SNS Surveillance By Korean Government

A house was raided and searched after someone posted on a Korean SNS site that he was going to bring a gun to the protests (Koreans aren't allowed to own guns, except for hunting and it has to be stored at a police station).

Many Koreans feel that the Internet and phones are tapped.

What happens if you oppose President Park? You could be labelled a North Korean sympathizer and ostracized.

Another popular nominee for the Special Prosecutor job to investigate the Choi Soon-sil scandal and President Park's role is Chae Dong-wook, the ex-Attorney General who was forced to resign after he disclosed that his superior was biased against the opposition parties and was obstructing an investigation into the Korean NSA's involvement in spreading mass propaganda against the opposition using SNS accounts and agents, just before the last Presidential elections in which Park won by a slight 1 or 2% majority. There were also false last minute accusations about sympathizing and kowtowing to North Koreans by ex-President Noh (which damaged the opposition candidate Moon Jae-in reputation since he was the Chief Secretary to President Noh). The ruling party somehow got the classified records from the Korean NSA and deliberately misinterpreted words and statements. They also put them out of context. No one could confirm or deny, since the records are secret. Only a few people know what went on. Moon repeatedly said that the allegations were false, but the ruling party drowned him out and President Park won. Bummer.

In the news, this morning, the Blue House announced that stepping down from the Presidency is unconstitutional. What in the world? These people are deranged.

Giving your friend special favors and appointing her friends to posts where they embezzled money, letting her friends see classified documents and more is unconstitutional. Having such a president remain in power is unconstitutional.

Yesterday, students from 15 universities marched in four areas of Seoul and were joined by regular citizens.

Korean President Park Appoints Defense Lawyer

Prosecutors asked to question President Park as a witness to the Choi Soon-sil investigations yesterday. It was also announced yesterday that President Park appointed lawyer Yoo Yong-ha as her defense lawyer. He appeared on TV today saying that he was just appointed and needs more time to study the case.

What the fuck? President Park is being questioned as a witness, not suspect. Why does she need a defense lawyer? Looks like if she makes a mistake during questioning, she's gonna get caught!

When I went to be questioned as a witness, they never let me have a lawyer. I was innocent, but they wanted to make sure.

The President's lawyer went on to say that he thinks that questioning the President should be delayed until all the investigations are over, otherwise she will be questioned several times.

Everyone is in agreement that President Park is trying to delay her departure as long as possible. It could take 5-8 months to impeach her and the ruling party still might vote against it.

Everyone knows that if President Park doesn't step down, it will eventually get violent. She knows that too and doesn't give a damn!

If someone dies or gets injured at the next demonstrations. she's gonna keep thinking "it's their fault for protesting". I have met people like this many times before. Unreasonable. Due to chronic cognitive dissonance.

If someone dies or gets arrested, is she ethically responsible? Hell yes!

95% disapproval rating. 0% support among young in 20s and 30s.
Take the hint.

Nixon ordered an office in the Watergate to be broken into and he stepped down. If that's the American standard, then President Park has definitely lost in the court of American opinion, if not the world.

Official Tally of Protesters in Seoul Demonstrations

The Seoul City Subway reported that after analyzing traffic at subways near the demonstration for up to 11 pm., more than 460,000 people attended the protests using the subway. They compared the normal traffic on Saturdays with the traffic during the Saturday of the protests.

As the subway usually carries 37% of the traffic, it is estimated that over 1.27 million people attended as of 11 pm that night.

The protests lasted until 3:00 am., until the police asked the remaining demonstrators to disperse.

The police unashamedly state only 260,000 attended.

There were also demonstrations in other cities in Korea, and all around the world.

Went to City Hall by subway at 3:30 pm. The subway was packed and delayed.

Took a side street to avoid the crowds, but all the side streets were packed. 

In front of Sejong Cultural Center in Kwangwha Mun Plaza at 6:00 pm.

The police say there were 250,000 demonstrators. The demonstration organizers say there were 850,000 demonstrators at 6:30 pm. If you take into account that there are demonstrations all around the center of Seoul, there were more than a million.

Considering the protest started at 4:00 pm and will continue to past midnight, the total number of demonstrators could be more than two million.

I left at 7:00 pm to have dinner at home. As I left, I saw even bigger crowds walking towards Kwangwha Mun Plaza. I think most people are going to participate after dinner. 

I saw a lot of students that packed snacks for dinner. No money.

The last video was taken about 1 km away from Kwangwha Mun.

On the news, they say that two kilometers from Kwangwha Mun to Namdae Mun was packed with demonstrators. Also the side streets for two blocks on each side were also packed.

Why Time Moves Forward?

Maybe the reason that time only moves forward is that time is similar to mass being pulled by gravity. There could be some extremely strong force that drives or pulls time (reactions) forward. Something you could slow down, but not reverse.

One Hour Before Demonstrations In Seoul

(Seoul, 15:00)

The ruling party controls almost half of the seats in Parliament, so impeachment which requires a 2/3 majority is almost impossible.

The only way is for Koreans to demonstrate and show their dissatisfaction with President Park and her gang in full force. They can show that if the ruling party votes against impeachment, then the ruling party is no more. President's approval rating is 5% and the ruling party is 17%. A lot of old people just won't believe the facts or the seriousness of the crimes.

This is the third Saturday of demonstrations around the country with participation increasing every week.

Trump Victory - A Deja Vu of President Park's Election

President Park's election was based on post truths, assistance from the military intelligence, Korean NSA, and a last minute accusation of wrong doing by their opponent (with alleged Korean NSA help).

Trump's election relied on post truths and inciting anger against certain groups (in Korea, usually North Korea and anyone who talks about peace with the North), and a last minute accusation of wrong doing by the FBI. 

That last minute accusation of wrong doing. At least, US Republicans are very well aware of Korean political tactics. They probably knew about President Park.
