  • 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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.
