I am familiar with the Free Thought Project; in fact a day or two after it launched I happened to run into it. That is the source of Zerohedge’s article, and there is no link to any actual Congressional or US fedgov other than this quote below, along with some old bit of Brennan talking smack at a CFA meeting. The FTP site started out by supporting Black Lives Matter, and All Cops Are Evil, and is basically a propaganda site promoting anarchy and is very untrustworthy. It started off very well funded, and no one uses their real name in writing articles, and no info about any group or organization connected with it. I do not take this seriously at all unless there is a reliable source.

Quote from article which is the sole bit of “info” about what the fedgov is supposedly doing:

“According to Science Magazine, David Fahey, director of the Chemical Sciences Division of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory, told his staff last week that the federal government is ready to examine the science behind “geoengineering”—or what he dubbed a “Plan B” for climate change.”

The FTP is run by a strange fellow who calls himself “Matt Agorist”a psuedonym. “Agorism” is defined thusly:

Agorism is an free-market anarchist political philosophy founded by Samuel Edward Konkin III that believes the ultimate goal as bringing about a society in which all “relations between people are voluntary exchanges– a free market.”[1] The term comes from the Greek word “agora,” referring to an open place for assembly and market in ancient Greek city-states. Agorist theory divides people into two classes: people who make their living through the market, and people who make their living by coercing others (called the “economic class” and “political class”, respectively). They support a nonviolent overthrow of the second class by the first, through peaceful black market and grey market activity, known as counter-economics.

Another definition:

Agorism
Agorism is a libertarian social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, thus engaging with aspects of peaceful revolution. It’s basically telling the State to stay out of your life.
- Ayeee, is Agorism Libertarian or what?

- Sorta, but it goes like this — Agorism is a left-libertarian political philosophy that advocates the goal of bringing about a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics.

- So wut, like.. they’re anarchists against the current model of economy and State oppression? This sounds like a counter mf’n economy and a kick in the ass to the State!

- Yeh b, the counter-economy includes the free market, the black market, the “underground economy,” all acts of civil and social disobedience, all acts of forbidden association (sexual, racial, cross-religious), and anything else the state, at any place or time, chooses to prohibit, control, regulate, tax, or tariff.

From the Science Magazine article:

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/us-geoengineering-research-gets-lift-4-million-congress

Fahey also emphasized this is not an approval to move forward with geoengineering. Rather, it’s to prepare the U.S. government for a political decision if the world fails to adequately limit the rise of global warming.
