NAZCA has money to burn...

Obviously, or why would they be planning a Venus probe?

Two high-altitude balloons built to hover in sulphuric acid clouds could be part of a future fleet of spacecraft sent to Venus, a NASA advisory team says.

The multi-billion-dollar mission concept – which is being considered for launch in the next fifteen years – could help reveal more about Venus's runaway greenhouse effect, any oceans it may once have had, and possible ongoing volcanic activity.

It could be the next flagship mission sent to a planet, after a planned mission to Jupiter and its moons set for launch in 2020.

The Venus mission would cost some $3 billion to 4 billion and would launch between 2020 and 2025, according to NASA, which in 2008 tasked a group of scientists and engineers to formulate goals for the mission.

Missions to the Moon or Mars, or even the lunar systems of the gas giants make sense to me, since they could be of some practical use to us. A mission to Venus seems pretty low on the priorities list to me. Unless you're talking about some Inanna/Ishtar/Hathor/Aphrodite ritual cycle bit, I guess.

Maybe Bernie Madoff funneled all of his billions to the space program.

Yeah, "Bernie Madoff" did it... I finally "clicked" and now think he was a fall guy (amazing how the media can distract [hoodwink] anyone from the truth, even those with an idea of what's really going on), which you've definitely implied.

So all that "disappeared" money is going into the space program for their rituals, and god knows what other projects, and to disrupt the flow of the economy and cause deep (deserved, in this case) distrust to make us all poor. Some people talk like Madoff invented the pyramid scheme... Haha.
