The mainstream media
is right, this one time, that this recent purge is a sign of serious dissent
inside the ruling party of Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It show
instability as well as suspicion that Kim Jong Un either lacks support in some
parts of the party (Workers' Party of Korea) or army or Kim
believes there is lack of supporters and he is determined to root them out. In recent months,
the Korean Central News Agency has run several articles praising Kim Jong Il,
his father and former leader. The newer Kim may be relying on his father’s
reputation to help keep his own support up in the party and army. That would
indicate that Kim Jong Il had won over support of those institution and enjoyed
full support of the overwhelming majority.
This is the second
part of a very long article from the KCNA that explains Kim Jong Un’s official
charges against the formerly high ranking Jang Song Thaek (장성택). -សតិវ អតុ
From KOREAN CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY
of DPRK(Democratic People's Republic of Korea);
Jang committed such an unpardonable thrice-cursed treason as
overtly and covertly standing in the way of settling the issue of succession to
the leadership with an axe to grind when a very important issue was under
discussion to hold respected Kim Jong Un in high esteem as the only successor
to Kim Jong Il in reflection of the unanimous desire and will of the entire
party and army and all people.
When his cunning move proved futile and the decision that
Kim Jong Un was elected vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the
Workers' Party of Korea at the Third Conference of the WPK in reflection of the
unanimous will of all party members, service personnel and people was
proclaimed, making all participants break into enthusiastic cheers that shook
the conference hall, he behaved so arrogantly and insolently as unwillingly
standing up from his seat and half-heartedly clapping, touching off towering
resentment of our service personnel and people.
Jang confessed that he behaved so at that time as a
knee-jerk reaction as he thought that if Kim Jong Un's base and system for
leading the army were consolidated, this would lay a stumbling block in the way
of grabbing the power of the party and state.
When Kim Jong Il passed away so suddenly and untimely to our
sorrow, he began working in real earnest to realize its long-cherished greed
for power.
Abusing the honor of often accompanying Kim Jong Un during
his field guidance, Jang tried hard to create illusion about him by projecting
himself internally and externally as a special being on a par with the
headquarters of the revolution.
In a bid to rally a group of reactionaries to be used by him
for toppling the leadership of the party and state, he let the undesirable and
alien elements including those who had been dismissed and relieved of their
posts after being severely punished for disobeying the instructions of Kim Jong
Il and kowtowing to him work in a department of the Central Committee of the
WPK and organs under it in a crafty manner.
Jang did serious harm to the youth movement in our country,
being part of the group of renegades and traitors in the field of youth work
bribed by enemies. Even after they were disclosed and purged by the resolute
measure of the party, he patronized those cat's paws and let them hold
important posts of the party and state.
He had let Ri Ryong Ha, flatterer, work with him since the
1980s whenever he was transferred to other posts and systematically promoted Ri
up to the post of first vice department director of the Party Central Committee
though he had been purged for his factional act of denying the unitary
leadership of the party. Jang thus made Ri his trusted stooge.
Jang let his confidants and flatterers who had been fired
for causing an important case of denying the unitary leadership of the party
work in his department and organs under it in a crafty manner in a few years.
He systematically rallied ex-convicts, those problematic in their past careers
and discontented elements around him and ruled over them as sacred and
inviolable being.
He worked hard to put all affairs of the country under his
control, massively increasing the staff of his department and organs under it,
and stretch his tentacles to ministries and national institutions. He converted
his department into a "little kingdom" which no one dares touch.
He was so imprudent as to prevent the Taedonggang Tile
Factory from erecting a mosaic depicting Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and a
monument to field guidance given by them. Moreover, Jang turned down the
unanimous request of the service personnel of a unit of the Korean People's Internal
Security Forces to have the autograph letter sent by Kim Jong Un to the unit
carved on a natural granite and erected with good care in front of the building
of its command. He was so reckless as to instruct the unit to erect it in a
shaded corner.
He committed such anti-party acts as systematically denying
the party line and policies, its organizational will, in the past period. These
acts were a revelation of deliberate and sinister attempt to create extreme
illusion and idolization of him by making him appear as a special being who can
overrule either issues decided by the party or its line.
He went so rude as to take in the middle even those things
associated with intense loyalty and sincerity of our army and people towards
the party and the leader and distribute them among his confidants in an effort
to take credit upon himself for doing so. This behavior was to create illusion
about him.
Due to his persistent moves to create illusion and
idolization of him his flatterers and followers in his department and organs
under it praised him as "No. 1 comrade." They went the lengths of
denying even the party's instructions to please him at any cost.
Jang established such a heterogenous work system in the
department and the relevant organs as considering what he said as more
important than the party's policies. Consequently, his trusted henchmen and
followers made no scruple of perpetrating such counterrevolutionary act as
disobeying the order of the Supreme Commander of the KPA.
The revolutionary army will never pardon all those who
disobey the order of the Supreme Commander and there will be no place for them
to be buried even after their death.
Dreaming a fantastic dream to become premier at an initial
stage to grab the supreme power of the party and state, Jang made his
department put major economic fields of the country under its control in a bid
to disable the Cabinet. In this way he schemed to drive the economy of the
country and people's living into an uncontrollable catastrophe.
He put inspection and supervision organs belonging to the
Cabinet under his control in defiance of the new state machinery established by
Kim Jong Il at the First Session of the Tenth Supreme People's Assembly. He put
all issues related to all structural works handled by the Cabinet under his
control and had the final say on them, making it impossible for the Cabinet to
properly perform its function and role as an economic command. They included
the issues of setting up and disorganizing committees, ministries and national
institutions and provincial, city and county-level organs, organizing units for
foreign trade and earning foreign money and structures overseas and fixing
living allowances.
When he attempted to make a false report to the party
without having agreement with the Cabinet and the relevant ministry on the
issue related to the state construction control organization, officials
concerned expressed just opinion that his behavior was contrary to the
construction law worked out by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. Hearing this, he
made the reckless remark that "the rewriting of the construction law would
solve the problem."
Abusing his authority, he undermined the work system related
to the construction of the capital city established by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong
Il, reducing the construction building-materials bases to such bad shape little
short of debris in a few years. He weakened the ranks of technicians and
skilled workers at the unit for the construction of the capital city in a
crafty manner and transferred major construction units to his confidants so
that they might make money. In this way he deliberately disturbed the
construction in Pyongyang.
He instructed his stooges to sell coal and other precious
underground resources at random. Consequently, his confidants were saddled with
huge debts, deceived by brokers. Jang made no scruple of committing such act of
treachery in May last as selling off the land of the Rason economic and trade
zone to a foreign country for a period of five decades under the pretext of
paying those debts.
It was none other than Jang who wirepulled behind scene Pak
Nam Gi, traitor for all ages, to recklessly issue hundreds of billions of won
in 2009, sparking off serious economic chaos and disturbing the people's
mind-set.
Jang encouraged money-making under various pretexts to
secure funds necessary for gratifying his political greed and was engrossed in
irregularities and corruption. He thus took the lead in spreading indolent,
careless and undisciplined virus in our society.
After collecting rare metals since the construction of
Kwangbok Street in the 1980s, he set up a secret organ under his control and
took a fabulous amount of funds from a bank and purchased rare metals in
disregard of the state law. He thus committed such anti-state criminal acts as
creating a great confusion in financial management system of the state.
