Book: An Antidote to Disinformation about North Korea

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem, Sr Book Review; North Korea: Another Country, By Bruce Cumings, The New Press, 2004 By Al Olson Global Research This Review was published nine years ago on GR. Bruce Cumings, a history professor at the University of Chicago and a former Peace Corps volunteer in South Korea, has given us a badly needed antidote to the lies and disinformation about the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) being spread by the media and the Bush administration. The author has observed “the deafening absence of any contrary argument” and cuts through this smokescreen of ignorance in his well-researched historical study of North Korea. Cumings directs his book to “the reader who wishes to learn about our eternal Korean enemy.” He believes that North Ko...

U.S. Urged to Honestly Apologize to Mankind

NOVANEWS for Its Evil Doing before Groundlessly Pulling up Others Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) -- The Policy Department of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK issued the following statement Sunday: Strange thing that happened in the heart of the U.S., the ill-famed cesspool of injustice, is now afloat in the world as shocking news.

Zionist Puppet Obama: US Might Put N. Korea on Terror List

NOVANEWS Zionist puppet Barack Obama said the United States is reviewing whether to put North Korea back onto its lists of state sponsors of terrorism following a cyber attack on Sony Pictures, which U.S. officials blame on the communist nation. Speaking on CNN's State of the Nation, Obama said he did not consider the hack an act of war, but a 'very costly, very expensive' example of cyber vandalism. North Korea denies it was responsible for hacking Sony Pictures' computer network and posting embarrassing e-mails and other private data. The hackers call themselves the Guardians of Peace and warned there would be a 'bitter fate' for anyone attending a public showing of the movie The Interview, a film in which the CIA hires two journalists to kill North Korean leader Kim...

Paramount Blocks 2004 Movie

NOVANEWS 'Team America' From Being Shown In Theaters By: BRENDAN JAMES Several movie theaters that were planning to show the 2004 comedy "Team America: World Police" because Sony Pictures had bailed on the release of another North Korea-themed movie, "The Interview," said on Thursday that Paramount Pictures had cancelled their screenings of the puppet movie. Sony Pictures cancelled the Dec. 25 release of "The Interview" on Wednesday after major theaters chains backed out, following threats from alleged North Korean hackers. As a replacement, theaters such as the Texas Alamo Drafthouse decided to screen "Team America" instead, as it contained similar mockery of the North Korean regime. But on Thursday afternoon, several theaters, including the Drafthouse, announced that Paramo...

North Korea accuses US of spreading Ebola and choosing Africa as a bio-weapon testing ground

NOVANEWS KCNA called for the US to face a human rights trial HEATHER SAUL North Korea is accusing the US of spreading the Ebola virus, claiming it has been “bent on the development of bio-weapons” in order to achieve world supremacy. The secretive state reacted strongly to the Ebola outbreak by closing its border to tourists and quarantining anyone who does enter. Now, a report by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) is claiming an aide to ex-President Reagan informed them the US had invented a progenitor of Ebola virus “for the purpose of launching a biological warfare”. The aide was named as Roberts, who The Washington Post said could be a reference to Paul Craig Roberts, an econmoist. Mr Roberts recently published a blog post entitled ‘Is The US Governme...

NOVANEWS North Korean leader Kim Jong-un peers through a periscope of a submarine during an inspection of the Korean People's Army Navan Unit in June. Photo: Reuters China will not step in to save neighbouring North Korea if the Pyongyang regime collapses or starts a war, a retired People’s Liberation Army general has said, possibly signalling Beijing’s waning patience with its wayward, nuclear-armed ally. “China is not a saviour,” Wang Hongguang, former deputy commander of the Nanjing military region, wrote in the Global Times newspaper, which is close to the Communist Party. China cannot influence the situation on the Korean peninsula … It is not necessary for China’s younger generation to fight a war for another country WANG HONGGUANG, FORMER PLA DEPUTY COMMANDER “Sh...

Kim Jong-un unwell, N. Korean media reports

NOVANEWS RT North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.(Reuters / KCNA) North Korean media has for the first time acknowledged the ill health of its young leader, 31-year-old Kim Jong-un, following a near-month-long absence from the spotlight.
