CINA

Last night (possibly after a lot of French red wine and a bottle of Hennessy cognac???^^) the "Dear Leader" - the "Sun of the 21st Century" - appointed (his youngest son) Kim Jong-un - the "Rising Star of the 21 Century" - to the rank of a four-star general(*). It was the first time Jong-un's name has been mentioned by Pyongyang's state media.
Kim Jong-il's sister Kyeong-hui, to be in a good/proper position to take care of Jong-un, was also promoted to a 4-star general of the KPA.

And only 12 hours later KCNA was able to spread the "Good News" that (surprise, surprise!!) "Kim Jong Il Reelected as General Secretary of WPK"!!
