Default North Korea powerbroker 'dismissed'

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

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.

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

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?

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