North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Whereabouts Are Still Unknown As Speculation On His Health Grows





Reuters: North Korea media silent on Kim's whereabouts as speculation on health rages

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean state media on Wednesday made no mention of leader Kim Jong Un’s health or whereabouts, a day after intense international speculation over his health was sparked by media reports he was gravely ill after a cardiovascular procedure.

North Korean media presented a business as usual image, carrying routine reporting of Kim’s achievements and publishing some of his older, or undated, comments on issues like the economy.

South Korean and Chinese officials and sources familiar with U.S. intelligence have cast doubt on South Korean and U.S. media reports that he was seriously sick, while the White House said it was closely monitoring the matter.

WNU Editor: If the US President does not know, that tells me that with the exception of Kim Jong Un's inner circle, no one really knows what Kim Jong Un's status is .... “We don’t know” if Kim Jong Un health rumors are true, Trump says (NK News).

Update: Some are saying that the media made a mistake on this story .... What the Hell Happened? So, We're Just Going to Ignore Why the Media Got Their Kim Jong-un Story Wrong? (Town Hall). I am not sure if this criticism is justified. There is something wrong with Kim Jong Un. It may not due to a heart condition or complications from surgery. But something is not right.

Update #2: I agree with this report that the South Korean government is plugged into what is happening in North Korea .... Conflicting reports on Kim’s health reveal intelligence access to NK (Korea Herald). But aside from telling the world that Kim Jong Un is OK, the South Korean government has said nothing on why Kim Jong Un has disappeared since last week.

The Tubster is in a tight quarantine to protect himself from the Corona Virus raging through NK. It is what you would expect from such a great leader.
