The
whole course traversed by the Korean revolution, which has won only victory
overcoming hardships of history, is an eloquent testimony to the fact that the
power of ideology is limitless.
When
they set out on the road for the country’s liberation from the Japanese
military occupation (1905-1945) at the beginning of the previous century,
Korean revolutionaries had nothing with them.
Ideology
was the one and only weapon of the Korean revolution which started from the
scratch. Upholding the banner of the Juche idea and the Songun idea advanced by
President Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), Korean revolutionaries waged an arduous and
heroic armed struggle against the Japanese imperialists armed to the teeth
while rallying comrades and obtaining weapons by the strength of ideology. With
no state to back them from the rear or support from a regular army, they
achieved the liberation of the country (August 1945) by defeating the powerful
Japanese imperialism boasted of being the “leading power” in Asia.
After
the country’s liberation they successfully carried out complicated and
challenging tasks of building a new society by enlisting broad sections of the
masses by the strength of ideology.
By
giving full play to the political and ideological might they also shattered the
myth of the mightiness of the United States during the three-year Korean war
(1950-1953), plunging it to downhill slide. When the war broke out, a few
people thought that Korea could emerge victorious. However, the service personnel
and people of the DPRK, two years old after its founding, decisively repulsed
the armed invasion of the US-led imperialist allied forces, united in one mind
and will to safeguard their ideology and society at the cost of their lives,
and thus demonstrated the spirit of heroic Korea to the whole world.
Though
the US burgled that Korea would never rise up even after 100 years, the Korean
people accomplished the tasks of postwar reconstruction within three years with
the same mettle as they displayed in the war. Then they dynamically launched
the Chollima movement wiping out passivism and conservatism and realized the
industrialization within 14 years (1957-1970) which took other countries dozens
or hundreds of years. High politico-ideological enthusiasm of the people
brought about the establishment of people-centred socialist society of the
Korean style and of the socialist state, independent in politics,
self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence. In the
closing years of the last century Korea rose up as an impregnable socialist
fortress while remained unperturbed by both international political upheavals
like the collapse of socialism in several countries and the extreme manoeuvres
of the imperialist allied forces carried out to isolate and stifle it, taking
advantage of the collapse. Korea, once having been put under the eclipse on the
world political arena due to lack of power to defend it, is now a dignified
member of the world’s space and nuclear club which embrace only a few
countries.
Noteworthy
is the fact that such a reality in Korea has not been created in smooth or
peaceful environment.
The
showdown between Korea and the imperialist allied forces headed by the US over
the past 60 years is a war without gunshot and a showdown of power and
ideology.
It
is not because it enjoys military, technical and economic supremacy that Korea
has defended its sovereignty, dignity and socialism in the showdown with the US
which calls itself the “only superpower of the world.”
Korea
does not have great territory and population and moreover it suffers from the
tragedy of territorial division owing to the US. It is because Korea held fast
to ideology and gave full play to the spiritual strength of the masses by the
strength of ideology that it safeguarded socialism and laid a launching pad for
building a thriving country without any vacillation in the face of severe
situation and hardships in the closing years of the last century when the
imperialist allied forces, taking advantage of the collapse of socialism in
several countries and bragging about the “complete end-up of socialism on the
planet,” concentrated their efforts on stifling it.
The
indomitable spiritual strength of the service personnel and people of Korea to
build a thriving socialist nation by the strength of ideology gave birth to one
innovation after another startling the world. All the land under cultivation
was realigned into standardized plots for the first time in the 5 000-year-long
history, bringing about a sea change in the appearance of the country and CNC
technology, a cutting-edge technology, has been introduced into
machine-building industry on a high standard.
In
December 2012 Korea succeeded in launching its first applications satellite
Kwangmyongsong 3-2. In 2013 it made eye-opening successes in the building of a
thriving socialist country and a civilized socialist nation including the
construction of the Munsu Water Park, Mirim Riding Club, Masikryong Ski Resort
and medical service bases like Ryugyong Dental Hospital and Okryu Children’s
Hospital.
The
Masikryong Ski Resort is a good example of how limitless is the power of
ideology.
It
was a large-scale and modern ski resort, the first of its kind in Korea, and
its building was a grand nature-harnessing project which had to be carried out
in steep mountains and under bad weather.
However,
KPA soldiers wrought a miracle of completing the project, which had been
estimated to take more than 10 years, overcoming the manifold difficulties and
hardships with heroic spirit of implementing the order of supreme commander Kim
Jong Un unto death.
Now
the Korean people are advancing vigorously towards the targets of becoming
power in all aspects including the economy, science and technology and sports
by the strength of ideology which has no limit in width and depth.

KIM JONG UN LOOKS ROUND CONSTRUCTION SITE OF APARTMENT HOUSES FOR
EDUCATORS
Pyongyang, May 21 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander
of the Korean People's Army (KPA) Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers'
Party of Korea (WPK) and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of
the DPRK, looked round the construction site of apartment houses for educators
of Kim Chaek University of Technology.
Going round the site, he learned in detail
about the construction.
He was pleased to see the high-rise apartment
houses. He said that the buildings with curved surface of their outer walls
look like a sailing ship afloat on Taedong River, adding that they are
fashionable structures reflecting the party's intention to steadily improve
formative art in architecture and masterpieces demonstrating the architecture
of the DPRK rapidly developing after the workshop for workers in the field of
construction.
Noting that shops and other welfare and
service facilities on the ground floor of the apartment houses look nice and
stable and entrance between corridor and drawing room has been constructed
well, he praised the soldier-builders for constructing them as required by the
design ratified by the party.
It is the work-style of the soldier-builders
of KPA Unit 267 to fully meet the requirements of the construction method and
successfully ensure the safety of the structure, holding high the slogan 'Let
us take responsibility for the safety of the project and guarantee its absolute
quality for all eternity', he said, calling on all those in the construction field
to learn from their work style.
He gave an instruction to push ahead with the
frame project and inside and outside plastering and the production of furniture
at the same time.
As I always emphasize, in order to achieve
successes in scientific research it is necessary to solve in a responsible
manner the issue of living of scientists and researchers who conduct it, he
stressed.
There is nothing to spare for the educators
dedicating their whole life to training talents of the country, he said, noting
it is the party's intention to build lots of such apartment houses to provide
them to teachers and researchers in the future.
He underlined the need to construct more
apartment houses for the teachers and researchers of Kim Chaek University of
Technology so that they may conduct education and scientific research free from
worries in their living.
He said a new street would be formed on the
bank of River Taedong if more apartment houses for 500 families of the
educators of Kim Chaek University of Technology and service facilities appear
with the apartment houses now under construction as an axis. He added that it
was good to call it "Mirae Kwahakja (Future Scientists) Street".
He called for making the layout of the
interior and exterior of the street at the best level and thereby using their
construction as an occasion in making a revolution in the construction once
again. He proposed completing the construction by the Day of the Sun (birth
anniversary of President Kim Il Sung) next year by sending a powerful building
force made up of service personnel to the construction site of the street.
He said he would examine and decide on the
issue of building more apartment houses for 500 families of educators of Kim Il
Sung University as soon as possible.
He called on the soldier-builders to complete
the construction of the apartment houses for the educators of Kim Chaek
University of Technology by the founding anniversary of the WPK so that they
may be provided to educators and researchers of the university. He expressed
his expectation and conviction that KPA Unit 267 would realize the intention of
the WPK in practice.
He was accompanied by Choe Thae Bok, secretary
of the Central Committee of the WPK, and Lieut. General Ma Won Chun, director
of the Designing Department of the National Defence Commission.
KPA WILL WIPE OUT PARK GEUN HYE-LED MILITARY HOOLIGANS TO LAST ONE:
COMMAND OF SOUTHWESTERN FRONT OF KPA
Pyongyang, May 21 (KCNA) -- The Command of the
Southwestern Front of the Korean People's Army (KPA) issued the following open
report on Wednesday:
The Park Geun Hye-led military gangsters'
provocative hysteria has reached an extreme phase.
On May 20 alone, gangsters of the south Korean
puppet navy perpetrated such a grave military provocation as firing at random
at the warships of the Korean People's Army which were on regular guard duty in
the southwestern waters of the DPRK side and peaceable Chinese fishing boats.
This was a deliberate grave provocative act of
firing bullets and shells perpetrated by the south Korean puppet hooligans
despite the fact that they were well aware warships of the KPA navy were
operating to check the illegal fishing operations of Chinese civilian fishing
boats in the sensitive waters.
The deliberate preemptive firing perpetrated
by those military gangsters in the waters of the West Sea of Korea where the
situation always remains so tense that a war may break out any moment can never
be overlooked.
The gravity of the provocation lies in that it
was timed to coincide with the mad-cap live-shell firing drills being staged by
the gangsters everyday on Paekryong, Yonphyong and Taechong Islands, etc. while
escalating their military intrusion into the waters of the DPRK these days.
Such premeditated military provocations being
perpetrated by the Park Geun Hye group after amassing huge quantities of
destructive weapons are not unrelated to its serious ruling crisis.
Angry south Koreans are now staging
candle-light demos demanding "impeachment of Park Geun Hye" and the
puppet military is being hit hard by the public for unceasing breach of
military discipline and such foolish anti-DPRK racket kicked up by it,
describing even a "door of toilet" as a "drone from the
north".
The Park group let loose such unpardonable
invective as terming the DPRK a "country which should disappear",
triggering off an all-out retaliatory battle of its service personnel and
people.
It is a sinister intention of the Park Geun
Hye-led military gangsters to tide over its serious crisis and escape its
shameful defeat in the local elections at hand by making military provocations
against the DPRK in the sensitive waters.
The Command of the Southwestern Front of the
KPA sends the following open notice:
1. From this very moment, all warships of the
south Korean puppet navy, big and small, which recklessly maneuver in the
sensitive waters of the southwestern front, hot spots, will become without
exception targets of the direct sighting firing by all strike means under the
above-said Command.
The warships of the puppet navy recklessly
maneuvering at the direct instigation of the military hooligans are the root
cause of military provocations deliberately straining the situation in the
above-said hot spots and they are, therefore, targets of physical strikes which
should be blown up without fail.
2. The south Korean side will face military
strikes of the KPA without any warning at the moment the latter detects any
trifle provocation near the maritime guard demarcation of its army and around
the five islands in the West Sea of Korea.
It is the most urgent task for providing a
sure guarantee for the peace of the country and the security of the nation to
put under control the reckless preemptive firing, the height of confrontation
with compatriots, in advance.
3. We unhesitatingly clarify before the world
our will to settle accounts with the villains of the south Korean puppet army
right now if they are to fight us at any cost.
We advise them not to fire bullets and shells
in the back lane awkwardly and cowardly but seek a formal military solution.
This stand is based on our resolute decision
to wipe out the sworn enemy, confrontation maniacs, on this land to the last
man.
The determined and practical military actions
on the Southwestern Front of the KPA will help people clearly see in reality
who will disappear and who will tower high on the ground and in the sea.
LIKE FATHER, LIKE
DAUGHTER
Thirty-five
years have passed since an end was put to the dictatorship of Park Chung Hee,
which brought a disgrace on human history by its politics resorting to torture
and intelligence service based on the Yushin (Revitalization) Constitution and
NSL (National Security Law).
But,
today south Korea has become a replica of the past dark days.
DNA OF PARK GEUN HYE
When
Park Geun Hye was inaugurated as the first female president in the history of
south Korea, the world opinion was that how she, daughter of former dictator,
was elected as president.
And
it has been revealed that she has inherited all the DNA identifications of her
father.
Park
Chung Hee had seized the presidential power by a military coup, and his
daughter by election campaign coup, a political coup. The presidential
elections, which turned out to be a great illegal rigging with the interference
of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), laid bare her sinister ambition for
the power and her disposition of taking it as her father had done in the past.
After
taking office, Park Geun Hye’s disgraceful behaviours in establishing and
ruling government as well as administrating politics remind everyone of her
father. Park Chung Hee had been a despotic autocrat in his 18-year ruling
career, and, the current south Korean president is following in his wake. She
is restoring to oppressive means and mechanisms that had existed in her
father’s ruling period, and has placed on important posts in the government the
leftovers from the Yushin days and their descendants. She is high-handed and
self-opinionated in political administration, and is heedless of Cabinet
ministers in implementing policies, thus causing trouble in state affairs.
She
has brought about an era of people’s misfortune, instead of an “era of people’s
happiness,” which she promised, and a dark era of fascism, resembling her
father’s dictatorship. She has set on the road of “hunting” political
opponents, wielding the National Security Law. She has clamped down on the opposition
parties and progressive forces that demand justice, democracy, reunification
and the right to existence by revoking the NSL. Not only workers and peasants
but also political figures, media people and religionists could not escape her
clutches of oppression.
Her
father had fixed it as a state policy to expose pro-communist elements, and she
has put forward the wiping out of pro-north elements and system defence as
state policies. To this end, she is sweeping the whole south Korea with the
“chase hunting of pro-north elements,” reminding everybody of “witch-hunt”
prevalent in the mediaeval ages. Participants in peaceful rallies and
demonstrations sponsored by United Progressive Party, Democratic Party, Trade
Union of Teachers, Confederation of Democratic Trade Unions and other
legitimate political parties and public organizations, have been attacked by
water cannons and tear-gas bombs.
South
Korean media and even foreign media, greatly shocked by Park Geun Hye’s
administration, are criticizing that “an era of barbarism has arrived” and “she
is leading south Korea to the era of Park Chung Hee dictatorship.”
REVIVAL OF
DICTATORSHIP ERA
Now
the world has clearly understood why Park Geun Hye has clamoured so
boisterously about the political restoration of her father. Her true intention
is to revive the Yushin order.
The
first thing anybody brings into relation with Park Chung Hee’s Yushin order is
the “New Village Movement.”
During
his rule Park Chung Hee initiated the “New Village Movement” on the pretext of
boosting up the declining rural community, but, in fact, it was geared to
shackling people more tightly to fascist dictatorship. This movement had thus
long been forsaken by south Koreans. The majority of respondents in a public
opinion poll said that the term “new village movement” conjures up “Yushin
dictatorship,” “a movement that harassed and persecuted people,” and “a
movement of plunder.” Contrary to these opinions, Park Geun Hye has embellished
that the movement constituted a “driving power that worked out miracles” and
“ideal of Yushin and action principle,” and asserted that the movement should
be developed to a pan-national movement and internationalized. South Korean
newspaper titled, Hangyore carried an article, criticizing that Park Geun Hye’s
argument was nothing but an anachronistic act that put the clock back.
Worse
still, history textbooks have been revised to beautify the May 16 military coup
by Park Chung Hee as a “revolution to put to right disorders” and a
“determination of national salvation.” There are attempts to praise Park Chung
Hee by naming after him a library, a park and even chopped noodles and boiled
rice in soup.
At
the instigation of Park Geun Hye the leftovers of the Yushin era are bustling
around, vociferously talking that “dictatorship is necessary” and “the days of
dictatorship were good.”
Mass
media lament the present reality that makes people hallucinate as if Park Chung
Hee had come back to life and been managing state affairs, saying, “Yushin
dictator Park Chung Hee has come out of his grave” and “Park Chung Hee, spectre
of Yushin, is being made an idol.”
UNAVOIDABLE FATE
What
causes greater anxiety among the international community is that Park Geun Hye
is restoring the conception of confrontation pertaining to Park Chung Hee’s
dictatorship.
Her
father became notorious by advocating “two Koreas” and having concrete walls of
permanent division built. Now she is driving the north-south relations to a
catastrophe by fully negating the inter-Korean declarations that won worldwide
support and welcome.
In
pursuant to her reckless confrontation policy against fellow countrymen, south
Korea is continuously conducting north-targeted nuclear war exercises together
with the United States, thus exposing the Korean peninsula and the rest of the
world to a danger of nuclear holocaust.
However,
it is obvious that her confrontation manoeuvres will be doomed to failure, like
her father had tasted the same bitter cup.
Today
south Korean people are demanding that the truth of illegal elections should be
found out and that Park Geun Hye, main culprit of destroying people’s
livelihood and democracy, should resign from office. Her fate is as perilous as
a light exposed to wind.
She
will meet the tragic end as her father did, because she is mimicking her father
as like as two peas in a pod.
KIM JONG UN PROVIDES FIELD
GUIDANCE TO CHONMA ELECTRICAL MACHINE PLANT
Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, first
secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), first chairman of the National
Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's
Army, provided field guidance to the Chonma Electrical Machine Plant.
After being briefed on the monument to the
field guidance given by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong
Un looked round the room for the education in the revolutionary history.
Looking at historic relics and mementoes with
great attention, he looked back with deep emotion on the proud path covered by
the plant under the care of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
This area where the plant is located and
various other places of the country are closely associated with the footprints
of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, he noted, adding: "Coming to my mind as I
have reached the entrance to the plant was the image of Kim Jong Il who visited
this plant several times including the period of the Arduous March, instilling
conviction of sure victory and optimism into its workers."
He highly appreciated the feats performed by
the workers of the plant, recalling that they have turned out in hearty
response to the instructions given by Kim Jong Il on the spot and successfully
carried out their production quotas despite manifold bottlenecks and
difficulties.
He underscored the need for the party members
and other workers of the plant to glorify the leadership feats of Kim Il Sung and
Kim Jong Il forever by increasing the production of efficient electrical
machines, always remembering the glorious tradition in which they have upheld
the WPK with increased production.
He went round different places of the plant to
learn about the production and set forth the tasks to be fulfilled for its
modernization.
Looking at the electrical machines produced by
the plant, he said that they are proving effective in reality and high in
demand. He praised its employees for waging a dynamic drive to overfulfill
their national economy plan, true to the party's intention.
He underscored the need to expand the capacity
of the plant and energetically step up the updating of the production processes
in order to supply cutting edge electrical machines to various sectors of the
national economy.
He gave an instruction to push ahead with the
work to consolidate the material and technical foundation of the plant in a big
way so that it may mass-produce multi-purpose electrical machines.
He underlined the need for the plant to put
the production processes on a CNC basis at higher level in order to ensure the
best quality of its all products to be favored by the users.
The development of new products, increase in
production and improvement of quality would be unthinkable apart from science
and technology, he said, calling for arranging well the room for disseminating
science and technology and paying deep attention to the work for steadily
raising the level of technical skills of the employees.
He told officials to successfully build not
only welfare and service facilities but also a hostel and cultural hall so that
the producers may work and enjoy a cultural and emotional life without any
inconvenience.
He promised to solve all the problems arising
in the work to expand the production capacity, update the production processes
and radically face-lift the plant.
He expressed great expectation and conviction
that the workers of the plant would face-lift it as required by the age of the
knowledge-based economy and as befitting a highly civilized socialist country
and successfully mass-produce modern electrical machines and thus make a
contribution to the cause of building a thriving nation.
He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jang
Jong Nam, Pyon In Son, Yun Tong Hyon, Pak Jong Chon and Hong Yong Chil.
