 So nice to have Felix on the show today to talk about the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK = North Korea), to share his unbiased, boots-on-the-ground experiences there.

Felix Abt is a serial entrepreneur and, periodically, a coach, trainer and consultant. During his career, he has developed and managed a variety of businesses in different countries. He worked as a senior executive at multinational corporations such as the Swiss-Swedish ABB Group, a global leader in automation and power technologies; the F. Hoffmann-La Roche Group, a global leader in healthcare and the Zuellig Group Inc., a leading Asian distribution and trading group. He also worked with smaller and medium-sized enterprises, in both mature and new markets.

He also feels privileged to have had the opportunity to strengthen his expertise as an investor and director of multiple companies. Thus far, he has lived and worked in nine countries, including Vietnam and North Korea, on three different continents.

His basis for going abroad was to learn and observe, not to pass judgment and not to propagate his personal views or to lecture – or even “liberate” – other people.

Furthermore, he is glad that he could gain experience in capacity building, by organizing and carrying out a diverse range of training courses, from Spain to Egypt to Ivory Coast to North Korea and Vietnam. He was pleased to see a number of his former employees in these countries become successful entrepreneurs in their own rights.

He also became a lobbyist (against all odds) as president of the first foreign chamber of commerce in North Korea, advocating for reforms and a level-playing field for all businesses and against strangulating sanctions by foreign powers. His first book ‘A Capitalist in North Korea: My Seven Years in the Hermit Kingdom’ echoes his experiences there. It was both the most exciting and the most challenging period of his career. It was also highly rewarding to witness firsthand, and sometimes even contribute to, MANY FIRSTS that nobody would have expected from the world’s most isolated, under-reported and misrepresented country:

The first fast food restaurant selling ‘happy meals’, the first café selling Western gourmet coffee; the first miniskirts and high heels; the first Mickey Mouse and Hello Kitty bags; the legalization of markets and advertising; the first North Korean debit card, with which he went shopping; the first technocrats, rather than party committees, running state-enterprises; a foodstuff company’s first robot, made by ABB, a multinational group for which he was the chief representative in Pyongyang; the multiplication of all sorts of small private business; the development of private farming; the emergence of a middle class and a drop in poverty; cosmetic surgery in the capital, even though it was illegal, people watching foreign movies and reading foreign books, despite censorship; the first business school, which he co-founded and ran; the first e-commerce, set up by North Korean painters and himself, selling their paintings around the globe; the first North Koreans dancing Rock ‘n Roll, with him; the first foreign chamber of commerce, which he co-founded and chaired; the first North Korean enterprise, a pharmaceutical factory which he ran as CEO, winning contracts in competitive bidding against foreign companies; the first quality pharmacy chain which he launched; the first software joint venture company exporting award-winning medical software, which he co-founded, and many more.

His biggest disappointment in North Korea was that his pet project, electrifying North Korean provinces far from the capital to lift millions of North Koreans from poverty, was thwarted by the actions of foreign powers.

His biggest satisfaction was to have contributed to the prevention of accidents and to save miners’ lives by helping to modernize North Korean mines and to save countless more lives of North Korean patients thanks to locally made quality medicine at affordable prices, before foreign-imposed sanctions sabotaged these endeavors.

Felix Abt was a shareholder of several legitimate Joint Venture companies in North Korea (medicine, food, garments and software) which have been driven into bankruptcy by U.N. “sanctions” from the mid-2010s.

Abt considers himself a politically neutral businessman and, therefore, does not share partisan views about North Korea. He is, however, critical of biased North Korea reporting and does what he can to contribute to a more objective view of the country. He knows, from direct personal experience, the true state of affairs in North Korea much better than the journalists, bloggers, podcasters and pundits who love to prate about it, often with little factual basis to their commentary.

To try and balance the narrative he has written not only ‘A Capitalist in North Korea’, but also a second book ‘A Land of Prison Camps, Starving Slaves and Nuclear Bombs?’

He keeps Twitter and LinkedIn accounts:

The Ghosts of Jeju: America’s forgotten massacre (Video & Commentary)

Our articles depend on you for their effectiveness. Share with kin, coworkers and friends.

Before the world became more widely aware of US criminality through the war in Vietnam, there was the Korean War, variously labeled "a police action" by the UN; the first war against "communist expansion" by the State Department, and, as I.F. Stone aptly called it, "the forgotten war".  The Korean War ended "de facto" in 1953 (but it continues de jure to this day) so by the time the Vietnam War rolled in the 1960s most people had become accustomed to thinking Korea was a much milder and smaller affair. In that, they would be terribly wrong. Korea saw the US armed forces engaged in all-out savage warfare costing millions of lives across the peninsula. As in Vietnam, North Korea was bombed relentlessly by the US, not leaving a single piece of significant critical infrastructure—bridges, canals, water plants, hospitals, etc.—nor many villages, towns and cities standing. It was a war punctuated by international war crimes by the American ("the Allies") side, which used chemical and, even more reprehensibly, biological weapons against animals and the human population. The barbarity of the attack, stimulated by fierce ideological anti-communism and a fair dose of racist colonialism, was apparently not enough for some military leaders who clamored for permission to nuke the Koreans and their chief allies, the Chinese, to radioactive smithereens, or to the "Stone Age" as USAF Gen. Curtis LeMay, the man who had firebombed most Japanese cities to oblivion, so memorably suggested. 


Obviously, as usual, the truth about the Korean war could not be presented to the US public (and the rest of the world) in all its shocking ghastliness and moral turpitude, so the Western engines of propaganda quickly went to work to turn reality upside down, and they did. The West remains unsurpassed in this kind of exercise. In most American minds the Korean war remains a fuzzy memory, largely defined by mythologised stories invariably presenting the American side as the "good guys" heroically fighting for democracy and freedom, giving Hershey bars to Asian kids, and other noble gestures. Many of Hollywood's biggest stars were enlisted for this project. No doubt—like the rest of the heavily propagandised US population— most of these celebrities never questioned the veracity of the message they were so enthusiastically endorsing. Granted, this was probably more likely to be the case in the immediate postwar period, from 1945 to 1965, before some of the truth about US foreign policy and American intentions began to finally seep out as a result of inquests, revelations and the sheer magnitude of the accumulated crimes. Unfortunately, to demolish existing and well-entrenched propaganda you need more than occasional pushback, you need a powerful counter-narrative that must remain easily accessible to the majority of the population. That this has yet to materialise in the West is demonstrated by the successful tsunami of lies (and unchallenged censorship) upending the truth about the Ukraine War, a conflict that could easily land humanity in a terminal nuclear confrontation.

Selling the Korean War: Hollywood and the press to the rescue
For no less than four decades, from the 1950s thru the 1980s, Hollywood cranked out quite a few films to whitewash the US role in Korea (and Asia at large). The most notable are listed below. The vast majority of these concoctions were melodramas.

1. The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954). U.S. Navy Lieutenant Harry Brubaker William Holden) is a Naval Reserve Aviator who is called back to active duty from his civilian profession as an attorney to fly F9F Panthers in the Korean War. Mickey Rooney and Earl Holliman play endearing rescue chopper characters, while Fredric March (as Rear Admiral Tarrant) injects the necessary gravitas as the carrier force commander. The script, permeated with US exceptionalism, follows closely James Michener’s 1953 novel, about a crew of Navy aviators assigned to bomb bridges in North Korea. The monstrosity of this attack is never hinted at in the film, as punishing "reds" is always taken as the right thing to do. The movie ends on a note of sentimentality with Adml. Tarrant, upon being told of Brubaker's death, asking, "Where do we get such men?" Ironically, considering the criminal record of US bombing around the globe since the close of WW2, particularly in the Korean and Indochinese peninsulas, this is surely a question that must have popped into many minds at the receiving end of such airstrikes, and certainly many thoughtful anti-war activists.

2. Battle Hymn (1957) —Haunted by a deadly mistake he made as a World War II bomber pilot, Reverend Dean Hess (Rock Hudson) re-enlists at the beginning of the Korean War to bomb commies and rescue orphans largely created by Western intervention. His faithful wife, Mary (Martha Hyer), is unable to keep him at home.

3. M*A*S*H. (1970).  The official description for this celebrated film has never rung true to me. Supposedly, the staff of a Korean War field hospital use humor and high jinks to keep their sanity in the face of the horrors of war. This is a theme that probably would never fly except in a war-ignorant and self-indulgent culture like America. The TV series, if anything, is worse, since the show's constant antics, with a bunch of improbable characters that often behave like juveniles, and which takes the Americans' presence in Korea (and Vietnam) as a God-given right, completely erase any semblance of the actual effects of Western imperialism. The bottom line is that, whatever the intentions of the liberal producers, for untold millions of people around the world, starting with the US audiences, M*A*S*H (TV) is the warm and friendly face of US imperialism. Watching Alda, Swit, Stevenson, Burghoff, Farrell, Morgan and the rest carry on, having loads of fun (punctuated by obligatory laugh tracks) as if there's really no war in sight, who wouldn't want to be invaded by Americans? By golly, they're swell folks!

4. MacArthur (1977). Gregory Peck, an old-fashioned liberal who always conveyed admirable moral rectitude, starred in not one but two films about Korea, MacArthur (1977) and Pork Chop Hill (1959), the latter focusing on an iconic Korean war battle).

5. Inchon (1981). In this one it is Sir Laurence Olivier who serves the anglo empire by his own impersonation of MacArthur. Olivier was criticised for taking the part, but he simply said he needed the money, which he probably did at that point in his life. Inchon was financed by Unification movement founder Sun Myung Moon. 

We could list more films and media artifacts—books, DVDs, stage and radio dramas, etc.—but the point is made.  The ugly truth about the Korean War lies buried under a mountain of expert falsifications. This is why instruments to rectify this fake history are so precious. The world needs voices that can shake the complacency of the official narrative, so that US imperialism cannot go on attacking people around the globe with virtual total impunity. Maine documentarian and peace activist Regis Tremblay has dedicated his life to bringing suppressed truths to the forefront. He does this tirelessly through YouTube video programs, podcasts and documentaries like the one featured on this post, focusing on the largely suppressed Jeju rebellion. It's telling and extremely interesting that a mostly CIA-redacted source like Wikipedia admits (see excerpt below) that something terribly ugly happened in "South Korea" in 1948/49. The violence unleashed against dissidents by the US-supported regime of Syngman Rhee is likely to have played a significant role in the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950.

Jeju uprising

The Jeju uprising, known in South Korea as the Jeju April 3 incident[5] (Korean제주 4·3 사건), was an uprising on Jeju Island from April 1948 to May 1949. Residents of Jeju opposed to the division of Korea had protested and had been on a general strike since 1947 against elections scheduled by the United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea (UNTCOK) to be held only in the territory controlled by the United States Army Military Government in Korea. The Workers' Party of South Korea (WPSK) and its supporters launched an insurgency in April 1948, attacking the police, and Northwest Youth League members stationed on Jeju mobilized to violently suppress the protests.[1]: 166–167 [6] The First Republic of Korea under President Syngman Rhee escalated the suppression of the uprising from August 1948, declaring martial law in November and beginning an "eradication campaign" against rebel forces in the rural areas of Jeju in March 1949, defeating them within two months. Many rebel veterans and suspected sympathizers were later killed upon the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, and the existence of the Jeju uprising was officially censored and repressed in South Korea for several decades.[7]: 41 

Jeju inhabitants awaiting execution.

The Jeju uprising was notable for its extreme violence; between 14,000 and 30,000 people (10 percent of Jeju's population) were killed, and 40,000 fled to Japan.[6][8][9][1]: 139, 193  Atrocities and war crimes were committed by both sides, but historians have noted that the methods used by the South Korean government to suppress protesters and rebels were especially cruel, with violence against civilians by pro-government forces contributing to the Yeosu-Suncheon rebellion in South Jeolla during the conflict.[1]: 171 [6][7]: 13–14 [1]: 186  Some historians and scholars, including military historian Allan R. Millett, regard the Jeju uprising as the true beginning of the Korean War.[10]

Why Does the West Hate North Korea?

Our articles depend on you for their effectiveness. Share with kin, coworkers and friends.


editors log bluePATRICE GREANVILLE


Anti North Korean propaganda is so pervasive, so vicious, and so obsessive that it easily outstrips the anticommunist vitriol dispensed to other nations designated as "enemies" by the perennially sanctimonious "indispensable nation".  Such unrelenting hybrid war by the empire's minions is designed not only to keep the victimised nation isolated and in penury, but to serve notice to other nations that anyone defying Uncle Sam's diktats is also liable to find itself in similar sorry circumstances. In any case, here's perhaps the best and most lucid denunciation and rebuttal of the arch-hypocritical effluvia emanating from the US disinformation machine and that of its vassal states. It was penned by our editor emeritus André Vltchek. —PG

Why Does the West Hate North Korea?

North Korea's capital subway—spotless.  No one visiting North Korea today can understand how these people, after a genocidal attack by the West, managed to rebuild their nation in such a glorious way. (Photo: A. Vltchek)

How much more can one country endure?

More than 60 years ago, millions of people above the 38th parallel died. They were literally slaughtered by the US-led coalition.

After that, after its victory, North Korea was never left in peace. The West has been provoking it, threatening it, imposing brutal sanctions and of course, manipulating global public opinion.

Why? There are several answers. The simple one is: because it is Communist and because it wants to follow its own course! As Cuba has been doing for decades… As several Latin American countries were doing lately.

Typical warmongering against North Korea, by a supposedly reputable publication. Not an atom of human solidarity with a clear victim of large-scale aggression. In reality, for most of the world the question is, can the American sociopathic hegemon be stopped?


But there is one more, much more complex answer: because the DPRK fought for its principles at home, and it fought against Western imperialism abroad. It helped to liberate colonized and oppressed nations. And, like Cuba, it did it selflessly, as a true internationalist state.

The African continent benefited the most, including Namibia and Angola, when they were suffering from horrific apartheid regimes imposed on them by South Africa. It goes without saying that these regimes were fully sponsored by the West, as was the racist madness coming from Pretoria (let us also not forget that the fascist, apartheid South Africa was one of the countries that was fighting, on the side of the West, during the Korean War).


Cars made in North Korea—did you know they even made modern automobiles? Of course not.

Free housing in Pyongyang. Compare that to the US "projects"

The West never forgot nor ‘forgave’ the DPRK’s internationalist help to many African nations. North Korean pilots were flying Egyptian fighter planes in the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. The DPRK was taking part in the liberation struggle in Angola (it participated in combat operations, alongside the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA)), it fought in Rhodesia, Lesotho, Namibia (decisively supporting SWAPO) and in the Seychelles. It aided the African National Congress in its struggle against apartheid in South Africa. In the past, it had provided assistance to then progressive African nations, including Guinea, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Mali and Tanzania.

The fact that people of the DPRK spilled their blood for freedom in the most devastated (by the Western imperialism) continent on earth – Africa – is one of the main reasons why the West is willing to go ‘all the way’, trying to “punish”, systematically discredit, even to liquidate this proud nation. The West is obsessed with harming North Korea, as it was for decades obsessed with destroying Cuba. 

North Korea has painfully built an advanced weapons inventory capable of keeping the empire and its accomplices at bay. For that, it is accused of being "an international security threat". To whom?

The West plundered Africa, an enormous continent rich in resources, for centuries. It grew wealthy on this loot. Anybody who tried to stop it, had to be liquidated.

The DPRK was pushed into a corner, tormented and provoked. When Pyongyang reacted, determined to protect itself, the West declared that defense was actually “illegal” and that it represented true “danger to the world”.

FILE PHOTO KOREA - UNDATED: (FILE PHOTO) U.S. troops emerge from tandem helicopters onto an open field during the Korean War (1950 - 1953).  (Photo by Archive Photos/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

The DPRK refused to surrender its independence and its path – it continued developing its defensive nuclear program. The West’s propaganda apparatus remained in top gear, spreading toxic fabrications and polluted the entire Planet with them. As a result, the entire world is convinced that “North Korea is evil”, but it has absolutely no idea, why? The entire charade is built on clichés, but almost no one challenges it.

Christopher Black, a prominent international lawyer based in Toronto, Canada, considers new sanctions against the DPRK as a true danger to the world peace:

“Chapter VII of the UN Charter states that the Security Council can take measures against a country if there is a threat to the peace and this is the justification they are using for imposing the sanctions. However, it is not the DPRK that is creating a threat to the peace, but the USA which is militarily threatening the DPRK with annihilation. The DPRK has clearly stated its nuclear weapons are only to deter an American attack which is the threat to the peace.

The fact that the US, as part of the SC is imposing sanctions on a country it is threatening is hypocritical and unjust. That the Russians and Chinese have joined the US in this instead of calling for sanctions against the US for its threats against the DPRK and its new military exercises which are a clear and present danger to the DPRK is shameful. If the Russians and Chinese are sincere why don’t they insist that the US draw down its forces there so the DPRK feels less threatened and take steps to guarantee the security of the DPRK? They do not explain their actions but their actions make them collaborators with the USA against the DPRK.”

US/NATO Threatens the DPRK, China and Russia’s Far East

The US/NATO military bases in Asia (and in other parts of the world) are actually the main danger to the DPRK, to China and to the Russian “Far East”.

Enormous air force bases located in Okinawa (Kadena and Futenma), as well as the military bases on the territory of the ROK, are directly threatening North Korea, which has all rights to defend itself and its citizens.

It is also thoroughly illogical to impose sanctions on the victim and not on the empire, which is responsible for hundreds of millions of lost human lives in all corners of the Globe.


Addendum
The US war on Korea remains an international war crime worthy of a Nuremberg tribunal. Same for Vietnam later. And, it should be noted, this Wiki page, from which we quote, conveniently forgets about America's bacteriological and chemical warfare on Korea, including the liberal use of napalm. 

Even the CIA-influenced Wikipedia recognises the savagery of US bombing of Korea. Please read the following passage, and hopefully the whole page later:

A B-29 dropping 1,000 lb bombs over Korea, August 1951

The bombing of North Korea
Air forces of the United Nations Command carried out an extensive bombing campaign against North Korea from 1950 to 1953 during the Korean War. It was the first major bombing campaign for the United States Air Force (USAF) since its inception in 1947 from the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). During the campaign, conventional weapons such as explosives, incendiary bombs, and napalm destroyed nearly all of the country's cities and towns, including an estimated 85 percent of its buildings.[1]

On 17 November 1950, General MacArthur told U.S. Ambassador to Korea John J. Muccio, "Unfortunately, this area will be left a desert." By "this area" MacArthur meant the entire area between "our present positions and the border."[10]

In May 1951, an international fact finding team from East Germany, West Germany, China, and the Netherlands stated, "The members, in the whole course of their journey, did not see one town that had not been destroyed, and there were very few undamaged villages."[11]

On 25 June 1951, General O'Donnell, commander of the Far Eastern Air Force Bomber Command, testified in answer to a question from Senator John C. Stennis ("...North Korea has been virtually destroyed, hasn't it?): "Oh, yes; ... I would say that the entire, almost the entire Korean Peninsula is just a terrible mess. Everything is destroyed. There is nothing standing worthy of the name ... Just before the Chinese came in we were grounded. There were no more targets in Korea."[12]
(Bombing of North Korea, Wikipedia)

#GoingAcrosstheYaluRiver #Engsub #ChinaDrama


At last, we are beginning to see —and heartily celebrate—a serious effort by China to produce enough cultural artifacts—movies, songs, technology fads (i.e., TikTok), etc.— to compete with the West's long-held de facto monopoly in soft power. The West's overwhelming propaganda advantage translates into incalculable suffering and death for until numbers in the Global South. What we desperately need is a YouTube platform free of "woke" regulations designed to strangle authentic free speech, and big tech giants based in sovereign nations capable of displacing Facebook, Google, Twitter and the rest of the imperialist media vehicles.

Enemy on the doorstep: China’s involvement in the Korean War (Video)

Our articles depend on you for their effectiveness. Share with kin, coworkers and friends.



CGTN

On October 1, 1950, a large crowd filled Tiananmen Square in Beijing. They were celebrating the first anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, the nascent state received letters from the leaders of two of its neighbors on the day – leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Il Sung and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, asking for military assistance. How did this come about? CGTN's documentary "Enemy on the Doorstep: China's Involvement in the Korean War" shows you what was behind the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, which defined history. #KoreanWar1950 #China #Korea Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://goo.gl/lP12gA Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvn...
