Treasury Department pays $100 billion annually to unidentified individuals

Musk claims US Treasury annually pays $100 bln to unidentified individuals

He noted that the DOGE team and the US Department of the Treasury had agreed to require “that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits”

“Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious,” he wrote on his page on the X social network.

WASHINGTON, February 9. /TASS/. Entrepreneur Elon Musk who is in charge of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said that the US Department of the Treasury has been paying out $100 billion to unidentified individuals annually.

“Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious,” he wrote on his page on the X social network.

“When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately,” Musk emphasized.

That said, he noted that the DOGE team and the US Department of the Treasury had agreed to require “that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits.” Additionally, “all payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field.” Musk also noted that the Department of the Treasury will maintain and regularly update a list including “entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations.”.

Tulsi Gabbard / Michael Savage interview

Writes Gail Appel:

Hi Lew,

I just watched a stupendous interview of Tulsi by Michael Savage on NewsMax. He was one of her most vocal supporters.

When he asked what drove her to come out publicly and vehemently against the Democrat Party, she immediately expressed dismay with the dissolution of civil liberties, deep rooted corruption and waking up to the fact that the party was fraudulent and the realization was devastating. To which Savage responded with explosive laughter. Because Savage, formerly a leftist, found out long ago he’d been sucker punched.  Adding they are in no way remotely liberal in the classical sense .

He went on to say she was the true definition of a patriot who put country over special interests and self , unlike both parties, particularly the Republicans echoing “ America First” and the moment they’re out of earshot, working with the Dems to sabotage everything Trump attempted to implement, everything the American people voted for and dragged their asses over the finish line with.

They discussed the wars and interventions that have been tremendously destructive in destabilizing the globe and America’s national security, productivity and sacrificed our youth.  They also discussed her religious beliefs and tenets, Hawaii’s history, her family . It was beautiful.

The interview ended with Savage expressing his desire to inaugurate “ President Gabbard” in the very near future. I wholly agree. She’s the real thing.

Ergo both parties hate her as much as they do Trump, Elon, RFK Jr , Kash Patel , Ric Grenell and Jay Bhattacharaya. Because “We The People” have awakened, know what we want and it’s not what we’ve been forced to accept. The Only duplicitous, corrupt duopolous blob.

DoD Lacks Business Systems To lPass an Audit

Writes Ginny Garner:

Lew,

“DoD doesn’t have the backbone business systems that collect data in a way that can allow you to pass an audit.” – Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks to activist and comedian Jon Stewart. This admission starts with Stewart’s question at 36:00 in this video

The event was sponsored by a non profit called The War Horse which Stewart represented as unbiased but a quick look at their web site and financials indicate they are left leaning. Link:

El Salvador Sends Officers to Combat Gang Violence in Haiti

Writes Gail Appel:

Haiti’s interim President is welcoming officers from El Salvador and Guatemala to combat gang violence.

The American left is welcoming violent gangs and combating American officers tasked with deporting them.

Somehow, this makes sense. Can’t wait for the screaming and accusations of racism targeting the lily white Salvadoran and Guatemalan officers.

The truth about Catholic Relief Services: It is not merely a non-profit that helps the poor

Trump on When US Would Become More Violent in Takeover of Gaza

Writes Ginny Garner:

Lew,

President Trump said the US would become “somewhat more violent” if Hamas reneges on its agreement to release all hostages it seized on Oct. 7, 2023. 

“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent, in a really magnificent area that nobody would know,” says Trump.

TASS – Russian MFA slams US double standards in context of USAID activities

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova highlighted reports indicating that USAID allocated millions of dollars for transgender operations on rodents

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has commented on the double standards of the United States regarding animal protection in light of USAID activities. She highlighted reports indicating that USAID allocated millions of dollars for transgender operations on rodents.

“Question: Why was there a need for all this American rhetoric about animal protection and labels on products, such as ‘No guinea pigs were harmed,’ if taxpayer money was used for genital transplant surgeries on mice and monitoring their ‘fertility’?” Zakharova said on her Telegram channel.

“I wouldn’t be surprised, if it turns out that USAID also funded a transgender opera for animals,” she added.

For Your History Files

Writes Rick Rozoff:

From a 1998 translation of the letters of brothers Heinrich and Thomas Mann, at the time perhaps the most prestigious of German novelists. Thomas had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. Both had Jewish wives (Heinrich until 1930) and had left Germany shortly after Hitler became chancellor. The following excerpts are from letters by Thomas, who admired Roosevelt and did not mean to present him in a bad light, to Heinrich toward the very beginning of Roosevelt’s over 12-year presidency.

July 5, 1934

…Roosevelt is a good man in the Anglo-Saxon sense of the word; that much is certain. It is dictatorship that he is pursuing as well, of course, but no doubt….From prosperous sorts I heard repeatedly that the revolution would have come for sure without him.

June 17, 1935

The President had invited us to Washington….where we enjoyed a very lovely and also interesting family dinner with the Roosevelts – very private, of course, with no sign of the ambassador. My impression was quite sympathetic – on the basis of a favorable predisposition….With him I had more the sense of a certain disdain for parliamentarism and a tendency for one-man rule, but….
