EPA chief Lee Zeldin says revelation ‘extremely concerning’
DOGE discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.
The Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration awarded Power Forward Communities the grant in April 2024 as part of the agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. Power Forward Communities received the green energy grant despite the fact that it was founded months earlier in late 2023 and never managed anywhere near the grant’s dollar figure—it reported just $100 in total revenue during its first three months in operation, according to its latest tax filings.
Power Forward Communities’ grant was one of just eight Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants that the EPA doled out in April 2024 and that, altogether, totaled $20 billion. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Feb. 13 that his staff and Department of Government Efficiency officials discovered that the Biden administration parked that same $20 billion at an outside financial institution before leaving office, limiting the federal government’s oversight of the program.
The revelation that Power Forward Communities is among the beneficiaries of the funds Zeldin’s team located raises ethics questions about how the Biden administration selected recipients of such massive grants and whether it played favorites when doling those grants out. Abrams was a vocal proponent of the Biden administration’s green energy agenda and campaigned for former vice president Kamala Harris.
I definitely see the bad but some good may come of this. NSA has the data on the parasite which has infested our country. Used properly, they can target all of it simultaneously and remove it. This could happen with a big splash or be done quietly with almost no one noticing. Either way, the result would be a much cleaner and more efficient nation with much less violence. Time will tell.

If true, I hope gets looked into. There are so many cases like this. Congresscritters or someone else in government with a very good salary making huge sums on the side. Are they all terrific investors? Where do they find the time to do that? ABN
More info at link. I take this kind of information as speculative but not without some credibility. I believe the assassination attempt was real and was almost certainly set up by officials on the inside. Beyond that, we know little else. I am sure readers of this site know how to handle information of this type. Put it on a side-burner; at some point there may be corroboration or disproof. ABN
In Treasury’s basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting.
“We’re in,” Akash Bobba messaged the team. “All of it.”
Edward Coristine’s code had already mapped three subsystems. Luke Farritor’s algorithms were tracing payment flows across agencies. Ethan Shaotran’s analysis revealed patterns that career officials didn’t even know existed. By dawn, they would understand more about Treasury’s operations than people who had worked there for decades.
This wasn’t a hack. This wasn’t a breach. This was authorized disruption.
While career bureaucrats prepared orientation packets and welcome memos, DOGE’s team was already deep inside the payment systems. No committees. No approvals. No red tape. Just four coders with unprecedented access and algorithms ready to run.
“The beautiful thing about payment systems,” noted a transition official watching their screens, “is that they don’t lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail.”
That trail led to staggering discoveries. Programs marked as independent revealed coordinated funding streams. Grants labeled as humanitarian aid showed curious detours through complex networks. Black budgets once shrouded in secrecy began to unravel under algorithmic scrutiny.
…The scale was breathtaking:
EPA climate initiatives? Not just mapped—found unauthorized programs in 47 states. Education’s DEI maze? Not just exposed—revealed coordination across 1,200 programs. Intelligence community black budgets? Not just traced—uncovered patterns hidden for 30 years.
“The administrative state runs on two things,” a senior advisor explained, watching patterns emerge across DOGE’s screens. “Control of information and money flows.” His eyes tracked new connections forming in real-time. “We’re not just exposing their networks—we’re rewriting their DNA.”
The cracks began showing in unexpected places. A career EPA director, tears streaming: “Everything we built…” A USAID veteran, hands shaking: “They’re inside all of it…” A Treasury lifer, closing his office: “They move faster than we can think.”
…DOGE’s algorithms weren’t just programs—they were archaeology tools, excavating decades of buried networks. Each data point connected to another. Each discovery revealed new targets. Each pattern exposed larger systems.
“It’s beautiful,” one of the coders whispered, watching connections form across his screen. “Like watching a galaxy map itself.”
For the permanent bureaucracy, this wasn’t just change. It was an extinction-level event. Their power came from controlling who got paid, when they got paid, and what they got paid for. Now those controls were evaporating like dawn burning away darkness.
This is a great read. I am not sure how much is fiction and how much is inside knowledge. It has the ring of what we fucking want if not entirely of truth, though maybe. I just posted a few excerpts above. The whole article is much better, so be sure to check it out. ABN
The Trump administration is considering three potential areas for the absorption of refugee Gazans after President Donald Trump announced that the US plans to take over the Gaza Strip and relocate those currently there to rebuild the area, N12 reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the areas being considered are Morocco, Puntland, and Somaliland.
The report noted that what these three countries share in common is a strong need for US support, as Somaliland and Puntland seek international recognition, and Morocco has an ongoing territorial dispute over Western Sahara.
I am seeing many posts mocking Trump for helping Netanyahu with his chair or for wearing a ‘beta blue’ tie when Netanyahu was wearing an ‘alpha-red’ tie. Those posts did not have the ring of truth for me. I like the above explanation much better. ABN
– Trump wants to take control of Gaza when he could have handed Gaza over to Netanyahu on a silver platter. He didn’t. Because that would revitalise the conflict.
– Trump’s declaration of taking over Gaza practically means the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] will be spearheading the plan for Gaza with their sovereign wealth funds.
– The Trump family and other US factions, and Europe and even some Israelis, will have exposure to the GCC’s sovereign wealth funds. The return will be based on construction, stability, tourism.
– Everyone is lined up to get a return on investment. Except perhaps the hardline Israeli cabinet.
– Trump is insisting on Palestinians to leave Gaza. This is to appease the hardline Israeli cabinet and manage their expectations.
– Trump cannot be seen breaking character with Israel. He will remain as a staunch supporter to maintain and prohibit violations to the ceasefire agreement by the Israeli cabinet.
– Trumps insistence of displacing Palestinians is a call for the GCC to pull the trigger on a proposal.
– A proposal that will be unfavourable to Israel. Israel will be coerced to agree to this proposal just like it was coerced to agree to the ceasefire.
– As Trump increasingly pushes for the displacement of Palestinians, the International community is increasingly defending Palestinians to stay in Gaza. This is not by accident. This will be used to coerce Israel into accepting GCC’s proposal.
DeepSeek, China’s new Ai model, is disrupting the entire world of artificial intelligence…in the blink of an eye.
If you don’t know…DeepSeek is an open sourced Ai program that anyone can use.
It’s the top app in all app stores today.
It’s free and the paid models are cheaper than competitors.
It’s also very powerful, matching or beating all the American competitors on all major benchmarks.
The reason this is significant – and the reason it’s crashing the financial markets this morning…is because they did this with OUT all the powerful US ‘hyperscalers’ or GPU Superconductors that the US has banned the export of to China.
They also don’t give the ridiculous valuations to this company like we do to our OpenAi and Meta, etc.
So China, against all our efforts and sanctions, created a cheaper, more efficient and more powerful Ai model by being creative and working around all our efforts to block their progress.
And from what I hear, DeepSeek is just the beginning. Many think it cracked AGI!
The thing about the AI – as I have participated in some of the top London AI groups is that the research is very open and taking place all over the world. And it is evolving so fast that in a year, something can leapfrog this one. Also in those top communities smart people can join and get up to full speed in a year or 2 because the models change so rapidly that anything say 2 or more years old is completely obsolete.
Why it is near impossible to start companies around this because now it is moving just too fast, no internal corporate team could likely keep up. Plus they have a corporate model like many other areas of tech now where corps have farmed out all the research to universities and the universities publish advancements to worldwide public domain.
Then you have a third dynamic where no one wants to work for these big tech firms firms because they learn the BS they get up to and they are just looking to do this control grid crap.
Then maybe the fourth dynamic — the greed of the research model importing all these foreign grad students and post doc which has been going on for the last 30 years so now most of the people trained up in this tech have no loyalty or could care less about the US or the US elite projects, are not part of the mythos of the US. So yet another way these elites through their corruption have completely fucked themselves.
There is a danger of these generative AI models which is not just creating disinformation as defined by the technocrats. It is a bunch of plagiarists and scammers that now have AI automated superpowers to just disrupt most all content on the internet.
See here:
And here:
The elites have their heads so far up their ass on controlling the political narrative — the whole internet is being taken over with AI crap for clicks. It even be done on purpose to convince everyone that they need a drivers license for the internet, but I think it has already gotten away from them and can’t be reigned in for all the reasons above.
Also, Microsoft has definitely not stopped its plan to monitor everything you do. This Copilot thing is part of it. But this Deepseek thing, I think is possibly the moment of runaway. If not this specifically – there will be a newer and even better Deepseek and many more. The methods are out there. Part of these models as well is that a very small team of independents can leapfrog or break the big money guys and they don’t need big computers.
AI will do a lot and we all can see that. But we the plebs and we the people must recognize that we are the only database, a living database, that can rival or moderate or check or control AI, especially if it’s in the hands of bad people. Let’s start now and be ever more outrageous in what we say in order to push the limits of what is permitted to include everything short of actual criminal. Hate and hate speech cannot be criminalized, disrespect is not criminal, commenting even savagely on any topic must not be criminalized. Covid proved that free-speech is the only way. The only people who were reasonable and right during covid were those who spoke against the mainstream. Even doctors got it wrong. Out of one million American doctors, only about 500 spoke up against covid mandates and shots. That is a recent memory for all of us. Keep it in mind as a paradigm of how the world should work. Nobody gets to shut down speech, not even the AMA, FDA, CDC, NSA, DOD, the president of USA or the ADL. If we lose free speech, AI and its control minions will own us completely. I suspect Altman and Ellison are preprogramming us with these short vids about how we have to adapt to AI, never how AI has to adapt to us. ABN
