EDITORIAL: We Missed The Big Story

Ne News
28 April 2018

Throughout the world (well, at least in the Western World), there has been a lot of coverage of late involving the British Royal Family. A couple of days ago, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their new-born son into the world. And coverage of the upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meaghan Markle will be happening on 19 May 2018. And no doubt there was a lot of excitement on this 'news' story of the new prince, who will be raised in privilege and will inherit his position, which is UNELECTED, and will be an unelected 'head of state' in 16 countries, including Australia. It is worth noting that none of this royal 'news' affects the world we live in.

However, yesterday something happened that WILL AFFECT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. Yesterday, Kim Jong-un (the leader of North Korea) and Moon Jae-in (the President of South Korea) met, and at around 17:00 KST (18:00 AEST), news came through that the Korean War, which has been going on since the 1950s will end by the end of 2018. That's right, a war (note that the two were technically at war as the war ended in an Armistice and not a Treaty) that lasted for over 60 years will end in 2018 by a treaty.

Of course, most media outlets in the West (and in particular the commercial media) didn't devote as much coverage of this world-changing event, as there were more coverage of the British Royal Family and the birth of the new prince and the upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meaghan Markle than an event in Panmunjeom that will change the world.

Take A Current Affair for example, the Number 1 "Current Affairs" program in Australia. Nothing on talks on the Korean Peninsula, but plenty of time for a tradie's video revenge or Uber Eats under fire or even Bill Cosby and an interview with Liz Ellis. But nothing on the biggest news story of the day that will change the world, and bring the world onto the edge of a peaceful future.

Ne News congratulates both North Korea and South Korea on achieving this historic milestone, and hopefully both leaders get what they deserve for this moment: the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize.

EDITORIAL: Be Careful Italy

Ne News 2 June 2018 As you may be aware, there was a constitutional crisis in Italy following the decision to make a Eurosceptic Italian Finance Minister, which resulted in the Italian President to dissolve the government. Just a couple of days ago, this was resolved. However, it is worth noting that one of the parties in this coalition is the far-right wing Northern League, as well as the Five Star Movement. However, the people of Italy must be careful, especially in regards to the Northern League, as they may be the party to destroy Italy’s sovereignty and hand it over to the unelected and unaccountable European Union, which is increasingly becoming a fascist police state. That’s right, despite denying it and claiming that they are Eurosceptics, the Northern League may actually be the most pro-European Union party in the Italian Government. Throughout the world (and in particular the Western World), we are seeing the rise of far-right wing parties who claim ...

Afghanistan, Iraq. Hollywood’s Complicity: How Soon the Suckers Forget!

Philip A. Farruggio Global Research 12 May 2018 Featured image: George W. Bush with Ellen Degeneres, backstage after the former President appeared on “Ellen” and was hailed by her as a good friend (Source: @theellenshow/Instagram) How many lies and how many innocent lives have been sent out into the ethers by men like Junior Bush and his Bush/Cheney Cabal? Too many is the answer. Yet, as with the case with the Irish singing star (and humanitarian) Bono, Junior Bush has been ‘Born Again Philanthropist’. Well, good for him, but… that should not and DOES not absolve him from his war crimes. Screenshot AVC News, May 27, 2017 The real shame of all of this is just how short a memory do Ms. Ellen Degeneres and Mr. Bono have? I mean, come on you two  Media stars , have you both forgotten what transpired beginning in October of 2001? Does this writer need to once again review the  horrific  damage we,  and  our NATO led coal...

The French “Patriot Act”: Why is France Extending Its State of Emergency? From Pseudo-Democracy to Dictatorship

Guillaume Kress Global Research 19 February 2016 President Francois Hollande, whose legitimacy stems from nothing but a fraudulent multiparty electoral system , has repeatedly abused his authority  since taking office in 2012 by waging illegal wars in foreign countries (i.e., Mali, Syria) without consulting his electors. [1] He  recently failed to confer with them when his Socialist government responded to last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris by adopting Orwellian domestic policies – policies that have allowed the Hollande administration to spy on citizens , block websites containing “terrorist related content” , strip convicted “terrorists” of French citizenship , and criminalize activism against Israeli occupation .[2] These policies prevent the spread of information which may expose the government’s criminal activities. We should note, here, that the state of emergency greatly facilitates political corruption. [3] To put it briefly, the state of...
