Interrupter of inter-Korean ties   On October 17, a civic organization for peace against war held a rally outside the US embassy to sharply criticize the US for interrupting inter-Korean relationship.   The south Korean authorities are examining lift of “May 24 step” harmful to inter-Korean rapprochement and cooperation, however, US President Trump and his high-ranking officials are making objection to it, it is a wanton violation of sovereignty of the Korean nation, it charged.        They made “human train” in token of protest against the US and expressed their indignation by treading the Stars and Stripes to the tune of a song.

Trump’s mad remark “South Korea would do nothing without our approval” is an act of arroga

LKP without future The opposition Liberty Korea Party, which elected Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, masters of corruption, to president and engaged itself in acts against the nation, reunification and popular masses, is mired in a bottomless abyss. Some days ago, south Korean Kyunghyang Shinmun wrote: It is an objective comment that the LKP is better to be dismantled rather than existence. According to an opinion poll conducted by south Korean media, 76 percent respondents have no good feeling toward the LKP. The LKP is at an all-time low among political parties. Only 15 percent respondents have friendly feeling toward the LKP. It is next to impossible that the LKP would win in the election. The LKP is dwindling away to nothing.   The LKP is suffering declining popularity rating, it would face disunion due to lack of leadership, the head of the opposition Righteous Future Party noted.   It has indulged in interminable partisan strife, it is a precarious p
