New Declassification Process To Open 400 Million Pages of Records
linzeal writes "The newly minted National Declassification Center has been tasked by President Obama with eliminating the backlog of more than 400 million pages of classified records that are more than 25 years old by the end of 2013. The National Archives has prepared a draft prioritization plan to guide its declassification activities, and has invited public input on the plan. A public forum on the subject will be held on June 23. This may be a bonanza for the community of historians and intelligence buffs who have been left without significant source material to work with, in some cases since WWII, especially in terms of any information on cryptography, image analysis, and espionage."
"...eliminating the backlog of more than 400 million pages of classified records..."
Sounds like a job for FIRE!
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
Conspiracy theorists, start your engines! There's gonna be enough red herrings and other tidbits of fodder to keep them going until the next "great document declassification dump" comes along. Enjoy!
No worries, that's what they have Adobe for.
Don't know something? Look it up. Still don't know? Then ask.
Finally, you'll all see that there *were* aliens at Roswell. "Those Air Force bases were just testing secret aircraft and spy-gear," you said. "The military cover-ups were to keep the Soviets from finding out about our secret spying programs," you said. "It's no coincidence that all those UFO sightings just happened to be around secretive military bases at the height of the Cold War," you said. "Move out of my basement," my Mom said.
Now you'll all see, and you'll finally respect me for realizing that the most obvious explanation for strange lights around Air Forces bases and secretive military coverups during the Cold War-era was that we were being visited by aliens who had traveled across the vast distances of interstellar space to shove probes up our asses.
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
I wonder how many black magic markers that takes.
What's a hipocrate? A big box of short hippos?
For large sets, this will be our guide even unto death, for the LORD will work for each type of data it is applied to...
