Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Start of Songun Revolutionary Leadership Marked

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- Papers Saturday dedicate editorials to the 47th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's start of Songun revolutionary leadership which call for eternally glorifying the Workers' Party of Korea's glorious history of Songun revolutionary leadership.
    Rodong Sinmun says that the nearly half a century-long history of Kim Jong Il's Songun revolutionary leadership is shining as an immortal revolutionary history of the peerless great man whom no statesman in the present times can match.
    It goes on:
    His above-said history is a sacred history in which he set a brilliant example of the times in carrying forward the revolutionary cause of the leader, a proud history in which he brought about a new phase of socialist politics and steered the trend of the era of independence and a great history in which he has consolidated all foundations for achieving the prosperity of the country and the nation. The history of his Songun leadership comprehensively deals with the guiding idea and line and encyclopedic experience and exploits performed in the struggle for successfully advancing the socialist cause, the cause of independence of the popular masses in our times. It, therefore, serves as an eternal cornerstone of the Korean revolution and a most valuable national treasure of Kim Il Sung's Korea.
    It is the greatest exploit performed by Kim Jong Il in the history of the Korean nation that he has given steady continuity to the tradition of the Songun revolution which was started and pushed forward by President Kim Il Sung with arms.
    It is Kim Jong Il who set a shining example of socialist politics by firmly maintaining the independent principle, skillfully combining revolutionary principle with creativeness and superbness and leading all fields of the revolution and construction through his on-the-spot guidance.
    The Songun politics is a symbol of the greatness of Kim Jong Il who is the most prominent statesman in the present times.
    The daily calls on the whole party and army and all the people to bear deep in their minds the great national pride of having such great illustrious Songun commander and single-heartedly uphold his Songun leadership, augment the military power and reinforce the self-reliant defence forces and thus continue giving full play to the might of the socialist military power.
    Minju Joson notes that his history of Songun revolution is a history in which he has creditably inherited the Songun idea and tradition founded by the President. It is great fortune and pride of the Korean people to have the history of Songun revolutionary leadership created by the generals of Mt. Paektu.
