The mother of all summits
The mother of all summits
South Korea's President Moon Jae-in is grasping at straws, trying to squeeze some sort of political value out of yet another summit meeting with the inimitable U.S. President Donald Trump. But whatever images may decorate the front pages of Seoul's mainstream newspapers over the next few days, the summit will not be able to cover up the fact that South Korea is a disaster.

Are Bolton, Cohen setting up US for a coup d'etat, with military action against Iran on the side?
Are Bolton, Cohen setting up US for a coup d'etat, with military action against Iran on the side?
The Trump experiment in crisis as governance has at last reached the denouement that we have long anticipated with curiosity and apprehension. But now that the mansions of the government are collapsing into rubble all around us, there is an eerie silence among most educated Americans about what will happen next.

How to put an end to America's peculiar institution of death: fossil fuels
How to put an end to America's peculiar institution of death: fossil fuels
One senses palpable excitement among progressives in the United States now that a group of Democrats, led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is pressing for a “Green New Deal” that will “transform” the economy and lead the country and the Earth in an environmentally sound direction. Their ideas are certainly better than the full-throttle push for fossil fuels of the Trump administr...

Another day of protest in Seoul against silence on climate change
Another day of protest in Seoul against silence on climate change
I went out in Seoul again today to protest against the silence on climate change. Massive protests are taking place around the world right now in response to the increasingly dire reports about the future of our planet - including articles by scientists (as opposed to ignorant politicians or corporate PR experts) - who suggest that the planet will be uninhabitable by the midd...

Extinction Rebellion takes on the system: Interview with founder Roger Hallam
Extinction Rebellion takes on the system: Interview with founder Roger Hallam
The global movement for peaceful disobedience to force society in general, and government in specific, to undertake a revolutionary response to the catastrophe of climate change is sweeping swept the Earth like wildfire. Extinction Rebellion was an unfamiliar term even a few weeks ago, but now this movement to radically alter the debate on climate change and compel people to ...

Watching the movie 'The Wandering Planet' in Shanghai
Watching the movie 'The Wandering Planet' in Shanghai
The contradictions of contemporary China were on my mind during my trip to Shanghai in February, 2019. After all, China is not just some country and observing it is not just an amusement. What China becomes, or does not become, will determine our common future. As I looked around Shanghai, I was thinking about how the American government, and American corporations, have slipp...

Fractured governance fractures the Hanoi summit
Fractured governance fractures the Hanoi summit
The sudden cancellation of the joint statement on February 28 at the end of the Trump-Kim Summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, was one of the most complex and contradictory historical events in my memory. Of course the adlib briefing by Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo immediately after was not complex at all. It was a banal show for the media that avoided talking about much of anything oth...

An American psychopathocracy
An American psychopathocracy
When Dr. Lance Dodes of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society told MSNBC that Donald Trump “is not in control of himself. This is what we mean when we say that somebody is becoming psychotic or is briefly psychotic,” his words made sense.

The light and shadows of the Korean Peninsula
The light and shadows of the Korean Peninsula
How many times have I seen an American expert pointing to a satellite photo of the Korean Peninsula at night and remarking that the striking difference between the darkness the envelops North Korea and the bright lights that illuminate South Korea, as well as Japan, symbolizes the insularity, the oppressiveness and the pathetically backwards economic state of the North. The o...

Merit, wisdom and the Korean tradition of governance
Merit, wisdom and the Korean tradition of governance
The ruthless competition between young Korean to get into good high schools and then be admitted to leading universities as the necessary step to finding superior jobs takes a terrible toll on the lives of many and has distorted the nature of learning. Education has become a concealed combat that drives us into isolation, rather than the grounds for cooperation among all peop...
