This thread is worth reading.

That timeline, oh my god...

'' hoi has strongarmed Korean conglomerates into donating money to her 'foundations', threatening them that their businesses will be harmed by the government if they don't (basically extortion)
Choi apparently leads a select group of eight advisers including a gigolo and a K-pop video director who control everything Park does and shamanistic rituals regularly take place in government buildings ''

A ~~quick~~ TL;DR version of events up till now:

- In 1974, a North Korean sympathizer tries to assassinate the dictator of South Korea but misses and kills his wife instead
- A preacher/cult leader, Choi Tae-min, contacts the Park Gun-hye (dictators daughter) and says she can communicate to her mother
- He gains unlimited influence over her and earns huge sums for access to the dictator's daughter and in effect, the government
- The dictator is assassinated in 1979 and a military dictator takes over, thus the cult leader loses his influence, but still has control over Park Gun Hye
- In 1990 Park Gun-hye's sister writes to the government asking them to save her sister from Choi Tae-min
- Choi Tae-min dies in 1994 and his daughter Choi Sun-sil takes over, continuing to work with Park
- Park Gun Hye runs for office and becomes an elected official in 1998
- In 2007 she runs for President, but loses her parties nomination. At this point the US embassy points out to the US government about her history with the cult leader, revealed in [WikiLeaks](https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07SEOUL2178_a.html) cables.
- In 2012, she runs again and wins the election. Choi Sun-sil is in charge of producing the inauguration ceremony
- Her public behavior as President is erratic and very rarely gives any press conferences. Her speeches are described as rambling and full of odd wording
- Fast forward to 2016 and there is a scandal about Choi Sun-sil's daughter getting in to a prestigious Korean university and preferential treatment despite not getting the grades or attending classes
- Choi Sun-sil and her daughter flee to Germany to get away from the scandal
- The Korean cable TV network JTBC [somehow got its hands on an 'abandoned tablet](http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2016/10/28/2016102801254.html)' in Choi Sun-sil's former office which contains evidence that she was given confidential government files including upcoming speeches and government papers despite not being in public office
- Park apologizes but says that she hasn't consulted with Choi since early days in her presidency
- More evidence comes out from the files and witnesses that Choi had complete influence over Park, from rewriting speeches to choosing/making her clothes for official engagements, and was doing so right up to earlier this year
- Choi has strongarmed Korean conglomerates into donating money to her 'foundations', threatening them that their businesses will be harmed by the government if they don't (basically extortion)
- Choi apparently leads a select group of eight advisers including a gigolo and a K-pop video director who control everything Park does and shamanistic rituals regularly take place in government buildings
- Protests have been raging for weeks about these revelations. Hundred's of thousands of South Koreans have been protesting and calling for her to quit.
- As of 4:10pm Seoul time, prime minister Hwang Kyo-ahn has become the acting president of South Korea as this vote still has to go through South Korea's constitutional court with a maximum of 180 days to decide impeachment.

Unoriginal analogy - If Tom Cruise became president and we found out that Scientology was controlling him while using their power to extort businesses in trade for influence.

Pizzagate is 100% fake - there's no extant evidence for anything of the sort. Just look at the historical precedent of political sex-rings - they tend to happen at private parties and in non-public buildings. When you engage in illicit activities in public the probability that somebody will say something is just too high because there are non-guilty parties present who have some sort of authority.

Which is exactly what happened with this deal in Korea. When you perform strange shamanistic rituals in government offices staffed by civil service members who are not necessarily loyal to the individual in charge they will say scandalous things about it - rumors about these strange behaviors have been going around for years in Korean news sources. But there's nothing strictly illegal/reprehensible about having a trusted spiritual advisor or engaging in strange shamanistic rituals in an of itself. But because the former 2 things are so strange they invite additional attention and then all the dirty laundry gets found. Similar scandals have occurred in the US actually - Reagan consulted astrologers and quoted horoscopes to friends - as did FDR - President Wilson even regularly consulted a personal psychic. Those three in particular ended up receiving media attention they would've rather not have had as a result lol.

i honestly cant believe that baseless shit like pizzagate is somehow becoming more and more mainstream of an opinion
ofc the podesta emails look scary if you replace every instance of "pizza" with "child sex ring"

Listen, I'm allergic to dairy, can I get a pizza without dairy? Also no tomatoes? And gluten free? Basically, just throw all the meat you got into a bowl, and we'll call it good.

Okay I see that there are people that don't think this is a real thing.
I will nicely ask you to view this introductory material and judge for yourself. I remember seeing a much better infograph, but I can't find it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.
All these things by themselves wouldn't mean much, but there is too much weird coincidences here.
