This from the BBC today (18 Jan 2017).

About 13 million pages of declassified documents from the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have been released online for the first time.

I don't suppose they've released any REAL goodies, but we will have to see.

CIA releases 13m pages of declassified documents online

About 13 million pages of declassified documents from the US Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) have been released online for the first time.The files were uploaded
following lengthy efforts from freedom of information advocates and a lawsuit
against the CIA.The records include intelligence briefings, research papers, UFO
sightings and psychic experiments.The full archive is made up of almost 800,000
files.It includes the papers of Henry Kissinger, who served as secretary of state
under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, as well as several hundred
thousand pages of intelligence analysis and science research and development.


Among the more unusual records are documents from the so-called Stargate
programme, which dealt with psychic powers and extrasensory perception.
Those include records of testing on celebrity psychic Uri Geller in 1973, when he
was already a well-established performer.Memos detail how Mr Geller was able to
partly replicate pictures drawn in another room with varying - but sometimes
precise - accuracy, leading the researchers to write that he "demonstrated his
paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner".

One set of documents details results of psychic tests on Uri Geller, where he
attempted to copy drawings made by researchers from within a sealed room
Other unusual records include a collection of reports on flying saucers, and the
recipes for invisible ink. While much of the information has been technically publicly
available since the mid-1990s, it has been very difficult to access.The records were
only available from four physical computers located in the back of a library at the
National Archives in Maryland, between 09:00 and 16:30 each day.

A non-profit freedom of information group, MuckRock, sued the CIA to force it to
upload the collection, in a process which took more than two years. At the same
time, journalist Mike Best crowd-funded more than $15,000 to visit the
archives to print out and then publicly upload the records, one by one, to apply
pressure to the CIA."By printing out and scanning the documents at CIA expense, I
was able to begin making them freely available to the public and to give the agency
a financial incentive to simply put the database online," Best wrote in a blog post.
In November, the CIA announced it would publish the material, and the entire
declassified CREST archive is now available on the CIA Library website.

Let's hope some important stuff slips out hidden within the millions of pages of dross!

Yep.

First thing that came to mind was: "why now?"

Perhaps another desperate attempt to steer focus away from the real issues?

Exactly Hervé. Just in time to distract us when there is probably something much bigger brewing that they don't want the world to know about.

The motto CIA director Alan Dulles had carved into the walls at Langley was


"And Ye Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free" – John 8:32

but clearly, the opposite was implied: that lies will enslave you. And the CIA has a long history of churning out lies and deception to the American people.

Interesting how the psychic drew the solar system the artist was thinking of instead of what they drew.

Kissinger's files?

UFO sightings & psychic powers revealed in newly released CIA docs

‘There’s no shortage of intrigue amidst the CIA’s newly released archive of nearly 13 million pages
of declassified records. Some of the more peculiar revelations detail the handling of UFO sightings
and the potential weaponization of psychic powers.

In this particular document concerning such reporting, a UFO is defined as “any object which, by
performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to known aircraft
or missiles.”

https://media.giphy.com/media/S6VGjvmFRu5Qk/giphy.gif

There are a number of documents relating to sightings in Norway,Spain and North
Africa and the former USSR among the millions of pages. While many sightings
feature throughout the extensive release, there have been no conclusive findings
documented as of yet.’

https://media.giphy.com/media/pCvOYwcoDvHMY/giphy.gif

It seems the CIA was keen to emphasize the importance of rapid but thorough
reporting of any such sightings as a matter of national security, listing the four
phases of air defense as: detection, identification, interception and destruction. The
Unidentified Flying Object Program requires that all US Air Force (USAF)
commanders adhere strictly to these guidelines.

investigation (VIDEO)

The procedure calls on air force commanders to report all UFO sightings including
those received from other agencies, governmental bodies or civilians.

When reporting a sighting, the document states that the following data points must
be specified and explained in as much detail as possible: shape, size, color,
number, formation, distinct or unique features, any tail, trail or exhaust, any
sounds and any other unusual features not covered by the preceding points.

The USAF also highlights the three major reasons for taking UFO sightings so
seriously: air defense and the elimination of any potential threats to the United
States or its armed forces; to determine the technical or scientific characteristics of
such UFOs and thus maintain military intelligence and technological dominance; to
explain or identify all such instances in order to maintain strategic readiness in all
eventualities.

The CIA had also previously published its own handy set of guidelines for amateur
stargazers out there to organize themselves and flood their local air force bases
with sighting reports:
