I think getting outside information in would be the most effective thing.
Why? Because North Korean residents are actually living in a total control zone. They're living in a society that is totally controlled. They can't move freely, and they can't go abroad. They are in a closed environment and they are just getting the information that is coming down that has been brainwashing them since they were born about the deification of the Kims. They have nothing to compare to. They don't know what it's like out there, and they can't compare what it's like inside. We need to get information on the reality of the outside world in to the North Korean people so that they realize that this is wrong and they're living in a society that is wrong. I think that's the first step that we need to take.
Second, we need to look at how we can help the North Korean people, not the regime. The first way would be to rescue the defectors. The defectors who reached South Korea are about 28,000 in number. They're very lucky. There are many people who are in China or in Southeast Asia who want to come to South Korea but they can't come in. There are about 100,000 of them currently on the run. We need to be able to help these people to go to South Korea or to other free countries. I think that is a role that we need to play, because that also will play a part in bringing about the collapse of the regime.
I told you that there is punishment by association in North Korea. It's three generations of punishment. If someone in your family has defected then your whole family is going to be classified as people who are traitors to the country. In this situation, everyone in North Korean society, the people of North Korea will all be classified as people who are disloyal, because they know someone in their family who has defected. We definitely need to help these people to defect more and defect safely and to go into safe countries.
We need to break down the cultification, the deification of the Kims. How can we do that? I don't think it's that difficult. We need to keep our broadcasts that go into North Korea, that go on the open airwaves. We also need to keep putting pamphlets into the areas of North Korea where we can get them. We need to tell the North Korean people that these three generations of the Kim dynasty have left three generations of slavery for the North Korean people. Just by telling them the truth, I think we can change the thoughts of the North Korean people.
