ANTI-DPRK LEAFLETS: OPEN NOTICE OF KPA FRONT-LINE UNITS

Pyongyang, March 22 (KCNA) -- The front-line units of the Korean People's Army decided to send an open notice to the south Korean authorities Saturday which said: The south Korean puppet authorities are egging despicable confrontational villains on to flock to the areas along the Military Demarcation Line and scatter leaflets slandering the DPRK. A few days ago, a group of hooligans more dead than alive who belong to the ultra-right conservative organizations such as the "Alliance for the Movement of Free North" announced they would get balloon-borne anti-DPRK leaflets numbering 500 000 and thousands of DVDs scattered in the air above the DPRK before and after the upcoming March 26th, the 5th anniversary of the sinking of Cheonan warship even with the U.S. "Human Rights Foundation" involved. It is the height of hostility that the south Korean puppet forces still misuse the warship sinking case, that has long been branded as the unprecedented hideous conspiratorial farce, for escalating confrontation with the DPRK by linking the case with it. They are mulling scattering DVDs and USBs containing "The Interview", a reactionary film that has been censured worldwide for seriously hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK. This is the gravest politically-motivated provocation against the DPRK and a de facto declaration of a war against it. Their reckless acts are aimed at deliberately escalating tension on the Korean peninsula where the situation has reached the brink of a war due to Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint war rehearsals. All the firepower strike means of the front-line units of the KPA will launch without prior warning indiscriminate operations to blow up balloons carrying those leaflets. Whether scattering operations are conducted in areas along the MDL or in any point of sea or in the air, whether balloons or drones are used for those operations and whether they are carried  out openly or secretly, they will never escape strikes of firepower strike means of the KPA to be involved in the operations for blowing up the balloons. Powerful firepower strike means deployed in the front line units will go into action. Any challenge to the DPRK's just physical countermeasures will entail double and treble merciless retaliatory strikes. Inhabitants of the south side in the areas close to or bordering the MDL are recommended to evacuate in advance for their safety if the above-said leaflet scattering operations are conducted. We do not want to see innocent inhabitants of the south side suffer any slight harm due to the reckless acts of the confrontational villains. The south Korean puppet authorities will be held fully accountable for all the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by their leaflet scattering operations.

He was highly praised and deeply trusted by the world people as an iron-willed commander, outstanding strategist and a symbol of victory in the anti-imperialist struggle as he defeated the formidable enemies, the Japanese and U.S. imperialists who were superior in numerical strength and military technique with politico-ideological, strategic and tactical superiority in the last anti-Japanese revolutionary war and the Fatherland Liberation War.
He was the greatest man whom no one could match in the revolutionary traits and personality.
For a long period since he embarked upon the road of the revolution, he suffered bitterest grief and agony, but he always thought of the revolution only and devoted his all to its victory.
In the course of the protracted revolution, the President protected in a responsible manner the destiny and future of those whom he once made comrades. He took care of tens of thousands of revolutionary soldiers and deeply trusted them and showed every possible loving care for them.

He checked and foiled the moves of the imperialist reactionaries for domination and worked hard for the development of the world socialist movement, the victory of independent cause against imperialism, the establishment of independent and fair international relations and global peace and security under the uplifted banner of independence and international justice.

The history of Kim Il Sung's nation, Kim Jong Il's Korea, is a glorious course in which the Korean revolution started in Mt. Paektu and has recorded victories. This is a path of eternal victory to be followed by the Korean people for final victory and a path of prosperity of the country.
It is the revolutionary duty and noble moral obligation of the party and people of the DPRK to hold Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in high esteem for all ages and successfully carry forward and accomplish generation after generation the revolutionary cause of Juche bequeathed by them, Kim Jong Un said in his treatise, putting forth the tasks for carrying them out.

Kim Il Sung and the Banner of Independence

President Kim Il Sung, upholding the banner of independence, rendered immortal services to the times and history.

Having embarked on the road of struggle for the country and people in his early teens, he authored the Juche idea, the gist of which is that the masses of the people are the masters and the driving force of the revolution and construction; in other words, it means that man is the master of his own destiny and has the strength with which to carve out his destiny.

Since then the Korean revolution has vigorously advanced along the road of independence.

In the period of the armed struggle to liberate Korea from the Japanese military occupation, he ensured that the guerrillas kept the strong conviction that they should fight the Japanese by making themselves weapons and grenades instead of looking forward to aids from others.

The guerrillas waged the arduous armed struggle for over 15 years, holding high the slogan of winning back the country by themselves, and achieved the country’s liberation.

After liberation he made sure that Korea took the road of Korean-style democracy, not adopting other countries’ styles, and vigorously led the struggle to reunify the country divided by foreign forces.

In the grim days of the Korean war (1950-1953) to repel the aggression of the United States he ensured that the service personnel of the Korean People’s Army employed unique tactical methods such as building tunnels and bringing direct-firing guns up to the heights, thus winning victory in the war.

After the war he put forward a unique line of economic construction to give priority to the development of heavy industry and simultaneously develop light industry and agriculture, and led his people to get rid of flunkeyism and dogmatism and take the road of independence.

When other socialist countries persistently forced Korea to join the CMEA, insisting on the “integrated economy” within them, he never vacillated in the slightest nor deviated an iota from the line of building the independent national economy.

In the mid-1980s the trend of “reform” and “openness” was sweeping the socialist countries, but he firmly maintained the independent stand and held up higher the red flag, thus defending the socialist system of Korea reliably even though others abandoned socialism.

Kim Il Sung paid great attention to realize the cause of making the world independent throughout his life.

He gave clear answers to the matters of principle arising in realizing the cause of global independence such as those on maintaining independence in the struggle for peace and fighting against the imperialist forces of aggression with the united efforts of all the peace-loving forces of the world, and on struggling while uniting and vice versa. When Francois Mitterrand, head of the French Socialist Party, visited Korea in February 1981, Kim Il Sung said to him that in order to prevent a new world war, the European countries should not be aligned with any blocs but make themselves independent and neutral, and that they should help the newly-emerging countries to firmly maintain their independence and build theirs into independent, sovereign states.

When he met Utsunomiya Tokuma, Japanese politician, he told him that the global peace would be surely maintained only when all the countries of the world, including European and Asian countries as well as Japan became independent and that it was his ideal for peace.

Kim Il Sung assisted heart and soul other countries in accomplishing their cause of anti-imperialist independence.

Already in the period of anti-Japanese armed struggle for Korea’s liberation he actively assisted the Chinese revolution and defended the former Soviet Union with arms. After liberation he also gave unstinted assistance to the countries and nations in their struggle against imperialism.

The support and assistance given by him to the Algerian people who launched an armed struggle for the national liberation in Africa, known as the Dark Continent and the continent of colonies, wrote a brilliant page in the world history of national liberation struggle.

When the Algerian patriots, encouraged by the victory of the Korean people in the Korean war, waged an armed struggle after forming the National Liberation Front in August 1954, he sent them food and other materials and set the day and the week of Algeria so as to express solidarity with them in their struggle.

When the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic was established in September 1958, he saw that the DPRK was the first country to acknowledge it and establish diplomatic relations with it.

He also gave energetic and disinterested support and aid to the peoples of Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in their struggle against colonialism and racism, the Latin American peoples’ struggle against the US imperialists and pro-US dictatorship, Arabians’ struggle against the US imperialists and Israeli Zionists, as well as the Cuban, Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian peoples’ struggle against the aggression of the US imperialists, thus greatly inspiring them to bring about historic victories.

The banner of independence upheld by President Kim Il Sung is a great power of strength and encouragement to the Korean people who are achieving eye-opening successes in the socialist construction with a firm stand of independence and also to the progressive peoples of the world who are struggling for the realization of global independence.

DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman Censures U.S. Projected Deployment of THAAD in S. Korea

    Pyongyang, March 26 (KCNA) -- The U.S. has undisguisedly revealed its ulterior design to deploy at any cost THAAD in south Korea, trumpeting about the missile "threat" from the DPRK more noisily than ever before.
    A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK in a statement on Thursday said in this regard:
    The U.S. is busy staging joint military drills against the DPRK in a bid to push it to taking strong counteractions and steadily escalate the tension on the Korean peninsula, one of immediate goals of which is to press for the deployment of THAAD in south Korea.
    What the U.S. seeks in this deployment is to round off its preparations for mounting a preemptive strike at the DPRK and create favorable conditions for containing China and Russia, its strategic rivals, pursuant to its strategy for dominating the world.
    The projected THAAD deployment was prompted by the U.S. strategic purpose to form the U.S.-Japan-south Korea triangular military alliance, the Asian-version of NATO, and set up a global missile defence system at any cost.
    The south Korean puppet forces with inveterate humiliating sycophancy toward the U.S. are making no scruple of perpetrating acts of blocking the reunification of the country and harassing peace and stability in the region as a shock brigade of the U.S. for carrying out its strategy for dominating the world.
    The south Korean puppet group is keen to maintain its power and realize its wild ambition for stifling the DPRK with the backing of the U.S. The group is working hard to turn the Korean peninsula, a hotspot where the complicated interests of big powers are intermingled, into a theater of fierce scramble among them by introducing the dangerous war hardware into south Korea.
    In case THAAD is deployed in south Korea, that will establish a new Cold War structure in Northeast Asia and the peninsula will be again exposed to the danger of being reduced to the theater of a war of big powers.
    The more desperately the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces resort to their war drills and arms buildup against the DPRK, the further the latter will bolster up its war deterrence to cope with them. 

Kim Jong Un Gives Field Guidance to Newly-Built Fish Meal Fodder Factory

    Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, gave field guidance to the Fish Meal Fodder Factory newly built by the KPA.

    Enjoying a bird's-eye view of the factory, he said that a foundation was laid for producing and supplying the fish meal fodder necessary for breeding fish and it opened up a prospect for carrying out the behests of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il who made so much efforts for improving the diet of the service personnel and people by developing fish breeding.

    The appearance of the factory alone proves that a lot of efforts were made with strong determination, he said, noting with great satisfaction that its builders demonstrated once again the work style and mettle of the People's Army in implementing the behests of the leaders and the party's policy on developing fish breeding.

    After being briefed before a map showing a panoramic view of the factory, he went round its various places to learn in detail about production there.

    He said that it was good that the factory was producing varieties of fish meal fodder for sturgeon, rainbow-trout and others with tiny shrimp, sand launce, anchovy and hard-finned sandfish.

    Noting that the People's Army was taking the lead in locally producing fish food, he stressed that the construction of the factory made it possible to breed fishes of various species in a big way with fish meal fodder produced by it.

    He set forth the tasks before the factory.

    Underlining the need to pay deep attention to the work for updating the factory and establishing cultured practice in production and life at a higher level, he said it should reinforce modern equipment and put fish selection, processing, packing and conveyance on a streamlined and unmanned basis and turn its compound into a thick woodland and greenery.

    He stressed the need to regularly supply fishes for the production of fodder in order to keep the factory operating in full capacity and take a thorough measure to prevent fodder from going bad. He added that the factory should build up a strong technical force and raise the level of technical skill of its employees to establish a scientific method of producing fish meal fodder.

    Expressing expectation and belief that the employees of the factory would creditably fulfill their duties, he had a photo session with them.

He was the greatest man whom no one could match in the revolutionary traits and personality.
For a long period since he embarked upon the road of the revolution, he suffered bitterest grief and agony, but he always thought of the revolution only and devoted his all to its victory.
In the course of the protracted revolution, the President protected in a responsible manner the destiny and future of those whom he once made comrades. He took care of tens of thousands of revolutionary soldiers and deeply trusted them and showed every possible loving care for them.

Kim Jong Un Inspects Combined Fishing-tackle Factory of KPA

Pyongyang, March 18 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA) Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, gave field guidance to the combined fishing-tackle factory under the KPA.

He enjoyed a bird's-eye view of the newly-built factory and praised the KPA for having created one more valuable wealth of the country without being known to others.

Seeing the layout of the factory, he said with pleasure that it has been well built in a neat and cultured way in keeping with the Party's intention and that its gate and fences are peculiar to a fishing-tackle producer.

After being briefed on the factory before its panoramic map, he went round various parts of the factory to learn about its production and management.

The factory is equal to an arsenal for the fishery front, he said, urging it to produce not only equipment for the professional fishery stations but also fishing tackles needed for sideline fishery of military units stationed in islets and coastal areas.

He said that the production capacity of the factory should be decisively increased to supply enough fishing equipment needed for the fishery stations.

Stressing the need to push ahead in a big way with the work for putting the factory on a more modern basis, he took necessary measures.

Traits as a People’s Leader

Supreme leader Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is winning great affection and respect from his people, the intensity of which is drawing the admiration of the international community.

The world wonders how the Korean leader, though it was not long since he took official posts, is so loved by his people.

The answer to this must be found in his politics of affection for the people.

Kim Jong Un bestows his warm love on the people.

Whenever he meets soldiers and people, he embraces them tenderly, gives them a clap, walks holding their hands in his and whispers in their ears. When he is among the children, he pats on their cheeks and unreservedly accepts their requests. He poses for photos with ordinary soldiers and people, arm in arm. While visiting the army units he stands with every one of the soldiers, numbering dozens, who are unwilling to part from him, to pose for a camera for a long time.

It happened when he inspected an island-defending unit. He looked round the barracks, mess hall and guard post of the soldiers, dwelling houses of officers, school and kindergarten and posed for a photo with them, before he boarded a vessel to leave. The soldiers, officers and their wives, shouting hurrah in tears, followed him. As he saw them jumping into the cold seawater, Kim Jong Un got off the vessel and told them to come out, or else he would not leave. He said repeatedly to the officers to order their men to come out. He went aboard again after they all had come out.

Even God will be moved by such traits of him to embrace all the service personnel and people with warm love. Kim Jong Un’s politics of love for the people is inconceivable apart from his thoroughgoing view on people.

He regards people as the most valuable being in the world. It is his motto that the leader and officials are necessary for the people. Affection for the people becomes the starting point of all his thinking and activities and the supreme principle and the ultimate objective of his politics.

He wrote “Let us serve the people!” on the documents submitted by officials. While looking round a newly built structure, he asked whether people liked it and stressed that it must be built for the people’s convenience first of all and nothing should be spared as it was for the people. Saying that things to be provided to the people should be flawless, he instilled in the mind of officials a sense of responsibility as the servants of people. When he inspects the army units he feels the temperature of the floors in the barracks and tastes soy sauce. During his visit to factories, enterprises, kindergartens and houses he takes care of the life of the working people and children with great affection.

Kim Jong Un requests officials to consider the people’s interests as the highest priority and absolutely and make tireless efforts for the good of the people. This is the very demand he has made on himself, too.

An illustration of this is his on-site guidance to the construction of the Munsu Water Park before its inauguration last October. He visited the construction site three times in September alone to build it as a world-class water park. On Sunday, some days before its inaugural ceremony, he came to the construction site again and made the rounds of every facility lest there should be anything amiss. He was all smiles as if he were hearing people’s laughter that would fill the park.

Under the leadership of Kim Jong Un who is devoting his all for the sake of people Korea today scores a great success in improving the people’s living standards.

The sector of agriculture is opening up a rosy vista for solving the food problem of the people and the sector of light industry produces a rich assortment of foodstuffs and consumer goods quite popular among the people.

Changjon Street, Unha Scientists Street and apartment buildings for lecturers of Kim Il Sung University and sportspersons sprang up in Pyongyang and dwelling houses of modern style mushroomed in cities and rural areas across the country.

The Rungna People’s Recreation Ground, Thongilgori Fitness Centre, Ryugyong Health Complex, People’s Open-air Ice Rink, Munsu Water Park, Mirim Riding Club, Masikryong Ski Resort and other recreation centres and resting places were built, which resounded with happy laughter of people. This is the reality of Korea today.

It is no wonder that the people ardently love and absolutely trust and follow the leader who administers politics of affection for them. 

S. Korean Plot-Breeding Organization against Reunification Should Be Dissolved: CPRK

Pyongyang, March 14 (KCNA) -- On March 10, Jong Jong Uk, vice-chairman of the south Korean "preparatory committee for unification", opened to public at a working breakfast the fact that there existed "a team for unification lacking agreement and unification of social systems" in the "preparatory committee for unification" and confessed that they were preparing in secret "other form of unification without south-north agreement" and other organization in the regime was also studying the "unification of social systems."
He went the lengths of letting loose a spate of sophism that the regime had a concrete measure to deal with people of various social origins in the north in case of "unification through absorption of social system."
A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) issued a statement on Saturday in this regard:
In the past the puppet group trumpeted about "unification of social systems" and "unification through absorption" whenever an opportunity presented itself. But this is the first time that it openly disclosed the inside story about its scenario.
The disclosure of this fact sparked off uproar in south Korea, the statement said, and went on:
Much upset by this, puppet Chongwadae and the coteries of the "preparatory committee for unification" claimed that "it was not true" and let him appear before media persons to assert that the "preparatory team for unification through absorption" didn't exist in a bid to evade the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by his remarks. But this is like crying over spilt milk.
As far as the "preparatory committee for unification" is concerned, it was set up as a mechanism directly under the "president" and its chairperson is Park Geun Hye herself. It was created by Park in July last year involving the authorities, political camp and NGOs including the puppet Ministry of Unification, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Intelligence Service, Ministry of Justice and "National Assembly" under the pretext of working out a "blueprint for peace and unification" and "constitution for unification" for the purpose of realizing the "confidence-building process on the Korean peninsula".
The successive rulers of south Korea had dreamt of wild ambition for  onfrontation of social systems and "unification through absorption" but there were no such heinous anti-reunification confrontation maniacs as the present puppet forces keen on confrontation of social systems by making the above-said team.
The puppet forces, having an axe to grind and daggers hidden behind belts to hurt fellow countrymen, are talking about "dialogue", "confidence" and "improved relations". This is an unpardonable mockery and insult to the DPRK and the south Korean people's mindset, public opinion at home and abroad and all Koreans.
The puppet forces are no more than cat's paws disgustingly kowtowing to their U.S. master keen to bring the dark clouds of nuclear war to the nation and colonial stooges who cannot exist even a moment without the U.S. backing. Yet, they are crying out for "unification of social systems" and "unification through absorption" in an effort to bring down the inviolable and dignified social system in the DPRK. This is nothing but a silly charade that makes the boiled head of a cow provoke a side-splitting laughter. The "unification through absorption" touted by the puppet group is no more than a daydream.
The DPRK asserts the improved inter-Korean relations and peace and reunification not because it does not know other form and method of reunification or it lacks strength and ability. Park Geun Hye, as the head of the "preparatory committee for unification", should give a clear and responsible clarification of those outbursts and make apology for them before the entire nation and dissolve at once the "committee." Park should know that if she fails to do so, the DPRK will not deal with the present south Korean authorities.
