BY KEVIN SAWYER – Kim Jong-un, the sociopathic gangster that rules North Korea, has forbidden the use of sarcasm throughout the country. The use of sarcasm or irony in everyday conversations by any North Korean, he said, will be seen as “hostile actions” and “will not be forgiven”.
It seems that the 32 year old is worried that his people are showing him the love be believes he deserves. This from a man who has built one of the world’s largest armies, has nuclear capabilities of possibly reaching California and, who quite recently, murdered several people he thought were plotting against them. He murdered them by firing squad and had they were shot with antiaircraft guns. Meanwhile, many North Koreans are eating dirt and tree bark to stay alive.
Any criticism of his regime will not be tolerated any longer even in casual or private conversations. Security details were sent around the country to inform certain elements, as well as the general populace, that they had best keep their comments to themselves or risk certain death. There have been, of late, certain rumblings within the country with regard to a possible armed rebellion and graffiti has been noticed in a few places which have directly mocked Kim.
Also, within the last few days, it has been reported that Kim has run a fifth test of a nuclear device as he intends to make his country a military and nuclear superpower. Many fear that he has his eyes set on South Korea as well as possibly Japan and the United States. Aside from the United States; Japan, South Korea and China expressed alarm at the test which set of a 5.3 magnitude quake. The United Nations has already banned North Korea from running such tests but, as usual, the UN has nothing to back up its directives with, and Kim seems hardly afraid of the UN.
