Kim Jong Nam Criticizes Kim Jong Un Again

[xomputer]

Kim Jong Nam's denunciation towards his half-brother, Kim Jong Un was made public through the media.

The eldest son quoted, "In that young man's expression I can see neither the mission nor the prudence of a man who has become the successor to a troubled country like North Korea, nor the expression of a man worrying about a future vision for the state." He also added, "In North Korea, the amount people who are earning money have to pay in bribes to high ranking officials in order to survive is rising. A corrupt system like this absolutely will collapse. It reminds me of the Soviet Union right before it collapsed."

Kim also offered a withering critique that the people's trust in the North Korean leadership collapsed due to the failed currency redenomination. And further criticized the North Korean leaders, and Kim, Jong Il that the shelling of Yeonpyeong island was Kim Jong Un's act to justify the possession of nuclear weapons, and to emphasize his existence within the North Korean regime.

From school dunce to North Korea's leader...

N.Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un fared poorly in Swiss school: report
April 02, 2012 - Kim Jong-Un failed natural sciences and was absent * He barely passed mathematics; But he performed well in music and technical studies

NORTH Korea's young leader Kim Jong-Un, who was schooled in Switzerland, obtained poor grades in school and was often absent, according to a Swiss newspaper report. Kim, who is 29, was absent for 75 days in his first year at the International School of Bern, according to Le Matin Dimanche, while in his second year, he missed 105 days of classes.

The boy, who was registered under the pseudonym Un Pak, was sometimes in school only in the afternoons, said the newspaper, quoting an unnamed former classmate. Not surprisingly then that Kim failed natural sciences with 3.5 out of 6, and obtained a just minimum passing score of four for mathematics, culture and society and German.

Even in English, where he was placed in an advanced class before being downgraded to an average one, he obtained the minimum pass grade. Only in music and technical studies did he obtain 5.

This was despite the fact that Kim, who was born January 8, 1983, was in a class of children mostly born in 1985 due to his poor level of German -- the main language used in the Swiss capital Bern. Kim took over the reins of the hermetic country after his father Kim Jong-Il's death on December 17, 2011.

Fatboy Kim firmly ensconced in power...

Kim Jong Un has purged, executed more than 300 people, spy agency says
Dec. 28, 2016 -- Kim Jong Un could be responsible for a record number of purges and executions since fully assuming power, while spending a massive fortune on nuclear weapons development, according to Seoul's spy agency.

The North Korean leader may have dismissed or killed 340 North Koreans, many of them government officials, while pouring money into weapons of mass destruction, Yonhap reported Thursday, local time. Those are the findings of the national intelligence service, according to the agency's white paper covering Kim's first five years of rule.

The report states Kim fully assumed power on Dec. 30, 2011, about two weeks after his father was pronounced dead on state television. The mass executions of hundreds of high-ranking officials, including the public sentencing of Kim's uncle-in-law Jang Song Thaek, is part of Kim's plan to firmly consolidate his inherited power as the third-generation ruler of North Korea, according to the white paper. A few months after mourning the death of his father Kim Jong Il, the younger Kim tried to gain momentum during the fifth session of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly in April 2012, where he was elected supreme leader of the country.

The highly public sentencing of Kim Jong Un’s uncle-in-law Jang Song Thaek in 2013 is one of many purges and executions that have taken place since the North Korean leader assumed power.​

The title conferred Kim with all power over the Korean Workers' Party and other political bodies and effectively concluded the power succession, according to Seoul's intelligence report. The number of purges and executions has also skyrocketed as Kim increased his authoritative grip on the country, the paper states. "There were 3 [purged or executed] in 2012, more than 30 in 2013, greater than 40 in 2014, and more than 60 in 2015," the report says. "The numbers show a rapid increase."

The spy agency paper also noted North Korea "temporarily refrained" from mass purges after the sudden execution of Defense Minister Hyon Yong Chol in 2015, but resumed killing senior officials in 2016. The report added the Kim regime has "ravaged" the national treasury by spending exorbitant sums of money on nuclear and missile development, as well as on the idolization of the ruler. Seoul estimates about $300 million has been allocated to weapons development and $180 million has gone toward the production of 460 statues or monuments glorifying the Kims.

Report: North Korea retains missile base in mountainous region
Dec. 29, 2016 - The base includes a silo identical to an Iranian facility, according to U.S. analysts.

Satellite images of North Korea indicate Pyongyang retains a missile base near Kumchang-ri, in a mountainous region of the country's northwest. According to Strategic Sentinel, a U.S. provider of geospatial intelligence, aerial photographs of North Korea taken between 2010 and 2014 indicate the regime maintains an underground missile hangar called a silo, Voice of America reported Thursday. The base in North Pyongan Province is similar to a facility in Iran and is located close to a wide road and buildings that appear to be centers of missile assembly, according to the report.

U.S. analysts said this week North Korea has built a missile base near Panghyon Airport, a location where the regime may have tested the intermediate-range Musudan missile in October. File Photo by KCNA​

The missile base is a new discovery and is located about 13 miles from Panghyon Airport, which South Korea's military has said may have been the test site of an intermediate-range Musudan missile in October. Analysts at Strategic Sentinel told VOA Tuesday the base has been kept confidential and includes facilities that could store missiles. The most significant feature of the base is the silo, a subterranean missile launch containment facility. A 7.4-meter wide sliding cover shields the hangar, and the facility is identical to the Iranian missile base in Tabriz, according to the Strategic Sentinel analysts Ryan Barenklau and Nathan Hunt.

Barenklau said the Iran silo design was provided to North Korea, as Tehran's silos were built between 2000-03, well before Pyongyang embarked on its path to be recognized as a nuclear weapons state. Barenklau said the facility provides strong and concrete proof Iran and North Korea worked together on a missile program, according to VOA. In 2012, South Korea and Japan media reported Iranian missile experts took part in the test launch of North Korea's long-range rocket Unha-3.

He better be careful or he's going to get himself killed.
