Hey hey, for those who don't know, South Korean women and girls are currently suffering from a disgusting misogyny epidemic by the hands of men who use Telegram as a forum to exchange deepfake porn of women and girls in their family, school, university, work, etc. These men also exchange videos of them groping those women and girls. It's a repeat of the Nth Room crime.

There are hundreds of thousands of men in those Telegram chats. Think about it. Hundreds of thousands of men--someone's father, uncle, brother, son; a girl's classmate or a uni student's 'friend'--drugging the women and girls in their life, groping there for plenty of others to see, create deepfake porn or providing pictures of the women and girls they know so that others may create the deepfake porn, and men posting private information about the women and girls in their life to encourage others to sexually assault them.

Think. About. It.

Many Korean feminists have been trying to shed light into this crime. They've specifically been trying to make this known outside of Korea because Korea's rampantly misogynistic and their newspapers won't talk about this new Nth Room unless other, international newspapers report on it.

These Korean feminists are also suffering from harassment on all fronts: from YouTube, the men in the Telegram chats who demand when women decided they should have rights, etc. One of the most vocal feminists, @/dvu84djp on Twitter, has suffered much of this harassment. I urge everyone to check her page for more info on the matter, since I don't live in Korea, don't know Korean, am not Korean and all I can see is a repeat of what she and other K feminists are saying. I also urge everyone to go report this asshole on YouTube, since he's been one of the most vocal in spreading hate against the feminists fighting for basic human rights for their women

Ramjong is the country's second largest city and the country's former capital. Founded in the 10th century by Prince Hosui Mongh, the city continued to serve as the country's de facto cultural capital after the capital was moved to Toriyang in 1800. The city is famous for its defensive walls, gates and numerous historical monuments, including imperial palaces from the 12th and 15th centuries

South Korea blocks DeepSeek over security concerns

South Korea’s government temporarily blocked employee access to Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek, citing security concerns, according to Reuters.

The move comes as the government urges caution in the use of generative AI services, including DeepSeek and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, in workplace settings.

On Tuesday, the government issued a notice advising ministries and agencies to exercise caution when using AI services. The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy confirmed it had restricted access to DeepSeek, while state-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power blocked the use of AI services, including DeepSeek, earlier this month.

The defence ministry also barred access to DeepSeek on computers used for military purposes, whereas the foreign ministry restricted its use on devices connected to external networks.

South Korea is the one to impose restrictions on DeepSeek, following similar actions by Australia and Taiwan, which banned the AI startup from all government devices over security concerns. Italy’s data protection authority also ordered DeepSeek to block its chatbot in the country in January, citing unresolved privacy issues. Other governments in Europe, the US, and India are reportedly examining the implications of using China’s startup.

Impact on tech sector

The restrictions prompted South Korean tech companies to reassess their use of generative AI. Kakao Corp, a major chat app operator, instructed employees to avoid using DeepSeek, despite recently partnering with OpenAI.

SK Hynix, a leading AI chip manufacturer, limited access to generative AI services, allowing their use only when necessary. Similarly, Naver, a prominent South Korean web portal, advised employees against using AI services storing data outside the company.

DeepSeek’s latest AI models, launched last month, drew significant attention for their advanced capabilities and cost efficiency, with the company claiming they rival or surpass US-developed products. However, the startup’s rapid rise sparked concerns over data security and privacy, leading to increased scrutiny from governments and corporations worldwide.

South Korean intelligence says North has sent troops to aid Russia's war in Ukraine

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s spy agency said Friday that North Korea has dispatched troops to support Russia’s war against Ukraine. If confirmed, the move would bring a third country into the war and intensify a standoff between North Korea and the West. The South Korean announcement came a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his government has intelligence that…

╰┈➤ cho sang-woo x girlfriend!reader imagine

a/n: i would like to give a special thank you to @lumillsie for the layout of this post and for the filter used on the header! this story takes place in an alternate ending for squid game where sang-woo wins instead of gi-hun! 🤍

˚ ༘♡ it had been over two weeks since you last heard from cho sang-woo. no calls, no texts, not even the smallest acknowledgment of your existence. the silence weighed on you, growing heavier with every passing day. sang-woo, your long-term boyfriend, the man you had imagined spending the rest of your life with, had seemingly vanished without explanation.

˚ ༘♡ he was everything you had dreamed of, handsome, intelligent, educated. in your eyes, he was near perfect. you had moved to south korea a year and a half ago. the two of you met only a month after your arrival in seoul. you were standing at a convenience store counter, struggling to buy an iced coffee before work. the cashier’s words blurred into a language barrier you couldn’t break through, leaving you flustered and embarrassed.

˚ ༘♡ then there he was. cho sang-woo, with his neatly pressed suit and square-rimmed glasses, stepping in to translate with a calm assurance that immediately put you at ease. he went further and insisted on paying for your coffee, brushing off your protests with a polite smile. “you can pay me back with your number,” he had said, his tone light but his warm gaze unwavering. you gave it to him without hesitation, your heart racing as he walked away with a casual, confident stride that lingered in your mind for days.

˚ ༘♡ what followed was akin to a fantasy. your first few dates were sweet and unassuming, dinners at cozy restaurants, walks through bustling markets, late-night phone calls that stretched into the early hours of the morning. before long, it became more than casual. he wasn’t simply a charming man in a suit, he was someone you trusted, someone you leaned on. yet, as your relationship deepened, so did the flaws.

˚ ༘♡ sang-woo treated you well in many ways. he insisted on paying for meals, even when you protested. he offered to help with rent when he noticed you were stressed about expenses. his job at joy investments afforded him a lifestyle of financial stability, one that he willingly extended to you. however, beneath his polished exterior, there was an undeniable distance.

˚ ༘♡ it started small, little things that nagged at you but seemed too insignificant to bring up. his phone was always locked, the screen flashing dark whenever you glanced at it. he would leave suddenly, without warning, offering only vague explanations that never quite satisfied your curiosity. “work,” he would say, brushing off your questions as though they were irrelevant. and no matter how many times you pressed him for the truth, he never admitted anything.

˚ ༘♡ those moments of secrecy chipped away at your trust, leaving an uneasy ache in your chest. you told yourself it was nothing, that you were overthinking. but the fights that erupted when you brought it up told a different story. his calm facade would crack, and he would grow defensive, his words sharp and cutting. “don’t you trust me?” he had asked more than once, the accusation in his tone a slap in the face.

˚ ༘♡ despite the arguments, despite the unanswered questions, you loved him. you loved the way he smoothed a hand down your back when you were upset, the way his voice softened when he called you by name. you loved the rare instances of vulnerability he let slip, the heartfelt glimpses of the man beneath the polished exterior. you loved him enough to forgive, enough to overlook the secrets that cast shadows over your relationship.

˚ ༘♡ as you sat alone in your apartment, staring at your phone with an empty inbox mocking your worry. two weeks of silence was unbearable. the man you loved, the one who had promised to protect you, had left you with nothing but questions and a ache where his presence used to be.

˚ ༘♡ the doorbell rang, cutting through the quiet of your apartment as though it were a sharp blade. it wasn’t merely unusual, it was unsettling. who would come at this hour? you glanced at the clock on the wall, its glowing numbers reminding you that it was well past midnight. your stomach churned uneasily as you stood up, your fatigue from a long shift at the café clinging to you.

˚ ༘♡ working from sunrise to sunset every day had worn you thin, but you had refused sang-woo’s offers to help you financially. he had already done so much, given so generously, and the thought of taking more was crossing a line you couldn’t bring yourself to breach. it would be an abuse of his kindness.

˚ ༘♡ the hallway was dark as you approached the door, your bare feet silent on the cool floor. you hesitated before unlocking it, your hand hovering over the latch. “hello?” you called out cautiously as you cracked it open, peering into the dimly lit corridor.

˚ ༘♡ before you could register what was happening, a hard shove sent the door crashing into you, knocking you backward. you stumbled, barely managing to catch yourself against the wall. your heart leapt into your throat as the figure who had forced their way inside quickly shut the door behind them.

˚ ༘♡ your confusion turned to disbelief as the light from your apartment fell on their face. it was sang-woo.

˚ ༘♡ his chest heaved with each labored breath, his shirt wrinkled and unbuttoned at the collar, his dress pants scuffed and slightly torn. his glasses, the ones you always teased him about for making him look too serious, were nowhere to be seen. instead, his face bore the evidence of recent hardships, bruises, faint scars, and scabbed-over cuts that marred his formerly pristine appearance. even his hands, the ones you’d grown so used to seeing holding a pen or a glass of wine, were scratched and battered.

˚ ༘♡ he looked like he had aged years in the short time he had been gone.

˚ ༘♡ “sang-woo,” you stammered, your voice unsteady with equal parts confusion and fear, “what the hell are you doing? it’s the middle of the night, and… why haven’t you been answering my calls?”

˚ ༘♡ he opened his mouth as if to respond, but the words didn’t come immediately. instead, he leaned against the door, his shoulders slumping as though the weight of the world was pressing down on him. “i…” he started, his voice hoarse and raw, but he seemed unable to finish.

˚ ༘♡ without warning, he crossed the room in a single stride and pulled you into a tight embrace. his arms wrapped around you with a desperation that felt almost suffocating, his head burying into the crook of your neck as he clung to you.

˚ ༘♡ you stood unmoving, the shock of his sudden appearance warring with the affection of his touch. part of you was relieved beyond words to have him back, while another part was angry. angry at his disappearance, at the unanswered calls and texts, at the fear and doubt he had left you to wrestle with.

˚ ༘♡ “i missed you,” he murmured against your shoulder, his voice so quiet you almost didn’t hear it.

˚ ༘♡ his words tugged at your heart, but they weren’t enough to quell the storm of questions brewing inside you. “sang-woo,” you said, your voice softer now but still laced with frustration, “what’s going on? where have you been? what happened to you?”

˚ ༘♡ he didn’t answer right away, his grip tightening, as though the very act of holding onto you could keep him grounded. his breath was unstable, his chest rising and falling against yours in a way that betrayed the turmoil beneath his silence. the room felt oppressively quiet.

˚ ༘♡ “sang-woo!” you exclaimed, your voice sharp, desperate for clarity. the sound seemed to jolt him, his body stiffening before he reluctantly pulled back.

˚ ༘♡ his hands were shaking as he reached into his pocket, the movement clumsy and hurried. when he withdrew, he thrust a thick stack of cash into your arms, one hundred million won, neatly bound and unnervingly out of place in your modest apartment. the weight of the money startled you, as you stared at the crisp bills in disbelief.

˚ ༘♡ “listen to me,” he said, his voice shaking but steadfast. “after this, after i take care of everything, i’ll buy us a beautiful home. somewhere quiet, somewhere safe. hold onto this for now.”

˚ ༘♡ you blinked at him, your mind struggling to process the sudden shift, the money heavy in your grasp. “sang-woo,” you said, your tone rising with vexation and confusion, “where did you get this money?”

˚ ༘♡ he didn’t answer, his eyes avoiding yours, and that only fueled your frustration. “tell me!” you demanded. “where have you been? do you have any idea what I’ve been through? i thought you left me for another woman or fled the country!”

˚ ༘♡ his jaw clenched, his expression fading as guilt flashed across his face, but he said nothing.

˚ ༘♡ you pressed further, your voice strained with a mix of hurt and fury. “i talked to your mother. she said you haven’t called her in ages! i went to your work. they haven’t seen you in weeks! your friends? same thing. no one knows where you’ve been!” your hands tightened around the cash, your knuckles white as your chest heaved with the distress of your tone. “how could you do this to me? how could you leave without a word, without an explanation?”

˚ ༘♡ his silence hurt more than any words could have. he looked at you, his expression a painful mix of regret and something darker, something you couldn’t place. his lips parted as if to speak, but he hesitated, the words caught somewhere between his chest and his throat.

˚ ༘♡ “sang-woo,” you whispered, your voice trembling as tears began to sting your eyes. “please. i need to understand.”

˚ ༘♡ “i’ll tell you everything soon, i promise, sweetheart,” sang-woo murmured, his voice unsteady, as if it pained him to speak. his hand, calloused and trembling, reached out to rest gently on your cheek, his touch delicate. your heart ached as you met his gaze, those dark, exhausted eyes glistening with unshed tears. it was a look so raw, so unfamiliar.

˚ ༘♡ “you have to trust me,” he said, his tone soft but pleading. “you have to listen to me. i’ve already given you what you need to cover your expenses.” his hand lingered against your cheek for a monthly moment before falling away, his fingers curling into a fist at his side. “i have urgent legal and business matters to deal with, but once they’re resolved… we’ll have the life we’ve dreamed of. everything we’ve talked about.”

˚ ༘♡ his lips brushed against your forehead, the kiss light but filled with a quiet desperation that made your chest tighten. “nothing could ever keep me from you,” he breathed, the words barely audible. “promise me you’ll do as i ask.”

˚ ༘♡ everything about this felt wrong, the way he avoided your questions, the haunting exhaustion in his voice, the bruises that lined his hands and face. you wanted answers. you wanted to demand he tell you everything right then and there, but the way he looked at you, so broken, so unlike the composed sang-woo you knew, kept you from saying anymore.

˚ ༘♡ uncertainty clouded your mind, nonetheless you nodded, your voice hardly above a whisper. “i promise.”

˚ ༘♡ his shoulders sagged slightly at your answer, the tension in his body loosening, though not entirely disappearing. “good,” he said softly, almost to himself. he was still nervous, his eyes darting toward the door as though expecting someone to burst through at any moment.

˚ ༘♡ “i have to go,” he said, his voice tinged with reluctance. “but i’ll come back. i swear, okay?”

˚ ༘♡ “okay,” you replied, unsure but unwilling to push him further.

˚ ༘♡ he leaned in, his lips brushing against yours in a fleeting, tender kiss that left you yearning for answers. then, without another word, he turned and left the apartment, closing the door behind him.

˚ ༘♡ you stood there, the silence of his absence pressing down on you, dread engulfed your thoughts. your mind churned with questions, with doubts, but one thing was certain, you were relieved, no matter how strange the circumstances of his return, to have seen sang-woo again. the agonizing ache in your chest told you that his departure had left you with far more questions than answers.

a/n: my first sang-woo fanfiction!! is it controversial for me to say i love his character and he’s my favorite one in squid game? please let me know if you have any requests! 🤍

South Korea suspends new downloads of DeepSeek

South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) announced that new downloads of the Chinese AI app DeepSeek had been suspended in the country.

The decision came after DeepSeek had admitted to failing to fully comply with some of the agency’s rules on personal data protection.

The PIPC stated that the app’s services would resume once necessary improvements were made to align with South Korea’s privacy laws. The suspension, which took effect on Saturday, blocked new downloads of the app but did not affect access to DeepSeek’s web service in the country.

The Chinese startup recently appointed legal representatives in South Korea and acknowledged partially neglecting considerations under the country’s data protection laws, according to the PIPC. The move follows similar regulatory actions in other countries.

Last month, Italy’s data protection authority ordered DeepSeek to block its chatbot in the country after the company failed to address concerns about its privacy policy.

When questioned about earlier actions by South Korean government departments to restrict DeepSeek, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson addressed the issue during a briefing on 6 February. The spokesperson emphasised that the Chinese government places great importance on data privacy and security and protects it in accordance with the law.

The suspension highlights growing international scrutiny over data privacy and the challenges faced by tech companies in navigating varying regulatory frameworks across different markets. DeepSeek’s ability to address the concerns will be critical to restoring its services in South Korea and maintaining its global presence.

The American press has just recounted what former President Jimmy Carter said to Donald Trump during his recent interview about China.

"You're worried that China is getting ahead of us, and I agree with you. But do you know why China is getting ahead of us? I normalized diplomatic relations with Beijing in 1979. Since then, do you know how many times China has gone to war with anyone? Not once, even though we're constantly at war.

The United States is the most warlike nation in the history of the world because it wants to impose states that respond to our government and American values ​​throughout the West, and to control companies that own energy resources in other countries." China, for its part, invests its resources in projects such as railways, infrastructure, intercontinental and transoceanic bullet trains, 6G technology, robotic intelligence, universities, hospitals, ports, buildings, and high-speed trains instead of using them for military spending.

"How many kilometers of high-speed trains do we have in this country?

We wasted $300 billion in military spending to subjugate countries that sought to escape our hegemony.

China hasn't wasted a penny on war, and that's why it surpasses us in almost every area. And if we had spent $300 billion to install infrastructure, robots, and public health in the United States, we would have high-speed transoceanic bullet trains." We would have bridges that don't collapse, free healthcare for Americans, thousands of Americans who wouldn't be infected with COVID-19 more than any other country in the world.

We would have roads that hold up properly. Our education system would be as good as South Korea's or Shanghai's." - Jimmy Carter.

Moon’s plans in 1972: “We must be prepared for the day when CIA, FBI, other VIPs recognize our movement”

The screenshots below are not all of the notes, and the text of the notes below are not all of the notes. Go to the source for more comprehensive notes from a member listening to Moon.

Notes taken from Moon on his plans (”Master’s Plans”) in 1972:

[The] United Nations [has the] status of [a] brain without limbs. Before long it will be absorbed by the Communist delegations.

So, we are at the point to organization [a] word-wide association other than the United Nations. It [the United Nations] can't be expected to fulfill its true role.

We must be prepared to do all these vast things.

These six performances in the U.S. [city of] Los Angeles have [put us into] contact with several VIPsthere.

This project began several years ago.

We will let people of [the] world know that only the Unification Church can save the Christian World.

Only Victory Over Communism can save the Christian World from Communism. Only the Unification Principle can absorb and surpass all other ideologies.

If U.S. VIPs know these three (the Unification Church, Victory Over Communism and the Unification

Principle), they will see that we are the only ones capable of saving Christianity from Satanic Communism.

They will have to use us as tools to save the whole world.

We will open up channels to reach the CIA, FBI, etc.

Before long, we will buy an estate like Belvedere in Washington DC also.

We must be prepared for the day when [the] CIA, FBI and other VIPs recognize our movement. We must have a solid foundation in each state of the U.S.

If [the] foundation is laid by 1974, [everything] above can be accomplished. 

So we will lay such [a] foundation in each state as soon as possible.

[Henry] Kissinger in [his] meeting with [the] Viet Cong is conceding [everything to the Viet Cong].

If he continues, [this] will put [the] U.S. to shame. He is being condemned for this.

Then [the] Commies will accuse [the] U.S. about helping Korea, also. [The] whole world will then condemn [the] U.S. as [an] aggressor.

The, [the] U.S. will fall [in]to pits of condemnation.

[The] Commies are carrying out their work hope [to] have thanks [from the] Negros, [the] poor, etc.

[The] U.S. has withdrawn from Asia; and will also follow Commie ideology, exploding their ideology at [the] whole nation.

No South American nations favor [the] U.S. Commies are undermining them.

Commies can use Mexico to invade [the] U.S.

By 1978 [Communists] will create a situation in the U.S. like the situation in [South] Viet Nam [now].

April 15, 1972 was [a] critical period in Korea. ([The] rivers didn't freeze that year. [So it would have been easy for the North to invade the South.])

Evil cannot be subjugated without [a] condition.

February 7, 1978 is the 60th year of Communism.

1972 is the 60th year of Kim Il-Sung.

[The] nation of the U.S. may parish, but our movement cannot perish.

By 1978, we must have carried out heavens intentions.

Both North and South Korea are conceding to each other, dealing in power.

We must raise three million dollars per year. 

These notes also take note of the need for an international organization to right the wrongs of the United Nations, laying ground for his later Universal Peace Federation (UPF) project, which remains at the center of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification’s (FFWPU) “providence” under Hak Ja Han.

These notes reveal Moon's reactionary politics and attitude, which was callous toward the poor and racialized. Not only that, but he found Kissinger to be too soft on red Vietnam and the Viet Cong, potentially putting the U.S. to shame. Henry Kissinger is still alive. This man is known for being the architect of atrocious war crimes all over the world over the span of decades, responsible for the deaths of millions. And yet, even his war crimes were not enough for Moon. Remember, in South Korea (Republic of Korea), Moon’s organizations used the language of “exterminating communism.” This was not an innuendo. 

We know that the Moonies were paid by the FBI to sabotage and harass CISPES events and organizers in the 80s. Did Moon have to prove himself and his (and the KCIA’s) organizing abilities to the FBI in order to begin cooperating in COINTELPRO-like and more high-level counterinsurgency activity? 

Moon did not hide his intentions from his followers. He sought to influence the United States, its attitudes and policies towards South Korea and communism. He sought to serve the policies of the Republic of Korea, for its economic development and interests and “protection” from communism. 

Moon at Barrytown in 1974:

The future of Korea is connected with the future of America and of the world. So, since I find many problems in this nation, I have to win and gain the victory in this nation first. If by our doing this the Communist power in North Korea will eventually collapse, what you have done will be long remembered and will spread out annihilating and exterminating the power of Communism all over the world. If we can so influence the world, the people who represented 137 nations and observed us this time will want to have our missionaries in their own nations. Then, because these people represent their governments-when we send our missionaries we will have our stronghold on the national level. Then very soon, to each of those nations we can send our international mobile teams sweeping along whole nations. We need from one thousand to three thousand people for these teams. If by our doing this we can influence one nation in such a way, then the premier or president of the nation may want to invite our mobile team. Then we have a clear picture of how and how soon we can turn the whole world upside down. First of all, we must think that what we are applying is a wonderful, heavenly service. After sending out our missionaries to 120 nations, we can influence those nations, and by having the youth of those nations mobilize, we can form a new United Nations.

Master's Plan for the US - 1972, notes hand written by member from the words of Moon, for the pioneers

Excerpts from an interview in The Intercept (’HENRY KISSINGER’S BLOODY LEGACY’) with Murtaza Hussain interviewing Nick Turse, author of "Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam"

NT I talked to Greg Grandin, who’s a biographer of Henry Kissinger, and he estimated that, overall, Kissinger – who helped prolong the Vietnam War, facilitate genocides and Cambodia, East Timor, Bangladesh, accelerated civil wars in southern Africa, and also supported coups and death squads throughout Latin America – had the blood of about 3 million people on his hands in total. So, when you’re talking about the biggest criminals in modern history, this is a significant number of civilians that Henry Kissinger bears significant responsibility for their deaths.

MH: In 1973, some of our listeners may know Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And, in 1977, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He’s still pretty much a regular, or is considered a wise elder of the foreign policy circuit. Hillary Clinton said that he was one of her mentors.

NT: Yeah, Henry Kissinger is the ultimate political survivor, you know? And you can go back to the Nixon White House. Almost that entire White House was consumed by the Watergate scandal, but Henry Kissinger was able to come out unscathed and, actually, was lauded at the time, and was not only held over by Gerald Ford, but promoted then, to Secretary of State. So, you could see that Kissinger has, has, has found ways to survive, and a lot of that has been through courting the press.

You know, Henry Kissinger had always, for lack of a better term, manipulated the press. Had contacted key members of the press behind the scenes, drew them in, became a trusted source. And he was able to, for decades, just massage and manipulate his public image, and sell this idea of a great statesman, a great thinker.

And, you know, he was able to convince the media and the public that he was an exceptionally wise man, and able to brush off and dismiss claims even though these allegations of war crimes have dogged him.

When confronted, he generally shakes these things off. He will, when asked to address crimes, he’ll say that it’s actually those who call him a war criminal that are the problem, have the problem. That they are using this terminology in ways that demean and diminish the idea of war crimes, and he just dismisses it out of hand. And so many in the media elite have bought into this, and that it’s overblown or hyperbole, but I imagine that most of these people have never gone out and talked to, visited the people that Henry Kissinger’s actions have affected so intimately.

So, I came up with a plan. There was a state department conference on the Vietnam War back in 2010, and Kissinger was giving a keynote address, so I knew he’d be out in the clear and I’d have a shot. I decided I’d do an ambush interview.

And he gave a talk there, it was vintage Kissinger. I will always remember that he said that the great tragedy of the Vietnam War was that Americans lost faith in each other. You know, this is a war that killed millions of people in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, but this sort of tells you the Kissingerian mindset.

After he finished his talk, he took questions, so I was able to ask him one, publicly and on the record. I asked him to square public comments that he made to the U.S. Senate in 1973, that the U.S. didn’t bomb Cambodians, with the admission found in one of his books that his war had killed 50,000 Cambodians. And, you know, I said, “How can you kill 50,000 people, if you’re not bombing them?”

And, you know, Kissinger is a pro at obfuscation, and he responded with a wall of words that was designed to misdirect the audience and confuse the question. And I kept following up, but he had the advantage of having a microphone, and mine was taken away. You know, I couldn’t let it end there.

So, after the talk, I rushed down, and pushed myself into a scrum of Kissinger sycophants who were there waiting to shake his hand and take photos with him. And I’ll never forget, there was a guy in front of me, a State Department historian who had been listening to recordings that Kissinger had made while he was in the White House. And he told Kissinger that it was so sexy – those were his words – to listen to him, that the recordings had such sex appeal.

And when I got to Kissinger, I was the next one up, and it got less sexy real fast. And I took another shot at getting an answer from him. And, you know, I pressed him about the substance of my question, that Cambodians were bombed and killed, and he became visibly angry, and he asked me what I was trying to prove.

And, you know, I’ll never forget. He said – it was such an odd phrase – he said, “play with it,” to me. “Have a good time.”

But I still couldn’t let it go. So I asked him to answer the question that one of the Cambodian survivors had asked me. It was a woman named Mis Lauren, who had lost an older brother to a helicopter gunship attack, and an uncle and cousins to other attacks. And, for decades, this question haunted her. She said to me, “I still wonder why those aircraft always attacked us. Why did they drop the bombs here?”

You know, Kissinger was the architect of this American war, and I asked him to answer her question. But he came back to me with a sarcastic reply, and he said “I lack your intelligence and moral quality.” And he stomped his cane on the floor, and he stalked off, left the auditorium. And, the next two days, at the conference, I never saw him again. That was it, you know?

He was lucky, because the Cambodians in the villages I visited didn’t have the luxury of such an easy escape.
