Korea: Kim Jong Il and Single-Hearted Unity

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a country in which the leader, the Party and the masses of the people are firmly united into one. Then what underlines this single-hearted unity and why is it so solid ?

Everything in the world is composed of and develops with a nucleus at its centre. The same goes to the unity of society. That centre is ,of course, the leader. All the people being rallied firmly around the leader, the center, as community with one ideology and with one purpose sharing the same destiny-this is single-hearted unity.

During nearly half a century since Kim Jong Il stated working at the Central Committee of the WPK ( June 19,1964) , the guiding force of the Korean society, the single –hearted unity has been consolidated to the maximum in Korea.

He conducted energetic ideological and theoretical activities, thus presenting outstanding ideologies and theories which gave answers to the questions raised by the era. He formulated the Juche idea, authored by President Kim Il Sung, the founding –father of socialist Korea, as the guiding ideology of the era.

His brilliant ideological and theoretical wisdom was demonstrated further during the worldwide political tempest at the end of the 20^th century. Socialism collapsed in several countries , and taking advantage of this turmoil, the imperialist directed all their energies to stifling socialist Korea. The this juncture, Kim Jong Il formulated Songun politics , a mode of politics unprecedented in the history of human politics, as the basic mode of socialist politics.

On the other hand, he made public a large number of works, such as Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable, Socialism Is Science and Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism, encouraging the Korean people to turn out resolutely fro safeguarding socialism and building a socialist thriving nation even in the worst situation as they cherished the truthfulness and invincibility of socialism as their unchangeable conviction.

The Juche idea and the Songun idea, which he raised as the guiding ideals of the cause of independence, arouse great sympathy and support from the broad sections of people of the world.

The reason why the Korean people support Kim Jong Il with one mind and one will is because he is possessed of outstanding leadership ability.

Since he started working at the Central Committee of the WPK, Korea has witnessed epoch-making changes. Korea developed into a socialist industrial state, and the world-class West Sea Barrages was built across an 8-kilometre section of the West Sea of Korea. The Korean society is shining its brilliance as a socialist One, where people are masters of everything and everything serves them.

The world realized more keenly the prominent leadership ability of Kim Jong Il in the 1990s when Korea was suffering unprecedented difficulties.

In July 1994 President Kim Il Sung died, the US-led imperialist forces imposed sanctions and blockaded against the country, and natural calamities hit the country for several consecutive years.

In this worst situation, Kim Jong Il held higher the banner of Songun and overcame all the difficulties by raising the army as a pillar of the socialist cause and the main force of the revolution and enhancing its role. Under his Songun leadership, the KPA has become a matchless army, fully ready for both attack and defence, and the DPRK an invincible powerful state, which has acquired reliable war deterrent.

He led the service personnel to stand in the van of settling economic difficulties and the civilians to create innovation and perform feats of labour in all sectors and units by emulating the former’s indomitable spirit. As a result, even under the severe circumstance Korea has setup a springboard for the building of a thriving nation and opened a bright vista for the opening of the gates of the thriving nation in 2012, the year that marks the centenary of birth of President Kim Il Sung.

Thanks to Kim Jong Il’s outstanding political savvy and historic June 15 North-South Joint declaration(2000) and October 4 Declaration(2007), milestone of Korea’s reunification , were adopted, opening a bright vista for the reunification. With the international position and dignity of Songun Korea being raised day by day , the imperialist encroachment of the DPRK was smashed to pieces, and the world witnessed a surprising event of over 20 countries, including Western ones, establishing diplomatic relations with the country.

The people’s conviction and will that victory and glory are in store for them when they support his leadership single-heartedly have become immutable.

Kim Jong Il’s ennobling personalities and virtues have captured the hearts of Koreans. He consistently administers benevolent politics which moves everybody.

Affection between comrades is unity and the more genuine and ardent the affection is, the more unstained and solid the single-hearted unity becomes-this is his view.

Once he inspected a power station construction project in a northern mountainous area of the country. At that time he paid more attention to the dwelling houses in the part to be submerged that to the building of the power station. He had houses better that the original ones built for the local people, and when moving to the new houses , he sent daily necessities.

Most recently he ordered a helicopters to take off in order to rescue the ten people who had been thrown into danger in the west Sea of Korea while hunting seashells.

It is not accidental that Korean call their leader their father and entrust their destiny entirely to him.

Socialist Korea, where all the service personnel and people are rallied around their leader Kim Jong Il-there is no force in the world that can match the might of this single-hearted unity.

Benevolent Father of People

Kim Il Sung devoted his all to the happiness of the people. He established in the DPRK a people –centred system, where people are masters of everything and everything serves them. The Korean people live happily and harmoniously enjoying the benefits of the 11-year free compulsory education - the highest standard of its kind in the world-universal free medical service , and the abolition of tax.

The President, even at his advanced age of eighty, visited every nook and corner of the country for people’s well-being. When he visited the houses of people, he would look into the rice-pots and woks to acquaint himself with their living as their father would do. He never tolerated whatever would be of inconvenience for people’s life.

His benevolent personality was not limited within the boundary of his country.

Norodom Sihanouk, great King of Cambodia, still calls Kim Il Sung his elder brother, a benefactor, Luiser Rinser, German writer, praised that the Korean President was a man to whom anybody would open his or her heart at first meeting.

Anti-DPRK "Resolution" of UN Human Rights Council Rebuked

A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry Monday gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA as regards the adoption of an anti-DPRK "resolution" at the recent UN Human Rights Council session on March 28, 2011.

Another anti-DPRK "resolution" based on falsity and fabrication was adopted at the 16th Session of the UN Human Rights Council.

Such political swindle, conducted by the U.S. and its followers every year, only invites accusation and irony of the progressive mankind.

The DPRK decisively rejects the adoption of the "resolution", a product of their inveterate denial and hostile policy toward the Korean-style socialist system centered on the popular masses, as the height of politicization and selection of human rights and double standards.

The world is now witnessing inhumane crimes of the "human rights judges" who mercilessly trample upon the sovereignty of an independent state and make indiscriminate raids on the base of its people's life under the signboard of "protection of human rights".

Those forces will surely face a stern punishment by history as they abuse the noble conception of human rights for their sinister political supremacy, not for global peace and wellbeing of mankind.

The more viciously the hostile forces slander the DPRK, the more its people will remain true to the Songun politics, the banner for defence of its sovereignty and prosperity, with the high pride of the ideology and system chosen by themselves.

FM Spokesman on DPRK Ready for Both Dialogue and Confrontation

The U.S. and the south Korean bellicose forces finally kicked off large-scale war exercises against the DPRK, going against the unanimous aspiration and demand of the people at home and abroad for the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.

A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry on March 1, Juche 100 (2011) issued the following statement:

Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises go to prove once again that the U.S. hostile policy to hinder the peaceful development of the DPRK in every way and stifle it by force of arms remains unchanged.

They are the U.S. exercises for a war of aggression against the DPRK to put pressure upon the East of the Asian Continent and thus put the whole of the Korean Peninsula under its military control. They are exercises for a nuclear war involving huge nuclear offensive means of the U.S. now under way according to an operational plan for making a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK.

The U.S. is talking about "provocations" from someone but the on-going joint military exercises cannot but be viewed as provocations. Given the fact that the international community unanimously expresses serious concern over the tense situation on the Korean Peninsula, this saber-rattling is itself a blatant provocation.

The exercises whose purpose is to cope with the "contingency" of somebody and their nature suggests that they are the most serious provocation.

It was expected that south Korea would work hard to torpedo dialogue through all kinds of provocations to keep the confrontation prevailing between the north and the south.

As soon as the present south Korean authorities took power, they denied the reconciliation and cooperation between the north and the south. They are, therefore, under the political burden to justify their policy for escalating the confrontation at any cost till the next elections.

What merits a serious attention is a selfish aim of the U.S. to meet its strategic interests by taking advantage of such intention of the south Korean authorities. The U.S. is contemplating egging the south Korean authorities on to screw up the tension on the Korean Peninsula in a bid to round off the U.S.-Japan-south Korea triangular military alliance and establish military domination over this whole region.

The U.S. responded with its vicious military provocation to the DPRK's proposal for avoiding actions which can be considered by each other as provocations and building confidence through dialogue and negotiations. It is nonsensical and hypocritical for the U.S. to talk about "sincere" dialogue, while kissing the south Korean authorities.

The DPRK has done what it can to make necessary dialogues successful as far as possible without any precondition, not webbed to modality of dialogue, prompted by the single desire to defuse the tension on the Korean Peninsula and ensure peace and stability there. The international community as a whole concerned about the escalating tension in the peninsula and the region is expressing positive support for the peace-loving efforts of the DPRK for dialogue.

The army and people of the DPRK are expressing irrepressible resentment at the U.S. for its high-handed act of staging the large-scale war maneuvers against the DPRK again quite contrary to the trend of the times.

Inevitable is the physical counter-action on the part of the army of the DPRK for self-defence. The hard-won opportunity of dialogue and detente is fading away.

The U.S. should be wholly accountable for all the consequences to be entailed by its military provocations.

The DPRK is ready for both dialogue and confrontation.

The U.S. would be well advised to know well that it would lose more than what it would gain by escalating the military tension on the peninsula.
