Korea

The United States and its allies have embarked on a dangerous path of aggression against the government of North Korea and its allies China and Russia.

South Korean author Han Kang has written two short novels translated into English in the past five years.

For the past several years I’ve averted my eyes from Fukushima.  (Who doesn’t want to make it disappear?)  Then, as the sixth anniversary loomed, I wonder, what could one possibly say?  Hadn’t it all been said?
I ponder – and then make a shocking discovery: In my mind’s eye I’d temporarily misplaced Fukushima.
In fact, I’d moved it!

(ANTIMEDIA) South Korea — On Tuesday, over continued objections from both Russia and China, the first parts of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system built and supplied by the United States arrived in South Korea.
From a Reuters report:

In the West, even among people who consider themselves not susceptible to government-corporate media propaganda, any wild story about North Korea can be taken as credible. We should ask ourselves why that is the case, given what we know about the history of government and media fabrications, often related to gaining our acquiescence to a new war.

Question: What do a brilliant feminist novelist, a cutting-edge film director, and a Nobel-nominated poet have in common, in South Korea?

February 15, 2017 (Ulson Gunnar - NEO) - North Korea is depicted across US and European media as a backward nation run by a despotic, delusional leader encircled by advisers suffering from irrational, militant paranoia.

While seeking reassurances from the US in the wake of Moscow’s most recent “invasions” across the globe and impudent “hacking” of presidential elections in a fictitious country, the two tricksters pretending to be Ukraine’s Prime Minister revealed just how clueless Congresswoman Waters really is about the world she lives in.

Many members of the US congress are clueless about the world they live in, and often misinformed about what’s happening in their own backyards. They run with fake news headlines or with whatever is provided to them via the teleprompter. Sometimes, however, these things backfire and their cluelessness is exposed bare for all of us to enjoy.

Whaaat??!??
