North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the execution of 15 senior officials this year as punishment for challenging his authority, South Korea's spy agency told a closed-door parliament meeting on Wednesday.

A vice minister for forestry was one of the officials executed for complaining about a state policy, a member of parliament's intelligence committee, Shin Kyung-min, quoted an unnamed National Intelligence Service official as saying.

"Excuses or reasoning doesn't work for Kim Jong Un, and his style of rule is to push through everything, and if there's any objection, he takes that as a challenge to authority and comes back with execution as a showcase," Shin said.

Because it is far, far easier to say yes than risk being fed to the dogs.

It’s a Mini-Me with a lot of allies... it would take someone desperate to do it, one who has no family or friends in the world to worry about.

North Korea will surpass the executions in the USA for 2014 pretty soon.

“one who has no family or friends in the world to worry about”

Or, someone more interested in Liberty for All than their and their loved-ones’ place in this life.

A revolutionary, in other words.

Like our Founding Fathers.

North Korea starves people by the tens of thousands annually on purpose. So what’s an “execution”?

“It was reported that 27,000 prisoners died of starvation within a short time”

North Korea needs its own version of Operation Valkyrie (but a successful one). Surely not everyone there with the means to put an end to the rule of this insane crime family is drinking the Kool-Aid.

There is almost no chance or ability to coordinate anything, every other person is a spy and half of the ones who aren’t will report you too.

It was not for no reason that they “joined their sacred honor.”

It takes a village to do a revolution right.

Sometimes external invasion is the only thing that can set such a hell hole free. Just sayin’.

Probably wouldn’t take much of an invasion if you knock over the government buildings in pyongyang first

They’ve attempted to arm themselves against that by holding Seoul hostage... but if it ever came to a battle with Seoul, oh boy would they lose, no matter how many in Seoul perished at the start.

Another way “MIGHT” be if their Dear Leader (current or a successor) had an epiphany and actually started pushing for a Korean version of glasnost. That would represent a spiritual invasion.

Ask Soviet Marshalls Blyukher, Tukhachevsky and Yegorov, they might have an answer.
