I wonder, if that young lady put the oil with the poisonous nerve agent on her hands, how come she did not die? In the video it looks like she (and maybe that other young lady, that is not clear) rubbed that oil on Kim Jong Nam's face standing behind him, and about 20 minutes later he died.

Did anyone notice @ 21:50 when one girl was not crying and cheering for Kim Jong Un while the rest of the kids were? He noticed and approached this little girl and even sat beside her. Genuinely worried for her and family. when North Koreans clap for their leader, they’re not clapping because they like him, or support him. They’re clapping for their lives.

[@Nehafariaa]

That’s concerning. Thanks for pointing it out 👏🏽

[@karima_MK]

I don"t think she has fear. She is maybe so brainwashed that she believes to have a living god in front of her. Approaching him is the most cherished desire of north Koreans, as kids there are not aware of the outside world and life style. The personality cult is obvious for us, not for them.

[@sheriffcharliepanda8613]

I'll always remember a interview with a ex North Korean army soldier. When he came to the U.S. and went to a grocery store he couldn't believe it he thought it had to be propaganda. Then he had them stop at another random store. He cried saying it was real because there's no way of guessing he whould stop twice. He was just in awe. Very sad tbh.

[@Helfirehydratrans]

It's also hard to get a non-biased look into North Korea because of their media censorship and their strict guidelines on who is allowed to be let in

[@condorX2]

Same here. I learned a few things. When i saw the news by those so call western medias, it only show the killing part. They never mention about the CIA regime change part. If you think about it, the CIA was responsible for Kim half brother death. I got curious and look up famous operations by the CIA. It seem they're well known for putting ruthless dictators on the throne. The most infamous episodes include the ousting of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 - whose government was replaced by an authoritarian monarchy favorable to Washington - the removal and assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba in 1961, and the violent toppling of socialist Chilean President Salvador Allende, whose government was swept aside in 1973 by a military coup led by the ruthless Gen. Augusto Pinochet. (American dad made a episode on this one with the dancing dictator?) CIA involvement in coup 1965 is one great example on how the west took sides by supplying weapons, made propaganda and indirectly killed more than 3 million innocent lives. Their strategy is based on "divide and conquer". This document was declassified by CIA because many activists around the globe condemn the war crimes of US and their allies. Not only that, CIA overthrew the legit president of indonesia and replaced it with a corrupt Suharto who supported the US. That's how US mining company 'freeport' got hold of indonesian biggest gold mine. In 1954, Washington unseated Guatemala's left-wing president, Jacobo Arbenz, who had had the temerity to challenge the vast control of the United Fruit Co., a U.S. corporation, with agrarian laws that would be fairer to Guatemalan farmers. The CIA went on to install and back a series of right-wing dictatorships that brutalized the impoverished nation for almost half a century. CIA always worked with NED. (National Endowment for Democracy). They always try to destabilize any country with different ideology. All started way back after the end of world war 2, the cold war started. US sees other ideology as dangerous and feel the need to bring democracy to all countries, so in other words, every US presidents starting from harry s truman are all involved. Believing democracy as a perfect system that all countries MUST adopt. This made US act aggressively and invade nations with different ideology, creating wars and chaos around the globe. --F Liu
