Incheon Int'l Airport begins security interviews for U.S.-bound travellers - Duration: 2:07.

The United States is requiring incoming flights from other countries to implement tougher

security measures, including passenger interviews.

Korea's main gateway, Incheon International Airport, began the new screening today.

But despite reports the process could create an hour or more delay, that wasn't the case,

at least on day one.

Park Hee-jun tells us more.

As of Thursday, travelers heading to the United States or its territories from Incheon International

Airport,... will have to go through additional security measures before arriving at the gate.

This follows the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's request to tighten passenger

screening on 180 airlines in 105 countries last June, amid growing concerns on terrorism.

They already began screening portable electronics devices, such as smartphones and notebooks

in July.

But beginning this week,... security interviews at the ticket counters of Korean low-cost

carriers and U.S. fliers,... or at boarding gates are being added to the screening process.

Korea's major carriers--Korean Air and Asiana Airlines--however, have managed to put off

the implementation of the security interview until next year.

(standup) "Travelers to the U.S. were told to arrive

at the airport 3 to 4 hours before departure,... but despite concerns that security interviews

would be time-consuming,... it turns out... the checks do not affect check-in times of

travelers as much as expected."

(Korean) "It barely took a minute.

I think travelers can arrive at the usual time."

(English) "I was asked where we were staying, how far

away we were from another hotel, and why we were here,... maybe 2 minutes to ask us all

the questions."

Airport officials say that with additional employees and the earlier opening of check-in

counters,... there won't be that much extra airport traffic.

Some airlines are opening their check-in desks three to four hours before departure for flights

to the U.S.

And to save time, airline employees are conducting the interview while passengers are waiting

in line, to help make the process more convenient for travelers.

North Korea cower to US pressure and return captured fishing boat as 'humanitarian act' - Duration: 4:13.

North Korea cower to US pressure and return captured fishing boat as 'humanitarian act'

said it will release the boat on Friday for humanitarian reasons after the boat was found illegally in waters under the Norths control six days ago, the state-controlled media group the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

North Korea said it reached its decision to release the boat after taking into account the fact that all the crewmen honestly admitted their offence, repeatedly apologising and asking for leniency".

In a statement, the KCNA said: The DPRK side decided to repatriate the boat and its crew from the humanitarian point of view, taking into account the fact that all the crewmen honestly admitted their offence, repeatedly apologising and asking for leniency.

It will repatriate the boat and its crew at the designated waters of the military boundary line in the East Sea. The boat and its crew were captured October 21 and they will be released on October 27, the news agency said.

An investigation by the North proved the boat and crew had entered North Korean waters for fishing. fishing boats, because of age or low fuel, have been found drifting south of the maritime border between the two Koreas at times.

Most North Korean crew are released to the North after interrogations by intelligence officials if they wish to return. It is more unusual for South Korean fishing vessels to be found under similar circumstances.

The Souths Unification Ministrys spokesman Baik Tae-hyun said the Norths message via its state agency early on Friday was the first contact Seoul had received regarding the vessel, Baik told a regular media briefing.

The incident comes amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula between the North, South and the has been ramping up threats towards the US and South Korea, increasing testing of in recent months.

The most recent test took place on September 3 at the Punggye-ri Test Site which was so powerful it was registered as a 5.7 magnitude earthquake by the South Korean government.

China and the also registered it as an earthquake at an even-stronger 6.3 magnitude. issued another warning to the US as a senior diplomat from Pyongyang said warnings of a possible atmospheric nuclear test over the Pacific Ocean should be taken "literally".

is set to make a visit to Asia next week in a bid to highlight his campaign to put pressure on to give up its nuclear and missile programs.

The President told reporters on the White House South Lawn: "Id rather not say but youll be surprised." China agreed to UN sanctions on the hermit state which would limit countries from importing crude oil, iron, lead and coal.

Mr Trump has called for Beijing to do more to put pressure on North Korea. to release a captured South Korean fishing boat as a humanitarian act.

China wants to work WITH US to 'control disputes' after hitting out over North Korea - Duration: 3:24.

China wants to work WITH US to 'control disputes' after hitting out over North Korea

wants to "control disputes" with the United States after the nations had clashed over the rogue state.  Both countries have worked hard to improve interaction between their militaries to avoid any confusion in areas such as the South China Sea, where both regularly fly military aircraft and sail warships.

Beijing has been angered in recent months by what it viewed as provocative US military flights and naval patrols in the disputed East China Sea and South China Sea.

It is reportedly suspicious of the close US defence ties with South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and India.

It comes amid soaring tensions on the Korean Peninsula over Kim Jong-un's missile programme, and as the United States seeks to push China into more assertively restraining North Korea The comments were made by Chinas Defence Ministry ahead of President Trump's visit to Beijing.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said last week that Washington was open to the idea of inviting others, including Australia, to join a US-India-Japan security cooperation, something Beijing has blasted as an attempt by democracies to gang up on it.

Speaking at a monthly news briefing, Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said he was happy to see positive developments in military relations with the United States.

He said: "Looking to the future, we are willing to work with the US side to respect each other, deepen mutual trust, focus on practical exchanges and cooperation and appropriately manage and control disputes, to continue injecting positive energy in the development of ties." China, a strategic rival to the United States and India, is also vital to s efforts to roll back North Koreas efforts to create nuclear-armed missiles capable of reaching the United States, an issue expected to top the agenda in his Beijing visit in November.

He said that economic pressure is the most important diplomatic effort at the moment as they hold North Korea's economy in their hands; 93 per cent of exports go to China, and Beijing controls the nation's oil flow.

He commended the "willingness" of China to adjust their policies to the real uncertainties form Pyongyang but encouraged them to do more.

US wants to 'use LETHAL FORCE in terror war' by arming drones after special forces killed - Duration: 3:59.

US wants to 'use LETHAL FORCE in terror war' by arming drones after special forces killed

The possibility of arming drones in the African nation has been escalated following the recent attack on a Green Beret unit that resulted in the deaths of four Americans.

Former Bush administration counterterrorism adviser, Juan Zarate, said: It demonstrates that the US is expanding its use of lethal force.

"It also demonstrates that the war on terror is migrating. According to military and intelligence officials, the latest casualties have prompted calls for the US to take a more aggressive stance in their African operations.

If the US arm their Reapers, it would follow in the footsteps of France that has already equipped its unmanned aircraft with lethal capabilities. US officials are said to be confronting Niger's government to allow US military forces to arm their drones.

Both Niger and its neighbour, Mali, are considered to be ripe breeding grounds for terrorist ideals with both ISIS and Al Qaeda said to be recruiting in the region.

The US believes that the group that ambushed the Green Berets were part of a group with an allegiance to ISIS.

The Obama administration was a big proponent of not allowing the armament of drones, however, moves to reverse the decision have been brewing for a while, according to NBC.

If US drones in the Niger were to be armed, they would join the likes of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and Syria that have all been occupied by armed Reapers.

Colonel Rob Manning, a Defence Department spokesman, stated that he would not comment on "possible initiatives by the administration".

He added: "The Department of Defence will always ensure our forces are properly equipped and have the necessary capabilities to accomplish their mission and defeat any threat. Officials claim that the Green Berets were targeted while performing a counterterrorism mission in the area from which only scarce details have emerged since the incident took place three weeks ago.

Reports of potential drone armament in Niger comes as it was recently revealed that next-generation tanks will ditch "human senses" for "algorithms and cameras" in a new vision set for the 2030s.

The new military initiative is an attempt to protect the lives of drivers that currently poke their heads out to observe their surroundings.

The next-generation of tanks are set to be equipped with a variation of infrared and visible-light cameras to provide the driver inside the tank with a 360-degree view of their surroundings.

Cameras will combine with Algorithms onboard the tanks that will be essential in delivering vital sensor enhancements that are one of the key reasons for ditching human senses.

JFK Assassination: US declassifies some files, delays release of others - Duration: 1:41.

"Now turning off to Elm Street, and it will only be a matter of minutes

before he arrives at the Trade Mart,

It appears as though something has happened in the motorcade route,

something, I repeat, has happened in the motorcade route."

November 22, 1963...

A date that's gone down in history.

More than 50 years later,

the assassination of president John F. Kennedy

remains of the most contentious events in American history.

"Before that day,

Americans were remarkably trusting

in the credibility of their government.

After November 22,

the deterioration began."

The theories are many:

the president was killed by the Russians,

it was a Mafia hit,

some even think it was a covered coup d'Etat.

Today, after decades of doubts,

Americans hope to uncover the truth,

as the F.B.I. releases 3.100 never-before seen files

on the J.F.K. murder investigation.

The government's official line is that Kennedy was killed

by a young former U.S. Marine named Lee Harvey Oswald,

who acted alone.

While experts say not to expect a revelation of any bombshells,

like the possibility of a second shooter,

there could be new evidence of an elaborate C.I.A. cover-up.

"I think the evidence is pretty clear that Oswald was the only shooter,

what I don't eliminate is the possibility he was encouraged to do it,

was aided to do it,

or at least that he told other people he was going to do it."

Intelligence agencies claimed they knew little of Oswald before the assassination,

but previously declassified C.I.A. documents

showed the agency had been monitoring him

as early as 1959, when he tried to defect to Moscow.

HIGH RANKING US GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL BLOWS WHISTLE ON UFOS A WEEK AFTER LEAVING THE PENTAGON - Duration: 9:08.

HIGH RANKING US GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL BLOWS WHISTLE ON UFOS A WEEK AFTER LEAVING THE PENTAGON

BY ARJUN WALIAOCTOBER

�Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered.

. . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.

I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this

planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.� Who is this high ranking official that �blew

the whistle� on the reality of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)?

His name is Luis Elizondo, and he�s the current Director of Global Security and Special

Programs for the recently launched To The Stars Academy.

Elizondo is just one of many prestigious individuals to join the academy.

A career intelligence officer, his experience includes working in the U.S. Army, the Department

of Defense, and the National Counterintelligence Executive, and he spent time as the Director

of National Intelligence.

He�s also managed the security for several sensitive projects for the U.S. government

as the Director for the National Programs Special Management Staff.

For the last 10 years of his career, Elizondo �ran a sensitive aerospace threat identification

program focusing on unidentified aerial technologies.� Where he learned that, as he mentions in the

video below at approximately the 20 minute at 50 second mark, �the phenomenon is indeed

real.�

Related CE Article: Is A False Flag Alien Invasion In The Works?

Wernher Von Bruans Colleague Seems To Think So

To The Stars aims to make the reality of UFOs public knowledge.

Some of these objects perform maneuvers and travel at speeds that defy our understanding

of physics, and Elizondo is just one of many people trying to raise awareness about it.

As New York Times best-selling author and journalist Leslie Keen explains in an article

she wrote for The Huffington Post:

Something extraordinary was revealed today.

Former high-level officials and scientists with deep black experience who have always

remained in the shadows came forward on one platform.

These insiders have long-standing connections to government agencies which may have programs

investigating unidentifed (sic) aerial phenomena (UAP/UFOs).

The team includes a 25-year veteran of the CIA�s Directorate of Operations, a Lockheed

Martin Program Director for Advanced Systems at �Skunk Works�, and a former deputy

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.

Keen describes meeting Elizondo a week after he resigned from the Pentagon to work for

the academy, saying, �In short, less that two weeks after leaving the Pentagon, Luis

Elizondo confirmed that UFOs are a real; they exist, and they have been officially documented.

Can anyone argue with this fact now, given where this man comes from and what he knows?�

The great thing about the initiative is that it focuses on bringing these technologies

to light and creating awareness on how they can be used to push humanity forward.

Although technology is not the answer to all our problems, but rather the consciousness

behind the technology and how we use it, UFOs do present a number of questions, with propulsion

systems being one of them.

They�re certainly not stopping at the gas station for a fill-up.

�There is another way, whether it�s wormholes, or warping space, there�s got to be a way

to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they�re

[extraterrestrials] here shows us that they found a way.�

� Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Nebraska

The To The Stars team says they have been �operating under the shadows of top-secrecy

for decades� and believes that �there is sufficient credible evidence of UAP that

proves exotic technologies exist that could revolutionize the human experience.�

This Is What the Secret Government Doesn�t Want You to Know

This initiative is in collaboration with the U.S. government, as mentioned in their live

Facebook Stream, which you can also view below.

(left to right) Luis Elizondo, Jim Semivan, Stephen Justice, Hal Puthoff, and Christopher

Mellon at a recent meeting in Seattle

Is This Part of a Government Deception Plan?

The fact that everyone involved is a high ranking official from within deep programs

of the government might raise suspicions, as it�s no secret that much of the American

population does not trust their government to accurately disclose important information,

There are countless examples of government deception and lies.

Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, among others, have made this abundantly clear over the past

few years.

This isn�t to say there aren�t good people within the government, people working for

the good of humanity, but the problem is that Western governments have been completely taken

over by the Deep State.

The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls

its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation.

. . . The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government

for their own selfish purposes.

They practically control both parties � [and] control the majority of the newspapers and

magazines in this country.

� John F. Hylan, Mayor of New York City from 1918-1925

Could this recent mainstream initiative be a true disclosure movement?

Or is Tom Delonge simply being used by the United States government to further some hidden

own agenda?

Do they want to confirm the reality of UFOs, but debunk the extraterrestrial hypothesis

by stating t hese craft are all manmade?

Do they want to create more awareness so they can perform a �false flag alien invasion�?

There are many questions to be asked here, and we can only hope things will become clearer

as time goes on.

It�s an unfortunate reality that trusting the government has become so difficult.

Their tendency to take real events and spin them to push certain agendas is well documented,

and makes it difficult to know what�s really going on in the world.

That�s why doing your own independent research on this topic, or any other, for that matter,

is so important.

High ranking officials like Elizondo have been coming out for decades, and so have video

footage and other documentation.

Why, now, does the To The Stars academy receive so much attention?

Why have the efforts of those who share the same passion as Delonge gone virtually ignored?

It�s concerning when the narrative we receive and accept as truth, the narrative that gets

attention, always comes from authority figures like government agencies.

It�s usually their voice and their perspective alone that are heard and preached as truth.

I�m not saying that there is ill intent with this initiative, because it truly seems

to be supported by passion and good will, but when it comes to the government, who really

knows.

It will be interesting to follow this initiative to see what develops from it.

But remember, video footage, evidence, documentation, and whistleblowers have been coming out for

years.

This is nothing new.

So far, at least on the surface, things seem pretty innocent here, and it seems like a

step forward toward creating more awareness about the fact that yes, these objects do

exist, and some of them could be extraterrestrial craft, while others might simply be advanced,

classified technology of our own.

Hopefully the idea of extraterrestrials visiting us, and what seems to be that reality, isn�t

used by the global elite for selfish, greedy or �dark� purposes.

If we want any type of truth on this matter, with so much misinformation out there, investigating

for ourselves is critical.

�Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered.

. . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.

I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this

planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.� � Dr. Edgar Mitchell

Meeting between U.S. and N. Korean officials cancelled: TBS - Duration: 0:42.

A meeting between key officials from Washington and Pyongyang has been abruptly canceled.

Hopes were high that U.S. State Department's special representative for North Korea policy

Joseph Yun... and senior North Korean diplomat Choe Sun-hee... could discuss ways to make

some positive steps towards dialogue between the two nations.

Unfortunately, according to Japan's Tokyo Broadcasting System the anticipated unofficial

event in Oslo was cancelled by the reclusive regime.

Citing a diplomatic source, it's reported the communist state blamed the Seoul-Washington

combined military exercises.

The two officials have met before.

Back in May, they held talks on the return of American detainees in North Korea.

N. Korea tells U.S. to take nuclear test threat 'literally' - Duration: 0:57.

A senior North Korean official has warned the U.S. that it should take Pyongyang's threat

of setting off a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific ocean "literally"-- telling CNN that the country

has always backed its words with action.

Referring to foreign minister Ri Yong-ho's remarks last month in New York, when he said

the regime would set off an H-bomb in the Pacific,... the official said Ri is very well

aware of Kim Jong-un's intentions.

The official also implied that diplomatic channels between the U.S. and North Korea

are non-existent, despite U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's recent insistence that--

they are still open.

He also said Washington is deeply mistaken if it thinks the kind of pressure it's putting

on Pyongyang -- through military drills and sanctions -- will lead to a diplomatic resolution.

North Korea's H-bomb threat came shortly after President Trump's now famous speech at the

UN where he said the U.S. would "totally destroy" the regime.

U.S. takes aim at North Korea's human rights abuses with blacklist - Duration: 2:13.

The United States has slapped fresh sanctions on seven North Korean individuals and three

entities over the regime's human rights abuses.

Coming under direct target are officials of the North Korean government and the ruling

Workers' Party of Korea.

Park Jong-hong has the details.

Taking issue with human rights abuses, the U.S. has added new names to its sanctions.

The blacklist comprises seven North Korean individuals including Chung Youngsoo, the

labor minister and Jo Kyongchol, the commander of the Military Security Command, which monitors

activities negative toward the regime and leadership.

Also included are three entities engaged in overseas construction.

In a statement, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said North Korea is run by a brutal

regime that commits flagrant human rights abuses.

He added the U.S. is especially concerned with the military that operates as secret

police "punishing all forms of dissent."

Under the sanctions, all assets and interests within U.S. jurisdiction will be frozen and

transactions with U.S. nationals completely banned.

The State Department had even harsher words for the North.

Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said North Korean human rights abuses remain among the worst

in the world and involve extrajudicial killings, forced labor, torture, as well as rape.

She noted that the forced labor of thousands of workers overseas is earning revenue for

the regime and underwriting its weapons program.

In related news, the U.S.-based Committee for Human Rights in North Korea has revealed

satellite pictures of North Korea's prison camps.

One of the committee's counsels, David Hawk, said there are more than six thousand people

detained in just one single gulag located in Gaechon and they are forced to make leather

goods.

He said many of the prisoners die in detention.

This is part of an extensive report published by the committee detailing the human rights

abuses of North Korea.

South Korea, U.S. to hold annual military meetings on Friday and Saturday - Duration: 1:42.

As U.S. President Donald Trump will be visiting South Korea in less than two weeks... diplomatic

activities by the allies shift into high gear mainly on ways to improve coordination in

dealing with Pyongyang.

Most noteworty among these efforts: an annual meeting between the defense ministers of Seoul

and Washington.

Kim Hyun-bin outlines what to expect from that event taking place this weekend.

South Korea and the U.S. are scheduled to hold their annual Security Consultative Meeting

in Seoul on Saturday, a day after the allies' Military Committee Meeting.

The meeting on Friday will be lead by the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the two sides, while

Saturday's meeting will be headed by Seoul's Defense Minister Song Young-moo and his U.S.

counterpart James Mattis.

The allies plan to have in-depth discussions on enhancing extended deterrence against North

Korea's ever-expanding nuclear and ballistic missile threats.

They are also expected to discuss alliance policies, including the early transfer of

wartime operational control from Washington to Seoul, which is one of the key goals of

the Moon Jae-in administration.

The annual meetings are the allies' top military consultations channels.

However this year's talks mark the first since President Moon and Trump took office.

U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis is set to arrive in Seoul early Friday for his

second visit as Pentagon chief.

He is scheduled to take a tour of front line units shortly after his arrival.

Speaking to reporters this week,... Mattis stressed that Washington's top priority is

to resolve North Korea issues diplomatically.

Minister Song and Mattis met on the sidelines of the ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting-Plus

in the Philippines earlier this week.

They held their first face-to-face at the Pentagon in August.
