Something Happened? All N. Korean Diplomatic Missions Ordered to be on Stand-by

N. Korea's diplomatic missions all over the world were ordered on Oct. 17 to stay at their mission, refraining from going out, and expect important announcement from their government.

Sources explained they expect that official announcement could be made in a few days. They speculate that it is related to inter-Korean relationship or Kim Jong-il's health.

It think that was it. And that was the method they chose to deliver it to the embassies and consulates abroad. In addition, they may have other methods of delivering the message.

It will soon be midnight, so Pyongyang radio my be broadcasting the "code" that they do to Japan nightly (at least they did up until a few years ago).

Also, THIS, from Daily NK:

There Has Been No General’s Instruction for Last Two Months [2008-10-13 18:57 ] A source from Pyongyang reported on Friday that the General’s Instruction, which means Kim Jong Il’s direct instruction given in lectures for members of organizations or the People’s Units, has not been delivered for the last two months. The source who came to Shinuiju on the 9th said in a telephone interview with the Daily NK that, “The rumor that the General’s health condition is bad is circulating now among Pyongyang residents.” He expressed the atmosphere of Pyongyang, saying that, “General workers say these days say, ‘What’s happened [to the General]?,’ or ‘He is probably sick,’ because the general’s instructions, which used to be delivered to the people at least every two weeks, has not come out for about two months.” He said that the General’s Instruction has not been announced since late August. According to him, there had not been cases in which the instructions did not appear in the residents’ lectures for almost two months except when Kim Jong Il has visited China or Russia. The source said that, “Cadres of the Party say that the General had heart surgery last year and brain surgery in 1995 due to fatigue. He could have not appeared at the event on September 9th but will stand on his feet soon. There is no one who does not know his is sick because even the cadres say so.”

Books including “Science of Potato Breeding”, “New Technology of Cultivating High-Yielding Maize,” “Research and Technology of Modern Neuroscience”, “Regeneration Biology and Recycling Medicine” and “Numerator Endocrinology” provide broad knowledge about agriculture, medicine and information science and technology.

Comment: As it earlier was said in communist propaganda “it is no coincidence that they mentioned these books”

Listening to North Korean radio right now as we freep, 12:10 a.m. local Sunday a.m., on the AM band. Reception fair (not yet winter for best reception). Nothing out of the ordinary. Full male chorus Korean Peoples Army with full ensemble, military martial music, nothing out of the ordinary, sounds like a normal Saturday night at midnight on North Korean radio. No somber music, just the usual laudatory praise of Kim Jong il. Mixed in with the sweet voiced solos of chirping type kipmujo female singers with guitar, electone and bass backup.

I've just picked up the English version on the Drudge link.

Do the underleaders realize the system is bankrupt? When the USS-Are became the USS-Was, it happened internally, in Moscow, albeit with unavoidable pressure from the West.

If it happens in the DPRK, will it happen in Pyng-Pong, or will it be ushered in from the PRC or somewhere else?

I decrypted it.

It’s a coded order for 300 prostitutes from abroad, which specs about height/weight/race/hair color/sexual practices.

Those NK embassies and consulates had better get busy.

The Great Leader expects his “order” to be waiting for him tonight.
