Reportedly decapitation is on the table:
US intelligence agencies are finalizing a plan to eliminate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, an anonymous high-level Pentagon source said.
One source claims that according to a leaked document, the US plan includes disguising a small building opposite Kim’s primary office in the DPRK building.
The disguise would turn the smaller building into a “Pizza Hut” selling both normal and poisoned pizzas.
According to a South Korean military official, the US will work under South Korean command. US special agents will form a special brigade under South Korean command, which the natives would tailor to meet the area’s unique requirements.
Speaking about the possibility of eliminating Kim, US Navy Admiral James Stavridis, who also served as NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, said, “decapitation is always a tempting strategy when you’re faced with a highly unpredictable and highly dangerous leader.
I don’t know about the poisoned pizzas, but the need to take him out makes sense.
You have to view these things in the light of amygdala. Jong-un is paranoid, based on all the killing of subordinates and relatives that he has done lately. That is high amygdala which is driving extreme behavior. Like any dictator, he is under threat from the people around him, and he probably assumes there are plots by other nations to take him out. His life probably ricochets between extremes of ease and pleasure, and fear and paranoia, preventing stable adaptation to one environment. He has shown signs of mental deterioration, by finding more aggressive ways to execute people, even using anti-aircraft guns. He has health problems, which affect the musculoskeletal system. This will both trigger the amygdala with pain and frustration, and possibly lead to the use of amygdala-unbalancing opioids, making things even worse.
The unpredictability of amygdala-deterioration is visible in his assassination of his brother using VX in a crowded airport in a foreign nation. As amygdalae begin to overload, the ability of the amygdala to constrain behavior disappears. You see it most clearly in spree killers, who kill once, experience amygdala-shock, and then begin killing faster and faster as each kill further overloads their amygdala and they break down, until the final act which results in the individual’s death.
This amygdala-deterioration in a dictator would be bad enough, but when such an unbalanced individual has both nuclear weapons, and a cult-like nation of subordinates who will follow his every order, that is a problem that could spiral out of control at any moment.
Then again, this might be a ruse to get China to finally either rein him in or get one of his subordinates to launch a coup.
Either way, it is one more ironic case of how the ease and comfort they crave is actually prone to destroy the lives of rabbits.
Spread r/K Theory, because you can enjoy ease, but never let yourself adapt to it
[…] The US Is Planning To Assasinate Kim Jong-un? […]
“The unpredictability of amygdala-deterioration is visible in his assassination of his brother using VX in a crowded airport in a foreign nation.”
Do you know of any evidence that it was Un behind the assassination. From everything I have seen, all the informed analysts say it wasn’t DPRK.
I assumed they tracked it back to DPRK operatives who fled and were reported as wanted, but again, I have no firsthand knowledge, and lately the media is entirely full of shit. So I cannot say anything definitely.
These leaks always happen for a reason. Gaming this one out, the real purpose could be:
1) Sabotage the mission. Unlikely, the deep state loves assassination.
2) Sabotage the pizza joint. Now that this story is out, that place will be bulldozed and everyone who worked there is in danger of being mortar targets. Unlikely, because who would bother? I think it is to our strategic advantage to get KJU to eat 10 pizzas a day, actually.
3) To get into KJU’s head and distract him from an entirely conventional attack. This is very likely — it’s straight from the IC playbook, and it’s just plain fun to watch a wackaloon take competent men, and instead of having them prepare for the attack those men can clearly see coming, make them track down some figment of the leader’s imagination. It both diverts resources AND wrecks morale.
4) To drive a wedge between KJU and his IC. He won’t see this story unless they bring it to his attention. They might choose to hide it, since it’s, you know, exactly the sort of crazy shit he overreacts to. The problem they face with that is if he somehow still discovers it, and they didn’t tell him about it. That will cause him to think that they are either incompetent, or in fact working against him and in on the Pizza Plot.
I would divide my bets between #3 and #4. I would posit #5, which is that the intent was a combination of 3 & 4 as a Xanatos Gambit. Wait for him to wig out, and if he doesn’t, have a mole make sure he hears about it, with the insinuation that it was intentionally hidden from him.
Psst, don’t tell Mr. Kim, but we have an agent inside the palace who’s going to poison his Cheerios.
These leaks may be a plan to drive Kim deeper into paranoia, making him see potential assassins everywhere. As a precaution, he might execute and replace his entire food staff.
On the downside, freaking him out about poison might cause him to eat less and lose weight, which could actually improve his health.
Hi everyone.
Arrived in Switzerland last night for my assisted suicide at the Dignitas clinic.
Is very comfortable and the staff are nice,
Though i think they’re taking the piss when they served Cheerios at breakfast this morning!
Love you all

I would imagine that the story leaking on the mode of assassination means that he is under surveillance and they are gauging his responses to various threats as I couldn’t imagine the actual plan just leaking onto a website.
On the gloomy side I would hate to be any Pizza Delivery guy in the DPRK who might meet the business end of an Anti-Aircraft Gun.
