  21. The torturers, murderers over at the korean secret police / KCIA try to keep themselves relevant by union-busting in an era when they are increasingly being viewed as obsolete.

    Trampling on unions may just be a political ploy to save themselves from losing their powers of investigation to normal, civilian, police who aren't allowed to torture people, forge documents, rig elections, and steal money, while operating in total darkness.
