South Korea’s National Election Commission (NEC) distorts numerous pieces of evidence of election fraud by dismissing them as mere “election irregularities” while attempting to defend itself. There are far too many incidents that cannot reasonably be explained away, yet the NEC remains focused on covering up these flawed elections. Meanwhile, South Korea’s media, police, prosecution, and judiciary continue to ignore or suppress these issues. This is evidence that an extensive election-fraud cartel has spread throughout the system. During same-day voting, the total number of votes cast should never decrease over time. However, cases were observed in which the vote count and voter turnout rate actually declined. Since higher same-day turnout tends to benefit the conservative bloc, there are suspicions that conservative votes were intentionally reduced. [Chart Explanation] 1) March 9 Presidential Election — Songpa District, Seoul -As of PM: voter turnout was 84.4% (477,736 votes), and Songpa District was ranked No. 1 among the top three turnout districts in Seoul. - As of PM (5 minutes later): turnout suddenly dropped to 79.1% (447,839 votes). → A decrease in the number of votes is impossible unless manipulation occurred. 2) April 10 General Election — Daegu and other areas - As of PM: voter turnout in the Daegu region was 49.9%. - As of PM (25 minutes later): turnout in Daegu decreased to 49.6%. → A decline in voter turnout is impossible unless manipulation occurred.

“China humiliated Trump in front of the world”? No, China humiliated itself with such a petty stunt. That said, however, Trump needs to get even sometime.

@aricchen Nicely put!

🇯🇵🇹🇼🇺🇸🇨🇳The Mirror They Fear Most: Why China's Rulers Hate Japan, Taiwan — and Democracy Itself There's a question that authoritarian governments never want their people to ask. Not "why are we poor?" Not "why are we surveilled?" Not even "why can't we vote?" The question they truly fear is simpler, and far more devastating: "Wait — it doesn't have to be this way?" Walk into Japan's National Diet building on any given weekday. You can. It's open to the public. Sit in the canteen where lawmakers eat. Order the same subsidized meal a cabinet minister orders. Watch a senior bureaucrat bow — genuinely bow — to an elderly constituent asking about her pension. This is not a PR stunt. This is not a scheduled photo opportunity. This is what power looks like when it actually belongs to the people. Cross the Taiwan Strait. Watch a Mandarin-speaking society hold a presidential debate — candidates interrupting each other, fact-checkers live on screen, voters changing their minds in real time. Watch a democracy born not from Western colonial design but from the same Confucian cultural soil that Beijing insists is incompatible with freedom. Then ask yourself: what does Beijing's hostility toward Tokyo and Taipei actually have to do with history or territorial claims? The answer is: almost nothing. The Senkaku dispute has existed for decades. The wartime grievances are nearly a century old. But the intensity of manufactured hatred — the school curriculum, the state media fury, the orchestrated street protests — is calibrated not to the severity of the wound, but to the inconvenience of the mirror. Japan and Taiwan are mirrors. And mirrors are dangerous. They reflect a truth the Chinese Communist Party has spent seventy years trying to bury: that Chinese-speaking, Confucian-heritage societies are not only capable of democracy — they are thriving inside it. Meanwhile, North Korea draws no such fury from Beijing. Myanmar, whose military junta harbors industrial-scale scam compounds that have enslaved thousands of Chinese citizens, receives no sanctions, no state media campaigns, no nationalist rage. Because Pyongyang and Naypyidaw are not mirrors. They are kindred spirits — regimes that, like Beijing, answer to no one but themselves. The pattern is not subtle once you see it. America's democracy — chaotic, imperfect, loudly self-critical — still renews its own leadership peacefully every four years. The EU's 27 nations argue constantly and still choose cooperation over coercion. South Korea impeached its own president and handed the case to its courts. These are not signs of weakness. They are the immune system of healthy governance. Authoritarianism doesn't fear poverty. It doesn't fear chaos. It has survived both, and exploited both. What it cannot survive is the moment an ordinary citizen looks at Tokyo, or Taipei, or Seoul, or Washington — and thinks: They are not richer because they are luckier. They are freer because their government is afraid of them — not the other way around. The hostility toward democratic nations was never about borders, history, or ancient grievance. It is about one regime's terror of a single, irreversible idea: That people, given the choice, always choose dignity. The most subversive act in an authoritarian state is not protest. It is a passport stamp from a country where the government says sorry. Original article by me @aricchen, views are my own.

@tanpukunokami The biggest A&W I've ever seen anywhere is in Okinawa! LOVE that chain!!

There is an American fast-food chain that you barely see in mainland Japan, but in Okinawa, people still love it like it’s part of everyday life. A&W. It was born in California in 1919, and came to Okinawa in 1963, before Okinawa was returned to Japan. In Okinawa, a lot of people call it “Ender.” Their most famous drink is root beer. It has “beer” in the name, but it’s not alcohol. It’s a fizzy drink with a unique herbal taste. Some people crave it every time they go to Okinawa. And if you try it for the first time, you might think, “Wait… what flavor is this?” But that unique taste is part of the A&W experience. Curly fries. Mozza Burger. The A&W Burger. Even the menu feels a little American. Okinawa is Japan, but it has a different history from the mainland. And A&W feels like one of those places where you can still taste that history.

@iloveholykorea Why does the English translation attribute anti-Christian persecution to the Yoon Administration? That's not what the original Korean says...what's going on?!?!?

Wesley Hunt's district... White: ~55% Hispanic: ~25% Black: ~10% Asian: ~10% It has NOTHING to do with his color!! It has EVERYTHING to do with his character!!! A lesson Democrats will never understand

@aqn_purple2 The VAST majority of people commenting online about security issues don't know the first, most basic thing about it. Funny thing is they don't seem to realize how ignorant their uninformed posts make them look!

アメリカが日本見捨てたら損失が莫大だから、仮にアメリカが日本見捨てるとしたらよほど頭のおかしい人間が大統領になってるわけでもないならあり得ない（たぶんトランプも日本助ける）んだけど、なんかこの辺の事情知らん奴結構いるよな。

이재명 : 국민 기본권, 공공복리 위해 제한될 수 있어 국민 기본권이란 사진에 나와있는 것과 같이 "국가가 함부로 침해할 수 없고, 국민이라면 누구나 누려야 하는 기본적인 권리입니다." 이걸 제한시킨다고? 당신 뭐하는 사람이야?

La prochaine fois que tu vois une âme perdue défendre le socialisme économique ou le communisme comme un modèle de vertu, partage lui ce post. Ça évitera peut-être une nouvelle boucherie. « On n'a jamais vraiment essayé le vrai communisme. » Si. On a essayé. Une vingtaine de fois. Sur quatre continents. Pendant un siècle. Et on a les chiffres. Chine, Grand Bond en avant (1958–1962). Les historiens indépendants ayant accédé aux archives provinciales convergent sur une fourchette de 30 à 45 millions de morts. Frank Dikötter (Université de Hong Kong), à partir des archives du PCC, retient 45 millions, dont 2,5 millions battus à mort ou exécutés par la milice. Yang Jisheng, ancien journaliste de l'agence Xinhua, dix ans d'enquête, retient 36 millions dans Stèles. L'historien chinois Yu Xiguang, vingt ans de recherche, monte à 55 millions. Pour donner une échelle : c'est la totalité des morts de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, concentrée sur quatre ans, dans un seul pays, sans guerre. URSS. Holodomor 1932–1933, famine planifiée en Ukraine, reconnue comme génocide par le Parlement européen le 15 décembre 2022. Goulag, Grandes Purges 1936–1938, déplacements forcés de populations entières. Le bilan retenu par le Livre noir du communisme tourne autour de 20 millions de morts pour l'ensemble de la période. Cambodge, Pol Pot. Environ 2 millions de morts en moins de quatre ans, soit près d'un quart de la population. S-21, Choeung Ek, évacuation forcée des villes en quelques jours. Corée du Nord, Vietnam, Europe de l'Est, Afrique communiste, Amérique latine. Encore plusieurs millions cumulés. Bilan global retenu par le Livre noir du communisme : environ 100 millions de morts. Chiffre repris en 2006 par la résolution 1481 de l'Assemblée parlementaire du Conseil de l'Europe, et en 2023 par une résolution au Parlement européen. On peut discuter la marge — 80, 90, 100 millions selon les méthodologies — mais comme l'écrivait Laurent Joffrin dans Libération, pourtant pas suspect de complaisance avec la droite : à 60 millions au lieu de 100, le communisme deviendrait-il présentable ? Et le contre-exemple « doux » ? Venezuela. Pas de goulag, pas de famine planifiée. Juste l'application méthodique du programme. Résultat sur dix ans : le PIB s'est contracté de plus de 75 % entre 2014 et 2021 — la plus grande contraction économique en temps de paix depuis 45 ans selon l'Institute of International Finance. Inflation annuelle de 130 060 % en 2018 selon la Banque centrale du Venezuela elle-même, dépassant 1 000 000 % la même année selon le FMI. Près de 8 millions de personnes — soit environ 25 % de la population — ont quitté le pays. Le plus grand exode de l'histoire de l'hémisphère occidental sur les 50 dernières années selon l'OEA et le HCR. En 2024, 82 % des Vénézuéliens vivaient dans la pauvreté, dont 53 % en extrême pauvreté. Zéro exception. Zéro contre-exemple. À chaque fois la même mécanique. Une caste auto-proclamée vertueuse s'empare du pouvoir au nom du peuple, et finit en nomenklatura planquée dans des datchas pendant que 99 % de la population fait la queue pour du pain. Quand Maduro distribuait ses CLAP — boîtes alimentaires rationnées et militarisées — c'était la même logique que Brejnev dans les magasins réservés de la nomenklatura, soixante ans plus tard, sous un drapeau différent. Hayek avait tout prédit en 1944, dans La Route de la servitude. Et Mises encore avant, en 1920, avec le problème du calcul économique : quand tu remplaces les prix du marché par la planification centrale, tu détruis l'unique mécanisme capable d'agréger l'information dispersée dans des millions de têtes. Il te faut donc une autorité qui décide à la place de tous. Cette autorité ne peut pas connaître ce qu'elle prétend planifier, donc elle impose par la contrainte. Et comme ça échoue toujours — voir Venezuela, qui a appliqué la séquence à la lettre : contrôle des prix par la Fair Prices Act de 2014, puis nationalisations, puis hyperinflation, puis rationnement militarisé — il faut contraindre de plus en plus fort pour survivre. La tyrannie n'est pas un dérapage du socialisme. C'est son équilibre logique. Le capitalisme de marché n'est pas parfait. C'est juste le seul système connu dans l'histoire où des millions d'inconnus coopèrent sans qu'une caste armée les y oblige. Les morts de Kolyma, du Laogai, de S-21 et des rues de Caracas vous demandent de ne pas recommencer. J'adore me tromper, ça me permet d'apprendre. Si tu penses que je me trompe sur un point précis, dis-le moi dans les commentaires, je lis tout.

May 17th UNAN “YOON AGAIN” Ulsan March Big thanks to all the patriots in Ulsan, Korea. For the past year and a half, Korean patriots have marched every week, demanding the eradication of election fraud and standing firm for “YOON AGAIN.” “YOON AGAIN” is not just a simple slogan. It stands for the eradication of election fraud, the elimination of anti-state forces, and the reinstatement of President Yoon Suk-yeol to his rightful duties. We are “YOON AGAIN” until the very end.

@AutomatPlastics Exactly!

小銃を携行した自衛隊の徒歩行進訓練、教育隊や前期教育を担任する普通科連隊の駐屯地では従来から行われてきた訓練なので。 さも突然始まったかの様に騒ぎ立てている人間は単に自分の半径5m以上の事に関心の無い無知蒙昧の徒か、分かった上でやっている悪質な活動家だけですわね。

バーカ。

@zettlerm @Stumkat_ Thanks for that! Saved me the trouble!!

@Stumkat_ Schau dir das Video nochmal ganz in Ruhe an. Lass dir ein Transkript erstellen, wenn du kein Englisch kannst. Spoiler: alles was du dazu geschrieben hast, stimmt nicht!

… Rubio hat soeben einen vollständigen Abzug der US-Truppen aus Europa angekündigt. Die 100 T US-Soldaten bei 60 Mrd.Dollar/a für Europa + die ausgebliebene Hilfe bei Straße von Hormuz begründen die Heimkehr unserer Soldaten. Die Auflösung der NATO ist nun beschlossene Sache.

@SedonaCAuthor LOL...been there...

I’m at a weird point in the new novel, it’s going a bit romance instead of straight fantasy and I don’t know if I like that for this book… the characters are just out of control and doing whatever they want instead of following the plan
