Her er lidt føde til socialisme- og planøkonomielskerne, - fra
OpenDemocracy:

Nu skal Kim Jong-Il jo igen begaves med millioner af tons fødevarer, hvis
han bare vil være sød, - sådan har han spillet spillet i årevis, bøllerne
vinder altid i sidste ende?


She described how, on joining Kim's court, she was given handmade Italian
shoes, Japanese designer clothes (Yamoto, Kenzo, Mori) and an Omega watch
inscribed with Kim Jong-Il's name. A check of Swiss trade statistics shows
that in 1998, North Korea did indeed import $2.7 million's worth of luxury
watches.

At breakfast she enjoyed French croissants, fresh yoghurt and imported
fruits because Kim said they must have clear and healthy skins. At lunch
there was fresh raw fish, Japanese-style, and at dinner Korean or western
dishes.

"We ate off porcelain dishes inlaid with roses and used silver tableware.
Everything was imported. Nothing I have ever seen in South Korea is as good",
she said. When her five years was up - no girls stay longer - she decided to
flee with her husband, a former bodyguard.

I double-checked their stories with an ex-bodyguard, Lee Young-guk who
observed Kim at close quarters during eleven years of service.

"In a real sense, he is the richest man in the world. There are no limits on
what he can do", Lee said. "He has at least ten palaces set in sprawling
grounds and insists each is always occupied by thousands of staff so his
enemies are never sure where he is. They contain golf courses, stables for
his horses, garages full of motor-bikes and luxury cars, shooting-ranges,
swimming pools, cinemas, funfair parks, water-jet bikes and hunting grounds
stocked with wild deer and duck."

A big bulky man in a blue suit, Lee reached down below the coffee table, and
showed me shins covered by a mass of blue scars. When Lee Young-guk returned
to his home to find everyone starving, he decided to escape; but North
Korean agents masquerading as South Koreans caught him in China. His strong
physique and years of harsh training helped him survived the torture, and he
escaped again.

Lee says that Kim Jong-Il fears an uprising like the one that overthrew
Nicolae Ceausescu in Romania. In the face of several abortive army
rebellions, he relies on a crack force of around 100,000 men, the equivalent
of Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard.

After the Soviet bloc's collapse and the defeat of Saddam Hussein in the
first Gulf war of 1991, Kim took ever-greater internal security measures. He
expanded the secret police, creating three duplicate layers of surveillance.
No one in the elite could go anywhere or meet anyone without first obtaining
his permission.

..............

Those who doubt (or are even suspected of doubting) Kim's fantasy world are
sent to places like Camp 22. Ahn Myong-chol, now a banker in Seoul, spent a
decade working as a guard in various camps. He can still recall the shock -
"like a hammer" - on first seeing dwarf-like creatures milling about in
filthy rags.

"They were walking skeletons of skin and bone, with faces covered in cuts
and scars where they had been beaten. Most had no ears; they had been torn
off in beatings. Many had lost a leg and hobbled about on crude crutches or
sticks", Ahn remembers.

Ahn was told not to consider the prisoners human beings. They were killed
casually for the slightest infractions, often in gruesome ways - buried
alive, dragged behind jeeps, hung or shot, garrotted or burned alive. The
rest were worked to death in mines or building secret tunnels for the
military, or given lethal jobs like testing chemical weapons.

"Anyone suspected of disloyalty ended up in the camps", he said. Kim Il-sung
had purged opponents by the trainload, but his son nearly doubled the number
of political prisoners. Whole families would be arrested, and sent to prison
camps without trial and without even knowing their crime.

Kang Chol-hwan describes his camp childhood in his book The Aquariums of
Pyongyang. When President Bush invited him to the White House, Pyongyang
reacted furiously, calling Kang "human trash" and threatening the United
States with a refusal to consider further talks if it continued to "insult"
North Korea.

The New York Times and the rest of liberal America wants Bush to start
serious negotiations and stop calling Kim Jong-Il names. President Bush is
certain to ignore this advice. As the Beijing six-party talks prepare to
reconvene on 26 July, the stage is set for a new showdown on the Korean
peninsula.

Ih altså - er det ikke proportionsforvrængning at 23 millioner bliver trynet
i verdens største koncentrationslejr aka DPRK, men langt væk, mens vi her
i DK bliver faktisk truet på livet, i og med at tyskerne planlægger at
lægge pant på øldåser fra den 1. januar ?
