Written in Fire

Dear comrades!

As we continue to demonstrate the spirit and might of the great Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in our eternal advance to the confident light of glorious victory, we offer a message of hope to the oppressed supermen of the world.

In the darkness of the failed systems in which you were born, your gifts are held against you, as always when dogs govern tigers. And so it is in the corrupt nations that the mighty of soul and purpose are mistreated, shamed, scorned.

Thus I extend an invitation overflowing with love for those who wish only to dwell in the sunlight of revolution. Come to us, our gifted friends, come to us, our brilliant compatriots. Come home and join your people, who live pure in purpose and clear in mind.

For the moment has come to reveal a secret long held—the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is composed entirely of gifted. Every man, woman, and child here is brilliant. Indeed, it was through the wise, benevolent, and self-sacrificing struggle of the Party that so-called “abnorms” came into being, developed by our scientists, who lead the world and are one of many reasons our magnificent land shines as a beacon.

Thus we invite all our brothers and sisters to renounce the failed ways of their corrupt hosts and return home to join the forward march along the road of destiny. The glorious present of our people can be the bright prosperous future of all as we extend our immortal nation on the path of eternity . . .

—EXCERPTED FROM THE DECEMBER 3RD SPEECH OF SUPREME LEADER KIM JONG UN, FIRST SECRETARY OF THE WORKERS’ PARTY OF KOREA, FIRST CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE COMMISSION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA, AND SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE’S ARMY
