As US federal debt approaches $21 trillion in a matter of months, an eye-popping equivalent amount seems to have gone cumulatively missing from government coffers over the past two decades.
The missing $21 trillion was tabulated by a team of researchers led by Dr. Mark Skidmore, Morris Chair of State and Local Government and Policy at Michigan State University. Skidmore’s team tallied up “undocumentable adjustments” – a euphemism for accounting prestidigitations – at the US Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) between 1998 and 2015. The study was verified by no less authority than Catherine Austin Fitts whose mainstream credentials included a stint in the George H.W. Bush presidential administration.
The most shocking instance of such book-keeping legerdemain, amounting to a colossal $2.3 trillion, was admitted by then Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld on the noteworthy date of Sept 10, 2001. Rumsfeld was very specific in identifying America’s adversary: It was “closer to home”; it was the “Pentagon bureaucracy.”
The Sept 11 terror attacks the very next day, however, consigned these trillions into a black hole of oblivion. Yet, the black hole kept accruing ominous mass over the years; readying itself for an event horizon that may suck in nations, stock markets, livelihoods and lives into a fatal vortex.
Several imponderables remain: Who controls this hidden stash? Has the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) sought closure over this issue? Is the internecine civil war within the US deep state in reality a tussle over this slush fund? Whatever the hypothesis, make no mistake: An “undocumentable” $21 trillion in limbo somewhere can fund revolutions, regime changes and wars anywhere. It can not only fix spot prices for global markets but “spot narratives” in the global mainstream media as well.
It can ensure any “days of rage” planned over US President Donald J. Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel would remain a damp squib until the time emerges to redraw the contours of the Middle East. Once tempers are skillfully stoked towards a Middle East endgame, global markets can be shorted to localize geopolitical attention. The “days of rage” may then be directed at local leaders who will be in desperate need of solutions to keep their regimes and societies intact.
For an added perspective, consider this: Ever wondered how George Soros, with an official net worth of $8 billion, can threaten governments in a way Li Ka-Shing with a net worth of $33.7 billion cannot? In all likelihood, funds channeled into Soros’ transnational “human rights” hydras were never quite his in the first place. An activist billionaire is the perfect shill for deep state and transnational interests.
Such snowballing suspicions must have weighed heavily on the Pentagon. It has finally decided to conduct its first audit in history by raising an army of 2,400 auditors from independent public accounting firms to see where the missing trillions as well as an inexplicable 44,000 US troops had disappeared to. It is rather conveniently late in the day for such an “audit” as the global economic deck seems to be stacked and ready to implode.
Oligarchic Ascendancy
The trillion-dollar drainage from US government agencies has occurred synchronously with the relentless wealth fractionation process worldwide, along with a rise in global socioeconomic volatility. As the chart below shows, a mere 80 individuals had the same amount of wealth as 3.5 billion people in 2014.
This trend is expected to worsen through 2020 and beyond. According to a 2016 McKinsey report, around 540 million young people in 25 advanced nations, including the United States, face the prospect of becoming poorer than their parents.
This brings up an Aristotelian dilemma. The Greek sage had equated a stable society with a strong middle class. Around 2,300 years later, financial whiz kids immersed in Reaganomics claim otherwise. The accrual of wealth among the few, according to the new wisdom, is supposed to generate more investments and jobs. The reality is just the opposite: According to the US-based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), about 10 percent of global GDP has been ploughed into offshore tax havens instead of national treasuries and factories. More ominously, this figure jumps to 15 percent for Europe and up to 60 percent for Gulf Arab and Latin American regions. The hemorrhage of trillions is not just limited to the United States. There are many more trillions available to the transnational oligarchy to reshape the global order.
Furthermore, accelerating technological breakthroughs are already creating a permanent global underclass. Robots alone will displace 800 million workers by 2030. This poses a quandary for highly-populated emerging powers like India where, the richest one per cent own more than 53 per cent of the national wealth. What will India’s unskilled, teeming millions do when factories adopt robots and related Industry 4.0 production paradigms? The “Make in India” initiative must be matched with “Train in India” and “Hire in India” programs. Time is of critical essence here to avoid mass population redundancy.
Echoes from the ’30s
However, what happens when workers worldwide face mass redundancy? Rising global wealth inequality is now seen as a transnational threat, with a 2007 study by the UK Ministry of Defence presciently warning of a coordinated global middle class uprising in the coming years. This anticipated backlash has been attributed to a pervasive decline in mainstream news quality and a countervailing rise in cyber-activism. While debt levels continue to set new records in the West, its media is blissfully peddling red herrings on an unprecedented scale. Google’s decision to de-rank articles from RT and Sputnik is just the latest manifestation of the West’s desperation to control the information matrix.
When the bubbles do burst, as they did during the Great Depression, the global oligarchy would face the collective ire of the masses. There is however a time-tested economic model for this sort of predicament. It is called Fascism. In a post-bubble landscape, the poor and dispossessed will no longer provide a market for mass-market products while factories that produce them will sooner or later go bust. The only ironclad economic engines left revving – as historical patterns reveal – will be the ones focused on policing and militarization.
An Updated NWO
Henry Kissinger had long sensed this imminent déjà vu, and is currently advocating a pre-emptive solution in the form of a “New World Order” based on regionalized power centres. “The contemporary quest for world order,” Kissinger wrote in a 2014 Wall Street Journal essay, “will require a coherent strategy to establish a concept of order within the various regions and to relate these regional orders to one another.”
In a 2012 peer-reviewed paper titled ‘Class Warfare, Anarchy and the Future Society’, the author had reached a similar conclusion – from the opposite end of the Kissingerian worldview. The world would be convulsed by a series of manufactured crises to facilitate an international order governed by regional power centres. The Kissinger solution appears like a plutocratic twist of the Gramscian Political Society; one where repressive state organs would be “counselled” by oligarchs propped by trillions from a transnational treasury. When societies get desperate and breadlines get longer, nationalist leaders would baulk at blocking the charities of the mega-rich. The folks in Kiev are still grateful for Victoria Nuland’s cookies even while their nation regresses into a Third World asylum. Imagine what a $21 trillion cookie jar can accomplish worldwide?
Some regions like South Asia, however, lack the basic infrastructure to impose and integrate inter-regional orders of the kind advocated by Kissinger. This is perhaps a reason why India is being courted with much alacrity by the West. Australia, one of the quadrilateral security partners proposed for India is however staring at a $5.6 trillion housing bubble worth four times its GDP. A nation of 24 million people cannot carry such a burden, unless it can induce a massive destabilizing capital flight from Third World nations.
When that happens, NGOs and social justice warriors worldwide can expect an unexpected bonanza in the opposite direction – in the form of cash and cookies to champion a new order in their hopelessly-impoverished societies!

How about a reset to 0.
Debt from the unFederal reserveless bank is unChristian usury.
The debt is fake debt.
End the Fed and all Zentral banks.
ONEROUS DEBT is not a DEBT but only a FRAUD or a con game never pay this JUNK debt.
Anyone can build an EMP device, attach it to their bicycle and leave it parked by the bank, walk away and flip the switch. Banks are obsolete just like politicians. Now that the gov is broke. We don’t need to obey their stupid unenforceable laws; like income tax for the king and queen of not so great britain.
Stupid big mouthed America thinks it can just print itself worthless money to get out of debt. It is not just 21 trillion but 240 trillion if you add in all the unfunded liabilities. America is entirely bankrupt but Americans like to live in a ridiculous dream world of their own imaginations. 70% of USA is owned by other people and one day they will arrive to collect.
It’s easy to loot a country if the political/law enforcement bribes are good and the penalty for ratting is death.
The missing trillions of dollars also have gone to finance the secret space programs and colonization of our solar system as documented in the book “Inside the Secret Space Programs”. Although Donald Rumsfeld was deeply involved In these secret programs, he failed to mention where the missing money went.
As C.A. Fitts has stated the Constitutional government has the legal “right of offset”. That means we may claim and seize the stolen $21 trillion from those that took it, where ever and whatever it is in –be it corporations, or spaceships, technology, etc. built with the stolen money. That also explains the Secret government’s push to have a Constitutional Convention and eliminate the possibility of us recovering the stolen trillions they now believe is theirs.
The announced first ever audit of the Department of Defense (DOD) isn’t the first at all because it has failed audits back to 1996 -that is where the Inspector General documents came from that revealed $21 trillion unaccounted for. Funny that $21 trillion happens to be about ten times the total budgets for the Pentagon for the two decade period. The article missed the biggest single “gone missing” episode of all: $6.5 trillion unaccounted for at Department of Defense for just fiscal year 2015 alone. The Deep State Black Budget types got very greedy and brazen.
What that means for the elderly and sick who depend on Social Security and Medicare, which will be savaged “because there is no money in the budgets”, depends on whether enough citizens demand the missing money be recovered and put back on the government books to pay for the otherwise broke government promises to ordinary citizens.
Look at the documents which were wisely archived here:

“$21 Trillion dollars is missing from the US government. That
is $65,000 for every person in America. That is more than our entire
national debt!”
Tell us why we pay interest on our own money and who it goes to. Tell us who lends such idiotic amounts and for what reason other than capturing the entire planet under the boot of global banking for wealth, power, access and control. Tell us why has the US been used by the bankers for wars for all but about a dozen years?
Godless masters of usury and their “order out of chaos” are neither Free or Masons but liars who hide in the shadows killing all hope for this planet.
Stephen Hawking stated we have less than 100 years to get off the planet due to a level of stupidity that should never have existed. The destroyers of this world have given us perhaps a few dozen more years due to maximum stupidity of setting of nuclear devices near the exosphere by puppet countries, the US and USSR (brain child of Md. University).
UK, US made the rest of the world a judeo-masonic piece of garbage that is now on it’s death bed. From CRISPR, to “Smart Dust” (Heavy metals) in the skies, all universities, think tanks, war departments, policy makers bow to just a few people who, on paper, own the entire world.
US/Israel did 9/11, UK/Israel did 7/7, towers don’t pulverize themselves and the evidence of moneymen behind the war department, letting the nihilists have their way with the destruction of all creation is without question.
