"Trafficking in Persons Report" of United States under Fire

Pyongyang, October 2 (KCNA) -- Ri Jin, researcher of the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies, Thursday issued the following article titled "'Trafficking in Persons Report' highlights only the incurable maladies of the United States":

Recently, the U.S. Department of State released again a "report" that willfully assesses and classifies the practices of "human trafficking" in the DPRK and all other countries of the world.

The "report", as in the past, repeated its slander against the sovereign states, citing the data of "human trafficking" in other countries and labeling them as "model states" or "backward states" after grading the countries in order of the governmental efforts for eradicating "human trafficking" and their results.

Last year we had already branded the annual "Trafficking in Persons Report" of the U.S. which was run through with the obsolete fabricated data as a diagnosis of mental derangement of the U.S. addicted to the politicization of human rights.

The U.S. still tries to style itself a "human rights judge" though it is breaking the world's worst human rights record every year. It is stunning the public.

It is illogical that the U.S., where horrible shooting incidents occur at schools, churches and shops almost every day and tens of thousands of people are being taken to prisons due to the policy of expelling immigrants, assesses the situation of human rights in the world.

This is not the only thing.

It is, indeed, a tragicomedy that the U.S. government made a "judgment" upon the world situation of "human trafficking" at a time when the whole world is astonished at a U.S. millionaire's hideous underage sex trafficking.

The reality clearly proves that the U.S. "Trafficking in Persons Report" is nothing but a means for veiling its records of human rights violation and politicizing human rights to justify the pressure on different countries and interference in their internal affairs, and has nothing to do with the substantial efforts to eradicate human trafficking.

It is by no means fortuitous that not only the anti-U.S. and independent countries but also the "countries sharing their mind" with the U.S. are openly criticizing the U.S for its deceitful and contradictory gibberish about "human rights".

Today when the world aspires after multi-polarization, the DPRK and many other countries are directing efforts to promoting human rights conforming to their own history, culture and socio-economic environment.

The U.S. is well advised to clearly understand the reality and realize that the old-fashioned and inefficient behavior of a "human rights judge" is no longer appropriate, and it moves to internationalize and politicize the "human rights" issues of other countries would only result in self-harming consequences of bringing its miserable human rights situation to a focus.

We will in the future, too, not lend an ear to the U.S. deceptive "human rights" rhetoric but do our best to defend the most advantageous socialist system of our own style and the genuine rights and interests of the people. -0-

The idea literally came from Korean War soldiers who got captured and re educated no longer thinking they should be invading and instead of thinking maybe the Koreans had a point and expressed it well they did MK Ultra.

Yeeppp. That was a big mess. "Do you think maybe we shouldn't be doing these anti-communist terror campaigns, as those soldiers called 'em?" "No way, fightin' the commies is totally righteous, those guys are just brainwashed, let's waste a bunch of resources and damage a ton of people to try to find out how the damn commies did it!"

(Kinda wish "re-education" actually worked the way Western anti-communist nonsense describes it. I know a few truly ghoulish neoliberals who really need that treatment.)

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
