Ping!

The operation was reportedly done on his “circulatory system.” They could have operated on his blood vessels in or near his brain.

"Kim is still in control of the regime."

Or die if you don't think so.

Was the stroke or heart attack on Aug 22? If that is the case something went wrong on a planned medical operation on or about Aug 14.

[TigerLikesRooster]

So far they say it is a stroke.

"According to our knowledge, he shows no language deficit, and can move his body."

He sounds fit as a fiddle!

[AdmSmith]

I found this:

“A source who is well informed about Korean diplomacy said there was “news that Kim collapsed from a stroke, and that a French doctor went to North Korea on Aug. 22. We are looking into the matter to confirm the validity of the story.” Another source said there are reports that five Chinese doctors arrived in the North at the end of August. An official at the Korean Embassy in Beijing said Monday that the mission had intelligence reports that Kim collapsed on Aug. 22. Kim’s last public appearance was on Aug. 14, when the Korean Central News Agency reported that he visited the 1319 Army Base.”

This could be significant:

“Meanwhile, South Korea's intelligence reported that the usual morning military parade at the Kim Il Sung Square to mark the nation's creation did not take place as scheduled. Likewise, Pyongyang did not invite Chinese dignitaries to the event as was regularly done before.”

Something happened:

Meanwhile, South Korea's intelligence reported that the usual morning military parade at the Kim Il Sung Square to mark the nation's creation did not take place as scheduled.

Is that Captain Peacock?

[AdmSmith]

They are planning a new choreography. ;-)

[AdmSmith]

Is this the "new" leader:



Jo Myong-rok

“Pyongyang did not invite Chinese dignitaries to the event as was regularly done before.””

That and not using his ‘doubles’ makes me wonder if something is going on behind the scenes and we will soon learn that he’s dead, the funeral all planned and his son has taken over.

[Eagletest]

He's having a cigar with Fidel, in the “Hospital”. Gen. Franco is the chief proctologist.

[TigerLikesRooster]

He could head the collective leadership made of generals.
That is, if the regime turns into military dictatorship.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

We’ll be seeing ole Kimmy about as much as we’ve seen ole Fiddle in the last few years. Both dead?

Thanks to Tiger for translating this report.

Could it be a major stroke?
