North Korea Executes Kim Jong-un's Uncle Jang Song-thaek

It's really no surprise that the Pillsbury Dough Boy's evil twin would eventually execute his very own uncle Jang Song-thaek after the initial purge. I mean, it's not the first time he's had someone close to him killed. Back in August he publicly executed an ex-girlfriend, popular singer Hyun Song-wol, and 11 other prominent North Korean musicians, on charges of pornography. I doubt there was any truth to those charges, but what the hey. He's the DPRK's God and he can do whatever he wants.

The official reason for Jang Song-thaek's removal and execution was for a panoply of criminal acts he purportedly committed and blamed on his "capitalist way of living," including:

In his personal life, Jang was “dissolute and depraved,” as well as corrupt.
“By abusing his power, he was engrossed in irregularities and corruption, had improper relations with several women, and was wined and dined at back parlors of deluxe restaurants,” the North said. “Ideologically sick and extremely idle and easygoing, he used drugs and squandered foreign currency at casinos while he was receiving medical treatment in a foreign country under the care of the party.”

Ironic since Kim Jong-un's daddy, Kim Jong-il, was just as dissolute and depraved:

"..he starved, tortured and kept his people in poverty, all the while living a lavish lifestyle. He is said to have deposited 4 billion dollars in banks in Luxembourg, just in case. A hedonist, he regularly chomped on lobster (with silver chopsticks), airlifted big macs from China, had 10,000 bottles of alcohol in his cellar, and had his personal chefs (many of whom were kidnapped and eventually fled) fetch caviar and other delicacies from around the world. And yet his people starved."

And no doubt the current "Dear Leader" is following in daddy's footsteps.

The Washington Post has published the full Pyonyang statement of  his other terrible crimes, one of which was not clapping heartily enough. No joke.

We all know this was just a great way of ridding himself of the second most powerful man in the DPRK, consolidating power, and keeping all his politburo underlings in line, not to mention the ordinary citizens of North Korea.

I would be very surprised if there isn't more purging of the old guard.

Merrill Newman (85) "Prisoner of War" In North Korea Apologizes For "Hostile Acts"

With so many incredible places to travel throughout the world what would possess someone to add North Korea to their bucket list? Merrill Newman (85) apparently thought it would be pretty cool, had wanted to do so for a long time, even studied the language, so off he went on a nine day trek to the shithole that is the DPRK. On October 26th, he and his buddy Bob Hamrdla were on a plane ready to fly home to Palo Alto when he was removed by a uniformed DPRK officer, and he has been sitting somewhere in that country ever since.

According to Newman's son Jeffrey:

"My dad got off, walked out with the stewardess, and that's the last he was seen."

Until now, no-one knew for sure what was going on, or why he was detained, other than some info from his traveling companion who said the old fool got into it with some DPRK officials about his time there during the 1950-53 Korean War. Not the smartest thing to do considering there never was a peace treaty so technically the two Koreas are still at war, and the certifiably insane leadership keeps the memory of that war fresh in the minds of the people on a daily basis.

Son Jeff seemed to think that his father would be released after North Korea realized they made a mistake and that Merrill was simply an "elderly traveler, a grandfather with a heart condition." But that doesn't seem likely any time soon, since we now have a 'confession' from Merrill, admitting to war crimes.



Of course, it's doubtful those are his words, but he's obviously playing their game.

Regarding his arrest:

The Korean Central News Agency released the following report on Saturday:

A relevant institution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea recently put in custody U.S. citizen Merrill Edward Newman who committed hostile acts against the DPRK after entering the country under the guise of a tourist. After entering the DPRK as a member of tourists' group in October he perpetrated acts of infringing upon the dignity and sovereignty of the DPRK and slandering its socialist system, quite contrary to the purpose of tour. He also committed such crime as trying to look for spies and terrorists who conducted espionage and subversive activities against the DPRK in the area of Mt. Kuwol during the last Fatherland Liberation War as well as their families and descendants and connect them with the "Kuwol Partisan Comrades-in-Arms Association," an anti-DPRK plot-breeding organization of south Korea. According to the results of the investigation, he was active as adviser of "Kuwol Unit" of the UN Korea 6th Partisan Regiment part of the Intelligence Bureau of the Command of the U.S. Forces in the Far East since early in 1953. He is a criminal as he masterminded espionage and subversive activities against the DPRK and in this course he was involved in killings of service personnel of the Korean People's Army and innocent civilians. The investigation clearly proved Newman's hostile acts against the DPRK and they were backed by evidence. He admitted all his crimes and made an apology for them.

The San Jose Mercury News has some interesting information regarding Newman's part during the war including:

New revelations that 85-year-old Merrill Edward Newman had served in a once-top-secret U.S. Army unit nicknamed the "White Tigers.''

And that he trained anti-communist guerrillas fighting in North Korea. Even more reason not to go there. Kim Chang-Sun, one of those fighters he trained, believes the North Koreans knew who he was.

"Those bastards already knew Newman before the war was over. They obtained the roster of our entire regiment."

I feel terrible for the old man, but if my dad had fought over there and wanted to take a trip to North Korea, I'd confiscate his passport. Newman had no business traveling to a communist country with a generation of leaders that have violated the rights of the people in such a horrendous way, especially considering what he did during the war.

I hope they release him, but he's now considered a prisoner of war. As crazy as they are, that does not bode well.

Dennis Rodman Diplomacy- Obama "Can't Do Sh*t" So He's Heading To N Korea To Free Kenneth Bae

Since former NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman thinks Barack Obama "can't do sh*t", he's heading back to visit North Korea's Pillsbury dough boy to try to secure the release of US citizen Kenneth Bae. Bae, who was born in South Korea, was just sentenced to 15 years hard labor in some DPRK prison camp for allegedly trying to overthrow the government as part of some nefarious Christian plot called Operation Jericho.  Bae runs a tour guide company and was caught with "propaganda materials" including the National Geographic documentary by Diego Bunuel "Don't Tell My Mother- That I'm In North Korea."

I'm not quite sure why Rodman is waiting 2 months to go, but he plans on flying to North Korea on August 1st to plead with his best buddy Kim Jong-un.  The would-be diplomat says:

"I'm gonna try and get the guy out." "It's gonna be difficult."

Rodman and King bonded when he tagged along with the Harlem Globetrotters for a basketball match in Pyongyang a few months ago.  Kim told Rodman that he wanted Obama to call him. He didn't. And now Rodman is pissed off that Obama didn't make the effort to call.

 "We got a black president [who] can't even go talk to [Jong-un] ... Obama can't do s**t, I don't know why he won't go talk to him."

 As for Obama:

"Obama? F**k him!"

Tell us how you really feel Dennis.

Will his efforts work?  Hard to say. As bizarre as they both are, it might.  Then again, Kim could be using Bae as a bargaining chip.

Stupid Communists In Chile and NYC Protest In Support Of North Korea

There are still some incredibly stupid people in this world who believe in Communism, in spite of the fact that the system doesn't work. They're usually fools who live in Democratic, Capitalist nations where they're free to do things they would probably be jailed or killed for in a Communist country. Like protesting.  The Chinese government doesn't take kindly to demonstrations, the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 is a testament to that.

These dolts can stand in front of a Whole Foods in New York City in support of the lunatic leadership of North Korea (DPRK), rallying against what they call the recent war threats against the DPRK, without any repercussions. And yes, they seem to think that it's the poor, pudgy man-child Kim Jong-un and his people who are being threatened. I guess they haven't bothered to watch the news coming out of that country. Thank God the NY Red Youth are only a rag tag few.



And then you have these idiots in Chile, protesting in front of the South Korean Embassy, calling the U.S. "Yankee, Fascist Imperialists." A few more than in NYC, but still not many.



First of all, no-one is interested in North Korea other than the fact that the Pillsbury Dough Boy has launched several missiles- unprovoked, is promising more, has his hands on some nuclear weapons, and is threatening the world with them.

As for Yankee imperialism, it was North Korea that invaded South Korea in 1950.  China invaded Tibet and Nepal. The former Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and in fact, how was the Soviet Union even created to begin with?

How these fools can support a regime that clearly has a few screws missing, has created a cult of personality in the Kim Jong family dynasty, has the fourth largest army in the world- some 1.2 million strong- has concentration labor camps where whole families are carted off to for life, where the people in the rural areas starve, and where people are executed for insignificant reasons. Take Chong, a worker at an armaments factory who, in 2010, was executed by firing squad for speaking on his cell phone with a friend who had defected to South Korea many years before. Chong made the mistake of telling his buddy what the current living conditions were like, at the time, including the cost of rice. For that he was executed. He also happened to be using an "illegal" Chinese cellphone, and cellphone usage in North Korea, for obvious reasons, is very restricted.

If all these pro-North Koreans are so enamored of the DPRK, I would invite them to move there. Let's see how long they'd last.
