Died of "over work" they announce. So creepy to see a country like that in action where they actually that kind of propaganda and expect people to swallow it.

Isn't his son more bat shit crazy than he is though? With all the recent tensions between North and South I can see junior doing something really stupid to announce his arrival on the scene. Awesome.

Hey, at least they said he as dead. The Russians used to be a little slow with that. I figure Casto might be dead for a few months before the Cubans announce it.

Much like the Russians did with Lenin to create a cult of personality so Stalin could be inextricably linked to Lenin.

There are a couple of sons I've heard about. There was one that was considered a mini-me version, and was thought to be the heir, but he fell out of favor after getting caught trying to visit Disneyland Japan with a fake passport. The one they are mentioning now, Kim Jong Un, is nearly completely unknown. He wasn't acknowledged publicly until a couple of years ago when he was announced as a 4 star general.

Yes, clearly that's what happened.

. I'm more worried about what some 28 year old in charge of nuclear weapons might do to establish his credentials as leader; saber-rattling.

There's also the chance that the country moves forward toward sanity now with him out of the way.

So I wonder which secret service killed him. Or even which really OBVIOUS service.

Ugh. So was Hitler (yep...they are comparable since Ill starved millions of his own people). Some might say that makes him worse. I hope hell is real so he is burning in it.

ISiddiqui · 12-19-2011, 08:43 AM

Yes, Hitler was a human being as well, a creation of God who turned to evil acts. Still a human being.

And I don't believe in Hell, at least the traditional concept of it.

stevew · 12-19-2011, 08:46 AM

I sure hope Hennessey is able to recover from the loss of his business(600-750k per year estimated)

Yes he was.

But people like him make me want to believe in life-after-death, so he can answer for the atrocities he's committed.

I knew that would come up but when you are talking about a dictator that committed atrocities against his people, isn't it reasonable to mention another dictator that committed atrocities against his people? I guess I could go back and edit it with Stalin...

Very true. Was trying to think of his name and kept remembering the Khmer Rouge, the country and everything else but forgot the dictator's name.

It's an incredible thing to see how millions of people can be brainwashed over decades to create a god-like platform for their leader(s). I've read a lot of articles/books on North Korea. Those are legitimate tears being shed by those people. They're crushed by his death, even though we as outsiders know he was a schmuck to say the least.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 12-19-2011, 12:23 PM
