Everything about the “official narrative” smells fishy.

    it’d be wanting to get a result to the US’s benefit

    How? A sign from the DPRK has zero value beyond “oh that’s kind of neat.” Coups and terrorism have meaningful end goals, not “look at this weird sign I have.”

      How?

      A bungling young adult and a story they can use to vilify the DPRK. And if he actually succeeds? Someone they can escalate with, trying to get him to do more and more. Frats sometimes do hazing type things that are of a similar nature (“steal such and such from so and so”) and they aren’t even that serious as orgs go. I’m genuinely confused as to why it’s so out there to you.

      it’s obviously an entry level mission for the CIA
      they do this bullshit all the time. if you pay attention to Russia’s claims regarding Ukraine FSB (CIA) funded terrost incidents. They often get civilians to do pointless shit (for $$$), and if they succeed, the next “quest” they get is like putting a package at a certain location except hey, this time the package is a bomb.

      The CIA does not give missions under the alias of CIA. They have an incredible amount of front companies and organizations including cults, NGOs, billionaire moguls, foundations of all sorts, and even government organizations like USAID.
