KCNA Commentary Demands S. Korean Authorities Stop Their Military Provocations against DPRK

 Pyongyang, May 24 (KCNA) -- The south Korean military authorities are busy with dangerous saber-rattling at a time when the desire for national reunification is growing stronger thanks to the independent line of national reunification laid down at the 7th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea,
    The U.S. and south Korean warmongers have been busy with joint naval maneuvers around five islands in the West Sea such as Paekryong Island and Yonphyong Island since May 19 with Aegis destroyers belonging to the U.S. Pacific Fleet and destroyer and anti-submarine helicopter of the south Korean Navy, etc. involved. And the forces of the 1st Corps of the south Korean army are mulling staging combat hardware mobile and obstacle laying drills in Koyang, Phaju and other areas in Kyonggi Province, forefront areas, from May 23 to 27.
    They announced that they would stage together with U.S. and Japanese forces a combined drill for intercepting ballistic missiles in Hawaii next month allegedly to cope with the threat from the DPRK's missiles.
    These are dangerous saber-rattling aimed at chilling the climate of national reconciliation and reunification created by the line and policies for national reunification advanced by the DPRK and harassing peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
    The saber-rattling in south Korea is the main factor of stoking mistrust and conflict between the north and the south and disturbing peace on the peninsula from a historical point of view.
    The history of the north-south relations proves that whenever anti- DPRK madcap military drills were staged in south Korea, the confrontation between the compatriots in the north and the south was escalated and the situation on the peninsula inched close to the outbreak of a nuclear war.
    Last year alone, war exercises staged by the south Korean authorities with foreign forces under various codenames such as Key Resolve, Foal Eagle, Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military drills and Ssangyong Landing Operation pushed the north-south relations to the lowest ebb and repeatedly created such tense situation where a war might break out any moment.
    A series of hard-won opportunities of dialogue and the improvement of relations between the north and the south last year were scuppered by the ceaseless saber-rattling staged by the south Korean warmongers with outside forces.
    Facts go to clearly prove that no matter what good line and policies reflecting the desire of the nation are laid down, there is nothing to change and it is impossible to put an end to the vicious cycle of escalating tension as long as war drills against the DPRK continue in south Korea.
    All Koreans now ardently wish to see a fresh climate for peaceful reunification of the country after the DPRK set forth the reasonable line of national reunification.
    Stop to the war drills against the north is the most realistic and important matter to be certainly settled to ensure peace on the Korean peninsula and mend the north-south relations.
    In order to defuse the tension on the peninsula, ensure durable peace and improve the bedeviled inter-Korean relations, the south Korean authorities should stop their military provocations aimed at invading the north, to begin with.
    They would be well advised to stop their foolish act of pushing the situation on the peninsula to the brink of a war, swimming against the trend of the times and opt for promoting national reconciliation and unity as early as possible. -0-

Families of DPRK Abductees Send Written Protest to S. Korean Intelligence Service

 Pyongyang, May 23 (KCNA) -- The families of the DPRK citizens abducted in group by agents of the south Korean Intelligence Service (IS) sent the following written protest to the IS on Monday:
    We are the parents of the 12 girls abducted in broad daylight and taken to south Korea by your agents on April 5 while working at a restaurant in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province of China.
    We cannot repress our anger but feel our blood boiling when thinking of our beloved daughters who might be wriggling in tears, ardently calling their parents, brothers and sisters even at the moment in solitary rooms after being taken to south Korea where they have no kith and kin.
    How can this shuddering case occur in peace time, not wartime?
    Do you have even a drop of human blood in your bodies as you made no scruple of masterminding such a hideous and brutal act of separating gullible girls from their parents overnight?
    Don't you have any parents, brothers and sisters?
    You are spouting a string of rubbish about "free will" and "longing" in a sinister bid to hide your thrice-cursed crime but it is no more than sophism insulting our innocent daughters.
    As for our daughters, they are pure-minded girls who grew up in happiness under the loving care of our Party and the Republic, which are so warm that we failed to show more than it.
    It is no more than a far-fetched assertion that our daughters "longed for" the south Korean society where the jungle-law prevails and it is, furthermore, preposterous that they "defected in group from the north."
    If our daughters "defected from the north" at "free will" as you claim, why don't you open to public their stories but "force" them to "defect" through appeasement and coercion after putting them each in a solitary room?
    What is the difference between the atrocious group abduction perpetrated by you and the sexual slavery enforced by Japs after abducting pure Korean women in group by luring them with the promise "to offer jobs" and threatening them at the point of bayonet?
    The whole world was stunned by your hair-raising atrocity reminiscent of human butchery.
    Do not twist the truth behind the crime with shameless sophism any more but immediately make an apology for the inhuman abduction of our daughters with your knees bent.
    Do not inflict mental and physical pain upon our daughters by forcing "defection" but send them back to their parents and hometowns without delay.
    Open the way at once for us to meet our daughters face to face.
    Hand to us the thrice-cursed gangsters involved in the allurement and abduction and those behind it so that we can take a thousand-fold revenge upon them.
    Our rage is running high at the moment.
    If brutes like your agents and dirty human scum hurt even a bit our daughters whom we brought up with so profound love, we will certainly avenge on them even by biting and tearing them to pieces. -0

               London 23rd of  May  Juche 104(2015)
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 UK Preparatory Committee For the 2017 Gathering to Praise the Great Persons Born of Mt Paektu issued a joint statement in support of the letter sent by  the DPRK Emergency Measure Committee for Rescuing Abductees;
    The abduction of these young women from the DPRK by the south Korean
puppets is a truly mean, cruel and despicable act.
  The letter points out " More than 40 days has passed since the DPRK girls were abducted and taken away to south Korea.
    Our side had already and strongly demanded through several channels that your side make an apology for the group abduction and unconditionally return our citizens and inflict a severe punishment on those involved in the abduction case or hand them over to the DPRK's court."
  Clearly the south Korean puppet regime is engaged in a cover-up as they have refused to accede to the most reasonable request of the DPRK side for the families of those who have been abducted to meet their relations. The whereabouts of the young women appears to be unknown. There have been as yet unconfirmed reports that one of the young women has died in captivity. So far the south Korean side have offered to no evidence as to the wellbeing and safety of the young women.
 We support the demand of the DPRK Emergency Measure Committee for Rescuing Abductees that " For the present, you should take a practical measure at once so as to enable parents of the abductees to go to Seoul via Panmunjom and meet their children face to face and bring them back home."
   If the south Korean puppets fail to meet this demand then they will stand guilty of yet another unethical inhumane crime and will one day face judgement.

DPRK Sends Letter of Protest to Park Geun Hye

Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- The DPRK Emergency Measure Committee for Rescuing Abductees sent a letter of protest to Park Geun Hye on Sunday as regards the south Korean side's continued detention of DPRK citizens who were abducted in group.
    As already known, the Intelligence Service of south Korea allured and took away to south Korea women citizens of the DPRK in group on April 5, who were running a restaurant in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province of China.
    The letter said that the abduction of those citizens conducting legitimate business activities overseas is a violation of the DPRK's sovereignty and a heinous politically-motivated provocation to its ideology and system.
    Branding the case as a hideous, premeditated and organized international terrorism committed under intervention of the south Korean authorities from A to Z, it said:
    It is the unanimous view of people at home and abroad that such "defection", made in few hours via third country, would have been impossible without direct involvement and control of the authorities.
    Your side has kept each of our citizens in a solitary cell, completely isolating them from the outside world and gagging the press. It is another proof that the recent case was committed in an organized way under the direction of the authorities.
    Your side's group abduction is an unethical act of destroying the harmonious families and ruthlessly violating human rights.
    More than 40 days has passed since the DPRK girls were abducted and taken away to south Korea.
    Our side had already and strongly demanded through several channels that your side make an apology for the group abduction and unconditionally return our citizens and inflict a severe punishment on those involved in the abduction case or hand them over to the DPRK's court.
    We had also repeatedly urged your side to take a prompt working step so that the abductees' parents can go to Seoul through Panmunjom and meet their children face to face, as desired by them.
    But, your side has persistently refused to accept our just demands under such shameful sophism as "free will" and "reflection of yearning".
    We again and strongly urge your side to apologize for the unprecedented group abduction, return our citizens without delay and condition and severely punish or hand over to our legal institution those involved in the case and its wire-pullers.
    Your side should also clearly assure us and the international community that such abduction will never be repeated.
    For the present, you should take a practical measure at once so as to enable parents of the abductees to go to Seoul via Panmunjom and meet their children face to face and bring them back home.
    The letter warned that if the south Korean side continues to deny the hideous crime and detain the abducted citizens of the DPRK for no reason, Park Geun Hye, the chief executive of south Korea, will be held wholly accountable for the grave consequence arising therefrom. -0-

ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA on the 36th anniversary of the Kwangju Massacre

               London 22nd  Juche 105(2016)
The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) and the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) today issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the Kwangju massacre by the south Korean puppets and the US imperialists
   36 years ago the south Korean fascist puppet army killed 5,000 people and injured 14,000 in the south Korean city of Kwangju .Here the residents had organised protests against the military fascist dictatorship of Chun Du Hwan . These protests quickly turned into an uprising against the military dictatorship and were forcibly put down by the south Korean military .It was a truly barbaric massacre ,an act of genocide by the south Korean military fascists against the civilian population.It was a fascist despotic act aimed at  suppressing the democrats and patriots of south Korea.
   Standing behind the south Korean puppets and manipulating them  were the US imperialists At the time the US held peacetime operational command over the south Korean puppet army , it could not move without the say so of the US commander in south Korea . Moreover the then south Korean military ruler Chun Do Hwan had been trained in the US and had also fought in the Vietnam war . He was a special agent of the US CIA.
   A special meeting was held at the White House on the 22nd of May 1980 attended by Edmund Muskie, Warren Christopher ,Zbigniew Brzezinski and Donald Gregg amongst others . It was decided here that the Kwangju uprising should be suppressed.
    On the 22nd of May 1980 US commander in south Korea general Wickham gave the green light for the south Korean armed forces to suppress the Kwangju uprising by force. US president Jimmy Carter said that security concerns must override human rights .
   The US also sent the warship USS Coral Sea to south Korea to be on standby to assist the south Korean armed forces in the suppression of the Kwangju massacre.
    Thus the US imperialists are the true author of the Kwangju massacre. US imperialism has the blood of 5,000 south Koreans on its hands!
   Our organisations, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA  , remembering the innocent lives that were ended by the south Korean puppets condemn the south Korean fascist puppet regime  and call for the full facts of the massacre to be made public and for those responsible for slaughter to be brought to justice.

FROM LONDON TO BEIJING TO PYONGYANG:

April 7th our delegation formed by Dermot Hudson, Raluca Maroiu and myself in representation of ASSPUK, JISGE and KFA UK, arrived at Pyongyang.

This was the first time that me and my partner have visited the Land of Juche invited by KASS the treatment and hospitality was unbeatable.

One day before arrival at Sunan airport in Pyongyang we had to transit in Revisionist China which has approved sanctions against DPRK's sovereignty at the United Nations.

A country that calls itself socialist and still shielding in that old Marxist theory that to build socialism the capitalism needs to end in its historical role and that socialism would only be possible in an industrialized society. Today the bourgeois class that created these measures are CPCh members and its central committee. It is ridiculous to hear excuses from people who defend that China didnt make sanctions against the DPRK.

In approving these sanctions attacking the sovereignty and independence of a people who are industrialized and developed its socialism, created impressive infraextructuras and high quality of life of their country with the greatest weapon in the world the Ideological concience because in DPRK unlike other countries the Popular Masses have achived independence of bourgeois social classes. And therefore they are masters of their own destiny.

The first impression at the Beijing Capital Airport and the airport road to the hotel for the night was no different than London. KFC, HSBC, STARBUCKS, BURGUER KING MACDONALS.....flooded the airport.

When we arrive at the new Sunan International Airport inaugurated 1 year ago. I was surprised of the big difference between the socialist Korea and Chinese revisionism. There was no capitalist propaganda, just 100% korean socialist stores, no Macdonals or starbucks. Also we could see some cultural posters.

We got a great welcome by Comrade Kim Ho Sok Head of the European section of KASS and Comrade Choi translator and guide. Upon arrival we took a picture of the delegation for the newspaper and we set off.

I could see numerous monuments and buildings and daily life of DPRK people in the suburbs and in the city. I could see socialist people who until now I had only seen in pictures and videos.

We arrived at Pyongyang Koryo Hotel when we went upstairs to our rooms we were so impressed that our room almost looked like a flat. With an impressive large closet, bedroom and a living room with sofa, table and TV plus bathroom. A room that I could never pay anywhere in the world.

After leaving our stuff we attended a welcome dinner with Mr Kim and Madam Choi.

The reception was worthy of kings abroad but this time for foreign workers. It was a great welcome and a great honor to be finally in DPRK.

Comrade Dermot had a different programm from us the first days to prepare his doctorate.

In the morning professors from KASS camed to attend training lectures and meetings.

IDEOLOGY, YOUTHS! THE VANGUARD AND DEVELOPMENT:

During our trip we gave lectures with three different professors about issues such as youth aducation, history of leaders, the Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism Party guiding Ideology.

Two days we been with Professor Moon, a woman who was orphaned after the Korean War Against the US Imperialism. An orphan who grew up, study and became a professor of Philosophy and respected member of the KASS.

The Orphans grow in Korea as any another child, the Party and the State takes care of them, offer them a center where they can live, grow ,study and form themselves. The DPRK always put young people first because for the Korean people the youths are the Vanguard as they were in the past present and future. the DPRK leaders President Kim Il Sung, Chairman Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un always attached great importance to the proper training of orphans and disabled, visiting schools and places of residence. In a visit of President Kim Il Sung in high school of orphans, seeing the place where they slept and eat and he wanted to improve their conditions such as the Pilow were too hard for them or when he walk into the kitchen he said that the youths should receive nutritious food for good health and should have musical instruments and accessories to develop their creativity so that someday may be musicians, philosophers, doctors, teachers ...

Perhaps for all these principles and reality and the history of Korea as a big family we can understand why the Korean people considered the leaders as parents.

The education in the DPRK is linked to creativity, very important concept in the Korean socialism. When young people develop their creativity such as when playing an instrument or when trying to learn something they like, the state helps them to develop that creativity with all means. In the capitalist society a very low percentage of children get to develop this creativity, and to develop a skill you need money, if you want to become a musician, actor, painter everything, with or without capacity ... You'll need to go to a great school and spend time and money .. something that very few people can afford. Korean youth have huge palaces and centers where they can fully develop their creativity free with all available means like the Mangyondae Children Palace with playing areas, dancing areas, artistic areas a lot of free of charge assignatures. These centers only in capitalist society are for children whose parents have a high purchasing power.

This demonstrates the superiority of socialism as a system where the masses acquire their independence and fail to develop to build the socialist and communist society.

Korean families do not have to worry about the future of their children, of having money to pay a good school and in turn have money to pay for the house, to have money to take their sons to the University and further develop its capacity, for once finished the Universiry to find a job according to their carrier and not having to work in other different work and hang your diploma in the toilet.

In Korea, education, housing, creativity and the right to life. They are free of charge and therefore human.

The childrens go alone through the streets, laughing, playing carefree. Since families do not have the fear of something happening to them like taking drugs or kidnap them or bad things ocurring to them.

Creativity is linked to the progress of the human being, any attempt to create something for the human progress may lead to the loss of money of the 5% who control the big corporations and governments, all these ideas and people just disappear and hopes are destroyed.

In this country it takes years to build a residential building which then will be empty and we can see more people and families living on the street without the right to life, but living in a country they call free, where freedom depends on money in your pocket,

In the DPRK the workers and the army built entire streets in 1 year and later giving free to citizens, I cannot see people living on the streets. In every city and parts of the country they build education and cultural centers to develop culture and creativity as Chairman Kim Il Sung said to achieve a society where every worker, soldier and peasant are intellectuals.

The first day we visited accompanied by Comrade Lee which would be our translator and companion during the trip, the Great People's Study House, an impressive library, where anyone can go and read or study languages, when we went we saw a room of people learning English, another of Japanese and another of Mandarin. Also areas of computers and music appreciation, music and books from everywhere endless and completely free learning culture. We went out to a terrace where we could see the wonderful views of the Kim Il Sung Square and performans of the youths practicing for the 7 Congress of the WPK.

Not only in Pyongyang, but in all cities and towns is having progress and construction to improve people's life, leisure centers such as the Science and tecnology complex an impressive modern center with access to culture and technology and learning from youths to old people and which we had the honor to visit and which operates entirely with clean energy like wind and solar, schools for orphans and disabled the last built recently in Nampo City and we found that they were building a new center in the periphery in Pyongyang, power stations and the use of clean and sustainable energy that do not harm our planet is a key factor, homes giving free to the people and that will never be emty .. recently after floods in Rason city they built new homes in a month to give to those affected.

We visited many sites of the capital as the Juche Tower mecca for followers of this idea and with fantastic views from the top, the monument to the founding of the Party where you can see reliefs depicting the revolutionary struggle, the ideological unity and progress in the generations and the proletarian internationalism

We had the honor to present flowers and pay our respects in front of the statues of the great leaders in Mansu Hill where hundreds of people , youths and childrens were there to offer respects the day before of The Day of the Sun.

On the Day of the Sun we visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun where we offered respects to the leaders and walked through the beautiful gardens outside the palace .

After, we visited the Kimilsungilia exhibition and later enjoyed the afternoon in the Spring Art Friendship Festival which is held every two years and where musicians and artists come from all over the world.

Almost every day we went for long walks in Pyongyang , one day from the Munsu Water Park to our hotel , an hour and a half ride watching the normal life of the Korean People, children playing in the street and people in pubs drinking beer after work.

The Korean people seeking self-development for Surviving and Thriving Despite Sanctions of the imperialist and capitalist propaganda Something that is only possible to defense and develop thanks to the Songun idea.

Other examples of self-development that we could visit was the Hosiery factory in Pyongyang, where they produce Footwear and Different clothes not only for the country but also part exported, the second example is the Pyongchon Revolutionary site Demonstrating that a difference in what we know in the West that all the weapons used during the War were from the Soviet Union, they Models built and manufactured weapons for themselves and the independence of the country. This place is definitely a practical example of the Birth of the Songun idea.

Korea demonstrates that socialism and communism is the only way to achieve the independence of the popular masses and the Human Being. Basis of the Juche idea.

The Kimilsungista-Kimjongilista Guide party thought and society created a new understanding of history On the basis of the Human Being, where the humans are owns of their destiny whatever they had to achieve their independence and Build the socialist and communist society.

While other socialist countries failed due to revisionism and opportunism system and lack of ideology and class consciousness among the popular masses . Korea resolved these problems by observing its limits and by developing the scientific socialism to the Juche idea and the conditions that the country lived . always having as main task the Ideology and creativity to achieve the collectivist unity against the individualism, dogmatism, flunkeyism, opportunism and revisionism and have always been victorious.

This idea does not deny the Marxism - Leninism or his legacy but both complement and in every country in the world these two ideologies must be understood and studied by the international communist movement against the dogmatic and opportunistic sectors to ensure a step forward in the construction of socialist and communist society.

KOREA IS ONE!

During our visit we could meet and view many people a descendant of Korean residents in foreigns countries, As a Korean journalist living in the United States and supporter of the DPRK who has been 67 times in the homeland of Juche, or members Chongrion.

We were invited by the Mission in Pyongyang of the AINDF, with a cordial talk and lunch. They explained the heroic struggle of the South Korean people in Defense of reunification and against imperialist domination in the south. Many people who struggle on but nobody puts them on TV or Newspapers. Their struggle demostrate they Vanguard of the North Korean people and the role of AINDF in the liberation of the South and the reunifacion with the north to finally the Korean peninsula be ONE, sovereign and independent of the domination and propaganda imperialist today in day the US Army has deployed 300,000 troops and an arsenal of 1000 nuclear bombs.

We could visit several places showing that Korean people are one. Like for example the National Gift Exhibition . An impressive building contains the Worldwide Koreans Gifts to the leaders. Gifts from Korean resident in China Association, the chongryion, political people pro reunification in South Korea and ordinary citizens.

A large building which shows that Korea is and should be one.

We also visited the Frienship International Exihibition 300km from the capital passing villages and mountains where they could observe the progress and serenity. This place on the mountain is made up of gifts from around the world brought to the leaders showing that Korea is not alone.

After the same day we visited the Pohyong Budist temple, several buildings from 1042, the undisputed heritage of the Korean people, some of the buildings are new since they were destroyed by the imperialist bombing during the war. The monks of this temple during the war took up the weapons and followed President Kim Il Sung in the liberation of the motherland.

We also visited another two museums The Jonsung Revolutionary Museum, beutifull place located on the secret tunnel used by the KPA and comrade Kim Il Sung and comrade Kim Chaek during the Korean War. We visited the The Fatherland liberation War museum. With a new modern building and where you can see and think realistic who really started the Korean War.

We could visit Mangyongdae, birth place of President Kim Il Sund and the Cementery of the Fatherland liberation War Martyrs.

The Korean people defend their culture and historical legacy have as their traditions and culture as something unique unlike countries affected by capitalist globalization wich have lost their cultural heritage.

Korean society is like one family so we can understand the meaning of family and the Great Leaders as parents an served the people throughout their lives.
