| June 12,2008:  Opposition political parties in South
 Korea are seeking to force the newly elected conservative government out of
 power via massive street demonstrations. The leftist opposition parties are
 using popular opposition to free trade (which actually favors South Korea more
 than it hurts), especially the importation of cheaper U.S. beef (said to
 contain mad-cow disease, although no South Korean has ever suffered from this
 via American meat products.) The leftists have controlled the educational
 system for decades, and have created a mythical new history for post-World War
 II history, in which North Korea is an innocent victim of U.S. imperialism (and
 it gets worse…) North Korea encourages this myth, just as East Germany worked
 with leftist political parties in West Germany during the Cold War to do the
 same thing. When the two Germanys were united in the early 1990s, the truth
 came out.
