Listening Post - North Korea - Nov 14 - Part 2

[Lnce03]

ARE THEIR ANY BLACK PEOPLE IN NORTH KOREA!?!??

[Okatieboy]

@Lnce03 NO! NONE and very few white people as well.

[Hec87x]

Wasssssssup!!!!!

[cdoftx]

@Hec87x Ahh, silly Obama voters. Thought that he'd end the wars and give greater freedoms.

[LeoKoProduction]

0:45 sound like dbz!:)))

[dieselscience]

WAIT!!! North Korea is SECOND from the bottom on 'press freedom???'

Who the cornbread HELL IS ON THE BOTTOM?!?!

[mikewbma]

@dieselscience Eritrea is at the bottom.

[dieselscience]

@mikewbma That's a difficult to achieve accomplishment.

[technical010]

@dieselscience

Eritrea i guess.

[govtiscool]

I been seeing alot of youtube.com documentrys creapy!!! all are staged or followed... WTF! ANY REAL MEDIA WITHOUT BEING HURT OR THREATEND LOL I MEAN WHAT WOULD HAPPEND IF SOMEONE GOT MAD PLEASE DONT FILM LOL THEY WOULD SAY THAT THEN SHOOT OMFG!

[63gstone]

Some change...

[mrcrazyfool82]

nk nutjobs



[tkodawg1]

FUCK NK, NUKE AND KILL THEM ALL!

[Q3hero]

North Korea Best Korea

[jwh30385]

@Q3hero I highly doubt you have any idea what you are talking about, and I also highly doubt that you have visited both Koreas to judge for yourself.

[omnikittens]

it's funny listening a guy in al jazeera spaking about real journalism

[Trondesson]

@omnikittens That's damn true.

[sewagedweller]

reporters are shitting bricks ...... cant blame them

[marktsheppard]

fucken sad

[PhatFarm60]

I love Al-Jazeera, it is refreshing to hear news that doesn't have a pro-Israel Zionist slant to it. The Jews did try to buy it just last year, proof that they want to control all the world's media.

Not unlike Kim Jong Il controlling all of North Korea's media.

[elconrad2]

if they did ask the farmer, he would be killed or sent to a concentration camp.

[ItalianoLatino82]

I can't wait till the DPRK is a land of Democratic state so that I can take a vacation there. When I am there I will take a piss on Kim jong II's grave. Then take a big nasty diarrhea shit on Kim ii Sung's grave. I will hold my bowels as long ass possible.

[Calgar88]

@ItalianoLatino82 Right on dude!

One thing that'd ve cool though, would to take a vacation in north korea after it has collapsed and go through all the secret bunkers, weapons depots, military bases, cities, etc.

[ninetails7]

Nice to know AlJazeera's reporters got some of their own medicine :) lol

[Vercetti777]

N.K suck

[banex8881]

THIS IS PURE PROPAGANDA OF USA i will say only that

[justmine4me]

lol

Al-Jazeera is actually pro-Arab, not pro-USA/pro-Zionist...

[slunkmonky]

this is an al jazeera report you .... misguided soul.

[reallysecretusername]

@banex8881 wtf? are you saying that Al Jazeera is controlled by the US government? I seriously doubt it. Care to prove it?

[sittingduhk]

its baseball, apple pie and AlJazeera here in the good ole USA

[koffiekpatcha]

Long live the Great Leaders Kim Jong Il and Nancy Pelosi and thr great people who follow them.

[jas03000]

A fucking prison.

[koffiekpatcha]

[kingofdice66]

kim jong( ill leader)

[BusinessNK]

businessNK on youtube

has films on foreign business activities in North Korea. Check it out!

[butchsoy]

Kim Jong looks like a cocaine addict. The bastard enjoys all the luxuries in life while his subjects rarely eats regularly.

[MountAthos]

If they could interview an average NK citizen, and the persons says they don't like it and want to leave, then that person and their family are shipped to a death labor camp where they are starved tortured and worked until they die. Would the interviewer care about this result? What benefit would it be? Even if you can interview someone they won't answer honestly if they value their life and their families lives. How can the media not know this?

[1000101er]

That's the point. They do know that.

But how can change come about if it's impossible for N. Korean citizens to communicate with the outside world and visa-versa?

The N. Korean people are like a bunch of dolls in Kim Jong-Il's toy chest. It makes me sick.

[paisleyyama]

Even if the journalist could ask the avg. citizen how they felt about the gov. controlling every aspect of their lives, how could he expect much of an answer when that is all they know? They have no other way of life to compare to. They have not tasted freedom to know how sweet it is.

[Arnack221]

Well actually, when North Koreans defect from the country (Pyongyong, more specifically), they always say that they miss North Korea and that they didn't seem to enjoy the freedoms as much as westerners would expect.

[paisleyyama]

"Always" is a strong word and usually inaccurate when generalizing about ppl. "Often" or "Sometimes" would be more accurate, sot I doubt every single defector wants to return to NK. Also the desire to return probably is more complex than just being disillusioned about the West. There is family & friends they miss. There`s prejuidice in SK. There`s lang. barriers in other countries. It`s probably not about NK being better but more about lonliness and isolation.

[Arnack221]

I know, always is a strong word. But generally, the "freedoms" that westerners speak of so much, is not needed for the Average North korean. You could safely say that they lead lives as happy as any other westerner (besides the people dying from hunger, though)

[paisleyyama]

It is hard to say if they`re more/less/or the same in happiness as others when their country is closed & we can`t get an open honest dialogue w/the avg. ppl. I would agree that the "freedoms" probably are not the big issue here but the oppression & corruption in gov. If ppl have a home, they are generally happy. But if ppl have to watch their words & trust no one lest 3 generations of family end up in a labor camp, that is misery. Yet ppl often choose misery over lonliness & separation.

[1000101er]

That strikes me as incredibly racist.

"Sure white people prefer not to be the hapless playthings of insane dictators, but for Koreans it's OK."

I guess they're made of rubber.

[csrocker101]

With all due respect I don't know what books you are reading. Most say they don't enjoy the technology as much (I.E. cars, TV, music players) but they enjoying eating food because of the famine most of them have gone through

[1000101er]

What are your sources?

You can watch dozens of videos here on youtube of refugees talking about how awful it was in N. Korea and how happy they are to be out. It's true that they seem to have a hard time adjusting to individual autonomy after a lifetime in slavery, but they don't seem to want to go back to having no control over their lives.

Are you an agent of the PRNK or something?

[Arnack221]

Watch some more documentaries. They just talk about they enjoy food much more than freedoms.. it wasn't that much to them as you would usually think as it to be. And WTF IS THE PRNK? Don't your mean DPRK?

[6473782593]

Fuck you North Korea,  odd ball

[ndnsoldierboy]

hey....state controls everything..??? That sounds like what Obama wants for the USA...

[bestamerica]

north koreans people are looking so sad faces. thinny bodies, and few people / less traffics

[9407113678]

Ironic ending really....people putting all their faith in another leader.

[lennix25536]

oh man! imagine no televisions no radios...omg!

[dafretfeoeo]

Im sorry guys but you will find a bloody body hanging in your closet it will haunt you unless you send this to 6 videos in 30 min

sorry

[09573323]

North Korea= mad dog

The only way to fix this crisis is to eliminate the mad dog.

[barrettarq]

FUCK AMERICA!!!! PUSSIES!!!!

America has no balls!!!

Israel, China and Russia tests their weapons systems regularly and they all have arsenals of nuclear bombs and America says nothing?? Pussy America only target a small country!!!

What hypocrisy!

[oniognome96]

The only reason that america doesnt respond to Israle, China and Russia using Nuclear weapons is because they are the U.S' allies. These are also stable countries. North Korea on the other hand threatens to use these weapons and is know to be unstable. Our allies, the South Koreans and the Japanese would be in immediate threat if North Korea decided to use its weapons.

Cheers

[Alex22222222222]

what and you have the balls to take on a country? Your such a stereotype of people only having the balls to critisize and show an argument on the internet

[barrettarq]

As ww3 follows Russia will close the door on the burning america like the video on my profile!!! on American soil!!!

[xxHOLiCxxx]

if it was up to the american ppl we would do something about this but unfortunatly the government does not bolong to the ppl anymore its becomed corruped and control by the globalist.

[udded]

north korea is like a cancer to the rest of the world and shame to humanity. but it's too dangerous to treat it because it might explode. we are in a morass. but invading korea won't be a solution, cuz then it would embroil china in the war and destroy the balance in the far east.

[donsteitz]

The key to ending this problem is in invading North Korea. Jim Jong Il lets his people live like crap (those who dont starve to death), while he imports fine booze and sexy foreign hookers for pucking.

[littlepebble2]

North Korea decided to occupy all land of South Korea.

Know, Love and Support the "Little Pebble" & "Father Jean-Marie".

If you do this, you can change tragic future of South Korea.

[stuky800]

They are all so skinny because they eat so much ..and are fcking brainwashed!

[gerry1976]

The problem is that the USA is starting to be like North Korea, we are monitor all the time with our personal lives, with social secutiry they know everything you do, the police is always checking on you if you have tickets, ect. The suppose "free country" is not so free after all.

[ovadafone]

this is because the u.s. is becoming a socialist country.

[Hairysteed]

Yeah, the bailout certainly was quite a step in that direction!

[InfiniteMushroom]

Neo-feudal corporate fascism, yes. Socialist, no.

[kdc29]

Has anyone ever thought how fuck-ugly Nk's uniforms are? I meen, If I took a shit on a shirt, and a pair of pants. Then put a little red dye on the side we'd have North Korean armour wears...

[moonlandingwasfake]

thats because they can not afford or have washing detergents. Only cardboard cut out cities LOL

[Hairysteed]

North Korea has just recently rejected U.S. food aid, eventhough NK depends largely on foreign food (some "self-reliance"!). I wonder how long North Korea can keep up like this!

[Hairysteed]

The problem is an invasion of NK could trigger Chinese response. The two countries do have a defence pact, you know. However, if NK were to invade the south, it'd be unlikely the Chinese would come to their aid and might even boycott them. Maintaining status quo is in China's interests

[rob0576a]

Eventually in time this chokehold will be broken but only when the western world realizes the huge paranoia the DPRK has towards foreign aggression whether real or not. The key is building positive relationships with the government of the DPRK, hopefully sooner rather than later.

[o0hyphy0o]

i heard the leader was a porn addict

[moonlandingwasfake]

where did you hear that statistic?

[DarthTigreros62]

5:27 I hope you did'nt get your minder sent to a camp for that comment!!!!

[Piscivorus]

The inner would of N. Korea reminds me of the world of Halflife 2- sad, bleak, hopeless oppression. It's a country under siege by a ruthless organized crime family no better than Saddam Hussein's.

[fireIIC]

It is even wose.

[Vedaseran]

Don't worry, we have our own dear leader who will turn this country into a socialist paradise.

[urantivirus]

That's a really moronic statement. I'm assuming you're American. Brainwashed repub.

[Vedaseran]

Brainwashed by whom? The media, our universities, our major corporations, some churches, the east coast, and the west coast are madly in love with the guy! Anyway, I was only half-serious. Barry will screw the country but he isn't capable of destroying our constitutional republic.

I'm also not a republican, I'm an independent.

[Vedaseran]

When out of an argument you can always just call me a "fuktard" or whatever it is you folks say.

[circuscase]

'Uranus' I can guess what you are - Eurotrash?

[urantivirus]

If you had half a brain, you'd just click on my name and check my channel. I can I guess what you are. A dumb ass American. To any other Americans reading this. I don't think that of all of you. Just this dumb ass and the one I originally replied to.

[soldier6993]

Love the commercial @ the end, I've never seen that one!

[rajasummer]

i love these people.they are smart.they dont need no body to apply any kind of commands to them.they are leading themseves they love their country.

[imalreadytooperfect]

Looks like a country frozen in time without no knowledge, technology communication or access to the outside world due to their ignorant communist leader who is leading his people astray and to believing that he is some type of god send. One day SK will conquer NK to free their brothers to freedom. Then will their eyes be opened. Hopefully china will break the ice.

[gavatza]

they can choose any kind of freedom if they want and when they want.,they arent american idiots

[imalreadytooperfect]

what do you mean 'they'? it's more like 'him' (the nk leader) the nk leader is leading them astray and making them believe his bullshit and i didn't say that they were american idiots and besides they are idiots for believing the nk leaders bullshit.

[gavatza]

there are almost 500.000.000 people in u.s.who believe only their president WITH THEIR OWN WILL,thats why this fucking world its a mess,and your problem is stll nk?

Just to know,i summers i meet lots of korean people,and they say that they dont feel nk like brothers,cause even their language is not the same too.....

Anyway history says that always after a dictatorship,comes democracy and THAT is the real problem..

[gavatza]

do you think Hugo Chavez is mean too?

[gOnads77]

n.k. have way less pollution out of the whole world i would'nt wanna live there

[imalreadytooperfect]

How can this country have any such knowledge of the world. They probably haven't even seen an indian, a white person, a black man, hispanic...whatever...what are they suppose to learn. That Noth Korean Government is mean.

[kangsamuel]

they have seen white..

LMAO!!!!

[wangweidi2002]

yeah, ur right....I think they have to open themselves to the world...However it's hard for NK leader to do that.

[Champagnefive]

check out youtube clip "blue-eyed pyungyang citizen"

English original title: 'Crossing the Line'

Directed by Daniel Gordon & Nicholas Bonner, British documentary filmmakers

[Thunderthor1988]

hahah this is fucking hilarious. i went to north korea this summer, it was awesome by the way and it totally understand waht this guy is complainin about. i like the tutour of Peublo and the little video they show... SO COMMUNIST ERA! thats so hard to find now adays.

[crackfare]

wow youtube finally has widescreen...

[alichoturko]

hermit kingdom

[misterelsh]

Pshh.. I normally like Al-Jazeera, but this is blatant anti-communist propaganda. The siege mentality is absolutely necessary when surrounded by hostile capitalist powers.

Hopefully, with the failure of the capitalist system, the DPRK will have more allies and not have to keep security so tight.

[Idude893]

Oh sure, call everything that's against communism propaganda. How hypocritical.

[lbarna66]

Kim, do you often comment here on YOutube under this pseudoname? :-) Surrounded by capitalist powers...like China? Anti-communist propaganda? Hell yeah! We've been through it here in Central Europe and it was 40 years of wasting time and ruling of the evil. Communism is the worst dictatorship and has always been so. Not liking the US does not make it necessary to like communism...

[tchengaje]

'Surrounded by hostile capitalist powers'??? China is one of 2 countries that border the DPRK...and it is neither capitalist nor hostile.

[Thunderthor1988]

hahah you idiot. have you been to China. I have and i can tell you What and that is that China is a free market economy. You confusing the Communist Part of China with China's economic policy. an amateur mistake. so to recap, China= capitalist but is a single part state, and the part just so happens to be called the Communist Part. get it? if not go read a book.

[1tephania]

Are you dense or what? China still calls itself communist. They just practice capitalist policies out of convenience, but the state philosophy still aims at creating a communist society and emphasizes core communist concepts like 'dictatorship of the proletariat' 'state ownership' at every turn. And even if it isn't communist, it is still NK's (awkward) friend.

[Thunderthor1988]

wow your a pathetic excuse for a human being. Is that what you honesty think? I feel sorry for your kids.

[1tephania]

Oh, no logical argument, just personal insult.

[Thunderthor1988]

There is no logic in your argument. You are an imbecile. Perhaps if you thought before you wrote, you may have something of substance to say.

[1tephania]

I didn't argue for anything, I only stated facts.

[Thunderthor1988]

havn't you embarrassed your self enough already? there is nothing more pathetic than someone who doesn't know when their beat.

[1tephania]

I'm beat? You didn't state any facts relating to China that goes against what I said. In fact, you didn't say anything about China at all.

[KonChul]

Your fucking retarded...

[Danesland]

@1tephania I disagree. China is not communist at all and never was. It was maoist, not socialist communist. And NK is juche.(juche is their official state ideology)

[1tephania]

@Danesland

Well, I am going to give it to ya that neither China nor North Korea aren't what Communist countries are supposed to be about. But it doesn't change the fact that China once was a hardcore Communist state and that much of its firms are still under state-control. As for North Korea, it is unequivocally Communist in its one-party rule, state ownership of the means of production, etc. Juche is just an icing on the top.

[jwh30385]

@1tephania It's North Korea's friend of convenience. Calling China communist is like calling Hong Kong communist. The PRC today is home some of the world's largest PRIVATE business conglomerates, and practices a market economy that in many ways is less regulated than most western economies. As for a "dictatorship of the proletariat", you and I both know that Hu Jintao and the Chinese proletariat have extremely little in common.

[subdivisions416]

I know! They TOTALLY should have talked about how the DPRK is not only a prosperous and efficient nation, but also a beacon of human rights in Asia.

Idiot.

[bfq3000]

perfect example of the importance of press freedom

[TECHKLEC]

I just can't imagine living there. While there might be some nice scenery, that 'society' is simply horrible.

[KonChul]

George Orwells 1984 comes to mind...

[sentinel2012]

I concur with your statement,and am not offended in the least bit. Just slightly embarrassed at my fellow citizens (quite a few of them) lack of reality...
