Remember Donald Rumsfeld's press conference on 9/10/2001, where he announces the missing $2.3 trillion? As of today, there are $21 trillion, $20 trillion between 1998 and 2015 missing from DoD

As of today, there are $21 trillion, $20 trillion between 1998 and 2015 missing from DoD, and $1 trillion from HUD.  Coming into 9/11, we had been working with a reporter in Washington who was writing story after story about the missing money, and we had a huge spread out in "Insight Magazine," the cover story going to all the Congressional and Senate offices talking about what was then $3.3 trillion missing and demanding accountability, including who were the private corporations and banks running all those payment systems.  That Monday, the day before 9/11, Donald Rumsfeld gave a press conference at the DoD and he announced that the DoD was missing $2.3 trillion.  The next day, 9/11 happened.  James Corbett has a wonderful video called "9/11 Trillions: Follow the Money," where he describes how many of the offices that were blown up at the Pentagon and the World Trade Center related to securities and other financial operations very much connected to the money was disappearing.  In fact, we were told that the office at the Pentagon that was blown up, or one of the offices, was the location for the Offices of Naval Intelligences Research Group investigating the missing money.  And so the rest is history.  The PATRIOT Act had passed and then the DoD got huge appropriations and nobody really cared about the missing money.  What we've seen since 9/11 is the amount of money related to undocumentable adjustments, the black budgets and secret books have exploded.  One thing to understand is that it's not just money spent by government.  An increasing percentage of that money is spent by private corporations and banks that are publicly traded on the stock market and are running highly secret and classified governmental operations.  And so, you've got a direct connection or spigot between secret money and people making money in the stock market, and, of course, capital gains in the market in the real estate market, Polly, is the biggest source of capital gains.  

This was interesting: a missing money chronology.
