DPRK ACCUSES U.S. PRESIDENT OF EVADING BLAME FOR
TENSION ON KOREAN PENINSULA
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the DPRK
Foreign Ministry gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA Friday as
regards the ceaseless charade staged by the U.S. to evade the blame for the
worst situation on the Korean Peninsula:
Shortly ago, the U.S. president let loose a spate of invectives falsifying truth, talking about "provocation" and "threat" from the DPRK in a bid to give a shot in the arm of the chief executive of south Korea during her visit to her master.
The recently escalated confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. was sparked off by its high-handed hostile act of pulling up the former over its satellite launch for peaceful purposes.
The DPRK just took minimum countermeasures for self-defence to protect its sovereignty and security in order to cope with the U.S. escalating hostile actions.
The U.S. let B-52, B-2A, F-22 and all other air nuclear strike means make open sorties into the air over the peninsula for the first time in history, posing the biggest-ever nuclear threat to the DPRK. This compelled Pyongyang to take tough countermeasures for self-defence and pushed the situation in Korea to the brink of war.
There is world public opinion that the situation on the peninsula has shown a sign of detente since the U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises were over. This goes to prove that the U.S. hostile policy and military threat to the DPRK are the root cause of the tension.
After escalating the tension on the peninsula, the U.S. is talking a lot about the updating of security alliance, re-confirmation of defense commitments, establishment of joint missile defense system and investment in it. Lurking behind this is a sinister intention to push ahead with its pivot-to-Asia-Pacific strategy.
The U.S. claim that all its military actions are "defensive" whereas all actions of the DPRK are "provocative" is more sheer sophism than Washington's propaganda made in the 1950s and the 1960s that the "Reds" had horns on their heads.
No matter how hard the U.S. president tries to cover up his sophism with rhetoric, he can neither change it into truth nor pull the wool over the eyes of the awakened people of the world.
The root cause of tension will not be removed but the tension and danger of conflicts are bound to repeat themselves unless the U.S. stops its hostile acts against the DPRK and drops its hostility towards it.
The U.S. president would be well advised not to talk about "change" in the DPRK but reflect on his own wrong view in good time and make a bold decision to correct it at least. -0-

DPRK SUPREME COURT SPOKESMAN EXPOSES CRIMES OF
AMERICAN PAE JUN HO
Pyongyang,
May 9 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the Supreme Court of the DPRK gave an answer
to a question raised by KCNA Thursday as regards the assertion made by the U.S.
government and media about the legal action taken against American Pae Jun Ho
who committed crimes against the DPRK. They claimed that he was not tried in a
transparent manner and the DPRK was trying to use this issue as a political
bargaining chip.
The spokesman said:
Pae set up plot-breeding bases in different places of China for the purpose of toppling the DPRK government from 2006 to October 2012 out of distrust and enmity toward the DPRK. He committed such hostile acts as egging citizens of the DPRK overseas and foreigners on to perpetrate hostile acts to bring down its government while conducting a malignant smear campaign against it. He was caught red handed and prosecuted after entering Rason City of the DPRK with anti-DPRK literature on Nov. 3 last year.
Pae visited different churches of the U.S. and south Korea to preach the necessity and urgency to bring down the DPRK government. He was dispatched to China as a missionary of the international church missionary group with a long mission in April, 2006. After setting up plot-breeding bases disguised with diverse signboards in different parts of China for the past six years, avoiding the eyes of its security organs, he brought together more than 1 500 citizens of the DPRK, China and foreigners before whom he gave anti-DPRK lectures. He invited even south Korean pastors hell-bent on the moves to escalate confrontation with compatriots to give lectures for malignantly slandering the Juche idea of the Workers' Party of Korea and the socialist system in the DPRK and instigating them to the acts to bring down its government.
He planned the so-called "Erico operation" to bring down the DPRK through his anti-DPRK religious activities from December 2010 to March 2012. In order to carry out the plan he infiltrated at least 250 students who had been educated at the plot-breeding bases operated by him into Rason City under the guise of tourists. He failed to set up an anti-DPRK base at Rajin Hotel in Rason City.
He collected and produced several anti-DPRK videos to make the false propaganda sound plausible and showed them many people in a bid to egg them onto activities to bring down the DPRK government. He bribed Song Je Suk and other citizens of the DPRK on foreign tours in an effort to get them involved in activities to topple the DPRK government. He dared commit such hideous crime as hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.
The DPRK Supreme Court held a trial of Pae at its court behind closed doors on Apr. 30, 2013 at his request in accordance with Section 270 of the DPRK Criminal Procedure Law.
As he refused pleading, the court did not allow the presence of a counsel, pursuant to Section 275 of the above-said law.
In the course of hearing Pae admitted all his crimes and they were clearly proved in an objective manner by evidence and testimonies made by witnesses.
The court sentenced him to 15 years of hard labor in consideration of candid confession of his crimes though they are liable to face death penalty or life imprisonment for an attempt at state subversion according to Section 60 of the DPRK Criminal Code.
Pae will be fully guaranteed the right as a prisoner according to the DPRK law while in jail.

KIM
JONG UN
VISITS MANSUDAE ART STUDIO
Pyongyang, May
13 (KCNA) -- Marshal Kim Jong Un, first secretary of
the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the National Defence Commission
of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, visited the
Mansudae Art Studio to guide the creation of the works portraying President Kim Il Sung to be displayed in the Victorious Fatherland
Liberation War Museum. He looked round the works.
He noted that creators have truthfully
portrayed the personality of the President as an invincible and iron-willed
commander, a peerless strategist and tender-hearted father of the service
personnel and the people, adding he felt as if he were watching his photos.
He watched again and again such works
portraying the President in the period of the Fatherland Liberation War as
"The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung planning
an operation", "The great leader Comrade Kim Il
Sung teaching a new combat method" and "The great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung laying down a policy of using tanks to
commanding officers of the KPA." He praised the creators for having
successfully dealt with the principle of historicism and the phases of those
times.
He said that photos of the President and
the works depicting him in the war period to be displayed in the museum would
help the visitors keenly realize how a great victory was won in the war and
where was the source of the indomitable mental strength displayed by the
service personnel and the people of the DPRK. Noting that what is essential in
creating art works depicting the President is to truthfully portray him
cherished in their minds, he told the creators to consider this principle as a
rule in creating such works. He specified the orientation and ways which would
serve as guidelines for creating such works and further developing the
Juche-based fine art. He was accompanied by Choe Hwi, first vice department
director of the C.C., the WPK, and Kim Ui Sun, vice department director of the
C.C., the WPK.
