Is Biden hiding how and why martial law was declared on South Korea?
30 December 2024, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
On December 3rd, Toronto’s The Globe and Mail headlined “South Korea’s President declares martial law, accuses opposition of anti-state activities”, and later that day headlined “South Korean parliament votes to defy president by lifting his declaration of martial law”; but, since then, the crisis has only gotten worse, and will certainly need South Korea’s U.S.-controlled Constitution to be changed. As Hanjoo Lee pointed out on page 262 in the “CONCLUSION” to his Spring 2007 Ph.D thesis, The Major Influences of the U.S. Constitutional Law Doctrines on the Interpretation and Application of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea: Critical Analysis on the Current Constitutional Court's Decisions and Thoughts of the Necessity of Amendment of the Current Constitution of the Republic of Korea, “The Korean experience aptly shows that political changes precede legal changes. [This profound principle means that before there is even a Constitution, there is politics and political power — the decisions that were made by the individuals who held political power. A constitution doesn’t come from nowhere and no one, but from the possessors of political power, who actually shaped it.] … Cold war ideology based on a zero-sum mentality is outdated. These trends demand new ways of thinking.” Though veiled (for example, his “zero-sum” was a powerful condemnation of America’s demands for South Korea to be even more intensely anti-North-Korea and anti-China and anti-Russia than it is), his implication was clear, that South Korea must break out of the empire of which is a part (a colony), the U.S. empire, before it can TRULY become a democracy. Now, nearly 18 years later, Lee’s analysis is being proven to have been prophetic.
For the rest of this commentary (supporting though not mentioning that analysis), I refer the reader to the beyond-brilliant 12-minute commentary and analysis by Alexander Mercouris on December 30th — thus far circumstantial, but I expect that it will ultimately turn out to have been correct — that the attempted coup in Seoul on December 3rd originated in the U.S. White House:

“South Korea political crisis deepens”
Articles 111(2) & (3), 112 (2), and 113 (1), are the relevant provisions of South Korea’s Constitution that Mercouris is referring to as providing the basis for this impasse. (A technique of controlling a colony is to encourage it to employ poor constructions with indefinite meanings in its Constitution, so that enough legislators can be cheaply bought off to vote in the way that the imperial Government — nowadays the U.S. — will be ‘recommending’.)
To individuals who consider Biden too stupid to think enough to initiate a coup, I would point out that Biden has always believed what he wants to believe, and that his White House team have carried out his foreign policies, and that anyone who wouldn’t, wouldn’t still be on his team. And part of that understanding by Biden was reflected on 5 July 2024 when he said in an interview, “I am running the world.” He immediately denied that that statement was mere “hyperbole.” Furthermore, though the public don’t know it, the U.S. Government — that the U.S. President directs — is actually spending 65% of all of the world’s, all 200 nations are, spending on the military. He knows it, even if you don’t. And the U.S. has 900 foreign military bases (in addition to the 749 inside the U.S.). Biden might not be particularly intelligent, but he knows these things, which the public don’t know. Yes, he is driven by wishful thinking (he has always been a neocon), but in addition to it are a lot of facts that he knows and that the public don’t know — and his decisions as the President don’t result ONLY from his wishful thinking. Hitler was like that, too. And he too was no “weak dictator”. Quite the contrary. To be extraordinarily powerful doesn’t require one to be extraordinarily intelligent. Biden isn’t extraordinary in any way, except that he has been consistently moving the U.S. and its colonies (‘allies’) closer to a WW3 (against Russia and against China) that would end the world — but even this has been normal for U.S. Presidents after FDR died. And FDR was a genius who intended — and since 1941 had been carefully planning — the exact opposite. As soon as JFK concluded on his own, that FDR’s view had been correct, he was assassinated. No subsequent U.S. President has had any such intention — they’ve all followed in line with Truman’s aim to take over the entire world.
The basic decision that Trump will have to make will be whether he will take on the risk that JFK took. If he won’t, then I would consider WW3 to be the almost inevitable result.
PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding — what the ‘news’-media ignore if they can, and deny if they must. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
