KCPAC 2020 ROK-USA Conference
4.15 General Election Analysis
Grand Hyatt Hotel, Seoul, South Korea
The important figure behind the 2020 general elections is Yang Jung Chul, who was the chairman of policy for the ruling party, and the director of the Democracy Research Center, a think-tank.[1] Yang was the chairman of the pro-North Korea student activist group called the ‘Ja-Min-Tu’ (“Anti-American Self-Government Anti-Fascit Democracy Struggle Committee’) during the late 1980s at HUFS (Hanguk University of Foreign Studies). Yang is also known to have worked closely with Koh Han-seok.[2] Koh is known to be an expert in Big Data collection, analysis, and use, and was also the co-director at the Democracy Research Center. Koh was also a member of the ‘Joong-bu-jiyeok-dang’ or the ‘Central Regional Party of the Korean Workers’ Party in South Korea’ spy case, which was a huge espionage case in the early 1990s.
On July 10, 2019, Yang visited Beijing, China to formalize the greatly promoted ‘ROK-China Policy Cooperation’ with the Chinese Communist Party. It was strange for the ruling party (the Democratic Party) of a free democratic country like the Republic of Korea to enter into a policy of cooperation with the Chinese Communists. At the time, the US-China ‘war’ was clearly seen to have the US come out on top, and so the visit by Yang was even more questionable. The Moon Jae-in regime was at that point in time reeling from the apprehensive atmosphere of ROK-US relations. It is a mystery what the hidden ulterior motive was in this public, self-destructive behavior of the Moon regime, and what the real objective was. The following day, Yang visited Tencent, a Chinese company that works very closely with the Chinese government; however, the purpose of this visit was not made public.
The Big Data utilized by the Democrat Party in this recent election, is known to have been carried out in top-secret under the direction of Yang 9 months prior to the elections. [3] The Democracy Research Center signed an exclusive contract with a mobile communications company, and used this company’s customers’ information, such as years of info on movement, spending habits etc., within the legal bounds allowed, and created an Big Data system.
The Democrat Party’s Big Data system is using spatial data as a foundation, that is, demographic and sociological data’s sex, age, place of resident, education, residential type, residential space, family composition, and marital status information. In addition, public survey data, mobile communication’s voters’ movement, and consumer spending habits, all rolled into one Big Data system.
However, the Personal Information Protection Act at that time strictly restricted the provision of third parties to personal information without subscriber consent even if non-identifiable information is not specified. Considering that the Data 3 Act, which widened the use of non-identifiable information, passed the National Assembly in January 2020, but the implementation began in August, there is concern about what data the Democratic Research Center received within the ‘legal scope’ and whether the data is useful as a political marketing tool. If there is a violation of the Personal Information Protection Act, it will be a very serious issue because it systematically infringes on basic human rights by the ruling party.
In the midst of the growing controversy surrounding the early voting fraud of the April 15 general elections, a secret document made by the Democrat Party’s Strategic Planning Committee, before the elections were held, was released by Lee Geun Hyung, Chair of the Committee, the day after the elections on April 16 via his personal Facebook page.[4] According to the results of the analysis, the report not only accurately predicted the winning of 163 seats, but its predictions regarding the regional and the entire election results were exactly the same as what actually panned out, causing widespread suspicions.
By region, the capital metro area (Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Incheon) winning 101 seats (actual result was 103 seats); Daejon, Choongchun Province winning 20 seats (actual results were the same); Gwangju, Jeolla Province winning 27 seats (actual results were the same); Busan, Ulsan, South Gyeongsang Province winning 8 seats (actual result was 7 seats); Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province winning 0 seats (actual result was the same), and Gangwon Province and Jeju winning 7 seats (actual result was 6 seats) – in almost all the voting areas, the predictions were almost exactly the same.
Furthermore, in this secret document, a section titled ‘Correction Value’ led to allegations of actual manipulation by using the estimated number of seats secured by constituency to align with actual election results; that is, the Big Data election strategy of the Democrat Party went beyond the systematic implementation of election activities, and crossed the line into manipulating early voting results.
Another allegation is that the Democracy Research Center illegally obtained personal information and used that in extracting Big Data, and going further, if there was manipulation regarding early voting, this would have been carried out not by a domestic technician, but most likely through a Chinese company. Of course, all these are just allegations, and the confirmation of the detailed truth must be carried out by those directly concerned, in this case the National Election Commission which must provide answers, and also through a government investigation and an investigation carried out by the prosecutor’s office.
Electronic Ballot Counting Machines, ATMs, and HUAWEI
Many South Korean companies maintain very close relationships either directly or indirectly with China. And at the same time, these companies are involved in important business in the United States. However, one of these companies is Hantle System, which is the sole provider of electronic vote counting machines to the NEC. Hantle System maintains a strategic partnership with Chungho Comnet, which has the closest partnership with Huawei, and also has a strategic partnership with Tranax Technologies, which has the highest market share of ATMs in the United States. Tranax also has a close relationship with another South Korean company called Hyosung, which is the company that sells the most Huawei equipment in South Korea.
Therefore, if fraud occured in the general elections of April 15, and if there is proof that Hantle System’s electronic ballot counting machines were involved, the United States must seriously consider the dangerous possibility of millions of American citizens’ personal information being siphoned off to China via the tens of thousands of ATMs installed throughout the United States.
In South Korea, there is worry about Hyosung’s simplified payment system using Huawei communications equipment and leading to South Korean citizens’ personal information being leaked to the Chinese Communists. ‘Zero Pay’ is the focal point of former mayor Park Won Soon’s ‘Easy Transaction Platform’ project, but there is controversy because there is talk about connecting this system with China’s Tencent’s ‘WeChat Pay’ system.
The South Korean government (through the NEC) has exported its election system (servers and electronic ballot counting machines) through its ODA program to developing countries such as the Congo (DRC), Iraq, Bolivia and others. The Communist Chinese have also tried greatly to insert themselves into these countries and others and there are cases where they have succeeded. One example is of course Iraq, which has come under the influence of Iran, which itself is a strategic Middle East partner of the Communist Chinese. However, the countries that have received this ‘help’ from South Korea, have all suffered through allegations of election fraud in their respective countries. If the suspicion turns out to be true, the South Korean electoral system has become a tool for fake elections, helping to perpetuate the corrupt and repressive pro-China puppet regime suffering from the debt trap of one-to-one (BRI – Belt & Road Initiative).
In conclusion, there are allegations that the South Korean general elections held on April 15 using Hantle’s electronic ballot counting machines and Huawei’s communications equipment involved large-scale digital fraud. And at the core of these allegations is Huawei which is controlled by the Chinese Communists. If the Republic of Korea, which is at the forefront of liberal democracy and shows economic prosperity as the world’s top 10 economy, is being used as a tool of world dominance through the One- Belt- One Road of the Communist Party of China, it is a tragic and terrible reality.
All freedom loving and respecting free citizens, and the United States which is the center of the free world, must not let the fraudulent elections of South Korea just pass by. If the allegations turn out to be true, and despite that the free land of South Korea going under the dark control of the totalitarian, communist China is just abandoned, it can be concluded that any liberal democratic state in the world, including the United States, can not prevent the pro-China and China-following regimes from coming to power and other countries becoming slaves to the Communist Party of China through formal and deceptive elections. Just as US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered a speech recently at the Nixon Presidential Library, the free world must unite against the totalitarianism of the Communist Party of China. Finding out the truth about the fraudulent elections in South Korea will be the important test to make that happen.
[1] Yang, who controlled the ruling party’s election campaign, said afterwards that “I am too scared of the results” and announced his retirement.
[2] Koh was caught with the spy ring leader’s instructions hidden in his anus when he was released from prison in 1992. He was also the secretary to the leftist mayor of Seoul, Park Won Soon, who committed suicide in July. Koh was the last person Park saw before he killed himself.
