    Satellite state

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

    The term satellite state, by analogy to stellar objects orbiting a larger object, such as planets revolving around the sun, refers to a country that is formally sovereign but that is in fact dominated by a larger hegemonic power. In extreme cases, satellite countries may be virtual colonies with little political, economic or military independence.

     

    The expression is used primarily to describe the Central and Eastern European countries of the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War, which were dominated by Soviet influence from 1945-1948 until 1989. Cuba was also accused of being a Soviet satellite once it began to receive substantial economic and military aid from the Soviets.

     

    Throughout the Cold War the effect was reciprocated largely towards the United States whereby NATO powers and other anti-communist governments were said to be maintained by American imperialism, taking more crude forms as "puppets" and "running dogs" as in for example North Korean propaganda against the South Korean regime during the reign of leaders such as Syngman Rhee.

     

    The term has since been appropriated to explain the subserviant role of past nations to great powers. Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and many long-gone empires are thus sometimes said to have acquired or ruled satellites.

     

    Here's another interesting read: Finlandization

    Ok

     

     

    Finlandization .. haha

     

    Neutral Power:

    "... After the war, Swiss authorities considered the construction of a Swiss nuclear bomb ..." "... in 1958 the population clearly voted in favour of the bomb... " :blink:

     

    switzerland seems much more neutral (imo) :ph34r:

     

    but yes let's call czech 3rd world if we place finnland in the 2nd world ;)

    yes .. cause and effect

    psy & psychedelic(a) ... do you see the connection?

     

    i'm sure lot's of people who used to drug-trip at parties

    are following a rather political way nowadays .... at least the posts lead to this conclusion.

     

    i'm also convienced that there are lots of people who never took psychedelic(a) and have alot fun with goa/psy music.

     

     

    in 1995-1998 i was at several goa-parties.

    and lsd-trips and similar drugs were a visible core of the party community.

     

    ok .. back to the topic;

    "What does a Psy Trance party need?"

    if the question was "what does a goa party need?"

    i would say ... happy people, strange location and unusual weird and some kind of emotional sick but very sympathic sound.

     

    ... but psytrance party ... well ... it's always loud therefore

    it must be the music that counts most!
