Dennis Rodman Claims Kim Jong Un Didn't Actually Have Uncle Executed And Fed To Dogs
The Huffington Post | by Paige Lavender

(US) Former basketball star Dennis Rodman says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not execute his uncle Jang Song Thaek.

In fact, Rodman says he saw Thaek on one of his famous trips to North Korea.

North Korean state media confirmed in December 2013 Thaek was purged on allegations of corruption, drug use and a long list of other "anti-state" acts. Reports from North Korean state media claimed he was executed.

But Rodman said that's not the case in an interview with DuJour magazine:

[Dennis Rodman]: You could say anything here about North Korea and people would believe it. The last time I went there, when they said they killed his girlfriend, they killed his uncle, they just fed him to the dogs... They were standing right behind me.

Rodman better watch his step as he might just disappear on his next trip to north Korea.

I hope to be doing a little side tour (train tour!) from Beijing into North Korea in October, so I'll check it out, and report back to TV as to whether it is true or not.

Many truths spoken in jest.

Who knows what is really truth these days...one can not depend upon anything spoken, seen on TV, or read in the papers...some events are staged for public consumption...we...the people...are being duped on every level...

[tingtongteesood]

When Rodman went there the first time with the Harlem Globetrotters, they were trying to build a bridge between countries using basketball. I applauded all their efforts then. But since that visit, Rodman seems to have become completely insane !

[The Usual Suspect]

Oh yeah............I'm buyin' that story!

Anybody who believes Kim Jong Un killed his ex for staring in a porno and selling the DVDs and had his uncle killed

and eaten by starved dogs is a fool. Just the political ramblings of South Korean fringe newspapers who can make up

and print anything they want which then gets picked up as gospel truth by foreign news agencies like FOX News.

No corroboration, just reporting the ramblings of South Korean journalists on the same level as Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh,

and Hanity. None of the rest of the world takes those journalists seriously. Remember the bigger the lie the more believable.

The more sensational the better. Tabloid news at its best.

I am no fan of Rodman but I believe him.

You should really keep up. A Chinese paper was the source of the dog story, and that was viewed as unlikely in the days afterwards, and it was even on places like Fox that they said they did not think he was executed this way in the following days. It was North Korea itself that was the source of the stories about him being removed from his positions.

And, oh geez, the later story about his execution was from the North Korean news.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/very-worrisome-sign-north-korea-executes-uncle-leader-kim-jong-f2D11736135

Young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's previously powerful uncle has been executed as a traitor, the country's state-run news service said Thursday.

I guess that was a mistake from the North Korean news then??? They just accidentally reported an execution when there wasn't one.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/north-korean-leader-kim-jong-executed-worse-dog/story?id=21189463

The North Korean official publicly purged by Kim Jong-un was set up by his own wife and has since been executed, according to experts and the North Korean state news agency.

Rodman wouldn't know either one of these people from anyone of similar age they trotted out. He is clearly being shown the North Korea that they want him to see.

Who on earth gives any consideration to the opinion of Rodman? Is there a more ignorant man on earth? Yes, maybe his friend Kim Jun Un? You would have thought this mindless creton would have learned something from the reaction he got after his trip. Maybe some people just are not capable of learning?
