Something wicked scary has been going on for a while. I think there's more to the Ryongchon and Yongjori incidents than meets the eye.

James Lilley, former ambassador to both the PRC and the DPRC was interviewed on the 'Your World with Neil Cavuto' show last night. Lilley mentioned intelligence rumors floating around, concerning the multiple defections of DPRC Generals. (To the PRC, NOT South Korea) His take seemed to be that the PRC had orchestrated a quiet coup, and basically controlled North Korea.
Pretty wild stuff, we'll have to wait and seeâ€¦
