U.S. sings duet with s. Korea over "north Korea's threat"

PYONGYANG, MARCH 4 (KCNA) -- RODONG SINMUN TODAY BERATES THE U.S. HAWKS FOR SINGING IN TUNE WITH THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP OF SOUTH KOREA OVER THE NON-EXISTENT "THREAT FROM NORTH KOREA". IN A COMMENTARY THE DAILY SAYS THE SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY BOSSES HAVE STAGED VARIOUS KINDS OF MILITARY DRILLS INVOLVING THREE SERVICES ALMOST EVERY DAY, CLAMOURING ABOUT THE "NORTH'S SITUATION" AND ITS "POSSIBLE ATTACK". MEANWHILE, THE U.S. DEFENCE SECRETARY CHARGED THE NORTH WITH "POSSIBLE PROVOCATION" AT THE RECENTLY HELD SESSION OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THE WAR PREPARATIONS AND ANTI-NORTH CAMPAIGN BASED ON THE WORNOUT ALLEGATION ABOUT "THREAT FROM NORTH KOREA" ARE AIMED AT ALLEVIATING SOUTH KOREA'S POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONFUSION AND CRISIS AND KEEPING TENSION RUNNING HIGH IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA. BUT THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP AND THE U.S. HAWKS ARE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO TRY TO GET SOMETHING WITH SUCH A FICTION. WITH ANY PLOTS, FRANTIC CONFRONTATION AND WAR PREPARATIONS CAN THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP NEVER DECEIVE AWAKENED SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE AND GET OUT OF THE SERIOUS CRISIS. THE UNITED STATES MUST KNOW THAT ENCOURAGING THE SOUTH KOREAN PUPPETS TO ESCALATE CONFRONTATION WITH THE NORTH AND TENSION IN THE PENINSULA IS AS FOOLISH AN ACT AS LIFTING THE AXE ONLY TO CUT ONE'S OWN FOOT.

Vicious challenge

PYONGYANG, MARCH 4 (KCNA) -- THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP FORCIBLY ENFORCED FROM MARCH 1 THE LABOUR LAWS, THE EVIL LAWS WHICH HAD BEEN RAILROADED THROUGH PARLIAMENT, ACCORDING TO A REPORT. THIS FACT ELOQUENTLY PROVES THAT IN HIS RECENT "STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE", THE TRAITOR KIM YOUNG SAM MADE AN EMPTY PROMISE OF REAMENDMENT, SAYING THAT HE "FEELS DEEPLY REGRETTABLE" FOR THE REVISED LABOUR LAWS. AS WAS KNOWN, FIERCE ANTI-"GOVERNMENT" STRUGGLES AGAINST THE RETROGRESSIVELY AMENDED LABOUR LAWS WERE STAGED BY LABOUR UNIONS IN SOUTH KOREA FROM THE END OF LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS JOINED BY OTHER PUBLIC CIRCLES OF SOUTH KOREA AND EVEN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. ON TOP OF IT, THE HANBO INCIDENT OCCURED IN SOUTH KOREA THIS YEAR, DRIVING THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP INTO A TIGHT CORNER. HE RESORTED TO DECEPTIVE DOUBLE-DEALING TACTICS TO BRING THE "INCIDENT OF THE LABOUR LAWS" UNDER CONTROL, TALKING ABOUT "RULING-OPPOSITION SUMMIT MEETING". THAT IS WHY THE "EXTRAORDINARY NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEETING" BEGAN REAMENDING THE LABOUR LAWS AND THE TRAITOR KIM YOUNG SAM MADE AN "APOLOGY" FOR THE HANBO INCIDENT AND "INCIDENT OF LABOUR LAWS". HOWEVER, THE RULING-OPPOSITION NEGOTIATION HELD BY THE KIM YOUNG SAM GROUP AT THE PUPPET NATIONAL ASSEMBLY IN DEFIANCE OF DEMANDS OF THE LABOUR CIRCLE WAS A DECEPTIVE BURLESQUE TO GAIN TIME. THE PUPPETS, WHO HAD EMPLOYED A DELAYING TACTICS FOR MORE THAN TEN DAYS SINCE THE OPENING OF THE "EXTRAORDINARY MEETING OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY", SAID ON FEBRUARY 27 THAT THEY WOULD ENFORCE THE REVISED LABOUR LAWS FROM MARCH 1 IF THE LAWS WERE NOT REAMENDED WITHIN FEBRUARY. THIS IS A VICIOUS CHALLENGE TO THE LABOUR AND OTHER PUBLIC CIRCLES OF SOUTH KOREA AND A MOCKERY OF THE PUBLIC OPINION AT HOME AND ABROAD. ALL FACTS PROVE THAT DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTH KOREAN SOCIETY CANNOT BE DEBATED WHILE THE TRAITOR KIM YOUNG SAM IS IN POWER.

Great man and veneration

PYONGYANG, MARCH 4 (KCNA) -- A SOUTH KOREAN DISSIDENT, KIM HYON GYU, PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE ENTITLED "GREAT MAN AND VENERATION", ACCORDING TO THE SEOUL-BASED RADIO VOICE OF NATIONAL SALVATION. IN THE ARTICLE, THE AUTHOR WROTE THAT THE LEADER KIM JONG IL IS MOST DEEPLY REVERED AS THE SAVIOUR OF THE NATION'S DESTINY, THE LODESTAR OF NATIONAL REUNIFICATION AND THE SUN OF THE NATION FOR HIS GREAT AUGUST NAME, HONORARY TITLE, BRIGHT IMAGE, UNDYING EXPLOITS AND NOBLE VIRTUES. THE AUTHOR FURTHER SAID: THE LEADER KIM JONG IL WAS BORN AS THE SON OF THE GUERRILLA ARMY IN MT. PAEKTU, THE ANCESTRAL MOUNTAIN OF KOREA. FROM THE VERY MOMENT OF HIS BIRTH, HE WAS HIGHLY PRAISED AS THE LODESTAR AND THE SUN. NOWHERE IN THE WORLD CAN BE FOUND SUCH A GREAT MAN AS THE LEADER KIM JONG IL, WHO HAS BEEN LAUDED BY THE NATION AND IS IN THE LIMELIGHT OF THE WORLD. OUR NATION KNOWS NO GREATER NAME, MORE BRILLIANT TITLE AND MORE DISTINGUISHED FAME THAN THE AUGUST NAME OF THE SUN. REFERRING TO THE OUTSTANDING POLITICAL LEADERSHIP AND GREAT DIGNITY OF THE LEADER KIM JONG IL, THE AUTHOR SAID: THE PEOPLE HAVE DEEPLY REVERED HIM AS THE EXPLOITS PERFORMED BY THE LEADER KIM JONG IL ARE GREAT. THE MORE THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE GREATNESS OF THE LEADER KIM JONG IL, THE SUN, THE MORE ARDENT THEIR REVERENCE FOR HIM HAVE BECOME, THEIR HEARTS BURNING WITH LONGING FOR HIM. INDEED, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY WANT TO SEE THE GREAT IMAGE, BEAMING FACE OF THE LEADER EVEN ONE TIME. "LET US FOLLOW AND UPHOLD THE LEADER KIM JONG IL". THIS IS AN IMMUTABLE MOTTO LEFT BY THE HISTORY OF THE SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE COVERED THE THORNY PATH OF DIVISION AND FASCISM, SINGING A SONG IN PRAISE OF THE SUN.
