INSIGHT

1947 Built The Modern Security State

The 1947 National Security Act centralized US military and intelligence power, creating the CIA and NSC with broad, vague authority.
That vagueness enabled secret programs and surveillance precedents that later expanded into Cold War and post-9/11 structures.

INSIGHT

Majestic 12 Frames UFO Deep-State Theory

Majestic 12 (MJ-12) alleges a secret committee formed to handle UFO recoveries and extraterrestrial tech, originating with leaked documents in 1987.
The claim ties to Roswell, Project Sign/Grudge, and an ongoing narrative of an unseen 'invisible college' controlling alien knowledge.

ANECDOTE

Forrestal's Death Fuels MJ-12 Suspicion

Joel recounts James Forrestal's hospitalization and mysterious death, noting doubts about the official suicide story.
The conspiracy view is Forrestal was silenced because he knew too much about MJ-12 and alien matters.
