GNP's Traitorous "Human Rights" Racket under Fire

    Pyongyang, December 28 (KCNA) -- The "human rights" racket kicked up by the south Korean ultra-right conservative forces including the "Grand National Party" against the north is an unpardonable treacherous criminal act to incite antagonism and confrontation between the south and the north and do harm to the fellow countrymen in the north according to the U.S. script to isolate and stifle it. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary. The commentary goes on:
    The pro-U.S. forces of south Korea including the GNP kicked up a row over the non-existent "human rights issue" in the north at the instigation of the U.S. Not content with this, they have become desperate in their smear campaign by staging what they called "international conference." It is really deplorable and ridiculous for them to do so.
    What merits a more serious attention is that their "human rights" racket is timed to coincide with the U.S. recent frantic "human rights" offensive against the DPRK.
    It is disgusting and resentful for these forces to dance to the tune of foreign forces, not knowing what human rights are like, bereft of the consciousness of being Koreans and sensitivity to the times. This despicable action can be taken only by the group of traitors who seek a way out in slandering and doing harm to fellow countrymen.
    They are completely steeped in the American-style view on the value of "human rights," while serving the U.S., having neither proper opinion nor political principle. It is imprudent and ridiculous for these elements to dare impose this view on the north.
    There is no need to argue that the "human rights" offensive launched by them with the backing of the U.S. is aimed at "overthrowing the system" in the north. But they are seriously mistaken.
    The south Korean ultra-right conservative forces had better cool their heads overheated with their "human rights" racket against the north and behave prudently.


Rodong Sinmun on Establishing Juche in Ideological Work

    Pyongyang, December 28 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the 50th anniversary of the publication of President Kim Il Sung's famous work "On Eliminating Dogmatism and Formalism and Establishing Juche in Ideological Work". Clarified in the work are the principled issues to be held fast to with all consistency by the working-class party in deepening its ideological work and leading the revolution and construction ranging from the necessity for thoroughly eliminating flunkeyism and dogmatism and establishing Juche to the ways of doing so.
    The article goes on:
    In the course of applying the ideas, theories and policies laid down in the work the Korean people have maintained the viewpoint and stand of thinking and practicing everything, placing the Korean revolution above anything else, and settling all the issues by their wisdom and efforts, fully aware that they are the master of the revolution and construction. The work is an immortal one of historic significance in firmly preserving the tradition of the Korean revolution and achieving its victorious advance.
    Kim Il Sung's idea on eliminating dogmatism and formalism and strictly establishing Juche in the ideological work has been successfully carried forward and its validity and vitality are being fully proved day by day under the wise guidance of Kim Jong Il.
    Establishing Juche in the ideological work under socialism presents itself as a very important issue related to the cause of socialism and the destiny of humankind.
    Kim Jong Il has led the cause of the Korean revolution to a proud victory by successfully carrying forward and developing in depth the tradition of establishing Juche provided by Kim Il Sung and exploits performed by him.
    The struggle to establish Juche has reached a new stage in the Songun era when the great Songun idea is being applied to all fields. It is thanks to this idea that the Korean people have been the great people having high national pride and strong revolutionary confidence generation after generation.

Rodong Sinmun denuncia a fuerzas conservadoras surcoreanas

    Pyongyang, 28 de diciembre (ATCC) -- El "partido Hannara" y otras fuerzas conservadoras ultraderechistas del Sur de Corea arman alboroto de "derechos humanos" contra la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea. Esto es un intolerable crimen antinacional para inculcar la hostilidad y la confrontacion con esta y perjudicar a sus coterraneos segun un guion norteamericano de aislamiento y aplastamiento.  Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 28 y prosigue:
     El "partido Hannara" y las fuerzas proyanquis del Sur de Corea, a instigacion de EE.UU., organizaron hasta la "conferencia internacional" no bastandoles con difundir el "problema de DDHH" de la RPDC, lo cual es un proceder absurdo y miserable.
     Pero, tal alboroto reviste la gravedad porque se coincide con la frenetica campana similar de EE.UU.
     La locura de ellos nos produce la repugnancia y la indignacion.
     Tal acto repugnante solo es propio del grupo de traidores que busca una salvacion en difamar y denigrar a los connacionales.  Es ridiculo que ellos, sin tener su criterio politico y sirviendo de titere de EE.UU., se atreven a inculcarnos la concepcion norteamericana de valor de "DDHH" al cabo de colmarla en sus tuetanos.
     Con tal ofensiva ellos pretenden "derrocar el sistema de la RPDC", pero se equivocan.
    Las fuerzas conservadoras ultraderechistas del Sur de Corea deben enfriar su cabeza calentada por tal designio y actuar con prudencia.

    Al materializar la idea, la teoria y la orientacion senaladas en la obra, el pueblo coreano, con la firme conciencia del dueno de la revolucion y la construccion, llego a tener la concepcion y la posicion de proyectar y practicar poniendo en el enfoque de todos las deliberaciones la revolucion coreana y resolver todos los problemas con su inteligencia y fuerzas. La obra reviste el significado historico para defender con firmeza la arteria de la revolucion coreana y lograr su avance victorioso.
     La idea de eliminar el dogmatismo y el formalismo y establecer el Juche en la labor ideologica senalada en la obra la lleva adelante el Dirigente Kim Jong Il y con el paso de tiempo se manifiestan plenamente su justeza y vitalidad.
     Hoy, establecer el Juche en la labor ideologica socialista se presenta como un problema muy importante relacionado con la causa del socialismo y el destino de la humanidad. El Dirigente hereda y profundiza las tradiciones y proezas del Presidente en materia del establecimiento del Juche y conduce a la victoria nuestra causa revolucionaria.
     La labor para el establecimiento del Juche llega a una nueva etapa en la epoca actual del Songun (priorizacion militar) en que se materializa globalmente la gran idea del Songun. Por esta ideologia, el pueblo coreano tiene la alta dignidad nacional y orgullo revolucionario de siglo en siglo, de generacion en generacion.
