$20+ TRILLION the Department of Defense has stolen from American taxpayers. (1/7)

DEAR DOGE (@DOGE): If you really want to "ensure [our] tax dollars will be spent wisely," find the $20+ TRILLION the Department of Defense has stolen from American taxpayers. (1/7)
In this clip from a recent interview with Shannon Joy (@ShannonJoyRadio), investment banker, former HUD official, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the) Catherine Austin Fitts notes that if the incoming Trump administration "really wanted to reform the Deep State," it would start with the $21 trillion of missing taxpayer money; $20+ trillion of which has been stolen by the Department of Defense.
Fitts describes a "financial coup" that began in the U.S. in 1998, when the Deep State began disappearing U.S. taxpayer money from the federal government's coffers.
"In fiscal 1998 HUD was missing $59 billion dollars in the first year. And then by 9/11, the federal government, mostly DOD, was missing approximately $4 trillion dollars," the former HUD official says. "Then, when 9/11 happened, the day before 9/11, [Secretary of Defense under the George Bush administration] Donald Rumsfeld got up and confessed that the DOD was missing $2.3 trillion. And then 9/11 happened, and everybody sort of forgot about the missing money."
