Over the past decade, it&#8217;s conceivable that over a trillion taxpayer dollars have seemingly vanished. What on Earth could possibly justify such a staggering expense?

If we truly possess technology capable of this, wouldn\u2019t we utilize agents to gather intelligence from the past? When they arrive at their destination, they would need some means of obtaining essentials like food and safety.
