Kim Jong-un is apparently not in control of North Korea anymore

It's been a strange few weeks for Kim Jong-un, as the latest reports from North Korea suggest he's no longer in control of the country at all. 

First, it turns out he's eaten so much cheese that it became a life-threatening addiction, then he got so fat that he fractured his own ankles, and now it seems that he's lost control of the country.

According to what Vice are reporting, Jang Jin-sung, a former senior North Korean official who worked as part of the the previous leader's propaganda machine, has said that the Organization and Guidance Department (OGD) have stopped taking orders from Kim Jong-un. 

The OGD answered only to Kim Jong-il and are extremely powerful and have "effectively taken control of the country", with factions within them arguing over keeping a strict reign over the economy, or opening up slightly to get more money through foreign trade. 

Jang asserted that the country may well be on the brink of a civil war as a result of this divide in a speech given in the Netherlands last month to a group of former North Korean officials and senior diplomats. 

Kim Jong-un has been out of the limelight recently and was not seen at the Supreme People's Assembly, an event which the leader normally always attends. The reason for his absence was cited as the aforementioned injury to his ankles that saw him hospitalised, and instead he was shown in a video touring a military base with a heavy limp. 

However, there were rumours earlier this week on China's social network, Weibo, claiming that a coup had already taken place, although they were later denied, while Jang claims that the OGD is control and Kim Jong-un is a mere puppet leader. Either way, things are getting even weirder over there, and we may not know the truth for a while yet.

You can check out some full details on the story on Vice News, where Jang gave an exclusive interview on what was going on inside the secretive country.

  I suppose Dennis Rodman will claim that he had nothing to do with this character assassination... but we know the truth. We have ripped some pages from the KGB playbook, and used some of our elite idiots to dole out the strontium pellets. Good job, D-rod!

  Please repeat this prayer after me: Dear Lord please put this poor soul out of his suffering by sending him to his well earned hereafter. The heat will help his foot. And with his demise the food supply of N. Korea will go up 20%. A win-win.

  Together, let's all donate a life-long supply of cheese to our beloved and soon to be missed friend, Kim Jong-un, as a token of our generosity and reverence to the people of Korea!

  Like the Shah of Iran, Muammar Gaddafi , Hosni Mubarak, Saddam Hussein, and others, Kim Jong Un made his people miserable. So disgusting that even the 120 dogs that reportedly ate his uncle will puke tasting his devilish flesh!

  It would be ironic if his sister took over the family business. Then, North Korea and South Korea would each have a head of state that is female. Would she insult the leader of South Korea like her brother did? Will she release all political and religious prisoners? Let's hope so. Even if her brother's corpse is not cold.

  Anybody would likely be better than this clown. The generals/ OGD must realize that they need to open up to the rest of the world. Generals everywhere are notorious for protecting their own turf above all else, but at some point they have to understand that their own people are suffering terribly in this isolation.

  No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by the force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power governments, and tyrants, and armies can not stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free. i think G'kar said it best

  The government probably cobbled Kim Jung Un for eating too much. That was his punishment for being a gluten. He has eaten the country out of hose and home. How can you break both ankles from being too fat? I have never heard of that before. Maybe now, he'll be cutting less cheese than usual.

  North Korea taken down by cheese. But we better be careful what we wish for...the new regime could be even more repressive.

  We all certainly hope that twinkle toes is down for the count - permanently - but the more likely scenario is that he is sipping some fine Cognac along with another serving of that cheese after dispatching his henchmen to try and cut a deal with the South for aid in exchange for allowing some short reunions between aging families. You will see this play out in the coming weeks once it is understood that they have nothing to offer and nothing has really changed.

  the reason he broke BOTH ankles is a combination of 2 things...Cheese addiction which caused him to balloon up AND the wearing of "Cuban Heels"..(.to try and look taller...)...broke one first then while walking on the gimpy leg broke the second one......can you imagine those spartan military types putting up with fatboy in charge?...was only a matter of time...N.Korean people are so brainwashed they have to break the news slowly to avoid civil war....
