(BLACKED-OUT, UNDER-ESTIMATED) MASSIVE PRO-USA RALLY IN S.KOREA ON SATURDAY: VIDEO LINK!!!
Fuji TV Network, Japan (from Korean TV) ^ | 2 March 2003 | AmericanInTokyo (w/Fuji TV backup)

Posted on 03/01/2003 10:14:09 PM PST by AmericanInTokyo

A massive, pro-American, anti-Kim Jong il rally was held yesterday (Saturday, 1 March 2003) in Downtown Seoul, Korea. Pro-American signs and American flags were everywhere to be seen. Anti-Kim Jong-il slogans and burning North Korean flags were also the order of the day.

There were estimates by the police and organizers of upwards of 300,000 people. The South Korean press and Fox TV says 100,000 turned out Saturday.

But the mainstream IDIOTIC U.S. PRESS, particularly CNN and photo reports still viewed on Yahoo News, continue both the blatant lie from their earlier reporting that the pro-USA rally saw only 20,000-30,000 South Koreans attend ("mostly old and conservative", hopelessly-slanted CNN snarled) and also, generally speaking, English-language foreign press coverage of this massive pro-American event in South Korea has been extremely subdued.

Here is the URL to a 50-second report on Japanese TV Fuji News:

(There is also the link, above.)

You will have the choice of two streams each for Real Audio and Windows Media Player. A good high elevation panorama scan of the South Korean crowd in front of Seoul City Hall, which was still growing at the time, (as in the photo, above) is available.

Why isn't such a demonstration shown in the USA more widely? Isn't known that this is nearly the fourth major rally of this kind in South Korea in the last month, that other pro-USA rallies have taken place in other cities, and that anti-US rallies run by co-opted Marxist students and labor groups have been steadily declining in turnout?

Wow! Thanks!

It's inconvenient for the globalists.

If you or others could see the Fuji TV video clip just now, please let us know your impressions! Even with a 28KBPS dialup, it should be viewable by most.

That HUGE American flag they unfurled was AWESOME.

The student radicals (allies of International A.N.S.W.E.R. and Kim Jong il,) months earlier were burning US flags in that same square, believe it or not. Their numbers are dwindling 'radically'.

It was most pleasing to see the radical Korean Left slapped most fastidiously in the face by true People Power yesterday in Seoul.

East Asia Eagles Up!

Such a video clip or reporting overseas in support of the USA, TRULY goes against the agenda and interests of the main US networks, CNN and liberal print press. They have got to surpress it or dismiss it or minimize it.

You wouldn't see that much flag-waving on the east coast. The signs were in English for our benefit.

It would be good to see two clips side by side:

One of the American anti-war activists and one of the Korean "American" patriots.

Many of the South Korean pro-USA speakers and demonstrators yesterday were truly angry at their own domestic S. Korean press or bureaus of foreign press in S. Korea, which tended to puff up and overplay the Radical Left, and paint a picture overseas that there was no such counter-voice within South Korea.

They turned out en-masse yesterday in Seoul and showed them a thing or two.

They don't care to report on it. It is clearly an uncomfortable development for them and their anti-US agenda.

I hope that giant unfurled powder-blue flag isn't the UN flag...
