When its all private, well compartmentalized organisations that can both kill and pull fiat out of the actual government at will, is it then "the government" that is developing secret tech?

The way things are shaping up in Congress it seems to me that this fact is now dawning on the elected puppeticians... Some of them might be brave enough to keep pushing, of course leading to all sorts of psyops and disinfo being spread, but with some real stuff mixed in...

Fascinating, complex stuff!
