You have a very cute perspective and definition of government. They are there to govern, with power, not to serve. I hope you build that polital service entity one day, but for now, men seek power by governing other men.
To be powerfull there , you have to be slefish , and cruel... and the more power you have... you become even more power hungry ... why? Cus they know ... that if they ... stop being like this ... they will go out of the goverment... get poor or shoot.... so yea.... they really dont have a choice .... beacause they will be dead ... they and theri familis
I used to live near the border of North Korea in China and the conditions in the video was totally true! The policies in the country was horrible and against humanity.
I have more then 500 pintures, ...you are alloqed to take pictures mostly everywhere you go during the visitt... of course that everything is orquestrated, and that you must go with 3 "guides"... but some thinhs are a bit exagerated...in terms of sensationalism. The place is a shit, and the poor people lives like in a big coult... but i even have north korean currency in my travelling wall, and the north korean military system is not looking for me as a criminal...hahaha
Yeah, this is just so insane and so messed up like on a whole new level entirety of hell on earth I mean man the state of this video's atmosphere alone changed my progression on how I viewed life and want to thank you for making such a thing like this man... I know this video is quite old well only about 3 years old but still I just want to thank you for making this the Best way you could showing the other side of the world besides N.K. that they are such a mess in such trivial mess upon nonsense. I can't say it enough to how messed up it is but how grateful I am to not have been born in that country or come from that kind of place that's poor but full of war on violence like if it was WW2 again or something lol honestly if I had of came from a country like that unlike the U.S.A. and realized what situation I was in from other people the I'd probably would have ended my own life by now or something like that because being held prison in a (In My Opinion) Hitlerlike country which is more worse than a prison because even in prisons or jails I believe from the states at least let you carry a bible or read a book here and there don't they? Well yeah from there in North Korea though man life just wouldn't seem the same for me and really couldn't blame anyone for taking their own life their living in such a hellhole of a situation so I'd cry for them too. It shakes my soul in such a uncomfortable way seeing something like that. Maybe that is how World War 2 was after all or the closet thing to it maybe..
This broke my heart to see that all the peaceful stuff singing,dancing,celebrating is happening to all countries including Bangladesh. We should bring more peace to North Korea and not make it like a prison.
Someone who DOESN’T live in North Korea, I can unsafely say around the government that I have no opinion on North Korea, thank you for listen to my ted talk.
There are high chances for that to happen. After many leaders maybe one of them will think good about North Korea and start caring less of the army but more in the people.
Everyone: Man that’s a very depressing country, thanks for documenting! Me and a few others: THIS DUDE RISKED HIS LIFE BY DOING THIS, HE DESERVES SUBS AND LIKES
I just remember when WCW went there. Apparently Ric Flair was so happy to be outta there that he kissed the ground when he landed in free Japan. The government wanted Ric Flair to betray the US by saying that North Korea was the best, but he was like "NEVER!".
You made me 😢! Wow, this is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! And a lot of us think that we have it Bad!! In reality we all don't know what Bad is!! I WILL PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE!! GOD PLEASE BLESS THEM😇🙏!! And you said something about South Korea, I assume it is the same way over there too, or am I wrong?💜😇🙏
Sometimes, I’ve heard rumors that the kids are being taught and shown pretty graphic cartoons, and I think I can use my memory form that the cartoons were having firing guns, blood, over the top military (like salutes, border control, ect.) and just overall gore. None of this should be shown, and thank god it’s basically illegal in pretty much everywhere else.
North Korea is a sad place I mean you can’t even believe in the one that made you like really I hope one day god will break open the gates of that place and tier the walls down
3:00 These children are so adorable its so disappointing that this country chose military over ANYTHING not people or anything, its so locked up I feel bad for the kids,
I have a feeling that Nas is being tracked by lots of assassin's hired by different companies he exposed and agents from the countries he exposed. I hope he doesn't get into trouble.
North Koreans do not have access to the internet, they have their own network and computers run on Red Star OS, everything is controlled and isolated from the outside world.
@New Warehouse imagine caring about military and not the people in ur country I think North Korea doesn’t deserve any people in their Is their any country that can save these poor people from this cruelty?
We seriously need to take action against this as its neighbouring countries like russia and china are also like this just different but north korea is on another level of this and needs to be shown if we want it to be different we need to show the people of north korea what its like outside of the country but unfortunately its physically impossible the soldiers dont know the people dont know it is only the government if things go downhill in Ukraine it will be either be the end or the rise of north koreas segregation to the world
It's called the result of foreign sanctions disallowing participation in world markets. *Sourced Review* This video has to be satire. It's terrible documentation nonetheless. Let's break everything down. To the select few that read this, thank you, my goal isn't to make you believe anything, my goal is to inspire intellectual and educational criticism. > *"Soldiers will inspect everything you own"* This is understandable, even in America, customs officers will search through your belongings, worse yet, nearly all technology has tracking and recording software. > *"Religion is banned"* Presbyterian Minister Gang Ryang Uk served as vice president of North Korea [1972-1982] Methodist Minister Kim Chang Jun served as vice chairman in the People's Assembly Constitutions (1948, 1972, 1992) guarantee freedom of religion and non-religion.

Many nations support sanctions against North Korea, North Korea's ideology conflicts with their own, pro-rich agendas such as economic imperialism. These sanctions are a large cause of the harm that North Koreans face.

That is not enough to make the outstanding claim, where are the power outage statistics? At least interview some people and ask how often power goes out. > *"Poverty is Apparent"* Shows a healthy-looking, well-dressed person sweeping stairs looks better than America's garbage cleaners. > *"People are trapped inside"* Shows people outside, while I've already sourced North Korea's ability to leave the country. Counter Source: North Koreans usually leave the country for work, business, and studying - Sourced Article: www.youngpioneertours.com/can-north-koreans-travel/ Counter Source: Interview with North Korean citizens in South Korea - trvid.com/video/video-ktE_3PrJZO0.html > *"What do you want to say to the camera"* It is unprofessional to assume anything from this exchange. What we can observe is a healthy, well-dressed man saying hi will a smile on his face, laughing, willingly taking a selfie (obviously familiar with what one is). From appearances, looks like your standard business attire, my hypothesis is the person is on his way to work, and analysis of body language determines a sense of needing somewhere to be. > *"They don't matter"* An empty statement not worth addressing. > *"What matters is the missile, the tank, the soldiers..."* Another empty statement. Based on North Korea's good economy and healthcare, we have more reason to believe that multiple things matter to the government, including its means of national defense. Nearly all nations have missiles, tanks, and soldiers. > *"Fake illusion of power"* There is nothing fake about their power, nuclear weapons are the 'paper tiger' that keeps them from being invaded by say, those who emplace genocidal sanctions, like their Southern neighbor who constantly trains for fake-invasions upon North Korea. With neighbors like that, I'd want a good defense too. DPRK's military doctrine is to deter conflict and to make the most damage to anyone that harms them. > *"Military displays are everywhere in the country"* Wow, pretty fireworks, I wonder what's militaristic about that and where the proof is of this statement. Even if that is a military display, where's the proof of that, where's the proof that it's "*everywhere* when we only see one location? You do realize many countries have legal fireworks all year round? > *"Leaders on every building"* At 2:14 where are the leaders on those buildings? Admiring the national significance of those who contribute is nothing crazy. Man, wait until this guy visits Washington DC! > *"This is what the country chose to focus on at every cost"* Couldn't even interview any citizens, or better yet, higher-ranking officials for that claim? > "*And not this*" shows singing students in school (trying to say bad/lack of education?)

We have no proof that these children are from North Korea, BUT we have no proof that these children are from the South either. Unprofessional footage. > *"Orchestrated for what the government wants you to see"* Another unprofessional claim by the documenter, this claim is conspiratorial as it suggests that all people he documented, every power outage he supposedly witnessed, all firework displays, all displays of the military, everything... was orchestrated? > *"I cried"* If I was as bad of a journalist and documenter as you are, I'd cry too. >*"There country is and will always be a prison"* If DPRK is a prison with healthcare, travel, work, performance shows, fireworks, singing, etc, I prefer this "prison" over any prison, any day. >*"One day it may be as prosperous as its neighbor, South Korea"* Counter Source: A Forgotten Generation: Half Of South Korea's Elderly Live In Poverty - www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/04/10/398498496/a-forgotten-generation-half-of-s-koreas-elderly-live-in-poverty Counter Source: South Korean Slave Islands for Disabled People - www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2894429/South-Korea-s-dark-secret-Remote-islands-families-send-mentally-disabled-relatives-work-slaves-salt-farms.html
As people who live in America, United Kingdom, Germany, anywhere in Europe and mostly the rest of the world, We don't realize that we have good rights, we take those rights for granted, even though some people who are black are still disrespected, its nothing compared to what the others experience, like Afghanistan or Pakistan where women have 0% rights, or the North Koreans who can't even access the internet or share their opinions on politics. So If you live in a place with freedom and you feel your rights are being disrespected, just think about the people in North Korea. This video almost made me cry.
After watching this, I was scared to death and you were right: North Korea is DEPRESSING😨😰 If I was ever there, I would be like “What kind of place is this?!?!!”
