Juxtaposition news from the net - December 15, 1998 Pyongyang, North Korea - "Annihilate U.S. imperialist aggressors, the sworn enemies of the Korean people" this in an invariable anti-U.S. slogan which can be seen engraved on warships, tanks, planes, all weapons and rolling stock, barracks, trenches, and all other places where the army is standing, reflecting the revolutionary will of the Korean People's Army to thoroughly and mercilessly annihilate the U.S. imperialists and its conviction of certain victory. Geneva, Switzerland - The United Nations appealed Tuesday for $376 million in aid to help millions of North Koreans survive chronic food shortages and health problems in 1999. Pyongyang - The KPA soldiers, inspired by Kim Jong Il's thorough and resolute will, are leveling guns of revenge at the enemies, with burning hatred. Geneva - Three years of bad weather combined with decades of economic mismanagement have caused the collapse of the farming system in the closed communist nation, leaving the population of 23 million largely dependent on foreign charity. Pyongyang - The slogan full of the fighting spirit to annihilate the enemies was shouted loudly like a flaming volcano at meetings held across the country to support the statement issued by a spokesman for the KPA general staff to provide against the reckless new war provocation moves of the U.S. imperialists. Geneva - Food shortages and famine-related illnesses have killed up to two million North Koreans over the past three years, U.S. congressional aides say. Pyongyang - Its behaviour eloquently shows how much the United States is embarrassed by the DPRK's self-defensive military power capable of eliminating the source of aggression and war on this earth. The U.S. had better act with discretion, clearly aware of the DPRK's powerful military strength fully equipped with both offensive and defensive means. Geneva - Two-thirds of all North Korean children are malnourished - one of the highest rates in the world, according to a U.N. study. Lack of food has stunted the growth of millions. Pyongyang - Premier of the Cabinet Hong Song Nam today met and had a talk with the visiting Swiss government economic delegation. RDH Sources: tampabayonline.net kcna.co.jp
