Ultimate Field Guidance
General Secretary Kim Jong Il of the Workers Party of Korea provided field guidance to the Kwangbok Area Supermarket just before opening, [the Korean Central News Agency reported from Pyongyang on 15 December 2011]. Kwangbok Department Store which was originally completed in October 1991 has been renovated as a supermarket thanks to the initiative and great loving care shown by Kim Jong Il being considerate of the people's well-being and improvement of their living standard. The supermarket is a commercial service base capable of providing every convenience for the customers with accurate and rapid service as all of its management activities have been put on IT and digital basis ranging from warehousing to selling. The three-storey supermarket has counters filled with household appliances and electronic goods, such foodstuff as confectionery, milk, tea, soy sauce, soybean paste and oil and such textile goods as children's clothes, toys, Korean dresses, towels, quilts and undergarment. Going round counters on each floor, Kim Jong Il learned in detail about the varieties of goods, state of display and sales plan. Saying that the supermarket is fitted with display cases, stands and tools and other facilities and furnishings needed for the storage and sales of goods to cater for the tastes of consumers, he expressed great satisfaction over the successful renovation of the commercial service center to be conducive to improving the standard of people's living. He, calling for meeting the people's need in any case, saw to it that necessary measures were taken. He set forth tasks facing the supermarket in its service. He went on to say: "It is the firm will and determination of the Party to provide the people with things best. Officials should become true servants for the people, who provide them with good things first and worry about their life before anything else." He underscored the need to strive to supply goods to the people before putting them in foreign markets.

When North Korea Falls
The furor over Kim Jong-il's missile tests and nuclear brinksmanship obscures the real threat: the prospect of North Korea's catastrophic collapse. How the regime ends could determine the balance of power in Asia for decades. American military officers talk of the Kim Family Regime. Kim Jong-il learned a lesson from the fall of the Ceausescu Family Regime: Take complete control of the military. The KFR now rules through the army. Kim Jong-il's father established a link in the North Korean mind between the Kim Family Regime and the Choson Dynasty, which ruled the Korean peninsula for 500 years, beginning in the late fourteenth century.
