Insurrection Under the Mask of Law

Insurrection Under the Mask of Law

 

                    The Bible teaches, "For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God (Romans 13:1)." This implies that power is a 'stewardship' entrusted within the order established by God to realize justice and protect the lives of the people. However, the forces that have seized control of the legislature in the Republic of Korea today are wielding this sacred instrument as a weapon to paralyze national functions, directly challenging the order established by God.

                    We must redefine 'insurrection.' A true insurrection is not limited to armed riots. According to Article 91 of the Criminal Act of the Republic of Korea, "subversion of the Constitution"—namely, any attempt to make it impossible to exercise the powers of state institutions or to extinguish the functions of the law—is a substantial insurrection. The practice of cutting the lifeblood of the national budget by holding it hostage, abusing impeachment as an everyday weapon to bind the hands and feet of the executive branch, and attempting to turn the judiciary into political spoils is a 'silent usurpation' that destroys the liberal democratic system from within.

                    An even more terrifying fact is that this legislative tyranny is not merely a political struggle; it is aligned with the strategies of the Chinese Communist Party to collapse the Republic of Korea from the inside. Socialist and totalitarian bills that infringe upon individual liberty and private property—the foundations of liberal democracy—and infinitely expand state control are deliberate steps to push the Republic of Korea under the influence of massive communist power. They are wearing the outer garment of the law while slowly stopping the heart of a free Republic of Korea.

                    At a desperate moment when such subversion of the Constitution reached its peak and national operation became virtually impossible, former President Yoon Suk-yeol was left with no choice but to opt for emergency martial law, the final card for national survival and the defense of liberal democracy. Although it was lifted within two hours in accordance with constitutional procedures, it was a desperate defensive measure that revealed the extent to which the Republic of Korea had fallen into a serious state of insurrection caused by anti-state forces that usurped legislative power.

                    The Bible declares, "Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression (Isaiah 10:1)." The rule of law is by no means a tool to suffocate an opponent with the power of the majority. If legislative power reigns over the executive and attempts to treat the judiciary as a servant, the Constitution is already dead, and a state of insurrection under dictatorship has begun.

                    Now, the people must awaken. We must clearly see the red strategy and the conspiracy for regime subversion hidden behind the mask of the law. To prevent this nation, built upon the justice of God, from being swallowed by the darkness of communism and totalitarianism, we must firmly stand against this deceptive 'institutional insurrection.' On the day those who destroy the Constitution are judged before the sovereign people and history, the Republic of Korea will finally recover true freedom.
