PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea on Friday announced the execution of Kim  Jong Un’s uncle, calling the leader’s former mentor a traitor who tried to  overthrow the state.

….”Wait,…. Wait,…. Wait…., Annnddd FIRE” !…..
…..”See,…. I tell you uncle Dog Boy run fast”…

The announcement came only days after Pyongyang announced through state media  that Jang Song Thaek — long considered the country’s No. 2 power — had been  removed from all his posts because of allegations of corruption, drug use,  gambling, womanizing and leading a “dissolute and depraved life.”

The state news agency KCNA said a tribunal examined Jang’s  crimes, including “attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues  and despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our  party and state.”

The report called him “a traitor to the nation” and “worse than a dog.”

Jang was seen as helping Kim Jong Un consolidate power after the death of his  father, Kim Jong Il, two years ago. Jang was the latest and most significant in  a series of personnel reshuffles that Kim has conducted in an apparent effort to  bolster his power.
Some analysts see the purge as a sign of Kim Jong Un’s growing confidence,  but there has also been fear in Seoul that the removal of such an important part  of the North’s government — seen by outsiders as the leading supporter of  Chinese-style economic reforms — could create dangerous instability or lead to a  miscalculation or attack on the South.  (continue reading)
