N. Korea Incessantly Repeating Kim Jong-il Footage & his Communiqué Two Days in a Row
A few dozen radio broadcasts, and on the newspaper headline
(Seoul, Yonhap news) Ham Bo-hyun: N. Korean media continues to re-broadcast the report on Kim Jong-il's tour on a military unit and his Communiqué on both Oct. 11 and 12. His health has been the subject of speculation over a month.
(The state news agency) KCNA first reported Kim Jong-il's inspection of all-female anti-aircraft company under KPA Unit 821 on early morning of Oct. 11. Since then they had been re-broadcasting it at an hour or two intervals all day, 8 times on Korean Central Broadcast, 7 times on Radio Pyongyang, 5 times on Korean Central TV, 20 times in total.
Central Broadcast, the domestic media, and Radio Pyongyang, media for overseas, reported Kim's inspection tour two times and one time respectively on Oct. 12, continuing its coverage from the previous day.
Along with this development, Kim's communiqué titled, 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the Invincible Country of Juche Socialism,' was re-broadcast 5 times on Central Broadcast, 4 times on Radio Pyongyang, 3 times on Central TV, 12 times in total on Oct. 11. It was first aired simultaneously on Central Broadcast, Radio Pyongyang, Central TV, and KCNA on Oct. 10.
Central Broadcast, Radio Pyongyang, and Central TV aired the communiqué one more time on the morning of Oct. 12.
On Oct. 11, Central Broadcast and Central TV even had to postpone until after 8am their customary weather report on 6 or 7 am because of their repeated rebroadcast of the report on military inspection tour and his lengthy communiqué.
Central Broadcast and Central TV also showed many photos of Kim's inspection tour in an unusually prompt manner. (translator's note: It usually takes a day or two for photo/video footage to show up after the initial news on Kim Jong-il.)
Rodong Shinmun, N. Korea's official party newspaper, reported his inspection tour and photos on the first page on Oct. 11, and the newspaper and Minju Chosun, the official cabinet newspaper, both featured his communiqué on both their first and second page on Oct. 12.

Recycling old photos would not do the trick. Those pictures were obviously taken when it was much warmer. Many in S. Korea believe that the photos were taken in spring or early summer. Too much fresh green grass and leaves in the background.
This will only make people believe that his health is really in serious trouble.
Ping!
He sleeps with Castro.
“They’re dead Jim.”
Agreed.

I cant even begin to imagine the power struggle that is happening in NK right now.
I pray he is dead. Maybe that’s why we took NK off the terrorist list.
Perceptive. Perhaps that Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill guy went to N Korea to verify Lil Kim's demise.
Maybe he told them, "Show me proof he's deceased and we will take you off the despised list. And we will keep it quiet until you find a new dictator."
Then he tells the Japanese Aso that he can refuse to go along for political reasons. That's OK because Kim is no longer Kim.
yitbos
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

They all look like such little squirts, like they were stunted in their growth... :-)
So then, Hill tells them, "Look, I know you need some time to find the right Supreme Deity and shore up your internal security. So after ASO says no deal, you blow off some non-threatening short range duds. Say you are going to blow off 10. Actually, it will be a signal. Each one you use up will signal 1 week till Kim's demise (new guy is ready) is announced."
Taking tea with Polonius.
Maybe he really is dead and the "Boys" are jockeying for power like they did inRussia when Stalin died.
That picture on right I think that is double
Tiger does this remind you of old Soviet Union days when they just told the media and whole world that the leader has Flu or something yeah Chia Pet caught flu it called diabetes coma HELLO
This convinces me also that he is very ill and that the current order is in upheaval —there is an outside chance he could even be dead.
If he were healthy, there would have been no need to bombard people with this stuff —we would have seen him jumping around in front of something utterly convincing about the date —he might be handdling a newspaper with discrenable headlines, or something.
This is smoke and mirrors —SOMETHING is going on.
Are you talking about who gets the biggest piece of tree bark for dinner tonight?
FOX has picked up on this phoney photo stuff (probably got it from you ;~ ) )
