>Which makes it unclassified
Information which falls into a category which necessitates classification is presumed classified until and unless it is declassified.

You've got this backwards. We don't need to provide evidence this shit was classified. You need to provide evidence it was declassified.

And before you fall back on old excuses, you can't declassify shit with your mind. There needs to be an official declassification.

Also, even if this shit WERE declassified, it would still be illegal to disseminate it while it is relevant to national defense, per the Espionage Act. Section 793 is applies explicitly to this sort of shit.
>Whoever, lawfully having possession of, access to, control over, or being entrusted with any...information relating to the national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it on demand to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it;
>Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any...information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
