The Korean War Baby will keep this out of the email bombing and LET US KEEP THIS ON OPEN LETTER format and on my blog. OKAY? DEAR Kim Su Rasmussen/SEO Kil Seung A word to the wise, DON'T USE CARBON COPY, YOU are breaking confidentiality by sending everyone's email addresses, shame on you!! You repeated the mistake of a certain K. M. J. P. (maybe vsg of GOA'L?). PERHAPS you meant to use BLIND CARBON COPY, LOOK IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER IN YAHOO EMAIL AND YOU WILL SEE 'Bcc'. Let's be careful to protect the PRIVACY of GOA'L MEMBERS. | ||
Dear Don Gordon Bell,
I ask you to stop your campaign of character defamation against GOA'L and a wide range of individuals, including but not limited to Daewon Wenger, Nicole Sheppard, Kim Stoker, and myself. Your rhetoric of warfare, brute violence, and religious zeal--backed up by frequent references to your military and religious background--is unacceptable. For example, when you write on your blog a list of names in red and explicitly explain that it means they are dead to you (This is a common phrase that means I don't want anything to do with ME-perhaps not understood by 'dangerousVikings'?), this is easily interpreted as a veiled threat of violence or even murder. (Oh PLEASE, Spare me YOUR hyperbolic exaggerations) Your words have directly and strongly affected a number of individuals by making them feel unsafe and vulnerable to physical assaults. (What say you, Readers? Are THEY feeling unsafe/vulnerable because of ME-OR is it because the election was marred with unsuccessful, undemocratic, European Rules of Order, and just plain baloney stuff?)
That is a fact. Your belated attempts to retract on your statements by explaining it was merely meant in a metaphoric or allegorical sense does not lessen the impact is has and has had on these individuals. You need to stop your writings. Period.
(Most people recognize the style of satire, wit, Saturday Night Live style, WRITING that I employ...I have usually made sure that I made certain that it IS not a "physical bayonet" but MY WORDS that will be used. "Take off the sheath of my bayonet" or "Precision guided munitions". DO I HAVE 'SMART BOMBS'? OR am I not using the idea of precise accurate information aimed at destroying the 'strawman' agrument SOME PEOPLE now use of implied violence. Doesn't wash. This is MY TEA PARTY!!)
Your claims of "excavating" some conspiracy with secret agendas and malicious intentions belong to the realm of pure imagination. There is and never has been any attempt to politicize GOA'L in the sense of swaying the organization against transnational adoption. That is a fact.
(FACT: Most of the Group of 33 {nicer than Gang} were lead by a lead group of Eleven. The leadership group of "Eleven elves"
orchestrated the voting Against, the rest 22 'ronins' including #24 voted WITH or VOTED TO ABSTAIN.
ANSWER MY CHARGES-DID YOU CHANGE/ALTER/COVER-UP THE AGM REPORT?)
What I have proposed, repeatedly and publicly without attempting to hide my views, is for GOA'L to become a stronger advocate for the interests of the adoptee community in
DO YOU SEE? KADLinK ONLY, not for the GLOBAL Community!! GOTCHA, Duuuude.
In order to effectively advocate for the common interests of all the adoptees, however, it is necessary in my view for GOA'L to have democratic legitimacy by obtaining the consent of the majority of the community.
(Which community? LOCAL or Global???)
Currently, no individual or organization has any representative legitimacy to speak on behalf of the community. In other words, in order for GOA'L to effectively represent and advocate for the interests of the adoptee community in
...it needs to become democratic and organize politically.
Start KADLinK (Korean ADoptees Living in Korea), you can do it for them...
Here, however, the word "political" has nothing to do with "continuing" or "stopping" transnational adoption. (Why is it that most of the "ELEVEN ELVES" are ALL members of groups that actively engaged in STOPPING ICA/Overseas Adoptions even domestic/civil only advocating for Unwed Mothers. PRAY TELL US?)
Your claims of "waging war" against GOA'L in order to redress an allegedly illegitimate election belongs to the realm of some cheap political thriller.
Think you mean "Cheap Political Theater" but I will be a FOOL if necessary to insure that those children who are continuing to be rejected by the Korean People are ALLOWED TO BE Exported to loving families!!!
What you call the "gang of 33" was, as a matter of fact, the simple majority of the constituent members eligible to vote at the general meeting. (TRUE because GLOBAL means nothing if ONLY KADLinK can vote. PERIOD) How is the vote of the majority of the eligible members illegitimate? (They also voted to NOT allow electronic voting in the NEXT election in 2012!!!) Although we might discuss whether the articles of incorporation are appropriate, despite whatever claims you make to the contrary, the election was carried out in a manner consistent with GOAL's articles of incorporation. (WELL, NO, check my facts and evidence instead of spurious charges of "threats of violence and murder") In fact, if there was anything irregular about the general meeting, it was due to you.
Without any authority or legitimacy to do so, you passed out your private slips on which you encouraged the members of GOAL to vote;
(Before the start of AGM on 27 March, 2010...I showed SG Wenger these 100 numbered ballots that I had prepared for the election-knowing how hard pressed the GOA'L staff usually has been preparing for such events. I had all the names properly spelled, with Write In empty spaces for Community Board:
Jan Wenger told me 'sure we can use them' THEN failed to tell the staff. Instead tiny
pieces of paper were used for SG candidates and Community (in Korea only) Board candidates. ...SO, I DID HAVE PERMISSION, BUT THAT WAS NOT PASSED ON by the SG to his staff.)
...you repeatedly interrupted the general meeting by making irrelevant comments; (I Asked to be recognized by the "Chairman of the Board" OOPS, guess he couldn't make it, Did he OFFICIALLY appoint the Secretary General? I was ignored!!! That is not the Rules of Order for any place!!!
"Recognition; then Point of Order" on Abstention Votes was NOT allowed but according to "Robert's Rules of Order" for NGO's in USA and that Korea ALSO follows, I was not recognized and allowed to raise my 'point of order'.
One person protested that a couple of "Guests" were also voting! They were asked to stand on the sidelines.)
...and you--as you proudly boasted--voted for "Mickey Mouse". (Again in America we say "This was so Mickey Mouse" to mean it was like a cartoon character, NOT REAL!!! Where is the vote for MICKEY MOUSE? Animal RIGHTS!!)
You, more than anybody present at the GM, were causing confusion, wasted everybody's time, and seemingly attempted to sabotage the GM and make a mockery of the election. That is a fact.
I, as a Founding Member of GLOBAL Overseas Adoptees' Link, tried to protested strongly the Undemocratic means that YOU and your other Eleven Elves, plus 22 misguided ones, were attempting to Politicize (for what reasons you have undeclared until NOW). But you FAILED to FOLLOW the RULES therefore your election is unworthy, MOOT and just a HOOTER.
ANSWER MY CHARGES, WHY WAS THE REPORT ALTERED??
Your claims of attempting to redress a wrong-doing has absolutely no foundation in reality. (I have present the reality of physical documentation-where is your evidence?)
Your method of persuasion has little to no connection with rational thinking.
(Can a Rational mind consider "salvos of written words with illustrations from Movie clips, photos, etc. as REALLY EXPLICIT/IMPLICIT Threats, even Murder? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Who is the Village FOOL?)
Rather, it includes writing a lot of intimidating stuff on a blog that previously nobody was paying attention to; (already addressed I had thousands of hits BEFORE election) it includes explicit and implicit threats of violence; and it includes public character defamation that seeks to cause scandal, suspicion, and generally hurt the reputation of your targets.
(Uh...Questioning relationships, asking for clarity, exposing questionable methods, etc. WHY THIS IS HORRIBLE, should I just Walk away like SOME PEOPLE want me to do?)
Your method of persuasion bear the hallmarks of gangsterism and political terror, which are in direct conflict with the peaceful democratic procedures that you allegedly seek to defend. That is also a fact.
(The fact is that YOU used these methods to promote your KADLinK agenda which includes stopping InterCountry Adoptions yet ignoring the FACTS of CIVIL CODE adoptions plus "Domestic Adoptions. Together they may be 3 to 1 ratio, meaning for every child adopted OVERSEAS there are THREE adopted In-Country and 97.8% are SECRET. READ MY FACT AND HyperLinks to Fact-check! Don't believe me.
Your so-called demands for this or that can only be interpreted as either veiled threats or complete nonsense. Hitherto, since I have met you in person and talked with you on several occasions, I have interpreted your writings as 
complete nonsense, the sorry ramblings of the village fool, and therefore I have remained silent with the hope that you would eventually stop.
In fact, I hope you will seek professional help in working through your personal traumas.
(Let us see WHO will NEED Professional help, say months from NOW, Hmmm?)
However, you continue your campaign, threaten my friends, and generally create havoc in our small community. (Thank you for again telling us what I FOOLISHLY tried, KAD's NOT living in Korea are "Shit outta luck")
Whatever the "larger purpose" of your campaign has been, it needs to stop immediately. My name has been mentioned repeatedly in the posts on your blog, in the emails you have distributed to god knows whom, and the endless ramblings online. It is my guess that your writings would qualify as a clear and undisputed case of "defamation of character" or, in other terms, "slander and libel".
(Leave Mickey Mouse alone!!! Please let me look up in my online diccionary S & L, this here KWB fool just doesn't get it, Is that a new Rap duo?
Unless you willingly stop writing emails and online posts in which you intimidate people and threaten them with violence, including me, I will have to take legal steps. And, yes, that is also a fact.
Bring it on...fellow KADLinK, "lock and load" Oops, What was THAT sound?!!
Sincerely,
Kim Su Rasmussen (KADLinK, formerly known as Seo KilSeung)
PS. Apologies for cross-posting.
YES, YOU repeated the "CARBON COPY, not BLIND CC" MISTAKE.
An OFFER YOU CANNOT REFUSE
COMING SOON on "Cheap Political Theater"
I was at the AGM on 27 March. I had no idea what was going on with Goal and only joined that day to vote. But I was shocked at all the confusion. I could not understand why Molly Holt was not re-elected. What is going on over here?
ReplyDeleteThey DID vote to Abstain!! Several times they asked to raise hands FOR, AGAINST, AND ABSTAINING.
What happened to the "Abstaining votes?" This was a bogus election, and after wards I demanded my membership fees back in protest.
