Well, we don\u2019t know where the money\u2019s going \u2014 probably to our politicians who keep supporting the military-industrial complex. So they could be just washing money and sending it back to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>But we wouldn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>This is their fifth-ever audit and they have failed it. They are unable to account for more than half of their assets.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t be upset, guys.<\/p>\n<p>The government has come out and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/11\/16\/dod-fails-audit-cites-ukraine-as-teachable-moment-in-accountability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said that this moment<\/a>, coupled with the war in Ukraine,\u00a0 is being viewed as \u201ca teachable moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I love that it\u2019s a teachable moment. That sounds like something you\u2019d learn in a remedial economics class.<\/p>\n<p>This is a teachable moment, we can be better.<\/p>\n<p>Never mind the Pentagon had 1,600 auditors who combed through the department.<\/p>\n<p>The DOD says $3.5 trillion in assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities.<\/p>\n<p>They <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hEPhJ3iQJ0Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can\u2019t account for 61%<\/a> of those assets but never mind guys! It\u2019s just a teachable moment.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the American people are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dem-senator-suggests-adding-87000-new-irs-agents-will-give-american-taxpayers-better-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allegedly getting more than 80,000 new IRS<\/a> agents to go through every penny you and I spend.<\/p>\n<p>We are going to be held <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/select\/irs-americans-over-the-600-threshold-on-payment-apps-must-report-it\/\">accountable<\/a>\u00a0if we share more than $600 on PayPal. We\u2019ll have to report that to the government.<\/p>\n<p>But, wouldn\u2019t it be wonderful if there was a box when we file our taxes where we could say, \u201cI actually don\u2019t know where that money went, but it\u2019s a teachable moment? I feel like I\u2019m learning from this moment and I can teach myself how to be better in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why do I feel like if we <em>did<\/em> write that in when filing our taxes, we would end up in prison?<\/p>\n<p>This is sort of interesting, because we\u2019re watching. If there is one thing our government is consistent on, it is locking people up for tax fraud. We\u2019ve seen this over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>They make examples out of people for tax evasion and those who can\u2019t account for millions. Meanwhile, the DOD can\u2019t account for trillions.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just a teachable moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know why tax frauds don\u2019t just use that when being put on trial.<\/p>\n<p>It was a teachable moment for us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But more seriously, all of these shenanigans can only go on because we\u2019re being robbed blindly by our own government.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead, our leaders want us to focus on sex, gender, and race issues. The government wants you to be upset and protesting in the street when George Floyd dies at the hands of a police officer, allegedly. They want you to focus on the myth that police officers are hunting down unarmed black men.<\/p>\n<p>They want you to be emotional, but not rational, about all of that so you don\u2019t even question why you\u2019re paying taxes or what that money is going toward.<\/p>\n<p>I think we should not have to pay a single dollar in taxes until the auditors are able to figure out where trillions of dollars may have magically slipped away to.<\/p>\n<p>Again, my perspective on all of this is that democracy is an illusion. It is just an illusion that our government is running the correct way and in order to clean up corruption, all we have to do is get the right guys in there. But when the right guys get in there, they become a part of this.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s happening in Washington D. C. should be considered a criminal enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the people who <em>should<\/em> be serving in government are not.<\/p>\n<p>Our government is filled with crooks.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re essentially just like Wall Street execs and it\u2019s a shame to see. And that should be the number one story everywhere. By the way, trillions of dollars you just stole from the American people again. But you\u2019re not going to see it covered much by legacy media.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the lapdog media is going to focus on something former President Donald Trump said, even though he is out of power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just run headlines of what Trump said and how it can be construed as racist or sexist or misogynist. Don\u2019t worry about the fact that your government has and continues to steal from you.<\/p>\n<p>But hey, it\u2019s a teachable moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re not going to believe today\u2019s story \u2014 except, of course, you are going to believe it.
