U.S. spy agencies: North Korea is working on new missiles
Wshington Post via MSN ^ | 07/30/2018 | Ellen Nakashima, Joby Warrick

Newly obtained evidence, including satellite photos taken in recent weeks, indicates that work is underway on at least one and possibly two liquid-fueled ICBMs at a large research facility in Sanumdong, on the outskirts of Pyongyang, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence.

The findings are the latest to show ongoing activity inside North Korea’s nuclear and missile facilities at a time when the country’s leaders are engaged in arms talks with the United States. The new intelligence does not suggest an expansion of North Korea’s capabilities but shows that work on advanced weapons is continuing weeks after President Trump declared in a Twitter posting that Pyongyang was “no longer a Nuclear Threat.” The reports about new missile construction come after recent revelations about a suspected uranium enrichment facility, called Kangson, that North Korea is operating in secret. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged during Senate testimony last week that North Korean factories “continue to produce fissile material” used in making nuclear weapons. He declined to say whether Pyongyang is building new missiles.

During a summit with Trump in June, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed to a vaguely worded pledge to “work toward” the “denuclearization” of the Korean Peninsula. But since then, North Korea has made few tangible moves signaling an intention to disarm.

Consider the source, they lack credibility.

Hopefully they’re working on some that can take out the Washington Post.

This is what happens when you don’t drain the swamp: no one fears you.

The notion that Deep State has sometimes farmed out tasks to the Norks:

I don’t think it’s impossible.

Why would Deep State want to throw away a handy tool like that..?

“according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence. “

Isn’t that against the law ?

Considering the source this information is suspect.

So, If this isn’t just completely made up by the WaPo/MSNBC:

The ‘anonymous sources’ are committing Treason....
Either by lying to their media buddies to harm Trump, their Commander In Chief..
Or telling the truth to their media buddies by leaking classified intelligence information.

If there ARE actual intelligence sources leaking this, then they should be hanged, from the same gibbet as the media people publishing it.

If true, this is not protected speech under the 1st amendment. Someone needs to go to jail or give up the sources.

What, the media reports of unsourced intelligence reports would undermine the credibility of the Presidents’ accomplishments might be less than genuine.......?

Operation Mockingbird was abandoned by the CIA long ago & Brennan never lied to Congress....

“according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence. “

And there’s the catch phrase for planted propaganda.

Joby Warrick was one of Joseph Wilson’s media assets, as I recall.

Because they took such great pictures of those WMDs moving around Iraq on trucks.
