“… The international, independent, investigation… was objective. The evidence… overwhelming. The conclusion… inescapable.” Hillary Clinton
Striking new evidence shows that the Joint Investigation Report on the Sinking of the ROK Cheonan, the 300+ page final report by the Joint Investigation Group, has been tampered with and in fact a key picture of the evidence was actually photoshopped by the Joint Investigation Group to fit a drawing of the CHT-O2D torpedo.
Yesterday we reported that the official comparison photo had an odd numerical value assigned to a certain part of the motor which made a section labeled as 33.3cm much shorter than a section labeled as 27cm.
Today I figured out why…
When running a drafting program like Autocad (I have 6 years experience mechanical and architectural drafting with Autocad) you can insert a photo into the working space of the drawing and then pull dimensions off of it. If you stretch the photo afterward, the dimension points will move as well because they are locked to certain points on the photo itself. So, if you shrink the photo, the dimension itself will also shrink unless you have your system set to “lock” the values of the dimensions after you pull them.
In that case, the value would remain the same as the original dimension no matter how much you shrank the photo and that would explain why the official comparison photo in the JIG final report claims that 27cm is larger than 33.3cm. The values of the dimension were “locked” when the photo was brought in BEFORE they photoshopped it to “fit” the drawing.
To prove my point I am going to simply use images from two official sources… 1. the official video of the recovery of the torpedo evidence and 2. the Joint Investigation Report on the Sinking of the ROK Cheonan pdf (image, “Summary – 3′, on page 31…). All aspect ratios remain as presented by the official source.
1.
2. Notice that in the report image, the motor seems wider than it is long, but in the video of the recovery of the evidence that is not the case.
3. Closer inspection makes this difference even more obvious.
4. When the technician photoshopped or “shrank” (stretched) the image to fit the requirements of the drawing, he forgot to reset the value of the dimension that was pulled prior to that process which left the odd value of 33.3cm being shorter than 27cm. This is a dead give-away of photoshopping in cad.
Finally, when you compare the images side by side with certain reference points, you can clearly see what they did.
This is absolute proof of the Joint Investigation Group’s tampering with evidence and it should be presented before the United Nations Security Council along with all the other valuable evidence being compiled as we speak that proves the JIG report’s fraudulent nature.
Since the very beginning of this process, the JIG has been fabricating ways to try to make this “evidence” they found fit the conclusion they wanted.
This is just another example of the fraudulent nature of the entire JIG report and its overall findings. The results of any investigation marred with such repeated deceit can not and should not be allowed to go unchallenged on any level, much less an international condemnation which has resulted in the dangerous escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula.
[In order to give credit where it is due, I want to thank Kay for pointing out the dimension discrepancy to me in the first place. Kay also linked me to the official video of the recovery of the "evidence'. This unofficial effort is truly a grass-roots "bottom up" investigation being conducted by concerned citizens across the globe.]

Scott, this appears to be pretty damning evidence. Do you have a way of contacting those S Koreans who made use of your previous investigations in S.K or will we just have to hope that they drop by and see it?
Thanks Scott,
Great job…you’ve even proven how the motor size become like that. I was thinking that there are two different motors. Good job, Scott, and I thank you again. I am sure somebody will translate this article to a Korean media or a website…and I am sure the JIG members do remember you…Congratulation, now you are one of enemy of them…and so am I.
Shawn;
Several links from these sources are still sending people here and they have translated some of the recent articles I have done to Korean.

I can’t tell from their websites which links are to their email addresses, since they are in Korean.
So I don’t really have a way to let them know this new article is up. Hopefully someone who is bilingual will be good enough to send a copy to them because I think it is an important discovery.
There are many people who are reviewing the JIG final report and coming up with major discrepencies, but the good thing about this one is its very easy to make clear to the average reader. Once these images are placed side by side, you can easily see what they did. Mix that in with the mistake the draftsman made, and you have perfect evidence of deliberate tampering with the evidence. Anyone can understand it and it cannot be refuted.
So I hope that someone will forward this to Seoprise and Daum and Kaist and anyone else who is interested in presenting the truth of the Cheonan incident.
Kay;
Thank you Kay. As I stated, your input was invaluable in this effort. I think this is a perfect example of how valuable “unofficial” investigations can be and how desperately we need to protect the freedom of the internet.
Scott,
thanks for your comment.
Thinking about they were so close to another war arround end of May, We had to do something to stop new war.
And I believe that your several article had so much effect to Korean people, especially to those who uses internet a lot. You played really important role, since so many Korean could not stand up and say against the goverment. They are still in the cold-war, the old one. Do not worry, somebody will introduce your artile to Korean people, and I guess you know who…
The CHT-02D shall be a 21″ torpedo? This means 53,3 cm diameter! Sorry, but I can see roughly about 35 cm in this properly numbered drawing:
http://www.seoprise.com/board/view.php?uid=200875&table=seoprise_12&field_gubun=%C3%B5%BE%C8%C7%D4
In an older sketch of a CHT-02d (must have been from this export brochure after the “Sorry we got the wrong drawing in the 1st conferene, now we have the right one!”) the torpedo seemed to be more compact. I don’t have the link, but the file on HD, could email it.
AND the motor seemed to be connected directly to the shaft, with no empty space in between like in the official report on page 31, Figure summary -3. So the motor would have a length of about 40 cm in total with all connected plates and stuff like in the photo.
Photoshop, go again, next try! Morph it until it fits!
I too have read the Report and find no evidence to tie the sinking of the
Cheonan to any action by the DPRK. There is no evidence offered that any surveillance equipment on US or Japanese satellites, on US or ROK aircraft or their ships detected the presence of a North Korean vessel or of any sonar signal of a fired torpedo. The conclusion of DPRK involvement appears to have been forced onto the evidence.
There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 2003 and similarly there is no evidence of DPRK involvement in the sinking of the Cheonan in 2010.
The people of Korea and the people of the US and the rest of the world have a common interest in exposing fraud and preventing wars.
Thanks Scott for your contribution.
Eric and Scott,
Let me provide some more numbers from the video took on the boat:
1) The total length of the part without moror was read as 136cm;
2) The diameter of the shaft is 8cm;
3) The diameter of the motor is 28cm,
4) The length of motor is 47cm.
If the evidences are same in the display and on the boat, I trust the measured numbers are correct on the boat in the video with +/- 5mm error.
But the CAD drwing (assuming the 27-19cm is correct) in the site show:
1) 125.5cm,
2) 5,
3) 28.5
4) about 26-27
I think Scott is right, see the number (No.4).
Erik, you have good point. If the diameter of torpedo is 53,3 cm, the diameter motor should be about 42-43cm, which again does not match with 28cm measured on the boat.
update: someone put this up on Seoprise… thanks…
http://www.seoprise.com/board/view.php?uid=201087&table=seoprise_12
One more thing to Erik,
I also thoght aobut the possibility that the motor can be the one dirrectly to the shuft with left side right.
BUT, if you watch the video, there is another axis (4cm in diameter) in the laft side (not the coil side) insteed of a HOLE which can fit to the end of shuft. Tell me if I am mistaking.
Kay,
the motor probably had its own axis to keep the rotating parts in line.
But there must be something missing on the right (coil) side. As you can see in the official drawing, the two (counterrotating) propellers had their own shaft each. The front propeller was mounted on the outer, hollow shaft and the propeller on the back was mounted on the inner shaft. How to drive these two counterrotating embedded shafts properly with only one electro-motor? There must have been a gear box, even a small one; probably it was a combined motor-gear-box unit. You can see its solid mountings to the torpedo casing in the official drawing: left of the “33.3 cm”-section and left of the propeller shaft(s).
But the JIG left too much space for the gear box in the official photo. In an old (unofficial) drawing I have, the biggest parts of the motor are placed in the thicker section right of the “33.3 cm”-section. This makes sense, because the (missing) outer parts of the motor need space, too. Space, that is not allocated in the “33.3 cm”-section at all. I will mail this drawing to Scott. Perhaps anyone could read the Korean on it, I can’t. Some parts of it or all must have been from the YONHAP NEWS.
What you can say for sure: The JIG had no knowledge about North Korean torpedoes! Instead of asking the North Koreans for help within the last 6 months, they are now faking the drawings at the end. There must be a reason for that.
Compare the drawings of Figure III-8-5 and Figure III-8-6 on page 214 of the Final JIG Report and have a good laugh!
Thank God “The JIG [...] obtained the length of each part after magnifying the image over 10 times in order to confirm the consistency with the evidence.”
And thank God the blueprint knew it was preprinted by North Korea and contained besides Japanese Korean and North Korean Fonts. Otherwise the JIG had to give up.
Erik, If you read the numbers in the text part between two pictures, Fiture III-8-5, and III-8-6, page 214, it says:
“the length from the propeller to the shaft is: 112cm,
propeller: 19cm, the rear: 27cm, propulsion motor: 33.3cm, upper stabilizer: 33cm, and the lower stabilizer was 45cm. All of these coincided with the data from the blueprint.”
I do not see any number near to the number read on the boat (they were speaking in Korean, in the video), as I mentioned part of them ealier:
“Kay, on September 19, 2010 at 3:37 pm: ”
One example: length from the propeller to the end of shaft is 136 (on boat reading), which is much longer than 112cm (written in the report). In fact, according to my calculation in the fitgure iii-8-5 the number should be about 125cm if 19-27cm is correct.
Where is the perfect match? Did you say “have a good laugh!”?, I want to cry….man.
Somehow I can see that nobody had reviewed the report carefully to avoid to take responsibility later probably except a few not-well-educated old military men. I feel it from their Korean writing skill in the report, just like you see my English writing here.
Kay,
you are right, sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh about the cheap tricks or to get angry about being lied to.
Regarding the official drawing / foto comparison of the Final Report I would say they stretched the drawing for about 50% in length to get the photo fit in better. Figure III-8-6 on page 214 has the correct proportions if you follow the official measures. The length of the propulsion section is given with 180,5 cm and the diameter is given with 53,4 cm (21″). That leads to a ratio of 3.38 and fits better to the formerly shown drawing on a press conference:
http://english.chosun.com/site/data/img_dir/2010/05/21/2010052100466_0.jpg
The drawings of the Final Report are corrupted and there is only little or no chance “to confirm the consistency with the evidence” from them. First you would have to restore the original blueprint.
By the way – does anyone know, what this aluminum foil in the rear section was good for? Just to protect the “serial number” and ensure a better identification in case the torpedo is used? Or is there a good reason for its existance?
Eric,
It looked like aluminum foil in the video, but it was not. I can’t find the picture right now (I will try to find it later), but it was a rusted white lid to cover the place where the No.1 is written.
It had 4 holes (?) for screw at the edge, if I remember correctly.
Someone made a CAD file:
http://www.seoprise.com/board/view.php?uid=200875&table=seoprise_12&field_gubun=%C3%B5%BE%C8%C7%D4
which is only a example when 19-27cm is assumed to be correct.
You are right, if you lock value of the diameter of the torpedo, as 533mm, you will find a lot of odd numbers again, none of number will match to the text part.
I think this is enough, Scott did good job, he made “absolute proof” using his last several articles. Thanks to Scott again.
Hope Scott can find out what was really happen in the Ship, Cheonan.
This is the drawing I mentioned earlier:
http://news.joins.com/component/yonhap/201005/GYH2010052000130004400_P2.jpg
The placing of the inner parts of the electric motor makes more sense.
Let’s see, what the next inescapable drawing will bring…

I think what we are seeing here is an effort to respin this fraudulent report, after the fact, so it looks less like the deliberate frame-up the Russians and the Chinese (and the Swedish team) appear to think it is.
What they will typically do is let the whole thing blow over with their new set of “facts” then in a couple of months, they’ll just refer back to this report “as if” no one ever questioned it’s conclusions. This is standard operating proceedure for these criminals and liars.
As far as what I think happened to the Cheonan, I think the answers are partly right there in this report.
They spend a lot of time fabricating the torpedo “evidence” and they also spend a lot of time trying to undermine the initial reports that came out about the Cheonan grounding. I mean, lets face it, that is how it was reported on the radio in the distress call… how does anyone mistake a torpedo explosion that broke the ship in half… for a grounding? Can’t happen.
I believe the Cheonan ran aground, suffered damage to their propulsion system, then, unable to control drift, inadvertantly ran into a mine.
I am still reading the 300 page report and I am also looking into all the information you two have been providing. Thank you so much of the info.
I don’t think this is going to have the same inpact it did back in late May early June because I think most people understand what they are doing but it is important to get it on the record for when they start trying to assert that this report is correct in the future.
They didn’t get the sanctions Hillary Clinton and her globalist buddies wanted and they didn’t get the rest of the world to join with them condemning the North Koreans. In short, they already failed and this is just an effort for them to try and “fix” the obvious fraud they committed for their own sake.
Personally, I think this should be used to get rid of Hillary Clinton. I hope her “investigation” is eventually investigated and she is removed from office. She’s a dangerous globalist, who will obviously do anything she can to further that agenda. The people of Korea deserve to see justice done here. So, I will continue to work on it.
Scott,
Now, I am also trying to find out what really happend to the ship.
For now, grounding is one of the posibilities, but thing is that the only grounding is not enough to explane everything reported in the very begining.
I do not think there was any kind of explosion, not even mine. I will look into the other theory, the submarine theory.
Or, two step accident (or artificial accident) theory which is grounding first then crushing with submarine later.
We will see.
I found this video translated into English, just FYI,
