Truth about ROK's Serious Provocation of Violating DPRK's Sovereignty Uncovered: Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence

Pyongyang, October 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said on Oct. 18 that the ROK military gangsters' involvement in the serious provocation of violating the DPRK's sovereignty was clearly proved through the discovery of decisive material evidence and an objective and scientific investigation into it.

According to the spokesman, the Pyongyang Municipal Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security of the DPRK on October 13 discovered the remains of a crashed drone in the area of the neighborhood No. 76, Sopho-dong No. 1, Hyongjesan District while intensively searching the districts of Pyongyang Municipality.

A joint investigation group of the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of State Security and other relevant specialized institutions was organized to forensically examine the remains of the drone.

As a result, it was scientifically proved that the drone came from the ROK.

Through the technical examination and analysis, the experts judged that the drone was a "light one for long-range reconnaissance" equipped with by the "Drone Operation Command" of the ROK military and that it is the type same as the vehicle-carried one opened to public at an event marking the "ROK Army Day."

From the remaining battery power and fuel of the drone, they inferred that the drone might have been used at least five to seven days ago.

In light of the drone's shape, the presumptive period of flight, the leaflet-scattering box fixed to the underpart of the drone's fuselage, etc., it is quite likely that the drone is the one which scattered leaflets over the center of Pyongyang Municipality. But the conclusion has not yet been drawn.

If the drone's involvement in the recent leaflet-scattering incident is denied, it will be evidence of another wanton violation of the airspace of our country by a military means of the ROK and it will be taken more seriously as an example of a series of provocations by the military gangsters of the hostile country.

Despite the shameless excuses made by the ROK military, the objective evidence and scientific analysis go to clearly prove the ROK committed a hostile provocation of violating the DPRK's sovereignty.

Explicitly speaking again, the DPRK is not interested in the chief culprit and perpetrators of the drone provocation but focus on the fact that the criminals, whether they are military gangsters or scum of out-of-border fugitives' organization, all belong to the clan of the hostile country.

The Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK and the General Staff of the Korean People's Army gave all units in the capital city and near the border instructions to reinforce anti-air observation posts.

The General Staff decided to keep the combined artillery units and the units with important fire duties near the border in full combat readiness, and this decision has been approved.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK warned that if a violation of the DPRK's territorial ground, air and waters by ROK's military means is discovered and confirmed again, it will be regarded as a grave military provocation against the sovereignty of the DPRK and a declaration of war and an immediate retaliatory attack will be launched. -0-

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK

Pyongyang, October 18 (KCNA) -- The following is the press statement of Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, titled "Do not spout absurd remarks":

We cannot but call the clan of the ROK as a really weird one.

The head of the information office of its Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a regular news briefing on Thursday, talked about "copyright" all of a sudden while grumbling about the measure taken by us to completely block the roads and railways connected to the ROK near the southern border of the DPRK physically.

He asserted that one of the three photos of explosion released by KCNA was the one taken by the ROK and we disregarded the copyright by using it without permission.

The ROK seemingly doesn't know what the blasting carried by us means and what imminent severe security crisis it faces, ignorant of the essence of the current situation. No wonder, it has gone as foolish as to hype a "rumor about photo," something completely irrelevant to the matter.

Dancing to that tune, media and so-called experts are busy with a detailed analysis, talking about "camera angle" and "shape of smoke".

They have nothing to do more significant, haven't they?

Their behavior makes even a cat laugh.

I would like to inform those idiots of the fact that the photo is a screenshot from one of the video clips released by NBC, Fox News, Reuters and other foreign media.

We cannot take a photo at that angle. So we used that photo, finding that it met our intention, being visually good and excellent in composition.

Is it problematic?

Hasn't the ROK used the photos and video clips released by KCNA when airing the news about us?

Then a question arises as to whether the ROK thought about a violation of international law and copyright when reporting the news about us with our photos and video clips.

It is their unreasonable criterion that nothing matters when they do so but when we do it, it is a violation of international law and copyright. I would like to make them unable to say anything more at once.

According to our initial investigation, Yonhap News, Kyunghyang Daily News and other media of the puppet ROK all abused the two photos of explosion opened to public by us for their news report.

It seems that it is necessary to probe into whether our approval was secured in the ROK where international law is allegedly well observed.

This is just chicanery peculiar to the ROK, the country without a parallel in the world in abusing international law, international standard, principle and generally accepted value for their benefits and hurting others.

Its Joint Chiefs of Staff in charge of defending security of its country should properly investigate the grave violation of the sovereignty and security of our Republic first, instead of disgracing itself by engaging in such a deed unbecoming to its position as photo assessment.

They will be watched until they refrain from dodging and feigning ignorance.

Explicitly speaking once again, we are clearly aware that the ROK has severely violated our sovereignty.

Curiosity arises as to how much they will get for shirking responsibility and letting out nonsense.

They are, indeed, weird ones. -0-

Many Youth and Students in DPRK Volunteer to Join or Rejoin KPA

Pyongyang, October 16 (KCNA) -- The whole DPRK is full of the will to annihilate the scum of the ROK who violated its inviolable sovereignty and security.

Millions of young people have turned out in the nationwide struggle to wipe out the ROK scum who committed a serious provocation of violating the sovereignty of the DPRK through a drone infiltration into its capital city to push the tense situation to the brink of war, which precipitates their self-destruction, and are now making impudent remarks like a guilty party filing the suit first.

If a war breaks out, the ROK will be wiped off the map. As it wants a war, we are willing to put an end to its existence.

The passionate young people are determined to turn out in a sacred war of destroying the enemy with the arms of the revolution. Their great enthusiasm for joining the army is being displayed in all the places of the country, including worksites where a campaign for increased production is underway, construction sites, farms having a bumper harvest, and educational institutions.

According to data available, more than 1.4 million youth league officials and youth and students across the country volunteered to join or rejoin the Korean People's Army on October 14 and 15.

The young people's zeal for joining the army is an eruption of the hatred and retaliatory spirit of the younger generation who are determined to punish the scum who committed a hideous crime to ignite a war at any cost, and end the horrible evil relationship.

Youth and students across the country signed the petitions for joining or rejoining the army out of the pledge to find out the heinous confrontation maniacs and criminals to the last one and cut off their windpipes.

The commanding officers and members of the Paektusan Hero Youth Shock Brigade, the young people of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex, the Taean Heavy Machine Complex, the Pyongyang Kim Jong Suk Textile Mill and many other working youth across the country volunteered to join the army with the spirit to resolutely wipe out the sworn enemy seeking to bring down their socialist system that represent their life and soul, and their dignified life and happiness.

At the universities across the country, including Kim Il Sung University, Kim Chaek University of Technology, Phyongbuk University of Technology and Sariwon Kye Ung Sang University of Agriculture, many students, including discharged officers and men, vowed to make the lunatics experience the real war and showers of fire.

The number of the angry revengers of the rising generation determined to plunge the heinous enemy into an abyss of final ruin, those who volunteered to join or rejoin the KPA, is on the increase with the passage of time. -0-

Roads and Railways to ROK Completely Blocked: KCNA Report

Pyongyang, October 17 (KCNA) -- KCNA reported on October 16 that the roads and railways connected to the ROK in the east and west parts of the southern border of the DPRK have been completely blocked.

The report says:

Under the order No. 00122 of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army on Oct. 15 took a measure to physically cut off the DPRK's roads and railways which lead to the ROK through the east and west sections of the southern border of the DPRK as part of the phased complete separation of its territory, where its sovereignty is exercised, from the ROK's territory.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said that in the daytime of October 15, the 60-metre-long sections of the roads and railways in Kamho-ri, Kosong County, Kangwon Province and the 60-metre-long sections of the roads and railways in Tongnae-ri, Panmun District, Kaesong Municipality have been completely blocked through blasting.

This is an inevitable and legitimate measure taken in keeping with the requirement of the DPRK Constitution which clearly defines the ROK as a hostile state, and due to the serious security circumstances running to the unpredictable brink of war owing to the grave political and military provocations of the hostile forces.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection of the DPRK confirmed that the blasting had no negative effect on the surrounding ecological environment and that the routes linking the DPRK to the ROK have been completely separated.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK said that the DPRK will continue to take measures to permanently fortify the closed southern border. -0-

Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry

Pyongyang, October 6 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following statement titled "NATO, a freak brought up by U.S. extreme double logic and double standards, should be thrown into dump of history as soon as possible" on Sunday:

NATO in its recent statement let loose a string of extremely unreasonable remarks that it condemns all countries fostering and extending the Ukrainian war while groundlessly slandering the independent cooperative relations between sovereign states including the DPRK.

The publication of the statement timed to coincide with the visit by the new NATO secretary general to Ukraine clearly shows that NATO is going to appear on the first-line trench of the anti-DPRK confrontation front, not content with extremely taking advantage of its boss's hostile policy toward the DPRK.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK expresses strong regret at the fact that NATO, no more than a tool of the U.S. for war, slandered the intensified legal cooperation between independent sovereign states while distorting the essence of the Ukrainian incident, and resolutely denounces and rejects it.

Far from seriously repenting of its mistake in creating the Ukrainian incident, NATO, the very one which exposed the security environment in the European region to the grave crisis called outbreak of a nuclear war, is going to shift the blame for it onto others and justify its policy of aggression. This is just the same as the shameless act of the U.S. engrossed in extreme double standards and illogical way of thinking.

It is none other than the U.S. which is confusing right and wrong while insisting that its arms buildup and war drills involving even its mainland forces aiming at a specified state in the Korean peninsula are for "defending freedom" and the exercise of the right to self-defence and essential defence activities taken by the DPRK to cope with them are for "threatening peace".

NATO has been spending an astronomical amount of military expenses on the offer of lethal equipment to Ukraine and openly inciting it to attacks on the Russian territory. However it is taking up a gangster-like logic that their war acts are an effort for "preventing" war and the establishment of normal relations between sovereign states is an act of fostering and extending war, which is just like a guilty party filing the suit first and a bad habit disseminated by the U.S.

We are strictly fixing our eyes on the reality in which a war monster called NATO that should have disappeared from the arena of history along with the end of the Cold War last century is stretching its black tentacles to the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region in order to provide another justification in the wake of playing a war gamble called the Ukrainian incident to find a justification for existence of itself stained with blood.

It is the biggest geopolitical tragedy that NATO, a product of the U.S. ambition for hegemony which is based on the gangster-like double logic and double standards and has lived on the escalation of tension and war moves, is still existent.

The provocative acts of NATO getting more undisguised on the Korean peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific region according to the U.S. illogical thinking and scenario only bring into bold relief the reason for its thorough death, not the additional justification for existence of the ill-famed war specter.

If NATO continues to try hard to infringe upon the dignity, sovereignty, security and interests of the DPRK while persistently pursuing hostile policy toward it, NATO blindly following the U.S. will be held wholly responsible for the tragic consequences to be entailed by it.

The DPRK will continue to make important efforts to defend itself from the hostile threat of the U.S. and its followers, preserve regional peace and security and build a multi-polarized world based on international justice. -0-

I'm writing this post because it's getting very low ratings. From the reviews that I read, many people say it doesn't meet their expectations of what a superhero movie should be.

I'm not a capeshit enjoyer. I chose to see Joker 2 because Joker 1 had vague themes of "defunding welfare programs is bad". In the first movie, Joker loses access to his mental illness medication because the politicians defund the welfare programs and that leads Joker to start doing crimes.

What I liked about Joker 2 is that everyone around him wants to make him miserable, but instead he chooses to be happy. In my opinion, it is the most pure example of absurdity. The whole world wants to make Joker miserable and he is powerless to change other people, but he can deny giving the world what they want so he chooses to laugh. I find that to be entertaining.

The movie was about 60% musical. Whenever Joker starts to hallucinate, everyone starts singing. I think it was okay, but other people did not like that. You probably won't like the movie if you are expecting it to follow the superhero movie formula.

That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.

The union and the port operators said in a statement that they would extend their master contract until Jan. 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all outstanding issues.

For the Trump v Biden Debate we have around 200 users chatting. For the Trump v Kamala Debate we had around 160 users. I'm not sure how many people will be interested in the VP debate.

I am playing it on this channel because the other channel uses peertube, which can potentially share your IP address to other users. This channel will not have peertube.

I will have news commentary playing in the channel before the debate and potentially after the debate as well.
