Dear listeners! Today's 'Online Solidarity Seminar with People's Korea Against US imperialism' is not only to support the People's Korea in these very 'hot days', when the American imperialists intensify dangerous provocations and activate their military forces right on the Demilitarized Zone with the People's Korea, but also to show the true face of this imperialism, a face hostile not only to the People's Korea, but hostile to all progressive and free world of all societies, that want to live in peace and choose their own paths of development and their own life according to their own rules and principles, not imposed by Western imperialism.
Is worth to mention on the beginning this lecture, that KFA UK activity with yesterday's picket to the US embassy and south Korean puppets embassy are nothing common with discriminating against the ordinary American people, the American working class and ordinary American citizens, who do not identify with the imperialist policies of their state and who are under the yoke of imperialist rules and political gangs of financial and economic corporations.
Let's start with a topic that has already been discussed many times but is so important that it should be constantly refreshed and shown, it is the topic of Western and imperialist hostile propaganda regarding the DPRK.
Firstly, as we know and observing in this propaganda war, we see how intensively and with the involvement of huge financial and material resources, American imperialism with its collateral allies of servile puppet state governments, is trying to convince the whole world and influence the consciousness of the people through the mass media that only it is the 'camp of true peace and democracy' and 'guardian of world peace'. The press agencies, the great corporations of the American and Western press industries of the so - called 'free world' are financed from public taxpayers and producing lies on industrial scale. If you look at them closely and confront this lies with the existing reality of the DPRK, make an analysis and compare the true life of citizens of the DPRK, and compare it to this what is actually in a given topic of fabricated lies, in fact, these lies does not have any informative value, are often unreliable in the events they describe and often forcibly dramatized. Of course. It must be like that. Because the mission of these so called 'news reports about DPRK' and their purpose is to not shows the true, but deceive and not to reliably inform about what is in reality. They can not show the reality. The truth, is quite different. Behind the 'mask' of the fake defenders of the interests of world peace, there is a powerful war machine and its arms a huge industry of producing hostile propaganda, and all forces include militaries to remain the US in a position of imperialist hegemony.
The imperialist position of the US has committed many crimes in the world and continues to do so. How hostile American imperialism is not only to the DPRK but to all of humanity, just to reminds some of the facts:
In all, the number of wars unleashed by the US just after 11th of September only, caused the deaths of 4,5 million people. And it is not only due to the military attacks but to their consequences such as a violence, hunger, destruction and disease. However, this number is still growing as the consequences of conflict persist. According to the data only 3,6 - 3,7 millions people died from the reasons described as 'indirect causes' such as a deterioration of economic, environmental, psychological conditions and the health situation. We all also know the huge number of victims of American aggression in Korea, or other military aggressions in Vietnam or Syria or Iraq.
This is the face of American imperialism.
To understand DPRK meets with such fierce hostility, to understand why the existence of a free, independent and wanting to go their own way - the way of building socialism according to the Juche idea, we need to understand the nature of imperialism presented in their international politic by the dominated by the bourgeois classes and capitalist financial and economic corporations government of the USA.
They created this policy hostile to the DPRK and we should look beyond them and create a world of Western media manipulations and lies. The interests of world imperialism and its main player on the world stage, which is the US, clash and contradict the interests of the existence of a free and socialist state of the DPRK. The interest of imperialism is to maintain hegemony and domination in the world, subjugation for exploitation and economic gain. Capitalism is ruled by profit. In order to have a profit, you need to constantly spend new efforts and resources. In order to gain these exhausting forces and means, one must constantly conquer them even by military force.
The press agencies of the so - called 'free world' from the great corporations of the American and Western press about DPRK, if you look at them closely and confront them with the existing reality, make an analysis and compare with what is actually in a given topic, in fact they do not have any informative value, are often unreliable in the events they describe and often forcibly dramatized.
It must go that way. Because the mission of these news reports about DPRK and their purpose is to deceive and unreliably inform about what is in reality.
In this process of 'distorting' the truth and reality of Korea's DPRK into shameful lies and portraying this great country as a terrifying place that no sane person would think of saying anything good, it is definitely within the purview of the propaganda masters in Washington, heavily paid by the imperialist politicians. We must understand the essential fact that any government that truly challenges capitalism or imperialism will stand, is the subject of an uninterrupted campaign of slander and lies conducted by 'reputable' and 'serious' commentators, and sooner or later becomes the object of propaganda but also a military attack from the US. This was the case with Syria, Iraq, Yugoslavia ... However, in the case of the DPRK, the case is different. Here, the American imperialists, despite many provocations, are and will be afraid of open conflict. Because the strength and defense potential of the DPRK, not only technical, but above all concentrated in the power of patriotism and anti - imperialist approach, is able to wipe out not only American imperialism but all its vassals - allies. Why does the existence of a free and independent state that wants to go its own way, independent of anyone, meet with such fierce resistance and constant attacks from the resistance dominated by bourgeois classes and circles of capitalist corporations who shape hostility to the DPRK?
There are also historical reasons. The Second World War in the Pacific area was for the most part a competition between the economic interests of the United States and economic interests of Japan for control of the Pacific, including the Korean peninsula. Japan was occupied Korea from 1910 to 1945 then the Japanese oppressors were driven out by the Korean resistance movement, whose leader was the founder of the DPRK - Kim Il Sung, then until the complete victory of the Soviet Union over fascism and into the Pacific War and beyond after Tokyo's announcement of surrender, the USA, for its economic and political interests, was constantly trying to take control of former colonial possessions of Japan, including the territory of Korea.
The activities of guerrilla warfare, waging a heroic liberation struggle and the armed resistance of the people's army under the command of Kim Il Sung thwarted these plans. Already the first decrees of the newly formed people's government expropriated the wealthy owners, large corporations and hereditary families of capitalists that dominate until today both over U.S. foreign policy and the mass media. And they have been for many generations considered the DPRK a threat to their interests. This threat is the lack of consent to their interests and the free inflow of US capital. If it were allowed, what would DPRK become today? It would be another American colony shaped as a Western neoliberal vassal model, as is the case with its southern neighbor with a puppet government controlled from Washington.
We know the reasons why the image of the DPRK is distorted and changed in the media. This was and is also the case with the Korean War. Perpetuated in the world and constantly repeated lie about the 'aggression' and 'attack' of the 'northern Korean' regime on the 'southern free democracy region of Korean peninsula', is one of the most popular and widespread and constantly 'reheated' lies of Western propaganda .
How was it actually?
According to the American version, the aggression came from the north and it is the DPRK that is the aggressor, and it happened through a series of attacks along the line outlined by Americans of the artificial dividing line of the 38th parallel into a 'sovereign' country according to them. But what kind of sovereignty are we talking about in the case of a state created artificially and maintained by foreign military forces?
It is fully ridiculous for the Americans to claim that these attacks constituted a violation of an internationally recognized border state and the invasion of foreign forces. How can Koreans invade their own Korean territory with 'foreign' forces? The cruelty of American imperialism during the Korean War is unparalleled in the world. By 1953, over 3 million Koreans died on the battlefield and every building in the north, having more than one floor, American bombs turned into piles of rubble. The survivors lived in caves. Significant, though rarely mentioned, is the fact that the bombing of the air of the civilian population has become a distinctive way the conduct of wars by the imperialist powers, including - from the time of II World War by the USA. As a result of the long term subdivision of the Korean peninsula, more perpetuated by the war two socio - political and economic systems were created, one, a southern neo - colonial entity without its own identity and sovereignty, which cemented the former power and wealth of a small class of landowners, compradors and Japanese collaborators through the neoliberal principles of uncivilized and anti - human capitalism, protected by American troops stationed, and the other north of the People's Korea - which, as a result of initiating far - reaching reforms in the interest of the majority of the broad masses of society, built a system of social justice and prosperity under the banner of Juche socialism.
Also to understand the past and present provocations of US imperialism, one must understand the very nature of imperialism and its capitalist oppressive character.
It must be said that hatred and attempts to destroy revolutionary governments have always been part of US official policy. These goals were attempted to be achieved by exporting the so - called 'color revolutions' and organizing resistance with financial and organizational support in those countries that have not accepted and do not want to adopt the Western - style liberal capitalist model of the Yankee colony at the service of the US elite. And also by using developed trade embargo strategies and putting pressure on other countries to have these implemented ostensibly to 'defend the values of democracy' or create 'a free democratic world'. In the past, the USA has always armed and financed the enemies of socialist countries, i.e. those whose democracy comes from the will of the people and not from the circle of capitalist elites ruthlessly plundering the rest of society through exploitation and oppression with the state machine, working from public taxes and on the order of international economic and political corporations gangs. In the past, the USA also always violated the borders of socialist countries, threatened with nuclear weapons, and shouted anti - socialist and pro - capitalist fables to its citizens, propaganda shriek and gibberish of propaganda full of lies and distortions. Refraining from nothing that might hinder the efforts of these States to build prosperous, independent and non - exploitative societies; by blocking the supply of essential goods and forcing them to bear the crippling burden of defense spending, the Americans present the resulting economic woes as evidence of the mismanagement and inherent shortcomings of revolutionary socialism.
The history of the DPRK is rich and complex, with episodes of Japanese colonialism, guerrilla warfare in the 1930s with the historic birth of the epoch - making Juche philosophy, repeated attempts to unite the country that have always been boycotted by US imperialism, and US imperialism's consolidation of the post - war occupation regime in the south. And also the shameful holocaust that the United States, under the banner of the United Nations, inflicted on her in the early 1950s. The history and present time of the DPRK are marked by constant struggles and efforts to maintain independence from other countries in the face of the expansion of the United States striving for world domination and the imposition of colonial shackles.

The history and present time of the DPRK are marked by constant struggles and efforts to maintain independence from other countries in the face of the expansion of the United States striving for world domination and the imposition of colonial shackles. But, the history of DPRK, its creation and development, is also full of great and glorious achievements. The DPRK implemented economic justice, equality, women's rights, and freedom from the domination of all foreign powers. But at every step along this difficult road, paid for with blood as in the Korean War, she had to face the stubborn resistance of the United States, and how often she was alone in this fight, without help, on the contrary, DPRK has fought and continues to fight open hostility from developed capitalist countries alone.
In this fight, the DPRK showed the world that US imperialism is not an insurmountable force. Korean national pride and great revolutionary spirit are to this day a flame that is immortal and indestructible. This flame is inextinguishable and the revolutionary spirit resurrected by the great father of the nation, Kim Il Sung, is invincible, because it is the truly strength of the people's masses, the strength of minds and hearts united in a victorious march in building a world, where man is the master of the world and transforming world due to his needs and demands. In this world, directed by the immortal Juche idea, exploitation man by man and oppression does not exist. It is contrary to liberal and capitalist world full of inequality, war and violence. It is a wonderful world of equality and lack of any divisions, justice, prosperity and a happy, liberated and full rich life in every aspect of human nature. This world is created by DPRK citizens to lead the only correct political - economic - social system, which is Juche socialism.
US imperialism threats to People’s Korea and regime change plans are very real and not just on paper . Last year the journalist Abby Martin showed film footage which showed US and south Korean troops practicing attacking mock-ups of what were clearly homes in the DPRK.
In March the US and south Korea resumed the large - scale military exercises, that Trump put on hold from 2018. Although many here will disagree with the domestic politics of Trump and his general personality, Biden is a far worse warmonger than Trump and he is very hostile to the DPRK.
From the 13th of March this year for 11 days the 'Freedom Shield' war exercises were actually greater in scale than the old Foal Eagle exercises. A B1 nuclear bomber was involved and the nuclear aircraft carrier Howard Lorenzen. Significantly the exercises included 'leadership removal' and beheading operations drills which clearly aim at the destruction of the socialist system of the DPRK. Five rounds of live fire annihilation drills which began in May are being staged by the US and south Korean militaries and will conclude in a few days time.
Therefore, our important task, goal and subject of all activities, should be to actively defend the truth about the DPRK and show the face of American imperialism in this truth. Let our enemies know that the truth about People's Korea will be preached with even greater ferocity and intensity by us, more than all their invented lies. Let's not remain passive. Let's be active.
Let them know, that the support and love of the free Korean people, love and dignity to achievements of Juche style socialism, is on our mouths and in our hearts, and we are ready to act and defend the People's Korea with militancy and the revolutionary spirit of Mount Paektu, with the slogan of the Korean People's Army - 'Do or Die!'
Defend People's Korea with NO IFS and with NO BUTS! Manse!
