Japanese Expert: North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il Died in 2003

Quote
Is Kim Jong Il for real? The question has baffled foreign intelligence agencies for years, but a veteran Japanese expert on North Korea says the dear leader is actually dead  and his role is played by a double.

The expert says Kim died of diabetes in 2003 and world leaders, including Vladimir Putin of Russia and Hu Jintao of China, have been negotiating with an imposter.

He believes that Kim, fearing assassination, had groomed up to four look-alikes to act as substitutes at public events. One underwent plastic surgery to make his appearance more convincing. Now, the expert claims, the actors are brought on stage whenever required to persuade the masses that Kim is alive.

With all the doubles that he had it took DNA to prove we had captured the right person.

The "experts" might say that it was diabetes that killed Kim, but I think we all know that the great leader really died of
... a broken heart.

He never brought you an unbalanced budget, which is a perennial joke. He never voted himself a wage increase and, to this day, gives back part of his salary every year. He has always voted to preserve the Constitution, cut government spending, lower healthcare costs, end the war on drugs, secure our borders with immigration reform and protect our civil liberties.

He didn't need to be replaced.  The alcohol did such a good job at preserving him that he could carry on with his routine.   grin

It's now being reported that kji is a no-show at a parade celebrating the nation's 60th anniversary.  Which doesn't do much for the doppelganger theory. 

Or maybe they've just run out of them.

Yeppers, saw that on Fox News this morning.  KJI did not groom a successor like his father did. 

Nature abhors a vacuum and it appears that there's a big one in NK.  This is gonna get REAL interesting.

I just saw that on the news. Among the usual communist posturing, parading, and lying were female NK soldiers goose-stepping in skirts with AK's slung over their chests! I also noticed at least one woman in camo standing on a truck. They even had roller skaters later on.

I wonder, how many women are in their military and what are their jobs? I didn't get a good look at any of them, but I bet they're not as hot as IDF chicks.

Yep, IIRC for failing to notice that His Evilness the Irwinator, had closed the thread.

And the picture is gone......
