U.S. Arms Buildup in S. Korea Flailed

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- The United States is massively shipping various type sophisticated combat equipment into south Korea. This proves that though the U.S. is talking a lot about dialogue and negotiation it is seeking an ulterior motive behind the scene. Minju Joson Sunday says this in a signed commentary. It continues: It is the U.S. ulterior intention to seek a military solution to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. as it did in Afghanistan and Iraq.
    After making the outbreak of a war on the Korean peninsula a fait accompli, the U.S. is now relocating its main forces for aggression in south Korea including its 2nd Infantry Division to areas south of the River Han and working hard to turn all its forces present in S. Korea into a "Northeast Asian regional force" targeted against the DPRK and countries around the Korean peninsula in the future.
    The U.S. loud-mouthed "resumption of the six-way talks" is nothing but hypocrisy and trick to cover up its intention to swallow up the DPRK by force.
    This being a hard reality, the DPRK feels no need to hesitate but will take all possible measures for its self-defence. The U.S. policy to stifle the DPRK based on its military pressure or threat would only push the situation to a catastrophic phase it warns.

KCNA Slams Japan's Dangerous Move to Revive Militarism

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- The chief executive of Japan reportedly visited the "Yasukuni shrine" on Jan. 1 and paid "homage" to the departed soul of militarists. This was his fourth visit to the shrine since his assumption of office in April 2001. This indicates that he is persistently pursuing his invariable reactionary and ultra-right militarist policy.
    As already known, entombed in the shrine are millions of those who died in the aggressive wars from the time before the sino-Japanese war to the Second World War.
    Interred on the altar of the shrine are remains of special-class war criminals including Hideki Tojo, the boss of Japanese militarism who ignited and commanded the Pacific war. Displayed in its court are artillery pieces, torpedoes and other weapons used by Japanese imperialists during the aggressive wars. Exhibitions are taking place in the hall one after another to agitate a war.
    It is not hard to guess what is sought by visits to the shrine aimed to embellish the blood-stained past history of aggression.
    The chief executive of Japan at a press conference held on October 8 last year disclosed his intention to continue to visit the shrine, saying that it was not for the sake of militarism but it was quite natural.
    His visit to the shrine on the New Year's day was a revelation of Japan's reckless attempt to step up in real earnest the moves for its conversion into a military power and overseas expansion this year.
    By putting visits to the shrine on a legitimate and regular basis the Japanese reactionaries seek to lay an ideological foundation for Japan's militarization and create an atmosphere more favorable for overseas aggression.
    They are rushing headlong into reinvasion, far from honestly redeeming Japan's past wrongdoings. This is a challenge to the justice and conscience of the Korean and other people of the world and a grave perfidy to the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration.
    The Korean people will never remain a passive onlooker to the criminal moves escalated by the Japanese reactionaries to revive militarism and realize overseas expansion, refusing to liquidate Japan's past, quite contrary to the spirit of the Pyongyang declaration.

Functions against U.S. and Troop Dispatch Held in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- Civic and public organizations of south Korea reportedly held functions against the United States and troop dispatch to Iraq in Seoul on the evening of Dec. 31 last year with at least 3,000 workers, youth and students attending. A rally for seeing the year out began under the sponsorship of the People's Action against Troop Dispatch to denounce the "government's" decision on troop dispatch, check the passage of the motion on troop dispatch through the National Assembly and oppose the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
    At the rally speakers denounced the U.S. war of aggression against Iraq and the "government's" decision on troop dispatch, calling upon all the people to turn out in the struggle to check the troop dispatch at the cost of their lives.
    A resolution was published at the rally.
    Then followed a candlelight rally for seeing the year out for independence and peace together with the people under the sponsorship of the All-People Measure Committee for the Death of Schoolgirls.
    Speakers stressed the need to demonstrate the spirit of independence on the strength of candlelights so that the United States may stop lording it over south Korea. They called for waging, to begin with, a powerful struggle to check the passage of the motion on troop dispatch through the "National Assembly".
    A New year's message to the people was read out at the rally.
    Though we see the year out, we will not stop even a moment the candlelight march for defending independence and peace so as to terminate the unequal south Korea-U.S. relations causing trouble to us, foil the plan for troop dispatch to Iraq aimed to drive young people to an unjust war and prevent the U.S. from creating a constant danger of war on the Korean peninsula, the message noted.
    At the end of the rally an art performance was given by youth and students.
    The participants in the functions tore the Stars and Stripes to pieces, shouting "No to U.S." and "No to Troop Dispatch", and danced a train dance to the tune of a song "Arirang of Victory"

"Revised Law on Assembly and Demonstration" Protested in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- South Korean civic and public organizations reportedly issued separate statements in protest against the passage of the "bill on the revision of the law on assembly and demonstration" through the "National Assembly" on December 29 last year. A joint statement was issued by 27 organizations including the Reunification Solidarity, the "National People's Solidarity", the "National Federation of Peasants Associations", the "National Federation of the Poor", the south Korean Federation of University Student Councils, the "National Council of Professors", the Anti-U.S. Women's Association, the Solidarity for Public Progress and the Buddhist Human Rights Committee.
    Assembly and demonstration are the only way for the people exposed to the threat to their existence to express their will, the statement said, denouncing the "National Assembly's" passage of the bill on the revision of the law as an unjust behavior.
    The revised law only increases the power of the police and abridges the people's freedom of assembly and demonstration, the statement said, stating "we cannot recognize the evil law full of poisonous articles infringing upon democracy and human rights".
    The (south) Korean Confederation of Trade Unions issued a statement titled "We strongly denounce the passage of the bill on the revision of the 'Law on Assembly and Demonstration' through the 'National Assembly'".
    The statement said that the retrogressive revision is, in a word, little short of banning assembly and demonstration, the democratic rights of the people. This decision of the "National Assembly" should be revoked without fail, it noted.

Kim Jong Il's Aphorism on Great National Unity Lauded

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- Those who aspire after great national unity become patriots and those who stand against it become traitors. This aphorism of leader Kim Jong Il is a valuable one as it encourages all Koreans in the north, the south and abroad to display patriotism and arouses them to the struggle for national reunification, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. The article continues:
    This aphorism gives most lucid answer to a question as to what is genuine patriotism and what one should do to be patriotic in the struggle to put an end to the tragic division of the nation and reunify the country. This also serves as unshakable guidelines in powerfully encouraging all the members of the nation in the sacred patriotic struggle for reunification.
    Kim Jong Il set forth the five-point policy of the great national unity true to President Kim Il Sung's idea and line of great national unity, thus providing the nation with the most important guidelines for achieving the cause of the great national unity to meet the requirements of the changing times and the specific conditions.
    Policies pursued by Kim Jong Il in realising the great national unity are the all-embracing and benevolent ones as he embraces and unites all those who value the soul of the nation and love the country and the nation irrespective of ideology, system, class, and social strata. Kim Jong Il leniently treats those who went amiss, betraying the nation in the past, if they, sincerely remorseful of their past wrongdoings, are willing to contribute to the cause of national reunification, and lets them join in the march for national reunification on the principle of not digging into their past. This warm humanity and patriotism of his serve as magnetic power encouraging all the Koreans to join the ranks of the great national unity.
    Kim Jong Il's idea and leadership serve as an inexhaustible source of guaranteeing the victory of the cause of great national unity, the cause of national reunification.

     Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- A congratulatory message to leader Kim Jong Il was adopted at a meeting held in Britain on December 18 on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of his assumption of the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army and the 86th birth anniversary of Kim Jong Suk, an anti-Japanese war hero.

C.C., NDFSK Publishes New Year's Message

     Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the National Democratic Front of South Korea (NDFSK) on Jan. 1 issued a New Year's message to the people, according to Internet site of Kuguk Jonson. This year the people are faced with an important task to open an epochal and decisive phase in the struggle for independence, democracy and reunification, the message said, and went on:
    This year all the people should intensify the struggle against the U.S. policy of colonial occupation and its interference in the internal affairs of south Korea and the U.S. brigandish pressure on the north and the U.S. nuclear war targeted against it and for the withdrawal of the U.S. troops.
    Now that the U.S. hysteric moves to mount a nuclear attack on the north and thus impose the disaster of a nuclear war upon all the fellow countrymen are carried into extremes the people from all walks of life should fully support and defend the Songun policy of the north that represents the dignity, wealth and destiny of the nation.
    The message called for uninterruptedly ferreting out those responsible for the illegal "presidential election" funds of the Grand National Party, a party of thieves, a Mafia party and a fascist party, through civic inspection activities and conducting a campaign for its dissolution with the forthcoming 17th-term "general election" as a momentum so as to hold it without the GNP's participation.
    It also called for not tolerating in the least the desperate anti-reunification moves of the United States and its followers to put a brake on the process of improving the inter-Korean relations while inciting inter-Korean confrontation but dealing a heavy blow at them in time and thereby making a signal advance in the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration.

Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Marked

     Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the 12th anniversary of the publication of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party".

    Kim Jong Il in the work made a wise analysis of the cause of the collapse of socialism in some countries and illumined the most correct way for socialism to make a long drive.

    His sagacity also lies in resolutely defending the main principle of socialism.
    The key point in building the internal force of the revolution is to prepare well the main force. Basing himself on a scientific analysis of the position and role of the Korean People's Army in the Songun era, Kim Jong Il put forward the KPA as the main force of the revolution.
    It is the revelation of the steadfast revolutionary principle maintained by Kim Jong Il that the army and people of Korea have won victory after victory in the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. confrontation even in the difficult days of the grim "Arduous March" and forced march.
    Our army and people will advance unswervingly along the road of Juche, the road of people-centered socialism pioneered by President Kim Il Sung and led by Kim Jong Il to victory, with the conviction and optimism that the ultimate victory is ours though our path is thorny.

    Ahora en que llega al extremo la locura nuclear de EE.UU. tendente a imponer a toda la nacion coreana una guerra nuclear, las masas populares de distintos sectores deben apoyar y defender por todos los medios la politica de Songun (priorizacion militar) del Norte de Corea, que es la dignidad, la riqueza y el destino de la nacion.

    No deben perdonar jamas las desesperadas maquinaciones anti-reunificacion de EE.UU. y sus fuerzas satelites que inculcan el enfrentamiento entre el Sur y el Norte de Corea e intentan obstaculizar el avance de las relaciones Sur-Norte sino deben dar a tiempo el fuerte golpe al respecto y registrar el avance trascendental en la ejecucion de la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio.
