London 31st of August Juche 101(2012)
The ASSPUK and JISGE today issued a joint statement on the 64th anniversary of the foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on the 9th of September.
We Juche idea and Songun idea followers of the UK salute the 64th anniversary of the foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea . The foundation of the DPRK was the first step in the road of Juche-orientated state building . The DPRK was founded on the 9th of September 1948 by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung as a pure manifestation of the will of the entire Korean people north and south. The DPRK is the only legitimate state in Korea as it was founded by the will of the Korean people. The DPRK is the fruit of the anti-Japanese armed struggle led by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. Under the leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung the Korean people solved the question of power which is the most pressing question in the revolution .

The foundation of the DPRK was a powerful inspiration to the oppressed peoples of of the world ,groaning under imperialist oppression, in their struggle for independence and national liberation. It was also a great inspiration to the international proletariat advancing towards socialism .

The DPRK under the wise leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung fully completed the tasks of the anti-imperialist , anti- feudal democratic revolution in a short space of time and switched over to the socialist revolution proving the validity of the Juche-orientated theory on continuous revolution . The DPRK is not a replica of another country and pursues independent Juche-orientated policies. It is based firmly on the principles of independence, self-sufficiency and self-defence . As dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un said

"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."

Under the wise leadership of President Kim Il Sung the DPRK created a people-centred socialist system in which there is no exploitation and oppression . The improvement of the people's living standards is the supreme principle of state activity and this is underpinned by legalisation. The DPRK introduced free medical and free education. It abolished taxation in 1974. The DPRK is a people's paradise.

Today under the leadership of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un the DPRK is
upholding the Songun revolutionary line under the uplifted banner of the Juche idea. The people are united solidly around the leader and the Party . The DPRK under the leadership of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is defeating the provocations, pressure and state-sponsored terrorism of the US and advancing towards a thriving prosperous socialist country and national reunification.

DPRK Terms U.S. Hostile Policy Main Obstacle in Resolving Nuclear Issue

Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released a memorandum Friday, terming the U.S. hostile policy towards DPRK the main obstacle in resolving the nuclear issue.
Following is the full text of the memorandum:
On July 20 last, the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) announced that it has reached the point of having to completely reexamine the nuclear issue due to the continued U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK.
The U.S. hostile policy is the root cause that has turned the Korean peninsula into the most dangerous hotspot in the world and it is also the main obstacle to durable peace and stability.
The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula is none other than the outcome of the U.S. hostile policy and therefore, only when the U.S. abandons its hostile policy, will it be possible to resolve the issue.
The Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of the DPRK issues the following memorandum to shed light on the contrast between the U.S. claim of having no hostile intent towards the DPRK and its actual behavior.
1. The hostile concept that blocks the settlement of the nuclear issue
An important agreement was announced on February 29, 2012 as a result of the high-level talks between the DPRK and U.S. The U.S. reaffirmed that "it no longer has hostile intent towards the DPRK and that it is prepared to take steps to improve the bilateral relations in the spirit of mutual respect for sovereignty and equality and agreed to provide a substantive amount of food assistance to the DPRK. The DPRK, considering the concerns of the U.S., agreed to a moratorium on nuclear tests, long-range missile launches and uranium enrichment activity while productive dialogues continue.
However, when the DPRK launched the "Kwangmyongsong 3”, an artificial satellite for peaceful purposes, on April 13 last, the U.S. took issue with it, arguing that the space launch was based on the same technology with the long-range missile launch and went ahead with unilaterally abrogating the February 29 Agreement, upgrading sanctions on the DPRK.
It is true that both satellite carrier rocket and missile with warhead use the similar technology. However, when other countries conduct satellite launch, the U.S. neither takes an issue with any of it, calling it a missile launch, nor takes actions like imposing sanctions. The U.S. saw our satellite carrier rocket as a long-range missile that would one day reach the U.S. because it regards the DPRK as an enemy.
That is the reason why the ever-first agreement reached between the DPRK and the U.S. since the Obama administration took office ended up with failure as other previous DPRK-U.S. agreements.
At the beginning of DPRK-U.S. bilateral talks held during the Clinton administration, the U.S. pledged on “assurances against the threat and use of force, including nuclear weapons.” (DPRK-U.S. Joint Statement, June 11, 1993)
At the final stage of the bilateral talks, the U.S. agreed to “move towards full normalization of the political and economic relations” with the DPRK. (DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework, October 21, 1994)
The U.S. also declared that it would not have hostile intent towards the DPRK. (DPRK-U.S. Joint Communique, October 12, 2000)
However, all these commitments were not honored but were broken off overnight with the change of each U.S. administration.
The Bush administration turned down all the DPRK-U.S. agreements reached during the Clinton administration, listed the DPRK as an "axis of evil" and singled it out as a target of preemptive nuclear strike. (State of the Union Address, January 30, 2002 and Nuclear Posture Review, March 2002)
The extremely dangerous hostile policy pursued by the Bush administration forced the DPRK to withdraw completely from the NPT and direct its peaceful nuclear power industry for producing electricity to the building-up of self-defensive nuclear deterrent.
At the six-party talks, the U.S. affirmed that it has "no intention to attack or invade the DPRK with nuclear or conventional weapons". (Joint Statement of the Six-Party Talks, September 19, 2005)
As action steps to implement the September 19 Joint Statement, the U.S. gave assurances that it would improve the relations with the DPRK and move towards the full diplomatic relations. (Six-Party Talks Agreements, February 13 and October 3, 2007)
However, four years has elapsed since the last round of the six-party talks, which was held in December 2008 and it is not yet resumed. During the intervening time, the level of U.S. hostility towards the DPRK was not lowered but further increased.
The first step the Obama administration took towards the DPRK was taking issue with the DPRK's launch of peaceful satellite “Kwangmyongsong 2”.
The U.S. extreme hostile policy aimed at depriving the DPRK of its sovereign right for peaceful use of the outer space, the right recognized by international law, called upon the DPRK's self-defensive response, namely another nuclear test. It again led to the repetition of the vicious cycle of mistrust and confrontation; the U.S. imposed ever-harsh sanctions on the DPRK and the DPRK responded by starting the construction of light-water reactor (LWR) on its own and the production of enriched uranium to meet the fuel need for the LWR.
The reality proves that unless the long held hostile concept of the U.S. towards the DPRK is rooted out as a whole, nothing can be resolved but the confrontation and the risk of conflict would rather increase.
In the early stages of the DPRK-U.S. talks, the DPRK maintained that the U.S. should first abandon its hostile policy, in order to resolve the nuclear issue, whereas the U.S. insisted that the DPRK should first give up its nuclear program in order to normalize the DPRK-U.S. relations.
In the process, thanks to the sincerity and generosity of the DPRK, the principle of simultaneous action steps, known as "word for word" and "action for action", was agreed upon and served as the basis for the dialogue.
The 20 year-long history of the talks between the DPRK and the U.S. has shown that even the principle of simultaneous action steps is not workable unless the hostile concept of the U.S. towards the DPRK is removed.
2. The root of the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK
The hostile policy of the U.S. towards the DPRK has deep historical roots.
Post-war generation in the U.S. and other countries has no proper understanding of the historical roots of the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK; they do not know the fact that the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula stems from the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK and even misunderstand that the U.S. is hostile to the DPRK because of the nuclear issue.
The fact is that the U.S. hostility towards the DPRK is not based on the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula. The DPRK had no other choice but to develop nuclear weapons, because of the hostile policy and the increasing nuclear threat from the U.S. which is the world's biggest nuclear power.
From the very beginning, the U.S. defined the DPRK as an enemy and refused to recognize its sovereignty. The U.S. continued to step up its hostile moves against the DPRK, with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the political system of our people's choice.
The institutional and legal mechanism against the DPRK has been in place long before the rise of the nuclear issue. Military attacks and nuclear threats aimed at eliminating our ideology and system have been openly committed, and economic sanctions and international pressure for isolating and suffocating the DPRK have been persistent.
The end of World War II meant the beginning of the Cold War between the East and the West.
The U.S. needed a bridgehead to contain the "southward expansion" of the then Soviet Union and to make an inroad into the Eurasian continent. It was out of this requirement that the U.S. hurriedly drew a line along the 38th parallel before the surrender of Japan in order to secure that bridgehead. This led to the tragic division of the Korean nation and its territory.
For the U.S. engaged in the Cold War, the area south of the 38th parallel was its ally and that north of it was the enemy.
It is a general international practice for the states to establish diplomatic relations with new independent sovereign state. The establishment of diplomatic relations between countries does not necessarily mean specially favorable sentiment or close friendship; it is an indication of political stand that they regard each other as an equal part of the international community.
Despite the differences in political ideology and system, the U.S. established diplomatic relations with the former Soviet Union as well as other socialist countries in the Eastern Europe. However, the U.S. refused even to call the DPRK by its official name, to say nothing of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
The UN recognized the sovereignty of the DPRK when it joined it in 1991. The DPRK currently maintains diplomatic relations with 166 countries which account for about 86 per cent of the UN membership. The U.S., however, refuses to recognize the DPRK as a sovereign state with whom it may co-exist in the international community.
Out of 193 member states of the UN, only the DPRK, together with Iran and Cuba have no diplomatic ties with the U.S. This clearly shows that the U.S. pursues extremely hostile policy towards these countries – unprecedented case in the history of contemporary international relations.
Hostile policy of the U.S. towards the DPRK finds its most clear expression in military area.
The DPRK and the U.S. have been technically at war against each other for more than sixty years even after the end of war; no comparable example can be found in the modern history.
The Korean Armistice Agreement concluded on July 27, 1953, is by no means an agreement that officially ended the war. Nor is it a lasting peace treaty. The Korean Armistice Agreement was the transitional measure aimed at withdrawing all foreign troops from the Korean Peninsula and ensuring permanent peace.
However, the U.S. deliberately chose to prolong the status of armistice.
In November 1953, the U.S. defined as its ultimate goal on the Korean Peninsula to maintain the ceasefire regime, to make south Korea its "military ally" and prevent the spread of communism across the entire Korean Peninsula until "pro-U.S. unification" is achieved. (US NSC Resolution No. 170)
Accordingly, the U.S. intentionally broke off the Geneva conference on peaceful resolution of the Korean issue in June 1954 and violated and nullified the key provisions of the Korean Armistice Agreement step by step by introducing modern military equipment including nuclear weapons into south Korea and by stepping up aggressive military exercises.
The U.S. turned down numerous peace proposals and initiatives put forward by the Government of the DPRK, such as the proposal for the conclusion of a peace treaty between the DPRK and the U.S. (1970s), tripartite talks proposal to include south Korea in the DPRK-U.S. talks (1980s), proposal for establishing a new peace mechanism (1990s).
The DPRK, China, U.S. and south Korea sat for the four-party talks in the late 1990s to set up a lasting peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. However, the talks could not produce any result, due to the absence of sincerity on the U.S. side.
At the beginning of the new century, the DPRK proposed that the signatories to the Korean Armistice Agreement sit together to discuss on declaring the end of the war and that the talks should be held to replace the Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty on the occasion of the 60th year of the Korean War outbreak. (Declaration for the development of North-South relations and peace and prosperity, October 4, 2007 and Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK, January 11, 2010). However, the U.S. turned a blind eye to all the above proposals.
The U.S. remains unchanged in its dogged position as regards the peace proposals of the DPRK; the U.S. position is that the conclusion of peace treaty is premature and the ceasefire regime is to be maintained. This means that the U.S. would continue to regard the DPRK as its enemy and warring party.
The U.S. has an array of different categories of war plans and scenarios targeting the DPRK, such as "OPLAN 5029", "OPLAN 5030", "OPLAN 5012", etc.; all these plans are for making the armed invasion of the DPRK and setting up its military rule.
It is pursuant to these war plans that the U.S. keeps on conducting various kinds of joint military exercises, such as "Focus Retina", "Freedom Bolt", "Team Spirit", "RSOI", "Key Resolve", "Foal Eagle", "Ulji Freedom Guardian", etc. All the above exercises seek to achieve the same goal but are conducted in different names.
The U.S. economic sanctions against the DPRK are an important tool for the pursuit of its long-standing hostile policy towards the DPRK.
The U.S. curtails trade with the DPRK and imposes all sorts of economic sanctions on such accusations that DPRK threatens regional stability, does not cooperate with the U.S. in its anti-terrorism efforts, engage in proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and that the DPRK is communist state, nonmarket economy, etc. (U.S. Congressional Research Service Report, April 25, 2011)
In particular, economic sanctions imposed on the DPRK before the rise of the nuclear issue have nothing to do with the nuclear issue and merely reflect the U.S. hostile concept towards the DPRK.
Having defined the DPRK as a "Marxist-Leninist state with a communist government", the U.S. has long maintained sanctions against the DPRK. (Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended, and Foreign Assistance Act of 1961)
The U.S. began to apply the Trading with the Enemy Act to the DPRK from December 1950. A few days later, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued Foreign Assets Control Regulations to forbid any financial transactions involving, or on behalf of, the DPRK.
On June 26, 2008, more than half a century later, the then U.S. President Bush took measures to terminate the application of the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA) as regards the DPRK, pursuant to the agreement reached at the six-party talks. However, on the same day, Bush declared a state of emergency, saying that the weapons-usable fissile material in the possession of the DPRK constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the security of the U.S. and that other provisions of sanctions on the DPRK should remain effective under the terms of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act. It meant that all property and interests of the DPRK which had been blocked as of June 16, 2000, would remain to be blocked and that a U.S. national would not be allowed to register, own, lease, operate or insure a vessel flagged by the DPRK.
The effectiveness of this measure has been intensified and extended annually by Obama who issued two Executive Orders – i.e. No. 13551 (August, 2010), and No. 13570 (April, 2011). It means that the Trading with the Enemy Act – nominally no longer applicable to the DPRK – actually continues to maintain its effect under different name.
The Trade Agreement Extension Act of the U.S. required the suspension of Most-Favored-Nation trade status for all communist countries. However, this Act was applied to the DPRK as early as September 1, 1951 – long before the establishment of the socialist system in the DPRK. As a result, the DPRK was denied normal trade relations with the U.S.
The DPRK tops the list of countries to which the U.S. applies highest rate of tariff. It means that the DPRK would have to pay the highest tariff if it is to export its products to the U.S. The DPRK and Cuba are the only countries to which the U.S. applies this rule. The Trade Act of 1974 defined the DPRK as a communist state. Therefore, the DPRK is denied mutually preferential treatment in trade relations with the U.S.
The extent of obsession with the hostile concept towards the DPRK on the part of the U.S. finds its clear expression in the terms and provisions of the U.S.-instigated United Nations Security Council resolution adopted in the wake of the DPRK's first nuclear test. The U.S. sneaked a provision that banned export and import of luxury goods as regards the DPRK – a provision that has no relevance at all to the nuclear issue – in the resolution and rushed it through. It was a mean and foolish plot to undermine the reputation of our supreme leadership and drive a wedge between the leadership and our people.
Although the U.S. nominally removed the designation of the DPRK from the list of state sponsors of terrorism on October 11, 2008, under the agreement reached in the course of the six-party talks, no sanctions on the DPRK had actually been eased or lifted in effect because those sanctions are overlapped by the different U.S. domestic laws under different pretexts.
The sanctions listed above are only a tip of the iceberg of the economic sanctions which the U.S. applies to the DPRK.
According to the 2006 statistics published by the U.S. Congressional Research Service, the U.S. imposes some forty different kinds of sanctions on the DPRK; however, only a quarter or so of these sanctions are based on the different political system.
The remaining three quarters of the sanctions – sanctions under the pretext of "threat to the security of the U.S.", "proliferation of WMD", "sponsor of terrorism", "human rights", "religious freedom", "money laundering", "missile development", "human trafficking", etc., many of which are based on absurd allegations – are applied at the discretion of the U.S. President or relevant departments of the U.S. administration.
It points to the unjustifiable discrepancy between the words and deeds of the U.S. administration that claims to having "no hostile intent".
Since the roots remain to be there, it takes more than words to remove them, the hostile concept.
3. To Renounce the Hostile Policy is a Prerequisite for the Settlement of Nuclear Issue
The U.S. hostile policy pursued by the U.S. makes the prospect of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula all the more gloomy.
At present stage, there is no possibility of the U.S. giving up its hostile policy towards the DPRK. The actions taken by the U.S. towards the DPRK gets more hostile day by day, despite the claims made by the U.S. authorities that they have "no hostile intent" towards the DPRK.
In April this year, they flagrantly violated the sovereignty of the DPRK by unjustly challenging our peaceful satellite launch. In the wake of this, there occurred an unprecedented incident; the U.S. army stationed in south Korea fired live bullets to the DPRK national flag, taking it as the target.
This was followed by the extreme provocative action on the part of the U.S. intelligence institution which manipulated south Korean intelligence plot-breeding agency to fabricate the plot to demolish statues of the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu. At the same time, the bilateral and tripartite aggression war exercises are on the increase between the U.S. and its followers in and around the Korean Peninsula and their offensive nature and scope are steadily expanded and strengthened.
All facts show that the intensity of the U.S. hostility towards the DPRK is being escalated.
This has a nexus with the U.S. new defense strategy made public by the Obama administration on January 5, 2012.
This strategy envisages increasing the U.S. armed forces in the Asia-Pacific region to the level of 60 per cent of all its military stationed abroad by way of drawing down 10 percent of its armed forces stationed in Europe by 2020.
In general, the arms build up necessitates justification of the "existence or threat of the enemy". The only country that the U.S. can consider as its enemy in Northeast Asia is the DPRK. Each of big countries normally would not describe the other as an enemy. It means that the U.S. will perceive the DPRK as its enemy for the purpose of augmenting its armed forces for such a long time so as to realize its new defense strategy.
In addition, the new defense strategy does not guarantee that the U.S. will not occupy the whole Korean Peninsula through a direct armed invasion, in order to form its military encirclement around the big countries in Eurasia.
The prevailing situation urges the DPRK to prevent the recurrence of war in the Korean Peninsula by all means and make up thoroughgoing preparations to wage a war for national reunification, in case the war is inevitably forced upon us.
This is the motive and backdrop for us to completely reexamine our nuclear issue.
The U.S. has two ways.
One way is to make bold and fundamental change in its cold war mindset to renounce its anachronistic policy toward the DPRK, and thus contribute to the peace and security in the Korean Peninsula and pave the way for ensuring its own security.
If the U.S. shows such courage in action, we will be willing to respond to it.
The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il said on August 4, 1997 that we did not intend to regard the U.S. as the sworn enemy but wished for the normalization of the DPRK-U.S. relations.
The respected Marshal Kim Jong Un wants to open up a new chapter for the development of relations with the countries friendly towards us, unbound to the past.
Another way is to continue down the U.S. hostile policy as of today, resulting in further expanding and building up of the DPRK's nuclear arsenal.
If the U.S. seeks to meet its further interests at the cost of sacrificing the DPRK's interests, it will be inevitably met by strong response from the DPRK.
The DPRK has already emerged as a full-fledged nuclear weapons state, and the era when the U.S. threatened the DPRK with atomic bomb has gone by. We will not sit idle watching the increased hostile moves of the U.S. but will make every effort to defend the destiny of the country and the nation.
It will be a great mistake to regard our strong position as a kind of tactics.
We opted for building up nuclear deterrent, not because we wanted to trade it off for something but because we had to counter off the moves of the U.S., the biggest nuclear power in the world, aimed at eliminating the DPRK.
Our nuclear deterrent for self-defense is a treasured sword that prevents war and ensures peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
If the U.S. does not make a right choice, the DPRK's nuclear possession will inevitably be prolonged, modernizing and expanding its nuclear deterrent capability beyond the U.S. imagination.

5th edition of "Behind the Mirror of Lies" published

UK KFA , JISGE and ASSPUK denounce US imperialism's grave war crime against the DPRK

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
                       London 30th August 2012

Today the UK Korean Friendship Association together with the Juche Idea Study Group of England and Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK issued the following commentary on the recent revelations that the US imperialists planned to use radioactive materials against the DPRK during the last Korean War(1950-1953).
The recently declassified FBI report of April 1951 has lifted the lid on US imperialism's crimes against the DPRK, the Korean nation and humanity. It showed that the US imperialists who were unable to subdue the heroic Korean People's Army by military and technological superiority planned to use a dirty
weapon against the Korean people in order to halt the advance of the KPA and divide Korea. The US imperialists planned to create a "no man " zone or death zone across Korea by spraying radioactive materials .
                            This plan was a war crime of great magnitude . It joins the list of US war crimes in Korea which include; biological warfare, use of chemical
weapons including napalm, massacre of civilians such as Sinchon Ri , and
saturation bombing-
The recent revelation just goes to prove that the US is war criminal state and a perpetrator of state terrorism against innocent people. Indeed US imperialism is the chieftain of world imperialism, the most barbarous aggressor, destroyer of world peace and strangler of national independence. The US imperialists are the sworn enemy of the Korean people and of all humankind .

The US must apoligise for its grave crimes in Korea and withdraw its troops from the south of Korea.
   Given the nature of the US threat against the DPRK it is only correct and just for the DPRK to continually boost its nuclear deterrent force.

ASSPUK and JISGE joint statement in support of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un's August 25th speech and order to reunify the country

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK

                             London 30th August Juche 101 (2012)
Today the ASSPUK and JISGE issued a joint statement in support of the speech made by the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army , First secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK , on August 25th which clarified the will of the WPK to build a thriving reunified nation holding the arms of Songun tightly.
                          In the speech the dear respected leader Marshal Kim Jong Un praised the Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il which had started on August 25th at the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su no 105 tank division of the KPA. He said that August 25th is as important as April 25th the day of the foundation of the KPA.
                         These speech was made not in Pyongyang but in a frontline area the eastern sector of the front. Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is not an armchair general but a man of action and great commander who visits frontline areas regardless of the safety of his own life. On August 18 he inspected Jangjae islet in the West Sea right under the nose of the US imperialists and south Korean puppets. He gave the order for the KPA to mount a decisive retaliatory strike should even a shell fall on the territory of the DPRK and that the KPA should lead a war for national reunification.
                   In his August 25th speech the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un referrred to the order he given already . He said
"counter a provocation with a prompt counterattack and a war of aggression with a great, just war for national reunification!' This is our principled stand and steadfast will.
We will not remain an onlooker to the enemies' frantic moves for aggression but make every possible effort to protect the destiny of the country and the nation.
It is the truth proved by history that no force on earth can overpower the people who are all out for the cause of justice.
If another war breaks out on this land due to the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces' intolerable actions, though we do not want it, the war will only bring a shameless doom to them and our great nation will greet a new bright day of national reunification."

Thus dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un clarified the will of the KPA and Korean people to reunify Korea if the US imperialists and south Korean puppets dare to attack the DPRK. If such a war broke it would become a sacred national reunification war , a war of liberation. 67 years of cruel national division would be over and the south Korean people liberated from the oppression and exploitation of US imperialism .
This would be a great victory not only for the Korean people but for the entire world revolutionary movement, the anti imperialist independent liberation forces
and international communist movement !
This is a powerful militant , revolutionary and anti-imperialist speech that inspires us Juche idea and Songun idea followers of the UK . We must and will study it in detail

KCNA Commentary Slams U.S. Criminal Scenario to Use Radioactive Substance against DPRK

Pyongyang, August 29 (KCNA) -- Disclosed recently was new evidence proving the U.S. criminal nuclear scenario against the Korean nation.
This was a report worked out by the FBI in April of 1951. This reflected the U.S. criminal nuclear plan to massively spray radioactive materials in the area dividing the Korean Peninsula during the Korean War and form "a no man zone."
McArthur, commander of the U.S forces in the Far East, blustered in December of 1950 that this would form a radioactive corridor from the East Sea to the West Sea off North Korea and there would be no living things in 60 or 120 years to come in the zone. The above-said disclosure will be more material evidence showing how his outbursts were put into practice.
The U.S. plan was the most unpardonable scenario to keep the Korean nation and territory divided physically for good as it was a criminal nuclear scenario for massacre unprecedented in the history of wars.
The U.S. is the sworn enemy which has pursued vicious moves to perpetuate the national split and posed a nuclear threat to the nation for the last several decades.
Before the defeat of the Japanese imperialists in August of 1945 the U.S. raised such brigandish issue as "sharing operational commitments" for disarming Japanese troops in Korea, finally bisecting the inviolable territory of the nation into two parts with the 38th Parallel as a demarcation line.
It set up a separate puppet government headed by Syngman Rhee in a bid to freeze the split of the Korean nation and attempted to use even A-bombs in the Korean War.
The U.S. worked hard to perpetuate the division, opposed to the reunification of Korea, warning its south Korean puppet clique after the publication of the July 4 North-South Joint Statement early in the 1970s that the inter-Korean dialogue is fraught with the great danger of going bust and there is no option but to establish a high-handed system to gain edge in the stand-off with the north and freeze the present division.
It has escalated its moves to stifle the DPRK by building the so-called "high-handed system" which puts main emphasis on the deployment of lots of nukes in south Korea and nuclear blackmail.
It is now reacting to the positive efforts of the DPRK to achieve the reunification of the country and realize the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula with the largest-ever maneuvers for a nuclear war codenamed Ulji Freedom Guardian.
The recently disclosed plan indicates that it was a crime against humanity unprecedented in history as the U.S. employed not only a political and military method in its moves for perpetuating the split of the Korean nation but a nuclear-physical method to bring irrevocable consequences to the existence and development of the nation.
The U.S. is the arch criminal that split the Korean nation and posed a nuclear threat to the world.
All facts once again prove how just the DPRK was when it had access to nuclear deterrent for self-defence and bolstered it up for the protection of national sovereignty and the peace and security of the peninsula.
The arrogant moves of the U.S. to disturb peace and security of Korea and the rest of the world with nukes are bound to go bust. -0-

Kim Jong Un Clarifies WPK′s Firm Will to Build Reunified Thriving Nation, Tightly Holding Arms of Songun

Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong Un made a speech at the banquet given in celebration of August 25, the anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of the Songun revolutionary leadership.
He said August 25 marks the 52nd anniversary of great Generalissimo Kim Jong Il's start of the Songun revolutionary leadership, adding that Kim Jong Il, totally dedicating himself with his patriotic will, holding high the banner of Songun all his life, built up an invincible military power and provided the might of the great unity between the army and people to be envied by the whole world and thus placed the dignity of the country and its people on the highest level in the history of the nation. These exploits will remain shining forever, he stressed.
He, reflecting the unanimous desire of all the service personnel of the KPA and people, paid highest tribute and extended eternal glory to Kim Jong Il, who dedicated himself to Songun journeys for patriotic devotion to the country and its people, burning his heart with warmth and love for them all his life.
"I am pleased to be amongst you comrades-in-arms in the eastern sector of the front on this significant day at a time when the enemies are busy with provocative drills for a war of aggression under our nose," he said, and continued:
"August 25, along with April 25, is a historic day to go down in the history of the building of our revolutionary armed forces and the history of our country. The might of the KPA proud of being a powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu with tremendous capability and the dignity of our country, a world-class military power and a full-fledged nuclear weapons state, would be unthinkable without this day.
It is the firm determination and will of the Workers' Party of Korea to defend the security of the country and the gains of revolution and build a reunified thriving nation on this land, tightly holding the arms of Songun provided by Generalissimo Kim Jong Il with so much effort, making journeys for the Songun revolutionary leadership all his life.
The U.S. and the south Korean puppet army are staging large-scale war drills for aggression targeted against us even with forces of their allies involved, posing a grave threat to our security.
During my inspection of units on the forefront in the southwestern sector of the front I already issued an order to the KPA to keep itself highly alerted against the reckless moves of the enemies and follow them with high vigilance. If the enemies fire even a single shell on our inviolable territory and territorial waters, the KPA should deal prompt deadly blows at them and the whole army should turn out as one and lead the battle to an all-out counter-offensive for accomplishing the great cause of national reunification. I issued this order to the whole army and examined the operational plan for implementing it and finally signed it.
The courageous officers and men of the KPA, upon receiving this order, occupied their battle positions to cope with the reckless moves of the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces and are now waiting for a final order for charge for a life-and death-battle against the enemies.
There is a limit to our patience.
'Counter a provocation with a prompt counterattack and a war of aggression with a great, just war for national reunification!' This is our principled stand and steadfast will.
We will not remain an onlooker to the enemies' frantic moves for aggression but make every possible effort to protect the destiny of the country and the nation.
It is the truth proved by history that no force on earth can overpower the people who are all out for the cause of justice.
If another war breaks out on this land due to the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces' intolerable actions, though we do not want it, the war will only bring a shameless doom to them and our great nation will greet a new bright day of national reunification.
Only victory and glory will be in store for us advancing under the uplifted immortal banners bearing portraits of the great Comrade Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il with broad smile on their face.
Availing myself of this meaningful opportunity, I would like to renew once again the firm resolution to steadfastly and invariably keep to the path of Songun traversed by Comrade Kim Jong Il, arms in arms and shoulder to shoulder with you, for our country and revolution."
A rosy future is in store for the Korean people, he said, calling for holding more tightly the arms of revolution to protect their happiness and safety and the dignity of the power of Songun.
Kim Jong Un proposed a toast to the final victory of the revolutionary causes of Juche and Songun pioneered by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and led by them successfully, to the health of the commanders and commanding officers of combined units and all servicepersons present and to the victorious advance of the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu. -0-

ASSPUK and JISGE support statements of the DPRK Foreign Ministry and Panmunjom Mission of KPA

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLTICS UK

                                   London 25th of August Juche 101(2012)
The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK and the Juche Idea Study Group of England wish to fully voice our support for the statement issued by the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on the 20th of August and the statement issued by the Panmunjom mission of the Korean People's Army on the 21st of August.
                        The so-called 'Ulji Freedom Guardian ' exercise being staged by the US imperialists and south Korean fascist puppets along with a number of reactionary countries participating under the spurious title of "UN Command" has rendered the situation in Korea so tense that a war could break out at any moment.
'Ulji Freedom Guardian' by its nature and scale is a clear threat to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea . It is a dry run for the invasion of the DPRK and its occupation by the US. It is aimed at "regime change" , the destruction by force of the people-centred socialist system of Korean style based on the Juche idea.
                       It is only just that the KPA will be no longer bound by the Korean
Armistice Agremment as the US imperialists have driven a coach and horses through it yet again !
The will of the Korean People's Army and entire Korean people as clarified by the statement of the KPA Panmunjom Mission and the DPRK Foreign Ministry statement is to return fire if the US imperialists attack and not miss the opportunity to achieve national reunification the sacred desire of the Korean nation.
Dear respeced Marshal Kim Jong Un visited the frontline units in the West sea of Korea startling the imperialist world with his defiance. He has given the order for a retaliatory war for reunification if even a single shell lands in DPRK territory. We applaud this.
               Korea's division has gone for too long so the opportunity to reunify the country should not be missed. The land of south Korea would be cleansed of the hated US imperialists, sworn enemy of the Korean people and progressive humankind . It would be a powerful encouragement to the anti-imperialist national liberation movement all over the world. The Korean people would lose the demarcation line but gain total independence and reunification.
            People's Korea, the land of Songun and Juche, will defeat the US imperialists under the command of the great respected Marshal Kim Jong Un supreme commander of the Korean People's Army and will achieve reunification.

Love the Future!

Love the Future!
Love the future!—this is the slogan that has been upheld by socialist Korea in the whole course of its progress.
Kim Il Sung, founder of socialist Korea, enforced the free education, the first of its kind in the Korean history, for the children in the guerrilla bases during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle for national liberation.

In the days of building a new society under the difficult conditions after liberation (August 15, 1945) that everything ran short, he proposed the pencil production as one of the items on the agenda at the first session of the Provisional People’s Committee of North Korea.

During the fierce Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953) against the US aggression, he took measures that the state should take care of war orphans, while he himself looked after a bereaved child at the Supreme Headquarters of the Korean People’s Army.

He held on the policy of loving and caring for the rising generations in the days of postwar rehabilitation and socialist construction. He set forth the state policy of supplying school uniforms to all the students and schoolchildren in the latter half of the 1950s when the country was carrying out its rehabilitation on the ruins of war. He took a series of measures to educate all children of school age free of charge and build the schoolchildren’s palaces and Children’s Union camps in the best places throughout the country.

Kim Il Sung’s warm love and solicitude for the posterity was carried forward by Kim Jong Il. Kim Jong Il ensured that a branch school was set up for a single pupil on a lighthouse islet located in the northern tip of the country and a school commuter ran exclusively for a few schoolchildren in a remote mountain village.

Even in the days when all the Korean people wept tears of blood for the demise of Kim Il Sung (July 8, 1994) he ensured that the Songdowon International Children’s Camp and all other children’s camps opened for the children to enjoy their camp life and a helicopter flew to bring newly born triplets to the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital.
Kim Jong Il was most concerned for the children even in the latter half of 1990s when the country was at its worst, the people being compelled to overcome difficulties, caused by military threats and economic blockade of the US-led imperialist allied forces plus consecutive natural disasters unprecedented in its history. In the most difficult situation in which factories and railways suspended their operations, schools and kindergartens all across the country reverberated with the reading and singing of thechildren and scenic resorts of the country were filled with their merry laughters. Vans carrying soya milk continued to run.
Love the future!—this lofty idea of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il who devoted their all to the rising generation in their lifetime is brilliantly carried forward today by supreme leader Kim Jong Un. It was evinced by the celebrations of the 66th anniversary of the founding of the Korean Children’s Union (June 6, 1946) held in June in Pyongyang.
The celebrations were the greatest in their scope and depth, scale and duration. More than 20 000 sons and daughters of ordinary working people were invited to Pyongyang, and participated in colourful celebrations for several days while visiting several places in the city.
It is the Kim Jong Un’s thoroughgoing outlook on posterity that the rising generation are the reserves of the revolution and future masters of the country, so all of the best should be unsparingly provided to them. He himself took substantial measures for the celebrations of the 66th anniversary of the
founding of the KCU to be held in a grandest and most significant way and on a largest-ever scale. He gave detailed instructions as to the composition of the CU delegates, the scale and period of the celebrations, itinerary of visits, board and lodging and transport, and granted all special favours to them. He personally attended the joint national meeting of the Korean Children’s Union held in celebration of its 66th anniversary and delivered a congratulatory
speech. And he saw together with the CU delegates a concert “Love the Future!” specially prepared for the occasion by the Unhasu Orchestra and posed for a souvenir photo with them. Birthday spreads were given to more than 260 delegates during the celebrations and gifts were presented to all delegates thanks to the deep concern and warm love of Kim Jong Un who made
sure that they should keep the memory of their stay in Pyongyang throughout their life.
That is only an instance of his love for the children. Supreme leader Kim Jong Un makes every effort to provide the youth and children with better educational facilities and conditions for their cultural life in Pyongyang and all other parts
of the country so that they can learn and enjoy to their heart’s content. In recent days alone he paid visits to the Central Zoo, the amusement park in the Kaeson Youth Park and the reconstructed Children’s Department Store, Changjon Primary School, Kyongsang Kindergarten and Kyongsang Nursery in Changjon Street, and bestowed favours on the rising generation.

Korea is expecting another grand celebrations on coming Youth Day (August 28).
“Love the future!”
The future of Korea that holds fast to this slogan is sure to be bright and promising.

Spokesman for DPRK Foreign Ministry Slams Ulji Freedom Guardian

Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK Monday issued the following statement:
Dark clouds of a war are hanging over the Korean Peninsula in which the north and the south of Korea stand in the most acute military stand-off in the world.
The U.S. finally kicked off extremely provocative large-scale joint military exercises, defying the unanimous desire of the people at home and abroad for peace and stability on the peninsula.
Ulji Freedom Guardian, a military expression of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, is aimed at invading it, to all intents and purposes. Hurled into the war drills now under way across south Korea are huge aggression troops enough to fight a war according to the mode of an actual war to invade and seize the DPRK all of a sudden.
This large-scale saber-rattling kicked off by the U.S. in the wake of patronizing and instigating hideous hostile acts of the south Korean puppet regime to hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK is an undisguised military provocation.
In recent years the U.S. staged big joint military drills more often and in more intensive manner, pursuant to its new defense strategy to contain the DPRK and countries around it by force. The core of the new defense strategy calls for shifting the strategic focus to the Asia-Pacific region and putting Asia under control through massive arms buildup and military blackmail.
Its primary target is to bring down the DPRK by force and use the whole Korean Peninsula as a springboard for realizing the strategy to dominate Asia.
The prevailing situation requires the DPRK to bolster up the war deterrent physically and goes to prove that it was entirely just when it determined to fully reexamine the nuclear issue.
The DPRK's war deterrent serves as a just means for retaliation as it is capable of mercilessly punishing any aggressors no matter where they are on this earth.
This is an all-powerful treasured sword for protecting the sovereignty of the country and a powerful means for deterring the war on the Korean Peninsula. It also provides a firm guarantee for concentrating efforts on economic construction and the improvement of people's living standard.
It is a stark reality on the peninsula that talking alone cannot prevent a war.
The arms of the country guarantee its peace and prosperity.
The U.S. would be well advised to face up to the situation and roll back at once its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The U.S. persistent pursuance of its invariable hostile policy would only precipitate its miserable end.
It is the firm will of the army and people of the DPRK to counter the aggressors' preemptive firing with deadly counter-actions and achieve the country's reunification through this decisive war. -0-

KPA Panmunjom Mission Clarifies Its Stand to Not Miss Opportunity for Reunification

Pyongyang, August 21 (KCNA) -- The Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army issued the following statement Tuesday:
The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers finally kicked off Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises for aggression, defying strong public protest and denunciation at home and abroad.
They do not hide that the exercises are pursuant to "an actual war scenario" targeted against the DPRK.
Huge troops of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the south Korean puppet army have already set up positions in and around south Korea.
Even military personnel of those countries which took part in the last Korean war under the UN helmet are involved in the drills.
The war drills in the wake of the disclosure of the hideous state-sponsored and politically-motivated terrorism against the DPRK prove that the U.S. is the harasser of peace and provoker of a war in the new century that upsets the stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The south Korean puppet regime and other allies that are taking part in the U.S.-led saber-rattling are just poor stooges little different from sacrifice to their master.
The Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army clarifies as follows with a touch-and-go situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula:
1. The joint military drills of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet regime are the most undisguised and serious final-phase violation of the Korean Armistice Agreement (AA).
Paragraphs of the AA specify an unconditional halt to all arms buildup, large-scale military exercises and military provocations against the other side.
The armistice state that had been barely maintained in the unstable form of neither war nor peace by the peace-loving efforts of the DPRK has now turned into a catastrophic phase beyond control.
Now that the armistice state has been wantonly violated, the army and people of the DPRK state to the world that they have the right to do whatever they should do any time, not bound to the AA any longer.
All the actions of the army and people of the DPRK, not bound to the AA, will become merciless exercises of unpredictable and unimaginable physical strength.
2. The on-going joint military drills are a vicious challenge and violation of the peace on the Korean Peninsula.
We love and value peace.
But now that the enemies are set to harass peace on the Korean Peninsula and encroach upon the inviolable sovereignty of the DPRK by force of arms, the option to be taken by its army and people can not but be an indiscriminate counteraction.
As it has become clearer that the nation's sovereignty and peace which are more valuable than one's own life can be guaranteed only by arms, the army and people of the DPRK will take physical counteraction any moment, unhindered, to safeguard its sovereignty and peace.
3. The joint military drills are intolerable actions going against the Koreans' desire and wish for national reconciliation, unity and reunification.
It is the unanimous desire of all the Koreans to achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country through the national reconciliation and cooperation and by their concerted efforts under the banner of "By our nation itself".
Now that the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet regime counter the nation's cherished historic desire with military provocation, the DPRK can not but take the resolve to use force to defend the nation's reconciliation and unity and head for reunification.
The army of the DPRK has already finished the preparations to remove the root cause of all evils that stand in the way of the nation's reconciliation and unity by use of force for self-defence .
The situation shows that nothing has changed in the U.S. war policy of antagonizing the DPRK and only the great war of reunification remains to be done to settle accounts with them by the use of merciless arms.
The war for reunification to be waged by the DPRK will not end in armistice.
What remains to be done now is to wage a merciless sacred war for wiping out the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces to the last man and reunifying the country to win a great, admirable victory.
The army and people of the DPRK will never miss the golden opportunity for waging a great war for reunification but achieve the cause of national reunification without fail, in hearty response to the militant order given by Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un during his inspection of the biggest hotspot area in the southernmost part of the southwestern front for defending the country on August 17. -0-

43rd Anniversary of the formation of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK

                                  London 24th August Juche 101(2012)
                   The 25th of August is the 43rd anniversary of the foundation of the Revolutionary Party for Reunification which is the proud and valiant forerunner of today's Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea , the vanguard force of the south Korean revolution that fights for the independence and democratisation of south Korea and advances militantly towards the sacred goal of reunification.
                                The RPR was founded on the 25 of August 1969 by the south Korean revolutionaries inspired by the teachings of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung on the south Korean revolution and the immortal Juche idea. The great leader president Kim Il Sung taught that the south Korean revolution is both a national liberation revolution against US imperialism and at a the same time a democratic revolution against the comprador capitalists, landlords and bureaucrats . Furthermore President Kim Il Sung taught the workers, peasants and popular masses of south Korea must have their own party.   The south Korean workers and peasants came to have their own vanguard party guided by the Juche idea.
Leaders of the RPR such as Kim Jong Tae and Choi Young Do were murdered by the south Korean puppet fascist regime becoming martyrs for the south Korean revolution and the reunification of the country . The RPR fought hard against the south Korean puppet regime and the US imperialists using all forms of struggle , legal and illegal, violent and non-violent . The RPR , guided by the great Juche idea, not only struggled against the south Korean fascist puppet regime
but also against revisionism, flunkeyism ,great power chauvinism, opportunism, dogmatism and factionalism.
The RPR to reflect the mass democratic struggles in the 1980s against the fascist Chun regime of south Korea became the National Democratic Front of south Korea . The NDFSK played a valiant role in the struggle to democratise south Korea and overthrow the Chun-Roh fascists. During the late 1980s south Korean students and youth , risking jail or even death, studied the Juche idea

Later the NDFSK became the Anti-imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea. Today the AINDF is fighting hard against the neo-colonial fascist regime of Lee Myung Bak, the traitor and to the Korean nation.

The ASSPUK , JISGE and UK KFA salute the AINDF on its 43rd anniversary . We are very proud to have such fine comrades as the AINDF. May the struggle of the AINDF win final victory !
Long live the AINDF
Long live the south Korean revolution.

Brief introduction of the struggle of the Anti-imperialist National Democratic Front ( AINDF)

Forty three years have lapsed since our Anti-imperialist National Democratic Front (AINDF) was founded on August 25, 1969.
Though there were manifold ordeals and hardships on the road, it has successfully surmounted the gale of the “Yusin” dictatorship in the 1970s and the frenzied whirlwind of anti-communism in the 1980-90s, and now is struggling for anti-US independent reunification in an excited era of the second millennium.
Since 2000 we’ve waged anti-imperialist struggle for reunification under the banner of “By our nation itself”.
During those days, the AINDF has been undauntedly waging the heroic struggle for independence, democratization of the south Korean society and the national reunification with the high honor of holding in high esteem great President Kim Il Sung and perspicacious Marshal Kim Jong Il, great men of the century and suns of the nation, as the illustrious leaders and taking the Juche idea, the guiding ideal of the times as the vertical rudder.

Holding in high esteem the great men of the century

Comrade Kim Jong-tae, pacemaker of the foundation of the NDFSK in the 1960s, venerated great President Kim Il Sung with the highest appellation of an “unparalleled hero”.
The fervent Kimilsungist fighters including comrade Kim Jong-tae strove day and night to arm themselves with the revolutionary history of President Kim Il Sung, his ideas and theories, and laid the adamant cornerstone for founding the AINDF.
The members of the AINDF organizations devoted all their efforts to the ideological solidifying of the party on the basis of the immortal Juche idea.
The AINDF members with the strong conviction of the victory of the reunification revolution thanks to the prominent leader, the founder of the great Juche idea, did not only arm themselves with the ideas and feats of great President Kim Il Sung and perspicacious Marshal Kim Jong Il but also inculcated the Juche-Songun upon the people from different social standings including workers, peasants, intellectuals, youth and students, religious men and patriotic soldiers, rallying them into a main force of the revolution.
By the influence of the AINDF in south Korea, innumerable patriotic people of all walks of life have grown up into the adherents of the Juche idea, formed many organizations and are energetically advancing for independence, democracy and reunification.
According to data of a security organ, the adherents of the Juche idea in south Korea today amounted to nearly 4.3 million, i.e. more than 10% of the population.
In 2002, major 10 newspapers and 15 magazines in south Korea carried 430-odd photos of President Kim Il Sung and Marshal Kim Jong Il and some 1,000 articles on them.
It is a fact enough to show the high extent of the south Korean people's worship towards the great men of the century and their ideas today.

Pioneering the course of independence, democracy and reunification

The AINDF's mark was figured by a torch.
The torch-stand emblematizes the immortal Juche idea, the guideline of the AINDF and the three red crescents above it symbolize the three objects of independence, democracy and reunification.
AINDF reliably assuming its role as the vanguard of the south Korean people.
A south Korean student said:
“The AINDF is the leading organization of the south Korean revolution.
We trust in and follow the NDFSK as the patriotic vanguard of the south Korean people.
Establishing an independent and democratic government and reunifying the country in a federal way constitute the AINDF’s platform, and independence, democracy and reunification are its banner.
However, different mass organizations and united front organizations, even the Democratic Labor Party adopt them as their political goal and guideline today.
At the outset of the first century of the new millennium, Korean people, both in south and north, could greet the June 15 joint declaration thanks to Marshal Kim Jong Il, lodestar of the reunification.
95.7% of the south Korean people support the declaration, which was praised by the south Korean movement circles as the fruition of the Juche idea and the Songun politics.
AINDF appreciated the June 15 joint declaration as a landmark of the national reunification, which most correctly reflects the aspiration and desire of the 70-million fellow countrymen, expressed full support and approval to it and earnestly called on everyone to rise up in the sacred and patriotic struggle to realize it.
The south Korean people who keenly felt that the US is the main stumbling block on the way of realizing the great cause of independence and reunification by our nation itself as clarified in the joint declaration, are opening the “era of popularizing the anti-US movement”.

Bathed in the unlimited support and trust of the people

The people's support and trust are the source of the strength for the AINDF.
The patriotic people from different social standings cherish a steady confidence in the AINDF and warmly express their support and trust to it despite the wicked obstacles laid by the US and the south Korean ultra rightwing conservatives.
The youth and students in particular, call the NDFSK's members with respect and trust as devoted fighters and members of a vanguard organization.
The ideal and principles of the Juche idea held fast to by the AINDF since its foundation and the just and patriotic struggle it has vigorously waged win the active support and solidarity not only from the different patriotic people in south Korea but also from the world progressives and the AINDF's prestige improves day by day.
The AINDF has relations with some 100 political parties and organizations over the world and formed new ties with anti-imperialist organizations in the north America and in western Europe since 1990s.
The Anti-imperialist Solidarity in US sent a congratulatory message to the AINDF on its 34th foundation day expressing warm revolutionary solidarity.
It read:
“We cannot say enough what an honor it is to have you as our comrades.
Together we can defeat and destroy US imperialism, the common enemy of us all.
We know and revere the AINDF as our true comrades and brethren.
Comrades of the ANDF, in the spirit of Comrade Kim Il Sung, we wish you still further victories and hope to strengthen even greater our fraternal ties.”

AINDF will wage more dynamic anti-US anti-war struggle together with the progressive people of the world and will bring about a new victory in the struggle to realize independence of south Korea and the national reunification, holding higher the banner of the June 15 joint declaration under the brilliant beams of the Songun politics of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

Let Us Step up the Building of a Thriving Country by Applying Kim Jong Il's Patriotism

KIM JONG UN

In our implementing of the cause of building a thriving socialist country today, it is very important to apply Kim Jong Il's patriotism. I have already explained Kim Jong Il's patriotism on several occasions. However, our officials still have a poor understanding of it, and they fail to substantially apply it to their practical activities with proper methodology. We emphasize Kim Jong Il's patriotism to encourage officials, Party members and other working people not to merely shout it as a slogan or to hold it up like a banner, but to learn from the ennobling examples of patriotism set by the great General Kim Jong Il and apply his patriotism thoroughly to their practical activities in building a thriving country. The General was a peerless patriot; he loved his country and fellow people more ardently than anybody else, and devoted his whole life to achieving the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, thus performing imperishable exploits that are etched in the history of the country. Always cherished in the depth of his heart were his dear country and people. When he saw a forest thickly wooded or a vast field realigned in a sweeping manner, he would say to himself, "Green mountain" and "Green field," picturing in his mind the future of a thriving country and the happiness our people would enjoy down through generations. When he was on visits to foreign countries, he would say with deep emotion, "My country, my nation," missing his country and people back in his country. When he saw a poorly-wooded mountain on his field guidance trip, he would feel painful and say that our country had been called a three-thousand-ri land of golden tapestry from time immemorial, adding that we should turn it into a land of golden tapestry of the era of the Workers' Party and hand it over to the coming generations. When he saw that the service personnel of army units had planted many trees on the mountains around their barracks and tended them well, he would speak highly of their patriotism and call theirs units of patriots. And when he saw a village and the barracks of an army unit which were well laid out and covered with apricot and persimmon trees, he called them an apricot-tree village and a persimmon-tree company, respectively, adding national fragrance to their names. Being determined to be the master of the revolution in Korea from the first day of embarking on the road of the revolution, he defended and added brilliance to his socialist country by devoting his all throughout his life, and continued to follow the road of love for his country and people until the last moment of his life. The struggle to defend the socialist country was the acutest showdown with the imperialist allied forces, the severe struggle unprecedented in its history. To break through the harsh trials facing the country and defend it, the General set out on the long, arduous road of Songun-based leadership in a do-or-die spirit. The only parka he wore from the days of the "Arduous March" to the last days of his life is vivid evidence showing what a thorny path he had to traverse with patriotic devotion to defend his socialist country. One year, looking back on the days of the trying ordeals with deep emotion, he touched on the parka he was wearing. He said that he wore it at the onset of the "Arduous March" after President Kim Il Sung had passed away, and that he kept wearing it because he could not forget the trials. He continued earnestly that the parka was symbolic of the Songun-based revolution. Even a parka gets thin if one wears it long, and it cannot keep one warm in the cold. Though icy wind got through the old parka, he burned his heart with a sense of responsibility for the defence of his country. He held on to the parka for more than ten years, when he displayed strong will and superhuman energy going on with his inspection of the military units on the front line to train the soldiers into a-match-for-a-hundred combatants. Chol Pass and Mt. Osong he climbed braving howling snowstorms, Cho Islet he visited across a rough sea, and other frontline posts will remain witnesses to the patriotic devotion he displayed on the road of Songun-based leadership to defend the country. As can be seen through the recent parade held to mark the centenary of the birth of the President, our country, which was robbed of its sovereignty a century ago because of its weak military strength, is demonstrating its dignity as a world-class military power; it owes its matchless military might to the wise leadership of the General. Whenever we reflect on the road of Songun-based leadership the General followed shouldering the responsibility for the destiny of his country and nation, we deeply realize what valuable and ennobling patriotism he possessed in defending our country, our motherland. The thorny path he covered all his life with a single mind of patriotic devotion led to the transformation of our country's appearance and the laying of the solid cornerstone for building a prosperous and powerful nation. Even in the grim period of leading the struggle in defence of socialism, he unfolded a far-reaching plan of building a thriving socialist country and wisely led the efforts for its implementation. Under his energetic leadership the land all over the country was realigned as befits a socialist country, gravitational waterways built in many regions and rural villages turned into socialist fairylands. What is more, modern heavy- and light industry factories were built in large numbers, existing factories renovated to meet the demands of the new century and monumental structures that would contribute to the country's prosperity and the well-being of all generations to come built in an excellent way in various parts of the country. The introduction of CNC technology that effected an industrial revolution of our style in the new century shows us the high level of his patriotism. Still vivid in my memory is his image in January 2010, when he recollected with deep emotion how he earnestly explained the details of CNC technology to the officials who had not had a correct understanding of the technology so as to stoke the flames of introducing the technology. During the period when the country was undergoing difficulties he had precious funds allocated for the introduction of CNC technology for the prosperous future of the country although he was haunted by the thoughts of the people who were suffering from food shortage. That he decided shedding his heart's tears to spend the precious funds, which could be called all in the coffers of the state, for the introduction of CNC technology was a courageous decision and the best choice born of his patriotic will to raise the international profile of his country, his motherland, by fostering its might, not by importing others' showy machines. Patriotism finds its highest expression in fostering the might of one's country for its prosperity. Strong national might makes it possible to defend the country and guarantees the happiness of all generations to come. Whenever he heard the song Break through the Cutting Edge, he would shed tears recollecting the arduous road he had traversed and mental agony he had surmounted for the introduction of CNC technology. Indeed, his tears were tears of ardent patriotism. The epochal changes effected in our country and the proud realities unfolded in the prospering Songun Korea are all valuable fruits born of his ennobling patriotism. His burning love for his socialist country and people and his self-sacrificing devotion to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people originated from his absolute trust in his people and unbreakable confidence in the justness of the socialist system and the victory of the socialist cause. There can be no love and devotion separated from trust and confidence. It is only from unshakable trust and confidence that genuine and warm love and unstinting devotion are produced. Saying that there is no people in the world better than ours, he always placed absolute trust in them. And saying, "Let's see who laughs last," he had firm confidence in the victorious future of the country. As he firmly trusted in our people and the victorious future of the country as in himself, he was always on the road of devotion for the country and people with the most ardent love for them. His warm love and devotion for the country and people also originated from his ennobling sense of mission. He cherished the ennobling sense of duty and mission that he was responsible for the destiny of the country and people the President had entrusted to him. Out of this sense he set out on the long march of Songun-based leadership with a do-or-die determination and devoted his all to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people with the most ardent love for them. In the light of its essential content and great vitality, the patriotism he cherished and applied in his practical activities is the most ennobling patriotism which can be associated only with his name. For this reason, when I speak of patriotism, I mean not patriotism in general, but Kim Jong Il's patriotism, the patriotism that he cherished and applied to defend his country and make it prosperous. Kim Jong Il's patriotism is the crystallization of socialist patriotism. It is the most fervent and the warmest love for our socialist country and people and the most earnest and self-sacrificing devotion to the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people. It is genuine patriotism that holds dear every tree and every blade of grass of the country and devotes one's heart and soul to looking after them. Kim Jong Il's patriotism is based on the ennobling view of the motherland.

Kim Jong Il wrote in The Embrace of My Motherland, a classic song that he created in his early years, that the embrace of the country whose land glows under the sun radiant is the embrace of Kim Il Sung, thus presenting a profound idea that to our people the motherland is immediately their leader and the embrace of their motherland is his embrace. One's motherland is not simply a place where one was born and grew up; it must be a place which guarantees genuine life for the people and eternal happiness for posterity, which in turn is assured by the leader. The genuine life for the people and eternal happiness for posterity can be created and brought into bloom only by the leader who loves the country and the people in real earnest and devotes his all to them. The destiny of the country and people is unthinkable separated from their leader, and it can be defended and guaranteed only by him. Hence, devotion to the country is precisely faithfulness to the leader, and faithfulness to the leader is a display of patriotism, the highest expression of patriotism. Kim Jong Il's patriotism is based on the noble outlook on people that believes in them as in heaven. "The people are my God" was the General's motto throughout his life. He said that if there is an omnipotent entity in this world, it is the masses, not the God; it was his creed of patriotism that the country exists as there exist the people. His patriotic mind was always filled with the word people. If it is the wish of the people, I should pluck a star out of the heavens or grow flowers even on a rock—it was the noble meaning of his affection for people and his will. Even now, whenever I listen to the Song of Affection for People, singing that the sum of the General's lifelong exploits, as wide as the sea and as high as the sky, is that only for people, I cannot help shedding tears as I recall the benevolent image of the General who valued people all his life. For the ennobling view of the younger generation, Kim Jong Il's patriotism stokes our feelings further. The slogan "Let us live not merely for today but for tomorrow!" is the intensification of his view of the younger generation. Whatever we do, we must do it most creditably and perfectly so that the coming generation can enjoy benefit from it even in the distant future although we may not enjoy it in our lifetime—this was his ennobling intention and an earnest request he always made. Kim Jong Il's patriotism is, indeed, a precious spiritual legacy he left for our people and an example to follow in practice. It is a valuable ideological and spiritual sustenance indispensable to all who love their country and fellow people; it also provides those struggling for the sake of their country and fellow people with a powerful motive force that infuses into them courage and vigour. It will serve as a bright beacon in bringing up our people to be genuine patriots through generations, and as a compass to guide them in their struggle and life. All our officials, Party members and other working
people should learn positively from the ennobling patriotism of the General who devoted tireless efforts to the country and people all his life, burning his heart with ardent love for them, and apply it in practice as it is, without adding anything to it or deducting anything from it. Education for implanting Kim Jong Il's patriotism deep in the hearts of the people should be strengthened. We should strengthen education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism to encourage all Party members, working people, service personnel and youth and students to understand its true meaning and cherish it in their hearts. Education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism should be carried on in depth and breadth through theoretical explanation. This type of education should be conducted in depth and breadth combined with theoretical explanation to inspire all Party members and other working people to have a clear understanding of the General's view of the country, of the people and of the younger generation, and become genuine patriots who render loyal services to their country and people like the General and devote their blood and sweat of patriotism for tomorrow, when their desire would burst into bloom, though it is hard today like the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners who had fought, dedicating their youth and life, for the future of their country and people. Education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism should be conducted substantially in combination with practice. Patriotism is wholehearted devotion to the country and people. Stressing that anxiety for the country does not mean patriotism and patriotism only in word is unwanted, the General said that if one is ready for patriotism, one should perform patriotic deeds with a true spirit of patriotism. The spirit of patriotism should be expressed in practical activities designed for the well-being of the country and people. To the call of the country and people, one should not answer in mere words, but by dedicating one's whole being; this is the proper stance of a patriot. Education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism should be based on reality and conducted in keeping with the specific situations. Patriotism is not an abstract concept. It begins from one's own home. It buds out from the love for one's parents, spouses and children, the love for one's own home, village and workplace, and further develops into the love for one's country and fellow people. Those who do not cherish affection for their parents, spouses and children and for their homes, villages and workplaces cannot love their country and fellow people; they can never become genuine patriots. We should educate all Party members and other working people to become genuine patriots who first love their parents, spouses and children and further sincerely shed sweat and dedicate their all to spruce up their homes, villages and workplaces so that they are better than others' and add lustre to their country, their motherland. We should be effective in applying Kim Jong Il's patriotism in the practical activities. To apply Kim Jong Il's patriotism means to thoroughly materialize the General's intentions and desires for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of all generations to come and to carry on all work for achieving the prosperity of the country in the way he did. We should faithfully carry to completion the undertakings he planned and was carrying on in his lifetime, so that his ideals and desires are translated into reality on this land. The highest expression of patriotism is found in defending the motherland. Where there is the motherland, there exist our Party, our government, our socialist system and the happy life of our people. The life dedicated to national defence is the most valuable, patriotic life. The service personnel of the People's Army who are standing in the forefront of national defence should firmly grasp the weapons of the revolution, and reliably defend the outposts of the country; the people in the home front should support their country of Songun through sincere aid to the service personnel. All the people should attach importance to military affairs and learn them in earnest. Should the enemy attack, they should make a resolute counterattack and give play to their patriotism in the sacred war for national defence. All officials, Party members and other working people should cherish Kim Jong Il's patriotism deep in their minds and turn out in the effort for achieving the prosperity of their country, their motherland. The effort for achieving the prosperity of the country is a worthwhile struggle to materialize our people's centuries- old desire and a sacred patriotic struggle to implement the instructions of President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il. We should become genuine patriots in the era of Songun and build a thriving socialist country for others to see, like the generation who built a new, democratic Korea shortly after its liberation, upholding the patriotic appeal of Kim Il Sung and like the heroes in the era of Chollima who built a people's paradise with empty hands on the debris in the post-war days. For our nation that has suffered long from indescribable misfortune and pain, divided into the north and south by outside forces, national reunification is the supreme national task, which brooks no further delay. National reunification is patriotism pure and simple, and national division is treachery to the nation. Those who sincerely love their country and nation, whether they live in the north, in the south or abroad, should valiantly turn out in the righteous struggle for reunifying the country, true to the noble idea of loving the country and nation cherished by Kim Jong Il, a peerless patriot. Patriotism can be likened to a gemstone. As a gemstone keeps sparkling even under the ground, the idea of loving the country, however small it may be, is valuable and always beautiful. We should cherish patriotism as valuable and beautiful as a gemstone, and volunteer to do the undertakings helpful to achieving the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people. Always reflecting ourselves on the question about what we have devoted to the good of the country and people, we should cultivate the idea of loving the country. Only then will we be able to display genuine patriotism when planting even a tree and shed sweat out of patriotism when digging up a spadeful of earth in a construction site. Party and working people's organizations should fulfil their responsibility and role in the efforts to learn from Kim Jong Il's patriotism and apply it in the practical activities. Today many of our Party members and other working people serve their country and people faithfully at their own posts whether or not they are seen or appreciated. They are all genuine patriots. Party and working people's organizations should value and appreciate the patriotic deeds performed by them, and raise the wind of patriotism throughout society so as to encourage everyone to take part in patriotic undertakings. All state organs and social organizations should pay attention to education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism. In educating in and applying Kim Jong Il's patriotism educational institutions have a special role to play; they should orient their teaching to the education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism, and combine their education closely with family and social education. Officials should be exemplary in applying Kim Jong Il's patriotism. They should not remain only worrying about their country; they should become genuine patriots who are ready to throw themselves into supporting the country. The slogan "We serve the country and the people!" presented by our Party is a slogan of patriotism our officials should hold high today. Officials should burn themselves with patriotic enthusiasm before anybody else, for the country and people, and shed sweat in the vanguard of the patriotic struggle of the people. When all officials work sincerely, devoting their all and sharing good times and bad with the people, sometimes carrying burdens on their backs, all people will take an active part in the building of a prosperous country with a sense of patriotism. Our Party demands that the whole country demonstrate enthusiasm for Kim Jong Il's patriotism to the full so as to hasten the final victory of building a thriving socialist country with the surging might of patriotism and single-hearted unity. As the President opened up the path of building a new country after liberation by kindling the flames of patriotism with the historic speech on his triumphant return, the speech in which he appealed for building a new, democratic Korea, those with strength giving strength, those with knowledge offering knowledge and those with money donating money, and as the General overcame severe trials and opened the way to the building of a thriving socialist country by kindling the flames of patriotism with a letter in which he appealed to all people to work energetically and with one purpose to make our country, our motherland, ever more prosperous, our Party is going to set up a new milestone in the building of a thriving socialist country by stoking the flames of patriotism with Kim Jong Il's patriotism as the starting fire. This is the unshakable will and determination of our Party. When the whole country brims over with Kim Jong Il's patriotism and all the people apply it to the letter in their practical activities, our country will shine in the world as a thriving socialist country
