Communists Threaten South Korea From Within

If you want to see what it might take to save America from communism, look to South Korea, where a brave conservative president has just declared martial law and has ordered patriotic soldiers to identify and detain the enemies within. South Korea faces Communist North Korea, backed by Russia and China, and communist sympathizers in the National Assembly, or Congress.

At this point it is not clear if the South Korean president can save his country from a communist takeover. He needs outside support – and fast. Reports indicate that Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun advised President Yoon Suk Yeol to make the declaration of martial law.

The question America is facing is whether the military top brass have sufficient integrity to confront the enemies within, if President Trump orders them to.

In South Korea, President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law for the first time in 44 years as the domestic dangers increased and the global situation deteriorated. “Any act that denies or attempts to overthrow the liberal democratic system is prohibited, and fake news, the manipulation of public opinion and false propaganda are banned,” his declaration declared.

This courageous president is naming the enemy as “pro-North Korean anti-state forces” and attempting to put down an internal communist coup. He is a conservative pro-American president but the National Assembly is under the control of left-wing opposition forces under communist influence.

Referring to actions taken by the National Assembly, the president said, “This is clearly an act of inciting internal rebellion by trampling the constitutional order of the free Republic of Korea and disrupting legitimate state institutions established by the Constitution and law.”

He added that “our National Assembly has become a den of criminals, paralyzing the nation’s judicial and administrative systems through legislative dictatorship and planning for the overthrow of our liberal democratic system. The National Assembly, which should be the foundation of liberal democracy, has become a monster trying to destroy it.”

He declared martial law “to protect the Republic of Korea from the threats of North Korean communist forces, to immediately eradicate the unscrupulous pro-Pyongyang anti-state forces that pillage the freedom and happiness of our people and to protect free constitutional order.” He explained that, “Through this emergency martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into ruin.”

It appears to this observer that Trump should skip a scheduled tour of Notre Dame Cathedral in France this Saturday and exercise his presidential powers now, with “President” Biden in Africa making business deals on behalf of his pardoned son Hunter in Communist Angola. An AWOL president must be replaced now, with the “president-elect” who is already acting presidential and ready and able to assume power.

Trump must act before the North unleashes a nuclear blitzkrieg and destroys another American ally.

At the same time, Trump should give his nominee for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) the boot, for Tulsi Gabbard, as Trevor Loudon documents, has multiple North Korean connections that make her unfit for such a top post.

As Trevor and I discuss in our Rumble broadcast, she has too many communist connections and should never have been considered, let alone nominated, for that position.

This is a time for American leadership and peace through strength. It’s clear that Sleepy Joe is in no condition to function as president.

The same South Korean president addressed our own Congress more than a year ago, noting that in 1950, the Korean Peninsula was on the front line. He said, “The Soviet Union helped to rearm North Korea. North Korea’s surprise attack threatened the peace on the Korean Peninsula and Asia. Korea’s freedom and democracy were on the brink. At that decisive moment, the U.S. did not look the other way. Korean and American soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder and fought bravely. Tales of our heroes were written. General [Douglas] MacArthur caught the enemy off guard with the landing of Incheon and turned the tide of the war. Operation Chromite was one of the greatest decisions ever made in the history of war. The U.S. 1st Marine Division miraculously broke through a wave of 120,000 Chinese troops at the Battle of Lake Changjin.”

He noted that sons and daughters of America sacrificed their lives to “defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.”

In the book, Revitalizing a Nation, featuring General Douglas MacArthur’s speeches and pronouncements, he talked about America’s problem, which is the same as South Korea’s, identifying the “insidious forces working from within” that are “allied with the scourge of imperialistic Communism.”

This is now what is happening to South Korea and the United States.

Unlike Sleepy Joe, the communists never sleep.

If President Harry Truman had listened to General MacArthur, who wanted to take the fight to the mainland of Communist China, there would not be a Communist China or North Korea today. But Truman fired MacArthur.

These hours and days are critical. President Trump badly mishandled North Korea during his first term, when he met with the Communist dictator Kim and got tricked. So-called “Chairman” Kim wanted American money in exchange for putting a few nuclear missiles on the shelf. Trump finally recognized it wasn’t a good deal.

The problem has always been Kim’s backers in China and Russia. Communism is the problem. Communism is the enemy.

Today, Trump should forthrightly declare his support for South Korea and its anti-communist president before it is too late.

Once he is in power, he should court-martial former Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley, who defended Marxist indoctrination of our soldiers and presided over a force that welcomed transgenders and presided over the debacle in Afghanistan.

What is more, in actions that were clearly designed to subvert the first Trump presidency and undermine the chain of command, it was revealed Milley made secret calls to Communist Chinese officials during the final days of the Trump Administration, supposedly out of alleged concern that Trump would attack China. He also assured Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi that the military would resist certain orders from President Trump and “prevent” unwarranted Trump’s use of the military “domestically and/or internationally.”

Daniel D. New wrote that General Milley should be court-martialed, reduced in rank, and sent to prison in Leavenworth.

This sounds harsh, but if drastic actions like this are not taken by the new president, America could easily end up as South Korea is today, in danger of falling into the grip of the enemies within.
