Foreigners who appreciated the mass gymnastic display in which high ideological and artistic qualities are combined well with physical skills, say that it is a performance vividly showing the true feature of the DPRK united with a single mind and it is a performance with great influence.
"Kisongchanguirok", National Classic
Pyongyang, September 4 (KCNA) -- There are lots of national classics in Korea which have been handed down through generations as national cultural heritage.
Among them is "Kisongchanguirok"(Record of Rousing People of Pyongyang Wall in a Righteous Action).
A book in manuscript compiled to convey the struggle of people in and around Pyongyang against the U.S. imperialist aggressors in the 1860s, it consists of prologue, epilogue, historic records, list of heads of volunteers, etc.
It exposes and denounces the aggressive acts of the USS General Sherman and repeated invasion by another U.S. ship thereafter, measures taken by the government when another U.S. aggressor ship Shenandoah made its appearance and the fact that it fled by decking itself out as a ship seeking the exchange of goods, scared by the resolute attitude of the Korean people and their strong defensive position, and correspondence between the Korean and U.S. sides.
Also carried in the book are writings on colorful functions and ceremonies held to celebrate the victory, feast of Korean soldiers and commemorative poems and lists of names of volunteers and suppliers of military provisions.
The book is a precious national classic recording the modern history of Korea, especially the history of aggression of the U.S. imperialists on Korea.
KCNA Blasts Japan's Moves to Become Military Power
Pyongyang, September 4 (KCNA) -- "Basic Law on Space" reportedly took effect in Japan from August 27.
The "headquarters for space development strategy" was thus formed with the prime minister as its chief and all Cabinet ministers as its members. The enforcement of the law helped expand the application of the principle for the use of the space, once limited to the non-military fields, to the "defense purposes" and legalize the development and launching of all types of satellites and the "Self-Defense Forces'" possession of satellites.
This clearly indicates that the Japanese reactionaries' moves for converting the country into a military giant aimed at getting all armed forces ready for realizing the ambition for reinvasion at any cost by militarizing even the space have been pushed forward at a graver phase under the supervision of the government.
In the past Japan modernized the equipment of the ground, maritime and air SDFs while calling for "building an army" of "an ordinary state" and set it as its strategic goal to put the space under its complete military control.
To this end the Japanese reactionaries have actively stepped up the development of space weapons for the last scores of years and laid a firm ground for space militarization in this course. In the new century it has openly worked hard to round it off. It is also mulling working out a "basic space program", comprehensive guidelines for space development, by next spring and setting up "space department" in the Cabinet Office. It is also considering building a space base by 2015 and emerging "a space superpower" in 2030.
It seeks to emerge a "military power" sooner or later by channeling all human and material resources of the country into comprehensively deploying space weapon system under the uniform guidance of the state and thus use the space, object common to humankind for peaceful use, as a dangerous military base and battlefield.
This is a true aim sought by Japan by putting the "Basic Law on Space" into force.
What should not be overlooked is that Japan has directed utmost efforts into the "development and use" of space while talking about "missile threat" from the DPRK in a bid to attain its purpose.
A typical example of this is the development of spy satellite.
Japan has conducted researches into spy satellite since late in the 1970s and it set up an office in charge of spy satellites in April 2001.
It launched four satellites in 2003 and H-2As equipped with information-gathering satellite and optical satellite in February 2007 and early this year. This helped Japan to photograph all areas of the world every day and successfully gather necessary information by use of several spy satellites.
Japan's spy satellites are monitoring and spying on military facilities, movement of forces, etc in the DPRK and the rest of Northeast Asia down to details while circling at the altitude of 400-600 km in the air above these regions.
This proves that Japan's "space development and use" are designed, in the final analysis, to establish a spy system for accurately monitoring strategic objects in several regions and countries of the world as well as the Korean Peninsula and achieve its wild ambition for mounting a preemptive attack on other countries from the space.
It is by no means fortuitous that the Chinese magazine "World Military Affairs" commented that the real aim sought by Japan is to bolster space forces for a military use and secure conditions for becoming a "military power" under the pretext of the DPRK's missile development.
It is as clear as noonday that Japan's bid to become a military power is to realize its old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere".
Should Japan persist in its frantic moves to convert itself into a military giant through the space militarization, it will be held wholly responsible for all the ensuing consequences.
Anti-DPRK Remarks of Japanese Defense Minister under Fire
Pyongyang, September 4 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the Japanese defense minister disclosed Japan's intention to beef up armed forces and escalate the overseas military operations of the "Self-Defense Forces", painting the DPRK as a "factor of regional instability" and "dangerous force".
Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that this is nothing but provocative outbursts of those seized with the wild ambition for overseas aggression.
It goes on:
The "military threat" from the DPRK touted by Japan is no more than a synonym the Japanese reactionaries like to use when justifying their overseas aggression and the groundwork for shaping and executing Japan's military policy of aggression.
The Japanese reactionaries regained the right to participate in a war and the right of belligerency, thus paving the way for the overseas advance of the SDF under the pretext of coping with the "military threat" from the DPRK. They also worked out a war-time system to mobilize all the manpower and material resources of the country for overseas aggression.
The Japanese reactionaries are getting the SDF ready for conducting a large-scale military operation by itself in any place outside Japan any time while building offensive armed forces to undertake a modern warfare. The only pretext invented by Japan for achieving this purpose is the "military threat" from the DPRK.
Japan is stepping up the reinforcement of its armed forces and rounding up the preparations for reinvasion while raising a hue and cry over the non-existent "military threat" from the DPRK. This is rendering the situation in Northeast Asia unstable and increasing the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula.
The reckless anti-DPRK actions of the militarist maniacs are touching off bitterer hatred for Japan among the servicepersons and people of the DPRK.
The Japanese militarists will not escape the punishment by history if they put spurs to the arms build-up for aggression under the pretext of coping with the non-existent "military threat" from the DPRK and stage a comeback to Korea.

ATCC denuncia peligroso movimiento militar de Japon
Pyongyang, 4 de septiembre (ATCC) -- Segun informaciones, a partir del 27 de agosto en Japon se puso en vigencia la "ley principal del cosmos".
De acuerdo con ella se constituyo la "direccion estrategica de desarrollo cosmico" presidida por el premier e integrada por todos los ministros del gabinete, el principio de utilizacion del cosmos limitado a la rama no militar se extendio al "proposito defensivo" y se legalizaron el desarrollo y el lanzamiento de satelites de toda indole y la posesion de estos de las "fuerzas de autodefensa".
Esto prueba fehacientemente que las maniobras de conversion en potencia militar de los reaccionarios japoneses tendentes a militarizar a toda costa el universo y disponer a perfeccion de las fuerzas armadas necesarias a la realizacion de la ambicion de nueva agresion llegan hoy a la etapa muy grave bajo la direccion del gobierno.
En los tiempos pasados Japon hablando ruidosamente de la "construccion del ejercito" correspondiente al "Estado ordinario" modernizo los pertrechos de las fuerzas terrestres, navales y aereas de "autodefensa", presento la meta estrategica de controlar totalmente y militarizar el espacio cosmico.
Partiendo de tal meta estrategica, los reaccionarios japoneses aceleraron activamente durante decenas de anos el desarrollo de armas cosmicas y en este proceso echaron la firme base para la militarizacion del espacio. En el nuevo siglo maniobran abiertamente para perfeccionarla. Se proponen fijar el "plan cosmico principal" que es la guia general del desarrollo espacial con la meta de instalar la "direccion cosmica" en un ministerio del gabinete para la primavera del ano proximo y construir la base cosmica para el ano 2015 y convertirse en "superpotencia cosmica" para el ano 2030.
Mas tarde o temprano Japon se propone disponer de la "fisonomia" de "potencia militar" al desplegar generalmente el sistema de armamento espacial poniendo los recursos humanos y materiales del pais bajo el mando unificado del Estado e intenta convertir en la peligrosa base militar y campo de guerra el espacio cosmico que es objeto de uso pacifico comun de la humanidad.
Esto es la verdadera intencion de las autoridades japonesas que pusieron en vigencia la "ley principal del cosmos".
Lo que no se puede pasar por alto es que Japon enfoca colosal fuerza al "desarrollo y utilizacion" del universo pretextando de la "amenaza de misil" de la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea a fin de realizar su proposito.
Un ejemplo de ello es el desarrollo del satelite de reconocimiento.
Desde finales de la decada de 1970 Japon realizo la investigacion del satelite de reconocimiento y en abril de 2001 instalo la oficina del satelite de reconocimiento.
En el ano 2003 lanzo 4 satelites y en febrero de 2007 y a principios del presente ano lanzo el cohete "H-2A" cargado del satelite de recogida de informaciones y del satelite optico. Asi Japon llego a contar con varios satelites de espionaje capaces de filmar diariamente todas las regiones del mundo y recoger suficientes informaciones necesarias.
Hoy dia los satelites de reconocimiento de Japon giran en el espacio aereo de 400 a 600 kilometros de altura para vigilar las instalaciones militares y el traslado de fuerzas armadas de la RPDC y la region del Nordeste Asiatico.
Esto demuestra que el objetivo peligroso del "desarrollo y utilizacion del universo" de Japon reside en realizar la ambicion del ataque preventivo en el espacio cosmico al estructurar el sistema idoneo para realizar la vigilancia precisa sobre los objetos estrategicos de la Peninsula Coreana y de varias regiones y paises del mundo.
No es casual que la revista china "Asuntos militares mundiales" comento que la verdadera intencion de Japon es disponer de las condiciones para ir a la "potencia militar" al fortalecer mas las fuerzas cosmicas para uso militar so pretexto del desarrollo del misil de Corea.
Es obvio que la conversion en potencia militar de Japon es para realizar su antiguo sueno de la "esfera de coprosperidad de gran Asia Oriental".
Japon debe asumir la entera responsabilidad de todas las consecuencias que emanen de sus freneticas maniobras encaminadas a convertir en la potencia militar a traves de la realizacion de la militarizacion cosmica.
