Official: Kim's Youngest Son Apparent Successor in North Korea

Kim Jong II's crazy offspring to ruulllle the world. Yea! Oh come on people, Brian and I have done "the story according to Kim" many times on this blog and on our Radio Show. The man is insane, so it's not a leap to think that his offspring is "more" insane.

From Fox News:

North Korea has told top officials to pledge allegiance to Kim Jong Il's youngest son, apparently setting him up to succeed his 67-year-old father.

A senior U.S. intelligence official confirmed South Korean media reports that the secretive communist state was sending "guidance" to its missions in foreign countries to swear fealty to 26-year-old Kim Jong Un as the next leader of North Korea.

"The directive went out," the official told FOX News. "This guidance isn't a suggestion — it's an order."

The official described the directive as a milestone in the history of North Korea. But the official contradicted a Reuters report that suggested North Korea would ratchet down tensions and enter talks over its nuclear program, having worked out its line of succession.

The "News Behind the News", in this case is the reason that he picked his youngest son. His two elder son's were becoming "moderinzed". One even went to Japan without his father's permission to go to Tokyo Disneyland, Ah, those rebellious teenagers, I mean "middle aged" children.
