Korea: Peace Breaks Out, Despite McMaster
"Do Ryom and Kim really deserve to be vaporized because of a war that ended nearly 70 years ago?"

"Listen to the state-‘guided’ US media this past week and you’d believe a series of spontaneous anti-government protests broke out across Iran. The protests, according to President Donald Trump and his Israeli allies, were caused by `anger over Iran’s spending billions on wars in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon and helping the Palestinian movement Hamas.’ Trump tweeted that Iranians were finally rising up against what he called their hated, brutal regime. Talk about manufactured news."
"One of the reasons that Americans are unable to draw the parallels between Great Britain and the United States is that the U.S. version of empire hasn’t followed the British model. Instead of converting foreign lands into colonies, the U.S. government has followed the Soviet Union’s model of empire that was established in Eastern Europe. It uses local proxies or 'puppets' to serve as agents for the U.S. government, just as the Soviets did in Eastern European countries. This has enabled the United States to maintain the façade of supporting 'independent' regimes in the countries it controls, which just happen to 'invite' the United States to maintain military bases in their countries."
"Are you a dictator in need of public support for your latest draconian clampdown on dissent? Or a deep state plotter hoping to topple a foreign government who doesn't comply with your every wish? A low-level Machiavellian schemer looking for the ultimate trick for defeating your enemies without lifting a finger? Then look no further than this handy-dandy guide to 'How To Engineer A Crisis.'"
"Kahn emphasized 'a wide field of intelligence cooperation and defense cooperation have been suspended,' but added the supply lines for NATO troops in Afghanistan would remain open. There was little mention of the fate of CIA drone bases operating in the country."
"The Trump Administration decided Monday to deport nearly 200,000 El Salvadoran refugees who fled gang violence and natural disasters. El Salvadorans received TPS in in 2001 after a series of earthquakes left tens of thousands homeless. The program was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990."
"In a memo sent to U.S. attorneys Thursday, Sessions noted that federal law prohibits the possession and sale of marijuana, and he undid four previous Obama administration memos that advised against bringing weed prosecutions in states where it was legal to use for recreational or medical purposes."
"The third trial of Cliven Bundy has ended in a mistrial. The prosecution failed to turn over documents that would have helped the defense. Two earlier trials ended in hung juries. On January 8th, a judge will decide if the case will be dismissed 'with prejudice,' meaning that it cannot be once again brought to trial. It is beginning to look like this is yet another case of government harassment. The prosecution is supposed to turn over all evidence that might help the defense, yet they failed to do so. A memo from a BLM investigator became public on December 15th, exposing the vast misconduct."
"These aren’t predictions at all. These are all stories that took place in 2017."
"Six-year-old Kameron was just 'collateral damage' in America’s militarized police war on the public — killed inadvertently by a deputy’s bullet which had missed its intended target (an unarmed woman), instead penetrating the flimsy wall of the trailer and the soft abdomen of the little kid who was playing peacefully by himself inside."
