North Korea's Kim Jong-Un demands absolute loyalty from ruling elites
by Joseph Earnest December 17, 2013
Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas—The West is still reeling from the news that Kim Jong-Un executed his uncle Jang Song Thaek over the weekend under unexpected circumstances. The ruling elites got a clear message from Kim that he would not tolerate disloyalty from within the ranks and that traitors would be dealt with severely, including his blood relatives.
The debacle involves an alleged plot by Kim's uncle Jang, to overthrow the government and seize power. The jury is still out as to whether Jang acted on his own volition or if there were some outside entities that would benefit from regime change, that encouraged the failed plot.
According to the Korean Central News Agency, Jang brought together undesirable forces and formed a faction as the boss of a modern day factional group for a long time and attempted to overthrow the state with the wild ambition of grabbing the supreme power from his nephew. A military tribunal was held which examined Jang's crimes.
Jang reportedly admitted to the crimes during the course of the hearings and the decision made by the special military tribunal of the Ministry of State Security of the DPRK was read out at the trial.
"Every sentence of the decision served as sledge-hammer blow brought down by our angry service personnel and people on the head of Jang, an anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional element and despicable political careerist and trickster," the Korean Central News Agency reported.
"The accused is a traitor to the nation for all ages who
perpetrated anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional acts in a bid to
overthrow the leadership of our party and state and the socialist
system.
"Jang was appointed to responsible posts of the party and state
thanks to the deep political trust of President Kim Il Sung and leader
Kim Jong Il and received benevolence from them more than any others from
long ago. He held higher posts than before and received deeper trust from supreme leader Kim Jong Un, in particular. It is an elementary obligation of a human being to repay trust with sense of obligation and benevolence with loyalty.
"However, despicable human scum Jang, (their words, not mine) who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the party and the leader for him."
Jang was also accused of accepting bribes from the enemies in an effort to create instability, and that he was jealous of the admiration people showed Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and embarked on an undertaking to usurp the power of Kim Jong-Un.
"Jang made his department put major economic fields of the country
under its control in a bid to disable the Cabinet. In this way he
schemed to drive the economy of the country and people's living into an
uncontrollable catastrophe.
"He put inspection and supervision organs belonging to the Cabinet under his control in defiance of the new state machinery established by Kim Jong Il at the First Session of the Tenth Supreme People's Assembly. He put all issues related to all structural works handled by the Cabinet under his control and had the final say on them, making it impossible for the Cabinet to properly perform its function and role as an economic command.
"Jang was so reckless with his greed for power that he persistently
worked to stretch his tentacles even to the People's Army with a foolish
calculation that he would succeed in staging a coup if he mobilized the
army.
"He fully revealed his despicable true colors as a traitor for all ages in the course of questioning by uttering as follows: "I attempted to trigger off discontent among service personnel and people when the present regime does not take any measure despite the fact that the economy of the country and people's living are driven into catastrophe. Comrade supreme leader is the target of the coup,"" the Korean Central News Agency revealed.
According to the North Korea's Ministry of State Security of the DPRK, the state subversion attempted by the accused Jang with an aim to overthrow the people's power of the DPRK by ideologically aligning himself with enemies is a crime punishable by Article 60 of the DPRK Criminal Code—the death sentence.
