Dear Reader,
This blog includes TRUE Testimonial Based conversation-styled write-ups.
Quotations and Para-phrases are from WIKIPEDIA articles, History books,
published papers, book by Grace Cho , and based on TRUE life experiences/testimonials
of this blog author(s).
If you are grammatically critical; this blog content is not for you.
Those favoring GRAMMATICALLY Correct write-ups
may prefer; http://owl.english.purdue.edu/exercises/2/
instead of reading this blog. It's your prerogative...
(May you, annoyed by contents of this blog, never walk in the
shoes of those BURNT-abused-Victimized civilians voiced in Grace Cho's book;
http://studya2z.blogspot.com/p/book.html . May
those and current victimizations never happen to you, Reader.
Note; ignoring the very "FACTS" present in HISTORY doesn't
make the dead-murdered come back to life...sins are not
erased-nor eliminated by more acts of MURDER-Crimes
to cover up PAST Wrongs. It's there even when one
chooses to ignore it. Dead are dead. Murdered
patriots who have stood his/her ground based on
Right versus Wrong / those who have sacrificed one's own
lives in the face of evil/ those who have been murdered/ those
who have been enslaved/ those who have been and are being
victimized - - - TRUTH will always prevail...And dire
consequences will haunt/torture/reprimand those committing
such crimes. There is Heaven as there is EARTH...
History remains and never forgotten until sinners face the crimes
committed... ... .... ... ... .... .... ....!
To those choosing to read the contenTs ; in the conteXt
true to its message; may those victimized find healing...
...to those unaware of such EXISTING VICTIMIZATIONS by
'friendly, likable, smiling' antagonizers-abusers-bullies; may
one never experience VICTIMIZATIONS mentioned throughout
this blog.
....NO HUMAN BEING 'deserves' NOR 'becomes stronger'
after VICTIMIZATION... ONE Can
listen and learn from past or present VICTIMS without having
the misfortune of ever BEING Victims themselves...
...Learn to avoid "HIV/AIDS/STDs" proactively. Proactiveness
is the KEY.
...As in the service; "Safety First". Wish there were
more "Do as you preach" rather than "talk the talk without
walking the preached" personnel in this world...
So, given you are reading this blog to "EDUCATE" one's self; Great!
Again; the PERSONAL-Statements-IDEAS written on this post are
based on TRUE-LIFE-Experiences faced by this blog's author(s).
If you disagree with the content of this blog; this blog is not for you.
If you are open-minded enough to acquire 'wisdom' from its write-ups; you'll
have far better chance at 'avoiding' painful victimization than those mentioned on this blog.
This post aims to 'educate' and to 'empower' through
sharing 'true testimonials' of past and present victims.
It is in hopes that by sharing-learning-voicing from past and present victims;
then 'such victimization' has zero chance at poisoning
'those innocent individuals EMPOWERED through KNOWLEDGE'
in our neighborhoods.
Join the "Crime-Stoppers" like those acquainted with this Blog "IN STOPPING"
the "VICTIMIZATION" one person-one day-one neighborhood at a time.
Your daily Pledge through your practice of "VICTIM-ADVOCATE" approach
is much appreciated.
If you've joined this CRUSADE-minded "VICTIM-ADVOCACY"; WELCOME!!!
if not; it's your prerogative; and do note "ALL CONSEQUENCES- dire consequences
will follow every action " sooner or later...(MURPHY's LAW; What comes around
goes around).
Good Readings!
.............
Educational Messages one could gain from VIDEO LInks placed on this blog
hopes to either (1) Motivate individuals to continue his/her "good" acts with personal
gratitude from the authors of this humble blog and/or (2) to 'educate' those
unaware of such 'unspoken -unpublicized' facts in HISTORY that benefits one to
face it "earlier rather than later" in one's lifetime.
Furthermore, authors of this blog aim to share the message of "good " that benefits all those around...
Good acts benefit and improve individuals' lifestyle while peacefully co-existing in today's
multiculturally enlightened society (Thank you, Microsoft!)...There is a
need to 'eliminate' bad acts thru 'education' so that an individual's rights to freedom
is not violated by another. Furthermore, "Good" acts include "zero-tolerance" practiced
by those witnessing 'unjust' situations without turning a blind eye to acts of a 'sinner.'
Every individual participates in answering 'social obligation' by practicing self-policing
actions against 'acts of sin'; which in steps would 'educate' sinners-abusers to
'STOP' and replace 'BAD' acts with "GOOD" actions. This process one-day-one-person-
one-community at a time-will lead to "successful maintenance" of GLOBAL PEACE.
(GLOBAL PEACE in this blog is equivalent to every HUMAN BEING born on earth having equal rights to
FREEDOM; where no one human being is better...where no one human being has rights
nor privilege to abuse another without facing dire consequences...where no race/
no economic background of an individual hinders one's right to EQUALITY)
Note; Has anyone taken the time to find "Key" factors "Google and Microsoft"
have in common? Here are at minimal FIVE MUTUAL Factors shared by companies like "GOOGLE, MICROSOFT" getting
picked as 'most desired' place of employment...
(Common Factor1); Both Google and Microsoft CEOs have high income based on "service" oriented philosophy; *Google is ad-based corporation that lists and advertises businesses online to attract
consumers. Businesses pay Google a fee to list their ads promoting their products. Consumers
get free access to google ads in exchange for free access to email usage, etc of Google products...Google seems like it's based on 'newspaper classified ads' model of days before the internet...
&
Microsoft paved the way for MODERN-day access one has in 2013 to use internet and personal pc's-tablets-android cellphones in our daily lives. Thanks, Microsoft!; for all the unmentionably awesome
contribution only made possible thru your existance.
In this example, GOOGLE and MICROSOFT primarily "service"/ "assist" in individuals
around the globe connect online without the physical location becoming a hindering factor. Plus more....the lists vary by individuals...but basically, Google and Microsoft serves the general public/general population.
The increased popularity of Microsoft/Google directly correlates to
increased consumers of Microsoft and Google;
as affordability, comfort, easy access, helpfulness in making consumers favor
tools from GOOGLE and MICROSOFT
mean INCREASED Revenue.
With increased REVENUE ; Increased Demand=Increased Production=Increased Profit.
Google and Microsoft Founders' products make the lives of consumers easier via their technologically
advanced tools.
Simply put; Richer Microsoft/Google = Happier Consumers living more at ease thanks to
use of Google/Microsoft Products. "It's a Win-Win". Basically, it's a simple
win-win because the Google/Microsoft products focus on service tools that help consumers. The rich profits are a truly worth and deserving result. The Riches by Microsoft/Google mean more job opportunities and less unemployment. Increased demand for Microsoft and Google's products spell demand for higher education; increased college enrollment; increased value placed on education...
( common Factor2); Both Google and Microsoft employees are happy while at work.
(common factor 3); both Google and Microsoft tries to practice "fairness" among its employees.
(common factor4) ; both Google and Microsoft tries to offer the best BENEFIT Package in addition to
high salaries to deserving employees.
(common factor 5); with the successes and profits gained; both companies actively help
communities deserving help; easier access to affordable education via
scholarships, grants, and internships regardless of one's race/gender/age; Employment opportunities that base on individuals' CAPABILITIES/abilities to get the job done... in essence, it's an age-old concept of EQUALITY-Coexistance-at Workplace simplified/conceptualized/Practiced easier thru GOOGLE and MICROSOFT. The Two COMPANIES found answers and executed them with ease...Bravo, Google! Bravo, Microsoft!
-------------------------------Such is an example of "good" benefiting the masses....
Microsoft's Bill Gates is successful and rich because he rewards its employees. With the continual
of "good" work, MICROSOFT is an outstanding example of "GOOD" in our society. Bill Gates
is rewarded by riches - yet, his riches are shared by employees who can afford necessities through
worked income.
----------However, a company can quickly decline if and when "RICHES" are not shared by its contributors. Selfish acts by cheaters-immoral thieves cause "Stock Crashes" and overall destruction
as "the Great Depressions" faced by US's 1920's era. "Grapes of Wrath" depiction of that period
in history written by John Steinbeck should be avoided through 'COMMON GOOD" practices
by one-person-ONE Day-One Community at a time on a DAILY basis.
SONGS and MOVIES trenscend all barriers thru its "UNIVERSAL MESSAGE";
that we are all either "someone's son" and/or "someone's daughter". --------------------------------
.....Every household have black sheeps...every household has those who
do more harm than good...yet, a 2013-present day society exists
where "each and every BAD seed" has an opportunity to SELF-EDUCATE
one's self to do GOOD....it's paying for consequences to one's sin(s)....
learning to STOP doing bad to do Good that DIFFERENTIATES
one from past CRIMES...Ones who continue to do bad without
turning around to do good MUST pay DIRE consequences to each
evil action taken....
....Every COUNTRY has good citizens versus bad citizens...
....EVERY Human BEING from 2013-present day -to FUTURE has
EQUAL RIGHTS and Individual FREEDOM that should not be violated
by another...
.....NO one INDIVIDUAL is better than another....Each individual
travels a path one chooses...HUMAN BEING is a HUMAN being
...rewarded or PUNISHED for every action one chooses to take.....
Credit to Microeconomics; Choose one and lose out on the other....
Credit to BIG Stan of GU Philosophy101;
Knowledge is Freedom.
Freedom is gained from EDUCATION.
Therefore; Knowledge gained from EDUCATION rewards one to maintain one's FREEDOM.
Credit to; GU History Professor who passed away that ACADEMIC Year
"Judaism is the cornerstone of Catholicism"
"COEXISTANCE" = one can coexist when one realizes Equality versus superiority.
An automobile is built from small nuts and bolts as well as Engines and Computerized
Equipment...some visible...some not...Yet, every part in itself plays a major role
when it comes to building a CAR we drive on the road...Not one part is more superior than
another...every part is required to complete the production of a Car! ...
... from 2013...punishing those doing harm...rewarding those educating to overcome evil...
applying and REAPPLYING "CONSEQUENCES...DIRE CONSEQUNCES" to
every evil action one repeats without improvement...Such is the path to "COEXISTANCE"...
Peaceful and Free Coexistance.
Credit to OLYMPICS...Credit to the Sportsmanship...
Sportsmanship is not rewarding who is better...A true athlete who has mastered the sport shakes the hand of one's opponent after a tournament. The True Sportsmanship is a testimonial of COEXISTANCE rewarding those who have worked hard and INSPIRING one to be like the Winner without envy nor ego.
As such, postings on this BILINGUAL Site brings to attention the LONG-OVERDUE voicing of past individuals-past war victims living and whom have passed away; whose hometown was in the land of
unknown to globalized countries unaware of the chaotic 1940's...50's...
Praising and recognizing an ATHLETE , athlete's home town, athlete's COUNTRY does not
make other Countries any less valuable...
Messages are given credit to an individual regardless of one's background.
Goodwill is given praise.
Evil Actions face dire consequences.
As such; one recognizes GOOD done by praised individuals benefit the general public.
In praising good-doers, many benefit.
Good benefits all.
Bad depletes all but one selfish individual spreading POISON.
Such is the reason "GOOD-ACTS" are praised ...
IN CONTEXT; here is 1988 Olympics...while the hosting country was controlled
by Selfish Individual from 1980-1987
1988 Olympics is a Humane Testimonial to Hard-working, Self-less,
Patriotic individuals placing Country before one's self...
Yet, praises are withheld due to corrupted leadership of a country full of victims...
some still overseas never to set foot in the country hosting 1988 Olympics...
the hosting country that pocketed money belonging to its country folks
hungry and not compensated for generations ...1988 Olympic Hosting Country
Leadership lacks West German Prez of the 1960's to 1970's...the leadership of
a PREZ placing its citizens welfare before one's self displayed by W.German Prez
of the 60's-70's...Such leadership in presidents are few and rare among PREZ's
who HOARD tax-payers money for own gain...
.....1988 Olympics was
made possible by a past president not present at the Opening Ceremony ( rather
a newly appointed President sat in on 1988 Olympics)....because the corrupt
president replaced by 1988 still in 2013 refuses to hand-over the tax-payer money
he 'hid'...such evilness left many victims living in poverty un-televised in rural parts of
the hosting country of 1988 Olympics...
...while the "Burning Pigeons" during the torching
of the OPENING CEREMONY truly mirrors the poor citizens homeless and neglected.....
by its politicians living in underground living space covered by cardboard boxes....
....so that 1988 Olympic Visitors to the hosting country not see the poverty stricken
citizens from the Boasting Highway....1988 Olympics is another example in that time
period where "UN-VOICED" victims faced poverty still "hoping" for better
future through hard-work.....1988 Olympics displays POTENTIAL and
HOPE of 'ignored' citizens ....1988 Olympics are made possible by the hard
work of its general public working hard day to day without recognition....1988 Olympics
also displays the time period in the hosting country where its President from early 1980s
who have stolen money set aside for its citizens that even in 2013 investigations are
working hard to recoop... 1988 shows sportsmanship and human spirit of its hosting
country's people volunteering to make it the very best Olympics..."TRUE SPIRIT"
of "Selfless" and "Victimized" citizens criminalized by corrupt Government......The TRUE SELFLESS PURITY of hosting country's citizens stay mute while showing their very best thru OLYMPICS while they unvoice-keep mum of the SELFISH MONEY Laundrying Government Corruptions of the 80's...such is a display of HUMANITY...sportsmanship of the hosting country's citizens displayed in 1988

--------------------------NOTE: One must HONOR "HISTORY"/ "roots"
for future PEACE KEEPING Efforts to be successfully maintained...
The Sins of the NazI DOES NOT foreshadow the
"HEROIC" KINDNESS West German Prez Lubke
displayed to Prez Park of South Korea in the 1960's...
When not a single country around the GLOBE was willing to lent a helping
hand to" poverty stricken-non war crime compensated-
devastated' innocent victims in S. Korea; Prez Lubke of West Germany stepped up to the
HUMAN-Challenge...
W.German Lubke never buckled to belittling propaganda making fun
...W. German Prez Lubke stood firm in his "BELIEF" to show "KINDNESS"
while he himself was hazed for lending a helping hand to South Korea...
In the 1960's...when NO Asian nor European Country lent a helping
hand...
W. German Prez Lubke stood up against "Peer-Pressure" backlash to
lend a helping
hand to S. Korean Prez Park sending out helpless "SOS" to turned shoulders around the globe...
------------------
Given the 1960's-1970's era;
S. Korean Prez Park accomplished
more than the mistakes his critics note...
Given the Context/Timeline he faced; there is no one among his colleagues
in his era that could have accomplished more GOOD for his country than
Prez Park....
Prez Park was faced with "unfairness" to which he placed
priorities that had consequences...but any 1960's leader of that era
could have accomplished what Prez Park has....Prez Park
consequently faced 'toying mind-games' of US Military withdrawing
from South Korea if South Korea was not to offer
'access to p-r-o stitution' of Korean citizens for military service members.
Prez Park chose to continue 'itaewon'-hooker hill created during
Japanese Enslavement of Korea to the US Military in exchange for
'US's PROMISE' of keeping Communist RUSSIA-N.Korean attack.
(Note; US failed to relay to S.Korean Prez Park the pact
US made with Russia to seperate N.and S. Korea; US further
kept misleading S. Korea into being co-dependent; "abusive practice of grooming its victims"
; 'GROOMING' South Korea into believing FREE-US MILITARY Presence
was necessary
.........US in that period of time 'acted' like a friend
while was really a 'foe' to Korea. Such are the legacy of
Truman- JFK discrediting the works of LINCOLN and George Washington
in establishing US of A -home of its CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS...
...So, given the 1960's-1970's era, time in history; Prez Park
chose to continually offer 'itaewon' hooker hill supplies of
women to US Military just as the Japanese demanded during 1910-1950
enslavement....IN placing priority to NATIONAL Security of KOREA
from future Communist Attacks...this is when South Korea
didn't have UN nor US nor any country around the world offering
financial aide to rebuild WAR-stripped Korea......in 2013...one may conclude
that PREZ Park no way in his sanity wished for continued
'itaewon hooker hill' practice of 1960's-1970's be carried on to modern day 2013...
Prez Park cried ( he never showed public tears even when
his beloved wife was assasinated years before his own assasination
when US found out Prez Park promoted unification of Korea)
when faced with men and women sent to labor in West Germany...
to fight in the Vietnam War...using their income to build Factories
and Highways to bring wealth to S. Korea....But one could logically and morally
conclude such man of passion and patriotism could envision "continual"
enslavement of Koreans in modern day 2013...note Prez Park's assasination
followed with CORRUPT Presidents in South Korea that stoled tax money
of its people for themselves....Do not believe Prez Park in 2013 could have
envisioned that with the successful obtainment of WEALTH in KOREA was
not given back to those same KOREAN Citizens....that even in 2013
there are huge Upper Class Wealth gap to the poverty Low-Income
existing in 2013 Korea; the same rural southern S.Korean farmers and war-victims
living in poverty he tried to escape in 1960's-1970's....
......Just as a parent initially works while it may seem the child spends less time with the parent;
the parent's goal is to achieve SECURITY that would benefit the child; that in time,
one could reap the benefit of one's labor and sacrifices....Yet, Prez Park's
hard work and sacrifices of his people believing in his decisions for the good of its
people were "STOLEN" and "Painfully" disregarded since his cruel
assasination. Cruel acts of evil, adding salt to injury, comes from SNEEKY cowards
in US, Japan, Communist Russia hiding behind its KOREAN PUPPETs corrupted
to take FINANCIAL BRIBES to carry on the Assasinations and further Stirring of Chaos
visible throught the history of KOREA...Shameful!!!!!

..............click on "SOS" photo to access FORUM started by a Nurse in the US......
.......This 'referred' FORUM lists stories of NUMEROUS Victims able to voice
testimonials 'underpreviledged' KOREAN WAR VICTIMS throughout KOREAN HISTORY
year 1444 to present year 2013...past to present VICTIMIZATION throughout KOREAN HISTORY mirrors the stories told on the 'SOS' FORUM by JoAnn.....
*ATTN: VIctims-Advocates and Survivor of VICTIMS; stydying the "History of Korea"
gives one;
(1) an ability to "Classify" many form of abuse
(2) Characterize traits of Abusers hiding behind "I'm your Friend"/deceitfully friendly smiles for example
(3) witness cycle of abuse over generations
(4) Study the Causes and effects of VICTIMIZATION
(5) witness 'sufferings' of victims
(6) educate oneself of POISONous effects of "ABUSE" displayed by those
key-individuals' actions commmitted throughout Korean History
(7) the Poisonous Cycle of Abuse effecting the Society beyond 'abusers'...
"HISTORY of KOREA" studied as an EDUCATIONAL tool
can benefit VICTIMS in their recovery. One needs to note
that no one "chooses" to be victimized; rather one is DECEIVED
by 'Charming-connyving-manipulative-egotisticAL-cheaters'
out for individual gain instead of Co-existance.
..............
***FURTHER NOTE to self; No one individual as in JFK represents
all US CITIZENS to equate to such individual 'deficient display of chracter'...
............................................................................................
The potential Good Prez Park tried to accomplished was "significantly"
assisted by the helping hand displayed by actions of West German Prez Lubke.
S. Korean Prez Park with help from West German Prez Lubke
reconstructed/Industrialized S. Korea from Poverty
to modern day success story...Prez JFK did more
bad than good...JFK rejected financial assistance
to S.Korea and even frowned upon Prez Park
from asking West Germany for financial loan...
this is the leadership JFK demeaned
its people he represented because US Armed Forces
resided in Korea seperated by acts of Truman signing
agreement with Communist RUSSIA to seperate N.and S. Korea
for the benefits gained for themselves; and NOT reciprocated to the KOREAN citizens.
No one person is all good...
Yet, Prez Park and Prez Lubke in their
time - standout as HEROES...more Good than Bad were
accomplished
between 1960's - 1970's S. Korea and W. Germany
in credit to the two presidents...
Much should be taken into account the
GLOBAL Chaos two presidents faced
in the 1960's and 1970's....
ENGLISH CAPTION HERE ------ 00:50 Do you know the country Korea?
00:16 Just 50 years ago
00:25 They had nothing in their hands
00:33 Korean War was too severe
00:39 for those who just escaped from the colonization by Japan
00:54 Nobody mentioned
01:06 any word of the "hope"...would there be future? will they live to see tomorrow?
01:14 For them, tomorrow was
01:27 just another name of today which they had zero assurance for survival
01:40 Little praying for their survival was the only thing allowed to them
01:49 There were no poorer countries than this country
02:02 The sense of dream for them
02:07 was that they just spend a day without starving
02:17 and they just wanted their sons and daughters to avoid this poverty
02:24 It was obvious for them that the life was too severe
02:31 and it might never astonish us even if
02:39 they just sobbed and gave up in overwhelming helplessness
02:46 Nonetheless
02:55 they never attempted to run away... did not give up for the sake of their loved ones
03:14 Though they couldn't ensure a better tomorrow,
03:22 they just wished the tomorrow for their sons and daughters thru their own self-sacrifices
03:30 Officially enrolled countries in UN were around 120 at that moment
03:36 and the GNP(GNI) of the Republic of Korea
03:43 was only 76 USD in comparison with 220 USD of Thailand and 170 USD of Philippines
03:51 the second poorest country in the world was Korea
04:00 In 1962, Korea succeeded in borrowing loan as much as 140 million DMK from West Germany, equally divided country.
(Against JFK, Korea asked W.Germany for financial loan; Korea risked reprimand of US for the sake of rebuilding KOREA (given JFK denied Korea any financial aide, discouraging Korea from finding financial loan, occupied S. Korea demanding privileges to US Military Servicemembers freely committing crimes without consequences; placing American life more worthy than KOREANs in KOREA ;where US made themselves appear superior...note the mirroring actions by sinning US Military Servicemen in KOREA could not without consequence reciprocated by Koreans in KOREA nor in the US! .... The same enslaved in the South during American Civil War era - the same individuals who've witnessed ML King,Jr.'s struggles to find Equality; the very same individuals from the US MILITARY committed crimes in S.Korea then...and even at present time 2013 Itaewon. Note the discrimination existant in the past and present time 2013 seeing a Korean in the US...yet, same Koreans in KOREA who've been victimized are ordered by government to give 'respect' and display 'gentry ambassadorship' to foreigners disrespecting Koreans on Korean soil... Attention given to point out "Prez Lubke of West Germany is a heroic and a compassionate figure not matched by another during his time in Presidency; note a credit to KOREAN CHARACTER - while EUROPEAN COUNTRIES in the same WW2 aftermath of 1945-1950-1960's-1970's were granted US Financial Grants and Loans ...as well as from the UN....note that same countries and organizations turned down KOREA's plea for assistance; that only Prez Lubke answered...Given the loans received, no country had to do what Korea did...Korea (1) secured the loans with human collateral of coal miners and nurses, (2) Korea was occupied by US Military who demanded benefit of 'itaewon-hooker hill' human trafficking illegal to KOreans legalized for US military occupying Korea, (3) Korea received zero compensation from non-paid enslavement by Japanese from 1910-1945-even when leaving Korea - US McArthur and US Prez allowed Japanese to dictate how Korean Government was to operate; note the American-Indians and Local Hawaiians getting repayments; note the Jewish Nazi concentration camp survivors getting compensated; note the Filipines getting US Aide while crippled Korea of 1945-1950-1960-1970 received no assistance around the globe - but that of West Germany's Prez Lubke taking heart to help Prez Park...(4) note the very Japanese during the 2010 Tsunami and Earthquake saw "KOREAN" volunteers Civilian and Military assisting them...interesting how Korea stood up to assist the very Japanese in HISTORY have murdered children, sons, daughters of Korean mothers and fathers...'no gratitute' was mentioned... These are the Japanese Government ( not Japanese Civilians) - the Few Bad Apples in Japanese Government
plaguing bio-warfare on US Troops during Korean-War ; well, Japanese profited from selling blood to US Troops during the Korean War- the very same blood from Japanese Citizens left informed that the blood supplies were laced with bio-infections that US Soldier receiving those tainted Japanese Blood made them sicker...Paid Japanese Blood Supplies by the US Military who resided FREE in KOREA demanding same enslavement of Korean Hook-ers practiced during Japanese colonization of Korea from 1910-1945...the endless war-crimes further CHRONOLIZED in GRACE CHO's BOOK; Haunting the Korean Diaspora....Hope the readers of this blog would take heart the next time in witnessing "non-KOREAN -US CITIZEN of European heritage wearing a KOREAN War-VET cap openly smirks while speaking in intentional-broken-ENGLISH, "Hey speka En-G-li-sh; this is AMERICA" (in 2013 at a checkstand to customers of bilingual Koreans conversing in Korean); may the Heavens step in when the same even reoccurs - there will be MEDIA-Blarring-End of the -this is it-CONFRONTATION no child to witness occuring by an AMERICAN who have just finished reading , HAUNTING THE KorEAN DIAsPORA, lawfully-verbally-************ that same man with a KOREAN Wife standing next to him....show up once more at that location and repeat those words again...Oh, HEAVENS! Once, before unknowingly shook the very hands of the ignorant wearing "KOREAN-WAR Vet" cap ...standing within the crowd of unlookers without intervening...such of the past WILL NO LONGER be TOLERATED; especially knowing all that CHRONOLIZED FACTS in "Haunting the Korean Diaspora". Oh, HEAVEN help a soul if above mentioned ever re-occurs in this blogger's prescense...oh, HEAVENS....
In 2013, the GOOD in KOREANS miss media spotlight while "corruptions and 'bribed-crooks' among KOREAN immigrants of illegal massage-parlor-p r o stitution"s get AIR-TIME on US T.V. ; interesting how this blog stemmed from the very influence of those 'double-sworded' crooks tainting the "GOOD" of KOREAN Heritage with stirred up bad press...Any reader visiting Waikiki in Honolulu,HI of Japanese M a ss a ge P r o s ti tution masked may see visual contrast to run-down more visible illegality of KOREANs working in AlaMoana in Honolulu,HI. The unsaid "DIFFERENCES" in contrast to US tolerance of Japanese in the US to the US intolerance of Koreans in the US in 2013 speaks for itself. )
*****Please note; the blogger of this post have Friends-Family of ALL RACES. Witnessed happy marriage between Korean and Japanese heritage for example...so the use of "RACE" directly correlates to "describing that country's; whether Korean-Japanese-American-Russian-German-Greek-etc; political figures who've commited the crime and NOT the citizens of the mentioned COUNTRY.********
AND PLEASE buy a copy of, "Haunting the KOREAN Diaspora". Reading it would help, too.
Great gift item.
04:08 On condition of sending nurses and miners whom West Germany required and setting their salary as a mortgage
(Nurses and Miners' salary went toward paying back W.Germany-some portions sent to Korea...not many speak aloud; one believes there wasn't much left for workers to keep for themselves...workers never verbalize why they couldn't return to their homelands...life....life's rollercoaster of events...the work...the family in W.Germany....the ignorant brashly spit out one to go back to homeland...but the homesick has no place to go back...and those in a foreign country are constantly 'excluded' as a foreigner...one is homesick...yet one is not at home working in a foreign country seeing them as an outsider....one is homesick
and has no place to return because the time spent away from home disassimilated their lifestyle that one is helplessly unprepared to go back to the homeland one left 30years ago...the second home in a country they work gives daily challenging exclusions to which one tries hard to fit in...to keep mum of the discrimination...to show a smile instead of anger while one tears up silently away from the onlookers...the generations of multicultural children born of the parents are never told of the pains...yet those very children are still silently excluded...such cycle of exclusion in the shadows...the unspoken sadness that travels thru generations of offsprings clueless yet faces the silent exclusions...the tears from first generation carries onto the unknowing but equally pained 2nd-3rd generations...the women of its homeland are sent away...the homeland loses its roots due to multi-cultural marriages..
...the silent culture that "enslaves" those born to a "ethnic background" in a Strategically Accessible location to which one's "COUNTRY" is located...of the "sons and daughters" born to live without sin victimized as badly if not worse than sinners dying so tragically generation after generation,,,
...Saddest is the "testimonial truth" that all victims are victimized in the "scummiest" unspoken and behind doors-cowardly fashion (such typical trait present of 'nice' +'likable' abuser(s)...so deceitful )....
..... as Korean-born citizens are kept in the dark...never publically knowing how or why they are subject to "UNSPEAKALBE" abuse... helplessly being puppets to the evil-doers hiding behind 'propaganda'...
...Such are the "SADDEST" victimization faced by these innocent sons and daughters...who have passed away ...who are living it daily...
........Can one learn not to turn a "blind eye" to such victimization?
.....what comes around do go around (Murphy's Law)....
.......COULD one voice---one person - one day at a time make difference?
(Answers come to individuals tapped into one's morals/souls)...
04:18 Before Germany admitted the ability of young Korean nurses, what they firstly did was to clean dead bodies with a gauze with alcohol
04:30 Miners worked extremely hard as they endured serious heats of the earth in the mine caves under a thousand meter deep ( while its citizens worked 8 hours, Koreans put in 12+hrs)
04:40 President of West Germany was moved by Korean workers; whom were nicknamed, "COREANA ANGELS"; how hard they worked and so he invited President of Korea to W.Germany. Many Korean workers got together to see their president.
04:48 They began singing their national anthem prior to the presidential speech. However, they couldn't finish singing because they couldn't stop whimpering. Korean president put his prepared speech into his pocket and said the same sentence repeatedly.
05:00 (Thank you. Your work will help S.Korea escape Poverty.)
"Let's work harder and harder. Let's work much harder so that our sons and daughters will not be sold to foreign countries.
05:07 Miners pleaded to W.German President Lubke in vain for help. "Please help our country, please help our president. We will work hard. We will work."
(Miners covered in Black Coal...those waiting outside due to lack of seating inside held out their
blackened hands out to Prez Park. "Dear Prez Park...Gah-Kah..." unable to verbalize their emotions...The young nurses held onto hem of S. Korean First Lady's Skirt crying, "where are you going without us...we miss home...we miss our parents...don't leave us...")
05:17 Korean president tried to hold back his tears during the ride back to the accommodations after leaving the crying miners and nurses
(Korean Miners were the very best recruited men from Korea...some with college degrees...mostly from Korean Military believing the cause of the Country over one's self... Korean Nurses who were in their twenties...college students...recruited to believe they'd be home in three years time---later to find out they'd work to help Korea rebuild...not have a place to return due to constant changes in Korea...Korea of their memory would transform to a Korea they'd be foreign...these sacrificers would be foreigners to their homeland as well as live generations homesick in a country of work where they are exlcluded as foreigners...such are the tears of those who live abroad homesick for the homeland they CIRCUMSTANCIALLY had to leave behind...)
05:26 W.German President Lubke gave Prez Park a handkerchief ...sobbed with the younger Korean Prez trying his best to hide his tears....and promised, "West Germany will help Korea. We'll help you. Our people will help your country
(Prez Lubke was the only LEADER in his time that lent a hand to Korea. Truman and JFK placed European Causes before Korea. After WW2, US gave financial aid to Germany and Greece to rebuild after the war. Korea was refused financial loan from US and was even told by JFK to not seek elsewhere for financial assitance. Yet, Prez Lubke had the compassion to help S.Korea when all shoulders around the globe were turned)
05:35 Modernization of Korea was
05:45 initiated by the sacrifices and tears of these nurses and miners
05:52 Sending troops to Vietnam war was being the catalyst to accelerate economic development
(US encouraged S.Korea to send troops to Vietnam. There are Truman confessions that Korea was used as testing grounds of its weapons used in Vietnam...The salary paid to Korean Soldiers participating in Vietnam went to S.Korean government in Industrialization financing of its factories, highways; ironic that rural area Korean residents were homeless without health-monetary-welfare the country so focused on its rebuilding efforts...Prez Park was a visionary...the country did modernize but at the slaved-uncompensated-forgotten sweats and labors of its citizens...even the Prez Park and its successors are merely puppets of the US and Japan behind screen 'for-show' efforts of help..."ex. Prez Truman after the June25,1950
Korean War reprimanded Korean Prez Rhee asking for Military Equipt to arm Korean Troops...Truman replied- it is on its way...in Europe, there are many who have had to wait more than the 48hours you have had ...have courage...do what you can...learn from those who had it worse in Europe..." Such a cold-reassurance from Truman...the one who set Pearl Harbor example to Atomic Bomb Japan without a hesitation...easier to preach when it is not your own people murdered--ill-equipped...see photos and compare the American Soldier next to the Korean Soldier; the contrast in appropriate uniform/weapon between US Military solely in Korea to be of help...where McArthur is FIRED from Korean War as he was winning the resistance to Soviet occupation of North Korean territory...how unspokenly US keeps Korea seperated...North Korea for the Soviet use of free labor access of its N.Korean citizens to Russia...South Korea for the US territory disguised as US Military occupation existant to protect S.Korea from N.Korean invasion...1972 Kim-IlSung is documented to have told US at DMZ talks of peaceful reunification...to which US kept silent ...Japanese initially enslaved Korea in 1910 after gaining US agreement...then Atomic Bombing made Japan leave Korea- not without murdering as many as possible of Koreans to hide Japanese war crimes committed between 1910-1950...even after Korean War, Japan with US (US gained scientific research conducted by Japanese Military Scientists the human-tested ; done on Koreans and Chinese; bio-weapon secrets)...Japan by US's protection- left Korean Peninsula in 1950 but never compensated its victims and discouraged internationally for Korea to gain financial loans to rebuild its country...Japan gains free labor and control of Korean economy while US gains territorial rights of S.Korea by keeping the North and South Korea seperated....this is the same repeat of history shown by Hawaii's annexation to US...
(travelling back in time...Chinese were the first to arrive in Hawaii...worked and married
Hawaiian locals- peacefully co-existing with King of Hawaii...then Japanese arrived
in the Hawaiian islands...Sugar and Pineapple plantations grew needing more workers from
China, Japan, and Philipines....then US Missionaries arrived and just settled in Hawaii.
Next came the US Military stationing at Pearl Harbor...an agreement of exporting
sugar to US for allowing US Navy to keep docks at Pearl Harbor. And
the US missionaries just placing themselves in Hawaiian
government. When Hawaiian King refused to renew its bartering agreement
with the US; some years later, King of Hawaii dies on his trip to San Francisco.
More unrest---times pass where US keeps permanency at Pearl Harbor.
Uninvited by the Local Hawaiians, ofcourse. Then the Japanese
do send its military to Hawaii when US tried to dethrone Hawaiian Government. Japanese
government showing support of the Hawaiian Government. Surprising US -when US feared
Japanese disagreeing with any US politics...So not surprising that later in history- Truman
allows Japanese bombing of the oldest US ship - rising the American lives like that of the
three Sullivan brothers-one mother losing all three sons in one attack; that Truman immediately
uses Atomic Bomb (ignoring Japanese request for peaceful surrender); teaching the Japanese
to unarm...while US gives Japan hidden control over Korean economy...in exchange US gets
territorial rights to keep US Military in S. Korea for free....so in Hawaii...eventually,
Hawaiian Gov't is overthrown by US...made to annex to US...to which "Akaka Bill"
by Chinese-Hawaiian Politician is trying to pass into a BILL giving
retribution to local Hawaiians before Hawaii's unethical overthrow of Hawaiian
Monarchy...the last living Hawaiian Mocharchy Princess set up a trust fund to educate
local Hawaiian descendents in Hawaii.....the exclusive K-12 College Prep Private School
set up in its campus's APPLICATION for enrollment recently was sued by US Courts
costing settlement out-of-court by $7million to two hopeful non-Hawaiian applicants....
The misuse of wordings in the legal jargon works for US Gov't as they dethroned
Hawaiian Monarchy- yet, same legal jargon tries to prevent "CONTINUING" legacy
of Hawaiian Monarchy's dying request to enroll Hawaiian-decendents and to
employ those of "non-catholic" Protestant religion believers on operating its K-12 Private
College-Prep Educational Facility.... The Japanese Government played a role in
Hawaii as it required Japanese citizens to attend Japanese-Operated-Japanese
schools while living abroad so that American lifestyle doesn't influence its people, etc...
All in the history that some are told not to speak of...not to verbalize...for it to die out....silently...
....unspoken....
06:00 Expressways could be constructed with the help of sent soldiers' combat allowance
( You see, the Korean Troops were sent to Vietnam that Truman started...US
nudged Korea to send Koreans to Vietnam....and then the Korean troops showed
their innocent patriotism by agreeing to their combat allowance be used toward rebuilding
Korean economy...ironically, there were no VA Benefits existing for US Military Servicemen
for Korean Veterans...Korean Government ; much of its taxes disappeared to the use of Japanese
unknowns; the Korean Veterans got zero opportunity after returning from wars demanded of their
patriotic duties- no medical benefits- no education- no housing-no income benefits to Korean Vets
nor of Korean citizens victimized-enslaved before, during, after the Korean War...such is the story
unspoken of the Korean citizens...born into the world they did not choose....borne
to be enslaved, violated, abused for generations without ever sinning...assasinated
if going against US-Japanese-Communist Russia...how much longer for innocent born
into the CULTURE-Country puppeted by non-Koreans... how is this saga to unfold in
its final chapters....
* those with heart and compassion thru this BLOG will one person sooner
and one day sooner try to right the wrongs of the past......)
06:07 and there were being the artery of our country
06:14 Construction workers dispatched to desserts in middle east made extensive efforts to earn more dollars in every day and night.
06:22 Young girls worked hard in wig- sewing- fabric-shoe factories producing exports
; paid little in comparison to overworked hours of work; while they ate instant ramen costing less than rice; trying to scrape up savings to afford expensive tuition for their youngsters' tuition (investing in education that was prohibited during their generation may in hope come available for the future generations).
* Another example of war crimes; listing non-educational opportunities for Koreans, selling
Korean women to US Military that depletes Korean heritage thru increase in multicultural
offsprings where less Korean women marry Korean men... The deadliest war crime
invisible to the Non-Informed are that Korean Peninsula and its citizens will
die out; War Victims for three generations in North Korea have faced Jewish-Equivalent
concentration camp starvation and unpaid labor-torture-abuse no human being is subject to endure...
The North Korean Dictator is fed "financial luxury" to turn a blind eye to his evil dictatorship
by Communist Russians having free reign and access to N.Korean citizens....the South Koreans
are without knowledge "US Property" much like "Hawaii-became US Territory" - Japanese
citizens from history forth have gotten EUROPEAN-EQUAL Rights not given to
Chinese nor Koreans......even a Japanese Emperor of early 1800's is quoted in stating
that he kept the Japanese citizens in Japan for couple of reasons; 1. He noted
how Chinese immigrants to US were treated less to the European descendents as when
they worked in the railroad constructions...how Chinatown started due to increased
abuse by European settlers jealous of Chinese immigrants (forgetting that all are immigrants
seeking income in AMERICA...)
2. Japanese Emperor of 1800's also didn't want Westerners to
see that the Japanese were less skilled than Westerners- so kept a ban
of Japanese from leaving...there are records where Japanese
seeking opportunities were never allowed to return to Japan for generations.
Japanese immigrants in Philipines, South American, Europe, Russia...
Ironically, Japanese Government in 1970's-1980's recruited
those same banned Japanese abroad to return to Japan when Japan
needed cheaper labor for "difficult-dangerous-dirty" jobs- offering
approximately Three thousand dollars for one to return with a bonus
of additional two thousand dollars for members of the family....Even more appalling
fact of the matter in history was the same Japanese Government tried
to find solution to HIGH Unemployment Crisis by deporting the same
overseas Japanese to get out of Japan -to not return- paying them to leave....Yikes.
As shown in history - not fiction ; true story in HISTORY tells that at least
in comparison to JAPAN-CHINA-KOREA; Japan does pay its people. Japan does
like US and European Countries place value into the lives of its nationals....Lacking are
Chinese and Korean government readily abandoning its nationals ...not placing value
in its citizens...hopefully from 2013 and into the future - every human being
regardless of one's origin of country , skin color, race, economic background,disabilities
; that every human being born are not superior but equal to one another.
Practicing such visually and even when not watched; the practice
of human equality is the MISSION of this BLOG's existance.
Those who are "enlightened" can ignore the contents of this blog....yet, those who
require "knowledge" in order to stop "abusing"-"bullying" can be educated
one day - one person at a time thru the messages contained in this blog .
06:33 and we eventually archived democracy
06:50 Year 1950 and 50 years later, My country, Korea has
06:56 World's 3rd largest Construction Industry
07:01 World's 5th highest rate of Nuclear energy power plant use
07:04 World's 5th Steel product Industry
07:12 World's 1st Shipbuilding Industry
07:18 World's 12th largest export and import business
World's 4th most foreign currency holder
07:25 World's 1st spread rate of personal computers
World's 1st spread rate of broadband communication infrastructure
World's 1st IT infrastructure of Schools and
World's 1st rate of Digital opportunities
07:33 Do you believe the existence of Miracles?
07:37 I would love to tell you it is the miracle
07:44 Someone often ask
07:49 why Koreans are so proud of their unity nation and place hugh importance on the patriotism.
08:00 Rather, I want to ask them
08:05 how you are not proud of this country
08:12 Just overcoming the poverty can't be the answer
08:20 In Korea and our hearts, there has been 'noble spirit' representing our hopes which the painful history along our blood vessels never happens again to others
08:28 Our today can exist on the basis of such noble spirit in Korea
08:38 Now, we promise that we will hand over a good country to our sons and daughters
08:46 we will give you the country worthy to be proud of as well
--------------
*The context in which a message is trying to be sent is that those sons and daughters
born to War Crime Victims from a VICTIMIZED COUNTRY have persevered unimaginable
victimization to have come this far in 2013...to be equally treated if one was to be born to JFK household
for example....Yet, the spirit and sacrifices made by the victims from a country called KOREA is to be
applauded as its display of COURAGE, Patriotism, Self-Sacrifice for the good of others, hard-work ethic,
Placing value in education, placing value in family, placing value in culture, placing value
in choosing the Right over Wrong, facing victimization silently yet PERseVERENCE driving
one's soul to ACHIEVE in face of atrocity....SUch are the message of sons and daughters
of mothers and fathers from a country named, KOREA.
**Next time one sees/meets another individual of different race/background; Could one
display a GENUINE smile of kindness?
What would that gesture cost? Well...not a cent...Yet, one can gain "priceless" return of "self-gratification"
gained from doing "good". Yes, keeping mute, nonchalant, expression-less...just practicing
avoidance due to one's own discomfort IS in itself an ACT.

Clip to view; Portrays Korean Anchor/TV Personality (much like David Letterman of S.Korea)
Mr. Kim sharing his visit to West Germany. At the concert
held in West Germany ( Aug2013), he shares of Korean Sisters reuniting
after 39years apart...Bittersweet in that the Mother of
two sisters passed away without ever reuniting with her youngest.
The youngest daughter at age twenty left for West Germany
in hopes to return in three years time having earned a salary
needed to buy her mother a house.
The mother waited the fourth year...fifth year...
sixth...seventh...eighth...nineth...tenth year
without a news from her youngest daughter....
passed away on the tenth year without a reunion....
