I'm so glad to see someone bring up the name of Catherine Austin Fitts, one of the most eminently
qualified individuals, (... "the first woman promoted to be managing director of Dillon, Read & Co. in the firms then 156 year history.") ever to be railroaded out of government service for
her unfailing intelligence, integrity and expertise in the face of a tsunami of corruption building
against Americans then preening before the envy of the world as they watched Dallas on their TV screens. Re. the latter; my own conceits were opposite but in the long term as well, naively ludicrous.
I have to laugh. Despite my recoil, OMG she's a Republican, OMG she's a Bush appointee, OMG
she worked for Dillon, Read, I followed her assiduously. One detail as best I remember; when she came into office at HUD as assistant secretary she requested the accounts, her job obviously. They told her they weren't available, they were handled by another department. That raised the red flag
and after a battle of almost 2 years (?) she acquired them. Other details more immediate to the whole trajectory that so mesmerized me, may have been edited out of her final account for the sake of brevity. Venting, they call it, despite authenticity, if you go into too much detail. She expedites by comparing her saga to the movie Enemy of the People. Not hardly IMO recalling a covertly terrifying destruction of bygone beauty, position and power; an American experience. I prefer the details. I hope Elon Musk will uncover them. They belong to US.
Thanks. At a guess I'd say, yes, they're looking for the paper trails on who were the people who made the J6 stuff happen and the lawfare on the docs. For example, I would imagine there had to have been instructions on using undercover agents and informants at the J6 event, as well as preparing for it. That should all be documented, and that's just one thing.
It seems that they have discovered that if you can get a payment request through the front door treasury is paying it no matter what their internal controls may say. If this is true could it reveal where the pentagon’s missing funds have been going? A lot of people will go to prison if this is true.
Should go to prison. Accountability when it comes to government is and has been a difficult task for years. Why do you think the Ivy law schools teach their aspiring legal eagles the many ways to subvert the law and constitution? So, they can get away with subverting it legally. Obama passed himself off as a constitutional scholar and his main focus was to work around the constitution by his own admission.
“Payment System” my ass! The payment system was simply, “approve ANYTHING that comes across your desk and don’t ask any questions”. Even though anyone with a single functioning brain cell knew that crap like this was SOP, the sheer scale of the defalcation is both breathtaking and infuriating at the same time. Maybe it’s petty of me, but I have absolutely nothing but contempt for these
“non-political” bureaucrats who facilitated this kind of corruption and did nothing to put an end to it.
For my money Musk and company can fire everyone of these lowlifes and let them sue the government to keep their grifters jobs. It’s way past time for these people to realize that they are frickin employees and we are not slaves here to do their bidding.

team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups.
They literally never denied a payment in their entire career.
Not even once."
Watchdogs? There were no watchdogs. Just faceless bureaucrats doing what they were told to do. Is it any wonder why so many are resigning or retiring? Not sure their self-saving act will be enough to ward off the coming investigations into the corrupt cesspool that is the DC federal government.
Is it any wonder they fear Musk and DOGE? He's doing more in a few weeks than a congressional investigation could ever do.
Excellent, thanks. Trump and his circle have spent the last four years doing a lot more than just defending against lawfare. Deep State must be quaking.
OK, contracts are cancelled, that does not necessarily save money. Where do employees go? Fired?
Speaking of 'where do they go" -- where will Rachel Levine end up? And Jake Sullivan? Blinken already has an advance on a book. Operation Paper Clip ---> Operation Post-it Note??
Jack Poso @JackPosobiec
DOGE has taken over the federal govt HR dept (OPM) and cancelled remote access to senior officials
Now they can't even get into the building
Since they were all working from home, all DOGE had to do was walk into the HQ and change their passwords

Seems major Doge getting control of the Gsa, which is a difference from his first administration.

Looks like Trump learned a lot from his first term, figuring out who and how the books were cooked must be making a lot of people nervous.
Can’t argue against efficacy, brilliant!
DOGE is embedded in the fbi, including two ex fbi agents, an aid to Jim Jordan, and a space x employee.
What are they looking for?
What will they probably find?
Imagine if given access to all emails, internal documents, and other communications what’s possible.

Really, the sky's the limit. FBI involvement in Ukraine over the years? Etc. Etc.

Beware.... they leveled wt7 to have the paper trails on a small part of such sums disappear...

I have to believe that Bondi will be extremely busy.
Also Kash.
Let’s hope they run a train on everyone defrauding us

Zerohedge noted this Musk post on his X platform:
"The
@DOGE
team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups.
They literally never denied a payment in their entire career.
Not even once."

The devil is in the details:
> "instructed always to approve payments": instructed by ???
> "even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups": implies BOTH an Approved list AND an Exception list. Audit both and the process of.
> The watchDOGS that don't bark. Deep cavity audit of everyone.
> Let's not forget the banks, the banks that bank the terrorist groups.
> FOLLOW THE MONEY
