[@stanleymeyer9936]

Juliani was at the twin towers on 9-11 and he was told to move out of the way before they demolished the buildings and yes the buildings were pulled as soon as he was out of the way. Juliani was also the one mayor that could not allow demolishing the twin towers after numerous lobby to ignore the asbestos but he didn't want to be a sued for allowing demolition of the twin towers while having full knowledge that the buildings were loaded with asbestos (cancer causing) and eas told the only way he would not be sued would be either destroyed by act of god (storm or earthquake) or terrorism. The architect who designed the buildings, made them both earthquake-proof resistant against multiple hits by full size passenger planes, as the architect defended himself after 9-11 that there would be no way the building would have collapsed, because of the way it was designed to sway and bend, which it did in windy situations, but immediately a gag order was placed on him unofficially, in the same way the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) was ordered not to publicly defend themselves and not say anything about the fact the steel used in the buildings were rated to withstand well over twice the heat the airplane fuel could have ever produced. In spite of all knowledge that the buildings were due for demolition or a very expensive billion dollar asbestos clean-up, one of the chosen people, Larry Silverstein (Juliani's buddy), leased the buildings for ninety-nine years, knowing well he could not nake money on the deal, unless he was in on it with the Feds (israeli demolition team) where he would insure the buildings against terrorism by plane crashing into the buildings, knew in advance he would make money on the deal, some of which probably donated to Israel as Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg do with their excess money, was well prepared to make billions of dollars with confidence by Juliani from the deal by ensuring the buildings against terrorism by plane crash, and in return Silverstein would sign on the dotted lines everytime he was to do a favor for Pentagon. The 9-11 commission ruled in favor of Larry Silverstein and the insurance companies could not use "inside-job" as probable cause by the fear from Pentagon, they had to pay and they paid double, as court ruled in favor of Silverstein that two separate attacks and not just one single attack, Larry cashed in billions of dollars on a 90 million dollar investment. This is not ever talked about in the media, just as the 4000 Jews who didn't show up to work on that day, not a single Jew called up a TV station report an upcoming emergency at the twin towers, to let everyone know it isn't safe to go to the twin towers. And that's not to ignore the 5 Israeli men who danced ad they witnessed the first plane hit the tower as they had obviously prepared with a telescopic lens camera. This celebration dance was reported to the Police, they were arrested, bomb related paraphernalia was found, spent no more than 48 hours before they cordially were sent back Israel. That is all part of what Juliani was involved in, is what no body in US Government has the guts to discuss. When Bill Clinton was asked by an average citizen in a TV broadcast forum, if he thought the 9-11 was an inside-job, ge strongly denied it by saying, "Shame on You," with that southern accent. One other time Bill Clinton said those words, was to Jerry Brown at the end of their debate, when Jerry said to Bill, "you're just one of them," which then Bill Clinton got angry and said, "Shame on You!" With the emphasis on the pronunciation of YOU with that deep-Southern accent which apparently comes out when he feels caught hos tail in a trap. That's how corruption is so prevalent. If Biden can do anything substantial with all these corrupt parasites around him, it would be a miracle. Coming soon, "Trump TV, sponsored by FOX and Disney, probably.

The funniest part about Pulgasari is that the monster is a very clear metaphor for revolution. He is created to take back the land from tyrants, which he does by eating iron (which includes swords) to get bigger, but once the land is cleansed of tyrants the movie *continues.* The monster basically becomes a tyrant himself, demanding the farmers feed him their tools in tribute or he'll start wrecking shit. It takes some real balls to make a movie condemning North Korea, for North Korea, while having been kidnapped by North Korea.

Most North Koreans have access to a device with a USB port and as explained by a past North Korean defector, North Koreans need to receive an accurate picture of the West instead of the propaganda pushed by their government. You can help by donating your old used flashdrive to Flashdrives for Freedom and they'll make sure it gets to North Korea.

15:50 Brooklyn nine nine is a better cop show to send to north korea

[@UriaLordOfSearingFlames]

To this day, the fact that the video North Korea 'made' of them firing missiles at the US is just an opening cut scene of Modern Warfare 3 is absolutely hilarious

[@ascetic3312]

No one is going to read this, but those students playing "Take On Me" on accordions were not doing that in N. Korea. They were on a "good will" tour in Europe at the time and the the European guy who recorded it, taught them the song. Frankly, they probably didn't even know what they were playing. The real question is what happened to those kids after they got back home only to find out that the evil Western pop music is frowned upon?

[@jeniferjoseph9200]

Ascetic Walker I hope they liked it at least. It's a great song.

[@ascetic3312]

+Jenifer Joseph Definitely a great song and a great performance. Look for it on KZbin. I saw it when it first appeared. Those kids are marvelous.

[@samuelarminana]

Never heard something so beautiful on the accordion. The band a-ha is actually Norwegian so I think they're ok.

[@thomthom6268]

It has been years since I've listened to Weird Al, this brought a tear to my eye. Hats off you you Al, you are fantastic.

Have you seen him in a great film he made in the 80's called UHF?

[@michael.471]

That Weird Al section was literally perfection

[@MatthewScammell]

Just send Weird Al to North Korea with his accordion, that will sort everything out!

[@CrabTastingMan]

They made it sound like China is unwilling to cooperate because the Sanctions are useless. *No, China is unwilling to cooperate because they are funding all the missile tests, providing strategic resources like oil directly to them through a pipeline...* And few people know, it takes 2 years of saving up to buy a shoddy rusty bicycle in North Korea, so the only people using oil for any motor vehicles are the military. China is NOT helping the North Korean people, in fact, they take in hordes of escapees and put them on secret slave labor, and if their output is too meager, sell them back to North Korea. Any time *China feigns being economically hurt at all by sanctions is done on the hope that dumb Americans would actually believe* North Korea actually trades with China on any meaningful scale, when North Korean economy is smaller than... *Birmingham, Alabama.* Yes, a single small American city with less population than 1% of the entire population of North Korea.

[@elstormcaller]

You alright? He was talking about Weird Al?

[@arturoarambula2814]

I played the button accordion in conjunto style, which is the original music of south Texas (from when it was called north Mexico). I always thought that it was way more complicated than the keyboard accordion until I saw al play with both hands it's amazing.

[@TetaCilka-el5wh]

7:00 wow im so amazed me coming from Slovenia where we reallly love the accordion like really , i didnt expect north korea to love it to

[@aramisesquilin3187]

Did not expect Weird Al to show up XD

[@deidara6488]

The moment he started talking about acordions at the end I started going "Please be Weird Al, Please be Weird Al, ..."

[@johnnyrasputin4819]

I knew as soon as he mentioned Weird Al... He always partially reveals his end surprise somewhere in the middle of the show.

[@tiffyw92]

The true war crime is that more than 3000 people who watched this video still disliked it despite Weird Al.

[@CKing97]

RIGHT?!

[@MattCraftDotDerp]

You think that was surprising? I don't think I've heard the name "Taylor Hicks" in years, and I fucking live in Alabama.

[@StormysStuff]

I would totally watch Earlier Times But Now with Spance Mörgendörffer

[@earthwormjimjones]

[@CrossfacePanda]

Props to John for pronouncing the Ö properly.

[@bimmjim]

You can take your *umlauts* and go fuck yourself. . Now, I would like to tell you how much I hate Ducks.

[@CrossfacePanda]

bimmjim Is this is reference or something? Because if so it flew way over my head. And technically it's called a Trema; an Umlaut is also a Trema, of course, but a Trema doesn't have to be an Umlaut. It depends on how it is used, as different languages use it in different ways. So calling all dots above letters Umlauts is a bit of a misnomer. The more you know 🎶🌈

[@VoodooGMusic]

The reason why you haven't done that is China.

[@bimmjim]

CrossfacePanda - . Du verlierst. Der Name war definitiv deutsch, deshalb war es ein Umlaut.

[@CrossfacePanda]

bimmjim Don't get why you won't write in English when we're all discussing in English here, but sure, the name was pretty German sounding, but more countries than Germany have people with German names, both first and last names. And in countries where we have the letter "ö" for example, its not necessarilly called an umlaut. Educate yourself before speaking; I'd suggest you start by learning to write in English when the conversation calls for it.

[@MetalMilitiaMan87]

Don't know if anyone noticed but the footage of New York burning in the North Korea propaganda film is literally ripped straight from the 1st campaign mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 where the Russian military attacks New York which is hilarious.

[@PatrenPatren]

Yep Most probably from 14:34 to 14:43 OR 18:06 to 18:33 of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/lavFhZJoZa1gZsk "Hunter Killer" campaign stage

@@PatrenPatren The planes at 14:36 line up exactly with 18:29 in the video you linked. They did slow the footage down slightly.

[@raghavpareek2546]

i don't get it, how did they exactly smuggle the game inside the country to make a propaganda video with it??

[@kindlin]

@@raghavpareek2546 While I'm not a conspiracy nut, at all, I'm not naive enough to think the government, our government (all governments) don't do things we don't know about. Just because Kim Jung vocally bans everything from the west, doesn't mean he won't make use of any or all of it to better implement his personal views.

Weird Al Yankovic just comes to the studio and does a litle comedy bit. I love how he still makes time for little things like this. He always stayed so humble... :)

[@chickadee677]

Notice how the band is reading the music? In an interview Al said that he was at his home in Maui with his wife and daughter when Oliver called. They asked him to fly to NY to sing the song they were going to write. They couldn't do it, so he wrote this and all of the parts for the band and then flew 11 hours and filmed this after one rehearsal. Love this guy.

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

@@chickadee677 Weird Al is a man of supreme talent, and a national treasure! To be fair, nearly all Polka music is... shall we say, "similar"... but still, writing it all out personally is no easy feat.
