The United States Department of Defense has failed yet another audit, it’s fifth-ever for the record, unable to account for more than half of their assets, though the DOD believes they can use this as a “teachable moment.”
Though never real reaching the headlines, two weeks ago Pentagon Comptroller Mike McCord revealed to the press that after over 1,600 auditors foraged through the DOD’s $3.5 trillion in assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities, officials found that the Department could not account of 61% of their assets.
The DOD listed in their annual Financial Report,
The Department completed its fifth annual consolidated financial statement audit covering approximately $3.5 trillion of the Department’s total assets, involved approximately 1,600 auditors, and included nearly 970 site visits (virtual and in-person).
The audit comprised 27 standalone audits conducted by independent public accountants (IPAs) and a consolidated Agencywide audit performed by the Office of Inspector General of the DoD (DoD OIG).
The DoD OIG issued a disclaimer of opinion on the Department’s FY 2022 consolidated financial statements, meaning it was unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base an opinion.
The Department’s leadership fully expected these results, as receiving a disclaimer of opinion is consistent with the experiences of other large and complex federal agencies during their initial years under audit.
McCord told reporters the department has made progress toward a “clean” audit in the past year, but later added “we failed to get an ‘A.’”
I would not say that we flunked. The process is important for us to do, and it is making us get better. It is not making us get better as fast as we want.
He also said that the war with Ukraine and Russia has ‘taught’ the DOD “a very teachable moment for us on the audit,” as concerning the precision monitoring of weapons and equipment in combat.
That’s to me a really great example of why it matters to get this sort of thing right — of counting inventory, knowing where it is and knowing when it is [arriving].
I’ve asked our people to imagine that was our folks, our men and women in uniform, who were up against it.
McCord added
The Hill, one of the few mainstream publications covering this, added: “In December 2017, defense officials set out to scrutinize DOD’s books, the first comprehensive audit of the agency in its history. That effort failed the next year, and the four that followed.”
‘What they found were several new weaknesses in how DOD accounted for its assets, which include nearly 2.9 million military personnel; equipment and weapons including 19,700 aircraft and more than 290 ships; and physical items including buildings, roads and fences on 4,860 sites worldwide,’ The Hill added.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
For those that know the deeper history behind the events that transpired on September 11th, 2001, one day prior, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made the startling revelation that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3 trillion in spending. Then on 9/11, one of the “planes” that struck the Pentagon – that was obviously some sort of a missile that hit the building – “just so happened” to be where their records were kept. They of course were destroyed during the explosion, so we assume…
Rumsfeld, being the Jesuit-trained goon that he is, loved to talk in archaic tongues and rhymes, like all good Jesuit trained in sophistry.
But what is crazier is that the Pentagon cannot account for well-over twice the percentage of assets spent in 2001 compared to this year’s 61 percent!
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
Psalm 68:30
The business of America is war, whether by starting ones or meddling in everyone else’s; and the Pentagon and Washington’s District of Criminals is spending so much on war toys they cannot account for it tell you where it goes, what was actually spent, and what it was actually spent on.
Even though the DOD has failed their fifth audit now, one must not forget the parallels of 9/11. Therefore, do not be surprised if a false flag is enacted to justify America truly entering a new war, with Russia and China being too likely candidates…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The reason they cannot seem to account for all their assets is that they have been given to the “enemy du jour” to be eventually used against us, as was surplus WWII armaments given to China to be used against US troops by IndoChina in that “police action” of the 1960s-1970s. It’s just one Jesuit-backed country doing business with another Jesuit-backed country warring and killing American “heretics” pursuant to their Council of Trent, which the Vatican has never rescinded. Ruckman figured it out and called Vietnam a war of religious prejudice. And yes, the way the US government destroys records these days is to just bomb the entire building where those records are kept…whether it was the Murraugh Building in Oklahoma, the Pentagon, Building #7 at the World Trade Center, and perhaps the recent Florida apartment collapse a year or two ago that was news one day and non-news soon after. I was just talking with someone about that recently……no more messy Watergate break-ins and pesky journalists asking a lot of questions for those goons. They just bomb the entire building and could care less about any “collateral damage”.
