Subject: Concerns Regarding FOIA Request Handling by the U.S. Army
Dear U.S. Army(@USArmy)
I am writing to inquire about the current handling of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by your department. I have noticed that numerous FOIA requests are being denied without clear justification. Additionally, the civilian FOIA liaison at Fort Knox(@FortKnoxKY) has repeatedly stated that she is awaiting "further guidance," a response that has persisted for approximately six months.
The Freedom of Information Act, as legislated, provides clear guidelines for the disclosure of information. The ongoing delay due to awaiting unspecified guidance appears to contravene federal law, which mandates timely responses to FOIA requests.
I would appreciate clarification on the following points:
1. Why are FOIA requests being denied?
- Please specify which exemptions under the FOIA are being cited for these denials.
2. Who or what entity is providing the "further guidance" that the FOIA liaison at Fort Knox is awaiting?
- Given the duration of this wait, what specific aspects of FOIA compliance require further clarification?
3. What measures are in place to ensure compliance with federal FOIA regulations?
I have attached emails exchanged with the FOIA liaison at Fort Knox, redacting personal contact information to prevent any undue harassment. These communications illustrate the ongoing issue and our attempts to seek resolution.
I am also reaching out to the FOIA Ombudsman (@FOIA_Ombuds) for assistance in resolving these concerns and ensuring that the Army adheres to federal transparency laws.
FOIA does not grant any federal agency the authority to regulate or legislate beyond the explicit provisions of the law.
You have indicated that the requests are not "denied" but are instead in a state of limbo, which I interpret as "holding." It is important to note that the FOIA mandates a response within 20 working days from receipt of the request. Holding requests beyond this period without a clear, legal justification is non-compliant with the provisions of the FOIA.
The FOIA is not merely a suggestion but a federal law designed to promote transparency and accountability within government. Timely adherence to these laws is crucial for maintaining public trust and ensuring that American citizens can access information that is rightfully theirs.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response to ensure compliance with FOIA regulations and to address these outstanding requests.
Idiots. It's pretty obvious at this point that these drones belong to the US military or a defense contractor. Better come clean before some guy in NJ shoots one down with his rifle and blows this whole thing up. They'll never be able to prosecute after denying they're ours.
White House Says None Of The New Jersey Visual Drone Sightings Have Been Corroborated
The use of "very sophisticated electronic detection technologies" has confirmed none of the visual sightings, and regular aircraft are being mistaken for drones.

Everyone who knows me knows I hate trump. But.. hear me out on this.. He's not wrong about everything. This needs to happen. Iran CANNOT have nuclear weapons. Whatever you think about him, you should support this 100%. Fuck Iran.
President-elect Donald Trump is planning for how to stop Iran as it gets closer to being able to build a nuclear weapon, including the possibility of airstrikes https://t.co/68eJDTaTXG via @WSJ
@Xcizior@justadad1954@YourAnonNews I get it. You believe aliens have recently visited Earth, maybe are currently visiting Earth.
Doesn't change the fact that these are US military drones and regular aircraft people are mistaking for drones.
@StijnOerde@Aviation_Intel People are absolutely mistaking normal planes for drones, but there are large drones too. There was a story about a dozen or more following a US Coast Guard vessel.

@Xcizior@justadad1954@YourAnonNews Of course, intelligent life exists elsewhere. Maybe it's been here, maybe not. But just because you don't know the source of these drones, does NOT mean it's fucking aliens, though it sure would be respectful of them to have those flashing lights and follow FAA regulations.
