I unironically love it. rumsfeld a ghoul but it's a useful way to divvy up ignorance and put learning goals into perspective

Yeah they'll get to investigating that right after Donny, I'm sure.

My conspiracy theory is that after JFK tried to gut the 3 letter agencies because he found out they were lying to him (all of this is fact, not the conspiracy), the three letter agencies murdered him, and then his brother, and they’ve told every president since what will happen to them if they stand up to the agencies. Not that anyone since JFK would have done much for the people even given the chance, but it’s entirely prevented from being a possibility now.

I don't think you even have to get that vague. JFK fired Allen Dulles, the head of the CIA. Dulles, a man famous for implementing "regime change" abroad, went back to his club house with his old CIA friends. And then two years later, the President's head explodes. LBJ appoints Dulles to the Warren Commission to find out Who Donnit. Then Dulles got to retire to a bunch of book deal money and speaking gigs, while his proteges continued to infest the halls of power through to the modern era.

With Robert Kennedy, it was the same game but J. Edgar Hoover doing the deed. Kennedy was at war with the mob and the Klan, both of whom Hoover needed in his pocket fight against those damned pinko commies. So, once again, a Kennedy's head explodes mysteriously and the FBI gets back to doing what it does best.

gee i wonder what's going on someone should do an investigation it's not as if the pentagon gets all of its money from taxpayers

They also get a lot of it from trafficking and selling drugs.

Yeah this is my theory too, after all the info came out about secret drug running and mafia ops being pulled by the CIA the spooks figured out they could just bury all this shit in the pentagon budget instead. Phony contracts for money laundering and the like

Asked by a reporter when the Pentagon expects to pass an audit, Sabrina Singh said that she can’t predict the future, but that when the Pentagon did, she would let them know.

LMAO the Pentagon is so flagrantly above the law that they can just tell people that they'll follow regulations whenever they feel like it
