No, Nerdham, you do it. You try it. So it looks EXACTLY like the documents. You have not got a frickin' clue about how MS Word works in recreating each different letter's movement either up or down or kerned and moved slightly off kilter "wobble" as particular letters on a typewriter would do (as most of the letters in the documents have). And do that "wobble" for each and every letter. Oh, and make sure that if a particular letter has a strange way of landing off-kilter or looks like it doesn't take ink the right way - has a smudge, etc. Oh, and that each letter's peculiar idiosyncratic movement (each individual typewriter letters did that) is reproduced exactly word to word and line to line. Can't happen in MS Word. Why, you even need to ask? Because there is no idiosyncratic off-kilter movement of particular computer letters that can be automatically set to reproduce in MS Word.

Oh, and another thing, having had also a job as typist and then word processor on a computer, look carefully at the ALL CAPS sections in some of the documents - there is a telltale sign of the first cap not coming up to level with the other caps. This is caused by the letter head striking the page before the "shift" key or All Caps key is completely pressed. Anyone who has spent time typing on a typewriter knows this one.

And default settings such as centering, justification, margins, etc.. Any expert and highly experienced typist of that day who typed hundreds of letters a day could reproduce settings from letter to letter, document to document so that those settings were identical and line up titles exactly in the middle, whatever. They knew how to move the paper around within the carriage, etc. and also knew how to move the carriage around enough to get the effect of ligatures, etc. Believe me, they had it down to fine art.

Something you know nothing about - and obviously the logic of recreating it on a real typewriter from the start totally escapes you and all the rest of you nuts. Why would a forger even BOTHER to do it on a computer? It's so simple on a typewriter and so ridiculously complex on a computer. But obviously your brain can't handle anything that complex...or that simple.

(Makes sense, right? Makes as much sense as you do.)

The really dangerous and more frightening thought about this, if you think about it, is the possibility of one of these contractors as a precursor to Republican private ghost army. Ghost in the sense that one wonders how hidden behind and entrenched within the scenes of government that "army" could get...and what it could do. A private army that is outside the law in that it owes loyalty not to the United States government and the People of the United States but only to the people that pay it, which while it seems to be the US, is really the Republican Party. Not all that different from the Mafia.

It seems out there, doesn't it? Kinda paranoid. Or does it?

Thanks, Sunshower7.

The links you provided are an incredibly sad eyeopener. All one need do is connect the dots. It seems the bright dream of Democracy and real freedom of the government of America "for the People and by the People" has been truly "sold" out beneath our feet for quite a while and with our own money.

My little thoughts about a private army seem so silly and naive. Why bother with a private army, when you have a militaristic corporate infrastructure that will do it for you? An infrastructure that can avoid responsibility and accountability and looks just like any other company.

Our government is just a facade, an illusion. The true government is hidden in plain sight. Eisenhower was right. And FDR was wrong. We have everything to fear. And Bush & Co, Republicans, Inc., Blackwater, SAIC, Haliburton, etc. will extract their pound of flesh.
