Dun Worry, If Park Refuses To Leave

Eventually, no one will listen to her. Probably end up sealing her in the Blue House.

Gotta feeling that most people in government don't want to follow her orders or policies.

People on TV news are now saying that the circumstantial evidence points to the following scenario:

President Park meets with group chairman, the group's immediate problems are resolved favorably, Choi and her gang collect money from the groups, with President Park seeming to give directions. Repeat 8 or more times. Pay little or don't cooperate, and then the group or group chairman runs into bad luck.

They say it will be hard to prove, but there is so much circumstantial evidence that it might be possible, even if they all deny it.

Too bad Korean prosecutors don't grant immunity to witnesses. If they did, even to just one person, they will have enough evidence to put people away for a long time.

Hope the people keep on being positive and peaceful.

What Was President Park Doing For 7 Hours During The Sewol Ferry Tragedy

During the Sewol Ferry sinking in 2014, President Park appeared on television 7 hours after the sinking was reported and asked if it was so hard to find the students when they were wearing life vests.

All Koreans knew that the students were trapped and couldn't get out from TV. Why didn't President Park know?

People asked, investigations were carried out and obstructed by the ruling party.

President Park avoided all questions on what she was doing that day. Officials were questioned and they said they didn't know what she was doing, or that it was classified.

Rumors were rampant that President Park probably received cosmetic surgery during the tragedy and didn't hear about the tragedy until 7 hours after it started.

Through recent search warrants related to the Choi Soon-sil case, it was found that Ms. Choi secretly visited a medical clinic in the place of President Park and got prescriptions for Glutathione. A military nurse administered the injections to the President.

The Blue House (Presidential residence) officially stated that no outsiders or medical vehicles entered the compound on that day. The spokesman said that he asked the President directly and she replied that the rumors are completely false.

It was just announced today that after searching the records, it was found that the nurse entered the Blue House on the day of the Sewol Ferry tragedy.

The Blue House just announced that there are no records showing the nurse entered the Blue House. This conflicts with the military hospital records which state that she did.

Now, we know why she and the ruling party kept stonewalling the simple question, what were you doing that day? Yet, she feels no shame.

President Park refuses to step down and is planning to try to raise her popularity. She is inviting impeachment fully knowing that it will take almost a year, at which time her term will be nearly over.

She lied to the people about her willingness to be questioned, her relationship with Choi Soon-sil, what she was doing the day of the Sewol tragedy and more. Yet, she doesn't seem to remember that she lied and did these things. Geez!

Legally, "unfit to serve" doesn't refer only to physical health, but also mental.

Korean Prosecutors vs. President Park

On SBS TV News, they reported that the notebook belonging to ex-Presidential Secretary Ahn Jong-bom (arrested), which was taken from the Blue House under a search warrant, was full of notes recording what President Park ordered him to do, including firing people and raising funds.

The prosecutors never released or leaked the contents of the notebook, until now.

Why? President Park said that she would accept questioning in the Choi Soon-sil case, but her lawyer is refusing to let her be questioned. The prosecutors need to question her by today in order to indict Choi Soon-sil by Saturday, the deadline for detention without formal charges. The lead prosecutor said that if President Park accepts questioning by Friday, it would be alright., The prosecutors are leaking information to pressure President Park. They are saying we have enough evidence, if you do not want to defend yourself, okay. We will leak more information.

In another leak, another Presidential Secretary, also under arrest, recorded his phone calls with President Park and Choi Soon-sil. In one recording, President Park asks him if he got Teacher Choi's approval. He was using a burner phone.

President Park Ordered Legal Action Against Critical Media?

Notes allegedly taken by Kim Young-han, the late senior presidential secretary for civil affairs (the same person is alleged to have given the tablet PC to Choi Soon-sil full of classified information and emails) appear to show that the Blue House ordered legal attacks against media outlets critical of the Park administration's influence peddling scandal in 2014.

Korea Times article: Did Park order 'attack' on critical media? 

She won't step down and neither will the people. How long before someone dies? If someone does die, she is responsible, in my eyes.

Even the traditionally conservative media have turned on her now.

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.

Korea Times article: "Beware: Everything you write on social media about President is under scrutiny" 

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

Korea Times article: "Park's fierce political enemy backed for top probe job" 

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.
