Junkie Nation: $10 TRILLION goes 'missing' from Pentagon since '91

Please, Mr Fed, print some more, I promise I won't ask again!
The lyrics of an old 70's song relate the tragedy of a father with a very destructive and costly habit, 'there's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes.' You could imagine the sorry consequences, repercussions and conditions that such a 'family' had to endure.
However, what is immeasurably worse is a sick and corrupt national leadership that satisfies itself at the expense of citizens and the wealth and welfare of the nation. Pentagon auditors are unable to account for tens of TRILLIONS of dollars in OUR tax-payer funds while we suffer joblessness, foreclosures and the loss of necessary social services -- which cost a fraction of the amount the Pentagon loses annually, and those figures are only from ONE of MANY wasteful government departments.
To accuse the bureaucrats running these departments of incompetence and wastefulness would be the most understated accusation in recorded history and I do not exaggerate!
The level of incompetence and corruption is beyond most peoples' ability to comprehend but we are all feeling the consequences of this OBVIOUS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
Some would recall former Sec. of Defense Rumsfeld making statements in Congress that over $2 TRILLION in the Pentagon budget could not be accounted for! The WORLD was staggered by such INCOMPETENCE and CRIMINAL CORRUPTION! However, the latest reports REVEAL that nothing was done to correct the massive haemorrhaging of tax-payer funds and so the shocking news today is that TENS of Trillions of OUR dollars cannot be accounted for -- and do not for a second imagine this is an accounting error; this is THEFT, pure and simple!
Recall during Rumsfeld's tenure the countless 'palettes' of shrink-wrapped high denomination bills quietly destined for Afghanistan, Iraq and Central Asia to grease the palms of local officials and to feed private military 'contractors,' KBR/Halliburton, Blackwater/Xe and Oil Executives, to name the obvious FEW.
But what does it matter to me, you thought at the time; but you forgot a fundamental principle of economics -- there is no such thing as a FREE LUNCH! Somebody always pays in the end and THEY did or haven't you noticed YOUR standard of living going through the floor, if you are one of the fortunate few that still has a floor to walk on. Or perhaps you haven't noticed the GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, which resulted from the oversupply of global reserve currency printed by the Fed to quietly compensate for the MASSIVE thievery in wars and on Wall Street.
Well, suckers and SLAVES alike, YOUR COMPLACENCY and unspeakable COWARDICE in FAILING TO HOLD THE (known) CRIMINALS TO ACCOUNT has now come home to roost!
If WE the PEOPLE, do not act to jail the KNOWN criminals AND RESTORE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY to our respective nations, the entire GLOBAL economy will SOON go into a tail-spin from which it cannot recover and social CHAOS will ensue. I can ASSURE you that not in your worst nightmare could you imagine what is in store for YOU. But please remember the universal axiom when it is YOUR turn to 'REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN!'
Good luck to corrupt Politicians, Banking and Corporate elites and other criminals/officials in positions of trust! You will ALL be hanging from light poles before you know it -- it's a damn shame your arrogance allowed the publication of your names in the FORBES TOP 400 etc, you 'poor,' dumb cunts. And, as you are no doubt aware, in a total collapse scenario there is NOWHERE TO RUN; the marauding hordes (your former slaves) will locate and dispatch you ALL, they will have no better reason to live!
So, have nice day while you can, OR if you have the mettle, make some very dramatic and BOLD moves to instil confidence back into the community before its too late! [Buckley's and none!]
“… if financial markets are skittish and don't have confidence in a country's fiscal soundness, that is also going to undermine our recovery." President Barack Obama, June 27, 2011 (in a news conference at the conclusion of the Toronto G-20 summit)
“A budget deficit is inflationary if, and only if, it is financed in considerable part by printing money.” Milton Friedman (1912-2006), American economist
"The inflationism of the currency systems of Europe has proceeded to extraordinary lengths. The various belligerent Governments, unable, or too timid or too short-sighted to secure from loans or taxes the resources they required, have printed notes for the balance." John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), British economist, (The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1919)
