Kim Jong Un's message to PRC

On behalf of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Korean people, I extend warm greetings to you, Comrade General Secretary and, through you, to the Communist Party of China, the government of the People’s Republic of China and all the Chinese people on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the DPRK and the PRC.

With the official diplomatic relations between the DPRK and the PRC established 75 years ago, the DPRK-China relations of friendship came to enter a new historical stage of development.

Over the past 75 years, the two parties and the two countries have vigorously advanced along the road of socialism, standing all sorts of trials and challenges of history with the firm faith in the validity of their cause.

It confirms with the fundamental interests of the two countries to invariably carry forward and develop the DPRK-China friendship with a long history and good traditions.

Our Party and the government of the Republic will steadily strive to consolidate and develop the friendly and cooperative relations between the DPRK and China as required by the new era.

Shortly ago, the Chinese people celebrated the 75th founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

We hope that the Chinese people will achieve steady and fresh successes in the course of building a modern socialist country on a full scale under the leadership of the Communist Party of China with you as its core.

I wish the People's Republic of China prosperity and its people happiness.

Xi Jinping's message to DPRK

I extend warm congratulations on behalf of the CPC and the Chinese government and people and on my own behalf to you and to the WPK and the DPRK government and people on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the PRC and the DPRK.

As the two countries established their official diplomatic relations 75 years ago, a new historic chapter was opened in the relations between the two countries, and this is of epoch-making and important significance.

For 75 years, the two countries have advanced hand in hand on the road of promoting socialist construction while supporting and strengthening exchange and cooperation with each other in the struggle to consolidate the people's power and defend the national sovereignty, and have closely cooperated in the work to promote the regional peace and stability and safeguard the international equity and justice.

The traditional China-DPRK friendship has stood the changes of the times and the trials of ever-changing international situation and become a precious asset common to the two countries and the two peoples.

I attach great importance to the development of the China-DPRK relations and have jointly led and promoted the in-depth development of the China-DPRK relations while maintaining close communications with you, Comrade General Secretary, through several meetings and personal letters and messages in recent years.

In the new era and under the new situation, the Chinese side is ready to jointly promote, together with the DPRK side, the stable and further advance of the socialist cause in the two countries and provide the two peoples with better welfare by continuing to write a new chapter of the traditional China-DPRK friendship through strengthened strategic communications and coordination and deepened friendly exchange and cooperation with the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries as an occasion.

I hope that Comrade General Secretary would enjoy good health and everything would go well.

I wish the DPRK prosperity and its people happiness and wellbeing

Joe Biden: “No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None. None. None. And I think Bibi should remember that. And whether he’s trying to influence the election, I don’t know, but I’m not counting on that.”

I'm writing this post because it's getting very low ratings. From the reviews that I read, many people say it doesn't meet their expectations of what a superhero movie should be.

I'm not a capeshit enjoyer. I chose to see Joker 2 because Joker 1 had vague themes of "defunding welfare programs is bad". In the first movie, Joker loses access to his mental illness medication because the politicians defund the welfare programs and that leads Joker to start doing crimes.

What I liked about Joker 2 is that everyone around him wants to make him miserable, but instead he chooses to be happy. In my opinion, it is the most pure example of absurdity. The whole world wants to make Joker miserable and he is powerless to change other people, but he can deny giving the world what they want so he chooses to laugh. I find that to be entertaining.

The movie was about 60% musical. Whenever Joker starts to hallucinate, everyone starts singing. I think it was okay, but other people did not like that. You probably won't like the movie if you are expecting it to follow the superhero movie formula.

That would raise average wages to about $63 an hour from $39 an hour over the life of the contract.

The union and the port operators said in a statement that they would extend their master contract until Jan. 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all outstanding issues.

For the Trump v Biden Debate we have around 200 users chatting. For the Trump v Kamala Debate we had around 160 users. I'm not sure how many people will be interested in the VP debate.

I am playing it on this channel because the other channel uses peertube, which can potentially share your IP address to other users. This channel will not have peertube.

I will have news commentary playing in the channel before the debate and potentially after the debate as well.

Spokesperson for Foreign Ministry of DPRK Gives Answers

Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on Tuesday as regards the fact that Israel's recent large-scale military attack and terrorist acts against Lebanon caused huge casualties:

Israel is resorting to massacre, terrorism and assassination, talking about the "right to self-defence" and "security". Its brutality and shamelessness are arousing great hatred and resentment of the international community.

It is a hideous war crime and unethical crime that Israel killed many civilians by committing indiscriminate military attack and terrorist acts against Lebanon.

Not content with the thrice-cursed massacre that stunned the world people in Gaza Strip of Palestine, Israel which is now encroaching upon the right of the Arab people to existence in the Middle East including Lebanon and the U.S. manipulating it are, indeed, the cancer-like entities of regional peace and stability and the common enemy of the Arab people.

The key to ensuring durable peace in the region of the Middle East is to guarantee the legitimate national right of the Palestinian people to establishing an independent state and put an end to Israel's invasion and hostile acts against the Arab countries as soon as possible.

We strongly denounce Israel which is expanding its large-scale massacre of innocent civilians to the whole Middle East and the organizational heinous terrorist acts of the U.S. which guards the former, and express invariable support and solidarity to the Arab people in their struggle for defending sovereignty, right to existence and territorial integrity. -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Nuclear Weapons Institute and Production Base of Weapons-grade Nuclear Materials

Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, inspected the Nuclear Weapons Institute and the production base of weapons-grade nuclear materials, acquainted himself with the production of nuclear warheads and the current production of nuclear materials and set forth important tasks concerning a long-term plan for increasing the production of weapons-grade nuclear materials.

He was accompanied by Hong Sung Mu, first deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

He highly praised the scientists, technicians and officials in the field of nuclear weapons production for carrying out without fail the plan for producing weapons-grade nuclear materials needed for manufacturing nuclear warheads, cherishing the firm and steadfast revolutionary spirit and faith to firmly defend the victorious advance of the revolutionary cause of Juche with the strongest nuclear force.

He went round the control room of the uranium enrichment base to learn about the operation of production lines in all aspects.

He expressed great satisfaction after being briefed on the fact that the base is dynamically producing nuclear materials by studying, developing and introducing all the system elements including centrifugal separators and various kinds of sensors and controllers with its own efforts and technology.

Personally looking round the production site, he said that it is invigorating to see the place, and continued: In order to exponentially multiply the nuclear weapons for self-defence true to the Party's line of building the nuclear force, it is necessary to further increase the number of centrifuges, not content with the successes achieved, and, at the same time, to enhance the individual separation ability of the centrifuge and push forward with the introduction of a new-type centrifuge, which has already reached the completion stage, as planned, so as to consolidate the foundation for producing weapons-grade nuclear materials.

Going round the construction site for expanding the capacity for the current production of nuclear weapons, he learned in detail about the daily plan for the assembly of equipment.

Expressing great satisfaction repeatedly over the great technological capabilities of the nuclear power field of the DPRK, he said that the WPK has set forth a new important strategy for building up the nuclear force, believing in the combatants in the nuclear power field who have turned out as one with an ardent mind to open up a broad avenue for the revolutionary cause of Juche on the strength of nuclear weapons. The red nuclear scientists faithful to the Party should implement the Party's policy of nuclear force building unconditionally and without an inch of deflection with their strong faith and high practical ability, he encouraged.

Noting that anti-DPRK nuclear threat moves of the U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces have become more undisguised and crossed the red-line, he said the security environment facing the DPRK, the peculiarity of the Korean revolution compelling the country to constantly confront the U.S. and contain it and prospective threats require the DPRK to steadily expand and bolster up its military capability for self-defence and the capability for preemptive attack with the nuclear force as the backbone. He stressed again that a more rapid and sure advance should be made in the struggle to always maintain the thoroughgoing counteraction posture of the nuclear force and improve the posture to a high level.

The combatants in the field of nuclear weapons production, assuming the most important responsibility, that is, the historic mission to bolster up the nuclear war deterrent of the country in quality and quantity and in a sustained and accelerated way, should keep exerting themselves in production and thus more creditably fulfil the sacred duty they took on for the Party and the revolution, he instructed.

He stressed the need to set a higher long-term goal in producing nuclear materials necessary for the manufacture of tactical nuclear weapons and concentrate all efforts on making a fresh leap forward, and set forth important tasks and orientation.

Upon receiving his on-site instructions, all the nuclear combatants made a firm determination to make a great leap forward in implementing the Party's nuclear strategy and line by absolutely and firmly guaranteeing the continuous and successful birth of powerful Korean-style nuclear weapons, bearing in mind the deep trust of Kim Jong Un, who put them forward on the outpost of the sacred struggle as he further bolsters the world’s strongest nuclear arsenal which will steadfastly defend the independent development of the state, the happy life and safety of the people and the road ahead for the Juche revolution. -0-
