How Are These Monuments Supposed to Honor Dosan?

The monuments in Riverside City and the Riverside city monument in Gangnam, Seoul are all based on lies. From professors to politicians, they use Dosan's name to act like they are doing good. Dosan hated lies. One of his core principles is truth.

How are these monuments supposed to honor Dosan? The monuments in Riverside City and the Riverside city monument in Gangnam, Seoul are all based on lies!

Countless lies and fabricated history, from professors to politicians, they use Dosan's name to act like they are doing good, but in reality, they are all using his name in the name of dishonesty.

Dosan hated lies. One of his core principles is truth. Dosan would never work for someone who lies even if he could gain money from it. Dosan is a Korean Hero with dignity and love for his country. The fact that people use historical figures like him and fabricate lies is disgusting.

Until now, people still use his name for lies. If you are Korean or someone who respects history, you know that desecrating Korean heroes that built Korea is disgraceful.

We have a full video covering these lies. Watch the $50 Million Lie on our YouTube channel, Island Mountain Media. Support the truth. Fight against these people.

They say“Dosan Ahn Chang-ho (3rd from left), a Korean immigrant and activist who founded Pachappa Camp in 1905, is seen with other workers at a Riverside, California, orange orchard in the early 1900s”The Korea Herald, Life&Style, 2021What the record saysThe founding year is printed as settled. The photograph beside it is dated to a decade.One sentence carries a precise year for the founding and a vague one for the picture. No source is given for either.
