As more and more of this fraud and waste is uncovered, Americans will get even angrier at those that perpetrated it…especially in the name of “climate”. Apparently, the only climate Biden’s EPA was interested in protecting was the political one.

EPA $375B Climate Slush Fund Handled by John Podesta Only Gave to New Charities.

New York Post has a map of the gold bar trail, which led to 8 NGO’s of questionable origin and purpose.

Legal Insurrection readers may recall that late last year, Brent Efron, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) special advisor implementing Biden’s climate agenda, made many controversial statements during an undercover video about the agency’s actions in anticipation of a potential Trump administration.

Efron reportedly told Project Veritas that the EPA was rapidly distributing billions of dollars in grants to nonprofits as an “insurance policy” against Trump winning the election. He described the situation as “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” referring to the urgency with which the agency allocates funds.

Now the Trump Administration has followed those gold bars. An exclusive report by the New York Post indicates the trail of those bars led back to Deep State Obama/Biden minion, John Podesta.

The story began in September 2022, when Biden named Podesta to helm the $375 billion climate fund, which resulted from the Inflation Reduction Act, a 2022 law that was basically “Green New Deal” poison hidden beneath a wrapper of sweet economic promises.

Here is how The New York Times announced the 2022 fund creation:

As a senior adviser to Mr. Biden on clean energy innovation, Mr. Podesta will shape how the government disburses billions of dollars in tax credits and incentives to industries that are developing wind and solar energy, as well as to consumers who want to install solar panels, heat and cool their homes with electric heat pumps or buy electric vehicles.

..In an interview, Mr. Podesta described his new job as “throwing the weight of federal government policy behind a cycle of investment and innovation that we haven’t seen before in the United States, and that is almost unique in the world.”

There was absolutely no questioning by The New York Times as to where these monies would go, or how the funds would be used to help either our climate or energy industry.

On the other hand, the New York Post has a map of the gold bar trail. Apparently, billions went to “Non-Governmental Organizations” that were founded after the fund was created.

The Biden administration funneled at least $20 billion dollars into environmental groups, most of which had only recently been founded, The Post has discovered.

In one case, former Vice President Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to Bethesda, Maryland, based group Climate United Fund, which does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings.

The non-profit fund had only been incorporated in Delaware on November 30, 2023, according to public records, five months before Harris handed over the cash in April 2024.

The Climate United Fund then announced “the historic investment” in a press release, noting the group’s work “delivers benefits like cleaner air…and increased energy security.”’

However, because the company is so new, there is no publicly published accounting of how it plans to spend the $7 billion.

 

Climate Fund, which received nearly $7 billion in Biden Climate Gold, was just one of eight similarly set-up entities. Others are:

  • Coalition for Green Capital: Received $5 billion
  • Power Forward Communities: Received $2 billion
  • Opportunity Finance Network: Received $2.29 billion
  • Inclusiv: Received $1.87 billion
  • Justice Climate Fund: Received $940 million
  • Appalachian Community Capital: Received $500 million
  • Native CDFI Network: Received $400 million

President Trump’s EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin discovered the horde of EPA gold stashed in an account at CitiBank last month.

 

Hot Air’s Beege Welborne noted her serious concerns about the $2 billion that went to “Power Forward Communities”.

As if $20B squirreled away in a Citibank account wasn’t insult enough, when the dollar sleuths started digging into who the money was earmarked for – because surely someone had a bead on those bucks – one of the names that popped up for a two billion dollar payday was an organization associated with none other than the cranky claimant to the governorship of Georgia and President of Earth, Stacey Abrams.

Her organization – Power Forward Communities – was only a few months old and had a whopping $100 in the bank at the time of the $2B with a “B” award.

Zeldin is still digging, and asked for the EPA inspector general to investigate.

As Zeldin told The Post: “Of the eight pass-through entities that received funding from the pot of $20 billion in tax dollars, various recipients have shown very little qualification to handle a single dollar, let alone several billions of dollars.”

He’s called for the EPA’s inspector general to investigate; who knows what other rank misuse that might turn up.

Let me put it this way, as I like to crunch numbers. The average American pays $500,000 in taxes over their lifetime, so:

  • The taxes of 4,000 hard-working citizens were just lavished on Abrams.
  • The monies sent to DC by 40,000 Americans were distributed recklessly to groups only interested in the political climate.
  • Zeldin and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have yet to determine where the other $355 billion went. This wealth represents the taxes of 710,00 Americans paid to the government.

I don’t know about you, but I could have made many economy-supporting purchases with my $500,000 that would have done more for the country than any of the social justice/climate cultist/Democrat supporting expenditures made by these groups.

As more and more of this fraud and waste is uncovered, Americans will get even angrier at those that perpetrated it…especially in the name of “climate”.

Apparently, the only climate Biden’s EPA was interested in protecting was the political one.
