Of late, a meeting of security section chiefs of south Korea, the US and Japan was held in Hawaii. Mutual assistant plan related to north Korea was discussed at the meeting. Especially, nuclear issue of north Korea was the main issue, and they agreed on reactivation of high-level expansive deterrence strategy consultative group around the middle of September. It is only hysterics of those who are scared off by the tremendous military muscle of north Korea. North Korea is a nuclear power worthy of the name and a military power recognized by the world. Facing up to north Korea is just like the case of kicking against the pricks. War-like forces of south Korea, the US and Japan should be fully aware of who renders the situation of the Korean Peninsula tense and the change of the times before talking about the nuclear issue of north Korea. The tripartite cooperation between south Korea, the US and Japan in pursuant to the US strategy for supremacy would only trigger off strong denunc...

Plan fueling war   The south Korean military is going to make public "2023-2027 national defense medium-range plan" in December. The plan is the one of preparation for war to aggravate the situation of the Korean Peninsula. The military is going to bring "national defense innovation 4.0" to completion and devise the national defense medium-range plan based on it and open to the public. The "national defense innovation 4.0" is aimed at reinforcement to cope with north Korea's nuke and missile threat. In other word, it is establishment of 3k of south Korean style. The "3k of south Korean style" is aimed at removing the source of "north Korea's nuke and missile threat" and beefing up high-intensity and precision strike at the north Korean leadership. It only sparks the anger of south Koreans. The Yoon Suk-yeol regime, which defined north Korea as the "chief enemy" and talked about "preemptive strike" at north Ko...

  It has been seventy-three years since Kim Jong Suk, the anti-Japanese heroine, passed away. She, taking arms in her hands, was a bodyguard who safeguarded President Kim Il Sung politically and ideologically at the risk of her life. She had an infinite fidelity to the President. Regarding defense of the President as her foremost mission and solemn duty, she paid a special attention to the President's safety to perform her duty as a bodyguard at the height of the anti-Japanese armed struggle and after the country's liberation.   She kept the loyalty to the President as her absolute faith and made it her daily business to assist the President. She carried out the President's idea and intention without the slightest changes. She took the thorny path in order to implement the President's idea and line and did not tolerate the slightest manifestations contrary to the President's idea.   Her tireless effort to carry through the President's order and her devotion to c...

Publication of an appeal to people   The Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front on September 3 issued an appeal titled "Let us turn out in a nationwide resistance to throw the ringleader of Yongsan overboard" to south Korean people. South Korea is inflamed with surging indignation against Yoon Suk-yeol who has committed treacherous crimes with his anti-popular policy and south Koreans from various circles turn out in a vigorous action against Yoon, the appeal said and continued. "Yoon, the root of all evils, step down!" and "the Yoon government with incompetent approach, get out of here!" are heard outside the Yongsan presidential office, the National Assembly and across south Korea including Seoul, Busan and Ulsan.     Civil bodies including the People's Sovereignty Solidarity held protest rallies and press conferences and labor organizations including the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions launched vari...

  Japan assumes haughty attitude. The present Japanese ministerial members and the high-ranking members of the ruling party thronged to the Yasukuni Shrine to embellish a war of aggression in the past on August 15. Meanwhile, Japan blustered that south Korea should obtain Japan's approval before making marine survey in the waters of Dok Islet, clamoring Dok Islet, an inviolable territory of Korea, as its own. Great irony is that Japan is inhospitable toward south Korea, styling itself the elder brother of south Korea. The Yoon regime's pro-Japanese sycophantic diplomacy causes Japan's haughtiness.    Yoon Suk-yeol bowed the knee to Japan, the sworn enemy of the Korean nation, prattling the improvement of south Korea-Japan relations. He formed civil and governmental joint committee with the ornery intention to veil the extreme crime against humanity committed by Japan in the past and took an active part in improving south Korea-Japan ties including resumption of shuttle di...

  A few days ago, the Federation of the Korean Women's Association of South Gyeongsang Province held a press conference. At the press conference it said that the Yoon Suk-yeol government defines north Korea as the "chief enemy" and has been hell-bent on nuclear war maneuvers and incites Japan's militarization and reinvasion of the Korean Peninsula improving the south Korea-Japan ties and promoting military bond between south Korea, the US and Japan. Permanent representative of the Association of Women for Peace strongly censured that Ulchii Freedom Shield is the offensive exercise for preemptive strike at north Korea and it is entitled as Ulchii Freedom Shield in a bid to evade the public criticism. They are getting vocal that Yoon Suk-yeol should accept the public punishment with prudence and would face raged public indignation if he turns down the public demand and sings his own praises.  

South Korean people from all walks of life make a sharp criticism of Yoon Suk-yeol who stressed the need for a dignified diplomacy toward China for the national interests but, on the contrary, it entailed only adverse consequences. Yoon availed himself of the US-led establishment of new order to make chilly relations with China, an analyst commented. It gives rise to many questions that Yoon would maintain his stance of the national interests as China's economic retaliation is looming ahead, an analyst said. With his policy of "dependence of security and economy on the US", Yoon stands at a nonplus and it is a due result of political novice's amateur diplomacy, a media source, which asked anonymity, said.

Ever-victorious 70-odd years                   The Democratic People's Republic of Korea marks its 74th founding anniversary on September 9. The DPRK founded by President  Kim Il Sung  on September 9, 1948 was an epoch-making event that a people's power serving the popular masses was born for the first time in history.   The 70 odd years-long history of the DPRK was the course of victory and glory which recorded a heroic epic going with the august names of the peerlessly great persons and the annals of creation and prosperity in which the DPRK has turned into the most superior people-centered socialist state under the excellent guidance of the prominent great men. The President built a socialist power that is independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in defense with his political philosophy "The people are my God" and indefatigable guidance and set a worldwi...

  The Yoon Suk-yeol regime is causing south Koreans uneasiness. Yoon, who promised the additional deployment of THAAD, made his position that he would conclude the process of deployment until next month to put the base into regular operation.     He did not agree with "3 nos" (no additional deployment of THAAD, no participation in the US missile defense system and no engagement in the tripartite military alliance between south Korea, the US and Japan) and "1 limit" (restriction of THAAD operation in south Korea) that the neighboring nations have claimed.   It is clear that south Korea is faced with strong backlash and economic retaliation of the neighboring nations with the deployment of THAAD. Meanwhile, Yoon made definite decision to turn the defense industry into an export-oriented strategic industry and is busy with his efforts to realize it. It only creates the economic crisis and insecurity. It was by no means fortuitous that the south Koreans from various...

  Joint military exercises under various codenames including south Korea-US joint war game Ulchi Freedom Shield against north Korea are being conducted in the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity. Marine drill Pacific Vanguard 2022 is being held with involvement of the US, Australia, Canada, Japan and south Korea in Guam. Meantime, the south Korean air force is going to take part in the large-scale aerial joint drill Pitch Black 2022 to be held in Australia from August 29 and the south Korean army will participate in the joint military game with the US for a month in California, US from the end of August. What is chicanery of Yoon Suk-yeol and the south Korean military to conduct the joint military exercises with different missions? It is to damp down ever-increasing insecurity.   Yoon, clamoring about tightening of the south Korea-US alliance, resumed north Korea-targeting war games in tandem with the US.    The situation of the Korean Peninsula is pushed to the b...

  Of recent, the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration held a press conference in demand of immediate stop of  Ulji Freedom Shield , the south Korea-US joint military drill. Ulji Freedom Shield  is a north Korea-targeted rehearsal, it is entitled as  Ulji Freedom Shield  in a bid to escape public condemnation, they unmasked. The maneuvers assume offensive dimensions as it is being conducted according to OP-5015 which was mapped out for striking on the starting point, preemptive strike, Pyongyang counterattack, landing operation on Wonsan, and so forth, they censured. They went on to assert: The south Korea-US joint military exercise inviting war on the Korean Peninsula should be called off at once. Now showdown must be ceased and hostility ended.     Stop the south Korea-US joint military game for invasion of north Korea!    

  Of late, civic organizations including the Special Committee for Anti-US and Anti-War and the South Headquarters of the Pan-national Alliance for Korea's Reunification held the 51st anti-US monthly meeting to demand suspension of  Ulji Freedom Shield  before the US Embassy in Seoul. Participants strongly accused that OP-5015 is the worst heinous war scenario elaborated for preemptive nuclear strike at north Korea and "beheading operation". The Yoon regime toes hostile policy of the US toward north Korea, all the confrontations against north Korea including the north-targeting military maneuvers should be suspended without delay, they got vocal. The participants expressed their firm will to stage a vigorous struggle against the US, Yoon Suk-yeol and war with the people from all social standings, criticizing that the US with its ambition to clutch hold of supremacy and the Yoon regime with the sinister intention of recovering the plunged approval rating gather the conserv...

  South Korean mass media and experts on north Korean affairs cast the blame on new sanctions against north Korea under discussion by the hostile elements as an unworkable and foolish one.    North Korea has been under constant sanctions, however, north Korea has made their "sanctions" go up in smoke, the south Korean mass media said. It is clear that no sanctions can make sense with north Korea. Numerous sanctions being applied against north Korea prove fruitless.   Now that north Korea has no economic exchange with south Korea, independent sanctions against north Korea is of little avail.    It is obvious that "joint sanctions" and "multipartite sanctions" against north Korea being much touted by the US and Japan are empty talk. It is ridiculous that the south Korean authorities are talking about sanctions unworkable on north Korea, the south Korean mass media commented.
