this is a very similar story to the ethnic Koreans living in the Soviet Far East. they underwent two forced migrations, the latter of which was in 1938, and forcibly moved to central Asia (Uzbek). The move was also brutal and many lives were lost. I saw a couple of documentaries about the “Koryeo-saram” in Uzbekistan, and their communities…[Read more]

The cynicism and hypocrisy on the part of the US, and UK is staggering.

But I had listened to him many times on Korean affairs over the years. He used to be a KPFA regular if I remember correctly.

ultimately one would assume that the human user of these “crime detection” type software programs would exercise appropriate judgement as whether to grant credence to their output. my experience is that other such programs such as “suspicious transaction software” are also extremely unreliable and that for some reason those in institutional…[Read more]

supposedly telling Sen. Paul, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s pretty clear from JD’s clips of this interchange, that Paul was using authoritative medical sources and Fauci’s prior statement on the subject before the Senate to prove his point, and Fauci’s responses were illogical, non-responsive replies or purely ad hominen attacks.…[Read more]

More likely it’s pursuing the special interests of various sectors in the so called “national security” institutions, who appear as the perennial carpetbaggers in every US administration. What’s good for Raytheon and General Dyanamics isn’t necessarily in the national interest of the US. In one sense, their interests, typically representing the…[Read more]

The US is basically a barbaric culture.   He used to make me laugh by saying, “Don’t make me go all medieval on you.”  This is pretty much the US approach to everything.

I wonder how many of the so called “contractors” are really just contractors.

Pretty well substantiates the argument that JFK was killed because he did become a “peacenik.” JFK and Vietnam, Deception, Intrigue and the Struggle for Power, by John Newman is definitive on JFKs plans to withdraw forces from Vietnam. Newman became Oliver Stone’s advisor for JFK after Fletcher Prouty was caught up some embarrassing episode…[Read more]

I had never seen one before.

Curlytail lizards are native to the West Indies, with the extant (living) species in the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and nearby small islands.[4][5] Additionally, Leiocephalus carinatus and Leiocephalus schreibersii have been introduced to…[Read more]

I think they drop the paywall for this sort of propaganda they want everyone to hear. The author has been at the WP for thirty years.

After US strike forces leave an area like the East Sea, Taiwan Straits, South China Sea, etc., in the past I’ve noticed this pattern in the Chinese theater. As far as the Chinese operating near the US, I only recall one specific instance where they test-launched an ICBM from a submarine whose contrail was observable from some place…[Read more]

It’s a euphemism for having borrowed a lot of other artists styles. His work has a false fluidity or spontaneity which is so mechanical it appears programmed. As for an original style I’d be hard pressed to say what it is. In other words, there isn’t one.

That is the structural political problem on the US side. I honestly feel that the military, specifically, the Indo Pacific Command, and the US Japan alliance structure, which rests ultimately on its historical foundation of opposition to North Korea, is the opposition to any concessions to North Korea, regardless of what they give up in an…[Read more]
