U.S. Ignored ~100,000 Whistleblower Complaints in Past 5 Years

in #war5 years ago (edited)

We live in some pretty corrupt times. All around the world, governments are lying to the people they are supposed to serve. Of course, it's people in government, as government itself isn't a thing with agency of it's own. People in government are the ones moving the gears of government, and taking us all for a ride.

The biggest ride is the war machine ride. This is especially so in the case of the USA. People are being taken for a ride, deceived and fooled, paying trillions in taxes. We don't have a choice on what the money is spent on, but we pay because we're coerced into paying it. And out money goes to work for what the government employees say our money goes towards.

The war machine is a murder machine, a highly organized one, as Less Camp wrote about recently. The Department of Defense, aka the Pentagon, is the most powerful, secretive and violent organization on the face of the planet.

At least prior to WWII, they called it what it was: the Department of War. Then they want Orwellian and turned it from War to Defense. At least it wasn't full blown Orwellian turn from War to Peace. Maybe if it was though, it would be more obvious that we were being deceived.

As we've found out this past year, the first ever audit was conducted on the Pentagon. The result? $21 trillion unaccounted for. To put that into perspective, let's say you make $40,000 a year, it would take you 525 million years to cover that much.

This money is used for many thing, from constructing buildings to helicopters. It fuels the organized murder machine that drops bombs, blows up buildings, and kills and imprisons countless people each year.

Over the past 5 years, it turns out there have been whistleblowers trying to blow the whistle on the corrupt spending practices. You won't hear the mainstream media talk about the whistleblowers let alone even the $21 trillion that's unaccounted for. The corruption is all pervasive in our modern era of "enlightenment". I think many are too blinded by their reflections in the mirror and selfies to give a shit anyways. They trust government, otherwise the alternative is to accept they are screwing them over.

The Government Accountability Office issued a report last month on the whistleblowers, seemingly being proud that they only violated the confidentiality of 0.01% of all whistelblower cass handled by the Inspector General:

The Department of Defense Inspector General identified 8 substantiated violations of whistleblower confidentiality between fiscal years 2013 and 2018, representing approximately .01 percent of the 95,613 contacts handled by the Inspector General during that time.

What a great job! Right? 0.01% is great! Or is it? What about the rest of the over 95,000 whistleblowing cases? Well, they were simply ignored. 95,000 whistleblowing cases over 5 years, and nothing has come of it. That comes out to an average of one case every 6 minutes for the past 5 years. Each 6 minutes, someone was blowing the whistle, and the people in government don't give a shit to look into further. They just jeep the corruption flowing like a river to feed the mass murder machine.

The amount of whistleblowers isn't so shocking, considering the theft going on. With $21 trillion unaccounted for, spending on buildings, vehicles, parts, pieces, bombs, missiles, manpower and other devices, it seems accurate that the many people involved in government who game across the corruption would speak up about it.

Or maybe it is shocking really, since they are speaking against a trillion dollar monster of a murder machine,t he most powerful in the world. Kudos to them for speaking up! here is one example reported in 2013 by Reuters:

“Linda Woodford spent the last 15 years of her career inserting phony numbers in the Department of Defense’s accounts. … but many mystery numbers remained. For those, Woodford and her colleagues were told by superiors to take “unsubstantiated change actions”—in other words, enter false numbers, commonly called “plugs,” to make the Navy’s totals match the Treasury’s.”

Despite the bravery of these individuals to try to have something change, it doesn't look like anything will. If anyone else would make up numbers and cook the books, they woul dbe committing fraud. But when the mass murder machine, aka the Pentagon, aka the Department of Defense does it well, they are allowed. "National security" and "unsubstantiated change actions" seem to be acceptable to the patriotard masses, rather than see it as stealig their money.

As long as people have comfortable lives, they don't seem to care that 55% of the tax money is being used by government to fund the mass murder machine. They don't know where the money is being spent, and neither do the Pentagon employees for that matter. But who cares, I got my own problems to deal with. As long as the government doesn't bother me much, it's all good. Lie, steal and murder away!

You say ''Of course, it's people in government'' which seems right on the surface. But really its the people who control ''the people in government'' that are the real problem.
We need an extermination of those people very soon

Well, ultimately, it's us pointing the finger at ourselves, because we keep this whole circus afloat and going on :/

I'm shocked yet not at all surprised. I've never considered government to be an ethical organization. It's a political one and one that meets not the needs of the it's population, but their personal interests or the interests of the wealthy and/or Deep State.

Yup, shocking abut not shocking at the same time. Sorta like a double think? :P hehe
