Since his confirmation as the Secretary of Energy on Feb. 3,
#Chris #Wright has outlined an
anti-climate agenda.

Speaking to conservative audiences, he is charismatic, animated and zealous.

Wright dismissed the transition to renewable energy as nonexistent in a Feb. 18 speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference,
a gathering associated with the podcast host Jordan Peterson,
and called global efforts to boost the use of renewables, which he said drive up the price of energy, “lunacy.”

This is the same guy who told the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources:
“It is a global issue. It is a real issue. It’s a challenging issue. And the solution to climate change is to evolve our energy system.
I am for improving all energy technologies that can better human lives and reduce emissions.”

US watchdog to investigate Musk ‘Doge’ team’s access to payment systems

Treasury inspector general to launch audit as judge mulls whether access to sensitive data was unconstitutional

Loren Sciurba,
the treasury’s deputy inspector general,
said the audit would review the past two years of the system’s transactions
to examine Musk’s claim that his team has uncovered evidence of billions of dollars of fraudulent payments.

She said the audit
– launched in response to demands from the Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden
– would begin immediately and
👉take until August to complete.

Its launch coincided with a judge in Washington considering a legal suit
lodged by Democratic attorneys general from 14 states,
arguing that Doge’s work was illegal on the alleged grounds that Trump violated the US constitution
💥by creating a federal government department without congressional approval.

The attorneys general argue that Musk has exercised “virtually unchecked power”
by entering government agencies and ordering sweeping cuts without oversight or authorization from Congress.

#USAid, the government foreign assistance agency, has been shuttered on his authority
and its workforce put on leave,
although a judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift the funding freeze it has imposed on the agency’s humanitarian work.

The suit, led by
New Mexico’s justice department,
alleges that Doge has “unraveled federal agencies, accessed sensitive data, and caused widespread disruption for state and local governments, federal employees, and the American people”.

A separate hearing in a court in New York was due
over whether to extend a temporary block on the Doge team entering the #payments #system
that was imposed in an interim ruling last Saturday by Judge #Paul #Englemayer.

Musk called for Englemayer’s impeachment after that ruling,
while JD Vance, the vice-president, wrote in a social media most that judges were not allowed to interfere with a president’s “legitimate power”
– a view contested by most constitutional law experts.

On Friday, Judge #Jeannette #Vargas extended the temporary block, though she said she would not yet rule on whether there should be a longer lasting preliminary injunction prohibiting Doge’s access to the treasury payment system.

Swingeing cuts continued apace despite the plethora of legal challenges.

Federal agency heads were ordered to fire most recent hires who have not completed their probation period – a move likely to affect about 200,000 workers, the Washington Post reported.

The treasury department audit coincided with a call from #Chris #Murphy, Democratic senator for Connecticut,
for an official investigation into the “legality and scope” of Musk’s penetration of the federal bureaucracy.

“Musk and his aides are subject to various conflict of interest statutes which prohibit federal employees from participating in matters that impact their own financial interests,”
Murphy wrote to the US government comptroller general, #Eugene #Dodaro.

He added: “It is imperative the public understands whether Musk and his aides have complied with the law
and whether highly sensitive data could be at risk if accessed by private actors who seek to benefit from the information illegally,
or worse, by foreign adversaries who wish to attack this country.”

Murphy’s letter to Dodaro came as HuffPost reported that Doge had publicly #posted #classified #information about the size and staff of a US intelligence agency – the National Reconnaissance Office – on its new website.

The exposure reportedly left some “scrambling to check if their info has been accessed”,
according to one Defense Intelligence Agency employee who spoke with HuffPost.

Despite the rising resistance to its activities,
the US #armed #services were preparing a list of weapons systems to be cut
in preparation for Doge casting its gaze over the #Pentagon, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Members of Musk’s team were expected to visit the Pentagon on Friday.

💥“People are offering up things sacrificially, hoping that will prevent more cuts,” a defence official told the Journal.

The army was said to be volunteering cutting outdated drones and vehicles,
while the navy is proposing cuts to frigates and littoral combat ships.

FAA Leader Quit Before D.C. Plane Crash—Thanks to Elon Musk

The administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, #Michael #Whitaker, resigned from his position on January 20
-- after repeated demands from Elon Musk that he quit,
-- leaving the agency without a Senate-confirmed leader during a major crisis in the wake of the D.C. plane crash.

Musk called for Whitaker’s resignation in September after the FAA chief proposed fining Musk’s company SpaceX over $600,000 in civil penalties for failing to follow license requirements during two launches in 2023.

Whitaker told a congressional panel at the time that fines were “the only tool we have to get compliance on safety matters.”

The tech CEO and fascism enthusiast repeatedly attacked Whitaker from his X account,
claiming in one post that the FAA was “harassing SpaceX.”

Musk also replied to an X poster who said the FAA “should not exist” and attacked Whitaker for preventing his goal of colonizing Mars.

“The fundamental problem is that humanity will forever be confined to Earth unless there is radical reform at the FAA!” Musk posted in a reply to Australian YouTuber Marcus House.

FAA administrators typically serve for a five-year term,
but Whitaker only served for one year,
replacing Trump appointee Stephen Dickson in 2022.

Whitaker had been confirmed by a bipartisan 98–0 Senate vote in October 2023.

On Wednesday, a commercial American Airlines flight collided with an Army helicopter above Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.,
killing everyone on board both aircraft.

Since January 20, the head of the FAA has been deputy FAA administrator #Chris #Rocheleau,
who was only sworn in last week, giving him a stiff learning curve early on the job.

When Whitaker announced in December that he would resign, he told FAA staff in an email,

“The United States is the safest and most complex airspace in the world, and that is because of your commitment to the safety of the flying public.”

Wednesday’s disaster will certainly raise questions as to whether something went wrong in air safety protocols and whether disruption at the agency contributed to the crash.

Bilderberg Group changes itself for the modern world – and return of Trump

Several of Bilderberg's 31-member steering committee have senior roles in the defence industry.
The billionaire former Google boss, #Eric #Schmidt, chaired the recent National Security Commission on AI,
and is now busy launching a kamikaze drone company aimed at the lucrative Ukraine market.
Meanwhile, the hugely wealthy Swedish industrialist #Marcus #Wallenberg is chair of defense manufacturer #Saab, which enjoyed a 71% boost in orders in the first nine months of 2024, largely due to the war with Russia.
The tech luminary and Donald Trump insider #Peter #Thiel founded the fast-growing robotics company #Anduril and the booming surveillance and AI giant #Palantir.
His loyal lieutenant #Alex #Karp, the CEO of Palantir, was voted on to the board of Bilderberg a few years ago.
Karp, who claims his company is “responsible for most of the targeting in Ukraine”, recently told the New York Times that the US will “very likely” soon be fighting a three-front war with China, Russia and Iran.
In some respects, the geopolitical mood today is not so different from how it was in the 1950s, when Bilderberg was born.

Top of the agenda at the first meeting in 1954 was “the attitude towards communism and the Soviet Union”,
with the “strictly confidential” conference report referring repeatedly to “the communist threat”.
Seventy years later, at the most recent summit in Madrid, the primary threat is “Russia”,
which sat grimly at the foot of the conference agenda underneath “Ukraine and the world”, and “the future of warfare”.

In 1954, the alliance was facing “the emergence ofcommunist imperialism”.
In 2024, it’s up against what Stoltenberg calls “the emerging axis of autocrats”, headed by Russia, China and North Korea.

#Stoltenberg and his successor as secretary general, #Rutte, were both at this summer’s Madrid meeting.
Joining them in the conference hall were a clutch of high-up Pentagon officials and Nato’s second most senior military leader,
US general #Chris #Cavoli, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
It was Cavoli’s second conference, and he’s not the first Saceur to attend the talks: they’ve been coming along to strategise since the mid-60s.
Bilderberg has always had close links with the military:
its founders included senior members of British and American intelligence,
and a previous Nato leader, #Lord #Carrington, chaired the group from 1990 to 1998.

Even the shamefaced resignation of its founding chair, #Prince #Bernhard of the Netherlands, had a military twist:
he was caught up in the Lockheed bribery scandal of 1976, the only year (pre-Covid) that the conference was cancelled.
And it’s telling that arguably the most dominant figure at Bilderberg in the last several decades was the grand strategist and warmonger, #Henry #Kissinger, who was lauded as a foreign policy genius by some and despised as a mass-murdering war criminal by others.
