The Media Is Lying About Construction At Sohae Launch Facility (Maybe, contrarian story re NK)
Disobedient Media ^ | March 8, 2019 | William Kraddick

Posted on 03/10/2019 3:00:04 AM PDT by cba123

In the aftermath of the Hanoi Summit, President Trump has been barraged with attempts to undermine his confidence in the good faith of Kim Jong Un and his intentions to deal fairly with the United States in the negotiation process concerning denuclearization and de-escalation of tensions on the Korean Peninsula. One of the primary causes of concern has been a series of reports from NBC News claiming that “commercial” satellite footage shows that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been engaging in fresh construction at their Sohae Launch Facility in preparation for an alleged missile launch or test.

Not only is the use of the term “commercial” misleading in nature, but analysis of the photos indicates that the activity at the Sohae facility is related to deconstruction. The reports are driven by a number of entities with connections to the Central Intelligence Agency and a number of other special interests which call into credibility both the veracity of the reports and the journalistic integrity of NBC News.

Please see full story at the link.

Ok people I do not know about this story.

I do not know about this source. The only thing I know is that the supposed source seems to directly contradict the mainstream media on this story, ...

And there is a media report that the source (might) be more conservative than the original source.

So I am posting this, just to offer the possible, contradictory version of the story.

With credit to Texas News Studio.

Where I saw the original story link.

They’re lying. Both of them. I’ll give DM a look but too many “And that’s the way it is” from Cronkite convinced me the MSM is always lying.

Exactly.

Yes. That is the source mentioned, by the reporter.

I am not familiar with the source. But I know the mainstream media is (often) way outside credibility, and there was the mention that the sourse (DM) might in fact be more conservative.

Again, I am not familiar with the source. But maybe some of you are.

Make up your own minds.

Thank you.

Incredible! Defense contractors, in association with tech giants , are undermining our President’s effort to bring world peace. Makes sense. Defense contractors and AI spy entities do not benefit from peace. The Deep State is deeper than we imagine.

One of the biggest problem that is created by 'fake news' is that we the peons, have no real way of knowing fact from fiction from pure bullshit.

The guide that I've been using is, "If the media says it, I doubt it". Not a good way to go through the little time that I have left on earth.

The US knows the truth, just they cannot tell us, lest capabilities be exposed and so lost.

But back in the day - way way back - when cell phones were an unbelievable impossible Sci-fi device, we could not only read the paper a person was reading but count how many hairs they had.

So you imagine that photo is even remotely accurate? We can, I would guess today, read the serial numbers on the smallest parts - even if they are covered by another material.

The FBI is corrupt scum. The CIA makes the FBI look good.

Number 2 post link presents a pretty good case for the news stories about construction being fake.

"connections to the Central Intelligence Agency "

The only "connections" needed to the CIA are from a short rope and a tall object!

Trump is focused on NK because he is going to destroy Iran. These two countries along with some others share missile and nuke technology. Halting shipments to Syria and Iran of missile technology has been a long sought goal of the US. Mere inspections on the high seas was never enough. Today, Trump is doing the layman work to break the triad of relations that have allowed rouge states to export illegally missile tech. Iran is going to lose their long time ally.

Isn’t stripping Iran’s trade allies enough fruit from NK? Trump is Winning.

The lies are spreading. I heard a report on NPR Friday morning that Kim was rebuilding this site.

Mr Craddick has ZERO evidence for his claims.

Donald Trump does not need myths - the North Koreans are not REALLY doing anything bad - to know what’s going on.

The North Korean behavior is normal following the Hanoi talks DJT walked out of - he demanded real compliance on denuclearizaion, they wanted to just make promises.

So, the North is resorting to their “we’re REALLY going to do it” blackmail, as their tactic to get DJT back to the negotiations.

The article is dumb. It pretends what is really going on in North Korea is not going on, and it’s all a conspiracy against Trump. They - the authors - Craddick et al, are the idiots. Trump is not.

Well like I said, I don’t know this source.

I know Texas News Studio, as a viewer. They’re pretty good in my view.

They picked up the story.

We will see...

Yes that is what I had heard as well.

This is just another data point, is all.

We will see.

From the article; In June 2018, Disobedient Media reported that the CIA was using Ken Dilanian, a known media asset of the Agency, to push reports with NBC News claiming that the DPRK was increasing nuclear production at “secret sites” without providing any actual evidence for such claims.

If outfits like CIA are operating without complete confidence and authority from the president, and he can do nothing to correct the situation, that's dangerous. It would be bad in a world completely at peace where you had no enemies.

I can speculate along with the best fake news purveyors.

A crane or cranes are not evidence of construction

To disassemble, to remove, a crane is required to start at the top

The fact is, we do not know what is happening.

My belief is that Kim wants to move forward and his old hard line advisors want to play games and not lose their individual power and insist on the status quo
