U.S. Imperialists Introduce Nuclear Strategic Bombers and Stealth Fighters into S. Korea

Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialist aggressors on Thursday let fly B-1B nuclear strategic bomber formation and F-35B Stealth fighter formation on a moment's notice to sky above south Korea and conduct joint exercises for mounting preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK with the puppet warmongers, according to KBS of south Korea.

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces do not hide their bellicose nature, claiming that the exercises are to "counter" the DPRK's ballistic rocket launches and nuclear weapons development.

But the wild military acts of the enemies are nothing but the rash act of those taken aback by the intermediate-to-long range strategic ballistic rocket launching drill conducted by the army of the DPRK as the first military operation in the Pacific. -0-

National Peace Committee of Korea Warns S. Korean Authorities Not to Run Reckless

Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- Hwasong-12 rocket launched by the DPRK at dawn of August 29 hit the preset waters in the northern Pacific after flying over the Japanese archipelago.

A spokesman for the National Peace Committee of Korea in a statement Thursday denounced the south Korean puppet forces for raising a hue and cry over the launch, as if a nuclear bomb was exploded in downtown Seoul.

According to the statement, the south Korean authorities are going busy, convening the presidium committee session of the "state security council" and making public a "denunciation statement".

At the instructions of the authorities to "demonstrate strong capabilities of punishment", the puppet forces hastily staged bomb dropping drills by F-15K fighter bombers and resorted to a foolish act of making to public the Hyonmu ballistic missile drilling ground, the statement said, and went on:

In the meantime, they threatened they would introduce nuclear strategic assets of the U.S. and refer the DPRK's ballistic rocket launch issue to the UN Security Council together with the U.S. and Japanese masters, while trumpeting about the "tightened alliance" with the U.S.

The recent ballistic rocket launch drill reminiscent of an actual war is the first step to a military operation in the Pacific conducted by the army of the DPRK and a meaningful prelude to containing Guam, an advance base of the U.S. for aggression, and it is just the beginning of the resolute countermeasures to the war drills staged by the U.S. and its stooges.

We will in the future, too, conduct ballistic rocket launching drill targeting the Pacific where the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces' bases are stationed and show the resolute stand of Juche Korea to the arrogant U.S. in action, not in words.

It should not be forgotten even a moment that whole south Korea can turn into ruins if saber-rattling is shown before the steel gun barrel of the powerful revolutionary Paektusan army.

The puppet forces should not run reckless, clearly understanding that their insensible acts in reliance on the U.S. which is unable to be responsible for its own fate will only accelerate their self-destruction. -0-

FM Spokesman Rejects "Presidential Statement" of UNSC

Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on August 31 as regards the fact that the U.S. and its vassal forces rigged up a "presidential statement" of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) condemning the intermediate-range strategic ballistic rocket launching drill of the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army (KPA):

On August 30, the UNSC released a "presidential statement" distorting the truth as if the DPRK's launch of intermediate-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12 undermined regional peace and stability and caused grave security concerns around the world.

The DPRK categorically rejects the "presidential statement" of UNSC that flagrantly violated the right to self-defense of a sovereign state.

We had already warned the U.S. that we would be closely monitoring its conduct. The intermediate-range strategic ballistic rocket launching drill carried out by the Strategic Force of the KPA this time is only a curtain raiser to the resolute countermeasures to be taken against the U.S. as it responded to our warning by waging belligerent Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises.

The said drill is the first step taken by the KPA in its Pacific operation and a meaningful prelude to restraining Guam, the front-line base for invasion.

The U.S. had denied the DPRK's proactive measures to defuse the extreme tension and acted with imprudence. It is another lesson learned by the DPRK that only actions speak to the U.S., not polite words.

The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK shall conduct many more of ballistic rocket launching drill targeting the Pacific to further modernize and increase the actual combat efficiency of its strategic force. -0-

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK),the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE), , the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification of Korea (BSCRPKP) issued a statement supporting the 
decision of the Central Court of the Democratic People's Republic to sentence right wing reactionary south Korean journalists to death :
  Recently the Central Court of People's Korea took the decision to pass the death sentence on
Dong-A Ilbo journalist Son Hyo Rim and Director General Kim Jae Ho and Chosun Ilbo journalist Yang Ji Ho and Director General Pang Sang Hun will be sentenced to capital punishment under the DPRK Criminal Code Article 60 .Article 60 of the DPRK Criminal Code stipulates that those who insulted the dignity of the DPRK from the anti-state purpose shall be sentenced even to maximum punishment including death, depending on the severity of the perpetration
  These miserable reactionary fascistic south Korean puppet journalists dared to insult People's Korea by using the contents of the book "North Korea Confidential " , which  is an anti -DPRK propaganda book written by 2 two reactionary right wing Tory journalists , who are agents of US and British imperialism , based in Seoul.
    The book "North Korea Confidential " is a real concoction of lies and slanders against People's Korea which is based on the hearsay of so-called "defectors " from the DPRK , in reality such people are traitors who have been bribed with money to betray their country . "North Korea Confidential " shamelessly turns black into white by slandering the socialist system of the DPRK , asserting that somehow capitalism exists in the DPRK ! This is new wave style of post modernist anti-DPRK propaganda which turns basic truths on their heads . The book is very much part and parcel of imperialism's pyschological warfare against People's Korea . This is a particularly insidious form of propaganda aiming at besmirching the nature of the social system of the DPRK and its achievements. Its aim to try and drive a wedge between progressive people and the DPRK.
    The  socialist system of People's Korea is  the most advantageous system centered on the popular masses which can not be found in any other parts of the world. People enjoy full employment , virtually free housing , free education , free health and do not pay tax. No one should slander this system.     
    Our organisations will later produce material refuting this vile and reactionary book.
    The south Korean puppet reactionary journalists ofthe  Dong A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo (two of the worst extreme right wing newspapers in south Korea ) committed the severe crime of not only using this vile and insidious book but defiled the state symbols and offical title of the DPRK .
   Therefore it is correct for the DPRK Central Court to pass the sentence of death on these reactionary scumbags . DPRK justice is people's justice , it is working class justice.

DPRK Central Court Sentences S. Korean Provokers to Death

Pyongyang, August 31 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Central Court of the DPRK issued the following statement Thursday:

The hostile forces, dumbfounded by the independent spirit and tremendous capabilities of Songun Korea demonstrating its might as a nuclear power of Juche and a world-level military power, are more persistently resorting to sordid smear campaign against the DPRK.

Taking the lead in the campaign are a group of conservatives in south Korea going helter-skelter, being unaware of their impending death.

Gentries of Dong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo, newspapers speaking for the conservatives, committed a hideous crime of seriously insulting the dignity of the DPRK with the use of dishonest contents carried by "North Korea Confidential", a propaganda book authored by two British journalists.

The book was written by Daniel and James, correspondents of the British news weekly Economist and the Reuters to south Korea, two years ago. As a collection of words uttered by the riff-raffs including defectors from the north, it viciously slandered the reality of the DPRK with such sophism that "life of the north's citizens is capitalistic 100 percent".

The paid writers of the two newspapers of south Korea introduced the book as "a guide interesting to those wishing to know about the north", reeling off such sophism that "the north is a country where money has greater influence than in capitalist countries", "youngsters without mobile phones are treated losers", "army is unpaid labor unit" and that "those with money can get married to those of high positions in society any time".

They had the temerity of carrying a photo in which the red star, symbolic of the brilliant revolutionary traditions of anti-Japanese war engraved on the upper part of the national emblem of the DPRK, was replaced by $ symbol and the name of the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" was replaced by the "Capitalist Republic of Korea". They even committed such shuddering acts of replacing the title of the book called "North Korea Confidential" with "Capitalist Republic of Korea".

Dong-A Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo and other conservative media in south Korea have so far committed smear campaign against the DPRK nonstop, adding to crimes already committed. Whenever there were such things, we seriously warned that that they will be made to pay a high price for their wild acts of escalating confrontation with the north.

However, those conservative media, defying this warning, have persisted in smear campaign against the DPRK. Now they have reached the state of slandering and insulting even the inviolable name of our country and its national emblem.

Not content with viciously slandering our socialist system, the most advantageous system centered on the popular masses which can not be found in any other parts of the world, they seriously insulted the name and emblem, symbols of the inviolable dignity of the DPRK. This is a never-to-be-pardoned high treason.

It is needless to say that this is a hideous act manipulated by the group of wicked conservatives who are breathing their last after being reduced into a group of living corpses in the face of stern punishment by history and the people's mindset.

Article 60 of the DPRK Criminal Code stipulates that those who insulted the dignity of the DPRK from the anti-state purpose shall be sentenced even to maximum punishment including death, depending on the severity of the perpetration.

The Central Court of the DPRK declares that Dong-A Ilbo journalist Son Hyo Rim and Director General Kim Jae Ho and Chosun Ilbo journalist Yang Ji Ho and Director General Pang Sang Hun will be sentenced to capital punishment under the DPRK Criminal Code.

The criminals hold no right to appeal and the execution will be carried out any moment and at any place without going through any additional procedures as soon as the objects are confirmed.

We will track down to the end those who masterminded and manipulated hideous provocations of slandering and insulting the dignity of the DPRK and mete out death to them.

Taking this opportunity, we warn the south Korean authorities still conniving at the crime by hack writers of Dong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo. If they do not start immediate investigation into those criminals who insulted the dignity of the DPRK and do not punish them, they will be branded as accomplices.

It should be clearly understood that neither mercy nor leniency will be shown to those who slander the inviolable dignity of the DPRK.

We will closely follow the attitude of the south Korean authorities. -0-

UK KFA Condemns Theresa May's Historionic Anti-DPRK Outburst

 UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION 

                 

             30th of August 2017

Recently , the reactionary and anti-popular UK prime minister Theresa May and some other members of her government joined in with their US masters and the Japanese reactionaries in pouring condemnation and noisy vituperation on People's Korea for its recent successful test fire of a ballistic missile . 

 Mrs May claimed that the DPRK's legitmate self-defensive missile test was 'illegal ' ! . Under which law is the DPRK forbidden to test missiles . There is no international law or indeed UK law which expressly forbids the DPRK from launching its missiles . Indeed under the UN Charter all members are guaranteed the right to self-defence . The DPRK has exercised its right to self-defence. Is Mrs May not aware of the fact that the DPRK has rejected all  the UNSC resolutions and is bound by them .
 As a matter of fact all the UNSC resolutions and sanctions against People's Korea are actually illegal and violate both the letter and the spirit of the UN Charter.
   The DPRK's recent missile launch was a just and legitmate self-defensive measure  against the Ulji Freedom Guardian exercise. In this exercise the US imperialists and south Korean puppets are practicising the invasion of People's Korea and regime change scenarios . Some 17,000 US troops and 56,000 south Korean puppet troops are involved in this . Not only is south Korea and the US involved in this exercise but British troops as well . This is shameful. Thus May has the temerity to criticise the DPRK for defending itself from potenial aggression from the US , south Korea, Britain , Canada , Colombia , Australia and France !
     Mrs May talked of standing "shoulder to shoulder " with the reactionary and militaristic Japanese imperialists against People's Korea . This statement itself is a provocation and affront to the  DPRK . Indeed it is an affront to the entire Korean people who suffered under Japanese imperialist colonial rule . It is Japanese expansionism that is a threat to the independence and sovereignty of the DPRK as well as peace in Asia .
   May urged further sanctions against People's Korea. Sanctions are a form of economic aggression and are aimed at regime change . Thus the reactionary British imperialists and their boss lady May aim at overthrowing the DPRK and destroying the socialist system.
   Lastly, the UK Prime Minister even absurdly talked of "British military action " against the DPRK . This statement is intolerable but at the same time barking mad because the British armed forces are at a low level due to cutbacks,. Britain cannot afford to get involved in a war in Korea.. Is May , who seems to be a reincarnation of the hated Margaret Thatcher , planning to repeat the shameful and tragic episode of Britain's participation in the last Korean war in which young British lives were sacrificied on the altar of US imperialism !
 We totally condemn this rantings of Theresa May ! We call for Britain to stop backing the US in its anti-DPRK campaign and for Britain to pursue an independent policy. There must be no British intervention in Korea !
HANDS OFF PEOPLE'S KOREA !
NO TO BRITISH INVOLVEMENT IN A NEW KOREAN WAR !
NO TO SANCTIONS ! NO TO WAR !

  On the evening of the 29th of August the UNSC carried a resolution condemning the recent successful missile test by People's Korea.   Once again the UNSC is acting as the puppet and stool-pigeon of US imperialism.
  The UNSC has no right to interfere in the measures of the DPRK for self-defence. Many of the members of the UNSC who condemned the DPRK have carried out both nuclear and ICBM tests so it is rank hypocrisy  !
 The UNSC does not represent the international community but is the US imperialists and other imperialists plus the big powers and various neo-colonies  and puppet regimes. This motley assortment of imperialists, big power chauvinists, revisonists , reactionaries , puppets and fools cannot speak on behalf of the world's people who support independence and justice. The world progressive and revolutionary peoples support the right of the DPRK to self-defence .
   The UNSC's arrogant and brazen demand that the DPRK " abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programmes “in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner, and immediately cease all related activities” and not conduct any further tests or provocations.. fully comply with its international obligations"  is not only gross interfence in the affairs of the DPRK but a call for unilateral disarmement ,regime change and the dismantling of the socialist system of the DPRK !
   We say that the UNSC should mind its own business and not interfere in the DPRK . We say
UNSC Hands of People's Korea !
Down with the UNSC
Hands off People's Korea !
US Out of Korea !
Yankees Go Home !

KCNA Commentary Derides S. Korean Authorities' Reckless Action

Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet forces dumbfounded by the DPRK's toughest offensive against the U.S. is going about foolish, like those unaware of their impending death.

The south Korean chief executive who claim "there should not be a war" under the signboard of "peace" finally started Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises with the U.S., pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula to the point of explosion.

Talking about "suspension of someone's provocation" while describing the north-targeted war drills in which huge aggression forces are involved as "annual and defensive drills" is utterly illogical and reminds one of a guilty party filing the suit first.

As known, the nuclear force of the DPRK is a treasured sword for defending the sovereignty and the right to existence of the Korean nation from the aggression and interference by outsiders, and it represents the most reliable war deterrence.

The present situation reminds one of the eve of the Korean war in the 1950s.

The boss of the empire of evil went so impudent as to say that even though a war breaks out, it will be on the Korean peninsula and even though thousands die, that will be on the peninsula as he views the Korean nation as victims of the scenario for world domination.

War servants of the U.S. flew into south Korea one after another to hold war confabs and toured DPRK-targeted war drills, calling for "getting ready to be able to fight anytime". This is an already disclosed fact.

The recent saber-rattling is never a military game of children as it involves huge troops of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the puppet forces, lethal weapons, administrative organizations in Seoul and provinces of south Korea, huge labor and material resources of the munitions and civilian institutions, and also forces of seven satellite countries.

The U.S., a war state, and its stooges are professing "guardian of peace" and clamoring for "security crisis" even though they kick up heinous war frenzy in this bright world.

It is the invariable stand and mode of thorough counteraction of the DPRK to foil the U.S. reckless "preventive war" and "preemptive attack" with Korean-style just all-out war and earlier preemptive attack.

The DPRK does not make an empty talk.

The south Korean authorities had better have a look at their foolish and silly master spending each miserable and painful second and moment of its life in the world eyes.

Those steeped in sycophancy toward the U.S. are bound to become foolish enough to take a knife-brandishing robber storming one's own house as "protector".

The south Korean authorities had better judge whether they can be responsible for the future happenings before going rash. -0-

Military Hysteria of Sworn Enemies of Korea Will Invite Self-destruction: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is going busy, in alignment with Japan.

At a U.S.-Japan security consultative committee meeting in Washington they issued a "joint statement" the keynote of which is the provision of the extended deterrence of the U.S. to Japan and the cooperation in military pressure on the DPRK pursuant to Japan's expansion of defence capabilities.

In Japan the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff was closeted with the chairman of the Joint Staff Council of Japan' "Self-Defense Forces" over the issue of the deployment of the U.S. Aegis missile defence system in Japan.

Washington and Tokyo show increased military collusion as evidenced by actual actions like joint military exercises by the U.S. marines and the Japan ground SDF and the joint air exercises simulating the emergency on the Korean peninsula by the U.S. air SDF and the U.S. air force in Hokkaido.

This shows the collusion of the sworn enemies of the DPRK aimed to realize without fail the ambition for the invasion of the DPRK, and a dangerous military action to push the tense situation in the peninsula and the region to the touch-and-go war phase.

Recently the U.S. and Japan have put spurs to increasing military expenditure and bolstering military capabilities, and all kinds of their strategic assets have been assembled on the Korean peninsula and in Northeast Asia.

The U.S.-Japan nexus under the pretext of "the nuclear and missile threats from the DPRK" reminds one of the days early in the last century when the brigandish "Katsura-Taft agreement" was fabricated and fierce moves were taken for the invasion of Korea.

What remains unchanged despite the change of the times and replacement of generations is the U.S. and Japan's deep-rooted ambition for invasion of Korea.

The reason that they are tightening military nexus is to hold junior "ally" under tighter control and use it as a shock brigade in executing the strategy toward Asia and in realizing the strategy for dominating the world.

Crafty Japan is seeking to attain its strategic goal with the help of the U.S.

Taking the increased tension on the Korean peninsula as a "good opportunity" for realizing the constitutional revision and the ambition for emerging a military giant, Japan has now come out with its sleeves rolled up in supporting its master's anti-DPRK war moves while vociferating about the "threat from the north".

Their military nexus has become a serious threat to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.

Tragic is that they are still unaware of the fact that such an act is little short of stepping deeper into the optical sight of the DPRK and accelerating self-destruction.

They should not be forgotten that the DPRK's toughest countermeasures include a warning to Japan going wild, being unaware of its imminent destruction, not just to the U.S. seriously threatening the sovereignty and the right to existence of the DPRK.

The U.S. and Japan had better be thoughtful over the DPRK's warning. -0-

Kim Jong Un Guides Strategic Ballistic Rocket Launching Drill of KPA Strategic Force











Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, guided an intermediate-and-long range strategic ballistic rocket launching drill of the KPA Strategic Force on the spot.

The drill was observed by senior officials of the Central Committee of the WPK including Ri Pyong Chol, Kim Jong Sik, Jo Yong Won and Yu Jin, and officials in the field of defence scientific research including Jang Chang Ha and Jon Il Ho.

Respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un was greeted by commanding officers of the KPA Strategic Force including its General Kim Rak Gyom, commander of the KPA Strategic Force.

Involved in the drill were Hwasong artillery units of the KPA Strategic Force tasked with striking the bases of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces located in the Pacific operational theater in contingency and intermediate-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12.

As known to the world, the intermediate-and-long range strategic ballistic rocket launching drill of the KPA Strategic Force was conducted as a part of the muscle-flexing to counter the Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military drills the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces finally kicked off in disregard of the DPRK's meaningful and crucial warning.

The drill was carried out through the combination of sudden maneuvers and strike in order to estimate and examine the posture of the KPA Strategic Force for prompt counteraction in contingency on the Korean peninsula and to confirm the actual war operation capacity of the intermediate-and-long range strategic ballistic rocket newly equipped by it.

The Hwasong artillery personnel, who were to conduct the launching drill for the first time in the capital city of the DPRK by order of Kim Jong Un, were all filled with strong militant enthusiasm.

Kim Jong Un arrived at the launching ground early at dawn and watched the artillerymen promptly moving and deploying the Hwasong-12 rocket launcher, praising them for their smart and accurate movement.

He learned in detail about the launch plan, preset flight track and target waters and issued an order to launch the rocket.

The fired ballistic rocket reflecting the dignity and might of the Juche-based nuclear power crossed the sky above Oshima peninsula of Hokkaido and Cape Erimo of Japan along the preset flight track and accurately hit the preset target waters in northern Pacific.

The drill had no impact on the security of the neighboring countries.

In the drill the rocket operational capacity of the Hwasong artillery units of the KPA Strategic Force for an actual war and the combat efficiency of the intermediate-and-long range strategic ballistic rocket it is newly equipped with were all proved perfect.

Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction over the successful launching.

Praising the Hwasong artillerymen of the Strategic Force for being well versed in the new ultra-modern rocket system and properly operating it, he said the drill would offer them an opportunity for gaining a good experience in their rocket operation for an actual war.

Noting that the current ballistic rocket launching drill like a real war is the first step of the military operation of the KPA in the Pacific and a meaningful prelude to containing Guam, advanced base of invasion, he said that it is necessary to positively push forward the work for putting the strategic force on a modern basis by conducting more ballistic rocket launching drills with the Pacific as a target in the future.

Sternly saying that the U.S. answered the DPRK's warning that it will closely watch the U.S. behavior with the bellicose war exercises for aggression, he added that the drill conducted by the Strategic Force is a curtain-raiser of its resolute countermeasures against the Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises being conducted by the U.S. and its stooges.

Noting that it is a lesson the DPRK drew this time again that it should show action, not talk, to the U.S. imprudently denying the DPRK's initiative measure for easing the extreme tension, he stressed that the DPRK will continue to watch the U.S. demeanors as was already declared and decide its future action according to them.

He expressed great belief and conviction that the officers and men of the Strategic Force will further strengthen the combat preparations of Hwasong artillery pieces as required by the grim situation, be fully ready to go into action for decisive battle so as to launch powerful ballistic rockets anytime and thus check military racket of the U.S. imperialists and their followers and firmly guarantee the security of the country and the happiness of the people.

Officers and men of the KPA Strategic Force extended the warmest thanks to Kim Jong Un, peerless patriot and hero of the nation, who gave vent to the long-pent grudge of the Korean people by mapping out a bold plan to make the cruel Japanese islanders insensible on Aug. 29 when the disgraceful "Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty" was proclaimed 107 years ago and approving ballistic rocket launching in the capital region, and pledged that once the Party Central Committee issues an order, they will fulfill their sacred mission and duty as the reliable nuclear force of the WPK in the van of the final sacred war which will win victory in the standoff with the imperialists and the U.S. -0-

Source of Headache of "World's Superpower": KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, August 29 (KCNA) -- U.S. President Trump has become the source of headache at home and abroad.

Much upset by the DPRK's successful ICBM test-launches, Trump ran riot, talking about "fire and fury" unprecedented in the world. Senators from the Republican and Democratic Parties of the U.S. commented that it is like adding fuel to the aggravated situation, and demanded that the right to use military granted to Trump has to be constrained.

At least 60 members of the House of Representatives from the Democratic Party asserted that the "nuclear bag" should not be entrusted to him, as his remarks may invite the departed soul of a nuclear war.

Trump's self-justified way of thinking and abnormal demeanor have touched off discontent from Senators from the Republican Party, his political base. As a result, policies he had in mind were either ignored or delayed and some were declined to be reduced to scrap paper.

Trump issued executive orders every three days whose passage through Congress was not necessary. The January executive order which banned the issuance of visas for entry into the U.S. and the entry into the country by citizens from seven Muslim countries including Syria and Iran has led to large-scale demonstrations against it worldwide, to say nothing of in the U.S., and the filing of suit by human rights organizations which forced the Seattle Federal Court to suspend the effectuation of the order.

Trump has been snubbed even by the Western countries as he revealed down to the bottom the American ferocity, lack of judgment and extreme recklessness.

German high-ranking politicians including Chancellor Merkel advised Trump to act with reason, making it clear that her country would never take part in any military action of the U.S. targeting the DPRK.

Former Foreign Minister of Australia Gareth Evans said that Trump is the worst popular and the least prepared president in the American history, who is challenging in terms of morality and ethics and low in psychological preparedness, adding he has led the administration prompted by his instinct and temporary impulse, not by knowledge or judgment and guided by circumstances, not by any policy.

Gallup, American opinion poll body, issued the results of opinion poll the majority of respondents to which denounced Trump as the source of the biggest headache of the country.

Americans are bound to always have such an uneasy mentality as they serve such an ill-conducted president whose words do not match with acts. -0-

UK KFA rejects missile hysteria by the Japanese imperialists

                                                 

UK KFA totally rejects the hysteria of Japan, the US , south Korea and other imperialist and capitalist countries over the alleged DPRK missile launch . As such there was no damage or casualties reported by the Japanese authorities . The story is likely to highly influenced by the deep anti-Korean racism of the Japanese state and anti-DPRK paranoia on the part of the Japanese ruling class which is veering towards fascism . Never let it be forgotten that Japan enforced brutal colonial rule over Korea for over 40 years and committed many horrendous crimes too numerous to mention against the Korean people .
We reiterate that the DPRK has the independent and sovereign right to self-defence which no one should challenge!

   On the 28th of August 1927 the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG formed the Young Communist League of Korea with members of the Anti-Imperialist Youth League of Korea which in turn had been formed with members from the Down -With -Imperialism Union the first communist revolutionary organisation .
   The formation of the YCLK opened a new chapter in the history of the Juche-orientated communist movement in Korea . The great leader comrade KIM JONG IL wrote that "Under the leadership of respected Comrade Kim II Sung during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, the young communists and other young patriots blazed the trail for the Korean revolution, defeated Japanese imperialism and accomplished the historic cause of liberating the country. In the course of the noble struggle for national liberation waged under his wise leadership, the Korean communist youth movement originated and its glorious traditions were established. "
  The great leader President KIM IL SUNG thus formed a new communist revolutionary movement in Korea based on youth that was completely from the poison of factionalism and totally committed to anti-imperialist and communist revolutionary ideas .
   The tradition of attaching great importance to youth work was established by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG . In some former socialist countries youth were regarded as a source of trouble as they were frequently the first to succumb to the imperialist ideological and cultural infiltration but in People's Korea youth are the pride of the nation , they are the vanguard and shock brigade of socialist construction .
  We congratulate the Korean people on the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the Young Communist League of Korea.

KCNA Commentary Urges U.S. to Be Mindful of Its Own Fate

Pyongyang, August 28 (KCNA) -- A saying goes it's like sitting on thorns.

Americans living within the firing range of the DPRK's ICBM have the jitters amid the building up of opinion by world major media that there has been a change from the past when the DPRK was unilaterally exposed to threats in relations between the DPRK and the U.S.

A video posted on the Polish internet magazine Poland on August 15 showed that there has been massive increase in the sale of nuclear air-raid shelter within a few days after Trump made remarks about "fire and fury" and the DPRK responded to it with the statement of strike on Guam. It added that this has created huge tensions, made the people think about security and thus increased their concern for nuclear air-raid shelter.

Those in stock have already run out but the company plans to build thousands more and increase sales to the U.S. and several countries around the world.

An Austrian newspaper said that to cope with threats of missile attack from north Korea the security authorities of Guam posted on internet leaflets dealing with the rules of conduct at time of emergency and demanded that every citizen read it, and that the Hawaii authorities also distributed the said leaflets to their citizens.

A report also said that the DPRK's influence has shown significant increase in the security structure on the Korean peninsula and the DPRK's say has shown increase as much in relations between the DPRK and the U.S., adding this has caused the fall of stock price at stock markets in the U.S. and south Korea, and that citizens on Guam are trembling with fear.

Amid the horror-ridden atmosphere, two radio broadcasting stations on Guam let out the warnings of the state of emergency by mistake, making the citizens feel greater uneasiness.

The chairman of the International Relations Committee of the House of Representatives from the U.S. Republican Party submitted a letter stressing the need to get public be aware of the fact that "millions of Americans are living within the firing range of ICBM of north Korea".

The U.S. which used to make nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK, styling itself the "world's only superpower," is suffering from fear and uneasiness.

Clear is its reason. The U.S. is being made to pay a price for its criminal attempt to violate the sovereignty of an independent state.

What matters is that the U.S. is still thinking of "demonstrating its power" to the DPRK even though it seems that it is now fully aware of the DPRK.

The U.S. vice-president during his visit to Chile on August 16 talked about "economic and diplomatic pressure" while pressurizing several countries to "cut off diplomatic relations with north Korea".

Citizens are not having a comfortable sleep but heavyweights of the Trump administration are inviting misfortune, being utterly un-thoughtful of what is uttered by them.

The U.S. had better be mindful of its own destiny, not resorting to the useless anti-DPRK racket for confrontation and pressure while calling for "protection of allies" in different parts of the world. -0-

Journey to the land of Mt Paektu-report of my 14th visit to People's Korea by Dr Dermot Hudson

                                           
 
Our UK KFA delegation consisting of Dermot Hudson , Alex Meads and Jose Blazquez visited the DPRK from the 11th of August until the 19th of August to participate in the great 5th International Festival in Praise of the Great Persons born of Mt Paektu ( the great leader President KIM IL SUNG , Chairman KIM JONG IL, respected Marshal KIM JONG UN and anti-Japanese woman heroine Madame KIM JONG SUK .
       It was my 14th visit , the 3rd visit for Alex and the first ever time for Jose to visit the DPRK.
Our delegation arrived in Pyongyang on the 11th of August after a chaotic and difficult transit through Beijing the capital of Chinese revisionism. Beijing airport seems to be chaotic and inefficient It is full of capitalist advertising .It is a prime example of an over-expanded airport and symbolic of globalisation which is a toxic disease destroying countries. Our difficulty was that the delegation were on different flights . This should not have been a problem however the flight I was on 
just sat on the runaway for nearly an hour without letting the passengers off . Then the Air Koryo plane to Pyongyang was delayed by nearly 2 hours from leaving , we do not know why .!
   Our plane glided into the DPRK , we soared over the revolutionary sites where the martyrs of the anti-Japanese war led by the great leader President KIM IL SUNG lay . We were glad to arrive at Pyongyang Sunan International Airport and to be away from the chaos of Beijing airport .In contrast to the globalised mess of Beijing airport , you could only see the planes of the DPRK national airline AIr Koryo in Pyongyang Airport.
We  were greeted at the airport by comrade Ham Sung Jin who is secretary general of the Korean Committee for Friendship with the British People .Later when we got on the bus we met our translators Miss Kim , a pretty and bright young girl from the Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies and Mr Zang a graduate student from the same university .
We were accommodated at the splendid 47 storey  Yangkaddo Hotel which is on an island on the River Taedong in Pyongyang . My room had a great view of Pyongyang including the Juche Idea Tower, I could also see the Koryo Hotel which I had stayed in many times.
    Our guide comrade Ham made a short speech on the coach on the way to Pyongyang saying that we had come at a very difficult time , a time of very acute tension. Only days before we travelled the increasingly deranged and idiotic buffoon who occupies the position of US president talked of unleashing "Fire and fury " against People's Korea , this followed the imposition of severe sanctions by the  UN Security Council(a corrupt and venal body entirely controlled by US imperialism and big powers). The Yankee imperialists had been stunned by the  test fires of the Hwasong-14 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile on the 4th of July and the 29th of July. Thus the DPRK has emerged as a socialist nuclear power of Juche and an ICBM launching nation . The US imperialists are now on their deathbed and have resorted to desperate and reckless to try and prevent the emergence of a nuclear DPRK and to stifle to socialist system of the DPRK. It is a fact that when the US , the UNSC , Japan , EU , Russia, China and the south Korean puppets talk about the denuclearisiation of the DPRK they really mean breaking up the socialist system of the DPRK . The US defence secretary talked about the "destruction of the people " of the DPRK .
    The DPRK has not taken these threats laying down but instead the Strategic Rocket Force of the Korean People's Army declared that they would submit a plan for a strike by Hwasong-12  missiles on the US occupied island of Guam. On the 15th of August ,whilst we were staying in the DPRK, dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN visited the Command of the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army and praised the KPA Strategic Force for having drawn up a close and careful plan as intended by the Party and examined the firing preparations for power demonstration. He warned that if the US persist in their foolhardy and reckless provocations then the strike plan will be carried out .
                                 
     People in the DPRK were not bowed or intimidated by the US imperialist threats . They were going about their business quite normally and calmly . Indeed when I attended the Karoake and dinner on the last night the idea of war seemed quite surreal and far off. However the Korean people have a heightened anti-US,anti-imperialist spirit. Two days before we arrived there was a massive rally against the UNSC sanctions. New anti-US posters have gone up in the streets of Pyongyang .We also saw members of the Red Young Guards marching up Kwangbok streetwith Red flags and placards which called for smashing the 'secret warfare' and 'regime change' plans of the US imperialists and world reactionaries . This was a deeply inspiring sight  as it showed the revolutionary and militant nature of People's Korea guided by the great Juche idea . No other country in the world is so strong in anti-imperialist spirit and revolutionary ardour ! It was a great contrast to the neighbouring country , China, where all kinds of capitalist rubbish are readily accepted and a contrast to the tired , worn out bureaucratic revisionist led socialist countries of Europe that I had visited in the 1980s. So long as People's Korea is guided by the militant anti-imperialist Juche idea and self-reliance  it can never collapse!
                       
Holding the  Festival  was in itself a blow against US imperialism . Some 300 delegates from all over the globe, all continents being represented  had braved threats of war by US imperialism to come to People's Korea the land of Juche . In fact there were so many countries it was hard to list them all / One lie is that the DPRK is isolated but were so many people in Pyongyang including a former Nepalese Prime Minister  and representatives of the World Peace Council and the Organisation for Solidarity with Asian , African  and Latin American Peoples.
 The Korean Friendship Association (KFA) was represented by  delegations from the UK, Spain,Belgium , Cyprus , Estonia ,Switzerland Thailand and Ireland . There was a great buzz and a great vibe with meeting all sorts of different people.
   Undoubtedly the high point of the trip was going up Mt Paektu , the sacred mountain of the Korean revolution and spiritual birthplace of the great Korean nation .Although I had visited the DPRK over 10 times  I had never been to Mt Paektu  We travelled to the far northeastern part of the DPRK by an Air Koryo domestic flight , my first time on a DPRK domestic flight. Our plane landed at the 
charming Samjiyon airport .
                   
 The scenery  of the region was breathtaking to say the least , awe inspiring and like nothing I had seen before . What is incredible is that we drove through a thick forest for over a hour , this shows that the DPRK takes care of the environment .The air in the area around Mt Paektu and Samjiyon is even purer and cleaner than in Pyongyang . I would like to live in the area as I know that I would feel very healthy and live long .
The town of Samjiyon in the north of the DPRK is very clean, neat and tidy,. Here people looked just as well as in Pyongyang and had mobile phones. There was no sign of poverty or destitution . Friendly people waved to us .  waved to us .We saw new buildings under construction there .
    We went first to the Samjiyon Grand Monument . A truly remarkable place which shows the great exploits of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG in leading the anti-Japanese armed struggle to victory. I had seen pictures of this place in books but never visited it before.
    We were accommodated in the excellent Pegabong hotel where we were treated to an excellent open air performance of the local school children . The educational level of the children here is the same as Pyongyang . I had heard some negative reports about the Pegabong Hotel but it was well run and had hot water and electricity all night.It was also warm .
   On the morning of Monday 14th of August we woke up early and left the hotel by 6am . We we drove to Mt Paektu by bus.Mt Paetku is 2,700 metres above sea level .
The buses ascended the steep road to the peak . We got out where it was no longer possible for the bus to travel . You have to see Mt Paektu in reality not just read about it.The scenery is simply breathtaking  I had been up mountains in Scotland but Mt Paektu was really different to these. We could look down and see Lake Chon , a volcanic lake, which had clear blue water .
 We held a rally on the mountain with both speeches and poems .There were speakers from Guinea , Pakistan and Peru . The meeting adopted  the Paektusan declaration . We marched down the mountain with a banner .
    The adoption of the Mt Paektu declaration was highly significant.  The spirit of Mt Paektu is the spirit of independence, The Mt Paektu spirit of independence , Juche and self-reliance permeates the whole of the DPRK and the country pulsates with independence and self-reliance. It is this spirit of independence and self-reliance that is enabling the Korean people to smash the sanctions of the US , the UNSC and the big power chauvinists . It is worth adding here that we saw no effect of sanctions on the DPRK . New buildings are rising and I could hear construction work going on outside my hotel all night . The DPRK seems to become more self-reliant each day , for example canned iced coffee is a popular drink in the DPRK , previously this had been imported or produced under licence in the DPRK but now the DPRK is producing its own cans of iced coffee.
                             
 We also visited the Secret Camp on Mt Paektu which is the birthplace of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL and was the headquarters of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army(KPRA) . The scenery here is just as breathtaking as on Mt Paektu . We could see Jong Il Peak rising in the distance with sheer incredible majesty . There were clear streams that were refreshing to look at , it was tempting to drink the water from these streams . A red flag was proudly flying from the log cabin that had been the HQ of the KPRA . This was striking symbolism as the DPRK virtually alone in the world is upholding the red flag and maintaining socialist principles even though others,such as the Soviet revisionists and the Chinese , have thrown it down shamefully.
   On August 15th the  Gathering 2017-Praise to the Great Persons of Mt Paektu was held at the People's Palace of Culture . In attendance were leading figures of the DPRK government such as Kim Yong Nam , Kim Ki Man  and Ri Su Gyong . The chairwoman of the Korean Committee for Cultural Relations was presiding over the gathering  with keynote speeches made by Peter Woods from Australia and Madhav Kumar the former prime minister of Nepal.
, On Wednesday our delegation participated in the international Solidarity meeting with the Korean People which was presided over by a leading official of the World Peace Council. A representative of OSPAAL addressed the meeting and I also spoke.
We were able to witness first hand  the pain of the division of Korea caused by brutish US imperialism at Panmunjom as well as witnessing that the US admitted its defeat in Korea by signing the Korean Armistice Agreement on July 27th. Looking around the Armistice hall I saw that not only was US imperialism defeated in 1953 but also in the Pueblo incident of 1968, the EC121 incident of 1969 and many other cases. We also saw materials on captured US and south Korean spies. At Panmunjom we saw the monument to the autograph of the great leader President KIM IL SUNG on the document for national reunification . Had the proposals set down by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG for national reunification had been accepted by south Korea and US troops withdrawn Korea would have been reunified a long time ago. I had a chat about the Juche idea with a friendly KPA Officer .
    As well as Panmunjom and Samjiyon we also travelled to Mt Myohyang to see the International Friendship Exhibition . Travelling to different parts of the DPRK by road we saw lush fields of crops . The imperialists had been making propaganda that the DPRK was affected by drought and that there would even be  massive famine. However during our visit it rained several times and we were told that the effects of the drought had been overcome .
   We were able to see the great scientific potenial of People's Korea  when we visited the Sci-Tech Complex. Here we had a joint meeting with the satelitte scientists of the DPRK National Aerospace Development Adminstration . They explained the history of the DPRK satellite programme and the foundation of NADA . They pointed out that is the independent and sovereign right of the DPRK to pursue space exploration
                                          
      Another lie was proved false during our visit . The Wikipedia claims that the DPRK has 10 year compulsory military service . However in reality it is usually 3 years and there is no conscription because everyone wants to join the Army to fight the Yankees and defend the country , so there is no shortage of recruits for the army so no need for conscription.
     We also learnt an interesting fact . In the DPRK a mobile phone costs only0.32 dollars for 3 months with 200 minutes of calls per month ! This is incredible when you compare to the high costs of mobile phones in the UK . Most people in the DPRK have mobile phones .It is a true peoples paradise.
  Our delegation was able to enjoy an excellent performance by the Samjiyon band at the majestic East Pyongyang Grand Theatre , we also saw the splendid Manyondae Childrens Palace and the Fatherland Liberation War Museum.
We paid our respects to the great leaders comrades KIM IL SUNG and KIM JONG IL at the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun. We  also visited the birthplace of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG at Mangyondae . 
 Our delegation and the Swiss delegation had an excellent meeting with our comrades in arms the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front  of south Korea.The chief of the Pyongyang Mission of the AINDF explained the struggle for reunification in south Korea and demolished any illusions about the so-called 'liberal' government in south Korea.
 I also attended a function organised by the Korean Association of Social Scientists held at Okryu restaurant The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful . The next day I had  a separate meeting with KASS professor Kim Chang Gyong.
      We took part in many state functions and events. I met comrade Kim Yong Nam , Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK.
                                               

.For me most memorable was the impromptu dinner and Karaoke organised by the Cultural Relations Committee . I was amazed at myself participating in the Karoake after a beautiful waitress took my hand and led me on to the stage.

I was greatly honoured to receive  the Order of Friendship Second Class and also win a prize in the International Literary contest .
Such a great atmosphere it was sad to leave !

UK KFA Emergency picket of the US Embassy against Ullji Freedom Guardian 26.08.2017

                                              
A picket of the US imperalist embassy in London was held on the 26th of August between 1500 hours and 1700 hours organised by the UK Korean Friendship Association , the Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK and the Juche Idea Study Group of England . It was attended by members of the ASSPUK, JISGE, UK KFA , British Solidarity Committee , also by members of the New Communist Party including the General Secretary Andy Brooks. Also in attendance were members of the British Branch of the Italian Communist Party and members of the Irish community in London. An attempt by neo-nazis to infitlrate , disrupt and discredit the picket was detected and foiled at the beginning of the picket .
                                               


 Dr Dermot Hudson president of the ASSPUK, Chairman of JISGE and Chairman of UK KFA spoke saying that " The US imperialists and the south Korean puppets have already began Uli Freedom Guardian which involve some 17 500 U.S. imperialist aggressor troops in south Korea and abroad, at least 50 000 troops of the south Korean puppet army and armed forces of seven satellite countries which include the UK ,Australia ,France , Colombia and other countries . Civilians will also be involved on the drill . The exercises are being held at a time a great tension . Moreover the exercises include beheading operations etc. Ulji Freedom Guardian is not defensive. It is about invading the DPRK and destroying the socialist system in the DPRK , in essence regime change by force pure and simple . The fact that it is held annually does not make it any less aggressive indeed it basically shows the hostile intent of the US towards the DPRK. The exercises are being held at a time when the US throught its puppet the UNSC have harsh draconian sanctions with the aim of strangling the economy and obliterating the socialist system . Thus the US are trying to destroy the DPRK on two fronts ... We are here today to demand that the US and south cancel the Uli Freedom Guardian exercises , withdraw US troops , revoke the sanctions and end the hostile policy towards the DPRK " Picketers chanted No to Sanctions , no to war ! US out of Korea ! Yankee Go Home ! Korea is One ! Yankee , Yankee , Yankee Out , Out , Out ! Victory to People's Korea ! The UK KFA banner and DPRK flag were displayed along with the flag of the Italian Communist Party . Placards saying "No to Ulji Freedom Guardian " , " No to Sanctions , No to War " , "US out of Korea " and "Victory to the AINDF " were displayed. A large quantity of leaflets was handed out and good discussion with passers by. The picket was a success despite it being held on an August holiday and with travelling difficulties. Picket concluded at 1700hours
