I know North Korea. I have lived there, and have witnessed its hell and madness. North Korea's starvation is not the result of natural disasters. The calamity is man-made. Only the regime's overthrow will end it.
Human rights are nonexistent.
Peasants, slaves to the regime, lead lives of utter destitution. Ordinary people starve and die. They are detained at the caprice of the regime. I will recount some of my experiences. Early in my spell in North Korea I was summoned to treat a workman who had been badly burned by molten iron.
