[00:00:18][music] [music] >> Hi. Hi, folks.

[00:00:32]Well, the comfort woman issue is back on topic.

[00:00:37]My good friend, Colonel Shume Sun, from Japan, is currently in Geneva, Switzerland.

[00:00:43]And on Facebook, his Facebook, he noted or posted something in reference in reference to a South Korean in South Korea being arrested. And this is the gentleman who was arrested. Now, I have his name spelled three different ways because when I search his name out for various news articles, they spell his name three different ways. So, I'll let you decide which one is the correct one.

[00:01:09]But here's why this gentleman was arrested in South Korea. This South Korean arrested in South Korea.

[00:01:16]For what?

[00:01:17]>> [clears throat] >> He's one of the many people in South Korea who do not go along with the South Korean comfort woman mafia. He says that the South Korean comfort woman were not sex slaves dragged off the peninsula.

[00:01:36]No. He says as they were well-paid prostitutes.

[00:01:41]Not only does he say that, you see, once a week, across the street from where this Japanese embassy used to be in South Korea, the character comfort woman mafia holds a demonstration.

[00:01:56]And he opposes the demonstration and he shows up there in opposition to it.

[00:02:01]All right?

[00:02:03]In addition, he sometime places objects over the south of over the comfort women statues. Not causing any damage, not causing any harm, just place harmless objects on the statue. Mainly, I would think to protect the statue from bird poop.

[00:02:21]But what caused him to be arrested and charged?

[00:02:25]There's a I think it's an all girls high school in South Korea.

[00:02:30]And in this high school is placed a comfort women statue. I don't know if it's inside the high school or on the grounds of the high school. Well, he showed up there.

[00:02:39]And he held up a banner. That's all he did.

[00:02:42]And the banner read in essence that these girls are being subject to promote themselves as prostitutes because of that statue. Because the statue represents, as he says and as I say, well-paid prostitutes. So, he got arrested.

[00:02:59]Yeah. But wait a minute.

[00:03:02]He didn't damage anything.

[00:03:05]It was a free It was expression.

[00:03:07]The United States, we would say that's freedom of expression.

[00:03:11]And in South Korea, Article 21 of their constitution guarantees freedom of speech, which usually translates into expression. But let's read further into that constitution Article 21.

[00:03:28]But if you insult somebody or you harm them verbally, you can be liable, arrested, and charged. Yeah. So, that's what it is. So, if I go to South Korea and I said, "You're a [ __ ] You're a dope and you make me sick."

[00:03:44]And if you feel insulted by what I said, guess what?

[00:03:48]I can get arrested and liable for it.

[00:03:51]Now, if I go to Japan, they have an Article 21 in their constitution guaranteeing free speech.

[00:03:58]Does Does that qualify that by itself somebody? So, if I go to Japan and call you a [ __ ] you're an idiot, you make me sick.

[00:04:09]The reaction will be double at the doctor cuz I am a mess.

[00:04:14]>> [laughter] >> Facing no legal consequences. Now, if I'm here in the United States, if I go up to someone and say, "Well, you bonehead, you pinhead, you make me sick." There'd be no legal charges. I may get punched in the face.

[00:04:30]>> [laughter] >> But there'd be no legal charges. And this poor guy has the consequences of facing legal charges for exercising his free speech. Now, that part of the South Korean constitution, which in essence is limiting your free speech, if the South Koreans are fine with that, okay. It's your country. If you want your free speech limited, that's okay.

[00:04:54]It's rather peculiar in a so-called democracy to have such a limitation. But you know something, folks?

[00:05:03]Some countries do have that limitation even though it's not in the constitution. An example, well, we were in France a couple of years ago.

[00:05:15]And if we were to interpret history different than the official version by the French government, that's against the law. It's in their law. So, if I was to go to Paris, France and say, "Wow, Hitler was a nice man. He provided jobs for people. He did not hurt anyone."

[00:05:34]That contradicts official history version of the French government, and I will be arrested. I can say that here in the United States, and I would be laughed at and called an idiot. And I That would be correct if I said that.

[00:05:48]So, in various countries freedom of speech varies also. So, wherever you go around in the world, be careful. Know the laws in that country that you enter into.

[00:06:00]We'll see you. God bless you. God bless America.

[00:06:04]And God bless the nation you happen to be in.

[00:06:07]See you.

[00:06:09]>> [laughter] >> I believe.

[00:06:21]>> [singing] [music] >> I love you.

[00:06:36]>> [music] >> I love you.
