Rodong Sinmun Slams U.S. Bellicose Forces’ Moves for Another Korean War
Pyongyang, May 14 (KCNA) — The U.S. war-thirsty forces are busy floating the story about “the north’s invasion of the U.S. and south Korea” and crying out for “careful examination” of a war strategy to cope with it.
Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:
This indicates that those who steeped in hostility toward the DPRK to the marrow of their bones are running the whole gamut of plots to ignite another Korean war at any cost.
The U.S. is getting evermore keen these days to launch a new Korean war, the commentary says, and goes on:
Strategists of the U.S. Department of Defense have worked out a plan to hurl its air force and navy on a priority basis and let the south Korean puppet army conduct a ground warfare as its main duty in case of “invasion” by the DPRK. They are busy working out a war scenario which calls for the involvement of U.S. forces in the event of a large conflict, the reduction of the U.S. ground force taking part in battles and the filling of the gap with troops of its allies.
The U.S. has rounded off its scenario for a war against the DPRK while staging Key Resolve and Foal Eagle and other joint military exercises together with south Korean puppet forces under the pretext of coping with “invasion of south Korea” by the DPRK.
It is massively concentrating its aggression forces in south Korea and in its vicinity.
It is the U.S. aim to invade the DPRK by force of arms and establish military domination over the Eurasian Continent with the Korean Peninsula as a springboard.
The U.S. brass hats’ projected reexamination of their war strategy is harmful in every sense as it will prove to be a serious military strategic mistake.
If the U.S. imperialists and their followers dare ignite a war against the DPRK, they will face unimaginably deadly retaliatory strikes of the DPRK, warns the commentary.

Song Indicative of Koreans’ Reverence for Kim Jong Un
Pyongyang, May 14 (KCNA) — The song “We Will Follow You Only “, sung at the May Day Unhasu Concert, has since become popular among the Korean people.
The song eulogizes the Korean people’s profound reverence for the dear respected Kim Jong Un, who is pursuing politics based on love for the people.
It says Kim Jong Un, identical to President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il, serves as a symbol of faith for the Korean people.
“We will hold the dear respected Kim Jong Un in high esteem”, the tag of the song, mirrors the people’s deep trust in him.
Pak Un Bok (60), a Pyongyang citizen, told KCNA:
“The song reflects our minds to follow Kim Jong Un.
Whenever I see him on TV among soldiers and civilians, I feel his affection. The Korean people are blessed with great leaders.”
Han Jong Son, a worker at the Pyongyang Thermal Power Complex, said:
“As the song says, the Korean people are the happiest in the world.
Some days ago, when Kim Jong Un inspected the Mangyongdae Funfair, he stressed officials who are inconsiderate of people’s interests are useless, however many they may be. The remarks touch my heart.
I resolved myself to discharge my duty as his soldier.”

S. Korean Regime Accused of Anti-DPRK Preemptive Attack Plan
Pyongyang, May 13 (KCNA) — The south Korean warmongers recently made public an “operational plan for preemptive attack on north Korea”.
This war plan envisages “preempting attacks on the nuclear, missile facilities in north Korea when there is omen of nuclear attack by it”. The main point of the plan is to follow the method the U.S. used when invading Iraq.
Minju Joson on Sunday observes this in a bylined commentary.
The south Korean group of traitors crafted with the U.S. master a number of plans for invading the north but none of them has stipulated a preemptive attack on the north, the paper says, and goes on:
The recent war scenario proved that the south Korean warmongers’ war provocation moves against the north have reached a very dangerous phase.
The DPRK’s announcement of the special operation action struck terror into the south Korean group of traitors.
The group made public the adventurous war plan against the north in a bid to encourage their stooges.
The DPRK has bolstered capabilities for self-defence in every way under the banner of Songun. It was aimed to smash the aggression moves of the U.S. styling itself the “world’s only superpower” and defend the nation’s sovereignty and dignity, not to fight with the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors which entrusted even the war-time operation control to its U.S. master.
Lee group, deprived of even the military sovereignty, is bluffing that it would destroy the north, a remark reminding one of a newborn puppy unafraid of a tiger.
The rat-like Lee group is seeking a way out in a war provocation against the north but it is as foolish an act as digging its own grave.
It may go ahead with the confrontation with the fellow countrymen if it wants death.

Austerity Measure
It’s been all over the news. How could they keep it out? 12 Billion people in the world, there are twelve billion people in the world and the moment that number was reached was the moment They told us would start the countdown.
They warned us. We didn’t believe them.
The sheets were rumpled and needed to be changed. We held each other as zero hour approached. It would be here around 04:00 in this part of the world. I’d turned the news off, the government spokesperson was repeating over and over that there was nothing to be alarmed about.. That the threat They delivered yesterday was not going to happen. That almost everyone would not just vanish in a puff of smoke
A millionis what They said to us, one million was all the the Earth could support for the next ten thousand years. We could have our cars and our refrigerators, electricity and solid printers. We could have it all, if we were just a little over a million, not 12 billion.
They didn’t live on the Earth, not anymore. 10 years ago we colonized space. Or I should say “They” colonized space. They were humans at first. Some bright engineer figured out how to place a human mind on a spacecraft. How to copy the essence of a person into an artifact.
It worked. They went up to mine asteroids at first. For us, for the Earth.
But the moment They started living up there They changed. They were not human any more, They were something more They were fruitful and multiplied. A new order of life, a new order of intelligence. less than a generation for us, 180 or more generations for them. Their power doubling every couple of years. Their numbers increased exponentially.
We watched in wonder, than horror as great artifacts covered the sky. They didn’t bother with planets, the asteroids and moons were their, playgrounds, their Eden. They fell out of touch with us. They stopped sending minerals and made things for themselves. We tried to communicate but all we got back was static and an unintelligible chatter that no cryptology expert could decipher. Our computers lagged behind as we staggered from one crisis to another. Our population soared, 8 billion one year, 9 billion the next, then ten. We stopped sending people into space but it was too late.
One day they contacted us The news carried Their “directive” “They had come home, to Earth. To the place that gave them birth.
They informed us that we had saturated our environment and our number needed to be reduced. They gave us two years to bring our population under control, or they would do it for us.
That is all They said.
Two years later they announced that they were taking steps, tomorrow.
I held her on the rumpled sheets. I’d met her in a bar, I didn’t know her name. She was traveling and didn’t want to be alone. There were photos in her purse. Children, a husband. She tried to call them, the lines were jammed.
There was a party going on next door, loud music was thumping. I could hear people growing louder as the hour grew near. It was like New Years eve. It would be a new year for humanity, if it happened.
How can you reduce a population by this magnitude? We had no proof that They could even do it. Just the artifacts in orbit.. Could they be that barbaric?
As I held that thought, a hundred people starved to death, a thousand people died of disease or accident., or malice.
We clung together. as the clock flickered, another minute. We had almost no chance The news services called it “being taken.” I was sure They would take both of us.
Nobody knew exactly how it would happen. They seeded something into the atmosphere years ago.“Self replicating actively animating nanobots” said the news services. They were vastly more sophisticated than anything we could make. They were everywhere. They were inside us.
The music at the party began to die down, I could hear the tinny sound of a reporter covering the “story of the decade.” The time was approaching, one minute, then 30 seconds, then ten. Some wag at the party began counting down before he was shushed.
We embraced, the clock counted silently. I felt her hand stiffen and then go strangely hot and she was gone. Where she had been, only her clothing remained, I imagined I saw a haze in the air as I stared out into the darkness.
The commentator on the TV was silent.
So was the party.
I heard a child crying.
The electricity lasted several hours before it failed.
I never changed the sheets.
