You Turned my Wailing into Dancing
You Turned my Wailing into Dancing
Hear,
O LORD,
and
be merciful
to me;
O
LORD,
be my help.”
You
turned
my wailing
into dancing;
you
removed
my sackcloth
and
clothed me
with joy,
that
my heart
may sing
to you
and
not be
silent.
O
LORD
my God,
I
will
give you
thanks
forever.
Psalm 30: 10-12
여호와여
들으시고
나를 긍휼히
여기소서
여호와여
나의 돕는 자가
되소서 하였나이다
주께서
나의 슬픔을
변하여
춤이
되게 하시며
나의
베옷을 벗기고
기쁨으로 띠
띠우셨나이다
이는
잠잠치
아니하고
내 영광으로
주를 찬송케
하심이니
여호와
나의 하나님이여
내가 주께 영영히
감사하리이다

The Truth of Korean War (6.25 War in 1950)
The Truth of Korean War (6.25 War in 1950)
61 years have passed since Korea War happened. Although it’s armistice agreement was signed 58 years ago, Some of anti-americans & pro-north korean leftists in S.Korea have insisted that all responsibilities of Korean War are belong to S.Korea. This time, One of the professionals about the cold war history and Korean war, Ann Weathersby expressed her opinion against this dispute.
She was the person who has studied the confidential documents about the Communist bloc’s declassification. She said that Korean war was started by North Korea and that was planned precisely by Soviet Union,China, N.Korea. Some people said that the main reason of Korean War was just because of their ideological confrontations between the left and the right. but she opposed it and said “Korean War was planned”. She insisted that Kim il sung first suggest breaking into S.Korea and Stalin accepted that, Mao zedong supported that last.
She said like this “I was so surprised that there are many koreans who don’t believe N.Korea’s first invasion to S.Korea. I think that is so deplorable.” I heard that there are many spies depatched from N.Korea in S.Korea. they have been sneaking into the several important organizations like political party, social party. they’re trying to stir people’s mind to make them anti-government people and use them to make other people in same. their war isn’t finished.

Fear – A Dictator’s Tool
Fear – A Dictator’s Tool
David M. Crane
JANUARY 29, 2019 04:47:12 PM
Edited by: Tim Zubizarreta | U. Pittsburgh School of Law, US
JURIST Guest Columnist David M. Crane of the Syracuse University College of Law discusses the role that fear plays in government…
Thomas Jefferson is reported to have said:
“When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”
I have investigated and prosecuted dictators and their henchmen for most of my professional life. I have studied their lives, personalities, their rise to power and how they governed once achieving that power. The one common theme in their theories of governance is fear.
It is easier to govern and dictate to citizens through fear.
As Hannah Arendt wrote in her book, The Origins of Totalitarianism: “A fundamental difference between modern dictatorships and all other tyrannies of the past is that terror is no longer used as a means to exterminate and frighten opponents, but as an instrument to rule masses of people who are perfectly obedient.” The infamous dictators of the twentieth century, such as Stalin, Hitler, and Mao Tse-tung among others, understood this all too well.
Their theory was that a frightened populace will allow their government to take drastic measures to protect them without protest, usually from perceived evil that threatens their society or country externally.
This object, person or peoples, religion or culture which focuses their fear is what I call their boogeyman. These boogeymen threaten their way of life and only the men in power have the capacity to address the threat.
In a perverse way they tell their frightened citizens “We may have to take away your liberties, even kill some of you, to protect you from that boogeyman.”
Over ninety million of those frightened citizens died at the hands of their own dictatorial governments in the twentieth century.
As the twentieth century morphed into the twenty-first century mankind pushed back and began to hold dictators, tyrants, and thugs accountable. With the advent of modern international criminal law, mankind created international courts and tribunals, which include a permanent international criminal court, to seek justice for victims of those who rule by fear.
This movement lasted around twenty-five years. This age of accountability is wavering today.
With a rapidity that was shocking, this age of accountability gave way to the age of the strongman.
International order and cooperation also gave way to a new populism that rejected the concept of international peace and security through the United Nations Charter for a more inward domestic nationalism, not seen since the late 1920’s and the early 1930’s.
The rise of strongmen across the globe in the past several years in Russia, China, Syria, Iran, Israel, Turkey, Venezuela, Hungary, the Philippines along with other longer term dictatorships from the twentieth century, has been astonishing and threatens the global order put in place after the Second World War.
Even the cornerstone country of that world order, the United States, is toying with this populism.
In similar ways, each of the modern era strongmen rose to power and maintained that power through a boogeyman, that proverbial threat from the outside. They stoke a real or imagined fear of holding up that threat in order to remain in power and to get their frightened citizens to acquiesce.
Why do they all consistently use fear as their modus operandi? Because it works…almost every time.
Our current President, a distant and envious admirer of these strongmen campaigned on this populism and once in power began manufacturing existential threats by Muslims, brown people of all sorts, terrorists and rapists all clamoring to “invade” us along our southern border. Hence “the wall” that had frozen our federal government in place until recently (and reportedly may do so again).
To counter his boogeyman, this President is threatening to invoke emergency powers and step around the people’s branch, our Congress, to get what he wants.
Having studied tyranny in all it’s aspects, most dictators begin to seize absolute power by using the law to invoke emergency powers to protect the citizens from the proverbial outside boogeyman.
The problem is the emergency which justified the seizure of power “remains” and the dictator places a stranglehold around the liberties of the populace which tightens until they wake up one morning with that liberty gone.
Fear can also be a good thing. It sharpens one’s focus and brings a populace together to fight against the threat.
We are not at the point in this country where we are hapless. The Constitution, as the great gyroscope that provides balance for our Republic from any challenges that rock our government back and forth, should be our rallying point to counter this President’s fear mongering.
We should not be afraid to step forward under law to stop this madness.
Nelson Mandela had it right: “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
David M. Crane was the Founding Chief Prosecutor of the International War Crimes Tribunal in West Africa, called the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

Professor Crane is also a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Syracuse University College of Law.
