VOODOO ECONOMICS: Did We Just Get a Glimpse of a Hidden System of Finance? – By Joseph P. Farrell Ph.D

–  Mr. K.L. sent along this article, with the suggestion that it might be a sign or indicator of the hidden system of finance I’ve been suggesting has been in place since 1947, if not before, for bankrolling covert operations and black research projects:

Pentagon funding bill on Obama’s desk: $600 mln to Syrian rebels, $300 mln to Kiev

The hint is contained in this paragraph:

Obama has threatened to veto the $612 billion National Defense Authorization Act – also known as House Resolution 1735, or the NDAA – because it contains provisions blocking the plans to shut down the detention camp at the US base in Guantanamo Bay, and because it avoids a cap on defense spending by padding a special account reserved for bankrolling wars. The Senate passed the NDAA on Wednesday with a veto-proof majority. (Emphasis added)

Note not only has Mr. Obama apparently threatened a veto – even against a “veto proof majority” – because of the bill’s clear intention to keep the “rendition” camp in Guantanemo open, a camp Mr. Obama during his first campaign promised to shut down, but also that it refers to “a special account reserved for bankrolling wars.”

So the inevitable questions occur: what is this special account? What banks manage it? How much money is in it? and, last but not least, where does this money come from? Can an audit of this special account show that the money comes exclusively from Congressional sources and funding? Or does some of it come from somewhere else?

It takes little imagination to see that we might have been afforded a bring glimpse into the existence of this hidden system of finance courtesy of RT. SUch an account – and presumably there are many – could easily be used for money laundering activities, funding not only “wars” and “covert ops” but also black research projects. The really intriguing thing, however, is that during the increased diplomatic tensions between the USA and the West, and Russia over its Syrian intervention, that this little tidbit is dropped into the beginning of an otherwise “typical” article oon American defense spending, an article that, moreover, has no clearly stated author.

So herewith the high octane speculation of the day: perhaps we’re not only seeing, as Mr. K.L. suggested to me, a bit of a glimpse of that hidden system of finance, but also being afforded a glimpse into something equally as significant:

The Russians are tracking and monitoring it.

That last implication takes on its own high octane speculative significance in the light of recent stories about the possibilities that Chinese hackers may have been behind the recent hack of personnel records from the Office of Personnel Management. After all, what better way to track the possible existence of a completely black world – Mr. Richard Dolan’s “breakaway civilization” concept – than to track long-term disappearances of financial activities of certain individuals, submarine crews, scientists, and so on.

My suspicion, quite bluntly, is that this little paragraph was a deliberate “drop in” by Russia, and that the economic espionage taking place behind the scenes by Russia, China, and the West, is intense. And this carries with it an implication of its own: if China is to complete its program of putting into place its parallel system of finance, then at some point it must expose that western hidden system, in order to complete the argument against its untrustworthiness. Expecting such transparency is, of course, its own brand of fantasy, for any such exposure would only be in the name of a geopolitical agenda.

See you on the flip side.

Pentagon funding bill on Obama’s desk: $600 mln to Syrian rebels, $300 mln to Kiev
The defense funding bill for 2016 includes some lavish support to rebels in Syria and lethal aid to the current Ukrainian government. Although President Barack Obama is at loggerheads with lawmakers over some of the provisions, they are likely to remain.

Obama has threatened to veto the $612 billion National Defense Authorization Act – also known as House Resolution 1735, or the NDAA – because it contains provisions blocking the plans to shut down the detention camp at the US base in Guantanamo Bay, and because it avoids a cap on defense spending by padding a special account reserved for bankrolling wars. The Senate passed the NDAA on Wednesday with a veto-proof majority.

While the White House and the lawmakers are in dispute over the details, they appear to be in agreement on continuing to send military aid to the regime in Ukraine and the elusive “moderate rebels” in Syria.

Some $600 million has been earmarked for a program to support the “appropriately vetted” Syrian rebels, fighting against both the government in Damascus and Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS and ISIL).

Section 1225 of the NDAA allocates $531.5 million directly to the Syria Train and Equip program, and directs an additional $25.8 million to the US Army and $42.8 million to the US Air Force, to cover the costs of their participation.

The 2015 version of the NDAA allocated $500 million for the training and equipping of “moderate rebels.” Though the Pentagon hoped to have a force of 5,000 fighters by the end of 2015, the program has produced only a handful – literally. Top US military officials admitted only “five or six” rebels remained in combat after the first group was scattered by Al-Nusra terrorists in July. The second batch of rebels surrendered to Al-Nusra last month, with all their US-provided gear.

The text of the bill as reconciled between the House of Representatives and the Senate lays out the conditions for the aid, including the provision that the Pentagon must prevent the weapons, ammunition and supplies given to the rebels from falling into the hands of IS, Al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda, the Khorasan Group, “any other violent extremist organization,” as well as “Syrian Arab Army or any group or organization supporting President Bashir [sic] Assad.”

Washington insists that the government of President Assad is the “root of all evil” in Syria and that regime change in Damascus should be pursued parallel to the struggle against Islamic State.

Another $715 million was allocated for the train-and-equip program in Iraq, aimed at the Iraqi military as well as the Kurdish and tribal militias fighting against IS.

Though the US-led coalition of 62 countries has been bombing IS in Syria and Iraq for over a year, at a total cost of $4 billion and counting, the group has grown in strength and expanded its reach. On September 30, Russia began its own air campaign against IS, in cooperation with the governments of Syria, Iraq and Iran.

Another provision in the NDAA gives the Pentagon and the State Department a six-month deadline to report on the possibility of establishing and maintaining a no-fly zone “over a significant portion or all of Syria” and “one or more safe zones in Syria for internally displaced people or for the facilitation of humanitarian assistance.”

Plans to establish a no-fly zone and “safe areas” have been floated by former CIA director and retired US Army General David Petraeus and by contender for the Democratic presidential nomination Hillary Clinton.

“Lethal assistance” to Ukraine

Section 1250 of the NDAA allocates $300 million to the “Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative,” aimed at propping up the government in Kiev. The bill instructs the Pentagon to coordinate with the State Department to “provide appropriate security assistance and intelligence support, including training, equipment, and logistics support, supplies and services, to military and other security forces of the Government of Ukraine.”

Lawmakers have allocated no less than $50 million for “Lethal assistance such as anti-armor weapon systems, mortars, crew-served weapons and ammunition, grenade launchers and ammunition, and small arms and ammunition.”

US troops have been training Ukrainian government soldiers at Yavoriv, in western Ukraine, since this spring. However, this is the first time that Washington has authorized lethal aid for Kiev. The program also includes drones – described as “unmanned aerial tactical surveillance systems” – as well as electronic and cyber warfare capabilities and “actionable intelligence.”

The final version of the bill does not specify what it means by “other security forces.” In addition to the state military, the Kiev regime has used the newly formed National Guard and volunteer battalions such as ‘Azov,’ described by US lawmakers as “openly neo-Nazi” and “fascist.”
