NOVANEWS South Korea has launched an investigation into a prominent Catholic priest after he made remarks calling on the country's president to resign over the state spy agency and Defense Ministry's widespread manipulation of online leading up to last year's elections. Park Chang-shin, a priest from the Diocese of Jeonju and a member of the Catholic Priests’ Association for Justice who has been outspoken in his criticism of the president over the electioneering scandal, is under fire for his comments involving North Korea. During one of his recent homilies (full text [ko]), he said that “it was natural for the North to attack Yeonpyeong island since the United States and South Korea held joint military exercises near its sea border” referring to North Korean attack against that borde...

NOVANEWS   Proletarian issue 56 (October 2013)   Dictator Park’s daughter seems determined to live up to her father’s fascistic reputation.   The democratic façade of the US client state in south Korea has suffered a major blow with the arrest of several members of a progressive left-wing party, including one of its six members of parliament. On 28 August, the National Intelligence Service (NIS), south Korea’s secret police, previously known as the Korean CIA, launched two days of raids directed against the United Progressive Party (UPP) and its trade-union allies. Ten UPP offices and homes were raided and three party officials were arrested on charges of treason and sedition. Travel bans were imposed on 14 other party members. After a supine parliament had vot...

NOVANEWS   Japan recently cancelled a contract to purchase U.S. wheat due to the fact that it is polluted with GMOs, and now South Korea has done the same. Collective Evolution June 5, 2013 GMOs found its way into commercial wheat fields in approximately 16 states, most notably in Oregon. This created self-replicating genetic pollution that now has its grip on the entire wheat industry, which helps to make the food industry that’s dominated by biotech companies like Monsanto more transparent everyday. Any politician or scientists who tells you these GMO products are safe is either very stupid or lying – David Suzuki Last friday, South Korea announced that it is halting all imports of U.S. wheat due to the USDA’s recent announcement that commercial wheat grown in the USA is contam...

NOVANEWS U.S. 'has repeatedly pondered, planned and threatened the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea' By Stephen Gowans Launch pad for DPRK rocket This article was first published on the "what's left" blog on Feb. 16, 2013. It is re-published here with the author's permission. It has been slightly edited for style. Is North Korea’s recent nuclear test, its third, to be welcomed, lamented or condemned? It depends on your perspective. If you believe that a people should be able to organize their affairs free from foreign domination and interference; that the United States and its client government in Seoul have denied Koreans in the south that right and seek to deny Koreans in the north the same right; and that the best chance that Koreans in the north have for preserving the...

NOVANEWS By Gregory Elich Global Research With the presidential election in South Korea just two months away, efforts are underway to lock into place a policy of confrontation with that nation’s neighbor to the north. When current South Korean President Lee Myung-bak took office five years ago, he wasted little time in undoing the rapprochement that had been painstakingly built up during his predecessor’s term. All of the leading candidates in this year’s presidential race, including even Park Geun-hye of the conservative Grand National Party, hold more moderate positions on relations with North Korea than does President Lee. Neither Lee nor U.S. President Obama are keen on the prospect of warming relations between the two Koreas, and they are making every effort to forestall such an ev...

NOVANEWS Left, The boys are being taught that the metrosexual look is hip. LETTER FROM SOUTH KOREA: The Illuminati have given up on adults and focused on youth.  Ex-pat James Farganne wages a street-level battle against their  influence.  "At the end of the third day, all of my testimony about Illuminati Jewish methods of infiltrating a society was a matter of Korean court record. The judge reviewed the testimony and released me immediately. Despite indirect threats, I have experienced no further reprisals." by James Farganne As an ex-pat in South Korea, I am fortunate to be part of a society that has thus far rejected feminism. On Korean television, men are still generally portrayed as strong, loving fathers, husbands, and sons. Korean women, by and large, still practice the art of kno...

NOVANEWS The Ones We Know About What Has Been Kept From You, Beyond Classified    by  Gordon Duff, Senior Editor   We are told North Korea is poor, starving and totally broke.  We are told their missiles blow up on their launch pads, their nuclear bombs “fizzle out.”  We tell jokes about them, make fun of their leaders, talk about their isolation.  North Korea represents a clear and present danger to the safety of the United States and our government is lying to us about it. Yes, America is at it again. We lie. North Korea is isolated for a reason.   Most likely, a short time ago, the US destroyed a North Korean experimental weapon on the launch pad, using one of our own, a craft capable of inter-planetary travel and, thusly, one that is “just our imagination” like the ...
