Korea
The U.S. media and political authorities unanimously ridiculed the intense emotions that were displayed in public by the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on the sudden death of their leader, Kim Jong Il. How could such grief be genuine, they asked, implying that somehow the socialist government in the north forced people to weep in public as Kim’s funeral cortege drove by....

I’m sure you all have heard the news about the death of the leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Kim Jong Il. But you didn’t just get the news; you got it packaged in a wave of propaganda against the DPRK.

The U.S. government has carried out so many wars and invasions since World War
II that just listing them all would take a whole page. Most people living in
the U.S. have only a vague idea of the terrible damage this imperialist
government has inflicted on the world — always in the name of peace and
democracy....

When a “crisis” regarding Korea suddenly appears in the U.S.
corporate media, their take is always that the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea (socialist north Korea) has done something totally irrational
to cause it. They totally disregard the facts of what happened and, of equal importance,
what led up to it....

It took almost 60 years, but the government of south Korea has finally admitted
what many in the younger generation had already found out through the
progressive movement there: Thousands of civilians were massacred by the south
Korean regime at the beginning of the 1950-53 war, for no other reason than
that they were considered sympathizers with the communist revolutionaries who
had liberated the north of Korea from Japanese rule during World War II and
were now battling U.S. imperialism....

SsangYong Motor is not exactly a household name, even among autoworkers here.
Smaller than Hyundai, Kia and GM-Daewoo, this Korean auto firm only produces
vehicles for the domestic market. Members of the United Auto Workers, however,

plant in Pyeongtaek, South Korea....

of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, on June 25. This massive
crowd in a country of only 22 million people gathered at a rally and

Imperialism.” The event marked the anniversary of the day in 1950 when
the U.S. started the war which killed millions of Korean people....

When it became clear that the countries of the Organization of American
States—all but one—would vote on June 3 to readmit Cuba to
membership, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, representing the one,
walked out.
Cuba has applauded the efforts of member countries to finally reverse its
expulsion from the OAS, which Washington had engineered in 1962 after the
failure of its invasion of Cuba. But Havana has said “no thanks” to
reentering the OAS, which for half a century has done Washington’s
bidding....

It is impossible to find objective reporting about the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea in the U.S. corporate media. When Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton went to Japan and China recently for her first official visit to Asia,
she did what no diplomat is ever supposed to do: launched into a wildly
speculative and personal attack on DPRK leader Kim Jong Il. Instead of
chastising her for poisoning the atmosphere and precluding the
“openness” in foreign relations promised by the new administration,
the media gleefully egged her on....

As told by most history textbooks in the U.S., the Korean War started with a

reality was very different....
