It's a pretty big jump from "forensic accounting" to "here's what's going on at Area 51" particularly when nearly all of the budget is redacted.

There's also no real way to know how much money going to Groom lake is NSA money (redacted), NRO money (redacted), DIA money (more easily trackable but not necessarily unlaundered through other programs) and CIA money (same problem as DIA).

You have very poor support for any of your ideas - I like them, but you're pulling them out of your ass the same as dreamlandresort.com and abovetopsecret.com. Chances are good that Aurora flew, but stopped flying back in the '90s. Sitings dropped to nothing about '98, right about the time the NRO's new generation of smaller, more agile spy satellites. I've talked about this at length.

If this stuff truly interests you, I recommend pretty much anything by Trevor Paglen, particularly this book.

TL;DR: I study this stuff avidly and have for years and I wouldn't jump to the conclusions you have... but I recognize how fun it is to speculate.
