the scene in order to maintain then left-wing government in the Korean Peninsula.
When this black street movement started to get momentum nationwide, COVID 19
regulations stepped in. Obviously, the COVID policies of Moon’s administration in
Korea were tainted by many dishonest considerations and deceptions. Very strong
COVID regulations were taken to prevent more citizens participating in the
demonstrations and blame spread of the virus was put on the street protesters and
organizers of such meetings.
Then, how was it possible for the Supreme Court to reject election fraud claims in
such an irresponsible manner? Under the national election management system in
Korea, one of justices of the Supreme Court becomes the chairperson of the National
Election Commission and Election Commissioners of local districts are all incumbent
judges. Given this interest-sharing system between courts and election commissions,
any courts dealing with election fraud claims will be likely put under enormous
pressure not to investigate the allegations thoroughly, not to mention against
accepting the claims.
IT technology is good and evil depending on how humans use it. That is why
particularly Korea and the United States are vulnerable, and will be more vulnerable,
to such evil technology. In October 2023, a security audit of the National Election
Commission’s servers by the National Intelligence Service of Korea (NIS) indicated
that they were so vulnerable that they could be manipulated by hackers. In the next
month, the Chief of NIS was replaced together with his deputies.
Top-notch verification and full transparency are only the insurance mechanism
unless we change the entire system to a manual voting and counting system even in
virus-spreading situations.
The current president of Korea who was elected by a very small margin, less than
0.7%, despite his popularity, is living proof of how vulnerable the Korean digital
election system still is to election fraud attempts. Honesty in the modern democracy
of Korea is in peril. During the past seven years under the dishonest public sectors in
Korea, freedom fighters appeared in every corner in Korea. They are housewives,
students, salaried people, professors, retired public officials, high school alumni, and
their children. Their mouths and hands have kept the precious light of truth and
principles in front of the quiet terror of political and judicial power spreading like a
virus. These Korean people should feel proud of themselves in participating in the
war between honesty and digital fascism spreading through the Korean IT
technology. What better warfare can an individual human being engage in during a
lifetime? Honest citizens in the world should proudly join it before it is too late.
