Kim Jung Il and his father will barley be footnotes in history 200 years from now. Whereas Hitler, much like Napoleon, made a bigger splash. Look at it this way.

This is one reason why I decided to go to You Tube --- when looking for material to use in these edits, I saw that some of the Hitler, Kim Jong Il, North Korea, and so on, related videos there have gotten tens of thousands of hits over the course of months to years. I've been preaching periodically that the North Korea Human Rights NGOs really need to take advantage of the internet and the amount of broadban users that keeps growing very rapidly. The specials on NK, like some I am using, are excellent and professional quality stuf ---- but ----- if it isn't available like Video-On-Demand, it is "yesterday's news". And somethings like the conferences don't get covered at all beyond those willing to read texts (which many people are not) or at the conference. But, short videos can bring in casual internet surfers... If groups would put some short videos of - say - North Korean refugees telling their story or what they have seen first hand -- even if they mosaic out the face or whatever ---- would be powerful. Anyway, I finally got enough time on my hands to work on some videos myself... (And I don't have to fret much about copyrights...) I've gotten 250 hits over a 1-3 day period.

The specials on NK, like some I am using, are excellent and professional quality stuf —- but —– if it isn't available like Video-On-Demand, it is "yesterday's news".

And somethings like the conferences don't get covered at all beyond those willing to read texts (which many people are not) or at the conference.

It is a very well done video and hopefully it will keep getting views. Hopefully your video got some additional views from the Milblogs link I posted on it as well.

I struck gold with that Hitler video which was about the first I found. When I first had the mind to do these shorts, I knew I wanted to draw a parallel using speeches by Hitler and images of the Holocaust. Years before that, when I first saw the Arirang Festival, I knew those were perfect images to highlight the demented nature of North Korea's hell to those who don't know about it already, but I really lucked out that I found a Hitler youth video with an English translation right off the bat. It was eerie how the themes mirrored each other as I started to work on it ---- which is why the Hitler video went from brief 4 or 5 second slots here and there to being co-equal message with the NK tyranny theme...
