    Another example of disinfo that keeps getting repeated:

    11) On September 10th, 2001. Rumsfeld reported $2.3 TRILLION missing from the Pentagon. ‘Dov Zakheim’ Pentagon Comptroller. Former VP of ‘Systems Planning Corporation’ (Flight Termination System). Signatore of PNAC document.

    Turns out you can find the transcript of Rumsfeld's speech online, here's what he actually said:

    "The technology revolution has transformed organizations across the private sector, but not ours, not fully, not yet. We are, as they say, tangled in our anchor chain. Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because it's stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible."

    He's talking about $2 trillion that the government can't track because of outdated technology systems, not $2 trillion that someone somehow stole from the Pentagon.

    • Entire U.S. military budget is less than a trillion a year. I think someone would have noticed.ukit2
    • a softer way of seeing we lost it methinks. can you find the transcript where he says we found it?fadein11
    • thats clearly over a few years as well. And trillion is public budget - black budget way more.fadein11
    • He's talking about an auditing issue, not money that was actually stolenukit2
    • Basically a bureaucratic clusterfuck with departments not producing proper documentation of what they spentukit2
