Intelligence: 'Signs of Trouble in Kim Jong-il's Health' [JoongAng Ilbo]
The day before (Christopher) Hill's visit... intelligence agency on alert
The intelligence authorities are trying to verify the intelligence that something went wrong with Kim Jong-il (age: 65) on June 20, the day before the visit by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill. Intelligence sources in Seoul said on June 22, "We won't reveal the source but we picked up signs that Kim Jong-il's health is in trouble. S. Korea and U.S. intelligence are trying to find out if it is true."
They also added, "There are indications that Guards Bureau, which is responsible for the security of Kim Jong-il, and Security Command of N. Korean Military are stepping up their activities. Five days ago, N. Korean border guards with their arms cross the border over to Kaisantun, Longjing, China, which prompted Chinese to suspect that something was going wrong inside N. Korea."
Kim Jong-il made a string of visits to factories located in mountainous northern part of Jagang and N. Pyongan area early June. There is no report on Kim's activities from N. Korea's state media since June 17. The government authorities are skeptical, saying "If something went wrong with Kim Jong-il, how could they allow Assistant Secretary Hill into N. Korea?"

More from
another media article:
Kim Jong-il could go at any time. His condition appears to be much more serious than what is reported in the media. The Kim Jong-il figure which showed up at (the celebration of) N. Korean military's founding is not a real one, but his Kagemusha, that is, a carbon copy of him.

Dang. That's too bad.
May he find his Savior in his final moments. That's all that's left after a worthless life.
To: TigerLikesRooster
I wonder if he’s going to die five or six times before he finally gets it right?

I hope the people around him remember to “lose the football” in case he gets any ideas about going out in a blaze.

So who’ll be the successor to the “Dear Leader” who was the successor to the “Great Leader”? Taking it to the logical conclusion, it should be “Gay Leader”!

The Lord will not be mocked forever.
Sounds like lil Kim’s time is coming to a close.
Maybe they’ll join the human race.
