*MORE RUMOURS*: North Korean media hasn't broadcast any propaganda about Kim Jong Un for four days, and previously unknown Senior Colonel Pak Deok Maeng has taken over the KCTV building. There were supposed to be big celebrations on February 16, Kim Jong Il's birthday, but no news has been made about that. Rumour has it that the top Party leadership have scattered in panic.
There are more rumours that Pak has announced/will announce free elections within two years and reunification, and that the Kims have fled to Venezuela.
Very bizarre, and the longer it takes for China and North Korean to deny them, the more credible they seem.
Wow. Where are you getting this?
Believe me, nothing beats the Chinese rumour mill.
In all seriousness, it's telling that the Chinese censors haven't moved swiftly to shut down these discussions, which they're usually eager to do. We'll see if, and how, an official denial is made. Most probably the denial will come when a new photo of Kim Jong Un looking at something is released.
