Legal Insurrection readers may recall that back in August, I reported that one intriguing sign that eco-activists in Washington, DC, anticipated a different political climate after the November election was the number of massive grants being given to “climate crisis” projects.
Team Biden was flooding eco-activist organizations with billions from the public coffers.
Now Project Veritas has released an incredible video confirming my suspicions that the $50 billion giveaway was designed to “Trump-Proof” Biden’s “Green New Deal’.
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 is 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 it’s how to get the money out as fast as possible before they come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge.”
The move is every bit as cynical and self-serving as it is insidious.
Efron even admits that the EPA is scrambling to push money out the door for projects originally designed for a Kamala Harris presidency.So committed are these staffers, Efron confesses, that they plan to work right up until the final moments on inauguration day, rushing to ensure that every possible tax-payer dollar is disbursed before a Republican administration can turn off the spigot….Efron openly admits how the EPA uses nonprofits as a political buffer against Republican administrations—and reveals how he could later reap personal rewards with a cushy job at one of the nonprofits he helped fund during his tenure.
The EPA team of grifters plundered the treasury with the efficiency of Viking raiders, rewarding woke non-profits.
For example, some of those gold bars went to Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change grants. This funding totaled $325 million for 21 selected applications to ‘tackle environmental and climate justice challenges’. The frightening aspect of this particular deal is that it was part of a larger $2 billion program, the single largest investment in environmental justice in history.
A staggering amount of money to solve climate and racial problems that don’t exist in reality. Certainly, there is a better use for this funding….such as helping the people of North Carolina recover from the hurricane damage.
Interestingly, recent reports suggest that only about 6% of federal workers are showing up to work in person on a full-time basis. This figure comes from a Senate report indicating that while 3% of the federal workforce worked from home daily before the COVID-19 pandemic, now approximately one-third work fully remotely.
Musk shared a new report from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, the chair of the Senate DOGE caucus, which claimed only 6% of federal workers show up in person to work on a full-time basis. Many others work from home part-time, and roughly one-third work from home full-time, according to the report.”If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%! Almost no one,” Musk posted in response to the report.
If Efron is an example of a federal worker, perhaps we should be grateful for the limited work effort.
Hopefully, the Trump administration and the next Congress can claw back some of the money that went to these non-profits.
One positive consequence: The EPA has totally lost its credibility and protection of the natural environment. The only environment its employees will protect is the political one.
