NoKo Nuke Scientist who defected kills himself

Testing the new giant vibrator
A North Korean nuclear scientist who defected from North Korea committed suicide in his jail cell rather than return to the rogue nation and face the consequences meted out by the Kim Jong Un Goon Squad and Ping Pong champions.

Radio Free Asia identified the scientist as Hyun Cheol Huh [?] an unlucky soul who was detained in Shenyang, China, on November 4. He was then sent to Sinuiju about two weeks later, and it was there Hyun took the poison, the Korean Herald reported.

Hyun was the lead researcher at the physics center of the State Academy of Sciences in Pyongyang, according to Radio Free Asia. 

"He killed himself only a few hours after he was placed in solitary confinement at the State Security Department in Sinuiju city," the broadcaster said, unaware of the irony in the word "security."

"He died before he could be questioned about the reasons for his escape, who had helped him, and what his route had been," the report said.

Gee, I wonder if the reasons for his escape might have had something to do with his desire not to have to be forced to go tap-dancing in a mine field or play "Dodge Ballistics."

Hyun took leave from his job "because he was showing signs of anxiety over his research projects," in which he worked with high levels of radioactivity wearing only a 'hand-me-down' cheap Chinese hazmat suit that belonged to another nuclear scientist who hasn't been heard from in quite a while.

"Suddenly, he [Hyun] visited relatives near the border without letting his family know and without carrying valid documents for travel. And when he learned that the authorities were looking for him [in order to provide him with 'dancing lessons'] he simply disappeared," a source said.

Reports indicate that Hyun wanted to join up with other defectors and the Chinese were unaware of his identity when they were tipped off by North Korean intelligence.

On Friday, the Daily NK reported that North Korean troops are now ordered to shoot defectors trying to escape--even if they've made it to Chinese territory. If the troops refuse, they will face the firing squad themselves. If the firing squad refuses to shoot the troops who refuse to shoot defectors, they will be blown up in indescribable ways with Kim's own chubby hands.

This latest crackdown comes on the heels of a high-profile defection of a soldier whose dash to freedom was caught on camera.

NoKo body count on Google Earth

Kim about to receive his first merit badge
Based in Seoul, South Korea, a non-governmental organization called the Transitional Justice Working Group (TJWG) used Google Earth technology to allow North Korean defectors to "build a digital map of crimes against humanity in North Korea."

TJWG released a report on Wednesday after two years of research (merely one fifth the amount of time it took Mike Lindell to invent "My Pillow") and interviews with 375 North Korean defectors, that identifies what is believed to be grave sites, murder locations and government offices that "may be used for future investigation and prosecution of crimes against humanity." 

The technology identifies cremation sites, hangings, public executions and remote burial sites and said to be in close proximity to known detention facilities and labor camps (evidently to save on costs to transport the victims, dead or alive).

"The majority of burial and killing sites identified were in North Hamgyong Province, which borders China," states the report, and acknowledging that 221 of the 375 defectors came from this province.

The defectors identified 47 "body sites," called so because not all the dead were actually buried. "While the majority of these sites are burial sites, some of those identified by interviewees were sites where the bodies were not buried but rather abandoned, dumped, hidden without burial, or were storage sites for bodies yet to be buried or cremated."

TJWG data collected during the interviews, with the 100 informants initially, then another 275 in the second year, had the informants look at satellite imagery with basic landmark information such as rail lines in order to orient themselves. 

The defectors would then describe atrocities they knew about, allowing researchers to note the locations. In addition, they categorized the defector's relationship to the location or event, indicating if they were physically present, heard or saw directly what took place, or if they heard it merely as a rumor.

The data spans decades, even back to Kim Jong Il, the father of Un and former Supreme Leader.

The group claims this report is the first of its kind and was founded in 2014 by human rights advocates in international researchers. The purpose of the report is to attract more experts and informants to the cause of human rights.

The project, they say, is not trying to "establish individual criminal responsibility of given actors, but rather to expose in a transparent manner the extent of the violations committed and their systematic nature."

"It is our intention to provide our data to the relevant legal authorities at a time when we expect the necessary criminal investigation to take place."

In a recent Fox News Poll, 68 percent of voters are concerned about war with North Korea, which means that fully 32 percent of voters have their heads up in their nether regions.

Is Bashar "The Chin" Assad in bed with ISIS?

Sky News reports that Bashar "The Chin" al-Assad and ISIS may have struck a deal with each other regarding the battleground. That is, Assad and ISIS may have agreed to certain unspoken rules of where they will engage.

One such deal was over the city of Palmyra.

The files obtained by Sky News show that the militant groups has been training foreign jihadists much longer than security services originally suspected and that a network of sleeper cells is spread across Europe and is planning further attacks in the style of Brussels and Paris.

ISIS defectors have revealed to the news agency that Palmyra was returned to Assad's government forces by ISIS as part of cooperative agreements from years ago, and letters obtained by Sky News, along with over 22,000 files seem to confirm this.

The new letters show that there is an agreement with the Assad regime to withdraw ISIS weapons from Palmyra. There is also a deal between the two groups to trade oil and fertilizer, and that Assad told ISIS about impending attacks and had the merry band of scumcrumpets evacuated before the Syrian army attacked.

It seems fairly obvious that there is collusion between ISIS and Assad. 

Now all we need to know is if there is any collusion between Saudi Arabia and CIA Director John Brennan over the 9/11 secret documents regarding Saudi Arabia's possible involvement.
