Prominent North Korean defector Thae Yong-ho who is also a candidate for the most hated person by South Korean leftists who they haven’t put in jail yet, has started his own English language blog. In his recent posting he discusses how Kim Jong-un has no intention to denuclearize and is strengthening the Anti-Imperialist Education within North Korea against South Korea:

The reality is that when North Korea’s Kim Jong-un came out to the inter-Korean Summit and US-North Korean Summit, he had no intention of giving up his nuclear weapons. It was simply a way to earn time to hold onto his survival by putting on a ‘show’ of pretending to be interested in denuclearization.
While Kim Jong-un thinks that as long as he is in possession of nuclear weapons he will be able to continue the hereditary rule of the Kim family, in actuality, as long as North Korea has nuclear weapons it will not be treated as a ‘normal state.’ In fact the nuclear weapons will be the malignant tumour that leads to the collapse of the North Korean system.
At this moment in time, South Korean citizens are delighted at the start to an era of forgiveness and cooperation between the two Koreas and think that through these inter-Korean exchanges, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un will change.
However, while Kim Jong-un is pretending to be interested in inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation on the outside; internally, he is intensifying the ‘Anti-Imperialist Education’ and warning his people about getting swept away with the exchange and cooperations with South Korea. [Thae Yong-ho]
DUH, do ya think. KJU will mask all he can. Emphasize the insignificant. MJI will facilitate. President Trump remains clueless and and clearly not a learning organism if agrees to another meeting with KJU.

We don’t need Thae Yong Ho telling us something that we already know (well.. those who are not naive South Koreans).
Thae may not be in jail yet.. but he’s been put under watch by the Moon administration, and was told to curtail his speeches and appearances on TV. He no longer appears on South Korean TV as he used to before Moon came to power. He’s been blackballed in the media. And if he continues to defy the South Korean government, he will soon see his whereabouts being leaked to the North Koreans and he may even find himself under house arrest soon (just like another high level North Korean defector 20 years ago, the late Hwang Jang Yeop who was put under house arrest by another leftist president, Roh Moo Hyun government 15 years ago).

I’m surprised he’s still around and kicking. Thought Commie Moon would have sent him back by now.

Thae Yong-ho in an interview with NHK, characterized the first U.S. N.Korea summit agreement as having 3 steps. The first was confidence building. The third was denuclearize. When Pompeo met and demanded N. Korea denuclearize, Kim called him a gangster. I can’t find a text version of this interview. I think it explains the progression of the summits.

Rascal, you have never had to build a paper trail to fire a tenured or Civil Service employee, have you? 😛
I thought this was about a “Young Ho”. I am immensely disappointed.
