#camp14

Should someone compare the current survival methods to Darwin’s theory? 

How do the prisoners react to the rest of the world? 

Do you believe the punishments the prisoners had to endure were because of rehabilitation or simply the guards overusing their power of authority? 

Harsi – Bonfire Night

The first Bonfire Night at Pagara had set sort of a benchmark in terms of landscape. So, once that ride was done, we strained our memories to come up with a destination which would not let us down. Harsi a reservoir in the district Shivpuri, near Narwar and around 70 km from Gwalior was the first choice. The lake has ample open space around its periphery, with little vegetation, with quite a few…

Escape from Camp 14, what a harrowing and captivating read. I purchased this book after a recommendation from a friend and what a real eye opener. I was aware of the horrendous state North Korea was (and still is) in but holy shit, after reading this book I was left gobsmacked. This book is a true account of a young boy called Shin who was born in a labour camp after his parents were imprisoned for so called crimes against the Kim dynasty. Where I spent my childhood climbing trees and building dens, this young boy was going through similar experiences that the Nazis enforced in their concentration camps. It goes on talk about his gruelling childhood filled with beatings, torture, back stabbing and degrading sessions and this continues right up until his mid 20’s when he eventually escapes after learning about the outside world from two influential men called Uncle and Park. The inhumane experiences that I have just described only scratches the surface of what this poor chap and other humans were made to go through. 

If you’ve read 1984 you’ll understand the anger it generates when you read it. Well, this is very much the same but a true story. There are heaps of pictures of that chubby buffoon Kim Jong Il across the social media world right now but people need to understand what he and his family have done and continue to do. Families are taken from their homes and imprisoned or murdered. It was all over the news recently after Kim Jong Il apparently executed one of his advisers (by means of anti-aircraft shells) for disobeying orders, how mental can one be?

Im not going to go off on a tangent about how barbaric and inhuman the Kim Regime is, you can see that for yourself but on the off chance that you read this piece I would ask that you take a moment to think about what some people are going through this very moment. Cheers,
