The only reason I am uncertain whether KJU is dead is that I doubt that the DPRK would have released the information so quickly. When KJI died it was several days before even the first leak

It's been over an hour and 15 minutes now and I can't find it anywhere else than here ... not online, not on CNN or other news stations.

So what gives

Too bad he missed the chance to go from villain to hero in the end. Too bad for everybody.

US media have spread the news of Kim's death, but apparently no one has evidence

A train thought to belong to Kim Jong-un has been spotted at his compound in a resort town on the country’s east coast, according to satellite images, amid conflicting reports about the North Korean leader’s health and whereabouts.

I repeat my last comment

"I wait until the official North Korea annonce the death of KJU.

Until then I take notice that there are rumours about his death."

I have heard nothing but rumours nothing official from NK.

They just add the finishing touches to his clone.


Serious, from Die Welt:

Quote:
Rumors have been circulating for days that North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un is dead. In fact, some things make you think. This includes not only that he was missing for the first time in the annual festivities for the founder of the state, but also that he belonged to the Corona risk group.

Is North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un still alive or did he die on Wednesday? And what happens if he were dead? Pyongyang remains silent. It always does so on such questions. Only the following is secured.

First. Kim performed for the last time at a Politburo meeting on April 11. At the meeting of his bogus parliament two days later, he was absent. Likewise on April 15th at the annual ceremony of the founder of the state, Kim Il-sung, in his mausoleum. It was the first time that Kim missed this appointment.

Secondly. Last Monday, CNN reported that Kim was at utmost risk of dying. Donald Trump did not say that this was "fake news". He said cautiously that the message was "probably" wrong. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that America is "closely monitoring" the situation.

For the first time in more than six years, the aunt of the North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un has appeared in public again. The state media showed pictures on which the 73-year-old can be seen during a concert visit in Pyongyang.

Third. On Tuesday, China's internet said Beijing had sent a team of doctors. On Thursday, NKNews, a specialist in North Korea, found the news in a Chinese doctor chat that the doctors were eight minutes late. Kim is dead.

That was also said by a journalist whose uncle was China's foreign minister from 2003 to 2007. Beijing did not immediately censor the reports, contrary to its practice.

Fourth. Kim has brought relatives in key positions since New Year's Eve. His sister came to the Politburo.

An uncle who has returned from Vienna, says the South Korean MP and former North Korean envoy in London Thae Yong-ho, can become head of the transition state. South Korea's government meanwhile says Kim is recovering.

Does he have Corona? Kim does not wear a mask, although he is at risk with being overweight and smoking. A mask would have undermined the propaganda that demigod Kim was invincible.

If the virus defeats him, a clique of officials could stabilize the regime, like after Stalin's and Mao's death. Or it breaks down like the GDR. Or Kim shows up again - and all the excitement was in vein.

Thank you Sky that's more information than we are getting over here ...

Something tells me he died last thursday and our intelligence agencies know it, but it's so serious that the next move is up to who?

His sister bumped him off in a well planned power grab, that'd be my guess.

Historically not the most reliable of sources but less than an hour old.

If he is still alive little Rocket Man has a big ego thing that he wants the news to be about him instead of Covid-19 ...

Look how many rockets he's been firing off recently adds to the mystery
