“They are all bastards, and Kim Jong-Il should die soon.”

Via Open News, we learn that mandatory adulation on Kim Jong Il’s birthday isn’t quite unanimous:

Based on the interviews from four regions of North Korea- North Hamkyung Province, Yanggang Province, South PyongAn Province, and Nampo city- between February 2 and 4, North Koreans are expressing their discontentment about Kim Jong-Il and his son Kim Jong-Eun.

The expression of discontentment differs from region to region, however. Citizens near the border do not hesitate to express their discontentment, while citizens in the interior are not so open about their feelings. Forms of discipline vary from region to region. In the border region, the agents only give warning, while in the interior, the agents are more prone to punish them.

One of the frequent complaints voiced by one citizen: “The government officials are trying to take away money from the citizens because they did not have enough for themselves. They were saying that the value of money will increase and the price will decrease. They also said the salary will be the same, and more things to make the reform sound good. Right now, as of early February, they also said the markets would be recovered as before. They did not give out food rations, and we are like beggars. Through all this, the government probably obtained a lot of foreign currency from the citizens, and none from the government officials. They are all bastards, and Kim Jong-Il should die soon.

Open News is also reporting a continuation of a rash of suicides due to The Great Confiscation.

According to the source, the will said “Kim Jong-Il turned my 100,000 Won into 1,000 Won and the rest became trash. I burned all the bills with his face on them (old bills). The new 1,000 Won bill is useless because the price of rice rose. Kim Jong-Il took away everything I had.

At the risk of paraphrasing Sister Soulja, I submit that it would be better for people to kill secret police agents than themselves.
