Biden’s EPA mysteriously stockpiling military-grade equipment

American Military News by  Timothy Frudd  January 03, 2024

A resurfaced report that initially flew under the radar claims that President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has spent millions of dollars in taxpayer funding to stockpile military-grade equipment and weaponry.

In a letter sent to the EPA in September, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, wrote, “As of September 14, 2023, the Biden administration EPA has already spent $2,892,770 on these items, which is 143 percent more than what was spent during the entire Trump administration.”

According to The Washington Free Beacon, Grassley has been leading an oversight probe regarding the EPA’s spending on military-grade equipment, guns, and ammunition. The Iowa senator has described the EPA’s actions as “frightening.”

The congressional investigation into the EPA followed a report from a government watchdog organization that discovered non-law enforcement federal agencies had spent almost $4 billion since 2006 in taxpayer funding to purchase “military-style equipment,” guns, and ammunition.

This is such USSR-type behavior. First, IRS agents armed to the teeth, now the people whose job pretty much is testing water samples for dangerous chemicals.

If Mr. Trump is lucky enough to win re-election, and if he REALLY wants to start cutting into the Deep State, as head of the Executive Branch (under which all these agencies operate, is that not correct?) he should order the DE-MILITARIZATION of these departments, removing their military-based equipment, disbanding their SWAT teams, etc.

Again, will he not have the executive authority to order such changes?

Actually, some of these departments could be severely reduced in size and scope as well.

It is a return to olden days. We are living the 'Wild wild West'. There is no law except the Law you make.
They have gone way far beyond their initial purpose. They are now in OUR face.

When i consider the number of false flag operations I have suspected over the years (some were, some ?, some not), I can see how a few military grade items could produce all the environmental disasters that any intent actor might want to produce. Most energy infrastructure is not hardened, because who would want the pipeline to blow up, the tank farm to catch on fire, or the power to go out?, right? DO NOT Let them in without inspecting contents of backpacks, bags, etc., and have an escort at all times as they go through your facility. Tell 'em HSE sent you.

Even back in the early 1980's I remember dealing with outright militant bat shit crazy EPA agents. I can only imagine now.....  and now give them military grade weaponry?  Think Barney Fife with a grenade launcher.

Yeah, if you ever visit a typical federal office, all you see are hundreds and hundreds of cube drones writing reports nobody ever reads or "working on next years' budget.  Busy work, at best.  And those who are not in the office are usually at some conference on the taxpayers' dime, generally once a month.

So yeah, the agencies could be cut down in size by over half and nobody would ever notice.

First they came for the gas ranges and there was no widespread outrage, then for the gas dryers and no one spoke up, but one day soon some loony leftist will posit that that electric hair dryers cause brain cancer and demand their removal...and finally the masses will rise! never come between a woman and her hair dryer

Commie green  movement and IRS weaponized along with ATF, our one party socialisttype government under the messiah-king Biden, promised to save us from Trump, on the road paved to hell.  Those that supported Biden, now PRETENDING they don't know him, but go blame Trump.  What fools these mortals be!
