🆘️An Appeal to the International Community and Leaders Who Cherish Human Freedom🆘️ Distinguished members of the international community and defenders of human rights! Today, the Republic of Korea faces an alarming regression in democracy and a concurrent erosion of fundamental human rights. This crisis transcends the fate of any single individual or administration; it is a warning sign that the very foundations of liberal democracy are in jeopardy. Former President Yoon Suk-yeol and his spouse are currently subjected to politically motivated detention and degrading treatment. During his presidency, Yoon defended constitutional order and liberal democratic values. Yet today, he has become a victim of political retaliation wielded through state power. Korean society is now engulfed in turmoil, shaken by widespread distrust in electoral integrity and the legitimacy of those in power. Rather than addressing these concerns, the authorities—whose own democratic legitimacy is questioned—are resorting to the suppression of dissent, accelerating the collapse of human rights protections. Most shockingly, Korea now witnesses an unprecedented event: the simultaneous imprisonment of a former president and his wife. This symbolizes how far Korean democracy has been driven into an extreme and dangerous state. Former President Yoon is confined to a solitary cell less than two square meters in size. Despite suffering from diabetes and enduring sweltering heat exceeding 36°C, he has been denied adequate medical care. Even during hospital visits, he has been forced to wear handcuffs and electronic shackles—an unnecessary humiliation amounting to cruel and degrading treatment. First Lady Kim Keon-hee, meanwhile, has grown emaciated from an inability to eat properly. She is suffering from severe depression and malnutrition, deprived of both medical and psychological assistance. Her health and very life are at risk. The imposition of handcuffs and electronic shackles on President Yoon during treatment constitutes cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment in violation of Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Mrs. Kim has been detained and investigated without the assurance of a fair trial, in breach of Article 14 of the ICCPR, which upholds the presumption of innocence. The simultaneous solitary confinement of both a former head of state and his spouse represents an egregious abuse of power that is incompatible with international human rights standards. Tens of thousands of citizens, online and offline, are rising in defense of liberty and the rule of law. Their struggle transcends partisan lines; it is a nationwide resistance for the survival of freedom and democracy. Accordingly, we make this urgent appeal to the international community: Demand the protection of the human rights of former President Yoon Suk-yeol and Mrs. Kim Keon-hee, and insist on fair judicial proceedings. Request that UN Special Rapporteurs and international NGOs urgently investigate and monitor the situation in Korea. Call upon the Government of the Republic of Korea to honor its international obligations and reaffirm its commitment to democratic values. This appeal does not represent the interests of any political faction. It is a plea to defend the universal values of freedom, human rights, and democracy. In the face of illegitimate power trampling on human dignity, silence amounts to complicity in the weakening of democracy. We earnestly ask for the solidarity and decisive action of the international community, so that Korea may return to the path of democracy and human rights.
🇺🇲Dear Honourable congressman, I sincerely ask for your help as a Korean citizen ✅️First – Lee Jae-myung is a criminal who violated international sanctions. He funneled millions of dollars illegally to North Korea, strengthening a regime that threatens America, Korea, and the entire free world. A courageous pastor has already filed charges against him with U.S. authorities. When a leader breaks international law to fund a dictator, he deserves not respect, but condemnation. ✅️Second – Lee Jae-myung is not the legitimate leader of Korea. He is a usurper who rose to power through fraud. When the elected president, Yoon Suk-yeol, declared emergency martial law to uncover the long trail of past election frauds, Lee did not answer with truth. He struck back with tyranny. He impeached Yoon. He jailed him. And only after removing Korea’s rightful leader, Lee himself seized power through yet another fraudulent election. This is not democracy. This is dictatorship. And let us not forget—Lee Jae-myung has long been an anti-American agitator. He publicly labeled U.S. Forces in Korea not as allies, but as “occupying troops.” A man who despises America, who insults the alliance, cannot be trusted as a partner. ✅️Third – After becoming president, Lee Jae-myung revealed his true nature even more clearly. He carried out acts of inhuman repression. He attempted several times to drag former President Yoon into custody, leaving him injured in the process. And in a shocking break with all democratic norms, he jailed both the President and the First Lady at the same time. These are not acts of justice. These are acts of vengeance, of tyranny, of political terror. Thank you. God bless America, and God bless the Republic of Korea 🇰🇷Yoon AGAIN🇺🇲ONLY YOON
RIP

While Democrats used their time in control of Washington to pass the Inflation Reduction Act and funnel billions in taxpayer subsidies to big banks, billion-dollar companies, and China, President Trump and Republicans in Congress did the exact opposite.

Is that why John Deere announced layoffs this week?
I can lie on the internet too.
It is like you are the president’s PR person. I think you should represent your MO constituents.
