There are a lot of things we laugh about, which we really should not laugh about, but about which we otherwise don’t know what to do. For example, the meme that “we used to worry about Big Brother listening in. Now we ask Big Brother for cupcake recipes.” Ponder how many Echoes and Alexas out there are hearing EVERYTHING.
But on this specific topic, I will connect it to some reading/watching I am doing about an alleged “secret space program”. Now, this is wacky stuff, filled with people incapable of performing basic logical operations. I wanted to like Ancient Aliens, but you see statements like “Aliens must have lived in buildings, and many early humans lived in buildings too. Ancient astronaut theorists speculate aliens must have taught early humans how to put roofs over their heads.”
That is all much too much. The series I am watching–Deep Space on Gaia–has similar non sequiturs. They do, however, also include some things I find truly interesting. For example, what they call Zero Point Torsion Fields (in any event, torsion fields, to which I have added Zero Point) are quite similar to the dream I had of space “helicopters” Helicopters create vortexes of air which they use for propulsion. The idea here is simply that you have props consisting in energetic currents which interact with the Zero Point energy quantum physics stipulates is everywhere. If it exists, it can be touched, and if it can be touched it can be used.
Putting it all together, and bringing it back on topic, many of these people speculate about a “break away civilization”. Maybe they are building vast cities underground. Maybe on the moon, using classified technology.
But would 8.5 TRILLION, with a T, be enough to do all that? Categorically. Ponder that number for a moment. Take an average European nation, say Sweden. Their GDP in 2017 was 538 Billion in US dollars. This comprised the entirety of their business output, all the buildings and roads built, merchandise exchanged, everything. 8.5 trillion represents just under 16 years of that.
And to be clear, I am not talking about the money spent by the government. I am talking the WHOLE ECONOMY.
Put another way, the Federal budget seems to be about $4 trillion a year, which is as high as it has ever been. The amount of money which the DoD alone cannot account for is equal to 2 and a half years of EVERYTHING the Federal government spends money on. All the military, all the Social Security, all the money spent servicing the debt.
And as the Yahoo article states, the DoD has, uniquely, never been subjected to an audit.
Do you not think it odd that there have been no serious calls for this? That 2 entire years of budgets can just be vanished, and nobody, no Congressperson, no President, asks WTF?
I’m not a high trust person. It seems likely to me that at least very large underground bases have been built, with underground train connections. I have seen these in my dreams. I once saw some old, tired aliens on the moon, flying technology they no longer understood, and could no longer build. But that is the limit of what I have seen.
When you are talking those amounts of money though–and I will note this is the DoD ALONE, and that black budgets could quite easily be attached to other entities, like NASA–it is not unreasonable to suppose there is some very large back story. And the missing amount was from 1996 to the present. This does not even include what was diverted or went missing during the Cold War, when expenditures, relatively, were much higher.
Financially, the money clearly exists to build a “break away civilization”. I am watching these things, yelling at my computer from time to time, and being genuinely intrigued in others.
Here are some truly interesting quotes, from someone who clearly existed within the mainstream (Lockhead Martin), Ben Rich:
“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.”
Further:
“We now have the technology to take ET home. No, it won’t take someone’s lifetime to do it. There is an error in the equations. We know what it is. We now have the capability to travel to the stars. First, you have to understand that we will not get to the stars using chemical propulsion. Second, we have to devise a new propulsion technology. What we have to do is find out where Einstein went wrong.”
When Rich was asked how UFO propulsion worked, he said, “Let me ask you. How does ESP work?”The questioner responded with, “All points in time and space are connected?” Rich then said, “That’s how it works!”
And this:
It was Ben Rich’s opinion that the public should not be told [about UFOs and extraterrestrials] . He believed they could not handle the truth — ever. Only in the last months of his decline did he begin to feel that the “international corporate board of directors” dealing with the “Subject” could represent a bigger problem to citizens’ personal freedoms under the United States Constitution than the presence of off-world visitors themselves.”
Actually, I will add this, which you may not know about. I can’t remember if I decided to post it. I look at a lot of things which I just can’t bring myself to comment on. I just don’t know. It is impossible to know. But this is highly interesting, even if one posits odd psychological reasons for it. But really, does this seem plausible as a hoax, or does he seem delusional? Form your own judgment.

Again, I underscore that oceans of money have gone missing. I will offer one last comparison: about $1 trillion per year is allocated annually for “social programs”, for the social safety net, per year in the United States. Based on the amount of money missing, we could increase that amount 50% and it would last 17 years.
Something is going on. I think if Trump REALLY wants to set off every warning bell possible, getting someone tasked with getting to the bottom of all this is the best way to do it. In the interim, an audit of the Pentagon should be done.
