North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un executed another batch of senior officials, South Korea’s spy agency revealed Monday.
Kim pulled out the anti-aircraft gun for the execution of five senior officials, charged with submitting false government reports, according to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS).
North Korea fired state security chief Kim Won-hong last month for corruption, abuse, and torture. The five officials reportedly killed by the regime worked in Kim’s office and were executed for providing inaccurate reports.
The false data provided by the officials is said to have “enraged” the young despot Kim Jong-un.
The NIS did not reveal how it obtained information regarding the most recent executions. As inside information about the internal affairs of the reclusive North Korean state is hard to come by, the accuracy of such reports is, to a certain extent, questionable. Kim Jong-un reportedly has an affinity for killing people with anti-aircraft guns, the bullets for which would rip a human being apart.
North Korea allegedly executed two other senior officials
— former agricultural minister Hwang Min and senior education ministry official Ri Yong-jin — with an anti-aircraft gun last year.
Ri dozed off during a meeting with the supreme leader, and Hwang pushed policies inconsistent with those preferred by Kim.
Defense Minister Hyon Yong-chol was executed with an anti-aircraft gun in May 2015.
Since he took power in 2011, Kim Jong-un is suspected to have murdered at least 300 people, among which are around 140 senior officials, in an attempt to secure his grip on power.
While Kim has a certain love for the anti-aircraft gun, North Korea has many execution methods. Some people have been poisoned, and others have been executed by firing squad. Former Vice Minister of the Army Kim Chol and former Deputy Defense Minister Kim Yong Chun were obliterated by mortar rounds. Former Deputy Minister of Public Security O Sang-hon was bound to a stake and burned alive with a flame thrower
I think it’s a matter of getting South Korea to agree to kick out the US Troops, and then China and South Korea will make the deal regarding North Korea.
I’d almost believe that having China in there would be preferable. As long as their “legitimate territorial interests” didn’t include the rest of the peninsula.
The Chinese are fairly evil, but on a normal scale, not utterly psychotically insane.
Do you honestly think the Chinese want all of the refugees from NK in their country?
The Chinese have created this monster, and it’s up to them to deal with him and the protential flood of refugees if NK goes hot.
I would think that his recent spate of executions is because he knows he a marked man, and it not a matter of if he gets killed, it a matter of when. And with no offspring (they we’re aware of) to succeed him to the throne he’s going off the rails.
You know he’s crazy when he kills a former girlfriend and her band. He must have been a joke in bed and he was afraid she would “out” him.
If Chinese are smart, they should take this guy out pronto.
The Nukes he has will already be enough to annihilate Beijing and they are mucho closer than we are......................
The one thing both SK and China fear is their borders being overrun with Nork refugees if the situation there deteriorates. Like it or not, they probably both agree that for now, keeping the status quo is the best policy.
Also, Russia is going to want a say in matters as well since they also border North Korea.
Perhaps, they should do like Germany after World War II and divvy up North Korea into four zones: South Korea, US, China and Russia for a period of time before allowing it to reunite with the South. It may take a generation for North Korea to be ready to join the South, as their people have been so brainwashed.
Throw chaff and flares and jink around. It’s your only chance.
Sounds like a real life Neggan.... Wonder if he has a Lucille?
Evil little man....
Russia would probably help with the polonium salad dressing................
That’s expensive. It would be cheaper to use a .22 caliber round behind the ear.
Or do like the Nazis and line up five people right behind each other and kill them with just one bullet.
Up to now NK has always been a PRC puppet and bad as it gets the norks are doing what PRC wants to keep the West rattled and spending money. It may be different now but odds are it is more of the same. The Mad Mullahs and Kim Jong Whatever are doing a find job for China. KJU is a puppet and Khamenei et al are volunteers.
“I dont want a city wiped out over this POS.”
Whoa there. His missiles only reach the left coast, places like San Francisco and Portland. (JK)
... were executed for providing inaccurate reports....
If that were the case here, everyone connected with providing the government unemployment figures for the USA during the Obama administration for 8 years would be history.
You know, in N Korea the news media promote that this fat slug as a deity.
I can see in a few years time the same exact thing happening in Amerika if we don’t check our media with the next Demoncrat in the White Hut.
Those are some rough jobs. Reminds me of Saddam putting the losing Olympic athletes through the wood chipper. Work for Kim Jong Un, tell the truth, get executed, lie to him, get executed faster.
Yeah, but a ZSU-23mm has a certain panache. Sends a real message from corporate headquarters.
I’d buy a seat for that “ceremony.”
