Thank you.
As I expressed after hearing one of the previous witnesses from North Korea, my head spins at the testimony you are providing. I thank you both for your testimony as well as for your candour and courage in sharing these stories with us.
As an artist, I have always prided myself in the work done by my artistic colleagues and me, in the firm belief that we can change the world one poem at a time. Your testimony in regard to the tools that are being used to subjugate the people of North Korea is disheartening, to say the least. You shared with us that you yourself were part of creating poems but also novels and other forms of communication in order to contribute to the brainwashing of North Korean residents. We heard through past testimony, and you've just echoed it, that one of the things that will aid in ending this regime and this life is the information filtering in to the North Korean people. We heard how information, through television shows, is being smuggled in on thumb drives and CDs.
What other type of work is being done? It would take the same kind of work to undo, I guess, or deprogram, as you said, what is happening. You mentioned earlier the language of control. Could you elaborate a bit on what that language is and what you mean by that?
