2. Was going to look up the name of Korean "shamanism" - instead of my having guessed at it (what if I was wrong) - and came across the rather alarming:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Superstition_Movement
(Wacky as at today.)
The wacky page on the larger/overall Saemaeul Movement/New Community movement:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saemaeul_Movement
After declaring it was a great success and after listing its features/points of implementation (carefully not mentioning the systematic destruction of Korea's native religion) it seems the christowest has learnt and threatens to repeat the pattern:
I observe Africa is one of the world's fastest christianising continents (forcibly christianising, by all accounts - including missionary brainwashing against ancestral heathenism, as also happens in India).
On the page of this anti-Chendogyo dictator, Park Chung Hee, it says his religion is Buddhism.
Seems more cryptochristian to me. But if he was really Buddhist after all - though it wouldn't be the first time Buddhists forcefully suppressed in exactly this manner the native religion of E, SE and Himalayan Asian populations - again: If Park really was Buddhist after all, then perhaps the 1980s/1990s/ongoing christo-attack on Buddhism in Korea - also documented in the buddhapia site - is inevitable, considering the systematic suppression and destruction of native Korean religion in the 1970s. And after all, neither christianism nor Buddhism (nor Confucianism) are the native religions of Korea.
Still, wouldn't be surprised if Park turned out to be cryptochristo in the end.
Unfortunately, Korean native religion is still under attack from christianism - even though Korean Buddhism's plight is far more frequently highlighted. I remember seeing a Korean film on the plane a couple of years back that turned out to be a christodawaganda film at the end. I should have seen it coming perhaps, but the christianism and obvious new-age spin on Korean religion (as only non-heathens could have presented it) only dawned on me gradually, I thought it was just a bad comedy. The plot: some modern Korean twenty-somethings making a living out of the special skills they were born with such as future-forecasting* and essentially ruining other couples' happy unions by declaring that the people they were with weren't the ones they were meant to be with. Then the film ended with the main girl realising that the one that her skills had circled out for her wasn't the one she wanted and she went with the goofy guy she had had a love-hate relationship with from the start. There was also a special case of a couple that she had broken up by particularly advising they shouldn't get together because they weren't meant to be, but then they converted to christianism and had a happy church wedding and marriage (typical christian dawaganda: that conversion to christianism will save you from alleged Korean religious "fatalism". Uh please.)
* Some angry transnational abductees of Korean ancestry find they are not quite "normal" but can't explain what they are. I always thought they must have inherited/innate abilities owing to their heathen Korean ancestry. Christowest kidnapped a lot of heathen children from their parents after all.
Some of the current revival of Korean heathenisms that I've seen described some years back (but they're perhaps biased since they were described in US newspapers) tend to be a bit on the new-age side, since there are a large number of ex-christoconverts reverts - new ageism is inevitable I suppose when ex-christos revert without a properly established heathen support structure/society as base to rehabilitate them properly into their ancestral heathenism. And Korean heathenism did take a serious knock.
Anyway, in all that misery, there's also a warning for Hindus in what the anti-"superstitition" movement meant for the native Korean religion. The "anti-superstition laws" implemented against Hindus are very much a christian plan with far-reaching consequences. 1970s is not that long back. It's not like christianism can't repeat such a 'miracle of christ' in India.

Quote:Anti-Superstition MovementSo the 1970s - 4 decades back or so - is when native Korean religion was murdered.
The anti-superstition movement (Hangul: 미ìâ¹Â ÃÆâ¬ÃÅŠìš´ëÂâ¢, Mishin Tapa Undong) was part of the Saemaeul Movement. [color="#0000FF"]In the anti-superstition movement, Korean shamanism and mythology was suppressed, leading to the destruction of shamanistic cults, which was replaced by Christianity.[/color]

Yi Seungman administration[edit]
In the Yi Seungman administration, Protestant [color="#0000FF"]Christians[/color] living in Jeju Island had an 'anti-superstition movement', where they sought to restrain Korean shamanism and its pantheon of [color="#0000FF"]18,000 deities[/color].[1] However, the movement had little effect on the Jeju Islanders.
Park Jeongheui administration[edit]
[color="#0000FF"]Park Jeongheui[/color], the dictator of South Korea, was the leader of the Saemaeul movement, which sought to modernize Korea. Under the logo 'Along with economic wealth, we seek a psychologically healthy cultural life with degree', shamanism was suppressed as 'superstition', 'psychologically unhealthy', and 'without degree'.
Whenever a Gut, or shamanistic ritual, was held, government officials ordered that the ritual must cease. Additionally, officials destroyed holy trees, totem poles, and cairns and illegalized all forms of shamanistic rituals. Shamans were forced to vow that they had to give up their religion.
In response, many people held private Gut rituals. However, the government said that Guts were an inconvenience to the neighbours, and imprisoned shamans who had participated in private Guts.
[color="#800080"](Exactly what christianism did to the Hellenes during the twilight of Hellenismos in the Roman empire)[/color]
In many regions, shamans were imprisoned, and their holy tools (sword, bell, fan, drum, et cetera) were taken away by the police. Officials also hired teenagers to run into the midst of shamanistic rituals, forcing the ritual to be stopped.
Legacy[edit]
Shamanistic beliefs were greatly weakened. [color="#0000FF"]Among the one hundred holy places in Jeju Island, only twenty or thirty, such as the holy trees of Waheul Village, survived the anti-superstition movement.[/color]
However, the movement sometimes unified the sentiments of the villagers. In some villages, the villagers, led by the oldest man in the village, picketed around the holy places to protect them. The holy places in such villages were saved. Meanwhile, other villages restored the destroyed or damaged holy places.[2]

The wacky page on the larger/overall Saemaeul Movement/New Community movement:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saemaeul_Movement
Quote:The New Community Movement, also known as the New Village Movement, Saemaeul Movement or Saemaul Movement, was a political initiative launched on April 22, 1970 by South Korean president Park Chung Hee (ë°â¢Ã¬Â â¢Ã¬, æÅ´æ£çâ â¢) to modernize the rural South Korean economy.

Quote:Going international[edit]
[color="#0000FF"]The Saemaul Movement has been accepted by the United Nations as one of the efficient rural development models in the world.[/color] The Economic Commission for [color="#0000FF"]Africa[/color] (ECA) has decided to select the Saemaul Movement as a base model for the Sustainable Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Transformation (SMART) program in 2008.[5] Also, the movement has been exported to more than 70 countries, sharing the rural development experience world-wide.
