Deep State May Emerge as Greatest Financial Ripoff in World History

 

I'm no economist or even accountant, but it takes no professional training, just a soupçon of common sense, to see what is emerging from the DOGE-led investigations of the US Treasury and USAID.  Yet to come are the Pentagon, the CIA and the FBI, among a host of Beltway others.

The American taxpayer, it is already clear, has been fleeced for decades by this deliberate financial obscurantism at a level beyond comprehension, a significant part of which fits easily under the old category of featherbedding, especially for loyalists of both parties.  When it is finally added up, it will more than justify the title of this article.

 

Government spending transparency has simply not existed in any of our lifetimes, not even remotely.  The legislators themselves have little idea on how money they authorize is ultimately spent.  Most apparently don’t care—at least they act as if they don't—as long as their patrons get their portion of the payout.

FEMA employees fired over ‘egregious’ $59M payment for NYC migrants
 

Four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees have been fired for sending $59 million to New York City to house and care for illegal migrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” DHS officials said in a statement obtained by The Post.

The firings, first reported by Fox, include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people,” the statement added.

The massive payment was blasted by Elon Musk, whose new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, highlighted the transaction on Monday.

FBI Leaker Caught Red-Handed Tipping Off Venezuelan Gang Ahead Of ICE Raid
February 11, 2025
 

An agent inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation was tipping off members of a brutal Venezuelan gang so they could escape capture by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, White House border czar Tom Homan revealed on Monday.

Speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Homan said he and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have very likely identified the culprit, who will not only lose their job, but likely their pension as well. In addition, they may face jail time for obstructing a federal investigation.

“We think it’s coming from inside” the FBI, Homan said about recent leaks to members of Tren de Aragua in Aurora, Colorado and Los Angeles, California, where they have been terrorizing local residents.
