Triplets Seized in North Korea

If you thought King Herod was bad in slaughtering the Holy Innocents, wait till you hear what Kim Il Jong has been up to lately.

Australia’s Herald Sun is reporting that Kim Il Jong is seizing all triplets and placing them in orphanages, because he believes that a triplet is destined to overthrow his regime.

North Korea’s official reason for the policy is to help impoverished parents care for their children.

"Triplets are supplied by the state free of charge with clothing, bedding, a one-year supply of dairy products and a pre-school subsidy, and special medical workers take charge of such mothers and children and care for their health," as the North Koreans told the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva.

Of course that doesn’t explain why triplets born to high-ranking officials are also seized. Actually, the number three is a lucky number to Koreans and triplets are revered as people who will rise to positions of power and influence.

"There is no doubt that the policy is compulsory and universal," a veteran Western diplomat told London's Daily Telegraph newspaper

If you think that the UN is going to be asking questions, don’t hold your breath.

George W. Bush is not a triplet.

Yeah. They’re also supposedly taught that Kim Il Jong is their father. Taught to love and be faithful to him, etc.

He does other weird things too.

That's why he is called "Kim "Mentally" Il Jong".

Take a number Kim. The line is moving quickly, and getting shorter as we speak.

now, if he believes so strongly in destiny that he would do this... wouldnt he believe enough in it to realize that it would be useless to try and stop it? if it's destiny, it's destiny.

weirdo...

What a freaky little man he is!

What I don't get, is why someone sitting next to a man as patently whacked as Kim is actually follows and does his work. Why doesn't the whole 'cabinet' sitting around the table look at each other and nod "ok, you hold him and I'll...."

Hmmmmm. . .so how is placing them in an orphanage going to stop this? The man is a looney tune.

Did you see the PBS/Frontline special on Kim last night? The guy is nuts, the North Koreans are nuts. Scary place, and they have WMD.

And that triplet will be even more vindictive after growing up in an orphanage.

The North Koreans believe, overweeningly, in propaganda. They think if they get the kids in the mindwash orphangage they can brainwash them out of fate. The South Koreans seem to put the same fate in propaganda. It is sad. Sadder what's happening to the press of South Korea.

I was wondering that as well. I guess he never heard of Julius Caesar, and how those closest to him killed him.

because he believes that a triplet is destined to overthrow his regime George W. Bush is not a triplet I beg to differ. G.W. is "Presidential Triplet." He's the current President, his father is a former President, and his brother will be the next President in 2008. Triplets! TheTopRead
