S. Korean regime comes to end -- Japanese newspaper

PYONGYANG, MARCH 5 (KCNA) -- A RECENT EDITION OF A JAPANESE NEWSPAPER, IN AN ARTICLE ANALYZING WHAT SOUTH KOREAN MEDIA AND PEOPLE HAD SAID, NOTED THAT KIM YOUNG SAM HAS BEEN STERNLY CRITICIZED BY THE PEOPLE AND THE SUPPORT RATE FOR HIM PLUMMETED TO TEN PERCENT WITH A YEAR REMAINING UNTIL HIS TERM EXPIRES. "IT IS THE VIEW OF THE SOUTH KOREAN MEDIA THAT THE KIM YOUNG SAM REGIME IS ALREADY AS GOOD AS A 'DEAD BODY' AND IT HAS COME TO AN END IN ACTUALITY," IT SAID. IN THIS REGARD RODONG SINMUN TODAY SAYS THE TRAITOR GOING AGAINST THE TREND OF THE TIME, ESTRANGED FROM THE PEOPLE, IS DESTINED TO BE PUNISHED BY HISTORY AND THE PEOPLE. IN A COMMENTARY THE DAILY CONTINUES: FOR FOUR YEARS SINCE HE CAME TO POWER, KIM YOUNG SAM HAS COMMITTED A LARGE NUMBER OF CRIMES AGAINST THE PEOPLE, ENGAGING IN TREACHEROUS AND FLUNKEYIST ACTS, FASCIST RULE, CONFRONTATION WITH THE NORTH, WAR PREPARATIONS AND ANTI- REUNIFICATION MOVES. ESPECIALLY, HIS GROUP, IN THE HOPE OF ENSURING THE SECURITY OF THE REGIME IN ITS REMAINING DAYS AND THEIR PERSONAL SAFETY AFTER THEIR RETIREMENT, RETROGRESSIVELY REVISED EVIL LAWS IN DEFIANCE OF STRONG PUBLIC OPPOSITION. THE HANBO INCIDENT, THE LARGEST-EVER POWER-BACKED LOAN SCANDAL, HAS FULLY REVEALED THEIR UGLY COLORS AS FASCIST TYRANTS AND VAMPIRES. WITH THE TRUTH BEHIND THE INCIDENT, IN WHICH KIM YOUNG SAM WAS INVOLVED, DISCLOSED, CONFIDENCE IN HIM HAS SLUMPED AND HE HAS LOST THE JUSTIFICATION TO REMAIN IN POWER. ONLY TOO NATURAL IS THE VIEW OF SOUTH KOREAN AND FOREIGN MEDIA THAT THE KIM YOUNG SAM REGIME HAS COME TO AN END.

Political prostitute doomed to destruction

PYONGYANG, MARCH 5 (KCNA) -- KIM YOUNG SAM OF SOUTH KOREA, A POLITICAL PROSTITUTE AND A JUDAS OF MODERN VERSION, BETRAYED HIS SAD AND PITIFUL FEELINGS IN A "STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE" ISSUED ON FEBRUARY 25 FOUR YEARS AFTER HE TOOK OFFICE. HIS "CIVILIAN" VEIL HAS NOW TURNED INTO A RAG. HE IS NOW WORRIED ABOUT HIS DESTINY WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE MORE MISERABLE THAN THE SUCCESSIVE PUPPET RULERS'. HE BEGAN HIS POLITICAL CAREER AS A RULING "LIBERAL MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY" IN 1954. AT THAT TIME, HE WORKED EXTRA HARD FOR THE ENACTMENT OF ANTI-NATIONAL, ANTI- REUNIFICATION LAWS WHICH ALLOWED THE TRAITOR SYNGMAN RHEE TO BECOME A "LIFETIME PRESIDENT". WHAT HE DID IN THE 18 YEARS OF THE PARK CHUNG HEE REGIME AND THE 13 YEARS OF THE CHUN DOO HWAN AND ROH TAE WOO REGIMES IS THAT HE HELPED HARASS THE PRO-DEMOCRACY FORCES, STYLING HIMSELF AS A "CHAMPION OF DEMOCRACY", AND PROLONGED THE U.S. IMPERIALISTS' COLONIAL RULE. HIS TEAMING WITH THE MILITARY FASCISTS IN 1990, WHICH MADE AN APPEARANCE OF THE "DEMOCRATIC LIBERAL PARTY", WAS THE CULMINATION OF THE POLITICAL PROSTITUTE'S TREACHERIES. HIS CRIMES HAVE SURPASSED BY FAR HIS PREDECESSORS'. HE HAS NOT ONLY EXTENDED THE ANTI-NATIONAL COLONIAL FASCIST RULE BY COVERING IT WITH A "CIVILIAN" VEIL BUT HAMPERED THE UNITY OF THE WHOLE NATION AND BUILT A HIGHER HURDLE IN THE WAY OF THE COUNTRY'S REUNIFICATION, A LONG- CHERISHED DESIRE OF THE NATION. THE HANBO INCIDENT WHICH HAS ROCKED SOUTH KOREA IS ONLY PART OF HIS ANTI-NATIONAL ACTS. SOUTH KOREAN SOCIETY HAS ALREADY DECLARED THE "CIVILIAN" REGIME RUINED. IT IS USELESS FOR THE TRAITOR TO TRY TO STAY ON UNTIL HIS TERM EXPIRES EARLY NEXT YEAR.

Japan must not gloat over UN Security Council Permanent seat

PYONGYANG, MARCH 5 (KCNA) -- JAPAN IS NOT QUALIFIED FOR A PERMANENT MEMBER OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL OF THE UNITED NATIONS. THE DPRK, A UN MEMBER STATE, CAN NEVER ALLOW SUCH AN UNSOUND COUNTRY AS JAPAN TO HOLD THE RESPONSIBLE POSITION OF THE UNITED NATIONS WHICH DISCUSSES IMPORTANT MATTERS OF THE WORLD. RODONG SINMUN SAYS THIS TODAY IN A SIGNED ARTICLE TITLED "JAPAN MUST NOT GLOAT OVER THE UN SECURITY COURITY PERMANENT SEAT". THE DAILY NOTES: JAPAN IS NOT TRUSTED FOR ITS UNCLEAR CONSCIENCE. JAPAN IS AVOIDING THE LIQUIDATION OF HER PAST. THE JAPANESE AUTHORITIES ARE TRYING TO JUSTIFY THE CRIMES OF AGGRESSION ON AND COLONIAL RULE OVER KOREA IN THE PAST FROM THE MILITARIST VIEWPOINT AND STANDPOINT AND INTEND NOT TO SETTLE ACCOUNTS FOR THEM. TO ALLOW JAPAN TO HOLD A PERMANENT SEAT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE TO INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE, PEACE AND DEMOCRACY. IT MEANS CONNIVING AT THE PAST CRIMES OF JAPAN, ENABLING JAPAN TO GLOSS OVER THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LIQUIDATION OF THE PAST AND ENCOURAGING JAPAN TO REPEAT THE HISTORY OF AGGRESSION. JAPAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE A PERMANENT SEAT UNTIL SHE RENOUNCES THE MILITARIST DREAM, LIQUIDATES THE PAST WRONGDOINGS AND SHOWS A TRUSTWORTHY ATTITUDE. JAPAN REGARDS IT NATURAL TO HOLD A PERMANENT SEAT UNDER THE PRETEXT OF THE LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT AND DONATION MONEY TO THE UNITED NATIONS. PERMANENT SEATS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOTED ACCORDING TO THE DEGREE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE UN OR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. JAPAN WOULD BE WELL-ADVISED TO CLEARLY SEE ITS POSITION AND THE TREND OF THE WORLD PUBLIC, ADMIT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PAST CRIMES AND HONESTLY LIQUIDATE THEM BEFORE DREAMING OF THE PRIVILEGE OF THE UNITED NATIONS.

NDFSK on Kim Young Sam's crimes

PYONGYANG, MARCH 5 (KCNA) -- THE PROPAGANDA DEPARTMENT OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC FRONT OF SOUTH KOREA (NDFSK) CENTRAL COMMITTEE RELEASED A STATEMENT ON FEB. 25 DISCLOSING THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY KIM YOUNG SAM, A POLITICAL PROSTITUTE AND KINGPIN OF IRREGULARITIES, IN HIS FOUR YEARS OF OFFICE, SEOUL-BASED RADIO VOICE OF NATIONAL SALVATION SAID. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS SINCE THE KIM YOUNG SAM DICTATORIAL REGIME MADE ITS APPEARANCE WITH A "CIVILIAN" VEIL, IT HAS RESORTED TO ANTI-DEMOCRACY, ANTI-NATION AND ANTI-REUNIFICATION POLICIES, RAPIDLY TURNING SOUTH KOREA INTO A THEATRE OF FASCISM AND CORRUPTION, A HOTBED OF PERMANENT NATIONAL DIVISION AND WAR AGAINST THE NORTH AND A MODEL OF COLONY, THE STATEMENT SAID, AND CONTINUED: KIM YOUNG SAM IS A RARE FASCIST WHO HAS DISTURBED DEMOCRACY. HE HAS RENEGED HIS PROMISE TO SETTLE THE PAST AND BETRAYED THE PEOPLE CALLING FOR THE INSTITUTIONAL BREAK WITH THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE CRIMES BY THE MILITARY REGIMES. THOUGH HE PLEDGED TO "ELIMINATE INTELLIGENCE POLITICS" AND "REVISE EVIL LAWS", HE HAS KEPT INTACT TYPICAL LEGACIES FROM THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP -- SUCH FASCIST LAWS AS "NATIONAL SECURITY LAW" AND "LAW ON THE AGENCY FOR NATIONAL SECURITY PLANNING" AND SUCH REPRESSIVE TOOLS AS "ANSP" AND THE "DEFENCE SECURITY COMMAND". HE IS MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ECONOMIC FAILURE AND CORRUPTION. HE PUT FORWARD VARIOUS "ECONOMIC MEASURES" INCLUDING A "100-DAY PLAN OF THE NEW ECONOMY" AND A "FIVE-YEAR PLAN OF THE NEW ECONOMY", BUT THEY HAVE BROUGHT THE SOUTH KOREAN ECONOMY DEEP INTO RUIN. WITH CALLS FOR "INTERNATIONALIZATION", "GLOBALIZATION", "INCREASED INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS" AND "REFORM", HE HAS WHOLLY OPENED DOMESTIC ECONOMIC MARKET AND LEFT MORE THAN 98 PERCENT OF INDUSTRY DEPENDENT ON FOREIGN MONOPOLY CAPITAL. IN 1993 WHEN KIM YOUNG SAM TOOK OFFICE SOUTH KOREA'S ORDINARY PAYMENT DEFICIT STOOD AT D1,560 MILLION. BUT IT HAS BEEN ON A STEADY INCREASE, REACHING D23.7 BILLION IN 1996, OR 2.3 TIMES THE 1995'S. THIS MADE SOUTH KOREA NO. 2 IN THE WORLD'S LIST. SOUTH KOREA'S FOREIGN DEBT, WHICH WAS D42.8 BILLION AT THE END OF 1992, SOARED TO MORE THAN D100 BILLION AS OF NOVEMBER 1996, PLACING SOUTH KOREA ABOVE ANY OTHER COUNTRIES IN FOREIGN DEBT. SINCE HE CAME TO POWER, KIM YOUNG SAM HAS PURSUED CONGLOMERATE-ORIENTED ECONOMIC POLICIES AND CORRUPT RULE. HE IS ALSO A HEINOUS SEPARATIST, WARMONGER, FLUNKEYIST AND TRAITOR. HE HAS TOTALLY BROKEN OFF AND FROZEN INTER-KOREAN RELATIONS, CALLING FOR DISCARDING THE "EMOTIONAL CONCEPTION OF UNIFICATION" AND REGARDING THE NORTH "NOT AS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN". AT A PRESS CONFERENCE HE CALLED 100 DAYS AFTER HE TOOK OFFICE, HE SAID, "WE CANNOT SHAKE HANDS WITH THE NORTH WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS". HE RESTARTED THE MILITARY EXERCISES "TEAM SPIRIT", WHICH HAD BEEN SUSPENDED IN THE PERIOD OF THE MILITARY REGIME, AND HAS ESCALATED WAR PREPARATIONS AND CONFRONTATION AGAINST THE NORTH. HE HAS ALSO STEADILY EXPANDED MILITARY EXPENDITURES FOR WAR PREPARATIONS AGAINST THE NORTH. SOUTH KOREA SET ASIDE 14,460 BILLION WON FOR THIS YEAR'S MILITARY SPENDINGS, OR NEARLY 1.5 TIMES INCREASE ABOVE 9,800 BILLION WON IN 1993. AND HE HAS PURCHASED LATEST-TYPE LETHAL WEAPONS AND INSISTED ON U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IN SOUTH KOREA AND THE U.S. "NUCLEAR UMBRELLA" AND "SECURITY COOPERATION". THE KIM YOUNG SAM REGIME HAS KEPT THE DOOR OPEN TO JAPAN NOT ONLY IN THE ECONOMIC DOMAIN BUT ALSO IN CULTURAL AND MILITARY ASPECTS, PROVIDING IT WITH FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR REINVASION. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS KIM YOUNG SAM HAS BROUGHT A TOTAL BANKRUPTCY TO THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, REUNIFICATION, DIPLOMATIC AND ALL OTHER DOMAINS AND MISFORTUNE TO THE PEOPLE. THE STATEMENT CALLED ON ALL THE SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE TO PLACE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FASCIST GROUP AND DEAL A HEAVY BLOW AT THEM.
