| Hat tip to the Instapundit. You're not surprised that North Korea works this way, are you? |
North Korea has blackmailed dozens, if not hundreds, of politicians, journalists and businessmen after seducing them with female agents, a former elite North Korean official has revealed.
In a scheme called "the seed-bearing programme", high-level visitors to Pyongyang would be sent an attractive consort, only to find out several months later that they have a child in North Korea. Politicians would then be blackmailed to pass legislation favouring North Korea or to increase aid. Journalists would be asked to write positive stories and businessmen urged to set up joint ventures with local companies.
The scheme was dreamed up and put into action by Lil' Kim Kim Jong-il, the father of present-day North Korean leader Fat Boy Kim Jong-un, according to Jang Jin-sung, the official poet to the North Korean regime and one of the elite few known as "The Admitted" before he defected in January 2004. |
