Staffordshire KFA condemns Boris Johnson

Staffordshire KFA utterly and totally condemns the warmongering by Boris Johnson during his Chatman House speech. The UK should leave the Korean people alone to decide their own affairs and work for dialogue and peace in Korea instead. The Foreign Secretary should not use the issue of Korea as a totem for his political ambitions, because if he does, his career will come to a shameful conclusion. The Staffordshire KFA calls for peace, reunification upon the Korean peninsula and for all US and British military forces to leave south Korea.
KOREA IS ONE!

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK),the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE), the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification of Korea (BSCPRKP) today issued a joint statement in support of the statement that was issued by the  Consultative Council for National Reconciliation (CCNR)  of the DPRK :
 Recently the south Korean puppet fascist defence minister  Song Yong Mu talked absolute rubbish about the so-called "collapse of the north"  basically reviving the old worn out and stereotyped 'unification by absorption ' line of the south Korean puppets.
  It is totally nonsense to talk about the DPRK collapsing . As everyone knows the DPRK is the most stable and harmonious country in the world. It is based on the Juche idea  and also the single -hearted unity of the masses around the Party and the leader. The DPRK also has a Juche-based independent national economy that can withstand sanctions. It is the south Korean puppet regime which is riven with internal contradictions that could collapse !
  Such talk is an upardonable insult to the DPRK . As the DPRK CCNR rightly points out  "
Song spouted very dangerous provocative remarks at a time when the north-south relations have reached the worst catastrophe and a touch-and-go situation is prevailing on the Korean peninsula. This should never be overlooked.

He has fully betrayed his colors as a pro-U.S. traitor seeking to prolong his remaining days with the backing of the U.S. in utter disregard of the deadlocked north-south ties, this land embroiled in a horrible war disaster and the destiny of the nation in peril.

We have already warned that those who challenge the dignity and system of the DPRK are bound to face a merciless punishment."
 We fully support the statement of the DPRK CCNR and urge that the south Korean puppets give up 
delusional fantasties about 'regime change ' and 'collapse ' in People's Korea. Instead the south Korean authorities should follow the road of independence and improve inter-Korean relations.
DOWN WITH THE SOUTH KOREAN PUPPET REGIME !

DPRK Victorious on the Strength of Single-Hearted Unity [English Subtitles]

Critique of the John Ellinson series of articles on Korea in the "Morning Star "

Recently the revisionist Morning Star or people' daily or socialist daily as it would prefer to be styled ran a three -part series of articles on Korea written by the journalist and writer John Ellinson. Whilst this was an improvement on the "Morning Star' earlier coverage of the DPRK ,which has been out-rightly hostile  basically recycling bourgeois and imperialist slanders against People's Korea and its supreme leadership , and a welcome contrast to extreme vilification of the bourgeois media, the article still  left something to be desired and still managed to fall short of the task of defending People's Korea and Juche -based socialism .

  However whilst offering a more apparently independent perspective on Korea , Ellinson has fallen into the trap of heavy reliance on US bourgeois  liberal historian Prof Bruce Cumings . Whilst Cumings is indeed a noted academic authority on Korea his work is very much from a 'plague on both your houses' position blaming both US imperialism and Korean Juche -based socialism. Ellinson draws heavily on  Cuming's "Korea's Place in the Sun "  and  "Korea the Unknown War " written by Prof Cumings and wealthy British Notting Hill Trotskyite fake Leftist Jon Halliday(Halliday being well known in the past as a virulently anti-DPRK author having written a number of articles including a very bad one  in New Left Review back in the 1980s).
  The first part of the article is titled "  Trouble in the hermit kingdom: Life in Korea before the war ".The term 'hermit kingdom' is never used by Korean historians and writers as it is a racist construct of imperialist and Western historigraphy , it is is basically an insult to the Korean nation.

Juche airbrushed out  

Incredibly , after double-checking ,  the Juche idea is not mentioned once in the articles .I found it amazing that anyone can write a 3 part article on Korea and not mention the Juche Idea which is the guiding ideology and philosophy  of People' Korea . Even the bourgeois media mention Juche now !.

(see http://juche007-anglo-peopleskoreafriendship.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/what-really-is-juche-in-answer-to-daily.html) but sadly it is appears to be a No No, a taboo subject for the Morning Star ! The Juche Idea was first elaborated by the great leader President KIM IL SUNG at the historic

Kalun meeting in June 1930 and the first public use of the word Juche was in December 1955. An understanding of the Juche idea is central to understanding the system , policies , lines and indeed the history of People's Korea .

Prettification of Japanese imperialism 

Ellisnon writes " The aristocracy suffered little other than loss of direct control of government." Not strictly speaking true  as the Korean queen , Queen Min was murdered  in 1895  and King Kojong was poisoned by the Japanese in 1919

  Ellinson goes even further and expounds the following eulogy to the Japanese imperialists in Korea

"  Modernisation followed. Korea’s Japanese rulers built roads, railways, seaports and established new industries, discriminating against Koreans racially, but providing them with modern education.

In fact Japan enforced a most barbaric , reactionary and medieval rule over Korea , treating the Korean people as slaves rather than providing them with 'education' .

 The human, material and mental damage done by the Japanese imperialists to the Korean people during the colonial rule is so bad as to be virtually unspeakable .More than 1 million Koreans were killed, at last 8.4 million young and middle-aged Koreans were drafted to do slavery labor and hurled into shambles of wars of aggression and 200 000 Korean women were forced into horrible sexual slavery.

  The Japanese also plundered and looted  tons of rice and other materials including gold and treasures from Korea. It is prettifying Japanese imperialism to say that it modernised Korea . Surely the "Morning Star " must realise that there is no such thing as progressive and modernising imperialism ?

  Distortion of the role of the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army 

Ellinson  says that  the great leader President KIM IL SUNG was just one resistance leader and  downgrades and distorts  the role played by the Korean people ,led by President Kim Il Sung, in liberating Korea themselves and ascribes Korea's liberation to the Soviet army. However USSR only declared war on Japan on the 8th of August 1945 some 7 days before Korea was liberated(the USSR had previously concluded a neutrality pact with Japan in 1941).The Korean People's Revolutionary Army had fought the Japanese imperialists since 1932 . It had fought hundreds battles such as Pochonbo , Musan and Taehongdan. During the final phases of the operation to liberate Korea in August 1945 units of the KPRA and local People's Armed Corps liberated towns such as Rajin.There were spontaneous uprisings in Korea of workers and peasants.

    President KIM IL SUNG had first lit the torch of liberation and independence when he formed the Down-With-Imperialism Union in 1926 and later the Korean Revolutionary Army , the first armed organisation of Korean revolutionaries ,1930 . In April 1932 the Anti-Japanese People's Guerilla Army was founded ,later this became the Korean People's Revolutionary Army in(KPRA) 1934. A mass-based united front organisation , the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland (ARF)was founded in  May 1936 . In turn the Korean National Liberation Union , a basic level or grassroots body of the ARF was formed in the Korean homeland .
   President KIM IL SUNG had to fight Chinese big power national chauvinists who tried to deny the right of Koreans in China to fight independently for national liberation.
  The KPRA make active preparations for Korea's liberation and intensified the  armed struggle in 1944 and 1945 . On the 9th of August 1945 President KIM IL SUNG urged the KPRA to go over to 
a general offensive and for units operating behind enemy lines to launch attacks against the Japanese imperialists .
  Thus Korea's liberation was not a gift of the USSR and China but the fruit of the Juche-orientated
revolutionary armed struggle waged by Korean communists under the leadership of President
KIM IL SUNG!
      
US imperialism and the Korean  War
To his credit Ellinson does expose the reactionary and horrendous role of the US imperialists in
south Korea . The US imperialists dissolved the people's committees in south Korea  and banned
the Communist Party .
  However , Ellinson appears to accept the narrative that the US imperialists withdraw from south Korea in 1948.  This is a serious mistake as in  fact the US imperialists had created a puppet regime in south Korea to serve both as an instrument of colonial rule and also as a tool of aggression to attack the northern half of Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea .
   Because of the struggle and Korean people for the simultaneous withdrawal of US and Soviet forces from Korea, the US imperialists using a number of tricks and subterfuges to stay on in south Korea. On the 24th of August 1948 the US imperialists concluded the  Transitional Temporary Status of Forces Agreement on Military Affairs and Security" with the south Korean puppets .On July 1, 1949, the US government concluded the "Agreement on the Presence of the US Military Advisory
 Group in Korea" with the Syngman Rhee puppet government. Basically the US took control of the
south Korean puppet armed forces and had a large number of so-called military advisors in south Korea who supervised the south Korean puppet armed forces .

   Ellinson following Cumings basically ducks out out of saying that the US imperialists started the Korean War .However there is ample evidence of this . First of all, Truman's envoy John Foster Dulles visited south Korea a week before the outbreak of war on the 25th of June 1950. Dulles even visited frontline areas on the 18th of June. It cannot be a coincidence that war started a week later.
Secondly, numerous documents captured by the Korean People's Army when it liberated Seoul on
the 28th June 1950, prove that the US imperialist instigated the south Korean puppets to start the war . Thirdly , in the early hours of the 25th of June before the war started  , 650 American women and children were evacuated from south Korea . Fourthly , US writer and journalist John Gunther wrote that he was in Toyko in June 1950 and a US officer said "A big story has just broken. The south Koreans have attacked the north.’  The evidence is overwhelmingly but the "Morning Star " shys away from naming the US imperialists are the author and provoker of the Korean war!.
Conclusion
The "Morning Star " has tried to improve its coverage of Korean issues but has fallen desperately short of this goal by heavy reliance on bourgeois liberal sources. The "Star " would be well advised to take note of the late Nye Bevan who once said that people who stand in the middle of the road can
be knocked down by traffic approaching from both directions !

ASSPUK,JISGE, UK KFA and BSCPRKP denounce U.S.-S. Korean Puppet Warmongers' Anti-DPRK Military Confab

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK),the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE), the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification of Korea (BSCPRKP) today issued a joint statement in support of the statement that was issued by the  National Peace Committee of Korea(NPCK) of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ;
   As they step up their threats and pressure against People's Korea , the US imperialists have been holding frequent meetings on confabs with the military of the south Korean puppet fascists. For
example  the U.S. Defense Secretary 'Mad Dog'  Mattis and the puppet Defense Minister Song Yong Mu at the 49th annual consultative meeting in Seoul had a discussion on such issues as sharing information on "missile threats from north Korea", the operation of THAAD deployed in south Korea, the expansion of the cyclic deployment of the U.S. strategic assets on the Korean peninsula, and intensifying joint military exercises like the U.S. nuclear carrier task force drill, ballistic missile warning drill and anti-submarine drill, and agreed to further mutual cooperation.
  Earlier, the chairmen of the U.S. and the puppet Joint Chiefs of Staff at the 42nd military commission session discussed the way of joint operation to cope with the "nuclear and missile threats from north Korea", measure for strengthening mutual operation of combined command control system C41 and the way of revising joint operational plan targeting the DPRK "OPLAN 5015".      
   These meetings are not routine or regular annual meetings but part and parcel of a strategy to wage nuclear war against People's Korea and about stifling People's Korea militarily ,invading it and stifling the socialist system. They are also being held at a time when the US has introduced three nuclear carrier strike groups and nuclear strategic assets into waters off the Korean peninsula and around it !
   Through these meetings the US imperialists aim also to strengthen their control and domination over south Korea using weasel words such as 'tightened alliance'.
  The US imperialists and their south Korean puppets should realise that such meetings will be useless as they will fail in their aim to military subdue People's Korea. We call on the US to stop its warmongering and threats to the DPRK.
US OUT OF KOREA !

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Stopping Imperialists from Ideological and Cultural Poisoning

Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Preventing the imperialists from ideological and cultural poisoning is an important issue related to the destiny of the socialist cause, the cause for independence against imperialism and the life and death of the country and nation, says Rodong Sinmun in an article Friday.

It goes on:

If the poisoning is allowed, a social system is impaired and ceases to exist in the end.

This is eloquently proved by the tragic collapses of some socialist countries.

The imperialists ratcheted up broadcasting in an attempt to create an illusion about capitalism while making reactionary publications and sexual and corrupt films and music massively infiltrate into those countries.

So there were widespread ideological and moral break-up and degeneration among people.

Those who were poisoned by the reactionary ideology and culture hated working and were attracted by capitalism.

It is crystal clear that those who discard the revolutionary faith and live only for themselves can not defend socialism, the collective society.

In the end people of those countries did nothing but saw the socialist renegades and the imperialists cat's paws, lower and trample down the socialist red flag. This is not a story of bygone days.

The present century witnessed abnormal regime changes in several countries. Those are due to the ideological and cultural poisoning and psychological warfare by the U.S.-led imperialists.

Youth are the primary target of this ideological and cultural poisoning campaign.

If the ideological education of them is neglected, they can be easily spoiled by the poisoning and troublemakers of the society.

It is impossible to bring down the country having the young people politically and ideologically strong and morally good. -0-

U.S. Surprise Nuclear Strike Drill in S. Korea

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- The gangster-like U.S. imperialists are ceaselessly resorting to their frantic nuclear threat and blackmail to stifle the DPRK with nukes at any cost.

On Thursday they let a formation of B-1B nuclear strategic bombers stationed at the Anderson Air Force Base on Guam stealthily fly into south Korea again to stage a surprise nuclear strike drill targeting the DPRK.

The bombers made flight through Okinawa of Japan and changed direction from the Jeju Island of the south Korea to the East Sea of Korea. Then they flew into the Sangdong firing range, under cover of fighters of the U.S. and the south Korean puppet air forces, to conduct a nuclear bomb dropping drill simulating attack on major targets of the DPRK.

The gravity of the situation is that the above-said drill was staged when the U.S. super-large nuclear-powered carrier Ronald Reagan task force remains still in waters around the Korean peninsula, after having joint naval exercises with the south Korean puppet forces in the East Sea of Korea, and Theodore Roosevelt and Nimitz nuclear-powered carriers strike groups of the U.S. concentrate in the operational theater of its 7th Fleet.

The reality clearly shows that the gangster-like U.S. imperialists are the very one who is aggravating the situation of the Korean peninsula and seeking to ignite a nuclear war.

The U.S. imperialists are making last-ditch efforts to check the dynamic advance of the DPRK by deploying their nuclear strategic assets in succession, but its army and people are never frightened at such moves.

The U.S. imperialist warmongers should not act rashly. -0-
