I think nearly all of the DARPA/CIA programs that scare people into thinking that magic is real or there’s some sinister cabal running everything (remote viewing, teleportation, population control, on and on) are actually just fake bureaucratic bloat.

There are *trillions* in unaccounted funding. These programs are probably all about one thing: getting funding for people you know. They have to talk it up to make it seem like it’s legit, but it’s all fake.

You grew up at a country club with some guy, went to school with another. He gets to run some “research program” with an 8 or 9 figure budget and he makes an easy 6 or 7 figure salary. They scratch each other’s back with slush fund money.

Oh and “top secret” bloat is out of control, so you can’t see into any of it. Even the most banal shit is TS, like catering orders and parking rules for interns.

In one sense, it’s less scary because there likely isn’t one unified effort to coordinate evil, like in the movies. In another sense, the banality of this bureaucratic evil is terrifying. Many of the men running these programs will create untold civilian collateral damage…all because their wife is bitching that they need a new Range Rover, the mortgage on the Hampton’s house is due, and they have multiple kids enrolled in Ivys.

Either I get this new funding grant for some BS, or my wife starts fucking the pool guy to get back at me. What would you do?
