One of the comments to the unredacted file reads
Can you post another example? This file has been this way since 2022 and, so far, no others have been identified as being readable with this trick (or any others). Pretty sure this isn’t the big smoking gun…
I’m not seeing legit news reporting on this yet so I’m doubtful. I do see a victim complaining that their name was not redacted, but I’m not hanging my hat on this video of complete incompetence.
Also, there seems to be a missile silo directly in front of the ship’s bridge. I hope everyone on deck remembered to put on their welder’s masks before they launched that bad boy.
This appears to be the most fully fleshed out, AI-generated warship the US has ever commissioned. Trump should get full credit for this massive achievement.
Does that work for the redacted images? I tried, but the black outs don’t seem to be a separate layer. Or maybe I just don’t know how to use Gimp (very likely, it’s an overly complicated application).
It might only work on some of the documents. I haven’t tried it myself.
I’m also seeing that if you search for “Trump” in the files using the search engine on the site it yields no results, but if you search for “Trump “, with a space after his name, it yields 600+ hits, suggesting that they only blocked that specific search string instead of properly redacting his name.
I like all of those. That’s very much in line with what he’s fond of doing (screwing up). What I don’t like is the name USS DEFIANT. It should be USS DEFAULT (BB-9).
That’s right down there with “Swirly Face Man” who got caught for posting ineptly edited videos of himself online. All the police had to do was swirl the face in the opposite direction a tad at a time until it was clear.
Where the Hell have you been since January 20, 2025?
After the holidays, prepare for yet another government shutdown.
Of course, the magatflatearhers will blame the Democrats and their other usual suspects for this, never even for a nanosecond realizing it’s their idol creating the issue.
Just in case you think Veep the Creep isn’t a racist, catch up with the news.
Of course, there’s even better proof of his racism.
The felon and his flock of fools must return migrants they sent to a prison in El Salvador.
I, for one, am not counting on them having an epiphany and following the judge’s order.
And why should I trust them? Here’s yet another judge the felon’s going to ignore even though he appointed Hizzoner. (The bolding is mine.)
What are some of y’all going on about victims in the Epstein case? Just ask the felon who the real victims are.
For once, he got something right. Part of this is about him. But it’s certainly not the way he thinks it is.
The felon denies federal aid to Colorado.
Just in case you missed it, that’s a D after the governor’s name. And Harris carried the state in 2024.
We’re screwed. The felon’s actually, really, and truly going to go to war with Venezuela.
Moving onto the next question? The next question!? Why the ELF* wasn’t the next question connected to that stupid and dangerous response?
*ELF=Ever Loving Fuck. ELF fits in better for the holidays, though.
That’s the same document as was in your previous post #929 that had the comment

Of course not. To do so would be to engage in wrongthink, which would be doubleplusungood.
And we have always been at war with Venezuela.
I’d bet real money the magatflatearthers couldn’t tell the difference between Venezuela and Vuvuzela.
Well, crap. I assumed the pages had only been released as JPG files, and they weren’t incompetent enough to use something that is widely known to be flawed and has failed in government document releases in the past.
Somebody in the chain of releasing these documents had to know that this is what would happen.
You and I would think so. Yet people have been busted for docx files retaining history or the name of the author. Or mailing laser printouts that have tiny, almost invisible dots which reveal the serial number.
There are victims who have “outed” themselves and no need to redact their names/images… unless you’re using “respect victim privacy” as a cover to protect abusers’ privacy. Which absolutely is a thing with corporations and I’m pretty sure is also a thing here.
(Absolutely any victims wanting privacy should have their names/images redacted. That should go without saying, but I’m just sayin…)
The whole “protecting victims’ identities” claim as the reason for the redactions was always a specious one anyway. It would be easy enough to simply black out the victims’ names while leaving everything else intact. There would never be any need to redact entire paragraphs and pages for this reason.
It makes more sense if you consider which people the Trump administration are likely to consider the “victims” here.
Yeah obviously.
And obviously those are the ones who shouldn’t be exposed by incompetent government redactors.
I remember, back in the Before Times, when a certain right-wing type was discussing energy independence for the US, he was advocating massively increasing US oil, so that the US could tell the Saudis to “Go drink their oil” if they didn’t like what the US was doing. Well, at least drinking their bourbon won’t actually kill them…
…with the weirdly elongated raised arm.
I’m just a bit surprised they didn’t add the “Pew! Pew!” sound effects of the guns firing.
All of your other points are good, and it’s a ridiculous picture for sure, but the flag isn’t “hovering in midair”; it’s attached to a cable like a flag on a ship normally would be, strung from the mast.
Here’s a real photo of a real ship to compare.
So that detail at least wasn’t screwed up. It’s too low of a resolution in the AI picture to see any actual cables, of course, but the flag looks about right.
The rest of the ship, though, looks like it came out of an old PlayStation video game. Very crude.
