Kim Jong-Un – Dead?

| April 25, 2020

Multiple media outlets in Europe (and here) and Asia and the Pacific (and here and here and here) are reporting that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un either died Saturday night (Korean time) or has entered a permanent vegetative state with no hope for recovery.

Not sure if these reports are accurate or not.  Mark Twain’s observation on reading accounts of his own demise might well be appropriate here instead.

But if these reports are accurate, things could get . . . interesting.

The Dork is dead? Long live the Dorkette?

LC

Un-dead? Fuck, like the world needs a zombie plague now.

I’m taking a wait-and-see approach for now. If he is dead, here’s to hoping it brings a sea change for the better to NK.

SFC D

I was hoping for zombies. All we got was a fookin’ virus. And idiots.

Roh-Dog

Never truer words…

Touché, sir!

Never seen that clip before. Thanks. How prescient of ol’ Bob, lo those many years ago.

AW1Ed

The rest of the movie, “The Ghost Breakers” is pretty bad, rgr. That clip is the best part.

OMG!

LC, for once we are in complete agreement. I’m just hoping that this COVID-19 overreaction hasn’t so weakened our nation financially that we can’t help the people of North Korea obtain a better life at long last.

The Other Whitey

Maybe we should kill it with white phosphorus. Y’know, just to be sure! Ya can’t be takin’ chances with this kind of thing!

xyzzy

Willie Peter will make you a believer! ;o)

Damn! There go my cheese futures!

NHSparky

Nah, you’re good. I hear there’s a certain former “C-130 pilot” cum security guard cum wife beater who still chows down a shitload of cheese every chance he gets.

Ex-PH2

Well, if that don’t just beat the biscuit dough….!

YAY?

We can only hope. Got some wishes for him:

Skippy

This would definitely be a game changer if true
But until word come out of North Korea
I’m not going to believe it

rgr769

I doubt it will be a game changer. Those bling festooned Nork generals and his sister will be hell-bent on maintaining their power and privilege at all costs.

A Proud Infidel®™

Maybe the resulting power vacuum might bring about some real change like an end to the commie Kim Dynasty!

NHSparky

IIRC, there was a bit of a delay both times previously so their successors could consolidate power.

Wouldn’t surprise me if a similar situation exists.

There seems to be a whole bunch of folks feeding bullshit to the American press. Some of it is “induce panic” like “Trump’s gonna declare martial law and use the army” or “won’t leave office” or “won’t hold election”

Bunk. Mostly left-base flogging efforts. Also likely some foreign crap-stirring.

Others are seemingly aimed at “gotcha” to the press. Get them frothing, then reveal it was bullshit.

The prestitutes keep falling for almost all of it, which is why their rep is in freefall. You would think they would learn.

Poetrooper

You may well be right, Mail. This could be another Chi-Com (sorry ’bout that Lars) geopolitical power play to keep everything in flux and off-balance.

11B-Mailclerk

Anything they say that is not immediately verifiable is bullshit until proven otherwise.

Kim hasn’t been seen in a while. “Why” TBD.

His sister may soon be “speaking for him”, or she may be observing the effects of anti-aircraft cannon.

That place is thrice weirder than most folks realize.

SFC D

Only Dennis Rodman understands it.

Mason

If true, his sister is the likely successor to take the throne according to many reports from last week.

If she does come to power, how quickly will the Western media gush over her again like they did at the S Korean Olympics?

26Limabeans

I tried to explain to my GF what likely became
of the losing Olympians upon return to NK.
She said I was just making it up.

A Proud Infidel®™

At best merely tortured like Sadaam Hussein’s son did returning Iraqi Olympians during that reign of terror.

Mason

Since Kim executes family with anti-aircraft artillery, I’d think being cut up and fed to the peasants would be the least they could expect.

Commissar

Thoughts and prayers.

ArmyATC

Interesting. Thoughts and prayers for a dictator, but celebration at elderly American citizens dying from the Chinese virus.

SFC D

I was hoping it was sarcasm.

NHSparky

Knowing the dipshit, probably not.

ArmyATC

It most likely was. But I’m never going to let the bastard forget how he wished for the deaths of elderly Americans he disagreed with politically.

rgr769

All the Commie dictators (and also his Antifa dick-taster pals) are his heroes.

HMCS(FMF) ret

It’s all about “the struggle” against DA MAN!

26Limabeans

Do you have an address we can send get well cards to?

HMCS(FMF) ret

Lars’ place is the provisional proxy consulate for DPRK in the US.

A Proud Infidel®™

Does Lars EVER have even the slightest thought independent of what his commie UC Berzerkely profs spoon feed him?

AW1Ed

This was bouncing around on the interwebs earlier this week, without resolution.

If true, Lil’ Kim’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, could be a player, at least in a transition role. The real power play could be among the military elites. Either way it likely won’t make a lot of difference to Joe Average NORK.

Slow Joe

Is she hott or nutt?

The Other Whitey

I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing. NDtBF’s sister is said to be equally evil, equally crazy, but also smarter. Fatboy was mostly content to be annoying and execute his relatives in creatively messy ways. I wonder if she might prove less manageable.

AW1Ed

“Well Pard, time for us to go our separate ways. Gonna miss you, but I’ll leave you this song.”

A Proud Infidel®™

Having done a tour in the ROK in the early 90’s when the Great Grandad evil Dictator was still on the commie throne, I remain skeptical until I hear further word. Kim Jong Un’s Sister could prove to be an even more evil Dictator.

26Limabeans

I can see a whole new remake of Un Dead movies.

When you’re the only fat kid in your entire country, your absence is noticed.

If he did have a coronary, the irony of “eating oneself to death in the midst of the famine one caused” is … sick.

There is an old-time Porky Pig cartoon, where he dreams he goes to Heck and gets Gluttoned, forceably. Pretty dark for kidvid.

I wonder…

I was going to have sausage and eggs for
breakfast this morning but I think I will
just have a bowl of Cherrios instead.

His passing, if true, would put a dent in Hennessy and Swiss Emmental cheese sales. But at the same time, his train being at Wonsan may not mean much.

Looking at Google Earth, the train was also parked at the “Wonsan Elite Railway Station” in their latest imagery of 11/13/2019. That imagery also shows the single runway next to the railway station had been replaced by lighted helipads for 3 birds.

His compound on the coast, with some elaborate looking houses, is located north across the river from the Songdowon International children’s camp and it’s waterpark. I’m sure their co-location is just a coincidence and not protection from aerial attack.

The sister has a twitter account. Not sure if it is really her as the account was made April 2020. This is the post from 4/25:

김정은 최고 지도자는 오늘 심장 마비로 이어지는 심장 수술로 인한 합병증으로 사망했습니다. 오늘 오후 12 시부 터 한국 노동당의 최고 지도자와 의장직을 맡겠습니다.🇰🇵 #KIMJONGUNDEAD

Top leader Kim Jong-un died of complications from heart surgery leading to a heart attack today. From 12:00 PM this afternoon, I will assume the top leadership and chairmanship of the Korean Labor Party.🇰🇵 #KIMJONGUNDEAD

This is from 3 hours ago (in english):
Kim Yo-JongFlag of North Korea
@KimYoJongDPRK
I am excited to work towards forging a new way forward for the DPRK.

rgr769

I am wondering if the ChiCom virus finished him off while he was recovering from cardiac surgery. If so, the ChiComs will never let that fact leak out. Imagine the reaction of the commie true believers in Norkland if they found out their Dear Leader was killed by the virus.

Only Army Mom

Actually, if the ChiCom bug did get him, they will use it as propaganda…because US soldiers planted the bug amongst their innocent northern neighbors

So if tubby ‘lil Kim-Cheese is dead, that runs the Obesity Rate in North Korea to ZERO PERCENT!
