On 10 December 2016, angry patriotic citizen more than 300,000 poured into the streets due to the incitement of the left-wing media, the illegal impeachment of political prosecutors, and illegal parliament expressing the love of the country by flying the national flag.
I am an average citizen living in Korea, and I have been grossly disappointed at recent coverage by foreign media about what is happening in S. Korea. You might have heard that President Park has been impeached mainly because of mainly corruption scandal.
However, I am going to prove that it is not the case. To date, it has not yet been proved that President Park received even one cent from big corporations and others. Then why did Korean National Assembly impeach her? There are several reasons for this comical political situation.
Opponents from All Corners
President Park has made many political opponents from many sides - corrupt politicians, influence-peddling business owners, power-hungry journalists, communist sympathizers in S. Korea, and leaders from China. Since being elected by a 51.6% majority vote in the presidential election, she has sent a lawmaker, Lee Seok Ki, to a jail for plotting an armed rebellion against Korea, with convincing evidence.
She has also passed a bill containing a tougher punishments for bribery and political corruption in the society, including for journalists and civil servants. In addition, just before impeachment, her legal advisors were probing a potentially bombshell bribe case against big political figures, including a former president and ruling and opposition party leaders.
Internationally, in the wake of North Korea’s nuclear threat, President Park agreed to the deployment of THAAD anti-miss defense to S. Korea, which angered Chinese leader, Xi Jinping. He openly told S. Korea, “I oppose THAAD,” and the Chinese government closed its door to cultural exchanges, reducing the number of tourists coming to S. Korea from China and the entertainers from S. Korea to China. Domestically and internationally, President Park must have been between a rock and a hard place.
“Tabletgate”
Along the road to the president’s impeachment, a Samsung tablet has played the most decisive role to create wide-spread public anger. On October. 24, 2016, a Korean TV cable station, JTBC, broke a scoop, saying it obtained a table PC that Choi Soon Sil, “a close friend” of the president, once owned. JTBC TV argued that, on the table, it found a trove of documents of the president was supposed to deliver to the domestic gatherings and even documents containing sensitive national security issues.
The station concluded that Ms. Choi has been holding these above President Park, controlling national issues. Other major media bombarded the country with tabloid-like sensational news for several weeks, damaging images of the president and Ms. Choi
Ms. Choi was eventually charged with wielding her influence over President Park to wrest about $70 million from major Korean companies such as Samsung and Hyundai. After around six-week of street protests backed by labor unions, President Park accepted what the opposition party wanted: impeachment. The street protests in this case was heavily orchestrated by media and unions, showing live time demonstration and interviewing people.
In S. Korea, the media and the labor union have two of powerful labor unions and have been controlled by the opposition party. The Korean National Assembly, also controlled by opposition parties, motioned for President Park’s impeachment bill and voted overwhelmingly to impeach the president. The Korean Constitutional Court must decide whether to uphold the motion or abandon it within 180 days.
“Fake news” shattered
However, here comes a twister favorable to President Park. The tablet, which had a “butterfly effect” against Park and Choi and has been a tool fueling the witchunting, turned out not to be Ms. Choi’s tablet but someone else’s. JTBC fabricated the tablet was Ms. Choi’s. Below, I linked a couple of Youtube sites as evidence that shows JTBC’s distortion of information. One of them shows that a female reporter is stammering because of lies.
With lies and misinformation from media, most of Koreans have been misled, and even foreign press corps have been misled by one-sided polls. However, some citizens who have not been brainwashed by media posted their argument, and evident, and pictures on small websites and blogs and social networking sites because mainstream media, including major portal internet sites, are never supposed to show them, they believe. The below picture and videos have never seen in the major media.
Then, who is controlling this political circus and for what reason?
Rumors have it that North Korea is behind it and the JTBC chairman did it for political reasons. He wants to be a kingmaker, or Mr. Moon Jae In, the leader of the opposition party is colluding with major media chairmans. One thing is clear, however - this impeachment circus is not based on facts, but based on rumors and ugly mass incitement. Please come and see what is really happening on December 17, 2017 around 11 a.m (Korean time) at the Constitutional Court.
This is the silent majority who are angry with media, finally came out to support Pres. Park.
Korean media can't fool entire world all the time
