Did this US activist mastermind raid on North Korean embassy?

Spanish authorities claim Adrian Hong, a founder of Liberty in North Korea, led a group of 10 that stormed Pyongyang’s embassy in Madrid

In 2006, Hong was arrested in China while helping a group of North Korean defectors seek asylum

I do know that this group—while unclear and small—is giving the dictatorship in Pyongyang fits and they don’t like it a bit. They are marginal, but any kind of activity that foments internal dissent is an extreme threat to them. Recently they smuggled out videos of young North Koreans tearing down and defacing Kim Jong il and Kim Il Sung posters, if caught, the penalty for this is DEATH. And probably not very painless or merciful at that.

It cannot even be called an "Embassy" in a strict form of the word. More like a nest of spies and organized criminals. All DPRK "embassies" worldwide are in this operational mode, everything up to and including assassinations at the highest level:

Speaking of Boies Schiller & Flexner:

Cuomo received donation from Weinstein law firm before halting probe into his case
8/29/2018, 9:11:50 PM · by Beave Meister · 34 replies
Page Six ^ | 8/29/2018 | Nolan Hicks and Lia Eustachewich
A prominent law firm that formerly represented Harvey Weinstein handed over a $25,000 check to Gov. Andrew Cuomo‘s campaign six days before the governor called off a probe into the handling of sexual misconduct allegations against the disgraced movie mogul, public records show. The hefty contribution from Manhattan firm Boies Schiller & Flexner came on June 20, according to records on the state Board of Elections website. Less than a week later, Cuomo called for a six-month halt of state Attorney General Barbara Underwood’s investigation into Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance for deciding not to prosecute Weinstein for a 2015 groping...

Since this group is so interested in western-educated Kim Han Sol, who went to school in Bosnia, is it because the Global School there is perhaps one of Soros’ ventures?

Ah, not Soros but the brainchild of a German.

Anyway... here’s a chart of Kim relatives - assuming they continue to go the hereditary route for leadership:

Noting special here http://www.cheollimacivildefense.org/ and no real info about Kim Han-sol.

Just the ordinary rumors about Kim Fatty the Third. Why would Chinese doctors visit him as he does not trust China, if they were invited it was probably not on his orders.

We have to do what always is done about NK - wait: Will he appear in solid state or be walking in the rain.

But KCNA wrote:
Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) — Recently, abnormal weather phenomena were witnessed in the DPRK. It rained in certain areas and the temperature was so changeable.

In the period, the temperature went up as compared with the average. But from April 20, it went down suddenly. The maximum temperature on April 21 and 22 was less than 10 degrees centigrade in the eastern and western coastal areas and less than 4 degrees centigrade in the northern inland areas, 7-10 degrees lower than the average.

Sounds like very important news, perhaps they will use this in a few days to explain something ;-)

My sense is that he’s in a medically induced coma, Chinese docs working on him.
...........
Good intel that he went to Wonson to escape the bug.

We have great intel platforms offshore.

Yes, but not sure if the person at Wonson really was the fat one, as always with NK it is hard to know.

I will not cry if the fat one is gone. The big problem is to make sure that the financial burden on ROK will be OK. They can not pay for the upgrade of NK, neither can China.

How to keep it as a natural history museum for a few decades?

If you look at http://www.kcna.kp/kcna.user.home.retrieveHomeInfoList.kcmsf you can see that the Russians the last weeks have been trying to get closer to NK. The main policy of Russia is to spread problems everywhere. But today they have very little oil money left.
