I’m sure it’ll turn up. Maybe on Zelensky’s super-yacht.

--- "Trillions of Dollars ‘Missing’...."

Incorrect. Some know full well where the money went, while most don't. Corruption and ineptitude are having a party on the world's largest credit card, and will continue to stick the nation with the bill until a true political rebellion, fiscal collapse, or both will force re-calibration.

Trillions missing? Check the Dung Beetle Party’s accounts. That’s where it’s at. Thieving communist pigs.

Everybody says this is a “crazy conspiracy theory”—but everybody may be wrong:

The fact that we read a headline like this and there are no arrests or the smell of hot tar at the Pentagon tells you all you need to know about the deep state.

Nothing to get excited about - they are probably just building a new base on some moon somewhere. The Black World and its projects are expensive.

Thank you for referencing that article Jan_Sobieski.

"REPORT: The Pentagon Just Failed its Sixth Straight Audit – Trillions of Dollars ‘Missing’"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Congress, especially the "power of the purse" House, is fully constitutionally responsible for the missing taxpayer trillions imo.

"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphasis added]."

So Democratic and Republican Trump-supporters need to remedy "Pentagon" taxpayer dollar mismanagement by primarying ALL House members, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan (and others?) in 2024 since popularly elected representatives evidently do not take their constitutionally enumerated responsibilities seriously.

Incumbent senators up for reelection who voted to pass unconstitutional, unaccountable spending bills need to go too.

Finally, consider that probably the main reason that we hear political party and media complaints about the electoral college is that it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

It appears the Pentagon senate congress and Biden are in a 4 way race for who can make the most bucks everybody gets a whack at it.

Taxpayers keep ankles warm with hands.

A lot of that money gets spent on black projects.

This simply can not happen with a monetary system tied to assets government can’t print, like gold or bitcoin.

Wokeism doesn’t happen either, nor do 1000 progressive social engineering schemes.
