Ministry of Armed Forces Holds Symposium of Kim Jong Il's Revolutionary Feats
2004-06-17
We haven't drunk from the well lately...
Pyongyang, June 17 (KCNA) -- The Ministry of the People's Armed Forces held a symposium on the revolutionary feats of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il at the April 25 House of Culture Wednesday on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. At the symposium the speakers said he, the peerlessly great man and the most illustrious general, has effected world-startling epochal changes in all fields of politics, military affairs, economy and culture and displayed the dignity and honor of Kim Il Sung's Korea with his outstanding ideological and theoretical activities and gigantic revolutionary practices at the head of the Party over the past 40 years.
Yup. There ain't nobody like Kim...
Jo Myong Rok, director of the General Political Department of the Korean People's Army, noted that, with Kim Jong Il at the head of the Party, the army and people of the DPRK have come into possession of a sure guarantee to strengthen and develop the Workers' Party of Korea into the eternal party of President Kim Il Sung and carry the revolutionary cause of Juche to accomplishment.
And what might that be? You've already invented the rock, grass, white slag, and pine-needle tea...
Kim Yong Chun, chief of the General Staff of the KPA, cited historical facts proving that Kim Jong Il set forth the line and policies of the Party our own way from the Juche-based stand to suit the specific conditions of the country and the basic requirements of the revolution and saw to it that they were consistently implemented.
Wotta man!
Kim Il Chol, minister of the People's Armed Forces, said Kim Jong Il has built the Party into a mother party which has become a harmonious whole with the popular masses.
What was it before?
General of the KPA Pak Jae Gyong stressed that Kim Jong Il has trained the KPA into stout revolutionary armed forces boundlessly loyal to the Party.
"Stout"? As in pudgy? Images of large men waddling across the Pyongyang equivalent of Red Square spring to mind...
The speakers called upon all the officers and men of the KPA to devotedly defend Kim Jong Il, their destiny and eternal banner of victory, and staunchly fight for the accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche under the Songun leadership of the Party, clearly aware that they are blessed with illustrious leaders generation after generation. Present at the symposium were leading officials of the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces and KPA officers and men.

#5  *holds up card* 8.5

A fairly good performance, but somewhat diluted by references to the Party made by Army representatives, leaving them without vigor and force. After all, what would the Army know about the Party? The illusion that the Army and Party are separate is thus demolished. A more vigorous declaration and recitation, from Army personnel, of the outstanding >>Military<< feats and accomplishments of the Illustriously Grand Leader would have earned a higher score.

Army First Man knew the secret: Ya stroke The Man better by staying on your own turf. Let the Party Hacks bloviate about the Eternal Party.

#1  There's no leader
Like Our Leader's
Like no leader we know.

Even when we march on empty bellies
Even when the cellphones all explode
Fear of him turns yankees into jellies
And they go yelling down the road ....

There's no Party like our Party,
We smile when we are low!
So go on with the show ......

(apologies to the great Ethel Merman LOL - sorry Ethel, I couldn't help myself )
