Kim Jong-un claims to have cured Aids, Ebola and cancer with single miracle drug

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/kim-jong-un-claims-to-have-cured-aids-ebola-and-cancer-with-single-miracle-drug-10332386.html?cmpid=facebook-post



North Korea has created a wonder drug which not only cures Aids, but also eradicates Ebola and cancer, if the latest proclamation from the country’s news agency is to be believed*.

(*Hint: It's probably not)

An announcement says that the miracle cure consists of ginseng grown from fertiliser and a mix of other ingredients- but did not reveal the special combination.

The dictatorship is known for making outlandish claims about its own prowess. The state claims that Kim Jong Il invented the hamburger and had magical powers which meant he did not need to use the toilet.

They also claim that he was born atop a North Korean mountain prompting a double rainbow and new star to spontaneously appear. Unfortunately for the state, records show that he was born in Siberia.

Yesterday the UN revealed that around 10.2 million North Koreans are currently facing famine as the dictatorship experiences its “worst drought for over a hundred years.”

-------------------------------------------------

I looks like the people of North Korea are going to go through another famine. The leadership is spending every dime on the military so food may go from scarce to non-existent.
