Boy....that was hilarious.Ventura only added to his whack-job reputation. I think he had been slammed to the ring floor one too many times. Is he really that gullible? He has to be. That is the only reason why he would do a show/series like that. Plus, anyone who believes anything that "Captain" Bpb Balsamo says, or any of his P4T followers, does not have a rational or intelligent bone in their body.

You want to know what's more "hilarious"? You didn't even watch the video, even though your post suggests you did. You posted 24 minutes after this thread was made, even though the video is 43 minutes long.
I've never heard that Ventura has a whack-job reputation. Maybe in the handful of trusters crowd that runs around this board professing how the official theory is the right theory.

Now that you're busted on that fact....

Further, how dare you attack a former governor and military war veteran of this country just because you don't share the same views and opinions? Ad-hominem attacks only make you lose credibility and look like the fool.
As was already said, unless you have something constructive to add that contradicts the theories and ideas presented instead of attacking individual people, then don't even bother wasting forum space and bandwidth. Your negative and meaningless ad-hominem attacks are not welcome and are against forum rules.
Perhaps you missed this thread that deals specifically with ad-hominem attacks.
Thanks angrydog for posting the video. I was waiting for TruTV to post it on their website, but you got it first. Thanks.

At the end of the video the woman said that in the end keeping information secret is about protecting the institution. How does withholding information protect the institution if the institution hasn't done anything wrong? Protection from what? I would also like to add that I don't remember hearing that they admitted loosing 2 trillion dollars the day before this happened, that is pretty weird bit of information. It's pretty convenient that much money goes missing and the very next day all records that could have been used to track the money down get destroyed In a plane crash where no plane is found.
In fiscal 1999, a defense audit found that about $2.3 trillion of balances, transactions and adjustments were inadequately documented. These "unsupported" transactions do not mean the department ultimately cannot account for them, she advised, but that tracking down needed documents would take a long time. Auditors, she said, might have to go to different computer systems, to different locations or access different databases to get information.
But, speaking of deficits and surpluses, Walker again has raised the issue of the apparent inability of federal agencies properly and accurately to account for funds entrusted to them by taxpayers. For example, the Department of Defense (DoD), which has in the last two years received tens of billions of additional funds to fight wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, has been on the high-risk list since the list's inception. According to Walker, "DoD's financial-management deficiencies represent the single largest obstacle to achieving an unqualified opinion on the U.S. government's consolidated financial statements. To date, none of the military services or major DoD components have passed the test of an independent financial audit." In other words, because of DoD's inability properly to account for its funds, the entire federal ledger cannot be balanced. Among the DoD's financial-management "deficiencies" is the agency's inability to account for $1.1 trillion. Insight pointed out in April of last year that, according to Assistant Inspector General for DoD Auditing David Steensma, "we reported that DoD processed $1.1 trillion in unsupported accounting entries to DoD component financial data used to prepare departmental reports and DoD financial statements for [fiscal year] 2000" [see "Government Fails Fiscal-Fitness Test," May 20, 2002]. That is, when the Clinton administration turned over the Pentagon to the Bush team some $1.1 trillion was missing or unaccounted for.
Pentagon's finances in disarray
By JOHN M. DONNELLY The Associated Press 03/03/00 5:44 PM Eastern
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The military's money managers last year made almost $7 trillion in adjustments to their financial ledgers in an attempt to make them add up, the Pentagon's inspector general said in a report released Friday.
The Pentagon could not show receipts for $2.3 trillion of those changes, and half a trillion dollars of it was just corrections of mistakes made in earlier adjustments.
Each adjustment represents a Defense Department accountant's attempt to correct a discrepancy. The military has hundreds of computer systems to run accounts as diverse as health care, payroll and inventory. But they are not integrated, don't produce numbers up to accounting standards and fail to keep running totals of what's coming in and what's going out, Pentagon and congressional officials said.

Thanks for posting this Vid
What I can not believe, what leaves me totally gob smacked, is how the American public is just sitting on this information which has been out there for some time. They are like Lemmings walking blindly of a cliff!
