Opinion: North Korea head a nuclear disarmament conference is just satirical

Ambassador TAE SONG HAN of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, President of the Conference on Disarmament, said that it was an honour and privilege for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to assume the presidency of the Conference. Ambassador Han congratulated his predecessor, the Ambassador of Cuba, who had made considerable efforts to take the Conference forward during his presidency. He also expressed gratitude to the Chinese and Cuban presidencies for their valuable contributions in establishing the five subsidiary bodies. He recalled that the United Nations Charter obligated all delegates to work collectively for achieving peace and security for all nations. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea remained committed to contributing to global peace and disarmament and attached importance to the work of the Conference on Disarmament. The Conference was the single multilateral disarmament negotiating forum and had a role to play in ensuring global peace and security. Throughout the presidency, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea would be guided by the rules of procedure, in particular rule 18. It would respect every delegation’s position when organizing the business of the Conference, while promoting a positive atmosphere of building trust, cooperation and productive dialogue among members” (UN Geneva – ‘Conference on Disarmament Holds First Plenary under the Presidency of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’ 02.06.2022).

The three last Presidents of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) or North Korea has worked to produce and the ability to build nuclear weapons. The North Koreans has used all tactics, metrics and markets to get a hold on technology or ability to make nuclear weapons. This has been done by all the leaders of Pyongyang. Therefore, the acknowledgment and the recognition of DPRK in the UN body of the disarmament conference of nuclear weapons is foolishness.

This isn’t the place or the sort of forum where the North Korean state has anything to do. They are neither believable or a representative state for that matter. The DPRK would sell their peasants as slave labour to get the right scientists, uranium and possible technical facility to build a “fat man” or a “little man” in 2022.

That’s why the news of DPRK working and representing this UN body or conference is ridiculous. It is like we supposed to take a blind eye or forget about what the DPRK have been working on for all these years.

It is the sort of propaganda victory and perfect for internal spin. That the DPRK see this as a way of legitimizing itself. DPRK can really build upon this… and everyone else should speak out about it. Because, this doesn’t make sense. This is like letting the criminals run the investigation into the crimes they are committing on a regular basis.

Pyongyang will get heat for this and righteously so. Since it doesn’t make sense that the DPRK is leading this… Peace.

Opinion: PPCRV cannot save COMELEC [on the 68:32 Magic]

The poll watchdog Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) cannot vindicate the Commission on Elections (COMELEC). The results are easily questionable by the action happening on the day of the polls. Especially, when there is so much news of faulty machines, SD-Cards not working and ballots not processed while the voter are in the proximity of the vote. Therefore, the rate of the announcing partial results and such begs you too question it all too.

Then you have the margins and the statistical anomaly, which was repetitive in the manner of announcement of the results of the polls. That was not showing difference of regions, areas or even amount of voters. Still, the percentage was stagnate and at the same levels without any shift. This is why you beg to question it and wonder what the heck is going on. Because, that doesn’t make sense, that the various of polling stations, regions and alike voted in comparison and within the same percentage as a total with every update. That just sounds strange too me.

The PPCRV can say it’s “Big Data” and “Big Numbers” but even they got to understand why people are wondering. The 68:32 Magic will follow this election cycle. Just like all the scrutiny for every voter who was not allowed to enter and vote. All the voters who didn’t get receipts and could verify if their vote was really cast. Because, of technical difficulties.

The PPCRV who is canvassing and checking the results of the polls is most likely right about their assessment, but the facts remains that the COMELEC didn’t fulfil their mission and that’s why people are questioning the results. If everything had gone well, if there wasn’t discrepancies and electioneering on the polling day. Then we wouldn’t be here and we wouldn’t wonder if everything was on the up-and-up.

For me this isn’t about the candidacy of Ferdinand “Bong Bong” Marcos Junior or such. No, this is systemic issues and the manner of which things went down. If the COMELEC had everything sorted out and there was no outcry of technical difficulties. If there was no one who was turned away and didn’t close the polling stations early. While there was also so swift ability to get the results announced after the hardships of actually casting the ballots. Therefore, the reasons for wondering isn’t about Marcos, but about the ones who was running the show.

The problem is the perception and what went down. The PPCRV can say it and it can be true. However, at the same time… they are vindicating COMELEC for their lacking and unprofessional manner of which they were not technically prepared for the polls. While they hired companies, appointees secured the venues and the ballots too. They had the time to prepare for this and ensure it all would end well. Nevertheless, it wasn’t all free and fair… and it wasn’t without it’s faults.

That’s why people are speculating and wondering about the announced results. This is why I questioned it too, because it didn’t make sense and how the partial results was announced without any shift or significant change of percentages between the two main candidates for President. That is what’s the issue and this cannot be taken away with a statement.

COMELEC should release the servers and the numbers for scholars to crunch and show what went down. The results forms should be digitally available and make it possible for a mathematician to break the numbers down. Alas, PPCRV cannot save the COMELEC here. They are indirectly trying to salvage it, but it doesn’t patch the hurt.

The only thing it does… that people like me want more transparency and don’t want to be fooled. Who won? Well, most like BBM, but we need it to be proven, as the margins of error is there and they shouldn’t have been here in the first place. Peace.
