DOGE Oil Executive Put in Charge of National Park Service

Hassen's LinkedIn profile lists him as the current CEO of Basin Energies, a global oilfield manufacturing and service business. Now, he will wield broad powers for the National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).

That includes the power to make funding decisions, fire employees, create policy, and transfer funds.

"DOGE's unelected bureaucrats in Washington have no idea how to staff a park, a wildlife refuge, or a campground," Rokala said.

"They have no idea how to manage a forest or prepare for fires in the wildland-urban interface. But Doug Burgum just gave DOGE free rein over all of that."

What could possibly go wrong?

The Trumpf junta will sell off America's natural resources to pay for the American Sovereign Wealth Fund. That's why Trumpf appointed billionaire oligarch Douglas James Burgum from North Dakota to the junta as Interior Secretary.

"Some in Trumpf's orbit have floated the idea of funding the sovereign wealth fund through the sale of federal land and natural resources. On paper, the federal government owns some 259 million hectares " a potentially valuable source of capital."

"Why should the masses enjoy federal parks for free like Yellowstone or Yosemite? Let them fly to exotic places in private jets for their vacations like us!"
