I have developed a “conspiracy blueprint theory” that I believe that they always use when they engage in a conspiracy.
It starts with the assumption that people don’t want to be the bad guys and most conspiracies need at least some amount of participation from hundreds or thousands of people.
It also involves the idea of some version of a “limited hangout”...

The limited hangout is the abridged or sanitized version of the truth that they tell the collaborators who otherwise wouldn’t participate or would spill the beans if forced to participate.
With JFK, the USSR was the limited hangout. The coup organizers needed hundreds or thousands of people to participate in the coverup of the murder of the President so they told the collaborators that the USSR killed Kennedy and it needed to be covered up to avoid WW3. The people helping cover it up thought they were the “good guys”.
In this drone scenario, I think the missing nuclear material is the limited hang out. I’m not sure what the ultimate conspiracy is but I think they are using the nuclear material angle to get civilians/military/media to cooperate.
It may be as simple as that they want to freak people out to increase the surveillance state...
That is distinctly one of the agendas in play. The totalitarians among us are incredibly quick to exploit opportunities for PSYOPs that can increase their control of the population. They are doing that right now with the "drone sightings".
But there are still other things going on. Multiple players, multiple agendas, multiple opportunistic exploitations. Embrace the power of the word "AND".
