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.
We’ve been passing NDAAs since The Korean War without hitting this level of mass slaughter.
Not contesting your overall point, but the Korean War was mass slaughter galore. The US almost completely flattened North Korea, and proportionally more North Koreans died in the war than Soviets did in WWII. If there’s a time when the US didn’t inflict mass slaughter on its enemies, it sure as hell wasn’t 1950-1953.
I get what you are saying, but a conspiracy is a pretty broad definition that definitely encompasses NDAA.
“Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, generally requiring intent and, in many jurisdictions, an overt act toward the goal. In the U.S., federal conspiracy (18 USC 371) to defraud or commit an offense has a 5-year statute of limitations, often starting from the last overt act.”
Considering the enormous amounts of fraud that have been committed by misusing these funds along with the lack of oversight I think it would definitely be a criminal conspiracy at this point.
Who knows how much money has been missappropiated. We may never know because no one will do the work necessary to find out. What would you call an unauditable agency that is funded by tax payer money?
It is not however a conspiracy theory if that is what you are alluding to. Also, your original point of putting in Pentagon might make more sense than the framework for funding it.

Congress authorizes it. I guess you could just put “Congress” on the list. Or maybe “The Pentagon”.
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.
But you don’t get all that out of “The NDAA exists”. We’ve been passing NDAAs since The Korean War without hitting this level of mass slaughter.

The fact that amount of money being spent is absolutely obscene and the NDAA is effectively the funding for the military industrial complex.
I get you don’t think it should be on the list, but an open conspiracy is still a conspiracy.
US military hegemony isn’t a conspiracy, it’s a popular public policy
