Did Donald Give Away A National Security Secret?

[Clipper]

Welcome to my growing list of ignore

I'm heartbroken.

Welcome to my growing list of Trump's asskisser's.

So then, what was the point of the FBI raiding his house for documents when any documents he took by your own admission had already been declassified upon his authority?

Now whose the idiot? Guess your ample brain just didn't think that far ahead.

And I guess you also never considered that a president doesn't need to declassify anything. Presidents are human and people make mistakes. Odd though that no one here is even attempting to do the math I offered, comment on the links, or offer some informed view on the possibility of resolving that fine a detail from orbit?

At least the Admiral pretends to be a military expert who knows more than the CIA!

I've learned that hostility towards questions usually indicates either guilt or ignorance. All I did here was point out a remark Trump made and ask whether it was a slip of the tongue? Or was he just speaking figuratively?

Obviously, you have no idea, so are trying to deflect from that to attacking me.

You be the idiot, idiot. Trump was not in Office at the time of the raid.

Idiot.

Seriously, dewd. Get some help.

How can a President give away a National Security 'secret'?

Stupid question.

Stupid response. A president can be impeached for revealing a national security secret.

It's called treason.

The power to declassify secrets is not absolute and there is a two-step process for those secrets he can declassify.

He can't do it with magical thinking.

You be the idiot, idiot.

Sure, that makes you look real smart, Ace. Still trying to run from the fact that you cannot do simple trig? If so, then answer my question? What is the resolution limited expressed by Dawes Limit for a 1 meter aperture from about 100 miles up? I say 100 miles because that appears to be about the lowest of any known satellites. Any better resolution than that must mostly be gained through adaptive optics using computer image processing and interpolation.

Trump was not in Office at the time of the raid.

He was President and in office when he TOOK the stuff, jackass, therefore by your own measure, the stuff was declassified and he was allowed to have it. So why was he raided? Why did the FBI take pictures of empty folders they brought with them? Why did they steal stuff? Why did they block Trump's attorney from being in his house while they worked? Why was Trump's security cameras turned off? Why did they wait until Trump was in NYC facing mandatory hearings (forcing him to leave Florida) while they ransacked his Florida home?

Idiot. Seriously, dewd. Get some help.

Only one needing help here is you in continuing this shallow ruse that you are clueless here, don't know math, and have no idea what you're talking about.

Wrong, jackass!
The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago took place on August 8, 2022, at the Palm Beach, Florida residence of then-former President Donald Trump.
Copilot

Trump was NOT in office at the time.

This is what the bloviating retard claimed was on his cognitive test:

"Take a number, any number. OK, I'll take 99. Multiply it by 9. Divide it by 3. Add 4,293. Divide by 2, subtract 93, divide by 9."

Wrong, jackass!
The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago took place on August 8, 2022, at the Palm Beach, Florida residence of then-former President Donald Trump.

Trump was NOT in office at the time.

The raid took place after Trump refused for over a year to return the grave national security secrets which are the property of the National Archives, not his.

He was given way too much time and too much slack to return them.

The raid took place after Trump had one of his lawyers commit perjury by signing a document claiming Trump had returned all documents which are the property of the National Archives.

Trump claimed he declassified the documents with his magical mind before he left the White House.

I think the President has a better idea of what is a state secret than some freak on the Internet.
Just an observation

Trump doesnt know what day it is.

I think his handlers know better than to tell blabbermouth Trump any state secrets.

 

[g5000]

I think if Trump's handlers did happen to put a Top Secret file in front of him, he would doze off halfway down the first page.

That's why he believes stealth planes are literally invisible if you are standing next to one.

 

[sparky]

Admittedly Trump's handlers probably have their hands full G5

Hey Admiral, being the EXPERT in ALL THINGS military, I'd be interested to hear your analysis of using bicubic interpolation on a speckling interferometer to artificially extend the LPM resolution of the imager at a given focal ratio. Thoughts?

Not really TK--- I spent half my life wrapped up in optics, mostly trying to do crazy stuff like take clear photos of dust storms on Mars, the current weather patterns on Jupiter, and the like, but here we are delving into new territory--- some of which involves astronomy such as AO where a ground-based observatory analyzes the refraction of the atmosphere above it with a laser in real time to distort the telescope mirror in an opposite, compensating way to cancel out the effects, to the scintillations of the atmospheric column above affects on refraction and distortion from millisecond to millisecond, but also in combining and processing smaller synthetic apertures to simulate and interpolate an imaginary non-existent much larger aperture to see far better than normally imagined.

This is new territory with the advantages gained through mega-computers combined with AI.

I like where this is going.

 

[MostBoringManInTheWorld]

That was the usual Trump running his mouth about a subject he basically knows nothing about. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the room but in reality he's a first class moron. A legend in his own mind.

You just described a whole bunch of people on this board.

 

[22lcidw]

Most especially when we are at war

I firmly believe that we have fellow Americans that have given Iran some information due to the fact they hate Trump so much and/or he is a threat to them.

I've a little experience in the field, only as a 'set of hands' building and aligning electro-optics towards pixelated analysis Mr Toob.

All i can tell you is, they (at the time) could distinguish quite a lot from orbit, and this was over 40 yrs ago.......i've no idea of the advancements since, but would wager it has given all the attention it gained from big brother

~S~

Great, then you understand what I'm talking about, the problems of trying to see through the atmosphere with heat, wind and turbulence, trying to get a clear, steady picture of space. Modern observatories use such large mirrors they are more prone to the effects of seeing due to the larger column of air they look through, so they shoot a laser beam up near where they are pointed, analyze how it is being distorted by the air, then send a command back to little motors or actuators which distort the telescope mirror (primary mirror) to create an equal but opposite distortion to the mirror to cancel out the seeing distortion.

Actually, what they do now is, rather than try to make a single giant telescope primary, they make the mirror out of a bunch of small segments, so each can be maneuvered as needed to create the minute distortion necessary.

A spy satellite suffers the same problems as they are trying to look through the atmosphere from space down to the ground instead of trying to look up. So I suspect they may be using something like this, perhaps combined with synthetic aperture technology. This was originally developed for radio astronomy to get clearer pictures of space at the lower wavelengths of radio waves compared to optical light.

To increase aperture, they took two radio telescopes positioned far apart (opposite ends of a continent or even opposite sides of the Earth, and they found that with computer processing, they could combine the signals of the two telescopes so that even if each radio dish were only 100 feet across, if they were 1000 miles apart, the computer interpolated the two signals as if part of a 1000 mile wide aperture! In effect, they got the benefit of a 1000 mile diameter aperture even though they only had 100 foot dishes.

I would bet that our best spy satellites are doing some stuff similar to these--- if they had even just two spy satellites with meter-size aperture, if the two were just a few miles apart, they could synthesize a very high resolution system. That is what my money is on.

Some of this is part and parcel of many advances in space science and by applying it to ground observation from orbit, they must be capable of incredible detail now. Maybe they could pull off reading someone's name tag now if conditions were right.

not to the extent you do Mr Toob.....

It was rather advanced back when i was in the industry , caught the attention of many foreign dignitaries, the FBI , and our military of course

that was 40 odd years ago , so i often wonder where it went, especially if it comingled with AI.....
