The Communist Manifesto begins, “A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism.” The evil spirit that haunted Europe in the 1800s has returned to haunt South Korea in 2020. The resurgence of China as a global power has led to a new golden time for Communists to once again openly express and spread their evil ideology.
China’s economic, social, and political influence has gone unchecked in South Korea. The establishment institutional media in South Korea have been completely compromised by Communist China: Chosun Ilbo, Joongang Ilbo, and Donga Ilbo. In fact, it was JTBC (South Korean broadcast network) that led the way in taking down President Park Geun-hye in 2016. The news broadcasts quickly transformed into weekly demonstrations in Seoul calling for the impeachment of President Park. Shockingly, even South Korean conservatives, members of President Park’s own party – in the name of unity – actively sought her impeachment. One member stands out from all the rest, former Jusapa activist Ha Tae-kyung.
As a reporter for Chosun Ilbo I learned a lot about communism through my work on former Jusapa activists (name for South Korean communists). In particular, I learned the most from former Jusapa activist Ha Tae-kyung, now an elected member of the South Korean National Assembly. In 1997, Ha Tae-kyung was caught secretly communicating with North Korea in an espionage operation with Kim Yeong-hwa. But he converted. He defected from the communist (Jusapa) movement and became one of South Korea’s leading voices against its evils. He used his knowledge to identify other spies in South Korea society, like Lee Seok-ki and Yoon Mi-hyang. He used this knowledge to gain favor with South Korean conservatives and now, when it counts, he has chosen to turn his back on liberal democracy, freedom of speech, and rule of low. He has turned his back on the Republic of Korea.
Now turncoat Ha Tae-kyung harshly criticizes Min Kyung-wook, who is currently leading efforts to resolve major issues of fraud and Chinese influence in South Korea’s most recent election. Carrying black umbrellas and wearing all black, thousands of South Koreans recently protested outside of the National Supreme Court in Socho, Seoul.
This is a warning to South Korean National Assembly members Kim Moo-sung, Yoo Seung-min, and Kim Se-yeon. Ha Tae-kyung and his communist loving friends will remove all of you within a year. Why are you helping him? When Ha Tae-kyung eventually takes control of Haeundae Busan and the three of you are kicked out of the National Assembly, what then? What will you do? It’s hard to believe, but Ha Tae-kyung, Im Jong-seok, Lee In-young, and others are fervent, practicing communist believers. Wake up, grab a Taegukgi
(Republic of Korea National flag) and join the fight against communism!
