Is Kim-Jong ILL?
- With 0 comments
On Tuesday, North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-il, failed to attend a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of North Korea, according to reports.
His absence got the tongues of the world’s politicos wagging!
On Wednesday, a spy agency reported that the ‘Dear Leader’ suffered a stroke and was under the care of doctors.
He supposedly is walking and talking again.
North Korean officials have shot back and said Kim Jong-il is fine and that reports claiming otherwise are ‘worthless’ and part of a conspiracy plot.
A few days ago, a very interesting article appeared in the UK’s Times paper about the North Korean leader. One of the things it highlighted was Toshimitsu Shigemura’s claim (who’s a veteran Japanese expert on North Korea) that Kim had died from diabetes in 2003 and that his role had been played since by one of the doubles used to guard him against assassination.
How very soap opera!
We wonder if Kim will make an ‘appearance’ soon to show the world all is in order at the top of the North Korean leadership food chain.
