The National Security Agency ^ | 8 June 2011 | n/a

[Las Vegas Dave]

The National Security Agency (NSA) announces today that it has declassified and released to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) over 50,000 pages of historic records. These records cover a time-frame from before World War I through the 1960s.

This release of documents is the first in a series of releases planned over the next two years as part of NSA/CSS’s commitment to meeting the requirements outlined in the President’s 21 January 2009 Memorandum on Openness and Transparency in Government (Executive Order 13526).

Highlights of this release include: •Manuals, charts, and other documents on the development of early computer systems at NSA/CSS, including the HARVEST. This innovative system was developed with IBM and was in use from 1962 to 1976; •Early publications on cryptography, including Cryptology: Instruction Book on the Art of Secret Writing from 1809; •Documents from World War II, including previously unreleased German documents from the Target Intelligence Committee (TICOM).

The released documents will be maintained by NARA and available for review at the National Archives at College Park, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, Maryland. A list of the documents is available on NSA’s Declassification and Transparency Webpage.

Since the records were physically transferred to NARA, NSA is no longer the custodian and does not maintain copies of the records for release under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Information about conducting research at NARA is available on the National Archives Website.

So ... it no longer matters what REALLY happened in Daley Square that November day ... eh ?

Which ... if true ... does not bode well for all our efforts to reclaim our American Republic.

I'm sure the print journalist honchos will send hordes of personnel and ask for volunteers to comb though this document dump just like they did for Sarah Palin email release / S

Open and transparent with information and documents from prior administrations.

Open and transparent with information and documents from prior administrations.

Hope and change. Change the subject and hope we take the bait.

Cryptology: Instruction Book on the Art of Secret Writing from 1809

I think Thomas Jefferson had developed a cypher that would have been unbreakable as late as WWII but nobody knew about it until a few decades ago.

Thanks Las Vegas Dave. These records cover a time-frame from before World War I through the 1960s... meeting the requirements outlined in the President's 21 January 2009 Memorandum on Openness and Transparency in Government (Executive Order 13526). Yeah, I laughed too. Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

He probably means Dealey Plaza in Dallas..

[VRW Conspirator]

Yes, one of the documents shows, conclusively, that there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll in Dallas’s Dealey Plaza in November 1963 who looked like Elvis but was actually an extra-terrestial alien.

This all happened back in June.

Yep ... he probably does ... I feel SO stupid.

[knarf]

Oh ... that's even better.

Let's tell everyone ... wait a minute ... they've already beem sold for campaign dollars.

Never mind.

I wouldn’t, if it weren’t for the Kennedy assassination nobody but the locals would even know about the place. I’ve studied the ordeal all my life and there’s nothing to it. I believe Oswald acted alone. Check out Vincent Bugliosi’s book ‘Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy’- 1600+ pages of facts, evidence and logic that debunk every conspiracy theory to date.
