We say No to Fukushima wastewater discharge!

 

We say No to Fukushima wastewater discharge!   Strong protests against Japan's discharge of nuclear wastes are being carried out across south Korea. Attending the pickets are almost every civic organization as well as the outs and religionists. The protestors bitterly condemn the US and traitorous Yoon's clique providing shelter to Japan which is hell-bent on discharging wastewater to sea.       Japan's discharge of nuclear wastes will be visited with punishment of heaven!         No dumping Fukushima's radioactive water! In denunciation of Yoon's regime, a mouthpiece of Japan

 

Let us launch a vigorous action for peace against war!

 

Let us launch a vigorous action for peace against war!   Ulji Freedom Shield, a large-scale nuclear war drill against north Korea is being staged in south Korea now. Joint field maneuver with a drastic extension of its scale is carried out and even citizens are committed to the civil defense training. Moreover, even the US space force is mobilized in the drill for the first time in history and more than 30 joint field maneuvers are being conducted according to a scenario called "urgent switch to war". Ulji Freedom Shield is being staged hysterically for carrying out the plan for the nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula which had been concretized as well as formulated at the US, Japan and south Korea summit held in the US. The present situation urgently requires the whole people to turn out in all-out action for smashing the aggressive maneuvers of the US and the south Korean warmongers and safeguarding peace. People from various circles should wage a fierce nationwide action to hold in check the US-south Korea joint military drills at once, facing up to reality which a calamity of nuclear war stares themselves in the face. All the people should kindle the flames of massive struggle to break up the aggressive and subordinate south Korea-US alliance and banish the USFK, the root of evil causing every disaster, to America throughout south Korea. Broad strata of south Korean people should furthermore energetically conduct a nationwide campaign to remove Yoon Suk-yeol, a war servitor of the US and Japan from the presidency. South Korean people from all walks of life including workers, peasants and young students who value independence, justice and peace should fight against the US, war and Yoon in perfect harmony till all is blue.

KPA General Staff Releases Report

Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The General Staff of the Korean People's Army released the following report on August 30:

On August 30 the U.S. imperialists let a formation of B-1B nuclear strategic bombers conduct a joint attack formation drill against the DPRK together with fighters of the military gangsters of the "Republic of Korea" in the sky above the East and West Seas of Korea.

The drill, staged at a time when the enemies' adventurous aggressive war exercises Ulji Freedom Shield reached their height, is a serious threat to the DPRK as it was just pursuant to the scenario for a preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK.

The enemies opened this fact to the press and loudly advertise it as a "demonstration of the implementation of the extended deterrence" against the DPRK.

This is little short of informing the world that they made the preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK a fait accompli and are putting it into practice.

To cope with this, the KPA staged a tactical nuclear strike drill simulating scorched earth strikes at major command centers and operational airfields of the "ROK" military gangsters on Wednesday night.

The tactical nuclear-armed unit of the KPA in the western region of the country conducted the relevant military activities.

The missile unit fired two tactical ballistic missiles northeastward at Pyongyang International Airport and correctly carried out its nuclear strike mission through air bursts at a preset altitude of 400 meters above the target island.

The drill is aimed to send a clear message to the enemies, who responded the DPRK's repeated warnings with such military threat as deployment of strategic assets, and make them clearly realize once again the DPRK's resolute punitive will and substantive retaliation capabilities.

The KPA will never overlook the rash acts of the U.S. forces and the "ROK" military gangsters. -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Training Command Post of KPA General Staff

 

Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), visited the training command post of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) on August 29 to learn about the state of the command drill involving the whole army.

Accompanying him were KPA Marshal Pak Jong Chon and General Kang Sun Nam, minister of National Defence.

He was greeted by the chief of the KPA General Staff and the director general of the KPA General Reconnaissance Bureau at the command post.

To cope with the present situation in which the U.S. and the "ROK" military gangsters have staged extremely provocative and dangerous large-scale joint exercises simulating an all-out war against the DPRK, the KPA General Staff launched a command drill involving the entire army on August 29 to judge and inspect the operational organization and commanding abilities of the commanding officers and the staff sections of the large combined units and combined units at all levels.

The drill is aimed at letting all the commanding officers and staff sections of the entire army make full preparations for war and have strong military response capability by helping them get familiar with action procedures at the time of being placed on a war footing, further enhancing their combat operation organizing and commanding ability and confirming the feasibility of operation plans.

After receiving a report from the chief of the General Staff on the movement plans of the enemy forces and the KPA anticipated according to time and stage in the event of the outbreak of a war, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un learned in detail about the organization and the state of the command drill.

He acquainted himself with the plan of the drill staff, which is aimed at occupying the whole territory of the southern half by repelling the enemy's sudden armed invasion and switching over to an all-out counterattack, and the combat documents on the operation plans of the staff sections of the large combined units and combined units at all levels to carry it out. He also examined in detail the documents on the actual operational plans of the General Staff, including the plan of using the frontline and strategic reserve artillery forces, the plan of forming a front behind the enemy lines and the plan of disrupting the entrance of outside armed forces in contingency.

He stressed the need to pay the greatest attention to making the enemy dispirited, throwing their combat action into confusion and paralyzing their will and ability to fight a war from the outset by dealing heavy blows at their war potential and war command center and blinding their means of command communication at the initial stage of operation. And he detailed the comprehensive tasks, principled requirements and ways to be maintained by the KPA in the future operation planning and command and war preparations, including the issue of surely taking the strategic initiative by making simultaneous super-intense strikes at the pivotal military command centers, military ports, operational airfields and other important enemy military targets and core objects whose destruction may cause a series of socio-political and economic chaos and by combining and applying non-stop mopping-up warfare, front-line offensive operations and operations of harassing the enemy's rear in a composite and organic manner, and in particular, the issue of taking thoroughgoing steps to protect the striking means from any enemy counteraction, and the issue of comprehensively updating the operation command system and fire command communications mode.

Noting that modern war is a showdown characterized by the campaign of brains, he said that victory or defeat in war is decided first by brains of the commanding officers before the start of fighting. He urged all the commanding officers of the army to conduct the staff drill and operational combat situation control exercises intensively under an environment simulating an actual war to acquire exceptional organizing ability and superb commanding art, and thus fully prepare themselves to be all-round combatants and confident men of ability who are flexible in actual war, not in mere training.

Saying that the busy military moves of the U.S. and the "ROK" military gangsters and their frequent and expanded military exercises under different codenames constitute a clear revelation of their scheme for invading the DPRK, he again stressed the need for the DPRK to thoroughly counter them.

Issuing a series of important instructions for further intensifying the operation command drill, actual maneuvers and actual war exercises of the KPA, as required by the prevailing state security environment and situation, he clarified the comprehensive tasks and ways for more definitely completing the war preparations.

The KPA commanding officers further hardened their militant conviction and outlook on war after receiving the great military programme from Kim Jong Un. They are burning with the will to accelerate the war preparations and thus mercilessly wipe out the enemies and put the whole territory of the southern half under control anytime once an order is issued by him. -0-

Speech of KFA Germany to the online meeting 25.08.2023

Speech of KFA Germany to the Online Meeting on 25.08.2023
Dear comrade Dr. Dermot Hudson,
Dear comrades of the KFA UK and all other KFA branches,
at this meeting, we are celebrating the beginning of the Songun revolutionary leadership in the
DPRK and the foundation of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea.

Songun means military first. Pacifists and other idealists may scream, that this would be militarism
and that the resources used for self-defense should be used for other things like healthcare,
education etc. But these people forget, that the DPRK has its strong military for a reason. After the
liberation of Korea, the US occupied the southern half of Korea. In 1950, the US invaded the
northern part of Korea, trying to destroy the DPRK. Today, the US-imperialists are preparing to
start a nuclear war against people's Korea. The only way to secure the achievements of socialism,
the free housing, -healthcare and -education, the high quality of life, the freedom from taxation,
exploitation and oppression, is by having a strong military, defending it. The DPRK will need this
weapon until imperialism is destroyed, which maybe isn't that far in the future, considering the
breakdown of the imperialist colonial system and the economic crisis of the imperialist states.

I want to thank KFA UK in the name of all of KFA Germany for organizing this great meeting and
informing the people about the importance of the Songun politics and the truth about People's
Korea. The class enemy tried to stop you, by deleting posts and whole sites on social media
platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter. But KFA UK can't be silenced and doubled its efforts,
continuing to inform the people about the truth about People's Korea.
Down with US-imperialism!
Down with the south Korean puppets!
Long live the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea!
Glory to the DPRK!

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Pays Congratulatory Visit to KPA Navy Command

 

Pyongyang, August 29 (KCNA) -- The Juche-based naval force, which has won great fame, making the immortal history of heroic combats to defend the sea of the country along the immutable course of loyalty under the ever-victorious Workers' Party of Korea, is significantly celebrating the day of its foundation.

The Navy of the Korean People's Army (KPA), which declared its solemn start with the foundation of a new Korea fleet on August 28, Juche 38 (1949), has firmly defended the territorial waters and dignity of the DPRK for more than 70 years, glorifying its militant course of victory and glory full of matchless heroism and courage.

Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, visited the KPA Navy Command on August 27, with the Navy Day just ahead, to congratulate and encourage all the service personnel of the valiant People's Navy.

Accompanying him were KPA Marshals Ri Pyong Chol and Pak Jong Chon and Minister of National Defence Kang Sun Nam.

When the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un arrived at the Navy Command together with his beloved daughter, the officers and men of the Navy there broke into enthusiastic cheers, full of the emotion and joy of coming to high glory and privilege on its significant foundation day.

There took place a ceremony of greeting the Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the DPRK.

After receiving a salute from the head of the guard of honor of the KPA Navy, Kim Jong Un reviewed the guard.

Sailors presented him with fragrant bouquets carrying the unanimous loyalty and reverence of all the service personnel of the Navy.

Kim Jong Un was greeted by Admiral Kim Myong Sik, commander of the KPA Navy, Vice-admiral Kim Chang Guk, political commissar, and other military and political commanding officers of the Navy Command, and commanders of east and west sea fleets of the Navy and heads of their surface and underwater warship flotillas and commanding officers of the special operation units with deepest reverence.

There was a march-past of the Navy guard of honor.

Kim Jong Un had a photo session, to be eternally recorded in the history of army founding, with major commanding officers of the naval force in commemoration of his congratulatory visit to the Navy Command.

He sat together with service personnel of the Navy at the servicepersons' hall of the command.

Kim Jong Un conveyed a floral basket carrying warm congratulations and militant salute on behalf of the Party and the government to all the stalwart officers and soldiers of the People's Navy on the occasion of the Navy Day, and made an important speech.

He paid high tribute to the sacred 70-odd years of the KPA Navy which has continued the course of loyalty, holding fast to the helm of faith without any veering in the raging waves, and advanced the Party's idea of attaching importance to the Navy and the strategic and tactical issues arising in strengthening the naval force into an invincible service.

Expressing belief that all the service personnel of the Navy would surely usher in a golden age of the development of the Juche-based naval force in perfect unity, he ardently called for fully demonstrating as ever the mightiness of the heroic People's Navy and waging courageous and stubborn struggle to the last to add more luster to its honor.

When he finished his speech, all the participants broke into enthusiastic cheers of "Hurrah!" with the deep emotion of greeting the historic time when a great new era of strengthening the naval force begins, and with an oath of faith to carry forward the tradition of victory of the heroic People's Navy from generation to generation.

He congratulated the holiday of the Navy once again, warmly acknowledging their enthusiastic cheers.

Guided by the commander of the Navy, he visited the operation command headquarters.

He heard a report on the enemy movements and on the operation situation of the Navy from the commander.

Going round several elements of the headquarters, he learned in detail about the actuality of the operation command and degree of IT-based situation control.

After hearing a report on the naval operation plan from the Navy commander, he set forth the Juche-based naval operational and tactical policies for definitely taking the initiative in any sudden armed conflict and war and overwhelmingly containing the enemies with preemptive and resolute offensive, in accordance with the strategic and tactical intention of the Party Central Committee.

Then, he watched a volleyball game between teams of the Navy and the Air Force held to mark the Navy Day.

The stadium was full of joy and optimism of players and supporters who came to enjoy a significant sports game in the presence of the respected Supreme Commander whom they have longed to see.

The navy team beat the air force team in the sharp game that went on amid the strong competitiveness of players for the honor of their services and enthusiastic cheering of supporters.

Kim Jong Un had a significant photo session with the officers and soldiers of the KPA Navy Command on the occasion of the Navy Day.

All the service personnel of the Navy extended gratitude to the great teacher and benevolent father who spent all day long together with them, even though he was very busy with the Party and state affairs, and provided important guidelines for developing the Navy into a group of the powerful Juche-based service and clearly indicated the course to eternal victory with great love, trust and fervent affection.

Kim Jong Un expressed great expectation and belief that all the service personnel of the brave KPA Navy would hold higher the militant slogan "We wait only for the order of the Party to set sail!", cherish the unshakable faith and confidence to overwhelm any formidable enemy, make full combat readiness for a war and thus create another new myth of victory of the heroic Navy in the life-and-death battle.

When the photo session was over, shouts of "Kim Jong Un" and "Devoted defence" by the maritime death-defying corps ready to brave even the death once they are ordered by the Party Central Committee, a-match-for-a-hundred seamen determined to annihilate those who make little of the inviolable territorial waters of the country even 0.001 mm, resounded throughout the sky of August.

Kim Jong Un warmly encouraged the reliable naval officers and men full of strong will to firmly defend the sea of the beloved homeland by successfully carrying forward the great spirit of the seamen of the preceding generations.

All the service personnel of the Navy pledged to prepare themselves more firmly to become frontline soldiers of the national defence and warriors of the sea, keeping deep in their minds the great love and feeling of blood ties shown by Kim Jong Un.

The KPA Navy gave a send-off with highest respect for Kim Jong Un who had finished his congratulatory visit to its command.

His congratulatory visit to the KPA Navy Command will be brilliantly recorded in the history of the building of the Juche-based revolutionary armed forces as an important landmark for a radical turn in bolstering up the naval force. -0-
