EPA head Lee Zeldin reveals no real oversight of shocking $20B Biden admin funneled through Citibank: ‘Tip of the iceberg’ (only 5.95 years left)
NY Post ^ | 2/13/25 | Kelly Jane Torrance

Posted on 02/13/2025 11:22:33 PM PST by Libloather

A $20 billion Biden administration green-energy slush fund was collecting interest at a private bank and is being distributed without proper oversight, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin reveals in an exclusive interview.

President Joe Biden’s EPA parked $20 billion at the financial institution, which The Post has learned is Citibank, as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. But the awardees weren’t announced until August 2024 and Citibank not brought in until September — after Biden’s disastrous June debate performance led him to withdraw from re-election in July, making a very different race with Kamala Harris the Democratic nominee.

Zeldin’s team is looking into whether former EPA employees are working at any of the grantees, which include the Opportunity Finance Network (receiving $2.29 billion), where Vice President Laura Silverman says she brings “economic, financial, and social justice to communities,” and the Native CDFI Network ($400 million), which has featured Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a speaker. Power Forward Communities, a $2 billion recipient, has no list of employees on its website — but does have openings for government-affairs VP, communications VP and special assistant.

The others: Climate United Fund (which got the biggest grant, nearly $7 billion), Coalition for Green Capital ($5 billion), Inclusiv ($1.87 billion), Justice Climate Fund ($940 million) and Appalachian Community Capital ($500 million).

Here Lee Zeldin tells The Post’s Kelly Jane Torrance why it was “a high priority for me and my great team to get to the bottom of these questions as quickly as possible.”

This was on our radar during the transition, when the video was posted online at the beginning of December of the Biden EPA political appointee admitting on camera they were “throwing gold bars off the Titanic.”

I am professionally involved in finance, 33 years.

I have for several years warned clients that our economy is likely being built on vast historic amounts of fraud. Well, since Doge I’m very correct.

But, little did I realize that so much taxpayer money was being used as part of the scam.

Bad enough that 40% of GDP comes from fed spending, not counting state and local even! No, it’s worse because apparently much of private gdp has been clandestinely supported by YOUR tax dollars and worse yet, borrowed money!

Be prepared. No way in hell can our gdp grow in the next several years. By reducing waste and spending, that money leaves the economy and creates deflation. Deflation while having benefits, also comes at a painful cost in asset values and unemployment.

Trump has taken over an economic ship going full speed to the rocks. And it was done on purpose

I totally agree with that!
I fear the absolute worst is coming and has been for the last 50 years. It has really accelerated in the last 15 and that includes during Trump 1.[More slowly perhaps but still excessive spending the likes I do not think he even grasped fully.]

So "the fund" is earning interest and keeping it, but the Treasury had to issue national debt in order to make the cash "the fund" put into an account at Citibank. I wonder which interest rate is higher.

If Citibank folds, is "the fund" insured? You know, like FDIC or something like that?

On the other hand, Al Gore would be happy to know that this is happening. Too bad nobody ever invested the money in the "Social Security Lock Box" that Al talked about in 2000.

And it was done on purpose...Yes. Obama et al were fully on board with Cloward Piven with the goal of crashing the entire system then “build back better” under the banner of socialism.

Biden was just along for the ride. As long as he got paid, he was cool with all this intention financial destruction.

“Throwing gold bars off the Titanic…”

And to think all of us suckers actually worked for a living and made useful things and services for our country. We struggle every day and these scumbags steal our gold bars.

Read the Power Forward Communities if you want to get sick to your stomach. It’s obviously a couple person “company” that has “partnered” with companies to 1) save all of us peons money with better appliances and 2) save the children from “pollution.” It’s ironic that the raison d’être for these fake companies who steal us blind is to “save us money for years to come.” The government and their crony fake companies like these have been doing this for decades.

Just LOOK at the amount of money parked at these NOTHING groups in the last days of the Biden Titanic!

***By reducing waste and spending, that money leaves the economy and creates deflation. Deflation while having benefits, also comes at a painful cost in asset values and unemployment***

The last 'deflationary' period of the U.S. was called 'The Great Depression'👈❗ {NOTE the precipitous rise of gold!}

***Trump has taken over an economic ship going full speed to the rocks. And it was done on purpose***

✔👌 I would like to believe that it is a pit trap that can be navigated - but not without pain❗ Beyond question, the Deep State has been preparing this pit trap in case Trump returned to the White House. I predicted it a couple of years ago as I watched the Bitem puppet regime driving the dollar towards ruin.

I think that they thought that, if Trump failed to return, they could continue to play their juggling games to hide the truth for a while: we are headed towards a collapse. The central bank was knee deep in this destruction.
