South Korea pays over US$ 3.1.billion for annual cost of U.S. troops -
Democracy and Class Struggle says paying those who divide your country billions of dollars is a racket that Major General Smedley Butler would recognize.
Trump cancels the Summit with North Korea : North Korea wants negotiations not submission - the deal maker cannot deal !
Democracy and Class Struggle would like there to have seen a successful summit in Singapore but with Bolton and Pence opening their mouths and active sabotage of Moon Jae In's push for Peace on the Korean Peninsula in Washington and the appointment of Harry B Harris as US Ambassador to South Korea - the omens were not good.
Next time Trump talks about negotiations it should be that and not threats via Bolton and Pence.
We also note this letter was sent by President Trump a few hours after North Korea in a act of good faith destroyed its nuclear test facilities.
India: Pre Planned Massacre in Tutucorin (Thoothukudi) - Tamil Nadu By Harsh Thakor

THE LIGHT OF JUSTICE SHOULD SHIMMER ALL OVER WITH THE EFFECT OF A SWORD PIERCING THROUGH FLESH SYMBOLIZING THE WRATH OF THE PEOPLE AGAINST THIS GRAVE INJUSTICE PERPETRATED.
CONDEMN THIS FASCIST GENOCIDE BY THE STATE IN TAMIL NADU .THERE COULD BE NO MORE PROOF THAT MORALLY THE STATE IS FASCIST AND TRAMPLES UPON THE ANY PROTEST TO PROTECT PEOPLES LIVELIHOOD TO BLESS THE ANTI-PEOPLE CORPORATES.
MAY THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE SHOT BE PERMANENTLY WRITTEN IN RED BLOOD SYMBOLIZING THE WRATH AGAINST FASCISM AND THE INEXTINGUISHABLE SPIRIT OF THE OPPRESSED TO EXTINGUISH IT.
PROTESTS SHOULD SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE ENGULFING EVERY NOOK AND CORNER OF THE NATION
War on people extended to Tamil Nadu!
For the Loot of Vedanta at least 18 people killed ( 11 officially confirmed )in police firing at Tutucurine (Thoothukudi)) in a protest rally against Vedanta Sterlite plant!
The district is sealed...
Raise your voice for Thoothukudi's
heroic people!
Down with the repression!
The tremor in his voice is evident as Godwin Jose begins to recount the horror of police firing in the protest rally against Sterlite on May 22. The 23-year-old from Sorispuram in Thoothukudi was among the tens of thousands of people who had gathered to take out the rally which ended with bloody violence leaving at 11 dead and several injured.
“The police opened fire when we tried to enter the Collectorate. So, we stepped away and sat somewhere outside. That was when there was a lathicharge too. Fearing lathicharge, we entered the Collectorate again, and there was shooting again,” Godwin says.
Godwin has no shred of doubt that the firing was pre-planned. “It looked as if the police were singling out those who were vocal, those who led the protests, and shot them above the abdomen,” he says.
“There was of course indiscriminate shooting, too, and many of us were hurt in the legs. But there were several rounds of fire, and we could see they were picking the targets at times. Thamizharasan, for example, was very active in the protest for quite some time. He has been shot dead. When you target the organisers and kill them, it is evident you want to kill the protest,” Godwin says.
Henry Tiphagne, executive director of People’s Watch, couldn’t agree more. “It was certainly planned and intended at quelling the protests,” he says.
On May 20, the district administration had called for a peace committee meeting in which over 20 organisations including traders’ associations and fishermen associations had participated. At this meeting, warnings were given against participating in the rally.
“We were advised against the protest rally in the meeting. The administration warned us against taking out a rally, since there were chances that it could turn violent. All of us agreed to hold a call-attention protest on a playground that was earmarked for us, and signed an agreement to that effect,” says S Raja of Tamil Nadu Vanigar Sangam (Traders Association). But the agreement did not go down well with many other protestors.
THIS DAY SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN BLACK LETTERS IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND AND IS A TESTIMONY OF FASCISM THAT EXISTS TODAY.ANGER SHOULD SIMMER ALL OVER THE COUNTRY LIKE A HUGE BOILING POT BURSTING OR A BIG BUILDING SET ON FIRE.
North Korea's vice-foreign minister Choe Son Hui Statement on US / NK relations
Below is the full report carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency.
At an interview with Fox News on May 21, US Vice-President Pence made unbridled and impudent remarks that North Korea might end like Libya, military option for North Korea never came off the table, the US needs complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation, and so on.
As a person involved in the US affairs, I cannot suppress my surprise at such ignorant and stupid remarks gushing out from the mouth of the US vice-president.
If he is vice-president of "single superpower" as is in name, it will be proper for him to know even a little bit about the current state of global affairs and to sense to a certain degree the trends in dialogue and the climate of détente.
We could surmise more than enough what a political dummy he is as he is trying to compare the DPRK, a nuclear weapon state, to Libya that had simply installed a few items of equipment and fiddled around with them.
Soon after the White House National Security Adviser Bolton made the reckless remarks, Vice-President Pence has again spat out nonsense that the DPRK would follow in Libya's footstep.
It is to be underlined, however, that in order not to follow in Libya's footstep, we paid a heavy price to build up our powerful and reliable strength that can defend ourselves and safeguard peace and security in the Korean peninsula and the region.
In view of the remarks of the US high-ranking politicians who have not yet woken up to this stark reality and compare the DPRK to Libya that met a tragic fate, I come to think that they know too little about us.
To borrow their words, we can also make the US taste an appalling tragedy it has neither experienced nor even imagined up to now.
Before making such reckless threatening remarks without knowing exactly who he is facing, Pence should have seriously considered the terrible consequences of his words.
It is the US who has asked for dialogue, but now it is misleading the public opinion as if we have invited them to sit with us.
I only wonder what is the ulterior motive behind its move and what is it the US has calculated to gain from that.
We will neither beg the US for dialogue nor take the trouble to persuade them if they do not want to sit together with us.
Whether the US will meet us at a meeting room or encounter us at nuclear-to-nuclear showdown is entirely dependent upon the decision and behavior of the United States.
In case the US offends against our goodwill and clings to unlawful and outrageous acts, I will put forward a suggestion to our supreme leadership for reconsidering the DPRK-US summit.
