Is anyone paying attention to the lunacy going on in South Korea?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/30/south-korea-rasputin-like-friend-president-park-geun-hye-returns

As far as I can tell, the South Korean President Park is in the thrall of a death cult.

The current President Park's mother was murdered when she was a kid (her dad was President). She was given to this shamanistic/Confucian/Christian cult and she may have borne the child of the cult leader in her teens.

Fast forward through the decades, cult leader dies about 22 years ago. About 2 or 3 years ago President Park is elected. On the 20th anniversary of the death of the cult leader a ferry owned by a billionaire fellow cultist goes down under very suspicious circumstances. Over 400 people, mostly children died. Billionaire dies under weird circumstances a few weeks later. BTW, billionaire had a mass suicide/murder at one of his factories some decades ago.

Anyway, cultist daughter controls the President, down to telling her what to wear and editing her speeches.

This is all too weird.

Just what I have learned reading the international press and talking to some Koreans. It is all my words, many of it rumor.

It is absolute madness even the admitted stuff.

President and was raised by a cult? If not, who is it. I saw something about Rasputin so I assume someone close to her is involved. Please clarify for me.

Rasputin is the daughter of cult leader who raised (and maybe had a baby with) the current President Park.

On edit:. Look it up. US politics has nothing on this.

One theory out there was David Bowie was the nail holding reality together.
