Are probably not true but.... Kim Jong-un assassination rumours flood Twitter, Weibo Did social media just prematurely kill off the leader of North Korea?
Rumours that Kim Jong-un, the country�s supreme leader, has been assassinated at the North Korean embassy in Beijing just months after he took power originated on Chinese microblogging service Weibo, and have now spread all over Twitter.
Others are reporting that Jong-un may be on the run rather than dead, but that some kind of coup is taking place.
The rumours remain unsubstantiated, and as Adrian Chen at Gawker wrote, these types of reports crop up often given the furtive nature of North Korea�s government.

We started losing wars when they started calling them police actions. If we fight, we need to FIGHT and get it done.

Mission accomplished. actually, i might not be one.i might be a True Citizen. ever heard of one. we lost Korea, Vietnam, and some would suggest we lost Iraq, and are on the way of pulling out of Afghanistan. the Russians pulled out of the stan, so it's not a disgrace. you and folks like you need to read the current newspapers. are we here to control the world, or are we here to be a Nation?

If we fight, we need to FIGHT and get it done. yep Like I said in another thread earlier, if a war takes more than 6 weeks it ain't a war it's just playing tiddly winks. If they ain't going to go in and kill everything in sight then pack up and leave it a desolate wasteland then they need to stay home and keep their thumb up their ass where it belongs.

Getting back on track here. It looks like somebody posted some crap on twitter or whatever just to sit back and enjoy the spectacle. Not a peep about it anywhere else.

Looks like just a rumor. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politic...kim-jong-un-assassination-rumors-untrue/The Internet was abuzz with rumors today that North Korea�s newly installed leader, Kim Jong Un, was assassinated during a trip to Beijing, but U.S. officials are debunking the reports as not true.
Several U.S. officials contacted by ABC News said there was no validity to the reports that originated on a Chinese social media site and soon spread to Twitter.
�There�s nothing to this, � said one U.S. official, who added that there were no indications that the reports were true.
Another U.S. official said, �Our experts are monitoring the situation and we see no abnormal activity on the [Korean] peninsula and nothing that credits that tweet as accurate.�
North Korean troop movements on the North Korean side of the border are often an indicator that the country�s leadership is preparing for tense situations, much as what happened when Kim Jong Un assumed power late last year.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

My dad spent many a day aboard a MSTS C-3 Troop Ship as a Marine Engineer transporting troops to and from Korea during the whole Korean Conflict. His Ship brought back the second load of Korean Vets from Korea to the old MSTS terminal (now the Coast Guard Base) in Seattle.
