What? You're doubting the legitimacy of the top secret J.O.R.D.A.N. bill? What next, you'll call the L.E.B.R.O.N. bill into question as well? I'm flabbergasted at your unending skepticism.
A lot of them look legit, mostly because they are boring. I scanned a few, it's stuff like the air force's memo on how to deal with press, or a memo alleging a number of Russian cybersecurity attacks on U.S. assets.
If someone was going to fake releasing stuff like this, they probably wouldn't do it with such boring documents, they'd put some shit about aliens in there.
Mmm. So I agree with your initial assessment, but the later rationale not so much
Disinformation is the tool used by war today. Russia is doing A LOT of it as of late coming up on this election cycle and could easily push propaganda and fake news via channels like this.
Similarly, and on the other side of this coin, the US could also do this to push propaganda. You cannot trust things for face value on the internet.
Again, if it was propoganda I think it would be more incendiary. You're free to go through the information if you wish, and there probably are some juicy secrets somewhere in the mess of files, but my spotcheck made me yawn. If you don't want to live in a world with no truth, you have to start thinking about the intent of the author. If the intent of the author here was to plant misinformation, or to sow division, then they did a terrible job at it. What little I read gave me no interest in reading more.
We’re on the same page here, I think it’s pretty likely that a lot of this stuff isn’t actually dangerous. Snowden leaks point out massive constructs to automatically read in info and essentially create a DB of intel
And that was years ago. I find it highly unlikely that anything serious would slip through and go unnoticed on a search engine like google.
To be fair, the department of defence did have the $10 billion JEDI cloud contract that Amazon and Microsoft were fighting for a few years ago, so it's not much of a stretch.
