Should we believe it?

Should we believe it?

There’s still no photos yet, and all the wire services are citing the same source.

Yonhap is usually reliable though, so I tend to buy it.

There's a little more information at the BBC News link now:

"Kim Jong-un has appeared in public for the first time in 20 days, North Korean state media says.

KCNA news agency reports that the North Korean leader cut the ribbon at the opening of a fertiliser factory.

It adds that people at the factory "broke into thunderous cheers of hurrah" when he appeared.

The reported appearance - his first since an event on state media on 12 April - comes amid global speculation over his health.

The latest reports from North Korean media could not be independently confirmed."

Kim Jong-un Resurfaces, State Media Says, After Weeks of Health Rumors

He appeared at a ceremony at a factory in Sunchon, the North’s state media said. The report has not been independently confirmed.

Later Saturday, the North Korean news agency released photos showing a smiling Mr. Kim clapping hands and standing with his hands locked behind his back, a new fertilizer factory in the background.

The agency said Mr. Kim had cut the ribbon at the newly completed factory. “All the participants again burst into thunderous cheers of ‘hurrah!’” it said, adding that Mr. Kim “warmly acknowledged the builders and masses raising thunderous cheers.” The report went on to say that he looked around the factory, accompanied by senior Workers’ Party officials, including his only sister, Kim Yo-jong, it said.

I've seen some pictures and footage. Unless he's lost 100-plus pounds and aged a decade or more in the past few weeks, it's a double.

 

[MsJosie]

I keep looking and the recently released pictures of Kim Jong. It is a double. If he was as sick as they say, he would has lost weight, especially in the face. This guy lost no weight. The smile is off, hair.

I know by now the government’s across the world have done onto comparisons. Even with any enhancement by NK experts will figure it out.

imo...It is NOT Kim Jong.

SECRET PROJECT
The phosphate fertiliser factory in Sunchon, under construction since June 2017, has received much attention from North Korea’s leaders, with multiple visits by Kim Jae Ryong and Pak.

International observers say the plant is part of the North’s clandestine pursuit of uranium extraction for use in nuclear weapons, as the mineral can be a byproduct of making phosphate fertiliser.

There is strong evidence the factory is involved in uranium extraction, said a report this month by the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, based in California, in line with Kim’s policy of pursuing economic and military strength.

The North is motivated to use the plant because it is cost-effective and can easily conceal uranium enrichment, which Pyongyang has long sought to hide, the report said. Uranium enrichment offers an alternative to plutonium processing as a fuel for nuclear weapons.

I am very skeptical of these photos. First off, they were shown by the state run news media and of all places, it was at this fertilizer plant which could be for uranium enrichment. I have to question if this was done just to show that they are still in control if something really did happen to Kim Jong Un.

I will let the experts analyze these photos and video, which I’m sure they have been doing as soon as they were released.

MOO
