I can't imagine anyone in Gwangju wanting to go to Starbucks ever again. Besides, there are plenty of good espresso makers throughout Korea. As we say in Seattle, "Friends don't let friends go to Starbucks."

As South Korea begins construction of the National AI Data Centre at Solaseado, Haenam, I’ve been researching the site for my new artwork THIRST/For Knowledge — an immersive sound installation that listens to the entanglement of water, land, and technology. #fieldrecordings of the threatened river at the site underpin the #sound #composition.

At the heart of the research are Korea’s developments at the forefront of AI infrastructure.

@nknews In 1989 a Russian and an American discuss the cold war, the American says "In my country I have freedom of speech, I can stand outside the whitehouse and call George Bush a criminal and the police do nothing."

The Russian replies "Same in USSR, I can stand outside the Kremlin all day calling George Bush an asshole and the police do nothing but smile and wave!"

The #korea special warfare command which was released by US army general John Adams Wickham (later promoted to chief of staff of US army) to Chun to attack #Gwangju is the same unit from which troops were deployed by #Yoon on Dec 5th #coup attempt

Chun himself was commander of defence intelligence command (DIC), like Roh Sang-Won who was instrumental in orchestrating Yoon's abortive coup

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2024/12/113_388179.html

"As some Koreans are painfully aware, the Carter administration played an essential role in Gwangju by helping the coup leader, Lt. Gen. Chun Doo-hwan, crush the uprising. At a high-level White House meeting on May 22 that we first reported in 1996, Carter’s national security team approved the use of force to retake the city and agreed to provide short-term support to Chun if he agreed to long-term political change"

#JimmyCarter taken from us at such a young age. Let me know if any mainstream media remember his role in #Gwangju #Massacre or if that's contrasted with the saintliness of his "human rights" work

"the Carter administration ultimately sided with the #korea martial law army ... sparking years of anti-American feeling and creating fissures in the bilateral relationship that have never fully healed. Many Koreans would like to see a formal apology from Washington."

https://www.koreanquarterly.org/tag/gwangju-massacre/

For election commission raid/abduction mission "each [soldier] was individually asked their opinion, in addition to what high school they graduated from and where in Korea they were from."

Almost nobody from Jeolla-do was picked. When asked if that was to exclude them (presumably due to loyalty doubts), whistleblower said yes.

Jeolla-do is home to the city of #gwangju, the site of US-backed massacre during previous coup and key point in democratization struggle

#Yoon #korea #coup #윤석열퇴진

The South Koreans know what's at stake, and they haven't forgotten what happened during the
#Gwangju Uprising. #SouthKorea #democracy

@kripfeifer thanks!

if you search #gwangju tag you'll find it's not only history. Victims are still dealing with blame and stigma.

Chun Doo-Hwan recently died a free man, very wealthy. I've seen his huge estate and mansion in seoul, left to his kids, the proceeds of his crimes.

#Biden carefully timed his 2022 visit to Korea to avoid being here on the 5/18 anniversary.

It would mean a great deal to Carter's victims if a US president would make even the slightest gesture of recognition.

David Dollinger, the only US citizen present with the gwangju citizens during the massacre was forced to resign from a thing called "the peace corps" for speaking up about what he saw...
