STATEMENT ON THE 70TH FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY OF THE HEROIC KOREAN PEOPLES ARMY Stoke On Trent JISGE branch



The Stoke on Trent Branch of the Juche Idea Study Group of Britain greets the Korean people upon the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Korean Peoples Army, the leading force of the Korean Revolution.  On February 8th, 1948 was a decisive date in the history of Korea, when the Korean people acquired their own regular armed forces. This day seventy years ago marks the era when the Korean people armed themselves in defence of their revolutionary gains, protecting their sovereignty and independence under the leadership of KIM IL SUNG.

The origins of the Korean Peoples Army are in the battlefields of Mount-Paketusan and Manchuria when the Anti-Japanese Peoples Guerilla Army was established on April 25th, 1932. It was these immortal revolutionary traditions that the KPA has carried on within its ranks, the traditions produced by the National Hero, General KIM IL SUNG. In the same year of the foundation of the KPA, the first Korean made submachine gun was manufactured by the self-reliant efforts of the Korean working class, putting the basis of an independent munitions industry into place within the DPRK. The KPA was put to the test during the baptism of fire during the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-53) when the DPRK army and people fought the allied forces of US-led imperialism. It was the courage and determination of the KPA under the leadership of the Ever-Victorious, Iron-Willed Brilliant Commander KIM IL SUNG, that the US Imperialist aggressors were beaten on July 27th, 1953. The victory of the KPA was the first time in modern history that US Imperialism had been defeated, thus inspiring the World Revolutionary Peoples in their struggles for national and social liberation.  The slogan "One Matches A Hundred" was raised by President KIM IL SUNG on February 9th, 1963 and has become the lifeblood of the Korean Peoples Army.

KIM JONG IL further strengthened the Korean Peoples Army into a powerful ideological and military force, performing its role as the leading force of the Korean Revolution.  On August 25th, 1960, KIM JONG IL began his Songun Revoutlaionry Leadership while inspecting the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 Guards Tank Division of the Korean Peoples Army. KIM JONG IL put the main emphasis on the building of the KPA while taking command of the KPA's military's operations.  It was under KIM JONG IL's leadership that the US spy ship "Publeo" was captured while entering the DPRK's waters on January 23rd, 1968 and the US imperialists had to admit their crimes to the Korean people.  KIM JONG IL applied the Songun Politics to all areas of DPRK society, thus making the revolutionary soldier spirit prevail. The philosophy of arms as advocated by KIM JONG IL means that the revolution is pioneered, advanced and completed by force of arms. KIM JONG IL's Songun Politics ensured the ideological and military defence of Korean style socialism, and that the cause of independence and justice will be triumphant over the forces of US Imperialism. The place and role of the revolutionary army as been finalized within the historic work of KIM JONG IL entitled "The Songun-Based Revolutionary Line Is A Great Revolutionary Line of Our Era and An Ever-Victorious Banner of Our Revolution".

Under the command of Marshal KIM JONG UN, the Korean Peoples Army are growing stronger each day, with new advances in military science and ideological moulding.  Due to the strategic leadership of KIM JONG UN, the Korean Peoples Army has the most update offensive and defensive weapons at its disposal. The DPRK thanks to the energetic guidance of KIM JONG UN, has become a nuclear weapons' status country, which is respected by friends and feared by its enemies. The ICBMs of Songun Korea can reach any point of the Earth and strike right into the heart of the imperialist enemy's territory.

The members and sympathizers of the Stoke On Trent Juche Idea Study Group branch congratulate the soldiers and officers of the Korean Peoples Army upon the 70th anniversary of its formation. Delegations from the Stoke On Trent Branch have been privileged to have witnessed the steel like unity of the Korean Peoples Army during the military parades of April 2012 and April 2017, these displays were truly awe-inspiring to view the power of Songun based Politics in reality.  The branch calls upon those progressive people struggling for national and social emancipation to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the KPA as an international holiday of independence. We, the branch members are totally convinced that led by the Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN, the Heroic Korean Peoples Army will win the ultimate victory of the Songun Revolution!


 LONG LIVE THE DEAR RESPECTED MARSHAL KIM JONG UN!

GLORY TO THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HEROIC KOREAN PEOPLES ARMY!
