Kim's Cash Flow: The Brutal Money System of North Korea | Bureau 39 | ENDEVR Documentary
How is it possible that North Korea, one of the poorest countries on earth finances a nuclear weapons programme large enough to challenge the USA? The answer: Bureau 39, a legendary organization nestled deep inside the government apparatus. Its aim is to procure foreign exchange by any means possible to provide Kim Jong-un’s regime with money.
Printing dollars, dealing drugs, smuggling arms, insurance fraud, human trafficking - nothing is too unscrupulous for North Korea’s money makers.
Years of research have given us unique access to insiders. They reveal the most spectacular cases and breath-taking tricks of how North Korea has been circumventing UN sanctions to finance its nuclear arsenal for decades.

Like a wise man said all sucesfull societies are dictarorships, but the lasting ones give illusions of democracy and freedom. Thers also the military aspect fact that north korea threatens the world whit nukes and is an active threat to south korea and japan while USA acts as a stabilizing force maintaining current status quo, that enables europe, USA, japan, Australia and so forth to live in relative comfort, knowing that states military power maintains stability of the world we live in and while its not the most inclusive equlirium as an european who enjoys the perks of it, id rather not see anyone rock the boat consequences being on show whit current ukraine crisis and its fallout.

I just do NOT GET how you & so MANY OTHERS have MISSED the producers' LACK OF CARING for the SAFETY of those who so *generously agreed* to be a part of this doco. so, really, you, too, are not only breaking my heart as a random viewer but you're *also* supporting the lack of caring of this channel's lackadaisical attitude re: the SAFETY of their interviewees. you're supporting their lack of caring about the safety of far too many of this documentary's participants. why are you like this?? WHY are you so MUCH like THEM??

[@JerryListener]

Do you need a moment? If everyone stays safe and quiet, the brutality and lack of freedoms will never end. If enough people have had enough, change will be enacted. Without change the abuse continues. I'd do what many others have done before and spread the message, not hide like a scared little mouse. Maybe that's how your government keeps you under control, but not me or others like me. Risk happens before you wake up and continues while you slumber.

[@PureVikingPowers]

China is North Korea’s most important trading partner, China has helped sustain Kim’s regime much more than all other countries combined because it's China’s primary interest is to prevent a regime collapse & support for North Korea ensures a buffer between China & South Korea, which has around 29,000 U.S. troops.

Before mainland China was formally opened up to doing business with the outside world, back in 1972, many products bought in the USA said, “Made in Hong Kong”. They were probably made in China. The USA is probably buying products made in North Korea, one way or another, in the same manner.

[@radusnyder4341]

Yessir, which is why I stress to people always - boycotting China goods is not Sinophobic/racist, as it is not done to spite the citizens, but the evil of the gov there. Buying Chinese is basically funding the bullets they would shoot us with. Example, I buy high-end tools, and I have no problem w/ Asian made, my Taiwanese and Japanese (free countres) tools are great, so are my Swiss, French, and American ones, so it is not a "Western only" thing.

[@TheSmartLawyer]

@CPM-2cr12mov i am a huge proponent of buying US goods whenever possible and never buying Asian goods. None of it. The South Koreans smuggle North Korean made goods as do the Chinese. I'm not so sure about the Japanese, but they don't recirprocate with our trade imbalance

There’s alot worse going on around this planet 🌎

[@TwinsBigLikeTia]

You three replying just to pick on this person being rightfully appalled by these human rights violations are just sad, angry people that enjoy the pain of others. You’re free and your life still sucks that much? Looks like you all failed at making something of yourselves 🥺

[@YouTuber-mx6xy]

You would be more appalled if you knew what merikkka was doing but you don't care about that

[@svenevans4983]

The question in my mind is how long is such a situation tenable or feasible before social revolt,uprising and capitulation of oppressive regime.

[@hzhang1228]

the quality of life is steadily increasing even if they are poor. you have to look at where they started. an "oppressive" regime is actually more stable than a more free form of government, which the reason they pop up during times of chaos and instability. if they were to end it would be the will of other nations. that is the reality unless you believe in some form ideological version of the world. in reality for people to revolt they would have to be on the brink of death with nothing to lose, and starvation is old news for N Korea. this is why they will be relentless in their pursuit of nuclear arms as the US showed what would happen if they did not, although ofc N Korea sits at a more geopolitically better position.

Hundreds of years. See the history of feudalism in Europe. It's basically the same practice. The only real chance at breaking it is somehow getting a critical mass of uncensored internet to the people without getting them killed in the process.

[@pedrob3953]

It didn't happen in the 90's, the time of massive famine, so it's less likely now. North Korea is an efficient repressive machine. As long as it manages to guarantee funding, and the geopolitics doesn't change, it's going to be this way in the future.

[@krzysztofkwietniewski9100]

Foundations of *capitalism* by Adam Smith are: - Freedom to start a business - Voluntary trade - Anti monopoly laws Explain how that relates to N Korea

[@W_Bin]

That's regulated capitalism. Korea, Russia and China are like Industrial Revolution west. It's called neo-liberal capitalism. There is no protections or regulation. Western people revolted and demanded democracy and protections (regulation).

[@user-km6wm4et1x]

It's capitalism reinvented, dear. It's the underbelly of the beast.

[@Arjun-eb1yc]

Ya within the first few seconds of this documentary they make you facepalm.

[@001SP1]

it's shocking. Thank you for the documentary

[@ENDEVRDocs]

You’re very welcome

[@BucketHeadianHagg]

*I absolutely love your work on this channel* Thank you for this upload today. Love, from Las Vegas!

[@ialokinvossanata3743]

Communist Bulgaria at the time did something similar. Trained workers and specialists worked in the 70s and 80s in Arab and some developing countries and got some 20% of their wages (paid in hard currency, usually USD). The rest (80%) went to the state.

[@YouTuber-mx6xy]

Wrong 😂

[@YouTuber-mx6xy]

but it's happening in merikkka today

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2560">42:40</a> Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Jupyter lab/notebook, cool to see how much of a diverse range of subjects utilize data analysis tools.

[@caramelcoffees]

fantastic journalism

[@NyanyiC]

You must give it to them - they are very creative!

[@TheSmartLawyer]

In a nefarious way

[@samking4179]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1631">27:11</a> ... "born in the 1990s ... he was responsible for exports." sort of pointless to hide his face and name when you give those two bits of info away. I am sure they know who he is and where he is.

[@TheSmartLawyer]

Could be multiple defectors and the face was changed by surgery.... so he can hide

[@mechanic7417]

Love fountain pens pretty rare seeing someone use one

[@galarid1]

How would you get this footage across town border??

[@jaynewton5278]

It's such a wonderful country that the home masses are escaping it. When was the last time you bought something fm Korea.

[@marley9904]

Nah

[@danfarrand9072]

There was a time when I would have accepted the logic of sanctions against N Korea. But now it seems clear that the purpose of those sanctions are to damage N Korea and I am not able to understand how that is different from an act of war against N. Korea.

[@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw]

China backs North Korea, we declare war on North Korea and we’re in WWIII with China. 🇺🇸

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Because in theory you sanction them from trade and eventually they’re forced to negotiate since without trade as a nation you have no money. And if that happens you avoid a true war abs death and accomplish your end goal. Obviously it can be futile if outside parties ignore the sanctions and trade with them anyways.

[@pedrob3953]

Exactly. That's the way they see it. That's why the official in 21:35 says, they do whatever it takes to break the sanctions and never budge to the enemy.

[@JaysonBernardo-ch9fv]

​@@Matt-cr4vvyea but the leadership in North Korea has proved they'd watch people starve to death before they budge

[@kro235]

Amazing documentary

[@jasongreen6842]
