Kim Kwan Jin, puppet minister of Defense of south Korea, while inspecting the 2nd Fleet Command of the navy, vociferated about "thorough preparedness," talking a cock-and-bull story that the north "may perpetrate a provocation by way of trumpeting in the east and attacking the west."

Jong Sung Jo, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the south Korean puppet army, touring forefront units of the puppet army, kicked up such war hysteria as blustering that "the enemy may provoke any time" and crying out for "strongly reacting against any provocation, seizing it as an opportunity of actions."

In the meantime, the puppet forces are escalating extreme tension, reinforcing military forces artillery pieces, various types of missiles, fighters and warships in the area around the five islands in the west sea.

The Lee group held anti-DPRK conspiratorial confabs with its U.S. and Japanese masters in a bid to build public opinion on the non-existent "provocation from the north."

Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined commentary observes in this regard:

This is nothing but a crafty "north wind" plot hatched by the Lee conservative regime to stay in power.

The commentary goes on: Whenever the ruling crisis of the puppet conservative group gained in depth, it cooked up "north wind" under the pretext of threat from the north in a bid to divert elsewhere the public attention and achieve its sinister political purpose. This has been a stereotyped method of the successive puppet regimes.

The worn-out method of fabricating the "north wind" employed by the Lee group to strain the situation under the pretexts of "provocation and threat from the north" and the like would get it nowhere.

This will only bring to bolder relief the true colors of the group as warmongers increasing the danger of a war on the Korean Peninsula through reckless military provocations.

The above-said racket will only precipitate the doom of the puppet conservative group, warns the commentary.
