Back in September, I reported that the Norks had succeeded in an underground nuke test that yielded 20 to 30 kilotons, which is up to three times the explosive impact of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.\u00a0 The detonation generated a 5.3 seismic reading, per the USGS, and yes, a quake near Punggye-ri, the underground test site.<\/p>\n

Subsequent to that, a high-profile North Korean official Thae Yong Ho defected to the South in London and has been supporting information filtering out of that not-so-secret gulag on the other side of the DMZ.<\/p>\n

More disturbing news is coming out of North Korea now that the head of Norkiland\u2019s secret police, Kim Won Hong, has been dismissed by Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird, a\/k\/a ND:tBF. This was confirmed by South Korea\u2019s Unification Ministry. \u00a0‘Dismissed’ is a polite word for prison candidate.<\/p>\n

Well, Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird does like to have people executed for not standing up straight at parades, so this is not really a surprise.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we need to view Norkiland with a less jaundiced eye and instead, keep a weather eye on that hidebound bunch. The South may laugh at them but they haven\u2019t asked us to leave yet, have they? No, they haven\u2019t. In fact, they seemed to be happy to have SecDEF Mad Dog there for a visit a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

And we must not forget or sneer at their experiments with nuclear weapons, and the fact that they are seriously working to produce and launch missiles with nuclear warheads attached.<\/p>\n

However, in the Norks\u2019 one-sided race to get ICBM nukes on the launch pad, which requires enormous incentive to achieve, you have to start wondering what Kim Won Hong\u2019s offenses actually were, and whether or not these purges and executions are doing less to scare people than they do to piss them off.<\/p>\n
