I'm sorry, terminally propagandized?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Yeah, I've accepted the truth of Juche Ideology now.

Or not, but a lot of the links ever posted in this thread were just agitprop to set up an invasion of NK, as evidenced by all the hysterical stories of people executed in fantastic ways who later showed up alive and well. It's a situation even worse than Iran or China in terms of one-sidedness in the media.

Juche fails the concept of reality being what remains when you stop believing in it, MSH.

[ChairmanPoo]

I dont know. Dont we all follow Juche, clapping like morons at 8PM?

[Reelya]

You know where they go to discuss Juche ideology? To the trendy Juche bars in downtown Pyongyang.

Now Kim Yo-jong  doesn't mind
If she doesn't make the scene.
She's got a daytime job, she's doing allright.

The Murdcoch Press engaging in agitprop, well I never... 

Sarcasm aside, my bets are on KJu having a contemporary virus - one that does not exist in Best Korea - and chances are that a full recovery will ensue.  (That's if the whole thing is not an entire beat up in the first place.)

Separately: in terms of succession, I'd be backing his sister as some kind of 'regency' for his son.  How long that particular arrangement might last is a good question though.

I agree with MSH on the military. They seem content enough with the state of affairs. This is admittedly because of a large amount of time and resources spent both appeasing the military and ruthlessly hunting down people in the military who are inclined to be opponents of the regime, but nonetheless.

As for the Press angle, it's hard to say. On one hand it's definitely being reported a lot more heavily in those types of media (particularly the Murdoch Press), but I have seen other outlets touch on it (although without saying "refugee crisis, military action to come", that's super provocatory holy shit) such as the NY Times report on Kim being missing. He missed a public event he had not throughout his whole reign missed, honoring his grandfather. South Korea has downplayed reports, but something is up.

As for the corona angle, it's possible.

For those interested in history try this from 5 1/2 years ago.  (Did he really die back then... too? /s  though it reminds one of PKD Now Wait for Last Year, iirc  )

Of course that proves nothing with regard to contemporary events but it makes for interesting re-reading in light of the spate current articles.    (And I'm sure you can find more sensationalised versions from back then if you want to look.)

What's the state of the full moon then and now? Is Kim secretly a were-wolf?

New moon right now.

Full moon was around the 4th

[scriver]

That's when he DISAPPEARED

[Kagus]

That's when he DISAPPEARED

Yeah, how come we've never seen Kim Jong-Un and the moon together in the same room? Seems pretty fishy to me.

[ChairmanPoo]

I'll just leave this here...

China has apparently sent a medical team to NK to help with Glorious Leader's perfect health. Nothing to see her, citizen.
