Joyous Significance Gratefully Expounded!
Darn, I missed it on Feb. 14, the Great February Holiday, but it’s never too late to express joy and study the great advances made since the birth 65 years ago of Kim Jong Il.
Amid all the Songun ecstacy, the NKs themselves apparently forgot last week’s Glorious Shakedown of the Imperialist War Criminal Nation and its Lackeys, in which the right of North Korea to threaten the world stalwartly with ingenious third-rate 1950s-era nuclear weapons and the needs of the Korea people to be happy with free oil were recognized by Cowering Dogs who represent the Aggressors. But in a happy time such as the Great February Holiday, even accomplishments like this are overshadowed by the towering benevolence of Kim Jong Il!
So lets’ go straight to the party! In case you forgot to pencil it in yourself last week, here’s a roundup of all the festivities from the DPRK news service:
Foreign Guests Arrive! Kenichi Ogami, director-general of the International Institute of the Juche Idea and other luminaries too numerous to mention. Let’s just say its the red carpet A-List of Juche Idea celebs.
Congratulations to Kim from Foreign Diplomats: Floral baskets and congratulatory letters for Kim Jong Il are accepted by Vice Marshal of the Korean People’s Army Kim Il Chol!
Celebrating with Panamian seamen! This was a chance for the sailors of a Panamanian-flagged ship to enjoy a little of the rollicking good times ashore at Nampho.
Speakers at the meeting said the Korean people are making a dynamic advance along the road of socialism, demonstrating the single-minded unity of the leader, the party and people, true to the independent and unique Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Il, possessed of matchless courage and grit, has wisely led the army and people with his correct strategy and tactics and outstanding leadership art, turning the DPRK into a political and military power, they noted.
They expressed the firm belief that the Korean people would build a great prosperous powerful nation in the near future under his wise leadership.
NKPR Army Art Squads Perform! The party’s in full swing now:
The performers staged mixed chorus “Jong Il Peak Greeting Spring,” singing to the accompaniment of oungum “Snow-Covered Old Home” and other numbers fully representing the immense joy and happiness of all the servicepersons and people of having Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il in the van of the Songun revolution as he has made undying contributions to the country and people since he was born as the son of the guerrillas.
Also put on the stage were such numbers demonstrating the militant spirit of the revolutionary army as a poem and singing “For the Motherland” and chorus “All Servicepersons and People Will Become Human Bullets and Bombs.”
Symposiums on Kim’s Undying Feats Held! What birthday boy’s party is complete without symposia?
The speakers profoundly explained the imperishable feats performed by Kim Jong Il for the times and history, noting that his birth was a great auspicious event which opened a bright prospect before the continuity of the Juche revolutionary cause and accomplishment of the human cause of independence.
11th Kimjongilia Festival Opens!
Exhibited in the venue of the festival are more than 25,000 potted Kimjongilias cultivated by the military organs, commissions and ministries of the Cabinet and national institutions and other institutions and industrial establishments, servicepersons and people from all walks of life and school youth and children.
… Kwak Pom Gi, vice-premier of the Cabinet, who is chairman of the organizing committee of the Kimilsungia- Kimjongilia Festival, in an opening address said that the Kimjongilia festival has developed for years into a flower festival to be proud of in the world in terms of its style, contents and scale, adding that the current festival would record another brilliant chapter in the history of the festival of the flower of the sun.
We’ll close today with something very special. They’ve come out with the pocket version of the extended KJI bio. I’m sorry, it’s an enlarged version of the short biography. Well, it’s a big steaming pile, in any case. Here’s a review, which is a marvelously mind-numbing and dogmatic work in its own right:
Pyongyang, February 14 (KCNA) — An enlarged version of “Short Biography of Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il” edited by the History Institute of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea was published by the Workers’ Party of Korea Publishing House.
It has 8 chapters comprehensively dealing with the brief history of Kim Jong Il in chronological order.
The first chapter of the book deals with his revolutionary history in the period from Feb. Juche 31(1942) to Aug. Juche 49(1960).

Its second chapter deals with his revolutionary activities in the period from Aug. Juche 49 (1960) to Mar. Juche 53(1964)). In that period Kim Jong Il visited Guard Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Tank Division 105 of the Korean People’s Army, starting his Songun revolutionary leadership. He entered Kim Il Sung University where he developed in depth the immortal Juche idea, Songun idea.
The third chapter of the book tells about how wisely he guided the party work and the drive to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of President Kim Il Sung as the greatest national holiday, etc. in the period from Apr. Juche 53(1964) to Feb. Juche 63(1974)).
Its fourth chapter deals with his revolutionary activities in the period from Feb. Juche 63(1974) to Sept. Juche 69(1980).
After being chosen as successor to Kim Il Sung and an outstanding leader of the WPK and people, he formulated the President’s revolutionary idea as an integral whole of the idea, theory and method of Juche and declared it as the supreme programme of the WPK to model the whole society on the Juche idea.
The fifth chapter of the book tells about his revolutionary activities in the period from Oct. Juche 69(1980) to Dec. Juche 78(1989). This part of the book explains how he led the work to greet the sixth Congress of the WPK as a grand festival of victors and how he made sure that the Koreans and the world revolutionary people grandly celebrated the 70th birthday of the President.
It also tells that he authored many works and led the work to strengthen the KPA and the people’s power and wage a dynamic movement to create “the speed in the 80s,” thus bringing about a fresh surge in socialist economic construction.
The sixth chapter of the book is devoted to his revolutionary activities in the period from Jan. Juche 79 (1990) to Jul. Juche 83 (1994).
It tells that he held the important post of Supreme Commander of the KPA and was elected chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and wisely led the work to demonstrate the advantages and might of Korean-style socialism and revive the socialist movement.
The seventh chapter of the book dealing with his revolutionary activities in the period from Jul. Juche 83 (1994) to Dec. Juche 87 (1998) tells that after the demise of the President he put up such slogans representing his faith as “The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung will always be with us” and “Let us arm ourselves more firmly with the revolutionary ideas of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung!” and led the work to build up the Kumsusan Memorial Palace as the supreme temple of Juche.
It also says that he was elected general secretary of the WPK and chairman of the NDC of the DPRK.
The eighth chapter of the book deals with his revolutionary activities in the period from Jan. Juche 88 (1999) to Oct. Juche 94 (2005). It tells that he, true to the noble intention of the President, unrolled the policy of effecting a turn in building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation, the policies of attaching importance to the ideology, the arms and science and technology and laid down other important guidelines for building a rich and powerful country.
It also deals with the facts that he arranged the historic Pyongyang meeting which culminated in the adoption of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, conducted energetic external activities, demonstrating the prestige and dignity of the DPRK worldwide and injecting fresh vigor into the efforts to accomplish the cause of global independence and wisely led the people to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the WPK and the 60th anniversary of the country’s liberation as grand festivals of victors of the Songun revolution.
Welcome HotAir readers, come in and cool your heels. Look lively, Small Dead Animals. Relax, American Thinkers, we’re trying not to get too deep: We’ve got Antscam, an amazing swindle worthy of the Nobel Prize in Economics but rewarded with a death sentence instead. We’ve got a leftist struggling mightily to figure out why he doesn’t get it. We’ve got Iranians irked to find themselves on the receiving end of terrorism, and a happy Iraqi touring Baghdad. We’ve got a drunk Australian who wrestled a shark, won and brought it home for dinner. This and more.

It just boggles the mind to think that THAT could manage to do the evil he does. Of course, he has help.
