South Korea's President Declares Martial Law -- But the Parliament Cancels It on a 190-0 Vote

Update:

This is about corruption, by which I mean his and his wife's. IIRC, his wife is already in a lot of trouble and he is about to be.

No one can figure out what his play is here though. It is, thankfully, going to fail and then he's absooutely done. It is utterly bizarre.

Posted by: alexthechick

Ah. Of course. A lot like Biden.


The president claims the rival party has RUSSIAN, I mean North Korean, sympathies, so obviously all civil rights must be suspended and the military must conduct armed raids on the parliament.

Collin Rugg
@CollinRugg

NEW: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declares emergency martial law, accusing the opposition party of "sympathizing with North Korea and of anti-state activities." (CNN)

"Through this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin."

"I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country."

He asked people to believe him and tolerate "some inconveniences."

Obviously I'm no fan of North Korean sympathies, but I've watched the thoroughly-rotten American Deep State take anti-constitutional act after anti-constitutional act while claiming they're only doing so to stop RUSSIAN INFILTRATION AND SUBVERSION.

The 190-0 parliamentary vote suggests that this just might be a lawless act taken to preserve the only thing that matters, political power.

I don't see how you restore democracy under Martial Law?

I thought you did that at the ballot box?

Collin Rugg

This last election taught us that "democracy" doesn't actually mean anything to the people who scream it all the time.

What's going on in South Korea?

South Korea is in chaos after President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law, saying it;s necessary to stop "anti-state forces,: especially pro-North Korean leftist groups. The decree bans all political activities, controls the media, and prohibits strikes and protests. Stocks are in turmoil, and military forces are moving toward the National Assembly, with helicopters seen flying overhead.

More videos of the chaos here.

Again, my natural sympathies lie with anyone opposing communists and Marxists and North Korea, but I've never heard a whisper that the South Korean government was in danger of violent overthrow before now, and the 190-0 parliamentary vote to cancel the martial law declaration suggests this is pretextual.

Yoon's own conservative party denounced his imposition of martial law.

The president's surprising move harkened back to an era of authoritarian leaders that the country has not seen since the 1980s, and it was immediately denounced by the opposition and the leader of Yoon's own conservative party.

Under South Korea's constitution, the president can declare martial law during "wartime, war-like situations or other comparable national emergency states" that require the use of military force to maintain peace and order. It was questionable whether South Korea is currently in such a state.

When martial law is declared, "special measures" can be employed to restrict the freedom of press, freedom of assembly and other rights, as well as the power of courts.

The constitution also states that the president must oblige when the National Assembly demands the lifting of martial law with a majority vote.

Collin Rugg
@CollinRugg

NEW: Protests are breaking out in South Korea with citizens calling for the arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

"Arrest Yoon Suk Yeol," protesters shouted in front of the National Assembly.

South Korean parliament voted to defy Yoon's declaration of martial law.

What comes next is uncertain.

"[The declaration] is not going to succeed," said South Korean political science professor Kang Won-taek.

"We will see people taking to the streets tomorrow. How can the military control them? By sh00ting them?" he said to the NYT.

Kang predicts that members of Yoon's party will join the opposition to impeach him.


CNN has the standard CNN take: It's Trump's fault or something.

Obviously.

Not a drop of rain nor a bird falls from the sky without the insane neoliberal corporate Regime rushing to claim it was the Devil Trump's evil scheming.

61 Here's what I've been able to piece together based on the reports I've seen.

The S Korean President knew he was about to be impeached, so he declared martial law. The army came in and blockaded Parliament. The MPs breached the blockade and held a vote to lift martial law, all while the military tried to stop them. The army left. Legally, martial law is still in effect until the President honors the vote. The President is constitutionally obligated to honor the vote, but martial law is not officially lifted yet. The President is expected to be impeached in the near future.

74 I had a friend years ago who has since passed away. He was an MP in Korea at the end of the Korean war. He went back with a veteran group at the invitation by South Korea to see what has happened to develop the areas were the fighting occurred. As they were on a bus in Seoul they came upon a riot were students were battling police. Both sides saw the bus with "Welcome US Gis" on the side. A whistle was blown the rioters stepped back and bowed as the bus passed. My friend looked out the back and saw the riot start up again. An odd people

2. All acts that deny or attempt to overthrow the liberal democratic system are prohibited, and fake news, public opinion manipulation, and false propaganda are prohibited.

I read this one to mean the beatings will continue until morale improves.

6. Innocent ordinary citizens, excluding anti-state forces and other subversive forces, will be subject to measures to minimize inconvenience in their daily lives.

One thing that isn't often noted - Reagan picked generally good allies in most of his Cold War interventions. And if you compare his record to his predecessors it looks amazing honestly.

As an example, JFK allowed the assassination of Diem, who was a much better leader then everyone that followed him. And of course ironically JFK was assassinated not that long after.

93 Good summary bonhomme. Tidbit: well-done analysis of video of military breaking into parliament shows the troops had training magazines, pistols with no magazines, and bolt-carriers for simunition (training, not real, ammo) in their rifles.

Wild A**sed Guess: military is following orders but taking steps to ensure nothing serious happens - like shooting inside parliament. Anecdotal evidence of military/police showing half-hearted response to crowd shoving/pushing (by South Korean standards!) also suggests state mil/police going through the motions, following orders, but minimally.

US forces smoked some Iranian-backed mooks coming into Syria from Iraq.

Meanwhile Israel is showing some good 1950s spirit, and not f***ing around with the "ceasefire" - pre-empting or reacting to Hezb violations or impending possible violations. US and Fwance whining, but I'm guessing Bibi is following the approach he'd already decided on when knuckling under to the deal. Policing/mediating a ceasefire is near impossible in the best of circumstances, but this situation gives the big dog (Israel) lots of freedom of action.

They said the same thing about the restoration of the Sistine Chapel. But before the restoration, the ceiling was so dark and dingy you could barely make out the art. I was there after the restoration, but they had an exhibit on the restoration that included before and after photos. It was a huge improvement.

163 In May, when the lawfare against Trump was heating up, Joe Biden claimed that no one is “above the law.” This is not true. James Clapper, who lied under oath to Congress about spying on the public, is above the law. FBI agents who abused their power and conspired against the duly elected president are above the law. Generals who make secret calls to our enemies to circumvent the president are above the law. John Brennan, who lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop and a spying operation on Senate staffers, is above the law. Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder, unlike Trump appointees, was never going to be handcuffed or thrown into prison for ignoring a congressional subpoena. He is above the law. As were Black Lives Matter rioters whom Vice President Kamala Harris helped bail out of prison.

And the Biden family is definitely above the law.

173 This reminds me of that singularity of evil, Madame Hillary, who coined the phrase "Russian asset" to describe DJT and Tulsi.

Such a malignant, studied Motte and Bailey fallacy contained in a single phrase, which has no defined subject or object.

So by asserting (falsely, or at least unfalsifiably) that the person is a thing of value to the Russkies ("asset") they get to imply (Motte) that the one so smeared is an active agent of malign influence, yet can retreat to the (Bailey) that they were only saying the person was a thing (object) of value to the Russian actors and were not asserting any conscious treason, etc.

Same with "collusion." Same as it ever was.

But the head of the Bishops' Conference of France (CEF) Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort said: "The star of the Notre Dame reopening ceremony is Notre Dame itself."

The pope had not wanted his presence to be a distraction from the essential point of the occasion, he added.

"It's not a snub aimed at France," said another bishop."

There's lots of stuff we don't question. Force equals mass times acceleration. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. The atomic mass of cobalt is 58.933. Things may get adjusted at the tenth point beyond the decimal but things are for all intents and purposes fixed. That's the Magesterium of the Church.

229 > The wedding, in a Catholic church, was presided over by both a priest and a rabbi.

A priest, a pastor, and a rabbi are at lunch talking and they discover they all recently had a squirrel problem. The priest complains he hired an exterminator who cleared out the squirrels from the building, but two weeks later they were back.

The pastor says they got live traps, caught the squirrels, released them in a preserve miles away, but two weeks later they came back.

The rabbi says he and the trustees got together to discuss their squirrel problem. They decided to make the squirrels full members of the synagogue. Now they only see the squirrels on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

243 There's lots of stuff we don't question. Force equals mass times acceleration. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. The atomic mass of cobalt is 58.933. Things may get adjusted at the tenth point beyond the decimal but things are for all intents and purposes fixed. That's the Magesterium of the Church.

Now we have Francis, who's the ecclesiastical equivalent of the IUPAC saying, "Hey folks! In response to the modern world, the atomic mass of cobalt is 86." You'd lose respect for any institution that made such radical changes for no good reason.

In the US, St. Whatsisname church, grounds, convent, and parsonage is outright owned by The Catholic Church.

Actually that misses the point. The gospel itself says Judas only made the objection about selling the perfume because he was skimming the till and wanted some of those sweet, sweet denarii for himself. It was also a symbolic gesture foreshadowing Jesus' death and burial. So it really doesn't have anything to do with spending on church buildings versus charity.

The court also declared that she violated Georgia's Open Records Law.

"The Court also hereby ORDERS Defendant to conduct a diligent search of her records for responsive materials within five business days of the entry of this Order. Within that same fiveday period, Defendant is ORDERED to provide Plaintiff with copies of all responsive records that are not legally exempted or excepted from disclosure."

Big shoutout to @JudicialWatch
and the GREAT @TomFitton
for another slamdunk victory. This could bring major legal troubles for Fani if, indeed, she coordinated with the federal government to go after President Trump.

I have to say, the courts just haven't been kind to Fani. She loses every time she opens her mouth to argue a case. She probably regrets going after Trump and just wishes she was on a cruise or cabin massaging Nathan Wade's bald head.
