Idle speculation about Michelle Rhee's family:

[Hannah Bell]

Michelle's dad = Dr. Shang Rhee, who came to the US with his wife in the 60s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Rhee

Michelle was born in the US in 1969, so the date of immigration had to be sometime between 1960 & 1969.

The fact that Michelle's dad = was educated person/doctor in 1950s/60s Korea & Michelle went to private schools in the US

suggest that the family was not impoverished when it immigrated.


Another famous "Rhee" who immigrated to the US in the 60s = US-supported Korean strongman Syngman Rhee (a US-educated member of the old Korean ruling Yi family with apparent long-standing US/intelligence connections):


"After Japanese rule ended in Korea, Rhee returned to Seoul before the other independence leaders. Since he was backed by the United Sates, he was appointed head of the Korean government in 1945. With America's tacit consent, Rhee began a campaign to "remove Communism". However it was actually a veiled plan to remove all political opposition....

In 1960, Rhee assured his fourth term in office as President with a resounding 90% of the vote. The landslide victory came after the main opposition candidate, Cho Byeong-ok, died shortly before the March 15 elections...When police shot demonstrators in Masan, the student-led April 19 Movement forced Rhee to resign on April 26.

On April 28, a DC-4 belonging to the United States Central Intelligence Agency - operated by Civil Air Transport - whisked Rhee out of South Korea as protestors converged on the Blue House.

Kim Yong Kap, Deputy Minister of Finance accused Rhee of embezzling more than $20 billion in government funds. <6>

The former president, his Austrian-born wife, Franziska Donner, and adopted son then lived in exile in Honolulu, Hawaii."

Coincidence?

Not unprecedented that the supporters/hangers-on/relations of US-supported dictators immigrate when their patrons have to....and intelligence connections r/t the US school "reform" have already surfaced, e.g. intelligence/military graduates of Eli Broad's superintendants' academy.


just idle speculation.
