Kim Jong il dead (ish)

[seventh bullet]

I remember him mainly posting about maoism tbh and his last few posts don't seem controversial. I mean obviously a long time ago but I only just noticed

Because I am here, and still have a nerdy, non-kitsch interest in some of the most awful societies ever erected in the name of socialism.

Seems pretty young to be having heart operations if true. Than again he does't present as the picture of health but still...

Chernenko?

I don't know exactly, the central figure looks like he's being transported to the starship Enterprise. It's from the 1960s by an unknown artist according to the exhibition it was from, so before his brief stint.

Apparently, Khrushchev leading the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party (October 1961).

Thank you.

''I told you I was Kim Jong ILL''

Best headline ever.

Is there a designated successor that the people would joyfully and freely elect?

 

[Pickman's model]

Kim the first was always reckoned
Vile, but viler Kim the second
And what mortal ever heard
Any good of Kim the third?
When from earth the fourth descended
God be praised the Kims were ended

I saw him the other day in a quaver, he lives!

You don't need elections in a socialist utopia.

 

[Sasaferrato]

What an arsehole.

 

[Orang Utan]

What an arsehole.

Why? It’s funny.
Or do you mean the dictator?

Speculation he's been lining up his sister, as she's stood in for him here and there. Limit of my non-knowledge.

What an arsehole.

Who is and why?

I won't cry any tears for Kim Jong Un if the fucker dies.

North Korea human rights abuses resemble those of the Nazis, says UN inquiry

Inquiry chairman Michael Kirby writes to Kim Jong-un warning he could face trial at The Hague for crimes against humanity

www.theguardian.com

A 400-page United Nation Commission of Inquiry report released in 2014 declared the "gravity, scale and nature of these violations reveal a state that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world." North Korea declared the U.N. report a "fabrication."

Here are the crimes the U.N. commission claimed it found:

• Extermination
• Murder
• Enslavement
• Torture
• Imprisonment
• Rape
• Forced abortions
• Other sexual violence
• Persecution on political, religious, racial and gender grounds
• The "forcible transfer of populations"
• The "enforced disappearance of persons and the inhuman act of knowingly causing prolonged starvation"

Moreover, the report placed responsibility for the existence of those alleged abuses squarely with the state.

Here are North Korea's alleged human rights abuses

As President Trump meets with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, human rights advocates hope he will urge more than just denuclearization

Was that the brother who sadly fell ill and died at Bangkok Airport?

 

[SpookyFrank]

What an arsehole.

You know it's a pisstake of those defending the murderous buffoon Johnson during his illness right?

 

[petee]

Was that the brother who sadly fell ill and died at Bangkok Airport?

it's the uncle-by-marriage (so his wife's uncle; i wonder how she felt about that) who suddenly fell out of favor and was killed.

Sadly so.

Was this fake nooz or what? I suppose he could do an Ariel Sharon.

 

[killer b]

It was a single-source rumour that half the world's media fleshed out with some further speculation, desperate for an easy story that can be written from home without any need to ring round sources.
