Those of you living in South Korea will be relieved to know that the central committee of North Korea’s Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland has announced that Pyongyang would not use its nuclear weapons on South Korea. In a statement reported by the KCNA, the committee encouraged Koreans in the North, South and overseas to bravely struggle against hostile U.S. policy, and explained that North Korea’s nuclear weapons are there to keep the peace and protect Koreans (both North and South).

Gee! I am sure going to sleep better tonight………..not.
North Korea’s Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland has proven itself as a reliable and trustworthy authority on the policies of the North Korean regime in the past. Why would it lie now?
Actually this is the first I’ve ever heard of it. Can anyone name one organization with “Front” in its name that has ever been anything besides an untrustworthy reactionary political fringe group?

Here’s one from pre WWII France (Third
Republic), they actually governed for a couple
of years so they can’t be realistically called
“fringe”:

Here’s a “Popular Front” that actually
governed (pre WWII France, Third Republic):

Interesting, I didn’t realize DPRK had felt
it necesssary since the beginning to maintain
a facade of multi-party unity.

I see East Germany (former German Democratic Republic) felt it necessary to do the same:

Fascinating, as Mr Spock used to say. Undoubtedly due to the presence in both cases of a significant non-Communist rival state, thus the appearance of a multi-party state was necessary (unlike, say, in the newly Bolshevik USSR or Mao’s PRC).
