59 The Real Game of Missing Money XI. The Skidmore Report (May 2017– October 2018) “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community—they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you.” ~ Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer T hus began the process of Dr. Skidmore and his students reviewing the public financial reports of HUD and DOD for the federal fiscal years 1998-2015. While I had identified a total of $12-plus trillion of undocumentable adjustments, they kept finding more. Each time I received a call from Dr. Skidmore, I would hear him say in amazement, “We found anoth- er trillion.” Finally, the total count went to $21 trillion, more than the outstanding U.S. debt. Finally on September 28, 2017, Dr. Skidmore published his report on the findings. It was pub- lished on The Solari Report with copies of supporting documentation and links to the HUD and DOD websites where the original documentation had been sourced. It was followed by seven updates as DOD scrambled to justify their absence of audits. During this period, both Dr. Skid- more and I did regular radio and Internet shows to describe the situation. Right after the report was published, the New York press reported a fire at the New York Fed on a Saturday. The first report I read said that someone was using an old fireplace. I should have kept a copy. Lockheed could spin out its liabilities to a new company, but the other part of the payment systems run by the New York Fed as depository for the U.S. government and manager of the Exchange Stabilization Fund could not. Meanwhile, DOD announced its new audit—as if this was a new thing. With sufficient attention on the missing money, I believed it was time to connect the dots to what was happening to our pension funds. I researched and published our 2017 Annual Wrap Up – Does Your Pension Fund Have a Deep State Drain? on the state of the U.S. pension funds. Shortly after I published it, our site went down. The situation was so bad, I made the 2017 An- nual Wrap Up public and proceeded with our team to build a new website rather than fix the old one. Our business—which had been growing steadily at 20%-25%—dropped dramatically until we had the new site back up and running. We continue to bring up our full library—the amount
