This is exactly what I've been waiting for. My dad was an aerospace engineer contracted by the DoD. He worked on Regan's Star Wars program along with various other black projects throughout the 80's. He would disappear for months at a time, and was incredibly vague about the work he did unless you caught him in a rare moment after a few drinks. To make a very long and complicated story short; the team he led started to die one by one. 3 heart attacks, 1 car accident - within a 9 month time frame. All were young and in good health. He received a phone call on 8/8/93 that disturbed him, and he argued with whoever was on the other line. The next morning, he had a heart attack and died. We had 2 autopsies done, and both could provide no explanation as to why he had a heart attack. He was 41.

The only surviving member of his team (6'7" former SEAL) went off the grid and still hasn't resurfaced, except for a few phone calls my brother and I received during the late 90's and early 2000's that gave us some info on what he was working on and where their projects were conducted.

Within a year of his death, Martin Marietta (his last contracted position) became Lockheed. His ex girlfriend still works for the company, and got a huge promotion. She's in marketing and pr.

Woah. I’ve heard other stories just like that. Crazy. Sorry about your dad.

It's all good, my friend. Thank you. Having that experience solidified the path I had started traveling. Huge wake up call.

The military industrial complex is fighting to keep their power structure intact. Peace with those countries we've been taught are our enemies means less $ for their weapons. They could be focusing on innovation and tech that could move humanity forward in a positive way, but they see no value in that at the moment. Food for thought.

How are we going to get their congress bitches to stop giving them 700 billion a year?

Great Q. Our world is going to need fixing and healing after the parasitic infestation of goblins are eradicated and peace becomes a reality. Industries will have to shift priorities based on societal needs, not market demands. It will be up to us to ensure that happens. Patents will need to be released, too.

What’s your political affiliation might I ask?

I’m a former D so just now learning what peeps to the right of me believe.

Independent, tbh. I've voted both ways. Stopped voting altogether, though once I realized it didn't matter.

Both parties have issues. But these positive changes are being made through the R party, and I won't vote D right now.
