This is EXACTLY what happened in the months before the Berlin Wall came down.
Just as you can be sure that almost any Reuters reporter is a Mossad agent, you can be sure that almost every North Korean "defector" is reporting back to North Korea and may also have a specific mission to be executed.
The defections coincide with fresh tales of the Kim regime's depredations against its own people. A North Korean scientist known only as "Dr. Kim" told the BBC that he used experimental chemical weapons on political prisoners, taking notes as they died in agony. Such experiments were apparently used to determine how much gas would be necessary to annihilate the city of Seoul... In the best-case scenario, a mass exodus of discontented North Koreans would eventually lead to the peaceful implosion of Kim's regime. These hopes may seem far off, but it's worth bearing in mind that neighboring countries played a pivotal role when the fall of East Germany was precipitated by a massive influx of East Germans into West Germany in 1989. Most notable was Hungary's refusal to turn away East German and Romanian refugees en route to the West.Not so fast. If Kim's regime falls, there will be one less foreign leader who wants Kerry to defeat Bush.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
