South Korea – Impeached Coup President ‘Aligned With Washington’s Values’
During the last years it has become obvious to even shallower minds that 'western values' are just a marketing slogan used to hide the enormous brutality with which the 'west' is trying to bend the world to its will.
Evidence can be found in many recent international news items: The genocide in Gaza – transmitted live for anyone to see, the baseless annulling of democratic elections in Romania, the applauding of the Jihadi takeover of secular Syria. Israel's creating of 'buffer zones' by stealing Syrian land is seen with sympathy while Russia is condemned for fighting NATO's decade old attempts to destroy its natural buffer zone of a neutral Ukraine.
All this has led to confusion. It necessitates that the rulers sell black as white, depict destruction as rebuilding, argue that sheer tyranny is an expression of democratic values.
For an example of the last point see this remark by the South Korean pro war propagandist Duyeon Kim in a recent New York Times piece which laments the loss of a U.S. controlled proxy for waging war in the Far East.
Impeachment in South Korea Has Cost Washington a Staunch Ally (archived)
President Yoon Suk Yeol shifted his country closer to Washington and stood up to Beijing. But that foreign policy could be recalibrated in the future.
“Washington couldn’t have asked for a better ally and partner than the Yoon government,” said Duyeon Kim, a fellow with the Center for a New American Security. “Until we know who South Korea’s president is, the U.S. just lost a key partner at the leader level whose personal conviction aligns with Washington’s values and approach to regional and global issues, particularly when dealing with authoritarian states.”
The 'key partner' the U.S. has lost is the one who broke the constitution by declaring martial law, who illegally ordered military and police units to block the National Assembly of South Korea, who had planned to arrest the opposition leader as well as the leader of his own party, who even attempted to launch a 'limited war' with North Korea to justify his ambition for being a dictator.
Duyeon Kim is of course correct when she says that Yoon 'aligns with Washington's values' when one recognized that these values are in favor of destruction and plundering.
She is particularly correct when she says that Yoon liked the way the U.S. is dealing with authoritarian states which follow its leads. That is why he tried to remake South Korea into one.
But such double talk is obnoxious.
Its contradictions add up. The political center which uses it is starting to fold.

nato is the sole cause of this nato-russia war and ukraine is the proxy place.
<=NATO is not a cause, it serves as a convenient proxy for Class I and II intentions. Its purpose is to use the nation state NATO member governments as a money siphon.. Its method is to extract sufficient wealth from the masses (Class 4 persons) to enable the conduct of wars that open for Classes I and II persons new markets and to strengthen Class 1 and Class II possession of the monopoly powers that have made classes I and II people so powerful.
If (NATO) is eliminated or if NATO fails a new proxy will be created to carry on in the place of NATO.
=IMO, the only effective remedy involves changing the positions of Class I and Class II people in each of the prisons(nation states) that constitute the system which divides the humanity of the world into 256 different armies.
From____as arranged to conduct war______to_____ As arranged for peace.
Class 1 people (Oligarch, deep state)__________Class 4 people (the masses )
Class II( global monopoly corps)_______________Class 3 (the Government)
Class III( the government)_____________________Class 2 (global monopoly corps)
Class IV ( the masses )________________________Class 1 (the Oligarch, deep state )
The driving force for war comes from needs of the people in Classes 1 and 2.

Manipulation of consciousness by the ruling financier elites is calculated to stem, or at least delay their ultimate demise...as the number of "unbelievers" continues to mount...particularly amongst the younger generations.
<= yes I agree the younger generations are beginning to grasp the lies.. evidence the 26 yr old who killed the wealthy President of United health care.. is an expression of that understanding. Each day the bastards involved in health care, medicine and housing are squeezing more and more out of the patients and customers and returning in services and housing less and less.. Maybe the health care system and the housing system should be nationalized and everyone be provided free quality medical and an ample housing.
Globally, patent and copyright monopoly powers created from hot thin air by rule of law should not apply to anything medical, pharmaceutical, housing, food or education. Access to Medicine, pharmaceuticals, housing, education, and food {MPHEF}should be considered human rights entitlements. Every state in the nation state system should be obligated to provide its citizens before any legislature or ruler can budget or spend one dime of the tax payers money on military. No for-profit entity should be allowed to be invovled with any of these five areas.
It is monopoly powers that make Class 2 global multinationals so powerful> This power gives then an advantage in extracting from the general population the best human capital available: above average wages, access to medical insurance, long term -funded retirement plans, and privileged access to medicine not only acts as incentives to attract talent from the general population but it also takes the best talent out of economic competition with the big guys.
I believe the UN charter needs to require clauses that outlaw “profit making” or “possession or use of monopoly power by anyone doing business in any of the five MPHEF areas”.

Ultimately, [en masse migration to the hinterlands ]..will become a template for awakening people right across the planet, most particularly here in the U$$A, as centralization and urbanization has been highly effective in depriving people of any sense of community.
<= hinterland migration may fire the start gun that brings about a hierarchical rearrangement. The positions of the classes in the power hierarchy might change. (see schema above ).. Americans are not happy with being treated as prisoners in a nation state owned by a very few..

Democracy means power by the people<= Posted by: Don Bacon | Dec 16 2024 23:13 utc | 102
Democracy does not exist. Democracy is a propaganda word.
<== power by the people Democracy exist only for those global bearers of chaos, war, regime change, Trojan infiltrated governments, death and destruction by Terrorism, poverty, starvation, and unparalleled monopoly power. As subscribers to the ideology of Economic Zionism..they control the governments, the economies, the banking systems, the natural resources, the industrial outputs, the commercial outputs AWAE people trapped, isolated and indoctrinated who live locked up in a locally managed national jail.
These jails collectively make up the nation state system (the nation state system is a prison, its sovereign nations are jails, its jails are indoctination centers).
Collectively the nation state system makes slaves of all Class 4 persons in the world (no one escapes nation state incarceration). For the most part, class I and class II persons own you, me, our children, our teachers, our politicians and everything of value the world has to offer. So to everyone who is not among the few (Class 1 person) or who is not a privately owned, publically financed multi national entity, Democracy and monopoly powered capitalism are words that carry with them, a false and misleading and often terrifying propaganda.
The nation state system captures and uses everyone in the world from birth to death. It forces its captives to provide for the needs and wants of those who have the power to control or influence its outputs. We the common people of the world. If we the slaves were in command of the nation state system, the few would be condemned to behave, the few would have to learn to control their greed, the few would have to learn to contribute to the common good for all.
There should be but one propaganda to indoctrinate the people in the world, but the few have used the nation state system they control to indoctrinate class 4 persons. At least 256 different propagandas are visible. Those different propagandas are used to manipulate the people of one nation against the people of target other nations. This manipulation makes the people of both nations victims and the owners of the both nations richer and more powerful.
Humanity was not meant to be divided, humanity was not meant to be raised as warriors so its members could fight each other, humanity was meant to work together, humanity was meant to create a better more comfortable world for the current and coming generations. Humanity has no duty to the nation state (patriotism is a theme song invented to manage nation state prisoners. The prisons each sing to the same tune but the words of the song they sing have been amended to accommodate divide and conquer strategies.

Finance capitalism is now dominant over industrial capitalism, but this wasn't true during and after WW2 when the world needed a robust industrial base to fight the war and rebuild Europe and Asia after the war.
<= if you look at the ideology of economic zionism (king of the mountain idealism, none but the few are entitled anything and whoever dies in the fight to attain access to the top is justified) you can track the changes in the various economic systems. Capitalism is an expression of economic zionism. At first that idealism was in expressed as competitive capitalism, then the ideology of economic zionism morphed competitive capitalism into monopoly powered capitalism, and now it has as you say become financial capitalism. Yet, in all of its expressions the underlying ideology supporting capitalism is economic zionism.
Posted by: Tom_Q_Collins | Dec 17 2024 2:57 utc | 129 I'm of the opinion that what the West (aka the central bankers and their oligarch owners) really hate about China is that they aren't party to the usurious rent seeking Mammon worshiping cult of western private finance and/or have not and will not open various sectors of public Chinese life to them. Similar, in fact for Russia, Iran and others for slight variations on the same reason.
<=maybe said another way, the hate becomes internalized because of the ideology that drives economic zionism.. competition of any kind, any where, actual, potential or imagined is a threat to the progress and survival of the guy trying to become king of the mountain. This explains the hate for Russia as well I think.

China is seen by the US ruling class as the most serious threat to the US position as the hegemonic power.
<= right on..! Only one can be king of the mountain.
