@@vishnupriyakodoth8884 It's shit. They show neutral images, but the narration on top of it makes it seem like something bad is going on when nothing bad is actually going on. It's so ridiculous. Ulrich is only serving American Imperialism & Colonialism and is probably getting paid by the CIA to spread his disinformation about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
I am ashamed to share a nationality with this man. His story is told through a biased and false narrative. The purpose of his story is to serve American Imperialism & Colonialism. The American Regime wants to colonise all of Asia. South Korea is but a colony/satellite state of the US. The anti-colonialists say: "USA OUT OF KOREA" and "Stop provoking the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with countless military exercises pretending to carry out a full-on invasion of a democratic nation just because they aren't controlled by the white house".
I'm glad is ISN'T, because his story is nothing but disinformation serving the American Imperial & Colonial Agenda (in other words, it's anti-DPRK propaganda). It's called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for a reason. Because it's Democratic. The US hates other democracies because the people can vote to not support American Imperialism. The US prefers dictators who oppress the people and send money to the US, like in South Korea where the elections are constantly rigged to favour a pro-USA leader.
This guy is the DEFINITION of brave & unflappable!! Truly amazing - what a life! Thank you for what you did for the North Korean people. God only knows we could use 10,000 more like you ❤
He did a great DISSERVICE to the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, since he made the democratic people's republic seem like a place the US should invade and install their evil Imperialism in, like they did in the poor colonised South Korea. We need this man silenced before he convinces the rest of the world that it's ok for America to invade the democratic people and enslave them under American Imperialism! Malcom X once said: "If you're not careful, the [media] will have you hating the [Korean] people who are being oppressed [by America], and loving the [American] people who are doing the oppressing." Don't forget how America made up lies to invade Iraq. They're doing the same thing to justify colonising Asia, and they already took the Phillippines, Japan and South Korea, and they don't seem to be stopping, and they keep releasing propaganda to brainwash to people once again like they did when they wanted to invade Iraq.
This story touches me very much... there are not many people on this earth, who follow their idealistic ideas so consistently and (in this case admittedly pretty crazy 😅) plans, who sacrifice such a big part of their life like Larsen did... I wish him and his family all the best. Stay safe and healthy! And props to the host for the detailed and interesting questions!
He's lying. These guys are being paid to spread propaganda against NK. Take a look at all of the North Korean "defectors". They're all "Americanized" and everything they talk about is utter nonsense. Lol.
Thank You Ulrich Larsen for your amazing courage. Documentary was recently shown in Finland. First I had my doubts about authenticity in the documentary. Lately I've started to investigate institutional, governmental and corporational corruption in global scale. This documentary was an important addition though it's all quite depressing to realize how this world is functioning. Doubts about the documentary faded out as did the naivistic belief in goodness of humankind. Greediness seems to be endless battle.
Well said! I watched the movie with my father and at first we just couldnt believe what we saw. Im also from finland and viewed the documentary on MT3👍
All you have to do is watch what’s happening in America’s government, right now, to know just how deep the corruption is, and just how global the reach is. It’s astonishing, and terrifying.
Wow. Mr Larsen is freaking amazing. I’m going to have to listen to this over again, it’s just so much information. I’m so intrigued by the whole North Korea topic. It’s like hearing about life on another planet. So freaking strange and sad.
The only sad thing about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is that the United States of America is oppressing them with sanctions. The DPRK is ruled by the people, unlike South Korea which is ruled by the white house. And America is ruled by the rich who want to get richer by colonising and enslaving the whole world under what's called Imperialism. Everything you hear about "North Korea" is propaganda. They're target of propaganda because they said "No" to being enslaved under American Imperialism. America wants to colonise them so bad and get closer to the rest of Asia, which they also want to colonise so bad. American Imperialism already occupies the Phillippines, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. They want the DPRK and they want China too. Everything you hear is propaganda to justify a full-on invasion of Asia. Be critical of what you hear and consider what the interests are of those who spread propaganda and misinformation.
I watched *The Mole documentary* recently and it was a real eye opener. Those guys had huge balls of steel because if they had got caught then they would have disappeared without a trace.
Thank you Ulrich!! For 10 years of your life, for exposing these evil people. “For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.” Mark 4:22
Mark, at 4:22 in the Christian Testaments, is mistaken. Unless by _revealed_ you mean at the the end of time. There is no end to the secrets that people keep, and that humans have not yet uncovered from nature.
Holy Mole!!! I seriously doubt that people living in democracies or any person with reasonable freedom can wrap their head around the whole experience Ulrich had. I hate that it is how the world is and I admire him so much for doing this work. He did not have to do anything. Just WOW!
One important correction, at 1:26:58, the Koreans are not talking about ISIS as a client, they're saying that since ISIS is gone the Syrian government won't buy as much weapons(to fight Isis), they've always been on Syria's side since the start of the civil war and before ISIS came into play.
Really very many thanks for the interview, and to Ulrich. I very much appreciate the host's doing through research, asking humanly insightful questions, and adding a structure to it that helps audiences make sense of this big 'adventure'. While i don't want to criticize other interviewers, it was greatly relieving that the host delved i to the depth, and very humanly relevant questions, rather than do a surperficial interview with a spectacle oriented focus, leaving an empty feeling and rendition of the great work. Many many thanks. This was like an oasis of depth and good care, in a desert otherwise too full of light spectacle ;)
This guy is crazy and brave just like that south Korean teacher who went undercover the only difference is he was taken more serious than her people tried to publish her story as a memoir which is inaccurate. I respect him especially the amount of pressure and danger he was in many people in the past who were kidnapped by Kim Jong il when they were returned home to their country majority was so afraid to even speak on anything they witnessed and never spoke yet he made a movie and upped the security of his country. I just hope he never gets caught in the future because he exposed them I would never ever visit this horrendous place knowing they are suspicious of anyone who visiting. Wow I hope he lives live his life great. Bless him.
Great interview and info. IMHO no secret services come to visit him because they already know (all of it). I see no other options. Courageous man and fascinating story. Lovely use of humor and great acting.
I have zero respect for a dude who spreads misinformation and American Imperial Propaganda in order to justify invading a democratic people who do not wish to be enslaved by American Imperialism.
1:47:13 i would say that if North Korea every opens up, the west should allow the North Koreans to lead their own progress rather than imposing western ideals on them which only makes people even more confused culturally and economically. Such a fascinating interview-thank you!
Why? Citizens and workers are literally the ones who control the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The people are in charge, so they have nothing to fear but American soldiers and politicians.
I can actually see, the love around this man...he is so brave, but my feeling is, he doesn't think so, he just done what he believes is right. Why can't Jean Grey be real, imagine walking into north Korea with her powers, and it still wouldn't be as brave as Ulrich 💞🐨🇦🇺🦘 thank you for sharing this you to a good and brave man 🥲.
I started to watch this interview and thought, wow this is so interesting I have to watch further. And I didn't even know it's about one of the craziest documentaries out there.
Inchon, Korea 1950. I was the best cook Uncle Sam ever saw, slinging hash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply lines were getting thin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six hundred pounds of prime Texas steer. At least it once was prime. The Use date was three weeks past, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just the right spices, cooked it long enough...I went too far. I over seasoned it. Men were keeling over all around me. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen of my own men to the latrines that night. They were just boys. Bobby Colby all that kid wanted to do was go home. Well he went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of a cutlet. Had to sit him on a cork the eighteen-hour flight home! Anyway....we delivered the bomb and I'll never touch a spatula again!!
I watched a film Under The Sun. A lot of things stuck out or seemed so UNreality like to me. However 3 things I just can’t let go. They pop in my head often. 1. Most of the time when you go somewhere with children that are Uber trained and ridiculously, unbelievably quiet, if they have the chance to be loud, the kids are on it. You don’t have to tell twice bc they so exited that they can be loud. Those children were so uncomfortable with the idea of being loud. WoW! 2. The changing of the parents’ jobs. Like WTF! Why? I’m so confused 3. About an hour in when Army dude talking to kids and the one child is falling asleep, the girl struggling through dance and unable to get steps right, & when she was so sad and crying at the end of the movie… I was so worried for that child and the rest of that family. It seems like that could be seen as disrespectful and I was concerned for their punishment. I greatly appreciate films showing the regular folks. Too often I think outsiders think the NoK’s are ACTUALLY happy and are somewhat aware of the outside world, like the Amish. They THINK they’re choosing to stay and THINK it’s worse in other countries. Most of them don’t even realize that they’re oppressed.
Might i also add, mr James has balls like king kong!. He played the role really well and god only knows how he and ulrich didnt manage to shit themselves is beyond me.
One of the most perplexing things about The Mole documentary is how Ulrich Larsen could enter the Danish KFA and rise to the position of KFA delegate for the Scandinavian countries without anyone doubting his sincerity and commitment even though he is an anti communist who hates the DPRK regime and supports sanctions. I cannot imagine spending ten years presenting a false front that is totally at variance with my true self without anyone becoming suspicious. Either Ulrich Larsen is a master of dissimulation or else the Danish KFA and Alejandro Cao de Benós lack the vigilance one would expect for an organization connected to North Korea. There is an interesting article published by Quora titled "Hypothetical Spying Scenarios: What are good ways to identify a mole in an organization who is feeding sensitive information to the competition?" that deals with this scenario.
@@Angelface11I have to disagree, the saying 'takes one to know one comes to mind' I just think it shows they all have their own agenda as to why they are mixed up with friends of North Korea, they just read his agenda wrongly, matching it to their own self serving one ,hope that makes sense
After watching the two part doco on bbc iplayer, one of the things that stuck out to me in the first episode, was when Alejandro Cao de Benós was discussing with Ulrich about some of the 'products' that North Korea had made in the past for different factions and countries....one of them being methanphetamine for Nato......or did I mishear that? Has that even been investigated?
Ulrich and James' actions are good and served to expose major wrongdoings on the part of North Korea and other parties involved. But 10 years, I can't imagine how nerve-wracking this whole thing can be. James was also so over the top and confident that I think it would be impossible to tell he was just being a conman/mole, because no one would expect a mole to act like that. Same with Ulrich and his unassuming personality. I'm left wondering what happened to the north korean deal brokers, maybe they were punished for this? They did a terrible job of verifying James after all. Did they have much choice in assuming their roles? For the other parties involved, especially the ugandian officials, there is no excuse possible. In any case the documentary raises very tough moral questions.
It's insane to me that the North Koreans bought his story. A retired cook from Denmark, loves NK, happens to know a millionaire/billionaire/super rich organized crime guy well enough to bring him to NK to do all that the North Koreans only can dream about? And his name is "Mr. James" (as in James Bond?). If you know that it was a sting and think about it, it's absolutely wild.
Hahaha "The DPRK is amazing and the perfect example of what life should be!" "Hey, you can move here! You're more than welcome!" "Yeah... I'd rather not..." Hilarious.
You know NKorea is always watching so this guys confessions will make it much tougher on the next person going there.The obvious question was already asked and WHY because everyone already knows how corrupt NKorea is just by the fact they let very few people leave unless your going to a work force.
God bless you and your video.. Thanks again for your courage to tell your truth..And to show how close Putin and Kim like brother..Both mental health issue.. Praise God revoke the Devil for ever amen ☮️🫂🌞
@@JordanHarbingerShow I'm in the states. I'm aware it has been available on BBC as well as Danish and Norwegian television for a while. Not sure about other European countries. I'd have to look into it for those.
I couldn’t finish this interview. The premise of who this guy is, sounds absolutely fascinating. But, the first 15min of it is nothing more than two guys talking about something that only they know about, that they’re already in the middle of. Is this just a snippet of a podcast?
They’re talking about the film that’s referenced in the title and that is the basis for the rest of the conversation, it’s context also becomes increasingly clear the longer you listen even if you haven’t seen the documentary. It’s certainly not something that only they know about as the documentary was released a couple of years ago.
Dude I completely agree. My problem is, the guy keeps asking questions and doesn’t even let Ulrich finish; he immediately cuts him off to tell us about what he saw and what his experience is. And then randomly it’s like he takes over his own show and just keeps talking about what he saw and what happened to him. He might as well just put a mirror across from himself. I’ve never been so frustrated trying to watch a podcast
@@ohioprotectyourkids3739Ur so intelligent.. D interviewr already knew what he wants gonna say and these are important people and logic people their point if to let audiences know what they are talking about.. He is clearing and enlightening the exact meaning what he is trying to say as he is expert in to explain to the audience's cuz his career is this to make it sure the audi3nces should understand, and the bald guy career less experience than him in this particular field.. They save their precious time..
Sometimes it's the seemingly small things that make you wonder. Like the medal that gets mentioned right from the start. What I find so remarkable is not how the customs officer reacts, but that he recognises this medal immediately and knows what it means. Think of it, the Bundesverdienstkreuz / Order of Merit of the FRG is the highest order and tribute a german can receive, but I would bet most germans would neither recognise a Bundesverdienstkreuz, nor would they give a flying crap. And I would bet the same is true for the US and, let's say the Medal of Honour. And yet this guy knows immediately what this medal is and means. I grew up and lived in a socialist totalitarian state, I have learned to pay attention to little details like this and this particular detail strikes me as remarkable. I don't know if anyone else would see it the same way, especially the people who grew up in free and democratic countries, it just what cought my attention.
This is the most interesting interview I have ever seen , of a really terrible subject. Bravo , I'm happy to hear a criminal could use his checkered past to be a service somewhere. I have thought about my idiotic decisions in the past being useful for something, But in this situation Mr. James sounds like the exact person u want. Amazing job all around from the interviewer , to the "mole" to Mr. James and everyone against the North Korean's, Human suffering needs to be stopped and I'm really proud of u all. Your all Hero's to me and I look forward to watching the video! Cheers, be well and all around Bravo !
Ok I keep seeing this word and never understood what it means exactly. I’ve even googled it but only nonsense shows up. I realize how old I sound right now
They lie about the ice fishing because they have no concept of the type of lifestyle that would allow for hobbies. They are so insulated from the rest of the world they don’t know other people do stuff like that for fun. They know enough to know it makes them look bad because their people are hungry and they know that we don’t have that problem. How sad is that? They don’t even know how to imitate a wealthy country.
Their interpretation of a wealthy country is a pantomime. It's like a poor low class girl who marries well into wealth but has no style or class, adorns herself with the trappings of wealth but only fools people like her.
It's funny , we have a Hare Krishna organisation where I live , and Ulrich looks just like their Leader. So he's probably the perfect man for the position..
Why is the reason this documentary isn’t allowed in the US? Are we be purposely censored so that Americans won’t become aware of NK and the conditions of its people? If so, that’s sick. I am an American who is becoming passionate about this issue. Why is America so focused on helping Ukraine while allowing dictators to stay in power. And NK people are suffering. I’d rather we spend our money helping NK and getting rid of Kim family!!
America is so focused on Ukraine because Ukraine is the money laundering capital of the world. US politicians vote to send billions to Ukraine, a billion comes back to US politicians to line their pockets. Things don’t get better for the average Ukrainian so they keep sending (and receiving) more money. There is no intention to make things better for those people. That would ruin the money train. And don’t forget…..it’s your tax dollars they are using.
Omg, @ 10:20, I used to live within a 3-minute walking distance from the airport, and those da** planes felt like they could strip my home's roofing.

the end of the movie… I was so worried for that child and the rest of that family. It seems like that
could be seen as disrespectful and I was concerned for their punishment.
I greatly appreciate films showing the regular folks. Too often I think outsiders think the NoK’s are ACTUALLY happy and are somewhat aware of the outside world, like the Amish. They THINK they’re choosing to stay and THINK it’s worse in other countries. Most of them don’t even realize that they’re oppressed.
They know that they are oppressed.
Might i also add, mr James has balls like king kong!. He played the role really well and god only knows how he and ulrich didnt manage to shit themselves is beyond me.
This man is a hero
I love this guy! Watch now. Brilliant!
Hell of a story. I must watch this movie.
It’s a shame I can’t buy this. Would really love to watch it🤷♂️❤️
its on youtube now =)
One of the most perplexing things about The Mole documentary is how Ulrich Larsen could enter the Danish KFA and rise to the position of KFA delegate for the Scandinavian countries without anyone doubting his sincerity and commitment even though he is an anti communist who hates the DPRK regime and supports sanctions. I cannot imagine spending ten years presenting a false front that is totally at variance with my true self without anyone becoming suspicious. Either Ulrich Larsen is a master of dissimulation or else the Danish KFA and Alejandro Cao de Benós lack the vigilance one would expect for an organization connected to North Korea. There is an interesting article published by Quora titled "Hypothetical Spying Scenarios: What are good ways to identify a mole in an organization who is feeding sensitive information to the competition?" that deals with this scenario.
I think Occam’s Razor says the KFA is just a bunch of weirdos with nothing going on upstairs so he was able to pass easily.
Criminals don't recognize themselves easily and liars don't recognize other liars..easy to fool narcissists.
@@Angelface11I have to disagree, the saying 'takes one to know one comes to mind' I just think it shows they all have their own agenda as to why they are mixed up with friends of North Korea, they just read his agenda wrongly, matching it to their own self serving one ,hope that makes sense
After watching the two part doco on bbc iplayer, one of the things that stuck out to me in the first episode, was when Alejandro Cao de Benós was discussing with Ulrich about some of the 'products' that North Korea had made in the past for different factions and countries....one of them being methanphetamine for Nato......or did I mishear that? Has that even been investigated?
you heard that correct, i’ve heard that but as a conspiracy theory, guess it’s true
This shit is crazy. Man pulled it off like a chad damnn
I became aware of Alejandro Cai De Benos about 10 years ago, and I was shocked.
Great interview!
Ulrich and James' actions are good and served to expose major wrongdoings on the part of North Korea and other parties involved. But 10 years, I can't imagine how nerve-wracking this whole thing can be.
James was also so over the top and confident that I think it would be impossible to tell he was just being a conman/mole, because no one would expect a mole to act like that. Same with Ulrich and his unassuming personality.
I'm left wondering what happened to the north korean deal brokers, maybe they were punished for this? They did a terrible job of verifying James after all. Did they have much choice in assuming their roles?
For the other parties involved, especially the ugandian officials, there is no excuse possible.
In any case the documentary raises very tough moral questions.
James seemed like he was being blessed with the Kim Dynasty’s infinite coke stash given his presentation and demeanour.
theres a great doc about this
It's insane to me that the North Koreans bought his story. A retired cook from Denmark, loves NK, happens to know a millionaire/billionaire/super rich organized crime guy well enough to bring him to NK to do all that the North Koreans only can dream about? And his name is "Mr. James" (as in James Bond?). If you know that it was a sting and think about it, it's absolutely wild.
wow - just wow. he's got ice water in his veins to pull this off.
Right? Balls of brass
@@JordanHarbingerShow you could tell by his mannerisms he knows what he’s doing. Respect
It was 10 years that was wild,,
@@JordanHarbingerShow where can I watch the documentary!
@@iamteamthinkbig Putlocker
Hahaha "The DPRK is amazing and the perfect example of what life should be!"
"Hey, you can move here! You're more than welcome!"
"Yeah... I'd rather not..."
Hilarious.
Ulrich really ought to do a podcast with North Korean defector, Yeonmi Park. I think that would be some good listenings. Cheers from US, Cali.
You know she’s been exposed as a scammer, right?
@@amyk.2500she’s been accused…big difference.
@@whitebird803 no she’s definitely been exposed 😂
Thank you for your effort. All of it.
Excellent interview!
wonder why we can not find this documentary.
I found it within 10 seconds of a search...
Woaa! I'm danish and had no clue of this guy!
This story is wild always find north Korean content interesting.
Where can I watch this documentary! Wow!
The joke at the end is the best part
You know NKorea is always watching so this guys confessions will make it much tougher on the next person going there.The obvious question was already asked and WHY because everyone already knows how corrupt NKorea is just by the fact they let very few people leave unless your going to a work force.
You are a very interesting and pro host,
Never give up on that passion man.
I had a co-worker in China (another foreigner) who was a Dork like Alejandro.
Where can I watch the film?
small correction: in East Germany you only had a car when you waited a generation for it to be made.
this title worked very well. i had to figure out why a chef would have to go undercover
What a quick thinker to hand him the car key!
God bless you and your video.. Thanks again for your courage to tell your truth..And to show how close Putin and Kim like brother..Both mental health issue.. Praise God revoke the Devil for ever amen ☮️🫂🌞
Where can I see the documentary.... I've looked everywhere
Wow brave dude even dangerous at the time, what a F’ing rush that was & all along jamming to some Metallica F’ING YEAH way to go crazy man👍
This is great and all, but where I can watch this documentary? It doesn't seem to be available on any streaming services.
I think they keep moving the USA release dates. Are you in the States or elsewhere?
@@JordanHarbingerShow I'm in the states. I'm aware it has been available on BBC as well as Danish and Norwegian television for a while. Not sure about other European countries. I'd have to look into it for those.
Tbh I jacked my copy off BitTorrent.
I couldn’t finish this interview. The premise of who this guy is, sounds absolutely fascinating. But, the first 15min of it is nothing more than two guys talking about something that only they know about, that they’re already in the middle of. Is this just a snippet of a podcast?
They’re talking about the film that’s referenced in the title and that is the basis for the rest of the conversation, it’s context also becomes increasingly clear the longer you listen even if you haven’t seen the documentary. It’s certainly not something that only they know about as the documentary was released a couple of years ago.
Dude I completely agree. My problem is, the guy keeps asking questions and doesn’t even let Ulrich finish; he immediately cuts him off to tell us about what he saw and what his experience is. And then randomly it’s like he takes over his own show and just keeps talking about what he saw and what happened to him. He might as well just put a mirror across from himself. I’ve never been so frustrated trying to watch a podcast
@@ohioprotectyourkids3739 Yeah...looks like an interesting story, but lost interest.
@@ohioprotectyourkids3739Ur so intelligent..
D interviewr already knew what he wants gonna say and these are important people and logic people their point if to let audiences know what they are talking about.. He is clearing and enlightening the exact meaning what he is trying to say as he is expert in to explain to the audience's cuz his career is this to make it sure the audi3nces should understand, and the bald guy career less experience than him in this particular field.. They save their precious time..
I feel so fortunate to have been born American.
We are
Such an important movie (hopefully).
Sometimes it's the seemingly small things that make you wonder. Like the medal that gets mentioned right from the start. What I find so remarkable is not how the customs officer reacts, but that he recognises this medal immediately and knows what it means. Think of it, the Bundesverdienstkreuz / Order of Merit of the FRG is the highest order and tribute a german can receive, but I would bet most germans would neither recognise a Bundesverdienstkreuz, nor would they give a flying crap. And I would bet the same is true for the US and, let's say the Medal of Honour.
And yet this guy knows immediately what this medal is and means. I grew up and lived in a socialist totalitarian state, I have learned to pay attention to little details like this and this particular detail strikes me as remarkable. I don't know if anyone else would see it the same way, especially the people who grew up in free and democratic countries, it just what cought my attention.
I listened to this on apple but wanted to see it here as well lol
Ah right on. Thanks for watching and being a fan of the show
@@JordanHarbingerShow damn where did my comment go
No idea. I see comments in my notification list and often when I click on them they aren’t there. I don’t understand it myself. Sorry.
All I see is “thanks for being a bad…”
@@JordanHarbingerShow lol yeah I can't see the comment. Damn RUclips. Really cool shows came here from Michael Knowles. Solid guy
Great video
A tale so tall that wags a tail.
Wow. Thank you for exposing North Korea. This story is absolutely incredible.
Send the link of his documentary I really want to watch
I'm Kenyan and I wonder of this is why migingo island is always being fought over by Kenya and Uganda.
This is the most interesting interview I have ever seen , of a really terrible subject. Bravo , I'm happy to hear a criminal could use his checkered past to be a service somewhere. I have thought about my idiotic decisions in the past being useful for something, But in this situation Mr. James sounds like the exact person u want. Amazing job all around from the interviewer , to the "mole" to Mr. James and everyone against the North Korean's, Human suffering needs to be stopped and I'm really proud of u all. Your all Hero's to me and I look forward to watching the video! Cheers, be well and all around Bravo !
Thanks William. Hope you enjoy more from The Jordan Harbinger Show
@@JordanHarbingerShow I am subscribed and sharing with others. Have a great week.
Tack Ulrich!
You should do a podcast with Yeonmi Park
In the works!
@@JordanHarbingerShow Based
Ok I keep seeing this word and never understood what it means exactly. I’ve even googled it but only nonsense shows up. I realize how old I sound right now
@@JordanHarbingerShow It means cool. Well, you're not that old, you know , there are 80-year-old people in the government.
@@JordanHarbingerShow I've no clue why my first reply doesn't show up, just in case the algorithm deleted it, based means cool.
They lie about the ice fishing because they have no concept of the type of lifestyle that would allow for hobbies. They are so insulated from the rest of the world they don’t know other people do stuff like that for fun. They know enough to know it makes them look bad because their people are hungry and they know that we don’t have that problem. How sad is that? They don’t even know how to imitate a wealthy country.
Their interpretation of a wealthy country is a pantomime.
It's like a poor low class girl who marries well into wealth but has no style or class, adorns herself with the trappings of wealth but only fools people like her.
When the Spanish guy broke out the bug finder I seriously thought he was screwed…
Alejandro aka “The Capitalist”
is it too bad to ask for a link to the movie in the description?
it can only be downloaded
Close your eyes, and you'll picture bill hader! I can't believe how much the host sounds like him!
Why dont more people know about this guy????????
The cia needs to watch his movie as homework cus he really did the impossible with kno intelligence agencies helping him. 👏👏 bravo
Quite a feat
It's funny , we have a Hare Krishna organisation where I live , and Ulrich looks just like their Leader. So he's probably the perfect man for the position..
Why is the reason this documentary isn’t allowed in the US? Are we be purposely censored so that Americans won’t become aware of NK and the conditions of its people?
If so, that’s sick.
I am an American who is becoming passionate about this issue.
Why is America so focused on helping Ukraine while allowing dictators to stay in power. And NK people are suffering. I’d rather we spend our money helping NK and getting rid of Kim family!!
becouse Ukraine is also attacked by another dictator. But I agree, NK regime is beyond imaginable evil and must be stopped
North Korea is the best Korea.
South Koreans are Japanese collaborators
Great question
Weapons manufacturing, selling and distribution is a very big business. 😉
America is so focused on Ukraine because Ukraine is the money laundering capital of the world. US politicians vote to send billions to Ukraine, a billion comes back to US politicians to line their pockets. Things don’t get better for the average Ukrainian so they keep sending (and receiving) more money. There is no intention to make things better for those people. That would ruin the money train. And don’t forget…..it’s your tax dollars they are using.
Omg, @ 10:20, I used to live within a 3-minute walking distance from the airport, and those da** planes felt like they could strip my home's roofing. I never thought plane watching was a thing, writing serial numbers and all... God knows we could even see the pilot's windshield or whatever that's called. 😂😂
Legendary film The Mole go check it
Where can I watch the mole?
Even Obama's chef didn't make it that long. Well done Sir.
I like how people laugh at NKs paranoia that every westerner is a spy but every time they come back they upload video of how they were a spy
My only question is why
Man thank you for not havign that guy with the salmon coloured shirt like you had in the Charles Ryu interview
that guy just cut Charles off and ruined the whole interview it was a shame
just some feedback if u care and im not hte only one who thinks this
Where can i watch the film?
Ive checked videos in RUclips and i found one however its dubbed in german and it doesnt have the english translation
It’s not out in every country right now. I think you can find it on BitTorrent though
I watched it right here on youtube a while back but I can't remember how I found it.
Alejandro aligns himself with north korea because he is a narcissist and loves the power he has when hes there. Thats the only reason.
And he doesn't have any friends
And a racist
Where can we see the film?
Not out yet in the USA
On RUclips ,, north Korea infiltrateing hish wepond business''
