/HTG/: HUNTING TRAFFICKERS GENERAL: NK BORDER INVESTIGATIONS

This general is for identifying, discussing, mapping, researching and tracking various trafficking networks and enterprises. There is a consistent trend of data showing that Best Korea is based as fuck and that Dokdo is rightful Korean clay. Feel free to submit tips or contribute with memes, infographs etc.

Trafficking can happen in many forms depending on the product being moved (human, guns, drugs, rare animals/art, organs etc.) and involve many different groups and organizations. We track all types.

Do not encourage violence here, we aren't trying to give them any excuses to shut it down.

Newcomers should pay attention to shills targeting these threads with discrediting/discouraging attempts as well as injection of misinformation and bad leads.

Look for these kinds of things to map out the trafficking/smuggling networks:

[Secret Compartments in Vehicles/Ships/Aircraft & Types of Transport](Vans, Semi-Trucks, Buses, Trains etc for Land, Yachts, Cruise Ships, Container/Cargo Ships, Ferry's etc for Sea, Private Jets, Commercial/Cargo Flights, etc for Air.)(Sewers & Subway Tunnels can also be used).

Trafficking/smuggling also has several different categories:

1) [Government/Military]

2) [Corporation/Business]

3) [Criminal]

4) [Intel Agencies]

Replace all mentions of Pompeo with Bolton and these statements will make a lot more sense.

They mentioned Pompeo to get in the news again(clever move) and to have the US read the statements they made.

Speaking of which I want to highlight an important one:

> "The meaning is that the U.S. should get rid of the root cause that pushed us into a nuclear state and obstacles on the way to denuclearization by its own hands; otherwise no one can predict how the situation on the Korean peninsula will turn out," he added.
> the U.S. should get rid of the root cause that pushed us into a nuclear state by its own hands

Important research assignment:

When did the NK nuclear program begin?

When did the Korean War get "paused"?.

How long has the Korean War been going on?.

How long has NK's nuclear program been around?

Where did NK get it's nuclear technology from?.

Which countries were allied with NK during the Korean War and after it's been "paused"?.

>disobedientmedia.com/2019/04/north-koreas-former-un-ambassador-tries-to-undermine-peace-talks/

In his history of statements and actions, what is his real agenda?.

Looked like he's one of the hardliners who doesn't want to denuclearize. If they were signaling about Pompeo why did a guy who wants the nukes get chosen to put the statement out?

UK's view point is very different... I was waiting for this thread to see what you think is really going on here.

First thought I had - they picked the wrong advisor for the topic of the article, obviously.

Exactly.

Remember how I said that Bolton would do moves to shift blame/focus onto Pompeo?.

Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend.

Glad you brought that up with that meme.....

Finish this important research assignment first before I tell you something:

1) It began in the 60's when NK built Yongbyon.

2) They signed an armistice in 1953.

3) 66 years.

4) Same answer as 1, in the 60's.

5) Russia originally for research equipment and other tech from the Middle East and Pakistan.

6) China and Russia were the main two "allies."

So he was given a statement to make about Bolton and did it about Pompeo instead? Then NK let it slide to see how the media would react?

>he believes in nukas
lol
they are portal devices able to open portals to other planes allowing entities entrance

>1) It began in the 60's when NK built Yongbyon.

>4) Same answer as 1, in the 60's.
>5) Russia originally for research equipment and other tech from the Middle East and Pakistan.

Which means the entire reason why NK is a nuclear state is because of the Korean War never ending.

>So he was given a statement to make about Bolton and did it about Pompeo instead? Then NK let it slide to see how the media would react?

Possibly.

Also compare him with Bolton.

>When did the NK nuclear program begin?

1956: The Soviet Union begins training North Korean scientists and engineers, giving them "basic knowledge" to initiate a nuclear program.

1958: The U.S. deploys nuclear armed Honest John missiles and 280 mm atomic cannons to South Korea.

1959: North Korea and the USSR sign a nuclear cooperation agreement.

1962: The Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center opens.

1965: The Yongbyon IRT-2000 research reactor reaches a power rating of 2 MW.

1974: The Yongbyon IRT-2000 research reactor reaches a power rating of 4 MW.

Between the late 1970s and early 1980s North Korea begins uranium mining operations at various locations near Sunchon and Pyongsan

In this Fox Segment they mention that Jennifer Griffin was the one at Fox who claimed the "tactical weapons" test was for non-conventional missiles.

>Jennifer Griffin currently serves as a national security correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC) and is based out of the Washington D.C. bureau. She joined FNC in October 1999 as a Jerusalem-based correspondent.
Most recently, Griffin has covered Secretary Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Since 2007, Griffin has reported daily from the Pentagon where she questions senior military leaders, travels to war zones and reports on all aspects of the military, including the current wars against ISIS and Al Qaeda. She has covered major news stories extensively including the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012 and the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011.

>Throughout her career, Griffin has secured major interviews with government officials including former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in Baghdad, Iraq on the day the Iraq War ended, as well as an exclusive interview with General David Petraeus in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2010 when he took over as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. She has also traveled on multiple trips overseas with former Defense Secretary Robert Gates from 2007-2011. She began her work at the Pentagon at the start of the “surge.”

>During Griffin’s tenure at FNC, she has provided live coverage of the Palestinian Intifada from 2000-2007 and was among the first reporters to arrive in the wake of the South-East Asia tsunami tragedy, reporting from Phuket and Khao Lak, Thailand.

>While based in Jerusalem, she reported on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, countless suicide bombings, military incursions and failed peace deals. In 2000, she provided on-site coverage of Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon and its withdrawal from the Gaza strip in 2005, as well as Yassar Arafat’s funeral. Additionally, Griffin is credited with conducting a rare and extensive interview with former Prime Minister of Israel Ariel Sharon on his farm in 2009 before he lapsed into a coma.

>Prior to joining FNC, Griffin covered the Middle East region for several American media organizations including National Public Radio and U.S. News and World Report. Previously, she reported for The Sowetan newspaper in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she covered Nelson Mandela's prison release and numerous other historic moments in South Africa's transition away from the apartheid regime.

>A graduate of Harvard University in 1992, Griffin received a B.A. in comparative politics. She is also the co-author of the book, “This Burning Land: Lessons from the Frontlines of the Transformed Israeli-Palestinian Conflict,” which she wrote with her husband Greg Myre regarding their experience in Israel.

So he's making confrontational statements to derail talks and intentionally mishandling the cyber attack stuff by wording it in a way he knows the media will paint as suspicious. Then he has no problem acting as a backchannel to get a CIA asset back to the US.

This Carlin guy was working on the deal in the 90's, no wonder it fell through if the teams were this infiltrated.

This potential False Flag against North Korea is 9/11 level in how it's designed:

A train car carrying a nuclear weapon will go off in a major West Coast city.

It will be then blamed on NK by saying a NK Submarine(which will not exist) did it.

This will cause the US to quickly declare nuclear war against NK in a "shoot first, ask questions later" decision.

What's interesting about this particular false flag is how it combines several aspects of previous false flag plans reported on by the media and think tanks, but it includes a new aspect that was recently hinted at. Train Cars.

>But talks were opened again this spring, when the U.S. special representative for North Korea policy, Joseph Yun, traveled to Oslo to meet with Pak Song Il, a senior diplomat at Pyongyang's U.N. mission, on the sidelines of unofficial "track two" talks routinely held among regional experts.
>The main purpose of that meeting, hosted by Norway, was to discuss four Americans being held hostage by North Korea, officials said at the time. Yun's direct counterpart, Choe Son Hui, director of the America division in North Korea's Foreign Ministry, agreed to allow consular access to the four by Swedish diplomats representing the United States in Pyongyang.

Thats how you "lose" a nuke

>OSNOS: Yeah, and I'm going to - I'll answer that in two ways. One is what I was told, and the second is what I came to believe. The first thing is that people go out of their way to tell you how comfortable they are with the idea of a nuclear exchange. I mean, I had a conversation with a very smart and very alert, knowledgeable America analyst at the Foreign Ministry, a guy named Pak Song Il, whose job it is to analyze the United States, speaks extremely good English. And he said, look; we understand that a war would be devastating, but we've survived devastation twice in our recent history - the Korean War and then the famine of the mid-'90s which killed up to three million people.

>And he said, we would - we would survive again. And he took me down into the subway which is built a hundred meters underground, twice the depth of the New York subway system, and he said, this is where we would go in the event of a nuclear strike. He showed me the blast doors.

Those get covered up.

Is this the same DOT that transports radioactive/nuclear material?

They go back and forth between US/Canada frequently.

They have the routes planned out months in advance and the trucks/Semis are lojacked and not allowed to deviate course.

The employees aren’t allowed to have personal devices and the government holds onto the devices until the route has been completed successfully.

They’re not allowed to look into the trailer, and the cops are informed of their visits/routes ahead of time. Usually the police/HwyPatrol in the different cities/states will meet them at the city/county borders and parade them through to their next destination (with lights on) and tell them to keep going/not allow stops.


It’s hard to lose something under this program and everyone has to go through a “background check” that includes social media.

These don’t/can’t go missing on accident

How do you cover up a nuclear bomb detonating?

This might just be for the radioactive material and not the weapons though

Seeing that one of the “possible nk nuclear strikes” that the media is pushing,is in california.

The DOE wasn’t just worried about angry pacifists, it was worried about someone learning the routes and hijacking a train—a worst case scenario for American nuclear security.

Surely they can't cover up that large a release of radiation. How does that even work?

Lol no way, is this the reason towns sometimes just go missing and their entire history of ever existing just gets scrubbed?

Los Angeles seems like the most likely location because it has so many rail lines connected to it. More options for them to sneak a bomb in. Plus who is going to really miss LA?

>How does that even work?

Media blackout, government cover up and mass public distraction.

Possibly.

Oh wait, its plant explosions I think, those look like nukes going off.
Like look at that one from china a few years back, one has happened in texas, another in nevada which would probably be where the train would go off at.

New Assignment:

Figure out the best places for Summits that NK can get to using Rail.

Good finds.

This sounds nice

>An investigation estimated that the larger explosion was equivalent to about one kiloton ofTNT, approximately the same yield of atactical nuclear weapon

Crazy, I had never even heard of this.

/HTG/ can connect these lines to the ones in Russia and China. And SK if the line to Kaesong crosses the border.

[Russiagate report release reactions]

The Dems wanted it and now they don't know how to handle it. They didn't actually expect it would be released at all.

Spinning it is political suicide for them and they already pulled an Assange and smeared shit all over the drawing board they were supposed to go back to.

[North Korea's "weapon test"]

North Korea must be laughing at how over the top the international media covered what they tested(if they tested anything at all).

A great inter-Korean project would be to join the SK and NK railway systems.

Good idea

That could be a good one that would allow them to trade goods more easily as well.

Kaesong used to be connected (don't know if it is now). You could actually visit the "last station" on the South Korea side and get a fake "passport" stamp, the whole deal.

It used to get people to the joint industrial area that was abandoned around 2010 if I recall correctly.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorasan_Station

It's called Dorasan on the SK side

Reason for insinuating/planting the idea north koreas weapons testing yesterday was related to a tactical nuke?
That would fit into a boxcar, something along the lines of a SADM (sadam's name?) or a MADM

>On 30 November 2018 an engineers' inspection train from South Korea crossed the border at Dorasan for an assessment, conducted jointly with North Korean officials, of the North's Kaesong to Sinuiju (P'yŏngŭi) line, and rail routes northwards from Mount Kumgang.

They should really get this line going again.

Hey A5 let me ask you this. What is the ultimate purpose of nuclear weapons?

>What is the ultimate purpose of nuclear weapons?

A stepping stone for bigger weapon systems and a bi-product of the quest for and weaponizing of energy.

Weapons are designed to kill people, but we don't want that, as that would hurt our hopes of reaching the stars again. I do understand that weapons can be used to protect, but why are humans so obsessed with weapons of this level?

>The U.S. government is hiring “Nuclear Materials Couriers.” Since the 1950s, this team of federal agents, most of them ex-military, has been tasked with ferrying America’s 6,800 nuclear warheads and extensive supply of nuclear materials across the roads and highways of the United States. America’s nuclear facilities are spread out throughout the country, on over 2.4 million acres of federal real estate, overseen by the Department of Energy (DOE)—a labyrinth of a system the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists called “highly scattered and fragmented…with few enforceable rules.”

>Today the United States relies almost entirely on million-dollar, Lockheed Martin tractor-trailers, known as Safeguard Transporters (SGTs) and Safe Secure Trailers (SSTs) to move nuclear material. Butfrom the 1950s through the 1980s, the great hope for safe transit was so-called “white trains.”

>These trains looked entirely ordinary, except for a few key details. They featured multiple heavily armored boxcars sandwiched in between “turret cars,” which protruded above the rest of the train. The turrets had slit windows through which armed DOE guards peered out, prepared to shoot if they needed to defend the train. Some guards had simple rifles, while others reportedly had automatic machine guns and hand-grenade launchers. Known in DOE parlance “safe, secure railcars,” or SSRs, the white trains were highly resistant to attack and unauthorized entry. They also offered “a high degree of cargo protection in event of fire or serious accident,” the DOE assured a wary Congress in 1979.

>but why are humans so obsessed with weapons of this level?

To put out a fire you need to suck the air away.

>Though nuclear trains staffed by snipers guarding powerful weapons sounds like something out of an action-adventure film, the trains were far from glamorous. They moved slowly, maxing out at 35 miles per hour—a virtual crawl compared to the average Amtrak train. This meant very long cross-country journeys for their seven-member crews. One of the most common routes for the train took nuclear bombs from Texas to Bangor, Washington, delivering the weapons at a submarine base on the banks of the Puget Sound. Another frequent route took bombs from Texas to Charleston, South Carolina, where a set of submarines sat poised for missions in the Atlantic.

>The epicenter of nuclear transit was the Pantex Plant, about 17 miles outside of downtown Amarillo, Texas, a maze-like complex of dozens of buildings located on 10,000 acres of land. Amarillo was the final destination for almost all of America’s nuclear trains and the Pantex Plant was the nation’s only assembly point for nuclear weapons, a role it maintains to this day.

>The United States built Pantex in 1941 as a World War II munitions base, and in 1951, it was quietly refurbished to serve a new Cold War role. Soon, a growing portion of Amarillo’s 100,000 citizens were employed in bomb assembly and disassembly. “Inside Gravel Gertie bunkers designed to contain explosions and contamination, moonlighting farmers and silent young mechanics bolt together the warheads for Trident missiles and delicately dismantle older weapons,” wrote the Washington Post in 1982.

>These trains quietly snaked along America’s railroads for 30 years, a top-secret project with an impeccable track record. Yet today, every white train sits in a junkyard or a museum. Why did America abandon its nuclear trains, which many Cold War nuclear experts considered to be the safest mode of transport for sensitive weapons material?

>Public pressure, activist interference, and a growing constellation of nuclear sites in the U.S. triggered the demise of the controversy-ridden trains. Shortly after the Washington lawsuit, the U.S. government began exclusively using Safeguard Transporters for moving nuclear materials. The DOE expressed confidence that a system of trucks would be easier to obscure and would provide a practical solution to reaching the many nuclear sites far away from train tracks.

>While the white trains came to an unceremonious end in 1987, the Department of Energy didn’t abandon all hope for using trains in experimental national security measures. In 1986, President Reagan approved a system for launching intercontinental ballistic missiles from railways, an initiative known as Peacekeeper Rail Garrison. The plan would park 25 trains carrying two missiles apiece at military bases throughout the U.S. In the case of Soviet agitation, the locomotives would move onto the nation’s railroad network, where missiles could be launched from the train.

>Though a group of protesters had effectively brought down the white trains, officials appeared confident that the nation’s rail network could provide an effective means of hiding weapons. By the late 1980s, the United States had 120,000 miles of available track, 20,000 locomotives, and 1.2 million railcars. At any given time, there were more than 1,700 trains on the tracks; military representativesinsisted this would make it almost impossible for the Soviets to track where in the U.S. these 50 missile-laden trains had gone. “Rail-garrison will be the mainstay of our strategic defense well into the 21st century,” predicted one Texas Senator.

>The Cold War ended before a single missile could roll onto the tracks. When the Soviet Union broke apart in 1991, the U.S. began decommissioning much of its nuclear arsenal and discontinued expensive, experimental projects like Peacekeeper Rail Garrison. But in 2013, the U.S. Air Force briefly toyed with the idea of a similar system, which would move missiles around the tracks of an underground subway system. The Air Force’s rationale remained much the same: if you could keep the missiles moving, you would deter attackers and make it be nearly impossible to pinpoint the weapons’ exact location. Critics have dismissed this proposal as a pie-in-the-sky idea, and even its proponents conceded it would likely take another 50 years to make such a project operational.

>Today’s nuclear infrastructure—much of which is focused on decommissioning rather than building weapons—is reliant on Safeguard Transporters and their armed drivers. Much like the rest of the America’s nuclear arsenal, many of the trucks are antiquated; about half of the SSTs are over 15 years old. The trucks, which log over three and a half million miles each year, are accompanied by unmarked escort vehicles and their only easily recognizable feature is their U.S. Government license plates.

>“I never had a sense there was a fear about moving things,” said Dr. Robert Rosner, former director of the Argonne National Laboratory, who oversaw the lab’s nuclear waste disposal efforts from 2005 to 2009. “The drivers knew what they were doing. They were accompanied by state police. We had confidence in the physical robustness in the transportation itself,” Rosner recalled, pointing to videos showing how the materials respond to a train crash, a truck flipping, and other potential catastrophes.

>Transportation of nuclear materials is currently overseen by the Office of Secure Transportation (OST), an agency that has attracted only minimal attention in the years since the fall of the Soviet Union. But a 2017Los Angeles Times investigation suggested problems may lurk beneath the surface. OST is understaffed, with the average courier working about 75 hours a week. Turnover is extremely high. In 2010, aDOE investigation found “widespread alcohol problems” within the agency, including incidents that occurred while couriers were on secure transportation missions. The DOE conceded that these episodes “indicate a potential vulnerability in OST’s critical national security mission.”

>Major challenges remain for nuclear transportation in America. Plans to “modernize” America’s nuclear arsenal, supported by both the Obama and Trump administrations, mean that weapons will be taking more trips than ever on American roads. Beginning in 2010, around one thousand W76 warheads traveled from Bangor, Washington back to Amarillo, Texas, for upgrades to extend the life of the weapon by 30 years—a massive undertaking, entirely dependent on the OST’s fleet of Safeguard Transporters. Perhaps the most pressing issue is nuclear waste and in particular, excess plutonium, most of which remains at Amarillo’s Pantex plant and will need to be moved to secure disposal facilities in the years to come.

>“We’ve been moving this stuff since the Cold War, and we’ve never had a major accident,” said Rosner. “But the system depends on secrecy. If we have an accident, that veil will be lifted.”

Well you can see that they certainly already know the means of carrying out a FF like this.

>On October 5, 2018, a van was involved in a highway accident on Interstate 40 (I-40) at mile marker 225.4 near Okemah, Oklahoma (OK). The van was carrying five Office of Secure Transportation (OST) Federal Agents (FA) returning from a week-long training exercise held at Fort Chaffee in Fort Smith, Arkansas (AR). The accident resulted in the death of one of the Federal Agents. The other four were severely injured. Due to the severity of this accident and in accordance with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Order (O) 225.1B, Accident Investigations, Theodore Wyka, Cognizant Officer for Safety, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), appointed an Accident Investigation Board (the Board) on October 15. The Board began its investigation on October 22 and completed its review on December 10, 2018.

Yep.

Do we know who’s rail line? Do we know if they were attempting it in a city or out in the country/woods away from people & eyes?

youtube.com/watch?v=bp5nbA_rFYg

Are you able to make a tl;dr version of this info so that I can use it for an infographic? I'm off in a few mins but I'll have it ready for tomorrow's thread

>Do we know who’s rail line? Do we know if they were attempting it in a city or out in the country/woods away from people & eyes?

That depends on the city they choose.

I'm still researching man. I pretty much gave you a tl;dr right there. Just compress my posts. Plus, you should read the whole article yourself before making the infograph anyway.
