North Korea powerbroker 'dismissed'

[Jimbuna]

It looks like this guy was saved because of his family connection perhaps?

A powerful uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been removed from his post, South Korean media reports say.

Citing South Korea's intelligence agency, they say Chang Song-thaek, 67, lost his position as vice-chairman of the North's top military body.

Two close aides were also executed for corruption, according to the reports.

People believe this....?

N Korea is a closed circuit government, nothing escapes them unless it is put out. There is no such thing as leaks, as they follow a Stalinesque type kill and repress system.

I refuse to believe this propaganda, it is intended to stir fear in Korean populace, and caution to outside governments, but not true in any way.


Goebbels would love this place, you guys buy everything your told at face value, without trying tointerpret why or what, and if it craps on America in some way, it is always true, as we are the new Pariah

Go on, he is a great ally. Kim Jong ding dong.

Uncle Kim, anti American hero, I can see the propaganda vids now!

Why do we tolerate this, (oh China and Russia lap his backside like a dog licking peanut butter off a womans privates.)

(edit: Bring it Kimmy, China and Russia are sick of your crap at this point, and willing to let us rape you for fun and profit)

I am sure we will cut them in.

Here are the pictures of his removal:

I'm with soopaman. This is most likely a farce. Not what it seems. Or maybe a misleading justification. And don't forget what happened to young Kim's former girlfriend.
NK might just as well be in another planet.

They are as far as they are concerned.

NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA! :stare:

[kraznyi_oktjabr]

NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA! :stare:No, no, my son. :stare: There is only one Korea - Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Southern part of our great nation - the Greatest on Earth mind you - is just temporarily occupied by vile capitalist regime supported by American imperialists. You clearly need some re-education...

:O:

[eddie]

Well Jim, looks like he's gotten a little more then dismissed,lol

[vienna]

That's one hell of severance package...


<O>

[Tchocky]

I'd like to go on the record as saying I'm very fond of all my uncles.

[vienna]

I am sure they are relieved to hear that...


<O>

[Onkel Neal]

Monstrous.

[Aktungbby]

"Dissolute and depraved"..."back door dining"..."other women"!!!

He should'a tried the 'Afluenza' defence to put a new slant on a corruption beef! :woot:"

[Schroeder]

I'm starting to get the feeling that the new Kim is even worse than the old nut job.:-?

[Spiced_Rum]

Think that it is time for Team America 2.

[Tango589]

Of all the charges including a disasterous financial policy, having an operation in a foreign country, drinking, distributing porn among his friends, gambling and dreaming different dreams, the most heineous has to be "clapping half-heartedly in meetings"! Christ, how far would I get in his government with my tendency to nod off during corporate roadshows? :o

[Oberon]

Quite surprised this has made headline news, if I'm honest, this is the DPRK, it's Stalinist Russia on steroids, purges are hardly uncommon, admittedly this chap is a pretty high profile casualty, but this is, to be honest, pretty standard procedure for a North Korean leader who is cementing his powerbase, we had all the sabre rattling earlier this year to 'prove' his strength against the American and South Korean imperialists, and now he's cleaning house internally.

Business as usual in Pyongyang.

Yupper; the used parts business can be brutal; Methinks I see a chink in the heretofore imperturbable N. Korean shieldwall...:yep::yeah:

[Skybird]

The one does what he is, the other got what he was. Xmas is a family thing even in North Korea, it seems.

[Jimbuna]

Business as usual then.

[eddie]

Might be the first of many executions over there.

[Jimbuna]

I should imagine anyone sitting around the dinner table with him on xmas day will have a sudden loss of appetite.

[Skybird]

But they won't let it show, but praise the cook - enthusiastically...! :D

[eddie]

:haha::agree:

[Jimbuna]

When it comes to pulling the cracker make sure you lose :o

Kim's got a new video game...

Another round of purges may be in progress.


North Korean business people are being recalled from China following the execution of top official, Chang Song-thaek, says a South Korean report. Leader Kim Jong-un may be purging associates of Mr Chang, who was in charge of economic ties with China.
If they're smart they'll go to ground in China if they can. Sounds like anybody connected with Uncle is getting expunged from history.

[Jimbuna]

Exciting times over there then :hmm2:

[Mr Quatro]

It's a cover up I tell you ... I figured out what really happened to Uncle Chang: http://news.yahoo.com/chinese-lunar-probe-lands-moon-report-132351891.html
