[ Pentagon buries evidence of $125 billion in bureaucratic waste ]
Black project funding. That’s where I’d hope most of it went.
OTOH, there’s non-essential personnel in D.C.....
Where is the House oversight armed services committee? Let me tell you where these GOPe are — they are counting their damned money from defense contractors . LOOK AT CHAIRMAN THORNBERRY— a case study in BRIBERY!! SHUT THIS CORRUPTION DOWN!!
Agree.
You’re right about Thornberry. He is a weasel who started his political career supposedly representing cotton farmers around Lubbock, TX. They soon realized he was much more interested in representing the crop insurance companies and big wigs in the cotton promotion business instead of the lowly farmers. No doubt he hit the jackpot when he got into the political graft of Pentagon contracts.
How much was for arming al Qaeda?
or for importing al Qaeda?
or for weaponizing al Qaeda?
or for training by the CIA al Qaeda (”rebels”)?
How much?
How much was paid to create ISIS?
and to create the slave markets of children
and women for the citizens of Arizona (McCain’s people)?
I really don't think so. All those new high rise buildings in Tyson's Virginia, Rockville, etc. That's where the money went.
They had to hide Moochelle’s budget somehow.
It cost a lot of money to fund the Arab Spring. Then they had to build up ISIS. That kind of thing isn’t cheap!
I have studied this weasel for about 6 months. Look at this FREEPERS!! https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00006052
This guy is totally corrupt!! He gets 1.7 million in campaign contribution largely from DEFENSE CONTRACTORS!!! and then spends $1.5 million in an uncontested election in WEitchata falls Texas? This guy needs a GRAND JURY!!
Global chaos doesn’t grow on trees.
Time to Drain The Swap. And it’s alot bigger than just the pentagon.
After reading the article, some of the people they call “back-office jobs far from the front lines” are those that deliver bullets to the troops (among other things). The “back-office” works in and around the five sided puzzle palace.
Active Duty ping.
Someone will have their job cut out for him beginning in 2017.
You beat me to it. Trump hates waste and inefficiency.
The thesis is we have extraordinary responsibilites defending the "global commons." We have failed to respond to deter the provocations by Putin in Crimea.
Here is a wonderful piece of bloviating imperial rhetoric: The chief goal of U.S. foreign policy has long been to prevent a hostile state from establishing dominance over a key region—Europe, the western Pacific, or the Persian Gulf—where it could accumulate sufficient power to threaten core U.S. interests.
It goes on and on.
“Black project funding. That’s where I’d hope most of it went.”
Back in the Dark Ages my dad worked in R&D at the Pentagon. The General for whom he worked once wanted to get a black project up and running; but he didn’t have the cash for it, so he asked my dad to go down the hall and ask Gen’l XXXX in another office for some funds.
The discussion went something like this:
Lt Col dad: ‘General Betts wants to know if you will give him $500,000.’
General XXXX: ‘What’s it for?’
Lt Col dad: ‘I can’t tell you. It’s black and you don’t have the clearance.’
General XXXX: (thinks this over for about half a second) ‘Get the hell out of my office.’
which is about exactly what my dad expected to hear. He had no idea why his boss thought that funding scheme was gonna work.
