"Rodong Sinmun Calls for Keeping Keyed-up Attitude to Advance Surge"

Note to newcomers to Juche-oriented blogging: North Korea has the most howlingly insane totalitarian propaganda in the world. Nobody comes remotely close. If you can somehow manage to get through all eight paragraphs of this article, you wont have the same view of world events that you had before:

All the party members and other working people should maintain the keyed-up attitude to accelerate the on-going advance of a great surge for final victory by resolutely shattering the military provocations of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean group of traitors. Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in an editorial.

It is the revolutionary temperament of the army and people of the DPRK to effect a great surge in socialist construction while keeping themselves fully combat ready to cope with the enemies' reckless provocations and war moves, the editorial says, and goes on:

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean group of traitors are going on the rampage, escalating confrontation with the DPRK, oblivious of the lesson taught by the Yonphyong Island shelling. This situation requires the party members and other working people to live and work in more alert and mobilized posture than ever before.

The building of a thriving nation is militarily guaranteed and the advance of the great surge is being dynamically pushed forward thanks to the key role of the Korean People's Army. The reality convinces the people of victory and reinforces their optimism.

All the servicepersons and people live and work in the revolutionary soldier spirit, united close around the headquarters of the revolution. Herein lies the tremendous politico-ideological might and invincible spirit of Songun Korea.

"Return retaliation for retaliation, all-out war for all-out war!" This is the invariable will of the army and people of the DPRK.

The DPRK is determined to continue socialist construction till midnight even though a war is supposed to break out the next day and mercilessly destroy the aggressors through the heroic death-defying battle involving party, army and the people. If the enemies dare hurt the dignity of the DPRK and fire even a single shell or bullet into its inviolable sea, air and land, it will make the flame on Yonphyong Island to flare up into roaring flames in Chongwadae and the stronghold of the group of traitors.

No force on earth can overwhelm the might of the single-minded unity of the servicepersons and people united close around the headquarters of the revolution. All of them should bring about a great surge in every worksite with matchless bravery and high spirit of annihilating the enemy following the flame kindled in South Hamgyong Province.

Hear that, pig farmers and fertilizer workers? You have to top all your previous great surges.
