VENEZUELA AND PRESIDENTIAL  LEGITIMACY by Mumia Abu-Jamal [col. writ. 1/24/19 © 2019 Mumia Abu-Jamal] Now the US President (Donald Trump) has decided that he will determine who is, and who isn't, the legitimate leader of a foreign country.

Singapore Summit: Korean American Activist Response

Korean American Activist on Singapore Summit Response By C. Kim https://resumen-english.org/2018/06/korean-americanactivist-on-singapore-summit-response/ 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 [...]

Trump’s Real War May Come On Heels of Trade Wars

by Yonden Lhatoo It’s time to be afraid, very afraid, with John Bolton as the United States’ new national security adviser. Of all the specimens of unhinged humanity in the purported pool of talent he’s been dipping into, Trump had to pull out the most reviled and discredited one. While Trump has publicly decried the Iraq invasion of 2003 as “a waste of blood and treasure” – both a reasonable admission of wrongdoing and callous euphemism for mass murder and the systematic destruction of an entire nation [...]
