Young general has got what it takes
2010-11-24
The most interesting propaganda I've ever read....change a few names and places, and it could be an MSNBC (unintentional) squib about "The One"......!
The population of North Korea has been in a state of euphoria since the "young general" Kim Jong-eun was anointed as heir apparent to legendary peerless leader Kim Jong-il. His anointment guarantees a bright and rosy future for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

It means that Kim Jong-il - who the people have entrusted with their destiny - will see his most faithful lieutenant take charge. It also guarantees that the population will see an uninterrupted continuity of seasoned statesmen at the helm, as the country continues on its path towards enhanced national security and economic prosperity despite the adamantly hostile policy behavior of the US.

Kim Jong-eun was anointed as heir apparent to Kim Jong-il neither because he is the ruler's son nor because he bears a close resemblance to legendary founding father Kim Il-sung. The foremost reason is the unanimous agreement by people in all walks of life that Kim Jong-eun has what it takes to be a benevolent, virtuous leader in the same class as Kim Il-sung, with total revolutionary dedication to Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il, limitless love for the people and irresistible magnetic charm, charisma and personal appeal.

As was the case with Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, the young general shines with such virtue and magnetic appeal that he fascinates the elder, more experienced leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), as well as the Korean People's Army commanding generals, their rank-and-file members and the masses. He comes across as a leader who can achieve a spiritual and political connection between the leadership and the population and weave North Korean society into a close-knit, harmonious political family.

Secondly, the young general has proved in the eyes of the WPK and the military that he is decisive and ready to risk war at anytime with the US and Japan over the slightest infringement of the sovereignty and independence of North Korea.

In 2009, the young general ordered a prompt retaliatory nuclear assault on the mainland US and Japan should take place if they intercepted the second North Korean satellite launch vehicle.

Kim Jong-eun has authored papers on nuclear war strategy, missiles and long-range weapons for use in ground warfare and air-defense, winning the acclaim of military leaders.

No wonder, then, that the September 28 Party Conference of the WPK named him as the heir apparent to Kim Jong-il and as one of the two vice chairmen of the WPK military committee, headed by chairman Jong-il.

#4  Kim Myong Chol is author of a number of books and papers in Korean, Japanese and English on North Korea, including Kim Jong-il's Strategy for Reunification. He has a PhD from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's Academy of Social Sciences and is often called an "unofficial" spokesman of Kim Jong-il and North Korea.

If he's running his mouth, no way in hell he's "unofficial". Nice of Asia Times to print his bullshit.
