I spend most of my time in NYC being a street activist.

A Street Activist differs from an Armchair Activist in that we have direct experience with the communities that others might claim to understand or work with. (Media pundits, celebs and astroturf activists just repeat what the consensus is, as determined by those with power.) We are the "hands on" component and the workers of the movement! Our knowledge is traditionally undervalued and underreported by a media that focuses on those with money, power, and access.

We are encouraged to fight against and for celebrities and causes chosen by the "big and important" people. However my activism is specifically built to help the "little people." We are taught to prioritize the fights of others instead of our own.

I participate and am a member of all the groups. Democrats, Republicans, Greens, Libertarians, and more! I know each group's personnel, capabilities and perspective. As a Street activist I get closer to the epicenter of activity and therefore have a more accurate view of events than pundits and celebrities. I have been high and I have been low. I have run businesses and had several stints of homelessness since the age of 16 after running away from home. I have experienced failure and success in many fields.

I therefore have a broad perspective and understand the strengths and weaknesses of these different societal roles, their realities and the mindset that naturally forms in response to a range of conditions. Being with and without money taught me to understand social hierachy and to be resourceful, and it also showed me that the lifestyles of those with and without are not as far apart as ignorance might lead one to believe.

Being Korean American led me to at a young age to start to question the role of U.S. military forces abroad. Beyond the news reports that revealed American hypocricy regarding suppressing the development of democracy for violent dictators that would serve American interests, the violence I experienced at home, gave me a unique perspective and understanding regarding how violence is passed on generationally to war survivors.

My own narrative is hurled aside for celebrity millionaires reliving their glory days of resistance. And as they monopolize the resources and access to become millionaires using our pain and suffering, they leave the victims of war silenced and without aid.

Imagine a civil rights movement of the 70's with no black people. It would be rightfully viewed as absurd. Right now the anti-war movement has no war victims! Even white war victims from Russia and the Ukraine are silenced. Instead academics, celebrities, and the affluent have gentrified activism and steal from and exploit the victims of war to use our suffering to prop up their warped and self serving sense of moral righteousness.

The ongoing neglect for the issues of my people have led me to other communities that also remain unheard. This is an essential part of my activist identity and why I work with the true poor, the disabilites community, the homeless, the wrongfully incarcerated, street artists, and so forth. Groups that are also exploited by the gentrifiers of activism.

How far does this exploitation go? Recently Scott Ritter, a 2x convicted pedophile has been introduced into the anti-war movement. Even if you choose not to believe the conviction, why is Scott Ritter being marketed over actual war victims? Let me tell you why and Scott himself isn't really to blame. He has no real career prospects and has to take what he can get. But Scott Ritter is being pushed to normalize the sexual abuse going on at the top by the elites and the gatekeepers. Check the timing. He started getting pushed right after Nick Brana and Caleb Maupin underwent sex assault charges and this happened right around an event called, "Rage Against the War Machine" where both Brana and Caleb Maupin tag teamed and ran events after both were found to be abusing their staff with reports from multiple victims. It's ok for academics and the affluent to be a part of the movement, but it's not ok for them to push us out of the way and replace us. With their money they pick and choose to promote the incompetent who are easier to control.

I also serve as a warning bell for foreign communities, particularly those of Asian background to see what kind of treatment they can expect from American primacy, if the manufactured disregard for war victims is allowed to continue. Just as my accomplishments and sacrifice and suffering are erased from existence, I serve as an example to Asians in Asia to understand their future should they choose to assimilate into America's current framework. The Asian American man is America's cuck. Despite dominating academics for about 50 years, the fate of the loser is disregard and disrespect. Only power will get us fair treatment and acknowledgment of our issues.

We face discrimination in education and the workplace but this is NOT addressed. Many of those who call out for racial justice are not interested in true racial equality but rather their own interest. Those that call out for peace are not to be trusted if they continue to exclude war victims like myself from fair access and recognition. They will demand that you cater to their sensibilities and their values. Their timeline for justice for someone like myself is non existent and their continued silence and blackballing is proof of how you will be treated by these "peaceseekers" if you agree to their terms. Japanese war atrocities are not spoken about in the same way as German war atrocities. There are other forces at play beyond simplistic labelling of others as, "Nazis," and "Fascists."

My voice and perspective is an essential one in the anti-war movement, but it is being suppressed, and it is wrong. The progressive left is filled with unacknowledged racism, particularly against asian american men. The media's erasure of our struggle and refusal to recognize what we have overcome have led miseducated people to believe that we are not outstanding in any way. The sexual promotion of Asian American women in the progressive left over asian american men is obvious but never confronted. If placed under pressure they insert an asian american man who is submissive and who makes a deal to never acknowledge the work of someone like myself.

As an anti-war activist I have been erased from all coverage for exposing the people who exploiting from and stealing from the anti-war movement. Despite heavy blackballing and a lack of any official acknowledgment or recognition I still have significant achievments and titles.

• More interviews with candidates and activists then any other Youtuber

• Work with the longest wrongfully incarcerated men in NYS and US history

• Restoring the NYS Diabilities advocate

• Working under the direction of Marc Safman to expose the state of Accessible Pedestrian Signals in NYC

• I have work in public housing activism that goes back to the Obama era and have worked with tenant association presidents in public housing on a number of projects. I also have footage of myself speaking with the federal monitor investigating Public housing and proof of their refusal to follow-up.

• First in the nation to take actual action on "Force the Vote."

• Elected to County Committee for the Republican Party in Queens, NY

• A program put in place at University at Buffalo spearheaded by Fernando Maisonnett and supported by myself that is still saving students money on textbooks decades later through establishment of an alternative bookstore which guarantees lower prices then the University bookstore in it's charter.

• The first US Presidential debate where one of the candidates uses the Korean language in a response

• NYC Coordinator for the People's Party where I whistleblew on the theft and corruption of Nick Brana.

America has done it's best to wipe the pictures and videos of the violence that occurs in war from public consciousness to keep it "marketable." The algorithm will be programmed not to show "disturbing images" that caused a revolution in this country of the "anti-war" movement in the 60's and 70s. It was the daily reports from the war front that exposed the true nature of war that led to the end of war in Vietnam.

Video such as the infamous, "double taps" video published by Wikileaks revealed callous disregard for civilian life. I have been a staunch Assange advocate.

Unfortunately if you go to Assange events a lot of the events you see, even here in NYC? Now they have replaced myself and other Assange advocates that are doing actual work on this topic and replacing us with ineffective mouthpieces so that they can monopolize the money and keep it under their control.

I myself have also been a whistleblower revealing corrupt practices at Hunter College which to this day have not been acknowledged by CUNY administrators. Hopefully the recent resignation of Jennifer Raab will start to make change happen. I have gathered support from US Presidential candidates and NYC Mayoral candidates for a public meeting between myself and the CUNY chancellor and the President of Hunter College.

The state of Asian American activism is in a very bad state right now. Here are the 3 main issues I am confronting right now.

Right now the highest ranking Asian American in NYS is Grace Meng who has a seat in the House of Representatives. If you look at her campaign donation history you will see that her donations from AIPAC are larger then the summation of the next 35 donations. She receives no outstanding donations from any Asian American organizations. Grace Meng makes sure that Asian American activism happens on a surface level but what she really does is work to make sure that all Asian American down ballot electeds serve Israel. She also has been indicated as a person of interest as in terms of working with a foreign government, as she is the one who introduced Linda Sun into the political system, who turned out to be a spy for China. I guess if she's for sale to one foreign group she's ready to serve another foreign group. It gets worse as you go deeper and she has her hands in the next two issues as well. Her influence as the top ranking Asian American legislator goes deep and wide, but her priority is not Asian American interests. It's all just surface level BS to give her credibility for her true purpose. Just follow the money. If she was really helping Asian Americans they'd be donating to her campaign.

Andrew Yang saw the departure of every single boro captain all of whom happened to be Asian American. After his campaign was over no Asian Americans remained as part of his staff and this is documented in a video I filmed. Now the Yang organization hides their staff list. They don't want to hear from you or know who their staff are. When their books were opened there was a lot of money going to pay Yang and relatively little going out to candidates. ($2k a week for Yang $1k total for a candidate.) If a prominent black leader had an all white staff it would be questioned. But the press does not believe such a story would generate enough views so they see it happen and ignore it. In just this way many atrocities are carried out against me and my people that are never acknowledged. The media works to erect a fake leader for us and provides celebrities and a circus to promote this disgusting clown. He's completely in bed with Grace Meng and this was made clear as Grace Meng sent her errand boy Andy Yi chen who got a ridculous amount of donations for his campaign from China to unseat the first elected Korean American state representative in NYS history. Grace Meng, once again, is not helping Asian American candidates but using her power to threaten them and keep them in line. It's disgusting and wrong.

The Asian American curriculum now mandatory in NYC schools is an insult to the Asian American experience in many ways.

1. It writes Palestine and Palestinians out of history.

The term "oriental" was coined by a Palestinian American, Edward Said. The conflict going on in Israel/Palestine is very relevant in today's world. But the curriculum has no mention of the word Palestinian or Palestine. Here is a link to the curriculum. Do a text search and see if you can find the word Palestine or Palestinian in the entire document. Are we just gonna teach our children lies now?

2. It attempts to change AAPI to AANHPI to pander to political forces instead of for any intelligent reason.

The curriculum is called the AANHPI curriculum. Standing for Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander. This redundant and stupid and was made without community input. Isn't Hawaii an island in the Pacific? Why are we using a redundant term? Because a bunch of academics are pandering to political power and without consulting the AAPI community they are trying to make decisions for us. It is condescending and disgustinng. Also the Asian American community did not have an outcry against the word "oriental" instead this same academic community decided that they would make the word "oriental" dirty. You have Whites, Blacks, and Asians? One of the biggest problems Asian Americans have is that we are denied an American identity. By labeling us as Asians you are saying that we are "not really Americans." The decision to get rid of the word "oriental" was made by academics in the 1990's also without any community input and exacerbates our biggest problem. Is this some kind of cruel joke? I do not appreciate it for a second.

3. It does not talk about the LA riots which is a direct insult to Korean Americans

In the LA riots which were the largest domestic disturbance in US history with over one billion dollars in damages, about half of the damage was done to Korean American businesses which were targeted to absorb the anger of the black and latino community. Koreans never made black people slaves, but the media worked with political leaders to villainize Korean Americans and the police forces literally abandoned Korean Americans and told them to just allow their homes and livelihoods to be destroyed. The troops were put in place to guard Hollywood and Beverly Hills. In a curriculum designed to "stop asian hate" it does not address the nation's most severe and violent form of Asian hate in US history and the insufficiency of the government response leading to a breakdown of trust. A problem never acknowledged will not be fixed!

The two Korean Americans who were selected was 1. a woman who served US intelligence possibly spying on and kiling Koreans and who was married to a white man. The US was involved in relationships with murderous dictators and multiple war atrocities like the Gwang Ju massacre and the atrocities on Jeju Island which led to the death of many innocent civilians. This was done by the US government to install leadership who would maximize US interests. This maximization included enforcement by brutal and oppressive means which led to the deaths of many innocent civilians in a prequel to the same philosophy that would involve us in another failed war. The Vietnam War. Widespread rapes and village burnings, carpet bombings and other activities were carried out to bring the population under submission. The other Korean American is her father who fought the Japanese. These are absolutely horrible choices. Picking someone to represent the issues going on during the LA riots would be much more appropriate. Or a discussion of the relevance of Korean Americans to the anti-war movement. The curriculum is designed to prevent Asian Americans from gaining any leadership position in the anti-war movement to allow the millionaire friends of the academics to treat the anti war movement as their own personal piggybank while pushing out and silencing the actual victims of war. Over my DEAD BODY! They have blackballed me to protect their control over thiss multi million dollar industry. It is insane and wrong.

4. It eliminates Bruce Lee to promote Anna May Wong.

Bruce Lee is an iconic example of an Asian American overcoming discrimination in Hollywood and was the first Asian American lead in a Hollywood big budget film. He paved the way for many others. Anna May Wong played an all too typical role of sexual servitude and titillation. Asian Americans are not being taughy to be strong, but to be submissive. It is disgusting, an insult, and intolerable. It also pushes a woman named Yuri Kochiyama. Yuri Kochiyama has some interesting things about her, but she is largely chosen it seems because of her relationship with black people where she takes on a submissive role to Malcolm X. Now Malcolm X is a great inspiration, but you can see a constant theme of lionization of the submissive and a silencing of any story or Asian American activist who was resistant. Yuri is portrayed as someone who has a similar story to many bourgeoise activists, filled with connections to the "right people" and the "cool kids." People with affluence and fame. As someone currently doing more cooperative work with the black community then any other Asian American unless they are from academia or part of some organiation where they have been given title and a paycheck while accomplishing less but appealing to a non Asian American boss and with women outnumbering men in the sector at a ratio of about 3 to 1. By the way EVERY SINGLE PROFESSOR OF ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES at Harvard is and has been female. EVERY SINGLE ONE. And when they do choose an Asian American man he will be a pushover and a weakling and it will be disgusting. The most recent male activist they choose is a photographer who literally had no voice and allows people to look at a picture and interpret it any way they want. It is clear what kind of activist they want. A man who is seen but not heard or a sexually submissive and compliant woman.

The "workers" of many of the organizations want many of the same things. Deceived into a maze of managed fiefdoms controlled by organizational leaders and a complicit media, a corrupt aristoracy works to control the narrative and to make sure that issues that would bring about ACTUAL CHANGE for the little people remain highly suppressed!

Representing a class of people whose needs are traditionally overlooked my methods and objectives are resistant to analysis and understanding by those that benefit from the status quo. Communities that I work with include those with disabilities, the poor, and whistleblowers.

As a "little person" I am politically weak and must form coalitions and partnerships with key allies to win. Using the Rep My Block program (click here to join my team!) I help to empower my allies with voter data of people in their Assembly District so as to help them focus their efforts on the 10% that actually vote. I also help the "little people" to empower themselves.

I have on my media platforms a NYC Street Artist series that features the work of NYC subway artists. Every video, where possible, includes direct contact information for the artist. I also maintain NYCSTREETACTIVIST.COM which is the largest directory of NYC street and subway artists on the internet and hold an annual event to support the community.

If you enjoy my video work then just to let you know... My services are for hire! I charge $500 for an event coverage video which includes filming up to a 1 hour event and editing the video itself. Please contact me if you are interested in utilizing my services!

I hosted the only 3rd Party and Independent candidate forum/debates in NYC for the 2021 election cycle In '22 I ran a program called Unified Platform 22 - Working with over 30 candidates across the nation with representatives from all major and minor party lines as well as many independents I assembled a coalition of candidates to create a unified agreement across a variety of policies. Individual interviews and topical panel discussions were conducted to facilitate conditional work.

I also regularly host the first and only 3rd party and independent candidate debate for NYC elections.

A pdf report of the UP22 program is available here.

I like to play old school funk and soul breaks and some 90's hip hop and R&B. I also have classic rock sets.
