I think that people who have kept the secret are starting to come around to the fact the toothpaste is well and truly out of the tube. Now if you’re Lockheed Martin or one of the other defense contractors responsible for keeping the secret until now what are your next steps?
Well if the truth is really coming out the next thing they’re going to want to do is figure out how to maximize their own financial benefits from disclosure. The reason they want to kill the eminent domain clause and not the entire bill is so that they can maintain the materials that they have, that way after disclosure all of the most brilliant scientists in the world will give their left arm to work at Lockheed Martin.
They will get to take credit for world changing technologies reverse engineered in their laboratories. They will receive billions in government contracts to study and work with exotic materials only now out in the open. They’ll want to claim exclusive intellectual property rights on derived technologies and that is a fight that will have to have later once the phenomenon is acknowledged reality.
At this point they know that the information is coming out whether they like it or not, and so their stooges in Congress are not trying to block the secrets anymore, they’re trying to craft the laws so that Lockheed Martin and other holders of nhi technology will become the undisputed leaders of the technological boom that will inevitably result from the influx of new money and minds to work on these projects.
Now let me be clear, we cannot and should not allow these private companies to exploit technology which should go towards the benefit of all mankind for only their own personal gain. However this is where they have the advantage, as long as the General Public doesn’t think that any of this stuff is real then they can craft the laws that govern this Tech without very much pushback.
Unfortunately the battle to democratize the information and technology that we can derive from exotic materials can only really be fought after disclosure has has led to the mainstream acceptance that nhi are here. Also unfortunately Lockheed Martin and others get to prepare themselves to win that battle before it gets started.
That being said, it looks to me like they’re ready for the truth to come out if they aren’t trying to kill the whole amendment, but they do want to make sure that when it does, they stand to gain as much as possible.
TLDR: Defense contractors and secret keepers know that the truth will come out, all they want to do now is make sure they get crazy rich off of it.
