everyone has to adapt themselves to their life is no difference than a man
in society young man he goes in the military but in the military you don't
have no freedom you're on duty 24 hours a day and you have to adapt yourself to
the organizational life so it's the same with leaving one country and going to
another country one has to adapt himself first you might find it rather difficult
with those little x pass
it's not a hard thing to do
Korea is the Cold War's final frontier and john its most visible symbol of
continued division here along the Korean Demilitarized Zone nearly two million
soldiers still faced each other
ready for war at any time the DMZ was described by president clinton is the
scariest place on earth
1953 experience the first hand the brutal reality in the Cold War a clash
of ideologies that devastated pencil and divided into the state
yeah
the Korean War was one of the most vicious of the 20th century an estimated
four million people many of them civilians were killed and three years of
fighting the us-led the support for the south while the North was backed by the
red Alliance the Soviet Union newly Communist China hostilities ended with
Korea still split along the 38th parallel but a peace treaty has never
been signed the korean war became known in the West as the Forgotten War in
North Korea is the victoria's fatherland liberation war the war left an indelible
stain on the psyche of both sides in North Korea the indiscriminate bombing
and tales of atrocity of us are seen as examples of the aggressive and criminal
nature of us imperialism in the West counter stories atrocities on civilians
mistreatment of prisoners of war was proof of the evils of communism the
grocer experience of Korea confirmed too many in the u.s. that the spread of
communism was to be prevented at all costs
yeah
throughout the nineteen fifties inherent duty of every honorable American was to
be anti-communist this is side views on the news stories of the unusual and the
commonplace at the present time i'm in the home of mr. CT Overstreet who is the
foster father of james joseph Dresner the twenty-year-old PFC who reportedly
are we probably should say allegedly has defected to the North Korean communist
what can use after 43 years

could always find the cheer of dependency design
I was son of a workers family my father was a worker my mother was a housewife
and they fought like cats and dogs she wanted to be free so we left she stayed
in the bars and on the streets day and night you slept eat and drink everything

old folks home in the city itself and click to be there

and when I say is shown ways be it would be wakeboarders club and we just hit it
off everybody know yet what we hit it off so well that's funny Jeter how
people can change yesterday told me that he was affectionately known to his
foster children as big Papa and I think we can certainly appreciate that the
part was a Presbyterian preacher he own this home to these kids and we really
had nowhere else to go he was fair stern if you did wrong you get punished but
back in the fifties everybody is our plan
young the native absolutely nothing I had nothing to call his own was on his
back he may just take them off since closed just here so y'all had been
Catholic rave compare full-fledged America he was bitter against confident
and that long as he lived he wanted to fight
drives knock was not only child of the Cold War but also a child of the South
enlisted for military service on the seventeenth birthday for me at that
point was only option for your kid with little or no education living in in the
circumstances in which he found himself
the military in general is a place in which an awful lot of kids in traffic
situation have found their salvation have found their there will provides a
father figure for kids black thought to be a free land but really you're not
it's tighter
as I'm Joe it's going straight that this is the military could get some training
some education
I thought he was going on the way I needed on leave from basic training
dress not propose to a girl he recently met in church marriage would help erase
the memories of his childhood abandoned in marin good idea so I went out to the
home the american little big Murray japanese army of home . the master
server

Drezner soon received orders to his posting West Germany at the time he
returned he discovered the two years serving his country overseas had taken
its toll on his marriage

hands on a prostitute already girl for the simple fact that I loved her she ran
off i mentioned because our with you just to a broken heart

why have swore in my life a doubly bad children
with his marriage over there is not immediately reenlisted in May 1962 he
was posted to south korea time I left richmond i was if I died or lived
hunting gear the Korean War still fresh in everyone's memories
add to all intents and purposes never ended the Armistice had established a
demilitarized zone dmz a 2.5 mile deep buffer filled with landmines that ran
the hundred and fifty mile with of Korea cutting off north from South
but the piece remain fragile and mutual hatred continue to exist along the 38th
parallel it seemed inevitable that sooner or later one side would invade
enforce it system and ideology on the other
yeah
long before Vietnam Korea was the Cold War's frontline flashpoint in Asia and
America's most visible commitment in the war on coming
I had always thought that the fighting and stop that i found out on the DMZ
didn't they were still they were still going
yeah
the DMC was a worsen when they were regular incursions across that line by
this the North Koreans and people were getting killed the time the trust was
there the hazards to someone walking the line but very real you're being attacked
at night by North Koreans laminators and so forth the foraging dmg made it very
difficult because the guys come within a range you know you're there to the
negative this was what it was engineer trade little wider that said okay you're
on this side around the South you're on that side down to North and that's all
we have and that's how you walk your patrol on the North Koreans felt in a
bad mood or they wanted to see if they could inflict any punishment they would
change it would take to take move back or maybe even move it forward and now we
have a shot you could say hey our side
yeah
good slept ate and train everything in the DMZ himself during your a week to be
on ambush controls the runabout 55 to 60 and which controls during that week
during the week a man about six outpost 24 hours a day back to the reaction
force during see weeks train at one day often which are over again
south korea was a desperately poor country struggling to rebuild after the
devastation of war for GIS every little variety during on duty hours most
invariably spent their time in local villages the entertainment was aimed at
Americans with dollars to spend
they all had a girlfriend on the bill and these little ladies of the night
would entertain them at any time so they're big thing was get off duty and
get down the ability to live good you gotta live it up and that's where all my
money went after being divorced I tried to make up every minute and every second
that I to spend the last chance the lakes across the river more women and we
had men in our entire battalion or more prostitutes commander are welcoming
speech from him said the man you're left with mango right

everybody was the lunch i had the road

everybody wants to live if I said it didn't matter i am but at the time
life wasn't so precious and when I stepped into the minefield and I've seen
with my own eyes I started sweat i crossed of looking for my new life

i followed underemployed samba it is a definite I'm gonna get hurt

head out with its place and get this over there in time doable assessing them
blindfolded me right there tied me right then the hell we want
well I figured he was at some time he's gonna come back and he was gonna claim
that he was hunting and got the wrong side of the tape and they capture so I
thought if he comes back with that lame excuse
I'm gonna hang up I'm kind of court-martial that guy when he got back
well how long's that been now 43 years they put me in a room model of what it
was
couldn't see I was her for one day then I come to pinion of course under guard
at that stage I was a BMW i went into interrogation immediately I am bidden
soffit long enough to know that it's the only thing I could tell them which they
already knew was the position of the company or administration or personnel I
could tell them that atomic weapons and whether i know they're there but whether
I'll i didn't know the interrogation went for quite a while then they
realized well it's true he wasn't there long enough to know it
yeah
as hellish as North Korea looks from the outside folks now the demonization place
back then so complete that too to make that leap with children it's
inconceivable
north korea was viewed by the US has a puppet of the Soviet Union country was
led by a revolutionary was committed to reunified Korea by force if necessary
here he was known and revered as comrade Kim his song the great leader is present
everywhere him Hillsong declared that the u.s. was the illegal occupier of
South Korea and the sworn enemy of the Korean people dress . was isolated and
in the hands of a people unswerving in their hatred of the US was surrounded by
anti-american imagery nothing he resembled the life he had left behind
that's not dressed not their house call me i don't mind i didn't believe myself
shut them again I must be dreaming I opened again and looked and who the hell
are you
he says I map sure sure I don't know after this is larry allen sure you
didn't see in the newspapers
oh yes now I remember
sure grew up with family problems simmered mile but the other people that
were taking care of him supporting very good had a little trouble in south korea
with marijuana is caught on five or six times he always had VD there were going
to court-martial more to come out of the army he was fed up with the social life
too I guess
instead of going back to his old life just come up with DPRK
private apertures defection in May 1962 was the first fine American since the
Korean War three months later he was joined by private first class dress
knock embarrassingly for the US Army the two men became minor celebrities in
North Korea but even worse was to follow in December 1963 when specialist for
Jerry Wayne parish Henderson Kentucky simply disappeared from a routine Border
Patrol parish had family problems to have a stepfather which was an alcoholic
always be the mother and the children and the stepfather thought he was having
sexual relations with his steps which was he said a lot and he told me if I
ever come home he'd kill him
I figure he got information i'm sure myself crossing over inside of them
well they're happy as he could be happy to 3g is now defected to the Communists
and 18 months
publicly the US Army absolved itself responsibility for these defections
these men were low ranking soldiers report backgrounds and broken homes had
been unable to adapt to life in the military but the North Korean saw an
opportunity with each defection they had acquired a higher rank their military
council now raise the stakes for claiming that financial rewards await
those willing to bring weapons and information over in january $MONTH 1965
Sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins non-commissioned officer from rich
square north carolina abandon the nighttime patrol he was leading and took
his m14 rifle to North Korea North Koreans could never have imagined that
for soldiers of the hated imperialist enemy would voluntarily and separately
across to their side in such a short period of time the defection of an
officer was presented to the north korean population as proof of communism
superiority over us imperialism
leaving and I'm going to become happy people back
I'm feeling baby boy that included hope you haven't even told me . i don't even
have any reliable be connected . what i see niggas in the newspaper the first
time
isn't that why doesn't hold starts at like him come to North Korea it look
like a grandfather is wrinkles were deep from the time he was young and come to
find out it was about a year old with her myself I deserting the army all four
men had whether they intended to or not signed up to the Communist cause their
decision to defect may have been taken spontaneously but the act was
irreversible but what could these Americans who had all dropped out of
high school possibly contribute to the socialist revolution
these were people that were golden gifts to the North Koreans by blowing them up
as if you know these were people who saw the light and wanted to live under the
mantle of camels leadership the US government i think was very sensitive
about this they did not want publicity on these guys and they still don't mean
I don't think now it's a conscious thing but it in the sixties i think it was
quite conscious to play down and hide these defections because they were they
were more embarrassing to the united states that you might think
right we can hear the loud speakers with red stop it was absolutely appalling
that he would do this and turn on the whole United States Army the modern 89
cat more North Korea will get you everything and give your money will give
your women have everything every day or every week we could hear he was telling
us you know you had a lot of girls you know treating them like raleigh when you
was lies but the younger kids that you just kind of a basic and every teen
really took it for heart and we're afraid that some of them might actually
say hey this is a good life
let's go over
yeah
the defectors became integral cards in a propaganda machine producing a mirage an
anti-us material that was sent across the DMZ to GIS in the South was
obviously some a written script for him he was put on your line of shit
foundling from lala land communist North Koreans would use people for what they
can get out i'm no smarter than any other soldier but I was smart enough to
noble and there was a dance all you're gonna do is be a slave we took great
pride in it if the people look at it with the sun shades off the cell it's
really true the propaganda campaign may have seemed an innocuous offense to the
defectors but if they return to the US they face lengthy prison terms for
desertion and aiding the enemy the form and soon began to wonder whether they
had made the biggest mistake of their lives they really stay in north korea is
alien communist land and definitely was their way of life simply incompatible I
was a little uncomfortable a different race a different color different customs
a different ideology I was afraid they wouldn't let me say what I really wanted
to say the uneasiness of the way people look at me when I walked down the street
there goes that American bastard and it gives me the ass
they hate americans for the bombing campaigns for atrocities that were
carried out in the north and they hated them on a racial basis they have a
unique homogeneous population namely their Koreans are the best people in the
world and everyone else is judged by the fact that Korea and i can imagine in the
sixties that these defectors were surprised to find out the level of
hatred Americans on the other hand here these prized defectors that the North
Koreans make huge propaganda campaign out of you
would think they would treat them like kings
I didn't want to stay i didn't think i could adapt in 1966 for Americans tried
to escape both Korea and an enormous risk collectively saw the silent in the
Soviet embassy
if the Soviets accepted them they hope to be sent to Russia if they refused
consequences were too dire to contemplate we thought because they were
white people to accept
the Russians didn't treat us good but then you come here for
and they tried to persuade us to stay in north korea they notify the green
government personnel came and your brushes can take up that i didn't
believe the Korean government will punish us for that date educate
the great leader comrade kim moo-sung said we will take them along with us to
come
it might be a different race that might be a different color but got to have an
almost sit down and i'm going to learn their way of life
I did everything I could learning language learning customs learned their
greetings their life things like this that act like this
I've studied their GJ idea their evolutionary history their lofty perches
about the great leader
studied most of the work of parties analysis writing studies the same as a
cream
they would be completely responsible for our life than one thing I really
accepted was man is the master of his life i read with this version of duty
idea this was rather touching little by little I become to understand
yeah
although at the time economically ahead of the South North Korea remained a
developing country and living conditions lag far behind America all involvement
in propaganda was suspended following the incident at the Soviet embassy
confined to their own private world began to wonder if they had outlived
their usefulness if they had no value they had no future several minders from
the korean people's army were assigned to them these political guides could
verify their continued education as far as living the life lycra at that time it
was rather ridiculous they told us the best thing personal safety right now
until the people begin to understand you and you be able to understand our people
is to live rather restricted type of life we didn't live in barbed-wire
fences and we didn't have parents our guides would come and lead you can say
actually he was like the surface of course is the party servant they always
tell us anything you feel you need or you want to do just let me know he'll
arrange
the first years we didn't do nothing
the standard was fishing and drinking parties we pass time we read some books
novels the works of the great leader we got in the river and take our swims lay
in the sun and smoked cigarettes
we always talk about home
it's funny everyone leaves home the first thing that's done talked about his
home
what we go out where general dress like a gentleman act like it's in there were
no joke and laugh and keep your mouth shut
listen to foreign broadcasts is infiltration of foreign culture i might
ask one of the guides what's going on the outside world if you wanted to tell
me he would tell me if it didn't it didn't just start me out of all the
world they had left behind was changing beyond recognition
the Americans were cut off with little to do but study the works of Camille
song and government policy from this isolation emerged the inherent flaws in
their friendship everyone got along good until in 1965 when tickets come over
everything went to his clique he tried to push everyone around like he's
pulling rank in the army
sure and Paris they like that they become friends with him immediately
I don't go through them i take my uniform off when I cross the line
I didn't consider myself military noble and nobody I don't care who he was he's
not coming up to me and tell me I'll do this and I'll do that i didn't just
nobody's that and I wasn't kissing this they threw me out for Jenkins gonna be
like they're atonement and the future better realize the only didn't live long
enough to realize that
what
one day trying to push me around with his so-called right there was two blows
I him and that the ground
he wanted to attack me back but i think the slap on the face was enough to
settle them down
I rather not make any more statements on changes the more I think about him the
more I guess I 1972 the Americans reeducation was considered advanced
enough to be granted North Korean citizenship in return for the state
allocating them housing food rations and transportation they would now go into
society and work for the revolution their biggest contribution came in 1978
with her starring roles in a propaganda film epic set in the Korean War which
would transform their standing in North Korea from hated Americans to national
heroes
I never thought of ever playing in a movie
first of all I thought I didn't have the talent though I found out I could meet
the demands of the directors remember tools 11 National Command Coon would
enjoy your respectable
how good's all the touching actually prepare taxes good talker brilliant
article . john thomas aqui y or y is minus a so either get colchicine
general is kim jongmin kim il-sung's son and future successor who took a
particular interest in movies
according to Kim Jong Il's published guidance cinematic art could only be
created and developed revolutionary consciousness among the people nameless
heroes was a prime example
kim jong-il Cinematic Arts released over a three-year period and 20 parts long
this iconic film depicts Americans as evil schemers South trains as their
puppets and North Korean agents curious battling against them all towards and
ultimately i don't consider the propaganda movie why it's based on the
main facts of a man who carried out his espionage activities in south korea so
in order to catch this man every means possible
we used the enemy
I checked great honor and doing it
mr. um you've got the four Americans were each assigned a character capture
was called a subordinate to to evil Americans parish was Louis a British
officer who detested the imperialist occupation of his native Northern
Ireland Jenkins was kelton the evil mastermind andresmok was Arthur Cox said
the brutal commander and a poww can either Clarke's third is one that had to
be done and I was willing to do i'm pleased to meet you all and your guess
on my negative doesn't have anything please honey irrigation torturing
cross-questioning and if necessary assumed you lay this parish and myself
the best to sure the freezes a little is like stiffen exactly Jenkins he did a
good job in that last part is that so they picked the right man cutting
son-of-a-bitch that way he carried out the role perfectly
I don't believe I could do many more acting roles followed for the defectors
typecast as evil Americans they became stars the North Korean silver screen to
this day dress knock is known in North Korea as Arthur is nameless heroes
character's name app sure we're not sharing the success in 1983 he died of a
heart attack he was just 40 years old
despite their common backgrounds the three remaining defectors are growing
apart has not comparison could converse in Korean Jenkins could rarely make
himself understood their friendship was fraught especially because Jenkins
having brought an m4 to North Korea was entitled to more rations at the
popularity of nameless heroes had changed their lives by playing evil
Americans adhere to the cinematic art demanded by kim jong ill it established
their revolutionary credentials
the hardest part so much wonder was wondering all right
undo this random to himself a lot but I'm along my congrats or something like
it to think about general ramble just like this to myself on the ceiling
wondering why I didn't know what I was till he tells me on over but you always
personal talk and it was a deer
Dhoni to you happy birthday teaching okay good boy you are
pickles we like a simple birthday we don't believe in rushing to restaurants
and trying to make something fancy
we're simple people and we like a simple life the birthday is not the very
important thing in life the most important thing is for people to be
satisfied with their life and to lead a happy life
yeah
I've talking foreign language college of 1986 i poured all my knowledge and
effort to help them to teach them
some other places and the educational fields they invite me to give a lecture
once well i'm not very educated so I cave mainly conversation and she
lectures VA our inboxes spa happy no matter once and throw today on not spot
this is spinning this foreign studies and foreign I wish to someone who would
like to study foreign conference is like the weapon soldier seventy or eighty
percent of all the information stored in the electronic media is starting English
so for scientists and those people who want to keep up with the latest change
is essential to have a good command of English language
in America none of the defectors and graduated high school in North Korea
their children were rolled in Pyongyang delete foreign language college
yeah
I take great pride in having my son college because I no friends anymore I
don't believe the fire was worker afforded and everyone dreams
oh if I could only only send my children to college and have them to develop
better than me and this has been solved
I know he will work in a field where he'll be using his language Brazil Cup
government sent are we the talent to arbitrate boundary just get between
friends and that's why Anna I start to long list to become implement I'd like
to make the world which has no world at all
a notarial that's what really wow I love you
my father is American and I've got the American blood but as I barn here I
consider myself a screw the children of the Americans may regard themselves as
Korean a study revolutionary history and the exploits of Kim il-sung and kim jong
ill but their official papers identify them as American in the nineteen
nineties North Korea experience severe food shortages and famine which hundreds
of thousands possibly millions died from starvation perhaps surprisingly to an
outsider the Americans fared better than most during this period which is known
in North Korea as the arduous March but the country continues to experience
electricity shortages blackouts and reliance on aid
these Americans accept the official line that the blame for their situation lies
with the American governments imperialist policies and how had these
Western looking kids become children of the revolution you no changes were
married to a Japanese parish is married to lebanese a half she was married to a
Korean and I was married to normal
I thought it was the happiest man in the world when I met her I walked into the
former section of the new restaurant
this brunette was sitting at the table i went completely crazy doctor come on i'm
low your loan
let's make a pair i had two sons by her headdress lock and James stress on what
a woman
she made me 20 years older than I really was then wonder whether she was sick and
five months
one day later she passed away
dreadknots current wife was born out of a relationship between a Korean and a
togolese diplomat who promptly return to Africa I didn't have any idea for
another marriage i figured the tumor big enough i could raise but it's not that
easy but one day I just have to pop up in the only restaurant and it was a
little difficult just not a very talkative woman talking like that or
not- that they butt against I got coming up
yeah
mom but as you can see it's very good and you see we had a beautiful than the
Sun and weirder get a lot of very good
what no is she talking like during the course of filming this project
allegations came to the fore that all the Americans were married to women who
had been brought to North Korea against their will and the dreadknots first wife
in North Korea was a Romanian kidnapped from Italy
dres knock was reluctant to discuss his first wife in North Korea refused to
confirm where she was from and never volunteer to photograph over
I could say she's European I'd get her drunk and ask em shut up
don't ask no questions after so many times I quit could incur stories emerged
that after his wife was from thailand and not Koreans dress not consistent and
the parish had married a woman kidnapped from the Middle East know his wife was
living in Lebanon huh
she come here on a tour and then they met but he got too tight and made
apartment so they got married and she was pregnant the first time she went
home
our grandfather went crazy and my mother said well if you're pregnant or actually
mad
however implausible her story seems to a westerner parishes wife maintains that
she initially came in North Korea from Lebanon as a tourist
I don't see one was the strange because I believe that people are the world
think I'm a good not good i'm not my family and my government they're all my
time in queer I'm not secret in Korea and I'm free
yeah i got me on my own I wasn't first I wasn't too kidnapped
I did all on my own my thinking is my design
Paris's wife still lives in Pyongyang all three of their sons have attended
the foreign language university the eldest served in the Korean People's
Army parishes children never seen photographs of their fathers a young boy
had no concept of the country where he had grown up having suffered kidney
disease for 20 years parents died in 1998 he was 54 years old
after Paris died seconds i was little closer
not that i really appreciated them but we were the only two Americans left here
and though living next-door teatime
yes
to tell the truth i visited his house to listen to stories which I have hurt so
so many times I let the full talk
in 1980 Jenkins was asked to teach English to Japanese woman
six weeks later they were married she was 21
he was 40 unlike Jenkins she had not voluntarily come to North Korea take his
wife
yes I knew when she had complete faith in us
she told us you know you just don't go around broadcast I was kidnapped from
Japan and now I hear the whole world knows it is true she was kidnapped from
Japan put in a bag but a small motor boat motor boat without to another boat
and she carried from there too
her in Jenkins they got along good
hey you was a kind of woman that could adapt herself her biggest problem was
her husband told she wasn't satisfied me stupid but nobody ever tall
I think you know what
one night we were dancing seconds he see me run my fingers into her pants and
from then on we were you had to account only my fingers about that far down to
that time she come to our house and visiting we talked and we drink coffee
and play cards listen to music drink wine but after that non 24 years after
her abduction Jenkins wife was allowed to return to Japan she refused to go
back to North Korea it transpired that she had been kidnapped in a bizarre plot
to have North Korean spies trained in Japanese language and customs as a
deserter from the US Army Jenkins faced extradition and prosecution if he ever
set foot in Japan he remained in Pyongyang with their daughters he only
had one thing on his mind I've got to get there
how am I going to get there the family separation became a major political
issue in Japan during this time dress knock introduce Jenkins to our film crew
this is my friend told Robert Jenkins I know for a long time
this is my friend James Joseph does back and I've known him 30 90 this was
jenkins first contact with Westerners since his defection in 1965 had no idea
when or even if you would see his wife again the North Korean authorities
consider this initial meeting too sensitive to the film but he was also
keen to tell his story
wow if it don't work out good i am going to put this
all over I'm happy where I am guard 60000 has a party and got him up but
what something like don't read that didn't come from money and get him over
surely that going
frankly the Americans admitted they were not close friends
I don't like him when he's drinking against his mouth running and never
stops
he said sarin he dreams up things about the government at first I say yet not to
say I agree with you he told it to our guide doesn't have the same opinion I
have somewhat and they believed him because he was so sincere in everything
he tried to shoot us down make us look low and build himself up the old
American saying is sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt
me
the Government of Japan and North Korea finally agreed the Jenkins family to
meet in Indonesia which have no extradition treaty with the United
States they've been separated for two years
he was already told if he stays increase these ingredients because panels and the
Korean government doesn't when he went to Indonesia he promised to green
government that he was going to return got there stay with a few days of these
chords play upon his arrival in Tokyo Jenkins was immediately hospitalized
Japanese public sympathy girl
Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi personally urged President Bush to be
lenient on Jenkins but with US soldiers serving and dying in Iraq and
Afghanistan leniency for a deserter is considered unlikely above it
who cares before turning himself in Jenkins played his final car exclusive
interview with an American journalist the motivation for doing an interview
was to say here's what my life is like in North Dakota you wanted them to be
lenient on having a criminal case dress not was interviewed one week after the
article was published and had no idea its content tell me exactly what the
news is
if he makes all against against me that aren't true then i must condemn him
this is beyond belief
no I believe I believe he would say and act like when he would do something at
the North Korean government without like he said was knockin would eat him he's
big and he's a beater he likes to be people who hear a dream of possibly
tying up a man in PG i can count every fight on one and Charles describe this
is more than 30 times over the course of those years he's on life trying to save
his ass
I hope he gets as much time in prison as he claims I peaches ass he had a tattoo
on his arm of to cross rifles with the words US Army below it and he said that
the North Koreans cut the US Army add his arm without anesthesia candidly
about the battles of the North Koreans allegedly held European and Middle
Eastern people against their will and those people had had children and those
children were going to be used in North Korea's spy program
no breathes spies know if this is ridiculous quite ridiculous
do you think the green government would make our chicken spots we can speculate
having agents that don't look korean but have allegiance the regime would be
value

holidays without the worry

I was sitting here a while ago thinking about Jenkins I've never seen a man that
makes a mistake that doesn't think about his past
I kind of feel sorry for him but he could be here with us now I think
behind bars not enjoying nothing
his features not so bright and you'll think about here got my mouth I'm sure
is children will enjoy it very much today I feel sorry for them more than
anyone
they have no future here they had a future you won't forget us
I'm ready to show the world at any time but it wasn't one yourself
I think you know alice in wonderland well I just wonder if it's not Jenkins
in wonderland
I don't accept his things whatsoever if you look at more of a story i had a
naked woman here

the social society and I made my own decision i went to the hospital and cut
off here i have another American army tattoo I had us here too
I run around in the Korean society with us on my arm
no my constants didn't prevail this and I decided no one decided for me and no
one decided for him he did it himself upon his release from prison Jenkins
joined his wife from the japanese island from where she had been kidnapped
it was a love story that captivated the public in japan his autobiography was
published but only in Japanese
Jenkins continue to speak of his miserable life in North Korea and
beatings by drezna his children being groomed to be spies dress knocks sole
source of knowledge of these allegations was through our forum curl frz comparing
