CLOSE Two tremors were detected in North Korea Saturday and were likely aftershocks of the country’s Nuclear test in early September. For more on the story here is Zachary Devita. Buzz60

 North Korea has made many incredulous claims about the powers of leader Kim Jong Un and his family. Now it’s boasted of the greatest yet: He can control the weather. 
 
 After releasing images this weekend of a smiling Kim on top of Mount Paektu, an active volcano on the China and North Korea border, the nation's state media said the "peerlessly illustrious commander" can control "the nature." 
 
 The evidence for this weather modification? 
 
 When Kim "ascended" to the top of the 9,000-foot mountain through thick snow wearing his signature double-breasted winter coat and black leather shoes, a blizzard gave way to "fine weather unprecedented." 
 
 Kim was apparently responsible for this moment of sunshine on what should have been, according to a North Korean government statement, a dreary winter day. 
 
 "Mount Paektu presented charming scenery showing magic peaks and dazzling sunshine on its clear and blue waves," the account of Kim's journey up the mountain published in North Korea's official state newspaper Rodong Sinmun said. 
 
 According to the account, Kim's trek also put him in a nuclear frame of mind. 
 
 "Imposingly standing on Janggun Peak, the respected Supreme Leader gave a familiar look for a while at the dizzy cliffs and the sea of trees, recalling the emotion-charged days when he realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force without yielding even a moment and with the indomitable faith and will of Paektu." 
 
 Still, unusual things do apparently happen at Mount Paektu. Kim's father, Kim Jong II, claimed that he was born on a secret military camp on the mountain and that his birth there coincided with the appearance of a double rainbow in the sky. 
 
 According to his official biography, Kim Jong II also claimed to be a master golfer who shot 11 holes-in-one in his very first game. At various times North Korean state media has reported that his son started driving at age 3 and is responsible for various medical breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer, Ebola and other serious illnesses.

 Photos of the country's leader show him standing on a snowy mountaintop, with the sun behind him. 
 
 His father, Kim Jong-il, is said by the state to have been born on the mountain, however many historians say he was actually born in Russia. 
 
 Reports say Kim Jong-un reached the 2,750-metre peak alongside hundreds of fighter pilots and party officials. 
 
 "Climbing Mount Paektu provides precious mental pabulum more powerful than any kind of nuclear weapon," the Rodong newspaper quoted him as saying to troops. 
 
 The purpose of the visit is said to have been to see pilots from the Korean People's Army who have completed a tour of battle sites in the area. 
 
 The Oxford English Dictionary defines "pabulum" as "bland or insipid intellectual matter, entertainment". 
 
 The peak of the volcanic mountain, lying on the border with China, is considered a sacred place in Korean folklore. 
 
 It is also part of the propaganda which glorifies the Kim family, who are said to have a "mount Paektu bloodline". 
 
 Recently it has been claimed that Mr Kim could drive by the time he was three years old. 
 
 The regime also says that Kim Jong-il, who ruled until his death in 2011, scored 11 holes-in-one the first time he ever played golf. 
 
 Like his father before him, Mr Kim makes many "field guidance trips" to army bases, factories and other important sites. 
 
 Analysts say this is his way of showing himself as an energetic man of the people. 
 
 North Korea has a troubled economy, with two-thirds of the population, approximately 16 million people, not knowing where their next meal is coming from, according to the UN. 
 
 It is keen to develop its nuclear weapons with their last test taking place in February 2013. 
 
 North Korea has built up its military arsenal and nuclear programme instead of helping feed its people, according to another United Nations report. 
 
 Earlier this year, Michael Kirby, who led a UN commission of inquiry into North Korean human rights violations, claimed to the BBC World Service that some families were even forced to use the ashes of relatives as fertiliser to help grow crops. 
 
 Meanwhile large amounts of government money is understood to be spent on the "supreme leader" and "the advancement of his personality cult".

– Today, being the seventh day, presumably Kim Jong Un is resting. But yesterday, the North Korean despot was busily scaling the snowswept 9,000-foot tallest peak in his kingdom, and state media is reporting everything but that he did it in a single bound, reports the BBC. "Climbing Mount Paektu provides precious mental pabulum more powerful than any kind of nuclear weapon," gushed Rodong; the BBC helpfully notes that "The Oxford English Dictionary defines 'pabulum' as 'bland or insipid intellectual matter, entertainment.' " Kim is pictured with dozens of members of the military atop Paektu. It's the latest heroic exploit for Dear Leader, who last week was reported as having learned to drive by the tender age of three. Mount Paektu is significant to the Kim dynasty, adds Sky News: The regime has long claimed that Kim Jong Il was born on the mountain, giving them a "Mount Paektu bloodline." Others more rooted in things like history and reality say he was born in Russia. The BBC has all the photos here.
