Pickets At South Korean And US Embassies

For Bolshevism-AUCPB | 12.03.2010 10:15 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Terror War

The UK Korean Friendship Association has called a picket of the both the US and
south Korean embassies on Monday 15th of March in protest at the continuing war excercises in South Korea jointly with US military

DETAILS OF TIME AND LOCATION OF PICKETS

2pm-3-30pm SOUTH KOREAN EMBASSY 60 Buckingham Gate Victoria SW1

4-30-6pm US EMBASSY, Grosvenor Sq

The US and south Korean warmongers are staging again the joint
military exercises codenamed “Key Resolve” and “Foal Eagle” aimed at the
invasion of north Korea from March 8 to 18 throughout south Korea despite
the unanimous opposition of all the Korean people and the world
peace-loving people desirous of a lasting peace and security of the Korean
Peninsula and Korea’s reunification.

Participating in these aggressive war drills are 10 000 US troops
stationed in south Korea and 8 000-strong reinforcements from the US
overseas military bases, totaling 18 000, and a huge number of the south
Korean puppet army.

As an undeniable evidence to the hostile policy toward the DPRK and the
inter-Korean confrontational policy pursued by the US and the south Korean
regime, the upcoming drills will drive the already aggravated inter-Korean
relations to a catastrophe and further exacerbate the showdown and tension
on the Korean Peninsula posing a sever threat to peace and security of not
only the north East Asian region but also the rest of the world.

As these drills are to be conducted at the time when the DPRK offered an
important proposal to conclude a peace treaty for establishing a durable
peace mechanism in the Korean Peninsula this year that marks the 60th year
of breakout of the Korean war, and exerts sincere efforts to realize it
and actively strives to improve the inter-Korean relations, their
dangerousness and consequences are rendered more grave.

The reality clearly shows that the US and south Korean war maniacs don’t
want peace of the Korean Peninsula nor the improved inter-Korean
relations, and what they pursue is only confrontation and war.

They should stop at once the provocative “Key Resolve” and “Foal Eagle”
war drills and abandon the arms buildup, mindful of the catastrophic
consequences to be entailed by their reckless war provocation moves.

The US is well advised to daringly discard its hostile policy to stifle
the DPRK and come out to the negotiating table to conclude a peace treaty
aimed at replacing the cease-fire of the Korean Peninsula with a lasting
peace mechanism.

The south Korean war fanatics should not take part in the confrontational
moves against the compatriots and aggressive war provocations in collusion
with the foreign forces, but take a resolute measure to improve the
inter-Korean relations in accordance with the trend of the times and the
desire of the fellow countrymen.

Now the south Korean people from different social segments denounce the
projected war drills as overt provocation to all the compatriots and world
peace-loving people desirous of peace, and never-to-be-pardoned challenge
which would bring about a nuclear war to the Korean Peninsula , and
vigorously wage the struggle against the US and war and for defending
peace.

We call on all people and all those who pays deep attention to the
peace of the Korean Peninsula and render firm support to the
reunification cause of the Korean people, to take part in the above said pickets/ solidarity actions in condemnation of the war moves to invade the DPRK by the US imperialist and south Korean warmongers.

Statement by All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks

Menacing U.S. imperialism has made remarkable efforts to ignite the flames of war on the Korean peninsula and to destroy the freedom-loving, independent and courageous people of the DPRK, successfully building their own prosperous socialist state.

Our party fully agrees with the judgements of the General Staff of the KPA and the NDC of the DPRK on the culprits of an explosive situation, which has re-emerged on the Korean peninsula. We fully support the DPRK's steps taken to defendt the independence and sovereignty of their country. Americans probably have forgotten the lessons of the Great Fatherland Liberation War 1950-1953 and try again to embark on a dangerous adventure – to "test" the strength of the socialist system, the monolithic unity of the DPRK people around their political party leadership, which, unlike the former leadership of the CPSU - USSR, which surrendered the country and the people to the enemy, the close-knit unity with the heroic people will do everything to defend the honour, freedom and independence of the DPRK.
An attempt by the U.S. to unleash a war against North Korea could trigger the beginning of a third world war and the inevitable downfall of civilization. The financial movers of the US are trying to save agonizing imperialism, via the outbreak of another world war, ignoring the fact that while no one can escape – there will be no winners!
We call upon world public opinion, the working people of all countries to act decisively against another criminal adventure by the ruling elite of the U.S. and those governments that are allied with the United States who are acting against their own people. This, alas, includes the Government of Russia.

OK no war games are good. But you really should post your crap somewhere else where it might be appreciated. Is there a discussion forum for supporters of dictators?

It really would be more worthwhile picketing the north korean embassy asking them to stop their human rights abuses, stop spending money on nuclear and conventional weapons and spend some time caring for their own people.

Of course the tin pot dictatorship that runs the country would rather send out for Austrian food while his [people eat tree bark.

Kim Jong ILL

@Kim you worship brown nosing the idea of North Korea "opening up"

12.03.2010 15:31

Oh so now i gotta expound my views to yet another cop or NIS agent on indymedia. Go fuck off idiot who has no idea about the DPRK beside the shit you suck up from western sources, including south korean ones. So you wanna see North Korea "open up " to the west, eh? With all the niceties we have, eh? Hey you aint in a position judge North korea unless your willing to openly study it from "outside the box".....I say let the Koreans decide how they want to live.....while you can sit and twaddle on indymedia over human rights "abuses" in North Korea.....abuses like.what? ..free education, free housing, full employment? What human rights abuses do you know about in North Korea apart from the shit you fill yer head with from amnesty,etc.....yea and if their sorry arses were banned from entering the DPRK, then how the fuck did they have "their" "evidence"? From south korean NIS? Yea you probably work for them. And if North Korea got nukes, then its wake up time for the US coz they wont go in like they do everywhere else.

"I say let the Koreans decide how they want to live..."

12.03.2010 16:01

Thats the point Chung, they can't decide how they want to live cos they is in a dictatorship, no freedom of movement, no freedom of press, no freedom of expression.. you followin my drift little man?

"they can't decide how they want to live cos they is in a dictatorship, no freedom of movement, no freedom of press, no freedom of expression"

You mean, a lil bit like the way we live here?
Seriously though......this is not just a case of human rights...its an ideological political question.....Anarchists are bound not to love the system of north korea even without the "exesses" the west love to trumpet on about. Some "communists" also have reservations..... Bolsheviks have no doubts at all......Anyway in this case we are talking about protesting war drills which could esculate an already tense situation there.... Ifthe US and South koreans sincerly want peace tehywould drop their acts of provocative aggression and get to the table and sign a peace treaty ending the Korean War and have Billateral talks with the US. the US has been refusing to. Its a long complicated history on the Korean peninsula and where the cold war is raging to this very day.
People have varying opinions on North Korea, thats understandable....some for , some against. I personally would prefer a "dictaorship" like that rather than a dictarship like we have...the power of money. Maybe they actually are trully freer than us in some respects....except they are surrounded by those who want to restore capitalism. They have their soverighnty and independence......at a price...an on going trade blocade.....they would spend less money on weapons.......they would love to.....but when you are face by US and south korean nukes justover the other side of a wall that divided Korea in two...a wall incidently built by the US....well maybe lets try looking at things from their angle...even if only for a minute. Look at south korea.....is that a free regime? No....its a facist one with a lil tinpot dictator. In the case of the war drills insouth korea, this is supported by all peacelvong people of the world, even if some have reservations about north korea. I think support for all Koreans is a good thing. if the north koreans dont like the way they live, they can change it.....its not a casr of ......"oh they are tooo scared to" thats bullshit ia m afrd man. Like was said earlier....unless people are truly willing to study tha situation from ALL sides including the north korean side.....i am afraid we are only gettiing half the picture..... i think it would be good if people took an objective look at it....

It is the US who stop Koreans deciding their future

13.03.2010 08:02

It is not the DPRK and the Workers Party of Korea that stop the Korean people deciding their own future but the Yankee imperialists.They committed the crime of dividing Korea in two simply by a
US army officer drawing a line on a map.When the US imperialists landed in south Korea in September 1945(weeks after it had been liberated on August 15) one of their first actions was to
dissolve the peoples committees that had been set up whereas in the north these became the
basis of popular power and led to the creation of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea in
1948.The DPRK was formed as a result of a north-south general election with 98% of people in the
north voting and 77% of people in the south.
Today in the DPRK elections have a virtual 100% turnout (unlike
the low turnouts in imperialist countries)and 100% affirmative vote,thus the DPRK is based on
popular support.People participate in the running of society at all levels.The DPRK's guiding ideology the Juche idea asserts that masses are the masters of the revolution and construction.It is an ideology of human liberation that needs to be studied in depth in the West.
Recent visitors to the DPRK including myself did not see anyone eating tree
bark as alleged.Indeed in 2008 there was a bumper harvest in the DPRK which I saw with my
own eyes.Food and housing are supplied to the population in the DPRK at low cost or
free.As to the individual who spoke of "Austrian food",hello dont you know there are UN
sanctions against the DPRK forbidding the export of luxuries to the DPRK !
Some people have been posting recycled lies about the DPRK from the imperialist corporate media and south Korean sources in order to distract from the fact of the US imperialist occupation of south Korea.The US troops in south Korea enjoy 'extra territorial' privilieges which means they go can go around raping and killing south Koreans but not be tried by a south Korean court.The US keeps 1,000 nuclear weapons in south Korea the high density of nukes in the world.The US also forces south Korea to pay millions of dollars towards the
'upkeep' of US troops in south Korea.This is theft and exploitation by the US
The south Korean regime is a creation of the US and is a puppet of the
US.Some posters have criticised the DPRK over human rights but ignore the decades of fascist rule in south Korea by dictators such as Syngham Rhee,Park Chung Hee,Chun Do Hwan and Rogh Tae Woo.5,000 south Koreans were killed in the city of Kwangju in May 1980 on the orders of the US.The "National Security Law" means that south Koreans can be jailed for a minimum of 7 years for expressing pro DPRK or pro communist sentiments.Leaders of the Revolutionary Party for Reunification,the Strategic Liberation party and Peoples Revolutionary Party were murdered by the fascist regime in the 60s and 70s.Today the Lee Myong Bak clique is cracking down on pro reunification patriotic forces and there have been many arrests in recent months.

"Foal Eagle" and "Key Resolve" are dangerous and adventurous war exercises against the
DPRK aimed at starting a war and invading the DPRK.All those who value peace should
oppose these exercises.
STOP FOAL EAGLE AND KEY RESOLVE!
US OUT OF KOREA!
KOREA IS ONE!
DISSOLVE THE SOUTH KOREAN "MINISTRY OF UNIFICATION"
DISSOLVE THE SOUTH KOREAN "NATIONAL INTELLIGIENCE SERVICE"

Statement from Korean Committee For Solidarity with the World People

13.03.2010 13:54

From the Korean Committee for Solidarity with the World People!

As you know well, The U.S. and south Korean authorities finally kicked off nuclear war exercises aimed at mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK defying its repeated warning and the concern of the international community.

This fact indicates that though the U.S. is talking in front about the dialogue and cooperation, there is no change in the U.S. administration’s ambition to suffocate the DPRK with the military power.

The U.S. bellicose forces have recently decided to deliver a lot of ultra-modern sea patrol planes to south Korea within this year.

The relevant measures are now being implemented. They claim that the deployment of such planes in south Korea is aimed at boosting what they call “combat capability,’ adding that this would render it possible to make long-range and precision strikes at the military targets of the DPRK.

This is a revelation of a war scenario of those who are keen to ignite another Korean war at any cost and pot the whole of Korea under their control. Though this war the U.S. imperialists seek to boost the offensive capability of the U.S. forces present in south Korea and the south Korean forces and round off the preparations for a war.

Timed to coincide with the deployment of the above-said ultra-modern sea patrol planes, the U.S. and the south Korean forces are staging madcap Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises.

The U.S. bellicose forces describe the exercises as “annual drills” and “defensive ones” but this is nothing but hypocritical rhetoric intended to cover up the offensive and aggressive nature of the exercises and their danger. The on-going exercises have rendered the situation on the Korean Peninsula so tense that it is beyond control and the military confrontation has gone into extremes.

The situation made it clearer that the U.S. is not in a position to ensure peace and realize denuclearization on the peninsula and build confidence between the DPRK and the U.S.

The U.S. is busy beefing up its forces and staging war exercises targeted at the dialogue partner while paying lip service to the “dialogue” with an ace to grind. This is nothing but crafty and brazenfaced double dealing tactics to achieve its criminal purpose with ease from a carrot-and-stick approach.

The DPRK, to stop the tense situation on the Korean Peninsula , has strongly requested to the U.S. not to wage the joint military exercises with the south Korean authorities and has clearly warned about the responsibility of the result through the spokesman of the General Staff of KPA.

But the U.S. finally kicked off nuclear war exercises defying the just request and warning of DPRK and this is the frank challenge and the peace destruction maneuvers.

From this, the spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry, denouncing this military war exercises against DPRK, announced as follows:

They launched such large-scale war exercises at a time when the DPRK government advanced an important proposal for building a lasting peace-keeping regime on the Korean Peninsula .

This cannot be interpreted otherwise than a graver provocation. Ti is an act of chilling the efforts to realize the denuclearization of the peninsula.

This fact indicates that though there was a regime change in the U.S. there is no change in the U.S. administration’s hostile policy towards the DPRK, a policy to bring down by force the ideology and system chosen by its-people.

The U.S. is leaving no means untried to bring down the DPRK including military threat, economic sanctions and ideological and cultural poisoning.

Military threat and economic sanctions cannot go with dialogue based on equality and they are incompatible with the process for denuclearization, in particular. Without a peace treaty it is impossible to defuse the military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula and it can never be denuclearized unless this confrontation is put to an end. The justice of the DPRK’s proposal for concluding a peace treaty has been proved once again.

The DPRK is fully ready for dialogue and war. It will continue bolstering up its nuclear deterrent as long as the U.S. military threats and provocations go on.

The Korean Committee for Solidarity with the World People expresses its firm belief that the peace-loving people of the world, by paying attention to the tense situation of the Korean Peninsula, will denounce the rash military war exercises of the U.S. and send their strong support and solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle for the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula.
