Spokesman for DPRK Foreign Ministry Warns Lee Myung Bak Group of Its Extreme Confrontation Hysteria

Pyongyang, April 22 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry Sunday issued the follow statement: Prevailing on the Korean Peninsula is such emergency situation that the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors' confrontation hysteria has gone beyond a tolerance limit and should not be allowed to go on any longer. The despicable group which has committed the worst evils went the lengths of recklessly hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK again. It is the unanimous human nature and noble sentiment in the world to regard the cherished mental mainstay as dignity dearer than one's own life and not to tolerate any act of hurting it. It is, at the same time, the universally accepted morality to respect the dignity of the supreme leadership of each country and nation irrespective of idea, system, religion and political view. Traitor Lee Myung Bak, however, let loose a string of such malignant invectives that can be uttered only by a shark that the north might spend a ridiculous amount of money for the celebrations of the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung and that amount of fund would be enough to buy a large quantity of food. This was, indeed, a hideous provocative act of seriously hurting the noble feelings of the Korean people. The centenary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the benefactor of the national resurrection, the great sage of mankind and the eternal President of the DPRK, is the greatest holiday of the nation in history and the great jubilee in human history. Lee is no more than human scum of the times as he so malignantly desecrated this significant holiday, far from congratulating the compatriots in the north on it. It is certain that he went through an ill-famed course before being reduced to human scum. Looking back on history, it was none other than Lee who drove the inter-Korean relations into the lowest ebb though they had developed thanks to the growing desire for reunification after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration and he was the arch criminal who escalated only the tensions on the peninsula and in the region. The group of traitors was busy with the groundless false propaganda that "the north was stockpiling food for feasts on the Day of the Sun," not content with making desperate efforts to deter the international moves for food aid to the DPRK last year. At that time we had already branded him as an underwit. The service personnel and people of the DPRK are shaking with irrepressible resentment at the group which defamed the father of the nation whom they are holding in high esteem as the sun. They are now eagerly waiting for the issue of an order so that they may mercilessly punish the traitor. Loud shouts of slogan "Let us beat to death the group of rat-like Lee Myung Bak" are also heard even from the women of the country known as a country of courteous people in the East from olden times. As the Lee group is making last-ditch efforts to seek a way out in escalated confrontation with fellow countrymen, the service personnel and people unanimously hold that this group should be eradicated as early as possible for being a cancer-like entity disturbing the peace and stability in the peninsula and the region. The situation on the peninsula is so tense that it may go beyond control due to the desperate frenzy of the traitor on the deathbed. In view of the prevailing situation, the DPRK Foreign Ministry solemnly declares that in case something happens on the peninsula now, the responsibility will entirely rest with traitor Lee. If any country intends to interfere in the internal affairs of the Korean nation under the pretext of being an ally or partner, patronizing the above-said human scum which wantonly violates human ethics and morality, it will not be able to escape the strikes of the extremely infuriated service personnel and people of the DPRK. -0-
