North Koreans Are Targeting And Damaging Kim Family Monuments

Express: North Korea CIVIL WAR: Kim scrambles to avoid uprising as family monuments targeted

NORTH Korea could be on the brink of civil war as furious locals target memorials and monuments glorifying the bloody Kim dynasty as anger grows over poor living standards.

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has ordered an increase in security at such sites as “hostile elements” within the hermit state deface the symbols.

Statues and murals depicting the three Kim leaders have been targeted by citizens furious at the imbalance in the country.

Kim has increased the number of monuments to his dynasty during his reign in an attempt to piggy-back on the popularity of previous leaders.

But with famine and starvation frequently sweeping the country, there is a growing anger at Kim and his one-party government.

WNU Editor: No other news site is carrying this story, but if true it is a harbinger of things to come. I know because I can relate to it. A few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall I saw a Karl Marx and Lenin poster vandalized just a block away from the Hermitage Museum in (at the time) Leningrad. It was the first time that I ever saw something like that in the Soviet Union .... and it was only a few weeks later that I began to notice even more vandalism of Communist posters as well as anti-Communist graffiti. And after that .... it just snowballed to Moscow and everywhere else in the Soviet Union. Is North Korea on the verge of such an event .... I do not know. But the people who live in North Korea must be beyond frustrated. They all know what life is like on the outside .... and I am sure they want it. That is why I say that it will only take one spark .... and after that nothing will be able to stop it.

I wonder if these are the acts of U.S. state department actors or North Korean citizens. Interesting to see if these acts resonate with the population and multiply or not. This pressure on North Korea reminds me of the pressure put on USSR during the 80’s. The military has had some setbacks/challenges recently. But then we were in a similar situation in the 80’s with the vietnam war.

I just hope they get a better life and soon. Anyone vandalising those monuments must have balls of steel,because it means the most gruesome torture for sure if you get caught.

Remember how Kim and the NORK's executed dissident Generals with massed antiaircraft cannon fire?

Funny, never happened.

Remember how Kim's Dad consumed 15,000 gallons of Hennesy And 1950 porn vids a year?

Except not. While the NORK's bought Hennesy, high end scotches, wines, they sold it on to Japan via the yakusa, just like they ripped and resold porn DVD's for profit.

Fiction always Trumps fact when it comes to the NORK's, like Albania during the Cold War, but it generates click bait.
