These kinds of US military activities that are going on in South Korea are regretfully occurring all over the world. Can the USA ever leave nations alone? Not until the governments of our respective nations say loud and clear: "Satis est satis -- Enough is enough..... leave our country alone; accepting medical and educational assistance, YES..... accepting weapons and military assistance, NO. We do not want foreign military bases nor military ships in our harbors." There has never been in history a nation's foreign policy, such as that of the USA, that has exploited successfully so many governments for such a long time. The foreign policy of the USA consists in constantly preparing for wars in various global regional areas. This is done by instilling suspicion and fear against neighboring nations. The US ultimate goal is to control firmly the lands and harbors that had been selected. South Korea has been one of them. I got these photos from a Jeju Island media outlet....you can see more of them if you click here
I've not yet heard from Sung-Hee Choi yet, she might have been arrested for all I know. [Later blog says she is OK, but arrested.]
It is obvious that the Navy has pushed through with their cement trucks and will now begin to pour concrete over the sea life that lives among the rocks along the coastline of the Gangjeong village.
All of this in order to build a Navy base that is needed as the U.S. Navy builds more ships and deploys them in the region. Maine's Sen. Olympia Snowe (Republican) has said over and over again to the media in our state that more Navy ships are needed to "protect" against China's expanding power. There can be no doubt that this base has nothing to do with North Korea. It is all about projecting power toward China in order to block their ability to import oil on ships along the waterway between Jeju Island and mainland China. The Chinese import 80% of their oil via this sea route and if the U.S. can successfully "choke off" their ability to transport oil then the U.S., who can't compete with China's growing economy, would be able to still hold the "keys" to their economic engine.
It is hardball politics that the U.S. is playing here in this expensive and dangerous game. The people on Jeju Island, sadly enough, are just pawns in the way of imperial designs.
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth. ~Henry David Thoreau
