The Korean People’s Army [KPA] P’anmunjo’m Mission issued a statement on July 20 (Wednesday), the 66th anniversary of the “Taejo’n Agreement”:
The so-called “Taejo’n Agreement” was concluded in July 1950 due to the US wicked design for realizing its military domination over the whole of Korea and the Syngman Rhee traitorous clique’s foolish dream about a “north expedition” with its master’s backing.
The agreement was recorded in the history of national division as tragedy and shame in which the US imperialist aggression forces’ exercise of the south Korean puppet army’s OPECON is guaranteed by “law”.
One of the main reasons why the world points south Korea as the complete US colony and its 51st state is that the former has been subject to humiliation of having transferred the elementary military right to the outsiders over sixty-six years, century after century.
Today when power precisely means justice, nothing is more foolish and miserable to entrust one’s destiny to others.
It is none other than the south Korean puppet army, subsidiary troops which can not act at will even a moment without the approval and permission of the US imperialist aggression forces in south Korea going under the mask of the “UN Forces”, and the land of darkness is exactly south Korea as it can make no protest even if it is mercilessly trampled down under the boots and armored vehicles of the brigandish outsiders.
Whenever the south Korean people turned out in an action against the US, the latter left no means untried to maintain the OPECON, main means for its permanent presence in south Korea, at any cost.
The US imperialists made public without any hesitation their intention to postpone the period of transfer of the OPECON for an indefinite period until the puppet forces provide three conditions: “creation of security climate” on the Korean peninsula, its “attainment of major military capacities” and its “attainment of ability for coping with the north’s nuclear weapons and missiles” by instigating the Park Geun-hye (Pak Ku’n-hye) group of traitors to stop the controversial issue of transfer of the OPECON from being snow-balled.
The US is mulling keeping control of the OPECON at any cost even by making a cock-and-bull and impudent excuses which can never work on anyone as it has a sinister scheme which it cannot abandon the OPECON.
In case the US imperialists transfer the OPECON to the puppet forces, they will lose not only the pretext for staying in south Korea but also the excuse for interfering in the Korean issue.
The south Korean puppet forces are getting more and more dependent on the US with their ambition to stand in confrontation with the fellow countrymen in the north and realize their daydream about “unification through absorption” at any cost with the help of their master.
The dark curtain behind the OPECON is nothing but a clear indictment showing how persistent the US imperialists’ hostile policy toward the DPRK and south Korean puppet forces’ moves for confrontation with it are and how scandalous the sordid burlesque waged by the master and its stooge to meet their interests is.
The US imperialists and south Korean puppet forces would be well advised to properly face up to the trend of the times.
The KPA already solemnly declared that the US imperialist aggression forces in south Korea are its first strike target and the puppet traitors following them would also meet the same fate.
The US should go back home, abandoning its wicked intention for permanent stay in south Korea. This only would be a wise option for evading the coming final ruin even for a moment.
