An exclusive report by the\u00a0<em>New York Post\u00a0<\/em>indicates the trail of those bars led back to Deep State Obama\/Biden minion, John Podesta.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d poison hidden beneath a wrapper of sweet economic promises.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0announced the<a role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/02\/climate\/john-podesta-climate-biden.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2022 fund creation<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>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.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>..In an interview, Mr. Podesta described his new job as \u201cthrowing the weight of federal government policy behind a cycle of investment and innovation that we haven\u2019t seen before in the United States, and that is almost unique in the world.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There was absolutely no questioning by\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0as to where these monies would go, or how the funds would be used to help either our climate or energy industry.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the\u00a0<em>New York Post<\/em>\u00a0has a map of the gold bar trail.
