[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL did anyone read the disclaimer at the very beginning of the report?

DISCLAIMER: This report is provided “as is” for informational purposes only. The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any information contained within. DHS
does not endorse any commercial product or service referenced in this advisory or otherwise. This document is
distributed as TLP:WHITE: Subject to standard copyright rules, TLP:WHITE information may be distributed
without restriction. For more information on the Traffic Light Protocol, see https://www.us-cert.gov/tlp.claimer

No warranties of any kind regarding any information contained within is essentially the Intelligence Community's way of telling us:  "This is all complete bullshit but if you are stupid enough to believe it, shame on you."

That's a standard disclaimer used by DHS.  I don't think it really means anything. For example you can find the same disclaimer here:  http://amsig.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ICS-ALERT-14-157-01P-Situational-Alert-for-Electronic-Highway-Signs.pdf

You have a serious and fatal cognitive bias.  You're choosing to believe the part of the report you want to believe, and obviously will interpret it any old which way you want it to mean that suits you, which is exactly what the administration is hoping people do.  But you disregard the part of the report which expressly tells you that there is no guarantee that any of the contents of the report are reliable.

It means exactly what it says:  The contents of the report are not reliable information.    The fact that DHS stamps this disclaimer on other of its publications, or every one of its publications, means you are being fed unreliable propaganda, or being told at best half truths.  The problem with half truths is you never know which half is true.[/quote]
