claim: Executive branch agents raided and shut down the EPA.
origin: On 5 June 2017, the web site Americaâ€™s Last Line of Defense published an article positing that agents of the Trump administrationâ€™s executive branch had raided the offices of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and shut that entity down, in the process collecting material documenting that climate change is a hoax: < Donald Trump isnâ€™t a sit around and do nothing kind of guy. Rather than wait for the entire bureaucracy of the EPA to break down â€” one liberal at a time â€” to finally find out whatâ€™s going on over there, he sent agents from his own executive branch security teams to seize the building and shut it down. What they uncovered was astounding. Cyber-experts are calling the raid the single-largest debunking of a hoax in history. Every single chart they make over there concerning manâ€™s impact on the planet is a lie, complete with reference materials theyâ€™ve suppressed proving them to be lies. The entire agency seems to exist to give tree-huggers high-paying government positions where they can safeguard the multi-billion dollar â€œclean energyâ€ industry. Climate change is a hoax. The seas arenâ€™t rising, the continents naturally sink a little here and there, itâ€™s all about plate tectonics. There is no actual endangered spotted owl. It doesnâ€™t exist. Our planet is in a natural warming cycle that happens, libtards, deal with it. We donâ€™t want to be shoved into trains and automated and have our SUVâ€™s taken away to make way for the new car someone made a deal with the government to produce. > There was no truth to this report, which originated with Americaâ€™s Last Line of Defense, a fake news site whose a disclaimer notes that they are a â€œsatirical publicationâ€ created to â€œpresent fiction as fact,â€ and that their â€œsources donâ€™t actually exist.â€ The EPA is still open and functioning, and they did not â€œdebunkâ€ climate change as a â€œhoax.â€
