The Red Chapel
Mads Brügger 2009 | World Cinema Documentary Competition, Political
The late senator Joseph McCarty would have loved this film. The Danish TV and RADIO host Mr. Mads Brügger has together with an group of amateur video people visited the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) after arrangement with the government of that country. The interesting matter is that DPRK is one of the few remaining socialist countries of this globe that haven’t succumbed to the fury and invasion of the western capitalist system etc. And that matter makes the country interesting etc. The matter is though, that Mr. Brügger and Danmarks Radio, DR, misuses the hospitality of the DPRK and the god faith in which they have been received in the country. The government of the DPRK thought it was a cultural exchange but the agenda of the the DR etc. was a totally other one. It is well known, especially after the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war that the United States of America and the Kingdom of Denmark, is very good friends and “comrades in arm” you may say. Denmark is also one of the countries in the EU and the western world, where the communist party and the left wing in general has been under long term, scrutiny of the Danish Secret Police (PET end FE). And they have worked closely together with regard to this matter and the spying of USSR and east European embassies in the 1980ties and later on. Apart from that the Danish media, newspapers, DR, TV2 etc. are solid haters of the leftwing, but loyal supporters of the American capitalist world hegemony etc. Because of that, there is almost no real political opposition in Denmark in 2010, all criticism of the Danish rightwing radical government is almost none existing. And maybe that is why that a part of the present Danish Government, The Danish Peoples Party, a Muslim hating racist party, is the real political power in the county. The film “The Red Chapel” is in its own way, a typical example of how the Danish rightwing media establishment is controlling the media and mock all opposition that doesn’t admire the US politics and “culture”, NATO and the ideology of the capitalist system. The hate against the Marxist ideology is the almost of the same nature as that of the USA in the 1950ties that send the Rosenberg couple in the electric chair for “suspicion of communist activity” etc. And in connection with the Danish Police activities against the leftwing, one should remember that the Danish Police, the spy services etc. after 1945 hired former employees of the Gestapo. Danes that had worked for the German occupation force in Denmark etc. The so-called documentary “The Red Chapel” is not a neutral, professional film analyses of the DPRK, but a piece of video propaganda that also could have been made in the propaganda ministry of The Third Reich and Dr. Gobbles. And regrettably confirms the role of Denmark as a protectorate of the USA. And Mr. Brügger as a capitalist henchman and a kind of agent of the American imperialism.
