Inside North Korea: No Ads, No Planes, No Internet, No Mobiles, No 21st Century... A rare dispatch from deep within the lunatic rogue state enslaved by Zombie and Sons
By JOHN SWEENEY IN PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA 13 April 2013
Down, down inside the Pyongyang Metro stands a statue of the Eternal Ruler of North Korea, Generalissimo Kim Il Sung – dead these past 19 years but still calling the shots. Brainwashing cast in bronze.
The regime’s florid propaganda blares from loudspeakers: ‘The pure white snows of our sacred mountains’ artillery will wipe the filthy enemy from existence.’ Or something like that.
The newspaper racks on the platforms detail the latest from the ‘American imperialist aggressors’ and warn of thermo-nuclear war.

No ordinary North Koreans talk to us. Almost 400ft below the surface, it’s hard not to feel that we’re trapped inside a doomsday cult like the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, or Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple in Guyana. Only this one is a cult nation, armed with nukes, and the clock is counting down to Armageddon.
I’ve reported from Ceausescu’s Romania, Saddam’s Iraq, Gaddafi’s Libya, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe and the Ayatollahs’ Iran – but after eight days undercover in North Korea, I believe this regime is the most frightening tyranny of all.
North Korea is capable of nuclear missile strike, say US spies citing anniversary of grandfather's birthday as date for possible test launch Kim The First’s grandson, Kim Jong Un, has the power to make the biggest of bangs. The new boy-God holds his people in near-total mental enslavement.
The regime is mad, bad and silly, all at the same time. But its grip is fading – and that makes it even more dangerous.

I watched all three parts. Couldn’t take my eyes off it. Reminds me of the drabness of Poland before the wall came down. Too bad the film makers couldn’t escape their handlers.
Very, very sad.
You will see first-hand what we, as patriotic citizens, are fighting to prevent from happening in our own country.
As the poster above stated so emphatically about the video....you can't stop watching it!
It's unreal, other-worldly, chilling, eye-opening.....and yet there's a pervasive tongue-in-cheek humor throughout thanks to the very sharp, talented producer and narrator of the film odyssey through Never-Never Land.
I think his innate sense of the ridiculous kept him sane. See for yourself.

They would be flag-waving patriots tomorrow.
In other words, it's "green".

I saw this story kinda remind me of 1930 Soviet Union purging Ukraine
