WND : North Korea's grisly arms tests on babies
2006-05-31
They call it "the Killing Compound" – the area of Camp 22 in North Korea's largest concentration camp. Hidden away in the mountains in a remote northeastern corner of North Korea, close to its borders with Russia and China, Camp 22 has been purpose-built for the regime's scientists to have an unlimited number of prisoners on which to experiment.

Thousands of men, women and children are trucked to the nearby town of Haengyong. There they wait and, just as Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele did at Auschwitz, the North Korean physicians single out those who will die in gas chambers, or in biological tests, or face death in the human dissection rooms.
Those not selected to go to the Killing Compound at once will be kept in other compounds, surviving on minimum rations, to replace those who have died from inhuman experiments.

They are all branded as enemies of the state, "political victims" who have dared to speak out against President Kim Jong Il, the "Dear Leader" of North Korea. Their "offenses" may have been to allow a portrait of Kim to get dusty – every home must display one. Or not having given the mandatory bow when passing his thousands of posters that line every street.

Now, as the trial of Saddam Hussein draws to its inevitable close in Baghdad, Western intelligence services are building up their files that will enable Kim and senior members of his regime to be indicted for war crimes. "Just as Saddam cannot escape his role in the war crimes of his regime, so Kim will also face justice. "North Korea is a real terror state and its leader has to face the international criminal court," said Dr Norbert Vollersten, a German doctor who treated victims in North Korea and is now a campaigner for regime change in Pyongyang. "As a German born after the war, I know too well the guilt of my grandparents' generation for remaining silent," he says. "We must do everything possible to end Kim's regime of terror."

Chilling testimony from those he has helped to escape from North Korea has emerged as a key element in preparing future indictments against Kim and his regime. The most shocking evidence centers on Camp 22. An MI6 file describes it as "larger than Auschwitz or Dachau." "Hundreds of prisoners die there each week, the victims of biological or chemical experiments to test out [chemical and biological] weapons for North Korea's CBW arsenal," claims an MI6 report.

In one intelligence file is the allegation that newborn babies are taken from their mothers and injected with biological agents or given injections of chemicals that blister the skin, leaving huge keloids, the sores seen on the bodies of Hiroshima victims.

One woman, Lee Sun-Ko, who escaped from North Korea earlier this year, eventually ended up in America. She told her CIA debriefing officer that Camp 22's experimental laboratories are buried underground to avoid aerial reconnaissance and bombing. Lee Sun-Ko's affidavit includes: "I watched guards select 150 prisoners, mostly women. Some had just given birth. Their babies were ripped from them. Some of the babies were laid face down on the ground and a guard injected them at the top of the spine. Other guards carried the babies away. When the mothers screamed and protested, they were severely beaten."

David Hawk, a former United Nations official who was involved in monitoring Camp 22, said that while reports of baby-killing are often hard to prove, in the cases he has investigated the evidence is plausible. "I spoke to eight refugees who had first-hand evidence. Their stories tallied," said Hawk.

#17  DG, thanks for the clarification and I hope you're right.

#16  The anthrax was described as "highly refined", puzzling investigators as to how common terrorists could accomplish this unless it was state-sponsored. The same term was used to describe NK's methamphetamines intercepted off Australia. NK ambassadors also acted as couriers for the Superdollar they counterfeited. I suspect Kimmie is responsible for a lot of war crimes and WMD's, maybe even sharing how to build undetectable compounds underground with Iran and other terrorists. He's been ignored too long.

#14  This seems like a rehash of previous reports. Some of the allegations (ie.chemical testing, infantcide) were disproven as exagerated stories by defectors attempting to gain asylum for extended families. Camp 22 is a concentration camp for political prisoners and their families and no doubt filled with actual abuses. Just be aware that " babies on bayonets" and "incubator atrocities" have proven to be more embelishment then fact.

#13  China's neighbor, why aren't they doing something about it? They want to show that they can be a part of the "civilized" world?

China has a "one child per family" population control regime enforced by infanticide, among other means. I seriously doubt they want to make any noise on this issue.

I have many more mob rule theorys too, like bank charges - you get them in the states? say you overdraw a doller and get charged 50 dollers for it like here in the UK? well things like hat need to end with and the only way is mob/people power!

#11  Shep o'boy, the Americans don't have to do anything about it any more than the English or French, etc. Actually, the South Koreans could end it if they wanted to. I suspect they could roll about as effectly up to the Chinese border as the Americans ran up to Baghdad. The problem is that the last time they in fact did that, about a half a million Chinese came heading south. So the agent responsible is Bejing. They want international standing? They want respect? Here's a golden opportunity.

#10  They bitch about stuff like this, but I think we all know they won't do jack shit about it. The world body doesn't even have the belly to fight terrorism, much less an enemy that is "dug in".

#9  What this doesn't mention is that entire families can be imprisoned for the act of a single member. A lot of this info has been out there for years.

Another reason Shep is that the MSM is, once again, providing Kimmie-boy-the-baby-killer cover by not reporting *any* of this. When was the last time you saw a negative report of North Korea in the mainstream media? Nope the MSM is too busy covering a un-airconditioned room in GITMO or a blonde bimbo who gets herself in trouble in Aruba - no time to cover the murder and genetic / chemical / biological exprimentation on millions (including babies).

They don't care. And when this finally comes to light (and it will) they will all blame Bush (why did he waste his time in Iraq - look what was happening in North Korea).

And the so-called Human Rights agencies? Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch? Odd how they are almost silent about this. They hardly report any of this. That must be one hell of a unconditioned room in GITMO.

South Korea, with its 'Sunshine policy' is also involved. You can bet your ass they probably know about it and ignore the abuses.

I wonder... did Clinton's administration know about this when Madam halfbright visited her pal Kimmie and sign that worthless agreement? I think she and Clinton did know - but willfully ignored it.

After all North Korea is a socialist's wet dream and these are, after all, only peasants and people of no concenquence.

#8  yep, this is f*cking sick, I hate even thinking about it. Torturing innocent little babies churns my chest cavity. Burn in hell Mr. Kim, you, your henchmen, and all your sympathizers.

#6  Little new. This info has been out for several years, though injecting babies with chem/bio is new. Previous reports had newborns of inmates being smashed against the ground or thrown in refuse boxes to die of exposure. The Nork SS must have thought: why not get some use out of the counterrevolutionary brats before they throw them into the compost pile. Remember 3 generations on a family are taken prisoner for the thought crimes of an individual.

The work/death camps are huge. There were satellite photos circulating a few years back. The combined yearly death rate of all the camps was estimated at 20-25%.

#2  yeah yeah we could do something about it, we could but we wont. Whats that differant here then from Saddams Iraq, the scale of it is larger yes, organised better, yes probably but im sorry this is once more more wishfull thinking that the world will have the balls to stand up to these types. As we have all seen over the last 3 years or so only a select few countries have the will and balls to actually do anything about these types of rouge states. Unfortunatly that has been destroyed by incredably bad and bias media representation of the Iraq war with the constant screams of quagmire. Yep thanks to our own medias and leftist groups countries like North Korea are now forever destined to be ruled over by nut cases with absolutly no intervention from the outside world. Yep it sucks badly but hell, we bought it all on ourselves. If back at the start of the iraq war a proper pro war/intervention campaign could have been created then yeah things wouldnt be as hopeless as they are now. For example if mobs had of been formed to storm and enter the likes of Time magazine and the BBC and rooters and shut down thier propaganda for the enemys, if AL-jizz offices in the western world had have been stormed and ransacked and burnt down. You get what im saying im sure, failure by all of us, myself and everybody else who supports intervention have failed everyone that needed our support. Fckin sucks i know and yes theres still a very faint glimmer of hope that one day the over 50% of the populations of our country that do actually want to change the world might be able to something about it one day but as this last three years have proven putting pen to paper even with the likes of VDH and people here at rantburg will not and can not change the media bias, people power and force is the only viable way left and i for one am up for well up for the force option, whos with me? I got a BBC office near me in Southampton thats ripe for a ransacking and takeover......
