Ban also said his farewell to President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and the U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice at the White House this morning. During the meeting, President Obama commended Ban's achievements that "international politics is full of complex and difficult issues, just like baseball (when compared to sports). In baseball, you are a slugger if you show a batting average of 0.3, and Secretary General Ban also successfully overcame international issues (like a 0.3 batter)." "President Obama hit numerous homeruns in various issues such as climate change," Ban said.

He has shamed South Korea and failed the world.
All those years and he achieved nothing.

- Millions of people have died.
- His troops are still trafficking and fucking children.
- There has been zero reform of the security council.
- The bureaucracy is still burdensome and over paid.

When the host of the show later informs Park that he was caught on tape, that what he has done to an underage girl is a crime both in Chile and in Korea and that Park’s actions will be reported to the police, the diplomat says he will not meet with minors anymore and begs not to be reported to the police, saying, “please, please.”

The documentary program producers began shadowing Park after receiving a tip that the official had sexually harassed an underage local female student he was teaching Korean language to back in September. The producers hired a 20-year-old woman to pose as a 13-year-old student and approach Park. They communicated over Facebook and met at a park.

The program describes Park as being responsible for the promotion of Korean culture, such as K-pop, to Chilean youth. The parents of the original girl who tipped off police about Park also appear on the show, expressing sorrow at what their daughter faced. The girl reported the harassment to Chilean police.

The Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed last week that a diplomat in South America faces charges of sexually harassing local minors. A Foreign Ministry official elaborated that the diplomat, who taught Korean at a local school, faces charges of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old female student on campus in September.

Despite the recalled official having diplomatic immunity, the ministry here said it plans to cooperate with Chilean police in the investigation process. Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se was reported to have said at a meeting of senior officials Monday that the situation was one that “should not be tolerated” and called for “disciplinary actions certainly, and, if necessary, criminal proceedings.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs "is extremely sorry for the occurrence and plans to tighten discipline in order to prevent a repeat of similar cases," it said in a press release.

The South Korean ambassador to Chile is also set to make an official apology over the incident, according to the ministry.

The ministry said it will summon the diplomat who remains in Chile although he has been suspended from his duties. It said if his wrongdoing is confirmed, he will face criminal punishment by the legal process as well as punitive measures from the ministry.

It will also cooperate with the Chilean police on the investigation into the case even though the diplomat holds immunity from criminal charges in his host country.

Korean communities in Chile, comprised of about 3,000 Korean residents, are worried the case might have a negative impact on the country's image. Chile is one of the Latin American countries where hallyu, or the Korean wave, has been gaining popularity.

Many Korean internet users are criticizing Park. "He should be ostracized from
society," a blogger with ID barb**** said. "He is a national disgrace."

But the prosecution pushed ahead, and Kim was sentenced to three years in prison by the Supreme Court last year for professional negligence and making false reports.

Many of the prosecutors who led the investigation, however, were later demoted to other posts regarded as less important. Byun Chan-woo, head of the prosecutor's office, and Lee Do-sik, another senior prosecutor there, left the prosecution.

Opposition lawmakers immediately reacted to the fresh revelations, urging Park Young-soo, the special prosecutor appointed to investigate the Choi Soon-sil scandal, to look into them as well.

"The special prosecutor should conduct a thorough investigation to find out whether Hwang influenced the Sewol probe," said Rep. Keum Tae-sup, spokesman of the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK).

In a press release on Friday, Hwang denied all allegations.

The ministry echoed his denial. Referring to what sources described as "interferences," the ministry claimed they were just a normal part of work processes. It also insisted the personnel transfer was made according to the rules and their performances.

Under the Park administration, Hwang served as justice minister from March 2013 to June 2015 before taking the prime minister position. He has been in charge of state affairs since President Park was impeached by the National Assembly on Nov. 9.

>The report, by a team of authors, offers a window into the ever-evolving world of synthetic drugs, which are growing increasingly powerful even as the makers of the illicit substances continue to create new chemical compounds to evade detection.

>The drugs are usually described by the generic shorthand “synthetic marijuana,” but Roy Gerona, a clinical chemist at the University of California, San Francisco, who helped write the report, said the term was dangerously misleading.

>“There is this false idea out there that these drugs are safe, because no one overdoses on marijuana,” he said.

>But the drug used in Brooklyn — which went by the street name AK-47 24 Karat Gold — was 85 times as potent as the main agent in plant-grown marijuana, THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, according to lab tests.

>In fact, synthetic cannabinoids have a completely different chemical structure from plant-based THC, according to the study — one of the major draws for both makers and consumers of designer drugs.

>These chemical compounds, often created in labs in China based on research conducted at western universities and pharmaceutical companies, are not regulated when they appear on the market and are hard to detect.

>“And if you are someone who is regularly drug tested, it will not show up,” adding to the drugs’ appeal, Mr. Gerona said.

>He traced the history of synthetic drugs back to Clemson University and a researcher, John W. Huffman, who was looking for ways to create a drug in the lab that could enhance the medicinal aspects of THC while eliminating the psychotropic effects.
....

>In the course of his work, Mr. Huffman synthesized more than 300 compounds, and his work was published in academic literature.

>Not long after, in about 2008, a synthetic compound began appearing on the street, called K2 in America and Spice in Europe. The main chemical agent, known as JWH-18, was named after the Clemson researcher.

>Soon JWH-18 was showing up around the country and was eventually scheduled as a Class 1 narcotic.

>The drug makers would have to evolve to stay one step ahead of law enforcement.

>In the case of the drug in the Brooklyn outbreak, Pfizer established a patent for a synthetic cannabinoid it called AB-FUBINACA in 2009. The drug seems to have been abandoned by the company and was never tested on humans.

>But the patent is public, and Mr. Gerona said that drug labs in China and other foreign nations scour patents for information that can be useful in creating the next class of drugs.

>These drugs move straight from the lab to the street, so the first trials of their effects are conducted on buyers.

>AMB-FUBINACA was 50 times as powerful than that first generation of designer drugs like K2, according to the study.
...

>As the drugs become more potent, the way they are mixed by middlemen becomes more crucial — with a slight miscalculation having possibly devastating effects.

>In Brooklyn, Mr. Gerona said, it seemed someone had gotten the dosing wrong.

>The result: users falling into a trancelike state, groaning and moaning, their eyes lifeless and their movements slow and seemingly mechanical.

>For the first time, the researchers break down how much money can be made from a product like AMB-FUBINACA.

>The way the market works is simple. Overseas labs create a new compound and often use hidden websites — also referred to as the dark web — to market and sell the product.

>Online, according to the researchers, AMB-FUBINACA could be found in powder form, selling for $1.95 to $3.80 a gram, or $1,950 to $3,800 a kilogram. It is then mixed in with cheap herbal products, allowing users to smoke the drug.

>A sample of the drug recovered in Brooklyn contained 16 milligrams of AMB-FUBINACA per gram of smokable mixture.

>So 1 kilogram of AMB-FUBINACA could be portioned out over 15,625 doses, with a typical street price of $35. That means the dealer stands to make close to $500,000.
...

This is how it's done:

I always wonder why certain groups get bullied and others do not.

It doesn't make any sense, for example, that more intelligent people are the ones who get bullied, rather than the less intelligent.

So why does this happen? It's purely because the less intelligent are in the majority. Using groupthink, they intuit that given their greater numbers, they can more easily jump those who are in the minority, should they so choose. That's all there is to this.

Q: The US Forces Korea Commander Vincent Brooks reportedly said on November 4 that the US would deploy the THAAD system in the ROK within eight to ten months, and that the size of the THAAD battery would be bigger than the one deployed in Guam. How do you respond?

A: The US deployment of the THAAD system in the ROK disturbs the strategic balance in the region, jeopardizes the strategic and security interests of relevant countries in the region including China, and runs counter to the efforts to safeguard peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula. China has repeatedly expressed its concerns and firm opposition on this issue, and will take resolute and necessary steps to protect its security interests. We urge relevant countries to address China's justifiable concerns and put an immediate end to the deployment process.

I'd also like to point out that the current situation on the Korean Peninsula is rather fragile, sensitive and complex. We hope that the US and the ROK can do more things conducive to peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and stop inciting conflicts or escalating tension.

>>82000
It looks like the next US president will have to address this immediately after the election. There is no way it will be allowed to leak into the partisan campaigns at this point.
