YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! I GOT BOXES FULL OF PARAP!

Included in the release of the NSAs psychic research program is a document labeled Chart Depicting Interaction/Dependencies Acting on Parapsychology. The hand-drawn chart is the only thing in the document, and it looks awfully familiar

At first glance, one might think that the chart is a flow chart - a closer look shows that while many of the boxes are linked by lines, almost none clarify the relationship or the flow of the information. Only the relationship between Parap[sychological] facility] and image maker includes an arrow to show a flow of information from the facility to the image maker.

Several other boxes are completely isolated. Apparently decision maker, motor control and action neither interact with or are dependent on parapsychology. Other boxes, like rational logical adding, symbol marker and formulating abstracting are connected to each other, but never connect to the main chart.

All in all, a perfect addition to your next game of FOIA Karaoke. Read the NSAs (significantly more straightforward) guideline for the STARGATE program embedded below:

Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to slap the stringent National Security Act (NSA) and Goondas Act against those obstructing electricity officials from discharging their duties while checking power theft.

State energy minister Shrikant Sharma said honest customers suffer because of power theft and the government is committed to check the menace.

"National Security Act and Goondas Act will be slapped on those obstructing officials from discharging their duties while curbing electricity theft. Power theft is a national crime. We are in the process of setting up 75 'bijli thane' (power police stations) for this," he said.

Under the NSA, a person can be detained without bail or trial and the authorities need not disclose the grounds of detention if they believe the detainee can act in a way that poses a threat to the security of the state/country or the maintenance of public order.

The Goondas Act aims at a year-long preventive detention of habitual offenders. According to the law, a 'goonda' is a person who, either by himself or as a member or leader of a gang, habitually commits or attempts to commit or abets the commission of offences.

Sharma said the state government would follow the 'Gujarat Model' of power distribution and keep a check on pilferage and establish dedicated police stations in all 75 districts where cases of power theft would be taken up.

The tough 'Gujarat Model' envisages constitution of dedicated vigilance squads and setting up special police stations to check pilferage.

The Uttar Pradesh government has already initiated "name and shame" policy for power bill defaulters under which names of big defaulters are disclosed in a bid to cajole them to pay their bills at the earliest.

Uttar Pradesh govt to follow 'Gujarat Model'; will use NSA, Goondas Act to curb power theft - Firstpost

Determined to curb power theft that is financially bleeding its power distribution companies (discoms), the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh has decided to invoke stringent laws like the National Security Act and Goonda Act to deal with electricity thieves.

UP energy minister Srikant Sharma has said the state government would slap the stringent NSA and Goonda Act on those obstructing power officials from discharging their duties to curb electricity theft.

Power theft is an infringement of the rights of honest consumers. Power saved through action against pilferers could be given to those who pay their bill regularly, Sharma told a newspaper

This came two days after an enforcement squad of Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) was attacked in Rampur where it had gone to check power theft. Following the incident, Sharma directed the UPPCL brass to take strict action against the attackers.

UPPCL has been demanding adequate security during such drives.

The state government would follow the Gujarat model for power distribution and keep a check on pilferage, Sharma said, adding, UP government would also establish dedicated police stations in all 75 districts where cases of power theft would be taken up.

UP government officials said that imposing NSA would be at the discretion of the district magistrate.

UP To Invoke NSA, Goonda Act In Fight Against Power Theft - EnergyInfraPost

The Trump administration this week elevated the US Cyber Command to a Unified Combatant Command, in a long-awaited move that underscores the growing importance of cyber warfare.

The decision, announced Friday, puts the Cyber Command on par with nine other combat commands, and may lead to its separation from the National Security Agency (NSA). In a statement, President Trump said that Secretary of Defense James Mattis will examine the possibility of separating the Cyber Command and the NSA, and that he will announce recommendations at a later date.

This new Unified Combatant Command will strengthen our cyberspace operations and create more opportunities to improve our Nations defense, Trump said in the statement. The elevation of United States Cyber Command demonstrates our increased resolve against cyberspace threats and will help reassure our allies and partners and deter our adversaries.

Trump says the move will streamline command and control of time-sensitive cyberspace operations.

Trump also said that the move will streamline command and control of time-sensitive cyberspace operations, and that it will ensure that critical cyberspace operations are adequately funded.

Proposals for creating an independent Cyber Command were first made under the Obama administration, with supporters arguing that the units mandate was sometimes at odds with the NSAs intelligence gathering operations particularly with regard to the fight against ISIS.

Cyber Command was created as a sub-unit of the US Strategic Command, with a mandate to conduct cyber warfare and defend government networks. Navy Admiral Michael Rogers currently leads both Cyber Command and the NSA.
