NORTH KOREAN 'ELECTIONS' HELD YESTERDAY: KIM JONG-IL "RE-ELECTED" WITH A (SURPRISE!) 100% TURNOUT AND 100% OF THE POPULAR VOTE

Communist North Korea TV yesterday (via NNN Japan TV feed) broadcast a series of live and recorded reports from around the country showing a cult-like, mass-brainwashing exercise called 'general elections" for the 11th Supreme People's Deputies.

FReepranslation/Explanation of the Video: The short and chilling report, in Japanese and Korean, (based on communist Pyongyang TV yesterday) shows staged mass dancing before DPRK polling places, shows people emotionally saying they are happy to re-elect the 'Dear Leader', shows other North Korean military officers eerily dancing with each in front of polling places other after casting their ballots, a sample ballot, women with a hula hoop, shows a North Korean polling place where voters are put on video when they vote (so much for "secret ballot!"), Kim Jong-Il himself casting his own ballot, and North Korean electors being forced to bow before photos of Kim Il- Sung/Kim Jong-il before placing their People's Deputies ballots in the ballot boxes.

All of this perhaps will be shades of Jim Jones' "Jonestown", Hare Krishna, Aum Shinrikyo, Panawave Laboratories or some other such religious cult.

Watch. And value your own American freedom you have every day!

But cult or no cult, this is the one dangerous country that is rapidly moving to have the production capacity of 10-12 nuclear weapons per year and which seeks nuclear blackmail capabilities in Northeast Asia and the Pacific.

JOHN BOLTON, speaking in South Korea last week, had it right! North Korea is "one hellish nightmare on earth!" No wonder the insulted Northies now refuse to negotiate with the USA if BOLTON is at the negotiating table.

[Semper Paratus]

Last leader to get that kind of vote was Sadaam Hussein.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Ping!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Ping!!

[MEG33]

Perhaps he helped convince them to agree to the negotiating table.Truth is a tonic.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Kim's general could use a good meal.

nuclear nightmare:understanding north korea ... though it is a nyt presentation, it might still be interesting

[FreeTheHostages]

I'm sure that not everyone's a true believer. People don't like to starve. Don't you think so?

[Paleo Conservative]

That's funny. Didn't Saddam get elected with a similar vote total just a year ago?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Poor North Korean man/woman in the street. They are forced to believe. You are "100%" right. They need the help to break the shackles. We'd ask they do the same for us if we were in their shoes.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I'd be very interested in FReepers would see these videos (a little over 2 minutes I believe) and let me know their impression and/or if the links worked! Thanks~!

[TigerLikesRooster]

John Bolton Bump!

[zarf]

LOL!!! Dig that camera at the ballot box!! Friggen ATM security for Kim's protection!!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

It's cool how the Japanese NNN TV editors in Tokyo circled both the two pictures of the Kims on the wall, and the surveillance camera filming each and every person casting a ballot.

[Coop]

Zogby nailed this one.

[Bluntpoint]

Gore could get 125% of the vote in North Korea.

Thats even with after his attorneys disqualify most of the Korean military vote.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I thought it was something like 99% for Saddam. At least he had 1% humility in his dictatorship.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Anyone else go to the video streams and check it out? What did you think?

[Fudd]

You beat me to it. Saddam was 're-elected' after getting 100% of the 'vote'.

Somebody should tell David Letterman that the hula-hoop girl is moonlighting.

RE #18
