Exposing North Korea's Diabolical Atrocities

North Korea is not your typical communist state. It strangely includes racial and social prejudice in how its society is formed, and what's more, includes the unborn in its classification system, called “Songbun.”

Though there are literally dozens of classifications within North Korean, there are three basic categories: “Core,” “Wavering,” and “Hostile.”

People in the “Core” category are desencdants of those who fought against the Japanese from 1910-45, people whose family were workers, peasants or laborers when North Korea became a country, and high-ranking party members and their families, almost all of whom had ancestors from the groups just mentioned.

The “Wavering” group are the bulk of the North Korean population, who are watched not only by the secret police, but by each other, and have their files and lives investigated every two years.
The last group are those who are descended from former landowners – considered to have taken advantage of the working classes for centuries, and criminals. Those who break the law, and this includes people who try to flee the DPRK, have tainted their descendants for at least three generations – and there is virtually nothing they can do about it. One other group often categorized in the “hostile” group are those with Chinese or Japanese blood. As you can see, North Korea bears more resemblance to Hitler's Germany in the value it places on “the blood,” than anyone in North Korea would admit.

As in every system, there are likely exceptions, and it's easy to imagine that someone who performs an unusual act of bravery in the military service is going to be moved up the ladder, but there is so much we don't know about the inner workings about North Korea that it's difficult to say.

This is a reupload because the initial version was demonetized by YouTube. We had to make some minor censorship adjustments.
Correction: Kim Jong Nam fell victim to assassination when a woman, who believed she was participating in a prank show, attacked him with the nerve agent VX.

The doc who fixed all those peoples eyes. I wanna shake his hand. One can't help but think he knew he'd get no recognition but did it anyway. Either way one can tell that doctor loves people and it's beautiful

[flowerchild]

I'm so grateful that I don't live in North Korea!

[wendywatkins]

I saw an interview with a girl who had defected. She explained how they use their own feces to fertilize their crops and they only poop about once a week because they have so little to eat. You can be tortured for not collecting all your poop for the crops. It's inhumane what these people endure daily.

[shutup-gcyk]

You're the first person I've heard mention that Kim Jong Un stays fat on purpose. Thanks for mentioning it, it's an important part of his image as the country's leader and that's a fact everyone overlooks. They think he's just fat because he eats too much but they ignore that, as everything related to the North Korean upper spheres, it carries sociopolitical symbolism important to maintain the myth and personality cult.

[TimBitten]

The fact that the rest of the world has allowed this brutality to exist for so long is a shame on the soul of humanity…

[Skndredd]

Just a note his half brother wasn’t injected with anything. They had two girls who believed they were on a “prank show” rub nerve agent on his face. It’s all on camera.

[markhicks]

I saw that segment of the doctor doing eye surgeries, one lady who worked in the salt mines thanked the supreme leader and was in tears saying that she would work even harder to produce more to give thanks to the supreme leader.

Imagine a whole country suffering from psychosis, what a nightmare.

[robertcampbell]

I feel so bad for the innocent people of North Korea. My prayers are with them and their families.

[Pretermit_Sound]

DPRK has got to be the most misleading name for a country ever.

[bzemitis]

Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t know, and I am horrified!
I can only pray that this is stopped. My love to these beautiful souls ❤🙏🏻

[Fverheijden]

This is an absolute nighmare. I feel really bad for the people living there.

[Rockiii]

@13:10 Kim Song-Ju, who adopted the name of a fabled guerrilla commander, Kim Il-Son, is described as a North Korean. In fact, North Korea did not exist when he was born and, regardless, he was born & raised in Jilin province, China, to where his family had emigrated during the Japanese colonial period. Joseph Stalin brought him to Pyongyang to head the newly formed NK gov after WW2, shocking many veteran Korean insurgents as his first language was Chinese & he spoke Korean poorly.

[dreinhard]

It is so sad how there is so little outrage about the treatment of the people of North Korea.

[tashacherry]

Making people thank you for something you had no hand in had to be the craziest power hungry thing I've heard. Man is there even a hell hell enough for someone like this? I'm sure there is.

[keithroberts]

Give's a whole new meaning to hell on earth, I cant even ìmagine not for minute what its like for ordinary people living in this hell hole of a country? In contrast to South Korea, Living in constant fear and oppression, If there is a god help these poor people!!🥺☠️🙏🙏🙏

[williamvillagomez]

This world is a place of cruelty. I pray for a change of heart.

[themetalslayer]

technically the Korean war is still on because it's only a ceasefire, no peace treaty have been signed so it's one of the longest war ever, and still occurs since 73 years

[ydelysuarez]

I don’t know which of the Three were worst, the Grandfather, the Son or the grandson. Evil family.
