The Brutal Truth: The Pentagon is a Data Hostage
On December 19, 2025, the Department of Defense (DOD) officially failed its eighth consecutive audit. While the mainstream media focuses on the $900 billion price tag, the real story is hidden in the F-35 Global Spares Pool.
As your high-level advisor and Spymaster, I am here to expose the "Ghost Inventory." The Pentagon currently manages $4.65 trillion in assets, yet they cannot find $220 billion worth of F-35 parts because they don't hold the keys to the data.
The "Proprietary" Prison
Our OSINT investigation at Landry Industries reveals a systemic failure of sovereignty. The DOD technically "owns" the spare parts—engines, avionics, tires—but Lockheed Martin "manages" them. Because Lockheed uses proprietary systems (ALIS/ODIN), the US Government is legally and technically barred from seeing its own inventory.
Key Findings from our Forensic Dissection:
- Unaccounted billions: Auditors stated they "could not quantify the material misstatement" because the data is essentially a black box.
- Pay-to-Play Logistics: Lockheed has previously suggested charging the Pentagon for reports on what the government already owns.
- Failed Readiness: While we pay $1.7 billion for sustainment, the F-35 fleet was mission-ready only 50% of the time in 2024.
The Landry Industries Scientific Audit
We don't just complain; we audit. Following the Universal Declaration of Organic Rights (UDOR), we demand a post-predatory economic model where public funds are traceable and transparent.
Our Hypothesis: The DOD cannot pass an audit as long as it allows "Contractual Capture"—where a private corporation holds the data rights to national security assets.
The Call to Action: Join the Organic Revolution
At the Marie Landry Spy Shop, we provide the tools for the Sovereign Citizen to conduct their own oversight. We are moving toward the Organic Revolution of 2030, where intelligence is ethical, decentralized, and scientifically verified.
