Just take Guyana/Jim Jones and multiply it by 1000 magnitudes.

That is North Korea.

A few have the common sense or the will to escape. This is just one more obligatory meeting they are forced by their local unit to turn out and support; their were reports some months back that they had practice "crying sessions" to get ready for the big day when Chia Pet kicked the bucket, so they could position the most vigorous and convincing weepers up in the front...it appears from the video this is precisely what they have done. They are also I am convinced, filming people crying at one event and then putting the videos into various parts of the parade to kind of reflect that at this intersection or that monument, certain people gathered and cried. But the sky looks different and it looks like a splice job. I doubt they could leave anything up to full live TV as possible mistakes would occur. They could then videotape crying in advance and make sure it had no errors, then add it into the live broadcast as appropriate. Actually, very amateruish in a way. The trained eye can see these oddities and contradictions.

Just watched NHK news who gave brief video of his son walking along side the casket...and a couple shots of the “mourners” which looked like what I had expected.

Hard to believe they had “practiced mourning”.. but would make perfect sense considering actors were also hired to display their talent. Golly! How can one even define this nonsense! and the great lengths they go to to retain this degree of power over the people.

I read an article about the Holocaust and the question was raised why if so few soldiers, and so many people, didn't they revolt against the them. Apparently one can be so humiliated and broken down that there simply isn't anything left to revolt. Of course fear does come into play as does many other “mental” issues....still an entire nation in N. Korea!

I remember well when I first began investigating the country and it's people....couldn't understand it then...and even now it remains difficult to wrap ones head around even with all the explanations of why this is so. P.S. Loved the fact it was snowing there! No bright lights to further the myth stories sure to come out...I suspect they'll invent something about a Snow Fairy or some such who carries Kim to neverland somewhere.
