Lol... no. Honestly, I read about an island somewhere, perhaps off the coast of India / Sri Lanka that has pretty much never been explored by outsiders. Missionaries tried to bring religion and civilisation to them and are never seen again. About 10 or 15 years ago a cargo ship got wrecked on their reef and they needed to be evacuated by helicopter as the natives were getting into their rafts to try and attack. No BS.

North Koreans are insulated from reality. They are taught and know what the government wants them to believe, and it's believed to be fact. They see their leader as a God like figure, as like his father before him.

I referenced a book about North Korea earlier. It's a bloody eye opener! The scary thing is that its factual. As an outsider to the regime we can ask how are people so brain washed? So stupid? So naive?

Funny, in the past the world was flat, the sun revolved around the earth, we were the centre if the universe etc. These beliefs were fact and only a nutter would dare think otherwise! People weren't stupid, they just didn't know any better and were probably taught that by infallable, learnered people.

Funny story none the less!

They have had decades of brain washing / conditioning from their government. Stupid is the wrong word, most just don't know the truth, only the world around them as taught by the government stooges and propaganda machines.

Most will believe this news report and see it as a great victory orchestrated by the great Marshal.

Pity the North Koreans if anything.

Read 'Nothing to Envy'... an eye opening recount of life in the north from people who managed to get out alive.
The rest of the world has been subjected to conditioning and brainwashing for the past several hundred years, just far more subtle and far more effective...

No no no I understand that in Nth Korea they probably believe it, I more meant that some members here didn't realise that this thread is in jest and that we are all having a harmless joke about it.

Its like parents that isolate their kids from the rest of the world and completely brain wash them. Difference here is that family has 25 million members, and Papa is always right.

Justified propoganda eh mate?

Best way to permeate propoganda is to convince the gullible, nationalistic and quasi intellectuals in Australia and the US that the common foe is bordering on ativism and completely not deserving of any civilized justice and should just be disposed of as garbage. Demonize them, say they eat their babies etc and watch the fervent gullible cheer on to a military intervention...maybe steal all their oil etc while we are there eh?

Good way to maybe justify carpet bombing the joint or sending remote controlled drones to kill them all...cause they couldn't possibly be human.

Next time you drop in to see old Kim, just ask him if he meant Tsun and not Sun? We imperial invaders need clarification for the UN.

Wonder if the solarnaut was almost as good at golf as the previous leader/despot.....what was it he got with his first and only ever 18 holes?....28 or something?? Sworn as true by his minder thugs.
Also hope this dude had a good brand of sunglasses and really high factor sun block.

funny how you use Propoganda and permeate together and then use gullible and australia.

Permeate is milk but they take it out of milk and instead of putting it back inth emilk they convince many its a good thing, probably not a bad thing but then charge more for less and get away with it is funny. Like convincing the people you landed on the sun.
Seems propoganda is all persuasive to all humans despite political regime, skin colour or gender.

Unreal...

I can't believe they sent a man to the surface of the sun!
I thought he would burn because it's 100 degrees there.
Did he get out of his rocket ship and tip toe through the 2000km flames?
