It is surrealistic. I am sure one of the DPRK internet sites will rerun it in the next day or so. I also heard an English voice on Pyongyang TV over during the live broadcast of the procession so they no doubt have a version for overseas consumption. Boy those people were all over themselves, particularly the female KPA soldiers, they looked like they were going to wet their pants on the spot! Mass chaos/grief (staged but impressive no less). Most people would cry up a storm if told at gunpoint that if you did not weep vigorously enough you might end up in a NK reeducation camp (which nobody ever exits, except as human organs to be recycled for transplants or studied by NK medical students.

I think I mentioned before I had seen many videos when Kims father died and was floored at the degree of grief they exhibited then. But then we do know it’s required or dastardly things will be done to them. Even so...imagining this many people so completely submissive to any authority would be hard enough to imagine..but this stuff just defies reason. No wonder their military is so large...I think more to keep the people in line then fight a war!

I still say some of this outpouring of emotion might be other than grief...just using the occasion to let off steam otherwise they’ve had to suck up...and the more the better. Getting that out of their system just might be more helpful then we might think...if they do rebel it would require clear thinking and few able to do so with years of pent up emotions.

I’m sure you-tube will have some of this funeral as well.
