Pentagon 2

The US Defense Department quietly admitted to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) that has misplaced an additional $2 billion in military funding to Ukraine. Not so coincidentally, the Pentagon also misplaced an alarming $6.2 billion in military funding for Ukraine in June 2023 “due to accounting errors.”

The Pentagon has NEVER ONCE passed an audit. America’s favorite money laundering service is paid for by the taxpayers, who have no say in how the money is spent or laundered, for that matter. Did the money go to contractors? Politicians? Ukraine? The government refuses to say. The latest $2 trillion is a drop in the bucket as the agency has managed to “misplace” TRILLIONS in funds over the years.

Yet, this same agency is always calling on Congress to approve more funding to Ukraine. The president has the ability to allocate funding from US stockpiles to Ukraine under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The Government Accountability Office has said that the Foreign Assistance Act is vague, preventing them from dutifully carrying out an audit. The DoD also approved an additional $150 million in military aid for Ukraine at the beginning of the month. Biden continues to approve funding to these agencies despite the ongoing “accounting errors.”

The government allegedly attempted to audit the Pentagon in 2023, spending $187 million to carry out the investigation through 1,600 auditors. Only 7 of the 29 sub-audits passed, and half of the claimed assets were unrecoverable. It has been a long-known issue that the Pentagon conveniently misplaces money and is never held accountable for its actions that amount to THEFT against the American people.

This is a HUGE SUM OF MONEY that could easily end hunger, homelessness, water shortages, improve education, and fix America’s broken infrastructure. Instead, those at the top approve endless billions to pass through the Pentagon where it mysteriously vanishes. WHY IS NO ONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE? The government is openly permitting the Pentagon to launder money at this point.
