Is North Korea Testing Biological Weapons on Children?
Yet even if some defector stories are untrue, fleeing North Koreans, over time, have told essentially the same story, thereby unintentionally corroborating each other. For instance, Kwon Hyok, formerly the chief of security at the now-infamous Camp 22, states that small groups of people were led into a chamber with glass windows and suffocated with gas while technicians observed the gruesome process. Compare this to the testimony of Im Chun-yong, a former North Korean commando. He says one of his soldiers told him of a facility on an island off the country’s west coast where people were put into a glass chamber. “Poisonous gas was injected in,” Im says, relating the story secondhand. “He watched doctors time how long it took for them to die.”
Kim Sang-hun says that when he was a UN official he had interviewed hundreds of fleeing citizens, and most of them talked about the horrifying testing. “Human experimentation is a widespread practice,” he notes.
Im, once a captain in Brigade No. 19, a special forces unit, confirms the experimentation is commonplace and also alleges that the government uses mentally and physically handicapped children, relating the story of his commander, who was essentially forced to give up his 12-year-old mentally ill daughter in the early 1990s. There may be as many as five locations where such testing takes place, says Kim, the former UN official.
North Korea is not only testing chemical and biological weapons, it is also rehearsing their use. Im said he was given training on firing a “bazooka-style” weapon delivering WMD.
Would North Korea actually use its chemical and biological weapons? Im, for one, is convinced Kim Jong Il would not hesitate to do so. The country, after all, is run by ruthless men and women who have committed horrific acts in the past. Killing their own citizens, especially the handicapped, is consistent with all we know about the criminals responsible for the most abhorrent regime on earth today.
God help us all. In reading the last paragraph, I could not help seeing similarities in Obamacare, that would withhold treatment from elderly, handicapped, and those who could not be “productive (tax paying)” citizens.
Former US vice-president Al Gore has told a Melbourne breakfast that climate change is both the most dangerous threat … that civilisation has faced
As to using these weapons, why wouldn’t Kim Jong Ill (spelled properly to correct the missing “L”) use them?
If DPRK is liberated, Ill and his cronies know what will happen to them. The US won’t have a chance to even catch this guy, because he’ll be slaughtered like a pig by his own people.
Things like this happen when a war is left unfinished.
We’ve had to deal with serious threats, some of them still around, because we let the right moment to act pass away.
Need more examples? the Soviet Union and the cold war after WWII, Fidel Castro with the Bay of Pigs, Saddam Hussein with the 1st Gulf War.
Some one contact Nancy Pelosi. Here is the key to the savings needed to pass her health-care monstrosity. No one sucks up needed health funds like the infirm. Of course, if we invested just a little in universal amniocentesis, we could ice the little leeches before they ever claimed a cent.
Of course they are testing biological weapons on children. Bio is the way to go if you want to mass-kill on the cheap. They are part of the Axis of Evil after all. Bush got it right, God bless him. And God help us because the end product has been designed for our consumption. Nukes are the least of our worries with these clowns.
When the North falls, and it will, we’ll see the brutal results of unchecked socialism up close.
of course.
steeple, even if one accepts Gore’s science, one could make the argument that nuclear proliferation is more dangerous. It’s not easy comparing the two threats of course, but in any event North Korea, perhaps the most immediate proliferation threat, would have to score high in anyone’s rankings on threats.
JCinOBX, in your short comment you have given us the main reason why Kim would use these horrible weapons: He has nothing to lose when his time comes.
steeple, even if one accepts Gore’s science, nuclear proliferation ranks up there as one of the world’s greatest threats. Kim, of course, is a master proliferator, so he scores high as a global threat no matter what one thinks of climate change.
JCinOBX, yes, Kim could use these horrible weapons if he feels he has nothing to lose. As his father said, if you’re going to go, it’s good to take everyone else with you. Kim Jr. put it this way: “If we lose, I will destroy the world.”
JSebast, exactly. We did not have the will to win the Korean War, and we have yet to pay the final price for this instance of American failure.
bill, as you point out, one of the defining features of America is its protection of the weak.
sodacrackers, we have to provide for all Americans, even the weak. That’s something Obama doesn’t talk about when he refers to “excessive costs.”
ding, it’s hard to figure out which of Kim’s weapons are the worst. That’s why, one way or another, we have to get make sure this regime does not threaten us, our allies, or the international community.
We watched a documentary of North Korea, children were of particular interest. They were pitiful. Most roaming the streets are orphans, so no one cares if they “disappear”..into some experimental world of chemicals.
This man needs to be stopped, not through warfare, but taken out some how.
abi, how about an airtight embargo on everything except food and medical aid that is strictly monitored by in-country inspectors?
Gordon, I’d like to agree however who will do this ‘air tight’ embargo? Besides it only hurts the poorest of the people not the regime and it’s cronies. But nonetheless, that leaves the UN to do this no matter that it’s a corrupt organization. They’d love the chance to personally gain personal wealth like with Iraq…mind you, maybe they’d leave the ‘lets guilt and tax the productive people to death’ program alone for another decade or so…keep ‘em busy stealing from the most marginalized of the world and covering up their useless but very expensive existence, and not focused on trying to steal the personal wealth and freedom of working class people all over the globe any way they can. Same-o, same-o.
Idd, who would enforce the embargo? The United States, Japan, and South Korea. And the three of them would say to China that it cannot remain a part of the international community if it does not join with them.
Many will say this won’t happen, and my reply is that sometimes what is necessary is not considered practical. Those times are usually followed by uncertainty, turbulence, and death in great numbers.
Thanks for asking.
There is no independent state of North Korea
it is a joint venture of Kremlin and Beijing
all weapon technologies and science is done by russians mostly,
the idea is to use bio weapons on USA, and make stupid TV viewers believe that it is North Korea or non-existing Al Quada
Kabud, I certainly agree that North Korea has been a Moscow-Beijing joint venture since 1948. Now, however, the place is taking on an independent streak as the military regime in Pyongyang is starting to go its own way as Kim’s health fades. China is beginning to realize that its client state is becoming a real danger to all in the region, maybe even the Chinese themselves.
To 21. Gordon
well, I have to say that when kremlin in the past considered to give out nuclear weapon, first to Beijing and later to Korea-
they calculated consequences with extreme precision
affair like that means you don’t just control the `gift receiver`
NO!!! You own them. Totally own them.
How? Well from what i know : contingency plan to immediately destroy the receiver government and if needed -most of their population
I know that this is exactly the way kremlin `owns` both N Korea and China
By `destroy` i mean a set of attack measures:
including immediate elimination of rulers of the object country.
This should work well because under the communist regime all you
(and i hope USA does it one day) have to do is :
arrive in a `stealth` manner right where they are in Beijing or Pyongyang
and attack them in their underground or other bunkers with tactical nukes
If, say, they attack you first- then the plan is to destroy 80% or some other big part of their population with biological and 4th generation nuclear weapons
it is EXACTLY planned like that, details may differ but the idea is to OWN those whom you give nukes/wmd by genocidal attack with WMD.
Kabud, thanks, but once a nation gets nuclear weapons, it in a sense becomes independent of the provider of the technology. That’s one of the reasons why North Korea has been so successful in defying the international community recently. Its deterrent is working.
