From Warmongers to Shamans: The Surprising World of Plastic Surgery!
December 2024 will undoubtedly etch its mark in South Korea’s history, a month characterized by the swift dismantling of President Yoon Suk Yeol’s martial law decree and his subsequent impeachment. Yet, if the allegations surrounding his alleged self-coup hold any truth, they will undoubtedly transform the narrative of Yoon’s leadership from merely controversial to outright alarming. These claims unveil a leader who not only endangered democracy but also jeopardized national security in a desperate bid to push his stalled initiatives forward.
The pressing question now faces the Constitutional Court: Did Yoon attempt an insurrection to silence dissent and assume unchecked power? If any part of these allegations resonates with reality, we must ask ourselves – can a person of such questionable morals and ethics remain in a position of authority?
Opposition lawmakers and investigators are unraveling a troubling tapestry of conspiracy, suggesting that Yoon and his allies sought to provoke North Korea into an attack, creating a pretext for martial law. This sinister plot reportedly included military provocations designed to elicit a dramatic response from the North, instilling fear in the South to facilitate acceptance of martial law.
One shocking episode involved an order from former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun to strike the launch site of balloons laden with trash that North Korea supposedly sent over. However, Adm. Kim Myung-soo, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, quashed the directive, fearing it could trigger “a limited war, causing civilian casualties,” investigators report.
Keenly, Kim Yong-hyun is also linked to an operation involving drones sent into North Korean airspace. In mid-October, North Korea claimed to have recovered remnants of unmanned aerial vehicles disseminating anti-Pyongyang leaflets within its capital. In retaliation, the North severed vital road and rail connections with the South, raising tensions to a boiling point. Kim Yong-hyun was arrested on December 8, facing charges of endorsing the martial law order and deploying troops to barricade lawmakers from parliament. Coincidentally, a military warehouse housing drones and launchers mysteriously caught fire on the same day, with its cause still shrouded in mystery.
Another key player, Noh Sang-won, a retired defense intelligence commander, finds himself under investigation. Along with officers from the Defense Intelligence Command, he was reportedly spotted at a hamburger joint. Investigators are scrutinizing Noh’s notebook, which allegedly contains plans for a false flag operation aimed at provoking an attack by North Korea along the Northern Limit Line, a crucial flashpoint in inter-Korean relations.
The so-called “Baengnyeongdo Operation” supposedly detailed the assassination of 16 political figures aboard a vessel bound for an island near the NLL. The plan entailed a covert assault by an unidentified boat, pinning the blame on North Korea, which would justify retaliatory actions and potentially trigger a crisis that could justify martial law.
Although investigators have not yet confirmed any direct ties between Noh’s notes and Yoon’s martial law decree, they intriguingly coincide with claims from opposition lawmaker Kim Byung-joo. He alleges that 20 members of the Headquarters of Intelligence Detachment unit were allegedly “on standby at a location in Seoul” on the night of December 3, when Yoon issued his martial law order. This unit is typically deployed to the DMZ for operations in North Korea.
Kim, a former Army four-star general, has cited anonymous military sources indicating that the HID unit was prepared to instigate disturbances at the National Election Commission the following day. Yoon justified his martial law order primarily to investigate rumors of electoral rigging in the upcoming parliamentary elections, rumored to favor the opposition.
The narrative twists further, with another alleged conspiracy emerging. During a National Assembly hearing on December 13, YouTube journalist Kim Ou-joon testified about a tip regarding an “assassination squad.” This squad was purportedly tasked with eliminating Han Dong-hoon, then-leader of the ruling People Power Party, and U.S. soldiers, while burying North Korean military uniforms at a predetermined site to “discover” them later, attributing the killings to North Korea.
While Kim admitted his information had yet to be “fully verified,” he faced pressure regarding his source, which he described as “an ally with an embassy in Seoul.” The U.S. Embassy in Seoul denied being the source of the information. However, U.S. Representative Brad Sherman (D-California) remarked during an interview that if South Korean military forces had executed a false flag operation, the U.S. would have been aware of it, and “I would hope the public knows the truth, too.”
One might expect Pyongyang to capitalize on these allegations to depict the South as the aggressor, yet they remain curiously quiet.
Adding a bizarre twist, Noh was discovered to be running a fortune-telling venture under the alias “Baby Bodhisattva.” This revelation raises eyebrows, suggesting that he may be entwined in an unofficial network associated with first lady Kim Keon Hee, who is known for her own fascination with fortune-telling.
Interestingly, Kim reportedly made a three-hour visit to her preferred plastic surgery clinic on the evening of December 3, with the purpose of the visit remaining unknown. Rumors abound that she aimed to “look prettier before her gods” at this critical juncture. All said and done, it’s clear that the sooner she and her husband awaken from their delusion of maintaining power, the better it will be for the nation.
