“There is no chance that these boxes would be identical, unless one is a copy of the other, after in digital form.”

Check out this link from up-thread showing that the Xerox can duplicate image blocks for efficiency...but can make mistakes:

“Xerox Machines Change Documents After Scanning”

“The problem stems from a combination of compression level and resolution setting,” Tse wrote. “The Xerox design utilizes the recognized industry standard JBIG2 compressor which creates extremely small file sizes with good image quality, but with inherent tradeoffs under low resolution and quality settings.”

Kriesel said that it’s more than just a resolution problem, but that JBIG2 actually changes the numbers in the scanned image. He explained that the document is segmented into discrete sections and that the WorkCentre machine compares each section to a library of stored patches. “You only need to save a representative patch,” he said. “If a section looks like the number 8, then it gets replaced by the representative 8 patch.”

Unfortunately, replacing each section with representative patches can result in errors. Kriesel documented some of these changes in his blog. Some models of the Workcentre machines consistently make the same substitution errors, for example replacing the same 6s with the same 8s. Others models make arbitrary number substitutions that are not consistent each time the machine scans a document.

The timing of all this is suspicious, to say the least. At http://nativeborncitizen.wordpress.com/page/17/ you can see the progression of the experiments. Part of what is posted there is the Xerox copyrights on technology. In 2004 Xerox filed for a copyright on the compression technology which recognizes similar “blobs” and uses a template - the technology blamed for these glitches, which have now been found to include a bunch of Xerox machines. At that link also (IIRC) it says that Kinko’s and other copy places use the Xerox WorkCentres. So copy places all over the country have been using these machines for almost 10 years and this is the first time anybody has noticed anything?

The story of how this was discovered (on July 31, the same day that Ted Nugent blogged about Arpaio’s findings) is at http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning . It was discovered by a computer researcher in Germany, who noted that this could cause prescription/medical problems, engineering problems that could cause bridges to be built unsafely, etc. The problem as he saw it was quite blatant, where the sizes of boxes on a chart/blueprint didn’t fit the numbers that showed up next to the boxes at all. For this to fly for almost 10 years, there would have to be architects who never proofread their blueprints and construction workers who never noticed that the visual model totally differed from the numbers used. AND if they didn’t notice the difference and actually went by the numbers, none of their corners would end up square. Yet nobody noticed? Really?

This thing stinks.

I’ve wasted too much time on this already. Unlike the people Obama pays to do disinformation, I have a living to make in addition to any time I spend doing the research that law enforcement, Congress, and the media won’t do.

The thugocracy also has the advantage of being able to know what I and other researchers are looking into so they know what to disappear, alter, or fabricate. And they have the ability to intercept or delay communications to stall us while they get things in order. The only other option for us, if we want to avoid giving away our leads, is either to travel all over the world doing our own research in person (which is time-consuming and financially impossible), or to communicate through courier pigeons. This is ridiculous.
