The despot is no stranger to porkies and tales of the deluded regime's outlandish lies are legendary.

However, the country's total isolation from the rest of the world allows its ‘supreme leaders’ of the country to create a world filled with propaganda and lies.

North Korea’s internet consists of a closed domestic network with only approved North Korean websites and only government officials have access to the global web.

Although the lies Kim's government tell are clearly ridiculous to the rest of the world, North Koreans fully believe them because that is all they know.

For example, this isn't 2017 it's actually the year 105 as North Koreans are made to believe they should count year 1 as the year Kim Il -sung was born.

Here are six of the best ridiculous lies North Koreans are made to believe.





1) It was the US who started The Korean War

The Korean War is still a daily topic of conversation in North Korea and almost everything North Koreans have learned about the war is rubbish. They’re told the US started the war by occupying South Korea and then attacking the 'peaceful' North. The US then tried to take control of the North, but mighty Kim Il-Sung heroically fought them off. Total hogwash.

2) Kim Jong-Il was 'supernatural

Based on Kim Jong-Il’s official biography, he was born on Korea’s most sacred mountain, Mt. Baekdu, inside a secret military camp during North Korea’s Japanese Occupation. At the exact moment of his birth, a new star formed and lit up the sky, the seasons suddenly changed from winter to spring, and a double rainbow appeared. Total tosh as Kim was actually born in 1941, in Siberia.

3) Kim Jong-il was a top fashion icon

In 2010, North Korean media claimed Kim Jong-Il’s iconic style has become a global phenomenon. His trademark zip-up khaki tunic with matching pants had 'quickly became the most popular men’s fashion trend in the world'. His trendsetting style was reportedly a clear tribute 'to his exceptional image as a great man and his powerful influence over the rest of the world'. Needless to say it was all made up.

4) North Korea invented the hamburger

Minju Joson, the North Korean newspaper, stated that Kim Jong-Il invented a brand new sandwich and named it, “double bread with meat” as a way to supply ‘quality’ food to University teachers and students. Kim then built a plant, used for mass hamburger production. According to North Koreans, Kim Jong-Il is the true inventor of the hamburger. 100 per cent tripe.

5) Kim Jong-Il is the best golfer ever

In 1994 North Korean media told how the Glorious Leader scored 38 under par on an 18-hole golf course. Five of those shots were reportedly holes-in-one. It was 'his first time playing the sport.' His score was 25 shots better than the best round of golf in all of history. Golf wasn’t his only talent, though, North Korean media also stated that the first time Kim bowled, he scored a perfect 300! Ball-derdash.

6) Kim Jong-Il Cured Dwarfism

In 1989, North Korea held an event known as the World Festival of Youth and Students. Amazingly, Kim Jong-Il discovered a miracle drug that cured “shortness” and handed out pamphlets to recruit short North Koreans to receive treatment prior to the event. However, the dwarfism drug was a a tall story. All the short people that showed up were rounded up and deported to uninhabited islands so their defective short genes would no longer 'infect' the population. Kim Jong-Il stood a mighty 5’3″.
