EXCLUSIVE: “U.S. Military is Government’s Biggest Offending Polluter!”

by STEVE SPACEK

Washington DC, January 16--NEWS FLASH EXCLUSIVE

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, President-elect Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services Secretary, wrote a 2003 CHICAGO TRIBUNE article, asserting the U.S. Military--based in northern Virginia at The Pentagon-- is the "American Government's Biggest, Most Offending Polluter." Kennedy also told the media his intention to work alongside Defense aspirant Pete Hegseth to “Clean Up the Pentagon” and long-attributed, unchecked waste dumping, taxpayer-dollar abuses, performance frauds and in-house personnel corruption. Kennedy also said a future operational mantra he'll pursue upon Defense will be known as #MakeThePentagonCleanAgain!

This information comes as Senate committees deliberate Kennedy and Hegspeth’s fate as Trump prepares to be installed the 47th President, said Steve Spacek, Director of the American State Litter Scorecard (litterscorecard.com) and a Washington D.C.-based Public Performance Specialist.

Both Kennedy and Hegspeth personally contacted Spacek by written electronic communication the last few weeks, confirming the above statements. Spacek notified Kennedy and Hegspeth that he would let the public know of their intents to serve the American public in these capacities through press, such as this story.

The Defense Department ("DoD"), which consumes over half of all Federal Budgetary spending, is the only agency consistently unable to pass an independent audit, despite the fact all other Federal agencies have been required to conduct annual audits since 1990, asserts Iowa Republican Senator Charles Grassley.

For years, the DoD has resisted binding "final orders" from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to clean up military bases where toxic chemicals pose "imminent and substantial" dangers to public health. They included Fort Meade in Maryland, Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida and McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. The EPA also accused the Defense Department for allowing citizens in communities across America living near DoD properties to drink water with "forever chemicals" content levels far higher than EPA limits allow. And, according to Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports, Defense has acknowledged contamination by military munitions of an estimated 15 million acres of land, public and private.

Since 2008, Spacek's American State Litter Scorecard has reported on the "Who's, What's, Where's, Why's" of Waste Littering and Dumping caused by citizens and allowed by governments. Over 800 persons continue to die annually across America, roughly 3 per day, from incidents attributed to littering and dumping. In recent years Spacek has reported on the “USA's Ten Most Waste Litter Polluted States” and “15 Biggest Most Waste Litter Polluted Cities,” noted for widespread waste capable of breeding diseases such as Covid.
