Did Gold Bars Wind up in Jackson?

 Did the EPA funnel taxpayers funds to Cooperation Jackson?  

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced last week 

the agency has found billions of taxpayer dollars parked at a financial institution by the Biden-Harris Administration. Administrator Zeldin is calling for termination of the financial agent agreement, and for the immediate return of the entire fund balance to the United States Treasury to ensure EPA oversight. Administrator Zeldin also announced that he will be referring this matter to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and Congress, and the agency will work with the U.S. Department of Justice. Announcement

Mr. Zeldin followed up with a tweet: 

The Biden EPA tossed $20 billion of “gold bars off the Titanic”. BIG UPDATE! We found the gold bars and they are now being recovered for you, the hardworking American taxpayer
 

Who was supposed to get the gold bars in question? MSN reported:

Last April, the Biden EPA said the organizations would oversee the awarding of grants to groups and communities for projects ranging from home energy retrofitting to off-grid renewable energy in communities that have lacked access to green financing.

As part of the actions authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act and bipartisan infrastructure bill, the aim was to kickstart projects over the next seven years to reduce or avoid up to 40 million metric tons of climate pollution annually.

Some of that funding in included $50 million for the Climate Justice Alliance.  The organization's website states its mission is: 

uniting frontline communities and organizations into a formidable force. Our translocal organizing strategy and mobilizing capacity is building a Just Transition away from extractive systems of production, consumption and political oppression, and towards resilient, regenerative and equitable economies. We believe that the process of transition must place race, gender and class at the center of the solutions equation in order to make it a truly Just Transition. website

 CJA planned to distribute the $50 million "gold bars" to its member organizations . Who might one of those be?  



Our old friends at Cooperation Jackson.  So how much our money wound up in the coffers of the Poor People's Campaign, Cooperation Jackson, and the People's Advocacy Institute? Inquiring minds want to know.

This is how the extreme minority of the left pays to get large numbers of professional protesters. They don’t have the real numbers so they used media lies, manipulated social media, paid protesters aka astroturfing, and also massive voter fraud, to make their numbers appear legitimate.
The dying media didn’t care because it was getting money too. Social media has huge contracts to provide the government access to surveillance. Now all the money pipelines are getting cut off and we can see the extent of the damage to democracy (treason) that the democrats were committing.

Can't Rukia pay her taxes with gold bars?

The auditing is producing fantastic results. May they recover every last penny.

2 Cooperation Jackson entities show up on the secretary of state's website. One was dissolved in 2022 and the other was dissolved in 2019. Sacajawea Hall was involved in one and Adofo Minko was involved with the other, according to the secretary of state's filings.

What an ABSOLUTE WASTE of taxpayer money.

From the Cooperation Jackson website-

"The Kuwasi Balagoon Center is the coordinating base for Cooperation Jackson, its overall operations and administrative offices. The primary function of the Balagoon Center is to host the various cooperative development activities of the organization including, community orientation meetings, general membership meetings, working group meetings, trainings and skill shares.

We’ve renamed the Center in honor of Kuwasi Balagoon who embodies the vision and work of Cooperation Jackson. Kuwasi Balagoon is a New Afrikan anarchist / Vietnam War vet / former NYC Tenant Organizer / a queer Black man / Black Panther Party for Self-Defense BPPSD member who was forced underground due to heightened state repression and framing of BPPSD members [see: cointelpro / Panther 21 case]. Balagoon became a Black Liberation Army member who lived an uncompromising life in every way shape and form. he was a citizen of the Republic of New Afrika, and did everything in his power to "Free the Land" and actualize the collective vision of a Black Nation. he broke out of jail and prison multiple times, also freed comrades from the walls multiple times. the monies expropriated from the banks were used to fund the breakfast and health programs of the Black Panther Party and the Young Lord Party. People who knew Kuwasi say that he was never in the closet about his sexuality, in a time when that wasn't socially acceptable."

They just found $500+ billion in social security checks going to democrats born in the 19th century. Recipients between the ages of 120-140 years old. Literal demon worshipping vampires.

Anonymous said...

Imagine getting any tax dollars to open the Dr. William Luther Pierce Library of European-American History or the David Duke European-American Health and Fitness Center (He’s ripped and swole btw)

Anonymous said...

Having read Balagoon's Wikipedia piece, I shudder to think that his violent anarchist views have been embraced by any organization that operates here in Jackson or elsewhere. Good grief, is this part of the Lumumba legacy? I'm hoping that at worst it's the sort of thing one would expect from ideologs who didn't get enough love when they were children. Or will there be bombings and Brink's trucks robberies? (Joking, kinda. This whole New Afrika thing is a will-of-the-wisp that will inevitably disappear.) Meanwhile, it should NOT be getting government funding.

I guess this is in addition to the $93 million that the EPA gave to Hope Enterprise (Arkansas entity, but with large focus on Mississippi Delta) for the installation of solar panels on poor people's homes - and that too was recinded by the EPA last week.

The end of Every such transaction is crime by someone politically connected. No other reason!

Democrats and their lapdogs are seething about “their” money being found, that’s why they’re everywhere crying about it and trying to block this administration.

I searched usaspending.gov for Cooperation Jackson & didn't find anything useful. It's a pretty good site for finding any federal government contracts, grants & payments of any kind to any group / corporation. But others may have better search skills.

From what I’ve seen, the money was never lost or stolen, it was spent on things Trump doesn’t agree with. Hell, some of the fraudulent spending Doge pointed out were projects Trump passed during his last term. Most of Ivanka’s initiatives apparently turned out to be DEI “fraud.”

Anonymous said...

Can he start clawing back social security checks next? Old people don’t need government handouts. They all voted for Trump to end the wasteful spending so I’m sure they will gladly volunteer to cut their wasteful spending.

Anonymous said...

Yes...well...that most of the money is still there to be retrieved despite the website to look for funding for government contracts,etc. " Is Your Hint" ( you have to have some time on earth to get the reference).

Anonymous said...

@1:56 - they thought they did, it turned out they didn’t know how to read the database they were looking at. They haven’t retracted their statement, since they don’t care about deceiving us, but they didn’t find what they claimed about all the 150 year olds receiving checks.

This is probably going to turn out like the fake social security fraud they found last week. Turns out, Elon is an idiot incapable of doing this job. Too bad he’s the only one chosen and there won’t be any oversight by people who actually know how these systems work.

Anonymous said...

Elon is a lot of things, but he is not an idiot. He is just asking logical questions just like we would if we were given the keys to all the payment systems in the federal government.

Says the same people who told us “15 days to flatten the curve” and also that that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Sorry but your side has serious credibility issues. Plus every agency has openly stated they will obfuscate and fight DOGE.

Ok, some are trying to now turn this into a trash Tesla thread. Give it up. Stick to subject of post.

4:16 - I would be more than willing to do that if the money would be used to buy back our children's and grandchildren's future ($36 trillion they're on the hook for).

I'm planning on volunteering right after you hand your chump change of income over.

I think it would go a long way if those dishing out govt funds had a duty to check out the recipient organizations in depth.

It really wouldn't take much digging to learn that the Lumumbas are Black Nationalists, children of a co-founder of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. It boggles my mind that anyone with professional credibility to hitch their wagon to a Lumumba.

Instead, it seems like we just trust that everyone has their hand out in good faith.

All right! Left wing, fall out! Grab your socks and drop your . . . well, just fall in, then.

I know getting the clods is apart of your shtick Jamie, but you know better than this. I thought you were trying to be a serious reporter and you go this Clay Edwards route, every time. I know it's rough out here. I was just in town and boy those groceries were high. There are better ways of making money, though. Be better.

February 17, 2025 at 4:30 PM, do you have a reputable source for that post?

Anonymous said...

@5:51 - yes, now ask why hasn’t Elon posted the proof he guaranteed would be released by Valentine’s Day and why are you taking his word at face value when he’s a proven liar? Just look at the total number of payees in Social Security, you want me to believe over half is going to dead people? They also have a system that automatically cuts off payment after 115 in case all the other checks fail. There’s zero chance Elons lies are true.

Maybe we could do something for them, like forgive their student loans? Just a thought to consider.

You actually believe they found $500 billion is sea fraud? I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
