Pyongyang, November 23 (KCNA) -- Working masses' anti-Wall Street protests have continued unabated, shaking the capitalist system down to its roots.
Riot police are hurled to put down the protests but only fell short of blocking the masses' advance.
This has stoked fears among the rulers of the capitalist countries.
This proves capitalism is reactionary system and ailing society where the rich get ever richer and the poor ever poorer as a 1 percent tiny handful of exploiters oppress toiling masses making up 99 percent of the population.
A recent opinion poll conducted in the U.S. showed the majority of Americans voiced resentment against the ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor. In the poll jointly conducted by the Washington Post and ABC TV, over 6 out of 10 respondents said the rich-poor gap is widening in economic aspect. The income disparity between the people in the upper brackets of income and the rest of Americans is now all time high since the great depression about 70 years ago.
The income of wealthy people grew about 275 percent for the past 28 years. In 2010 the number of the poor increased by 7 million from 10 years ago.
The widening gap between the 1 percent rich and the 99 percent poor is an inevitable result of the structural contradiction of capitalism.
The history of capitalism is characterized by the accumulation of wealth by monopoly tycoons. In this course a crucial change took place in the relations of class forces, sharpening contradiction and conflict.
In the capitalist society the well-to-do people get ever richer while the poor are reduced to extreme poverty. The rich take to itself products and almost all wealth of the society, wallowing in luxury while the toiling masses languish in hunger and poverty. The people are degenerated, becoming slaves of money and the broad masses suffer from unemployment, hunger and poverty.
It has become frequent occurrences in the capitalist countries for even the middle classes to lose properties due to bankruptcy and unemployment and join the poor.
A big group of the unemployed are in the making in the Western countries bogged by financial and debt crises.
The rulers and monopoly capitalists are talking rhetoric about "class cooperation" and "welfare policy" to calm down the daily worsening socio-class contradiction in the capitalist countries.
Cooperation between the exploiting class and the grassroots people in the capitalist society is sheer sophism little short of a wolf and a sheep living in the same pen as friends.
It is an inevitable process of the historical development that the people intensify their actions to win the right to existence and democracy against the arbitrary practices of the monopoly capitalists.
The widening gap between the rich and the poor will escalate the people's protest against it.
Capitalism can never solve its socio-class contradiction by itself but will meet a final ruin by the people's actions for independence. -0

KPA Supreme Command Warns S. Korean Military Not to Act Rashly
Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- The Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army announced the following report on Thursday as regards the anti-DPRK war exercises launched by the south Korean military on five islands and their surrounding waters in the West Sea of Korea:
The puppet military warmongers of south Korea, keen in confrontation with fellow countrymen, kicked off large-scale anti-DPRK war rehearsal on the five islands and their surrounding waters in the West Sea of Korea at 13:00 Wednesday.
Involved in the rehearsal are the puppet Joint Chiefs of Staff, Command for Defense of Islands in Northwest Sea, Naval Force Operation Command, Air Force Operation Command and other commanding bodies, strike flying corps, fleets of warships, artillery units and other huge armed forces.
Some of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces present in south Korea took part in it.
The military warmongers dared to announce that the rehearsal is aimed to remind the DPRK of victims and lesson from the Yonphyong Island Shelling and review their "perfect readiness for counteraction." It is also intended to show their will to decisively punish "not only the base of provocation but also commanding posts of all echelons including supporters in the north" with the combined forces of three services in case the DPRK starts a military action, they asserted.
As for last year's Yonphyong Island shelling, it was a legitimate self-defensive step against the provocateurs who dared to make a clumsy fire on the inviolable territorial waters of the DPRK despite its army's advance warning.
This being a hard reality, they launched the anti-DPRK war rehearsal far from drawing due lesson on the first anniversary of the shelling. It is little short of a new political and military provocation to the army and people of the DPRK.
Such disgusting behavior by the military warmongers, who go recklessly without knowing about the present trend of situation and their domestic condition, will arouse criticism and ridicules from among the people at home and abroad.
They should not forget the lesson taught by the Yonphyong Island Shelling one year ago.
They should be mindful that If they dare to impair the dignity of the DPRK again and fire one bullet or shell toward its inviolable territorial waters, sky and land, the deluge of fire on Yonphyong Island will lead to that in Chongwadae and the sea of fire in Chongwadae to the deluge of fire sweeping away the stronghold of the group of traitors.
The DPRK revolutionary armed forces are in full readiness to go into a decisive battle to counter any military provocation. -0-

DPRK Rejects 'Resolution on Human Rights'
Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA Thursday as regards the anti-DPRK "resolution on human rights" adopted at the 3rd Committee of the 66th UN General Assembly:
The adoption of the "resolution" is a trite political trick employed by the U.S. and its followers hostile toward the DPRK every year.
As usual, the DPRK resolutely rejects the "resolution" which is the height of politicization, double standard and selection of human rights and consistent with falsity and fabrication.
With any desperate efforts the hostile forces can never check the DPRK's advance nor break its people's rock-firm faith in socialism.
Their anti-DPRK smear campaign over the human rights issue will arouse only disillusion and ridicules from among the world people as they are criminals who have violated human morality by ruthlessly trampling down the sovereignty of other countries under the pretext of "protection of human rights" and cracking down on their peoples' just struggle for vital rights. -0-

Capitalist Society Termed Reactionary
Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) -- No matter how much the imperialists and those speaking for bourgeoisie talk about "liberty" and "rights", capitalist countries can never guarantee the popular masses genuine liberty and rights, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a bylined article.
It discloses that capitalism is the worst exploiting system and the harshest oppressive system in human history as it ruthlessly tramples down upon the desire and wishes of the popular masses for independence.
The article goes on:
Capitalist society is an unpopular society where a tiny handful of the capitalist class rules over the toiling masses who account for the majority of people in the society, having to itself state power and means of production.
The bourgeois deprive the toiling masses of liberty and rights and violate them in the capitalist society where power is almighty. It is the mode of existence to keep themselves alive and a basic political method to consolidate their class and privileged position.
Money is almighty in the capitalist society where dignity and rights of human beings are decided by money.
Capitalism is not a liberal society advertised by the imperialists but an unequal society, a society ruled by dictatorship.
Political life is getting reactionary, spiritual and cultural life is poor and material life is deformed in capitalist society, a factor of aggravating social inequality and contradictions.
Even scholars of the West admit that the inhumane capitalist society has no future as it is ridden with serious contradictions and inequality. Capitalism is fated to go to ruin as it is an unpopular society violating the freedom and rights of the popular masses. -0-

Rodong Sinmun Supports People Fighting Exploitation and Suppression
Pyongyang, November 19 (KCNA) -- Capitalism and imperialism will naturally accompany oppression and people are bound to rise up against it, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined article.
It goes on:
The working masses rose up in the capitalist countries to fight the arbitrary practices of the monopoly capitalists and win the right to existence and democracy.
Protests sweeping the different parts of the world are a clear reminder of the resentment and bitterness to the reactionary and unpopular capitalist system.
The people's actions are aimed to win independence against capitalism and imperialism, hegemonic forces trampling down on them.
Capitalism and imperialism are systems of exploitation quelling the desire and wish of the popular masses for independence. They are the most despotic oppression systems in human history, a combination of class domination and national oppression.
The capitalist society is an unpopular one based on the private ownership and ensuing extreme individualism.
A handful of exploiting class takes hold of all the means of production and social wealth there which they use as a means for exploiting and plundering the toiling masses.
The development of IT industry in the capitalist society will only sharpen the class contradiction and stand-off as it further intensifies the exploitation of the employed workforce by capital.
Capitalism and imperialism keep to intensifying class and national oppression to survive ruin and maintain and expand supremacy.
The imperialists are bound to meet the people's resistance for independence. -

Ever-growing Struggle against FTA
Ever-growing Struggle against FTA
On November 3 some 5,000 people from different social standings including workers, farmers, youth and students held in Seoul a rally for checking the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement with the US.
The participants noted that the damages due to the FTA conclusion cannot be estimated and asserted that they should check by all means the FTA conclusion which sells off the people's right to existence to foreign forces, lock, stock and barrel.
After the rally the participants launched a demo.
The demonstrators marched toward the “National Assembly” building chanting such slogans as “Let us smash the GNP hell-bent on ratifying the FTA in the NA!” and “We oppose the FTA!”.
They undauntedly fought in face of the fascist policemen who ran amuck in suppressing them firing water cannons.
Candlelit rallies against the FTA conclusion take place almost everyday throughout south Korea.
On November 4 candlelit rallies to denounce the GPN’s moves to forcefully railroad the motion calling for FTA ratification were held in Seoul and Busan with the members of civic organizations, popular masses including workers, farmers, youth and students, housewives and opposition personages attended.
On November 5 and 6 candlelit rallies were held in Seoul under the sponsorship of the “All-people Movement Headquarters to Check the Conclusion of South Korea-US FTA”.
The FTA conclusion will make south Korea a complete colony of the US, the participants condemned and called for waging the struggle to the last by the concerted efforts of all people in order to foil the ratification of the ruinous FTA.
Let Us Defend Right to Existence with Struggle
On November 13, there took place the 2011 national workers’ rally for checking the south Korea-US FTA and inheriting martyr Jon Tae-il at the plaza before the Seoul City Office.
Participated there were some 20,000 workers affiliated to the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and figures from opposition parties, the National Federation of Peasants Associations, the National Teachers’ Union, the National Problems Institute and other civic organizations.
Now in the society the conglomerates get the biggest benefits in history whereas the workers are going more miserable and the people's living is further deteriorated due to the authorities’ moves to conclude the FTA with the US amidst the people's right to existence getting totally trampled down, the participants denounced.
The representative of the Democratic Labor Party and the chairman of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions said that now is the high time to frustrate the FTA conclusion which enforces the people's sacrifice and to wage the dynamic struggle to overthrow the government and the Grand National Party. They asserted that the workers will launch the struggle to dissolve the GNP and dethrone the government in solidarity with all like-minded forces if the moves to conclude the humiliating FTA persist.
Meanwhile, an all-people candlelit rally against the FTA was held at the same plaza that day under the sponsorship of the All-People's Movement Headquarters to Check South Korea-US FTA with tens of thousands people of all walks of life including the workers from across south Korea and opposition assemblymen.
As long as the current government which stakes its fate on the pro-US sycophancy is in power, the people's right to existence can never be secured.
Only with the undaunted struggle they can realize the democratic rights and true living.

KCNA Commentary on Rumor about 'Nuclear Cooperation'
Pyongyang, November 18 (KCNA) -- Some dishonest forces are deliberately spreading the rumor that the DPRK is helping Iran in manufacturing nuclear weapons.
Some time ago, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), instigated by the U.S. and other Western countries, floated the rumor about "nuclear cooperation" between the DPRK and Iran. Then the hostile forces have spread fabricated data to make this rumor sound plausible. They even cited the outdated facts, rejected by the international community in the past, and talked nonsense that "hundreds of north Korean technicians, who took part in manufacturing nukes and missiles, have visited Iran on the shift via a third country to offer technological assistance."
The U.S.-led hostile forces have always found fault with the peaceful nuclear activities of those countries going against their grain and with their cooperation in the nuclear field.
What the forces seek in spreading the rumor about the DPRK's "nuclear cooperation", which is nonexistent, while escalating the offensive against Iran is to brand the DPRK as a "nuclear criminal" by linking it with the nuclear issue of Iran.
The story about "nuclear cooperation" is part of the hostile forces' trite slandering and deceptive tricks intended to put pressure on the DPRK.
There is no creditability in it.
Over the West's skepticism about the nuclear cooperation with the DPRK, Iranian diplomats said that Iran needs no foreign experts since it developed its own nuclear base and that Iran's nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes.
Nevertheless, the hostile forces are persistently clamoring about the DPRK's "cooperation". This is a revelation of their wicked criminal scheme to justify the campaign for sanctions on the DPRK over the nuclear issue and spoil the atmosphere of dialogue created in the Korean Peninsula.
In words they call for peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region including the peninsula but, in action they go against the dialogue and detente.
Any attempt to tarnish the external image of the DPRK with slander and plot will come to failure in the end.
Plot-breeders had better stop their foolish attempt at once. -0-
