37 The Real Game of Missing Money lists. Suddenly, numerous Republicans announced for the Democrat, and the story got nixed. “Saving Tennessee: Tennessee’s Get Our Money Back Campaign 2002” (including letter to Con- gressman Van Hilleary and related cartoons) https://library.solari.com/real-deal-saving-tennessee/ Meanwhile, I continued to work on civil litigation on behalf of Hamilton, all the while tracking the money that kept going missing from HUD and DOD and the continued mortgage fraud and mortgage bubble. My research into Enron—which I suspected of laundering money going missing from HUD and DOD—drew attention when Enron went under. Kelly Patricia O’Meara’s powerful series on the Missing Money came to an end in 2004 after she left Insight. However, her efforts had proved the extent to which DOD and HUD would protect the private corporations and banks running their accounting, payment, and banking systems. After Kelly left Insight, I had the opportunity to work with Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and her staff to help prepare questions for DOD Secretary Rumsfeld about the missing money. McKinney’s courage was significant and was rewarded by her being pushed out of government. Trillions in missing money can fund a great deal of political and covert operations. “Cynthia McKinney grills Rumsfeld on Pentagon’s missing trillions” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aupqwx6vaCs Throughout these years, much of my writing on the missing money and related topics was pub- lished by Scoop Media in New Zealand. Scoop’s publisher, Alastair Thompson, understood the implications and risks to global citizens of the explosive growth in a secret U.S. national security state. He made a major contribution in providing coverage, given that a platform was lacking in the United States. Not surprisingly, during this period I received a call from a former CIA officer warning me, “The CIA does not like your friends at Scoop.” To keep up with all the missing money, we put up a website with the help of some entrepreneurs in California to help people fathom how much money this was—it had a counter to show how much money went missing every second for $1.1 trillion to go missing in a year. You can still see the counter running at Where Is the Money? (https://whereisthemoney.org/). With the war in the Middle East, a new phase of money going missing opened up as the U.S. military continued to globalize through the War on Terror. Investigative journalism duo Donald Barlett and James Steele, famous for their reporting on the demise of the U.S. middle class and local economies, brought considerable gravitas to the stories of missing money in Iraq—but the money just kept on disappearing. As the reports of missing money kept coming, we created a special site at Solari.com just to pub- lish the stories. This has now become https://missingmoney.solari.com. We try to make it easy for investors and citizens who are challenged to understand that this problem has been growing for 30 years without them being aware of it—and that it explains a surprising number of events during their lifetime. After Hamilton finally won its case in the court of claims as well as the vast majority of alle- gations in the qui tam while pursuing Ervin, the federal government threw in the towel and Cynthia McKinney served as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives for six terms.
