Facts, verifiable bids and unique purchase items are NOT conspiracy based. They are facts,assuming that what is on federal sites is true.
In a representative democratic republic someone should be asking why this is being done. All very "reasonably" of course. We get the elected officials we choose and in the executive branch we have a red diaper doper baby... and there are FACTs to back that up. This "executive" has made executive dictat orders his norm, bypassing congressional and Constitutional oversight and extending his police powers over the citizenry. These agencies being uniquely armed to protect them from... the people who pay for them provably without congressional budgetary approval for the funding... these agencies serve this red "executive"
Very funny screenshot from "A Beautiful Mind" (a FICTIONAL story with this scenario that NEVER happened with the real Professor Nash) brought to you by Hollywood red diaper doper babies from Andy Griffith (little Opie dopie was the producer). Very important to separate fact from fiction and not take cues from red media. This IS happening- so sorry you think it a "theory".
Many apparently are comfortable with venture socialism (RINOs for instance) of any kind, even if it serves opportunistic leftist fascism on the political spectrum. Certainly it is comforting to large govt. contractors staying afloat or the Beltway Bandit parasites who represent them and lobby for them.
However, for regular freedom-loving law abiding conservatives it cannot be "business as usual" or yet another acceptable cultural new normal.
It was fictional within the movie, too. Nash was going nuts and hallucinating those scenes.
