PERSECUTION: South Korean Conservative Ex-PM Gets 23 Years for 'Insurrection' - Sound Familiar?

The global war on conservatives just claimed another victim as 76-year-old former South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo was slapped with a crushing 23-year prison sentence for his role in supporting former President Yoon Suk-Yeol's martial law declaration last month.

Does this playbook sound familiar, Patriots? A conservative leader tries to protect his nation's security, gets branded an "insurrectionist," and suddenly finds himself facing decades behind bars while the establishment cheers.

Han's crime? Standing by President Yoon when he attempted to impose martial law in December 2024 to combat what Yoon described as "anti-state forces" threatening South Korea's democracy. The martial law lasted mere hours before being overturned, but that didn't stop the leftist courts from throwing the book at Yoon's entire administration.

The Global Deep State Playbook

What's happening in South Korea mirrors the same persecution tactics we've seen weaponized against President Trump and January 6th patriots right here at home. Label your political opponents as threats to democracy, manufacture an "insurrection" narrative, then use the courts to eliminate them from the political battlefield.

South Korean conservatives are rightfully terrified. If a 76-year-old former prime minister can get 23 years for supporting his president's constitutional powers, who's safe? The message is crystal clear: toe the establishment line or face destruction.

This isn't justice – it's political warfare disguised as law and order. The same forces that tried to destroy Trump with bogus prosecutions are now coaching their allies worldwide on how to eliminate conservative opposition through lawfare.

America Must Lead by Example

As President Trump begins his second term, he has the opportunity to show the world what real justice looks like. His promise to pardon January 6th political prisoners sends a powerful message that America won't tolerate the weaponization of our justice system.

South Korean patriots are watching. Conservative movements worldwide are watching. Will America stand as a beacon of true justice, or will we allow the Deep State's persecution playbook to spread unchecked across the globe?

The choice is ours, and the time is now.

Prayers for this brave man and his family. Standing up for what's right shouldn't result in decades behind bars.

I've been following Korean politics for years and this is a complete sham trial. The man was trying to protect democracy, not destroy it. 23 years is absolutely outrageous for what amounts to a political disagreement.

Sound familiar? You bet it does! This is the playbook they're using worldwide against conservative leaders.

It's happening in Brazil too. Global coordinated effort to silence opposition voices.

My family fled North Korea decades ago and now South Korea is starting to look just as authoritarian. What happened to the country my parents thought was free?

This is exactly what's happening here in America. They're weaponizing the justice system against anyone who dares to challenge the establishment narrative.

100% agree. The parallels are terrifying and we need to wake up before it's too late.
