Has Kim Jong-Un lost control of North Korea? Pyongyang is on lockdown and nation's former
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 3, 2014 | Ted Thornhill

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.

I’ll bet Kim Yung Dung is either dead or nearly so.

Are the Generals running the place? Did they break Kim3’s ankles and not gravity as has been suspected?

Those poor Norks have suffered for too long!

They sure have. I had hoped this SOB would have been a kinder, gentler dictator but he's worse than his papa.

I just read one of those books. Yikes.

The people there are feral.

If the DMZ were to go down, the troops from the south would rush to it to keep the refugees from coming down.

It would take a while to integrate the population into the South. It would be great. But it would take time.

I would love to see China take these fools out and put in a more “open” regime.

But, I doubt that will happen until things are a little more settled with Japan and us

If the rumors are true, so much for civilian oversight of the NK military. /S

Yeah, naked, zombie, elder Kim is a real eye-sore,

Wow, that’s an obscure reference. Bill Mumy and I salute you.

“I guess executing all your senior officers and their families isn’t a great way to make friends.”

Neither is firing all your top officers, $hitting on your intelligence division, having a marine hold a umbrella in the rain, or saluting with a latte in your hand to name a few.

That’s the key to controlling a totalitarian state, pointing at things.
