Nuke and Peace -parts one and two-from Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, April 26 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun carried a political essay titled "Nuke and Peace" on Thursday.
    Explaining why the DPRK had to access nuclear weapons by making painstaking efforts and tightening its belt several times and even risking war and death, the political essay said:
    One has to understand the world if one wants to understand the reason of unavoidability and inevitable consequences. One also needs to see through the nature of U.S. imperialism which nibbles at earth under the spurious show of human civilization.
    Despite all kinds of splendid sermons and advertisements about freedom, equality, growth and civilization and despite 19-chapter and 111-article UN Charter and slews of treaties, a whole gamut of doctrines and speeches and heated debates that are made in the world on a daily basis, there is one thing which has grown all the more ferocious and undisguised.
    That is the logic of strength, order of strength and rule of strength by the U.S. imperialists. It is the U.S. which lords it over the world and behind its avarice and huge might lie such monopoly tycoons like Rockfeller.
    The U.S. did not hesitate to start wars and manipulate upheavals in Iraq, Afghanistan and later in Libya and Middle East to seize more natural resources and maintain its rule. It even made no scruple of committing assassination and terrorism to this end.
    Peace is the false face of imperialism and equal dealings with imperialism will lead it to a ruin. War and plunder are like air and food that keep imperialist monster survive and go on.
    Justice without strength entails tears. Peace advocated by the weak amounts to begging. One should not talk about love for peace without building strength.
    The nuclear thunder made by the DPRK in spring in 2013 was its answer to this and a landmark event that was like a wake-up call for humankind.
    During the last Korean war the U.S. announced that it would use A-bomb in Korea. MacArthur blustered that it would form a radioactive corridor running from the east sea to the west sea in the northern part of Korea, adding that no living things will be able to come to life in the zone for 60 to 120 years.
    This produced the long procession of "A-bomb evacuees" from the north headed to the south. Some families sent only men to the south out of desire to keep their family line. This is the reason that millions of families now live separated in the north and the south of Korea and abroad.
    The Korean people have never led a peaceful life amid the vortex of endless threats of war. With the 1969 Focus Retina operation as the starting one, the U.S. imperialists constantly staged war exercises under various codenames for over 40 years. In the new century the U.S. designated the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil", put it in the list of preemptive nuclear attack and has resorted to the whole gamut of threats and blackmail against it.
    Its nuclear racket was followed by "human rights" issue that was also followed by the call for "change in social system". By raising issues endlessly, it designs to keep Northeast Asia under its domination.
    Bottom-line is whether the nation keeps its dignity or submits to others and whether it survives or ruins.
    The world conscience, please answer.
    Have you ever thought of the pain suffered by a nation falling to victim of ferocious high-handed practices and domination strategy for the mere reason that it has differing ideology and social system and it is not an ally following the U.S.
    Such hard-working and resourceful, highly civilized nation in the land of golden tapestry has had its opportunities for progress and prosperity deprived for nearly seven decades, being subject to hardships generation after generation. Its grudge is now running sky-high.
    So the Koreans accessed nukes for punishment and retaliation, a weapon enough to smash the oppression and replace the imperialists' order by one of independent people.
    Nuclear tests were conducted on October 9, 2006, May 25, 2009 and February 12, 2013. Just as satellite enters into its orbit through three-stage surges, the DPRK leaped into a nuclear weapons state by crossing three big mountains and making three big leaps in seven years of hardships.
    It was human tragedy that A-bomb was first possessed by the imperialists and the U.S. emerged as a nuclear empire. As the U.S. imperialists became the first owner of nuclear weapons and big powers have had monopoly of them for years, nuke has become the pronoun of war and horror.
    In protest against this unjust and crime-woven history, the DPRK at last had access to nuke.
  The U.S. nukes presage disaster but the Korean people's nukes promise peace and happiness, the political essay said, and went on:
    The DPRK can also roar at imperialism with nukes of justice, and disgrace, humble and insult U.S. imperialism which has grown fat by bleeding mankind white and exploiting the earth's resources.
    At last the DPRK crossed the watershed for realizing its dream for lasting peace and prosperity. The DPRK's access to nukes accelerates the world's denuclearization and peace. Strength can be contained only with strength and nukes with nukes. The U.S. nukes beget nuclear proliferation and nuclear arms race but the DPRK's nukes promote denuclearization based on new concept and mission of nukes. It has become possible to set up new peaceful and stable order by disabling big powers' nuclear advantages and hegemony.
    The arrogant U.S. imperialists and all stripes of hostile forces have built up public opinion as if the world has been faced with big danger. They have become vociferous about it almost every day. This can be interpreted in two ways: one is to put pressure on the DPRK to stop "provocation" and "threats" to the international community and the other is to threaten the DPRK to change its line and way. The U.S. asserts that the DPRK will have no future as long as it holds the possession of nukes. Do they have even an iota of idea of how the DPRK will respond to it? The U.S. imperialists' craftiness and brigandish nature are giving off venomous poison.
    Nuclear dismantlement precisely means disarmament and the change of line means the toppling of social system. This land will turn into a theatre of scramble of big powers and Korea will be forced to experience the second 1905 incident. The sacred history of our predecessors will be made a mockery of and we will lose the socialist life that has been kept dear to us generation after generation.
    The U.S. imperialists brought a false charge against a country that had never accessed nukes and occupied it by way of a war to gratify its unrelenting avarice for natural resources. A country reached out to the U.S. for reconciliation and concession, believing in the promise for prosperity in return for dismantlement of nukes, only to be overthrown and occupied by the U.S. These countries are now trembling with bitter anger.
    We will work hard without deviation or stop to make sure that no country and nation will fall a victim to the imperialist wolves and to prove human hope that man is equal and people of any country can achieve progress and civilization with their own view on value.
    It is shame for south Korea to boast of itself ranking among world's economically advanced nations with the help of fund and technology provided by the U.S. with an aim to use it as a springboard for the continental domination. What is all the more irony is the disgusting behavior of the south Korean puppet forces trying to admonish the DPRK, unbecoming for their inferior position in the aspect of possession of satellite and nukes, symbol of a country's might in the world arena.
    The puppet forces should feel shame of themselves as they make mischief in line with their master, far from expressing gratitude to the heroic people who achieved the great cause of the nation standing unspeakable and manifold difficulties. They are utterly ignorant of what the real treasure of the nation is and how the future generations will become.
    No one can turn back history which has advanced fast. The DPRK will keep advancing, standing all tempests of history and mercilessly smashing all rubbish forces no matter how hard it can be to the hostile forces and how much calumnies they may heap on the DPRK to check its advance by a war.
    With its foot firmly based on the foundation of a nuclear power, the DPRK will surge toward the world like a satellite. Just as it turned nukes which were a monopoly of imperialism into the treasured sword of the people it will turn the wealth and prosperity owned by imperialism into the possession of the people.
    The DPRK has already advanced far. It has leapt to the center stage of Northeast Asia as a country of justice and will contribute to human progress and prosperity. It is now gearing up strategically to face the world which will be vibrant and with which it will forge broad and active bonds.
    Steadfast is our principle and coherent is our logic.
    We are firm and fixed in our stand and determination to counter all the reactionary forces' plots and obstruction moves that harass peace and stand in our way for prosperity until the U.S. clears itself of the inveterate bitterness toward the DPRK and persistent ambition for aggression.
    After decades and centuries, the world people will look back and reflect on the heroic deed done by the people of the present generation of socialist Korea by safeguarding the dignity and human justice in the face of manifold difficulties and pressure.
    No one can check our advance as long as there are the leadership of the dear respected Marshal
Kim Jong Un, who represents ever-victorious banner, the nuclear force for self-defence of the powerful revolutionary Paektusan army and the united strength of the people. -0-
