The Telegraph: Kim Jong-un 'erases his father and grandfather' from new mandatory national oath
Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, has introduced a new national oath playing down the achievements of his father and grandfather and instead praising his own ideology and leadership.
The oath, which must be recited by all citizens, was originally introduced in the 1970s, when Kim Il-sung, the founder of the nation and the grandfather of the present dictator, exercised control over the nation.
The oath was made up of 10 articles that extolled the wisdom and greatness of Mr Kim and, after his death in July 1994, his son, Kim Jong-il.
Declared by workers, students and members of the armed forces on national holidays and key anniversaries of the Workers’ Party, citizens have been required to swear to “arm themselves with the ideals” of the nation’s first two leaders, the Seoul-based DailyNK news site reported.

WNU Editor: I guess it is only a question of time before the two statues are removed (see picture on top). Or they put a third statue of Kim Jong-un (and of course it will be more bolder and bigger).

...and we remove Civil War statues and we downgrade those figures who supported the South

That's a huge step. No mention on cnn,of course. Midterms are coming so they need to focus on the immigration outrage acting, now that Russia collision is in shambles. A more despicable bunch I have yet to lay my eyes on. The disservice cnn does to the country is beyond measure. If u go to cnn you always see pro turkey and pro China stories. .makes you wonder who their masters are
Same happened to Stalin and Mao. When big changes were coming new God’s were found and old ones retired.
non
It is NOT a big story. This sort of erasure of history is well known procedure in dictatorial nations, but you dump on highly regarded sites because you simply do not like them and thus: where was Fox on this "big issue"?
Cnn highly regarded? Hahahahahaha stop it. ..you're really funny. .I like u
Trump should donate them a statue of Trump. A really big one.
I'd wager that China is encouraging Kim Jong-un to do this as well as to dial back the war threats he has been making in the past. Remember the TWO meetings between Kim Jong-un and the Chinese President? Probably includes a Chinese agreement to pay Kim Jong-un a huge amount annually into Kim's private Swiss bank account to encourage the cooperation - that's the sort of incentive that controls the corrupt rulers of this world.
I like this idea!!!!
Kim is playing a dangerous game. This will test just how firm a grip he has on power. Things can get out of hand in a hurry if he shows any weakness.
