Kim Yo-jong grows in clout as brother relapses

PYONGYANG ODYSSEY

Dec 10,2014

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is experiencing a relapse of his recent health problems, South Korean government officials said Monday.

According to the Ministry of Unification, Kim was limping severely in a video clip recently aired by the state-run Korean Central TV. He was limping particularly painfully at an event with female pilots that took place at the end of last month. The Rodong Shinmun, the Workers’ Party’s newspaper, reported Kim’s visit to the air base on Nov. 28 with photos, but no video was aired until Sunday afternoon.

The 30-year-old ruler of the North developed problems with his leg last spring. After his condition deteriorated, he withdrew from public activities for 40 days.

South Korean intelligence authorities have confirmed that Kim received ankle surgery by visiting French, Chinese and Russian doctors. The sources said there was a high possibility of a relapse after Kim quickly resumed his public activities.

Meanwhile, intelligence officials said Kim Yo-jong, the 25-year-old younger sister of the North’s ruler, has quickly risen in Pyongyang’s inner circle, possibly being groomed to succeed her brother in case of an emergency.

He's got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel and all he needs is a slight push.

This fruitcake reminds me of Henry VIII in his waning days. Henry VIII hunted down distant cousins on trumped-up charges and had them beheaded so they couldn't succeed him.

Doesn't seem to be the same girl. This photo is from the article and more in line with what I'd expect a neo Stalinist/Maoist aspiring female mass killer to look like.
