My heart goes out to the North Korean people, Korea in general. Thank you for this very important information 2018-03-01T17:59:59Z Comment by Albert Neville Great interview. Just a minor point - the continual mouse clicking is highly distracting. I am very OCD. 2018-02-17T18:54:08Z Comment by Sheila N Thank you for a fantastic interview, Eva. Christine Hong's delivery and content were really interesting. I was glad to hear something of the origin of the figures on political prisoners. We have republished this at https://candobetter.net/node/5408. The United States policy and attitude towards North (and South) Korea really shows it up as not much different from the 3rd Reich, in terms of wanting to rule the world on its own terms and without mercy. Our only hope is to get out more information like this. 2018-02-17T10:03:03Z Comment by Charles Park We should also recognize that the unending war is a joint project of the U.S. and North Korea. One reason, US propaganda is very successful is because North Korea has sealed itself off hermetically from the rest of the world. True, it has evolved this partly or defensive purposes. However, a cultish Dynasty has evolved in North Korea that uses a Cult like ideology to maintain its control. That said, it is also a nuclear power and both sides need to be careful to avoid an accidental war. It's really up to a liberal president like President Moon of South Korea to attempt to bridge the divide, a difficult matter considering North Korea's real and justified paranoia and US obstinance and various interests in maintaining the conflict. Koreans continue to pay the price for losing their country in the early 20th century. 2018-02-15T18:20:01Z Comment by Kwan Nam Informative Interview. We should do all we can to officially end the US-Korean War that's been going on for 65 years. 2018-02-13T18:38:25Z
