Kim Jong Il, incarnation of revolutionary obligation
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Andria Velonandro Anselme, chairman
of the Madagascan
National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, released a statement on
the subject "Epoch-making
event in Korea" on Sept. 11 in the wake of the repatriation of unconverted
long-term prisoners.
Epoch-making events shocking the world are taking place in Korea one
after another, he said, and
continued:
Since he took back unconverted long-term prisoner Ri In Mo to the north
the great leader Kim Jong
Il has taken wise measures to bring back home all the unconverted long-term
prisoners remaining in the
south.
This shows that Kim Jong Il with warm love and comradely obligation to
revolutionary soldiers
spares nothing for like-minded soldiers who entrust their destinies to the
party and follow it on the road
of revolution.
That is why the unconverted long-term prisoners unanimously said that
they could unyieldingly
keep their revolutionary faith and principle behind the bars and proudly
come back to the embrace of
Kim Jong Il to glorify human dignity and life because they had firm
conviction that the motherland
watched them and Kim Jong Il would take them back to home.
All these events in Korea are attributed to Kim Jong Il who takes care
of the whole nation with his
peculiar benevolent politics and all-embracing politics.
KCNA on Ishihara's outbursts
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Kinhide Mushakoji, director of the
board of the International
Institute of the Juche Idea, on a visit to Korea, said that his. Korea
visit brought the validity and vitality
of the Juche idea home to him.
Saying that the Juche idea is being disseminated and studied on a
worldwide scale, he noted that it
is, indeed, the greatest guiding idea of the present times.
He went on:
The Juche idea is the most correct guideline indicating the road that
should be followed by
progressive humankind.
This great idea will remain forever a banner of sure victory on the
road of the cause of
independence.
Juche idea, greatest guiding idea
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Tokyo Metropolitan Governor Ishihara
reportedly let loose
outbursts again to fan up militarism on Sept. 14.
He said that the "three principles of arms export" banning and
restricting the arms export of Japan
are "foolish rules," "it is a guarantee for security in different respects
to sell arms and it is good for
Japan to develop its own arms."
Ishihara with militarism and ultra-nationalism imprinted in his mind
criticized the "three principles
of arms export" and insisted on the "justification" of arms export and laid
stress on the development of
ultra-modern weapons, which is not accidental.
This indicates that the moves of the ultra-right wing forces of Japan
and their political influence
presented themselves in the political arena as the main source of actual
threat which evokes serious
apprehensions.
The Japanese authorities did not care a fig for the militarist
outbursts of Ishihara and others,
regarding them as an "expression of personal view" with no political and
practical danger.
As developments show, however, the embellishment of the history of the
past aggression is now
assuming official character along with the outbursts of Ishihara and arms
buildup aiming to become a
military giant is being stepped up as a policy in Japan.
These facts show that the blast of Ishihara is not a personal remark
but represents the intention of
the political forces who are hell bent on taking systematic and legal
measures to legalize the militarism of
Japan and formulates their immediate target.
The Japanese reactionaries should act with discretion, mindful that
their reckless militarist moves
lead to destruction.
Moves of Japan Defense Agency to deploy F-2 fighters denounced
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- The Defense Agency of Japan decided to
deploy F-2 support
fighters, which may conduct aerial operations on the Korean peninsula, to
the air "Self-Defense Force."
Commenting on this decision, Rodong Sinmun today warns that if the
Japanese reactionaries
reinvade Korea at any cost, they will get nothing but ruin.
The news analyst goes on:
It is very dangerous that the Japanese reactionaries decided to deploy
F-2 fighters after examining
the plan for air raids on "a missile-launching site" in the DPRK by use of
the planes.
They are seeking to reinvade Korea, reiterating rapid and effective
"countermeasures" in
"emergencies in the areas surrounding Japan" including "an emergency on the
Korean peninsula." Their
moves are going beyond the limit line, assuming unprecedented nakedness and
feasibility.
What they intend is to make a forestalling attack on the DPRK by force
of arms. Japan always says
it hopes the relaxation of tension and peace on the Korean peninsula. It is
a sheer lie and a camouflage to
cover up its attempt to reinvade Korea.
The Japanese reactionaries' move to deploy F-2 support fighters
focussing on the Korean peninsula
is a danger signal of reinvasion. The Japanese militarists' reinvasion of
Korea is a matter of time.
But, we are not afraid of it. We are fully ready to counter any attack.
DPRK catches Olympic weightlifting silver medal
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- DPRK weightlifter Ri Song Hui won the
silver medal in the
women's 58kg division of weightlifting at the 27th Olympiad in Sidney on
Sept. 18.
She lifted a total of 220 kg (97.5 snatch and 122.5 jerk).
Japan warned to act with discretion
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed
commentary denounces Japan
for conducting "keen activities" to use the UN Millennium Summit and the UN
General Assembly
session as a stage for realizing its political purpose.
The Japanese Prime Minister at the UN Millennium Summit talked about
Japan's "financial
contributions" to the UN and called for adopting a gradual formula for the
reform of the UN Security
Council.
And he met with leaders of some developing countries and asked them to
support Japan's "hope" to
become permanent membership of the security council and its stand toward
the UN reform.
Meanwhile, Japanese diplomats and bureaucrats have visited many
countries and asked them to vote
for Japan's bid to take a permanent seat on the UNSC in return for "aid"
and went the length of
"threatening" the UN to cut financial expenditure if it does not give a
permanent seat.
This is a despicable act aimed to buy the permanent seat of the UNSC
with money, the commentary
notes, and goes on:
Permanent membership of the UNSC is the responsible position that
should adopt fair decisions on
behalf of the interests of all regions and countries around the world.
It is preposterous that such a country as Japan, which committed crimes
unprecedented in human
history and has not yet settled it even at the turn of century, becomes a
permanent member of the
UNSC.
It is too impudent behaviour making a mockery of the international
community and human
conscience that Japan attempts to take a responsible UN position with a few
money.
Japan should abandon its way of thinking that money decides everything.
If Japan wants to be a full-fledged member of the international
community it should act with
discretion, mindful what it should do.
Preparatory committees formed abroad
Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Preparatory committees were
inaugurated in Thailand and
Uganda to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the Worker's Party of Korea.
At an inaugural meeting held in Bangkok on Sept. 12 Krasae Chanawongse,
director of the board
of the International Institute of the Juche Idea, was elected chairman of
the committee.
The committee decided to hold various functions such as a lecture
meeting, a rally and a seminar to
celebrate the anniversary.
At an inaugural meeting held in Kampala on Sept. 11 the chairman of the
Kampala city committee of
the National Movement of Uganda was elected chairman of the national
preparatory committee.
The committee set a month of celebrations from Sept. 11 to Oct. 10 and
decided to organize a
meeting, seminar, lecture meeting and other multifarious functions during
the period.

atcc comenta declaracion arrogante de ishihara
pyongyang, 19 de septiembre (atcc) -- segun una informacion, ishihara,
gobernador de la metropoli
de tokio preso del militarismo y el ultranacionalismo volvio a propagar
militarismo el dia 14 del actual.
califico de "estupidos" los "tres principios de exportacion de armas"
que prohiben y restringen esta
exportacion en el japon y peroro de que el "vender armas es asegurar la
seguridad en varios aspectos" y
"es bueno para el japon explotar su propia arma".
no es casual el hecho de que esta vez ishihara al censurar de modo
abierto los "tres principios de
exportacion de armas" justifico la exportacion de armas y el desarrollo de
armas de punta.
esto insinua que hoy las maquinaciones de las fuerzas ultraderechistas
del japon y su influencia
politica son, en la escena politica, una amenaza que engendra gran
preocupacion.
las autoridades japonesas han despreciado hasta la fecha palabrerias
militaristas de ishihara y otros
tipejos calificandolas de "expresion del criterio individual" carente del
peligro politico y realista.
pero, como demuestra la evolucion de la situacion, hoy en el japon se
desarrollan oficialmente los
actos de embellecer la historia de agresion del pasado y se promueve como
una politica el aumento
armamentista para la conversion del japon en la potencia militar.
tal hecho demuestra que la declaracion arrogante de ishihara no es de
un individuo sino refleja la
voluntad de las fuerzas politicas que se afanan en la preparacion de las
medidas institucionales y
juridicas para legalizar la militarizacion del japon y es formulacion de la
meta inmediata de estas fuerzas.
los reaccionarios japoneses deben actuar con prudencia bien conscientes
de que sus conjuras
temerarias para la militarizacion les traeran la ruina definitiva.
