INTRIGUE IN IRAN: U.S./Israel Murder Iranian Nuclear Scientist...

"The People's Republic of Korea (PRK) was a short-lived provisional government organized to take over control of Korea after the Surrender of Japan at the end of the Pacific War. It operated as the government in late August and early September 1945 until the United States Army Military Government in Korea was established by the United States. After that it operated unofficially, and in opposition to the United States Military Government, until it was forcibly dissolved in January 1946."

People's Republic of Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your irrational obsequiousness toward the greatest purveyor of violence on the face of the planet today blinds you to historical reality.

It was organized by whom? Not by the majority of the Korean people because that could only happen through free and fair elections and the Soviets refused to allow that to happen in the North. In fact, these people had no legitimate claim to organize a government for Korea and when they did run for office in the 1948 UN monitored elections the Korean people rejected them.

By August of 1945, after 35 years of Japanese rule, the majority of Korean people had their own plans for the future of Korea, and it isn't likely re-occupation by foreign forces ranked high on any Korean's list.

General Abe Nobuyuki was the last Japanese Governor-General of Korea, and he had been in contact with with numerous influential Koreans since the beginning of August to transfer power to the Koreans.

On August 15, 1945, Lyuh Woon Hyung, "a moderate left wing politician, agreed to take over."

"He was in charge of preparing the creation of a new country and worked hard to build governmental structures. On September 6, 1945, a congress of representatives was convened in Seoul.

"The foundation of a modern Korean state took place just three weeks after Japan's capitulation.

"The government was predominantly left wing; many of those who had resisted Japanese rule identified with Communism's views on imperialism and colonialism."

According to his Wiki entry, Yuh "is rare among politicians in modern Korean history in that he is revered in both South and North Korea."

So your point is that a Japanese colonial official appointed the people who formed the Korean People's Party and that made it legitimate? You believe Japanese colonial officials know what's best for the Korea people and a small group of political activists know what's best for the Korean people and Soviet colonial officials who installed the North Korean government and installed Kim Il-Sung, a virtual illiterate in the Korean language who spoke Korean with a heavy Chinese accent and had to have Soviet advisers write his speeches and teach him how to deliver them and invent a biography for him and help him turn the North Korean government into one of the most repressive in the world and a monarchy in all but name, know what's best for the Korean people, but the only people you don't trust to decide what's best for them is the Korean people when they go to the polls to elect their government.

The difference between us is that you trust dictatorships and political elitists to decide what's best for people and I trust the people to decide for themselves through democratic processes what's best for themselves. The US helped the South Korean people in their struggles through difficult times to establish the democratic institutions they enjoy today and the Soviets, apparently with your blessing prevented the North Korean people from ever having any control over their own government, over their own lives.

Who is speaking for Arab countries? Even if you could show some Arab saying he doesn't want Iran to have "nukes" it is not his decision. It is Iran's decision to decide what is best for their security and I don't blame them with warmongering Israel threating to attack Iran.

Western Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

What if the "warmongering" Israel does is designed to protect itself against Iranians getting the first crack at them through terror? Israel would find itself unable to respond because of Iran's nukes. Since the surrounding peoples have been in unremitting war against Israel from the get-go Israel clearly has the right to preserve it's ability to respond.

Never again will the Jews render themselves helpless.

Millions of Koreans from south to north made it perfectly clear in August of 1945 they wanted no part of any new foreign occupation. A single US General overruled their wishes. You may call that "freedom"; I don't.

For all the millions of human beings that Stalin and Mao killed, they didn't commit their crimes on the opposite side of the globe from their homeland.

That distinction belongs to the greatest purveyor of violence on this planet.

Not millions of people but just a few Koreans political activists who, as you pointed out, conspired with Japanese colonial officials to try to take over the government without allowing free elections. Thanks to the US, millions of Koreans in the South had the opportunity to choose their own government, and thanks to the Soviets and Chinese the millions of Koreans in the North never did get that opportunity.

The US traveled thousands of miles to liberate the Asian countries the Japanese had captured and the European countries the Germans had captured, and after liberating Korea, the US kept the South free from Soviet domination. All of the countries the US occupied after the war quickly became independent democracies and all the countries that fell to the Soviets or the Chinese became Stalinist slave states.

'Perpetual War for perpetual Peace.' That's our wonderful vicious circle Foreign Policy. We need more War so we can have more Peace. Makes perfect sense no? It's kind of like Big Brother claiming he has to take your rights away so he can protect them. It's all just a sad scam. And the American People are the dupes. The Global Elite and Military Industrial Complex have us exactly where they want us...In a permanent state of War.

"Soviet forces arrived in Korea first, but occupied only the northern half, stopping at the 38th parallel, per the agreement with the United States.

"On August 10, 1945 two young officers – Dean Rusk and Charles Bonesteel – were assigned to define an American occupation zone. Working at extremely short notice and completely unprepared, they used a National Geographic map to decide on the 38th parallel.

"They chose it because it divided the country approximately in half but would leave the capital Seoul under American control. No experts on Korea were consulted.

"The two men were unaware that forty years previous, Japan and Russia had discussed sharing Korea along the same parallel.

"Rusk later said that had he known, he 'almost surely' would have chosen a different line.[6] Regardless, the decision was hastily written into General Order No. 1 for the administration of postwar Japan."

Millions of Koreans from the north and south who didn't have a subscription to National Geographic already knew there was only one Korea. They also knew how to implement free and fair elections without any help from racist Americans whose first concern was Empire.

I think it's at least as likely Kim and Yuh would have been allies:

"Like many in the Korean independence movement, Yuh sought aid from both right and left.

"In 1920, he joined the Koryǒ Communist Party (고려 공산당, Goryeo Gongsandang) and, in 1921, attended the First Congress of the Toilers of the Far East in Moscow. In 1924 he joined Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Nationalist Party and worked for Sino-Korean cooperation.

"In 1929, he was arrested by the British police for criticizing Britain’s colonial policy and handed over to the Japanese for imprisonment in Korea."
