Daily Mail: "Kim Jong Un's uncle executed as a 'traitor'"

"The uncle of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has been dragged from a military court and executed for being a 'traitor'."
Jang Song Thaek, 67, who had been considered the second most powerful official in the country and a mentor to his nephew, was killed immediately after a trial.

It is believed he was executed in the customary North Korean way by firing squad.

In a statement Pyongyang called him a 'traitor to the nation for all ages,' 'worse than a dog' and 'despicable human scum' who planned a military coup.

MSNBC thinks that is so awesome. If only the democrats in America had that kind of power.

Does Hell need a new announcer fluent in Korean?

Well, you used to see this stuff in the Ottoman royalty, so it looks like the Norks are taking another bold step backward.

I'm sure the Chinese are rolling their eyes at this one, saying, "Man, we thought backing Albania was bad, but backing these clowns in NK? Just how much more embarrassing can they get? Now they're summarily executing family!"

A moral dilemma:

Nuke Pyongyang just because.
or
don't.

I'm torn.

The only thing that separates us from the North Koreans is the Constitution. And the only reason we have that Constitution is because our Founders were deeply deeply distrustful of their own nature and did everything in their power to insure against the acquisition of the kind of power that makes it possible to order the death of an "enemy," that dirty dog. Make no mistake, endgame for the Constitution shredders is exactly the North Korean scenario.

Most Constitution shredders are too stupid to see an end-game. They're in it for short-term gain and could not care less about the ultimate, cumulative result of their shredding. It's death by a thousand cuts brought to you by the self-entitled, over-credentialed, would-be elites.

KCNA castigated Jang for "unwillingly standing up from his seat and half-heartedly clapping" when Kim received an important title.

That'll do it every time.

That ocean is being renamed the Chinese Sea.

Something the North Koreans can teach our elites is simply that once you reach elite status you are a target of your own kind. If you know too many secrets, you will be dealt with.

Bang bang he shot me down ...

This happens when a dictator gets to appoint the judges.

And all the traitorous uncle said was "Dude, about your haircut...seriously, man..."

Aridog said...

Actually, it was the uncle who enabled Kim's quick rise and power consolidation. It is the same old story..."I brung you in & I can take you out" ... er, no, you can't, not any more. Ha Ha Hee Hee Ho Ho.
