Precisely as predicted here, the other day, the Norks apparantly have a gruesome, chilling videotape of the execution of Jang's associates, and their subsequently being given the flame thrower treatment, and this is being arbitrarily shown around North Korea to party and military with the caveat that "you will get this if you, too, oppose the Leader and the State." True to the old Stalinist days of NKVD terror rule, they learned well from the big brother Soviets.

And these jackasses in the international and US liberal media were telling us three years ago that fat bastard young Kim Jong Un just might represent a new opening to the DPRK since he was "westernized" and more "modern thinking" and "likes basketball."

True. The left also keeps trying that everytime the Ayatollah allows a new leader in Iran.... “ooh this time he’s different...”... they even tried that with Raul Castro. No doubt they probably did it with every change at the top of the Soviet Union.
