The intelligence authorities are trying to verify the intelligence that something went wrong with Kim Jong-il (age: 65) on June 20, the day before the visit by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill. Intelligence sources in Seoul said on June 22, "We won't reveal the source but we picked up signs that Kim Jong-il's health is in trouble. S. Korea and U.S. intelligence are trying to find out if it is true."
They also added, "There are indications that Guards Bureau, which is responsible for the security of Kim Jong-il, and Security Command of N. Korean Military are stepping up their activities. Five days ago, N. Korean border guards with their arms cross the border over to Kaisantun, Longjing, China, which prompted Chinese to suspect that something was going wrong inside N. Korea."
Kim Jong-il made a string of visits to factories located in mountainous northern part of Jagang and N. Pyongan area early June. There is no report on Kim's activities from N. Korea's state media since June 17. The government authorities are skeptical, saying "If something went wrong with Kim Jong-il, how could they allow Assistant Secretary Hill into N. Korea?"
Lee Young-jong
Kim Jong-il could go at any time. His condition appears to be much more serious than what is reported in the media. The Kim Jong-il figure which showed up at (the celebration of) N. Korean military's founding is not a real one, but his Kagemusha, that is, a carbon copy of him.
Ping!
May he find his Savior in his final moments. That's all that's left after a worthless life.
I wonder if he’s going to die five or six times before he finally gets it right?
Who is the successor to the ‘dear leader’
I'm not dead yet....I think I'll go for a walk....
Only the good die young. He’ll be around another 100 or so years.
I hope the “company” did a better job on him than they did on the beard.
it’s because he’ so ronery
I Still RONERY !!!
German doctors?
He probably just ate some tainted gluten from China.
So who’ll be the successor to the “Dear Leader” who was the successor to the “Great Leader”? Taking it to the logical conclusion, it should be “Gay Leader”!
Tertiary syphillis??
Bow Wow!
The Lord will not be mocked forever.
Sounds like lil Kim’s time is coming to a close.
Maybe they’ll join the human race.
Crap happens.
Elvis is smiling.
“Who is the successor to the ‘dear leader’”
Whomever the Chinese say. They are in charge of the situation there, or at least, have a lot to say about things. Great Leader (Dead Jong-Il) was the pet project of Chairman Mao, but the current leadership view Dear Leader (Ill Jong-Il) as “bad for business”.
The Chinese became alarmed enough after the faux nuke explosion to step in and suggest that they’d be willing to facilitate regime change — and that has brought us to the point where an American diplomat can come to DPRK and talk.
Maybe we can lose him and Castro on the same day???
“May he find his Savior in his final moments. “
BTW, it’s possible that his father, Kim Il Sung, did do. (The elder Kim’s mother was a Christian.) Kim built a church and allowed Billy Graham to address a large assembly of army officers. (Having not been told how they were to respond, they all sat silently without expression.) He also apparently was going to route the succession to his own younger brother instead of Kim Jung Il, and modify the regime’s strictness. But suddenly he—and quite possibly some other top officials—abruptly died, perhaps all on the same day. (Coincidence, of course...)
PyongYang used to be known as the “Jerusalem” of Korea, with many churches (before the communist takeover.)
The Kim regime in North Korea would be condemned by the likes of Lenin or even Stalin, as Kim Il Sung and his depraved son Kim Jong Il blended what was once considered pure Communist ideology with the worst kind of nepotism and dynastic behavior.
The Kims came up with that whole ‘juche’ philosophy which is nothing more than rehashed ‘self-determination’, and with this latest news out of Pyongyang?
It means that Number One Juchebag is about to check out!
Yes he is. Earlier this year he even showed some improvement but he is still in a coma.
Come to think of it, I haven't heard of any updates on Franco lately.
So who is in line to succeed the old jerk?
“Me so ronery”
How about throwing in a few of our favorite Rats as well?
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Ruth Graham spent some of her childhood in what’s now North Korea as a missionary’s daughter, did she not?
I wonder, was it the Kentucky bourbon or the Tennessee sour mash whiskey that did him in?
Someone posted the most likely successions awhile back. Did you save that post?
Did he host any Russian visitors bearing Polonium?
Why don't you try hanging out for a while rather than jumping in and foolishly criticizing one of the most valuable members of Free Republic?
It is clear that you have failed to realize that the poster, TigerLikesRooster, has personally translated the article into fluent English for our benefit. That's the reason for the "/begin my translation " and "/end my translation" blocks.
By the way, welcome to Free Republic. I don't think you are going to be around for long, and certainly not if you are just going to wing it and start criticizing things that you don't even understand --- and for that matter, Korean Hangul is not even ideogrammatic, it's alphabetic.
There are a few posters here who post original translations, generally from Korean and Japanese. I believe that TigerLikesRooster is the most prolific, with AmericanInTokyo the second most.
Maybe Following Leader?
Do we see a power struggle within the military for control?
He didn’t post a link to an ideogram site. The Korean’s have phonetic alphabet just like we do. It dates back to the 15th century. Get your facts right.
Does he have an appointed successor or could there be a power free-for-all?
I just hope it’s painful...that’s all.
In your opinion what's the likely outcome? From what little I remember of the Kim kids being in the news none of them seem to be overly bright - didn't one try to sneak into Japan on a fake passport to go to Disneyland? Is one faction smarter or more cunning than the others? Is there one that the military seems to prefer over the others?
Of course here comes at least a hundred comments hoping for a gruesome and painful death.
When he dies, we are faced with an unknown.
A known enemy is far better than an unknown one.
He has already proved that even though he is into alot of military bells and whistles, he is not a serious threat.
He might be replaced by someone as volatile as Castro in his early years. Then, all bets are off.
I hate it when some idjit just spouts the party line.
See my comment #31.
