North Korea Brainwashing

Brad sez:

I recently had the opportunity to watch a great documentary from National Geographic called 'North Korea Undercover'. It debuted in the US months ago and is just now being shown on National Geographic's UK channel.

The NatGeo production team followed a Nepalese eye surgeon with hidden cameras as he operated on 1,000 people with cataracts in 10 days. They had the opportunity to see the hidden side of a country few ever see.

The most incredible part of the documentary was how the North Koreans are so brainwashed into believing and loving their communist government. In the last ten minutes, you see all these North Koreans with eye patches on in one room. Immediately after regaining their sight, rather than thanking the doctor, people started crying and bowing and giving thanks in front of pictures of the Dear Leader Kim Jong Il (shown above) and his father, Kim Il Sung as hundreds clapped and cheered in unison.

It was absolutely incredible how North Korea has become such a sad state where no one trust another and believe they exist for one person. Another documentary I saw recently showed North Koreans in their homes where each and every person has a speaker that pipes in daily propaganda that teaches every one that Kim Jong Il is the beloved.

I never saw such an extreme personality cult before. You feel so sorry for the North Koreans. The one thing that shocked me the most was the North Koreans hatred of the United States. Hopefully, one day the people can be freed and the country can prosper and be reunified into one Korean nation.

But you certainly can't believe after watching this video that all these people believe what they're saying. Even sadder, you feel these people are so afraid of each other that they just repeat what the government wants to hear like robots because they fear everyone around them.

The documentary said it best: "After generations of absolute rule and complete indoctrination, perhaps there is very little difference between faith and fear (in North Korea)."

After seeing this documentary, I have just one thing to say...don't ever under-estimate the power of propaganda.
