Secret U.S. military flights carried officials, equipment to N. Korea

So it seems U.S officials are secretely transporting material to the North Korea at the same time as North Korea is putting on a charade making it look like they hate the U.S. Is this all just according to plan? Is North Korea willingly playing the boogieman here in exchange for these material according to a secret deal with Washington?

Although the visits had potential implications for Japan, Washington did not inform its security partner at the time and only informally confirmed one of them when the Japanese side pressed, government and other sources in Japan, South Korea and the United States said. The U.S. State Department even warned the Foreign Ministry against making further inquiries, saying they would harm bilateral relations, the sources said.

It seems we have the Japanese to thank for this information, although an obvious attempt was made to keep it secret even from them, officially.

The Japanese government only learned about the flights after receiving reports from hobbyists monitoring activity at military bases and also analyzing air traffic flight plans. When the Japanese side submitted an official inquiry, U.S. officials expressed frustration that the request had been made, citing the subject's confidential nature. The State Department warned Japan against inquiring further, saying Washington-Tokyo ties could be damaged.

So in reality, the relations with North Korea may not be as bad as they officially want the public to think. This seems like more fear mongering to keep the tax-payers happily supporting the military in the future, with always a few boogieman around the corner to keep the fear level high.

Maybe they were not taking people in, but helping to smuggle people OUT. Would make sense to help any defectors escape, particularly if they were involved in NKs Nuclear program

Would also explain why they wanted it kept secret and quiet so as not to disrupt the people pipeline in place

it wouldn't surprise me at all what you present
all this tension is a cover

it also wouldn't surprise too if secretly we were delivering a couple gifts to help (n.korea/iran) along

If you would have bothered to read the article, it would be obvious that it was no secret to the North Koreans, with which they met and discussed "business". It was secret only to the general public and other countries.

This basically means everything you said makes no sense at all. Try again.

the other article which is linked at bottom of op's article makes better reading
with the UN demanding nuclear controls
japan doesn't play into nuclear arms so they truly don't need possess a need to know
this article is from op's...linked at bottom
gives a more indepth of what's going on

current tensions are a after this fact...ajw.asahi.com...

Firstly, no need to be rude

Secondly, maybe read my point again. I said maybe they were trying to smuggle people OUT. They cannot just land in NK, it would have to be agreed at state level. So maybe they arranged a secret meeting as a cover or a distraction to get someone out. Just a hypothesis that's all.

Regardless of any feelings on the OP of the linked thread, thought you might get a kick out of a previous post I made.

I've never thought of the idea of North Korea being a "secret weapon" for the West. Held in reserve to unleash the population and destabilize the region at the right time.

What a brilliantly terrible tactic.

I think it's far more likely up is down in regards to whatever relations are really going on behind the scenes, so there is stuff worth paying attention to regarding this and similar things that aren't public despite supposedly operating on the behalf of the public.

If you read the bottom line the visit was to dig up and smuggle out bodies of US servicement killed in action in N korea.....(presumably)....

Yeah right! The administration that wouldn't lift a finger to protect any Americans in Benghazi is performing ultra secret flights to save random people from North Korea. What world do you live in?

Typical cover story.

There is bound to be quite a bit more to this them meets the eye and it won't be good for anyone but those running the show of conquer the world.

well it is nice to see the fear being put out when it was all part of a preplanned agreement,

The third visit that The Asahi Shimbun has confirmed is one that took place in November 2011. Sources said at least one military aircraft from the Guam air base loaded heavy equipment, including bulldozers, at Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo and flew to Pyongyang.

It is believed that the delegation included officials from the U.S. Pacific Command. They met with North Korean officials and discussed efforts to recover the remains of U.S. soldiers killed during the 1950-53 Korean War, the sources said.

When Japan inquired about this visit, U.S. officials unofficially confirmed that it had taken place, the sources said.

Please check a related article at (ajw.asahi.com...).

well known fact: in 1994 we were trying to help them build a nuke power plant if DPRK
agreed to the talks , we all know how that turned out.

My preferred tool for search for human remains has always been a bulldozer.

back hoe would have been my tool to use lol. things we do to please other nations, wonder what else we gave then to get some of our boys home? Chips, Computers, meds, food,or weapon tech? you or i will never know.

And is this the main endeavor going on there or just a nice cover for the real issue.

While we are digging, you guys know anything about the Iran nuclear bomb program we can chit chat about? Can we give you a truck load of Ipods and you give us a look at your files? By the way, this thing right here is a memorial for the site, no spyware inside of it.

Guess I am low on trust nowadays.
