"So those of you that have done a little bit of research and know what the powers that be are in the process of doing to our economy right now, as I speak, how long do you think this has been happening for? What I didn't realize then was, and I realized shortly thereafter, in October of 1997, that's the beginning of the 1998 fiscal year, huge, enormous amounts of money started disappearing from the US government. And literally by the time of 9-11, there was $4.1 trillion missing from DOD and HUD. And if you remember the day before 9-11, Donald Rumsfeld stood up and basically said, he did a press conference and he said there's $2.3 trillion in undocumented adjustments last year at DOD and we're missing money and it's worse than terrorism. And then of course, I was working with a reporter on a huge story that would have published that Friday after 9-11 about the missing money. We'd been working on it for over a year and she'd done nine stories. I'd helped her do nine stories because we were trying to get the General Accounting Office, now they call it the General Accountability Office, but we were trying to get both Congress and the GAO to do something about it and to try and stop it. And anyway, as you know. Yeah, priorities changed. Right. For reasons that we still don't understand. Oh, I understand. Well, I don't think the average person, the average person I think sort of thinks, well, maybe there were 19 guys from Saudi or something. Well, but here's what I call the Patriot Act, the Control and Concentration of Cash Flow Act. Because one of the things that happened after 9-11, if you look at the history of the black budget and sort of secret financing that the government uses for secret and classified projects, that pot of money had grown and grown and grown and it had become very dysfunctional to try and get that money. Mortgage fraud, I believe, was one of the biggest sources and that's why what I was doing sort of went to the heart of the problem. The Patriot Act and that whole process was very successful at moving a lot more money onto the budget. In other words, it made it much easier to get enormous amounts of money for the national security state as a result of what happened. Now, you know, whenever you do an operation like this, you stack functions, so it's only one of many goals. But it was very successful. Well, it all went right over my head. I thought it was all about Mohammed Adda. I had no idea. So do you think the left and the right are working together to steal from the American people, to suck every resource that we have dry before they pull the rug? You don't think that this current administration would do so?"
