According to the USA
Today, North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun, the official state newspaper (akin to our
New York Times when a Democrat occupies the White House), reported that Kim
Jong Un has the power…to control the weather. The mouthpiece of the Hermit
Kingdom said that when the Dear Leader “ascended” to the top of Mount Paektu,
an active volcano, a raging blizzard stopped and “fine weather unprecedented
commenced.”
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), also
state-controlled, praised that report and referred to Kim Jong Un as their
“peerlessly illustrious commander” who “controls the nature.” This is but one
of a long line of claims regarding Kim’s ruling family.
North Korean state media has previously asserted that
Kim Jong Il, Un’s father, was born
atop Mount Paektu. They also claimed that, at the precise moment of his birth,
a new star lit up the sky and winter abruptly morphed into spring…as a double
rainbow appeared. And that, when he died, a glowing message appeared on the
mountain’s rocks. They also averred that the first time he played golf he made
11 holes-in-one. But even that pales in comparison to their assertion that Jong
Il never needed to use the restroom because his body was so well-calibrated he
didn’t need to relieve himself.
And some say communism is a delusion!
The Hermit Kingdom’s stalwart scriveners have also
stated that Kim Jong Il began walking at three weeks of age, and speaking at
eight weeks. (Yes, quite. And at 10 weeks he could fly, and by 12 weeks he was
teaching pigs to fly).
The so-called journalists in the North’s Deep State
even claim Kim Jong Il invented the hamburger. (This must’ve even been before
Al Gore invented the internet)!
As someone once said, “What’ll they think of next?”
It is fun to mock these preposterous claims, but, in
fairness, America’s own Deep State newspapers, the aforementioned New York
Times and the equally unctuous (as regards progressives) Washington Post, are
not exactly bastions of objectivity and have, in the Trumpian Era, lost what
little credibility they may have had.
The difference is that the North Korean spokes-papers
absurdly laud their current leader and his family, whereas the American ones
incessantly and irrationally attack them.
