Wasn’t that speech essentially an expression of regret and admission that he did the wrong thing? That was always the impression I got anyway, and what gives his words even more weight.

Incomparably worse at the time. The living standard, quality of life, and access to political representation was all much much better in North Korea before the war.

Before and during the war the South Korean government was responsible for the vast majority of all warcrimes. Starting with the Jeju island uprising, where the South killed anywhere from 40-80k of its own citizens after they organized a general strike. It was one of the main events that precipitated the north invading.

Around 2-3 million civilians were killed during the Korean war, over 80% were killed by the South Korean/American government.

South Korean parliamentary elections in 1950 results in 60% of seats for party wanting unification, and 12% for US puppet president’s party. President blocked all mandates. Whether North proposals for nationwide elections or unification of parliaments with arrest of Rhee (puppet) were sincere, is deniable. North’s attempt to liberate South eventually failed. North/Sung would eventually replace democracy with a Monarchy (Sung’s decendants), and questioning his willingness to have taken a pragmatic distribution of power for unification goals is a reasonable western narrative.

I appreciate that Torah was written during 2nd temple. But the relatively recent 1st temple history and prophets cursing their kings, and declaring God himself will destroy the temple, and contradicting Moses law, seems to chronicle a fall that seems too intricate. But, there is archeological evidence that Jerusalem and Judah (David and Solomon) (surround it) had small 10000 population. That Israel was a more powerful friendly kingdom to the north, and Judahan history got rewritten after Syrians invaded and displaced Israel’s citizens to Judah. Very hard to judge if its too crazy, when religion continuously proves very crazy.

The more likely history of Judah is that the Philistines forced Egypt to reduce its empire, and Saul, just before David, consolidated the few poor tribes of Judah in defense to Philistines, with David paying tribute to Philistines to survive. Yahweh war god’s chosen people never fought or vanquished anyone anywhere near Judah/Israel. It is also Israel side that laid claim to a Moses heritage instead of the Judah/David side. It would all get merged later after Israel was invaded.

A bigger problem with the Abraham myth is the close lineage to Noah/Shem. The only geological possibility of a massive flood story is instead of 40 days/nights or rain, was a 100 year flood of Persian Gulf Oasis (likely site of Atlantis) in 6100bc as a result of ice age melting. That’s 4000 years prior to Abraham’s dating.

There’s Palestine.

Zionism exists based on Moses inventing a demon that mandates genocide and destruction of enemy idols for Moses’s chosen followers that eventually leads to Israel domination by King David. Selectively using that section of Old Testament, while ignoring all of the latter Jewish prophets, fully included in Old Testament, that claimed God had abandoned them as chosen people due to the evil of their kings. Christianity used to claim it was the chosen people including Americans through Manifest destiny. It’s a good scam to get fanatics into your army/injustice squads.

Satan’s Guide to the Bible

Satan’s origins come from 2nd temple jews, who incidentally could build 2nd temple because Iran liberated them from Babylonians. Before I get to that…

The first temple period lasted 500 years after King David, where Jewish prophets, like Jesus, are woke anti-poverty activists that keep shouting their kings suck more and more, ending in Jerimiah declaring God will destroy this temple because Jews are no longer the Chosen people. After in exile, “God no longer favours kings”, and “God is in your heart” similar though less eloquent to “Do onto others as you wish done onto you”.

The second temple changes Jews to monotheist pure, and angels serving the demon Yahweh are invented to replace the Pantheon he supposedly overthrew. There are 2 origins of Satan. Baal (The Greeks called him the same as Zeus) was worshiped by Philistines as Baal-Zebul. The storm god jews and other tribes prayed to if they wanted crops to grow, instead of King’s private messages on who to murder and steal from. Kings David and Solomon both names sons after Baal. Jews demonized rivals to Yahweh, and by the time of Jesus, Beelzebub was interchangeable with Satan, with Jesus quoted as using the term interchangeably. The 2nd origin is Lucifer. This is pure Roman fuckery in latin mistranslation of the hebrew word for venus/morning star, in yet another song, this time mocking Babylonian King who conquered Israelites for thinking he is the “falling star of venus” instead of the real “sun” god. The fallen angel myth comes from absolute stupidity.

Both origins of Satan are complete BS, and so source has linguistic issues preventing me from bothering to view it. It is also disconnected with the selective parts of the bible that support Zionism, and the state of Israel that was created by that movement.
