North Koreans Asked to Change Their Names
For people in North Korea that were unlucky enough to be named “Jong-un” when they were born, they now have to change their name:
North Korea has ordered its people not to use the name “Kim Jong-un” in a bid to protect the supreme authority of the current leader, according to Pyongyang’s official document confirmed Wednesday.
In January 2011, then leader Kim Jong-il issued a decree urging people with the same name to change it “voluntarily.” As North Korea is regarded as a totalitarian state, it is unclear whether the decree was actually voluntary.
The North has also prohibited parents from registering their newborn babies with the current leader’s name, according to the document titled “a task to achieve.” The use of the given name “Jong-un” is also banned.
While unthinkable in most other countries, the rules are not new in the state long ruled by the Kim family. [Yonhap]
A coincidence? I think not. We need to focus on tyranny at home!
Alex Jones says this is a false flag with Sandy Hook crisis actors.
Why doesn’t he rename himself “Bob”? He could then ensure the quality of slack in Asia.
