Supporters of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol stormed a Seoul court Sunday after a judge extended the impeached leader’s detention over his ill-fated attempt to impose martial law. Yoon said he was “deeply shocked and saddened” by the pre-dawn attack on the court, where his supporters smashed windows and doors.

  4. Trump will intervene. Mind your place. Liberal establishment is crumbling and Trump will throw you to kim to make sure that it does not survive. Ain't for nothing that Netanyahu made the deal against his will…

  5. The weaker side in any domestic conflict in any country can be competitive if they ally themselves with MAGA right now. We've never been more powerful.

  7. remind me how this is a 1st world nation behavior again? storming a building is 1 thing, but I can't defend the vandalism

  11. Frankly, these people are not Yoon's supporters, but rather hired thugs who are paid for their work, and not normal citizens. Most Koreans are happy that Yoon has been arrested this time and are looking forward to a prison sentence.

  12. The truth of martial law is hardly known outside of Korea, so I tell you the real story.

    It may sound strange, but this martial law was a legal act guaranteed by the Korean Constitution.

    According to the Korean Constitution, martial law should be initiated through a Cabinet meeting, and the end of martial law is subject to the decision of the National Assembly.

    At the Cabinet meeting, most members of the State Council opposed the start of martial law, but martial law began.

    The reason is that the legitimacy of the initiation of martial law is not the result of the cabinet meeting, but the fact that the cabinet meeting was held.

    Of course, the law is strange, but the fact that it was followed is important.

    In addition, within three hours of martial law, the decision to lift martial law was made by the resolution of the National Assembly, and the president accepted the decision.

    The President has met all the legal forms and requirements related to martial law. This martial law is not illegal, at least under Korean constitution.

    Isn't that strange, then? Why did the president forcefully start martial law, which would be lifted soon?

    This may be the weirdest part, but many Koreans have already noticed why.

    In the Sonja Byeongjeom, the classical military book of the East, the word 'Seongdong Gyeokseo' is said. It is a military code to make the east loud and attack the west.

    The president tried to use the Sungdong Command. The National Assembly had a minimum number of troops,

    It didn't stop most lawmakers from entering the main building of the National Assembly.

    There were some lawmakers who went over some walls, but they just had to enter the main gate.

    Many lawmakers presented identification cards to soldiers, entered the National Assembly and voted to suspend martial law.

    When all the opposition parties were concentrating on the National Assembly, the President sent more troops to the Election Commission than the National Assembly.

    They included a significant number of IT professionals,

    The soldiers seemed to be trying to extract some evidence from the central server of the Election Commission.

    And, though not exactly everything is known, the mission seems to have succeeded.

    Let's conclude. The president aimed to catch evidence of fraudulent elections prevalent in Korea.

    China is behind the election fraud. Opposition forces with China have brought electronic ticket machines and electronic ticket systems to Korea,

    It is suspected of being easy to manipulate: at least two parliamentary and one presidential election,

    In other words, it is believed that there was election fraud in the election of the previous president of Moon Jae In.

    The Election Commission is a constitutional independent body that rejects audits by the Board of Audit and Inspection,

    The search and seizure warrant submitted to the court was repeatedly rejected.

    The only practical way to investigate the Election Commission is martial law. It uses both democratic procedures and methods,

    The Election Commission investigation has been repeatedly blocked, and numerous accusations of election fraud have all been rejected,

    There have been cases in which those who have monitored and exposed fraudulent elections have been sentenced to prison when evidence has been fabricated.

    Rather, DNA extracted from the exposed was placed in a space that didn't even go and was manipulated and imprisoned as if it had penetrated the space.

    Only that part of the evidence of the fraudulent election was destroyed by fire in a specific investigation room of the prosecution.

    Powerful and huge forces are involved in rigged elections and have prevented rigged election investigations.

    It is speculated that these fraudulent elections may have involved Chinese intervention,

    Many countries in the Belt and Road trade with China have been involved in controversy over fraudulent elections since the late 2010s due to Korean electronic counting machines.

    In Kyrgyzstan, Romania, El Salvador, and other countries, there were fraudulent elections, and all of them were Korean electronic indicators,

    It was China intervening behind the scenes. This fight is not just a martial law incident that took place in Korea, a particular country,

    Two big battles around the world, the conflict between the United States and China, a microcosm of the war in which liberal forces fight against authoritarian forces.

    So, there may be further background to the question of why Yoon Suk Yeol's president did martial law at this point.

    The big opposition party, which has 190 seats out of 300 due to rigged elections, has cut the administration's budget in almost every way,

    They impeached 22 officials of the administration and made them disappear. They were actually plotting a state paralysis.

    In particular, the special activity expenses in the budget related to the presidential office were made to zero. This background may have encouraged the president's martial law.

    Also, it means "reflective behavior therapy." That is, if the opposition party uses the right of the law to run a legislative riot, it makes the president realize that the right of the law can do martial law. If you test what's possible by law to the limit, you let the opposition party realize what's happening to each other. If the opposition's indiscriminate impeachment is justified by law, then the president's martial law is justified by law.

    However, the essential reason is to end rigged elections.

    If we fail to prevent the election fraud, the opposition party will continue to maintain its power in a negative way,

    It means that China's influence in Korea will grow. Unlike what is known abroad, support for power in Korea is 50-50.

    There are over 80 polls saying martial law is wrong, but if you're asking who you're going to support, it's 50-50.

    The president's martial law does not immediately shift to the support of the opposition. The public is looking at the situation relatively coldly.

    And, little is known about the inside story of rigged elections yet.

    Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law would not have happened if Harris or Biden had been elected.

    Only after President Trump was elected would he have thought he could investigate the election fraud.

    I'm not saying Harris was rigged,

    Some of the forces who supported her tend to turn a blind eye to benefiting from the rigged elections, which are set in China,

    This is because Korea's martial law leads to election fraud investigations, and we are wary of it affecting the Democratic Party of the United States.

    Please keep an eye on this issue in Korea.

    This fight is larger than expected, and the question of overcoming rigged elections and winning the free world depends.

  14. "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”
    is a quote that is often attributed to Thomas Jefferson

  15. S Korean Democratic party is corrupted for supporting N Korea dictator.

    Any S Koreans who are against USA are traitors working for N Korea

  16. This is 119 Democratization!!! The Western District Court violated the law, and Chinese police disguised as Korean officers were the ones who first assaulted the citizens. But the media isn't reporting on that at all and is framing the revolution as a riot!!! The rule of law in South Korea is dead!!!!! No more justice here.

  19. North Korea is the only sovereign, independent & dignified nation on the Korean Peninsula, the south is just a US Military base.

  21. The martial law was illegal because Yoon didn't notify it in advance to the Congress for its approval. That's why all the Congressmen had to go over the fence of the National Assembly building to vote it down.

  22. Court system and election system are all being affected by Communist in S Korea and Taiwan. These are not coincidence.

  23. Wait and see, what will be. Not in the Court, but in the Consensus. 😊 I am in Korea, & know the best.

  24. South Korea's impeachment crime show (Dec 2016, Dec 2024) failed this time. After Trump leaves office, he will do the Yoon Seok-yeol pardon show again like Park Geun-hye. South Korea wanted war, and North Korea and Russia formed an alliance. Trump wanted peace, and South Korea was deceived by Trump again. However, Trump will not be fooled twice (breaking the defense cost-sharing agreement, impeachment crime show). South Korea should go to the IMF again.
