Space Force

Barrett, Rogers consider declassifying secretive space programs

The U.S. Air Force’s top civilian and a key member of Congress agreed Saturday on the need to declassify a large amount of information about America’s military space programs to both intimidate foes and encourage support among the public.

“Declassifying some of what is currently held in secure vaults would be a good idea,” Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett said during a panel at the Reagan National Defense Forum. “You would have to be careful about what we declassify, but there is much more classified than what needs to be.”

The two declined to say how much of the black space portfolio could move into the public, nor when changes would start happening. But Barrett pledged that it would be a focus for her office moving forward, a sign that progress could come during 2020.

So I did a little research, and it IS POSSIBLE to add JavaScript to PDF files. Could that be what we are seeing here? Anybody know how to analyze a PDF file for added logic?

It's an OCR glitch. Select the entire document and copy/paste into a word processor, preferably one with spellchecking (like word) and you will see a bunch of errors. Many will be extra spaces chopping up words and some misspellings.

ETA: Also, if someone wanted to edit every instance they could just directly edit the PDF and Find/replace one word for the other. No need to insert any code of any kind.

Dont forget about Huber too! Just because we havent heard from him, doesnt mean that nothing is going on!

No. No it is not. We have already verified that it is not an OCR glitch. Try reading back from pages 2 days ago. Please keep up.

I always had a strange feeling about that plane's name Lolita?

Lolita (term), a term for a sexually attractive, seductive or precocious young girl

Well, as if all those who were guests on that plane bothered to google it themselves, asking him why this name?
No, they knew on forehand ...

Just because you have convinced yourselves it isn't doesn't mean it isn't.

As usual people are not applying Occam's razor. Copy paste the text and see for yourself how many errors there are.

If anything it should make people mad that shoddy work is being done on the taxpayer's dime but oh well.

ETA: On at least a couple of occasions "Steele" ends up as "St eele". Speculate away!

Im not saying its anything nefarious, and incompetence is high up on the list of possibilities. Im just saying it is not an OCR glitch.

You have to be interested in classical literature to know the proper application of the term. How many elected pinheads do you think have a clue?

Politicians aren't as bright as people think they are.

When you see all the errors you can't help but think someone didn't check the OCR output. Simple as that.

And, from personal experience, I have seen results like these tons of times.

Yea you're right looking at Nadler today punching that hammer like a carpenter.
He really did not give the republicans any room to speak, strange ...

LOL! Horowitz just dropped this comment:

"I think the activities we found here don't vindicate anybody who touched this FISA..."

I eagerly await Comey's holier-than-thou response...

On the topic of OCR PDF artifacts/malware & human error...

BAE Systems to develop new cyber tools for DARPA

BAE Systems announced on December 10 that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop new cyber tools designed to help prevent vulnerabilities in electronic files that can lead to cyberattacks. Development of these tools will be part of DARPA’s Safe Documents (SafeDocs) program, which aims to more effectively identify and reject malicious data in a variety of electronic formats.

Every day, individuals and organizations in military, government and commercial industries receive electronic content, such as Portable Document Format (PDF) and digital media files, from unauthorized or potentially compromised sources, which creates security risks.

"SafeDocs" - gotta luv the market branding.

I don't care much for Ted Cruz, but this comment was simply awesome:

@jasonbeale good thread that Sidney Powell retweeted.

Haven't heard much commentary on it - go figure - but I think the most remarkable example of FBI malfeasance in this whole debacle is this: Prior to submitting the FISA application, they asked other agencies in the IC to run @carterwpage's name through their systems to see...

..if anything popped. The CIA responded via email disclosing that Page was an operational contact who reported on Russian business, government and intelligence officials with whom he interacted from 2008-2013. The FBI official who received this report removed that information... 5 replies 122 retweets 299 likes

..from the email, wrote "not a source" in it, then forwarded it to the office preparing the FISA application. Bad enough, but it actually gets worse. The FISA application included a section related to Page's contacts with these Russian officials, which they presented as...

MOAR...

Why anyone trusts Horowitz is beyond me. He cleared Hillary ffs, and everyone is surprised he said the FBI had no bias? 🙄
