So, I went to the trouble of researching the statute and the relevant sections of the US Code and writing a lengthy and thoughtful response. But coming back to the thread and going back through the past several pages to catch up, it's apparent that the thread has become just a morass of tinhat BS, unworthy of the standards of this site.
Russell appears to have dropped all pretence at being an objective or legitimate researcher and has outed himself as a heavy gauge tinhatter, in addition to proving himself incapable of comprehending context and perspective - which are absolutely and fundamentally necessary to any legitimate researcher.
A couple of other heavy gauge tinhatters who lack any analytical skills whatsoever and who have not exhibited even the most basic skills required to conduct a conversation, let alone a legitimate discussion or debate, have posted hundreds of posts each over the past two days without any content of value or any evidence of intelligence. These hundreds of posts amount to nothing but juvenile, unsubstantiated and downright ridiculous nonsense, without even a scintilla of evidence that they have even the most tenuous grasp on reality.
So, screw it. I'm not going to bother posting the results of my research on this thread at this time since I have to sleep soon and I won't be around to read any responses to it until tomorrow night at earliest, and by then the thread will likely be buried in another avalanche of meaningless posts by tinhatters, which I'd rather not have to wade through.
Good night, folks.

I am very sorry to hear that.
I was very much looking forward to it.
