This is what the N.Koreans now see of the world they have not seen before. Of course this was to depict their leader in a favorable light for this historic summit. as do we our President. But in my opinion we had a lot to do with putting this together, music and other evidences so. They simply agreed to it. It's a worthy watch if you imagine yourself as a N.Korean. It really is a stunning video.

(I tune down the narriator for obvious reasons)

Because our media not only opposes this administration....but they still have their faces in their butts over Hillarys loss... and she’s responsible for that by staying on stage and encouraging it for over a year. She has damaged the minds of what might otherwise been supportive people or at the very least tolerable as we were with Obama.

Yes, showing the people of Singapore smiling, taking pictures with their cell phones, clapping even, and welcoming the NK leader. I bet this shocks the N. Korean citizens.

They will blame it on Kims father who told them the rest of the world was in worse condition then they were. And most of the nKorean are not starving...though many just getting by...they are ready to move forward as Kim had been improving their lifestyles for a few years now. He allowed the black markets to function so the people could at least eat and trade the basics....and as some progressed so did their lifestyles.

The sanctions shut down everything pretty fast and hard....and that is primarily why Kim folded his hand. He could go no further....but to get the generals and oldsters to do likewise were the ‘barriers’ preventing the talks of this past year from progressing. As we now know those people were finally eliminated.

Yes I noticed the Love is Blue.

So odd.

The end is same ol worship type stuff. Weird.

I can see why one might say, “see, this just shows how the meeting simply gave Kim a propaganda opportunity”, but I think that’s superficial.

The Auto-Translate made for the funniest viewing I have had all year.

Plus, at 18:15 or so you hear the Red River Valley melody co-opted.

The melody is so Stephen Fosterish I thought it must be in the public domain.

But no:

Songwriters: FRANK MILLS

But yes:

Wikipedia says it is a cowboy folk standard of unknown origin. The lyrics vary from cover to cover, that's probably why Frank Mills is listed as the 'Songwriter'

Of course China was involved and they’ve been involved in the negotiations from day one. Success means NK could become another Hong Kong for them, instead of a drain on their own economy.

I’ve held a similar theory/hunch about Kim and his movements towards this day. I suspect some of the ugly things that have happened, like Otto, are not connected to Kim, but just the machinations of the NK system doing what it’s done for generations.

Meanwhile Kim’s been killing and clearing out threats to his leadership. The only hole in this theory is the killing of his half brother, who by all accounts wanted nothing to do with NK or it’s politics. That one stumps me.

Final analysis is that I think Kim wants to transform NK into a future SK-like state.

Kim having been educated in a western country, I have always suspected this to be the case. It has taken him this long to get this going. Trump was the final Catalyst.

It would be so interesting if at some future time, Kim would consent to a tell-all under promise of amnesty. Where was Kim when the Otto Warmbier travesty was going down? Did he have qualms but also fear to disturb the status quo? The mindset of one in that prison state might be one that would throw the mind any free Westerner for an utter loop. Even Kim is in kind of a prison, in that the only honor he knew (until Donald Trump) came from North Korea.

If this works, then the negative nattering nabobs will turn around to saying oh, North Korea was going to open up anyhow, and expend barrels of ink on talking that point, and give a bare pass to Donald Trump. One can’t really win a tails-you-lose heads-i-win game. But Donald was placed for this purpose at this time.

Hopefully it doesn’t shock the Koreans too much which is why it was put together with the music etc as calming as it was. I believe the younger people will be really curious about what is to come of this..........the oldsters will be confused no doubt and hurt for the great sacrifices and suffering they’ve endured under Kims father.

Kim IL was a horrible brutal sadistic leader.as were the leadership under him. He wouldn’t even touch his own people. Was afraid of flying so he never did. Allowed millions to starve while thanking them for doing so for the regime...... And many do not know he had a serious stammer so he never spoke in public.

Emotions are going to run high for the people in N.Korea who lost so many during the 90’s famine...they had floods, bad crops and we were blamed for causing their hardship. Of course Kim Ill prevented the food from getting to the people...it was a horrible time of suffering.

So there’s going to be a lot of mixed feelings and thoughts.

Otto Warmbier is of the past now. It was a terrible event and I think we’ve heard all we’re going to as to what happened. Trump is taking the right position...that it’s because of his death this whole thing to negotiate began, that his death was not in vain.....and let it rest at that. The family has.

May be that was a message to Kim that even if he thinks he can escape they will still get to him.

I do believe that Kim saw Trump as the only one he could deal with....it was a smart move on Kims part to align with Trump and China not one or the other. Somehow Trump got through to Xi what ‘other’ options could work better than the same old past failures. And China was ready for a solution.

In my personal opinion God did a remarkable work in positioning all parties and this by the influence of his good spirit on their hearts and minds and the good work of those willing to do what had to be done.

It was an absolute pleasure to bring it here because I believe this is going to be a go and despite the bumps in the road ahead all the parties are eager to get it done. The unreasonable will simply be pushed aside if they can’t keep moving forward.
