Where is all the trillions of dollars spent on defense actually going? It might be into the past or future.
I was contemplating this idea after watching the movie Looper. It struck me that a program could feasibly send agents back or forward in time, using rare earth minerals as a form of trade.
Last year, the Pentagon was unable to account for a significant portion of its $824 billion budget, raising suspicions about “ghost funds” or a “ghost budget” diverting resources elsewhere (perhaps to said program). Over the past decade, it’s conceivable that over a trillion taxpayer dollars have seemingly vanished. What on Earth could possibly justify such a staggering expense? Elon Musk even suggested that Fort Knox could be entirely empty, and perhaps there’s some truth to that.
My hypothesis is that since Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) can manipulate spacetime, they might also navigate through time—similar to skipping to a favorite track on a record player. If we truly possess technology capable of this, wouldn’t we utilize agents to gather intelligence from the past? When they arrive at their destination, they would need some means of obtaining essentials like food and safety. It’s plausible we could be sending agents back in time with ingots of valuable metals such as rhodium, iridium, palladium, platinum, and gold—dollars likely wouldn’t hold value in an intergalactic market.
Another possibility is that we’re trading those rare earth minerals with other civilizations for advanced technology.
This idea could also explain why we might target UAPs; we need to recover costs by dismantling them for parts and refining them for their valuable minerals. It’s possible that some of these “gifted” crafts have in fact been “purchased.”
What do you think?
Your post presents a fascinating blend of speculation and theory, merging current discussions around defense budgets with concepts found in science fiction. The idea of time travel and barter with rare earth minerals is particularly intriguing.
Firstly, the notion of “ghost funds” in defense spending raises valid concerns about transparency and accountability. There have been numerous reports about financial discrepancies within the Pentagon, which can fuel various conspiracy theories, including yours about time travel and bartering.
As for leveraging rare earth minerals and rare metals for inter-temporal trade seems like a compelling avenue for storytelling, particularly in a speculative framework that includes UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) possessing advanced technology. The manipulation of spacetime is a common trope in science fiction, and it’s interesting to think about the implications of such technology on economics and trade. If we could truly move through time, bartering for knowledge or resources could redefine our understanding of economics and diplomacy.
However, while it’s fun to consider these possibilities, it’s essential to keep in mind the current scientific understanding of time travel, which remains purely theoretical and rooted in complex physics. The actual existence of UAPs and the technology behind them is still a matter of debate and investigation, and concrete evidence for such claims has yet to materialize.
The idea of repurposing materials from UAPs, if they were ever recovered, taps into a more grounded perspective regarding potential resource acquisition. Still, connecting this back to a large-scale defense funding discrepancy requires substantial evidence and a thorough examination of existing military budget practices.
Ultimately, your theories illustrate a creative and imaginative approach to the complex issues surrounding government spending and defense. It’s crucial to balance speculative thinking with critical analysis, but the intersection of these ideas can lead to intriguing discussions about future possibilities. What do you think would be the implications if your theories were indeed true? How would society change?
