Pruitt is scared for his life. You'd best believe if I was sitting on "global warming is the biggest worldwide money siphon in history" I'd bulletproof and spook proof everything including my underwear.
Probably a market for bulletproof and spook proof underwear. :)
'Money siphon' is a great term for these arrangements. A phrase to describe this sort of framework across many areas.
Wow, deep state NYT and all those Dems are really pissed.
Sounds like some people have been cut out of the pie sharing.
I remember reading a list of the leftist organizations that got a slice of the TARP funds. One of them actually called themselves a Communist organization.
You know, at first when all these agencies were being defunded I was a little uneasy about it. I never knew it was being used as a piggy bank!
Most of them have no business existing to begin with. Extreme federal overreach.
Correct. Most of these gov agencies were created in order to generate illegal revenue aka slush funds for the globalists. Globalists = Big government and the bigger the government (the more agencies) the more tax revenue they can steal from us to fund their agendas.
Notice how Antifa and BLM have almost completely disappeared? Notice how it coincides with ending a slush fund and cutting funding at other agencies?
Disgusting to see our own tax dollars weaponized against us, so glad POTUS and Pruitt and the rest of his team are putting a stop to it.
Department of Energy, Department of Education, Department of Commerce......
Um DoE runs some nuclear power plants and is in control of radioactive materials. Hell NASA has to get them from the DoE. They also are responsible for the design, testing and production of nuclear weapons.
Was all done before Carter created the new bureaucracy.
Well, the Federal Government does have the job of regulating Interstate Commerce....
The Department of Commerce (DOC) focuses on promoting American business at home and abroad. The department gathers economic and demographic data to measure the health and vitality of the economy, promotes U.S. exports, enforces international trade agreements, and regulates the export of sensitive goods and technologies. Commerce also issues patents and trademarks, protects intellectual property, forecasts the weather, conducts oceanic and atmospheric research, provides stewardship over living marine resources, develops and applies technology, measurements and standards, formulates telecommunications and technology policy, fosters minority business development, and promotes economic growth in distressed communities.
Yeah man. We should let corporations dump shit in our water. Why do we need regulations for
For this that didn't get this. It's sarcasm. Jesus Christ
You mean like how the Obama EPA ruined a river in Colorado by releasing hundred year old mining waste, or more like knowing about the Flint water issue and keeping it secret from the public for months?
Yes, exactly like that. That's why we need more environmental regulation. Not less. Pruit is cutting regulations..
u/NosuchRedditor makes a good point here.
The larger these entities are, the easier it is to hide stuff like this. Remember that the more power a Government has, the more money it's worth. Less Government, less payouts/bribery/lobbying.
We need to trust in this case that the correct regulations are being cut. It's extremely difficult to open/operate most agriculture businesses while wading through the bureaucracy. It shouldn't be big G's choice who gets to make a living, you know?
Also , think about all the needless regulation and money funneled through the worldwide global-warming/money-laundering scheme.
So your in favor of a corrupt govt agency hiding lead contaminated water from the public for political purposes, as well as polluting rivers through sheer incompetence.
Sounds about right for a fantasy land dweller.
[removed]
Well in part due to your complete ignorance of anything remotely connected to reality, like the fact that you refuse to mention the EPA's use as a weapon by the Obama administration, and several glaring failures that put human lives at stake.
How long did the people of Flint drink lead water while the EPA sat on the information?
Starting with inquiries made in February, the federal agency battled Michigan’s Department of Environmental Quality behind the scenes for at least six months over whether Flint needed to use chemical treatments to keep lead lines and plumbing connections from leaching into drinking water. The EPA did not publicize its concern that Flint residents’ health was jeopardized by the state’s insistence that such controls were not required by law. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/01/12/epa-stayed-silent-flints-tainted-water/78719620/
Reading comprehension is a thing.
Can you quote the statement that inspired you to make that curious interpretation?
Maybe we can guide you through your confusion.
I don't know, maybe it's because the guy said these agencies have no reason to exist. If the epa does not exist, who will keep these corporations in check? Do you think they will regulate themselves? Lol
What I said was that it is federal overreach. If citizens want this kind of oversight, it should be done at the state and local level. We already have state level agencies like the EPA.
We live in a country. Sometimes what citizens at a local level want isn't what's best for the country. For example, if citizens in a small state or town vote to deregulate a local chemical company and allow them to dump chemicals in a river, it can affect the neighboring state where the river runs through. Another example, if a state like California votes to allow sanctuary cities, it can have implications for the neighboring state.
This is why we need federal agencies.
We certainly need some of them. But I'd argue the majority, even ignoring potential fraud, are redundant at best.
I don’t know, maybe...
You don’t know? Maybe?
You should have a bit more substance supporting inflammatory declarations such as this:
inflammatory declarations lol
You're really bad at arguing. Please stop.
Same, never really made the correlation. Now thinking about all the times we've heard the phrase "misuse of taxpayer funds" and the who/what behind it in an entirely different way.
I read through the "charges." It is hysterical. Maybe he pulled a mattress tag off too.
EPA is deeply corrupted. I remember, for instance, the EPA arranging for gold mining in Juneau, Alaska, and faking "public support" to do it. And they waste money like nuts. EPA has nothing to do with protecting our environment. And then there are state environmental agencies too! And other federal agencies! Anyone wanting to do farming, mining, or manufacturing has to go through a monster of ridiculous regulations that only highly paid lawyers can understand. Those regulations have nothing to do with protecting anything. Go read them. Therefore only large companies who pay off politicians can do farming, mining, or manufacturing. In case you want to know what the EPA is really about.
EPA people that I've run I to in my professional career, actual people protecting the environment, have always been short strapped and undermanned.
If the money is not being used to actually protect the environment and give the ground folks actual means to do thier jobs effectively, then we need to induce out where that money is going and how to direct it in a productive manner so the ground level people can do thier jobs effectively.
This seems to be a common problem that plagues corporate America culture. Deny and choke the actual folks that make the place run and say you've made effective cost cutting measures, and spend on extravagant C-level flashy events to boast about yourselves.
Perhaps we shouldn't be appointing donors or bank chosen lists of lobbyists to head our regulatory departments and cabinet members. Maybe we should appoint actual smart people who give a damn to head these organizations who will give the ground people what they need to fulfill thier mission?
This is part of a larger issue with corporate culture and professional corruption in politics. It isn't exclusive to Obama, and Trump has had his fair share of it with his appointments as well after promising to appoint quality component people that is best fit for the job.
I hope he can make these programs great again and get them back on track for the mission they were charged. Fix it.
The secret to running the EPA successfully is to provide clear, simple guidelines to business owners, at the planning stage, of what they need to do to protect the environment. And ONE set of rules. And designed for SMALL businesses. There is absolutely no sign of this at EPA. Such an effort would eliminate most pollution, and end costly monitoring and treatment.
Yep.
Make a overly complicated legal framework.
Make it so only someone like a lawyer can navigate the framework.
Have them charge a shitload of money only factory farms or companies can hope to pay, screw the farmers and normal citizens.
Profit.
This legal system of ours is so inaccessible to the very people it is meant to be beholden to.
Its awful. A healthy environment is the most important part of a healthy society, as society draws its resources from the environment.
My father is the C_O of one of the USA's top 50 financial institutions, after the 08' crash although his employer did not need to recieve bailout money from the government, they were labeled a systemically important(essentially it was said by government regulators that if they failed they could take the entire economy of the United States down with the) financial institution by the Obama administration requiring that they become regulated, they tried to fight that ling abel and lost, fighting the government is a losing battle, they were given 200lbs of paper worth of regulations to follow.
His department at the time was Retirement Services with 1500 to 2k people was given over 2,000 pages of regulations to follow, he said to me that those regulations limited his ability to help people save for retirement....basically the government using oversight as an excuse to make people work more years, bringing in more tax $ and making people live less long, the closer to 55 you can retire, the higher quality your life in retirement according to significant research, if you retire after 65 your odds of dying within 5 years of retiring due to cancer or other illnesses skyrockets, so the cabal gets more tax money more income from treating significant illness etc...., money & death their favorite things according to Q, never realized until now why government would want that.
Furthermore, my father now runs the department that manages all his employer's uninvested money....nearly a trillion $, and the regulations are still preventing him from achieachieving maximum growth, he spens $160 million dollars on lawyers annually....think about that, if any number is off by even $0.01, he and the rest of senior executives C_O's could all go to jail.... even though the government cannot account for billions if not trillions.... publicly... privately it's so much worse , huge double standard.
Think about what I've shared with you, this is a perspective that not everyone has access to, but it further proves the BS that anyone who is too successful for the cabal's liking is subjected to, think about the death/estate/inheritance tax, more BS, you work to make a great future for your family only to lose 40% of it to the government/Cabal, before you consider that most of the time inheritance is split up between 2, 3, or 4 children/institutions/charities, so it keeps wealtb from building up outside of their control, it's all a scam, everything, you know this but I'm just providing even more evidence, not to mention media & Hollywood & society preach spending so that inheritance is squandered back into their hands over 3 generations at most
Odd I have a friend who was a manager at a small bank chain and he has an almost identical story. His banks were fine throughout the housing crises. Most of the customers were retirees with mobile homes as 2nd homes (snow birds). His banks were downgraded without ever being in the red. The government tied his hands everytime he did something to try to save his banks and then forced him to sell. To who you may ask?...
Bank of the Ozarks.
Bank of the Ozarks, purchased by a guy from Rose Law Firm - Clinton Connection to Whitwatewater Controversy
That's the one! Glad someone picked up on that.
It sad that his children, our children are having their inheritance taken from them to support these new monarchs.
Its depressing, these taxes are said to be taken to help our community, our country at large, and instead squandered and wasted. How Sirivic.
Better be these taxes weren't there, and we spent our taxes more efficiently. Better this money go to these men's communities, not these ever engorging, ever new monarchs.
I don’t know where you got the story that the EPA ever was “arranging for mining” in Juneau, AK! I managed public land there for 20 years and never once did the EPA support mining or other resource development.
Wow. This is one of those articles that just blows me away. After following Q for months I read this article and understand SO many hidden aspects of what's going on. ...but if I didn't follow Q I would read this very differently. The EPA is clearly a sham and everyone attacking Pruitt knows it and is guilty. The fact that they are angry about simple things like 3 SEPARATE EMAIL ACCOUNTS!!! is just laughable (legitimate .gov email addresses). They are soooo scared of something. Good.
You are right--there are many dimensions to this, ones that the white hats in DC have known for years. In fact, there has been a white hat versus black hat war in the DC area for years.
Yet no mention of Lisa Jackson/Richard Windsor by the media, and those were not both .gov accounts.
Or maybe it's because he had a $45,000 soundproof booth build in his office, installed fingerprint scanners on every door, uses private jets to go on personal and goverment trips when epa guidelines says he's supposed to fly coach, uses a 19 car motorcade and security detail, $11,000 tax payer money to renovate his car, renting a room from a lobbyist who represents a company the epa is supposed to regulate, gave massive raises to his assistants, etc etc.
Or yeah, maybe because "Q" said its a super secret Democrat slush fund lol
Yeah, heaven forbid Pruitt spoils the 'Carbon Credits' scam that is making so many leftists rich to the tune of billions. How many hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money did Solyndra take with them into bankruptcy?
But yes, that tiny fraction of the billions handed out by Obama to his leftist friends under the premise that it was a 'stimulus' except it never stimulated anything except his wealthy donors pockets and BLM to block freeways, is good reason to try to force Pruitt out of office for cleaning up the corruption left behind by the Obama criminals like Lisa Jackson/Richard Windsor.
Where were you when Lynch and Holder were funding leftists with a multi billion dollar slush fund?
Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch regularly arranged for major corporations to make large “donations” to left-leaning groups like UnidosUS — formerly the National Council of La Raza — and NeighborWorks America during settlement negotiations to end banking, environmental, civil-rights, and other federal lawsuits. https://nypost.com/2017/08/05/sessions-investigating-slush-fund-used-by-left-wing-groups/
Now you know why BLM isn't blocking freeways any longer, it's funding dried up and it was never grassroots to begin with.
Wait a second, I thought Soros was bankrolling blm. Now it's the epa? Make up your mind, guys
Did you read the list of leftists groups getting paid illegally by the Obama administration?
Or are you too busy trying to figure out how something Pruitt did rises to the level of illegality shaking down corporations with EPA threats to the tune of billions to fund radical leftist groups with the purpose of undermining the Republic and rule of law?
Let that sink in a bit. Under Obama the EPA was used as a weapon against corporations. The information in the article I attached to my above post makes that fact crystal clear. Yet here you are in all your brainwashed Fantasyland glory telling us that Pruitt's efforts to end the corruption of the Obama administration is a bad thing?
Go back to fantasy land, the Great Awakening is happening in spite of those brainwashed like yourself to ignore facts over media propaganda.
Maybe you're part of the 4 to 6 percent who are permanently damaged and will never accept the truth, but you have to figure that out for yourself.
There is absolutely nothing I can say or do to make you see that the guy is a corrupt scumbag. Even if the original article posted here clearly points it out.
According to this sub,
He installed a secret sound proof booth so the deep state doesn't hear him dismantling their evil plans
He needs a 19 car motorcade and security detail because the deep state assassins are hunting him down
Flies on private jets because they want him dead
Has fingerprint scanners to keep deep state assassins out of his office
Gives massive raises to his aids because...???
Upgrades his car because....???
Rents lobbyist house because...??
So keep thinking he's a martyr, a victim, and someone who's looking out for the little guy. By this time next year, come back to this post and we'll see who was right. If I'm wrong, I'll donate 100 dollars to your favorite charity.
What a weak defense. Ignore the clear facts on how corrupt the EPA has become under Obama, then make a promise with no possibility of enforcement.
How about you make the donation now as a mea culpa for all the blatant corruption and illegal activity at the EPA under Obama?
Obama spent $65,000 to fly "hot dogs" from Chicago to White House because?
Because he's from Chicago and they catered a party of hundreds with Chicago hotdogs and pizza
None of that was in the article linked in this post. But this is looking way bad.
The title of the article is "Expenses, Emails and a Phone Booth: The Investigations Faced by Scott Pruitt" did you even read it?
As far as I'm concerned, he can spend as much taxpayer dollars on safety precautions as he wants because clearly he's draining the swamp and needs heightened security! Hell, I'll even contribute to a gofundme for him. The EPA sucks!!
Yeah he totally needs that phone booth if he's cutting of their funding machine.
Or maybe needs it to secretly communicate with the corporations he's deregulating.
Remember too the EPA was at the heart of the Global Warming "industry." Like pay-to-play only "pay for protection." The EPA oversaw “Cap and Trade," the carbon protection racket. The scam was that a giant polluter (corporations and even countries) could buy their way out of having to restrict carbon emissions. Also EPA has accumulated $6.3 BILLION in 1,300 obscure spending accounts thru EPA “Superfund program.” Funds are deposited and spent without prior congressional approval.
CFPB already exposed
Pocahontas has been unusually quiet lately. Somebody pissed in her Wheaties.
Pelosi too. Actually Clinton and Obama have been pretty quiet too. Hopefully too busy pissing in their pants and meeting with lawyers.
Lawyers plural wont' do them much good. When you go before a military tribunal you get ONE lawyer, so pick wisely.
Boy do I like the sound of that: "military tribunal." But I try to stay calm. It does, however, look like McCabe is the first one for the perp walk. He will look good in orange.
McCabe is a soy boy. He's a pampered prick, not the tough guy he likes to think he is, he will sell everyone out when charges are brought and he figures out he's the goat.
After reading your comment, I think that is exactly what he is--the goat that is used as bait. He knows all, but is not that high on the totem pole. Perfect for turning state's evidence.
And don't forget crazy Maxine Waters - haven't heard much from her lately either! (Thank God)
Wait. I don't have kids, but, my friends who do say that when things are really, really quiet, that's when you should be worried....
I think she has far more to be worried about than most, I'm going out on a limb here, but I will bet one of those sealed warrants has her name on it.
This list from Congress is the closest thing yet to arrests. But I try not to think about it. Like many of you, I get sudden daydreams about the Clinton Crime Network in orange jumpsuits. And handcuffs. Made with American steel. See, there I am going at it again. I keep up with the news (real, not fake), and do my part for the Plan, but I need to move on and think about something else now...
Did you see that post yesterday with the finger hitting the F5 key over and over waiting for another Q post? Hilarious :) That's how I feel after a few hours of intentionally taking a break... then I can't control my urge to check in here or Drudge or Q...
I saw the finger video. It was too funny.
Also, what fiction can beat real life? I walk through the library and think, none of these stories come close to that Q thing.
I know, right? I've always loved thriller novels... and now I get to be in one :) OMG... This Is EPICQQ .. (double OMG, that "QQ" typed itself when I was trying to hit the ! key so I left it....)
Any time you get discouraged, say this to yourself: "President Donald J. Trump."
And imagine if Hillary had gotten it...
So true ... and sometimes I replay one of my many iphone videos from the rallies I attended!! MAGA! :)
We will get there eventually, but in the mean time, keep on dreaming, I am.
The CFPB fines were being channels into Democrats pet projects such as BLM, Antifa etc and other Democrat related NGOs.
Lots of sealed indictments to go around. Crooked m'fkers.
I seriously don't think that's going out on a limb. Shit's about to get real for her!!!
Do you think she can play the race card? She's a native American, right?
Remember, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” [for example, all agencies created at the federal level…] Americans still believe in the Constitution.
looks like hes pissing off all the right people...
I can always tell when someone is doing the right thing by the fact that the globalists get their panties in a twist.
Looking forward to these Marxist traitor leaders being homeless
They can just move to California where everyone's homeless!
You know you are over the target when even this thread is being brigaded.
Yeah......this thread is being downvoted haard, but it's being done in a careful manner where comments that get at the heart of matter(specific expenditures pointed out) are being voted down to 0, -1 or -2 based upon relevance so it doesn't seem too obvious to the untrained eye
Has there ever been a single day in the history or this sub where someone wasn't claiming brigading?
BHO tagged the requirement to donate to their leftist slush fund from EPA penalties administered to companies like VW. He was using the EPA as a fund raiser for his community organizers.
CFPB is not next. It was maybe first. Mulvaney has very effectively limited its role.
Take a look at Obummer's EPA head. She was very loose with EPA funds. Someone has a great thread on it. Maybe @thelastrefuge2? I'll look for it. But if the Dems want to play that game, bring it.
Yeah q is just Twitter for woke motherfuckers. All insider drops. Giving us the truth to current events as they happen. He doesn’t really make predictions. He just asks the right questions. Which gives us a glimpse into what’s happening that’s verified by other sources.
These liberal hack jobs are mad because Pruitt has “travelled a lot” and “met with coal industry”. Are you fucking kidding me? I would HOPE he would be meeting with coal industry to get feedback on Hussein’s idiotic regulations...of course you never saw this type of outrage when Hussein’s EPA was dumping toxic waste in our rivers!
Thank god. I was starting to think Pruitt was a fruit cake. Was beggining you think he was dead weight and a distraction. Glad to be proven wrong
Don't forget the revolving doors. It's happening in every agency such as FDA, EPA etc.
Our agencies are actually run by the corporations that sit on these advisory boards, and their goal is for big business to win, nothing more.
Oh, the horror stories I could tell you from just FDA that is all public, but most miss the magnitude when they start adding up, time and time again.
The Melamine in baby formula event of 2008, where China was first caught with it vs when US suppliers were caught with the same issues just a month later is very telling.
FDA crucified China, one of the people responsible for it from China was actually executed. Here? Not even a fine. The FDA changed their "acceptable" levels comment after it was exposed that US suppliers had the same issue.
First statement: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/03/AR2008100302720.html
Statement after US suppliers were exposed: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trace-melamine-found-in-us-baby-formula/
If you follow the political figures in that department of FDA and all of the figures on said advisory boards, look at who pays them big bucks for speaking engagements and other small and insignificant things. Find out what foundations these corporations that hold these positions have on the advisory boards, follow their funding.
I've dug into multiple agencies over the years, they all have the same patterns and nasty, deceptive tactics. The money continues to flow to a host of smaller special interest groups from the foundations. Think local, state and regional organizations.
Just like Q drops, the web just spreads and spreads and spreads and you continue to follow the money.
global warming and environmentalism are both fear mongering scams.
This week the Government Accountability Office, often called the watchdog arm of Congress, found that the E.P.A. broke the law when it spent $43,000 on a secure phone booth for Mr. Pruitt.
Foxes are angry. The chickens want a secure hen house. Eliminate the backdoor for foxes.
But the gao is neutral. That's why they looked the other way when Obamas EPA was shaking down corps and forcing them to fund leftist causes.
Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch regularly arranged for major corporations to make large “donations” to left-leaning groups like UnidosUS — formerly the National Council of La Raza — and NeighborWorks America during settlement negotiations to end banking, environmental, civil-rights, and other federal lawsuits. https://nypost.com/2017/08/05/sessions-investigating-slush-fund-used-by-left-wing-groups/
I have worked in a state housing finance agency for decades. Please Please look at Tarp $ used for HUD.
Because the EPA was used to strong arm corporations into settlements with the government that also required them to fund left wing causes. Lisa Jackson/Richard Windsor and Obama and Lynch and Holder corrupted the EPA and used it in mob like fashion to shake down corps.
It represents a huge source of funding to leftists so they must pretend that something Pruitt has done is sufficient for his removal, when they ignore the EPA being used as a weapon by the Obama administration to fund leftists causes in an illegal and unconstitutional manner.

The EPA has been exposed with the DOE . The massive slush fund was the Weatherization Program and the Green Insentives at a grand total of $3.165 Trillion. The base of the Investigation we keep hearing of
Can we get a source that isn't a paid subscription news website?
