Analysts believe North Korea has one of the most aggressive biochemical weapons programmes
When Im Chun-yong made his daring escape from North Korea, with a handful of his special forces men, there were many reasons why the North Korean government was intent on stopping them.
They were, after all, part of Kim Jong-il's elite commandos - privy to a wealth of military secrets and insights into the workings of the reclusive regime.

But among the accounts they carried with them is one of the most shocking yet to emerge – namely the use of humans, specifically mentally or physically handicapped children, to test North Korea's biological and chemical weapons.
"If you are born mentally or physically deficient, says Im, the government says your best contribution to society… is as a guinea pig for biological and chemical weapons testing."
Even after settling into the relative safety of South Korea, for 10 years Im held on to this secret, saying it was too horrific to recount.
But with Kim's health reportedly failing, and the country appearing increasingly unpredictable, Im felt it was time he spoke out.
Daughter given up

The former military captain says it was in the early 1990s, that he watched his then commander wrestle with giving up his 12-year-old daughter who was mentally ill.
The commander, he says, initially resisted, but after mounting pressure from his military superiors, he gave in.
Im watched as the girl was taken away. She was never seen again.
One of Im's own men later gave him an eyewitness account of human-testing.
Asked to guard a secret facility on an island off North Korea's west coast, Im says the soldier saw a number of people forced into a glass chamber.
"Poisonous gas was injected in," Im says. "He watched doctors time how long it took for them to die."

This is what you get when a government has power over a populace,
and said government places no value on human life.

Not too far removed from some stuff going on a little closer to home eh?

Unchecked this is the kind of stuff you get.

Getting too old for national health care, your time has come
you've had a good run, better off to die so the younger can
have it. Don't think so?, look at England.

Looks like a simple airbase of some kind. The runway is large enough for transports so I'm betting that may be part of the tunnel network they have. Maybe even one that goes under the DMZ. There is definately something in that hill.

LOGAN'S RUN !!!!! Wow, I never thought I'd see a reference to THAT movie.
But, why not? When your number comes up, just get out of the way for the next generation. Especially when your country can afford Nukes but not food.
