Why does the Guy at the beginning's skin look so dark? Why do most north koreans look so dark compared to the south? Is it a health thing, or hygiene?
Your videos are fascinating. Clearly they were pretty lax about letting tourists wield video cameras back then; all the stories I've heard about people taking recent trips involve them being watched like a hawk by their guide and only being allowed to take photos of certain things (monuments, etc.)
they're crying because they're next to be tortured in the gulag camps... i wish that four-eyed moron and the engorged one Kim Jong-il should be in the gulag camps, not those children.
He's telling them that because of the actions of their great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandparents, they will all sent to a labor camp.
This is a kids show? Theyy are not even smiling. This look like a formal introduction when kids go to school for the first time, When I was very young I watched Sesame Street with the character Elmo. I think I spelled it wrong but most people should know what I am talking about.
This is fucking evil! I wish this hate filled and disgusting world would get hit by a comet already! Why do humans have to do shit like this to each other!? FUCK!
I've noticed that they only show the children that are in the best of health while they continually hide those that aren't .....to use a childrens show for propaganda......speechless......
Hope this isn't too much of a grim thought, but I wonder how many of these kids survived the famine in the '90s. No matter what their nationality, I hope they made it okay.
Just months before the communist states started to fall like dominoes. One wonders what their worldview must have been like in the "glory days" with the USSR, DDR, etc. as their socialist allies.
like wtf the title is a lie all there is is an old man talking about a story and the srory isnt even communist..........but still this is from north korea
@RoseJack That is because they do not have any outside influence. They do not import clothing. Jeans are not allowed nor imported. Uniforms are mandated.
After the Korean divide and thr war, Korea withdrew itself from the world, with the exception of the U.S.S.R for trade and reliance. North Korea has no advertising, no news, mobile phones; even landlines in many cases, are not allowed and one radio station is only allowed. TV is on for 5 hrs a day with one station.
I'm very curious why these children are crying! Does anyone speak Korean? If so, please provide some details about what the storyteller is saying in this video!
In terms of personal freedoms, it is true, we (aka Free world) are ahead of N Korea. But the economic system we consumerist countries have, is the thing that keeps us in line. It's just a differend kind of control. I can't imagine a better way of controling someone who doesn't even know is being controlled and who is on paper not being controlled. The paycheck we depend upon each month is our control, our overseer, our tamer, our god.
but hell yeah i'd take that over north korea any time ;)
@cinefilRO western undemocracy is even worse dezhumanisation. Here in EU we look at sexistic bad and violent youth programs, and the people have no normal social thinking. This NK program is a good example for youth television, nothing bad. Yugoslavia was a good country, and NK would have been to if they werent alone in the world.
Turn off the Glen Beck and wake up to the fact that the U.S. government doesn't give a shit about its citizens. Our perceived freedom is an illusion. This country could turn into an overt totalitarian state faster than you realize. It happened in 1930's Germany, and it can happen here.
@GothikOrk The fact that you think I watch Glen "Rodeo Clown" Beck is high hilarity. Just because I think the U.S. is freer than NK does not make me some ultra right wing conservative. I'm far from it. There's a thing called "the excluded middle" that you might want to look in to.
What makes it extra delicious is that you are pretty much a Tea Bagger/Partier, only in reverse. You believe in the same slide toward totalitarianism, have the same paranoid delusions, only for different reasons.
If you dont think there's propaganda in the U.S., you obviously haven't seen the Exxon-Mobil commercials. When was the last time you were in the market for an oil rig? It's pointless to argue with you people. We're dumb cattle, bred to be used by the elite for their own selfish purposes. Some of us have realized that, but there's no point in saving those who refuse to listen.
@GothikOrk We may not know the extent or full weight of our decisions when it comes to supporting different corporations and so forth, but that is far different than living in a totalitarian state. Being duped by corporate lies and being forced to do what the Government tells you is not that same thing at all.
@GothikOrk I used to be like you, sticking it to the man and all. Then I graduated high school.
Take a moment to think about the proposition you're putting forth. You're arguing that a nation with unethical corporate practices is worse than a totalitarian state that starves its citizens, kills or imprisons anyone who dares criticize the Dear Leader, and indoctrinates its people from the crib to the grave.
@GothikOrk If the U.S. were even equivalent to North Korea, you would be either dead or in prison for putting for the ideas that you are. But you're not. You are free to criticize and even insult the U.S. because of the very freedoms you pretend don't exist. And most importantly, you can leave if you want to. You cannot say the same for the poor sots in NK.
P.S. I never said there was no propaganda in the U.S. There is propaganda in every country on the planet. Deal with it.
The U.S. is worse than Korea, it does next to nothing to help its own people in any appreciable way. North Korea not only abuses its own people out of principle, but doesn't have the means to improve the lives of those who live there.
If we took the money we wasted on the war on terror and it invested it in our own people, we would be in a better place than we are today. Gross negligence, deliberate abuse, what's the difference? Two sides of the same coin in my opinion.
@GothikOrk But why steal my bike?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
I should go to North Korea! They have plenty of bikes! And I'll probably only serve ten years in prison for reading a non-government approved newspaper! Free room and gruel! Hooray!
USA is basically a country where all the media is controlled.
It looks like it has free speech, but since it allows assassination by the government, its not really free. (007 and numerous government hired assassin movies show that ).
@dongsoola 007 isn't an assasin but a spy. and if a spy from my country would kill someone, IF, then not me for speaking my mind, but a foreigner who is a threat to my country. i also doubt the CIA would come to Holland to kill me for speaking my mind or for downloading 007 movies. there will always be organizations that operate "under the radar", wether fully or partially, but usually they have to answer to a party/leader you as a democrate could choose for or against.
@dongsoola Just one of the things wrong with that is 007 is British, not American. Besides, if you think we don't have a free exchange of ideas, just visit an American political forum sometime. Or hell, watch the Daily Show. The whole point of that program is to make fun of politicians and the government. Does NK have anything like that? I doubt it.
the music at the end sounds almost disturbingly german eh? there's a moment there where you might not be too stunned if some fellow in lederhosen with accordion would jump out and dance about as everyone celebrates with beer. incidentally, the beer at the international hotels in their capital there is apparently world class, on tap
@Brianmaitland Nothing creepy about it Brian. Many young people in non-Western cultures, including most of Asia, have a deep respect for their elders. Having an older person tell stories to young children is probably not only acceptable in their society but also most likely enjoyed by the children. I have met many young Asian students over the years and many have told how older people are respected, especially the elderly. eg grandparents etc. Barney is probably creepier than grandpa to them.
@sbalogh53 That's right! Until now, I still found those old folks quite entertaining!
Meanwhile here in the Philippines, senior storytellers are still a bit popular these days in several non-metropolitan areas and (ironically) some affluent communities in Manila.
Fucking hell. And they think they are privelaged to have such a "glorious" leader leading them to absolute stupidity, in the form of a children's show no less!
What is he saying to make the kids cry. This is the most F'ed up country in the world. Im so glade I live in the USA. I can do and say and watch what I want. Oh yeah I HATE our president here in the U.S. look Im not dead for saying it.
Model Pupils, kids with good grades and conduct get given red scarves as an encouragement in communist countries. They used to do that in China too. Like good kids get star stickers in other places I guess.
The old man would have no teeth left and say: "That's all folks! And remember kids, don't be a jackass like me otherwise you will lose all your teeth at a very early age. Luckily that I am an old man so getting smack and losing teeth for me isn't a big concern. Oooooooooo....... "
If you think the USA controls people you're wrong. I can use the internet whenever I feel like it and it isn't censored. I can criticize my government whenever I feel like it. I can watch hundreds of channels on tv without needing to listen to government propaganda. Same with radio. And most importantly, I can LEAVE if I want to.
NK doesn't even allow people to have cell phones and people can't even use the internet. If you don't think the US is better, then you're sick in the head.
My dear friend..this a discussion whithout end...we think different about this matter...but finally I expect that the world could be a better place. Greetings
@FuckingStanz The US isn't perfect but we are one of the best countries in the world. To compare with North Korea is ridiculous and hardly worth discussing.
In N. Korea, you can't use the internet, cellphones, criticize the gov't, or even have the choice to LEAVE the country if you want.... do I have to keep going on?
@seanspade The point wasn't the volume of channels, but that it is hard to find a channel that could truly be called "government controlled". There are biased mediums, but not straight out controlled by the government.
In North Korea, even the medium of the internet is outlawed. Internet is the least regulated medium in the world. So yes, unlike you, I most definitely judge a country's liberty by its control over the various mediums of communication.
@MoneysnHoneys That the USA doesn't control its people is exactly what the powers that be want you to think. But they do control us, in subtle ways. That's why it works. We're too dumb to know when we're being exploited and ruled over.
@GothikOrk That's a good example of bad policies, but to compare that with the government ordered execution of political prisoners, the starvation of a country's citizens who don't even have the mercy of being allowed to leave their nation, the constant reminder that their leader has supernatural origins.... puhlease, princess, don't be so stupid.
@MoneysnHoneys , media is controlled by big corporations in US, but of course it could not be compared to NKorea. I find it that we have a lot more freedom in Europe than US-anyone can protest without being arrested, like it happens a lot in US unfortunately...We have a lot more political discussions and critisism of the govmt, as well as many political parties, not like the 2 in US...
@Tihbialdunav Are you kidding me? Europe has much more violent protests than the US. And also, I don't where you get that the US gov'ernment forbids protests. You need a permit first because you can't just get a group of 50 people and block traffic in the middle of a big city . You also cannot become violent regardless of permits or not.... SAME as in Europe.
@MoneysnHoneys , I never said US govmt forbids protests but very often you get arrested, which doesn't happen in Europe, unless you hurt someone. And real democracy is not the case in US because investigative journalism doesn't exist-there is no real critisism, only "he said, she said" type of broadcast, focused on TWO political parties only. In many country we have about 10parties with influence, and many more trying to get to parliament.2 parties is not a democracy.
@Tihbialdunav Like i said before, you do NOT get arrested for protesting in the US as long you 1) have a permit and 2) are not violent. I imagine it's the same thing as in Europe. However, I do know for a fact that free speech is more limited in certain countries like Germany, where someone can't deny the holocaust (not that I deny it).
I also don't like the 2 party system, but that is the way voters are. Nobody forces them to vote only two parties.
@MoneysnHoneys But the internet is censored, if I try to post a link to photos of Iraqi children killed by US bombs, youtube blocks me. The government in the Western world uses news channels as propaganda, You can criticize the government but no one listens.
The term "freedom" is just used to keep people in line.
I know because I grew up post-communist Romania, in which "democracy" was a false idea, because you had less "freedom" than we had before + poverty + unemployment.
@Spockkker Individuals are free to censor their own websites, such as youtube. That is not government censorship. In fact, that's part of freedom speech. However, i understand that gov't censorship occurs in every country to a certain extent, but to compare the US to NK's censorship is just about the stupidest thing a human can do.
Not sure what you mean by "nobody listens", but if someone doesn't WANT listen to what someone ese says, then so be it. That doesn't imply gov't censorship either.
@Spockkker that's not so much propoganda, if you want to post photos of children killed by iraqi soldiers, youtube would block you there too. if you want to see photos of dismembered bodies, grab it from another site like ogrish. youtube doesn't let you post that kind of stuff more because of user complaints than government censorship.
@MoneysnHoneys well in terms of personal freedoms, it is true, USA is ahead of N Korea. But the economic system we consumerist countries have, is the thing that keeps us in line. It's just a differend kind of control. I can't imagine a better way of controling someone who doesn't even know is being controlled and who is on paper not being controlled. The paycheck we depend upon each month is our control, our overseer, our tamer, our god.
but hell yeah i'd take that over north korea any time ;)
@MoneysnHoneys ------"If you think the USA controls people you're wrong. I can use the internet whenever I feel like it and it isn't censored"------->U get a LOT of news sources but they always present the same points of view. Everyone for example knew Iraq had no WMD but it was made as "publically admitted" only after the invasion was completed. Before the invasion ALL mainstream news channels were telling Iraq had WMD for sure.
@MoneysnHoneys -------->Despite so much access to Arab news sources even, the all u r govts acted as per version of Fox News. And u r troops still remain in Iraq even if it became 340000 percent clear than Al-Q and Saddam were as related as your arse pirate self and say- tomato ketchup.
@xxxdieselyyy People in the US are split on the war issue, so you can't say that we're all "brainwashed" to do it. Fox news is criticized all the time. THey do have their right to speech, though.

@dongsoola 007 isn't an assasin but a spy. and if a spy from my country would kill someone, IF, then not me for speaking my mind, but a foreigner who is a threat to my country. i also doubt the CIA would come to Holland to kill me for speaking my mind or for downloading 007 movies. there will always be organizations that operate "under the radar", wether fully or partially, but usually they have to answer to a party/leader you as a democrate could choose for or against.

@dongsoola Just one of the things wrong with that is 007 is British, not American. Besides, if you think we don't have a free exchange of ideas, just visit an American political forum sometime. Or hell, watch the Daily Show. The whole point of that program is to make fun of politicians and the government. Does NK have anything like that? I doubt it.

Here's a song I just thought of for these children to sing:
Thank you Dear Leader for starving everyone in my family to death!
Thank you Dear Leader for murdering over a million North Koreans to death!
While others don't even have food to eat, you and your generals drink extensive important beer!

Brianmaitland 1 year ago 17
@Brianmaitland Nothing creepy about it Brian. Many young people in non-Western cultures, including most of Asia, have a deep respect for their elders. Having an older person tell stories to young children is probably not only acceptable in their society but also most likely enjoyed by the children. I have met many young Asian students over the years and many have told how older people are respected, especially the elderly. eg grandparents etc. Barney is probably creepier than grandpa to them.

Meanwhile here in the Philippines, senior storytellers are still a bit popular these days in several non-metropolitan areas and (ironically) some affluent communities in Manila.

Third.- USA is not the better place to live, I disagree.
Fourth.- I mean that both USA and NK systems, controls and manipulate the people by diferent ways
ZOTOBICRBOT 2 years ago
If you think the USA controls people you're wrong. I can use the internet whenever I feel like it and it isn't censored. I can criticize my government whenever I feel like it. I can watch hundreds of channels on tv without needing to listen to government propaganda. Same with radio. And most importantly, I can LEAVE if I want to.
NK doesn't even allow people to have cell phones and people can't even use the internet. If you don't think the US is better, then you're sick in the head.

seanspade 1 year ago
@seanspade The point wasn't the volume of channels, but that it is hard to find a channel that could truly be called "government controlled". There are biased mediums, but not straight out controlled by the government.
In North Korea, even the medium of the internet is outlawed. Internet is the least regulated medium in the world. So yes, unlike you, I most definitely judge a country's liberty by its control over the various mediums of communication.
MoneysnHoneys 1 year ago
@MoneysnHoneys That the USA doesn't control its people is exactly what the powers that be want you to think. But they do control us, in subtle ways. That's why it works. We're too dumb to know when we're being exploited and ruled over.

@GothikOrk That's a good example of bad policies, but to compare that with the government ordered execution of political prisoners, the starvation of a country's citizens who don't even have the mercy of being allowed to leave their nation, the constant reminder that their leader has supernatural origins.... puhlease, princess, don't be so stupid.
MoneysnHoneys 1 year ago
@MoneysnHoneys , media is controlled by big corporations in US, but of course it could not be compared to NKorea. I find it that we have a lot more freedom in Europe than US-anyone can protest without being arrested, like it happens a lot in US unfortunately...We have a lot more political discussions and critisism of the govmt, as well as many political parties, not like the 2 in US...
Tihbialdunav 1 year ago
@Tihbialdunav Are you kidding me? Europe has much more violent protests than the US. And also, I don't where you get that the US gov'ernment forbids protests. You need a permit first because you can't just get a group of 50 people and block traffic in the middle of a big city . You also cannot become violent regardless of permits or not.... SAME as in Europe.
MoneysnHoneys 1 year ago
@MoneysnHoneys , I never said US govmt forbids protests but very often you get arrested, which doesn't happen in Europe, unless you hurt someone. And real democracy is not the case in US because investigative journalism doesn't exist-there is no real critisism, only "he said, she said" type of broadcast, focused on TWO political parties only. In many country we have about 10parties with influence, and many more trying to get to parliament.2 parties is not a democracy.
Tihbialdunav 1 year ago
@Tihbialdunav Like i said before, you do NOT get arrested for protesting in the US as long you 1) have a permit and 2) are not violent. I imagine it's the same thing as in Europe. However, I do know for a fact that free speech is more limited in certain countries like Germany, where someone can't deny the holocaust (not that I deny it).
I also don't like the 2 party system, but that is the way voters are. Nobody forces them to vote only two parties.

@MoneysnHoneys But the internet is censored, if I try to post a link to photos of Iraqi children killed by US bombs, youtube blocks me. The government in the Western world uses news channels as propaganda, You can criticize the government but no one listens.
The term "freedom" is just used to keep people in line.
I know because I grew up post-communist Romania, in which "democracy" was a false idea, because you had less "freedom" than we had before + poverty + unemployment.
Spockkker 1 year ago
@Spockkker Individuals are free to censor their own websites, such as youtube. That is not government censorship. In fact, that's part of freedom speech. However, i understand that gov't censorship occurs in every country to a certain extent, but to compare the US to NK's censorship is just about the stupidest thing a human can do.
Not sure what you mean by "nobody listens", but if someone doesn't WANT listen to what someone ese says, then so be it. That doesn't imply gov't censorship either.
MoneysnHoneys 1 year ago
@Spockkker that's not so much propoganda, if you want to post photos of children killed by iraqi soldiers, youtube would block you there too. if you want to see photos of dismembered bodies, grab it from another site like ogrish. youtube doesn't let you post that kind of stuff more because of user complaints than government censorship.

@MoneysnHoneys well in terms of personal freedoms, it is true, USA is ahead of N Korea. But the economic system we consumerist countries have, is the thing that keeps us in line. It's just a differend kind of control. I can't imagine a better way of controling someone who doesn't even know is being controlled and who is on paper not being controlled. The paycheck we depend upon each month is our control, our overseer, our tamer, our god.
but hell yeah i'd take that over north korea any time ;)

@MoneysnHoneys ------"If you think the USA controls people you're wrong.

Everyone for example knew Iraq had no WMD but it was made as "publically admitted" only after the invasion was completed. Before the invasion ALL mainstream news channels were telling Iraq had WMD for sure.
