IN BRIEF
·
The Facts:
Multiple investigations and
testimony from high ranking sources have discovered that trillions of dollars
of our tax dollars are going towards programs that not even the highest ranking
people within government know about.

Reflect
On:
Why are we made to believe our taxes dollars are going towards
necessary services that favour the population? Why do we so easily trust our
government and take their word for it when evidence says otherwise.
It’s amazing how much money is scraped off of each paycheque, and
how much money multiple small and big businesses pay. We are told that it’s
necessary, that this is the money going towards various programs that are
responsible for building our schools, employing people for necessary services
and infrastructure, among many other things. It’s truly amazing how much money
governments rake in from taxes.
It’s an astronomical amount that makes it hard to see how all of
the money is allocated to services that are in the people’s favour, instead of
the possibility of it going into the pockets of certain politicians and
elitists, among other places. Yet we are heavily taxed, and reasons for
taxation are constantly brought up and justified, almost as if to imply that
there really is no other way of changing things and doing things differently
here on planet Earth. Our potential is huge, yet we are convinced that money
and taxation are our only ways to operate.
Sure, some of our taxes are going toward various needs and
services we deem necessary, but how much off of our paycheques is really
required for this? Judging by the amount of money that has been poured into
black budget programs, it doesn’t seem like much is needed at all, and this is
because trillions upon trillions of our tax dollars are actually going towards
projects that the public has absolutely no idea about.
These
projects are known as ‘black budget programs,’ which include Special
Access Programs (SAPs). Within these we have unacknowledged and waived
SAPs. These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are
better known as ‘deep black programs.’ A 1997 US Senate report described
them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements
to the Congress.”
Not many
people have investigated the black budget world, but The Washington Post
revealed that the “black-budget” documents indicate that a staggering
52.6 billion dollars was set aside for operations in fiscal year 2013.(source) More recent
investigations, however, reveal a lot more than that. The topic was
discussed in 2010 by Washington Post journalists Dana Priest and William Arkin.
Their investigation lasted approximately two years and concluded that America’s
classified world has:
Become so large, so
unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many
people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many
agencies do the same work. (source)
Recently, Arkin quit
NBC/MSNBC and went public outing them as completely fake government run
agencies. You can read more about that here. Here is another
article we published that has links within it to documents showing the close
relationship between mainstream media, academia, and the CIA.
The most recent investigation was conducted by economist and
Michigan State professor Mark Skidmore, alongside some of his graduate students
as well as Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing
and Urban Development. They discovered trillions of unaccounted for
dollars missing from the Department of Housing & Urban Development as well
as the Department of Defense. For their research, the team used several
government websites and made inquiries to multiple U.S. agencies. Much of the
time they received no response and the Office of the Inspector General
even disabled links to all key documents that revealed unsupported spending,
according to the team.
Given
the Army’s $122 billion budget, that meant unsupported adjustments were 54
times spending authorized by Congress. Typically, such
adjustments in public budgets are only a small fraction of authorized spending…
Skidmore thought Fitts had made a mistake. “Maybe she meant $6.5 billion and
not $6.5 trillion,” he said. “So I found the report myself and sure enough it
was $6.5 trillion.” – Michigan State News.
They went on to find
documents indicating a total of $20 trillion worth of undocumented
adjustments made from 1998 t0 2015. Our tax dollars are going
directly into these black budget programs, which often cost far more than
our roads and services. If this information was made transparent and public for
discovery and use, it would leap all of humanity into the stars and into new
discovery and exploration. The implications would be huge, and it would force
us to ask more questions.
