“Peace Negotiator” Mike Pompeo: There is a CIA Plot to Assassinate Kim Jong-un?

In May of last year, the DPRK accused accused both the CIA (headed by Mike Trump) and the ROK’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) of “a failed plot to assassinate its leader Kim Jong-un with a biochemical bomb at a military parade in Pyongyang.”


Neither the CIA nor the White House responded to these accusations.


While press reports acknowledged the CIA’s “long history” of political assassinations, the DPRK’s accusations were casually dismissed.

According to The Guardian (March 5, 2017)



“The CIA has a long history of helping to kill leaders around the world. US intelligence agency has since 1945 succeeded in deposing or killing a string of leaders, but was forced to cut back after a Senate investigation in the 1970s”

Alleged Assassination Attempt. Five Days Before President Moon’s Inauguration on March 10, 2017


What the Western media failed to notice was that the alleged assassination attempt  directed against Chairman Kim (May 5, 2017)  took place five days prior to the inauguration of Moon Jae-in as President of the ROK on May 10th 2017.


It is worth noting that in early March 2017, the intelligence team at the ROK National Intelligence Service (alias KCIA) was STILL under the control of the US approved appointees of impeached president Park Geun-hye (daughter of the late dictator Park Chung-hee assassinated in 1979).


The NIS had also been actively involved in an illicit propaganda scam to influence the vote in the 2012 elections which led to Mrs Park’s victory.



Following Moon’s accession to the presidency, a new head of the ROK National Intelligence Service (NIS) Suh Hoon was duly appointed. While a major shuffle was undertaken within the NIS, Suh Hoon’s appointment had nonetheless been (formally) approved by Langley.


Mike Pompeo’s Grotesque Insinuation


In a bitter irony, a few months later in October 2017 (see SCMP report)  CIA Director Mike Pompeo (now Secretary of State) jokingly denied and acknowledged (without referring to the May 5, 2017 alleged assassination during a military parade in Pyonyang) that there is a  plot to assassinate Chairman Kim, which is part of the CIA’s longstanding history of political assassinations.



“If Kim Jong-un suddenly dies, don’t ask me about it, says CIA chief”


“With respect to … if Kim Jong-un should vanish, given the history of the CIA, I’m just not going to talk about it,” the CIA director said on Thursday, when asked what would happen if Kim suddenly died.











We are going to become a much more vicious agency

… “The president’s made it very clear. He’s prepared to ensure that Kim Jong-un doesn’t have the capacity to hold America at risk. By military force if necessary.”





In a bitter irony, the same Mike Pompeo who casually refers to “CIA history”of political assassinations, has come to play a central role in the “peace” negotiations with Pyongyang.

Suh Hoon together with Moon’s  National Security Advisor Chung Eui-yong were put in charge of a process of trilateral negotiation. On March 6, Chung Eui-yong, together with four other senior ROK officials including NIS head Suh Hoon, met up with the DPRK leadership in Pyongyang.


This meeting on March 6, 2018 set the stage for the former CIA director’s followup “secret meeting in Pyongyang”: Mike Pompeo travelled to Pyongyang over the Easter holiday for talks with the DPRK leadership with a view to negotiating the terms of the Singapore Summit which had been set for June 12, and in all likelihood will not take place.


North Korean leaders were fully aware of Pompeo’s real intent. They nonetheless played the game.


Peace was never on the US agenda. The objective was to shunt the inter-Korean dialogue and impose a unilateral process of “denuclearization”. Acknowledged by Pompeo, there is a CIA Plot to Assassinate Kim Jong-un. Is it Pompeo’s Plan B?
