Conservative News Criticizing Prez Yoon?

An article in the usually staunchly conservative Korea Herald reported the truth on Yoon's supposed summit with Japan's prime minister at the UN. 

Critics tear into Yoon for 'ill-planned' Kishida meeting

According to the article, the Korean government called the brief 30 minute meeting as an "informal summit" and the Japanese government as a "meeting." The article also cited Professor Lee Young-chae of Keisen University in Tokyo as stating Japan had no need to hold a summit, but they think they will eventually be able to get something from South Korea by accepting the Yoon administration’s request.”

While Korea media parrots Yoon's claims that the summit with Kishida repaired relations with Japan and was meaningful, the article states that many people feel that the meeting was completely unnecessary, ill-prepared and achieved nothing.

Korean Prez Blames President Moon's Administration For Former President Park's Decisions

Prez Yoon has been blaming former President Moon's administration for policy towards China with regards to the THAAD missile defense system.

A report in Hankyoreh (Outmoded as security system, THAAD retains rhetorical utility in Korea) stated as follows:

"Not only that, but the “three noes” are not “pledges” that the Moon Jae-in administration made, as Beijing has described them. They’re a military policy that has been in place since the Park Geun-hye administration. 

It was the Park administration that declared from the time of the deployment controversy in 2016 that THAAD was “not a US missile defense system.” And it was the US Defense Department and USFK that affirmed that THAAD radar was “not monitoring China.”

In its efforts to denounce the Moon administration’s “capitulations to Beijing” and condemn it for a military policy that had existed since the time the conservatives were in office, the Yoon administration has been twisting the facts."

And most Korean news media promote Yoon's claims that the Moon administration implemented the THAAD policy with regards to China, when it was former President Park Geun-hye's administration that started the policy. Completely distorting history and facts.

Yoon states that he will install more THAAD systems in Korea, but THAAD will soon be outdated and both Korea and the US military are planning other more appropriate defense systems for Korea. THAAD is not ideal for defense of Korea. It is more effective as early warning for US missile defense systems.

Korea receives no data from THAAD or has any say in their operation. Why does Yoon want them? It is mainly for defense from long range missiles. Korea is a short range from China and North Korea, not long range. Pretty ignorant.

Korea - No Masks Outdoors, Only Indoors

Considering 86.3% of Koreans are fully vaccinated and about 98% have antibodies for COVID and the number of new cases has dropped from around 100,000 to under 30,000 a day, it should be okay to get rid of masks finally.

S. Korea to lift outdoor mask mandate starting 26 September

Korean Officials Falsely Deny Prez Yoon Slandered US Congress?

The brief meeting with Biden that reportedly touched on security, Japan, and many other topics lasted for 48 seconds? Maybe they had a separate brief meeting or Korean news is really distorting facts.

Prez Yoon's office and leading conservative politicians, the deputy prime minister and foreign minister claim that he did not use a cuss word to refer to the US Congress and that the comments were directed at the Korean opposition party. The news all reported and showed footage of these people denying that Yoon called US Congress a bad name. 

So, I searched for the video on Youtube and listened. I can distinctly hear, loosely translated, as below;

"If those sons of  b****s (or any derogatory slang of your choosing) in congress (can also mean parliament) don't pass the bill, it will be so embarrassing for Biden."

Yoon's cussing in Korean is towards the end of the video linked below after his 48 second alleged 'meeting' with Biden.

[오늘 이 뉴스] "이 XX들이 승인 안 해주면 바이든은 쪽팔려서 어떡하나"

There is irrefutable evidence that Yoon did use a cuss word to describe US Congress, yet all these Korean government officials are blatantly lying and denying that he did, and Korean media is misleading the public by repeating these false denials as headline news. 

They must think that the average Korean is brainless and believes whatever lies the conservatives come up with.

Luckily, there is are videos on Youtube and Twitter! Wonder if those government officials are hard of hearing?

The sound of the video on Twitter is clearer. Yoon hot-mic incident in NY.

Prevent Aging Brain Cells?

Eat weed. Like people in Asian countries (Himalayas region, Golden Triangle, etc.).

Active ingredient in cannabis protects aging brain cells

Cannabinoids and Neurogenesis: The Promised Solution for Neurodegeneration?

Studies also show that it can regenerate brain cells.

Marijuana might cause new cell growth in the brain

Why hasn't this news been publicized widely? Maybe most news outlets are run by conservatives who do not want to indirectly promote marijuana use?

Korean Prez Calls US Congress F****kers

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's profanity-laced hot mic criticism of U.S. goes viral

Excerpt - "How could Biden not lose damn face if these f****rs do not pass it in Congress?" 

Yoon didn't pay respects to Queen Elizabeth II's coffin lying in state even though he went to the UK to go to the funeral. Yoon did not arrange a warm welcome for U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to South Korea in August.

There was no welcoming delegation for Pelosi when she arrived. No one of similar position to welcome her. And Yoon did not meet her, probably because he is conservative and hates liberals and progressives.

And the media says Yoon is strengthening ties with the US and that the US made new promises to protect Korea.

Korean media also emphasizes Yoon met with Biden and the Japanese Prime Minister and talked about important matters. He met very briefly with Biden and with the Japanese Prime Minister for less than 30 minutes. Making it seem like they had serious discussions.

Media says Yoon is repairing relations with Japan that the previous administration messed up. Japan took unilateral actions against Korean and refused to talk. 

How could Yoon blame that on the previous administration? Average Koreans boycotted Japanese products and Japan trips for over a year because Japan abruptly restricted exports of chemicals needed for production of semiconductors to Korea. Tried to negotiate and talk, but Japan was very arrogant. Korea now produces the chemicals locally. LOL

Yoon seems to assume that most Koreans have forgotten this.

Calling the US congress f***kers. Showing Yoon's true colors! Very uncouth.
