We cannot but recognize the dismal tide of this times in which the Republic of Korea has been put in the simmering heated melting pot with ‘Kimmuseongsm’ although it should take a step forward as the regime of Park Geun-hye has taken office after the 18th presidential election held on December 19, 2012 was finished.

As the suspicion that last presidential election was a totally rigged election under the circumstances that public power including the National Security Service (NIS) and the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) intervened in it and then manipulated the public opinion has been increasingly proven to be true, now we are in the situation that all the cases have been taken over by the judgment of the judiciary.

Coupled with the manipulation of the public opinion in the presidential election by the NIS and that of the announcement of the investigation by the KNPA, a rampant gale called ‘Kimmuseongsm’ next to McCarthyism has befallen amid the 18th presidential election which had been rigged. Figures including Kim Mu-seong practiced ‘Kimmuseongsm’ (a pro-North Korean game) in the perception that it is the biggest weapon to be able to win the presidential election.

McCarthyism is the political practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence.

McCarthyism is the thought and the stream of the times advocated by Joseph Raymond McCarthy in the United States and the political practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence.

The following was what is called a rampant gale of McCarthyism: In the 1950s when communization of the People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union was more influential in the world than ever before and then war of ideas led to the dramatic contradiction, unfortunately unfair things from which many of the people including politicians, high-profile figures, laborers had suffered have ever happened in the United States at that time in the midst of the tendency to regard all the people exclusive of members of the Republic Party as Communists and accuse them.

The huge bad influences followed the rampant gale. It is hard to calculate the exact number of victims of McCarthyism. The number imprisoned is in the hundreds, and some ten or twelve thousand lost their jobs. In many cases simply being subpoenaed by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) or one of the other committees was sufficient cause to be fired.

Furthermore, suspected homosexuality was also a common cause for being targeted by McCarthyism. The hunt for sexual perverts, who were presumed to be subversive by nature, resulted in thousands being harassed and denied employment.

‘McCarthyism’ is the most effective method from which groups or individuals could benefit and is judged the thought and the stream of the times which Joseph Raymond McCarthy, a politician in the United States, abused with the aim of eliminating political opponents and dissident groups.

What are the similarities and differences between McCarthyism of the United States and Kimmuseongsm of the Republic of Korea?

Snipers

Edward R. Murrow, an American broadcast journalist

Not yet exist



The lessons

lA grasp of facts and the essence prior to all other things – coming to be not vulnerable to sympathy


lMuch as the procedures include the nature of democracy, to apply legal laws to the settlement as being based on the facts

l By learning

lessons from

the actual

example of

McCarthyism in

the United

States, making

the tendency to

infinitely echo

the pro-North

Korea across

the nation

ineffective and

halted




The pro-Japanese collaborators took the specter of McCarthy from which tens of thousands of innocent people suffered out from a coffin so that they can conceal the anti-national activities of their ancestors and the invalidity of winning the illegal and rigged election and then they have indulged in mobilizing it …The tendency has been masterminded by Kim Mu-seong, the offspring of Kim Yong-joo who is both a pro-Japanese collaborator and a national betrayer and launched the movement to send comfort telegrams to the Japanese Imperial army … http://blog.daum.net/jen-koje/87
