Will Trump Forego the Summit with Kim?

NOVANEWS By Global Research News Global Research North Korea: Is Trump Trying to Back Out of the Singapore Summit in Mid-June 2018? By Peter Koenig and Press TV, May 23, 2018 US President Donald Trump has blamed Chinese President Xi Jinping for a change in North Korea’s tone following Washington’s landmark overtures with Pyongyang. The Corbyn Effect By William Bowles, May 23, 2018 Corbyn’s Phoenix-like rise signifies the last gasp of the old social democratic contract between capital and labour, when the organised working class took a little more of the wealth they created, back via the social contract, not necessarily as money but principally via the social wage; the NHS; public housing, social benefits, greater state regulation of capital, nationalisations, some progressive ...

An Elite Coalition Emerges Against a Trump-Kim Agreement

NOVANEWS Media coverage of the Trump-Kim summit has highlighted a political reaction that threatens to torpedo any possible U.S-North Korean agreement on denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, says Gareth Porter. By Gareth Porter Consortiumnews An implicit coalition of corporate media, Democratic partisans and others loyal to the national security state are actively hostile to any agreement that would endanger the continuation of the 70-year-old Cold War between the United States and North Korea. The hostility toward Donald Trump on the part of both corporate media (except for Fox News) and the Democratic Party establishment is obviously a factor in the negative response to the summit. Trump’s dysfunctional persona, extremist domestic strategy and attacks on the press had a...

The Kim-Trump Summit: Why Now? Why Not Before? Why Not Later?

NOVANEWS By Prof. Joseph H. Chung Global Research Early in the morning of June 12, 2018, the world watched Kim Jong-un, supreme leader of North Korea and Donald Trump, president of the United States shaking hands in front of the main entrance of Hotel Capella in Singapore. It was a hand-shake of the century. And the world was puzzled. After all, only a few months ago, they were exchanging not-so- friendly remarks on each other and, now, they shook hands as if they were friends who met again after long separation. How is this possible? We must remember that the global cold war between the U.S.-led world and the Soviet-led part of the world lasted for forty years from 1950 to 1990, while the bilateral cold war between North Korea and the U.S.- South Korea alliance lasted alrea...

NOVANEWS By Global Research News Global Research Ex-Mossad Chief: Best Part of My Job Was Having ‘a License to Crime’ By Richard Silverstein, June 19, 2018 When asked about what issue took the lion’s share of his attention as Mossad chief, he answers that Iran took up 80% of the agency’s operational agenda. For those of us who’ve long criticized Israel’s obsession with Iran and suspected it was a pressure valve exploited by Israeli leaders who sought to avoid issues like Palestine, Pardo’s admission makes one realize how much time the Mossad wasted on chimeras like this. The Problem with Lamenting “Acceptance” of Kim Jong-un By Hugh Gusterson, June 19, 2018 As one might expect of any event starring Donald Trump, reaction to the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore has been polarized...

Korean American activist on Singapore Summit response

NOVANEWS By C. Kim C. Kim is a Korean American anti-war activist and organizer with the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism). They posted the following status on their personal Facebook page. This is long, but I need to get it off my chest because I am seeing way too many well-meaning folks allowing their opposition to Trump to turn into inadvertent opposition to the reunification of the Korean Peninsula. Know your history. Korea was colonized by Japan for 35 years. This was a brutally violent occupation. Ex: Koreans were flogged for speaking Korean. Over 100,000 Korean women were abducted and made to be sex slaves for the Japanese Imperial Army. Then, at the end of WWII, two young U.S. naval officers hastily and arbitrarily divided Korea using a small National Geogra...

NOVANEWS By Global Research News Global Research Pro-GMO Activism and Smears Masquerade as Journalism: From Seralini to Jairam Ramesh, Aruna Rodrigues Puts the Record Straight By Colin Todhunter and Aruna Rodrigues, June 17, 2018 Rodrigues accuses Sandhya Ramesh of dubbing anything that is a proper critique of GMOs based on ‘independent’ science (the distinction is important) as the work of ‘anti-GMO’ activists. She argues that a properly researched piece would have entailed weeks of serious research into the various studies carried out by Seralini and his team over the last decade as well as the reappraisal of Bt brinjal (October 2009 to February 2010) ordered by Jairam Ramesh.
