 The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI) , UK Korean Friendship Association (UK KFA ) and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification on the Korean Peninsula(BSCPRKP)issued the following joint statement on the occasion of the the 85th anniversary of the battle of Pochonbo .

            The battle of Pochonbo was a unique military  and political feat of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army under the command of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung , a gifted military strategist, heroic partisan leader and ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander. The battle of Pochonbo struck a mighty blow against the fascistic Japanese imperialists ,striking fear into them.
     It was on the 4th of June 1937 that the revolutionary fighters of the KPRA carried out a daring and audacious operation to advance into the Korean homeland , under the command of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. General Kim Il Sung the commander of the KPRA had put forward the bold  policy of advancing into the Korean homeland and to strike at the Japanese imperialist occupiers.
The Japanese imperialists who had annexed Korea in 1910 were severely oppressing the Korean people ,literally strangling the life out of them and trying to obliterate everything Korean. The question of advance into the homeland was simply not a military one but a political and ideological one .
  Under the wise command of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung using  brilliant Juche-orientated guerrilla tactics the Korean People's Revolutionary Army annihilated the Japanese imperialist aggressors in Pochonbo and went on to defeat them in the battles of Kouyushan and Jiansanfeng,
      As the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung said
" Brothers and sisters, look at the flames over there. Those raging flames show that the enemy is doomed. Those flames show the whole world that our nation is not dead but alive, and that if we fight against the Japanese imperialist plunderers we can win. Those flames will shine like a ray of hope in the hearts of our people suffering from maltreatment and hunger, and will spread throughout our three-thousand-ri land like a torch of struggle.
The Korean people are not of the “same descent” as the Japanese imperialist villains, and we do not acknowledge the idea noisily propagandized by them that “Japan and Korea are one”.
We, the KPRA, will tighten our grip on our weapons of revenge and liberate our 23 million fellow countrymen suffering from hunger and poverty, ignorance and darkness. We will liberate our fatherland come what may, and establish a people’s country free from oppression and exploitation on the land of the independent fatherland."
 Indeed the flames of Pochonbo symbolised the cleansing of Japanese imperialism from Korea and the destruction of the old society of exploitation and oppression.
  The victory in the Pochonbo battle, which was due to the protean guerrilla tactic of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung, was a powerful inspiration to the oppressed peoples of the world in their anti-imperialist ,anti-colonialist struggle . As one third world liberation fighter wrote " The beacon fire of Pochonbo marked a great event which gave confidence in struggle to not only the Korean people under the colonial rule of Japanese imperialism , but also to the world revolutionary oppressed people, groaning in those days under the heels of the imperialist aggressors -fascist Germany, Italy , Japanese imperialism and American and British imperialism "

 Today the battle of Pochonbo remains a potent  inspiration and model of success in guerrilla struggle for anti-imperialist independence movements. The beacon fire of independence lit in Pochonbo 85 years ago still burns brightly in the independent  ,self reliant DPRK the land of Juche .

U.S. Extermination of Indians Deserves Divine Punishment

 2022.6.2.

http://www.mfa.gov.kp/view/article/15185

Recently, the U.S. Department of Interior has released an investigative report where it has admitted the inhumane and violent treatment of the students of Native Americans at boarding schools run by the U.S. government from 1819 to 1969.

According to the result of investigation into 497 boarding schools run by the federal government, 53 burial sites were discovered and 500 students of Native Americans were dead.

The U.S. Department of Interior has reportedly said that the number of Indian students who died at boarding schools can reach up to tens of thousands as the number of the students of Native Americans would continue to increase with an in-depth investigation going on.

In order to obliterate the language and culture of American Indians, the U.S. established government-chartered boarding schools run by religious organizations from the early 19th century and locked in the numerous Indian children to enforce systematic assimilation policy.

Once entered into the schools, the native children had to have their hair cut, called by English names instead of their own names, and were forced to adhere to strict schedules that included lessons in English, obedience and Christianity.

When the indigenous students failed to meet school standards or broke rules, they were subject to all sorts of corporal punishment including solitary confinement, whipping, withholding food, slapping, and were under constant racial discrimination and maltreatment.

This kind of racial discrimination has not come about within one day.

The U.S., which was built on the graves of American Indians, has put the Indians’ rights to existence under the constant threat by pursuing the policy of massacre and vicious assimilation against them.

In 1814, James Madison, the 4th U.S. president issued an ordinance stating that US$ 100 prize money would be offered for head skin of Indian men over 12 years old and US$ 50 for Indian women or children’s head skin.

Moreover, he carried out massacre against the indigenous people, saying “head skin of Indians can make high quality boots”, “the U.S. must exterminate the Indians”, and “only dead Indians are the good ones.”

John Quincy Adams, the 6th U.S. president openly incited the massacre against Indians, saying “in dealing with the ignorant and uncouth Indians and negroes, terrorism is very efficient.”

As the result of the U.S. inhumane Indian extermination policy, the number of Indians which was more than 5 million in 1492 rapidly dropped to 250 thousand in the early 20th century.

Even in the 20th century, the U.S. had 928 nuclear tests in the Indians’ settlements, thus producing 620,000 tons of radioactive sediment. Because of its aftereffect, thousands of Indians died and the survivors are suffering from all sorts of malignant diseases including cancer and tuberculosis.

All these facts are mere typical examples which shows a part of the extreme extermination of Indians by the U.S.

Notwithstanding this reality, the U.S. is hell-bent on interfering in others’ internal affairs, unreasonably picking on the human rights situation of other countries.

Before talking impudently about “human rights issue” of other countries, the U.S. should honestly reflect on its century-long criminal acts of Indian extermination

Liquidation of subordinated south Korea-US alliance

Liquidation of subordinated south Korea-US alliance   Lately, broad spectrum of south Korean people express their strong anti-US sentiments, condemning south Korea-US alliance with US President Biden's junket to Seoul. Civil organizations including the Joint Action for Withdrawal of the US Army" sharply protested against Biden's tour for war preparation across south Korea by holding news conferences, publication of statements and demonstrations.   155 civil organizations expressed their objections to deployment of the US strategic assets and discontinuance of the south Korea-US joint military drill through statements, while bitterly denouncing the south Korea-US military alliance, strengthening of south Korea, US and Japanese military cooperation and the hostile policy toward north Korea. Civil organizations of various circles had rallies, wearing jackets written with "Oppose to Biden's junket", "Stop military drill for preemptive nuclear strike against north Korea", "Dissolution of south Korea-US alliance", "Liquidation of warmongers Yoon Suk-yeol group" and "Withdrawal of the US troops from south Korea". They tore the picture of Biden and the Stars and Stripes to pieces and burnt a placard written "south Korea-US nexus" and had a recitation of poem outside the US embassy in Seoul. The students belonging to the Progressive Federation of Students of south Korea had surprise demonstration shouting slogans against the US President's tour of Seoul outside the hotel where Biden stays. Meanwhile, the south Korean people of different strata issued future action plans to make stubborn action for the withdrawal of the US troops from south Korea.   Carrying the anti-US slogans

Trigger-happy elements heating up showdown

 

Spiteful remarks inciting confrontation with north Korea are being heard with the advent of Yoon Suk-yeol regime.   

Yoon lays bare his attempt to stick to military showdown with north Korea, while clamoring for provocation of north Korea.  

The newly-appointed south Korean defense minister spouted a string of rubbish such as preemptive strike and early establishment of missile interception.

The defense minister trumpeted about the maintenance of defense preparedness against north Korea at a virtual meeting of the brass hats of the south Korean army, visited the aerial operation command and the missile defense command to make impetuous remarks hostile to north Korea, clamoring about serious situation of security, provocation of north Korea and "resolute and quick response".

It is disgusting that he goaded the south Korean army to push confrontation with north Korea, a world military giant, as he is the defense minister of the mercenary army of the US without the prerogative of supreme command.

He buckled himself to give somewhat of stimulus to the army in low spirits. It is never to be tolerable.   

Nexus leading to terrible consequence

 

Broad spectrum of the south Korean people strongly censure the south Korea-US joint statement issued some days ago.

They branded it as a disgraceful statement currying favor with the US, a dangerous agreement and a modern edition of the Ulsa Five-Point Treaty.

The presidents of south Korea and the US emphasized animosity toward north Korea and pressure upon it including improvement of extended deterrence, increase of the south Korea-US joint military game in scale, and deployment of the US strategic assets, while bring the hostile policies toward the north to the surface in the statement.

They spelled out for the first time in the statement that they would enlarge the sphere and scale of the south Korea-US joint military rehearsals in and around of the Korean Peninsula. The statement pointed out the military exercise with Japan.  

South Korea hereby is sure to be reduced into an advanced base and a supply one of the US for its realization of supremacy, and the Korean Peninsula is involved in the vortex of nuclear war.

Although lots of one-sided treaties have been concluded between south Korea and the US until now, there has been nothing more than aggressive and criminal one like the statement.

South Korea was placed in more wretched plight which it should be restricted by the statement so as to do as required by the US like a calf with ring fixed in its nose.

Yoon Suk-yeol fully revealed his true color of top grade pro-US betrayer through the meeting.

It is quite natural that the south Koreans of every social standing bitterly criticized the meeting and joint statement and expressed their resolve to launch vigorous struggle against the US.  

Yoon will face a dire result caused by pro-US sycophancy and dependence on foreign forces chosen by himself and destructive fate.
