US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ANNOUNCES FULL AUDIT
You'll
recall that yesterday I blogged about a story in which the U.S.
Department of Defense was unable to account for about 44,000 people, or
the operational equivalent to about 2-3 divisions, or a corps. And
you'll recall that the reasons for the "lost personnel" were
astonishingly similar to the reasons we've all heard over the years for
all the "missing money," which (so the story goes) boil down to
essentially two things: (1) there is no unified or single system of
record keeping and hence (2) money(or people) fall through the cracks.
To a certain extent, this is understandable and even justifiable: one
doesn't want one's potential enemies to know exactly how big (or small)
one's military is, nor the financial and/or production resources backing
it up. Factories producing tanks above ground can be counted and their
production estimated. Installations below ground are harder to detect
and their purpose and production can largely only be guessed at.
To
put all this "country simple": the very admissions we've seen about
missing money and "unaccounted for personnel" suggest quite strongly
the appearance of a "breakaway civilization", a hypothesis advanced by
well-known UFO/national security researcher Richard Dolan, who first
advanced this idea in his multi-volume UFOs and the National Security State.
His basic thesis is germane to my high octane speculation today, for he
advanced the idea that, over time, with enough money and secret
research, by "unaccounted for" personnel using hidden financing, this
group in effect would pull away from the overt civilization of the
"surface world" by having access to technologies and capabilities far in
advance of it.
Which brings us to this story on the U.S. Department of Defense's website shared by Mr. G.L.R.:
Again,
one can view this call for budget certainty as a national security
issue as well. Certainly while on the one had one doesn't wish to
telegraph to potential enemies the actual strength and disposition of
one's military nor the financial and production resources at its
disposal, on the other hand being totally confused about it doesn't help
either, for it renders accurate operational planning difficult if not
impossible. Something like this concern appears to lurk behind the
article's initial comments:
The audit is massive. It will examine every aspect of the department from personnel to real property to weapons to supplies to bases. Some 2,400 auditors will fan out across the department to conduct it, Pentagon officials said."It is important that the Congress and the American people have confidence in DoD's management of every taxpayer dollar," Norquist said.Audits are necessary to ensure the accuracy of financial information. They also account for property. Officials estimate the department has around $2.4 trillion in assets. "With consistent feedback from auditors, we can focus on improving the processes of our day-to-day work," the comptroller said. "Annual audits also ensure visibility over the quantity and quality of the equipment and supplies our troops use."The DoD Office of the Inspector General hired independent public accounting firms to conduct audits of individual components – the Army, Navy, Air Force, agencies, activities and more – as well as a departmentwide consolidated audit to summarize all results and conclusions."Beginning in 2018, our audits will occur annually, with reports issued Nov. 15," Norquist said.
But
there's a problem here, and with the problem, comes today's "high
octane speculation." Note the hiring of "public accounting firms to
conduct audits" of the individual services and various related agencies.
This, it will be recalled, was precisely the problem encountered by
Congresswoman McKinney years ago: there was no clear picture of which
corporations were running the department's databases in the first place.
Nor, we can imagine, will these firms be given complete access to black
budget matters, and beyond that, they certainly will not even consider
the likelihood of what I have been calling "the hidden system of
finance."
So why the hullabaloo to get a
"complete audit"? One obvious reasons is that it is "swamp politics as
usual," namely, pretend to be doing something in order to shut the
people and Congress up about the utter farce of the federal budgetary
process, and how far afield it is from Constitutional budgetary
procedure.
But there's another possibility, and with it, comes my "high octane speculation." One might hire such firms to get a general picture of where money was being siphoned out of the defense budget and, quite literally, disappearing into a black hole if one suspected that there was a real problem, that that "breakaway group" had metastasized to enormous proportions, and was literally feeding off the host. One
might do it, in other words, if one had come to the conclusion that it
was now so completely "broken away" that it had become a national
security threat of its own, the threat consisting of its enormous
appetite for money. Or as I suggested yesterday, missing trillions and
missing personnel are two symptoms of the same "breakaway civilization"
coin. If this reading of the situation be the case, then this implies
something else, namely, that among all the other signs of deep state
factional infighting we've seen going on lately, that one can add to it
this as well. And that means that this process will have to be
scrutinized very closely. https://gizadeathstar.com/2017/12/us-department-defense-announces-full-audit/
