North Korea leader Kim Jong-un had surgery, says South Korea

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has had surgery to remove a cyst from his ankle, according to South Korean intelligence.

A spy agency briefing to lawmakers on Tuesday said that a foreign doctor operated on Mr Kim in September or October.

Mr Kim recently dropped out of public view for nearly six weeks leading to speculation that he was seriously ill.

Yes, a lobotomy might do DPRK some good. Then to encourage healing daily ECT treatments for a year.

Why Is North Korea Freaked Out About The Threat Of Ebola?

North Korea has a number of serious public health woes: malnutrition, tuberculosis and cardiovascular disease, just to name a few. Ebola isn't one of them. The disease hasn't hit anywhere in Asia, much less this isolated and rarely visited Northeast Asian nation.

Russia Today has now anyway almost stopped the extrem russian propaganda used by other russian media. Lifenews and etc.

Sony Hack
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Armistice_Agreement wrote:

In March 2013, North Korea announced that it was scrapping all non-aggression pacts with South Korea, along with other escalations such as closing the border and closing the direct phone line between the two Koreas. North Korea stated that it had the right to make a preemptive nuclear attack. A United Nations spokesman stated that the armistice agreement had been adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, and could not be unilaterally dissolved by either North Korea or South Korea.

I guess someone has to say the obvious. North Korea is no longer fighting a war of words.

The news here this morning on the Sony affair.

The Interview film premiere cancelled as Sony’s hacker vow a 9/11 style attack.

Cheers.

Just a question, after thinking about this:
What idiot's, at Sony, decided a film about the Assassination of a Murdering Dictator, should be a COMEDY?
Sony has more problems than North Korean Hacks.

I agree. But on the other hand it's been done before.
