#1 "More than 300 sets of triplets are born in North Korea every year ..."

Any idea whether this represents a higher or lower percentage per capita than elsewhere, out of curiosity?

#2 "The children of all high-ranking government officials are taken from their parents at the age of two and transferred to state-controlled schools where family bonds are broken and devotion to Kim is instilled."

They're hostages until they're turned into Kim-drones. Simply incredible.

#3 Humm, Kim seems to be reading The Rules For Evil Overlords:
#69. Independent midwives will be banned from the realm. All babies will be delivered at state-approved hospitals. Orphans will be placed in foster-homes, not abandoned in the woods to be raised by creatures of the wild.

#4 "And Pharoah charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river." EXODUS 1:22

#5 Lessee, raising them in an environment almost guaranteed to produce maladjusted, deeply angry human beings who may have little sense of right or wrong. Yeah, sounds like a good strategy for people you're afraid might someday depose you....

#6 There must've been a North Korean Nostrodamus... and it sounds like Kimmie was a big fan.
