25 years ago today Donald Rumsfeld went before the American people and told them that the Pentagon had just lost 2.3 trillion dollars. The very next day a "plane" hit the E ring and D ring of the Pentagon, where the Army's financial/accounting offices were.

Never forget.

You know, now we talk about trillions of dollars. Our debt is at 40 trillion, or something obscene, but back then 2.3 trillion dollars sounded like something frickin made up. The number was astronomically ridiculous. Just frickin gone. Poof. We don't know where it went.

Now ya know. But then again, when did they know Rumsfield was going to give that speech on September 10 and everyone knows the importance of the date September 11 to ancient Islamic history!!

It is a mystery.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If money is lost but a few people know where it is, is it lost?

How do you think all these politicians are always the richest people in every town.

No matter how many times that lunacy is repeated, doesn’t make it true. Were the hundreds of families who were devastated also involved? Twin Towers controlled demolition? Phone calls faked? Were the call centers also involved? Did the fire not get hot enough to forge steel? What other lunacy do you believe? Bigfoot? Aliens?

In cash or valuables.

This is what a trillion in cash looks like.


That would be almost an entire city block of cash in a vault in 100 dollar bills.

Now I'm no conspiracy-theory maven, but Rumsfeld was an evil, scumball creep and it wouldn't shock me if it's found out that he coordinated that crash-- maybe even the whole 9-11 event.

Unreal. I had never even heard the world "trillion" used in terms of money before 2009, during the recovery after the Great Recession. This is serious

Is the location of the money a known known, a known unknown, or an unknown unknown.

That’s the real question.

What is it that you claim is not true? The part about the missing 2.3 trillion dollars or the part about the "plane" hitting the accounting offices of the Pentagon? Because they're both absolutely true, you fricking idiot.

The news was out a year and a half before Rumsfeld made that announcement.

Not that it matters.

Now we're losing $2 trillion a year and neo cons are back in control of the government.
