On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Tim Shorrock, a Washington-based investigative journalist who grew up in Japan and South Korea and who is the author of “SPIES FOR HIRE: The Secret World of Outsourced Intelligence.”The conventional wisdom is that the US-North Korean summit in Hanoi was a failure that resulted in no deals and no changes to the sanctions regime, but new moves by the United States and South Korea aim to put the peace process back on track. The cancellation of large-scale war exercises and statements by top officials are raising hopes that negotiations can be revived.Monday’s regular segment Technology Rules with Chris Garaffa is a weekly guide on how monopoly corporations and the national surveillance state are threatening cherished freedoms, civil rights and civil liberties. Web developer and technologist Chris Garaffa joins the show.Congressional Democrats announced that they will aggressively pursue an investigation into obstruction of justice and a wide range of other misconduct against President Trump as the Mueller probe appears to be wrapping up, leaving many of the most fervent Russiagate proponents disappointed. Meanwhile, Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, announced over the weekend that he would vote against President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency related to the border. This means a measure rejecting the declaration now has enough votes to pass the Senate despite Trump’s veto threat. Brian and John speak with Jim Kavanagh, the editor of thepolemicist.net who has written on this topic in a recent article called "Be Careful What You Ask For: Wasting Time with Manafort, Cohen, and Russiagate." Venezuelan opposition leader and self-declared President Juan Guaido has returned to Venezuela following a trip to meet with the right-wing leaders of Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador carried out in defiance of a court-issued travel ban.

Bill Ayers, an activist, educator and the author of the book “Demand the Impossible: A Radical Manifesto,” joins Brian and John. Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who is Muslim, rejected criticism from some of her colleagues after she criticized the influence of pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC. Rep. Jerry Nadler, the Democratic chairman of the House Oversight Committee, called Omar’s comments “a vile, anti-Semitic slur.” Meanwhile, a blatantly Islamophobic display in the West Virginia capitol building that linked Rep. Omar to 9/11 is causing outrage. Ali Abunimah, the co-founder of The Electronic Intifada and author of the book “The Battle for Justice in Palestine,” joins the show. Hundreds of people, including ISIS fighters, fled their last foothold in eastern Syria this morning after US-backed Kurdish fighters had to slow their own advance because ISIS was using civilians as human shields. Even so, a spokesman for Kurdish forces said the battle to take Baghouz from ISIS would be over quickly. Rick Sterling, an investigative journalist and member of the Syria Solidarity Movement, joins Brian and John.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Walter Smolarek and John Kiriakou are joined by Brian Becker, who is in Hanoi covering the US-North Korean summit.Talks between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ended today with no agreement on any issue.

Thursday’s weekly series “Criminal Injustice” is about the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country.

Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal attorney and fixer, testified on Capitol Hill, saying that the President was a liar, a conman, and a racist, and that those around the President had traded their own integrity for proximity to power. Expectedly, the President exploded on Twitter, despite being busy with his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Cohen is due to report to prison on a myriad of felony charges in the next few weeks, which his opponents cite as reason to disbelieve his testimony. Walter and John speak with Dan Kovalik, a human rights and labor lawyer who is the author of the book “The Plot to Control the World: How the US Spent Billions to Change the Outcome of Elections Around the World.” President Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner is finishing up a visit through the Middle East to publicize an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. Meanwhile, the United Nations released a report saying that “the commission found reasonable grounds to believe that … the use of live ammunition by Israeli security forces against demonstrators was unlawful.” Ariel Gold, a peace activist and the national co-director of Code Pink, joins the show. Veterans for Peace is Thursday’s regular segment about the contemporary issues of war and peace that affect veterans, their families, and the country as a whole. Gerry Condon, a Vietnam-era veteran and war resister who refused orders to deploy to Vietnam and lived in exile in Canada and Sweden for 6 years, organizing with other U.S. military deserters and draft resisters against the Vietnam war, and for amnesty for U.S. war resisters, joins the show. He has been a peace and solidarity activist for almost 50 years and has served on the Board of Veterans For Peace for the last 6 years, currently as national president. A regular Thursday segment deals with the ongoing militarization of space.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif resigned earlier this week just hours after meeting with an American peace delegation, apologizing for what he called his shortcomings. But President Hassan Rouhani refused the resignation, and Zarif was back in the office two days later. What was behind the resignation? Walter and John speak with Massoud Shadjareh, the founder of the Islamic Human Rights Commission.

Former attorney for President Trump Michael Cohen testified in open session before the House Oversight Committee today.

A series of airstrikes have dramatically escalated the conflict between India and Pakistan. Are we headed toward another war in South Asia? Brian and John speak with Dr. Marvin Weinbaum, Scholar-in-Residence and director of the Middle East Institute’s Center for Pakistan and Afghanistan Studies. Venezuela’s self-declared president Juan Guaido said today that he will begin exercising his “presidential duties” as soon as he returns to Venezuela from Colombia, where he met with Vice President Pence and Colombian President Ivan Duque. Meanwhile, the diplomatic tide appears to be turning in favor of President Maduro as several countries vigorously opposed foreign intervention at the UN Security Council and a major pro-government international civil society conference is held in Caracas. Anya Parampil, a Washington-based journalist for The Grayzone Project, joins the show. Wednesday’s weekly series, In the News, is where the hosts look at the most important ongoing developments of the week and put them into perspective.

In today's podcast, we hear that TempTick and Turla are interested in the US-North Korean summit. That summit might not take up many cybersecurity issues. Where did North Korea get all that digital rope they want to hang the West with? It seems we competed to sell it to them, more-or-less unwittingly. Russian influence ops continue to give lies their bodyguard of truth. The FBI gets a warrant for a high-profile iCloud account. Microsoft outbid Google for GitHub—what will Redmond do with all that code? Facebook may have a complicated relationship with Shanghai. Johannes Ullrich from the ICS Stormcast podcast on deserialization. Guest is Ameesh Divatia from Baffle on GDPR and cloud data privacy.

Can Europe carve out a separate foreign policy from the Trump administration? Is regime change still the name of the game? And what has it all got to do with the price of oil? Plus we ask if anything is left of Obama's legacy and why it was so easy to undo. With Helen Thompson, Aaron Rapport and Chris Bickerton. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

김기식 is out as head of the Financial Supervisory Service. Blue House doubled down by having the 선관위 (National Election Commission) decide on the illegalities of m Kim's alleged violations. They ruled he broke the law and he immediately resigned and the resignation was immediately accepted by 청와대. Some lingering side effects and questions. What is wrong with the vetting system at the Blue House? Should 조국 or 임종석 be held responsible? What happens to reform of the financial/Chaebol sector? Is this a black eye/setback for 문재인's 적폐청산 and holding his administration to a higher standard? Difficult balance of wanting "your guys" in key roles to sincerely carry out policies and recognizing the writing of the wall and backing down. Progressives hope the reform drive does not slow down despite setback. Conservatives want a special prosecution./state investigation. People want 전수조사 on ALL lawmakers with expenses and overseas trips. Petition with well over 200,000 signatures to Blue house. Ruling party/progressives support comprehensive probe. Opposition is opposed. Wonder why? They need to remember the old saying "be careful what you wish for." Investigation continues on the 드루킹/online brigade controversy. Media is having a field day with framing this as a huge scandal. 청와대 and 김경수 have seemingly tweaked their stories as to the extent of contact with 드루킹 and how the process of vetting his recommendation of Osaka chief consulate took place. Lingering question of the timing of when the "macro" software was used by 드루킹 and his 경제적공진화모임 (경공모) crew. What was his M.O.? Why did he turn into such a fierce hater of the Moon government? Opposition once again calling for a 특검 into the affair and saying 김경수 needs to be prosecuted. 내로남불 all over again. Growing calls to look into Naver's murky online news commenting and upvoting system. Claimed that "macros" had no effect on their servers. That has proven to be a false assertion. Conservatives and opposition feel they have a winning hand with this controversy. Progressives and ruling forces say mountains are being made of molehills and a very deep and detailed investigation into the entire online news process will reveal that both sides will come out tainted and possibly the opposition will take the bigger hit. Once again, "be careful what you wish for." 조현민 getting swamped with more and more allegations of outrageous and vulgar behavior to her staff at Korean Air. More employees have come forward after the water rage incident and subsequent rant recording. Lots of lurid details into her 갑질 behavior and general craziness with the work environment she created. "gap-jil" is now a term introduced to the English vernacular after NY Times piece. Pretty shameful. Cho is now suspended from corporate activities pending investigation. Growing calls to remove the entire "3rd generation" of owner's spawn from the corporation by 정의당 members. Her Korean-American status also legally problematic as she was found to hold an executive post at Jin Air, a big no-no for a foreigner to have operations power at an actual airline. People still demanding the "대한" moniker and flag be stripped from the airline. Korean Air still has rights to "한국항공" so ultimately there may not be any major changes. Despite the pessimism with 금수저 folks getting their comeuppance, this issue not going anywhere anytime soon. Rare update on North Korea! CIA chief Pompeo met with 김정은! Secret meeting apparently over Easter weekend. What the heck is going on? Trump blabbers details to the press. Gives his "blessing" for negotiations to end the Korean war during the Inter-Korean summit. De-nuking will be on the table. 5 locations mulled over Trump's meeting with Dear Leader Jr. Some optimism sprinkled with a LOT of skepticism in the ensuing US-North Korean talks on whether a real deal can actually get done. Will Trump try cement his "legacy" through this summit? Will he even get there? Still a lot that can happen from now until June.

This is not the North Korea discussion you’re expecting. There’s no escalating saber-rattling and not a single mention of nuclear warheads. We know your newsfeed is filled with rumors of a US-North Korean nuke-fest and we thought we’d do something a little different. This episode I sit down with the Founder and Program Director of Choson Exchange, a Singapore-based NGO with a mission to bring small business training and development to average North Koreans. That’s right: Choson teaches entrepreneurship to North Koreans. If you’ve not heard of Choson it’s not surprising. They keep a low profile and tend to slip under the radar. But what they’ve accomplished is nothing short of remarkable. For seven years now, the group has sponsored more than fifty exchange programs, sending hundreds of business savvy volunteers to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, to train and guide burgeoning ranks of North Korean entrepreneurs. North Korea ranks as one of the poorest, least open countries in the world. Yet, there’s a booming appetite from its citizens who want to know what it takes to start a business, create a product, introduce a new service, and ultimately, make money. Here’s a question to ponder—are economic sanctions imposed by the US and UN an effective means of bringing Kim Jung-un’s government to its knees or do they end up punishing ordinary people who are simply trying to survive? The effectiveness of sanctions is an age-old debate. Maybe we need to find ways of changing the conversation. By bringing to North Korea the tools it needs to enter the global economy, there’s the hope of removing – or at least diminishing - the need to take up hostilities or throw up blockades. Thanks, as always, for listening. If you’d like to volunteer for one of Choson’s programs, please visit the groups website at www.chosonexchange.org.
