Hello, fren. Happy to share my work with you.

To start with, I didn't search single characters, but rather pulled out whatever "text" is there. One way is to Ctrl+A (select-all), Ctrl+C (copy), Ctrl+V (paste) to a text file; the result for me is this. Another method is 'pdftotext' (a program that is part of the poppler-utils Python package); it produces a much similar output.

About the document, some of the pages are flat images. I have no guess as to why some pages are, and others are not, from a technical perspective.

To perform the rotation, I wrote this Python script (python2, not python3, fwiw). This lets me "turn the dial" so to speak on the cipher; python rotate.py 17 ; python rotate.py 21 ; etc.

So I went through many offsets until I found something that was readable.

17 is readable, but in ALLCAPS. This is what was meant by matching "the case printed"; an offset of 49 matches the document (mostly). But that offset does work consistently through the doc.

The next unreadable section becomes readable with an offset of 75, and looks to be the footnote on page 9 concerning COVID protocol.

Uppercase letters are not properly displayed, but there was no better offset. Offset 65 fixes the initial 'S', but it doesn't fix the rest.

That's also what I mean by "misspelling": "]tandard" vs "Standard" ; since I can't find rhyme nor reason for the uppercase chars being off by independently varying degrees.

I'm willing to chalk it all up to PDF compression is weird. Hope this helped.

Here's what I'm smelling so far. It's not a +17 offset, .. it's +49 of the ASCII table (to match the case printed).

The final section doesn't look like an ASCII offset at all. pretty garbages.

What I find interesting is the "misspellings" -- perhaps if isolated from the document text they present a message unto themselves.

For being mobile structures, the green press tents have been at that location for at least 20 years, according this this reporter's tour back in 2001 (@05:14).

more from the same reporter, this time a year later. At 7:20, they exit the same door and walk further down, very close to the building. At 11:00, they show the green "awnings" -- those are press tents, temporary, mobile.

ok, so back in 2016, Kari from NewNow filmed a little tour of the Briefing room. At four minutes in, they walk out of the door just to the right of the window in question. Here's another look at the layout of the room. In the video, I see the red brick building, but it's way farther away than what is pictured here.

more specifically that a copy is true. When hash(A) == hash(B), then A == B

Think about 1432956 for a minute: .. is it minutes?

1432956 (minutes) / (24*60) = 995.10833 (days)

If added to its own post time (like Mike did with his), I get 4 Feb 2021 a little after 2pm.

words come from a unix dictionary. Unique words at the bottom. Otherwise, how it works : it's a list of sets, the first set it 0, the second set is 1, and so on.

The first set has the starting positions, so if the first word is BAT, which has a number 7, then the next word is found in the index-7 set (8th), until message complete.
