The North Korean Thought Police

The following post was first published on my now defunct blog "Random Acts of Thought" on August 10 2005

Totalitarian state are truly grim and frightening things and perhaps none exist today more grim and frightening than North Koreas hideous regime.Today I read something that blew me away. It is something that I can scarcely believe. It seems like a literary device from a George Orwell novel.. It isn't. It is a literal truth. Of all the things I have read about this bizarre and evil regime somehow this strikes me as the most disturbing.

“In North Korea homes the state issued radios broadcast only one (government) station… North Korean radios can be turned down but not off.”
