Kim Jong-Un back to his old ways of executing his staff and family

In an austerity move to save on the high cost of anti-aircraft ammunition, but at the expense of his personal amusement, North Korean dictator for life, Kim Jong-Un has resorted to the dependable good old firing squad to dispose of people who, as he sees it, screw up or refuse to kiss his royal "flush."

The chubby leader of the hermit nation had his nuclear envoy to the United States executed along with several other officials who were involved in negotiations for a nuclear deal with us but didn't get the job done. This comes from a report out of South Korea, the sane nation below them on the map.

"Kim Hyok Chol was executed in March at Mirim Airport in Pyongyang, along with four foreign ministry executives after they were all charged with spying for the United States, the Chosun Ilbo reported, citing an unidentified source with knowledge of the situation," Reuters reported Thursday. The spying part of the claim is Kim Jong-Un's default position to provide the excuse to execute.

The source who spoke with the South Korean newspaper said, "He was accused of spying for the United States for poorly reporting on the negotiations without properly grasping U.S. intentions." This may have been due to a language barrier, but hey, a screw up is a screw up.

The New York Times, a former newspaper, reports that the Chosun Ilbo reported that Hyok Chol was accused of being "won over by the American imperialists to betray the supreme leader." Perhaps they bribed him with food.

The Times said that in recent weeks, South Korean analysts began "to speculate that Mr. Kim may be engineering a reshuffle or a purge of his negotiating team in the wake of the summit meeting, held in February in Hanoi, Vietnam. The meeting was widely seen as a huge embarrassment for Mr. Kim, who is supposedly seen as infallible in his totalitarian state." So rather than lose weight, he lost face and this was not to be tolerated by the friend of Dennis Rodman.

"On Thursday, Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party, carried a commentary warning against 'anti-party, anti-revolutionary acts' of officials who 'pretend to work for the supreme leader in his presence but secretly harbor other dreams [like a good meal] behind his back," The Times added.

"'Such characters won’t escape the stern judgment from the revolution,' the North Korean newspaper said. North Korean state media has issued such warnings when it needed to engineer a political purge or warn against possible lagging loyalty among the elites, South Korean analysts said."

Reuters added that, according to the South Korean newspaper, "Kim Song Hye, who led preparations as part of Kim Yong Chol’s team, and Sin Hye Yong, a newly elevated interpreter for the Hanoi summit," were sent to prison camps as punishment.

Neither Reuters nor The Times was able to independently verify the reports out of South Korea.
