• Juche Korea: 75 Years for Independence, Justice and Defense of Peace

Dear friends!

Dear comrades!

On this occasion I want to remind us all, how the liberation of the fatherland came to be Respected President Kim Il Sung was a brave guerilla fighter since the eary years of his life. He dedicated his life to the liberation of the Korean nation.

Western powers like the UK and USA supported the Japanese colonisation of the Korean peninsula. The people were enslaved and suffered in unimaginable manner. Resistance formed. A communist movement came to be, but it was without Comrade Kim Il Sung and the Juche Idea. Factionalism was a huge problem. Some wanted to get recognition by the COMINTERN, completely ignoring the Korean situation at the time and koutouing to the USSR. Infight was the result. Self proclaimed communists fought each other more vicious than the Japanese fasists and their puppets. More so, they even used the Japanese police to betray each other.

Needless to say, this early communist uprising failed. Then Comrade Kim Il Sung founded various communist movements, like the Down-With-Imperialism Union, the Anti-Japanese People`s Guerilla Army, the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland, the Workers Party of Korea, and many more In Kalun in 1930, he put forward the Juche-oriented revolutionary line, strategy and tactics. Since he knew where factionalism leads to, education and training of the population, guerillas and officials of various organisation was at the center of Comrade Kim Il Sungs political work and guerilla struggle since the early days. It remained vital throughout the Anti-Japanese Armed Struggle, the Korean Socialist Revolution, the Fatherland Liberation War and to this day.

On September 9 1945, the USA declared the Korean peninsula below the 38th parallel their colony, stationed troops and military machinery there and installed a puppet regime. While in the northern part, the people, in deep love and trust for Comrade Kim Il Sung, elected him Head of State. The USSR had no telling in this process. The people became the true masters of their destiny for the first time in a long time!

So the comparison makes the DPRK shine while the puppet regime in the south is filled with shame to the brim. Also: The DPRK sought peaceful reunification right from the start, while the Sungman Rhee-clique betrayed the masses, smashed resistance and slaughtered people in the thousands, to stay in power and keep their overlords from the USA happy. Also they started war preparations right from the start. The USA poured military equipment into the country and started provocations at the border, which was not much more than a line on the map at that time.

Due to this, it was easy for the puppet army, to intrude into the DPRK, take out various military operations and leave again, hoping the leadership of the DPRK would lose nerve and attack. Since that never happened, the Sungman Rhee-clique snapped and started the war by attacking the north on June 26 1950. Underestimating the strenth of the KPA guided by the invincible Juche-Idea, defense was organised at once and the attack was pulverised. But the USA got their way: A war in Korea.

I want to remind everyone of the unique and vital Chongsan-Ri Spirit and Chongsan-Ri Method. Shortly spoken, officials from communal level up to the Primeminister and Chairman of the WPK visit agricultural sites, production plants, contruction sites etc. to see with their own eyes the successes and problems occuring, talk to the people there, give guidance, join them in their daily work, and receive thoughts and ideas, suggestions for improvements and problems to be solved at higher levels. So it is a true bilateral system of learning and guidance from workers to leadership and the other way around. Unthinkable in a capitalist society, where criticism is unwanted and even punished.

Patriotism and true love for the motherland are corner stones of Korean Socialism since the Anti-Japanese Armed Struggle. This is important to understand, since the south of Korea is still a colony of US-Imperialism ruled by a fascist puppet clique.

The separation created by the USA and Japan is maintained to this day, to form a footing for US-Imperialism in southeast Asia. Plans for peaceful reunification lie on the table since the 1970s. Unification work has been done since the USA viciously cut the nation in half in  September 1945. Like Japan, Chinese Taipeh, Guam and others, the US-Imperialists want to keep their colonies intact and in case of Korea want to extend it over the whole nation to oppress the people, plunder the land and smash Korean Socialism to move on to the PRC later on.

I have some thoughts for you dear listener. Personally and directly.

We must get educated and tear down the walls of lies built around us to prevent us from learning the truth about Korea and sharing it with our fellow people. The „news“ out there are mostly pure fiction and propaganda to keep you uninformed tools of the will of the ruling class. That's what the so-called „media“ are for. Not information, but manipulation.

What can you do about it? Read books, get active in communities, ask questions. When you are called a useful idiot, always know it comes from a useful idiot. A true one.

Once you start learning, your worldview won't be black and white anymore. It will get colourful. Don't lose hope when things suddenly become complicated and difficult, easy answers are provided for simple minds to keep them dumb and useful. So living in a complex world is a sign of awakening and a good thing.

Understand that others have not reached your level of understanding yet, while others are ahead of you. Be respectful, try to learn from experienced comrades while patiently educating those who still believe government lies and fairy stories from so-called „defectors“ who mostly are just petty grifters who make money by telling crazy stories.

Partly because they are degenerate criminals, partly because they are kept hostage in the south and forced to tell lies.

Stay critical!
Stay brave!
US-Imperialists out of Korea NOW!
The truth always prevails!
Long live the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea!
Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un manse!
