Blogger Jacob Bogle often receives this warning, “State-sponsored actors are attempting to hack into your account.”
It’s all because he’s created the most detailed publicly-available map of North Korea, revealing details the totalitarian state would rather the rest of the world didn’t have.
What started off as a two-month summer project, has now turned into a decade-long endeavour, with over 64,000 entries. Jacob’s forensic analysis has been vital in exposing what’s really going on in the world’s most secretive country.
In our series Super Users, VICE World News explores the latest technology being used to fight crime, trafficking, climate change and social injustice.

If they are trying to stop you, you are doing something right! This is an awesome documentary! ❤️ I’m originally from South Korea and my heart breaks for the North Korean people and the things they go through. I pray for their freedom.
you don't feel heart break actually, you feel pity. When North Koreans if in one day is richer than you, you will be the first one to curse them :)
You speak of them like they are a different race or something. You all are the same Koreans. You all have the same ancestors. Korea was one and was cut in half by an evil family. Korea should be united once again as soon as possible the best way to help your family the north Koreans Is for as soon as Kim jong is out of power is for south Korea to unite with the north and become one country once again.
It's going to take significantly more than prayers.
Vice news is woke propagandists pushing the feminist / LBGTQ agenda
I wonder if North Koreans feel the same pity for South Koreans - after all in SK there’s truly no MEN (all men have been sissified) and the whole place is almost like Las Vegas meets Japan (a prostitutes paradise). SK is more of an America with terrible leftist values , and NK has some very nice traditions for nuclear families but clearly is too private , secretive and secluded .
It isn't even true that the Soviets and Americans decided to split the country and that's what made North and South Korea. After the Japanese withdrew, the people of Korea created the People's Republic of Korea. The US banned it in the South, and the Soviets coerced it to become the DPRK, dependent on the Soviet economy and reformed to fit their preferred power structure. Look with a bias and you will find it.
Exaclty! Thank u
Good job. Thanks for sharing
Duuuuude a couple of weeks ago one night I saw one of the old North Korea documentaries they made and it hooked me, I ended up watching all those videos that night(about7-8).They were amazing. Say what you want about vice but at the end of the day they are capturing stories all over the world in such a manner that large media companies could never do
those docs were when vice was actually cool
I laughed so hard when he mentioned the toxic drinking water, and he said that a country like North Korea doesn't care about its people. 🇺🇸 Luckily that would never happen in America. 🙄
@Abraxas it’s because the masses have noted a shift from the “old” vice to the “new” vice where the high quality remains, but the topics have become much less “of substance”.. I think that’s why a few comments have said this felt like the “old” vice because they used to post content like this much more than what you see today
Vice IS a large media company, they generate around 1 billion in revenue per annum and employ over 3000 people.
@@Western_Decline I really hate these types of simple minded whataboutist arguments. Ofc the US has it's problems, but how can you compare it to the DPRK in good faith? And why bring the US into it in the first place? The point was that North Korea obviously doesn't care on the same level that we do in the West and that is a fact. You don't have assume that the US is a utopia so that you can rightfully criticize North Korea.

What documents does he use, and is all the information he collects freely available in the public domain? This is how journalism should be: I want to find out more!!
Orale!
He should start a crowdfund to hire a satellite image service to do super hires runs of North Korea. Some of the companies you see on Google maps in the little copyright header are available for hire for these things.
Just learn how to use the internet. Can use hackers methodology at time to get access to information that ain't easy to get yet it's on the clear net
This guy is clearly a CIA shill. People are naive beyond belief.
Since north korea is cut off the public internet, you will not be able to hack anything of important over it@@hlulid234

@@CalCalCal6996 The following might be interesting for you: International military tribunal charter Article 19. The Tribunal shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence. It shall adopt and apply to the greatest possible extent expeditious and nontechnical procedure, and shall admit any evidence which it deems to be of probative value. Article 20. The Tribunal may require to be informed of the nature of any evidence before it is entered so that it may rule upon the relevance thereof. Article 21. The Tribunal shall not require proof of facts of common knowledge but shall take judicial notice thereof. It shall also take judicial notice of official governmental documents and reports of the United Nations, including the acts and documents of the committees set up in the various allied countries for the investigation of war crimes, and of records and findings of military or other Tribunals of any of the United Nations. It`s from the nuremberg and other trials. German guilt for Katyn has been established there in court and to my understanding has never been in front of a court since then (apart from a trial in Leningrad where supposedly a german officer confessed but i haven`t seen the transcripts). No matter what the polish, russian and other goverments say now about this incident. To my understanding you still risk jail in france if you say that the sowjets and not the germans did it. It`s the Gayssot law. It`s named after a guy of the french communist party and it was enacted at about the same time that things about Katyn got public because of Gorbachev / about the time he gave documents on it to the polish goverment. Also to my understanding you still risk legal trouble and even jail in germany and other countries for saying the exact same things that Yad Vashem in Israel and the USholocaustmuseum say, because they say things that differ for which germans were tried, found guilty and executed or imprisoned at this trials. This combined with people who took part in it and their track reckord (e.g. judges) as well as critics at that time (the Chief Justice of the US surpreme court at that time, Harlan Fisk Stone spoke out against it).

As for ww2 US propaganda look for Edward Bernays, Walter Lippmann, Theodore Kaufman, Earnest Hooton and Louis Nizer. You can throw Billy Wilder and the movie he made about Buchenwald while working for the US psychological warfare division in there too. The same with Alfred Hitchcock`s film/documentary. There are also voices, who say that Steven Spielberg is pretty much the same as Wilder. That includes jewish voices like Dr. Roger Dommergue Polacco de Menasce (who wrote a open letter to Spielberg). Someone even made a video answer/documentary to his movie Schindlers List that analised this movie. I can`t say if the statements made there are true or not. All i can say is that it`s out there.

I need more on this. I’m damn near obsessed with knowing more about North Korea, whether it’s how it’s changed over the decades or what’s happening there today.
@Alex Korova thanks, I’ll definitely check it out! Also good to know there are various versions out there and why. I think the last thing I checked out was the story of Shin Sang Ok and Choi Eun Hee, the actress and director Kim Jong Il ordered to be kidnapped to make NK movies. It’s such an outlandish thing to happen (especially to celebrities) yet not many people talk about it. 🫣
I think the Kim family knows without a doubt that their rule is incredibly tenuous, that’s why they’re so aggressive. When fear stops working, they will have nothing. I’ve become increasingly interested in North Korea and binged all the content you have put out over the years, I’m glad there is still content, although somewhat sparse. Much of the news doesn’t really dig in and go inside NK (literally and figuratively), so I feel like I learn so much more from the bravery of the journalists over at VICE.
this journalism is just a part of the anti north korea propaganda.
The nation shut itself up even more because of COVID making trips to the country even harder but hopefully things will open up soon so more filming can be done

The Russian work camps series was spectacular, culminating in getting up-close footage of none other than Kim Jong-il and then-Russian president Dimitry Medvedev.

interesting stuff man , well researched piece , Straight LOCO over there hey
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

You realize that spy satellite imagery is better than Google Earth?
I would argue that both intelligence agencies as well as just news agencies enjoy this for a centralized collection of works. Of course, a national intelligence agency may have higher resolution pictures but having everything connected and collected in one point makes the whole thing a lot easier.

@@d.j.f8623 Perhaps. But people miss things. Intelligence techs are people too, just like this dude.

I just spent 4 hours scouring through the North Korean map. Key take away, if there are no soccer fields in the area, those people are likely more screwed than those with soccer fields in the area. Also, North Koreans love soccer, but every field is always empty...
Probably one of Vice's best productions. Good luck.
How they managed to build nukes is beyond me considering all the resistance they received in trying to prevent them from doing it. They had as much if not more resistance than Iran.
Nukes are easy its the delivery systems that are the challenge. Their nuclear warheads and delivery systems are from Russia in exchange for precious metals, high grade illicit drugs mostly methamphetamine and the finest counterfeit money and government documents on the planet. Their development of a nuclear weapons program was all smoke and mirrors to take suspicion away from the fact Russia has provided them with nuclear warheads and reliable delivery systems as well as a couple of old school nuclear powered submarines with nuclear tipped torpedoes. One is always out and about near Japan at all times We have armed Japan with nukes. Now that Trump has provided North Korea with lists of our NOC officers and their Japanese counterparts and a mountain of intelligence documents that reveal our strengths and weaknesses when it comes to protecting Japan, we should see North Korean belligerence go off the scales. Trump didnt sell out American and Japanese case officers he gave them to Kim Jung Un for free. Trump wanted revenge for being denied what he thought would be lifetime control of the United States and Trump absolutely hates the CIA and spycraft in general and he truly likes and admires Kim Jung Un he even admitted to remaining in contact with Kim Jung Un just before we learned about what is a small fraction of stolen intelligence he was finally caught with. Trump was taking top secret documents and giving them away to our enemies and international criminal syndicates in return for their assistance in future matters for most of his time as President. He didnt sell them he traded them for their loyalty to him and to weaken America effectively gauging out the eyes of the American intelligence agencies. Whatever people think Trump did to undermine American security and clandestine abilities the truth is orders of magnitude worse than can be imagined. Now 1/3rd of the American population needs to be.dealt with in the harshest manner but our freedoms make that impossible. Mandating soldiers from taking 17 vaccines to 18 had like every other military organization on the planet had the unexpected effect of triggering Trumpist soldiers (Even though Trump takes credit for the vaccine and wants his cult members to take the vaccine?) to refuse orders and go AWOL. Biden took full advantage offering the anti vax Trumpist soldiers an honorable discharge for refusing the vaccine. Biden was able to purge the military of the most dedicated Trump worshiping insurgents in that one brilliant move. Still 1/3rd of the country now loves Kim Jung Un and despise Biden and Biden's hands are tied when it comes to taking extreme actions upon the millions of traitors and potential insurgents running amok and conspiring to damage our democracy in any manner imaginable. All due to Team Trumps use of mass hypnosis techniques refined by praticioners of black psychology and group dynamics. If there are ever going to be American warfighters on the streets of America it should be instigated by a Democratic President. There will be know civil war but this country will become Northern Ireland in the early 1980's that is almost a certainty.
This guy is killing it! Good job exposing these jerks.
protect him at all costs
Well dang I was going to go in a trip there for culture. You guys spoil everything
Excellent work!!! Be safe!!!
I don't think they will ever strike somewhere first because then they would be wiped out. However if Kim's control is ever at risk then they will use them I feel
Only 1 country has ever used nukes. I’ll give you a hint it’s not NK
you really think one man can just control entire nation just like that?
They could hit South Korea. If America intervenes so will China.
United Nations Command carried out an extensive bombing campaign against North Korea from 1950 to 1953 during the Korean War. It was the first major bombing campaign for the United States Air Force (USAF) since its inception in 1947 from the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). During the campaign, conventional weapons such as explosives, incendiary bombs, and napalm destroyed nearly all of the country's cities and towns, including an estimated 85 percent of its buildings.
I agree
Give this man a raise.
