Unreasonable Action of NA Speaker Flailed

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The Bar Association of south Korea condemned Speaker of the "National Assembly" Pak Kwan Yong for failing to vote on the "motion on the impeachment against the president" at the "National Assembly", according to the south Korean MBC. The organization asserted that his taking the chair all the time during a roll call on the motion on the impeachment indicates his refusal to vote by himself, which is clearly a violation of the "National Assembly Law".
    Accordingly, the organization said, the Constitutional Court should strictly examine this problem as well as the absence of discussion on pros and cons concerning the motion.

Written Warning to U.S.

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The Headquarters of the Movement for the General Election to Judge the Old Politics on Behalf of the June 15 Era reportedly made public a written warning addressed to the U.S. on March 18. The written warning said that the U.S. egged the Grand National Party and the Democratic Party of south Korea on to pass the "motion on the impeachment against the president" through the "National Assembly" and let its press media and confidence assessment organs back the passage of the motion.
    ĦĦAll the facts show that the U.S. is chiefly to blame for the political coup, the written warning said, and stressed: The U.S. is now hatching up the plots of the second and third stages for a constitutional amendment and delay of the general election and conducting secret operations with a war in mind.
    ĦĦThe hegemonic policy of the U.S placing strength above anything else has entered the road of ruin, the written warning noted, stressing: If the U.S. does not lend an ear to our warning, assuming a haughty attitude, it will face a fierce resistance of the people.

No Other Country But DPRK Deals Blow to U.S., Says U.S. Public Figure

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- John Paul Cupp, chairman of the U.S. Group for the Study of Songun Politics, in an article headlined "Developing countries have the right to possess weapons of mass destruction" dedicated to Internet homepage on March 10 said that no other country but the DPRK deals a heroic and principled blow to the U.S. He went on:
    The developing countries have the right to possess weapons of mass destruction. If Iraq had had weapons of mass destruction as a deterrent, it would not have been as it is.
    Thanks to the Juche philosophy reflecting the real nature of human being most correctly the DPRK is demonstrating its might as a country which strikes terror into the hearts of modern plunderers despite the bisected nation.
    We should look with a sense of gratitude at the army and people of heroic Korea who control Bush and Rumsfeld with arms. We should not slander the DPRK but defend its principled stand regarding the nuclear issue.
    We should not sling mud at the clearly defensive stand of the DPRK but demand that the U.S. sign a DPRK-U.S. nonaggression treaty, pull its troops out of south Korea and withdraw its sanctions from the DPRK.

People's Power Consolidated under Banner of Songun

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The DPRK's people's power is an invincible people's power as it is guided by the Songun idea and pursues Songun politics on the basis of the unity of the Songun revolution.. The solidity and vitality of the people's power in the Songun era lie in that it is guided by the Juche-oriented idea of Songun.
    Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    Regarding the military affairs as the most important affairs of the state, the people's power of the DPRK has firmly consolidated the strength of the People's Army, preserved and ensured the position of the popular masses as the master of the power, raised the leading role of the army and encouraged the whole country and all the people to follow its example, thereby .remarkably enhancing their responsibility and role as the master of the power.

    It is pushing forward every work with its pluck according to its resolution in the interests of the Korean revolution, guided by the idea and conviction of the people, holding aloft the banner of independence despite any complicated and tense situation..
    The solidity and vitality of the people's power also lie in that it considers the single-hearted unity of the whole party and the entire army and all the people around the headquarters of the revolution as its social and political base and the Songun policy as the basic political mode of the state.
    Kim Jong Il, the great illustrious commander of Songun, is the centre of the single-hearted unity and the invincible Songun idea is its ideological basis. The relations among Kim Jong Il, the army and the people are those among revolutionary comrades in the era of Songun..

There is the state political system whereby importance is attached to national defence, a revolutionary discipline and order the kind of which can be noticed in the army are prevailing throughout the society and the foundation of the society has been firmly consolidated thanks to the unity of the army and people in thinking and fighting spirit. The line of economic construction in the Songun era which calls for giving priority to the development of the national defence industry while simultaneously developing light-industry and agriculture is being implemented to the letter.

Spanish Organisation Issues Statement

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The Association for Friendship with the Korean People in Spain issued a statement on March 15 after Mongolian organizations on February 16 called upon organizations for friendship and solidarity with the Korean people in the world to glorify forever the exploits of the three generals of Mt. Paektu. The statement called for a meeting in the area of the secret camp on Mt. Paektu in 2005 marking the 60th anniversaries of the Workers' Party of Korea and the liberation of Korea to praise the three generals of Mt. Paektu and build a monument to the greatness of the three generals in the area.
    Noting that the association would wage energetic activities supporting the functions to be held in response to the appeal made by Mongolia, it said: From this day we will begin preparations for the functions to be held in the area of the secret camp of Mt.Paektu in 2005.

U.S. Warmongers' Anti-DPRK War Moves under Fire

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Kim Hyong Jik University of Education and the March 26 Factory held meetings yesterday to bitterly denounce the U.S. warmongers' war maneuvers against the DPRK. At Kim Hyong Jik University of Education speakers said that the RSOI and Foal Eagle joint military exercises are an extremely adventurous war provocation aimed to make a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK. They condemned the U.S. and the south Korean bellicose elements for staging the frantic war racket under the pretext of a prompt reaction to "emergency" on the Korean peninsula.
    The United States launched the large-scale war maneuvers against the DPRK in south Korea as soon as the six-way talks on the nuclear issue closed, which evidently proves that though it is loudmouthed about "dialogue" and "peace", it is actually trying to swallow up the DPRK by force of arms, they noted.
    They vehemently denounced the joint military exercises staged by the U.S. and its followers as an intolerable military provocation against the DPRK and a vicious challenge to the desire of the whole Korean nation and the world peace-loving people for dEtente and peace on the Korean peninsula.
    At the March 26 Factory speakers said it is as clear as noonday where and how the war maneuvers would turn as it is being launched at a time when a political confusion and social unrest are prevailing in south Korea in the wake of the passage of the "motion on impeachment against the president" through the "National Assembly."
    Noting that the grave situation today requires the Korean working class to take firm hold on rifles together with hammers, they called for bringing about an innovative leap in production in the spirit of smashing the U.S. imperialist enemies while thoroughly arming themselves with the Party's idea of attaching priority to arms and devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution.

Japan's Frantic Moves for Overseas Aggression Blasted

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The Japanese authorities are now getting evermore undisguised in their moves to adopt seven bills related to emergency and to promote the Japan Defence Agency to a "ministry". These are very serious developments as they are frantic moves of Japan to emerge a military giant and realize its overseas expansion. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    The Japanese reactionaries' move to promote the agency to a ministry is aimed to set up an official state military machine in a bid to more successfully guarantee their moves for overseas expansion and provide the Japanese militarist armed forces with legal nature and position as regular armed forces and thus round off their preparations for military aggression overseas. The seven bills related to emergency approved by the Japanese government are designed to perfect the judicial system for war in a bid to legally rush headlong into overseas aggression.
    The passage of the above-said bills through the Diet along with three other bills on emergency would mean the adoption of a perfect legislation on emergency. Then, the "peace constitution" under which Japan has professed to be a "peace-loving state" since the end of the war will remain in name only and Japan will be free to conduct overseas military operations, unhindered, under the legal and institutional system as it did during the Japanese imperialists' war of continental aggression in the past. Herein lies the criminal and dangerous nature of their moves to adopt the bills. The Korean peninsula is the first target of the Japanese reactionaries' overseas aggression. They are set to begin their operations to conquer Asia and the world by reinvading Korea as they did in the past.
    The people advocating independence and peace should remain highly vigilant against Japan's moves for aggression overseas and positively struggle to frustrate them.

U.S. Neo-conservatism Assailed

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The Korean Central News Agency released a lengthy article titled "U.S. neo-conservatism is fascism." The article says:
    U.S. neo-conservatism is a reactionary political trend as it calls for converting the whole world into a U.S.-dominated free world of American style.
    The assertion of neo-conservatives is based on their sophism about "globalism" that the U.S. should have the status of the "united states of the world" because its life-style is most advantageous in the world.
    The U.S. sustained defeats in the Korean and Vietnamese wars and the capitalist world underwent overall crisis including oil crisis early in the 1970s. Neo-conservatism, a bourgeois political trend advocating a more Right and conservative policy, raised its head in the capitalist countries including the U.S. in the latter half of the decade against the above-mentioned backdrop.
    Neo-conservatism in the U.S. was clearly reflected in the domestic and foreign policies pursued by the Reagan Administration that took office in the 1980s.
    When socialism collapsed in the Soviet Union and East European countries and the Cold War came to an end early in the 1990s, the U.S. imperialists had no longer the justification to cite "threat from communism", a pretext they had used to meet their essential requirements for aggression and war. Multi-polarization became an irresistible trend of the times in the international arena. Much upset by this development and obsessed by the megalomaniacal illusion about strength, the U.S. imperialists encouraged neo-conservatives to vociferously clamor for building a U.S.-dominated uni-polar world.
    Those wars fought by the U.S. in the 21st century under the pretext of combating terrorism reflect its policy of "neo-conservatism" calling for realizing globalization of American style with strength.
    Neo-conservatives made such wild remarks as an "axis of evil" while advocating the Bush doctrine that "you are either our friend or our enemy." They adopted the logic of "preemptive attack" as a mainstay of their national security strategy in the 21st century and launched Afghan and Iraqi wars without any justifiable pretext. They even dubbed operations "indomitable freedom" and "freedom in Iraq" openly disclosing the true nature of those "wars on terrorism" aimed to realize their neo-conservatism. Rumsfeld asserted that the U.S. was fighting a war of ideas, a war on terrorism.
    The logic of preemptive attack set out by the neo-conservatives, too, is premised on conducting false propaganda to create hallucination about "threat" from someone and fear of the strength of the U.S. and attain its aim of preemptive attack with ease.
    This clearly represents the logic of elite that served as a theoretical foundation of fascism pursued by Hitler.
    The U.S. imperialists' more zealous pursuance of aggression, war and overseas expansion against the desire of humankind would only get them to nowhere but unilateralism. That's why neo-conservatives openly assert that the U.S. should be a unilateral state in the world irrespective of its role there.
    Their reckless arms buildup, war policies and unilateralism have brought irrevocably catastrophic consequences to the U.S.
    The world bitterly denounces neo-conservatives in the U.S. as barbarians in the modern times as they put Hitler fascists into the shade in their bellicose, cruel and ferocious nature.
    American-style internationalism advocated by the neo-conservatives is rendering the U.S. further isolated in the international arena while causing unprecedented caprice in international relations.
    Drawing close is the day neo-conservatism will be thrown into the dumping ground of history along with its defeat in the "war on terrorism" just as Hitler fascism met destruction along with its defeat in the Second World War.
    Neither U.S. imperialists' logic of strength nor their "strategy of peaceful transition" will work on the DPRK as it is led by Kim Jong Il, illustrious commander born of Mt. Paektu, and has the great Songun politics and the single-hearted unity more powerful than any nuclear weapon.
    The U.S. does not yet know about the DPRK. This is its tragedy.
    Neo-conservative warhawks' desperate moves to stifle the DPRK, obsessed by their day-dream, will only precipitate their destruction.

NDFSK Calls for Turning Out in Struggle against "Motion on Impeachment"

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the National Democratic Front of South Korea in an appeal on the situation on March 22 called for turning out as one in the struggle against the "motion on impeachment against the president" to give the pro-U.S. conservative forces the finishing stroke and bring a new policy, new system and new life. The appeal termed the passage of the "motion on impeachment against the president" through the "National Assembly" an organized political rebellion of the pro-U.S. conservative forces aimed to obliterate the pro-reunification democratic forces, block the process of the democratization and revive the dark age of the fascist dictatorship and a desperate writhe of the anti-democracy, anti-reunification forces challenging the trend of the times toward democratization and the independent reunification.
    The appeal said:
    All the people should rise up as one in the struggle to nullify the illegal "motion on impeachment" to the end, dissolve the 16th -term "National Assembly," a criminal NA, and disorganize the conservative opposition parties, responsible for the situation created in the wake of the passage of the motion.
    The passage of the motion through the "NA" is a joint work of the master and its stooge produced according to the scenario of Washington to check the people's tendency to achieve independent reunification against the U.S. growing after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration and orchestrate the pro-U.S. separatists' regime.
    The appeal called upon all the people to resolutely smash the high-handed practices of the U.S. interfering in the internal affairs of south Korea with the situation created in the wake of the passage of the "motion on impeachment" as an opportunity and scathingly punish the forces responsible for the situation who brought today's disorder and catastrophe in the upcoming "general election" of the 17th-term NA.

Staunch Struggle against Outsiders Called for

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Papers today dedicate articles to the 40th anniversary of the March 24 struggle waged by south Korean youth, students and people, expressing support to the south Korean people in their struggle against outside forces. An article of Rodong Sinmun says that the March 24 struggle was sparked off by the struggle of students of Seoul National University against the projected criminal talks between sycophantic traitors and the Japanese reactionaries. It was a just and patriotic struggle to put an end to the outsiders' aggression and intervention and the fascist dictatorship and achieve national reunification, the article says, and goes on:
    This struggle dealt a telling blow at the U.S. and Japanese imperialists and pro-U.S. and pro-Japanese traitors and recorded a brilliant page in the history of the south Korean people's struggle for independence against outsiders and for democracy against fascism.
    The south Korean people's desire to live in an independent and democratic new society in a reunified country, free from foreign domination, intervention and fascism, has not yet come true.
    Today the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its anti- reunification moves have reached their height. The U.S. is working hard with blood-shot eyes to bring a holocaust of a nuclear war to the Korean nation while hatching a plot to stifle the DPRK by force under the pretext of the nuclear issue between the two countries. The U.S. is hell-bent on the moves to bar the inter-Korean relations from favorably developing in the basic spirit of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and drop a check-bar on the Koreans' movement for independent reunification. These constitute a serious challenge to the cause of national reunification The Japanese reactionaries are keen to realize their anachronistic ambition to stage a comeback to Korea, taking advantage of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK. Those sycophantic traitors in south Korea are zealously supporting the U.S. imperialists in their efforts to carry out their strategy to dominate Korea and the Japanese reactionaries in their moves for reinvasion. All this teaches a serious lesson that a new reunified country, independent and democratic, craved for by those participants in the March 24 struggle can never be built unless the U.S. and Japanese imperialists' criminal moves to launch a war of aggression against the DPRK are foiled in south Korea and a struggle is waged against the sycophantic traitors.
    Minju Joson says that a key to winning a victory in the struggle for independence against outsiders is for all members of the nation to achieve an unbreakable unity under the banner of the Korean nation-first spirit.

DPRK Boasts of Excellent Education System

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Fifty-five years have passed since the campaign against illiteracy was wound up successfully in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Just after the liberation of the country in 1945, the situation of education was very poor in the country, affected by the Japanese imperialists' policy of obliterating culture of the colonial nation.
    Eighty percent of the population were illiterates, some 2.3 million of them being adults. There was no university in the country at that time.
    Every year more than 400,000 children of school age could not go to school.
    It was an urgent issue in liberated Korea to abolish the Japanese imperialists' educational policy for colonial slavery and establish a popular and democratic education system.
    Under the wise leadership of President Kim Il Sung, the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK Government successfully carried out the tasks for democratic education in only one year and launched a nationwide campaign to wipe out illiteracy in the country until March Juche 38 (1949).
    After Kim Il Sung University, the first university of the country, made its appearance in October 1946, some ten universities and scores of technical colleges were set up in two or three years.
    The universal compulsory primary education system was introduced in the country in 1956, the universal compulsory secondary education system in 1958, the universal free education system in 1959 and the universal compulsory eleven-year education system in 1975.
    The school education system ranging from preschool education to high education, and the social education system have been established on a regular basis in the country.
    Millions of pupils and students are studying at schools at all levels built all over the country, free of charge.
    A large number of students are preparing themselves in political, ideological, scientific and technical aspects at hundreds of universities every year.

Japanese Reactionaries' Anti-DPRK Moves Slammed

     Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- All the members of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea will mete out a merciless punishment to Japan to give vent to their pent-up grudge and revenge if it pounces upon Korea again with arms of aggression. A spokesman for the Central Committee of the federation said this in a statement issued to the press on March 24, the 40th anniversary of the March 24 struggle against the criminal talks held between south Korea and Japan in south Korea under the manipulation of the U.S. imperialists.
    The struggle helps harden the Korean nation's spirit of fighting against Japan, he said, and went on:
    The March 24 struggle waged by the south Korean youth, students and people against the treacherous diplomacy submissive to Japan was a righteous struggle to frustrate the Japanese militarist ambition for reinvasion of Korea and defend the dignity and interests of the Korean nation.
    More than half a century has passed since the defeat of Japanese imperialism but the Japanese reactionaries, pursuant to the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, are now continuing to visit the "Yasukuni Shrine", recalling the militarist soul in wanton violation of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration, and seeking to impose economic sanctions and blockade upon the DPRK, talking nonsense that Tok Islet which belongs to Korea is part of the Japanese territory. We can never remain a passive onlooker to such anti-DPRK moves of the Japanese reactionaries.

RPDC: actos de denuncia a las maquinaciones belicas de EE.UU.

     Pyongyang, 24 de marzo (ATCC) -- El Instituto Superior Pedagogico Kim Hyong Jik y la Fabrica 26 de Marzo efectuaron el dia 23 respectivamente los actos para denunciar severamente las maquinaciones de guerra de los belicistas yanquis contra la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea. En el acto del plantel docente, los oradores senalaron que los maniacos de guerra de EE.UU. y del Sur de Corea despliegan el frenetico "ejercicio combinado de?refuerzo para el tiempo de guerra" y el simulacro "Aguilucho" bajo el pretexto de la reaccion rapida frente al "tiempo de emergencia" en la Peninsula Coreana y subrayaron que tal alboroto es una aventurera maquinacion de provocacion de guerra para dar el "primer ataque nuclear" a la RPDC.
    Tan pronto como terminaron las conversaciones a 6 partes con respecto al problema nuclear, los gringos desarrollan en el Sur de Corea tales ejercicios belicos contra el Norte, lo cual demuestra a las claras que este pais americano habla del "dialogo" y la "paz", pero, practicamente, intenta perjudicarla con la fuerza, dijeron ellos.
    Condenaron en tono agudo tales simulacros calificandolos de una imperdonable provocacion militar a la RPDC y de un desafio a la aspiracion de toda la nacion coreana y los demas pueblos del mundo amantes de la paz que desean el alivio de tension y la paz en la Peninsula Coreana.
    En el acto de la Fabrica, los oradores destacaron que hoy cuando en el Sur de Corea se creo un gran caos politico y reina la inquietud social debido al incidente de "denuncia al presidente", el objetivo de dichos ejercicios de guerra es claro para todos.
    Apuntaron que la grave situacion de hoy demanda que los obreros de Corea tomen mas firmemente el fusil junto con el martillo y anadieron que deben armarse cabalmente con la idea del Partido de dar importancia a los asuntos militares, defender a costa de la vida la Direccion de la Revolucion y registrar un gran auge en la produccion con el sentimiento de aniquilar a los enemigos yanquis.

Sur de Corea: denuncia acto injusto del "presidente de Parlamento"

     Pyongyang, 24 de marzo (ATCC) -- Segun la radio MBC del Sur de Corea, la Asociacion de Abogados Surcoreanos condeno a Pak Kwan Yong, "presidente de la Asamblea Nacional" quien no voto al decidir por votacion el "proyecto de denuncia al presidente" en la "A.N.". Durante la votacion del "proyecto de denuncia", Pak permanecio sentado en su escano presidencial y por lo tanto, parece que "no ha votado personalmente", lo cual es una evidente violacion de la "ley parlamentaria", senala la entidad y continua:
    Por eso, la Corte de Constitucion debe investigar rigidamente este caso junto con el de no haber discutido el pro y la contra del "proyecto de denuncia".
