The Purge Revolution — It began with two words on Truth Social.In the Korean media, the U.S.–Korea summit was hailed as a “Summit.” Trump, however, labeled it a “meeting.” That one word drew the line between protocol, prestige, and trust. On that day—no military honor guard, Blair House vacated, only the wind dancing over the runway—two words flashed on Trump’s Truth Social: Purge and Revolution.To Western audiences, the gravity is immediate: internal purge, systemic revolt. This was never a throwaway joke. It was the opening salvo of unofficial diplomacy, one that shifts investment flows, alliance structures, and trust ratings.This book maps the past 100 days around that message. From South Korea’s legislative, media, and budget-authority consolidation into a totalitarian control loop, to the shock waves in religious freedom, to the organizing of Nepal’s Gen Z uprising—seemingly disparate events converge toward the axis of Purge / Revolution.“News speaks of today, but power designs tomorrow.”How a single line from Trump can reshape ceremony orders, guest rankings, investment projections, tariff tone, swap accords, and defense packages — and why the shadow cast by those words deepens as Korea slides into Chinese dependence, censorship framing, and debt-driven redistribution. From the 1997 financial crisis to ESG and supply chains, platform censorship to CBDC and digital identity, and the politics behind “swap = not money but a credit of hegemony”—all, in one sweep.The Purge Revolution does not amplify conspiracies. It lets you discern them. In its final chapter, you will ask:“Where do we stand — within a camp where freedom breathes, or on the ladder of control?”This is a real-time journalistic-political essay, written by one witness over 100 days, threading together events in South Korea and the world. Venezuela’s stolen elections and drug cartels, Puerto Rico’s landing drills, symbolic treatment of Korea vs. Poland in the U.S., how EU regulation twists global AI and platform order, and how a single act against religious freedom rings a totalitarian alarm.The Purge Revolution emerged from one message on Trump’s feed: WHAT’S GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA? It becomes our shared inquiry — a personal, urgent, diary-like political essay. “For them, borders may be debated — but freedom is nonnegotiable.”Perhaps the moment to defend South Korea’s last free habitat draws near.
