Remember when Donald Rumsfeld admitted $2.3 Trillion was missing from funds on 9/10/2001 Then came 9/11 destruction to all evidence

Remember when CBS reported that Donald Rumsfeld admitted the Pentagon bureaucracy was responsible for $2.3 Trillion in missing funds.

Rumsfeld promised change, that was on September 10, 2001. . .very next day it was all destroyed!

Now let's be clear, this is coming from Deep State leadership, the likes of which President Trump is committed to exposing. This is also leadership in the military, not our good men and women dedicated to serve their country.

A former marine surfaced named, Jim Minnery claimed $300 million was not accounted for at one defense agency.

When Minnery tried to follow the money trail of missing funds and even go across the country looking for missing records, he said the director looked at him and said, "why do you care about this stuff?"

He says it took him aback and his supervisor asked him why he cared about doing a good job.

Minnery was reassigned and he said officials covered up the problem by just writing it off.

He said, "They've got to cover it up, that's where the corruption comes in, they've got to cover up the fact that they can't do the job!"

CBS claimed that the Inspector General substantiated some of Minnery's claims, but didn't admit that financial statements were manipulated

In the 1980's former military analyst for the Pentagon, Frank Chuck Spinney who became famous for what became known as the "Spinney Report", criticizing what he described as the reckless pursuit of costly complex weapon systems by the Pentagon, with disregard to budgetary consequences. Despite attempts by his superiors to bury the controversial report, it eventually was exposed during a United States Senate Budget Committee on Defense hearing, which though scheduled to go unnoticed, made the cover of Time magazine March 7, 1983.

Spinney claims the books are still cooked and the problem had gotten worse.

According to fringemedia.net

fraudulent activity is thought to have cost the U.S.

To the tax payer at least $29 million, but this figure could increase to as much as $100 million as the full scope of the problem is uncovered. The fraud involved the illegal collection of referral fees worth thousands of dollars for each new recruit whose name was put forward. Existing servicemen put the names of family members and friends forward for enlistment. The referral system is both lucrative and costly and during the Iraq war it cost the U.S. government some $300 million for 130,000 new recruits. However the system is also open to exploitation as referral fees were collected for recruits who had already made their minds up they were going to join the military anyway. In some cases military personal failed to inform the civilian recruitment officers of the referral fee scheme and substituted their own bank account details in favor of that of the civilians.

Fraud and Embezzlement within the U.S. Military
Sworn to loyally serve their country and willing to risk their lives in the name of liberty, yet even military personnel can become involved in stealing tax payer’s money for their own selfish gain. In recent years a number of high profile cases have come to light and the evidence could possibly suggest that the problem is widespread. In this article I will cover a number of these cases and then close with a discussion on the poor accountancy practices which have been uncovered at the Pentagon.

At present some 1,200 U.S. military personnel including two generals and dozens of colonels, are under investigation for their part in a nationwide recruitment fraud (BBC News - US Army rocked by Itaq war recruitment fraud scheme). The fraudulent activity is thought to have cost the U.S.

In 2011 and 2013 a total of three U.S. soldiers who were based in Afghanistan were charged for their part in an embezzlement that was worth $1.3 million (Military.com News - Third Soldier Charged in $1M Embezzlement Scheme). The soldiers had worked in a military finance office and had tricked an Afghan based company into transferring the money to their bank account after falsely claiming the company had been overpaid for the military equipment they had supplied. The soldiers had teamed up with an Afghan interpreter who later withdrew some $400,000 of the embezzled money in person which he carried off in a backpack to share out among his colleagues.

In 2013 three former U.S. soldiers with the Special Forces pled guilty to the charge that they had used inside information to profit from military contracts in Afghanistan (The Big Story - 3 former soldiers plead guilty in Army fraud case). It was admitted by a former Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel that he had supplied information on government pricing and on competitors’ bids on contracts totalling $54 million. In the fraud the defendants always bid more, rather than less, than the competitor knowing in advance that the government would refuse the company as unfit to complete the contract. Being absolutely certain of winning the final contract they always bid well above the government estimated price and so had unfairly made money at the expense of the U.S. tax payer. One of the defendants had millions in cash and assets seized by the government which included houses he had purchased in other people’s names in Florida and New Hampshire. Two of the defendants had shared $17 million in proceeds from the contracts between themselves.

As a result of substandard bookkeeping at the Pentagon it is possible that billions of dollars has been defrauded from its budget over the years. It is publically acknowledged that for a 15 year period until 2013 the Pentagon had kept unauditable books and had not complied with federal law in their bookkeeping activities and that the accounts they did keep were largely based upon fictitious numbers (Reuters - Behind the Pentagon's doctored ledgers, a running tally of epic waste). The end result of this is that the $8.5 trillion spent by the U.S. military since 1996 has never actually been properly accounted for. The Pentagon has also admitted that a significant proportion of this money could have gone to waste or was misspent fraudulently. However bad bookkeeping practices at the Pentagon didn’t just apply to the accounts, it equally applied to its actual stores of weaponry, ammunition and essential supplies. For example between 2003 and 2011 it had mislaid some $5.8 billion of military supplies as a result of redistributions which occurred between the regular and reserve units.

An attempt to properly address the issue of poor bookkeeping at the Pentagon was made as far back as 2001 (CBS News - The War on Waste). The then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld raised the issue at an ironically poor moment in time as it happened to be 10th September 2001, the day before the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon itself. What had been a critically important issue as far as U.S. government spending was concerned was largely forgotten in the rush to hunt down the terrorists. On the day of the 10th of September 2001, Rumsfeld publically admitted that, “According to some estimates we cannot track £2.3 trillion in transactions”. Even the Pentagon accountants themselves admitted that 25% of what they had spent couldn’t properly be accounted for.

According to Washington's blog,

Dr. Terrence Leveck, 17 February 2018

On September 10, 2001, then Secretary of the Department of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that for the 1999 DOD budget, “According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.” The War On Waste [was the CBS News report about this, dated 10 September 2001]. The following day the US sustained the terrorist attacks that forever changed our world, and this startling revelation was largely forgotten, until recently.

When a discrepancy occurs in an account that cannot be traced, it is usual to make what is called an undocumentable adjustment, or journal voucher. This is similar to when your balance is off by ten dollars when you reconcile your checkbook, so you add or subtract that amount to make everything balance with the bank. In 1999 the amount the Pentagon adjusted was eight times the DOD budget for that year, and one third greater than the total 1999 United States federal budget.

By 2015 the amount reported by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) had increased to $6.5 trillion for the Army only. [The 31 July 2016 article,] Pentagon’s Sloppy Bookkeeping Means $6.5 Trillion Can’t Pass an Audit[, by] Dr. Mark Skidmore, Professor of Economics at Michigan State University, [indicated that he] thought this made no sense and suspected an error in media reporting. Looking into this issue by using data published on the government’s own websites, he found that $21 trillion in unsupported adjustments have been reported by DOD and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the years 1998-2015. That’s $65,000 for every person in America. Has Our Government Spent $21 Trillion Of Our Money Without Telling Us?

Jim Minnery of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service traveled the country in 2002 looking for records on $300 million. “We know it’s gone. But we don’t know what they spent it on,” he said. He says higher-ups covered up the problem by writing it off, and he was reassigned.

According to a 2013 Reuters report [“Special Report: The Pentagon’s doctored ledgers conceal epic waste”], the Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with a 1996 law [actually a 1992 law that took effect in 1996] that requires annual audits of all government departments. The Pentagon has spent tens of billions of dollars to upgrade to new, more efficient technology in order to become audit-ready. But many of these new systems have failed, either unable to perform all the jobs they were meant to do or scrapped altogether. [That Reuters article says:]

“Linda Woodford spent the last 15 years of her career inserting phony numbers in the U.S. Department of Defense’s accounts. Every month until she retired in 2011, she says, the day came when the Navy would start dumping numbers on the Cleveland, Ohio, office of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the Pentagon’s main accounting agency. Using the data they received, Woodford and her fellow DFAS accountants there set about preparing monthly reports to square the Navy’s books with the U.S. Treasury’s – a balancing-the-checkbook maneuver required of all the military services and other Pentagon agencies. And every month, they encountered the same problem. Numbers were missing. Numbers were clearly wrong. Numbers came with no explanation of how the money had been spent or which congressional appropriation it came from. 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.”

This is also standard operating procedure for the other defense branches. Difficulties included a massive backlog of audits meant to ensure that vendor contracts had been fulfilled.

In a December interview on USAWatchdog (Dr. Mark Skidmore – $21 Trillion Missing from US Federal Budget), an online news outlet run by former CNN and ABC News correspondent Greg Hunter, Dr. Skidmore said he frequently consults for local governments, and undocumentable adjustments, while common, are never more than one percent of the budget. In the case of the Army in 2015, the adjustment was over 50 times their budget for that year.

Of the missing $21 trillion he discovered, $11.5 trillion was for the Army, usually on the expenditure side. But in the 2016 OIG report for 2015, he found a single transfer from the Treasury to the Army of $800 billion when their budget was only $122 billion. The additional $688 billion had not been appropriated by Congress, and the Army doesn’t know what it was spent on.

Skidmore talked with OIG but could never make contact with anyone who had worked on the report. He also talked with the Congressional Budget Office and the General [actually “Government”] Accountability Office. They said if there was a problem there would be Congressional hearings. Donald Rumsfeld did testify before Congress in 2005, but no substantive answers were forthcoming. 2.3 Trillion Dollars Missing from DOD Day before 911 2001 Rumsfeld LIES [A] short time later, Dr. Skidmore discovered that the online links to all the relevant documents he had researched had been disabled. Fortunately he had made copies and they are available at Solari.com. DOD and HUD Missing Money: Supporting Documentation In his Watchdog interview he made a public appeal. “If you have a background in accounting or bookkeeping, please take a look at it. We need your help. Does this make any sense to you? The Federal Reserve is the fiscal agent for the Federal Government. I think if we wanted we could see the flow of resources through the Fed.”

After Dr. Skidmore made the document removals known, they were put back up online in a different location.

To summarize the argument in my two articles: the U.S. military controls American foreign policies, in order to maximize sales-volumes for the corporations that really pay, in retirement, the bulk of the top-brass’s lifetime income; and so those generals — even while being paid by the Government; i.e., on the government-side of the revolving door between ‘public’ service and ‘the private sector’ — are actually mainly salespeople for those private firms, getting contracts for all those unnecessary weapons. How else, for example, could the narrative that’s documented in the 2013 Reuters report, “Special Report: The Pentagon’s doctored ledgers conceal epic waste”, make sense? Those generals were doing what their arms-merchant masters needed to be done in order to puff-up American military spending to become now around half of the entire world’s military spending.

The top 5 U.S. military contractors (Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman) = 32.44% of the total military sales to the U.S. Government.

The top 10 = 40.74% of the total such sales.

So, in order starting at the very largest, here are the top 10 beneficiaries of this system: Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, United Technologies, BAE, L-3, Huntington Ingalls, Humana.

Adding in the next 10, adds only around another 6% to that nearly 33%, and they are, also in order: Bechtel, Unitedhealth, McKesson, Healthnet, Bell-Boeing, SAIC, AmerisourceBergen, Textron, Booz Allen, GE.

UPDATE
Helps understand the secret space program and possibly what happened to that money Donald Rumsfeld said went missing.
