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:

[All countries involved in and around the Korean Peninsula need to hold themselves accountable for creating the Korean Peninsula situation with North Korea in the first place]
China,Russia,North Korea, South Korean, Japan and the US are all responsible for the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
But once everyone acknowledges that, they can and should all go "How can we finally fix/solve this thing together and avoid war/conflict?".
[South Korea and China have no direct Road and Rail connection between them, this is a major economic opportunity for North Korea]
North Korea could economically prosper and make the entire Korean Peninsula prosper if it helped connect SK and China Road and Rail systems by allowing them to be constructed inside NK. This would also help NK modernize it's infrastructure and turn it into a global trade hub.
North Korea is the new Panama Canal, except instead of ships it would be Trucks and Trains.

[North Korea could learn a lot from Turkey, when it comes to making the most about your geopolitical and trade route position]
Turkey has been able to make deals and relations with both the US and Russia, among many other countries. It's geopolitical position is complex, but makes it very powerful.
If you look at where Turkey is, you see that it's a huge trade route between Europe(West and East) and the Middle East. That makes it's economy very powerful.
North Korea is in a similar potential position when it comes to being in a great geopolitical position(Surrounded by China,Russia,SK and Japan) and has a fantastic trade route position(Right between China and SK, also both coast lines for freight).

The NK regime and Kim family is supposedly responsible for a lot of torture and death. Do you have any suggestions for how they would overcome their past crimes? How they could apologize and work with the people (citizens and non) that suffered in their country and how to work out moving forward and being more open with other countries and citizens when many people are sad and angry?

Good news is that so far, I think I covered all possible false flags.
Well that's good to know, at least now we can focus on putting the research we did together and deploying it so that the options are taken off of the table.
The financial crisis in south korea is what lead to a lot of govt restructurings which gave way to the rise of feminism and its subsequent influence on policies/laws over the next 20 years.
qz.com/801067/an-epic-battle-between-feminism-and-deep-seated-misogyny-is-under-way-in-south-korea/ >In the late 1990s, the Asian financial crisis upended the stability of the Korean “salaryman.” Many men who lost their jobs started to compete with women for work. “A lot of the negative stereotypes about women, a lot of very gendered labels, started appearing in the early 2000s,” says James Turnbull, a long-time resident in the southern city of Busan who writes about feminism.
Countries with the most potential to become economic powerhouses are targeted then isolated, followed up by regime change marked by hostile takeover with boots on the ground from international war machines with the invasion being justified through the use of a false flag that pulls the most countries into a battle royale with the now isolated and villainized country serving as the stage.
Henry Powell
Interesting. >The cause of the debacle are many and disputed. Thailand's economy developed into an economic bubble fueled by hot money. More and more was required as the size of the bubble grew. The same type of situation happened in Malaysia and Indonesia, which had the added complication of what was called "crony capitalism".[7] The short-term capital flow was expensive and often highly conditioned for quick profit. Development money went in a largely uncontrolled manner to certain people only - not necessarily the best suited or most efficient, but those closest to the centers of power.
Where was all of this "hot money" that created the bubble coming from? Notice how the Wikipedia entry for this crisis doesn't talk about that.

>During preparations for US President Nixon's visit to China in 1972, South Korean President Park Chung-hee initiated covert contact with the North's Kim Il-sung.[25] In August 1971, the first Red Cross talks between North and South Korea were held.[26] Many of the participants were really intelligence or party officials.[27] In May 1972, Lee Hu-rak, the director of the Korean CIA, secretly met with Kim Il-sung in Pyongyang. Kim apologized for the Blue House Raid, denying he had approved it.[28] In return, North Korea's deputy premier Pak Song-chol made a secret visit to Seoul.[29] On July 4, 1972, the North-South Joint Statement was issued. The statement announced the Three Principles of Reunification: first, reunification must be solved independently without interference from or reliance on foreign powers; second, reunification must be realized in a peaceful way without use of armed forces against each other; finally, reunification transcend the differences of ideologies and institutions to promote the unification of Korea as one ethnic group.[26][30] It also established the first "hotline" between the two sides. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea–South_Korea_relations
>North Korea suspended talks in 1973 after the kidnapping of South Korean opposition leader Kim Dae-jung by the Korean CIA.
Random note, this guy was PM from 1998 until 2003 when the peace talks collapsed.
Good catch I've always thought it was interesting how the IMF had their role planned out from before it began and when they would step in along with an already prepared list of demands that had to be met before they would issue bailouts. These demands almost always included core govt restructures.
Putin's ascension to power and juggling of the russian ruble wherein he made those who tried taking the russian economy hostage the very ones who were forced to keep it afloat. Surprised it isnt talked about more actually, the whole saga really is something else.

> In 1983, a North Korean proposal for three-way talks with the United States and South Korea coincided with the Rangoon assassination attempt against the South Korean President.[35] This contradictory behavior has never been explained.
>In September 1984, North Korea's Red Cross sent emergency supplies to the South after severe floods.[25] Talks resumed, resulting in the first reunion of separated families in 1985, as well as a series of cultural exchanges.[25][37] Goodwill dissipated with the staging of the US-South Korean military exercise, Team Spirit, in 1986.
>From September 4 to 7, 1990, high-level talks were held in Seoul, at the same time that the North was protesting about the Soviet Union normalizing relations with the South. These talks led in 1991 to the Agreement on Reconciliation, Non-Aggression, Exchanges and Cooperation and the Joint Declaration of the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.[42][43] This coincided with the admission of both North and South Korea into the United Nations.[44] Meanwhile, on March 25, 1991, a unified Korean team first used the Korean Unification Flag at the World Table Tennis Competition in Japan, and on May 6, 1991, a unified team competed at the World Youth Football Competition in Portugal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Declaration_of_the_Denuclearization_of_the_Korean_Peninsula
>In December 1991 both states made an accord, the Agreement on Reconciliation, Non-Aggression, Exchange and Cooperation, pledging non-aggression and cultural and economic exchanges. They also agreed on prior notification of major military movements and established a military hotline, and working on replacing the armistice with a "peace regime".
Don't forget that MI6 put Putin in power because they thought he would be their asset. Putin worked his way into plans that were being done and then double crossed the groups doing the plotting.

The UK and Italy had additional difficulties with theirdouble deficits, while the UK was also hurt by the rapid depreciation of the United States Dollar – a currency in which many British exports were priced – that summer. >Issues of national prestige and the commitment to a doctrine that the fixing of exchange rates within the ERM was a pathway to a single European currency inhibited the adjustment of exchange rates. >In the wake of the rejection of theMaastricht Treatyby the Danish electorate in a referendum in the spring of 1992, and announcement that there would be a referendum in France as well, those ERM currencies that were trading close to the bottom of their ERM bands came under pressure from foreign exchange traders.

The meeting was allegedly taped by Zhou Yongkang, then secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, who informed Kim Jong-un of the plot. In December 2013, Jang was executed for treason while in July 2014 Zhou was publicly put under investigation for corruption and other crimes and was arrested in December 2014. These events are said to have marked the beginning of Kim Jong-un's distrust of China, since they had failed to inform him of a plot against his rule, while China took a dislike to Kim for executing their trusted intermediary. >On 7 May 2013, Bank of China, China's biggest foreign exchange bank and other Chinese banks closed the account of North Korea's main foreign exchange bank. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China–North_Korea_relations
Maybe Soros knew/figured out what was being planned and made a move beforehand because he knew it would be successful?
This makes me wonder if someone baited Japan into a position where they were forced to create this crisis because of their bubble collapsing. Like the true culprit started a giant chain reaction that took years to play out.

>The Soviet Union's government had provided much support to North Korea during the Cold War. North Korea was once under the rule of the Soviet Civil Administration from 1945 to 1948. The Soviet 64th Fighter Aviation Corps took part in the Korean War where they provided North Korea and China with badly needed pilots.[6] However the Soviet government under Gorbachev began to reduce aid to North after 1985 in favor of reconciliation with South Korea. Military equipment continued to be provided until a last batch of MiG-29s was delivered in 1989. >After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the new Russian government under Boris Yeltsin refused to provide support for North Korea, favoring South Korea instead.

>>The first meeting of the Inter-governmental Commission for Trade, Economic, and Scientific-Technical Cooperation between Russia and DPRK was held in the spring of 1996 led by Deputy Premier Vitali Ignatenko. This was the highest- level meeting (at the deputy prime ministerial level) between Moscow and Pyongyang since the collapse of the Soviet Union. During the visit, the two countries agreed to restore bilateral trade and economic cooperation to its 1991 level. The two sides also agreed to restore bilateral inter-governmental commissions and to establish working-level bodies between North Korea and the Russian Far Eastern province for bilateral cooperation in science-technology, forestry, light industry, and transport. Ignatenko carried Yeltsin's personal message to Kim Jong-il. In the message, Yeltsin expressed his hopes for tension reduction on the Korean peninsula and North Korea's continuing observance of the Armistice Agreement. Kim Jong-il, expecting that Zyuganov, the Communist Party leader, would win the coming presidential election in June–July 1996, did not even send a letter of reply, nor did he meet with the Russian delegation. >Vladimir Putin's elevation to prime minister in August 1999 and then president in March had critical significance for Pyongyang, which attributed its previous grievances to Yeltsin's government. Kim Jong-il's references to Putin were to the effect that at last Russia had a leader “with whom to do business.” However, intensive diplomatic work had to precede a historical breakthrough in Russia–DPRK relations. These efforts began to bear fruit in late 1998, and by March 1999, it became possible to agree completely on the text and the initial Treaty on Friendship, Good-Neighborly Relations and Cooperation. It was signed in February 2000, after Yeltsin left the political arena.

>fas.org/irp/dia/product/knfms/knfms_chp3a.html "Sales to Iran peaked in the early 1980s at the height of the Iran-Iraq war. These sales probably constitute about 90 percent of North Korea's arms exports, making this relationship most valuable. Other Middle East clients probably include Egypt and Syria. Through Middle Eastern arms sales, North Korea gains hard currency, alternative oil sources, and access to restricted technology. Precise figures on North Korea's arms trade, economy, and foreign trade balance are not available. Rough estimates indicate North Korea earned over $4 billion from 1981 through 1989.

The Iraqi Army's occupation of Kuwait that began 2 August 1990 was met with international condemnation and brought immediate economic sanctions against Iraq by members of the UN Security Council. Together with the UK's prime minister Margaret Thatcher — who had resisted the invasion by Argentina of the Falkland Islands a decade earlier[28] — George Bush deployed US forces into Saudi Arabia, and urged other countries to send their own forces to the scene. Interesting that the UK was on board with this. Why did Saddam invading Kuwait piss them off so much?

>unitedagainstnucleariran.com/north-korea-iran Iran and North Korea have forged a strategic partnership that dates back to the 1979 founding of the Islamic Republic. Buttressed by a shared antipathy to the U.S. and a mutual need to weather international isolation, the two nations each brought something to the table that the other desperately needed: from Iran came oil and from North Korea came military expertise and hardware. “Iran has developed a close working relationship with North Korea on many ballistic missile programs,” providing Iran “a qualitative increase in [ballistic missile] capabilities” and advancing Iran toward its “goal of self-sufficiency in the production of medium-range ballistic missiles.” In 1991, Pyongyang introduced the 500 km-range Scud-C (Shahab-2), which it sold to several Middle Eastern countries, including Iran and Syria. North Korea’s sale of Scud-Cs to Iran was arranged during a November 1990 visit to Tehran by North Korea’s defense minister, where he met with senior Iranian officials including the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Mohsen Rezai, and the Ayatollah’s son, Ahmed Khomeini. In addition to agreeing on the purchase of Scud-Cs, the two sides agreed to convert a missile maintenance facility in eastern Iran into a production facility. In May 1991, Iran successfully tested a Scud-C in Qom, signifying the increasing military cooperation between the two nations. North Korea’s ballistic missile assistance to Iran was mutually beneficial, as Iran would frequently share sensitive data from their test-launches with the North Koreans, enabling the North Koreans to adjust and advance their program further.
Most of North Korea and Iranian relations is weapons sales. Probably more useful when NK wasn't so behind in weapons manufacturing.
