RE: The US Department of Defense somehow misplaced $6.5 trillion in 2015. Were rewarded with budget increases.

in #politics7 years ago

Great post, and just for the record this 6.5 trillion is money that has been slowly going missing since 1986. On Sept 10, 2001 (the day prior to 9/11) Secretary of Defense Donalds Rumsfeld announced that 2.1 trillion was missing from the Pentagon budget, and since that time that number has continued to grow exponentially and is now over 6.5 trillion.

As an important sidenote, the Pentagon budget records were held on a secure server inside the pentagon, which coincidentally was directly impacted and destroyed in the 9/11 attacks (the day after the money was announced missing), and go figure the off-site backup records which conveniently were stored on a secure server in none other then WTC7 in New York were also destroyed in that days attack as well, making it impossible to "track" the missing funds up to that point.

All just "coincidences" I am sure...
