The EPA was throwing gold bars around like they were trying to lighten the load on the Titanic. The ship was going down and they wanted to advance their climate change agenda in an untraceable way. One that didn’t have their fingerprints all over it. They weren’t counting on Elon Musk and his team of DOGE auditors. Real soon he’ll be dropping in to Fort Knox, just to make sure all the bullion is still there where it belongs.
Gold bar scheme
The scandal broke when DOGE discovered that “a group linked to former Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams” got a $2 billion in bullion. It was a friendly little grant from the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Department of Government Efficiency soon learned it was only part of a $20 billion “gold bar scheme.”
Originally, the money was budgeted as part of Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The EPA “parked” $20 billion worth of solid gold bars “in an outside financial institution.”
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin admits it was “a bid to give the grant money out without oversight.”
The Washington Free Beacon did some digging and learned that “$2 billion in grants were earmarked for Power Forward Communities, which has ties to Abrams.”
That’s especially interesting because PFC only had $100 in revenue between the time it was founded in late 2023 and when the gold arrived in April, 2024. EPA’s Administrator Lee Zeldin blew the whistle as soon as he found out about it.
Blame Joe Biden
Zeldin was not pleased to find out what the Biden regime was up to behind his back. Nobody knows where the gold bars came from. “I made a commitment to members of Congress and to the American people to be a good steward of tax dollars, and I’ve wasted no time in keeping my word,” Zeldin testified to Congress recently.
“When we learned about the Biden administration’s scheme to quickly park $20 billion outside the agency, we suspected that some organizations were created out of thin air just to take advantage of this.”
The grant money, which was disbursed in gold, rather than the usual check, was supposed to be “needed capital to transform the marketplace for heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction stoves, solar panels, home battery systems, EV chargers, and wiring and weatherization upgrades.”
That sounds like a load of high nitrogen fertilizer.
When President Donald Trump appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference on February 22, he “was firm on his commitment to go to Fort Knox to check on the United States’s gold reserves.” Elon Musk brought it up and the president thinks it’s a great idea.
“We’re also going to Fort Knox. I’m going to go with Elon. And would anybody like to join us? Because we want to see if the gold is still there. Wouldn’t that be terrible if we opened it up into this and there was no gold there? So we’re going to open those doors.” Musk wants to livestream the visit.
