A new report in the Washington Free Beacon notes that under Joe Biden’s leadership, the Environmental Protection Agency has spent millions of dollars in taxpayer funds on military grade hardware.
The supplies include advanced combat equipment, reconnaissance supplies, guns, ammunition and more.
And now a U.S. senator wants to know what’s going on.
The report explained Biden’s EPA already has spent $2,892,770 on those items, a surge of 143% from what was spent during the entire Trump administration.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, of the Senate Budget Committee, wrote to the EPA asking for an explanation.
The Free Beacon reported, “The climate agency’s spending spree on guns, ammunition, and advanced tactical equipment is the subject of an oversight probe helmed by Grassley, who described the EPA’s militarization as ‘frightening.’ The congressional investigation comes just months after a watchdog group found that non-law enforcement agencies in the federal government, such as the EPA and Internal Revenue Service, have spent nearly $4 billion in taxpayer funds since 2006 stockpiling all manner of guns, ammunition, and ‘military-style equipment.'”
Grassley, explaining his concerns, told the publication, “The Biden EPA already has a reputation for overstepping its bounds, and that makes the agency’s militarization all the more frightening. We need to know what exactly EPA is doing with this equipment, and whether it serves the interests of the American people.”
Since 2006, the report noted, the EPA has purchased $10 million worth of various pieces, including “unmanned aircraft, night vision, and radar equipment.”
The Free Beacon report noted when Barack Obama was in office, the EPA bought nearly $6.6 million in guns, armor and such, only about $2 million while Trump was in office.
Grassley noted his review already has found the EPA, charged with protecting the nation’s environment, with obtaining mobile command vehicles, and mobile command posts.
The agency’s 200 federal law enforcement officers are equipped already with 857 guns and half a million rounds.
Grassley wants the EPA to explain what it has, who is using it, and what for.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
