Pentagon: trillions of dollars have disappeared

Réseau InternationalPentagon: trillions of dollars have disappeared

International Network - Nov 25, 2023

The Pentagon fails a new audit. It's not for nothing that the Pentagon is said to be the government's favorite money laundering tool.

   

It's comical that they would even attempt to audit the Pentagon when they know the agency will fail miserably. The government spent $187 million to carry out this insignificant audit of 700 sites. This year, like the previous year, only 7 of the 29 sub-audits were successful. HALF of the declared assets were found nowhere by the 1600 auditors involved. How can trillions of dollars disappear?

Trillions have disappeared since the period leading up to September 11, 2001. There is no investigation underway to determine the whereabouts of these funds that belong to taxpaying citizens. The September 11, 2001 attack occurred a day after former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sounded the alarm and informed the public that $2300 trillion in transactions could not be traced. The demolition of WTC7 on September 11 destroyed the room where the Pentagon audit was taking place and which happened to be the location of my computer system. I received a letter from the SEC explaining that everything had simply been destroyed and no further questions could be asked.

This was just the tip of the Pentagon's long history of misplacing trillions of dollars. In May, the Pentagon admitted to misplacing thousands of F-35 jet parts worth $1,6 billion. Then, in June, the Pentagon announced that it had misplaced more than $6,2 billion in funds intended for Ukraine. “We have confirmed that for FY2023, the final calculation is $3,6 billion, and for FY22, $2,6 billion, for a combined total of $6,2 billion” , said the Pentagon press secretary. “These assessment errors do not in any way limit or restrict the size of our Defense assistance programs, nor do they impact support provided to Ukraine.” The Pentagon blamed the missing funds on an “accounting error” and never discussed the situation again. The press secretary said their main concern was simply being able to continue paying money to Ukraine.

Lloyd Austin has served as Secretary of Defense since January 2021. Instead of focusing on his duties at home, Austin traveled to Ukraine days after the failed audit to provide support to Zelensky. “We will stay with you for the long haul. What happened here in Ukraine is important not only for Ukraine, but also for the rest of the world. It’s certainly important for the United States of America,” he said.
