North Korea’s Kim Jong Un reportedly executes officials after failed Hanoi summit with US
CNBC ^ | 05-30-2019 | Reuters

North Korea executed Kim Hyok Chol, its special envoy to the United States, and foreign ministry officials who carried out working-level negotiations for the second U.S.-North Korea summit in February, holding them responsible for its collapse, a South Korean newspaper reported on Friday.

Kim Yong Chol, a senior official who had been U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s counterpart in the run-up to the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi, is also said to have been subjected to forced labor and ideological education, the Chosun Ilbo reported.

The North Korean leader is believed to be carrying out a massive purge to divert attention away from internal turmoil and discontent, the newspaper said.

“Kim Hyok Chol was investigated and executed at Mirim Airport with four foreign ministry officials in March,” an unnamed North Korea source said, according to the Chosun Ilbo, adding that they were charged with spying for the United States.

Kim Hyok Chol had been negotiations counterpart to U.S. special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun before the summit.

“The North Korean government and its purportedly dear leader Kim Jong-un have demanded that each able-bodied citizen produce and deliver 220 lbs of feces per day in order to combat the country’s fertilizer crisis and declining economy.”

Only CNN could deliver that level of production.

Once evil takes takes control of the citizens, the people are helpless. It is better to never give up your gun.

Evil has clever ways to full conformity. How many Dictators lose that control is few.

Each Friday every cotizens meets, and anyone suspected of disagreeing is executed.

You become helpless to total control.

One might read this, may indeed be a false story, I do believe I remember the one time, a military officer was reported executed but he showed up at a later date in good health and wasn’t even demoted.

Who does this story hurt? This story may make the Prez look bad too, “doing business with a ruthless murderer”, well, he’s been purported to have been that for some time including his half-brother, RIP. I’m now doubting the story.

There was one execution in the last year where the guy said to be executed, a military official later showed up.

‘’’’each able-bodied citizen produce and deliver 220 lbs of feces per day’’’

Perhaps we could send them bullsh** from our politicians.
