Report Says Kim Jong-un Has Executed 15 Senior Officials This Year

Since this is coming from the South Korean spy agency it is likely that they did receive some pretty good intelligence that this did happen:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the execution of 15 senior officials this year as punishment for challenging his authority, South Korea’s spy agency told a closed-door parliament meeting on Wednesday.

A vice minister for forestry was one of the officials executed for complaining about a state policy, a member of parliament’s intelligence committee, Shin Kyung-min, quoted an unnamed National Intelligence Service official as saying.

“Excuses or reasoning doesn’t work for Kim Jong Un, and his style of rule is to push through everything, and if there’s any objection, he takes that as a challenge to authority and comes back with execution as a showcase,” Shin said.

“In the four months this year, fifteen senior officials are said to have been executed,” Shin cited the intelligence official as saying, according to his office.  [Reuters]

This seems like an extreme method for eliminating government pension obligations. KJU should take a cue from the U.S. Congress and convert everyone to 401k plans.
