US has N. Korea defector in custody after his months of detainment in the hermit nation

North Korea has released Travis King since holding him in detainment since July.

King has been held by North Korean authorities since July 18, when he reportedly made a dash toward the darkness of NoKo while with a tour group as he ran into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that is between North and South Korea.

The government of North Korea stated on Wednesday that it was planning the return of U.S. Army Pvt. Travis King to U.S. custody according to state-run news agencies.

"The relevant organ of the [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] decided to expel Travis King, a soldier of the U.S. Army who illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK, under the law of the Republic," state media outlet Korean Central News Agency wrote, according to translations provided by Yonhap News Agency.

Since King's capture, there has been no contact with him and officials from North Korea have been intentionally vague when responding to U.S.'s begging for his return.

The incident occurred after the private finished approximately two months in a South Korean detention facility after he physically assaulted South Korean locals, according to a senior defense official who spoke with Fox News on Tuesday. He made it clear while being held in detention that he did not want to return to the United States, according to the official. 

King was released on July 10 and sent home to Fort Bliss where he faced additional military discipline under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and possible discharge from the military. He has faced no less than two additional assault-related allegations in South Korea.

He was fined $3,950 by the court in February as he was convicted of assaulting an unidentified person. He also damaged a police vehicle in Seoul in October of last year, according to a transcript of the verdict which was obtained by the Associated Press.

The deserter admitted to crossing into North Korea according to their state media and he allegedly told them he did so because of "inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army."

He was evidently upset that unlike BLM, he didn't get away with the violence he unleashed on people.

"During the investigation, Travis King confessed that he had decided to come over to the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army," KCNA reported. "He also expressed his willingness to seek refuge in the DPRK or a third country, saying that he was disillusioned at the unequal American society."

Yeah, sure. 

King's mother, in an apparent effort to help her son avoid being charged with a high crime, disputed the reports from North Korea, saying that her son had no motivation to defect to the totalitarian nation. 

Maybe he just did a Biden and accidentally tripped over the DMZ into the arms of North Korea.

SHOTS FIRED! NoKo reportedly opens fire on SoKo guard post at DMZ

BREAKING -- North Korea has reportedly fired shots at a South Korean guard post in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) Saturday night. In response, South Korean military personnel returned fire.

Fortunately, the troops were members of the "gang that couldn't shoot straight" or they purposely tried to not hit a human target. Nobody was struck by gunfire in the incident.

Former newspaper, The New York Times reported. “The South said it was contacting the North through a military hotline to prevent the situation from escalating. It remained unclear why the North fired the shots.”

Kim is over the moon with Moon

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in a surprised meeting at the demilitarized zone (DMZ) Saturday. The apparent purpose of the meeting is to keep relationships between the two countries and a possible summit between President Trump and Kim on track. 

We don't know much about what was said at the meeting but South Korea's presidential office announced the two-hour meeting that the leaders met on the north side of the DMZ and discussed how to successfully state a summit between Trump and Kim.

This clearly has angered the women of The View and the leftist media who would rather see Trump fail than to see world peace. They couldn't contain their smiles after the meeting was initially called off by President Trump.

Kim slays 'em

The one job more hazardous than being a New York City gypsy cab driver above 98th Street on the East Side, is being a political officer in North Korea.

The Hermit Kingdom is going full-guns on top political officers to prevent the regime from falling apart under incredible pressure caused by international sanctions, says General Vincent K. Brooks, the top commander in South Korea.

Speaking at the Wall Street Journal, Brooks said the people Kim is ordering as items for target practice are being accused of corruption. Recent reports suggest that a key figure of Kim Jong Un's inner circle was reportedly executed by death squad.

"We're seeing some increase in executions, mostly against political officers who are in military units, for corruption," Brooks said. "[The executions] are really about trying to clamp down as much as possible on something that might be deteriorating and keeping it from deteriorating too quickly."

Brook's comments came after rumors that Hwang Pyong-so, a vice marshal who held a top senior post in North Korea's military, was reportedly expelled and "punished" for "impure attitude." 

Hwang hasn't been seen since Oct. 13. South Korea's spy agency reported back in March that Hwang and his deputy, Kim Won-hong, were killed according to Yonhap News Agency.

Kim Won-hong was supposedly sentenced to a year in a NoKo prison camp. As for Hwang, many of Kim Jong Un's latest actions indicate that the one guy Kim Jong Un trusted for around ten years, has been executed, possibly be the same firing squad that killed Kim's uncle, Jang Song Thaek.

Gen. Brooks said that North Koreans are defecting via routes that were rarely used before, such as crossing the Demilitarized Zone. Two North Korean soldiers have defected through the Joint Security Area in less than a year, which was a way rarely seen previously.

But you can be sure, in spite of the immense international sanctions place against North Korea, their leader, Kim Jong Un, is not starving, only his people are.

NoKo says strike on US is 'inevitable' as we fly bombers off coast

North Korea's foreign minister, Ri Yong Ho, (aka 'Young Ho') under threat of being anti aircraft-gunned by the rogue nation's leader, called U.S. President Trump "a mentally deranged person full of megalomania." Ironically, Ho has no background in psychology, other than an evening adult ed class, so it's quite possible that his diagnosis of President Trump is wrong, especially given the fact that he never interviewed him diagnostically or otherwise.

As his daughter, Heidi, sat in the audience, Ho promised that  a strike on the U.S. mainland was "inevitable" in the speech he made at the UN General Assembly.

The Ho address began as the Pentagon announced that it had flown some badass bombers and fighter jet escorts to the farthest point north of the Korean DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), going farther than any such U.S. aircraft this century.

Defense Department spokesman, Dana White, said in a statement "This mission is a demonstration of U.S. resolve and a clear message that the president has many military options to defeat any threat."

White added, "North Korea's weapons program is a grave threat to the Asia-Pacific region and the entire international community. We are prepared to use the full range of military capabilities to defend the U.S. homeland and our allies."

According to the Pentagon, B-1B bombers from Guam, and F-15C Eagle fighter escorts from Okinawa, Japan, flew in international airspace over waters east of North Korea on Saturday.

Unlike other "show of force" missions, our birds were not accompanied by South Korean or Japanese planes. We simply wanted to show North Korea just how big our gonads are.

"While conducted unilaterally, this mission was coordinated with regional allies--namely the Republic of Korea [aka South Korea] and Japan--and was a strong testament to our ironclad alliance," U.S. Pacific Command spokesman Cmdr. Dave Benham told Fox News.

On Friday, Trump went on the rhetorical offensive against Adipose Kim.

"Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before," Trump tweeted. He had previously announced increased economic sanctions against NoKo on Thursday. The sanctions will target any countries that do business with North Korea, but this is really aimed at China, who does almost 90 percent of the North's trade.

Due to the fact that President Trump spoke about North Korea, the liberal mainstream media and Democrats tried to put words in his mouth, accusing him of threatening NoKo preemptively.

Trump's words:

"North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile development is a grave threat to peace and security in our world and it is unacceptable that others financially support this criminal, rogue regime."

Kim (aka 'Rocket Man') went ballistic hours later saying Trump was "deranged."

It's like the pot calling the kettle 'stoned'.

On a positive note, it looks like Trump has gotten China and Russia on board with the sanction program and it's possible that China could severely impede NoKo's ability to fund its missile and nuclear program.

And while fat Kim is saying Trump would "pay dearly" for threatening to "totally destroy" his hell-hole of a country if the U.S. had to defend ourselves or our allies against a North Korea attack, hopefully the sanctions will put an end to the bluster.
