Rodong Sinmun Brands U.S. and S. Korea as Arch Criminal Escalating Tension

Rodong Sinmun Brands U.S. and S. Korea as Arch Criminal Escalating Tension on Korean Peninsula

Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday runs an article "Who is the provoker escalating the tension on the Korean Peninsula" by its commentator. The following is its full text:
The situation of the Korean Peninsula is arousing great concern at home and abroad these days.
The reckless moves of the U.S. and the south Korean puppet group are driving the inter-Korean relations into a more serious catastrophe and escalating the military tension as the days go by.
Large and dangerous war maneuvers targeted against the DPRK are being staged in the West Sea of Korea and the waters off Jeju Island with the U.S. nuclear-powered carrier George Washington involved. The nexus for aggression is being tightened among the U.S., Japan and south Korea.
Undisguised international confabs take place to insult and violate the dignity, sovereignty and legitimate rights of the DPRK and the campaign for "sanctions" and threat have reached a grave phase.
All these moves for confrontation and war driving the situation on the peninsula to the brink of war are staged under the absurd pretext of "provocations from the north".
The U.S. and south Korean authorities are hell bent on the anti-DPRK confrontation moves and plot-breeding operations, branding the DPRK's access to nukes, launch of satellites for peaceful purposes and counter-measures against their war moves as "provocations".
This reminds one of a thief crying "Stop the thief!"
Who is the real provoker aggravating the tension on the peninsula and where is the root cause of straining the situation?
As a matter of course, it is the trite method of the imperialists to invade other country after branding it as provoker.
Typical examples of it were the last Korean War and the Vietnamese War, both ignited by the U.S.
Its trumpeting about "provocations from the north" is part of these war moves for aggression and a product of its persistent anti-DPRK campaign.
The nuclear issue is the matter over which the U.S. and south Korea pull up the DPRK, citing it as a "provocation".
They are much upset by the fact that the DPRK declared itself as a nuclear weapons state and codified it in its Constitution. They are making much fuss, labeling the exercise of its legitimate right to nuclear development as "a provocation" in every case.
This is a brazen-faced provocation as it amounts to falsifying facts.
The DPRK has consistently advocated the denuclearization of the peninsula. Then why did it have access to nuclear weapons?
Where does a nuclear threat come from and who is threatening whom?
During the last Korean War the U.S. imperialists took a large number of people in the north to south Korea through A-bomb scare, causing a great national tragedy of "10 million separated family members". The Korean people still clearly remember this.
It was none other than the U.S. which introduced nukes into south Korea first and turned it into the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world. It is again the U.S. which has been hell bent on the nuclear war exercises for several decades.
It openly cried out for "a preemptive nuclear attack" on the DPRK and disclosed its sinister scenario for nuclear attack, releasing "nuclear posture review" and talking about "extended nuclear deterrence". The U.S. worked out operation plans related to the scenario and frantically stepped up the moves for a nuclear war, staging war exercises under the simulated conditions of an actual war.
After the demise of the era of the Cold War, nuclear powers decided to reduce nukes and refrain from leveling them at each other. But, the U.S. more desperately brandished its nuclear stick against the DPRK.
For how long the DPRK has to remain exposed to the nuclear threat of the U.S.?
It was none other than the U.S. which compelled the DPRK to have access to nuclear weapons.
Had the U.S. lent an ear to the earnest call of the DPRK for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula even a bit, the nuclear issue at present would have not surfaced.
It is preposterous for the U.S., the chieftain of nuclear threat and nuclear superpower, to vociferate about "nuclear threat from the north."
The south Korean puppet regime has neither justification nor qualification to pull up the DPRK over its nuclear deterrence as it offered south Korea as an advanced nuclear base of the U.S. and has faithfully served the U.S. as a servant and shock brigade in the U.S. master's nuclear war moves. It should be punished by the Korean nation.
The satellite launch is another issue over which the U.S. and the south Korean authorities pull up the DPRK.
They persistently termed the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful purposes long-range missile launch. They are raising a hue and cry over "provocations," citing the nuclear issue and the satellite launch as pretexts for derailing the DPRK-U.S. negotiations and six-party talks.
This is another shameless provocation.
Space development is a right recognized by international law and, accordingly, various countries are launching satellites.
To insist that only the DPRK should not be allowed to launch satellites is brigandish sophism.
Before launching satellites, the DPRK strictly observed the relevant international law and took such a measure as an exception as inviting foreign experts and reporters to visit the satellite launch station, etc.
When the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful purpose was objectively confirmed, making it hard for them to find any excuse to find fault with it, they claimed that even if what the DPRK is supposed to launch is a satellite, it should not be allowed to do so because ballistic missile technology is applied to the launch.
What a far-fetched assertion it is.
According to their logic, Japan's satellite launch was aimed at ballistic missile development and the satellite the south Korean puppet forces are so anxious to put into space with the help of the third country despite repeated failures is also aimed at missile development, and they all should be called into question.
Moreover, it is illogical for the U.S. to loudly talk about "missile threats" from the DPRK even though it launches dozens of satellites every year and frequently carries out up-to-date missile test-fire and interceptor missile tests.
The U.S. and the south Korean puppet group are calling the countermeasures taken by the DPRK to cope with their provocations "provocations" and "threats".
This is sheer sophism and a grave provocation against the DPRK.
It is none other than the U.S. and south Korea which stage hundreds of anti-DPRK war drills including Key Resolve, Ulji Freedom Guardian and Foal Eagle, firing at the flag of the DPRK and fanning up war atmosphere crying out for "occupation of Pyongyang" and "strike at the window of office".
They also openly disclosed their attempt at confrontation between social systems and conducted frantic anti-DPRK psychological campaign as evidenced by scattering of leaflets and "anti-DPRK broadcasting" with the use of even human scum, while citing "emergency situation" and "unification under the liberal democratic system".
They provoke the DPRK first and when the DPRK takes countermeasures, they call them "provocations".
It is universally known that the warship sinking case orchestrated by the puppet forces of south Korea and Yonphyong Island shelling preempted by them in 2010 only backfired.
The U.S. and the south Korean puppet group blame the deteriorated north-south ties and the tensions mounting on the Korean Peninsula on "Cheonan" sinking and Yonphyong shelling but this is just a trick to cover up their crime and shift the responsibility on to the DPRK.
The deteriorated ties and rising tensions date back to the time when Lee Myung Bak ditched north-south joint declarations and declared an all-out confrontation with the DPRK as his north policy after taking office.
Challenging the DPRK's sincere efforts for the improvement of the north-south ties, the Lee Myung Bak group brought to collapse all dialogues and cooperation between the two sides and slandered the social system of the DPRK and even the dignity of its supreme leadership by making all kinds of provocations, thus plunging the ties into an uncontrollable phase.
It is needless to say that had the north-south joint declaration been implemented it would have helped improve the inter-Korean relations, the West Sea of Korea turned into the sea of peace and such horrible incidents not happened.
Hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK is the most heinous and thrice-cursed provocation.
They committed the incident of targeting the supreme leadership in drilling grounds of the puppet army and reserve troops, touching off bitter anger of the army and people of the DPRK and astonishing the world. The incident of insulting photos of peerlessly great persons and slogans about them, the evil doings done during the nation's mourning over the great loss to the nation and smear campaign of slandering the political events of the DPRK are all heinous crimes against humanity unimaginable by human being and the most hideous provocation unprecedented in history.
The puppet group, obsessed with escalating confrontation, took issue with the non-existent "human rights" issue and found fault with the economy and the living of the people in the DPRK. They even defamed the pure feelings and sincere tears the people and children shed mourning the death of their leader.
There cannot be more vicious provocation than this.
The U.S. has made desperate efforts to apply sanctions against the DPRK and isolate, seal off and stifle it by abusing the UN name while carrying a dagger under the coat. The Lee Myung Bak group is rebuffed by the public for its unpopular rule and deterioration of people's living. It is very despicable provocation to talk about "human rights" in the DPRK and "people's living".
The U.S. tops the world's list of military expenditure and the puppet group of south Korea pours money collected from people as taxes into war preparations. They have no qualification to talk about "expenditure".
The U.S. and the Lee group's moves for a war of aggression compelled the DPRK to direct its efforts to the building of national defense. But they are taking issue with its economy, people's living, "human rights" and even "expenditure". This betrays their black-hearted intentions and provocative nature.
American-style capitalist society and corrupt society in south Korea, a colony of the U.S., can be heaven to 1 % of population but they are hell to 99%. But in Korean-style socialist society centered on the popular masses, people form a big harmonious family, helping and leading each other forward as masters of the country and enjoying free medical care and free education. Which society is more advantageous?
The answer of the DPRK people is clear.
As we have already increased defence capabilities in every way, we can lead a happy life under socialism with no more to desire in the world if we reach the high peak of an economic power in the wake of a political and military power.
That's why the people in the DPRK have now turned out in the general charge for final victory full of confidence to bring the day earlier.
Those obsessed with the law of the jungle, individualism and the idea that money is everything can never understand why the Korean people value their social system so much and protect it at the cost of their lives, regarding it their greatest happiness to live under it.
To slander the Korean people this or that way is a mockery and insult to their unblemished thoughts and feelings and an unpardonable provocation to them.
All facts clearly prove that it is the U.S. and the puppet group of south Korea that escalate confrontation and tension on the Korean Peninsula.
Clear are the aims sought by the U.S. and the puppet group in raising a hue and cry over "provocations from the north".
Their smear campaign is to tarnish the DPRK's prestige and ward off its influence, much upset by an invincible might of the DPRK shedding its rays all over the world and winning victory day after day as a just mouthpiece, guardian of peace and a socialist stronghold under the uplifted banner of Songun, led by the outstanding and tested leader, the dear respected Kim Jong Un.
It is also aimed to pass the buck for the bedeviled inter-Korean relations and escalated tension on the Korean Peninsula to the DPRK and justify their confrontation and war moves in a bid to realize their wild ambition to invade it.
Lurking behind their trumpeting about "provocations from the north" is a black-hearted intention to chill the daily growing desire to achieve reunification through alliance with the north, destabilize it, break its single-minded unity and bar Koreans from achieving reunification through their concerted efforts.
Looking back on history, the U.S. instigated the puppet group to orchestrate shocking incidents whenever the desire for reconciliation, unity and reunification mounted between the north and the south and desperately blocked them.
The U.S. ignited the Korean War on June 25, 1950 to bar the north and the south from moving toward national reunification and put the whole of Korea under its control. It hurled the Park Chung-Hee's military hooligan into staging the May 16 military coup. When the desire to achieve reunification through alliance with the north grew stronger under the slogan "Let us go to north, come south, let us meet at Panmunjom," the U.S. drove him into dashing it in a sinister bid to perpetuate the nation's division and keep south Korea as its permanent colony. This is not secret.
In the 1970s when the July 4 joint declaration was adopted, the U.S. chilled the south Koreans' desire by establishing the "yusin" dictatorial system and intensifying the moves for a war against the north. In the 1980s and the 1990s when multi-faceted dialogues took place and the road was paved for exchange and cooperation, it got frantic with nuclear war racket against the DPRK including the "Team Spirit" Joint Military Exercise, putting a check bar on them.
The decisive turning point for reunification was brought about on the Korean Peninsula with the publication of the June 15 joint declaration as a momentum. Much upset by this, the U.S. set up the Lee Myung Bak conservative regime and let it rapidly push the inter-Korean relations to collapse.
The U.S. is just a root cause that drove the inter-Korean ties to a catastrophic phase and deteriorated the situation on the peninsula.
Now the U.S. arrogance, high-handedness and arbitrariness have reached the extreme pitch.
Conniving at all the illegal actions of those countries obedient to it, the U.S. seeks hard to stifle those independent countries branding their legitimate rights and just assertions as illegal and styling itself "international military policeman" and "world judge".
If it feels the need of the UN in carrying out its policy for aggression, it abuses the name of the UN, and if not, it disregards the UN and international law and invades other countries at will.
This is the tragic situation of the world.
There are so many countries and nations in the world that fell victim to the U.S.
When the joint declaration was published, the UN fully hailed it.
It, however, failed to make any statement denouncing the action of the U.S. and the south Korean puppets when they ditched the June 15 joint declaration but sided with their moves for confrontation and war.
This is, indeed, a deplorable situation.
Such an abnormal situation should no longer be allowed to remain intact.
The DPRK will as ever make strenuous efforts in a responsible manner for détente and peace on the peninsula as it did in the past. But if the U.S. and the south Korean puppet group take provocative actions, taking issue with the DPRK without any ground, the DPRK will show no mercy but decisively smash their actions.
The impartial world media and progressives and south Koreans from all walks of life should properly see who is a provocateur in the peninsula in order to flatly reject the "theory of the provocation by the north" much touted by the U.S. and the south Korean forces and raise the voices of support and solidarity for the just cause of the DPRK.
All Koreans in the north and the south of Korea will frustrate the criminal "theory of provocation by the north" spread by the U.S. and the south Korean puppets group, wipe out the enemies of reunification to the last man on the peninsula and bring about the June 15 era of reunification again without fail by concerted efforts of the Koreans. -0-

KCNA Commentary Blames U.S. for Escalated Tension on Korean Peninsula

Pyongyang, June 27 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the U.S. summoned the south Korean puppet officials to Washington to hold foreign and defense ministerial talks there.
At the talks the U.S. cried out for defending south Korea by mobilizing all U.S. military forces, again citing the non-existent "threat" and "provocations" from the DPRK.
They agreed on jointly building a missile shield and stipulated in a joint statement the U.S. sustained provision of the "extended deterrence" to south Korea.
This clearly tells who is chiefly to blame for the escalated tension on the Korean Peninsula as it betrays the U.S. invariable design to stifle the DPRK at any cost by force of arms, with every means and method involved including the use of nukes.
It was none other than the U.S. that openly beefed up armed forces and stepped up moves for a nuclear war against the DPRK in wanton violation of the Armistice Agreement (AA), rendering the situation on the peninsula extremely tense.
It unilaterally declared the abrogation of Paragraph 13 D of the AA and systematically introduced into south Korea more than 1 000 nuclear weapons of various types together with huge quantities of military hardware, thus turning south Korea into the world's biggest nuclear base.
The U.S. concluded the "mutual defense treaty" with south Korea to legalize its troops' presence in south Korea, an open challenge to Paragraph 60, the main provision of the AA which calls for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from the Korean Peninsula and peaceful settlement of the Korean issue.
It also illegally introduced heavy weapons and combatants into demilitarized zone (DMZ) in violation of Paragraphs 6 and 10 of the AA, turning the areas along the Military Demarcation Line into an advanced base for a new war.
The U.S. is becoming evermore frantic in its moves to launch a new war.
Its military has given priority to beefing up its aggression forces in south Korea. Accordingly, huge quantities of new type offensive weapons are being additionally deployed in the units of the U.S. forces.
U.S. units supposed to be transferred to Phyongthaek U.S. base south of the River Han are being relocated in the front areas. The U.S. forces side is closeted with the puppet forces over the issue of keeping the U.S.-south Korea "Combined Forces Command" as it is even after the transfer of the right to command wartime operations to south Korea.
Large-scale joint military exercises are going on one after another.
The U.S. staged a joint military drill together with Japanese and south Korean forces in the South Sea of Korea on June 21 and 22 and a joint naval maneuver with the south Korean forces in the West Sea from June 23 to 25 with nuclear-powered carrier George Washington involved.
On June 22 the U.S. forces staged the largest-ever joint live shell firing in the area south of the DMZ in league with south Korea. In this drill they

DPRK Woman Interviewed upon Her Return Home

Pyongyang, June 28 (KCNA) -- DPRK woman Pak Jong Suk was interviewed by Korean and foreign reporters at the People's Palace of Culture on Thursday.
She returned home after being taken away to south Korea.
Present there were media persons from the DPRK, the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, China, Russia and the U.S.
Pak told about how she was taken away to south Korea.
She said she was residing in Rapuk-dong No. 1, Ranam District of Chongjin City, North Hamgyong Province. "I illegally crossed the border on the night of March 29, 2006 in a foolish hope of meeting my father who went to south Korea due to the A-bomb scare made by the U.S. imperialists during the Korean War and getting money from him", she said.
"I was taken in by the luring tactics of south Korean Intelligence Service agents in an alien land and handed over by them according to their scenario. This was how I was taken to south Korea at around 9 a.m. of June 29 of the same year", she added.
She recalled that while living in south Korea for six years she led a life little short of a miserable slave's for want of money.
Referring to the living conditions of the "defectors from the north", she said the jobs they could find at best were nothing but waste cleaning, vessel washing and servicing and other most hateful and difficult jobs.
The suicidal rate among them is five times that among other south Koreans, she said. They ardently wish to return to the DPRK, cursing corrupt south Korean society and reproaching themselves.
She spoke of what she felt after coming back to the DPRK after diverting the watch of IS agents.
"A single misstep made me fall into a bottomless pitfall, leaving disgrace to my children. But my motherland injected life-giving water to me who might have become a forlorn wandering spirit," she noted.
"When I deplaned, quieting my thumping heart, I was stunned by the cordial reception given by officials concerned," Pak said, adding:
"I felt at that time how affectionate and great the motherland is to me.
I would have no more to desire before I die.
The dear respected Kim Jong Un did not blame me who did so many wrongs in the past but brought me under his warm care. He showed profound loving care for me.
Kim Jong Un made sure that I, little different from an offender, reside in Pyongyang with my son who is a teacher of Pyongyang Kim Won Gyun Conservatory and daughter-in-law.
I am neither a patriot nor a hero who made any tangible contribution to the country.
I am an ingrate who had betrayed my motherland to seek better living while others devoted themselves to building a thriving nation, tightening their belts.
I deserve punishment. But Kim Jong Un did not blame me but was so kind as to enable me to enjoy the greatest happiness. How can I forget this profound love and benevolence so long as l am alive.
The world does not know such tender-hearted leader as the dear respected General Kim Jong Un.
I was reborn thanks to Kim Jong Un identical to the great Generalissimos."
Pak, together with the son and daughter-in-law, sang a song "My Unforgettable Path," determined to remain intensely loyal to Kim Jong Un, the tender-hearted father of the great family of the country, generation after generation. -0-

UK KFA -Britain should not be involved in RIMPAC

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
               London 28th June Juche 101(2012)
The UK Korean Friendship Association strongly demands that no British forces participate in RIMPAC . RIMPAC is an aggressive war exercises of the US imperialists aimed at stifling Korean-style socialism by blockading the DPRK and crushing it by force.
                        The UK should pull its token military force out of south Korea and not participate in any US sponsored military exercises against the DPRK . The British flag must be withdrawn from Panmumjom.
             We demand that Britain does not repeat its shameful history in Korea . Britain not only sent troops to fight in Korea for the US imperialists against the Korean people but had over a century ago connived at the Japanese occupation of Korea. The Attlee government shamefully reduced Britain into a satellite state of the US and scarified the lives of young men as canon fodder and bullet shields for the Yankees.
           It is time for the UK to pursue a totally independent policy in Korea and not prop up the US there. Britain should seek genuine friendship and co-operation with the DPRK.

No to RIMPAC -ASSPUK JISGE and UK KFA

Viewing with grave concern the intention of the US imperialist and other reactionaries intention to stage the RIMPAC exercises, the ASSPUK , JISGE and UK KFA issued the following joint statement

We denouce the RIMPAC aggressive  exercises of the US imperialists against the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea to be staged from the 29th of June. These are aggressive exercises targetting the DPRK . The  biennial  RIMPAC joint military exercises are in pursuance of the U.S. imperialists' aggression policy to attain its scenario of stifling the DPRK by blockading it from the sea. The exercises are part of a premeditated plan to the US to not only stifle independent Juche socialism by force but to dominate and control the whole Asia-Pacific region.

The exercises are huge in scale involving 22 ships, 6 submarines and 200 aircraft from the US imperialists and 21 of their satellite states. RIMPAC is not only a threat to the independence and sovereignty of the DPRK but also a threat to peace in Asia and the world.

RIMPAC is aimed at starting a second Korean war.  The RIMPAC exercises have assembled a so -called
multi-national "coalition " to attack and crush the DPRK. It is very remiscent of the so-called UN forces in the last Korean war which consisted of the satellite states of US imperialism.  Any state participating in RIMPAC in joining hands in the anti DPRK moves of the US imperialists as well helping US imperialism in its strategy to control the Asia-Pacific region


We also express concern that the UK is to participate in them. Britain must withdraw from such exercises at once .
We demand the RIMPAC exercises are cancelled at once .

On June 22 the U.S. forces staged the largest-ever joint live shell firing in the area south of the DMZ in league with south Korea. In this drill they perpetrated such reckless provocation as firing at the flag of the DPRK.
The situation goes to prove that the U.S. still remains unchanged in its ambition to stifle the DPRK and put the whole Korean Peninsula under its control in a bid to secure a bridgehead for carrying out its strategy for Asian domination.
This is, however, no more than a daydream.
The DPRK emerged a military power whose military capability is incomparably stronger than what was during the Korean War in the last century.
The U.S. had better not forget the disgrace and defeat it suffered in the war fought against the young DPRK. -0-

ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA slam US provocation against the DPRK

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK

www.uk-songun.com
                                   London 27th of June Juche 101(2012)
The ASSPUK and Juche Idea Study Group of England together with the UK Korean Friendship Association issued a statement in connection with the recent deeply serious and unpardonable provocation committed by the US imperialist forces in Korea.
               We wish to express our condemnation in the strongest possible terms  regarding the serious provocation of firing on the DPRK national flag during 'live fire ' aggressive war exercises on the 22nd of June. Firing on the flag of an sovereign and independent state is an act of war, a provocation that goes way the limits of international norms . It is totally outrageous that the US has done this. Moreover the fact that the exercises which involved a large amount of military hardware including the USS "George Washington ".
                         Such an act greatly increases tension on the Korean peninsula and in the whole of Asia. The US imperialists should be fully cognisant what could result from such provocative actions
                            This shows that the US imperialists talk of peace and dialogue is completely false. How can they be serious about resuming six party talks when they fire on the DPRK flag and continually carry exercises. How can they have a dialogue with the DPRK when they commit horrendous acts of negating the sovereignty of the DPRK. Talk of dialogue and peace by the US imperialists is just a ruse to stifle the socialist system of the DPRK .
                        By firing on the DPRK flag the US imperialists have demonstrated to the whole world and to every impartial and honest observer that they wish to start another Korean war. The nature of the US imperialists has not changed one iota is the past 62 years. The US imperialists are keen to ignite another Korean war in order to crush independent Juche socialism in the DPRK and seize all of Korea in order to turn it into a market for surplus commodities and capital and make it a cheap labour base. The US imperialists are indeed reactionaries who believe in running backwards to meet their own future.

We demand that the US stop all such war exercises and apologise for their serious crime against the dignity of the DPRK.

We fully support the DPRK Foreign Ministry statement of June 26th which makes it clear that the DPRK will bolster its nuclear deterrent.

 We call on progressive and peace'loving people to expose and denounce more strongly the provocations of the US towards People's Korea.

Undeniable Fact about Provocation of Korean War

Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- Over the past 60 odd years, the United States has insisted that the Korean War (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) was started with the "southward invasion" by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

History, however, denies such insistence of the U.S. imperialists.

MacArthur, the then commander of the U.S. forces in the Far East, told a U.S. Senate hearing in May 1951 that the north Korean forces were deployed much far from the 38th parallel and the deployment was not for attack. He also said that the south Korean forces had amassed all their military supplies and hardware in the areas along the 38th parallel and their deployment formation was not for defense in depth.

It was also disclosed that the then U.S. president, Truman, gave officials of the Defense and State departments Order No. 29 on launching a general attack at dawn of June 25, 1950. The order was delivered, through the command of the U.S. forces in the Far East, to field commands of the south Korean forces on June 21, to each regiment on June 24 and to each company at dawn of June 25.

Meanwhile, the U.S. imperialists let units under the U.S. 5th Air Force in Japan take part in the Korean War from June 25.

An American war veteran testified to the fact that the 68th and 339th fighter squadrons and the 25th fighter-bomber squadron under the U.S. 5th Air Force made 163 sorties from Japan on June 25.

According to American book "Who Began the Korean War?", a war scenarios for aggression on the DPRK had already and completely been worked out and the war preparations were rounded off as of May 1950 on the part of the U.S. imperialists.

India's newspaper Crossroads reported in its Dec. 23 issue in 1950 that Colonel Eida, who had been a staff officer of the U.S. Forces Command in the Far East, said that the south Korean army started the war by the direct order of the U.S. general headquarters in Japan.

It is the undeniable truth that the U.S. started the Korean War. -0-

U.S. Imperialists Branded as Provoker of Korean War

U.S. Imperialists Branded as Provoker of Korean War

Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- June 25 is the day when the U.S. imperialists unleashed the Korean War.
On this occasion KCNA had an interview with Ra Yong Sun, deputy head of the research department at the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum.
Q: Would you tell me about the preparations the U.S. imperialists had made after their occupation of south Korea to provoke the Korean War?
A: The U.S. imperialists organized and expanded the south Korean puppet army and kept it under their control.
In 1949 they delivered to south Korea huge military equipment enough to arm 50 000 troops and then offered military aid amounting to more than 87 million dollars in addition.
The military aid granted by the United States to south Korea from 1945 to 1949 totaled to at least one billion dollars.
In June 1950 Dulles came to south Korea as a special envoy of the then U.S. president, Truman, and finally examined the war plan at a trench along the 38th parallel.
Q: The camouflage and deceptive ruse, employed by the U.S. imperialists on the eve of the Korean War, well showed that they were the provoker of it. Please tell me about that.
A: They evacuated the American families at the U.S. embassy in Seoul to Japan through Kimpho Airport and then other American families and noncombatants by air and sea.
They also directed movements of hierarchs under the name of weekend, travel and the like.
Traitor Syngman Rhee of south Korea played such dramas as lifting of emergency martial law, exit permit to the barracks and parties under the U.S. scenario.
At last the U.S. imperialists instigated the south Korean puppet forces to launch a surprise armed attack on the northern half of Korea from all areas along the 38th parallel at 04:00 on June 25, 1950.
But they suffered a bitter defeat in this three-year war, the first defeat in the U.S. history of wars.
If the United States, oblivious of the past lesson, dares ignite another war in the Korean Peninsula, it will face a bitterer defeat. -0-

U.S. Hit for Pulling Up DPRK over 'Flesh Traffic'

Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry on Monday gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA accusing the U.S. of pulling up the DPRK over the issue of "flesh traffic":
The U.S. State Department recently released a "report on flesh traffic" in which it committed such a politically-motivated provocation as malignantly slandering the DPRK again on the basis of its oft-repeated lies and fabrications.
Such thing as "flesh traffic" does not exist in the man-centred society of the DPRK where everybody is equal and the people's true democratic rights and freedom and worthy life and dignity as independent human beings are legally guaranteed.
If flesh traffic is committed outside the territory of the DPRK, it is a product of political plots hatched by unsavory hostile forces of south Korea and Japan. Touring areas near the border of the DPRK, they disguise illegal border trespassers as "political exiles" or sell them off for a petty amount of money given by the U.S. according to the "North Korean Human Rights Act".
By nature, flesh traffic is an evil produced by capitalist society where the dignity and value of human beings are judged by money and man is sold and bought by money. It is well known to everybody that the U.S is the kingpin of flesh traffic in the world.
It is nonsensical for the U.S. to talk about others' "flesh traffic" though it is the world's worst human rights abuser as all irregularities and corruption including flesh traffic are rampant there.
It is mean to cover up one's fault by slandering others. It is the trite double standards and political intrigue of the U.S. to point an accusing finger at only those countries which do not meekly obey it.
For the U.S. to take issue with the DPRK over the issue of flesh traffic is a typical expression of its hostile policy toward the DPRK. This only proves that the U.S. remains unchanged in its hostile intention to isolate and stifle the independent socialist system chosen by the Korean people.
The anachronistic hostile policy the U.S. has persistently pursued toward the DPRK would only harden its resolution to retaliate against the policy. This would entail the consequences of bolstering up its nuclear deterrent for self-defence. -0-

DPRK FM Spokesman Denounces U.S. Military Provocation

Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry Sunday issued the following statement:
The U.S. committed another grave provocative act of violating the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK.
On June 22 the U.S. imperialist aggression troops in south Korea staged the largest-ever joint live firing drill in the area south of the Demilitarized Zone together with the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors and perpetrated such reckless act as firing at the DPRK flag.
It is an extremely grave military action and politically-motivated provocation to fire live bullets and shells at the flag of a sovereign state without a declaration of war.
The U.S. often talks about someone's "provocation" but the recent firing at the flag of the DPRK clearly showed who is a real provocateur.
The U.S. imperialists' reckless firing at the DPRK flag symbolic of its sovereignty and the dignity of the nation is the most vivid expression of their hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The drill once again clearly proved that the commitment which the U.S. authorities made in the February 29 DPRK-U.S. Agreement that they would not antagonize the DPRK after uttering honeyed words that they have no hostile intent on it was a sheer lie.
In recent days the U.S. has left no means untried in various aspects to more desperately enforce its hostile policy towards the DPRK and this has gone beyond the tolerance limit.
Lurking behind the U.S. hostile policy is its aggressive ambition to stifle the DPRK and swallow up the whole of the Korean Peninsula. This indicates that this ambition remains unchanged after lapse of 62 years since the U.S. ignited the Korean war.
However, the military and technological superiority is no longer a monopoly of the U.S. and gone are the days never to return when the U.S. could threaten and blackmail the DPRK with A-bombs.
The Korean people are pushing forward the building of an economic power full of confidence as leader Kim Jong Il pursued outstanding Songun politics, providing powerful nuclear deterrent which no aggressor forces dare destroy.
The DPRK's nuclear deterrent for self-defence is, indeed, an all-powerful treasured sword for preventing a war and reliably protecting peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The DPRK will further bolster up its nuclear deterrent for self-defence as long as the U.S., the world's biggest nuclear weapons state, persists in its hostile policy towards the DPRK.
The ever-escalating U.S. hostile policy will finally result in making by itself a big hole in the system for monopolizing nuclear weapons which it is so keen to preserve. -0-

ASSPUK and JISGE joint statement on the Month of Solidarity

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK
www.uk-songun.com
London 23rd of June Juche 101 (2012)

On the occasion of the 62nd anniversary of the provocation of the Fatherland Liberation War by the US imperialists and the start of the month of solidarity with the Korean people against US imperialism, the ASSPUK and JISGE issued the following statement:
 

The US imperialists, the ringleader of the world imperialism and international reactionaries, provoked a war in Korea on the 25th of June 1950 by instigating their south Korean puppets to attack the young Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. The US imperialists were hungry for profits and conquest. The US imperialists fought an unjust aggressive war against the Korean people. The US imperialists launched a war of conquest against the DPRK , a war to destroy the Juche-based people's democratic system in the DPRK as well to destroy socialism in Asia and the world.

The Korean people led by the great revolutionary leader Marshal Kim Il Sung, a true military strategic genius and ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant fought a fierce anti- imperialist, anti- US struggle against US imperialism and the allied forces of international reaction. It was a fierce class struggle against the enemies of the people.The Korean people fought a national liberation war against the Yankee imperialist invaders, a war of justice for independence and freedom and also a war to reunify the sacred motherland.

The Fatherland Liberation War of the Korean people was a crucible of the Songun idea. We condemn the appalling barbarity of the US imperialists during the Fatherland Liberation War . We denounce their crimes of massacring civilians(including Sinchon ri,which I visited myself), use of biological and chemical weapons. The US imperialists tried to exterminate the Korean people by carrying out the war that they long planned . History will curse forever the US imperialists as sub-human savages and criminals as well as an enemy of humanity and progress. Indeed US imperialism is the ringleader of aggression and war and chieftain of human rights violations. Its nature has not changed the least under Obama


The US imperialists continue to occupy south Korea to these very day ,ignoring the will of the Korean people and the voices of world progressives. The US imperialists have committed crimes in south Korea too numerous to mention but these include  murder,rape and theft. They are exploiting the south Korean people by demanding upkeep expenses from the taxpayers. They have incited the Lee Myung Bak fascist puppets to rush headlong into confrontation against the DPRK . The Lee Myung Bak fascist puppets have insulted and slandered the dignity of the DPRK supreme leadership  and the people-centred socialist system. This is unpardonable. Not content with this the US imperialists and the south Korean puppets along with the Japanese imperialists are carrying out massive military exercises targetting the DPRK.
.
 

On the occasion of the Month of Solidarity with the Korean people we extend our fervent support to the Korean people,led by dear respected general KIM JONG UN ,in the struggle to secure the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the US imperialist aggression forces from the south of Korea. The US imperialists must renounce their hostile policy towards the DPRK. We join hands with the Juche Idea and Songun idea followers in rallying around the DPRK and campaigning for the withdrawal of US imperialist aggression troops from the south of Korea.

Kim Il Sung was the most outstanding leader of the 20th century and a peerlessly great man.

The 20th century was an era of revolutionary changes in the struggle of the masses of the people for their independence, changes unprecedented in human history, and an era of fierce struggle between the progressives and reactionaries, between socialism and imperialism. In this century full of changes, there were many renowned politicians and personages, who left traces in the shaping of the masses’ destiny and in the political history of the world, but none of them was a preeminent leader, a peerless patriot and a great revolutionary as our leader was, who, from his teens to eighties, adorned the century as a century of victory of the cause of anti-imperialist independence, the cause of socialism, by dint of unique ideology and leadership and ennobling virtue while enjoying the absolute support and trust of the people. The 20th century was, both in name and in reality, Kim Il Sung’s century resplendent with his imperishable exploits and the personalities of the great man.

Kim Il Sung was the most outstanding leader and an extraordinary veteran statesman, who left imperishable exploits for his country and people and for the times and revolution by means of profound ideas and theories, uncommon leadership ability and gigantic revolutionary practice.

He was a great leader of the people, who put forward the masses, once oppressed and exploited, as the master of history, and raised their dignity and value to the highest level possible.

His was a noble life of a people’s leader, who regarded “The people are my God” as his motto, applied it to his ideas and leadership and turned it into reality. For him, the masses of the people were always a teacher, and he was their loyal son. He began his revolutionary activities by going amongst them; the revolutionary activities were conducted always by relying on them, and they were dedicated, from beginning to end, to defending and achieving their independence. Thanks to these activities, the masses’ demand and aspiration for independence became ideas, theories, lines and policies, and the most revolutionary and scientific guidelines, which were easily understood by them and which indicated the true roads for them to take to shape their destiny, were provided.

Cherishing as his faith the revolutionary principle that the masses are the masters of the revolution and construction and they have the strength with which to propel the revolution and construction, he always went amongst the masses and enlisted their inexhaustible strength and creative wisdom in solving all the problems in conformity with their demands and interests.

His absolute trust in the people and devotion to them was the fundamental secret of the victories he achieved one after another in the revolution and construction while braving the difficulties and hardships unprecedented in history. As he placed trust in the masses and relied on them, he was able to push forward simultaneously the gigantic undertakings, like authoring a guiding ideology of the revolution, forming a vanguard organization, founding an army, awakening the masses to their ideological consciousness and organizing them, thus creating a new history of the Juche revolution and leading several stages of the difficult and complicated revolutionary struggle and the work of construction to victory without any mistake in his lines and without any failure.

The invincible socialist country that has been built on this land today and the revolutionary cause of Juche that is gaining victory after victory are precious fruits whose seeds he planted in the soil of the people and developed throughout his life. As they were led by him, the masses, once an object of history, could usher in a new era of history, the Juche era, when they are shaping their destiny by their own efforts while steering the wheel of the times and history.

Kim Il Sung was a preeminent and seasoned leader of the revolution, who wrote a new chapter of modern history and added brilliance to it by leading our revolution along the ever-victorious road under the banner of independence.

Independence was the revolutionary creed, revolutionary mode and revolutionary practice he cherished and applied all his life. Already in the first days of his revolutionary struggle, he, with an uncommon wisdom and insight, clarified the truth of the revolution that independence is the life and soul of a country and a nation as well as the masses, and that, to achieve it, sycophancy and dogmatism should be rejected and the revolution be conducted in an independent and creative way. That he held high the banner of independence for the first time, formulated it as the fundamentals and mode of the revolution and applied it was an epochal event noteworthy in the history of human ideology and the history of the revolutionary struggle of the masses.

The Korean revolution was a serious political struggle, a class struggle, against imperialism, dominationism, sycophancy, dogmatism and revisionism, and an unprecedentedly complicated and arduous struggle that could not be won by means of the existing formula or methods. Free from the past, stained with sycophancy and dogmatism, Kim Il Sung, in the whole course of leading the revolution, regarded independence as its lifeline and solved all the problems arising in the revolution and construction in our own way and in conformity with the demands of our revolution, the interests of our people and the actual situation of our country. By consistently holding fast to the principle of independence, he built a powerful driving force of our revolution, smashed at every step the counterrevolutionary offensive of the imperialists and reactionaries and the interventionist schemes of the “Leftist” and Rightist opportunists, and led to victory two revolutionary wars, two rounds of reconstruction, two stages of social revolution and socialist construction. He continuously developed the relationship with foreign parties and countries also based on the principle of independence. In this way, he highly exalted the external prestige and dignity of our Party and our state, and rendered a great contribution to accomplishing the cause of anti-imperialist independence, the cause of socialism.

Through a great revolutionary practice, he proved that independence is the justice of history, the victory of the revolution and the basis of the development of fair international relations, and steered the historical current of the 20th century along the road of independence, thus opening a new chapter of history, when the masses, freed from domination and subjugation, wage the revolution of their respective countries in an independent way.

Great, indeed, was the resolution of Kim Il Sung to hold high the banner of independence in the previous century, when sycophancy, dogmatism and dominationism were prevalent; more worthy of note in the modern political history was his revolutionary practice of not giving up the principle of independence all the time but propelling the cause of our revolution with pluck in the rigorous circumstances of the world, through which the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the imperialists and dominationists were cutting a swathe.

Today independence has become a vivid symbol of his personality as a peerlessly great man and a byword of our times serving to praise his sacred revolutionary career and imperishable achievements.

Kim Il Sung was an ever-victorious, iron-willed commander and military genius who blazed a trail for our revolution and led it along the road of victory by force of arms.

The whole historical course of our people’s revolutionary struggle was beset with acute military confrontations, including the two revolutionary wars, when they had to wage a life-and-death struggle against the imperialist forces of aggression. He early advanced Juche-oriented military ideas and theories and put great emphasis on strengthening the revolutionary armed forces throughout his revolutionary career, always winning victories in the bloody fights and grave showdowns with the imperialist forces. In the revolutionary war against the Japanese imperialists and the Fatherland Liberation War he defeated the formidable imperialist enemies, who boasted of their numerical and technological edge, by dint of political and ideological, strategic and tactical superiority; the world people greatly admired and trusted him as an iron-willed commander, outstanding military strategist and symbol of victory in the anti-imperialist struggle.

In   human   history   there   has  been  recorded  no  such  a  leader  of  the  type  of  military  general  as
Kim Il Sung, an unparalleled commander possessed of the power of both pen and sword, who, always standing on the front line with arms of the revolution in his hands, achieved one victory after another in the showdowns with the imperialist forces by dint of his brilliant military strategy and art of command.

Kim Il Sung was a great revolutionary and a great man of ennobling personalities.

He was the great of the greatest, who has no equal in terms of personalities both as a revolutionary and as a man.

He was a great revolutionary who devoted his all to achieving the victory of the revolution with infinite loyalty to the revolutionary cause. In the long period since he embarked on the road of revolution he only thought about the revolution and dedicated himself to it, working devotedly for its victory in spite of all the conceivable sorrows and agonies he experienced. He hardly took a good rest, even at an advanced age of over 80 giving on-site guidance at factories and rural villages. The world knows no such a great revolutionary as our President who, with devotion to the revolution and his people, finished all he should do by displaying superhuman energy till the last moment of his life and passed away in his office.

He was strong in faith and will and had unsurpassed pluck. In retrospect, the imperialists persisted in bringing pressure to bear upon our Republic and making military threats against it, and our revolution was faced with severe trials in countless numbers. Each time he boldly confronted the trials with the faith and assurance that we will emerge victorious as long as there are the Party, the government, the army and the people and with the matchless courage that there is always a way out even if the heavens may crumble; in this way he turned adversity and misfortune to good account, thus winning victory after victory.

He was the supreme incarnation of revolutionary comradeship. Proceeding from the principle that the revolution means comrades and vice versa, he began his revolutionary struggle by gaining comrades, creating the most beautiful history of revolutionary comradeship. In the long period of making the revolution he took responsibility for the destiny and future of those, whoever they may be and with whom he had come into comradely relations, and protected them to the last, holding all the revolutionary soldiers in his embrace and bestowing great trust and love on them. Thanks to his ennobling comradeship, in the initial days of the Korean revolution the ranks of new-type revolutionaries rallied on the basis of comradely love and obligation were formed, and at present the whole society, with his comradeship as the foundation, has turned into a world of comrades with their leader at the centre. The sacred history of his revolutionary activities is the history of comradeship, which was opened up and recorded a series of victories by dint of comradeship.

Kim Il Sung was a great man of ennobling character and virtue.

He approached and looked after his people with a warm heart and in a simple and unceremonious manner. To the enemies, he was a tiger of Mt. Paektu, but to his men and people, a very kind-hearted and dear father. When talking to children, he became a child and to the elderly, their intimate friend; he cared for their innermost thoughts as a meticulous mother would do. When meeting workers, he held their grease-stained hands without reserve and in a rural village, had friendly talks with the peasants at the edge of a field; his speeches were often mixed with jokes, humorous and down to earth. Even though he was held in high respect and admiration by our people and progressive peoples of the world, he disallowed any special favour or privilege for himself, and always led a simple and frugal life with his people. So there was no gap between him and our people, from children to the elderly, and they admired and supported him with loyalty.

He was a holy person, magnanimous and broad-minded. His was a wide and benevolent embrace, in which all people who love their country and nation were held for care and protection. He embraced and trusted all those who love their country and nation, regarding them as his eternal companions on the road for the motherland and fellow countrymen. As he approached and embraced people with great magnanimity and benevolence, even those who had committed crimes against the nation in the past could make their life brilliant on the road for their motherland and fellow countrymen, following him as the benefactor for their revival and the father of their nation.

Having been endowed with humaneness, boundless in width and depth, he kept close ties of friendship with party and state leaders as well as a large number of prominent figures in the political, social and academic circles of various countries of the world, who aspired for independence. Anyone who had ever met him, although they had different ideologies and political views, expressed boundless admiration and respect for him as they were attracted by his noble personality. That is why he was the richest in like-minded people and friends in the world.

Indeed, Kim Il Sung was the great leader of the revolution, the benevolent father of the people and a peerlessly great man admired by everyone, whose equal had never been recorded in history.

Kim Il Sung is the eternal leader of our Party and people and the Sun of Juche who laid the foundations of lasting value for the victorious advance and accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche.

He ushered in the new era of the Juche revolution by authoring the great Juche idea, led several stages of social revolution towards a brilliant victory by embodying the idea and performed imperishable exploits in every field of the revolution and construction.

The Juche idea he authored and applied creditably into revolutionary practice is the eternal banner of victory of our revolution.

The Juche idea, a revolutionary ideology based on the integrated system of a man-centred philosophical idea, revolutionary theory and leadership method, is a perfect guiding ideology of the revolution which indicates the road for the masses to take in their struggle for independence.

The idea established a man-centred outlook on the world, with the result that it opened the way for man to shape the social history and his own destiny in an independent way with the self-consciousness that he is the master of the world and his own destiny.

Being advanced as a man-centred revolutionary theory and leadership method, it clearly indicates the way for the masses to successfully carry out the revolution and construction and brilliantly accomplish the cause of their independence under whatever complicated circumstances and conditions by relying on the revolutionary and scientific theory, strategy, tactics and method.

The great Juche idea, as it is a man-centred view of the world and revolutionary theory and method, is a revolutionary ideology, most reasonable, universal and valid, which all those who aspire after independence can easily sympathize with and accept as their own. This is evidenced by the glorious history of our revolution which has traversed a proud road of victory under the banner of the Juche idea and the reality of today when the aspiration for global independence is mounting as the days go by under the rays of the Juche idea.

The Juche idea is an encyclopaedic, revolutionary ideology representing the whole historical stages of implementing the cause of independence of the masses, the cause of socialism, and a great ideology guiding mankind to the future.

The immortal revolutionary exploits Kim Il Sung performed while leading the revolutionary struggle and construction work victoriously under the banner of the Juche idea serve as the eternal cornerstone that provides a sure guarantee for implementing the socialist cause of Juche.

A revolutionary party, government and army are the most powerful political weapon that assures a revolutionary cause of its start, progress and victory. History shows that the destiny of the revolution, the destiny of socialism, is decided by how the party, government and army are built and how the people are prepared politically and ideologically.

As there are the Workers’ Party of Korea, a Juche-type revolutionary party which was founded and developed by Kim Il Sung, the Government of the Republic which is genuine people’s power, the invincible People’s Army and our people who were trained by him to be strong in ideas and faith, our revolution today is making vigorous progress in spite of trials and hardships beyond imagination while working miracles of history in all fields of socialist construction, as it was in the previous century. The Party firmly ensures the leader’s guidance over the revolution and construction, and leads the masses to fulfil their responsibilities and role as the masters of the revolution and construction in loyal support of the Party and the leader. Our people’s government, shouldering the responsibility for the country’s economy and the people’s living, is defending and ensuring the masses’ right to and interests in independence and guiding and managing in a unified way the efforts to build a thriving nation and improve the people’s standard of living. The People’s Army which has grown into a powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu is displaying, as the hard-core unit and main force of our revolution, the honour of a performer of miracles and feats in all the challenging yet important posts of defending and building up socialism and of a creator and disseminator of Songun culture.

The sure guarantee for firmly safeguarding our socialism and achieving the prosperity of the country and nation consists in further developing the party, state and army of Kim Il Sung and giving ceaseless and full play to the infinite mental and creative strength of our people.

Socialism of our style, the greatest patriotic heritage bequeathed by Kim Il Sung, constitutes the everlasting foundation bed for dynamically pushing ahead with the building of a thriving socialist nation in the new century and accomplishing the socialist cause of Juche with credit.

Socialism of our style centred on the masses is a genuine socialism where they are the masters of the country and society and everything in the country and society serves them; it is an invincible socialism as it has struck its roots deep in the life and living of our people. When socialism collapsed in several countries of the world in the previous century, the imperialist reactionaries made a big fuss about the “end” of socialism, but socialism of our style is here to stay even in the worldwide political turmoil and further, it is bringing about epoch-making changes in all the political, military, economic and cultural fields.

Our socialism is an invincible socialism, in which the leader, the Party and the masses are united single-heartedly.

That all the people are firmly rallied around the leader in ideology, purpose and moral obligation and the whole society has turned into a great family in which all its members help and lead one another forward in a comradely manner is the essential feature of socialism of our style and the source of its inexhaustible strength. Our single-hearted unity of the whole Party, the entire army and all the people around the leader constitutes today a sure guarantee for the political stability and solidity of our state and society and a powerful force that defends the socialist country and dynamically propels the revolution and construction.

Our socialism is an independent socialism strong in the Juche character and national identity.

The Juche character is the nature of socialism, and independence in politics, self-sufficiency in the economy and self-reliance in national defence are the road to achieving the eternal victory and prosperity of our style of socialism. Independent politics makes it possible to formulate lines and policies in keeping with the fundamental principles of the revolution and the people’s demand for and interests in independence and consistently implement them however difficult and complicated the situation may be, so as to lead the revolution and construction to victory, and to exercise complete sovereignty and equal rights in the external relations so as to exalt the dignity and might of the country. The self-supporting national economy and Juche-oriented national culture enable us to break through the cutting edge and build a scientific and technological power, a knowledge-based economic power, in the 21st century by dint of our strength, technology and resources, and to usher in a new golden age of culture and the arts. The self-reliant defence capabilities with the Korean People’s Army as the core reliably defend the socialist motherland from imperialist aggression, provide a definite military guarantee for the building of a thriving nation and ensure peace and security of the Korean peninsula and the rest of Asia.

To preserve the national identity, together with the Juche character, of the revolution and construction is a fundamental principle in the implementing of the socialist cause. Kim Il Sung ensured for the first time that the socialist cause was combined with the cause of national independence and the whole course of socialist construction was turned into the course of bringing the excellent traditions and culture of the nation into bloom. Our socialist motherland is a genuine country of the people, a country of national independence, which thoroughly defends the demands and interests of the working masses, sustains the excellent qualities of the nation and satisfies the requirements and interests of the nation.

By successfully solving the problem of carrying forward the revolutionary cause, Kim Il Sung provided a sure guarantee for inheriting and completing the revolutionary cause of Juche with credit through generations and through centuries.

He regarded this problem not simply as a problem of handing over the leadership position at the time when a generation of the revolution is being replaced by another, but as an important problem of preserving and developing the revolutionary ideas and cause of the leader through generations and of deciding the future destiny of the revolution. From this point of view, he paid special attention to solving the problem.

He clarified that what is fundamental in ensuring the continuity of the revolutionary cause is a problem of the successor to the leader, and solved it perfectly. Along with this, he paid special attention to the work of inheriting and developing the revolutionary traditions in their pure form and preparing the younger generations as stalwart heirs to the revolution, and ensured that the work bore a brilliant fruition. His extraordinary foresight and sagacious leadership created a brilliant example of solving the problem of carrying forward the revolutionary cause.

Today the officers and men of our People’s Army, the youths and other people are waging a worthwhile struggle to build a thriving socialist nation and accomplish the Juche revolutionary cause along the road of Juche that the forerunners of the revolution pioneered at the cost of their blood, and are full of confidence in a brighter future.

Having set national reunification as the supreme patriotic cause of the nation, Kim Il Sung devoted his all to strengthening and developing the movement for national reunification, and handed down brilliant exploits for the realization of the long-cherished desire of the nation.

By formulating the three charters for national reunification, he had laid solid foundations, on which all the Korean people in the north, south and abroad could form a powerful driving force of national reunification, and put an end to the interference of outside forces and hasten the independent reunification of the country by their concerted efforts. Thanks to his valuable heritage for realizing the cause of national reunification, the national reunification movement today is vigorously advancing along the road of independent reunification even in the grave situation created by the extreme anti-reunification manoeuvres of separatist forces within and without.

Through the energetic external activities Kim Il Sung made a great contribution to the achievement of the cause of global independence. He worked actively under the banner of independence, the banner of international justice, to check and frustrate the dominationist moves of the imperialist reactionaries, to strengthen and develop the socialist movement of the world, to achieve the victory of the cause of anti-imperialist independence, to establish independent and fair international relations and to achieve peace and security of the world, thus making undying achievements.

History proves that only when Kim Il Sung’s ideas and achievements are held fast to, can the cause of independence of the masses, the socialist cause of Juche, advance victoriously and be implemented with success.

Kim Il Sung, who authored the guiding ideology of the independent era and laid an eternal cornerstone for the accomplishment of the cause of independence of the masses, the socialist cause, will always live as the great leader of the people, as the Sun of Juche.

That Kim Il Sung is eternal as the Sun of Juche and the 100-year history of Juche Korea shines together with his august name is the fruition born of the efforts Kim Jong Il made to staunchly defend his ideas and cause and wisely lead the struggle for their realization.

Kim Jong Il was the closest revolutionary comrade and the most faithful revolutionary comrade-in-arms of Kim Il Sung, who held the latter in high esteem, regarding it as his lifelong mission to defend his ideas and cause and exalt their brilliance.

He formulated Kim Il Sung’s revolutionary ideas as Kimilsungism and put forward the modelling of the whole society on Kimilsungism as the highest programme of our Party and revolution, thus bringing about a revolutionary change in accomplishing the Juche revolutionary cause.

He ensured that Kimilsungism shone more brilliantly as an immortal revolutionary ideology with great vitality and eternal life by continuously developing Kim Il Sung’s revolutionary ideas as required by the times and the developing revolution through energetic ideological and theoretical activities. He sagaciously led the efforts to model the whole society on Kimilsungism to develop our Party and army into the ever-victorious party and army of Kim Il Sung, and remarkably strengthened the might of the motive force of our revolution by rallying the masses closely behind the Party. The efforts made under his leadership ushered in the golden age of the Workers’ Party in the political, military, economic, cultural and all other fields.

The General brilliantly carried out the cause of immortalizing the leader for the first time in history, with the result that our Party and people could add lustre to the sacred revolutionary career and undying revolutionary exploits of Kim Il Sung through generations, holding him in high esteem as their eternal leader. Proceeding from the fundamental requirement of our revolution and with the noblest moral obligation, he ensured that our Party and people held Kim Il Sung up as their eternal leader, as the eternal President of the DPRK, and, regarding his instructions as the programme of the Party, roused the whole Party, the entire army and all the people to their  implementation.  Thanks  to  his  ennobling  loyalty,  moral  obligation  and  great devotion, Kim Il Sung is always with our people and his revolutionary career continues without letup on this land.

Kim Jong Il defended the dignity and supreme interests of our country and nation, and developed our country of Juche, our socialist motherland, into an invincible socialist country by relying on powerful arms under the banner of Songun.

In the 90s of the previous century, when our country was faced with severe ordeals, he formulated Songun politics as the basic mode of socialist politics, and, by dint of Songun, not only reliably safeguarded our country and socialism but raised our country securely to the position of a politico-ideological power and a military power and opened up a new era of building a thriving socialist nation. Songun politics is an ever-victorious politics which fully guarantees the triumphant advance of the socialist cause of Juche by realizing Kim Il Sung’s political ideals of socialism–independence, democracy, unity and benevolence–even amidst the acutest showdown with the imperialist reactionaries, and an almighty sword that makes it possible to vigorously speed up the revolution and construction true to his instructions.

Regarding military affairs as the most important of all state affairs, the General brought up our army into the formidable revolutionary armed forces and developed our motherland into a self-defensive military power that no aggressive forces dare attack. And by developing our army into the main force of the revolution that takes the lead in supporting the Party’s leadership, he achieved the harmonious whole between the Party and the army and the great unity between the service personnel and the people, thus consolidating the foundation of our society rock-firm.

He continued his forced march of field guidance without resting for a moment for the prosperity of the country and for the well-being of the people, in the course of which he kindled the flames of a new great revolutionary upsurge throughout the country. Thanks to his tireless and energetic leadership, the national economy was put on a Juche-oriented, modern and scientific footing on a higher level, the foundations for bringing about a turn in the improvement of the people’s living standards were laid, and the building of socialist culture greeted a new golden age.

It is a century’s miracle wrought by Kim Jong Il’s Songun politics that our small country has firmly defended socialism and is exalting its dignity and might as a political and military power and leaping forward towards the status of an economic giant of our style in the grim situation, in which the imperialists and all other reactionaries are intensifying their manoeuvres as never before to isolate and stifle it.

True to Kim Il Sung’s instructions, Kim Jong Il opened the June 15 reunification era and a new phase in the development of foreign relations by his strenuous leadership.

Thanks to his unusual wisdom, unexcelled leadership ability, iron will and superhuman devotion, our socialist country, Songun Korea, is shining its brilliance all  over  the  world  along  with  the  august  name  of
Kim Il Sung, and our people have become a dignified people who are shaping their destiny on their own terms as they are filled with infinite national pride and self-confidence.

As there was Kim Jong Il, Kim Il Sung lives forever in the hearts of our people and progressive peoples of the world as the Sun of Juche and the 100-year history of Juche Korea shines more brilliantly.

The 100-year history of Juche Korea is the most sacred and glorious history resplendent with the august names and immortal revolutionary exploits of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, the great leaders of our Party and people.

The course of history Kim Il Sung’s nation, Kim Jong Il’s Korea, has traversed is a glorious course along which our revolution has won victory up to now since its start on Mt. Paektu, and it is just the road to eternal victory and national prosperity, the road which we must continue to follow to achieve the final victory.

To hold Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in high esteem for all ages and creditably carry forward and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche bequeathed by them is the revolutionary duty and noble moral obligation of our Party and people.

The times may pass and we may encounter ordeals, but we must invariably advance along the road of independence, the road of Songun and the road of socialism, which Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il followed throughout their life, and thus fulfil the mission and duty as befits the descendants of Kim Il Sung and soldiers and devoted followers of Kim Jong Il.

Cherishing the absolute and immutable faith that Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il will always be with us, we must staunchly safeguard their ideas and achievements and add eternal brilliance to them.

We must raise Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the one and only guiding ideology and permanent guidelines of the revolution and advance the revolution and construction as demanded by it.

We must continuously develop our Party, state and army into those of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. In the building up of the Party, state and revolutionary armed forces, we must carry forward their ideas and achievements in their entirety, and build them up, from beginning to end, in the way they did.

All sectors and units must add brilliance to the leadership exploits of the great leaders associated with the respective sectors and units and carry out their instructions so as to translate their lifetime intentions and wishes into reality.

We must achieve a fresh victory in the building of a thriving socialist nation by waging a general offensive under the leadership of the Party.

It is necessary to defend firmly and consolidate rock-solid the single-hearted unity between the Party and the revolutionary ranks, so as to demonstrate the might of the political and ideological power, strengthen the People’s Army further and build up defences of the country so that they are impregnable.

All sectors and units of the national economy must bring about a fresh upsurge in production and construction by making the flames of Hamnam and the flames of the industrial revolution in the new century kindled by Kim Jong Il flare up more fiercely, and, in particular, make a decisive turn in the efforts for improving the people’s standard of living.

We must creditably carry forward the ideas of the great leaders on building Juche-oriented culture and the exploits they achieved in this regard, so as to display the superiority and validity of the socialist culture of our own style.

In the general offensive for the building of a thriving socialist nation, the Party, working people’s organizations and power organs must decisively enhance their role, and all the officials must fulfil their responsibility and duty as the commanding personnel of the revolution.

We must carry out the ennobling patriotic intentions and behests of the great leaders so as to realize the historic cause of national reunification without fail. We must expand and develop the external relations of the country under the principles of independence, peace and friendship and render active contributions to the cause of global independence.

Our Party, army and  people  will  faithfully  carry  forward  the  ideas  and  cause  of  Kim Il Sung  and
Kim Jong Il and accomplish their revolutionary cause of Juche by holding high the banner of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.

The great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il will always be with us.
