From the and “here all along it was supposed to be CO2, but instead its imperious leader Kim Jong Un” department comes this hilarious news story. According to North Korea’s state run media, Kim Jong Un controlled the weather when he scaled a sacred mountain known as Mount Paektu. I suppose we’ll have to swap out the carbon dioxide control knob that climate scientists, Al Gore and Jerry Brown are claiming controls the weather (most recently wildfires in SoCal according to Brown) and replace it with another (equal, but more emotive) control knob: Kim Jong Un. It used to be “CO2 is there anything it can’t do?”. Now we’ll have to revise that to say “Kim Jong Un, is there anything he can’t do?”.
PYONGYANG, North Korea – Making a bizarre claim, the North Korean media claimed that the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un can control the weather.
According to North Korea’s state media, Kim Jong Un controlled the weather when he scaled a sacred mountain. The dictator is said to have dressed in smart leather shoes and climbed the 2,744m high Mount Paektu.
Pyongyang media stated that the mountain has a special place in Korean folklore and has been used by the Kim family for generations in propaganda. The state media claimed that it was snowing because the mountain wanted to give a “warm welcome” to Kim Jong Un.
According to the report, Mount Paektu wanted to “show joy at the appearance of the peerlessly illustrious commander who controls the nature.”

1)Seems to me a pretty standard thinking: when you are a very good person, the sky acknowledge by sending you appropriate weather, and, the other way round, when you are bad leader you have bad weather (and your people have, too: that’s your fault). So a properly managed propaganda will boast of the good weather. Or it would just as well praise the Leader for vanquishing the bad weather, if it happened
2) unless the man is a fool, he would consult weathermen on the best time to do the trip, so, in a way, he indeed control weather, the same way the king of “the little prince” can order a sunrise …only at the proper hour!
The Dumpling has about six months left. Once RoK schools let out for the summer vacation, so that northern Seoul metro area can be evacuated, the fat phouque is toast. Or ionized atoms.

Putin: North Koreans Would Rather Eat Grass Than Give Up Nukes, If They Don’t Feel Safe
Why is that ?
Newsweek
In a 1984 interview, Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, claimed U.S. bombs “killed off 20 percent of the population” and “targeted everything that moved in North Korea.” These acts, largely ignored by the U.S.’ collective memory, have deeply contributed to Pyongyang’s contempt for the U.S. and especially its ongoing military presence on the Korean Peninsula.
GEN LeMay was wrong. Total military and civilian Korean deaths in the Korean War, started by the North, were around 2.2 million out of over 30 million in 1950.
The Kim crime family killed about 15% of its subject enslaved population in the famine of the 1990s alone. Add to that those publicly executed for listening to RoK soap operas and similar crimes, those worked to death in forced labor camps and killed or died trying to escape, and you’ll see who the real war criminals are in this picture.
He started the nuke programme b/c American genocidal savages destroyed his country in the 1950s !!
I am going to believe the Russian/North Korean version of events over fake news American media every single time. Americans should watch Putin. He makes Obama look like a simpering twit. I don’t support him. He’s done very bad things (Chechnya) but he’s preferable to any American politician.
“Putin Tells It Like It Is: US Presidents Are Puppets, ‘Men in Dark Suits’ Rule Washington”
Putin’s attributing the Nork nuke program to the US liberation of Iraq is idiotic. Kim Il Sung began the program in the ’60s. Kim Jung Il just continued it in the 1990s, as now has his fat spawn, parasitic on Korea and the world.

Putin is a mass murdering thief who has invaded other countries besides his oppression of Chechnya, before making peace with the Islamist regime there. He has supported fellow mass murderers in Georgia, Ukraine, Crimea and Syria. He and Assad bolstered ISIS in order to weaken resistance to the genocidal Alawite regime in Syria, to include allowing thousands of Chechen jihadis to travel to Syria.
America, OTOH, has liberated countries from genocidal maniacs like Saddam.
If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

In the 1980s Americans were universally regarded as the dumbest, most gullible people on earth because no one told them anything. For example, they thought Jimmy Carter was a cuddly little peanut farmer.
This is a VERY long list of unspeakable horror.

Noam Chomsky?!
YHGTBSM!
You have truly drunk the Koolaid. The places you mention were instances of Soviet and surrogate (eg Cuba) aggression.
Please go back to school and learn some actual history.
The slave state of North Korea exists today only because of the despotic, mass murdering dictators Stalin and Mao. The Kim dynasty has horribly continued their tyrannical traditions. Its days are numbered. Soon the North will be free, peaceful and prosperous, like the South, thanks to America and free enterprise.
Eric,
The surest and quickest cure for your delusions would be to go and live in the Kims’ hell on earth for a year. Or exist, if you could.
I’m sure that it would take less time than that. Then compare and contrast with the RoK, protected and promoted by America.
If US and UN wouldn’t have intervened in Korea, democratic and prosperous South Korea would never have existed, and Communists, who have done nothing but enslaved, murdered, and starved millions of its own people, would rule the whole country now, and be even more powerful and dangerous than currently. North Koreans should blame their own leaders, not US.
Fredar,
Correct of course. Doubt that Coo-Coo was alive in 1950 or has ever studied the history of the Korean War and subsequent RoK economic miracle.
Coo,
To help you know the true nature of the regime which you support over the US:

I hear the Jong family are also expert golfers. Kim’s father (Kim Jong-il) was reportedly able to hit 18 Hole In One’s all in his very first golf game. I am in such awe of this Marxist/Fascist leader. His country is so advanced and prosperous, and technologically superior with nuclear power. I think some of our western leaders are trying so hard to emulate him, in the way he governs so wisely.
Ah communism, the only thing it is good for is dealing with obesity in the population, not in the leadership though.
If the US and EU had communism month twice a year obesity would be a thing of the past before long 😀 Mind you the EU is not far short of communism month 😉 Anyone ever read the UN manifesto too? Dripping red 😀
The Kim regime helps combat weight gain with the help of giant internal parasites. Which is a sad irony, since the Kim crime family are themselves giant, often lethal parasites.
Snow is a “warm welcome”?
Maybe he is a “Climate Scientist”!
I will take your weapons grade and swap you for whatever this guy is on , looks like no need for you Americans to put up windmills us Aussies are going to power the country with them and all thanks to climate change and a warming Arctic .

See? This is clearly a proof that communism is the solution to climate change. Just ask this guy to teach his secrets to everyone!
Kim Jong Un has nothing to do with communism. As much as I view communism as a non-human ideology, Kim-Jong-Un and his ancestors have nothing to do with communism. This family dynasty is the continuation of millennia-old Korean tyrants. One less, the other more, but all by force. Also, democracy in South Korea is only thin whitewash, which still needs a lot of time to really usher in a new era. It’s not so easy to end cultures and mentalities with a stroke of the pen.
I wonder if you’ve ever actually been to Korea.
Without communist dictators Mao and Stalin, there would be no North Korea.
South Korea is as democratic now as any country on the planet. Its past regimes have been no more absolutist than those of Europe.
Kim Jong Un’s regime is perfect communism. Previous tyrants were unable to have a completely totalitarian regime, which is essentially what communism strives for.
They are careful in not showing the front of their “high tech” computer. Guess they don’t want us stealing their technology!
