“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”
Minju Joson Slams U.S. and S. Korean Authorities’ Reckless Military Action
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) — The U.S. and the south Korean authorities jointly signed “Guidelines for Strategic Planning” for the “U.S.-South Korea Joint Plan for Coping with Local War,” a plan for “reacting against somebody’s provocation of a local war,” in Washington on Jan. 25.
Minju Joson Friday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:
The plan is, in essence, a document for a war and a scenario for aggression aimed at stifling the DPRK by force of arms.
“The provocation of a local war” touted by the U.S. and south Korean military warmongers is nothing but sophism intended to cover their despicable true colors and justify their moves to ignite another Korean war, the commentary notes, and goes on:
It is the U.S. strategy for dominating the world to hold military supremacy in the Asian-Pacific region and meet its strategic interests in the region.
Now that the U.S. shifted the focus of its military strategy to the Asia-Pacific region, it regards the scenario for stifling the DPRK by forces of arms as one of the important military tasks to be carried out to implement its strategy for dominating the world without fail.
The moves of the U.S. to start a new war have created an unpredictably dangerous situation on the Korean Peninsula.
60 U.S. new type tanks “M1-A2 Abrams” have already arrived at Pusan Port to be ready to go into action and a series of agreements are being concluded between the U.S. and south Korea for rapid delivery of latest military hardware.
It was reported that “Ulji Freedom Guardian” joint military exercises would be staged from 2013 under a new “combined defence system.” This fact goes to prove that the U.S. and south Korean military warmongers made the collective military actions against the DPRK an established fact and are stepping up the preparations for them.
The DPRK values peace but will not pardon in the least anyone who dares provoke it.
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) — The Pyongyang Catfish Farm has increased the rate of breeding a new variety of catfish (heclrobranchas, bidosalis.)
The breeding method employed by the farm is so effective that other fish farms are greatly interested in it.
Jang Yong Gwan, chief engineer of the Pyongyang Catfish Farm, told KCNA:
“The weight of the new variety averages 3.5kg. We had some limitations in catfish production before. So, we have employed a new method of giving physiological irritation to catfish and improved the incubation technology.
We have also increased fish spawning and fertilizing rate with use of pituitary. Now the catfish production is 1.5 times higher than before the introduction of the new method.”
The Pyongyang Catfish Farm is one of the country’s major fish farms.
Kim Jong Un Guides Flight Training of KPA Air Force Unit 378b
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) — Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Workers’ Party of Korea, state and army of the DPRK, guided a flight training of KPA Air Force Unit 378 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment.
After receiving a salute, he acquainted himself with the unit’s performance of guard duty and guided the flight training of pilots.
Watching the bold and dynamic performance by pilots, he, his face beaming with a broad smile, praised them for their success in training.
He congratulated all the pilots on their success in training, expressing great satisfaction with the fact that they have prepared themselves to be competent fighter pilots by undergoing dynamic flight training in a state of high alert, bearing deep in mind that training precisely means combat.
No enemy dares intrude into Songun Korea, our country is standing high as an invulnerable bulwark and socialist fortress and the sky above it will always remain clear and blue as its territorial air is being defended by the dependable and proud pilots, he said.
Then he went round a bedroom, mess hall and lecture rooms of the pilots of the sub-unit under the unit.
The stars of the color badge the commanding officers are bearing are not a symbol of any treatment but an expression of trust in the responsibility they have assumed before the country and the revolution, he noted, saying that if they do not know the weight of the stars, they cannot claim they have qualifications as commanding officers.
He called upon the commanding officers to think of the party’s particular trust reflected in the stars even when they face difficulties in rounding off their combat preparations and settling the issue of the soldiers’ living and to run and run till the soles of their boots are worn out, not forgetting the trust.
He gave the leading members and staff members of the Supreme Command accompanying him the tasks to be fulfilled to finish the combat preparations of the People’s Army.
He had a photo session with the service personnel of the unit. Then he took hands of the commanding officers of the unit and told them to conduct training better in good health.
He was accompanied by Jang Song Thaek, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the C.C., the WPK and vice-chairman of the National Defence Commission, Pak To Chun, alternate member of the Political Bureau and secretary of the C.C., the WPK, KPA Generals Kim Myong Guk, Kim Won Hong and Pak Jae Gyong and staff members of the KPA Supreme Command.

KCNA Commentary on Japan Media’s Impudent Action
Pyongyang, January 26 (KCNA) — Conservative media of Japan are getting evermore pronounced in their hostile action after the DPRK suffered a great national loss.
Early in January Jiji Press talked nonsense about “acting for people”, hurting the dignity of the DPRK supreme leadership. Meanwhile Tokyo Shimbun parroted the false data cooked up by human scum of south Korea.
On Jan. 22 Asahi Shimbun, reduced to a waiting maid of the right-wing forces, invented a rumor about the Chinese army’s “possible entry into Pyongyang” in case of “emergency” in the DPRK.
The facts fully show the sinister and dirty nature of Japanese conservative media.
There are many countries and media in the world, but such impudent media are rare as Japan’s conservative media which rubbed salt into the wounds of the people of neighboring country in mourning.
The world is clearly seeing the trifling and inferior nature of media of Japan, a politically minor country.
The Japanese conservative forces are intensifying through reptile means the smear campaign based on distorted and false information in a bid to incite distrust and hostility toward the DPRK worldwide and attain their scheme to stifle it. The said report aimed to drive a wedge between the DPRK and China, too, was a revelation of their hostile attempt to isolate the DPRK externally and check the vigorous advance of its army and people.
This is a vicious political provocation as well as an act of terrorism and aggression against the DPRK.
Such actions aggravating the DPRK-Japan relations are not in accord with the demand of the era for detente in Northeast Asia, and they will bring nothing good to Japan.
Though the Japanese reactionaries are doing the DPRK something mean, its army and people will dynamically advance in higher spirit.
Song Based on Kim Jong Il’s Love for People
Pyongyang, January 26 (KCNA) — The song “When Snow Falls Down” has frequently been included in Pyongyang’s TV music programs in snowy days.
It is a famous song reflecting the noble traits of leader Kim Jong Il sitting up all night in deep meditation for the people. It mirrors his great efforts for glorifying socialist Korea.
The song also represents the Korean people’s deep reverence for the leader devoting his all to their happiness, through their feelings about snow.
It reminds the Korean people of his deep love for them.
