Is no one managing the USA?

In this post, I got a bit carried away with the topic. But
I cannot avoid discussing this point with you because
it is crucial for understanding the world we live in. The
investigation into the phenomenon of Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena (UAP/UFO) has not led to extraterrestrial
conspiracies but to a fundamental problem of American
governance. Analyzing congressional hearings, declassified
documents, and the history of the AARO (All-domain
Anomaly Resolution Office) program shows that the US
national security system has created an autonomous parallel
reality that operates by its own laws. Its original task -
to identify threats - is being replaced by a single purpose:
existing for the sake of existence. The situation faced by
the public has shocked even seasoned conspiracies theorists.
Neither the court, the Pentagon, nor Congress can provide an
answer to a simple question: does a memorandum on the UFO
topic, "Yankee Blue," even exist? Brief chronology of
events: In June 2023, The Wall Street Journal published an
article about a purported memorandum issued in spring 2023,
demanding the cessation of the "Yankee Blue" memorandum.
On June 17, 2025, The Black Vault (https://shorten.ly/7mora)
submitted a FOIA request to the OSD (Office of the Secretary
of Defense) seeking a copy of this memorandum. In September
2025, the OSD, through its FOIA office, stated that it had
not found the requested memorandum, having conducted only a
search within the Correspondence Management Division (CMD).
Then, on October 1, 2025, Pentagon spokesperson Susan Goff
stated she could not confirm the existence of the
memorandum. On September 17, 2025, The Black Vault
journalist filed an appeal (https://shorten.ly/X7k61),
claiming that the search was inadequate. On December 12,
2025, the Pentagon's Appeals Board upheld the appeal and
returned the request to the OSD for a more extensive search
across other departments. Thus, the Pentagon was operating
with a non-existent document and is now compelled to clarify
its status definitively. However, it is assumed that its
existence cannot be confirmed because the department that
created it is either classified, nonexistent, or not part of
the US Department of Defense. Funding for such programs is
hidden from taxpayers, which means the main management
apparatus of the Pentagon is unaware of what is happening.
It cannot prove that something does not exist because it
itself does not know what truly exists. The system can only
manage categories like aircraft, drones, or ballistic
missiles. Anomalies lack a category - they are objects
outside classification and, therefore, outside jurisdiction.
The memorandum appears to be an obvious attempt by the
system to create a procedure for classifying phenomena that
are, shall we say, non-material in nature - something the
system itself denies. Consequently, someone inadvertently
created a phantom department responsible for investigating
what does not physically exist within the materialist
paradigm of bureaucracy. This suggests that UFOs are not
so much physical objects as paper tigers - products of
institutional red tape and procedural deadlock. A system
constrained by secrecy fights a ghost it itself created,
attempting to document and embed it into some official
matter. The system produced an ideal outcome - a statement
that cannot be proven or disproven. To obtain information
about UAPs, a request must pass through departments whose
primary task is to withhold information. The system sets the
rules of the game in which victory is impossible by design.
Its goal is not to find the truth but to prove that it
cannot be found. Congressional pressure has not led to the
declassification of archives but to the creation of new
bureaucratic units - from the UAP Task Force to AARO. Each
new structure requires funding, staffing, reporting, and -
most importantly - creates a new layer of secrecy to protect
against external interference. The Pentagon's system
operates not with human lives, suffering, or disasters, but
with mathematical models, statistics, and terminology. This
creates a vacuum where absurd decisions seem technical
and justified. There is a fatal belief that complex
technological methods cannot err and are the ultimate
arbiters in all matters. The problem of "false alarms" or
malfunctions is not seen as a probable catastrophe but as a
mere technical glitch that can be "accounted for in future
calculations." Information is tightly controlled and
classified under the pretext of "national security."
However, this secrecy primarily serves to shield the system
from external scrutiny, criticism, and accountability.
The logic of the Pentagon's system is built on constantly
expecting the worst-case scenario from a hypothetical
adversary who, as it turns out, is unknown. This paranoid
stance is self-justifying and self-perpetuating: the system
exists to combat a threat whose scale it itself does not
understand. This, in turn, demands increased funding.
Within this complex hierarchical structure, it is impossible
to identify a specific individual making such final,
responsible decisions, as responsibility dissolves into
collective committees, top-down orders, procedures, and
job descriptions. This leads to a situation where no one
personally bears responsibility for any potential outcome.
The system speaks in its own closed language (jargon) and
is fundamentally incapable of dialogue with external entities.
The original goal (security) is replaced by the process of
its probable achievement - that is, the process becomes an
end in itself. The system works not to achieve results but
to sustain its own functioning and expansion. Ultimately,
people face not aliens or UFOs but a faceless technocratic
machine that, due to its internal flaws, poses an
existential threat in itself.
