Cutting Edge Disguises. Will the Real Kim Jong Un Please Stand Up?

Cutting Edge Disguises. Will the Real Kim Jong Un Please Stand Up?

Charles Black

Republicans are jovial after taking credit for the UN sanctions on North Korea.  This leaves most Americans asking the following question.  It's the question of all questions.  Here it is.  If North Korea were a television series, what would it be?  The most secretive nation in the world leaves many creative voids to be filled.  I'm thinking about Breaking Bad, Naked Gun, and a multitude of spy comedies.  But, what do we actually know about Kim Jong Un?

This promising young dictator-to-be was either born in 1982 or 1983.  But, after that, the details of his childhood become a little unclear.  He might have attended Liebefeld Steinhölzli school in Koniz Switzerland for the sixth, seventh and eight grade under the fake name Pak-un.  Or, that kid might have been his brother.  Or, it might have been some other son of a North Korean official.  We might never know.  

Reliable sources of information about North Korea are scarce.  The best information we have comes from North Korean defectors.  These people tell horror stories of an entire country being held hostage.  But, their stories of torture, rape and mass murder are scattered throughout the internet and the world.  

It's time to shift the conversation about North Korea away from US national security.  It's time to start talking about human rights.  If you know of any information collected from North Korean defectors, start by making use of the social media buttons below.

A United States Map of leading church bodies shows a medium sized pocket of Catholicism at the bottom of the otherwise Southern Baptist state of Texas.  Just one state over, in Louisiana, the Catholic section gets smaller.  Then, in Mississippi, there is only one small Catholic county.  Charles Black grew up in that tiny Catholic slither of an otherwise Southern Baptist state.

Charles's education has always been theologically intensive.  He attended Catholic schools from kindergarten though twelfth grade.  The curriculum included biblical theology, as well as multi faith studies in Buddhism, Hindu, and Krishna.  In 2001, Charles Black graduated from Louisiana State University with a BS in Economics.  He obtained college credits in anthropology and religious studies.  

In 2013, Charles Black converted to the Baha'i faith.  The practice of this religion always involves teaching and learning.  However, Ruhi training is widely accepted as a standard curriculum.  In 2015, Charles Black completed Ruhi Book 6 training.  Now, he maintains this website as a resource for people hoping to gain a better understanding of the faith.
