ANALYSIS SUMMARY: OSINT and relationships place Bill Richardson as a key connection point between corrupt humanitarian aid orgs (Red Cross example), human trafficking (NK as an example), vulnerable populations targeted, pedophile group (Epstein, Gorman), government authority to influence key decisions, relationship with UN particularly in humanitarian aid circles, history of corruption, and NGO's.

Notes on Eric Schmidt in North Korea (NOTICE NEWS ARTICLE DATES):
01/07/2013 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/jan/07/google-eric-schmidt-trip-pyongyang
note: traveled with Bill Richardson, former Democratic governor of New Mexico who had been there multiple times before
note: "This is odd: it doesn't make sense for the chairman of Google to help rescue Americans from North Korea. Clearly, there has to be another agenda here that nobody is talking about."

note: Schmit quote contradicts 2013 - “When I went to North Korea (in 2013), it was with the goal of improving communications between individuals,” he continued. “(But) it’s not possible and not legal to do business there in any material way.”
note: notice he said "improving communications between individuals" and Google stated in 2013 it was not business related. analysis: He was setting up backchannel comms.
