Voor het 'defensie' budget bedroeg dit bedrag al meer dan 11 biljoen....... En
dan wil Trump dat de andere NAVO partners hun budgetten verder
opschroeven....... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Moet je nagaan: de VS het land dat
graag woorden gebruikt als 'corrupte regering' en 'democratie brengen' als een regime niet
in de smaak valt......
Ongelofelijk!
Vergeet voorts niet dat de VS alleen deze eeuw al 4 illegale oorlogen is gestart, oorlogen die een enorm beslag leggen op hetdefensie uh oorlogsbudget...... De VS geeft alleen al 4 keer zoveel aan defensie uit dan Rusland en China samen! De NAVO lidstaten Groot-Brittannië, Frankrijk, Duitsland en Italië geven al meer dan 3 keer zoveel uit aan defensie dan Rusland....... En maar zeiken om meer geld en dat om de ongebreidelde terreur van de VS en het uitlokken van oorlogen elders te steunen.........
Overigens heeft Trump het leger 'carte blanche' gegeven om naar eigen goeddunken extra personeel of wapens in te zetten, zodat controle op de uitgegeven gelden nog veel moeilijker zal worden.......

$21
trillion missing from the federal buget
WHERE DID IT GO?
FEDERAL BLACK BUDGETS
Professor
Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University set out to prove Catherine
Austin Fitts and her claims of “missing trillions” and “black
budgets” was wrong.
Instead,
he discovered the hole was even bigger than that.
The
Army alone had $11.5 trillion missing.
Some
individual unsupported journal adjustments are SIX TIMES the total
annual budget of the Army.
A
overall 1% error in government budgets is considered “normal.”
Theese
numbers are astronomical.
How
can you do a proper evaluation of numbers with figures like this? All
spending needs to be a approved by Congress.
“It
looks like there’s a whole lot of money flowing in and a whole lot
of money flowing out”…completely outside the rule of law.
===========================Hier nog een artikel van Forbes over deze zaak:
Has Our Government Spent $21 Trillion Of Our Money Without Telling Us?
I
am co-authoring this column with Mark Skidmore, a Professor of
Economics at Michigan State University.
“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.” ~
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7, The US Constitution
On
July 26, 2016, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) issued a
report “Army General Fund Adjustments Not Adequately Documented or
Supported”. The report indicates that for fiscal year 2015
the Army failed to provide adequate support for $6.5 trillion in
journal voucher adjustments. According to
the GAO's Comptroller General, "Journal vouchers are
summary-level accounting adjustments made when balances between
systems cannot be reconciled. Often these journal vouchers are
unsupported, meaning they lack supporting documentation to justify
the adjustment or are not tied to specific accounting
transactions…. For an auditor, journal
vouchers are a red flag for
transactions not being captured, reported, or summarized correctly."
(Note,
after Mark Skidmore began inquiring about OIG-reported
unsubstantiated adjustments, the OIG's webpage, which
documented, albeit in a highly incomplete manner, these unsupported
"accounting adjustments," was mysteriously taken
down. Fortunately, Mark copied the July 2016 report and all other
relevant OIG-reports in advance and reposted them here.
Mark has repeatedly tried to contact Lorin Venable, Assistant
Inspector General at the Office of the Inspector General. He
has emailed, phoned, and used LinkedIn to ask Ms. Venable about OIG's
disclosure of unsubstantiated adjustments, but she has not
responded.)
Given
that the entire Army budget in fiscal year 2015 was $120 billion,
unsupported adjustments were 54 times the level of spending
authorized by Congress. The July 2016 report indicates that
unsupported adjustments are the result of the Defense Department's
"failure to correct system deficiencies." The result,
according to the report, is that data used to prepare the year-end
financial statements were unreliable and lacked an adequate audit
trail. The report indicates that just 170 transactions accounted for
$2.1 trillion in year—end unsupported adjustments. No
information is given about these 170 transactions. In addition
many thousands of transactions with unsubstantiated adjustments
were, according to the report, removed by the Army.
There
is no explanation concerning why they were removed nor their
magnitude. The July 2016 report states, "In addition, DFAS
(Defense Finance and Accounting Service) Indianapolis personnel did
not document or support why DDRS (The Defense Department Reporting
System) removed at least 16,513 of 1.3 million feeder file records
during the Third Quarter."
An
appendix to the July 2016 report shows $2 trillion in changes to the
Army General Fund balance sheet due to unsupported adjustments. On
the asset side, there is $794 billion increase in the Army's Fund
Balance with the U.S. Treasury. There is also an increase of
$929 billion in the Army's Accounts Payable. This information raises
additional major questions. First, what is the source of the
additional $794 billion in the Army's Fund Balance? This adjustment
represents more than six times appropriated spending.
Second,
do these transfers represent a flow of funds to the Army beyond those
authorized by Congress? Third, were these funds authorized and if so
when and by whom? Fourth, what is the source of these funds? Finally,
the $929 billion in Accounts Payable appears to represent an amount
owed for items or services purchased on credit. What entities have
received or will receive payment?
The
July 2016 report is not the only such report of unsubstantiated
adjustments. Mark Skidmore and Catherine Austin Fitts, former
Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, conducted
a search of government websites and found similar reports dating back
to 1998. While the documents are incomplete, original
government sources indicate $21
trillion in
unsupported adjustments have been reported for the Department of
Defense and the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the
years 1998-2015.
While
government budgets can be complex, our government, like any business,
can track receipts and payments and share this information in ways
that can be understood by the public. The ongoing occurrence
and gargantuan nature of unsupported, i.e., undocumented, U.S.
federal government expenditures as well as sources of funding for
these expenditures should be a great concern to all tax payers.
Taken
together these reports point to a failure to comply with basic
Constitutional and legislative requirements for spending and
disclosure. We urge the House and Senate Budget Committee to initiate
immediate investigations of unaccounted federal expenditures as well
as the source of their payment.
PS,
On December 11, 2017 we learned that the key documents had been
reposted on the OIG website, but with different URLs. On October 5,
2017 we discovered that the link to the report “Army General Fund
Adjustments Not Adequately Documented or Supported” had been
disabled. Within a several days, the links to other OIG documents we
identified in our search were also disabled. The sequential
non-random nature of this disabling process suggests a purposeful
decision on the part of OIG to make key documents unavailable to the
public via the website, as opposed to website reorganization, etc. We
also revisited the website intermittently to see whether the
documents had been reposted under different URLs—until very
recently they had not been reposted. The OIG link to the most report
“Army General Fund Adjustments Not Adequately Documented or
Supported”, which indicates $6.5 trillion in unsupported
adjustments, can now be found here:
We are currently searching the OIG website for the other reports and
will share the links here once
we have completed the search.
..........nogmaals: ongelofelijk!!!
