Ukraine Bloody War: The Great Plundering
Ukraine Bloody War: The Great Plundering
The Cabal knows how to steal from us. They know how to terrify us. They know how to brainwash us. And now, as ready as ever, they've embarked on a multi-layered pillage of biblical proportions.
Follow the Money. Always.
Buckle up; down the rabbit hole we go. President Joe Biden has provided Ukraine with $24.775 billion based on the so-called Drawdown Authority alone (most of his Drawdown Authority Announcements are listed at the very bottom of this essay) as defined in 22 U.S. Code § 2318, Special Authority.
Now, in a de-facto lawless state like the one the current U.S. regime represents, from punishment-free looting of San Francisco et al. stores over the United States government’s neglect to protect its southern border via Joe Biden’s Ukraine-related responsibility-free corruption all the way up to the "un-audited" hundreds of billions sent to Ukraine free of oversight, it is almost comical to refer to a law, but let us try.
The following screen-grab outlines the U.S. Code that serves as the legal basis for the $24.775 billion worth of checks authorized by Joe Biden:
The term "unforeseen emergency" typically applies to situations that are sudden, unexpected, and not planned for in advance. However:
The war in Ukraine began on February 22, 2022, so it could not be considered an unforeseen emergency in September 2023, as it would have been ongoing for over a year and no longer meet the criteria of an unforeseen event. Biden and Congress could not care less,
That nuisance, a mere $100 million limit, has been eagerly resolved by the Congress, which has increased the cap on this draw-down authority from $100 million to $11 billion for Fiscal Year 2022—an increase of 10,900%—in the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022.
Biden signed the law that enables him to sign off billions.
As we dug through an enormous maze of the documents, we heard recurring, hypnotic magical mantras such as “brutal, completely unprovoked war,“ as said by National Security Council spokesman John F. Kirby, “Kremlin’s cruelty,” and the “sordid bombardment” of Ukraine by the Russians during “an unanticipated emergency,” but we couldn't find any “prior notifications to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Appropriations of each House of Congress,” a requirement in 22 U.S. Code § 2318. (“Authority contained in this section shall be effective for any such emergency only upon prior notification” to those legislative bodies).
It seems that the Secretary of State, Antony J. Blinken—one of the Ukraine proxy war triumvirate, Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan—[emphasis mine] ”plays a central role in the initiation and coordination of these draw-downs. After initial engagement with Congress, the Secretary requests the President’s authorization to notify Congress of the intent to exercise the draw-down authority under section 506(a)(1) of the FAA and seeks delegated authority from the President to make the necessary determinations and to direct the draw-down.”
Many wonder who pulls Biden’s strings, given his obvious mental challenges, and it seems that we have the answer from the horse’s mouth, the U.S. Department of State’s own website, and the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs Fact Sheet from September 21, 2023, I quoted.
Hawaii and Ukraine
Before we continue, I’d like you to recall how the Federal Emergency Management Agency provided critical needs assistance "to address immediate necessities like food, water, and clothing" and offered a generous “$700.00 payment per household” to the victims of the devastating Maui fire.
“Our prayers are with the people of Hawaii, but not just our prayers,” Biden also said. “Every asset we have will be available to them.” Well, perhaps not “every asset,” but to Washington, D.C., even crumbs are fine for the impoverished American plebs.
The regime deployed its “nearly 500 federal employees,” on the island, and $2.3 million has already been dispensed to more than 1,330 households, including $800,000 in initial rental assistance and $700 per person in immediate cash payments. One governmental bureaucrat in charge of, on average, 2.4 households was sent to Hawaii.
In comparison, the CIA's outlet, “the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), has allocated $4.35 billion for International Disaster Assistance. This funding aims to provide emergency food assistance to people worldwide experiencing hunger due to the conflict in Ukraine and address other urgent humanitarian needs within Ukraine.” I am curious about the inner workings of the regime's apparatchiks as they distribute this aid. How do they assess hunger in Mali or Somalia as a result of events in the Zaporizhzhia region, especially when we are aware that "Russia will be ready," as announced during The Russia-Affrica Summit in July 2023, "to supply Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic, and Eritrea with 25-50 thousand tons of grain each, ensuring free delivery."
I hate to invoke humor, but it seems the spirit of Milo Minderbinder is alive and well.
But wait, there’s more. The USAID’s Report to Congress on Results through May 31, 2023, of the Budget Support to the Government of Ukraine with Funds Provided under the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023, has many interesting pieces of data. This one, for example:
I understand Ukraine needs help.
But so does Hawaii. Our own struggling, vulnerable pensioners. Our PTSD'ed veterans. Our unemployed and our miserable homeless. Our low-income families and our single mothers. As many as 9 million children in the United States live in "food insecure" homes. That means that those households don't have enough food for every family member to lead a healthy life. Perhaps they’d benefit from some care and love, help from the government?
The Biden regime could've, at least, pretended to care for Americans instead of sending those insulting $700 per household to Hawaii. OK, my bad. They do pretend. Just listen to Pierrine as she is, as the spokesperson for the White House, laughing in your face. That money given to Americans, a whopping $2.3 million, tells us that one would need to spend $2.3 million about 7,826.09 times in a row to get to the $18 billion of our money the Biden regime and CIA’s USAID sent to teachers, pensions, social assistance, and salaries for Zelensky's own leeches in civil service.
Disclaimer: The numbers I am presenting hereafter are by no means comprehensive or exhaustive. I’m not an accountant, economist, or mathematician, and I may, unintentionally, misunderstand some of the numbers, resulting in calculations that may not be 100% accurate. This is not done in bad faith; I am working alone to the best of my abilities. Moreover, I lived in Ukraine for four (4) months in 2017 and loved the unique sense of humor in Odessa. I've visited Russia several times and have an appreciation for its literature, art, and the madness of that crazy, fantastic land. I also love the people of both countries. I have friends in St. Petersburg as well as in Odessa. This war breaks my heart. I have experienced propaganda as well as the tragedy of war, with members of my family being killed and slaughtered back home. When I critique anything related to Ukraine, it is NEVER intended as a slight against their immense suffering but is ALWAYS aimed at our own bloodthirsty, corrupt, and criminally complicit enablers of that tragic war. The Ukrainians, ordinary, honest people, might be getting crumbs out of all the money flowing back and forth from our criminals to their own, but they are also dying, living displaced, and suffering needlessly. I have deep empathy for their plight.
"Hyman Roth Always Made Money for His Friends."
The U.S. vassal states are on the gravy train also:
The EU is providing up to €25.2 billion in DBS through macro-financial assistance loans and €620 million in grants for Ukraine. [When I read “loan,” I see the U.S. servicing and paying back such loans.]
In 2022, the EU provided €7.2 billion in macro-financial assistance loans and €620 million in grants for Ukraine.
For 2023, the EU is providing an unprecedented support package for Ukraine of up to €18 billion in the form of highly concessional loans (Macro-financial Assistance (MFA) +), of which €7.5B has been disbursed.
In May, the EU Commission paid the 4th payment of €1.5 billion under this package (1st: January - €3 billion; 2nd: March - €1.5 billion; 3rd: April - €1.5 billion) after finding that “Ukraine continued to make satisfactory progress towards implementing the agreed policy conditions and complied with reporting requirements, which aim to ensure the transparent and efficient use of the funds.”
The EU Commission found that Ukraine “has notably achieved important progress to strengthen the rule of law, enhance financial stability, improve the functioning of the gas system, and promote a better business climate.“
This finding will also enable the disbursement of a further monthly payment of €1.5 billion in June. This support “helps Ukraine in paying wages and pensions (again? how many salaries do they get?) and to maintain essential public services, such as hospitals, schools, and housing for relocated people.”
Other major bilateral providers of budget support since the start of the full-scale war include:
Trudeau’s Canada ($3.6 billion),
Scholz’s Germany ($1.6 billion),
Sunak’s UK ($1.6 billion)
Japan ($581 million with an additional $5.5 billion announced in February 2023); and
Norway ($7.5 billion package announced in February 2023).
The Government of Ukraine (GOU) has also received substantial budget support from International Financial Institutions (IFIs), including:
$5.4 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF),
$1.9 billion from the World Bank and
$1.7 billion from the European Investment Bank (EIB). On March 31, 2023.
The total amount mentioned in the paragraph is approximately €64.3 billion. Are we lost already in those oceans of billions? Help me summarize the only help listed so far, most of which is non-military assistance:
$24.775 Joe Biden alone (that’s mostly military).
$4.35 billion for imaginary friends harmed around the world.
$18 billion USAID to Ukraine's everyone and their grannies.
$70.087 billion, the U.S. vassal states.
Once we put all of that together, we have approximately $117.212 billion forked out to Zelensky in (mostly) non-military help.
Note that Ukrainian consolidated budget for 2022 was $82,124,973,000.00 and, with a revenue of $59,228,571,000.00 they’re having a $24,859,676,000.00 budget deficit. Say $25 billion. Or $39.58 billions or so deficit over the course of the war. So why did the U.S. and its vassals sent $77.62 billion over that amount to Zelensky? Are we’re giving them a 49.09% pay-raise?
Who do we really feed?
Now ponder this: the federal minimum wage in the U.S. is $7.25 per hour, well below the living wage, and in 2021 we had 181,000 workers that earned exactly the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, the working poor.
Now if we’d double—a 100% pay raise—salary for those 181,000 people, we’d get $461,912,000 TOTAL salary for minimum wage workers in the whole of the U.S., assuming 8 hours of work per day and 22 working days in a month. If we’d keep paying them until we've reached the $77.62 billion Zelensky special rate, it would take 168 months or 14 years until we exhausted the money we’re—with our vassals— overpaying Ukraine.
This feeding frenzy of blood-mad opportunists, gnawing at us from all sides, is tearing apart the United States, while, at the same time, increasing the peril of nuclear war with Russia. Sadistic in Ukraine, criminal at home, madness does not even start to describe what’s going on.
And a Small Issue of War “Assistance”
Since 2014—remember that "unforeseen emergency" that started on February 24, 2022, and is still an "unforeseen emergency" today—the United States has provided more than $46.7 billion “in security assistance for training and equipment to help Ukraine preserve its territorial integrity, secure its borders, and improve interoperability with NATO.” Here’s a September 21, 2023, partial list of what Merchants of Death have sent to Ukraine.

This will never end. Harvard tuition needs to be paid, cocaine acquired, mortgages serviced, high-end escorts satisfied, posh gyms membership paid.
Why? “The Pentagon is the only federal department in America that hasn’t been able to pass an independent audit—decades after Congress required it to do so,” reads the Sanders-Grassley Audit the Pentagon Act. In the same document we are reminded how, on September 10, 2001, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said, “Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because it's stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible.”
There’s even more “accounting errors” the Congress inquired about:
On June 20, 2023, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh told reporters that the Department of Defense (DOD) massively overestimated the value of weapons it has sent to Ukraine by $6.2 billion over the past two years.
This comes after DOD announced a $3 billion “accounting error” in May 2023.
A Drop in the Ocean
But wait, there are more. We’re a generous nation, so we’ve given:
$950 million in security assistance to Ukraine under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) and, before the war, the “unexpected one”, justifying emergent billions, in FY 2021, Ukraine received:
$275 million under DoD’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).
$75 million in lethal assistance (from the USAI above)
$115 million in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and
$3 million in International Military Education and Training (IMET) funding.
Then we have even more breadcrumbs to feed our insatiable machine, f.k.a., the government. Look at this particular cost and tell me how someone needs $67 million to steal someone else’s property:
$67 million for DOJ General Administration “to help cover the costs of seizing, retaining, and selling forfeited property (e.g., the yachts of Russian oligarchs) related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”
The lists, scattered all over a gazillion governmental and adjunct organizations, go on forever. The Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, provides more than $40 billion “in emergency funding to support the Ukrainian people and defend global democracy in the wake of Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine.” (“Brutal and unexpected” seem to be edited out.) Check it out if you wish, but I’d highlight only a few costs that catch my eye:
$9.05 billion to replenish US stocks of equipment sent to Ukraine through draw-down authority. Biden, rather Blinken, giveth and the DoD taketh.
$3.9 billion for mission support, intelligence support, hardship pay for troops deployed to the region, and equipment, including a Patriot battery. What is “hardship pay” for? Hookers in Hamburg are being rude?
$600 million to mitigate industrial base constraints for faster missile
production and expanded domestic capacity of strategic and critical minerals.
$900 million to provide refugee support services, such as housing, English language classes, trauma and support services, community support (including school impact grants), and case management, for arrivals and refugees from Ukraine.
$150 million for the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program to help countries, including Ukraine, weather impacts from rising food prices. No help for Americans to weather impacts from rising food prices because, as Paul Krugman has said, there’s no inflation if we exclude food. And if you’d start eating you’d have a surplus.
I wrote about that recently, in the Mind Control’s series essay.
It never ends. In addition to $2.3 million for Hawaii, the Biden regime’s Department of State, has also sent:
$350 million for Migration and Refugee Assistance to provide humanitarian support for refugee outflows from Ukraine.
$4 billion for the Foreign Military Financing Program to provide additional support for Ukraine and countries affected by the situation in Ukraine, including NATO Eastern flank countries and other partners in the region, to build and update their capabilities.
$8.766 billion for the Economic Support Fund to respond to emergent needs in Ukraine, provide needed budget support to assist with Ukraine’s continuity of government, and counter human trafficking.
Includes $760 million to prevent and respond to global food insecurity.
$190 million for Diplomatic Programs for diplomatic support, and planned return, of Embassy Kyiv as well as supporting the operations of other Embassies in the region. Why do we “support” a German or Argentinian Embassy in Kiev?
Russia’s “premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal war” against Ukraine was a boon to the Merchants of Death well before the Russian attack. The amounts are staggering. Ukraine has been a very good customer. Should you wish to, you can search the Defense Security Cooperation Agency for all the military deals before the war.
Mark VI Patrol Boats and related equipment for an estimated cost of $600 million; one hundred fifty (150).
Javelin missiles and related equipment and support for an estimated cost not to exceed $39.2 million, the list go on forever, including
The Global Security Contingency Fund was used to tell us how “President Biden today announced the appointment of Penny Pritzker as the U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery.” Perhaps a small tangent is justified: Penny, who, where else, served as commerce secretary in the Obama White House, belongs to a multi-billionaire Pritzker family with legendary transgender Jennifer Natalya Pritzker (born James Nicholas Pritzker), the world's first transgender billionaire, who forked out $8,606,266.00 to charity, some to transgender-related issues.
The Department of Defense's Excess Defense Articles (EDA) and many others are rushing head over heels to give more money to Zelensky. The Panama Papers, in lieu of his CV, have shown that he’s quite skilled in creating and owning “a network of offshore companies related to their business based in the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and Belize,” so the money is well spent if you’re a Belize-based banker. Unprovoked democracy also needs money.
But we helped Zelensky before Zelensky, i.e., Ukraine was an ideal conduit for our Merchants of Death before him and will stay so long after they have gotten rid of him.
The Embassy of the United States in Kyiv, Ukraine, on March 25, 2015, bragged about how the United States has committed more than $120 million in security assistance for Ukraine to date and has additionally promised 230 Humvees in total, as well as $75 million worth of equipment, including UAVs, counter-mortar radars, night vision devices, and medical supplies.
Since 2014, the U.S. has committed more than $2.7 billion in security assistance to build the capacity of Ukraine’s forces, including more than $650 million in 2021 alone. All of that before Russia’s “premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal war” caught us all by surprise.
We might have been surprised by the “brutal and unprovoked” Russian attack, but the Merchants of Death operating from Washington, D.S., for sure haven’t been.
The Totals
Once the war is over and we have established both the Black Sea and the China South Sea as our own waters, it would take years and Walter Cronkite’s resurrection to get to the bottom of the war-related, biggest pillage our overlords have invented (financial crime). Cartel’s pillaging of our Treasury is a norm and goes into trillions; the COVID vaccine’s loot for the Big Pharma, as seen in my “Peter St. Onge, Ph.D.—Only 10% of the $7.5 Trillion Spent During COVID Went to Health" post, deals with trillions plundered, and yet, it is only a part of the decades-long pillage of our wallets thus far. The canary in the criminal mine, Ukraine, might be singing a funeral hymn for the United States.
As billions keep oozing out of our Treasury, until the end of September 2023, there were $200 or so billions in total spending by the United States and our servants in 53 other countries. Wikipedia's “List of foreign aid to Ukraine during the Russo-Ukrainian War” not only makes your head spin but, as one could imagine, makes small countries the U.S. had ravaged, rather their own psychopath rulers, sorry for not being invaded by Russia.
Imagine the money…
So, let us use a modest $200,000,000,000.00 (two hundred billions) as the estimate of the total money “given” to Ukraine over the nineteen (19) months since the Russian attack. It’s clear that, barring a miracle, the U.S., the NATO, and the EU vassal states (“the whole world” in their parlance, or 10% of the world’s population in reality) would want this war to go forever, as long as it takes. ZERO ATTEMPTS AT PEACE shows such a statement is not far removed from the truth.
On an annual basis, $126.31 billion would be “given” to Ukraine. Five more years of slaughter—and we’re at $831.57 billion. Can we even understand those numbers? Let's try. We know the government pays only lip service to our veterans, but it’s interesting to make a comparison. The 2019 American Community Survey estimated the U.S. had 254.0 million people aged 18 and over, and of those, 17.4 million, or 6.86 percent, were veterans. And we’ve given $125 billion total to our 17,400,000 veterans, or more or less what was, roughly speaking, “assistance” “given” to Ukraine.
Corporate income taxes in the mightiest country in the world, the United States, per the same CBO May 2022 report, were $372 billion. So out of all the corporate taxes, we’d be giving 33.87% to Ukraine?
Let us compare these mind-numbing numbers with Russia’s federal budget. In the years 2019–21, Russia allocated 3 to 3.6 trillion rubles to the military ($44.1 to $48.5 billion, based on annual average exchange rates), according to official reports.
If their budget—now poised to raise dramatically—was “only” $48.5 billion, that’s a fraction of the approximately $200 billion given to Ukraine. Why is Zelensky not riding onto the Red Square and not hanging Putin there if we gave him so much more than needed to win? Perhaps most of that money was abused, misused, or embezzled. I have no idea, but this all screams to high heavens.
Not only was the most prepared proxy war in U.S. history, that of Ukraine against Russia, not an "unexpected emergency," but none of that money to support the war is subject to an audit.
World War II Comparison
World War II, the most expensive war in United States history, cost $4 trillion dollars when adjusted for inflation. Thus far, the Ukraine war has cost around 5% of the total cost of World War II, and if it continues like this, it could cost up to 20% or even more of the WWII expenditures.
Ponder this:
12,200,000 U.S. military personnel were deployed in the WWII.
zero (0) - officially - in Ukraine.
418,500 U.S. military deaths during the WWII.
zero (0) - officially - in Ukraine.
As I wrote in my prior essay titled U.S. vs. Russia: Theft & Armageddon (cont.) “Every war is hell. A gory, beyond tragic mess, an unimaginable carnage leaving abandoned corpses and mutilated body parts, pain, suffering, and despair in its path. But you can barely find the war-inflicted regions, or "war theater" as they call it, of Ukraine on a European map. Bakhmut, where Zelensky decided to grind his own people down due to his subservient need of pleasing his U.S. masters and not allowing the army to look weak, perhaps upwards of 50,000 Ukrainian troops died. (This carnage is now being repeated in their botched counter-offensive, where it seems another 50,000 or even more Ukrainian troops died for a few inches of land conquired back.)
Think about it—in Bakhmut alone, because of this decision, over 50,000 people have died. And yet, not even with a magnifying glass would you be able to find it on this map of Ukraine war theater. That small reddish spot is all of Europe that has seen war. The rest still enjoy cappuccino with latte and cinnamon.
If you were to compare that small patch of torn-apart land in Ukraine with the "war theater" in Europe during World War II, you would get an idea of the proportions.
And this is how the WW II map looked like.
We’re pouring billions into that small patch of land, like there’s no tomorrow. If we continue, we might not have tomorrow.
Military History by Norwich University Online, on October 20th, 2020 has produced this graph that gives us some idea about the U.S. military production of the entire World War II:
And now compare that with the isolated armed conflict in Ukraine, no matter how “premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal” it has been since its start—a conflict without a single American soldier officially involved on the battlefields. If someone has been acting in a premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal fashion, that’s not only Russia but also our Merchants of Death, who have grossly enriched themselves while Ukraine and Russian people are dying, some killed by our own weaponry.
War is Hell & War is a Racket. The propaganda serves to sell it to us. And we pay for it all—both the propaganda and the war.
