North Korea's moniker of "the hermit kingdom" is well earned. One can only hope that changes in the regime will occur that will end this terrible and pitiful isolation.

Time for our spyops folks to drop thousands of HF radios all over them.

Truth leads to overthrow.

The North Koreans are past masters at making themselves a total nuisance at what they percieve to be critical and vulnerable times in their major enemy's (read USA) decision cycle.
What a great opportunity for them. I can see it now, Kim Jong and a few of the boys slugging down cognac and watching the antics of his Pleasure Platoon. Suddenly, the Dear Leader, whose military prowess is matched only by his mustachioed amigo in camel country, has an idea. "Hey! Let's use 400 of our remaining 500 gallons of gas to drive trucks up to that lake where we dumped all those rods. The Migooks will think we're getting ready to go into production again. With our buds in Baghdad making the Yankees look one way, and those simple bastards in the American anti-war movement seizing on every bit of nonsense thrown their way, the old generals and politicians who still can't believe we've managed to hold out this long will be screaming about what a threat we are, and then we'll get to blackmail the saps out of more food aid, POL and hard currency. Am I a genius or what?"

Kim's propaganda machine keeps North Koreans in the dark

Gee, I thought it was the pathetic lack of electricity that kept North Koreans in the dark.
