Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Subject:
North Korea’s rocket condemned by White House as ‘propaganda’
|
he White House on Tuesday denounced secretive North Korea's overtures to international news outlets ahead of a long-range rocket launch as "propaganda." It also mocked the impoverished Stalinist regime's claim that it merely aims to put a weather satellite in orbit, saying it should just "go to weather.com."  
Taking aim at North Korea's unprecedented media blitz ahead of the planned launch, U.S. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told reporters that "you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know this is propaganda. North Korea is trying to advance, test and show off its ballistic missile technology. The U.N. bans this activity, which is why they're using the press to pretend it's a satellite launch."
"North Korea doesn't need to spend this kind of money on a weather satellite," Vietor said in an emailed statement. "Go to weather.com. Reporters visiting North Korea just to cover this launch are missing the real story—history is passing North Korea by, and millions of innocent people are starving to death because the regime spends all its money on weapons."
Vietor also drew attention to a "horrific" report by a human rights group that North Korea detains more than 150,000 of its people in political prisons and labor camps.
North Korea says its rocket launch, expected between Thursday and Monday, aims to put a satellite called Kwangmyongsong-3 (Shining Star) in orbit as it marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the country's revered leader, Kim Il Sung.
