North Korea has ordered major provincial organizations, military-run factories and other facilities to prepare a months’ worth of food, signalling that the state is unable to provide rations anymore, Daily NK has learned.

“The order was handed down by provincial party committees to local people’s committees, Ministry of State Security offices, police stations, military-run factories run by the Second Economic Committee [of the Workers’ Party of Korea], and even orphanages,” a North Hamgyong Province-based source told Daily NK on Feb. 26.

I almost read that in terms the regime is nearing collapse.

[tet68]

Not a good sign.

[Sacajaweau]

You still need food dumb a**.

[blam]

Death by starvation...common in NK.

If they were smart, they’d cancel nuke dev and beg us for help. We’d do it too.

Just shoot a couple more rockets into the ocean and all will be well.

“This is the first time the party has handed down an order for these organizations to prepare a months’ worth of food. It’s particularly noteworthy because North Korea isn’t facing the threat of war,” the source continued.

Sounds like a possible quarantine lockdown.

[FreedomPoster]

That was my reaction.

President Trump’s sanctions? Plus China needs all the food it can get.

This follows the quarantine of all diplomats and the announcement to every mission to leave by March 4th.

Wow. Makes me glad I'm right in the good ol' US of A!

It's the corona virus.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Evidently NK soldiers are never allowed anywhere near a loaded gun.

[ZOOKER]

So with stores and markets already picked clean, and no deliveries from gov't sources, how do local entities stockpile a month's worth of food?

Guess you form raiding parties and go house-to-house?

[oldasrocks]

Also the border has been closed with china where they were getting most of their food from. Supposedly there are tunnels full of food that Lil Kim and his father before him squirreled away. Why don’ they release some of that?

[calenel]

“It’s the corona virus.”

Clearly.

But watch out! The Meta Concern Trolls will chastise and taunt you for disrupting their complacency.

[realcleanguy]

This could be a warning sign that the COVID19 may be worse than anyone expected there

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sure does. And shot off a rocket to send a message to the world and his peeps that they are “strong”.
