propaganda claims rogue state One World War two with no mention of u.s. North

Korea citizens are taught a very different account of world war two by

the reclusive state than in the rest of the world as they are told Kim Il Sung's

freedom fighters defeated the Japanese but there is no mention of the US

nuclear attacks dot world war two officially ended following the surrender

of Japan on September 2nd 1945 in the wake of the US nuclear bombing of

Hiroshima and Nagasaki but North Korea's current leader Kim jong-un rejects these

versions of events and passes on a myth surrounding the state's founding father

and Kim's grandfather Kim il-sung - the country's state dictated schools

wrestling legend and TV producer Eric Bischoff visited the reclusive State in

1995 for the wrestling show collision in Korea and encountered the bizarre myth

after being taken aside during his trip to be educated on North Korean history

he said we heard how the North Korean government was able to end World War two

by defeating the Japanese dot the North Korean government representatives who

were with us were lecturing us Americans about how the North Koreans defeated

Japan people who were born after the 1940s have no idea that the u.s. ended

the war by dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in their

educational system in the way they are conditioned and brainwashed the North

Koreans ended World War two and nobody has any idea that nuclear weapons were

used by the u.s. Kim il-sung is portrayed to be the central figure in

the defeat of Japan by the freedom fighters who were trying to liberate

occupied Korea at the end of the Second World War North Koreans are taught that

Kim launched a terrifying campaign against the Japanese occupiers from his

base on mount pike show a 2 comma 744 m Mountain which now has sacred value for

North Koreans the peak is referred to by North Koreans

as the sacred mountain of the revolution and Kim jong-un reportedly climbed the

mountain in December last year the founding father of the nation is also

said to have fathered Kim's father Kim jong-il from his mountain base who is

said to have fought against the Japanese alongside his father as a toddler

records actually show that Kim il-sung was not even in Korea during World War

two and was instead working as a major in the Soviet Union's Red Army Kim

il-sung only returned to Korea with the advancing Russian army after spending

the war in Russia and before that as a guerrilla in China he spent close to two

decades away from his homeland and reportedly had a poor grasp of the

Korean language when he returned Bischoff commented on the North Korean

version of events saying having conversations with governmental

officials there I don't think they knew or know what really happened that's how

brainwashed they are North Koreans are today celebrating the day of the Sun in

memory of Kim il-sung and will pay tribute to the founding father by

visiting monuments and statutes across the country thanks for watch please

Washington, D C , may let 16 year olds vote for president Is that a good idea - Duration: 2:36.

Washington, D.C., may let 16-year-olds vote for president.

Is that a good idea

The move to lower the voting age has been given a fresh push by the activism of teenagers

across the country after the Parkland high school shooting.High school students marched

to protest for gun control after the Parkland shooting in Florida and soon they might be

marching straight to the voting booth in the nation's capital.

Washington is on track to become the first place in the country to allow people as young

as 16 to vote in federal elections, including for president, as the nation glimpses the

emerging political power of the generation that follows millennials.

It�s part of a burgeoning movement in the U.S. and abroad as a growing number of cities

and states consider ways to expand voting rights to younger people.

"At the age of 16, our society already gives young people greater legal responsibility.

They can drive a car.

They can work.

Some are raising a family or helping their family make ends meet.

They pay taxes," said D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen, a Democrat who introduced the bill

last week to lower the voting age.

"And yet, they can't exercise their voice where it matters most � at the ballot box."

A majority of the D.C.

Council, as well as Mayor Muriel Bowser, have already signed onto the bill.

The Washington Post has editorialized for passage, arguing that the promotion of civic

engagement outweighs concerns about life experience or precedent.

It's a dramatic turnaround from just three years ago, when Allen introduced a similar

bill that went nowhere.

He credits the change in part to the eloquence and passion that teenage activists demonstrated

in the post-Parkland "March for Our Lives" and nationwide school walkouts to protest

gun violence.Two years ago, the argument that I would hear people make was, really?

Have you met a 16 year old?� Allen told NBC News.

"What we've seen over the last several months has just completely eviscerated that argument."

Takoma Park, Maryland, just over the border from Washington, became the first jurisdiction

in the country to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in 2013.

Since then, a handful of other progressive cities have followed, the largest being Berkeley,

California.

But cities only have the power to extend voting rights for municipal elections.

The District of Columbia � both a city and pseudo-state wrapped up into one � could

enfranchise 16- and-17-year-olds for all elections, from selecting members of advisory neighborhood

councils to the next occupant of the White House.
