For the sake of argument I'm going to assume that link points to the order
that finally showed up?  Pleae note that prior to it's arrival at
infowarrior, the order was of no force nor effect - as I am sure you will
agree.  Assuming they have now seen and thereby become bound by the order,
I am certain they will comply and honor it.  However, I have neither a
copy of any order, nor personal knowledge of any terms of any order, and
am currently not bound to destroy any copy(s) I may have made.

The law also recognizes that unenforceable orders are void on their face,
and if that link is in fact an order to every person who has ever seen the
document to forget and destroy - the order is impossible on it's face due
to the sheer numbers of people involved.

I do not much follow this crap anymore, as I am sure you noticed due to my
almost non-existent posting here in the last year or so (work doesn't
leave much time for play) - yet even I was sent copies by multiple people
prior to hearing about it here.

The barn is empty.  The herd has carried the "secret" to the far corners
of the earth.  It's over.

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it is
a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs they
are intended to support.
