He has also started to disappear from various pictures and such.

I've heard it was an especially public purge, given the North actually confirmed information on it. He was apparently cited as the second most powerful man in the country.

It makes sense that un would want to publicly display his power, while also trying to be more independant.

Here's an interesting article about North Korea.

Kims Mention Index? And Kim-Jong Un is still losing to his father and grandfather, even though they're dead and he's supreme leader. Oh, that's amazing.

That was interesting.

Kim's uncle has been executed. How cold-hearted can you get?

Basically, North Korea hasn't changed. :I

And China's main contact in their government too. I guess this pretty well confirms that Kim-Jong Un is a hardliner, not a moderate.

I've started to hear rumors that he was executed by being fed to a pack of starving dogs in front of a bunch of other high ranking party officials. Pillsbury Doughboy is doing a frighteningly good job at surpassing his father and grandfather, but with the internal instability and lack of respect for Kim the Even Younger might make these crackdowns have a very different effect than he intends.

It would be nice if somebody could hack into and steal all NK's records (I bet most of them are still paper, though). It'd make for...interesting reading. We'll find out in no more than a decade or two.

From the BBC News article, it gets even creepier- he wasn't just a rank-and-file top echelon Party cadre, he got the top military post when Lil' Kim came into power. Whatever power the generals have over Dear Leader, it certainly isn't enough to protect them.

(That being said, there's always the possibility this was in part the result of inter-general squabbling...)

Doubt it. The only person this clearly benefits is Stay Puft Marshmellow Man, as it eliminates the only person who could have plausibly enacted a coup on him. I'd watch my back if I were Biggie's siblings, except perhaps the one that got himself disgraced and put Goodyear Blimp first in line for the secession.
