An elite group of exiles from North Korea gathered in September in the Netherlands to discuss the state of the regime they used to serve. The conference included top diplomats, an ex-senior official of the Ministry of Security, and a high-ranking military officer, but the keynote address was given by Jang Jin-sung, formerly a key member of Kim Jong-il's propaganda machine. Included in Jang's speech was a surprising assertion: North Korea is in the midst of a civil war.

Quoted:
Junior fed one too many underlings to the dogs? View Quote I don't know if this rumor is true but I would not be surprised. Wacking his uncle and others like that probably was not a good idea. I believe he was in a weak position to begin with considering his age and other factors. It was only a matter of time before some of the elites moved on this increasingly weak and unstable dynasty. |

Just what the world needs. Instability or a true civil war in a nuclear armed country run by a mad man. |

I wonder what a "elite group of exiles from North Korea" would consist of.

Nothing. They make money by threatening to build a nuke if we don't pay them. I take that back. I think they sell weapons to the Arabs. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

They export quite a bit: drugs,counterfeit cash of remarkable quality,weapons,lots of products that end up getting labled as made in China. You've probably watched cartoons animated by Norks actually.
Nobody really knows WTF is happening. His aunt used to be exceptionally powerful,until her husband was executed and now nobody knows where she is; for one example. As for having a civil war and nobody knowing,the west didn't know how bad the Cultural Revolution in China was until so many bodies were being washed down rivers. So long as its factions of generals and party leadership killing each other and the bulk of the army waiting to see who the new boss is,it'd be impossible to know |

Wonderful , a civil war with loose nukes as the prize . . . . . unleash the stupidity.
What would ISIS pay for a few nukes . . . . they could scrounge a few hundred million from their booty-sack. And they might come in handy for Iran or Israel or .....us |

View Quote However remote, there is a possibility that key players have come together to overthrow Mr. Pillsbury and replace his rule with some sort of power-balancing government. It'll be interesting to see what happens, regardless. «tc2k11» |

I doubt the accuracy of this report. However, some day - someone is going to put a round behind that little runt's ear. |

I foresee a coupé in a few years.
Kim's rule is way too liquid still. Two years in and he's still shaking people around? Yeah no. Too many bodies. One of them is going to be his soon. |

To be honest I hope they nuke themselves, and I hope the video of the blast ends up on live leak. |

Anyone seen Dennis Rodman lately?
Wormed his way in and will soon be armed with shitty nukes. |

Article is 5 years old but still valid
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2009/09/office-39-200909# As pointed out they also farm out very cheap labor to far eastern Russia,essentially providing mining and wood cutting slaves for rent. They also rent their military. Assad is using Nork pilots and they've been used quite a bit in Africa ,from Mugabe using them for ethnic cleansing in the early 80s to Laurent Kabila trading uranium for troops in Congo. They supply the bulk portion of Asia's meth. Use is very high there,afterall how do you keep people working without sufficient food? http://articles.latimes.com/2014/jan/27/world/la-fg-north-korea-meth-20140127 |
