#DearLeaderFakeFacts is trending on Twitter. North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-Il passed away yesterday. The death of “Dear Leader” (the way that a lot of folks referred to him) has caused quite a buzz on the Micro-blogging service Twitter this morning.
For those of you who did not know Kim Jong-Il was the General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea (the ruling party in North Korea since 1948), the Chairman of the the National Defence Commission of North Korea and the Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army (the fourth-largest standing army in the world). He was the Supreme Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea from 1994 until his death yesterday.
Some North Korean folks actually believe that he’s one of the most loved leaders in the world and that has some kind of magical / healing powers. Truly unbelievable if you ask me. This dictator and his government were “among the world’s most repressive governments” (according to a 2004 Human Rights Watch report).
The report also stated that there are up to 200,000 political prisoners and no freedom of the press or religion, political opposition or equal education and health care in Northern Korea. Basically every aspect of political, social, and economic life in North Korea is controlled by the government.
This is bound to remain unchained under the leadership of Kim Jong-Il’s son Kim Jong-un (who has been named as his successor). The North Korean people should rise up and take back their country (in my humble opinion).
