Report from Sankei (Japanese) newspaper (conservative) coming in today (per link).
Said that a number of hand made circulars have been circulating widely around North Korea (Pyongyang, Nampo, Chonjin, Sinuiju), etc. The flyers are by an underground anti-Kim Jong-il group active in North Korea.
Sankei says they support the defector Hwang Jang Yop, who is now in South Korea.
There are several flyers which counter the common DPRK Party myths and deifications about Kim Jong-il, showing Kim as a spoiled aristocrat rather that a man of the people, with the Russian nickname "Yura" who did not even grow up nor was born in North Korea. Driving wedges between Kim and the starving people, commenting on the rich food he eats while people starve. Saying the "Chuche" Ideology of the North is a big farce which merely enslaves the Korean people. Another underground flyer (again hand written and many copies run off) that is making the rounds in North Korea says "Kim Jong-il killed his father Kim il-Sung".
Sankei reports the North Korean Secret Police is mobilizing in an attempt to find out who is doing this. They have re-instituted/re-fortified a civilian registration system in Pyongyang to track citizens with an eye toward cracking down on this type of subversion. The flyers also contain detailed personal information on Kim Jong-il that only those in select positions would know. Accordingly, north Korean defectors theorize that these flyers are gaining some cooperation from some people in positions of power in the NK military or Party (anti-Kim elements emerging?).
Copies of these flyers have been spotted (or made it out to) China and picked up by sources there.
(Developing)
in part. and for sure, transited China or at least the support function.
That's Hawaii there at three o'clock, about 7500 km, correct?
As a counter here, another source could easily appear and say that 'no, Kim did not order it, he has gone to ground, and that senior level people have ordered it against his will'. Who knows? We will have to see what method the order to take them down came, and if the order (a copy) can be obtained or word of it can get out. Independent verification of this I believe is required from a number of sources. Thanks for the Yonhap story.

Nork civilians are ripping up railroad rails, ties, the electric cables which power the trains, etc., in areas where train service has ceased, and selling the stuff as scrap so they can buy food which ain't comin' their way by train no more.
This does look like North Korea's last winter unless the Chinese do a repeat within 6-9 months of what they did in 1951.
Well, that's true of course. It is the world's first Commmunist Dynasty. Of course, in reality Kim Jong il was in control after the old man croaked, but out of Korean tradition, Kim was not officially (i.e. as in official titles) named to all the senior DPRK posts (Party, State, Military) until after that mourning period had been complete.
Yes. 3 p.m., just outside the green dotted circle.
"Oh no, Hans Brix!"
"Why you blaking my barrs?"
should have included you in the addresses
Thanks. I've been real bad about the ping list myself and apologies to those I often leave out!
But what about General Franco? How's he doing?
Combined with the pressure from China to ditch that Maoist/Stalinist Personal Worship crap and join the 21st century, that Kim Jong il himself or some of his top aides ordered a tone down on this Cult of Worship business as a result. The next few days we will know more. I myself think the guy is still alive and well.
I'll try to post a video stream link here of last night's (Korean time 17 November) Pyongyang TV portions which showed still photos of Kim visiting the Unit 754 (but leaving out the praising title they have used for years before saying his actual name).
Ah, appearance's are deceiving. ...see tagline. :))
"Hey, let's get the Southpark boys to send bootleg DVD's of Team America to NoKos. That would cause an instant revolution."
Only if you also send DVD players, TV's, electrical generators a power grid and snack foods as well.
"But what about General Franco? How's he doing?"
Still dead, I'm afraid.
I'm sure we're stirin up sh*t in Iran too.
Cool. It is time that North Koreans know the real Kim Jong-Il. He is a criminal.
