N. Korea: Kim Jong-un's Aunt 'Seriously Ill'

Kim Jong-un's Aunt 'Seriously Ill'

Kim Kyong-hui, the wife of executed North Korean eminence grise Jang Song-taek, and aunt of leader Kim Jong-un, has had long-term treatment in Russia for heart problems but her health apparently continues to deteriorate, sources claim.

A source in Beijing said Kim was in Russia for some 40 days due to heart problems and returned to Pyongyang last month. The source added Kim's condition is "serious."

Her brother, former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, and father, nation founder Kim Il-sung, both died of heart attacks, making it likely that the disease is genetic.

Kim is apparently too ill to even recognize people. This could mean that her husband was executed without her knowledge.

She is believed to have been a staunch supporter of Kim Jong-un, and her death could weaken this support base even further.

Meanwhile, Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Ui-do said rumors of a high-ranking North Korean official defecting to China was "clearly inaccurate."

Doesn’t this woman (reportedly) have a serious alcohol problem? If so, other health issues can certainly be magnified.

The fat little bastard is crafty, his dad must have schooled him well. He knows if the aunt was powerful enough to help him consolidate his power, then she is too dangerous to keep around.

I’d like to laugh at this.

Unfortunately, I live in Seattle, which is inside the range of a North Korean ICBM.

I figure a guy who has no qualms about murdering his elderly Aunt and Uncle will have no qualms about murdering me.

Lil’ Kim’s wife is another psychopath.

She was part of an all girl dance troupe that toured the country when she met Lil’ Kim.

Apparently, several of the girls gossiped that they fooled around with many government connected men during their tours.

Lil’ Kim had every girl in the troupe shot, around ten of them, as I recall.

He is not a savvy confident man. Rather insecure, inexperienced, and overzealous. He can break eggs but it is questionable if he can make omelets.
