A former North Korean counter-intelligence officer has claimed that Kim Jong-Un is no longer in control of the nation and is now just a 'puppet leader'. Jang Jin-sung, who used to be an influential officer in Kim Jong-il's propaganda division, made the sensational assertion at a September conference in Holland attended by several elite exiles, it's been reported. The capital, Pyongyang, meanwhile, has been placed into lockdown with even the elite banned from entering or leaving, according to a respected news site. This adds weight to Jin-sung's claim, as a North Korean expert said that this kind of measure is only put in place when a coup has taken place - or is suspected.

Here is my cynical take:
Kim’s illness is a ploy. See who says something like when will he croak and things get better. Surprise, Kim miraculously recuperates, and a new purge is on!
It has happened before when Kim Jong Il was ill. Flush out the disloyal ones and off to the camps.

The Norks have decided that there’s Sum Ting Wong.
Even the DPRK generals are skinny. Tired of eating their medals I guess.

He isn't sick, he's just ronery. That can get to a feller, even an apotheosis of animal sexuality such as Kimmy.
It's good advice that if you have a dictatorship to run, don't start executing your staff, but if you do start, don't stop.

I remember a scene from the Richard Dreyfuss movie, "Moon over Parador". Dreyfuss' character was in a freezer and shown the body of the old dictator, and asked if he would be interested in playing the role of the dead frozen man.
The North Korean Generals are looking for someone to play the role of Kim Jung-un. They decided against Jackie Chan because he is too old and too skinny.

IF he has any type of virus, it is more likely to be DENGUE FEVER.
I suspect it is something he got from his ‘lifestyle’.

Is Kim Jong-Un dying from a fatal case of stupidity?
Is he extremely weak from wishing people in the cornfield?
To: C19fan
A former North Korean counter-intelligence officer has claimed that Kim Jong-Un is no longer in control of the nation and is now just a 'puppet leader'. A puppet? That would explain why he seemed to be having trouble walking the last time he was seen in public - he had someone's hand up his backside...

I have seen documentaries that provide a glimpse of what it is like there. Famine and very cold temperatures are a terrible combination.
I have been to South Korea - it is an industrialized nation with modern cities. Its absurd that the North is stuck in a time warp.
