Kim Jong Un executes 30 officials over floods in North Korea that killed 4,000: report
NY Post ^ | 9/03/24 | Ronny Reyes

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered up to 30 officials to be executed over their alleged failure to prevent massive flooding and landslides in the summer that resulted in the deaths of some 4,000 people, according to South Korean media.

An official under Kim’s regime said between 20 and 30 leaders in North Korea had been charged with corruption and dereliction of duty, with the state sentencing them to capital punishment, TV Chosun reported.

“It has been determined that 20 to 30 cadres in the flood-stricken area were executed at the same time late last month,” the official told the outlet.

Reports of the executions were not immediately verified by independent outlets.

The North Korean Central News Agency previously reported that Kim ordered authorities to “strictly punish” the officials after catastrophic flooding hit Chagang province in July, claiming about 4,000 lives and displacing more than 15,000 people.

The officials who were executed were not identified, but the report noted that Kang Bong-hoon, the Chagang province provincial party committee secretary since 2019, was among the leaders dismissed by Kim in an emergency meeting during the flooding disaster.

Imagine this happening in the U.S. every time government employees are derelict in their duties. There would be a line from the gallows in D.C. stretching all the way to Alaska.

Must be big happy fun at promotion time. Norks can’t say no or play sick. Their only option is to take the job and hope they don’t get executed. Fat Boi would love if the replacements turn their phones off.

Heck of a dismissal. And to think some Americans get upset over a pink slip.

Victims for the sacrifice to the god of communism. Not much different than throwing a virgin in a volcano in response to a natural disaster.

Believe me if Kamalama Ding Dong gets in, she will be ordering mass executions for anyone who isn’t a neo Marxist. They already sacrifice babies at the altar of Abortion as part of their religion.

That’s the problem with top down management. Lower level leaders are afraid to make a decision. The Maui fire disaster comes to mind.

Hell, we had governors kill more than this during the early days of the Fauci Flu debacle.

Having extreme consequences for incompetency is one way to improve FedGov service.

For example: Fauci and anyone supporting his line of bullshiite should have had their hemp and branch party years ago.

The greet injustice is that Kim Jong Un did not commit suicide and take all his top people with him.
