Generally when you get fired as a top NorK official, its either death by 20mm fire or a feeding to the dogs. But I don't think any more dogs are left on NorK.

No reason ever needs to be given under communism, even if you did manage hear about "it". In communism it is the top down accusation of "corruption" that ends a person who is no longer useful or becoming audacious, and in democracy it is the lizard peoples selective "sex scandal" or "wrong speak" reinforced by the useful idiots in the media and public figures. Sounds like the democrats Utopia in either event and we are will on our way. The glowing box knows all, and approved facts are the only ones worth any consideration. But in the meantime "systemic raysisims", "Pedophilia is a sexual orientation", "Trump orange man bad said mean tweets", "ReeEEeeEee!! REEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!", "Jan6thism", "RECITE THE CORRECT THINK!", "female penis", "Bigot!", and of course "Chickens roost at home in march" or some such hahahahahahaha. Go dig up your wife Fred and stop using child porn to get attention for your failed side projects. I am surprised I got here before you did, as much as you hate the editor and the blog and cant shut up about it. Come at me, bro.

I noticed that Pak's replacement Ri Jong Gil was previously said by North Korean officials to have been executed for corruption. Guess he is back in the Dear Leader's good graces.

Imagine believing the CIA stories about family members and generals being literally fired out of cannons, only to have them quietly appear in photographs 2 weeks after the claims are reported widely in the west. Probably believe Putin has every disease known to man as well?

started the theater all created by financiers, an isolated country that could have already been attacked, but let's pretend it's a world threat under the protection of mother China

Naw, just garbling these facts. Mea culpa--but perhaps an interesting tit-bit.
