Impeached President Yoon Releases a Message to His Supporters

It took a couple of days, but impeached President Yoon has now released a message to his supporters:

Former President Yoon Suk Yeol said Sunday he will always stand by his supporters, two days after the Constitutional Court ruled to remove him from office, while not issuing any message of his accepting the court’s decision.

“As long as you — young people — do not lose confidence, our future will be bright. Though I step down from presidency, I will always stand by you,” Yoon said in a message, released by his legal team, to a group of his supporters.

Yoon said he is grateful for their support, saying that “realizing the nation’s grave crisis situation, you have made a journey to defend freedom and sovereign rights, which will be recorded as a great history.”

It marked Yoon’s second statement since Friday, when the court upheld his impeachment over his brief martial law declaration in December.

On Friday, Yoon said he was sorry for not being able to meet public expectations and it has been the greatest honor of his life to serve the nation.

With Yoon’s ouster, South Korea should hold a snap presidential election within 60 days of the court’s ruling.

Some political observers said Yoon’s Sunday message was apparently aimed at rallying support from his aggressive supporters ahead of the presidential election. In a meeting with leaders of the People Power Party on Friday, Yoon called for thorough preparations for the party to win the election.

The Democratic Party denounced Yoon for “instigating” ultra-right forces, saying that Yoon has not apologized for his “illegal” martial law declaration despite the court’s decision.

His message “appears to be nothing more than a refusal to accept and a mockery of the Constitutional Court’s ruling,” South Korea’s largest party said in a statement.

You can read more at the link, but it is interesting that the DPK is claiming that Yoon is instigating right wing forces when it has been incredibly peaceful after Yoon’s impeachment. Could you imagine how much violence would have happened over the weekend by the Korean left if Yoon was reinstated?

. Could you imagine how much violence would have happened over the weekend by the Korean left if Yoon was reinstated?

First of all, all the violence so far has been coming from the far-right. Remember, they’re the ones who sacked Seoul’s courthouse. And they’re the ones that took up arms to prevent Yoon’s arrest.

Second of all, other than the attack on the courthouse by the far-right Church of Love Christian cult movement, back few months ago, the last violent protests in Korea happened over ten to fifteen years ago, when the riot police were declawed from carrying batons, prevented from using provocative tactics to violently put down protests, and prevented from using teargas. This, in turn, has discouraged violent protests by anyone. And any violence during protests would be heavily criticized.

I don’t think you know too much about Korean society.

The Korean left has two pathways to presidential power.

– election fraud

– Taking advantage of general Korean voter ignorance that there is a globalist movement and it wants Korea to be dependent. The Chinese are (temporarily) aligned with the globalist to sabotage Korea.

“What good did Yoon do?”

The best thing Yoon did was reverse Moon’s policy of shutting down nuclear power and keeping Korea dependent on foreign energy while destroying an industry Korea needs to maintain competitiveness in global reactor construction.

That was a globaliat move and few people recognize that.

Let’s see what the Korean voters do.

It will be very disappointing to watch them choose handing over the country to the anti-Korean globalist agenda becasue they simply don’t know it exists.

Learning about it is called far-right YouTube conspiracy theory.

Don’t worry about Korea, it chose rule of law and democracy over a one-man strong man trying to be another Trump.

The Project 2025 playbook, calls for Trump to call in the insurrection law, and declare martial law. Yesterday’s protests across America saw 5 million Americans take to the streets. This is what you MAGAs want to see happen. It gives you the perfect excuse to grab power that will mean ICE going door to door, to arrest people of any color legal immigrants or not, then put them all in camps. The next will be those protestors, anyone defying the insurrection law (to protest or criticize) will also be grabbed and put into camps. When last time Trump was in power, some adults prevented him from doing this. This time, Trump has surrounded himself with loyal Yes-men. America is heading towards a civil war.

Those foreign investors who pulled all their money out of the US, were smart. The $5.5 trillion losses over the last two business days are just a start to a large US and possibly global meltdown, as the MAGA USA implodes.

Hopefully the criminal actions of the DPK under the direction of the CCP has opened the eyes of the young people of Korea.

The complaints about Trump range from ridiculous to hilarious.

The one that got an actual chuckle was from an institutional investor complaining that Trump can’t be trusted becasue if he shorts stock, Trump could reverse his policy and screw the investors.

The media hyped this as if it was a legitimate complaint.

Trump’s does not care, nor should he, about the desires of institutional investors gambling on the stock market, generally at the expense of retail investors.

Trump evaluates the situation and sets policy based on the best response. When the situation changes, as it frequently does at a rapid pace, Trump changes his policy.

Instead of recognizing this as the ideal course of action, the media and the midwits all squeal that Trump is eratic and unpredictable.

In fact, he is very predictable… but not if you expect a stagnate one-size-fits-my-ideology response.

Yah, those damn commies right?

That’s why those commies are proposing to change Korea’s Constitution to curb Korea’s presidential power, so that people like Yoon never again abuse their power.

Oh is that so? These MAGAS are so shameless, they keep changing the narratives whenever things don’t work out as they expect. Why not just be truthful for a change?

This was Trump on his election campaign, boasting that the stocks were up, only because he was about to get elected.

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-stock-market-rcna187581

And then he kept on repeating his stock market victories, boasting over and over and over well into January, February, and right before the latest crash.

This doesn’t sound like he doesn’t care about the stock market.

Don’t stop there. Keep quoting me.

“Trump evaluates the situation and sets policy based on the best response. When the situation changes, as it frequently does at a rapid pace, Trump changes his policy.”

Pointing out the economic optimism when Trump was elected was good policy.

Not caring about the feeling of those playing the system when forcing other countries to reverse decades of imbalanced tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers is currently good policy.

You are going to see a lot of flip-flopping with Trump’s policy. It won’t be due to public opinion, fake polls, or media lies. It will be in response to evolving situations. He will stop punishing the cooperative and he will find new ways to punish those against him.

The dummies will cry that he is eratic but his decisions will be very, very rational.

All commies are damn commies… but these people are not commies. They just use the commie playbook to maintain control because they have no rational message…

…and most voters are too dumb to be rational anyway.

What percentage of people in the zero risk category let Big Pharma medically experiment on them for absolutely no gain except artificial peer acceptance?

One could speculate voter fraud has a better chance of giving the anti-Korean globalists an election edge in the national assembly than in the presidency.

That is conspiracy theory… until you question why the anti-Korean globalists work very hard to block transparency in the election process and results.

Nobody hides evidence in their favor.
