Hi, Steven,
Interestingly, a predecessor order issued by President Nixon actually provided concrete examples of the sort of potential damage resulting from disclosure that would justify a “Top Secret” classification of the information to be withheld: “[A]rmed hostilities against the United States or its allies; disruption of foreign relations vitally affecting the national security; the compromise of vital national defense plans or complex cryptologic and communication intelligence systems; the revelation of sensitive intelligence operations; and the disclosure of scientific or technological developments vital to national security.” The order* [directed that “[t]his classification shall be used with the utmost restraint.”
* Exec. Order No. 11,652, 37 Fed. Reg. 5,209 (Mar. 10, 1972). ….. http://www.fas.org/sgp/eprint/dynamics.pdf
Yes, well, quite. However, today and in the future, for just like time in space which cannot be turned back to an era of primitive and primal existence, are escaped genies and novel geniuses always providers and harbingers of that which cannot be bottled or battled, is there another overarching and overwhelming and completely new and unforeseen consideration to be added to any current “Top Secret” classification system in any rogue renegade and/or renascent regime and/or New Age of Virtual Machine Programming and Reprogramming Projects.
And that is the compromise of viral virtual defense plans with complex cryptologic and communication intelligence systems which share sensitive intelligence operations disclosing scientific or technological developments vital for both evolutionary and revolutionary growth in a stagnant marketplace, which is where one is at now with engaged and engaging nation states/effective directors of intelligence?
And only shared there as a question because as a statement of fact does it render one complicit in the perpetration of a global fraud should one not be prepared to act and expose what secrets one knows to be true and undeniable ….. and thus in debilitating destructive state of collective individual denial.
It also places one in a leading global position of absolutely fabulous influence which is quite possibly, probably quite unique presently, which itself would present an enigmatic dilemma and quantum quandary whenever source provision, for every valid reason one can possibly think of which helps to reinforce and strengthen ITs CyberIntelAIgent Security and Virtual Protection, basks and luxuriates in relative fields of anonymity which so easily supply a dense impenetrable and readily affordable obscurity.
And it is more than just highly informative and most revealing of an effective stealthy vector for further development of a zeroday base exploitation platform whenever such freely shared secrets which be communicated for global viewing on selected sites, do not appear as may reasonably have been expected …… with the following short missive here http://www.ur2die4.com/?p=4347 being a fine example of a blundering systemic weakness whenever not appearing as a comment to the post and web address it was sent.
In a mad, mad, mad, mad world, it pays a magic dividend to be crazy good and enlightening rather than stupidly bad and oppressive.
