A Chinese social networking site has ignited rumors that North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un was assassinated today in Bejing. According to website Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, Jong-Un was assassinated on Friday afternoon at the North Korean embassy. Several Chinese bloggers reported that there was an unusually large number of cars outside of the embassy. Others reported that the assassins broke into Un’s room and shot him, but were then killed by his bodyguards.

There are also rumors that a coup is underway in North Korea. According to the Huffington Post, Chinese journalist Joe Xue theorized that the rumor may have been a set up to distract media from the investigation of well-known Chinese police officer Wang Lijun. Lijun is accused of initiating unauthorized contact with the U.S. embassy in Chengdu. Un was recently named successor to his father Kim Jong Il. Il, who had power in North Korea from 1994 until his death on Dec. 17, 2012.

So you're saying Kim Jong Il faked his death and then assasinated his son dressed as a ninja? Yeah, that sounds like one of his plots. Its the only way to stage a brutal coup when you are already the Dear Leader.

As I see it, the real power in nK has this kid out in front as a figurehead they can manipulate all they want while they provide for their own agenda. Why in the world would they want to get rid of him?? I doubt if he can go to the bathroom without his "handlers" scheduling it for him. If there were any "removals" being contemplated, I'd look for them amongst the people surrounding him...sort of a post-Lenin.(Trotsky) or post-Stalin (Beria) scenario. I'd give it 6-12 months for the players to start arranging deals, then watch for sudden retirements for health reasons, people disappearing suddenly with no explanation, or a rise in the heart attack rate.

Sounds like they are reaching out. The news just reported that they have agreed to some of the nuke requirements from the US in return for some food.

Yep, about that time.

Step 1) make conciliatory gestures to get some aid

2) after most of the shipments arrive, some sabre rattling to increase the deliveries

3) heated rhetoric after they get called out for being assholes (gaining some additional last minute concessions). Maybe lob some missles across the Sea of Japan for good measure.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Been the standard act since the Soviets bailed. Thier only promising move has been their special economic zone project near the border, but even that's been used as a poker chip when they've gotten cranky.

Isn't there supposed to be a movie with Seth Rogan and James Franco where they try to assassinate Kim Jong-un?
