For almost three decades, U.S. administrations have tiptoed around the egregious human rights violations perpetrated by the Kim regimes in North Korea. But U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo already has changed the equation, by succeeding in securing the release of American detainees Kim Dong-chul, Kim (Tony) Sang-duk, and Kim Hak-song. A reminder to us and the world that the United States still has the clout to move the needle on human rights.
On the eve of the Singapore summit on denuclearization, we urge President Donald Trump to put the release of Japanese, other foreign and South Korean abductees, the reunion of separated Korean families, and the complete, verifiable, irreversible dismantlement of the North Korean political prison camps, as the bill the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea must foot to become a normal and responsible member of the international community.

Beneš's abdication was scheduled: "I assure you, that In no case there will be a Czecho-Slovak-German war. No! As long as l am here, I shall always be able to find a way for an agreement with the Gemans.“- MEMORANDUM of 
František Schwarz from 1941, especially page 43 + 44, is worth reading! – Andrej Hlinka: : "It is for you necessary to know that each nation, as long as they defend themselves and fight, will last and progress. But they will perish, if and when they submit.“
(Sides 43 – 44) … „I learned of a confidential interview with Beneš, about the end of March, in which the Czech Premier said his country would figure for its independence if their allies come to their aid otherwise, there was nothing to do but capitulate to Germany's terms of friendship.“ I wonder if Beneš doubts the validity of French and English promises.“

The example that Bat'a has provided the world with is proof that capitalism can be done differently. Class consciousness, class hatred and class struggle are concepts that the Zlin labor community never knew. In the Bat'a organization, all employees from high to low had an interest that was of equal significance. That interest was to obtain as large a production as possible, of good quality products at the lowest possible price (a system that could be applied within a government to offer the best services most efficiently). To approach this objective, each individual is primarily dependent on his own labor power. In addition, however, he is also heavily dependent on everyone else and in this remarkable combination of individuality and collectivity lies the secret of the industrial harmony at Bat'a (or what has been referred to as the Bata Hymm of Work, an organization in motion). The make up of the people of Zlin was by nature no better and no worse than elsewhere, and if labor does take place in the context of a disturbance-free community, then it is only because everyone knows for himself that by delivering the highest quality work, he has served his own interest in the best possible way.

… As it turned out, the great majority of the Czechoslovak revolutionary (constitutional) National Assembly, established after the war, was in favor of Masaryk's views and paid no attention to the declaration of common goals of independent Central European views. The National Assembly did not derive its power from the consent of the ruling - it was not chosen by the Czechoslovak people, and the Czechoslovak Germans, Hungarians, Poles and Russians living in the country did not have the opportunity to "organize their own governments on such principles and in the form they believed would best support their welfare , safety and happiness." …
The whole chapter 18. HERE. The book was first published in the US in 1986 (East European Monographs, Boulder, New York 1986) and in Czech Republic in 1998. We still live in a lie about our past.

The 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia will without a question be not only touching but also pathetic affair, so I ask - did it make any sense to create this new state against the will of all it neighbors and at least a third of its own population?
The long time established Danube monarchy could have been modernized, but instead she was cut apart by silly ethnic spite and hate. So, if you shall celebrate, better light a candle and remember millions victims of illusions about national exceptionalism in the Central Europe.
