교회다니는 경상도 아저씨, 아줌마들이 "반 문재인" 농성을 하는데

연설장이 아수라장이 됩니다. Please watch. It's a lot of fun. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.

Everybody in these videos seems to be comedians. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.

One good thing about Korea now is that there is absolute freedom of speech.

And people are really free!!  They talk and shout anything (!!) they want to.

Korea is not like what it used to be when I was there. Oh, 불행했던 시절에 대한 향수...

God bless Korea.

Freer Korea must recognize what it means by independence. 

I am glad to see the era of the anti-communist and anti-Japanese campaign is beginning to end.

The idea of two factions had been integrated into blind submission to the U.S.A..

Korean public had been brainwashed to be SK independence equals the U.S.A..

Demonstraters for ultra-conservatives carry both 태극기 and American flag.

Yet, they do not know SK president can not mobilize his own troops without permission of the U.S..

It is no difference from Japanese’s. They understand foreign troops as helper’s,  not the conquer’s.

And they pay the expense for them. There is no country in the world that the ultra-conservatives

for foreign dependence but SK. They are supposed to be patriotic and hate foreign interference. 

In the middle of the 19th century, Europeans knocked on the door of China, Korea, and Japan.

China said, “We are better than you. There is nothing to learn from you”. They were reluctant 

to open and they were humiliated by force.

European ships came to Korea almost as many as Japan and asked to open.

But Korea said, “Ask China. We do whatever they say.”

They left quietly because they thought there were not much to gain from Korea. 

American ships appeared in Tokyo ashore in 1853. They were afraid but prepared to open and learn

from them to be like them. Consequently, Korea had been humiliated by western power

and Japan nearly as much as China had been. Unfortunately, the Korean public was reluctant to recognize it 

because their sentiment is overshadowed by the anti-communist and anti-Japanese campaign. 

Strong economy and defense are essential for independence. But the sovereignty comes from

the independent mind of the people. 

Couldn't agree more with Dr. Ohn.

Indeed, I wonder whether anyone would give a proper prediction on a nightmare(?) scenario

to have the U.S. troops pulled out from DMZ, with whatever the rationale/excuse they imply?

One of the major concerns on this scenario was how to protect/pull out U.S. citizens from Korea

with minimum sacrifices on the 'assumption' of 2 weeks to 2 months before SK is taken over by NK!!! 

YES, 2 weeks to 2 months as a maximum but presumably within ONE month which means FOUR WEEKS, buddy!

I can't go further on this information, but while serving as a 'surgeon in charge for POTUS' on his trip

to Far East Asia' during my tenure in Seoul through the era of '90, I had a unique opportunity to share the dinner

with quite a few US Embassy and WH related peoples including the medical team to listen to their 'off the record'

conversations in regard to the security issue involved to U.S. citizens in the Korean peninsula. 

So, 'independence'? what independence? Under Kim Jung Eun?  Because of this crazy Trump with brain defects,

such as 'what if' might become a reality. Reunification under Kim JungEun as the price of 'independence'? 

God bless Korea!

P.S. Within a week after I started to work at Samsung Medical Center, I convinced myself that the overwhelming

majority of Koreans I encountered were strangely brainwashed to idol the socialism = communism to have

frightened me! Have you ever heard of  'WIWHAGAM' (위화감)?  They believe everyone is equal, yes, equal,

regardless of the merits! So, SK people are ready whenever NK takes over to claim everyone will be treated equally.

It was a really amazing change among my own Korean kins while I was away for near 30 years, I couldn't digest!

Yes, yes, they are ready to welcome Kim JungEun/NK, holding the NK flag on hands at KwangHwaMoon, believe or not!

Whenever I see 태극기 is hoisted up in Olympics or other occasions, 

I often become tearful. At the same time, it is mind-boggling if you think about what it means.

It represents “Confucious Doctrine” the very idea failed us badly. I don’t even know what it exactly means. 

Even though I understand it fully, I do not know how important that is in the modern era. 

Koreans are supposed to be free and equal by her constitution,

but they are not free and equal because of Confucius ethics. You must obey to your elders,

parents and older brothers and sisters. Juniors can not advance over seniors.

You must speak to your elders and seniors with 존댓말 and to your younger person with 반말.  

I resent all of it. And it is Confucius ethics.

In my opinion, 태극기 was good by the end of 조선. 대한민국 must have the flag 

represents “free and equal” people.
