Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

N. Korea Threatens To Test Nuclear Weapons

HeadlineAug 29, 2003

As a response to what they perceive as hostility from the Bush administration, North Korea yesterday threatened to begin testing nuclear weapons. The threat came during six-nation talks in Beijing. According to the Washington Post, North Korea accused the Bush administration of hindering its economic growth and requested that Washington help pay for its electrical power costs. The White House dismissed the threat and a presidential spokesman praised yesterday’s talks. Also at the meeting, North Korea denied it possessed a program to develop highly enriched uranium. The Washington Post reported that diplomats now believe North Korea may reject the Bush administration’s request for intrusive nuclear inspections.
