Fraud In Depth

     There are days when I read the news and ask myself “How could they have missed something as obvious as that?” But there are other days when I read the news and ask myself “How could I have missed something as obvious as that?”

     Yes, Gentle Reader: Certified Galactic Intellects have bad days too. Remember that you read it here first.

     Here’s the stimulus:

     We are being regularly told about the stunning abuses of public money in the US by DOGE. Certainly the same thing is true across all COMINTERN countries such as Canada, the UK, Germany, the EU in general, the UN and so on. To make up a representative example, DOGE might reveal that they have discovered two hundred and sixty million dollars earmarked to teach gay turtles how to put on a version of Hamlet as a trans person in Bububu Tanzania. And that fictional example is really a pretty mild exaggeration of the DOGE headlines.
     With zero data points to support the following statement at this point in writing, and going purely on the model in the title, itself informed by a couple of decades, actually a lot more than a couple of decades of observing how nascent communist governments and polities operate, the following hypothesis is presented:
     None or next to none of that money was ever sent to those ‘charities’. In fact they may not exist at all.
     Or if they do, they were created as a beard for which to pretend to send money. In all likelyhood, the idea was to get people outraged about the nature of the recipients of the high amounts of cash and not look any farther.

     After I’d read that, it took less than a tenth of a second for satori to hit. My oh my, how it hit. Remember how we learned that the payments branch of the Treasury was instructed always to pay, never to reject a demand for payment? If all the paymasters needed was an invoice, why would anything be required to stand behind the invoice? But if there’s no real “charity” behind the invoice, where did the money really go?

     Eeyore’s theory is that it was funneled directly into the importation of destroyers:

     In fact, the money was likely used to find the invasion of Western nations by millions of people from Africa, especially the Islamic Maghreb and Islamic nations who are hostile to Jewish and Christian culture, and Greco-Roman Civilization, and intend to work triple shifts to bring it down. In fact, paid to bring it down.

     That’s a trifle strong, especially when one ponders the incentive structure that governs the disbursement of “nobody’s money:” i.e., taxpayers’ money. The more powerful incentive would be to distribute the purloined funds among insiders: legislators, high-ranking appointees, and favored associates. We have all those Congressional millionaires to account for, don’t we?

     Whatever the true destination of the money, we may be certain that it didn’t go to an Article I, Section 8 authorized power of Congress. We may also be certain that were the recipients’ identities to be revealed, the American public would want to see them boiled in oil. But “justice” in the U.S. today cannot be relied upon to produce actual justice. Were that the case, we’d have seen the Epstein and Maxwell client lists by now. We’d also have learned just what the “Pizzagate” discoveries were about. And just maybe, a few Congressmen and Senators would be wearing orange jumpsuits and learning to make license plates.

     Combine this with the autopen scandal currently breaking, and what do we get?

     The core need of a conspiracy that seeks enrichment through graft is to contrive not to be prosecuted for it. In a political system such as ours, that mandates corrupting the prosecutors before all else. What we’ve learned about Justice Department practices in recent months suggests that it’s been corrupted beyond any metaphor to describe. Despite copious evidence of severe wrongdoing by prominent persons with highly placed political allies, they never see the inside of a courtroom. Epstein and Maxwell were sops to Cerberus, nothing more.

     The Trump Administration is plowing through the Justice Department, straining to root out the betrayers of the public trust. While this suggests that there may yet be hope, I’m inclined to say “Let’s wait and see.” The rot is unlikely to be unipartisan. Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment – “Thou shalt speak no ill of a fellow Republican” – is likely to save a few GOP necks from their deserved nooses. That would imply ongoing corruption: a change in the vector’s direction, not zeroing it out.

     Partisans with axes to grind will encourage popular attention to focus on particular aspects of these atrocities, while discouraging attention to others. Misdirections and deflections will be many. They may be too many, and too prolonged, for us to endure. Soon enough, talking heads will be saying that in a government as large as ours, “a few errors” and “a little waste” are “inevitable.” Other talking heads will nod in sage concession to “the realities of life.” Go back to sleep, Mr. Taxpayer. Outrage is tiring, after all.

     But let’s wait and see.
