Activist Groups Influence Energy Policy in Biden Administration
Liberty Nation ^ | 05 May 2024 | John Klar

A recent subcommittee hearing before the House Committee on Natural Resources heard testimony regarding alleged influence by unelected non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on important federal government policy decisions. The Biden administration was called out for permitting activist environmental groups, many funded by billionaires and the Chinese Communist Party, to inappropriately influence US energy policy at the Department of the Interior. Committee members are investigating the degree to which Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland and others are working with green activist groups to shape policies that undermine the decision-making of state and federal officials, divert oil production to less eco-friendly sources overseas, undermine US energy independence and fuel price stability, and deprive some Native American tribes of vital economic income.

Biden Leaning on Leftists

Certainly, President Joe Biden has welcomed far-left voices into every aspect of his administration, embracing transgenderism, racial “equity,” sexual orientation, and climate alarmism. His USDA has allocated resources solely on the basis of race and gender, his EPA emissions rules threaten to destroy US car manufacturing, and his SEC regulations for climate reporting depart from that agency’s traditional role in protecting investors. To this list must be added the Department of Interior, which is particularly entangled with “green new deal” ideologies.

The subcommittee summarized these concerns in its memo:

“The Biden administration is beholden to activist nonprofit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly those aligned with leftist social and environmental justice agendas … Under Secretary Haaland, the Department of the Interior (DOI) has cultivated intimate and potentially improper relationships with radical NGOs driving the Biden administration’s extreme environmental agenda.”

The memo alleged that Biden and Democrat candidates benefited from more than $320 million in “dark money” from nonprofits in 2020, including $145 million for Biden’s candidacy alone...

I’m guessing that most of these NGO’s pocket a good portion of the money they are donated.

The important take away is despite commies, Marxists and islamists destroying our nation-

radical left wing activists are behind it but the two giant commie nation states called Russia and China have not a thing to do with any of it (ignore that the CCP is explicitly listed here) and Old Mother Hubbard really lives in a shoe.

And the origin of it all and biggest influencer... The Sierra Club. It has been a communist front and promoter since the 50s.
