KCNA Commentary Slams Reckless Remarks of Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Forces in Pacific

Pyongyang, May 31 (KCNA) -- Some days ago, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Forces in the Pacific blustered that the best way of deterring north Korea from developing nukes and missiles for striking the U.S. is to maintain strong combat capability and boost the ties with its allies.
    The "threats" much touted by the U.S. is nothing but an excuse to justify its hostile policy towards the DPRK and strategy for Asian domination and they are, in actuality, a product of a foolish intention to contain the potential rivals in the Asia-Pacific region and save the U.S. from its decline by beefing up its military forces and forming a military nexus for aggression, pursuant to the pivot to Asia-Pacific strategy.
    It is the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK and its pivot to Asia-Pacific strategy that pose grave threat to the DPRK and Asia and, furthermore, to global peace and security.
    The U.S. is pursuing a dangerous scenario to dominate the Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world by laying a siege to Russia and China and containing them with every possible means and method after occupying the whole of Korea.
    These hegemonic moves of the U.S. cannot but trigger off strong opposition and vigilance of the international community as they usher in the era of new worldwide confrontation and arms race.
    "North Korea's threats" noisily trumpeted about by the U.S. are aimed at misleading strong world criticism and justifying its moves for dominating the world.
    The U.S. seeks an ulterior aim to contain China which rapidly emerged an economic power in Asia and finally deter Russia from restoring the position as a power by hastening the reinforcement of military forces in the Asia-Pacific region and tightening the formation of military alliance with Japan and south Korea under the pretext of coping with the "threats".
    The U.S. is now finding itself in pretty fix due to its excessive spending of funds for war, vulnerable economic structure and the world trend of multi-polarization. It seeks a way out of it in establishing domination over the Asia-Pacific region which has rich resources and vast markets and gets strategically more important.
    This goes to prove that "north Korea's threats" are nothing but sophism reeled off by the U.S. to justify the military moves to contain the powers in the Asia-Pacific and get rid of its quagmire.
    The Washington Post on Jan. 14, 2002 disclosed the facts that the CIA designated Russia and China as potential rivals capable of challenging the U.S. interests as early as in the 1990s and later listed the DPRK as a "state posing threat" in a bid to find a justification for beefing up armed forces in Asia.
    No matter how frequently the U.S. cites "north Korea's threats" it can never conceal its hypocritical and criminal nature.
    The DPRK's nuclear force is means for just self-defence to protect the security of the country and the nation.
    It can never be a threat to any country unless it provokes the DPRK.
    The U.S. should stop trumpeting about "north Korea's threats" and halt unreasonable military actions threatening the DPRK and regional countries. -0-

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) ,the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and UK Preparatory Committee For the 2017 Gathering to Praise the Great Persons Born of Mt Paektu issued a joint statement in support of the statement of the Foreign Ministry  of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)with regard to the sanctions imposed by the European Union on the DPRK:
   The EU has announced severe and draconian sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea which virtually impose a trade embargo against the DPRK and prevent ships and planes of the DPRK from entering the territory of the European Union. The EU sanctions are a hostile act against the DPRK, as the statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry says " International laws, however stipulate that blockade-like sanctions against a sovereign state in peace time are an act of aggression and an illegal action."
   The imposition of the sanctions by the EU shows that the EU is not an independent entity but in fact closely follows the US and does whatever the US tells it to do.
  The EU counts amongst its members some nuclear powers that have stockpiles of nuclear weapons and also countries that have launched satellites. How can the EU impose sanctions on the DPRK for nuclear tests and satellite launches when their own member states are doing the same. There are no international laws that prohibit the DPRK from launching satellites or carrying out nuclear test. Indeed nuclear tests and satellite launches are the legitmate sovereign of the DPRK as they have been carried out on the DPRK's own territory. Therefore it is no concern of the EU whether the DPRK carries nuclear tests or launches satellites , still less a reason for the EU to impose harsh sanctions on the DPRK.
   As is well known the EU is rotten and corrupt , it is hated and rejected by the people's of its own member states ! The EU faces massive problems such as the Refugee crisis , unemployment , povertry and the potenital break-up of the EU itself due to member states leaving . The EU should resolve its problems before attempting to meddle in the affairs of others.
  The EU can never bring down the DPRK through sanctions or force it to "reform" and "open up ".  The DPRK does not need the imperialist banks and multi-nationals of the EU  !The Korean people led by great Chairman KIM JONG UN  smash the sanctions by upholding the great Juche idea and will heigthen the spirit of self-development  ! The Korean people will uphold the banner of Songun and the line of dual development of the nuclear force and economy in parallel.

DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman Raps EU "Sanctions" against DPRK

Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry on Monday gave the following answer to the question put by KCNA as regards the unreasonable EU "sanctions" against the DPRK:
    Recently the European Union announced a series of "additional sanctions" against the DPRK such as increasing the objects of "sanctions", banning the governmental aid to the trade with the DPRK and investment in a number of fields and prohibiting take-off and landing of its planes and their passage through territorial air and port calls of its ships in Europe.
    The EU slapped such "sanctions" against the DPRK under the absurd pretext that the DPRK's just exercise of sovereignty and self-defensive measures pose a "grave threat to the global peace and regional stability".
    The UN Charter and other international laws have no provision stipulating that either nuclear test or satellite launch poses a "threat to the global peace and security".
    If the DPRK's bolstering of its nuclear deterrence and space development for peaceful purposes pose threats, are the European countries' stockpiling and bolstering of nuclear weapons and ceaseless launching of satellites justified?
    International laws, however, stipulate that blockade-like sanctions against a sovereign state in peace time are an act of aggression and an illegal action.
    The EU "sanctions" are a copy of the U.S. independent "sanctions" faked up in violation of the UN Charter after the U.S. failed to railroad the total blockade against the DPRK through the UN Security Council.
    The reality proves that the EU is undisguisedly toeing the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK aimed to stifle it.
    The EU would be well advised to behave itself, drawing a lesson from the worst refugee crisis in history caused by its pursuance of the policy of the U.S. which toppled the sovereign states in the Mideast.
    The EU had better focus its efforts on settling its own complicated issues if it is unable to strive to ensure international justice and impartiality.
    The EU is sadly mistaken if it calculates it can lead the DPRK to changes through "sanctions." They will only help heighten the DPRK's spirit of self-development. -0-

Risky Military Provocation


South Korean belligerent force is persisting in its dangerous military provocations against north Korea, regardless of north Korea’s sincere efforts to make a turnaround in mending inter-Korean relationship.
On May 12, the south Korean army launched a naval firing exercise around five islets in the West Sea, trumpeting about “punishment against the provocation of north Korea.”
They fired hundreds of shells of self-propelled guns, multiple launch rocket system and other war hardware, creating a tense atmosphere.
Aegis destroyers belonging to the US Pacific Fleet and a destroyer and anti-submarine helicopter of the south Korean Navy, etc. were busy with combined naval maneuver from May 19 to 24.
The south Korean army fired rifles and artillery pieces at random in the southwestern waters of the West Sea under the pretext of coping with north Korea's "provocation".
The force of the 1st Corps of the south Korean army was staging combat hardware mobile and obstacle laying drills in Koyang, Paju and other areas in Gyeonggi Province from May 23 to 27, timed to coincide with the above-said war game.
The south Korean defense ministry made public that it is going to conduct large-scale anti-ballistic missile joint exercise together with the US and Japan under the pretext of coping with “threat of north Korea’s nuclear weapons and missiles” in June.
Frequent war rehearsals of the south Korean army are a perilous war provocation that dampen growing mood of national reconciliation and reunification zeal thanks to north Korea’s proposals of new reunification policy and escalate tension on the Korean Peninsula and surrounding areas.
On May 21, north Korea proposed to hold working-level contact for opening the north-south military authorities' talks to south Korea, the ruling conservative quarters flatly turned down north Korea’s initiative, clamoring about “denuclearization first” and “propaganda without sincerity”.
The south Korean conservative authorities should take the path of promoting inter-Korean reconciliation and unity, instead of pursuing policy driving the situation of the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war.

Imperishable exploits for Korea’s reunification

Kim Jong Un Makes Report on Work of WPK Central Committee at Its 7th Congress
Imperishable exploits for Koreas reunification
In his historic report on the review of the work of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea at its 7th Congress, supreme leader Kim Jong Un lavished praise on President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il who made great contributions to Korea’s reunification.
Whenever hurdles and difficulties lie in the way of national reunification owing to vicious obstruction of the anti-reunification elements within and without, President Kim Il Sung pulled through difficulties by advancing bold and reasonable proposals starting from the spirit of national independence. He remarkably enhanced the Korean nation’s reunification will with his ardent patriotism and lofty virtue and opened a heyday of nationwide movement for reunification, he noted.
The President, until his last moment of his revolutionary career, made public the ten-point program for the great unity of the whole nation and worked heart and soul to knit the Korean nation into a united force. He had initiated inter-Korean summit and exhausted every possibility to carry out it, he stated.
Chairman Kim Jong Il formulated the three principles of national reunification, the proposal for founding a Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo and the ten-point program for the great unity of the whole nation, all advanced by the President, as the three charters for Korea’s reunification and put forward outstanding ideas and lines including the five-point policy for great national unity to illuminate the road ahead of the Korean nation in its reunification movement, he noted.
Chairman Kim Jong Il had frustrated a new war move of the anti-reunification elements at home and abroad to lay a sure foundation for the country’s independent reunification by bolstering up the DPRK’s national power with his Songun politics.
The noble patriotic will for reunification of Chairman Kim Jong Il and his bold decision resulted in two rounds of north-south summit and the adoption of the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, its action program, guided by the idea of By Our Nation Itself, the first of their kind in the history of national division. This was an epochal event that provided a historic milestone for independent reunification and opened up a turning phase for national reunification, he noted.
Thanks to the wise guidance of the great leaders, the cause of national reunification could advance along the orbit of national independence for decades despite the complicated situation where the separatist forces at home and abroad got all the more frantic in their moves, and the driving force of national reunification could steadily grow stronger to prevail over the anti-reunification forces, he said.
All achievements won in the movement for national reunification during the past are brilliant victory of prominent idea of independent reunification and rational proposals put forward by President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il and proud fruition born of tireless guidance of the President and the Chairman, he stressed.

               London 29th of  May  Juche 104(2015)
The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) ,the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and UK Preparatory Committee For the 2017 Gathering to Praise the Great Persons Born of Mt Paektu issued a joint statement supporting the bolstering of the DPRK's nuclear deterrent and slamming the hypocrisy of Obama;
    Recently Obama, the US chief executive, slandered the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea at a meeting of the imperialist and capitalist G7 grouping . Obama spewed out nonsense about the so-called " provocation" of the DPRK and mouthed silly platitudes about a "world without nuclear weapons".
    Obama's hypocrisy increases by leaps and bounds . It is the US that holds the biggest stockpiles of nuclear weapons in the world. What is ironic is that Obama actually visited the place where the US first used nuclear weapons. How can Obama take issue with the DPRK's nuclear deterrent when it is the US that has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world many times over and was the first power to use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state and still refuses to commit to the "No first use " principle.
   The slogan of " a world without nuclear weapons " is just about the US forcing
other countries to give up or substantially reduce their nuclear deterrent while the US keeps its nuclear monopoly . It is 7 years since Obama first came out with the slogan of " a world without nuclear weapons" but in reality no progress has been made towards this. Obama shamelessly took issue with the DPRK's nuclear deterrent but this is purely self-defensive and was built up in response to the US nuclear threat to the DPRK which has existed for decades. If the US really wants to see denuclearisation on a world scale then it as the biggest possessor of nuclear weapons should dismantle its nuclear arsenal first.
   Our organisations are totally convinced that the DPRK is absolutely correct to
bolster its nuclear deterrent and to stick to the great revolutionary line of building the economy and nuclear force in parallel.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman on DPRK's Bolstering of Nuclear Force


    Pyongyang, May 28 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs Saturday gave the following answer to question put by KCNA as regards the fact that Obama pulled up the DPRK over its bolstering of nuclear force:
    With the recent G-7 Summit in Japan as an occasion, Obama repeatedly made remarks slandering the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
    He said the DPRK "commits such provocation as not only development of nuclear weapons but also their proliferation" and it is "the biggest obstacle to building a world without nuclear weapons ". He also criticized the DPRK's nuclear and ballistic missile programs as a "threat to the region, the U.S. and the world".
    The remarks are a revelation of his wicked intention to cover up the true colors of the U.S., a criminal that inflicted nuclear holocaust on mankind, and evade the world community's strong accusations against him persistently seeking a world domination based on nukes while making a mockery of the world with the deceptive signboard of "nuclear-free world".
    It is the height of shamelessness for Obama to talk about denuclearization in Japan where the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs.
    The plan for a "world without nuclear weapons", taken up by him after coming to power, was prompted by his intention to weaken other countries' military muscle while bolstering up the nuclear war means of the U.S.
    But, such cunning double-dealing tactics of the U.S. have faced a failure, being rejected by the world society.
    If the U.S. had been truly interested in the global denuclearization, it should have dismantled its nukes before others and stopped its nuclear threat and blackmail against other countries and nations.
    The U.S. expects nuclear dismantlement from the DPRK while persisting in its hostile policy toward the latter with a nuclear stick. This is no more than a daydream just like wishing for a chicken from a boiled egg.
    As already declared, the DPRK will bolster up its self-defensive nuclear force in quality and quantity, constantly holding fast to the strategic line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of nuclear force, as long as the imperialists continue their nuclear threat and arbitrary practices.
    It will also honestly implement its non-proliferation duty before the world society as a responsible nuclear weapons state and strive for the global denuclearization.
    No matter what false propaganda the U.S. may resort to, it can not deny the position of the DPRK, a nuclear weapons state for independence and justice. -0-

KCNA Commentary Slams S. Korean Minister of Unification's Confrontational Remarks

  Pyongyang, May 28 (KCNA) -- As already reported, the DPRK proposed the south Korean authorities through various occasions and channels to properly understand the strong will of Koreans to improve the inter-Korean relations and accomplish the national historic cause of independent reunification, and take a responsible and reasonable option at this crucial juncture.
    However, the south Korean conservative authorities are responding to the proposal with extremely provocative and ill-minded remarks, stirring up the atmosphere of confrontation.
    Hong Yong Phyo, minister of Unification, is taking the lead in the confrontation racket.
    All what he is uttering these days is nothing but ridiculous jargons made by a confrontation maniac bereft of elementary sense of reality and ability to judge things.
    It is the stark reality that voices calling for the resumption of the inter-Korean dialogue are heard from the U.S. and the neighboring countries and inside south Korea.
    Nevertheless, Hong is talking rubbish that "this is not a proper time for dialogue", sophism of an idiot.
    He went the lengths of taking issue with the DPRK's proposal for holding military talks between the north and the south, groundlessly terming it "one for evading the responsibility for nuclear development" and crying out for "breaking the north's will to develop nuclear weapons." This betrays his IQ as an under-wit as he is ignorant of what is going on in the world.
    Hence, Hong is talking volumes about leading the north to changes through sanctions whenever opportunity presents itself. This only betrays his true colors as a confrontation maniac and warmonger.
    It is very clear that the inter-Korean relations cannot but repeat an evil cycle as such guy having Cold War-way of thinking and confrontational posture as his inborn disposition holds the post of the minister of Unification.
    No sooner had Hong taken the above-said office than reeled off a litany of provocative remarks against the north only to come under strong public fire.
    At that time the public expressed concern over the fact that the prospect of the north-south relations would become gloomier as the foolish and impudent guy bereft of "ability" and "morality" became the minister of Unification and a member of the shock brigade of Chongwadae.
    No matter what desperate efforts Hong is making, talking gibberish, he can never stem the trend of times toward improved inter-Korean relations.
    The south Korean authorities had better behave themselves, judging with cool heads what tragic consequences will be entailed by their bat-blind act of refusing to accept the most fair and aboveboard and patriotic proposal of the DPRK. -0-

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK),the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) and the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) issued a statement today in support of the notice of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army(KPA) that was issued on Saturday 28th of May ;
    Our organisations , the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA , support the notice that was sent to the south Korean authorities by the  General  Staff of Korean People's Army. As disclosed earlier the south Korean puppets committed grave and intolerable provocations against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by firing on an unarmed ship. It was a premeditated  provocation aimed at instigating  a conflict in the tense region of the West Sea . The south Korean puppets even had war-planes on standby at Suwon. Such an action is a challenge to peace and a wanton violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK and cannot go unpunished .
    The General Staff of the KPA declare that firstly , the  south Korean puppets should apologise to the whole Korean nation . Secondly , that if the south Korean
puppets intrude even 0.001 millimetre into the DPRK then the KPA will open direct fire on any south Korean warship that violates its territory. Moreover
the KPA will launch a merciless retaliatory strike against the south Korean puppets.
   The stance expressed by the General Staff of the KPA is a just one , it is a revolutionary stand of countering the enemy's provocations without compromise or deflection.  The south Korean puppets will face annihilation by the arms of Songun if they do not heed the notice of the General Staff of the KPA.

    The south Korean puppet military gangsters on Friday 27th of May committed
grave acts of provocation against the Democratic People' Republic of Korea despite the fair-minded proposals of the DPRK for peace and reconciliation what is even more serious is that they even fired at an unarmed ship .
   The Crucial report of the KPA Supreme Command points out that "They started their premeditated military provocation by making three speedboats of the puppet navy's 2nd Fleet and a vessel of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries sail 6.4 km across the extension of the Military Demarcation Line in sea waters west of Paekryong Island and southwest of Yonphyong Island four times between 05;53 to 07;20.
    Our side gave several warnings, but they refused to withdraw their ships, asserting that they were on a routine duty in the waters under their control.
    Then they fired in succession 40 mm rocket gun shells
"
  Thus the south Korean puppets not fired upon non-combatant vessels but have
violated the sovereignty of the DPRK.
   Our organisations strongly condemn these massive provocations of the south Korean puppets. Actions speak louder than words and these actions prove that the south Korean puppets do not want peace.  The south Korean puppets should halt these actions and apoligise to the DPRK . It is the just right of the Korean
People's Army to launch retaliatory strikes.

KPA General Staff Sends Notice to S. Korean Authorities

 Pyongyang, May 28 (KCNA) -- As reported, the puppet military gangsters of south Korea sent many armed ships into the territorial waters of the DPRK from 5:53 on Friday to wait for a chance of provocation and then fired, without any prior warning, 40 mm rocket gun shells at an unarmed ferryboat of the Navy of the Korean People's Army, which was towing a boat.
    This reckless military provocation was evidently prompted by a premeditated sinister plot to bedevil the north-south relations and further aggravate the tension on the Korean peninsula.
    It is the wicked intention of the provokers to drive the situation of the hotspot in the West Sea of Korea to the worst phase by inciting the KPA to take a self-defensive counter-action against their escalated naval intrusion and reckless gunfire and then let the reactionary reptile media build up such wrong public opinion that the DPRK is chiefly responsible for "provocation" and "threat" and thus spoil the climate for dialogue between the north and the south.
    It is well proved by the fact that soon after the military provocation, the south Korean puppet military issued an order to put its combat air division based in Suwon on standby for emergency sortie, pushing the situation in the said waters to an unpredictable extreme phase.
    In this regard, the KPA General Staff on Saturday sent the following notice to the south Korean authorities who let the puppet military gangsters make a preemptive attack, defying the DPRK's good faith and magnanimity:
    Firstly, the backstage manipulators of the case should apologize to the entire nation for the puppet military gangsters' reckless military provocation.
    They will not escape a stern punishment by the nation as they invented the case and put it into practice to drive the situation in the volatile hotspot to the brink of explosion.
    Secondly, from now on we will open direct fire on any warship of the south Korean puppet forces without warning, if it intrudes into the extension of the Military Demarcation Line of our side even 0.001 mm in the hotspot of the west sea.
    The south Korean authorities are responding to our earnest call for dialogue with such reckless military standoff as naval intrusion and preemptive attack and to our efforts for detente with dangerous anti-DPRK war games. This action can never be pardoned.
    They should be mindful that they would face our merciless retaliatory strikes anytime and at any place and in any way for such provocative action as responding to the just efforts for dialogue with reckless military confrontation.
    If they dare challenge our self-defensive retaliatory strike, they will meet more powerful and successive counterattacks.
    The future developments depend on their behavior. -0-

KPA Supreme Command Releases Crucial Report

    Pyongyang, May 27 (KCNA) -- The Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army released the following crucial report on Friday:
    Today the south Korean puppet military gangsters committed such grave military provocation as intruding into the southwestern sea under our side's control and firing 40 mm rocket gun shells at our navy's ferryboat on a routine duty.
    They started their premeditated military provocation by making three speedboats of the puppet navy's 2nd Fleet and a vessel of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries sail 6.4 km across the extension of the Military Demarcation Line in sea waters west of Paekryong Island and southwest of Yonphyong Island four times between 05;53 to 07;20.
    Our side gave several warnings, but they refused to withdraw their ships, asserting that they were on a routine duty in the waters under their control.
    Then they fired in succession 40 mm rocket gun shells straight toward the ferryboat of our navy, which was pulling a wrecked boat in the waters under out side's control. The ferryboat is an unarmed vessel which is for mail delivery and liaison.
    This reckless military provocation is the revelation of the south Korean puppet group's vicious intention and hackneyed trick to inveigle our side into a provocation case by driving the situation to an extreme phase and then let the reactionary media mislead the public opinion with propaganda that the case was provoked by our side.
    The puppet military ran amuck to escalate the provocation, issuing an order to put its combat air division based in Suwon on standby for emergency sortie.
    After all, the situation in those waters is inching to the unpredictable extreme phase.
    Under the prevailing situation, the KPA units on the southwestern front are waiting for an order to launch an annihilating attack, ready for making retaliatory strikes. -0-

Quote from the great leader President KIM IL SUNG on the "European Common Market " (now the European Union)

"The imperialists pursue a policy of enslaving other countries economically by offering “aid” as bait and, further, of riding roughshod over the sovereignty of those countries. The “European Common Market”, the “integration of the world economy” and the like, loudly advertised by the imperialist powers today, all pursue the heinous, aggressive aims of strangling the economic independence of the newly independent states and subordinating these countries to their rule."

   Hiroshima is the place where the US first used atomic weapons on the 6th of August 1945 . Several hundres of thousands of people lost their lives including some Korean residents in Japan . It was a horrendous genocidial atrocity by the United States against a civilian population. Visiting Hiroshima is
a ghoulish act of hypocrisy by Obama.  As the Korean Central News Agency of the DPRK says " Obama's trip to the A-bombed city would not help hide the true colors of the U.S. as a country of nuclear war maniacs and nuke proliferators as it has stepped up the modernization of its nuclear weapons under the spurious mask of building a "world without nuclear weapons."
    Obama is seized with the wild ambition to dominate the world by dint of the U.S. nuclear edge only."

   The Japanese reactionaries want to use Obama's visit to Hiroshima to cover up their past as an aggressor nation and portray themselves as a victim nation.
    Our organisations totally condemn the plan of Obama to visit Hiroshima believing that it is an insult to those who died.

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) ,the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and UK Preparatory Committee For the 2017 Gathering to Praise the Great Persons Born of Mt Paektu issued a joint statement in support of the letter  to the  UN  Secretary General sent by the DPRK permanent representative at the UN :
  The Permanent Representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) at the United Nations  has sent a letter to the UN Secretary General which  correctly challenges and calls into question the legal basis for the UNSC sanctions against the DPRK which have been repeatedly imposed since 2006 culminating in resolution 2270(S/RES/2270) in March this year .
  The letter asks "The first question is on what is the legal ground for determining the DPRK's nuclear tests and satellite and ballistic rocket launches as a "threat to international peace and security" in the UN Security Council "sanctions resolutions".
Nowhere in related international laws including the UN Charter, the UN General Assembly resolutions, the CTBT, the NPT, the Outer Space Treaty, etc. can we find a single provision that nuclear tests are determined as a "threat to international peace and security".
The second question is why the UN Security Council has never made an issue of nor enforced any sanctions on the United States and other countries regarding their nuclear tests made over 2 000 times, ongoing regular satellite and ballistic rocket launches, if any nuclear test or satellite or ballistic rocket launch is considered as a "threat to international peace and security".
The plain and simple fact of the matter is that  there is no legal basis for the sanctions against the DPRK. Our organistations believe that it is a diabolic outrage that the UN Security Council have imposed so -called 'additional sanctions' on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea  for the mere fact that it refused to submit to the world dictatorship of the US and exercised its sovereignty by launching a satellite and conducting a self defensive H bomb test. These sanctions are a declaration of war and a negation of the DPRK's sovereignty .
   The sanctions are truly unjust and extreme as they include sanctions on the DPRK National Aerospace Development Administration, which is a civilian space agency . This is unprecedented in the history of the UN. These sanctions are a mean attempt by the US and its cohorts to put a spoke in the wheel of socialist construction in the DPRK and stifle the socialist system of the DPRK. 
The UN Security Council should either prove the legal basis for the sanctions or revoke unconditionally. Otherwise the UNSC will be cursed by the world people as a puppet, a marionette of the US, devoid of impatriality . Our organisations strongly support the letter  and demand that the sanctions are lifted at once.

KCNA Commentary Terms Obama's Planned Visit to Hiroshima Clumsy Diplomacy

   Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- It was reported that U.S. President Obama would visit Hiroshima over which the world's first nuclear bomb was dropped.
    It is the first time that the sitting American president will visit the city where hundreds of thousands of people were killed by an A-bomb during the Second World War.
    The objective sought by Obama through his junket to Hiroshima to be made before the end of his office is to leave his initiative to build a "world without nuclear weapons" as his political legacy and confirm the alliance favorable to Washington's implementation of the "Asia-Pacific rebalancing" strategy by attracting Japan.
    Japan on its part seeks the aim of not missing this opportunity to evade its responsibility for redeeming its past by improving its image as a "war victim country" as it is always cold-shouldered by the international community for its inglorious past.
    The above-said event cannot but be viewed as diplomacy of the U.S. and the Japanese authorities seeking different purposes, prompted by their mean political calculation.
    Obama's trip to the A-bombed city would not help hide the true colors of the U.S. as a country of nuclear war maniacs and nuke proliferators as it has stepped up the modernization of its nuclear weapons under the spurious mask of building a "world without nuclear weapons."
    Obama is seized with the wild ambition to dominate the world by dint of the U.S. nuclear edge only.
    The U.S. in its "quadrennial defense strategy review report" mapped out in 2010 adopted it as a policy to ensure the unilateral edge of its nuclear force under the signboard of "nuclear disarmament" by underlining the need to maintain its nuclear arsenal till the goal of building a "world without nuclear weapons" is attained.
    The U.S. has misled the public opinion by creating impression that the "nuclear threat" from the DPRK is the biggest problem facing the international community, far from reflecting on the worst nuclear crimes it committed by having threatened humankind with nuclear weapons for decades.
    Wendy Sherman, former parliamentary undersecretary of the U.S. Department of State, asserted that Washington and Tokyo should make efforts to remain true to their commitment to ensuring peace despite nuclear threat from north Korea with Obama's Hiroshima visit as a momentum.
    The U.S. is trumpeting about someone's "nuclear threat" and "a world without nuclear weapons" though it has desperately worked to throw the Korean peninsula and other parts of the world into shambles of a thermonuclear war any moment by modernizing its nuclear weapons and blackmailing others with those weapons. This is the height of hypocrisy and impudence.
    What the survivors of the A-bomb disasters in Japan want to hear from Obama is nothing but the answer to the question as to whether he can completely eliminate the nuclear weapons in the world or not
    Japan's ulterior design should never be overlooked.
    Through Obama's visit to Hiroshima Japan seeks to put under carpet its true colors as a provocateur of the war and aggressor and go with impunity despite its past crimes by stirring up the "feelings of war victims" among its people and giving the international community a strong impression that it is a "war victim."
    Such clumsy political calculation of the U.S. and Japan will only result in heightened vigilance of the international community. -0-

KCNA Commentary on Validity of DPRK's Access to Nuclear Weapons


    Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- The international community is becoming vocal supporting the validity of the DPRK's access to nuclear weapons for self-defence.
    It is the comment of public opinion that the DPRK's access to nukes is obviously aimed to hold in check any aggression and military attack and concentrate efforts on economic construction and it is a stark reality that the U.S. dares not make a preemptive attack on the DPRK.
    Valery Lashkin, deputy to the State Duma of Russia who doubles as vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, referred to the will of the DPRK manifested at the Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea to adhere to the validity of its stand and hold dialogue with all countries having no intent to invade it, adding that its leadership is meeting the challenges against its sovereignty in the most proper manner.
    Sergei Chernyakhovski, Prof. and Dr. of the Political Faculty of Moscow State University, said:
    When one looks back on the history of the DPRK without prejudice and compares what happened in the past with the present politics, one can come to an easy conclusion that it is the most peace-loving country in the world.
    It is the country that neither fought with other countries nor got involved in any military dispute among countries sharing border with it after the war in the 1950s.
    It was clarified at the recent Party Congress that the DPRK would not be the first to use nuclear weapons unless it is invaded. This is a very just position as it is nothing surprising.
    It is a very simple logic that if a country has access to nukes and is not ready to use them, it is bound to go to ruin.
    The DPRK is the country from which we can learn a lot, indeed.
    The Swiss internet magazine Le Grand said:
    There is a clear intention and reason for north Korea to push ahead with the development of nuclear weapons and experts clearly recognize the fact that the DPRK poses no "threat."
    North Korea laid down the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts to cope with the U.S. north Korea policy and is preventing any aggression and attack with its creditable nuclear deterrence and diverting the expenses and resources for the service personnel on the frontline units and huge artillery force to economic construction by drastically cutting down their number.
    The hawks of the West, the ultra-right forces of Japan, in particular, are dreaming of their access to nukes under the pretext of "nuclear threat" from north Korea, and the U.S. is seeking to establish a new MD system in south Korea capable of neutralizing China, not aimed at containing north Korea under that pretext.
    Some countries may underestimate north Korea's recent declaration not to mount a preemptive nuclear attack but there is need for them to take note of the fact that the history of nuclear deterrence started with such declaration and this promise has been kept.
    As commented by world public, the DPRK's access to nuclear weapons is the most just choice in the present world where a weak country can never protect itself.
    The DPRK will never dismantle its nuclear weapons first unless the U.S. rolls back its hostile policy toward the former and defuses its nuclear threat fundamentally.
    It will bolster its nuclear deterrence both in quality and quantity to firmly protect its sovereignty as long as the U.S. persists in nuclear threat and hostile policy. -0-

               London 23rd of  May  Juche 104(2015)
The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) ,the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and UK Preparatory Committee For the 2017 Gathering to Praise the Great Persons Born of Mt Paektu issued a joint statement in support of the statement of The Policy Department of the National Defence Commission (NDC) of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) issued on the 24th of May ;
   The  Policy Department of the National Defence Commission (NDC) of the DPRK on the 24th of May issued a statement calling for the US to finally and belatedly roll back its highly reactionary and anachronistic hostile policy towards the DPRK . For decades , in fact some 71 years , the US has attempted to deny the existence of the DPRK and carried out all sorts of schemes to destroy, stifle or undermine the DPRK . Throughout its existence the DPRK has faced direct aggression from the US including the 3 year long Korean War as well as sanctions and blockades. Now the US is openly talking about their plan to stage the U.S.-Japan-south Korea joint drills under the simulated conditions of an actual war for coping with the "threat" from the DPRK's ballistic missiles for the first time in history as part of the scheduled large-scale RIMPAC exercise. The  US is also engaged in double dealing.
   The Policy Department of the DPRK NDC makes it clear first of all that the US anti -DPRK policy does not square with the present day reality in which the US has lost the monopoly of nuclear threat that it had in the 1950s. The DPRK now possess Atomic and Hydrogen bombs and the means to deliver them.  Secondly, the US has no real understanding of the DPRK which has survived 71 years of DPRK-US confrontation emerging as the victor in the war without gunshots against the US. Thirdly, the US faces ruin if it persists with the anti-DPRK policy.
    The DPRK NDC policy department statement basically serves as a final warning to the US to reverse its wrong and reactionary policies towards the DPRK or face its ultimate doom at the hands of Songun Korea.
   Our organisations support this final warning of Songun Korea and call for the
US to finally end its criminal vendetta against the DPRK and reverse its hostile policy.

US, the chief criminal of Gwangju massacre


Members of the Korea Solidarity for Independent Reunification and Democracy in south Korea held rally before the White House on May 18 together with the Association for Supporting Prisoners of Conscience of the Family Movement for Realizing Democracy in the US.
The participants observed a moment's silence in memory of the Gwangju uprisers who laid down their lives in the fight for independence and democracy against the fascist military dictatorship.
At the rally speakers said that 36 years have elapsed since the Gwangju uprising and accused Chun Doo-hwan, the ringleader of manslaughter, of denying the brutal massacre of resistance fighters, far from apologizing for it.
In order to embellish the history of autocracy, the south Korean chief executive has distorted the history textbook to belittle the spirit of Gwangju popular uprising, they denounced.
What we should not forget is the fact that the US was behind the massacre in Gwangju because it was impossible to mobilize armed forces without the US approval at that time, they noted, adding: Though it was disclosed that the US approved the military involvement before the massacre, the US has still denied it.
They disclosed that the US conducted experiments on anthrax and botulinus germ as well as Zika virus and the US is going to make its military bases for biochemical warfare.
The US troops in south Korea have committed innumerable crimes in south Korea and the Gwangju massacre is one of them, they added, the south Korea authorities have winked at the GIs’ crimes.
They demanded the withdrawal of the US troops from south Korea.
A statement was read out.
It said the organizations in south Korea and abroad would intensify actions against the US and war.


Letter Sent to UN Secretary General

The permanent representative of the DPRK at the UN sent a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon on May 23.
The letter said:
I write to kindly request the viewpoints of Your Excellency, the UN Secretary General, believing that there is a serious legal contradiction in the "sanctions resolutions" in which the UN Security Council has determined the nuclear tests and peaceful satellite launches conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the DPRK as a "threat to international peace and security".
The UN Security Council has so far adopted resolution 1718(S/RES/1718), resolution 1874(S/RES/1874), resolution 2094(S/RES/2094) and resolution 2270(S/RES/2270) in 2006, 2009, 2013 and 2016 regarding the first, second and third nuclear test and the first hydrogen bomb test respectively.
The issue here is pp9 and op 1 of resolution 1718, pp8 of resolution 1874, pp7 of resolution 2094 and pp11 of resolution 2270 which have determined the nuclear tests and satellite launches of the DPRK as a "threat to international peace and security". In this regard, I hereby would like to raise the following questions.
The first question is on what is the legal ground for determining the DPRK's nuclear tests and satellite and ballistic rocket launches as a "threat to international peace and security" in the UN Security Council "sanctions resolutions".
Nowhere in related international laws including the UN Charter, the UN General Assembly resolutions, the CTBT, the NPT, the Outer Space Treaty, etc. can we find a single provision that nuclear tests are determined as a "threat to international peace and security".
The second question is why the UN Security Council has never made an issue of nor enforced any sanctions on the United States and other countries regarding their nuclear tests made over 2 000 times, ongoing regular satellite and ballistic rocket launches, if any nuclear test or satellite or ballistic rocket launch is considered as a "threat to international peace and security".
Third, in case of no convincing legal clarification is given on the above questions, it will be concluded that the UN Security Council has gone beyond powers, lost impartiality which is vital for international organizations and committed an act of double standard, by behaving trickily with the application of the article 39 Chapter 7 the UN Charter which stipulates that the UN Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to international peace and security before taking any action on sanctions.
I look forward to receiving a reply of legal clarification from the UN Secretariat.

NDC Policy Department Urges U.S. to Roll back Its Anachronistic Hostile Policy toward DPRK

  Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- The U.S. which has imposed misfortune and pain upon the Korean people for the last several decades should roll back its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK which ranked itself among the advanced nuclear powers, facing up to the latter's strategic position and the trend of the times.
    The Policy Department of the National Defence Commission (NDC) of the DPRK demanded this in a statement issued on Wednesday.
    The above-said principled stand of the DPRK represents the thunder of justice heralding the final ruin of the U.S. and the final warning by Songun Korea, it noted, and went on:
    The U.S. is not aware of its impending miserable end, still seized with an anachronistic Cold War-minded way of thinking.
    Odd views that in any case it is impossible to change the principle of "north Korea's denuclearization first and halt to the pressure on it next" are heard from the U.S. political camp including the White House to mislead the public opinion. And a litany of such provocative invectives that "a switchover in the U.S. government's policy towards north Korea entirely hinges on its changes" is reeled off.
    The warmongers of the Pentagon are openly talking about their plan to stage the U.S.-Japan-south Korea joint drills under the simulated conditions of an actual war for coping with the "threat" from the DPRK's ballistic missiles for the first time in history as part of the scheduled large-scale RIMPAC exercises.
    The cunning U.S. is taking such double-dealing attitude as hurling the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops present in south Korea under the mask of "UN force" into the Military Demarcation Line in Panmunjom for the farce of "informing" over loudspeaker the KPA side of its wish to restore the severed DPRK-U.S. military hotline and resume contact, afraid of punishment in case it turns down the DPRK's principled demand.
    The statement clarified once again that the hostile policy persistently pursued by the U.S. towards the DPRK is a product of its anachronistic and unreasonable one lacking understanding and self-ruinous policy.
    The first reason is that the above-said policy is a product of the anachronistic dream as it is insisting on its unilateral brigandish demand, disregarding the changed reality and the trend of the times.
    Early in the 1950s, the U.S. invaded the north, brandishing A-bomb against rifle but it is standing against the irresistible entity possessed of even tremendous H-bomb called "absolute weapon" on our planet at present.
    Tragedy is that the U.S. is ignoring not only the changed reality but the trend of the times.
    The longer the U.S. is carried away by the hallucination of aggression and war, disregarding the worldwide trend, and the more reckless moves it pursues to isolate and stifle the DPRK, the bitterer disgrace it will suffer and the dearer price it will have to pay.
    The second reason is that the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK is a product of ignorance based on the theory of the jungle law bereft of any elementary understanding of its rival.
    The DPRK-U.S. confrontation has lasted for 71 years amid an extreme hostility.
    But the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK remains unchanged as it has been consistently pursued by the most hostile and outrageous methods.
    The U.S would be well advised to realize that it is the best way of escaping the nightmare and misfortune to properly understand who its rival is, though belatedly, recognize the reality, though painful, and reshape its foolish Korea policy.
    The third reason is that the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK is a product of a self-ruinous policy as it only precipitates its most miserable final doom by itself.
    The history of the DPRK-U.S. confrontation clearly records the immutable law that certain victory is the tradition of Songun Korea and the brigandish U.S. is fated to sustain a defeat.
    The U.S. should foresee what the DPRK-U.S. relations will be in future in case it insists on its hostile policy toward the DPRK in the light of the past and present realities.
    For the U.S. to roll back its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK as early as possible, though belatedly, would only offer it an opportunity of escaping a miserable fate. -0-

Strangler of Democracy



The Park Chung Hee-led military gangsters grabbed power through the May 16 military coup, 55 years ago.
At that time, south Koreans desire to live in a democratic society free from foreign force and fascist autocracy was stronger.       
In 1960, the south Korean people eventually overthrown the Syngman Rhee dictatorial regime through the April uprising against the US military presence in and colonial domination over south Korea. 
The May 16 military coup staged by the Park Chung-hee military fascist junta under the wire-pulling of Washington was an unpardonable criminal case aimed at stamping out blooming democracy in south Korea after the April 19 popular uprising and wresting power.  
The despotism of Park Chung-hee was a great tragedy that sunk south Korea to a theater of fascism, desert of human rights and democracy.
Park declared anti-communism as a primary state policy and manufactured more than 2 000 evil fascist laws including the anti-communism law. He set up the south Korean Central Intelligence Agency, one of fascist suppression tool, to turn south Korea as various kind of information network and stopped the ears and mouths of the south Koreans.   
He, not contented with it, dissolved parliament at the point of bayonet in October 1972 to take the reins of authority including executive, legislative and judicial powers, neglecting segregation of powers that had been existing as the yusin constitution for forms sake.   
South Korea was reduced into a desolate wasteland in which politics, democracy, human rights and press turned to dust and ashes.
Due to frequent proclamation of martial, garrison law and contingency, month of counter-espionage, crime prevention and exposure of disturbing elements, the south Koreans had to live in constant fear.    
To keep his fascist regime he terrorized everyone who is impedimental to the yusin autocracy. In the long run, he met a violent death by his one of confidants, the director the Central Intelligence Agency.
Though much water has flown under the bridge since the demise of the yusin despotism, now the south Koreans suffer misfortune and pain by the reckless political suppression of sitting chief executive and unheard-of violation of democracy reminiscent of the past yusin dictatorship.   
 The south Korean chief executive has reorganized all fascist machineries yusin despotism in the past. She has branded the progressive democratic forces demanding independence, democracy and reunification as enemy-benefiting and pro-north forces, and harshly quelled the people requesting their right to live.  
The current situation shows to build a new society free from foreign force and fascist monocracy, the long-cherished desire of the south Koreans, they should overthrow fascist tyranny regime by concerted efforts of themselves.

Ministry of People's Armed Forces Again Sends Notice to South Side's Military Authorities

  Pyongyang, May 24 (KCNA) -- The Ministry of the People's Armed Forces of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK sent a notice to the south side's military authorities on May 21, proposing holding a working-level contact for opening the north-south military authorities' talks.
    It was the proposal of the Korean People's Army to ensure durable peace and security on the Korean peninsula at an early date, true to the noble intention of the Workers' Party of Korea to solve all the issues through dialogue and negotiations such as practical step for defusing military tension and the danger of clash between the north and the south.
    However, the south side's military authorities are giving impression that the situation on the peninsula remains tense due to the self-defensive measure taken by the DPRK including the step for bolstering the nuclear force and spreading such absurd assertion that the DPRK's proposal for dialogue is aimed to weaken international cooperation for "sanctions against the north" and create "discord in the south", far from actively responding to the broadminded proposal. They are even making such provocative remarks that "precedence should be given to denuclearization", chilling the desire of all Koreans to open a broad avenue to the improvement of inter-Korean relations through national reconciliation and unity.
    The service personnel and people of the DPRK remain unchanged in their will to settle the present catastrophic inter-Korean relations through dialogue and negotiations, not by military standoff and clash.
    For this reason the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces of the DPRK sent again the following notice to the south side's military authorities Tuesday:
    The purpose of the military authorities' talks is not to call in question what is the principal reason for creating the military tensions on the Korean peninsula and who is to blame for them.
    The opening of the inter-Korean military authorities' talks reflects all Koreans' expectation and desire for immediate discussion and solution to pressing issues such as the danger of military clashes along the Military Demarcation Line and in the hotspot of the West Sea which may spark physical confrontation right now.
    A spark of clash is bound to spill over to a war between the north and the south and it is the Korean nation who will fall victim to it.
    Nothing can be a prerequisite or excuse for denying dialogue and shunning negotiations, the best way of settling all issues.
    To refuse to meet, misusing an important issue decisive of the rise and fall of the Korean nation for achieving an absurd political purpose, is nothing but a far-fetched assertion that convinces no one.
    The DPRK remains unchanged in its stand to hold a working-level contact for opening the north-south military authorities' talks late in May or early in June.
    The south Korean authorities should immediately respond to the DPRK's proposal for ensuring peace of the country and security of the nation by deescalating the acute military tensions between the north and the south. -0-

Reply to the Critics of Juche and the UK KFA ,the Juche Idea Study Group of England and Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK

                                                            


A most scurrilous ,mendacious and defamatory attack has been made on UK KFA , the Juche Idea Study Group and its chairman by the website "Red Youth " under the ludicrous title "Fight Flunkeyism !" . They do not even know what flunkeyism means  ! Flunkeyism means sycophancy and subservience towards big powers  (such as the US , Japan , China , Russia and other big countries)  .Comrade KIM JONG IL ,explained that " The struggle to establish Juche and oppose flunkeyism towards big powers"  is a key task How on earth can the JISGE, UK KFA and ASSPUK which uphold Juche be flunkeyists ? Surely the only flunkeyist organisations in the UK are those that continually praise China and Russia(or the US for that matter ) and make excuses for Chinese revisionism and the capitalist regime in Russia that have actually imposes sanctions against People's Korea at the behest of US imperialism.  Our organisations condemned the Chinese sanctions(and the EU and UK ones) against the DPRK but our critics in a certain party tried to hide the fact from their own members that the PRC had not only voted in the UNSC for the sanctions but were imposing them. We ask who are the ones acting as flunkeys and indeed puppets and agents of a big power?
     We did not indulge a "secretive email correspondence" (whatever that really means) but simply took issue with some low level members of a particular party,the CPGBML, making anti-Juche videos. An attack on the Juche idea and Songun idea, which are defined in the constitution of the DPRK as the guiding ideology of the DPRK  is an attack on the DPRK . It is our duty to expose such attacks on the DPRK and also inform comrades that we are working with of such anti- Juche, anti-DPRK, anti-socialist slander as well as those who impede our work  . If we did not we would be failing in our duty. In fact we did publish several refutations on facebook of the tendentious rubbish including the one below;

Well fellow Juche Idea followers and comrades this week has seen some attacks on the Juche idea by certain elements . Shaun Pickford has answered some of these on his own page and also come under attack for defending the Juche Idea . Some people claim that they showing so-called "critical solidarity " with the DPRK. However the DPRK in its constitution and the key documents of the party and state defines the Juche idea and Songun idea as the guiding ideology ,therefore the constant sniping at Juche is basically being anti- DPRK . It aids US imperialism and world imperialism in their ideological offensive against the DPRK , the homeland of Juche. The Juche idea is the most anti-imperialist idea and a weapon for the world revolutionary peoples.
Those of us with a long memory can remember the wealthy Trotskyist Jon Halliday ( married to a Chinese dissident and anti-communist ) writing a number of profoundly anti-DPRK articles and essays but claimed he was giving " critical solidarity " to the DPRK . How does the approach of certain people differ from the likes of Halliday ?
We can also remember how some people who had worshipped the USSR , Hungary , Poland etc and had also supported 'perestroika' to the end , used to flick through DPRK publications trying to find fault and quoting sentences out of context with grunts of " they cannot say that " and "wor this is dodgy " . These people never had a problem with anything the Soviet Union did but a small East Asian country like the DPRK was seen as needing close scrutiny etc. Sadly we are seeing this nitpicking approach been taken again !
The so-called " criticism " of Juche has been based on spurious arguments and distortions . It is has been claimed that Juche is not class based . This is nonsense in my recent discussions with Professor Kim Chang Gyong of the Korean Association of Social Scientists he made it clear that the Juche Idea and Songun idea are class based ideas , they are revolutionary ideas of the working class . KIM JONG IL pointed out that "The remoulding of man’s ideology is a far-reaching revolution. It is a struggle to eliminate the remnants of the old society in the sphere of man’s ideology for good and arm all the working people with the progressive idea of the working class, the communist idea. It constitutes the basic form of class struggle in socialist society where the exploiting classes have been liquidated" Juche is profoundly very anti-revisionist as KIM JONG IL says "By laying down the principle of creatively approaching the existing theories and experiences, the Juche idea makes it possible to apply and develop the preceding revolutionary theories to suit the requirements of revolutionary practice in our time. In particular, it maintains the position of firmly defending and realizing the independence of the working class and other working masses, and thus makes it possible to accurately identify and eliminate all kinds of opportunism, including revisionism which gives up the cause of revolution halfway or denies class struggle, and uphold the class principle and the spirit of uninterrupted revolution in the revolutionary theories of the working class."
It is also claimed that Juche rejected Marxism Leninism and dialectical materialism but no where does either KIM IL SUNG , KIM JONG IL or KIM JONG UN say " we reject dialectical materialism " , nowhere . Some people have twisted quotations out of context. In fact KIM JONG IL pointed out "The theoretical activities of our Party that has originally clarified revolutionary principles and ways to meet the demands raised by the revolutionary practice of our time, constitute a brilliant example in adhering to the revolutionary principles of Marxism-Leninism and developing the revolutionary theory of the working class onto a new, higher plane."
It is also claimed that Juche is "idealist " . Idealism in philosophy means that the idea the world is controlled by a supernatural force standing outside of it . However Juche asserts that Man is the master and decides everything , which is the complete opposite of idealism .
As to the charges of revisionism . We all know that revisionism destroys socialist countries and communist and workers parties both ruling and non ruling . If Juche is revisionist why hasn't the DPRK collapsed ? How could it survive both internal revisionism plus the hostility of the US and south Korea and the pressure of China ? In fact the DPRK is the only country standing up to US imperialism maintaining a staunch anti-imperialist stand and adhering to socialist principles . This is thanks to the Juche idea .
This will be our last word on the subject.

  Some people even though their arguments had been torn to shreds continued arguing and  resorted to personal insults against the secretary general of the JISGE(even attacking him for being of working class origin ) . Now that is malicious and cowardly !
     Our organisations , the Association for the Study of Songun Politics  UK , the Juche Idea Study of England and the UK Korean Friendship Association are the only organisations in the UK that support the Juche Idea and Songun idea  and study them actively.
   We are the only organisations to hold pickets of the US and south Korean puppet embassies. Since 2009 we have held over 12 pickets of the US and south Korean embassies. Footage of one of our pickets is included in a video of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea. One of our pickets was harassed by the "NK News " (CIA front) reporters and also a so-called "defector " 'Joo Il Kim' .
                                      
Solidarity the hard way !

  Our record of work is impressive. Since the beginning of April , we have held one public meeting and seminar , 2 regional meetings , 1 Sunday afternoon seminar  and a skype meeting . We have issued over 40  statements  including ones attacking UK and EU Sanctions against the DPRK and on the expulsion (our critics have been silent on this matter) . Many of our statements are carried on KCNA.  We have published the book " Songun Politics A Revolutionary Anti Imperialist Form of Politics Suited to the Demands of the 21st century " and published  a  2nd edition of "In Defence of Songun " . We have written several articles  as well.Some of our articles have been carried on the website of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea. A delegation from our organisations visited Pyongyang during April. What did our opponents do during that period , absolutely nothing !(except to go to a reception at the DPRK Embassy ). 
                                  
just a few of our excellent publications
                      

   Moreover when the DPRK took the resolute and decisive measure against the modern factionalist clique in December 2013 our organisations were amongst the first to support it and defended the actions of the DPRK. Our critics in Red Youth and CPGBML maintained a deafening silence on the issue ,we wonder why?
      Our record speaks for itself. Some members of UK KFA, the JISGE and UK KFA point out that is very easy to say "Long live the DPRK " with a glass of wine in your hand at the DPRK embassy but the real test is to defend the DPRK outside the Yankee imperialist embassy and the south Korean fascist puppet embassy ! We have received no support for our activities from the leadership of the CPGBML and Red Youth and now we see the truth in black and white that they actually oppose our activities !
   Dr Dermot Hudson who is the principal target of abuse and slander in the Red Youth article was actually attacked in the media and  victimised in his former job for his consistent work in support of the DPRK and Juche and forced to take early retirement on a poverty level pension . So far our detractors have not suffered victimisation ,largely because they do not anything.
   Our record of work is indeed a long one . The Juche Idea Study Group of England was founded  in Hampshire in 1985 and re founded in 1990. Since the foundation of the group our members have visited the DPRK many times and participated in different international events for the study of the Juche Idea including the World Juche Congress in April 2012. In the 1990s when the imperialists and reactionaries were spreading lies about "starvation " and "famine " the Juche Idea Study Group of England , issued a statement  against these lies and we the only organisation in the UK to do so(years later we published " Behind the Mirror of Lies -The Truth About the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ") . The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK  was founded in 2003 to promote the Songun idea . The ASSPUK has established close links with Songun idea followers in other lands and is represented on the International Committee For the Study of Songun Politics.
                                                       

   Members of the JISGE welcomed the formation of  Korean Friendship Association (KFA) in December and worked to establish the UK Korean Friendship Association as part of KFA .  The KFA upholds the militant slogan  " Defend the D P R Korea " Today KFA is acknowledged by friend and foe is the sword and shield of the DPRK in the world, defending the DPRK day in day out  24/7 .The work done by KFA President Alejandro Cao De Benos is superb. KFA now has well over  15,000 members worldwide and is actually in terms of registered members the biggest DPRK  friendship and solidarity body in the UK. Rather than attack and criticise UK KFA , CPGBML and Red Youth should be supporting us 100% and 1000% !
  The  Red Youth article betrays the fact they are really hostile to the Juche Idea and basically take issue with us for portraying the DPRK an independent ,self reliant and Juche -based socialist state. The publications of the CPGBML rarely if at all mention Juche or self-reliance nor is the self-development first idea of  chairman KIM JONG UN mentioned.
                                                   

    The DPRK a not creation of either the Soviet Union or China or both or that socialism in the DPRK is the gift of another country. In fact to imply such a thing as our critics is not much different to right wing reactionary anti-communist propaganda  which talks the supreme revolutionary leadership in Korea being "installed  by the Russians" (for example Rupert Murdoch's  Sky News of the 4th of April 2013 "Korea - a history of the north -south split ) . It would appear that rightist and "leftist " critics of Juche agree on one thing. Red Youth by publishing a picture of Soviet troops in Korea and ignoring the 15 year long anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle waged  under the leadership of great generalissimo KIM IL SUNG  Red Youth promotes what are very right wing stereotypes of Korea's history. Our critics actually insult the memory of those anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters who fell in the battles against Japanese imperialism in order to liberate Korea. Red Youth, Lalkar and co conveniently forgot or are unaware of the fact that the USSR only declared 
war on Japan on the 8th of August 1945 some 7 days before Korea was liberated(the USSR had previously concluded a neutrality pact with Japan on the 13th of April 1941). The Anti -Japanese People's Guerrilla Army, later Korean People's Revolutionary Army(KPRA) had fought the Japanese imperialists since 1932 . It had fought battles at Pochonbo , Musan and Taehongdan. During the final phases of the operation to liberate Korea in August 1945 units of the KPRA and local People's Armed Corps liberated towns such as Rajin.
   We are berated over the issue of the supply of weapons to the DPRK during the Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialists. Again our opponents are falling into the trap of repeating imperialist cold war narratives about  "Soviet expansionism " and "southward advance ".The book "KIM JONG IL Day of Having Korea Reunified " by Kim Myong Chol(Pyongyang  2003) says of the USSR "...Not only that; during the Korean War, it delayed its support to north Korea of ammunition and other weapons"(p52).  The DPRK's refutation of the false claims of the US about the Korean War "US Distortion of the Provocation of the Korean War "(Pyongyang 2003) states "To say that the Soviet Union, which had refrained from taking the opportunity of advancing as far as the southern tip of the Korean peninsula without difficulty when fighting against Japan during the Second World War, attempted to expand the communist sphere in Korea was completely illogical. It is widely known that around 1950 the Soviet Union was reluctant to fight against the United States and devoted its main effort to solving domestic problems without being involved in the United States’war machinations as far as possible,and that during the war the Soviet Union hesitated to support north Korea." Visiting the DPRK in 2008 we told by a Professor of the Korean Association of Social Scientists that the DPRK had not been supplied with enough weapons in a timely manner by the USSR during the Fatherland Liberation War  and for this reason and others the DPRK had learnt not to depend on others.
   The DPRK led by President KIM IL SUNG and guided by the Juche idea hewed out a most rugged , independent and self-reliant course. The DPRK refused to join the CMEA and instead built an independent national economy. President KIM IL SUNG defeated the agents of big -power chaunvinism and revisionism who tried to overthrow the leadership in August 1956. Some flunkeyist blockheads,who absolutise the DPRK-PRC relationship, are unaware that it was not just the pro-Soviet faction that was defeated and purged but the pro-Chinese or Yanan faction was also purged in 1956. The capitulationist behaviour of the USSR during the Cuban Missile crisis of 1962 reaffirmed the conviction of President KIM IL SUNG that the DPRK could not rely on anyone else for their defence so the DPRK opted for the line of building the economy and defence in parallel -a line continued today at a higher level, building the economy and nuclear force in parallel, by respected Chairman KIM JONG UN. The WPK and DPRK strongly opposed modern revisionism and Left opportunism. Guided by President KIM IL SUNG the DPRK took a number of independent ,militant and anti-imperialist actions such as the shootdown of the EC121 , which were disapproved of by the modern revisionists. Some academic commentators in the West have said that the WPK's strategy for the south Korean revolution and the liberation of south Korea was opposed by both the Soviet modern revisionists and the Chinese . President KIM IL SUNG warned against those who put up showy slogans about fighting imperialism but did little or nothing in practice to fight imperialism.
  In the 21st century the DPRK has continued the line of total independence and Juche . It has carried out nuclear tests, missile tests as well as launching artificial satellites in defiance of the US imperialists , the UNSC and also the big powers China and Russia. The DPRK also rejected "reform " and "opening up" that was touted by the imperialists and their acolytes as well the big power chauvinists. We in the ASSPUK, Juche Idea Study Group of England and the UK Korean Friendship Association are proud to support  the Juche Idea and the Songun Idea and promote them .The Juche Idea is the most revolutionary idea for achieving the independence of the popular masses and Songun politics is a revolutionary anti-imperialist form of politics for the 21st century !  Those who attack Juche and Songun are serving the imperialists .
   The vile attack by Red Youth on our work calls into question the motives of Red Youth. Some have cited the  "left gatekeeper" theory in relation to them. However we will not speculate on that .Clearly some do not like the success of our work and are out to slander , defame and diminish it with the aim of suppressing genuine support for People's Korea and the Juche Idea in Britain. Our work will continue and we will not be silenced !
