Former ROK Prime Minister Detained for Social Media Post

So now it looks like any conservative that made social media comments about the failed martial law plan is now subject to arrest as well:

A special counsel team detained former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn Wednesday on charges of inciting an insurrection following former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s imposition of martial law.

Hwang, who served under former President Park Geun-hye, made Facebook posts following the martial law imposition Dec. 3 to call for the eradication of pro-North Korea forces and those involved in alleged electoral fraud.

He also called for the arrest of National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik and then People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon.

Investigators from special counsel Cho Eun-suk’s team executed a detention warrant for Hwang at his home in Seoul’s Yongsan Ward after he ignored three summonses to appear for questioning.

You can read more at the link, but Hwang was targeted by the investigation after an online news outlet highlighted his X post. There is probably a lot of conservatives scrubbing their social media accounts now that this can be used as an excuse to detain them.

Banana Republic tactics.

I remember back in the day when “eradication of pro-North Korea forces” was a pretty popular opinion in South Korea.

But with the South Korean economy down and North Korea still being a workers’ paradise, it is understandable how that could be considered subversive thought.

I will add that to my list of things I cannot criticize, above potential election fraud and below China.

Eventually, it will be “misinformation” to speak badly of anti-Korean globalists and it will also be a forbidden topic. But, as most people are blissfully unaware of the plan to keep Korea weak and dependent while extracting all surplus labor, they don’t draw attention to it by forbidding discussion… yet.

You let the United States become a Banana Republic by electing Trump into office.

That and your collaboration with China and Russia.

You should own the problem you created instead of criticizing other countries who have shaken off a Banana Republic dictator wannabe and are now making things right.

“What’s that smell? Did the cat poop on the carpet again?”

Can’t be.

Cat poop smells better than that.

It smells like a mixture of equal parts stupidity, insanity, stoogism, and bad intentions.

Keep at it .

It doesn’t change the fact that you are uneducated and remain uninformed and delusional, believing that the Banana Republic you helped create resembles a democratic paradise
