Korea is fascinating and unique. A country that was once part of the Chinese Han Manchurian Empire, and was granted total Independence as a Nation by China a long long time ago, and then basically obliterated by, firstly Japan, then US and USSR, so obliterated that the country was split among warring brothers into North (supported by USSR) & South (supported by Western Forces)...a country that has remained 'at war' with itself for over 60 years. There is only one Korea. These two warring brothers should be left to work out their differences. It wouldn't take long. If every other nation just kept within its own borders, then Korea would be unified pretty quickly. It wouldn't be pleasant, but it would resolve itself; the Korean Family would be as one and work out all their differences. When you look into the culture of Korea, the missionaries bringing Christian zeal, the shamanistic indigenous notions, the reign of confucianism, then Japanese Shintoism, invasion etc, and in the North, the Rise of Juche etc, you can understand both the rise and continuance of someone like Kim Jong Un and also the bizarre religious leader Church of Unification in the South Sun Kyun Moon...and it will have to come down to the Korean Brothers in some kind of slugging match. No real need for anyone else to be involved.

Korea

So, destabilisation of a 'free' economy in South Korea at the same time as an increase in South Korean and US militarism displays with their practice invasions of North Korea, using live fire etc...the installation in South Korea, close to Seoul of the US THAAD anti-rocket rocket system that can't actually stop the rockets (too close), but can aim at China... and President Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, who is probably 29 or 30 years old now, has a neat trendy haircut, a long tenure in power, and a brace of nuclear weapons...Russia to the North claiming Islands claimed by Japan, China to the South and West, the US nuclear fleet always nearby, and Japan slowly going under...and looking for someone to blame. Well done boys...60 years of elite negotiations. Great work, Western Alliance, great work. Smart thinking.

The continuing impeachment of South Korea President Park looks like it will destabilise the parliament and thathat half of Korea. The next presidential elections, based upon the various corruptions in government as well as in the Giant Samsung Corp will deliver a functional democratic socialist govt interested in dialogue with North Korea...bbut the US will stymy that and remove the South Korean elected Govt...tthe whole process will further destabilise the only place on earth where a world war can actually happen.

Good Night Poem:Good night from here there is a cheer that all is not as we fear, to live the life proud as punch, and not be fucked over by that bunch. So take heed, and so take steed, to ride the dreams the cunts impede.

Poem for old People: It has been said that when we're dead we form the ground for those ahead but on the way there is a cure to live one's life as not manure.

Dance: In life it seems the same recourse to who be rider and who be horse yet in the treasure that we store is who is dancing on the floor.

God Poem: Thanks for it all and thanks a lot and thanks for all the things that's best forgot and thanks for kissing all this lot.

Work tomorrow, to be oppressed by the mindless neo-liberal imperialist elite...yet again. Still, the pay is quite good, and the work is okay..as long as you can bear the human burden of it, and the ridiculousness of it...then its okay...sometimes I still can. One of the great unsung virtues of mortality is that we really wont have to put up with this kind of shit forever. The iron collar of the Pyramid Slaves, the blue collar of Detroit, the white collar of 21st Century Surrender. Nothing changes except the colour of the collar. They make the collars in Pakistan now. They make them, but we wear them.
