DOGE

This is why DOGE is necessary.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin and the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency announced the discovery last week that the Biden-Harris administration parked roughly $20 billion at an outside financial institution as part of a scheme "purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight."

In the days since, Zeldin has raised questions about one of the intended recipients of the funds — a new nonprofit linked to a staunch ally of the former president and vice president, failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.

The Abrams-linked nonprofit, Power Forward Communities, was founded in 2023 by several groups, including Rewiring America, a climate alarmist outfit focused on electrifying American homes and businesses. Abrams serves as senior counsel at Rewiring America, and she made clear online in October 2023 that she was an engaged player in Rewiring America and the PFC "coalition."

The PFC also counts among its partners at least two leftist nonprofits founded by Abrams, the Tides Center-sponsored Southern Advancement Project and Fair Count.

The Biden EPA reportedly awarded the Abrams-linked group a $2 billion grant in April 2024 as part of its $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Program, which was created under the Inflation Reduction Act.

PFC was one of only eight awardees.

The New York Post highlighted that PFC received the $2 billion grant one month after Abrams pushed back against calls for Biden to drop out of the presidential race, stressing in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution op-ed that Democrats' "path to victory lies in standing by Biden."

"As we continue to learn more about where some of this money went, it is even more apparent how far-reaching and widely accepted this waste and abuse has been," Zeldin told the Beacon. "It's extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That's 20 million times the organization's reported revenue."

Neither PFC nor Abrams reportedly responded to the Washington Beacon's requests for comment.

Zeldin noted on X Wednesday night, "Stacey Abrams' Power Forward Communities received $2 BILLION to be a pass through entity for Biden EPA's $20 billion 'gold bar' scheme."

PFC is hardly the only Abrams-linked organization to find itself at the center of a controversy in recent months.

Last month, two groups founded by Abrams that sided with alleged domestic terrorists in 2023 were slapped with what the Georgia State Ethics Commission indicated was both the largest fine it has ever imposed and possibly also "the largest Ethics Fine ever imposed by any State Ethics Commission in the country related to an election and campaign finance case."

A federal judge on Feb. 24 blocked two agencies from sharing sensitive information with Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staff.

"The U.S. Department of Education; Denise L. Carter, the Acting Secretary of Education; and their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys are ENJOINED from disclosing the personally identifiable information of the plaintiffs and the members of the plaintiff organizations to any DOGE affiliates," U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman wrote in a 33-page order.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and its employees are also forbidden from disclosing the same information to DOGE workers, the judge said.

The temporary restraining order is in effect until March 10 as the case proceeds. It could be extended, converted into a preliminary injunction, or allowed to expire.

Its all good. Trump and Elons chain saw will cut through this judge too!

The Gates Foundation claims to fund global development, but in reality, its grants are just one step in a cycle that ultimately enriches Bill Gates and his allies.

Investigations by the Department of Government Efficiency have uncovered widespread waste and misappropriation of public funds at the U.S. Agency for International Development, with money being funneled into woke propaganda and other questionable initiatives. In response, Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation have aggressively defended USAID and its $50 billion annual budget, which continues with little oversight despite opposition from most American voters.

Gates appeared on "The View" to emphasize USAID's importance, highlight his foundation's frequent partnerships with the agency, and express concern over the DOGE's audit of USAID spending. He also criticized the Trump administration's freeze on funding during the investigation, claiming the pause could endanger "millions of lives."

One of the key revelations from the DOGE's investigation is the extent to which USAID is the Gates Foundation and the Gates Foundation is USAID.

 Gates presents their relationship as a public-private partnership dedicated to saving lives. In reality, it functions more like a money-laundering scheme — one that "cleans" both wealth and power for people like Gates while sustaining thousands of projects, employees, and placeholders in organizations that rely entirely on a circular flow of public funds. These funds are redirected by uniparty operatives, who, of course, also benefit from the system.

A quick search of the Gates Foundation website reveals 14 separate grants from the foundation to USAID, totaling millions of dollars. A deeper dive shows that since the Gates Foundation was established, as much as $4 billion has flowed from the foundation into projects directly controlled by USAID or USAID-Gates Foundation partnerships. This might sound like Gates generously funding lifesaving initiatives out of the kindness of his heart — but that's not the whole story.

At the same time the Gates Foundation directs money to USAID, USAID sends money back to the foundation or to organizations like GAVI, the vaccine alliance Gates founded with an initial $750 million investment. Gates maintains significant influence over GAVI and other recipients, ensuring the money circulates between these entities before a significant portion ultimately returns to him.

When the funds are in the Gates Foundation, GAVI, or a USAID-affiliated project, Gates can claim he has given his share away. But these same organizations then make purchases from pharmaceutical, agribusiness, and green energy companies — many of which Gates holds private investments in.

Gates has directed $4 billion in so-called charitable giving toward USAID-controlled programs over the past two decades. Yet in just one year, GAVI received $4 billion back from USAID. Jon Fleetwood describes this vast money circulation as a system that transforms Gates' private interests into "noble philanthropy" while triggering a fresh cycle of USAID funding. Public funds spent by the federal government match and eventually surpass the original donations, fueling an ever-expanding financial loop.

USAID is frequently involved in laundering taxpayer money through projects that support globalist strategic interests, which might not always align with the stated goals of development or poverty alleviation ... Gates' GAVI was one of the top recipients of USAID grants in 2024, according to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. The association shared a screenshot indicating USAID awarded GAVI $4 billion for that year alone.
GAVI then uses that USAID money to buy vaccines from companies in which Gates has private investments or redirects the funds back to the Gates Foundation. Whether the money directly profits Gates or strengthens his financial network, the transactions remain largely concealed beneath the claim that this circular flow of funds is "saving lives."

Even without absurd expenditures like funding transgender opera performances in the third world or more insidious activities such as sponsoring regime change under CIA direction, USAID spending remains deeply problematic. Powerful organizations and individuals like Bill Gates benefit from these funds while claiming to donate money, creating a fraudulent money-laundering scheme. Taxpayers, who never had the opportunity to consent to their dollars being used this way, are ultimately the ones footing the bill.

The Internal Revenue Service is reportedly cutting 40,000 of its 90,000-person workforce, according to sources that spoke to the Associated Press.

The report cited people with knowledge of the plan who asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to release details. President Donald Trump has said that he plans to reduce taxes imposed on citizens by replacing revenue through tariffs imposed on foreign imports.

The reduction in the IRS workforce is part of the mission of the Department of Government Efficiency to shrink the size of government.

Former IRS commissioner John Koskinen told the AP that if the plan was carried out, it would render the IRS "dysfunctional." Koskinen faced fierce criticism from Republicans over allegations that the IRS targeted conservative organizations during his time as commissioner under the Obama administration.

President Donald Trump said he told his Cabinet secretaries during a meeting Thursday that staffing decisions will be left up to them, not Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump said he instructed Cabinet members to work alongside DOGE on spending and workforce reductions while clarifying that final job cuts will be at the discretion of the department leaders.
