Great March of Songun

August 25, 1960 is a meaningful day when leader Kim Jong Il left the first footprint of his Songun revolutionary leadership.

That the leader gave on-the-spot guidance to the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 Guards Tank Division of the Korean People's Army on that historical day was a powerful declaration of his iron-like conviction and volition to accomplish on the strength of guns the Korean revolution which was pioneered and has been advanced by force of arms.

Since then he has performed undying exploits for the times and history for 50 years with the unique Songun revolutionary leadership.

Thanks to his Songun revolutionary leadership the Korean People's Army has grown to be a faithful combat rank ready to devotedly fight for the Party and the leader and a matchless powerful army equipped with both offensive and defensive means, and discharged its honorable mission as defender of the Party, revolution, homeland and people.

His Songun revolutionary leadership ensured that all domains of the socialist construction including economy and culture are vibrant with the spirit of the Songun era and create miracles and innovations one after another, striking the world with admiration.

Juche-based iron, fiber and fertilizers are mass-produced in a constant stream, a vast youth orchard appeared up, forsaken tidelands became fertile farmlands and large-scale hydropower stations got online in succession, thus the gate to a thriving nation is about to be flung open.

Also thanks to the Songun politics, genuine patriotic and anti-imperialist independent politics, a historical turnaround took place in the struggle to achieve Korea’s reunification under the idea of “By Our Nation Itself”, and the international solidarity with the Korean revolution further strengthened and the external prestige and influence of the DPRK remarkably enhanced.

Today the south Korean people keenly realize that the Songun politics of leader Kim Jong Il is the most patriotic and powerful politics and the road of Songun is the road of national prosperity, peace and reunification, and the road to display the nation’s dignity and mettle.

Various groups supporting the Songun politics were formed and the atmosphere to support it gets spread day by day.

The South Side Headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country’s Reunification, the Solidarity for Realizing the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration and other civic organizations highly praised the Songun leadership exploits of leader Kim Jong Il who steers the world politics and leads the general offensive to open the gate to a thriving nation in the van by dint of the ever-victorious Songun politics.

Major broadcasts, newspapers, magazines and Internet homepages of south Korea give wide publicity to the validity and vitality of the Songun politics.

Now the south Korean people are dynamically struggling for improved inter-Korean relations and independent reunification with the conviction that for holding in high esteem leader Kim Jong Il, peerless brilliant commander who opens up the new era for national prosperity with Songun, the Korean nation’s future is bright and the reunification cause will surely be achieved.

In different regions and countries of the world including Britain, Spain, Italy, Germany, Guinea, Mexico and Nigeria multifarious functions and information activities such as celebration rallies, film shows, photo and book exhibitions, seminars, lectures, releasing statements and posting special editions on the Internet took place on the occasion of the 50^th anniversary of the leader’s start of the Songun revolutionary leadership.

Shown in the venues of the functions and information materials are the immortal classic works of leader Kim Jong Il, photos and books on his Songun leadership exploits, the Korean people's struggle for building a thriving nation and the national reunification, praising the greatness of him who displays the dignified appearance of the immortal socialist power throughout the world resolutely confronting the imperialist allied forces with the iron-like pluck and grits.

Indeed, the glorious revolutionary exploits of Kim Jong Il who is possessed of rare ideological and theoretical wisdom, extraordinary political and military caliber and matchless pluck and grits, turned Korea into a powerful country in politics, ideology, military affairs, science and technology and opened up a turning phase in building a socialist thriving nation will last forever along with the eternal prosperity of Kim Il Sung nation.

Health System in the DPRK

Health System in the DPRK

Magaret Chan, director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), visited the DPRK in April and spoke to the reporters in high appreciation of its public health system which would be envy of most of the developing countries. The WHO’s assistant director general Eric Laroche, too, on his visit to the country two months earlier had said that the Korean people were leading a happy life under the advantageous health system.
The health system in the DPRK itself testifies to accuracy of the comments made by high-ranking officials of the WHO.

Universal free medical service with a 60-year-long history
The universal free medical service has been in effect since January 1953 in the DPRK.
It is in the limelight of the world community not only for its long history but for the precedence it gives to protection and improvement of life and health of the people above the economic calculation or interests. That is what marks it off from those based on social wealth and material guarantees found in other countries. Noteworthy is the fact that the DPRK enforced its free medical care system when it was in the middle of the war with the US (1950-1953), that is, in the grimmest days for the country.
All the citizens of the country, irrespective of occupation, sex, age, residency, quantity and quality of the work done, are equally provided with a free medical service at state expense.
Those who have lost their working ability, chronic invalids and aged patients are given more benefits, while the health of pregnant women and children are under special care of the state.
Its free medical service is perfect and thorough in content. All services are free, including treatment for both outpatients and inpatients, sick calls, diagnosis, laboratory tests, function diagnosis, operations, meals at hospitals, etc. Assistance in delivery, medical checkups, preventive vaccinations, prosthetic and dental services are also free of charge. In addition, travel expenses to and from the places of recuperation are borne by the state or social cooperative organizations.
Medical services and medicines provided by medical establishments to the inpatients as well as those prescribed for the outpatients are completely free.
The enforcement of this free medical care system in the DPRK is firmly guaranteed by the Socialist Constitution, the basic law, and the Public Health Law.

Regular medical service system
The DPRK has a dense network of medical establishments like general hospital, specialized hospital, hospital or clinic, from the highest down to the lowest unit of administration like ri and dong. According to data, there are as many as 9 000 public health agencies for the population of 24 million. The country has witnessed the increase of hygienic and anti-epidemic organs by 38 times, of hospitals by 53.8 times, and of doctors and pharmacists by 322 times during the period from 1946 to 2006.
Already in the 1970s it ranked in the advanced countries in terms of the number of doctors, medical facilities and beds for every 1 000 people.
Recently it has set up a nationwide on-line medical service system, making it possible to conduct medical treatment and health care of the people more satisfactorily and promptly.
A lot of recuperation centers making wide use of such natural treatment factors as spas, mineral waters and mud have been built across the country.
Hundreds of thousands of people have received medical services in such places for the past decade as of 2008.
Pharmaceutical and medical appliances factories managed by the central and local authorities, colleges at all levels for training medical workers, retraining courses for doctors, medical science research institutes provide the universal, free medical care system of the country with sound material and technical support.

Unique section-doctor system
Worthy of special note in the health care system in the DPRK is its section-doctor system for the households.
Its health care system has doctors assigned to certain production units and residential quarters, after taking into account all aspects required for the service such as the number of residents and their health condition, hygienic and sanitary state, doctors’ abilities and amount of their work.
Doctors always go among the residents under charge to familiarize themselves with the details of their life, including preferences for food and sanitary state both at home and work, and offer prophylactic treatment accordingly.
From the first day of birth every resident has his or her own health register, which will tag along whenever the resident changes home.
The household doctor is, as a matter of fact, in charge of the health register. It proves that everybody has his or her own family doctor in his or her lifetime.

Thoroughgoing prophylactic medical policy
The DPRK, which regards that socialist medicine is in essence prophylactic medicine, pays special attention to hygienic and anti-epidemic work, medical checkups and preventive vaccinations in order to prevent the people from falling ill.
Medical workers vigorously conduct hygienic publicity campaigns among the people to broaden their knowledge and information on hygiene, while ensuring that cities and villages are provided adequately with hygienic conditions.
They are also taking possible measures for preventive treatment by eradicating the causes of various epidemics and diseases.
All Koreans are obliged to have a routine medical check-up under the unified plan of the state and also get all sorts of vaccinations. Children in particular, should be checked up and vaccinated on scores of occasions from birth to adulthood. In the course of this various illnesses are detected early enough to be treated in time.
The law on environmental protection ensures that pollution is completely prevented and all living and working conditions are turned in favor of the people's health.
It was reported that a newly built cement factory had laid out 40% of its whole construction expenses for its dust cleaning equipment.
The fact that the DPRK had not been affected in the slightest by the AIDS, SARS and bird’s flu that threatened the lives of the world community in recent years, is a clear evidence of the great might of the prophylactic medical policy administered in the country.

Kim Il Sung Revered as Liberator of Nation

Kim Il Sung Revered as Liberator of Nation

Pyongyang, August 14 (KCNA) -- August 15 is the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean nation from Japan's colonial rule by President Kim Il Sung. The Japanese imperialists occupied Korea by force of arms early in the 20th century and pursued a colonial enslavement policy, inflicting enormous human, spiritual and material losses, great sufferings and misfortune on the Korean people. Kim Il Sung, worried about the destiny of the nation subjected to their harsh suppression, founded revolutionary armed forces in his twenties and fought against them with arms. In the hard-fought struggle, he created unique and superb strategies and tactics to strike a heavy blow to the enemy. Many legends about the feats he performed in the anti-Japanese armed struggle are still told in the country. As the country was liberated by him, the destiny of the nation could be saved from the fall and Korea, which had suffered an eclipse on the world map, is now well known as the homeland of Juche, a powerful socialist state. Therefore, the Korean people have deeply revered the President through generations as liberator and great father of the nation.

ASSPUK-JISGE Slam UFG war exercises

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK

London 13th August.

Today the Juche Idea Study Group of England and Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK issued a joint statement denouncing the US imperialist Ulji Freedom Guardian war rehearsal exercises.

These war exercises are extremely illboding as they follow on from a series of miltary exercises carried out by the US imperialists and south Korean puppets such as RIMPAC 2010 and the naval exercises in the West sea.They are straining the situation to the extreme so that no one can tell when a war could break out on the Korean peninsula.They are a severe threat to peace in Asia and the whole world.

It is as a clear as day that these exercises are a clear cut provocation and arehearsal to invade the DPRK and destroy its people centred socialistsystem by force of arms.The exercises are a clumsy attempt at intimidating the DPRK and trying to force the DPRK into disarmament and to stifle its socialist system.It is an enlarged replica of the 'gunboat diplomacy' of the imperialists of yesterday.

'Ulji Freedom Guardian" has nothing to do with freedom but with extending the corrupt fascist rule of the south Korean puppets to the northern half of Korea and with establishing US imperialist colonial rule over the whole of the Korean peninsula and achieving the US domination of Asia and the Pacific.
We,the ASSPUK and JISGE,demand the US imperialists and south Korean puppets cancel these adventurous war exercises at once !Furthermore the US imperialists must get out of south Korea where they do not belong.We stand four square behind the DPRK and call on all Juche idea and Songun idea followers to rally around the independent socialist Juche Peoples Korea as never before.Defeat the US imperialist moves against the DPRK !

NO TO ULJI FREEDOM GUARDIAN !

HANDS OFF THE DPRK !

VICTORY TO THE DPRK !

YANKEE GO HOME !

ASSPUK
JISGE.

TIME TO STOP ULJI FREEDOM GUARDIAN -UK KFA Statement

TIME TO STOP ULJI FREEDOM GUARDIAN-UK KFA statement
The US imperialists and south Korean puppets-thee Lee Myung bak sellout fascist regime-are staging yet more military exercises this time Ulji Freedom Guardian.These come hard on the heels of earlier military exercises which appear to be held continously in south Korea.

UFG is larger in scale than the other exercises and is a clear cut rehearsal to start a war and invade the DPRK.US president Obama has declared himself the "first Pacific president of the USA" and intends to rule the Asia Pacfic region as a colonial domain.

UFG exercises are a threat to peace not only on the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region but also the entire world as a war could easily start as a result of the exercises,a small incident or accident could easily turn into war which would then spread across Asia and become a nuclear war.
UFG is a crude and blatant attempt at intimidating the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea into making unilateral concessions and ultimately to give up its socialist system.This is a serious encroachment on the DPRK's sovereignity.The future of the DPRK should be determined in Korea not in Washington or New York and Korea's reunification should be solved
by Koreans not but outsiders.

UK KFA demands the Ulji Freedom Guardian exercises are immediately cancelled and the US pull their troops out of Korea,revoke the sanctions and desist from making a nuclear threat to the DPRK.

Juche-based Industry of DPRK

Juche-based Industry of DPRK

Pyongyang, August 9 (KCNA) -- The Juche-based industry of the DPRK remains a mainstay of the independent national economy built by the Korean people in the course of the arduous revolution under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea and the leader and provides a sure guarantee for building an economic power. Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article. It goes on: It also provides a material guarantee for bringing about a great surge in production in every field of national economy, serves as a reliable boon to dynamically accelerating its modernization and a powerful treasured sword for resolutely foiling the persistent economic blockade and sanctions of the imperialists. The above-said industry is the most reliable and vital industry as it is developing in reliance upon its scientific and technical forces, locally available raw materials and resources. Satellites were successfully put into orbit, leaping progress has been made in putting machine-building industry on a CNC basis and Juche iron, Juche vinalon and Juche fertilizers are being mass-produced. All this is a striking demonstration of the might of the Juche-based industry of the DPRK. It is an industry having its own perfect departmental structures of national economy and an independent industry capable of standing on its own feet under any difficult situation. Having this industry strong in Juche character and independent character, the DPRK reacts to the brigandish acts of the imperialists with a toughest stand and remains unfazed by any sanctions and blockade.
