#3 I recall the story of the Ambassidor from NORK who visited a modern Grocery store here in the US and broke down crying at the shelves bursting with food, and finding out it was an everyday thing, not a setup.(Other shoppers were filling buggies and checking out)

#4 I heard the same thing about Russian diplomats back in the '70s.

In either case, they were probably warned ahead of time.

#5 Now that I think about it, it wasn't Russian diplomats, it was some Russian citizen who had supposedly figured out what the Russian government had been doing to them with the food lines.

#7 There was a similar bit in the book The Hunt For Red October in which the the crew of the October were flown over D.C and noticed all of the cars below and knew it couldn't have been faked.

Another story, the soap opera Santa Barbara played in India. The opening shots show wealthy houses along a cliff line and Indian folk realized that these were real houses. Apparently this undercut some of the garbage the communist party in India was saying at the time.

#8 #2, Operation Fax Seed?

#9 Surprised there are any fax machines in South Korea (South Korea has better / faster internet connections than the U.S. And a fair amount of "internet addiction").
