After a beaten Japan surrendered to the United States and its World War II allies in 1945, a little-known peninsula, home to 30 million Korean people, was dangling leaderless from the Asian continent into the Yellow Sea.
Treated as an afterthought in negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States, it was halved at the 38th parallel. That line still separates hostile armies on each side. Do Americans remember that nearly 75 years ago the US and the Soviet Union intended for the peninsula to prosper peacefully as a single country?
That was before the Iron Curtain descended upon the world. After that supporters of democracy entered a harsh rivalry with advocates for communism. Each side offered contrasting visions about how governments should work.
The first big military test of strength between the two rival factions occurred at Korea’s 38th parallel. The result was a standoff that consumed people, resources, and lives in North Korea, South Korea, China, the Soviet Union and the United States. South Korea was the Democrats’ surrogate while North Korea assumed that role for the communist faction. Most Americans don’t know that initially, North Korea began as the more successful nation. It led in feeding its people, getting industries started and at educating its people. Times changed, bringing isolation and decline in the North but producing economic prosperity and even a democratic government in South Korea. This book examines this transformation.
Despite a decline in North Korea, the Kim dynasty deluded its people at home while purchasing security from outside attack by surreptitiously developing its own nuclear weapon and missile capabilities. Now those capabilities are under the thumb of the third Kim, the excitable Kim Jung Un. Have failures by democratic nations failed to protect world peace? Do China or Russia gain by enabling a poor, obstreperous country that could unleash nuclear destruction upon the world? Will America’s venturesome (unpredictable?) President Trump untangle these dangerous issues?
This book focuses upon these largely ignored, but hazardous issues in today’s uncertain world.
From the Author: The provocative little country of North Korea keeps unity among its needy people by provoking its neighbors, our allies, South Korea and Japan. These affronts are to challenge the patience of the United States. Such offenses used to be small matters: scattering South Korean fishermen with patrol boats, shooting unarmed rockets Japanese waters, even capturing an American patrol boat, the USS Pueblo. But Kim Jong Un, third in a line of Kim’s dating back before the Korean War, has become particularly cocky because his administration has real nuclear weapons and genuine Intercontinental missiles to deliver them. Moreover, the US is, unfortunately, led by a naïve but arrogant president whose ego needs and leadership deficiencies could turn a cold war hot. It is sad to say that the likeliest peacemaker for the issues at stake in Korea is Xi Jinping, the leader of the People’s Republic of China.
And he looks like such a nice boy! Actually, Dr. Smith (yeah, sure, that's his real name) is to gangs what Cathy Scott is to Tupac and Biggie -- one look and you think "Huh?" Which just goes to show that you need to stretch your mind and realize that while it may take one to know one, it doesn't take one to understand one. If you need another example. Do you really want your oncologist to have cancer? No. You want your cardiologist to have heart trouble? No. You want your gang expert to be a gangster? No.

This Saturday, the son of notorious mob boss Wild Bill Cutolo joins us live from an undisclosed location -- he's out of the witness protection program and is in no mood to dodge bullets while living it up on Outlaw Radio's TRUE CRIME UNCENSORED.
LISTEN LIVE THIS SATURDAY 2pm PT/5pm ET/10pm London time. <<< click that!
William Cutolo Jr. still can't believe the mobsters who put a bullet in his father's head were stupid enough to bury the body - or disrespectful enough to leave him in his loafers.
The remains of "Wild Bill" Cutolo were pulled from a secret Mafia graveyard in Farmingdale, L.I., after a turncoat led FBI agents to the burial ground nine years after the mob boss vanished,.
The body was wrapped in a tarp. Loafers protruded from the burial shroud - an old-world Mafia no-no, Cutolo said.
"When a man such as my father, a made man [is killed], the old-timers believed it was a sign of respect to remove their shoes so that when their bodies were ever found, and there were no shoes, it was a sign of respect," Cutolo said.
His dad, William (Wild Bill) Cutolo, was underboss of the Colombo crime family when he was killed in 1999. His murder was ordered by acting boss Alphonse (Allie Boy) Persico, who feared losing control to Wild Bill, a charismatic rival.
Federal prosecutors didn't need Wild Bill's body to convict those responsible. The evidence they used included incriminating tapes secretly made by Bill Jr who wore a wire for the feds to avenge his father's death. The mob scion dubbed his undercover work Operation Payback.
Bill Jr and Bill Sr -- in the long run, crime didn't pay for Wild Bill or his former "friends" who murdered him.
No longer in the witness protection program, Bill Jr (Billy Cee) is thrilled and delighted to appear on his favorite true crime radio show. Yes, Billy Cee is a long time listener and good friend of Outlaw Radio and True Crime Uncensored.
"I havn't seen Billy Cee in years," said Burl Barer, co-host of True Crime Uncensored. "We were together for the Mob Sit Down in Las Vegas, and have been trying to reconnect ever since."

On July 20, 2012, twelve people were killed and fifty-eight wounded at a mass shooting in a movie theater in Colorado. In 1999, thirteen kids at Columbine High School were murdered by their peers. In 2012, twenty children and seven adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. Thirty-two were killed at Virginia Tech. Twelve killed at the Washington Navy Yard. In May 2014, after posting a YouTube video of ‘retribution” and lamenting a life of “loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires,” a lone gunman killed six and wounded seven in Isla Vista. All of these acts of violence were committed by young men between the ages of eighteen and thirty.
In the first fourteen school days of 2014, there were seven school shootings, compared to twenty-eight school shootings in all of 2013. The reasons behind this escalating violence, and the cultural forces that have impugned a generation, is the subject of the important new book The Spiral Notebook.
New York Times-bestselling author Stephen Singular has often examined violence in America in his critically-acclaimed books. Here he has teamed with his wife Joyce for their most important work yet — one that investigates why America keeps producing twenty-something mass killers. Their reporting has produced the most comprehensive look at the Aurora shooting yet and draws upon the one group left out of the discussion of violence in America: the twenty-somethings themselves.
While following the legal proceedings in the Aurora shooting, The Spiral Notebook is full of interviews with Generation Z, a group dogged by big pharma and anti-depressants and ADHD drugs, by a doomsday/apocalyptic mentality present since birth, and by an entertainment industry that has turned violence into parlor games.
Provocative and eye-opening, The Spiral Notebook is a glimpse into the forces that are shaping the future of American youth, an entire generation bathed in the violence committed by their peers.

New York Times Bestselling Author John Nance Live Saturday 2pm/ 5pm
“A wild ride through the night sky” – Capt. Sully Sullenberger, author of #1 New York Times bestseller “SULLY”
Over the Atlantic in the dark of night, the electronic brain of Pangia Airlines Flight 10 quietly and without warning disconnects all the cockpit controls and reverses course on its own.
The crew of the huge Airbus 330 at first sense nothing, the flight displays still showing them on course to New York. But with puzzled passengers reporting stars on the wrong side and growing alarm over the sudden failure of all their radios – and when armed fighters pull alongside to force them to land – the confused pilots discover that Flight 10 is streaking back toward the hyper-volatile Middle East and there is nothing they can do about it.
With an alphabet soup of federal agencies struggling for answers and messages flying between Washington, and Tel Aviv where the flight began, the growing supposition that Flight 10 may be hijacked is fueled by the presence of a feared and hated former head of state sitting in first class, a man with an extreme Mid East agenda who may somehow be responsible for the Airbus A-330’s loss of control. As frantic speculation spreads, the possibility that the unresponsive airliner could be the leading edge of a sophisticated attack on Iran designed to provoke a nuclear response drives increasingly desperate decisions.
As time and fuel runs low, flying at full throttle toward a hostile border ahead, Captain Jerry Tollefson and First Officer Dan Horneman have to put their personal animosities aside and risk everything to wrest control from the electronic ghost holding them – and perhaps the world – on a course to certain disaster.
And in the “Hole” – as the war room in Tel Aviv is called – the interim Prime Minister of Israel grapples with a horrifying choice in the balance between 300 airborne lives and the probability of nuclear war.
Praise for LOCKOUT:
“John Nance has added another intriguing volume to his body of work. This fascinating story of technology gone awry, rich with accurate detail, satisfies and terrifies as it takes the reader on a wild ride through the night sky on an airliner no one on board can control.”—Captain Sully Sullenberger, author of #1 New York Times Bestseller SULLY, and MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Stories of Vision and Courage from America’s Leaders; pilot of US Airways 1549, “Miracle on the Hudson”
“Once again, John Nance has provided a Mach-speed, high altitude page-turner in the form of a modern-day aviation thriller. Packed into the flight plan of “Lockout” are very real challenges faced by today’s airline pilot. Captain Nance has done his homework. Both pilots and passengers will enjoy the suspense. Pay attention to the seat belt sign and buckle in!” – Les Abend, Contributing Editor/FLYING MAGAZINE, Contributor/CNN.com, On-air Aviation Analyst/CNN
John lecturing at the Telluride Institute in Colorado, 2015
It’s just a matter of time!
That phrase is often grossly misused these days to foreshadow some future threat (such as the scandalously false statement: It’s just a matter of time before a toy drone takes out an airliner!). But as we move to increasing automation and build our incredible, highly reliable air machines to need humans (read: Carbon-Based Units) less and less, there will be some conflicts that could be described as inevitable.
Several weeks after 9/11, President George W. Bush stood on the ramp at Chicago O’Hare in front of the cameras and fell victim to one of the worst pieces of presidential staff work in recent history. He declared that in the future we would have devices built in to all airliners that would enable air traffic controllers on the ground to seize control of a hijacked flight and land it remotely like a drone. Most aviation professionals did a collective spit-take in response! That grossly improbable declaration sparked my 2003 thriller SKYHOOK.
So what’s wrong with the idea? For one thing, very few of our hardworking and highly skilled air traffic controllers are pilots who could fly an airliner remotely without extensive and continuous training. And, of course, there were a few additional problems, such as the tens of billions of dollars such a program would cost, and the fact that if we could take control from the ground, so could a sophisticated terrorist.
But we’re now flying incredibly sophisticated airliners that have few if any physical connections between the cockpit and the actual aircraft, other than wires and streams of electrons. What if that someday opens a door we don’t want opened? If an airborne fire is the first fear of a pilot, perhaps the second is a complete loss of control, and that’s precisely where, and why, LOCKOUT was born as a concept.
Yes, I’ve been on an eight year sabbatical from writing these high-speed, based-on-reality thrillers, but what spurred me back in the saddle (and to the laptop) was a rising sense of unease that I needed to get this story in front of you before it actually happens!
And, yes, I’m back. And there will be many more high-speed tales to follow. Including… well, we’ll save that for next year. Happy reading!
