"North Korea says leader has reappeared" by Tashina Amiro

Due to all of the popular issues withe Ebola and ISIS, good old North Korea has been on the back burner. One of these reasons might be because Kim Jong Un hasn't been seen by the public for a while until recently. When he was finally seen, he was using a walking stick and seemed to have gained some weight; this of course is brought to the attention of conspiracy theorists. Some question if he was sick or if he could honestly just be a figurehead used when he is needed.

Personally, I don't know much about North Korea, but I would question some things too. One person pointed out that when Kim Jong was seen, it was on a holiday to commemorate his father and grandfather. I don't know if that would have anything to do with the cane or if it explains why he was absent before. He could have very well been sick and needed time to rejuvenate himself. Overall, it's a fishy situation that I would like to read more about in other articles.

  2. His presense is haunting. He has this smile that is biggest one I've ever seen and the weirdest part of it all is that this 32year old ruler carries a walking stick when they say he's "perfectly healthy".Made me think about that for a while.
