| ITU Laughs at Nork Satellite Claim | |
| 2009-04-10 | |
The International Telecommunication Union, the international agency in charge of radio frequency allocation for satellites, has dismissed North Korea's claim that it successfully put a communications satellite into orbit last Sunday. In an interview with Radio Free Asia on Tuesday, Sanjay Acharya, ITU's chief of media relations and public information, said the organization has no information about a satellite, adding that nobody else has probably been given any information about it either.
Acharya said if the North arbitrarily used the frequency, which the ITU has never allocated, it could interfere with the frequencies of other existing satellites, but added there were no reports or complaints from member states. Experts regard communication between a satellite and its earth station as the sign of a successful satellite launch. The governments of South Korea and the U.S. have announced that the North's satellite failed to reach orbit. Neither the Radio Research Agency nor KAIST Satellite Technology Research Center in South Korea has received a signal from the satellite. | |

| #3 Should keep in mind, ala WORLD MIL FORUM + OTHER CHIN FORUMS: * NOKOR = KOREAS, ETC. is the "FACE OF CHINA" to the World. * NOKOR = KOREAS is CHINA's all-important STRATEGIC BUFFER STATE, espec agz JAPAN + RUSSIA + US-EUROS-WORLD NATIONS [read, MIL-ECON POWERS]that do trade wid Nippon + Russia. LOSS OF KOREAS > Chin fears a "DOMINO/RIPPLE" EFFECT of various ANTI-CHIN GEOPOL TRUUUBLES all along EAST-SOUTH ASIA in consequence. * CHINA has made it clear many times it will NOT accept nor tolerate any PRO US-WEST, ANTI-CHIN, NON-COMMIE/SOCIALIST POST-KIM REGIME to be in charge of NOKOR. In sum, IT MAY NOT [yet] BE IN KIMMIE's DYNASTIC = STATE INTEREST TO HAVE A RELIABLE LR MISSLE SYSTEM includ NUC-WMD WARHEAD, not unless he's willing to accept the consequences as per China + GREAT POWER" CONFRONTATIONISM. Despite NOKOR's pervasive hunger prob, Kimmie ala "CHINA PROBLEM" may desire to take a protractive, well-calculated/measured approach to CHINA within the parameters of the POST-9-11, ISLAMIST-LED BREAKUP OF COLD WAR ASIAN NUKULAR ORDER. |

| #1 ...the Kwangmyongsong-2 satellite is in orbit and sending the tunes of the paeans "Song of General Kim Il-sung" and "Song of General Kim Jong-il" to earth on the frequency of 470 MHz. Coming up next on "North Korean Top Two", the "Song of General Kim Il-sung" and "Song of General Kim Jong-il". Right after this from Burger King... |
