Wake Up Korea, Thieves in the House


Wake Up 2018

American midterm election is in November, less than 3 months away. Why is this so important to countries outside the US? The US foreign policy of Trump Administration can be strengthened or weakened depending on the outcome of the result. But this is not likely to change anything drastic. American election campaigns are rather nasty. GOP and Democrats have already pushed throttle hard to gain momentum. Journalists and writers have got their time to write political books to make money. There are already many books in the market written for both Trump and Democrats. Democrats have no their leader yet. Bob Woodward, a reporter and an associate editor of Washington Post, is about to publish a political book, titled “Fear,” about which the venerable Cho Gap-Je jumped into detail in some of his YouTube broadcasts very recently. I am not going into its contents. But my question is why he and therefore other Koreans want to get hurt from dirty American politics, while Koreans have so many other issues to worry about.  Bob Woodward is an established journalist about the age of 75 who might have written a story only to make money in an opportune time. He is well known investigative journalist in Washington. I have known him since he was a young man. He is in the opposite side of the Trump and in full charge to denigrate Trump maximally to influence on the midterm election. He is politically shrewd. He could be on either side to make profit by taking side.  He is disliked by both Obama and Trump. But he has an ability to write false juicy stories. Mr. Cho should know that Mr. Woodward is untrustworthy for the sake of the security of South Korea. Mr. Woodward is not focusing on South Korea but on destroying Trump. A blindfold quote of Mr. Woodward’s book in his YouTube not only could ruin his credibility but also is detrimental to the fair understanding of the US- South Korea relationship. The way he presents in his YouTube gives me an impression of his full confidence on Mr. Woodward. This is unfortunate for him in my opinion.

Mr. Cho is a conservative leaning journalist respected by many Koreans. I have read and watched some of his columns and his YouTube broadcasts. I like his works in general. I find he is not a friend of Trump and finds fault of Trump whenever an opportunity comes. He is critical to the Trump policy toward North Korea. He tries to depict Trump as a novice in politics. In my view, he does make himself a political guru by denigrating Trump. He has his right to have his own opinion. He takes liberal media such as CNN, ABC, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post and so on as the Bible to make his cases. We know they are fake news media just like KBS these days. But Koreans have been trained to take the fake news and to take them as truthful. Not long ago, Koreans wrongly believed the Hillary Clinton would be the next president of the US. Now, Mr. Cho leads us to believe that the current President of the US is an idiot. I like to know what a hidden plot he is forming to do what. This is a sad reality.  Naturally, he is conservative only by Korean standard. He is not a conservative in real sense and also is no liberal. He is a confused person in ideology. So I could not understand why he doesn’t go fully with Trump’s policy. He could be a left leaning conservative, if such wording is allowed. The reason why he dealt with Woodward’s book could be Trump he doesn’t like. But he is likely to have made a mistake on the book because the book is now highly controversial in terms of credibility. I feel sorry that he took Woodward’s fiction as a real scoop. I am afraid of his inability to see the whole truth of the story. Time will tell. Washington is changing so rapidly that it is easy to miss important points. Liberals are ganged up together to regain the power after the midterm. We old generations are not used to new social media. Mr. Cho does not understand Trump’s tweeting. No one in our ages likes tweeting as Trump tweeting. Simply because of his inability to understand tweeting, he may not like Trump. In fact, Tweeter is only 144 character message. But now it has a gigantic power bigger than a nuclear bomb. In addition to Trump, even Putin uses tweeter to communicate with the world leaders. I don’t know whether Moon is tweeting. If he does, he could cover up his stutter for a short message.   Come to think of it. It takes training to write a short message to carry your idea concisely. Mr. Cho is perhaps trained for a long discourse only. In short, Mr. Cho used Woodward as his umbrella to attack Trump. The umbrella is not useful because of so many leaky holes in it. I am talking for Mr. Cho. I hope he be respected for a long time to come in Korea. I just remind him that there are many wolves hungry for preys out there in the wilderness. America is an open wilderness.

Mr. Cho won-jin is reportedly invited to the US. What does it mean? He was the leading congressman supporting President Park now in prison. The US is apparently protecting the life of Ms. Park as it did for Kim dae-joong. Moon cannot hurt Park as last Park could not hurt Kim. The US let all Koreans, the north and the south, know that the free Korea saved from the Korean War will never be compromised by inviting relatively unknown Mr. WJ Cho. to the US. Cho is the founder of Hankookaegookdang, about which I do not know much except that the party has supported President Park consistently. At this juncture, Saving of the life of Park is of paramount importance, because she was the last holder of the legitimate free Korea established on August 15, 1948. The US recognizes the symbol of President Park and therefore would keep her safe from any danger. Restoration of her position means restoration of the free Korea. When visiting the US, there is only one short message to deliver to the whole world. He can cry, or tweet such as: The free Korea is presently under usurpation of communist Moon regime and therefore Korean citizens have determined to remove this regime immediately by all means.

When South Korea opened trade with China for the first time years ago, China demanded Korea to cut tie with Taiwan as a prerequisite. Korea did not hesitate to throw away the old friend to take an immediate profit. China has had a strong grip to control weak neighboring countries. Korea has had historically to take a subservient position to get anything from China. China was an emperor and Korea was a small king paying tribute to the emperor every year. This relationship has never changed in essence. The founding President Rhee 70 years ago has changed all this to establish free Korea. The North Korea is still in the old chain. Now the trade war broke out between the US and China. It started when China challenged the US to become a dominant power especially in the far-east Asia. The Chinese ambition is no and no to the US. But it is yes to Moon and his regime. This is a serious betray the US would never allow to happen, because this is viewed as a US security breach. However, the US would not send their young kids to fight back. Instead, they engaged in the Trade War. The US will use the Chinese tactic this time. The US will stop any countries trading with China from trading with the US. Some south eastern Asian countries have already turned their back on China. Consequently, China is at the verge of economic trouble into collapse. Moon and Kim JU just look at the Chines emperor to receive an order. Moon is a helpless man by his own choice. Chairman XI would not talk to Moon on equal basis, Of course, Japan Abe is not his friend. Moon is a Trump hater. He has one and only friend to talk to, Kim Jong-Un, beloved leader. Moon is going to make 3 day visit to Pyungyang in September to meet with his only poor friend. They may have many things to discuss. Who knows what they will discuss in secret? In its core, CVID, Trade War, smuggle between the two countries, and American economic sanctions to both the North and the South will be the major subjects. No subject has easy solution. If Moon regime continues its trade with China, South Korea would have no business with the US. Moon is not stupid. Rejecting CVID offhand is the end of talk between the US and the North. Kim doesn’t want to end the talk because what will happen after that is clear. They will discuss the Trade War. But they don’t have much to offer. They may have a secret communication with Xi. But Xi has his own trouble to face. It is amazing to realize that under Moon regime, Korea has become an isolated poor country talking only to the poor Kim Jong-Un. Is this the nation Korean people want? Moon will beg Trump to get permission to help Kim only to get rejected. We don’t know how much money Kim Dae-Joong, Rho Moo-Hyun, and Moon Jae-In have poured into the despotic government. They allegedly sent a part of money smuggled by secretly selling Dokdo Island to Japan. The innocent Korean people still call Dokdo our land. This is a tragic story. The US is aware of all these dirty tricks played by these people. Our only hope is to work with the US at the moment. Moon cannot continue too long this way. The last day of Moon regime is imminent.  (September 7, 2018, KYP)

South Koreans Struggle for Freedom


Sea of Tagukis 2018
                                                                                        
Seoul streets are filled with Tagukis (Korean National flags) held by pure and honest citizens chanting for free Korea every day. Citizen’s voices yearning for freedom are being heard throughout the world. The illegitimate Moon regime is being paid back what the regime deserves. KBS does not report this movement. Cowards are running Korean media. I could see news through social media: Twitters, Facebooks, and YouTube. Rallies are organized by many different citizens groups. There is even a small pro-Moon sect. Anti-Moon rallies are overwhelming. I participated in a few free-Korea rallies through Live YouTube past several days. YouTube Live rally is not bound by border and is seen worldwide in real time. I had to wake up late in the evening local time to participate in the rallies. Sea of Tagukis filled my cellphone screen and the tears of my yearning for free Korea wetted on my old face. This is the start of the end of Moon’s regime. I couldn’t notice the opposition politicians came out to the street joining anti-Moon movement yet. But I could feel the fire and energy building up increasingly each day.

Kim Jung-Un doesn’t seem to act as agreed upon in Singapore. He does ignore Moon’s effort to frame him to forge the image of the peaceful unified Korea with no nuclear threat to the South. Moon became impatient to the point of nervous breakdown with the slow progress and the bad news of Korean economy. Trump’s threat of denuclearization on Kim doesn’t look very effective. Is Trump lied to the North’s tactic, as many previous US presidents have been lied? Korean people are completely in dark by Moon’s suppression of media. South Koreans are used to no news nation and even don’t care the fate of the nation. Most of them are just busy digging only for food. They forgot Jesus said, man does not live by bread alone. They must look beyond bread. However, they vaguely expect the Government will take care of the fate of the nation for the better. The blue house is occupied by the godless communist ideologues. People are even sarcastic on Moon, Kim, or Trump. Korea is in danger barely hanging on the cliff. Korea may lose the constitution of the republic if they don’t keep it with tight grip. In my view, Moon is incompatible with Free Korea. Our freedom is at risk. We are now at life or death. There cannot be in between. This is the critical issue.

Moon does want to remove word “Free” from Free Democracy in the constitution. He wants to transform South Korea to North Korea in ideology. He thinks freedom encourages greed making Korean society unfair. The suppression of individual freedom will bring collective freedom. In another words, He believes sacrificing individual liberty will benefits the whole nation. This is the age old liberal trick that has proven 100% wrong in history. According to the ideology, you have to send your child to a certain kindergarten. Individual young man has to be educated according to the national need. You have to serve the democratic nation. This collective salvation has only resulted in the forced labor camp in North Korea. I still don’t understand why majority of South Koreans have voted for Moon and his Democratic party last time. Only reasonable conclusion is that the vote counting was highly likely fixed. Am I wrong on this conclusion? On the other hand, do South Koreans really like free lunch from the Government? It is too bad that Moon cannot print paper money to buy lunch for everyone without jeopardizing economy and ruining the nation. Moon’s regime will not go too far. The end is near.

Moon and his minions do not believe in God. They have wrong faith that they can build a utopia in the unified peninsula by collective salvation. The individual liberty is the enemy and therefore must be eliminated from the constitution. Individual thinking is prohibited and only group thinking is allowed. Moon controls media to allow only guided group thinking. He controls major sports events by nationalizing them. The Peongchang Winter Olympic was a success for him in hypnotizing minds of Koreans into a dreamlike unification.  Under Moon, personal freedom is diminishing gradually. Our conscience is not allowed as if it were a sin. Moon thinks he is right and others are wrong. In fact, people are trained by education to decide right or wrong. How many times have we made good choices in the past 80 years, not to mention in human history? We have been busy to decide right or wrong without discretion. Each of us thinks that self is right and others are wrong. None seems to care about the truth. There is no room for truth in our conscience. We have no reference to decide good from evil. Our reasoning has limitation in finding the truth. The Roman Governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, What is the truth? Jesus answered, I am the way, the truth, and the life. Pilate might or might not understand the Jesus saying. But he was not a fool. He washed his hand from the foolish judgement seat. After 2000 years later, Christians have learned that the truth can be revealed by faith, not by reason. Atheists try to understand faith by reason, but have failed. Therefore they don’t understand that only faith in God has hope and energy for people to build and to pursue personal happiness. Faith in God is the true source of national wealth. Godless Moon is ignorant of this power and takes the wrong course to emphasize social welfare programs, Childcare programs for working mothers, high wage labor program, social medical program and on and on. Where is the money to support all these unrealizable programs. Only thing he can do is lying. He has to follow other communist dictators to lie. He is good at empty promises.  This tower of Babel will ruin Korean economy very quickly. He would not have money to send Kim to build high ways in the North either. People’s voluntary power to pursue their own happiness is the real resource to build a wealthy nation. To make this happen, the Government must maximize individual freedom. But Moon is taking to the opposite direction. The sooner is Moon driven out of the Blue House, The quicker will be the coming of new Spring of Free Korea.

Do you think Kim can deceive Trump and survive as his father and grandfather deceived America? If he thinks he can, Kim is making an unrepairable mistake. America has given the last chance for him to repent. America is a God fearing nation. America does not harm any person or nation by whim. North Korea is a rogue nation not keeping promises they made previously. It is an evil nation. It has an option of no nuclear weapon or no Kim regime. Die is cast. There is no return. The US campaign is slow and certain. US destroyed imperialist Japan. US destroyed Hitler Nazi Germany. US demolished communist Soviet Union. It took years to complete such campaigns to bring eventual peace. China and Russia are searching for US’s real intention handling North Korea. They don’t want get hurt by making a bad judgement. The US’s next targets are North Korea and Iran one at a time. This is for the world peace. America is also seeking the true peace and prosperity in the Korean peninsula.

A comment on reason and faith: Reason can be acquired by education. Faith can only be acquired by lifetime search for the truth. It is the narrowest and haphazard way to touch the truth. Faith is not reachable by reason. Faith is outside reason. Reason alone fails to see the real world. Godless Moon doesn’t know where to lead Korea. Koreans must wake up to see Moon’s limitation. I noticed that some Korean Christian leaders have fake faith. Fake faith is worse than reason and ridiculed by reason. You better believe it. With faith you will be saved. Korea will be saved naturally from the totalitarian. As for a true faithful, Apostle Paul transformed his belief on the way to Damascus to persecute Christians. He was a learned Jewish Pharisee leader to whom Jesus revealed. Later, he confronted Athenian philosophers at Areopagus for the discourse on Jesus (Acts 17:19). Christians believe that the truth comes from outside to the faithful. Truth is not found within. Paul’s Epistles occupy a half of the New Testament.   I took pain to deal with this difficult subject.

Post Singapore Summit

Post Singapore Summit

So many things have happened recently. My head starts to spin and makes me feel dizzy. Stars and stripes, and one star draped with red and blue stand side by side. Trump and Kim both took friendly gestures on the world forum. American President Trump and DPRK Chairman Kim have become friends, while ROK President Moon, America hater, and his minions don’t know what to do in response. Moon has nothing but anti-American rhetoric. He is a son of a communist. He is busy trying to concoct something new to keep poor South Koreans in darkness. He won the recent election with a ridiculous success by his sleight of hand. Voting and counting are two different things. Moon machine can easily fix the counting as he wishes. We still remember vividly the last days of Rhee Seung-Man and Park Jung-Hee when vote riggings were rampant. History repeats. The citizens had overcome those difficult times. Anti-Moon rallies in Kwangwhamoon are ever increasing in numbers and intensity now. Cowardly media are silent like a dark dead night. Moon’s crossing the border to the enemy country in secret could be a treasonous criminal activity. Where are those righteous lawyers and professors in South Korea? And Moon has reportedly destroyed the National Memorial Cemetery into a public cemetery as a part of his agenda to erase the spirit of the national patriotism. He criminalizes his political opponents. He points his finger to a person he doesn’t like, his minions will take care of the person by fabricating a fault. Witch hunt is everywhere.  Alas, he destroys Korean economy by his ignorance. He doesn’t know that the world economy is the US economy. The size of the US economy is bigger than that of the remaining G6 nations combined. He doesn’t know the rudimentary economy and the economic power needed to run the nation. He is a radical ideologue who worships Kim. Sorry, Kim changed his mind.  South Koreans fear the tyranny and poverty Moon eventually will lead to. They already started the movement to remove Moon’s regime.
It seems Trump’s strategy to bring Kim to the table instead of the battle field. Kim had succumbed to the formidable stick behind the irresistible carrot Trump has offered. Nobody knows what will happen next for sure. But the general reaction is favorable to the extent that Trump may be the next Nobel Prize Winner. The young man, Kim, has to drive out the poverty rooted deep in North Korea, if he wants to keep his power long. His dictatorship inherited from his father and grandfather is found unsustainable anymore. His coffer is already drained to the bottom needed to feed his high generals. He has to change the course just to survive. He has the only option to give up the nuclear weapons for the change. To do that, he had to purge hawkish military brasses. But he has a lot more to do. 
Trump clearly assured Kim’s regime the security as the reward for the CVID over and over again. Many Koreans don’t seem to understand what the security really means. Security from whom?  Moon would not attack Kim. China would not attack Kim. America would not attack Kim. There is no attacker from outside. The enemy is within. Kim killed his uncle and his own brother as we all know.  There is the evil power he has to maneuver very skillfully to maintain his position. Or, he might be himself an evil power. Trump assured him to be safe even from inside. Kim will keep distant from even Moon because this man would not have money to give. Moon’s regime has no supporter anymore. Trump would not talk to Moon, because he is a dumb. China sees Moon not useful to Chinese economy anymore. Korean economy is in shamble. Kim has a potential benefactor but Moon is he alone. Moon has promised unrealizable peace to Korean people by promoting unification. That was his campaign slogan. Poor voters were duped by the word, peace, once chanted during the Winter Olympic. They forgot hungry brothers and sisters under Kim’s regime in the North. Many South Koreans have been hypnotized by the illusive peace. South Korea will suffer soon from high unemployment and economic downturn.  Moon’s regime will be driven out by people’s desire for food. He got power by revolution and will lose power by revolution. It is the economy, stupid!
Do South Koreans want to have a unified peninsula instead of the North and South existing separately? Of course, both North and South want unification. We remember the flag depicting Korean peninsula map waving at the opening ceremony of the Peongchang Winter Olympic. They visually chanted unification. Moon choreographed all this and was happy with it. Most Koreans have been duped. It is a propaganda driven question. The real question should have been whether South Koreans want the traditional free market nation or the dictatorial socialist nation of the present North Korea. Moon has never asked this question. I am sure over 90% of Koreans want the free Korea. I was surprised to notice that major US magazines do not ask even this important question. I hope nobody asks the stupid question anymore.  
Americans have been friends of South Korea. Americans know how to build a rich and happy nation. They saved Korea from the communist aggression in 1950. Within three months of the outbreak of the Korean War, General Macarthur restored Korean Government back. But the Democratic President Truman feared Chinese intervention of all-out war between them, wanted to end the war, and therefore fired General Macarthur who determined to unify the peninsula. MacArthur was then the potential presidential candidate for the Republican Party. General Ridgeway took over the Macarthur’s position. This is the time of so called ‘1/4 Retreat.’ This is a real story. The Korean soldiers were put in the fore front of the battle field in order to avoid the direct US-Russia collision. It was not necessarily to save American soldier’s lives. One time Ridgeway was surveying the battle field in his airplane, he noticed a Korean military truck was running southward, instead of northward to fight enemy, with a few civilians in the truck. The truck was a military truck US provided for the fight. The Korean soldier driving the truck had one thing in his mind to save his family forgetting his duty to save the nation. He might be right in his myopic world to save his family members first. Young American soldiers died in the same battle field to win the war. Ridgway decided some Koreans are cowards because of their ignorance. He had to change the battle plan. I felt like to hide myself in shame at this story into a mouse hole if I could find one. When we saw the recent votes cast overwhelmingly for Moon, it is said that Korean people voted for Moon to secure peace in Korean peninsula. Do you believe that? Those who voted for Moon have no better view than the truck driver had. They are myopic. They are ignorant in my opinion. American policy makers would have considered so many different options to take after seeing the result of the votes. I know Koreans are not all stupid and not all cowards, but surely in confusion. Moon had highly likely rigged the votes. But he must remember vote rigging has never been tolerated by Korean citizens. Communist Moon will push to change the present constitution into a socialist constitution very soon. There will be uprisings and blood. The US help is desperately sought for South Korea to regain freedom and prosperity. This is the moment of freedom or serfdom. Let us raise our voices for free Korea to be heard loudly around the world.  Let us also remember that the National Memorial Cemetery is the symbol of our independence from the communist ideology.  (June 22, 2018, KYP)

Jucheism 2018


Jucheism 2018
The following article is for your review which I wrote about five years ago. S Korea has changed since then to Moon regime, a cabal of rats running across the border avoiding people’s eye to receive order from Kim. Jucheism (Self-reliance is a euphemism for Jucheism) is a derivative of Communist Stalinism. Presently, most S Koreans especially younger generations, progressive politicians, lawyers, and so called intellectuals have deeply drunken this terrible poison. No wonder why they don’t like America. These sick people won’t live too long but will damage our country greatly, unless we drive them out quickly. Jucheism is an evil force man has ever created in history. (June 1, 2018, KYP)
Self-Reliance:
Korean fishermen in Yunpyungdo are trembling in terror under the potential threat of the North Korean leader, Kim jungeun, while the South Korean defense forces and the U S forces are jointly conducting a war exercise in the nearby Yellow Sea. The North seems extremely self-reliant on protection against foreign influence. Who likes a foreign nudge? They do not like America and some South Koreans do not either. They are patriotic in a weird way and have ended up building a horrible nuclear weapon. The off-track self-reliant culture initiated by the grandfather Kim has brought only fanaticism and poverty. I have lived long enough to witness the three generations of the Kims. The self-reliance is in my opinion an inflated pride.
South Koreans are told to have a special culture which has been formed to bring today’s prosperity from the devastation of the Korean war. It is a good culture the world watches with envy. It is called the Korean way. A question then is whether the Korean way is embracing other good cultures or excluding them?
I used to teach at a university which is now merged into KAIST. We had many U S educated faculty members. So we found no problem in teaching technological knowledge. The faculty members obtained the knowledge from the U S universities, but not the culture associated with technologies and businesses of the advanced country.
For the new President Park has launched a campaign to bring in the second miracle of Han River through the technological innovation, it is necessary in my opinion to engraft the advanced culture into the Korean way by inviting those who are immersed and proved successful in such culture. The Korean way is to embrace the other culture. It is greatly different from the exclusive self-reliance of the North. This separates prosperity from poverty or stagnation. (March 16, 2013, KYP)

What's the trouble?


What’s the trouble?
We cannot trust what Moon is doing and saying to us. His public statements are not convincing. His talks and actions are two different things. His facial expression is awkward. He smiles even in serious situations. He kept smiling at a presidential conference with Trump when smiling was not warranted. His smile in front of Kim at the secret meeting looked untrustworthy to Korean people. On the other hand, Kim is a killer. He killed his uncle. He killed his own brother. Kim suddenly made appearance on TV as if he were a world’s peace maker. We are not memoryless people. The US doesn’t trust Moon and therefore closely watches him. Moon is a communist. The world leaders and businessmen know it now as clearly than ever before and don’t want to deal with a communist or communist government, who took power by revolution. Therefore future Korean foreign trade prospect is in a dark cloud under Moon’s regime. The Blue House is filled with Jusa-pa communists worshipping Kim Il-sung Jucheism (self-reliance: 주체사상). I hate this Jucheism, because it is a very coarse idea with many fatal defects and fake utopianism, though it may sounds attractive to very innocent beginners.. Many South Korean people including some of my friends are hypnotized with this terrible idea. Unless we root out this opium from the minds of young generations, second Moon, second Lim Jong-suk, and their followers would keep popping up in coming days only to bring more troubles. The Jucheism has brought oppression, prison, forced labor, poverty, and a cruel dictatorship after three generations of Kim’s family reign. Why do Korean people want to go there? If unlearned, the history repeats.
Unless we drive Moon and his Jusa-pa out of the Blue House soon, we will face a great chaos in the country never before experienced in the recent Korean history. As for the US relationship, Koreans need US help more than ever before to protect free Korea. I don’t understand why some people do not like America with reason. Are Koreans mere emotional people? Moon uses emotion for his own political agenda, not for people. He is a deceiver. America has saved Korea from the Communists and brought economic prosperity in Korea. Those who still hate America are hypnotized by the dead ghost of the Jucheism, We have obligation to awake them up! And let us wake up. America is the only friend we can rely on in the planet. Americans are true friends of Korean people. The US is willing to help Korea when asked sincerely. Only communists say, Yankee Go home. It is time to raise the true call of free Korea louder and lauder. Moon is gone from the free world stage. Moon won’t get help, because he is stuck with Jucheism. US knows by heart the Jucheism would not work. When Kim Jung-Un asked Moon to come to see him, he ran like a rat avoiding people’s eye to receive order. Jucheism allow only group thinking and subservience. Individuals are dumb and are not allowed to think its own way. Our South Korean people are free thinking people and seek individual freedom and happiness. But this freedom and happiness don’t come free  of charge. We must keep fighting to get them every moment. Jucheism is our enemy. Jucheism is the trouble!  Freedom and Jucheism do not go together. Freedom is the God given privilege. God bless our freedom and free society.

Two Koreas


Two Koreas
What is the real issue of the US and North Korean Talk that may or may not occur in Singapore scheduled in June? Kim Jung-Un has an opportunity to secure his regime and to bring prosperity to North Korean people never before possible in Korean history. If accept the denuclearization, he is guaranteed his life and regime safe unlike the fate of Gaddafi of Libya by the US. This guarantee will never be broken. Trump administration has promised. Why has Kim changed abruptly his attitude after he made the second trip to China to have a secret meeting with Emperor Xi? What order had he got from Xi? No one knows what has happened there for now? The summit meeting may not occur unless China accede the US proposal which is best and concrete to both Koreas.
US want no Nuke, economic prosperity, and long lasting peace in Korean peninsula. In order for North Korea to live up to international level, Kim has to open the country and luckily he seems to share the same view. The US basic assumption is this: South Korea has been successful economically by the aid of the US. Some people not agree with this fact. Now US will help the North as she has done the South once no Nuke is accomplished in the North.  This is the TWO KOREAS solution as I alluded in (41). The unification is totally Koreans to decide, but will come as the next step. US hopes the unification with no foreign interference solely decided by Korean people. Kim seemed to agree with the US proposal before the second trip. Kim knows that his regime is numbered with no help from US. There is no bridge to return back.
China does not like the two Korea solution. She does not care about poverty stricken north Korean people. For past 70 years, China has ruled over North Korea as her subject. Pyungyang has to be protected to hide the dirty tricks from the world outside. China might have ordered Kim not to accept the US proposal but to delay it with some ridiculous pretension. Kim knows Moon has no power to resist anything he asks. Moon even could not ask telephone call before his meeting with US. But Kim can do anything concerning North-South relation, because Moon worships Kim.
The White House conference between Trump and Moon today seems to indicate Kim does not have a key to the success of the summit meeting. It is China who does not like to see independent and prosperous Korea at all. Moon is not treated by Emperor Xi as Kim is treated. Moon cannot say anything but to follow Kim’s order. Kim can overrule any agreement made between North and South at any time as is shown.. Moon does not have a gut to protest to him. We don’t know how much money Moon has sent in secret to Kim so far as his predecessors did. Korean people should watch very carefully the money flow.  We know that Hussain Obama sent tons of US cash loaded on the freight airplanes to Iran to make the stupid deal. This should not happen in Korea.  (May 22, 2018, KYP)

What Do We Know?


What do we know?
After 80 years of my life, I confess I don’t know much. But I can tell you I love you all my old college friends and my father land peaceful and prosperous. So I decided to continue to write. Is Kim Jung-Un going to agree to the complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of N Korea? Kim is not a respectful man but might have realized the denuclearization is the only way for N Korea to keep his regime and economy from demise. It includes nuclear bombs, missiles, and chemical weapons. Even China, Russia, and Japan will not object it..  The far eastern Asia will become a nuclear free zone. Another nuclear free zone aimed at is Iran in the Middle East. These two areas are considered dangerously explosive in the future unless the nuclear weapons are stopped and removed. The Trump administration has decided to get rid of them
N Korean regime will keep conventional weapons and be secured to exist. What about the unification of Korean peninsula?  This is for Koreans to decide. The US would not interfere with, though she has preference. The US sees N Korea has inexpensive and hardworking labor forces willing to work to improve their living standard when US civilian money is poured into the country. N Korean economy is likely to grow fast after denuclearization accepting free market economy than S Korea has done. The US goes well with Vietnam today, once enemy but now friend.
My concern is Moon in S Korea. He and his party are socialists backed by strong labor unions, which want more pay and less work. Korean productivity is decreasing under Moon regime. He is destroying Korean economic infrastructure by putting Samsung boss in jail and removing Korean Air boss. These infrastructures have been nourished for past 70 years. Football players know how to play game but don’t know how to run football business. Lee and Cho family know how to run business. Moon does know only red revolution.
The US knows Moon doesn’t like America and worship Kim. It is likely that N Korea will choose free market and S Korea choose socialist regime. It is irony that history turns around, unless S Korean people remove Moon by election. The US does not interfere with people’s choice. We have to know the truth, and the truth will make us free.(John 8:32)  Do we know the truth?  (May 15, 2018, KYP)
