The imperialist bourgeois mainstream media have long demonized and
vilified People's Korea and its supreme leadership . At times the
anti-DPRK propaganda went way beyond the worst Cold War propaganda
against the USSR and other former socialist countries , way ,way beyond
it . The Western media's hostility to the DPRK even exceeded that of the
hostility towards the Islamic world . On Friday 27th of April , the
false image of Marshal KIM JONG UN and People's Korea , that had been built up by mainstream media brainwashers , was shattered into a million pieces !
Now they the mainstream media are trying to get around this , to
square the circle by telling more lies , saying that the DPRK's moves
for peace were "due to the sanctions ", that the DPRK has "given in " or
"surrendered " and that the DPRK has accepted unilateral disarmament .
When you tell a lie and it is exposed you then have to tell more lie

Rodong Sinmun Hails Socialism as Common Ideal of Mankind
Pyongyang, April 30 (KCNA) -- The future of mankind is socialism, Rodong Sinmun Monday says in an article.
It goes on;
The popular masses have long desired an independent new society in which all of them live well on an equal footing free from exploitation, oppression, domination and subordination.
Socialism makes it possible to realize such an ideal and capitalism tramples it down.
Socialism provides genuine freedom and equality for all people.
In the capitalist society complete equality cannot be provided as it is based on individualism and divided into hostile classes.
Socialism is the just cause of realizing the requirements of the popular masses for independence and their ideal and it is the law of human history to advance toward socialism, which no one can hold in check.
Transition from capitalism to socialism is a law-governed process of the development of human society.
Socialism is an inevitable phase in the development of history and it is a rule, but it does not come true of itself.
Socialism advances amid a fierce struggle against all hues of counter-revolutionary forces including the imperialists.
No matter how desperately the imperialists work, they can not check the advance of mankind toward socialism. -0-

Old-fashioned Japan Has No Future: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, April 28 (KCNA) -- The situation around the Korean peninsula is favorably developing as is universally known.
But only Japan is speaking ill of it, being vexed as if it walks on thorns.
At a time when the world is actively supporting the DPRK's measure to stop nuclear test, the Japan defense minister said that "Japan will continue to put maximum pressure", claiming that the DPRK's measure to stop nuclear test is not satisfactory. This is just a typical example.
This reminds one of Don Quixote as it is unable to properly sense the trend toward peace that prevails in the Korean peninsula and the region.
Clear is the reason why Japan known to be shrewd and smart is acting out the anachronistic role of Don Quixote.
Japan is now keen on calculating its own interests, in disregard of the desire and wish of the Korean nation, the regional people and the international community under the rapidly changing situation.
It has never truly wished for reconciliation and unity of the Korean nation and the peace on the Korean peninsula.
In the first half of the last century Japan put the whole of Korea under its control and used it as a springboard from which to realize its dream of the "Greater East-Asia Co-prosperity Sphere" and availed itself of the horrible Korean War in the 1950s to achieve the revival of militarism and boom of the economic recovery.
In the subsequent period, too, Japan, not ridding itself of the bad habit, deliberately aggravated the situation and used it as pretexts for arms buildup and overseas expansion.
Today it keeps calling for putting pressure on the DPRK, in disregard of the trend of the situation. This is aimed to overcome the ruling crisis it has faced inside and outside as it has been driven into a tight corner over the hideous scandal, attain its political purpose such as retrogressive revision of constitution and turn the table in its favor after shielding the "theory of negligence of Japan" abroad.
But just like cunning one falling victim to one's own wit, Japan has become blind, being unable to judge the trend of the times and even the gains and losses, as it has been keen on meeting its own interests.
The Japanese reactionaries should stop the pipedream of meeting their own interests at the sacrifice of others.
The fellow countrymen in the north and the south of Korea and the international community will never tolerate the crafty act aimed to tarnish the atmosphere of dialogue in the region.
Japan should clearly understand that its act of going against the trend of the times will only make it get marginalized as bubbles.
It will have no future if it remains unchanged as now. -0-

U.S. Civilian Evacuation Drill Is War Card: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, April 28 (KCNA) -- The U.S. conducted exercises of evacuating American nationals to its mainland from south Korea from April 16 to 20.
The pretext is to cope with "emergency on the Korean peninsula" and it is said that the drill is the first of its kind.
The U.S. farce unbecoming to the atmosphere for dialogue on the Korean peninsula is met by vigilance of the Korean nation and the regional countries because it seeks a sinister scenario behind it.
In short, the evacuation drill is a dangerous act of going against the détente on the Korean peninsula, an act aimed to make war a fait accompli and incite atmosphere for it.
Thanks to the proactive measure and sincere efforts of the DPRK, the trend of peace and détente has been created on the Korean peninsula. This is the stern reality.
Yet, the U.S. made the fuss which can be seen only on the eve of a war, indication that it seeks other purpose rather than the détente of situation on the Korean peninsula.
It is a well-known fact that whenever the atmosphere for national reconciliation, unity and peace loomed on the Korean peninsula, the U.S. has always stood against it.
This time, too, it showed the civilian evacuation card, at the end of hard efforts to prevent the north-south relations from improving along the positive direction.
The evacuation of civilians is, in fact, a card signaling a war, and this was proven by the historical fact on the eve of the last Korean War.
At that time, the U.S. evacuated its civilians in a hurry and provoked the Korean War of aggression.
The U.S. acts of shunning and denying the reality clearly prove that the U.S. is harasser of peace and destroyer of stability and orders.
The U.S. had better ponder over its military adventure of a war targeting the DPRK.
The U.S. should contemplate what mistakes it has made in the history of the DPRK-U.S. confrontation and who has become winner, not straining its nerves on dreaming of fighting a war, and rectify the hostile policy toward the DPRK that has become dregs of the times.
This is an advice forwarded to the U.S. by the DPRK. -0
UK KFA Chair Dr Dermot Hudson Interviewed by VTC of Vietnam -translatation

EXPERT: DPRK ALWAYS PROTECT PEACE
On April 27th, Korea Summit was held at Panmunjom with participation of leaders from two Koreas. After about one decade, leaders of both Korea have their first metting. After meeting, two Koreas have their join statement.
Follow this event, VTC News has a discussion with Chairman of Juche Idea Study Group of England, Official Delegate at Korean Friendship Association, Dermot Hudson.
(VTC News) Korea Summit was held on April 27th is the event that is long time awaited by two Koreas. At this event, leaders of DPRK and ROK have their meeting for the first time.
(Dermot Hudson) The meeting and the joint statement will pave the way forward to the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea. It means that Korea will reunified peacefully without recourse to arms.
Media said that this event end the 65-years-war between two Korea, but DPRK’s media affirmed that DPRK never has war with the South and that is the fact.
The war which [other media] mention here is war between DPRK and US. The Korean Armistice Agreement was signed by the DPRK, China and US.
Moreover, international media said that DPRK use the Korea Summit for seeking a chance to loose sanctions, that is not true.
Firstly the holding of the summit is in line with the policy on reunification adopted by the 7th Congress of the Workers's Party of Korea and the proposals in [Marshal] Kim Jong-un’s new year address for 2018. The DPRK can totally beat the sanctions through self-reliance.
DPRK has not waited to become a nuclear power then hold negotiation. In fact, Pyongyang proposed negotiations and dialgoue many times but the previous south Korean regimes refused to listen, now there has been some change in south Korea, under Moon Jae-in’s time.
(VTC News) Before Korea Summit was held, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, at that time was head of CIA, had a secret meeting with [Marshal] Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang…
(Dermot Hudson) The US and DPRK have held negotiations one and off for some time, sometimes these are open and other time not. The meeting [of Mike Pompeo and [Marshal] Kim Jong-un] was part of the process of DPRK-US negotiation.
This meeting could lead to a good result for US and DPRK, and also good for DPRK and south Korea, but this would depend on the outcome of such negotiatons. If Washington finally ends its hostile policy [to Pyongyang] and stops interfereing in Korea that this would be a good result for all sides.
Although [Marshal] Kim Jong-un stated that DPRK will hail nuclear and missile test, but he also affirmed that DPRK will countinute those tests if they are threaten by any nuclear powers.
But there are chances for a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, if the US ceases its nuclear threat against the DPRK, then there can be a nuclear free Korean peninsula. The US should end its nuclear threat against DPRK, gives up its nuclear threat and its nuclear arsenal permanently and irreversibly, so there will be a a nuclear-free Korean peninsula.
Quite possibly, after Korea Summit there will be meetings between DPRK’s [Supreme] leader Kim Jong-un with leaders from other coutries, such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe or even US President Donald Trump.
We have to affirm that DPRK is committed to building friendly relations with all countries that respect its independence and are friendly to it, and also countries which support Korean Reunification.
I am impressed with the DPRK in supporting legal gorvernment of Syrian President Bashar Assad. This is a concrete example, Pyongyang always protect peace in actions, and this is internationalism in action.
(VTC News) Korea Summit is considered as the beginning of peace on Korea peninsula, with the join statement of leaders from DPRK and ROK…
(Dermot Hudson) I think two Koreas will be truly have their reunification, truly fulfill their desire of reunification, the desire that has been longed for many decades.
Korea Summit on April 27th is first step, but to achieve this, the momentum must be kept up. If the US role in south Korea is finally ended then reunification will come.

Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification of the Korean Peninsula
During this momentous period of historical transformation on the Korean Peninsula, reflecting the enduring aspiration of the Korean people for peace, prosperity and unification, President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea held an Inter-Korean Summit Meeting at the ‘Peace House' at Panmunjeom on April 27, 2018.
The two leaders solemnly declared before the 80 million Korean people and the whole world that there will be no more war on the Korean Peninsula and thus a new era of peace has begun.
The two leaders, sharing the firm commitment to bring a swift end to the Cold War relic of longstanding division and confrontation, to boldly approach a new era of national reconciliation, peace and prosperity, and to improve and cultivate inter-Korean relations in a more active manner, declared at this historic site of Panmunjeom as follows :
1. South and North Korea will reconnect the blood relations of the people and bring forward the future of co-prosperity and unification led by Koreans by facilitating comprehensive and groundbreaking advancement in inter-Korean relations. Improving and cultivating inter-Korean relations is the prevalent desire of the whole nation and the urgent calling of the times that cannot be held back any further.
① South and North Korea affirmed the principle of determining the destiny of the Korean nation on their own accord and agreed to bring forth the watershed moment for the improvement of inter-Korean relations by fully implementing all existing agreements and declarations adopted between the two sides thus far.
② South and North Korea agreed to hold dialogue and negotiations in various fields including at high level, and to take active measures for the implementation of the agreements reached at the Summit.
③ South and North Korea agreed to establish a joint liaison office with resident representatives of both sides in the Gaeseong region in order to facilitate close consultation between the authorities as well as smooth exchanges and cooperation between the peoples.
④ South and North Korea agreed to encourage more active cooperation, exchanges, visits and contacts at all levels in order to rejuvenate the sense of national reconciliation and unity. Between South and North, the two sides will encourage the atmosphere of amity and cooperation by actively staging various joint events on the dates that hold special meaning for both South and North Korea, such as June 15, in which participants from all levels, including central and local governments, parliaments, political parties, and civil organizations, will be involved. On the international front, the two sides agreed to demonstrate their collective wisdom, talents, and solidarity by jointly participating in international sports events such as the 2018 Asian Games.
⑤ South and North Korea agreed to endeavor to swiftly resolve the humanitarian issues that resulted from the division of the nation, and to convene the Inter-Korean Red Cross Meeting to discuss and solve various issues including the reunion of separated families. In this vein, South and North Korea agreed to proceed with reunion programs for the separated families on the occasion of the National Liberation Day of August 15 this year.
⑥ South and North Korea agreed to actively implement the projects previously agreed in the 2007 October 4 Declaration, in order to promote balanced economic growth and co-prosperity of the nation. As a first step, the two sides agreed to adopt practical steps towards the connection and modernization of the railways and roads on the eastern transportation corridor as well as between Seoul and Sinuiju for their utilization.
2. South and North Korea will make joint efforts to alleviate the acute military tension and practically eliminate the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula. Alleviating the military tension and eliminating the danger of war is a highly significant challenge directly linked to the fate of the Korean people and also a vital task in guaranteeing their peaceful and stable lives.
① South and North Korea agreed to completely cease all hostile acts against each other in every domain, including land, air and sea, that are the source of military tension and conflict. In this vein, the two sides agreed to transform the demilitarized zone into a peace zone in a genuine sense by ceasing as of May 1 this year all hostile acts and eliminating their means, including broadcasting through loudspeakers and distribution of leaflets, in the areas along the Military Demarcation Line.
② South and North Korea agreed to devise a practical scheme to turn the areas around the Northern Limit Line in the West Sea into a maritime peace zone in order to prevent accidental military clashes and guarantee safe fishing activities.
③ South and North Korea agreed to take various military measures to ensure active mutual cooperation, exchanges, visits and contacts. The two sides agreed to hold frequent meetings between military authorities, including the Defense Ministers Meeting, in order to immediately discuss and solve military issues that arise between them. In this regard, the two sides agreed to first convene military talks at the rank of general in May.
3. South and North Korea will actively cooperate to establish a permanent and solid peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. Bringing an end to the current unnatural state of armistice and establishing a robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula is a historical mission that must not be delayed any further.
① South and North Korea reaffirmed the Non-Aggression Agreement that precludes the use of force in any form against each other, and agreed to strictly adhere to this Agreement.
② South and North Korea agreed to carry out disarmament in a phased manner, as military tension is alleviated and substantial progress is made in military confidence-building.
③ During this year that marks the 65th anniversary of the Armistice, South and North Korea agreed to actively pursue trilateral meetings involving the two Koreas and the United States, or quadrilateral meetings involving the two Koreas, the United States and China with a view to declaring an end to the War, turning the armistice into a peace treaty, and establishing a permanent and solid peace regime.
④ South and North Korea confirmed the common goal of realizing, through complete denuclearization, a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. South and North Korea shared the view that the measures being initiated by North Korea are very meaningful and crucial for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and agreed to carry out their respective roles and responsibilities in this regard. South and North Korea agreed to actively seek the support and cooperation of the international community for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
The two leaders agreed, through regular meetings and direct telephone conversations, to hold frequent and candid discussions on issues vital to the nation, to strengthen mutual trust and to jointly endeavor to strengthen the positive momentum towards continuous advancement of inter-Korean relations as well as peace, prosperity and unification of the Korean Peninsula.
In this context, President Moon Jae-in agreed to visit Pyongyang this fall.

U.S. Urged to Respond to DPRK's Measures with Sincerity: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, April 27 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is vociferating about "sanctions and pressure" while expressing distrust in the great victory of the line of simultaneously developing the economic construction and the building of nuclear force, declared at the historic April 2018 Plenary Meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, and the follow-up measures.
Those concerned of the White House and official figures of the U.S. administration including the treasury secretary and the defense secretary, saying that no one knows when and how north Korea will put into practice the promises it made at the plenary meeting, have called for keeping sanctions and pressure on the DPRK until concrete measures are taken, along with the opinion that the U.S. will never take a "naive attitude".
As already known, the April plenary meeting solemnly declared that the DPRK would make pro-active efforts to contribute to building a world without nuclear weapons to meet the common desire of humankind at the present stage when the DPRK has definitely risen to the position of a world-level politico-ideological and military power.
The declaration on the great victory of our Party's line on simultaneous development of the two fronts has evoked active support, welcome and great repercussion from all Koreans and the whole world as it opened up a bright prospect for peace in the Korean peninsula, region and the rest of the world.
The world now comments that the DPRK has made a great change in the historic development strategy and has paved groundwork for the Korean peninsula to get rid of the Cold War system that has persisted for more than seven decades.
However, some dishonest forces of the U.S. keep making such wild remarks as "sanctions and pressure" while reacting to the DPRK's strategic decision like a persecution maniac. This is nothing but a sleep-talking of those who are still mired in the anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK.
Americans have to ponder over the destiny and prospect of their country, clearly understanding the deep meaning enshrined in the crucial measure of the DPRK, before going rude.
To build a peaceful world without war is the goal of the WPK and it is the consistent stand of our Party and government to struggle for the regional and global peace and security.
The April plenary meeting more evidently clarified the stand and will of the DPRK to open up a new phase for peace in the Korean peninsula and, furthermore, in Northeast Asia. This also conforms with not only the interests of the Korean nation and the regional people but also the common expectation of the international community.
It is the voice of the world public opinion that as the DPRK took an epoch-making measure, this should naturally be responded with sincerity for the development of the situation, not missing the opportunity.
To keep brandishing the rotten "sanctions" stick, not understanding the trend of the times, will only provoke the laughter of the world.
What is needed for the U.S. is to learn how to observe good manners and how to respect the party concerned, not resorting to high-handed practices and arrogance. -0
Spokesperson of Korea-Japan Interchange Association Flays NHK
Pyongyang, April 27 (KCNA) -- The NHK of Japan aired a so-called "special programme" several times in mid-April by hurling good-for-nothing riffraff in a bid to cast a vicious slur on the DPRK as a "criminal state" and, not content with this, heavily maligned the dignity of its supreme leadership, which is an unpardonable hideous crime.
A spokesperson for the Korea-Japan Interchange Association, in a statement on Thursday, condemned the NHK, no more than a Japanese right-wing reactionaries' mouthpiece, for daring hurt the supreme leadership of the DPRK just like a fool always rushing to the fore, branding it as an intolerable insult and a grave challenge to the DPRK.
The statement censured the criminal acts of the NHK as the height of an evil deed that can be done only by those villains who are steeped in hostility towards the DPRK to the marrow, nasty hack writers who are parasitic on power.
The "special programme" aired by the NHK is a hideous fraud made up of forgery and fabrication from A to Z, the statement said, and went on:
As well known worldwide, the NHK is a notorious den of hack writers which is famed to often ransack a "dustbin."
The mad acts of the NHK lay bare the disturbed feelings of the Japanese reactionaries taken aback by the formidable power and influence of the DPRK that has towered as a world's strategic state with pride. It is nothing but a last-ditch effort of the political dwarfs of the lonely island nation that has been marginalized from the fresh stream of history and doomed to sink like a setting sun.
Lurking behind the hideous provocation is a sinister intention of the Abe regime to prolong its remaining days on the wane by diverting elsewhere the public opinion critical of it, as it faces impeachment for its political immaturity and corruption.
The Japanese conservative media that stoke confrontation and war and abet injustice are a very high-profile crime syndicate spelling all evils.
A short tongue can put a long neck at stake.
The NHK must be dearly punished for running helter-skelter with its anti-DPRK propaganda.
It must kneel down and make an apology to the people of the DPRK, well aware of the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by its anti-DPRK false propaganda.
The Japanese reactionary media will have to pay dearly for such hideous crimes as daring point an accusing finger at the sun. -0-

Kim Jong Un Sees Off Train Carrying Chinese Bodies, Wounded
After being informed of a suggestion of Chinese comrades that the bodies and the wounded of China be sent to the Chinese proper as soon as possible, the respected Supreme Leader saw to it that the formation of a train was made and took measures to ensure that the bodies and the wounded were sent in a responsible manner, accompanied by leading officials of the Party and Government, technical officials and medical workers.
At the railway station he met Li Jinjun, Chinese ambassador to the DPRK, and once again expressed deep condolences and apology to the bereave families of the victims over the unexpected, tragic disaster the close Chinese friends suffered in our land.
He said that he and the Party and Government are poignantly feeling the responsibility for the accident. Though he knows well neither word nor consolation nor compensation can allay the pain of the people who lost their beloved family members, he wanted to console the Chinese comrades even a bit with all efforts we can do, he said, and conveyed a consolatory message and money.
And he said that he would strictly investigate and handle the serious accident and take strong measures to thoroughly prevent the recurrence of such accident.
He saw off the train with a bitter grief together with Premier of the Cabinet Pak Pong Ju and other senior officials of the Party and Government.

U.S. Must Be Sit in Human Rights Dock: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- The U.S. State Department published "country report on human rights for 2017" on April 20.
The U.S. takes issue with human rights performance in other countries by publishing the country report every year as if it were a "human rights judge".
This time it arbitrarily judged human rights performance in 199 countries, viciously slandering the DPRK over its "human rights issue".
By nature, the U.S. is the worst human rights abuser with neither justifications nor face to talk about human rights of other countries.
As for gun-related crimes alone, a man-killing crime which is cancer-like in this country has been committed one after another in various regions including California, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Florida.
No wonder, Obama, during his office, admitted that he came to realize as president that progress is hard and there are some points disappointing in our society.
For the U.S. to take issue with "human rights" issue in other countries and make profound confusing of the right and the wrong while shelving the hideous human rights performance in its own country, where all sorts of injustice, deprivation of rights and social evils stalk, is a wanton distortion of genuine human rights and an intolerable challenge to international justice and conscience.
In a bid to give impression that it is interested in "defending human rights", the U.S. is finding fault with human rights performances in other countries with its misguided human rights stick as a yardstick, and becoming vocal that democracy is violated and freedom is suppressed. But its true aim is to disintegrate those countries which are disobedient to it and to create a pretext for political, military and economic aggression and pressure.
The U.S. is faulting the DPRK, the most advantageous, dignified and cradle of genuine life of working people in the world, with ungrounded data. It is a revelation of the U.S. sinister intention to check the advance of the DPRK and bring down its social system.
The U.S. is in the human rights dock as it is the hotbed and kingpin of human right abuses.
However, it is talking about "human rights issue" of other countries under the helmet of "human rights judge". This is really ridiculous and reminds one of a thief crying stop the thief.
The U.S. had better mind its own hideous human rights issue, before poking its nose into others' affairs while styling itself an "international human rights judge". -0-

Arrogance of De Facto Ruler: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- The U.S. recently held negotiations over the conclusion of "special agreement on defense cost sharing" with south Korea and pressurized the south Korean authorities to bear "defense cost sharing" running into astronomical figures.
It urged south Korea to include the expenses for deployment of U.S. strategic assets on the Korean peninsula in the "defense cost" and double the expenses for the upkeep of the U.S. forces in south Korea.
This clearly proves the U.S. nature as the de facto ruler in south Korea as it is an unwarranted demand in disregard of the difficult south Korean economy and the right of the people to existence.
It is a well-known fact that the U.S. has constantly forced south Korea to increase the "share of expenses for defense."
South Korea has annually borne tremendous amount of fund running at nearly one trillion won or half of the expenses for the upkeep of the U.S. forces in south Korea.
The "expense for defense" forced on south Korea to pay to the U.S. has annually increased by tens of billions won to make the expense for this year hit 960 billion won.
In light of the aggressive nature of the U.S. forces in south Korea and their criminal history, the word of "expenses for defense" does not make sense. Instead, the U.S. has to make compensation to the south Koreans for causing huge damage and disaster through its forces' presence in south Korea.
However, the U.S. has so far acquired the money, collection of taxes from south Korean people, under the pretext of "expense for defense" and used it for expanding U.S. military bases and frantically conducting war moves. They even charged interests to gratify their desire and unhesitatingly uttered words that "defense share of south Korea is a petty amount".
It reminds one of the uninvited guest storming other's house and urging the owner to pay a charge. This height of arrogance and ferocity is something deplorable that can be found only in south Korea.
In the earth there are not a few countries and territories which house the U.S. military bases, but there is no place like south Korea which offers fund running into the astronomical figures as "expense for defense", instead of receiving the rent from the U.S.
If one reads other's face without one's own principle, one can never get rid of the shameful yoke of bearing the war expenses for outsiders against fellow countrymen.
The farce for negotiations over "defense cost sharing" staged by the U.S. and south Korean authorities at a time when the situation on the Korean peninsula is changing into a phase of détente will invite strong denunciation and rejection by the south Koreans from all walks of life. -0-

Only South Koreans' Destiny Will Be Intercepted by THAAD: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities persist in the deployment of THAAD for aggression, going against the present trend of the times and the public desire toward peace and détente.
Getting zealous in the procurement of materials and equipment for the interior project of the THAAD base, they are quenching the south Koreans' struggle against it.
This is an intolerable challenge to the just struggle of the south Koreans to end the political and military domination by outsiders and defend the rights to living and safety.
However vocal the south Korean authorities may become in the usefulness of THAAD, its traitorous nature and danger can never be concealed.
THAAD is a high-altitude theatre air defense system which the U.S. and the Park Geun Hye group of conservatives illegally introduced defying the rejection by all the compatriots and the international community under the pretext of "coping with missile threats from the north".
Its deployment is a traitorous act of turning south Korea into an advance base for the U.S. hegemonic strategy and leaving it as a priority strike task of neighboring countries as unanimously asserted by many experts of the world that "THAAD can never intercept the DPRK's missiles in the near location and its more efficient function is to provide fortress to the U.S. theatre missile defense system by monitoring the strategic missile activities of China and Russia".
That's why the present chief executive of south Korea had denounced the U.S. and the Park Geun Hye conservative group's scheme for THAAD deployment before he came to power, saying that "the THAAD controversy makes us feel shame to brag ourselves as genuine sovereign state" and "we demand suspension of THAAD".
The south Korean authorities now suppress the struggle of the people against the THAAD base construction, persistently pushing forward with it. This can not but be a criminal act little short of willing to follow in the footsteps of traitor Park Geun Hye ill-famed for evil doings.
It is preposterous for the south Korean authorities to talk about peace over THAAD.
The south Koreans from all walks of life are now becoming assertive in their call for withdrawal of THAAD which had been introduced under the pretext of the north's ballistic missile test-fire, which was stopped.
It is natural for the south Korean authorities to respond with the withdrawal of THAAD urgently as demanded by the rapidly-changed present situation and the public mindset since they described its deployment as "temporary measure".
But the present authorities remain attached to the U.S.-made war monster and do not bother to offer the taxes collected from people to outsiders as expense for its operation.
The aggression-minded outsiders only will benefit from THAAD and it is only the destiny of the south Koreans that will be intercepted by it.
The south Korean authorities have to make a proper decision, mindful that they will only face misfortune if they keep such trouble-maker as THAAD.
The south Koreans from all walks of life should courageously turn out in the struggle to remove THAAD posing threat to the sovereignty and safety of the nation. -0-

However vocal the south Korean authorities may become in the usefulness of THAAD, its traitorous nature and danger can never be concealed.
THAAD is a high-altitude theatre air defense system which the U.S. and the Park Geun Hye group of conservatives illegally introduced defying the rejection by all the compatriots and the international community under the pretext of "coping with missile threats from the north".
Its deployment is a traitorous act of turning south Korea into an advance base for the U.S. hegemonic strategy and leaving it as a priority strike task of neighboring countries as unanimously asserted by many experts of the world that "THAAD can never intercept the DPRK's missiles in the near location and its more efficient function is to provide fortress to the U.S. theatre missile defense system by monitoring the strategic missile activities of China and Russia".
That's why the present chief executive of south Korea had denounced the U.S. and the Park Geun Hye conservative group's scheme for THAAD deployment before he came to power, saying that "the THAAD controversy makes us feel shame to brag ourselves as genuine sovereign state" and "we demand suspension of THAAD".
The south Korean authorities now suppress the struggle of the people against the THAAD base construction, persistently pushing forward with it. This can not but be a criminal act little short of willing to follow in the footsteps of traitor Park Geun Hye ill-famed for evil doings.
It is preposterous for the south Korean authorities to talk about peace over THAAD.
The south Koreans from all walks of life are now becoming assertive in their call for withdrawal of THAAD which had been introduced under the pretext of the north's ballistic missile test-fire, which was stopped.
It is natural for the south Korean authorities to respond with the withdrawal of THAAD urgently as demanded by the rapidly-changed present situation and the public mindset since they described its deployment as "temporary measure".
But the present authorities remain attached to the U.S.-made war monster and do not bother to offer the taxes collected from people to outsiders as expense for its operation.
The aggression-minded outsiders only will benefit from THAAD and it is only the destiny of the south Koreans that will be intercepted by it.
The south Korean authorities have to make a proper decision, mindful that they will only face misfortune if they keep such trouble-maker as THAAD.
The south Koreans from all walks of life should courageously turn out in the struggle to remove THAAD posing threat to the sovereignty and safety of the nation. -0-
Steel-strong force of Juche defending the socialist gains of the Korean people -special article on the occasion of the 86th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean People's Army by Dr Dermot Hudson
Today the Korean People's Army (KPA), commanded by dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is the sentential standing guard over the socialist achievements of the Korean people, their lives, their happiness and indeed their future hopes and aspirations . Indeed the KPA defends not only the independence and territorial integrity but peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region.
Watching grand military parades of the KPA in April 2012, July 2013, October 2015 and April 2017 I was deeply impressed by the overwhelming and awesome might of the KPA , particularly when tanks and rockets thundered past . I could only stare in wonder and marvel at the great achievements of the Juche-based and Songun-based Korean People's Army founded by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG , developed by the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL over the course of his decades long Songun revolutionary leadership and commanded by respected Marshal KIM JONG UN for the past 6 years . The achievements of the KPA seem even more incredible when you consider that it came from the most humble beginnings.
Really it all began with just two pistols that were bequeathed to the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG by this father Mr KIM HYONG JIK , who was also the founder and leader of the Korean National Association . The young KIM IL SUNG realised that it was useless to try and liberate Korea through peaceful means and instead put forward the slogan of “Oppose arms with arms and oppose counterrevolutionary violence with revolutionary violence! .He founded the Korean Revolutionary Army in July 1930 . Then on the 25th of April 1932 in the deep forests of Manchuria the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG founded the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army(AJPGA) , the first revolutionary people's armed force of Juche and the forerunner of today's Korean People's Army.
Under the leadership of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG , an ever victorious iron-willed brilliant commander and giflted military strategist , fought a David and Goliath struggle against
Japanese imperialism ,that was armed to the teeth. In those days the Korean people had no state or rear base to rely on . Instead they either seized weapons from the Japanese imperialists or made their own weapons such as the Yongil bomb. In the 1934 the AJPGA became the Korean People's Revolutionary Army(KPRA). It fought hundreds of battles against the marauding and vicious Japanese imperialist occupiers , smiting them many times over . Eventually Korea was liberated from Japanse imperialism.
The great leader President KIM IL SUNG made transforming the guerrilla based KPRA into the regular Korean People's Army which was founded on the 8th of February 1948. The KPA had a baptism of fire in the Fatherland Liberation War unleashed by the US imperialists and south Korean puppet reactionaries in June 1950 . By applying Juche-orientated tactics and Songun based tactics the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG led the KPA and Korean people to a great victory over US imperialism the first time that the US imperialists had been defeated.
After the Korean war
the US imperialists continued their provocations against the DPRK but
were smashed each time by the heroic KPA under the command of the
great revolutionary leader generalissimo KIM IL SUNG. This included the
"Pueblo" incident of 1968, the EC121 incident, the
Panmunjom incident and others. I remember in December 1994 turning on the radio one wintry morning and learning that anti-aircraft gunners of the KPA had downed a Yankee helicopter with one shot !
Under the command of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the KPA thwarted all the attempts of the US imperialists and their stooges to provoke a second Korean War (or World War Three) on the Korean peninsula .
The KPA founded 86 years ago ,is an army strong in both armament and ideology . It is the steel-strong force of Juche which defends the independence and socialism of Juche Korea ! Long live the 86th anniversary of the Korean People's Army !

DPRK's great victory in building the economy and nuclear force in parallel-special article by Dr Dermot Hudson
On the 20th of April the Workers' Party of Korea convened the 3rd Plenary Meeting of its 7th Central Committee. At the meeting it was decided to discontinue nuclear and ICBM tests , why ? because the DPRK had actually won victory in the struggle to implement the dual line of building the economy and nuclear force , the DPRK had completed its state nuclear force and became a nuclear power of Juche . Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN declared that"the victory of the WPK's line was won and thus the struggle of the Korean people who worked hard with their belt tightened to acquire a powerful treasured sword for defending peace was successfully concluded and the firm guarantee by which our descendents can enjoy the most dignified and happiest life in the world was provided".
Thus there is no longer the need to carry out nuclear tests or ICBM tests. The work of building up the nuclear force has been concluded.Korea which once could even produce simple rifles in the past is now a fully fledged nuclear and rocket power standing on equal terms with other countries big and small. Thanks to the DPRK's nuclear deterrent the Korean people and future generations can enjoy the blue sky in the mornings and enjoy peace without having their lives darkened by war and foreign intervention .The DPRK is now able to sit down and negotiate from a position of strength and negotiate with others.
The news took the world by storm and evoked all kinds of reactions from across the globe,mostly positive. The imperialist media tried to paint the annoucement of discontuination of nuclear and ICBM tests as a unilateral concession by the DPRK . Some people worried about what would happen to the DPRK.
It should be emphasised that to contrary to what some people are saying , the DPRK has not agreed to the one-sided denuclearisaton , basically unilateral disarmament that the imperialists want for the DPRK .The goal of the US imperialists and other imperialists is to force the DPRK to give up its nuclear deterrent , so-called "complete , irreversible and verifiable disarmament " and at the same time dismantle the Juche-based socialist system of the DPRK through "reform" and "opening up. This is the twin track policy of US and world imperialism. Of course the DPRK is committed to a nuclear free Korean peninsula and indeed a world without nuclear weapons but this can only be achieved by fair methods .The US must end its nuclear threat to the DPRK and withdraw its nuclear weapons from in and around the Korean peninsula .
In March 2013 the line of building the nuclear force and economy in parallel had been put forward at the meeting plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party . This line became known as Pyongjin(sometimes calleds Byungjin). This was a truly amazing and revolutionary line , which was essentially a creative development of the line of building the economy and defence in parallel that was first advanced by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG in 1962. The Korean people led by dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN have defied the sanctions and pressure of the imperialists and built the economy and nuclear force in parallel. Although sanction after sanction was applied by the US and UNSC the DPRK self-reliantly built the economy and nuclear force in parallel without deflection or marking time .
During the period from March 2013 and April 2018 , the DPRK carried out three nuclear tests including two for the H bomb as well as tests of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles .In the same period the DPRK carried out more 20 tests of missiles and rockets including Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles , Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles and Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles. Basically Juche Korea raced across the nuclear finishing line and become a proud member of the nuclear club which consists of a small number of countries such as the US, UK ,France , Russia , China , Israel , India and Pakistan . Similarly the ICBM club is an elite exclusive club of just 6 or 7 countries . My own country Britain which once styled itself as having an empire "on which the sun never set " , does not have it own ICBMs . The DPRK has both its own ICBMs and Nukes , more importantly it has total control over them, it does not have to ask the permission of another country to fire its ICBMs nor does any other country have a second key to operate the DPRK's nuclear weapons !
I remember being in the DPRK in September 2016 when the DPRK carried out both nuclear and missile tests. On the 9th of September when I was going into the Ponghwa Art Theatre in the afternoon ,suddenly my guide turned to me and said in a quiet but determined voice "this morning we have successfully tested the nuclear warhead ". Later that night I saw on tv the veteran DPRK news announcer Ri Chun Hee announce the nuclear test . On the day that I arrived , the 6th of September, the DPRK had conducted most impressive test of a road launched ICBM .I was able to watch on to watch it on TV during the evening of my arrival . I could only marvel at the majestic sight of the road launched missiles blasting off from the Pyongyang-Kaesong motorway.
At the same time the economy of the DPRK was built up. Despite have to spend resources on building nuclear weapons the DPRK as well harsh and draconian sanctions , the DPRK pressed ahead with truly massive construction projects such as building Mirae Scientists' Street and Ryomyong Street, projects that if carried out in the Western countries would cost billions and billions of dollars but Juche Korea completed these in a short space of time with its own resources and labour. The DPRK has won victory on both fronts.
Concluding that victory has been achieved in implementing the line of dual build up of the economy and nuclear force, respected Marshal KIM JONG UN put forward a new revolutionary strategy of socialist economic construction. Juche Korea will not rest on its laurels but rush forward to a new and higher goal. The DPRK is now going to press head with socialist economic construction under the banner of self-reliance and self-development and devote all efforts to this goal .This line will improve people's living standards and make Juche based ,Korean socialism even better and more prosperous than before . The goal is in the words of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN to " put the national economy on a Juche, modern, IT and scientific basis and provide all the people with affluent and highly civilized life so that they can live as well as others."
Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN stressed that "that the core and main principle of the new revolutionary line of the Party is self-reliance" .In my view self-reliance is the most correct and revolutionary method to build socialism. In fact it is a weapon against the imperialists that is more powerful than a 1,000 H bombs . It will enable the Korean people to splendidly build socialism by their own resources and at the same time shut out capitalism and imperialism .
Having victoriously concluded the work of building the economy and nuclear force in parallel , the Korean people will now go to build a self-reliant socialist people's paradise !
