Unbelievable. How many people died at the order of this scumbag, and they decide to pay him tribute as if he were a great leader?

Xinhua – The 66th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Thursday observed a minute’s silence to mourn the death of Kim Jong Il, leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, president of the 66th General Assembly session, asked the representatives of 193 UN member states attending a plenary session on economic and financial affairs to pay tribute to the late DPRK leader, who died on Dec. 17.

The move was at the request of the DPRK, said the president, and the one-minute silence was observed before the start of the plenary meeting of the General Assembly.

“Before proceeding to the items on our agenda and following with the exiting practice, it is my sad duty to pay tribute to the memory of the late Kim Jong-Il, secretary-general of the Workers’ Party of Korea, chairman of the national defense commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and supreme commander of the Korean People’s Army who passed away on Saturday, Dec.17, 2011, ” the president said at the meeting on Thursday afternoon.

“I request the representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to convey condolences to the government and the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” he added.

However, representatives of the United States, Japan, South Korea on Thursday boycotted the one-minute silence at the General Assembly, with Britain, France, Germany and other European countries joining them.

Here’s my contribution, just in case you haven’t seen this. It’s a woman who escaped one of the political prisons in N. Korea describing the horrific and gruesome conditions she and her family have had to live in. She’d been imprisoned there from the age of 13. Her crime? Her grandfather escaped to S. Korea:

How disgusting...even more reason to leave the u.n. If ever there was a hint of a return to nazism it is here...at the united "rogue's gallery" of nations. And really...nelson mandella and desmond tutu belong there too, especially after what they said about George W. Bush back in 2003. Oh and one more person to throw into the pot is Koffi Annan.

Just goes to show you that the UN is an evil organization. "The Dear Leader" expanded concentration camps including those that hold three generations. 3 million starved to death while Kim spent 600,000$/year on cognac. This is grounds for pulling out of the UN and getting it out of America.

Grace, I have spent a lot of time at Malstrom AFB in Great Falls, over my time here, there are no "UN" Planes there (there are not many aircraft at all stationed there), there is no FEMA Camp there either (as some guy named Todd who had too much fun with that google map claims). George Noory (Host of Coast to Coast AM) is a good friend and confidant of Alex Jones, they often collaborate on this nonsense.

Many groups or "secret societies" claim lineage from from the dreaded Illuminati of Bavaria, just as many claim linkage to the Poor Knights of the Temple (aka the Knights Templars). These have served as the "bogiemen" of history for some time now and we can now add FEMA Camps to the long list of these bogiemen. I have looked at this FEMA camp conspiracy theory back when it first surfaced over 15 years ago and ironically, when we look at who is behind pushing this story, three names keep popping up, a steroid ravaged ex wrestler/former Governor Jesse Ventura, Alex Jones and George Noory. All three profit a great deal from this cloak and dagger fairy tale through their websites, radio shows, books and c.t. conventions. Has Jones been right about somethings? Yes, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

As an example, the supposed satellite image of Swift Luck Greens, Wyoming (purported to be a FEMA concentration camp) is actually a forced labor mining camp in North Korea, the image lifted from a report called "The Hidden Gulag: Exposing North Korea's Prison Camps" put out by the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea.

Perhaps the most widely viewed video, the one that really kicked this off 15 years ago filmed at Beech Grove, an Amtrak railcar repair facility, by a woman named Linda Thompson ( a real piece of work) considered by the early militia movement to be too extreme even for them. The building she filmed in was demolished over seven years ago when Amtrak was updating the facilities, Beech Grove is still an active repair facility, in fact it is one of Amtrak's largest employing some 500 workers.

Lastly, because I will waste no more effort or time on this, the supposed several hundred thousand ( I do not recall the exact number now) air tight coffins in Atlanta, are in fact grave liners manufactured by Vantage Products of Covington (also in Georgia, near Atlanta) they ship these to cemeteries all over the country. Atlanta is a major shipping hub for freight moving by truck, rail and air.

If you wish to believe in this fantasy of the fringe (both far left and far right) knock yourself out, there are far more actual threats to our freedom and liberty than these late night AM radio "scare-boo" stories.

It's unbelievable but it doesn't surprise me. The UN is a communist organization. People say, Chris, you're full of conspiracy theories. Well, then I have to ask what's the difference between theory and fact. There's too many facts to support my arguement for it to be theory. Read "Climategate" by Sussman, for starters.

*Puke, barf* -- That's the U.N. for you, honoring psychotic dictators. I'd say now that he's dead it's time to dance on his grave and desecrate it..

Yeah,...this is one dead guy I have no respect for.

The moment of silence should have been for all the North Koreans he murdered.

What the heck has the world come to? The UN has totally lost their credibility. Why weep for a mass murderer? This is worse than mourning for Hitler. Kim Jong Il was worse than Hitler and Stalin combined.

Madalyn Albrite brought Kim a basketball. Bill Clinton sold nuclear material to NKorea. Jimmah Carter sent condolences to Kim's family. The German Red Cross has reported that 10,000 NKoreans starve to death every month.

If the UN were abolished tomorrow who would miss it?

It would have been really cool if we had anyone with some cajones & they let out a big loud burp during the "moment of silence." I'm SO done with our appeasement of evil communist dictators. Who the heck are we, anyway?!
