Wassup Kim Jong-IL

Speculation is beginning to mount that North Korea may be on the verge of imminent collapse. It appears that the "Dear Leader" hasn't been seen for quite some time and all of the pictures released recently appear to be more than two years old. Additionally, North Korea officials in foreign lands are selling assets for cash, prices are skyrocketing out of control with no direction from the central committees and escapes of North Korean citizens to China are at an all time high. Has Kim been replaced in a coup and the new leaders are trying to figure out how to announce the maneuver so the country doesn't collapse? Is Kim dead (speculation is rising that perhaps the Ryongchon explosion may have something to do with this as Kim's personal train was known to be in the area) from an assassination or just in hiding grasping at straws? February 16th is the "Dear Leader's" birthday, and you can bet that all eyes will be on North Korea that day to see if he pops up out of his holes. I know I'll be watching.

Check out this report from North Korea, it's quite interesting. [Page 1] [Page 2] [Page 3] [Page 4]
