Reading of Nazi crimes against humanity and their own people leaves me shocked  anew every day. It is some comfort that it all happened more than 65 years ago. However, just poking around right now I find this, going on today, right while we’re all watching:

Political Concentration Camps: Currently, over 200,000 “violators” are overworked, tortured, raped or publicly executed in political prison camps across the country. There are five major prison camps in North Korea, verified by corroborating testimonies of North Korean defectors and satellite images. Up to 3 generations of each family are imprisoned, including children, because a relative had committed a crime such as expressing disloyalty to the government. Conditions in the camps are extremely harsh and systematic and widespread human rights abuses occur. Most prisoners are not expected to survive due to such extreme conditions, and approximately 25% die in the first year. Some reports have estimated that more than 400,000 prisoners may have already died in this system.

While this guy is getting fat:

His people starve:

China, vaunted China, where we send all our money, does not help:

Estimates of up to 300,000 refugees have fled to neighboring China and are hiding in the underground. In violation of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, China repatriates all North Koreans who have illegally crossed the border; these refugees therefore risk torture and execution if captured. A fraction of North Korean refugees escape to third countries with the intention of seeking asylum.

Over 80% of North Korean refugees, the majority of whom are women and children, are victims of human trafficking in China. Within North Korea, children are routinely forced into child labor, and are subject to extremely abusive or dangerous situation; women, on the other hand, are trafficked for sex.

This has been going on for decades. The world community is watching.

Babyface doesn’t look like he has a clue. He knows he needs to ration his people, keep them ignorant, keep them brainwashed, and, above all, keep the Internet out.

As I am stating this, I humbly realize that I don’t have a solution to offer.
