Kim Jong Il Death Watch
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il may not survive the year 2012 and massive unrest is likely to follow his death, the state-run Korea Institute for National Unification speculates. A military coup, riots, massacres and a massive exodus could follow Kim’s death, KINU said in its report. [Chosun Ilbo]
My own prediction: I predict with high confidence that Kim Jong Il will die, and that there will be much rejoicing. Also, I predict with moderate to high confidence that one week later, the Pentagon will conclude that its contingency plans are completely inadequate for dealing with any of this.
Does anyone out there have a copy of the original report?
Are you predicting that he will die or that he will die by 2012? 🙂
You are right that there will be much rejoicing.
Also just want to say thanks so much for your blog.
I think the “won’t survive past this year or next” idea is based on faulty notions of the ways in which a stroke enervates someone.
And for those interested, I have a KJI death pool going. Winner gets dinner.
Like the Institute is telling us something we don’t know — everyone dies in 2012
