North Korean leader Kim Jong Il dies at 69

He suffered massive heart attack, state news agency says

NBC News and news services

developing story

Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic longtime leader, has died of heart failure. He was 69.

In a "special broadcast" Monday from the North Korean capital, state media said Kim died of a heart ailment on a train due to a "great mental and physical strain" on Dec. 17 during a "high intensity field inspection." It said an autopsy was done on Dec. 18 and "fully confirmed" the diagnosis.

A spokesperson at the Unification Ministry confirmed to NBC News that Kim died on Saturday.

Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008, but he had appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media. The communist country's "Dear Leader" — reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine — was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

How can such a small guy have a massive heart attack? Maybe he had a bigger heart than you would expect. On the other hand living in luxury and letting his people starve proves contrary to the above. The clown is dead long live the clown!

  Mr. Corbett  often comes up with brilliant bodies of information and relevant analysis, as he does again here. To cover all the bases, he contradicts his apprehensions about this being a tense situation with the more central assertion about the core of the N.Korean nuclear program being the creature and substance of the American military industrial complex. They are the ones lobbing the missles with N.Korea merely at the actual physical controls. Why? For the past three years, everytime the renewal of funding for American military bases in Japan comes up, N. Korea blows off a couple of missles. The build up of this event is to confuse and overload the thought processes of the fund voting mewling and prancing congress and pursuers and enemies of the Bush criminal cabal, which includes the American military industrial complex. Not the military. No one likes being shot. Including footsoldiers. Chicken hawks are just fluffing up themselves for their leatherboys.

  Your kung-fu is very good. Besides standing up and lying for 14 minutes about the phony bin laden attack that killed a dozen U.S.Navy Seals, Hillary stood up next to an old rusty mechanism from an old spent torpedo and went on about it being proof  from the incident you speak of, it was not. The torpedos from the N. Korean submarine were of a different design and torpedo firing tube diameter. Hillary was Bush's money launderer for the Mena airport cocaine business and she wrote up the papers for Saddam Hussein's bio-chem weapons (that he threw out a short time later) through the same bank owned by Jack Stephens, Jimmy Carter's's roommate at Annapolis. His legal offices are still at the same tiny airstrip in Florida where several of the 9-11 'hijackers' trained to fly and drop cocaine for Bush/bin Laden drugs, inc.. The guy who owned the Texas book depository bldg. in Dallas on 11/22/1963 did his military contract testing here. Jeb Bush's commuter airplane's home base was here. Mohammed Atta, the lead 'hijacker lived around here and was a big coke head with a lot of moneywho frequently drank and lived with a stripper. he was from the same officer exchange program as Andreas Strassmeir, Timothy McVeigh's mentor. H. Kissinger and D. Rockefeller ran this program.

Your right, [here's an extact from my blog on here] this is without doubt a US led Military Industrial Complex farce; and looks like we're seeing a run-up to the annual saber rattling, as lets not forget only last Christmas time, when a huge military annual exercise took place in the region between the USA and South Korea, and when two people were killed when allegedly North Korea fired missiles on a village close to the N. Korean border on the 23rd November 2010.  I personally blame the US and the South Korea for the provocation, just looking into the matter and what’s gone on in the past, proves neither of these parties can be trusted.  On the 26th March 2010, the mysterious sinking of the South Korean warship the Cheonan was due to a ‘close-range’ explosion under the ship, a preliminary inquiry first found.  After examining the bow of the salvaged ship, officials say the warship was damaged by a ‘bubble jet’ caused by an external underwater blast.  Analysts say that such an effect could be caused by a torpedo or a mine exploding below the ship.  An explosion split the Cheonan in half and it sank, leaving 46 sailors dead.

  More important than two junk missles being poofed off into the ocean, did you notice for the past three years, every time the bill comes up for the U.S. military bases in Japan, N. Korea fires off a couple of missiles.Why?

  Central to the terror threat to the U.S. is the source of  THE ACTUAL ATTACKS  I describe below. If you never take on problems or threats bigger than yourself, you will not develop yourself. The real source of terrorism in this country is too much for most mewling fools to comprehend. Look up 'mewling'. Piglets, puppies, kittens, and congressmen do it. Congressmen prance AND mewl to survive as servants to the CFRtv and the central bank. Better to get knocked down once in awhile to learn to develop stability.

  Congress had 9% approval rate 10 days ago, so they suspended the Bill of Rights and now they have a 6% rating(Rasmussen). There is your terrorism. Traitorous mewling piglet congressmen. Understand the attacks against the U.S.. They(and Fukushima) are the ONLY terrorism. Let N. Korea blow off crap that would never hit a target anyway that was not targetted by the NWO. Mao tse Tung went to Yale and was a Skull and Bones person, which led to BIG MONEY for the 1948 revolution. The only reason Japan can't deal with Fukushima and N. Korea blows off a couple missles is because the big money people told them what to do. Kim Jong Il did not miss any meals. This banker alliance must go. (Rogue, not rouge, though Kim Jong Il did dress himself up a bit sometimes.)

Did that help? The Bush crime cabal is the only terrorism affecting the U.S.. The City of London is the home for terrorism against the U.S.. Israel is their tool. If N. Korea wants financial aid from the IMF, they will do what they are told to do. In coolege, I wasted a lot of time earning good grades in political science. It is more about money, which a 3rd grader can understand.

@ apeman; I fully back and understand what you are saying about the WTC etc. - but I was refering to the death of Kim Jong Il, and not - 'N.Korea blowing off two missles into the ocean'- though I can see what you mean as you was refering to the news story about them firing a couple of nuke-warheads on Monday. You've come in, and I must say because you've not particularly addressed anyone, and as I'm the only other person to have made a comment, so take it you was refering to what I'd said, - you replied; "Relax. They are just ditching them", and I came back with my comment below, - and then you re-replied with your last comment; though I think we've got are wires crossed, so I take it back, if  I sounded as if I was having a pop at you.  I'm 100% behind you and your stance on 9/11 - repects...

 What did I do? Relax about the N.Koreans popping a couple of junk missles into the drink. RELAX!! Listen up hyperman. I and many others have known of the demolition systems installed in the WTCs I,II, and 7 since they went up.It was published back then. The Chicago Sears tower(now Willis tower) likewis was set up. Some entity, the Bush cabal, retriggered WTC I and II and Silverstein pulled WTC7 and lied about it. Buildings 4,5, and 6 werre loaded just before the jets hit, probably that morning.

   George H.W. Bush and a group of nuclear device experts from the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. installed  commercial graded nukes in the basements of I,II, and 7 to facilitate a hole to drop the buildings into. I, and many others , have known this since they did it in the 1960s. I have downloaded over 10,000 videos on this and associated activities by the criminal cabal responsible. NOT ONE website has done an interview with any of the actual builders of the WTCs. Ask them why not. I do not know. I am not one. , but I examined all the update blue-print packages during the entire construction.

   I also was present when Hillary Clinton procured the pistol they found on Vince Foster in Marcey park in 1994.With no fingerprints on it. She got it in Seattle in 1983 during the primaries when Bill was getting his national campaign underway. I am the person who wrote down the serial numbers. My great-great grandfather started Seattle Hardware in the 1880s for the Alaska Goldrush. Clinton got his name outfor the campaign in 1984. Keynote address at the Dem. convention 1988. Nomination in 1992.

  So, N.Korea blows off a couple missles into the ocean? Big deal. The Bush cabal was there to set the explosives in the WTCs and Sears tower, situate and license and commission the Fukushima plant, run death squads in central America, back-stab President Carter, plug Pres. Reagan using a messed up Bush family friend's son ,deregulate the stock, bond and other markets to facilitate wholesale looting, intentionally built the oil wells at the Maconda Prospect to blowout and kill the Gulf with oil and Corexit poison, etc. The fuckers killed JFK and Bobby.

  So get worked up about little N.Korea blowing off two missles into the ocean? No. Worry about the inbred shit running America. The inbred shit of England is the same crime family.They like to rape anything and everything. Fascism is priapism with a loaded gun with the safety off.choose your leaders wisely and study marshall arts so you learn to cope and prioritize your problems in quick order.

@ apeman2502 - Re: "Relax. They're are just ditching them."  - Why is it we in the so called West, think we know what's best for the rest?  - I can bet your arse, the streets in North Korea are 1000% times safer to roam at night than it is in a country village here in England, the USA or Europe, the so called 'famine' was brought about by sanctions from the West, and in respects to "us" they might be poor, for they might not have the latest DVD, Washing Macine, Micowave oven or colour TV, but many of them in their hearts are happy, money doesn't buy love, and these kind or poor societies have strong bonded families, unlike us in the West, whose most families are fractured, know of someone whose been involved in crime, drugs or have a drink problem, - and our only real friends are non 'online' ones.   I know things are far from perfect out there in places like N. Korea, and maybe the people do want and need change, but as we are beginning to see for ourselves here in the West, things aren’t necessarily greener on the other side, - and that after all, we too in the West, are in need of a drastic true and honest transition of change, - that in a sense requires and incorporates many a socialist principle. 

     As after all, what have we presently to offer them; our villages, towns and cities are full of vice, drugs, crime, alcoholism and Aids, - we're in trillions of pounds, dollars and Euro's in debt, with more debt, and even more debt still to came, - we have massive unemployment which is set to get worse, and the worlds being pushed to the brink of WWIII. - Our shopping malls and high streets are cloned in every town and city, where individuality and small businesses no longer thrive.  Like I say, our economies are fucked, and we’re beginning to have an education system that’s more and more being funded by conglomerates like Nike, BP, McDonald’s and Tesco etc., - so if it means teaching ‘the truth’, then it certainly won’t be taught in these types of subsidised establishments.  Our Schools, Health Services and Post Office's are getting flogged off, as already have, and will the remainder of our industries, i.e. 'our', the 'peoples'  railways, gas, electric, water and oil companies, that all presently make their handful of owners billions in fat profits, - yet cripple the rest of us with their extortionate prices.

     We don’t manufacture anything anymore, unemployment is rising by the day, we're flooded with millions of illegal immigrants, our libraries, swimming pools and youth clubs and halls are being closed down, our charities are folding, and no one can afford to buy their own homes, let alone drive a car.  So please tell me this, what the fuck can we offer any of these people in N. Korea?

     Hold up, - who’s the hoodwinked one at the back of the hall, - who shouted out "Relax - at least you've got Freedom’.  Well matey, [apeman2502 in this case], if this is freedom we have over here is the West, and you wish for me to be 'relaxed' - then it just goes to show you how successfully you’ve been subliminally indoctrinated into believing this fallacy, - just because you can walk down the road to buy your shopping, get pissed, or drugged out of your head whenever you like, - this is hardly the true meaning of ‘FREEDOM’, as what it really is, is "ESCAPISM!".
