The July Issue of Wolgan Chosun reports that the purge is for reining on Jang brothers.

| Jang Sung-thaek |
Jang Sung-thaek(age:56), the brother-in-law of N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il and his close confidante, who was the First Vice Director of Organization Supervision Dept(for administration and public security) of N. Korean Worker's Party, was put under house arrest by the order of Kim Jong-il. The July Issue of magazine Wolgan Chosun reported the news on June 17.
According to the magazine, S. Korean intelligence agency verified that Jang has been under the intensive investigation by the (Worker's) Party for the charge of 'factionalist behavior' and 'power abuse', and was recently put under house arrest. His house arrest resulted from the Party's investigation in which they uncovered an extravagant wedding of children of a high level official at Jang's Organization Supervision Dept.(Feb., 2004.) Jang and many of his close associates attended the wedding. After this was uncovered, Kim Jong-il instructed they should be severely punished.
Kim Jong-il transfered the control of the General Bureau of Overseas Insurance, the General Bureau of Poultry, and General Corporation of Horticulture to the (N. Korean ) Cabinet. The three organizations used to be controlled by Jang. Many of Jang's associates who attended the wedding, including Lee Kwang-keun, Trade Minister, Park Myung-chol, the Chairman of Sports Supervisory Committee, were fired and sent to rural villages. N. Korea is now reportedly conducting the all-out investigation of 80 high level officials who are the associates of Jang.
The analysis of experts on N. Korea concluded that the real reason for Jang's house arrest is to neuralize the powerful clout of Jang brothers. Jang's elder brother, Vice Marshall Jang Sung-woo, is the director of Civil Defense Dept. of the Party and his younger brother, Major General Jang Sung-gil is the commissar of 820 Armored Corps. The experts also pointed out that Jang Sung-thaek's (marital) separation from his wife, Kim Kyung-hee, could be also a contributing factor. Kim Kyung-hee is the younger sister of Kim Jong-il.

Mushrooms!!!
Don't laugh, there's actually a Pear Bureau here in Washington State.
The "off the ears"-bouffant look doesn't sit well with the "Dear Leader". It looks like somebody started to scalp him and was then interrupted and didn't finish the job.
"The General bureau of Poultry" Man, that is getting sent down but hard!
Regards,
Good!
May there be a massive Purge, and then a massive backlash from those being Purged.
There is nothing as satisfying as a war between gangs of thugs.
Thanks, Old Kim Chee looks a lot worse for the wear.
He is thinner, his face looks like hell, and his hair looks like he styled it with a 220 volt live wire.
"Don't laugh, there's actually a Pear Bureau here in Washington State" - Hillary for Pear Bureau Chief! The physical ideal!
Wow - very astute analysis - You sound like you know your stuff. However, I sort of lost you with all the players. If you were to repeat all their names real fast, it would sound like you dropped a drawer of silverware.
"If anyone deserves to be caught up in a purge it's Kim's barber."
I heard that the last person to be executed was the journalist who asked him in an interview about the United States, "who cut your hair?"
As the old saying goes: "Unesy lies the head that wears a crown".
Believe it or not, I heard this mini mutt Kim Jong actually has an obsession with the internet and looks up everything written about him. Someone should create a website on this guy and just rip him a new one. "How does he cut his hair? He gets electrocuted in the groin every morning" or "How short is Kim? He is so short, once he met Emanuel Lewis and thought he was a center for the Knicks."
Very good presentation of "All In The Family", North Korean style! This article is timely because I recall a short time back, a poster, claiming to have contacts inside intelligence organizations, said it couldn't be an assassination because there had been no wholesale arrests. Well, the arrests have begun. And now it will be interesting to see what else filters out of NK before our November elections.

.... and was then sentenced to die the death of a thousand [Bad hair] cuts!
[Reckon he gets it cut with a knife and fork?]
And the other old saying: "There's no honor among thieves".
You could see this coming. He can't very easily purge the Chinese can he? On the other hand, the fact that he's shaking things up is going to make it more difficult for the Chinese to make another stab at bumping him off.
