INSIDER INSINUATES THAT NORTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT MAY BE CORRUPT
March 13 2010
Vienna, Austria – Corruption in government is nothing new. In fact, up until the 20th century corruption was the norm, embedded in the culture of power and politics. In many nations throughout the world deep and severe corruption exists and even in modernized governments like the United States incidents of kickbacks and sexual 
indiscretion are common. However, the growing power of the people and the dissemination of information on a scale that the world has never seen before means that most extreme expressions of corruption are that much harder to get away with, and thus simply don’t happen.
While extreme abuses do occur in the Third World, specifically sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia, very few countries see the kind of blood-letting that ancient nations had to endure. Most of those nations are well known, their abuses played out on the world stage, but for a rare few enigmatic countries such abuses have apparently gone unseen. A case in point is North Korea, one of the most exotic and mysterious nations on the planet which for years has been a perplexing and tantalizing puzzle of a nation. Now however a former insider with the government of the elusive nation is dishing the dirt on her regime and her head of state, displaying for the world to see his role in what may be one of the more corrupt nations on the planet.
“I purchased luxury cars, carpets and gold-plated handguns. Mercedes, Lincolns, Cadillacs, whatever the dear leader wanted I bought for him. I spent twenty years flying around Europe purchasing whatever desire the regime wanted while the people of the nation starved,” said former North Korean government shopper Col. Kim Jong Ryu. “I also purchased arms, planes, spy equipment and everything else that one could imagine to build the empire. Meanwhile the people of the country received no money, no medical aid, a great many of them had no clean drinking water while all the time the leaders lived in the lap of luxury.”
Kim, who now lives in Austria, has documented his services to the North Korean government in a book ominously titled ‘In the Service of Dictators’.
“Everyone expects some level of abuse from government officials, whether rightly or wrongly, but the type of things we are talking about here take the cake. There are stories now of cannibalism in certain areas of the country as the leaders are importing caviar from Moscow and Bordeaux from Paris. If such accusations prove to be true, much of the mystery and allure of that nation will have undoubtedly been lost forever,” said Scrape TV North Korean analyst Lee Joo-Chan. “I have spent many years observing the North from afar and I can tell you that I have never seen these types of abuses personally. However, Colonel Kim has written a book which has been vetted by two researchers which is means it is pretty much gospel. I mean people don’t just write books for no reason.”
Kim reportedly wrote the book at great peril to his family still living in Korea, raising concerns that the government in the country might actually be violent.
“For so many years the assumption was that the reason the country was so secluded, that it was so secretive, was because they had some great mystery to protect, that it was perhaps some kind of grand Valhalla on Earth but if these accusations are accurate, they may have been protecting much darker secrets,” continued Lee. “This certainly bears more research on my part. I can’t imagine that a person would go to the trouble of writing a book and going on a promotional tour for no reason. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire and this requires greater investigation.”
North Korean officials, as expected, remained mysterious and aloof about the accusations.
