Totalitarian Regimes and Technology a Note about North Korea's Rocket Program

If there is one thing that History has taught us…it’s that while totalitarian regimes enslave, murder and starve their citizens they can muster great leaps forward with their technology.

For example Nazi Germany with the V2 rocket program and Russia with the Sputniks. Both of which soundly beat the West with massive leaps forward in applied technology.

I only say this in light of North Korea’s rocket tests… Even though their vehicle broke up today…they WILL have a successful launch…The question is…what should the world do about it?  What will their “obstinance” force the West to do? (or even Tokyo for that matter). And who, who really, is in bed with North Korea?

    All these conspiracies and mysteries behind the sudden launch of the rocket from North Korea is still unanswered. It makes you wonder what really lies behind the facade they’re trying to put up.

    Millie, I completely agree. I’m not a hyper-dooms-day person….but for months now I’ve been reading “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. It’s a terrifying tome about the duping of a people…and basically the duping of a world that till the end was stuck thinking “there’s just no way he’ll do THAT.” In some ways I’m reminded of N. Korea. It’s an eye opener. Take a government’s word at face value–to our peril. I guess it could be said that…the devil is in the deeds…
