Liberation: Korean War continues with Biden’s renewal of travel ban to North Korea

Liberation (9/3/23 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: The White House has announced ([link removed]) it’s extending the ban on people using US passports to go to North Korea. Corporate media seem to find it of little interest; who wants to go to North Korea? Which fairly reflects media’s disinterest in the tens of thousands of Korean Americans who might want to visit family in North Korea, along with their overarching, active disinterest in telling the story of the Korean peninsula in anything other than static, cartoonish terms ([link removed]) —North Korea is a murderous dictatorship; South Korea is a client state, lucky for our support—terms that conveniently sidestep the US’s historic and ongoing role in the crisis.

Amanda Yee is a writer and organizer, and an editor of Liberation News ([link removed]) . We’ll talk with her about the role the travel ban plays in a bigger picture.

We reference hidden history in that conversation. CounterSpin got some deeper understanding on that a couple years back ([link removed]) from Hyun Lee, US national organizer for Women Cross DMZ ([link removed]) , part of the coalition Korea Peace Now! ([link removed]) . We’ll hear a little from that today as well.
