I wonder if the people there believe any of this?

"I wonder if the people there believe any of this?

I believe you'd find almost EVERYONE of the DPNK citizens believes EVERYTHING that comes from their only source of news. It's difficult for us to imagine how totalitarian that regime is. They have TOTAL control of information that flows into and out of the country.

The people in North Korea all believe they placed a satellite up their yesterday. There was dancing in the streets, people got drunk, there was even a special little folk song made about Taepodong which I saw on their Pyongyang TV news in the evening last night (rebroadcast by Japan TV). It was surrealistic.

Also on another network, on Japanese TV, a Japanese camera crew in China caught two North Koreans hurrying inside the DPRK embassy in Beijing, one yelled out with a big grin, flapping his arms, about the "Great Korean People and this achievement". No way could you tell these people that their little "satellite" which is supposed to be circling above and transmitting the Great General's theme song to the world, in fact is nothing but scrap metal being poked at in Davy Jones' Locker by curious deep sea crabs as we speak.

Ironic thing is, KCNA is a more credible news service than our MSM.
