A Defector's Story: My escape from North Korea--and South Korea

For a number of years I served as head of the technical department at a munitions complex that made missile guidance systems and related electronic devices for North Korea's military. I was one of 100,000 or so scientific and professional people involved in the regime's weapons of mass destruction industry.

At the same time, Seoul should end its barbarous "sunshine policy," which sentences fellow Koreans to slavery because giving them freedom would cost too much money.

Quite an understatement. Absorbing NK at this point will bring SK to the brink of bankruptcy. Economically it's the equivalent of the US digesting over 100 million half-starving Mexicans. It's not something we'd want to happen overnight.

This is the serious problem. The S. Korean intelligence agency has been compromised by leftist ideologues who are more interested in making nice with N. Korean regime than countering threats from N. Korea.

It is clear by now that the whole organization is bypassed by American intelligence. American intelligence must have created a separate intelligence infrastructure to deal with N. Korea. I mean, America did not have extensive human intel network to handle N. Korea. But apparently it has one now.

The recent reports on the defection of 20 N. Korean elites via underground railroad suggests that such an infrastructure is in operation. To smuggle out N. Korean elites requires more than amateur organizations of international human right activists. We are not talking about ordinary folks from N. Korea whose has little value to N. Korean regime. These people have critical skills to prop up N. Korean regime or sensitive inside knowledge about the regime. N. Korean security are always watching them.

It is possible that many operatives who once worked at S. Korean intelligence but later let go because they are not comaptible with "sun-shine" policy are now working with Americans. They could be now making up the bulk of the American human intel network against N. Korea.

It is my opinion that, from now on, any N. Korean elite who wants to escape N. Korea would go to America instead of S. Korea, thanks to blind ideologues who have warm and fuzzy feeling for Kim Jong-Il's regime.

RE #3

I have been advocating for a long time that we need to install a new regime in N. Korea which is basically the puppet regime of S. Korea. Nominally, there will be two Koreas, with two government and two currencies. And all labor-intensive manufacturing industry should relocate to N. Korea, allowing them to catch up with S. Korea using their cheap labor as their advantage.

Ideally, this should be linked with the development of Russian Far East, and TransSiberian railways to transport goods from Korea and Japan.

This article presents a simple, proven recipe for the rapid liberation of North Korea and elimination of one of the 2 remaining Axis of Evil regimes.

Negotiate with Russia, South Korea, and (particularly) China for accepting unlimited numbers of North Korean refugees with immediate transport to newly built, well supplied, food-filled temporary holding centers in South Korea.

Like East Germany, millions will flee the North Korean hell-hole.

The regime will not last the summer!

RE #7

Actually, American-sponsored group is working to create holding centers in Mongolia. It all up to China if any such scheme can go forward. I say the chance is improving these days, thanks to recent outrageous antics of N. Korea. The day China openly accepts N. Korean refugees is the day N. Korean regime starts to collapse rapidly.
