Kim Jong-il is dead [Main Thread]

[redgolum]

I just hope that this doesn’t set off a civil war with nukes. Or that the new leader marches south.

Yonhap: (URGENT) President Lee orders all gov’t officials on emergency status after Kim’s death

In moments like this, you realize how archaic ideologically our own leadership is.
A moment to assert ourselves and our ideals, to promote change and goodness.
Forget it. Third generation read diaper baby in the White Hut.
Post-colonialist despising the West.
Chairman Bob Avakian would do better in that place.

Had an impulse to turn on my television and see what the news networks were saying about this, then realized there’s no way any “media” would have information quicker than FR.

Amazing how this site gets when really big news breaks.

Well, they do go in threes. Prayers up for a hat-trick!

The real nightmare is millions of refugees pouring over the border.

[PghBaldy]

Thank you. This is ENORMOUS news.

You have to love CNN's coverage.

Apparently, North Korean aggression can be attributed to South Korea not being accommodating enough towards a schizophrenic, genocidal, erratic, inherited Marxist dictatorship.

IMHO the real nightmare is if the son thinks he’s seen as weak and vulnerable by potential competitors in the military, he could conclude he has to do something tough.

That could get complicated.

For a lot of people, and places.

If it hits that point, then we don’t have to worry as much about a war.

But the refugees might not be refugees. Perfect set up for a false flag operation.

Thanks for the reminder. Hitchens, Kim and ?
(Julia Roberts? Alec Baldwin? We gotta do better than that!)

I’m beginning to believe that Kim Jong-il’s passing could be the first event that could lead to a slow re-unification of Korean Peninsula—a process that could take up to 15 years to complete.

When complete tyrants like this die, it reminds me of this classic movie w/Tom Hulce portraying the projectionist for Stalin. Revealing the cult of Stalin, much like this Korean jumped up psychotic. If you have time, here’s the link to free 11 part youtube.

Appalling really. If you don’t have time then:

Raise a toast to FREEDOM!

Fox News should have John Bolton on now doing analysis; instead, Huckleberry is interviewing “creepy eyes” Bachmann.

Pyongyang Patty has emerged on state TV in black chimachogori, crying, announcing the death. So we know SHE has not been purged. Phone lines to Pyongyang are blocked. Reminiscent of when KIS kicked the bucket.

Anybody know why Fox News is running a Huckabee re-run instead of covering this? As much as I dislike Fox News these days for shilling for Romney and pushing sleaze, I like CNN even less.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Rot in hell, you murderous tyrant.

And say hey to Teddy Kennedy when you see him.
