Korean Election 2017

Korean Election 2017

The election date is set to May 9^th. Have you decided whom to vote? The poll indicates Moon Jae-in far ahead. He is an unabashed socialist in character and policy. If the poll is correct and three other candidates go their own way insisting on their own merits only, he is likely the next President. This is a bad news. S Korea can go down as another isolated nation in Trump era. If the remaining opponents see the reality and unite together to form a united free nation party as the alternative, this election becomes a choice between the free market and the socialist dictatorship. Then, it is fair for people to make a clear choice. Politicians have responsibility to provide such clear option.

Kim Jong-un has turned increasingly wicked continuing the missile tests with repeated failures. Such test is an expression of his will to fight against the US.  His will is based on a dangerous calculation. He calculates that he can sneak in to destroy Seoul if attacked in retaliation to his insidious action. The US is reluctant to go war with N Korea. Trump administration still in young stage has many urgent things to do domestically. But Kim is pushing a high stake game to the limit the US could not restrain. So, Trump is seeking a way to denuclearize N Korea with minimum loss. He has persuaded even China to influence its power to remove the nuke with his promise to offer an economic carrot to China. The outcome of Chinese effort will greatly decide what Trump will do on both China and N Korea in coming days. It is a lull before the storm. Unfortunately, Korean people don’t seem to understand when Trump recently said, Korea should pay for $1B THAAD missile defense system. This could be a message Trump made to his enemies and S Korea. He could also mean not to support Korean government with American money and military might, should a progressive party take over the government. But as long as Korea stays a free nation, such comments could be ignored. This is Trump era. Kim Dae-Joong and Rho Moo-hyun governments survived in a different era. Such government will be cut off America in Trump era. This is reality.  

Moon Jae-in keeps lying by unveiling ridiculous socialist policies aimed especially at ignorant young voters and helpless old voters. He will say anything that will help him elected. Conservative politicians must immediately stop fighting each other and unite together to stand behind one candidate against the socialist. Moon does not respect the law. He put his ideology above the law. He came out to the street instead of working in the congress to instigate Kwanhwamoon riots as a revolutionary force to topple the legitimate government. Saewolho salvage operation is his baby to secure his power base costing Korean people an enormous fortune. He mobilized labor unions, bought the judiciary system, and befriended the media. He managed to have the ex-president incarcerated. He has weakened Korean economy by having Samsung chief arraigned. This is only the beginning of what he would do when elected.  He will not only say but also do whatever is convenient to change S Korea to the N Korean structure. The peace loving Koreans will not be dragged like sheep to slaughter. This election is to stop Moon. It is the last chance.

Coming 10 days are the pivotal days that will determine the fate of S Korean future. No slight mistake is permissible. Just 10 days later, S Korea could become a totally isolated island disconnected from the free world. Moon government would have only one friend, Kim Jong-un asking only money. There will be no THAAD, $30 Billion surplus per year from America, US servicemen in the S Korean war field nor Korean trade with America. This is a wakening moment for all of us. We know S Korea was saved from the Korean War by America. But not all know that then-president Truman (Democrat) almost gave up S Korea. General MacArthur (GOP) saved the southern part of Korean peninsula and reinstated Seungman Rhee as the president of Korea on September 28, 1950. That was and is free Korea as we know. An American President understands free Korea. President Trump recognizes the spirit and would not support any socialist government in Korea. We Koreans must unite to stop socialist Moon and safeguard free Korea. The choice is in our hands today.
