  I mean, some of them are vague to the point of being banal. The NDAA is just the bi-annual Congressional requirement to reauthorize US military operations abroad.

  Why would anyone have that marked out as a conspiracy theory on the level of MK Ultra or Operation Northwoods? No reason you’d recognize the acronym as such.

    NDAA authorizing almost a trillion dollars to the military industrial complex. Nothing to see here just spending that exceeds 9-10 countries.

    Hundreds of thousands of civilians have died by US bombing in the last fifty years. I would place continuing to authorize this obtuse amount of overspending way worse than MK Ultra.

      NDAA authorizing almost a trillion dollars to the military industrial complex

      Congress authorizes it. I guess you could just put “Congress” on the list. Or maybe “The Pentagon”.

      Hundreds of thousands of civilians have died by US bombing in the last fifty years.

      With Iran, Syria, and Yemen you could probably get to 100k in one or two years.

      Nevermind our airstrikes across Latin America, the various African states, and our collaborations with Israel in Gaza.

      Hell, the US can take credit for quite a few kills in Ukraine thanks to our long standing policy of playing both ends against the middle.

        The fact that amount of money being spent is absolutely obscene and NDAA is effectively the military industrial complex.

        I get you don’t think it should be on the list, but an open conspiracy is still a conspiracy.

    Is it as pernicious?

      I don’t think “pernicious” would describe the NDAA, no.

  There’s a list, start reading. You won’t be taught this in school, you need to educate yourself. I suggest doing it now, before the resources start to disappear, which could happen any day now.

    I know A LOT, to be fair. Just not all. I feel like in cases like these, its hard to even know where to turn for sources

    All of these have produced a few books each, found in a very public and open archive run by some woman named Anna. I don’t think they’ll be going away that easily.
