Far too often we have had to review the rampant corruption and criminal activity that always seems to permeate current government programs. The American political class is great at putting forth expensive, taxpayer funded programs and horrible when it comes to making sure those programs are efficient, effective, and criminal infestation free.
Unfortunately, these politicians have not gotten any better at doing their job as the following tremendous waste of taxpayer examples prove:
1)The Minneapolis area over the past years has become a settling point for many, many native Somalisians, many who came into this country legally and many who are illegal immigrants. Unfortunately, a number of them have found ways to defraud Federal government programs and enrich themselves and those back in their home country, all at the expense of the American taxpayer.
The current uncovering of fraud and criminal activity in a government programs in Minnesota has apparently shown the reality that this Somali organized crime effort has already billed falsely and criminally over a billions dollars of taxpayer funds for themselves:
Dr. Mehmet Oz, the director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, has given Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, a 60 day deadline to fix what the good governor allowed to be broken in his state, the pilfering of a billion dollars by Somalisians living in his state.
Failure to do so would result in the cutting of Federal taxpayer funding to his state for Medicare and Medicaid programs.
According to Oz: “This is a clear dereliction of duty. Everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because they’ve been asleep at the wheel.”
The Somali criminals exploited two government programs, the Housing Stabilization Services program, which assists disabled homeless folks, and the Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention Program which was supposed to help families with autistic kids.
Two worthy objectives in theory and horrible execution of those programs and their objectives.
Although narrowly focused and supposed to cost taxpayers $2.6 million a year, the housing program somehow paid out over $100 million last year.
Apparently, someone in the government failed to realize that the program was about 40 times over budget.
The criminal scammers used the stolen taxpayer funds to buy high end cars, overseas real estate, and offered kickbacks to parents who enrolled children into fake treatment centers, centers which were established for the sole purpose of submitting bills to be reimbursed.
And it is quite possible that some of those stolen funds were funneled to an international terrorist group, Al-Shabaab, a possibility that is now under active investigation by the Federal government.
Oz is demanding that Walz and the state government provide weekly fraud updates, freeze high risk provider enrollment for at least six months, verify all current providers, and submit a remedy plan to fix what Minnesota government officials have obviously failed to do.
Of all the incompetence we have highlighted over the years, this has to be right at the top of the list. Government programs with no oversight, no auditing, and no budget tracking since a budget overrun of 40 times apparently is no big deal. American taxpayers are working hard and paying taxes and Walz and those under his command allowed criminals, freeloaders and terrorists to live the easy life off of their incompetence and the American taxpayer.
To understand their fraud in human terms consider the following simple math example:
According to Feeding America, on average it costs just under $3.00 to provide a nutritious meal to a homeless American.
At last count there were about 770,000 homeless Americans in the country.
These two programs in Minnesota alone wasted a billion dollars.
If we divide the billion dollars by $3.00 then theoretically that billion dollars could have provided over 330,000,000 million meals to homeless Americans.
If we divide those 330,000,000 meals by 770,000 homeless Americans, just this wasteful spending experience in Minnesota could have provided almost 430 meals for EACH of those homeless Americans or at three meals a day have fed them for almost five months.
Instead, some Somalisians in Minnesota now own high end cars and real estate across the globe. That is the human cost to Americans, beyond the financial cost.
2)And the Minnesota corruption looks worse when you consider this reality:
A recently uncovered photograph of Minnesota Governor Walz shows him and a Somali member of Congress from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, in the company of Abdul Dahir Ibrahim.
What makes this photo embarrassing for Walz and Omar is the reality that Ibrahim is an illegal Somali immigrant and has a history of criminal fraud convictions, not accusations, convictions.
He was previously found guilty of asylum and welfare fraud in Canada and yet somehow still made it into the U.S.
He has been illegally in this country since 2004 during which time has amassed numerous traffic and parking violations as reported by the New York Post.
But this association with the political leaders should not be a surprise since two of the Somali scammers have close ties to Omar.
Salim Ahmed Said hosted Omar’s 2018 victory party at his restaurant and Guhaad Hashi Said worked for Omar’s campaign.
Salim was convicted on 21 criminal counts back in March that included wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering.
Guhaad pleaded guilt in August because he falsely claimed to serve 5,000 meals a day to needy local families, picketing $3.2 million in taxpayer wealth in the process.
When Omar was questioned about this mess by CNN, she provided a great but incoherent Kamala Harris word salad non-answer: "I think what happened, um, is that, you know, when you have these, kind of new programs that are, um, designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up — they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created."
Did Walz and Omra know about the massive fraud and did nothing or were they that ignorant of what was going on? In any case, another example of less than intelligent and competent politicians.
3)But it is not just illegal immigrants that are corrupt and try to get rich off of the American taxpayer, sometimes it is simply a current or former employee of the Federal government that is criminally corrupt:
In the Obama administration, Paul Campo was once the DEA chief financial officer.
Keep in mind that as an employee within the Drug Enforcement Agency, his job and the jobs of his coworkers was to protect Americans from the violence and addiction being put forth by drug cartels
However, he was recently criminally charged with allegedly helping launder over $12 million of drug cartel profits using crypto and real estate, all of which happened after his government retirement in 2016.
Federal law enforcement said his insider knowledge of how the DEA operates was very valuable in helping the cartels.
He is charged with allegedly helping out the Mexican drug cartel, de Jalisco.
He has been charged along with a co-defendant, Robert Sensi, who hyped Canpo’s DEA background as someone who could “clean” cartel profits,
Cartel drug sales cash was converted into cryptocurrency which was then directed into real estate deals.
According to the arrest research, both defendants advised the cartels on fentanyl production methods, weapons procurement, drone tactics and how to avoid DEA enforcement procedures, procedures that Campo helped design and implement.
How sad is this criminal effort, a once highly paid government official found it better morally to help drug cartels sell their poison to Americans, of which over 100,000 die from that poison every year.
Enough corruption for today: politicians hanging out with criminal illegal immigrants, a high ranking, trusted government anti-drug official allegedly helping drug cartels, and massive illegal immigration theft of taxpayer funds in Minnesota. And it does not end there since we will discuss even more government corruption in subsequent posts.
