On December 3rd last year, President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law. Subsequently, through the arrest and detention of the president by insurrectionists, impeachment, and early elections, the Lee Jae-myung administration came into power. And now, one year later, it is the first anniversary of the martial law declaration. 

On the first anniversary of martial law, not only from the ruling party but also from within the People Power Party, there were persistent calls for an apology. Eventually, 25 People Power Party lawmakers, including Kim Jae-seop and Kim Yong-tae, issued a public apology. 

Meanwhile, on the first anniversary of the December 3rd martial law declaration, President Yoon Suk-yeol released a message from prison stating, "Please join in showing a 'red card' to the unjust and corrupt dictatorial regime that tramples on the people." 

Young people in their 10s, 20s, and 30s held rallies and marches in the streets to commemorate "Enlightenment Day." Cheers of "Yoon Again," "CCP Out," and "Crush Election Fraud" were heard from various locations. Most importantly, they declared the June 3rd general election to be fraudulent and asserted that Lee Jae-myung, who seized power through this fraudulent election, is a "fake" and cannot be recognized as president.

However, currently, even among the majority of conservatives, any mention of election fraud is dismissed as a "conspiracy theory," and speaking of election fraud immediately labels one as "far-right." While there is overwhelming evidence of election fraud, there is a pervasive atmosphere of silence. Yet, the perspective from outside Korea is different; it is a world where objective judgments based on facts are permitted.

On the first anniversary of martial law, U.S. President Donald Trump finally pulled the trigger. 

He shared a list of "election fraud cartel countries" worldwide, including South Korea, through his social media platform, Truth Social. President Trump pointed out that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), funded by U.S. taxes, has been involved in election fraud globally and named Canada, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, and "Korea" as countries where election fraud occurred. President Trump exposed South Korea as an election fraud cartel country.

But the timing is peculiar. Why now, of all times? Mentioning South Korea as an election fraud cartel country to coincide with the first anniversary of martial law carries a grave warning message in its very timing. It's not just the anniversary of martial law. Korea was named at a time when the reality of the global election fraud cartel is being exposed ahead of military operations in Venezuela. 

This signifies that the Trump administration is fully aware of all aspects of election fraud in South Korea. The moment the Smartmatic and Dominion source codes are secured while dismantling the Maduro regime in Venezuela, the link to South Korea's National Election Commission is bound to be revealed. 

Kash Patel, a key figure in exposing election fraud in the United States, is a former official in the FBI. Kash Patel uncovered the manipulation of Dominion voting machine algorithms, statistical anomalies in the surge of late-night votes, and the massive fraud in mail-in ballots. He is now actively investigating the international election fraud network. The moment the reality of the electronic voting machines deployed globally by USAID through South Korea's Association of World Election Bodies (A-WEB) certification is revealed, South Korea will be unable to escape the investigation. 

USAID plays a pivotal role in the global election fraud cartel. Under the guise of promoting democracy, the agency has been distributing election systems to developing countries. However, these systems were electronic voting machines certified by South Korea's A-WEB. The Korean-style electronic voting machine system developed by South Korea's National Election Commission was exported to Venezuela, Bolivia, and Honduras. 

USAID, funded by U.S. taxpayer money, was involved in the election fraud cartel, supporting left-wing candidates in elections across various countries. In essence, it was a system designed to create left-wing regimes worldwide with American money.

This is why Elon Musk decided to abolish USAID. He severed the system that was funding global election fraud with U.S. taxpayer money. And Trump is dismantling this network, starting with Venezuela. When the Maduro regime collapses, the Smartmatic servers will be secured, and data connecting to Korea will emerge from them. Undeniable evidence showing that the statistical anomalies in the 2020 and 2024 general elections originated from the same algorithm will also come to light.

What is interesting is Lee Jae-myung's reaction. 

As the Trump administration vowed to pour all its energy into eradicating election fraud, Lee Jae-myung abruptly went to South Africa and clamored for electronic voting. When President Trump stated that Texas conducts 100% paper voting, Lee suddenly became agitated, questioning where the election fraud is. As the vote counting in Honduras was suspended and President Trump applied pressure, Lee resorted to sophistry, questioning the connection between China and election fraud. This agitated reaction and foaming at the mouth are signs of the timid Lee Jae-myung's survival instincts kicking in.

Despite being labeled conspiracy theorists and far-right, the free right-wing citizens have continuously urged:

"Disclose the National Election Commission servers." "Disclose the A-WEB source code." "Recount the ballots from the 2020 and 2024 elections."

However, there was silence and complete disregard. But why? 

Why did the Constitutional Court reject all evidence submissions against the National Election Commission? Why were the lawsuits challenging the validity of the 2024 general election dismissed, with the exception of one in Yangsan? Why is a system with the password "12345" being left as is? Why has there been no investigation into the fact that the internal and external networks were not separated during the early voting period, as admitted by the Secretary-General? 

The Democratic Party, the National Election Commission, and the mainstream media have consistently dismissed these voices as conspiracy theories, socially ostracizing, arresting, and intimidating those who demand election verification. But why the extreme frenzy and agitation? The answer is obvious: if they are caught, it's the end of them. 

The moment President Trump plays the Venezuela card, the election fraud dominoes are bound to fall. Honduras will collapse, Bolivia will undergo a reinvestigation, and eventually, the investigation net will extend to Korea. Soon, an internationally coordinated investigation into South Korea will commence, initiated by the United States. 

Do you understand now why Lee Jae-myung is only looking at China's reaction, even as the exchange rate is skyrocketing wildly? It is because Lee Jae-myung and China are the ultimate beneficiaries of this election fraud network.

President Trump's mention of South Korea precisely on the first anniversary of martial law is a clear warning. The lifeline of those who have gained political advantage through election fraud, stolen national sovereignty, and committed election theft is running out. Once the military operation in Venezuela is concluded, you will be next. The Democratic Party and Lee Jae-myung, prepare yourselves.
