It's taken 5 years after numerous land purchases and a giant $500m lawsuit against landowners for people to get suspicious? Doesn't that seem entirely backwards, that a "mysterious company" can own so much in such short time and that's perfectly legal no red flags? It's only a problem now because it's near a base which is pure absurdity, they would likely also buy the land the base is on and demolish it for their given reason "interstate commerce".

companies and people buy lots of things all over the place all the time. raising alarms about it gets ignored because of alarm fatigue, and because it rarely matters or can be stopped without grinding the economy to a halt. and someone will always be worried about literally anything and everything, even stuff that doesn’t exist or didn’t happen.
