Kim Jong Un’s Health: North Korea’s Leader in ‘Grave Danger’ After Surgery
heavy.com ^ | 4/20/2020 | Stephen McCaugherty

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un is reportedly in grave danger after undergoing surgery on April 20, CNN’s chief media correspondent, Brian Stelter, reports.

Selter said that CNN journalist Jim Sciutto was on the phone with another CNN anchor, Chris Cuomo, when “The banner, citing a U.S. source: “NORTH KOREAN LEADER KIM JONG UN IN ‘GRAVE DANGER’ AFTER SURGERY” appeared on the screen.

Heavy has reached out to the U.S. State Department for further information.

The United States is currently monitoring the North Korean leader’s health, according to CNN’s source, an official with direct knowledge. Getting accurate updates from the country is extremely difficult due to the political situation, and it’s considered one of the most challenging information-gathering environments for U.S. intelligence.

North Korea is especially tight-lipped about its leader, who is viewed very highly in the country. Most of the information that government analysts accumulate from North Korea comes from state media dispatches and propaganda videos.

There Has Been Speculation About the North Korean Leader’s Health Since He Missed a Recent Event

CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto told Cuomo that the U.S. is monitoring the situation around Kim Jong Un and “We should note that Kim, he recently missed the celebration of his grandfather, Kim Il Sung birthday on April 15. This raised speculation about his wellbeing, about his health.”

I guess the food taster couldn’t have the surgery ahead of Lil’ Kim?

“Surgery,”, or the Chi-com cootie virus?
If he’s in grave danger, he may have died a week ago for all we know.

How long ago was the surgery, and when did Cheyenne Mountain get closed to the outside?

North Korea is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time here, so it is 11:53am on February 21st in Pyongyang. The following text is extracted from the material at the link that follows the extract.

“Pyongyang time TV broadcasts on Sundays, major national holidays, and on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of every month from 9am-10.30pm”

https://kcnawatch.org/korea-central-tv-livestream/

It’s almost noon on the 21st there. Why no TV broadcast? Hmmm...

There are also reports that he is brain dead. But who knows what to believe.

I believe on weekdays their broadcast starts at 3PM Pyongyang Time. Which I believe is 2AM Eastern Time.

thanks for noticing - /s

since the other post is a different title, and also lacking the key words Kim Jing Un, it didn’t show up in search.

Read the bullet point after the 3pm bullet point for the exceptions to that.
