KCNA Indicts Japan for Its Moves to Emerge Military Power

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The Korean Central News Agency on Friday released an indictment blasting the Japanese reactionaries' ever-more undisguised moves to turn Japan into a military giant.
    The indictment says:
    To turn Japan into a military giant is the policy goal of the Japanese authorities and their strategic line.
    Since its emergence the Abe cabinet has worked hard to perfect the legal groundwork for turning Japan into a military giant, talking about "departure from the postwar regime" and the "adoption of a new Constitution".
    In fact, the adoption of the "law on referendum" on May 14 provided Japan with a firm legal foundation for emerging a military power.
    The aim sought by the Abe cabinet in adopting the retrogressive revision of the Constitution as its political task is to convert Japan into a war state at any cost.
    The restructuring of state mechanism is one of the important tasks proposed by the Japanese authorities to convert the country into a military power.
    Japan upgraded the Defense Agency to the Ministry on January 9, thus securing a powerful means for developing the Japan "Self-Defense Forces" (SDF) into regular armed forces and acquiring the position of a military power. Afterwards, the Defense Ministry of Japan started overall reexamination of its mechanism.
    The establishment of an integral operational system whereby the commanding systems of the ground, maritime and air SDF are uniformly coordinated has been approved to coordinate the operational command over the armed forces.
    Japan is contemplating setting up a "national security council" of the Japanese version involving organizations in the fields of diplomacy, security and information, etc. in the wake of the creation of a "council to bolster information-gathering function" chaired by the chief cabinet secretary.
    Most noteworthy in the Japanese authorities' moves for turning Japan into a military power is the full conversion of the SDF into aggressor forces of offensive nature.
    They began equipping the SDF with ultra-modern war hardware which ensure high maneuverability, powerful striking force and increased operational capabilities on ground and in sea and air. These moves for an offensive purpose are being updated in all aspects and pushed forward at a final phase.
    The maritime force is their first thrust.
    The duty of the maritime SDF has been gradually shifted from "coastal defence" to carrying out the "strategy of ocean attack".
    Japan tops the world's list of anti-submarine and mine-sweeping and conventional submarine combat capabilities.
    Large-size prototype warships have been put on an offensive and IT basis with each passing day.
    Lurking behind the Japanese reactionaries' intensified moves to bolster its maritime SDF is a sinister intention to secure a powerful naval combat capacity and use it as a main springboard from which to launch a continental reinvasion just as they did in the last century.
    The air SDF has also been equipped with modern means as good as those of world military powers against the backdrop of the ever-increasing call for a qualitative edge.
    Japan is planning to introduce 100 U.S.-made F-22A fighters of the fourth generation from 2009 in a bid to secure longer-distance attack capacity. In the meantime, it also seeks to deploy Apache and AH-1 in a bid to be atop the anti-armor operational capability in Asia.
    The ground SDF has increased its maneuverability and firepower striking capacity while putting emphasis on coordinating operations in air and on ground. Its equipment are of special and diverse nature and wide in their operational sphere. Tanks and other vehicles are now being developed in the direction of cutting down their weight and boosting their performance, while maintaining a high degree of their mechanization so that they may be transferred and deployed in any operational theatre.
    The Japanese authorities' moves to stockpile strategic materiel should not be overlooked by the international community.
    The development of the latest military hardware to qualitatively bolster the SDF is in full swing.
    The above-said moves to turn Japan into a military power are being zealously supported by the right-wing foundations and major military industrial complexes.
    The SDF's military exercises are a preliminary war, a test war to "examine" the military power of Japan in the sky, ground and sea.
    The moves to turn Japan into a military power are, to all intents and purposes, dangerous actions to hold the military and technological edges, military hegemony for preemptive attacks and continental aggression.
    The Japanese authorities' above-mentioned reckless moves are driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war.
    The Abe cabinet intends to attain the ambition to stage a comeback to Korea through preemptive attacks, vociferating about "guarantee of security of Japan" and "military threat" from the DPRK.
    The Japan-U.S. joint missile attack system is also being rounded off.
    Espionage and plot-breeding operations against the DPRK are getting more pronounced.
    What should not go unnoticed is the fact that Japan began working out the "joint operation plan" stimulating "contingency" on the Korean Peninsula together with the U.S. from December last year.
    The drafting of the "joint operation plan," a more concrete version of "5055", a scenario for a war against the DPRK worked out by Japan and the U.S. in 2002, is expected to be finished by the coming autumn.
    Meanwhile, an increasing number of latest fighter planes and combat warships including nuclear-powered carriers are being forward-deployed in the western areas of Japan close to the Korean Peninsula.
    Discussions on "military sanctions" and "economic sanctions" against the DPRK are becoming hotter among the Japanese government authorities and heavyweights of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
    The Abe cabinet, militarism being a mode of its existence, is rushing headlong into turning Japan into a military power in a bid to realize at any cost the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere" its predecessors failed to do.
    Japan is a force of aggression and war that arouses the special vigilance of the international community.
    The world peace and security are now being threatened by Japan, a militarist state, which has emerged the biggest war force in the world next to the U.S.
    Japan's moves to emerge a military power will lead to an aggression against Korea and a war to conquer Asia and the rest of the world. Herein lies the danger of Japan's ever-more pronounced moves to emerge a military power.

Articles Praising Kim Jong Il Posted on Internet

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- Articles praising the greatness of Kim Jong Il were posted on Internet homepages run by the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration and the National Alliance for Democracy and Reunification in south Korea on June 23.
    Among them was the article entitled "Single-minded unity is the key of General Kim Jong Il to accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche."
    Single-minded unity serves as the most powerful strength guaranteeing the existence and development of the DPRK at present, the article said, adding: The core of its might is the greatness of Kim Jong Il and the Workers' Party of Korea and loyalty of all the people to the Party and the leader.

Crackdown upon Anti-FTA Struggle Assailed in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The All-People Movement Headquarters for Checking South Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement reportedly called a press conference in front of the Seoul Central District Court on June 25 in protest against the security authorities' suppression of its leading members.
    At the press conference speakers charged that the security authorities conducted an investigation into co-representatives of the headquarters, calling to account its struggle against the negotiations for the conclusion of the FTA, and are now seeking to detain them.
    Such outrage has been prompted by a sinister political intention to foil the all-people rally slated for June 29 and push ahead with the conclusion of the FTA at any cost, they said.
    It is illegal to obstruct a rally and a demonstration, they pointed out, urging the security authorities to stop at once their unreasonable suppression.
    They declared that they would surely make the rally for checking the conclusion of the FTA a success despite any crackdown.


Collection of Materials on Crimes Related to "Comfort Women" for Imperial Japanese Army Published

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The Institute for National Studies and the "Institute of the Volunteers' Corps" of south Korea reportedly brought out a collection of materials "We were sexual slaves for Japanese Soldiers" (English version) disclosing before the international community the truth of the crimes related to "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army.
    The three-volume collection in its preface said that the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army was a war crime premeditated and organized by the army and it reduced a large number of women to its sexual slaves, inflicting unbearable pain upon them. It called on all members of the international community to turn out in the struggle to achieve peace.
    The collection carried testimonies made by victims of the sexual slavery, testimonies and records of statements made by servicemen of the Imperial Japanese Army involved in the setting up of "comfort stations" and their operation, a clear proof that sexual slavery was a crime perpetrated by the army in a premeditated manner.
    It also deals with the remarks made by political heavyweights of Japan to conceal the above-mentioned crimes and activities staged by civic organizations of south Korea and Japan for a solution to the issue of "comfort women."
    It also edited recommendations, reports and texts of ruling made by such international organizations as the UN Sub-Committee on Human Rights, the International Lawyers' Association and Amnesty International, on the issue of "comfort women."


Songun Policy Lauded

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The originality and tremendous vitality of the Songun policy pursued by the Workers' Party of Korea are based on a new clarification made about the main force of the revolution, notes Rodong Sinmun Friday in a signed article.
    Explaining in detail that only a group which is more loyal to the cause of the Party and the leader and stronger in revolutionary spirit and the sense of organization and unity than any class and group involved in the revolution and which sets an example for other members of the revolutionary ranks to follow in thinking, faith and spiritual and moral traits can play the role of a main force of the revolution, the article goes on:
    Kim Jong Il, while providing energetic Songun revolutionary leadership for nearly half a century since the 1960s, clarified the law governing the development of the revolutionary cause that starts and advances thanks to the leading and pivotal role of the revolutionary army and, on this basis, opened up a new chapter of the socialist policy which calls for depending on the might of the revolutionary army. The idea and theory of Kim Jong Il that the arms guarantees peace and socialism and the military affairs are the most important national affair proceeded from the Juche-oriented point of view on the decisive role of the arms.
    The validity and vitality of the WPK's Songun policy based on the fresh elucidation of the main force of the revolution have been fully proved in the revolutionary practice.
    The Korean People's Army is the strong revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu fully prepared politically and ideologically and in military technique and the matchless revolutionary armed forces capable of decisively frustrating the imperialists' moves for aggression and firmly defending the country, the revolution and the socialist cause.
    The KPA's transparent spirit of devotedly defending the leader has become the steadfast faith and will of all the Korean people and its revolutionary comradeship served as a main source of the unbreakable single-minded unity of the society.
    The ardent trait of assisting the people displayed by the People's Army has remarkably encouraged the people's enthusiasm to assist the army and the unity of the army and people in thinking and fighting spirit have helped further augment the politico-ideological might of the Korean revolution, the foundation of the society, than ever before.
    The army and people are sharing weal and woe, united in thinking, will, destiny and the view on the future. This Songun revolutionary unity today guarantees great victory of the WPK's Songun policy and means the true picture of Songun Korea.


Mass Art Giving Victorious Confidence and Optimism

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The joint performances were given in Pyongyang recently by participants in the tenth contest of artistic groups of officers' wives of the Korean People's Army (KPA).
    The performances made a deep impression on the audience for their great vitality of the revolutionary soldier culture.
    The mass art of the DPRK has a long historical tradition. The contest of artistic groups of officers' wives of KPA came into being in the great Songun era.
    President Kim Il Sung penetrated deep into the role of musical art in arousing people to the revolutionary struggle in the early years of his revolutionary activities and established the brilliant tradition of mass art.
    The President created famous masterpieces including "Song of Korea", "Nostalgia", "Song of Anti-Japanese War", "Song of the Sea of Blood" and "Song of Ten-point Programme of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland" during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle. Art troupe members, with these songs, awakened the people in a revolutionary way and dynamically inspired them to the struggle against the Japanese imperialists.
    The various forms, contents and methods of the artistic performance held under the guidance of the President constituted the precious wherewithal for the development of the mass art after the liberation of the country.
    In the period of the hard-fought Fatherland Liberation War the servicepersons of the KPA inherited the traditions of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle made front-line musical instruments on battle heights and held artistic contests of servicepersons full of confidence in and optimism for the sure victory. In this course, they wrought military miracles unprecedented in the world history of wars.
    A brisk artistic agitation for increased production was conducted during the grand socialist construction as the anti-Japanese guerrillas did. It forcefully encouraged the working people to the revolution and construction, leap forward and innovation.
    In particular, the contest of artistic groups of officers' wives of the KPA, which made its appearance as a model of the revolutionary mass-based art on the initiative of Kim Jong Il, filled the whole society with the revolutionary optimism and emotion and became the main driving force for the Korean people to overcome the severe trials and break the bright dawn of the great, prosperous and powerful country.
    Today the servicepersons and people are striving hard to usher in the great heyday of the Songun Korea full of confidence in victory, loudly singing the revolutionary songs.


Flower Tending of Pyongyang Citizens

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The rich cultural and emotional life of the Pyongyang citizens is reflected in their flower tending.
    Those flowers are seen along Changgwang Street, Chollima Street, Pulgun Street, Thongil Street and other streets and by windows of apartment houses in Pyongyang.
    Kim Thaek Su in Tongsong-dong, Central District is called as "grandpa of flower house". He has cultivated more than 40 plants of some ten species.
    He told KCNA that he was happy to see buds opening flowers and the flower is fragrance of life.
    Kim Myong Hui residing in Kaeson-dong, Moranbong District is also tending over 20 kinds of flowers at her home.
    She noted that patriotism was cultivated in planting and tending even a flower plant and a tree, adding that she was striving to instill the love for the flowers into the minds of her children.
    Flower fanciers are transplanting their flower plants on roadsides and vacant lots, exchanging experience and flower seeds with each other on Sundays.

Myth of "Invincible Imperial Army" of Japan Smashed in Battle of Jiansanfeng

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- Seventy years have elapsed since the battle of Jiansanfeng, an important battle in the Korean people's history of the anti-Japanese armed struggle.
    The battle was of great significance; it consolidated the success of the victory in the battle of Pochonbo on June 4, 1937 which heralded the dawn of national liberation for the Korean people, smashed the myth about the "invincible imperial army" of Japan and widely demonstrated the might of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army.
    At that time, the Japanese army was hit hard in Kouyushan following the Pochonbo Battle. So it prepared a "great punitive operation" to recover its heavy defeat.
    In order to crush the enemy's desperate attempt, President Kim Il Sung held a meeting of the commanding personnel of the combined unit of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army and let them make active defence posture with assembled forces.
    Prior to the battle, he drew up the battle plan to wipe out the enemy on Jiansanfeng and told the commanding personnel that they should not be inveigled into the enemy's regular warfare tactics but positively apply the flexible guerrilla tactics of swiftly moving right and left by making use of forests.
    His superb tactics made the "punitive forces," which vociferated that they would annihilate the revolutionary army, suffer more than 1,500 casualties in the day-long battle.
    There were so many casualties that heads were cut off from the dead bodies, packed in sacks and wooden boxes to carry them on carts. From then on the expression "pumpkin head" spread among the people.
    Many legends lauding the superb tactics of the President were told among the people after the victorious battle of Jiansanfeng.

27th Congress of KDWU in Japan Held

   Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- The 27th congress of the Korean Democratic Women's Union in Japan was held at the Korean Hall in Tokyo on June 26.
    Present there were So Man Sul, chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), Jong Thae Mun, director of the General Affairs Department of the Central Standing Committee of Chongryon, and delegates selected from the women's union organizations at different levels.
    Introduced at the congress were messages of greetings to the congress from the Central Committee of the Korean Democratic Women's Union, different bodies of Chongryon, organizations in south Korea and Korean bodies abroad and organizations of Japan.
    So Man Sul in his address at the congress referred to the achievements made by the officials of the women's union for the last 3 years, calling on the women's union to preserve its characteristics and identity and conduct diverse activities with a main emphasis on the education of children and thus bring about big progress in the "movement to invite Koreans to come to the fold of Chongryon."
    His address was followed by a report on the work of the Central Standing Committee of the KDWU in Japan by Kim So Ja, chairwoman of its central standing committee, congratulatory speeches by the secretary general of the Japanese Women's Society for Solidarity with the Korean Women and the honorary chairperson of the Society for Supporting the Dissemination of Kimilsungia and Kimjongilia and speeches by delegates.
    A report on the above-said work, a proposal for revising the statute of the union and proposals on finance and budget were adopted at the congress.
    The congress elected Kang Chu Ryon chairwoman of the Central Standing Committee of the KDWU.
    A letter to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the congress.


Abe's Remarks Assailed by Chongryon

   Tokyo, June 27 (KNS-KCNA) -- Japanese Prime Minster Abe let loose reckless remarks groundlessly labeling the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) a "criminal organization" as part of Japan's frantic anti-DPRK, anti-Chongryon campaign. Infuriated by this, Chongryon officials strongly protested against them.
    Pak Chang Gil, chairman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Headquarters of Chongryon, accused the prime minister of unreasonably labeling the Chongryon organization as a "criminal organization" and setting in motion media to stoke the anti-DPRK, anti-Chongryon and anti-Korean sentiment in the Japanese society, adding that this is politically motivated terrorism unprecedented in history. He demanded Abe withdraw his reckless remarks as early as possible and make an apology for them and immediately stop the suppression and human rights abuses against Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan.
    Kim Pong Hyong, chairman of the Osaka Prefectural Headquarters of Chongryon, termed Abe's outbursts an expression of his crafty plot to negate the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration, incite anti-DPRK sentiment by hyping the "abduction issue" which had already found a solution, tarnish the image of Chongryon and tear Koreans in Japan off the Chongryon organization.
    Jang Thae Ho, chairman of the Fukushima Prefectural Headquarters of Chongryon, said that the Japanese government is under the obligation to protect the Koreans in Japan and guarantee Chongryon legitimate activities but is getting so reckless as to incriminate the Chongryon organization. This is an unpardonable behavior to build up public opinion favorable for fanning up bitterness and national chauvinism toward Koreans in Japan in a bid to bring down Chongryon, he noted.
    Ri Ju Hak, chairman of the Fukuoka Prefectural Headquarters of Chongryon, demanded Abe make a prompt apology for making extremely reckless remarks insulting and slandering Chongryon and the Japanese authorities fully guarantee the Koreans in Japan living and rights.

Rodong Sinmun argumenta nueva aclaracion sobre grueso de revolucion

   Pyongyang, 29 de junio (ATCC) -- La originalidad e ilimitada vitalidad de la politica de Songun (priorizacion militar) del Partido del Trabajo de Corea se basan en nueva aclaracion sobre el grueso de la revolucion.
    Asi senala el periodico Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual del dia 29 y continua:
    El grueso de la revolucion lo puede ser unicamente un colectivo, que es mas fiel a la causa del partido y el lider y mas revolucionario, organizado y unido que otras clases o agrupaciones participantes en la revolucion y que puede servir de modelo entre las filas revolucionarias en la idea, la conviccion y los rasgos espirituales y morales.
    El Dirigente Kim Jong Il, quien durante cerca de medio siglo desde la decada de 1960 dirigio incansablemente la revolucion del Songun, aclaro la legitimidad del desarrollo de la causa revolucionaria que se inicia y avanza por el papel protagonico y medular del ejercito revolucionario y basandose en esto, registro un nuevo capitulo de la politica socialista que se apoya en el poderio de este contingente.
    La idea y la teoria del Dirigente, de que el fusil garantiza la paz y el socialismo y los asuntos militares devienen el mas importante problema estatal, parten de la concepcion original sobre el papel decisivo de las fuerzas armadas.
    En la practica revolucionaria se manifestaron plenamente la justeza y la vitalidad de la politica de Songun del Partido del Trabajo de Corea basada en nueva aclaracion sobre el grueso de la revolucion.
    En efecto, el Ejercito Popular de Corea lo integran las invencibles fuerzas armadas revolucionarias del monte Paektu, preparadas con firmeza tanto en lo ideo-politico como en lo tecnico-militar, que defienden firmemente la patria, la revolucion y la causa socialista derrotando rotundamente las maniobras agresivas de los imperialistas.
    El inconmovible espiritu de defensa a ultranza al lider del EPC se convierte en la firme conviccion y voluntad de todo el pueblo y su camaraderia revolucionaria resulta fuente principal que permite consolidar la unidad monolitica de nuestra sociedad.
    El calido espiritu del EPC de apoyar al pueblo aumenta extraordinariamente el afan del segundo por asistir al primero. Tambien, la coordinacion de la idea y el estilo de lucha entre ambos posibilita consolidar el cimiento de nuestra sociedad y centuplicar el poderio ideo-politico de nuestra revolucion.
    La unidad revolucionaria del Songun de hoy, segun la cual el ejercito y el pueblo comparten la vida y la muerte, todo lo bueno y lo malo identificandose en la idea, la voluntad, el destino y el futuro, deviene una gran victoria de la politica homonima de nuestro partido y el verdadero aspecto de Corea del Songun.
