Part 4 - • Newsnight follow-up on...
The last defector interviewed Kim Hyuck was also interviewed as well as many other defectors with amazing stories about their struggles in the book "Nothing to Envy". Anyone interested in North Korea should definetly read it. It's worth it.
@valeatukka There is also a Korea-association in Finland that promotes the Juche ideology and regularly receives visitors from North Korea. I just can't comprehend at all how one could delude oneself so much as to think that DPRK isn't the largest prison camp in the world.
The singing kids scare the crap out of me!
It as part 3. The full piece it in two parts, each of which had to split for CZcams upload. So while this is part 1 of the second broadcast it is part 3 of the full piece.
when she said the internet is free, kind of sad how it isnt anymore, half the stuff is probably going to be censored soon
@bsp1148 our most expensive and known gallery in sweden is named NK :P
I'm crying...
can someone please tell me what the name of the song is that starts playing at :50?
@seulementmoi Gotcha, thanks Seulmentmoi
wow! what amazed me more is everything the people who fled are saying
2:36. Whoa! Theres a computer on the sidewalk?! 21st century indeed! That's a first I've seen!
This is part 1
I did not once stereotype the people. In fact, I explicitly said the problem is the Government. There is still a lot of evil in North Korea and I cry for the people. They're so oppressed and they do not know how bad they're getting it. It makes me sick to my stomach.
If a country doesn't allowed itself to be helped or get helped. That country is a PRIDEFUL country because every nations needs one another to survive! It's a shame how these leaders think for their own country and allowing their people to suffered!
@bsp1148 What can we do about it though? I feel terrible for these millions of people and I do see it as my business but at the end of the day you and I can do nothing about it....
@lbio300 LOL, While Norks can't go anywhere, Americans can go anywhere in the world including NK. While Norks can't access Internet, you can. That's the difference.
@shedmeat No it was not Russia. Korean communists supported by China and the Soviet Union (still note: not Russia).
Who are these people that defend NK on these CZcams videos? I can only assume they're NK and are a part of the regime or Chinese sympathisers.
It's quite bizarre.
The reality here is like domestic dispute hostage situation. An abusive husband holds his wife & children hostage & threatens to kill them. He knows that if he surrenders & lets everyone live, he will be arrested & never get out of prison. He prefers to die & out of spite, he desires to kill his family. The NK gov't can't give up b/c the reckoning would be too horrible for them.
I really feel for the Children hope this will soon end
@badassreinitz China also supports NK.
the UK wouldnt go to war with them, i can tell you that for a fact. And japan wouldnt either.
As much as I agree with what your saying, there are a lot of bad things in North Korea. But it is not the North Korean people but the government in buy view. If you can name a few things which are good about North Korea, I will happily listen.
Their music is creepy.
@Aelfgeft Journalist acumen? It's not all about appearance. Everyone can understand her, so what's the problem?
It is very normal compared to some countries know to invade and use violation against country who choice DIFFERS. Yes, DEFECTORS have economic hardship and being poorly educated is one, but you cannot stereotype the entire NoKor based on defectors. That would be stereotyping a entirely nation based on homeless people's hardship.
does she have lisp...?
BUSTING OUT THE ENGLAND SHIRT!!! GOOD LAD
I lived in the USSR. Is it sad when I say that their music sounds like our propaganda... ?
Something that seems to be common in socialist countries: even the pieces of entertainment are something about technology, industry and sumptuous buildings. Or then just glorifying the great leaders. Some serious cult of personality here, dawg.
@barnsleymat or trolls... and americans are ridiculously easy to piss off. specially if it has anything to do with communism, socialism etc...
NK is the largest prison camp in the world.
@bsp1148 you are very wrong there is another prison camp...called : United States
only smart people knows of what i am talking about
This women is so disrespectful. You are in their country not yours
Have you ever visited this state??? there is very little normality about north korea..and the more they put up these theatres the more believable they are...personally I think the US should leave them alone..and let China provide food. Don t believe they have the technology to develop much with that abysmal isolation they have put themselves in.
@stephan40683 Is this a lolcat? I believe you mean, us haz occupy america cuz you haz miztakes government
@KOLTON545 Yeah but respect for what? Better to not respect the truth rather than support lies.
For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.-----1984, Orwell
If you are taught nothing except for what you are told. What do you expect to know about anything outside of what is put into your head. It is another way they keep the public subdued. They feed them lies and they have no choice except to believe. You do not know what they have to live like. It is truely sad. This is another reason korean unification needs to happen sooner rather then later. But "dear leader" has to kick the bucket first.
That's what socialism gets you
Hey reporter chick, say S for me. Not Ethh, ESSS!
wont be long till what happened to gaddafi happens here, he is starving his own people by not accepting help
First of all, north koreas diplomats have diplomatic status so they can t be prosecuted, but in Stockholm, where Nokor maintains an embassy, the swedish governments almost yearly expells nokor dilomats for drugdealing and smuggling..thats how the regime survives, and Sweden doesn t impose any information ban or travel bann on North Korea..of course north korean peasents can t go to Stockholm for holiday. You talk about Nokor, not western peoples, they travel freely and inform themselves.
theyre living in the past
Security of NoKor people trumps before personal view of non-NoKor citizen about NoKor. You choice for NoKor does not matters. Their choice to protect themselves against who is strange enough to know what is right for NoKor when they don't even live there. There is NO evidence that your country human right is better than NoKor. People are people; you are not smarter than them, and they are not smarter than you.
Here is simple. North Korean family loves their children as much as you do. And they don't like to be threaten with nukes which USA has. Democracy is for everyone in the world...if it is OK for you to do....then you cannot deny that to NoKor. Democracy is Equal Right for every country and their citizen. Once you DICTATE other what they cannot do, you don't know the true meaning nor care for real democracy. Also stop stereotyping the NoKor population. You should have learn that.
The world watches on NK as if it is none of their business while millions of innocent people are being tortured and murdered at this very moment in NK. It is about time that we step in and tell the dear leader, that's enough.
@94981745 We together can certainly change NK. The question is how desperate are we to change NK. In the meanwhile, we just watch on the atrocity in NK and millions are suffering. NK won't change its evil ways unless we stop them.
What North koreans would go to the US for tourism??? and the Nokor government isn t interested in any outside information filtering into their country and to their citizens. Nokor has itself proven to be a lousy trading partner so no credit or business oportunities...I have been no North Korea..a weird experience...and I had no conntact with normal north koreans..only government minders,dumb hotel staff and people that where shown to me...dancing children etcetc..
@8Eriquo8 Unbiased and true, coming from an American :)
@TheOrderoftheOwl Try reading "The Road to Serfdom" by Hayek, that's all I'll say :) Your opinion is irrelevant to me, I don't care whether you think "there should not be any billionnaires in the world", but lay your hand on other people's property or use violence against them and you are a thief or a thug and it becomes an issue. Take your greed (socialists are greedier than any capitalist) and jealousy elsewhere (North Korea will do).
Excellent point, if you don't live there, then go ask the entire NoKor population. For china, nuke NoKor neutralize any threat to their border. NoKor is very NORMAL like you countyry is NORMAL, but no way perfect, like your country is NO way perfect. NoKor education system trumps that of SoKor, like any Northeast Asian country education is greatly valued. NoKor is NOT isolated as they have economic/ military exchanges with Russia and China, and most of the Europeans.
DEAR LEADER! SHAME U HAVEGONE :(
