Pentagon "Doesn't know where the money is going."

  1. They probably do know exactly where it went but it is a need to know basis, and we don't need to know in their opinion.

  2. And why exactly is that, besides the fact that so many politicians and insiders reap the rewards from the massive defense contracts and unending global occupation strategy??

    The answer is simple: Should the American people ever become fed up enough to carry out the strategy outlined in the Preamble to The Constitution ("We the people...), the government must posess sufficient power to squash the rebellion immediately. An "Arab Spring" would last about a day in the US, and would be met with a response that would make Kent Sate in the '60's look like a panty raid.

    Hopefully the OWS folks are aware that the limit of tolerance of their activities will be reached quickly should they ever decide to become destructive, or the least bit violent. Politicians talk a great game about freedom of speech when protesters in other nations are treated badly. I am certain the response of the US government would be just as bloody, as there are too many with too much to lose to allow this game to be ended.

    pentagon spent few trillions on DUMB - deep underground military bases.

    in case of a worldwide nuclear war, the elite could hide there.
    in fact, its want they desire.

    90% population reduction.
    after its over, the elite will come out of these bases and breed like rabbits.

    the public does not care.
    even OWS folks dont have any idea where the money is really going, why, who is behind all this.

    That is patently false. The underground labs where schizophrenics have been murdered ascend on a spiral to channel what their last untethered thoughts can perceive. You know it because you have been there.

  5. I think the last officially declared war was Korea. Maybe Vietnam. I'm not a historian. However, that was 50+ years ago. The Executive branch (administration) is acting illegally and without authority.

    Congress can impeach the President for this. I'd suggest sending those 3 questions to all in Congress. Perhaps at least one of those people will remember the Constitution.

  6. I sent the above to the President and my local Congressman. Have you?

    Yes and it is an exciting avenue that will catch them by surprise. The problem is they will identify you by your IP address and there will be a helicopter near your tract housing by 2 AM the following day.

    Pres Reagan wanted to get all the accounting under control. He commissioned a guy to investigate. I heard the guy speak. He said that they uncovered several hundred different systems of accounting and they quit, it was deemed impossible for some reason, to get all the departments to use the same accounting system.

    I'm sure it could be done today. Just give a laptop and some accounting software to everybody that needed it... but likely none of the hundreds of departments and bureaus want to be accountable.

    Funny, they don't have a problem tracking "incoming appropriations." It's just the outgoing they're having difficulty with. Things like this don't happen on accident.
