At  a time that the SONY schlock comedy on the assassination of a North Korean leader has already grossed 15 million  in theaters and broken all SONY records for internet downloads, a real threat to  civil liberties and human rights is going on South Korea, with no word of criticism by the U.S. which has denounced the alledged North Korean hacking of SONY  computers and ushed in a wave of absurd TV commentary on FOX, CNN, and other U.S.  news media outlets on the North Korean "terrorist" threat to U.S. security

The article is by Greg Elitch, a fine scholar/activist whom I have known over the years through my work with the Jasenovac  Research Institute, which seeks to educate people about the WWII fascist genocide in Yugoslavia, which are essential to an understanding of the dismemberment of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the contemporary fascist trends in Croatia today. 

The events concern the South Korean Constitutional Court's upholding of the outlawing of the Unified Progressive Party, a small militant party opposed to both U.S. militarization of South Korea and the continued division between the two Korea, along with support for labor and peoples movements.  These events are as serious as the SONY film  hackng story is tabloid trash elevated into  a major international story.  Below is the link to Greg's fine article
