Were Bush of a different ideological makeup, the North Korean regime would not be in nearly so desperate a situation. As it is now, the life support plugs are being subtly cut, and everyone in the government knows that past a certain point, collapse is unavoidable. Now more than ever they are desperate to sell missiles, narcotics, and expertise to whoever will buy it, but the noose is silently tightening.

It is my belief that we are in the middle of a joint CIA-KCIA operation. KCIA is like a law unto itself, especially under a leftist regime. They understood that Roh was talking out of his ass, and that Kim's regime was both unstable and dangerous. Therefore, sometime last year, probably in the wake of Roh's victory, they decided to go in on an active measures operation against the North Korean leadership class. In all probability, this was done in cooperation with the CIA and the White House.

You will notice the lack of alarm bells going off at the White House about this? Methinks this is because we have more insided information than is generally acknowledged. We know that Kim is in desperate straits.

This series of defections is designed to make the Chia Pet even more paranoid and untrusting than he already is. When he starts shooting officers, you'll know that we're near the end of the road. Eventually, the Army will move against him, but only when there are enough members of the Secret Police to cooperate in the plot in the hopes of winning a seat at the table after the coup.

This situation is very interesting to watch. My wife echos the sentiments of the rest of Japan when she say she fears that sometime soon NK will shoot a nuke at Tokyo. She also would say that NK should have been taken care of before Iraq. I tell the girl to calm down. The fact of the matter is that Kim Jong Il is not Stalin or Hitler. At least Stalin and Hitler had people producing the raw materials that were then funneled each dictators inner circle. Furthermore, they had the power to believe they could conduct war and win it. Kim Jong has neither.

The funny thing is that all these aid shipments and such are drying up, and the drug smuggling is being cut down. Kim is losing the lifeline of dollars that he plugs into his inner group. I think someone is gonna put a bullet into his head before he shoots anyone.

RE #24

The S. Korean intelligence agency has been sabotaged by the left-wing appointees. Many good operatives left or were placed in dead-end jobs. At least one of them escaped to America and has been spilling beans on the sorry shape of the intelligence agency.

However, it is possible that these former operatives are now working with U.S. intelligence to bring about the project like this, without the knowledge of their superiors or the former employer.

You brought about an interesting point which has not occured to me somehow. These disgruntled operatives may not have packed up and gone home. They found new jobs which they like.:)

S8, you might detect or sense this current strain of 'Pyongyang Paranoia' manifest itself somewhat through the leaked internal DPRK documents/party advisories that I put up on FR in a post awhile ago, in addition to the "Chia Pet" (Kim Jong il) visits to various KPA units, what North Korean TV broadcasts/Rodong Shinmun are saying, etc. The North Korean Central Broadcasting TV dramas lately has taken great pains to show what happened in "valiant Korean revolutionary history in the past when sellouts cooperated with imperialist US and Japanese elements." Combined with increased vigilence throughout the party and secret police, and Kim going underground near Mt. Baektu for nearly 50 days during the bombing campaign on Iraq, this stuff is for real. I also believe a number of creative resources are in fact being pulled together as we speak: increased broadcasts into North Korea. Small radios being dropped. Balloon and flyer propaganda. Defections. Aerial/satellite surveillance. Seizure of DPRK ships. Kim must know that he is being closed in on. Our psywar is taking on some of the same dimensions of our psychologically-softening up Ba'athist Iraq in the 3-4 months prior to our military strike there.

Those abject scumbags Bill Clinton or Al Gore would continue to have done nothing, save send half-witted/half-brothers to bow before Kim Il Sung's idolatrous gold statue in Pyongyang (and get co-opted perhaps by female N.K. agents in the pretty but lethal "kipmujo" units invariably assigned to 'guide' him through DPRK), or have Mad Albright dance a shameless jig in the Worker's Stadium before a Nuremburg-like NK mass performance, and other such appeasing and naive nonsense.

Thank goodness the Reagan Doctrine adults--who know a little something about the methodology of bringing down Communist walls--are in charge and the people who are good at this trade and such matters have finally been given the green light and been unchained.
