TAXPAYER COST OF NATIONAL SECURITY

WHAT'S NATIONAL SECURITY WORTH TO YOU?
HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY TO BE "SECURE"?


IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR ANSWER IS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL CURRENTLY PAYING FOR THAT FALSE SECURITY TO THE TUNE OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY DAY, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY HOUR!

THIS COULD BE SUBTITLED "AMERICA'S TOP SECRET: WHAT MILITARY FORCES SPEND ON 'NATIONAL INSECURITY' ".

AND PEOPLE WONDER WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN ECONOMY...WAR... 'NATIONAL SECURITY'...THAT'S WHAT'S BANKRUPTING US ALL!

YOU CAN GO HAVE A LOOK FOR YOURSELVES <CLICK HERE> , SEE THE DOLLARS TICK BY AT WARP SPEED AS OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDS, SPENDS, SPENDS FOR OUR "NATIONAL SECURITY".

YOU DON'T GET A SAY-SO IN THIS AS CONGRESS ALLOCATES FUNDS, AND CONGRESS IS DAMNED WELL NOT LISTENING TO THOSE WHO VOTE FOR THEM!

IMAGINE THE CONTRACTORS, THE GOVERNMENT-LINKED BUSINESSES IT TAKES TO FUEL ALL THIS SPENDING!
WALL STREET SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO SEE THESE NUMBERS!

I AM NOT!

Last Updated: May 28, 2015
THESE FIGURES ARE CURRENT FOR 2015...NOW!

THE FIGURES ARE FOR EVERY HOUR, WHAT WE TAX PAYERS MUST COUGH-UP EVERY HOUR TO HAVE "NATIONAL SECURITY", BUT THESE FIGURES STILL DON'T ACCOUNT FOR ALL WE SPEND, AND THESE NUMBERS ARE JUST WHAT'S REPORTED, WHAT ANY OF US COULD GO FIND FOR OURSELVES...NOT WHAT'S HIDDEN BECAUSE OF "NATIONAL SECURITY"...NOT THE "TOP SECRET" EXPENDITURES THAT WE MAY NEVER KNOW ABOUT.

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$615,482 for Cost of Military Action Against ISIS.

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$3.42 million for Cost of Pentagon Slush Fund.
[SEE BELOW ** FOR THE REALITY OF THE "SLUSH FUND".] 

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$4 million for Cost of War in Afghanistan.

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$117,035 for Cost of War in Iraq.

BUT THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING COSTS!

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$57.68 million for Department of Defense in 2015.

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$939,269 for F-35 Joint Strike Fighter in 2015.

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$2.2 million for Nuclear Weapons in 2015.

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$116,381 for Predator and Reaper Drones in 2015.

AND THEN THERE ARE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL COSTS!

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$1.42 million for Foreign Military Assistance in 2015.

EVERY HOUR, taxpayers in the United States are paying
$6.74 million for Homeland Security... Since 9/11.

EVERY HOUR, federal taxpayers in the United States pay
$2.93 million toward Foreign Aid in 2015.

NONE OF THOSE FIGURES ADDRESS THE ESCALATED MILITARIZATION OF OUR POLICE FORCE IN AMERICA AND HOW CONGRESS IS ALLOWING SPENDING FOR THAT.

IT DOESN'T ADDRESS BUYING OF AMMUNITION BY NONE OTHER THAN THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE!

NOR THE PURCHASE OF AR-15s AND AMMO BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE!

DID YOU MISS THIS PURCHASE?
"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has ordered 46,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition. "

NOAA NEEDS HOLLOW-POINT AMMO?
WHY?


DOMESTIC AGENCIES BOUGHT MORE AMMO THAN WE USED IN THE MIDDLE EAST!
"In the war in Iraq, our military forces expended approximately 70 million rounds per year. In March DHS ordered 750 million rounds of hollow point ammunition. It then turned around and ordered an additional 750 million rounds of miscellaneous bullets including some that are capable of penetrating walls."

THE FEDERAL RESERVE, WHICH IS NOT, REPEAT NOT A FEDERAL AGENCY, HAS ITS OWN POLICE FORCE.
WHY?
FOR "NATIONAL SECURITY"?


DID THEY COUNT ALL THOSE LITTLE "EXTRAS" IN THE COST OF "NATIONAL SECURITY"?
NO!


** ABOUT THAT PENTAGON "SLUSH FUND"...

LAST MONTH the House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act, suggesting spending levels for the Pentagon for the coming fiscal year. 

The NDAA authorized $499 billion in "REGULAR" spending for the Pentagon. 
On top of that, the bill authorized $90 billion for the Pentagon slush fund known as Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). 

The OCO slush fund was originally designed to fund the undeclared "wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it is now being used to help the Pentagon break existing spending caps.

Nearly $40 billion of the proposed $90 billion in OCO funding for fiscal year 2016 has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with ANY current conflict!  

You might assume that the increase is needed to take care of NEW threats, maybe like from the Islamic State (ISIS).
WRONG!
Only about $5 billion of that total will be spent on "the fight against ISIS". 

SO WHY DOES THE PENTAGON NEED $90 BILLION FOR ITS "OCO FUNDING"?
WHERE IS ALL THAT MONEY REALLY GOING?
WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO KNOW!
MATTERS OF NATIONAL SECURITY ARE KEPT SECRET...FROM THOSE OF US PAYING FOR NATIONAL SECURITY!

WHY CAN'T THE PENTAGON LIVE WITHIN ITS "REGULAR" ALLOCATION OF FUNDS, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE'RE "WINDING DOWN IN AFGHANISTAN"?


WHY WON'T THE PENTAGON ACCEPT THE CAPS ON ITS SPENDING? 

WHY DOESN'T CONGRESS JUST ENFORCE THOSE CAPS LIKE IT DOES FOR EVERY OTHER "DEPARTMENT"?

WHY GIVE THE PENTAGON A $90 BILLION "CUSHION" WHEN CONGRESS IS CUTTING EDUCATION, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICAID, INFRASTRUCTURE, VETERANS BENEFITS, AID TO FAMILIES WITH DEPENDENT CHILDREN AND UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS FOR OUT=OF-WORK CITIZENS TO THE BONE?

WHY DO ALL OTHER DEPARTMENTS GET CUTS EXCEPT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE... THE HIGHLY FAVORED PENTAGON?


WHO'S REALLY RUNNING AMERICA?


Senator Daniel Inouye said in 1987:

"There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself." 

EISENHOWER, WILSON, JFK ALL SAID THE SAME THING...THE SAME THING!


HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THIS:


"Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is a private army at the command of the President, and him only. And they conduct military and spy missions all over the world, never receiving formal congressional approval."

“Without the knowledge of the American public,” wrote Nick Turse back in August, “a secret force within the U.S. military is undertaking operations in a majority of the world’s countries. This new Pentagon power elite is waging a global war whose size and scope has never been revealed.”

 According to a recent Congressional Research Service report, JSOC forces “reportedly conduct highly sensitive combat and supporting operations against terrorists on a worldwide basis.” 

FINAL QUESTION...
WHY AREN'T WE, THE PEOPLE DEMANDING ANSWERS AND LETTING OUR ELECTED WHORES KNOW WE'RE SICK OF PAYING FOR FALSE SECURITY? 

OUR "NATIONAL SECURITY" SEEMS TO INVOLVE AMERICA HAVING MILITARY FORCES IN ALMOST EVERY NATION ON EARTH AND A DOMESTIC POLICE FORCE THAT IS ARMED TO DOMINATE LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS, SHOULD WE BECOME "CIVILLY DISOBEDIENT". 

SHOULD WE DECIDE WE'VE HAD ENOUGH, OUR LOCAL POLICE CAN CHANGE OUR MINDS PRONTO!

REMEMBER 'OCCUPY WALL STREET'?
THAT WAS A DRESS REHEARSAL FOR THOSE SWORN TO "PROTECT AND SERVE".

NONE OF THAT WILD SPENDING LISTED ABOVE HAS SECURED ONE DAMNED THING HERE INSIDE OUR OWN BORDERS. 

THE FORCES WE NEED FOR 'SECURITY' ARE ALL OVERSEAS!

THE BEST NATIONAL SECURITY IS A WELL-ARMED POPULACE DEDICATED TO AND CAPABLE OF SECURING THINGS LOCALLY, IN EVERY TOWN IN AMERICA. 

SUCH A NATIONAL SECURITY HAS WORKED PERFECTLY WELL FOR SWITZERLAND FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, AS I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE.

THE FOUNDING FATHERS KNEW THIS.


UNFORTUNATELY, SO DO THOSE WHO FEAR AN ARMED CITIZENRY.
