Clean Clothes Campaign is a well-known movement at least among the people who are interested in human rights movement. It started in 1999 in Netherlands promoting against the sales of clothes made by children and youth workers in the third world countries.
Transnational corporations (TNC) such as Nike, Adidas, Reebok and other clothes sportswear brands target low wage in the world wage and build factories in such countries. The Clean Clothes Campaign indicts the TNC the reality of the labor extraction and aims to improve the working conditions for the workers and promotes rights of children and youth.
When I heard that the number of people wishing to visit Pyongyang only for the Arirang performance reached up to 5,000, I thought in South Korea, the Clean Eyes Campaign must take place prior to the Clean Clothes Campaign. Such a campaign would promote movement against having “dirty eyes” that enjoy a performance of North Korean children’s blood and sweat.
Those Enjoying the Show of Kim Jong Il’s Children Slaves
Collective gymnastics performances were held under many titles in North Korea since the Korean liberation. In that area, North Korea is the best in the world. In Arirang Performance, 100,000 children are involved in the performance. The first performance was held in 2002, and now they are performing again.
That many people move in one. The card section is extraordinarily splendid and delicate. Over half of the participants are kindergartener, elementary and middle school students. Anyone with a normal brain would be able to recognize at one sight the kind of difficulties such little children may have gone through practicing for such a performance.
It is an abnormal show, where there are tens of thousands of actors but audience of only few hundreds to few thousands. It may be an experience of enjoying the old feudal times where the child slaves dance military dancing and the royal class watch them perform. The price of a ranges from $100 to $150.In simple calculation, it is not difficult to discover that it is not enough to even pay $1 per an actor per performance.
However, after such a difficult performance, there was never a time when the Commander paid them. They are given “gifts” that include canned food, fruits and a blanket. This is a typical type of labor extraction. Once Suryeong felt so happy that he gave a TV to every household as a gift, and people wept with emotion. This is mad.
Hypocrisy of the Leftists
There are people who rose from their seats to clap after they “enjoyed” such a performance. They must be either sadists, if not, people with “dirty eyes.”
Recently, decision of members of the Korean Government Employees’s Union and the Korean Teachers & Educational Worker’s Union to go to see Arirang performance, taking a break at the same time, made a big fuss. I wonder how the members of the Korean Teachers & Educational Worker’s Union who are teachers themselves felt about this tragic show of the century. The fact is that they are standing in line for to see the show.
A senior member of the National Human Rights Committee suggested giving out a statement to constrain people going to the Arirang performance, but all the other senior members opposed to it unanimously, so the suggestion did not even get on the list. They are wearing clean clothes and are acting clean but they have dirty eyes as a part of their body.
October 2005 is the portrait of the “dirty republic” led by the people with dirty eyes. Leftists of South Korea, you are all fake. Reflect yourselves on a mirror. You will see your “dirty eyes” covered with hypocrisy.
