The Revolutionary Defense Council of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea this evening announced they had achieved controlled nuclear fusion for civil energy purposes, making the NE Asian state the world's first nation to achieve the elusive scientific goal of controlled fusion, an ideological victory for the Juche Idea and the Movement To Win the Three-Revolution Red Flag which mobilizes the mass of the Korean workers into a progressive, socialist front to advance the causes of peace, equality, anti-chauvinism and mutualism.

Congratulations to the farmers, workers and artisans of the DPRK on this historic achievement! The people of the world will benefit from this advance for clean, green, free energy.

If so, how reliable is the news site and how much should we believe this coming from the North Koreans?

Do you thing they'd become the next superpower with this achievement or US spies will copy the way to do it?

The DPRK is an officially atheist state that, nonetheless, has freedom and tolerance of religion enshrined in the DPRK constitution.

The DPRK does not have a "God" [sic] as "leader."

Of course, using obviously tyrannical western terminology, there.

I should have said "the fully benevolant, all-knowing and infallible leader "

Members of the DPRK Revolutionary Defense Commission are human and as fallible as anyone else. Neither are they omnipotent.

Of course, the great leader is very properly modest, but naturally, the people know the truth.

North Korea is a single-party state under a united front led by the Korean Workers' Party ("KWP").The country's government follows the Juche ideology of self-reliance, developed by the country's late Eternal President Kim Il-sung. Juche became the official state ideology when the country adopted a new constitution in 1972, though Kim Il-sung had been using it to form policy since at least as early as 1955.

The position Eternal President of the Republic is established by a line in the preface to the North Korean constitution, amended on September 5, 1998. It reads:

"Under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Korean people will hold the great leader Comrade Kim Il-sung in high esteem as the eternal President of the Republic". Thus, it will only ever be held by him.

Despite these official religions, much more attention is paid to the personalities of the deceased "Great Leader" Kim Il-sung and today's "Dear Leader", his son Kim Jong-il. Their portraits are omnipresent in streets, schools, public buildings and all private homes. The ideological statements and scriptures produced by the two leaders are the main basis of education for both children and adults. The story of the Kims' descent is surrounded with mythology. Children in schools are taught that they came down from heaven, and were placed on the top of Mount Paektu, where they were transformed into human beings. At public events, songs are sung that depict the leaders as saviours of the country as well as of each individual citizen.

This cult of personality, together with the doctrine of juche (self-reliance), has resulted in a deliberate replacement of the religions that flourished in the North before the rise of stalinism. According to human rights observers, this change of regime put an end to free religious activities, as the government only sponsors selected religious groups to create an illusion of religious freedom. It is unlikely that the annulment in 1992 of a constitutional clause which explicitly prohibited religious activities and endorsed the opposition of religion, brought any actual change in the situation.

And North Korea does god worship - they worship the father of the current leader if I remember correctly or maybe the leader before the current one. It's pretty crazy stuff, I mean beyond Hitler youth camps.
