You probably heard that the un-Kim of the NORKs wacked his uncle ,Jang Song Thaek ,in his moves to consolidate power. You probably thought that he died from a typical firing squad type execution. You would be wrong . The un-Kim ,channeling his inner Ivan the Terribe was much more creative a brutal.

Jang was stripped naked and thrown into a cage, along with his five closest aides. Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called "quan jue", or execution by dogs.

The report said the entire process lasted for an hour, with Mr Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader in North Korea, supervising it along with 300 senior officials.

Jang's execution bodes ill for China

Ivan the Terrible had Prince Andrew Shuisky executed in a similar manner .Ivan was 13 years old at the time.

“He loves power. He loves control because others, you know, dad and stuff like that, but he’s just a great guy. He’s just a great guy.” -Dennis Rodman on his new best friend.

Advice to Dennis ...if he plans on coaching the NORK national team ,he'd better plan on winning .

Lets hope he gets a dose of his own medicine... soon.

is that Dennis or Kim? You know the old saying; Those who live by the sword... die by the sword

I don't think the world would be any worse for it if they both met their maker together like the bestest of buddies they think they are.

Ah, yes, the best solution

I liked the one the other day, when they used the anti aircraft guns to do the firing squad

paraclete · Jan 5, 2014, 04:42 AM

I must have missed that one, but the whole thing has the aura of grand opera

Rodman has picked a team of former NBA players to tour NK . Suggest he let the NORKS win .I'm sure there are many more starving dogs in the country .

goodwill is wasted on Kim, he doesn't understand the concept. Absolute power corrupts absolutely

Hello:

It looks like we got punked. I believed it too. I wonder why we all did.

Yeah, firing squad is a much more humane way to whack your uncle. Maybe Rodman is right about him after all, he's just a great guy.

tomder55 · Jan 6, 2014, 09:04 AM

if we were indeed punked then it worked because the report was credible . All you have to do is read some of the reports from the NORK concentration camps. The more interesting aspect of this is that the report originated from China.

paraclete · Jan 6, 2014, 05:51 PM

What a bunch of dunces we are to fall for an unconfirmed report. It is possible because we hold the worst possible view of the stalinist state so that we view all its actions as inhuman.

I for one am fed up with being manipulated by the media

smoothy · Jan 6, 2014, 07:58 PM

Having your uncle killed by a firing squad because you have issues of inadequacy or a small penis... is inhuman in itself

paraclete · Jan 6, 2014, 08:17 PM

We don't know the two are connected, I doubt we know anything about NK for sure. They could suddenly get the message and go the way of China. Remember East Germany it was a very bad implementation of a stalinist state, or they could dig in deeper. Right now they are like that proverbial bird.

Personally I don't see how anyone could doubt the brutality of the NORK regime, even Rodman came back and apologized for "certain situations" in NK. I read this today though, from an avowed liberal.

Once again, the worst persecutor of Christians is North Korea, where an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 followers of Jesus are suffering in prison camps for “crimes” such as owning a Bible, going to church, or sharing their faith. In November 2013, it was reported that 80 prisoners were publicly executed, many for possessing Bibles. Last year, North Korea sentenced an American missionary, Kenneth Bae to 15 years of hard labor in a prison camp. The U.S. State Department has lobbied unsuccessfully for his release.

Christians are obviously not the only North Koreans in prison camps. But former captives have reported that they often attract the worst treatment because the regime is particularly enraged by the worship of any other being than the Supreme Leader, who forces North Koreans to treat him as a deity.

It’s chilling to imagine worse treatment than what the average North Korean prisoner has reported, including a mother forced to drown her own baby in a bucket, and tales of subsisting on nothing more than rats and insects. According to first-hand accounts from former prisoners reported by Amnesty International, “every former inmate at one camp had witnessed a public execution, one child was held for eight months in a cube-like cell so small he couldn’t move his body and an estimated 40% of inmates die from malnutrition.”

The rest of the column is worth a read.

Speech, not sure what you mean by "read this today though, from an avowed liberal".

smoothy · Jan 14, 2014, 04:28 PM

Can we get to vote to let the North Koreans keep the whole lot of them?
