1991 FBI investigation of Steve Job’s reality distortion field revealed

Today the FBI released new documents to their electronic reading room—The Vault. This reading room has over 3,000 scanned documents for your reading interests, and a search option is available if you’re looking for something in particular. The released documents show that interestingly enough, back in 1991, Steve Jobs had been considered for a “sensitive” position in the Bush Administration. It seems the F.B.I. had known all along about Jobs’ “patented reality distortion field.”

“Several individuals commented concerning past drug use on the part of Mr. Jobs’ honesty stating that Mr. Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals. They also commented that, in the past, Mr. Jobs was not supporting of [redacted] (the mother of his child born out of welock) and their daughter; however, has become supportive.”

The report also said:

“Twenty-nine additional persons, consisting of colleagues, neighbors, references, professional associates, and social acquaintances, were interviewed. They provided favorable comments concerning Mr. Jobs’ character, associates, reputation, and loyalty. They stated they are unaware of any current illegal drug abuse by Mr. Jobs, nor have they ever known him to exhibit any type of bias or prejudice against any class of citizen[.] [...] They recommend him for a position of trust and responsibility.”

Part of us thinks Jobs wouldn’t particularly fancy working for the White House, after all, “honesty and integrity [were] not required qualities to hold such a position.”

Other interesting facts in the report showed Jobs was the victim of a bomb threat in 1985 and reported 3 lawsuits against Apple in that time period.
