@stevejohnson6593 Год назад

Torture is at it's best when you don't even use physical violence (I suppose even more so when the victim expects physical abuse). Locking people up in completely lightless cells, in cells where there is no noise but the prisoner's at all, are effective ways to mess with the perception and sanity of a person, and it is so simple.. We are dependend on some sensual input to sustain ourselves. (unless you'd phrase this way different..) There's also a funky one where you'd restrain a person and then let single water drops hit the same spot on that person repeatedly - initially nothing much, but the 'sustained' pressure on the tissue will (after many hours) cause severe pain to the victim.

Plus it's also possible that he'll have to exaggerate the content in favor of the US/S.Korea narratives.

You should know that many North Korean defectors make up stories to make more money. He wasn't even thirty years old and was elite spy? He was able to regularly ask people in another department if they were torturing Warmbier but doesn't know the reason of his death? How believable it is North Korean officer would be frustrated because Warmbier didn't know Korean? Of course he didn't know Korean, he was American! The reason why King Jon Un's uncle was killed has nothing to do with how he was walking with Un. No ex elite spy would speak publicly without at least blurring his face considering he is supposed to have his mother there. There are even more inconsistencies from his previous interview.

@angryyordle4640 Год назад

he can certainly make a lot of money with this, but for that he would have to sell out and tell a bunch of lies about North Korean and pro-western propaganda. The type of stuff Yeonmi Park does. But unlike Yeonmi Park, Chul-eun Lee doesn't seem to be a grifter that sells his country for profit, so he chooses to deal with the difficulty of the South Korean ruthlessly capitalistic work environment, which is one of the worst in the so called "developed" world. I have mad respect for the dude.

@Jerryfromtheblocm Год назад

In order to make large profit, you would have to probably be some poster child in the west like Yeon mi park. Milking the sob story while making Americans feel good about themselves, this dude just wants a better life which makes his story so much more refreshing and most importantly balanced. Also he is still in south korea which doesn't really give him an advantage marketing wise.

His points at the end about an exchange make a lot of sense. It would be a massive shock and difficult to deal with if everything happens too suddenly. True integration will take a long time. It would be a huge shame to go through all the effort to unify a people and country only to create even more hostility or friction between everyone because of the difficulty of mixing again. I don't know what the catalyst would be other than war but I hope it can transition to something sensible like what was mentioned.

Moral of the story: DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT to travel to North Korea if you are a US citizen or even just a US green card holder, because you will surely become an easy target for spying allegations. I personally don't see anything worth going there. For one, North Korea charges an arm & a leg for you to go there. Two, once you're in there, you're basically not left alone by the North Korean handlers (there's also a huge possibility that the hotel rooms have multiple spy cameras so they can monitor your every move, even when you're not physically with them). And lastly, you may become a political prisoner just on a whim if you've somehow pissed off any of the elites while you're there.

I had always wanted to know what really happened to OW. You could tell that he’d been tortured in some way but I couldn’t find any information on their methods. Being beaten by the guards and then chemically tortured by some sort of drug to erase his memory makes sense now, this ex-spy confirms the methods that they use. That helps me understand why OW looked the way he did and why he eventually died of his torturous injuries he sustained at the hands of his kidnappers. My condolences to his family and friends for having to live through this absolute tragedy.

What happened to OW is that he, like so many (especially young) people today, from the perspective of their Western freedom and comfort, couldn't imagine what a communist dictatorship really was. Many seem to think it's some kind of Disneyland theme park, a bit funny with its ridiculous slogans and posters, or maybe even kind of cool with its anti-capitalist and revolutionary vibes - maybe they heard about the forced labour camps, the starvation, the surveillance, but they cannot really imagine it. They cannot really imagine that a place exists where stealing a poster is enough to end your life. To me, how he actually died is of little importance - they killed him. I am deeply sorry for him in his ignorance and hope others in his generation will wake up from the phantasies they have about communism before they go about recreating it.

Also note there was no autopsy since the parents denied the procedure. Without an autopsy, the amount of analysis was extremely limited. However, it was clear there was no dental trauma, nor were there are any signs of blunt force trauma. Chemical analysis of tissues in the organs could likely have revealed anything unusual.

@casedistorted Год назад

I give this man massive respect. He seems 100% genuine and truthful with what he has experienced, and I appreciate that he isn't telling us fluff about things he doesn't know about, just what is his opinion. The fact that he could be attacked by other NA spies just for telling us these things means he is risking his life, potentially. What terrifies me the most is the biological weapons that NA could unleash just because they aren't being safe enough about it, or wanted to end all life. Those are the kinds of things that keep me up at night, especially after the global response to Covid was so botched. I love that this guy is just so thankful and happy to be out of North Korea, and appreciative of the people who have tried to support him financially so he can continue going to school and learn more. He is doing everything he can to atone for anything bad he had to do while in NA, or just to make a better life. I love his idea of economic reunification where they have an island to trade. That is such a fantastic idea to slowly mix two cultures together and change things over time. People are way more amenable to change when it's slowly I have to agree with him that going it alone with studying and working and trying to survive almost isn't possible in some places, it is so much easier with a support system, or just family to help you go at it. I really feel for the people in North Korea who probably had so much stress when the border with China shut down. I can't imagine living in NA and starving AND one of your only routes for trade is cut off, AND nobody else in the world even cares about you because you live in North Korea. I thought I would only watch the part about Otto Warmbier, but I ended up watching the entire video because it was so fascinating. I wonder if Otto's parents will also watch this interview, hoping to get more answers.

@schrodingerskatze2162 Год назад

@LeWonder Quite a lot of things... I'll give a couple of examples now and maybe I'll come back later... 1- The autopsy made in the US confirmed that Otto Warmbier did not experience physical abuse 2- There's no evidence that North Korea performs Public Executions. The source for this statement are defectors who are just speaking about it. Indeed, public executions are neither written in the Law of North Korea nor there's any material evidence (such as footage, photo, documents) suggesting that this is true. And yes, people in the DPRK have smartphones, this is easy to see if you go there, they have cameras in their phones. It's not that hard to get material evidence that public executions take place. Public executions are also a very stupid way to make the people like the government. 3- Markets have always existed in North Korea. The idea that the North Korean government and people are against Markets derives from a false narrative. North Korea has begged to join the International Markets in the 1990s when the USSR was eliminated. They need to trade and the sanctions put forward by the UN deliberately caused famine in Korea. It was not their choice, they tried really hard to not experience famine. Markets are not equivalent to Capitalism. Markets exist in Socialist countries. The workers democratically control their workplaces though. 4- There's no material evidence that Korea experiences famine as of today. They have nutritional issues associated with lack of Vitamin C (because of the sanctions). But they are not experiencing famine at all, this happened in the 90s, it has ended long ago and their caloric intake is higher than South Korea. The North Korean government often criticizes itself. For example, the North Korean government says that their main failure has to do with inequality between urban zones and rural zones. When they do experience famine: They don't try to hide it.

To beat him would be too blatant. Like he said, no one should go to NK for holiday as they can deem you a spy even when you are not. On the whole, I don't think he is really saying anything that is truly derogatory of NK.

@indigo8021 Год назад

How can you ‘literally’ be a defector?

@CandiceGoddard Год назад

@@indigo8021 I'll make two assumptions about the motive for your comment. The first that you are asking genuinely and not using low brow sarcasm. The second is that you're a English language learner. The gentleman can 'literally' be a defector because the word "defector" means: "someone who leaves a country, political party, etc., especially in order to join an opposing one:" So if, in English someone writes in a non formal English, as used in online forums and comment sections, that another person is "literally... a defector" that means that the conversational English meaning is "the person is in fact a defector" because the word 'literally' means "the basic meaning of the word". This means that literal is a synonym of words such as accurate, real, exact and so on. It is not referring to literature and is the antonym of figurative. The person is saying that the gentleman is accurately described as a defector, which is factually correct. He's not a metaphorical defector, is he? I've seen a lot of idiots on the internet getting upset because of the word "literally" even when people use it correctly. These same rotten brained imbeciles don't have any issue when they read, "I will" instead of "I shall" or "if it was" instead of "if it were". This is, IMHO because it has become fashionable to complain about this word in a similar manner to how complaining about "problematic" and "ironic" were also common tropes. Funny that no one corrected the, "I could care less" ignorance. Quite frankly your comment was incorrect in formal English too. You wrote, "How can you 'literally' be a defector?" but the OP was not writing about him or herself, he or she was referring to a third party so you should have written, "How can _one_ 'literally' be a defector?" "One" is the English language pronoun that people should use instead of "they" when referring to a non demon possessed individual who thinks that he or she is neither male nor female. Definitions from the Cambridge Dictionary. Cambridge being a university in the UK that is older than all anglophone countries except the UK having been founded in 1209.

Thank you for the insightful interview. It is disappointing to hear that after escaping North Korea and risking his life and well being doing these interviews, he still struggles financially. I'm from the US (Hawaii) so the difficulties/struggles that come with a competitive capitalist (and mostly merit based) society are no stranger to me. It is the norm and expected and I know nothing else, and despite its failings at some aspects I still believe it to be the best system overall. From what I've read and heard, South Korea sounds far more hypercompetitive from childhood to early adulthood than here. Being thrown into that kind of society after living your entire life in the complete opposite and then having to deal with the preposterous idea of paying money to getting a graduate degree in the study of your prior culture from teachers that have never experienced it while still keeping that optimism and smile and "come what may" attitude is mad admirable. Blessings on the humanitarian that's been supporting you behind the scenes and to you as well. Hope you've been checking your Paypal.

@@murraybritton6729maybe he did that to avoid NK agents. NK is also known for cyber warfare and cyber crimes, so it make sense to hide your true identity to escape capture.

This interviewer is excellent, top rate. He doesn’t get distracted, smoothly flows with the info coming in, doesn’t give his own opinion which we know must be superior, just stays cool and keeps the other talking. Masterly!

Much gratitude to those hosting this channel to bring such information to us via this interview. I thought the interview was very well done, and I thought Mr. Lee was quite impressive in the care with which he spoke (e.g., being certain to state things that were his opinion), and his choice to be quite honest and open, sharing not only his knowledge from his position in N. Korea, but also his interesting views on a path to bringing the societies together. I wish the channel well and may good fortunes come to Mr. Lee.
