INSANITY RULES IN NORTH KOREA AS CHILDREN STARVE - CANNIBALISM IS COMMON

 

North Korea's Department Store Number One is shown stocked full of every luxury item. But not one thing that is displayed in the whole store is for sale. Captured by a hidden camera, we see the merchandise and we hear the store's representative say, "It is just for show. Nothing is for sale". It is propaganda arranged to convince everyone that North Korea is prosperous. (Frontline PBS)

 

Thousands of North Koreans step together in time like clockwork, like wooden marionettes marching on strings, eerily reminiscent of the Nazis. They cease to be human. They obey their Great Leader, Kim Jung-un, as if he were God.

 

To thousands of North Koreans, the Great Leader must be God. Since he is able to prevent information from the rest of the world from reaching his people, they are disconnected from reality and live in the Great Leader's fantasy - his version of Disney Land.

 

Does he really believe all this himself? Does he believe he is God? Is he mad?

 

By their fruits shall ye know them.

 

It has been reported that Kim Jung-un executed his ex-girlfriend, his nephew and, more recently, his uncle. His slightest suspicion is a death sentence. He holds the power over life and death. He is the Child God and all the people are his toy soldiers.

 

And while the elite North Korean favourites may live in luxury, and the Great Leader's propaganda machine sells a picture of a rich and comfortable life, little children, many orphans, are dying of hunger and freezing to death while living on their own in the streets, hidden from the eyes of the distracted, indifferent, world.

 

Cannibalism is common in North Korea. If you can't feed your children - eat them.

Sung Min Jeong, 44, claims that in Chongjin – a city at the tip of the North Korean coast – a shopkeeper serves up human meat.

"One of his strongest thoughts is … if he didn't take steps to leave North Korea, he would've become a North Korean who ate human flesh," an interpreter for Mr Jeong told news.com.au.

The thought that he would have to one day eat a fellow human being is what drove Mr Jeong to leave his homeland behind and to escape to Sydney in March 2011.

It is not the first time reports of cannibalism have emerged from the secretive state.

Fears that famine-stricken North Koreans are being forced to eat human flesh heightened earlier this year following claims a man was executed for murdering his two children for food.

"While his wife was away on business he killed his eldest daughter and, because his son saw what he had done, he killed his son as well. When the wife came home, he offered her food, saying: 'We have meat,'" a source told The Independent.

"But his wife, suspicious, notified the Ministry of Public Security, which led to the discovery of part of their children's bodies under the eaves."

Renewed reports of cannibalism came after a human rights group accused North Korea of operating a system of secret gulag-style prison camps, according to reports.

Fears of cannibalism in the country surfaced in 2003 too, amid testimony from refugees who claimed poor harvests and food aid sanctions had resulted in children being killed and corpses cut up for food.

According to reports, requests by the United Nations World Food Programme to access "farmers' markets" where human meat was said to be traded, were turned down by Pyongyang, citing "security reasons".

Those caught selling human meat face execution, but one source told the North Korean Refugees Assistance Fund: "Pieces of 'special' meat are displayed on straw mats for sale.

"People know where they come from, but they don't talk about it."
