#954- Trump Somalia Scandal

much love to you all. I being the Louisiana boy, would rather die than go to a place with that kind of snow drifts. But like I know that some people find it charming, and that's fine.

the app where you'd call every morning. There was like a certain number like a you know, six seven and something like number that six, but they they would tell you the weather app on the mountain if the snow is open, which which runs were open, which lifts were open, you know, which camps were open, and like how far down the snow went and stuff. And I remember calling that, like, you know, checking can I go snowboard? And yet? Can I go snowboard? Yet? I don't even know if that,

first of all, if is still running. But it's definitely crazy because I thought I would have like a white Christmas and it's not been. A vibe really got you. I mean, the weather's changing, and I mean it's even hotter down here right now than it normally is not tonight, because it's supposed to get in the thirties tonight, but it.

in their culture and all these things. And it's like my brother. If you it was so great in Somali, you'd still be there. You know.

It's a very fine balance. But did you know that there is a large population of Smolians in Ohio it's the second largest population.

Yeah it's gorgeous to look at, no sure, but like there's no industry, there's no opportunity, there's no real reason to try to like raise a family there unless you have familiar ties. Most everybody I knew from the Marine Corps that were from Vermont had no intentions of ever going home again until like Christmas, and that was it. And then they're getting a fuck back to a place with business. I don't know, but whatever I didn't know. Ohio also had such a large population of Somali nationals.

was really interesting the program. When I was reading through it, it starts with a M. It's like make something I forget, but.

to do that. Sure that being said, when you're coming and forcing your religious ideology and your political ideology into a country that's already established with their own culture and their own ideals, that's not okay. And you don't need to be forcing that upon if your country was if you like the way your country was being ran, then

you would go back home to that country. The problem is is their country is an absolute chaos, and then we have issues the funding that's supposed to be going to their country right now to help millions upon millions of them that are starving to death, that are dying and everything else, it's now being directed towards terrorist groups. Oh it's what we came here to talk about today, y'all.

sent to these countries for no reason. America has been sending Somalia more funding than the nation's entire GDP four years now, and that hasn't even been going to fund till well, some of it I'm sure has gone to fund terrorist groups. Most of us just been enriching people, buying luxury suits, buying nice houses, buying Bentley's. Who the fuck is driving a Bentley in Somalia? That's how you get got like, that's how you stand.

critical status that they could be on. That means that they're on the verge of dying, right And yet somehow this money that's supposed to be going to these organizations are the healthcare one. I looked all into the funding for that specific situation that's happening. Their funding has gotten cut seventy percent in the last two years because they just don't know where the money's going. The money's just disappearing.

Millions of dollars are being funded in. There's a un group that's been trying to go in and bring food. They've been hit by pirates so many times they haven't been able to actually get the food to the people that need it. Yeah, these are your own people, terrorizing your own people and stealing from them and harming them and displacing them and going in these camps and killing them just for the sake of killing them.

these camps. My god, the camps are worse than being in the cities almost honestly, these camps are horrific and so all this money that they're supposed to be getting from America to help from the you and to help from all these different organizations is just gone. It's just right aware.

from us. I think most Americans don't have that problem.

We're not just talking about like kind of poverty. No, we're the most extreme you could possibly get.

is six hundred US dollars a year. Six hundred a year is the average, which means that most adults are living and trying to feed their family on less than a dollar fifty a day, give or take.

local politics. Okay, that's fine. But then when we find out that they have these nonprofits that are accepting tax dollars, and then we find out what that money is actually

going towards. Good cult men, let's dive into it today, because the thing that really got to start on this was that over seventy people have been arrested for the fraud that is going on with the Feed Our Future organization, which claims that it's feeding Somalian children, but in reality is sending over a billion dollars to a Somalian terrorist group.

because they're getting attacked NonStop. The internal conflict is huge, the military presence, they're not letting them in certain locations into the these pretty much cesspool these poor places that are just these camps, and they have no ability to get to them, and if they do, they might not even be let into help. Right these people are struggling so severely on top of the drought and the famine that's happening, like these people are dying rampidly and happening

for you. You'd be helping for years, the many that could be helping these people here in America. These Somalians are lying and funneling them to the terrorists that are terrorizing their people. That's what kisses me off the most.

see that there's a couple of tears for entry. The five dollar tier that is available to everybody is how you get all of these shows a couple of days in advance. You get to see the videos, you get to see all the affiliates videos as well. But probably the main reason why people go to that tier above all else is because it is completely commotional form and I cannot understate how awesome that is. Listen, commercial suck, We get it. You've probably heard two commercial breaks up

until this point on this very episode. They suck. Get away from the commercials and come check us out Patreon dot com. But the other option here, if you go to that third eye all the way open tier, you will get to join us every Tuesday night at nine pm Central for the Cult Member Live. It is a collective, a group of misfits and let's just say downright miscreants. They get together every Tuesday night to talk about all the wild things that have been going on in the

past week, some conspiratorial, some esoteric, some history. We go woo woo with it and all the things. And for anybody who does miss Old Jonathane, he is there on the Tuesday Night Lives as well, alongside me and my gorgeous co host Ravenlee. So with all this being said, I'm gonna go ahead and share the screen at this time.

dollars Feeding our Future fraud scheme. The US Attorney's Office in Minnesota said, uh uh, you know, I'm gonna you can give the apology now. I am going to butcher all of the names and pronunciations of the people and the places and the things when it comes to Somalia. I don't speak Arab, I don't speak this dialect of Afrikaan, and I'm very sorry. I speak American English. So bear with me as I try to stutter stuck my way through this. These names look.

was the president of the latter. Duel and another person identified as a conspirator applied in March twenty twenty one to operate the two businesses as food program sites under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. That name is gonna come up a good bit here, y'all, core documents said, all right, so, meals at sites across Minnesota during COVID nineteen pandemic were funded by Federal Child Nutrition Program Okay

fair enough. Dual claimed to operate both sites, the blal Mosque food site in Pelican Rapids and the Multicultural Resource Center food site in Morehead. According to the indictment, Duel at times completed meal count sheets that said over forty thousand meals were being served to children every week. However, as Duel knew those meal counts were false and inflated, the indictment said, he then submitted the meal count sheets

for reimbursement. The court document said. Prosecutors accused Duel of submitting fraudulent invoices that claimed to list food purchases by both businesses when very little food was bought quote unquote. Court documents said he also turned in fake rosters of

the names of children fed at both sites. Between March of twenty twenty one and February of twenty twenty two, the two nonprofits received about one point one million dollars in federal child nutrition program funds through Feeding Our Future, the indictment said, though little of this money was used to purchase food, Duel and the conspirator, who controlled the bank accounts of both businesses, transferred most quote unquote of

the money to family and Duel. According to court documents, he used the funds to travel, enrich himself and by real estate. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, US Postal Inspection Service and IRS worked to investigate Duel. Okay, so he himself was using the federal funding to enrich himself on US soil, though, and that Okay, I'm I'm that's horrible, and I'm glad that he's being caught and he's gonna

be fried. But that kind of got me thinking, here seventy eighth person charged with this Feeding our Future fraud scheme. He this was one guy and his co conspirator. They didn't even name him. I don't even know if he's being charged or if he's just kind of being brought up. Maybe he took a plea deal. I don't know, but they got me thinking, right, the Feeding our Future conversation, To what level and to what extent has this really gone down? Well?

twenty three. It's also worth pointing out that's more than the budget of Somalia's government in twenty twenty three. Where's it coming from, Well, here's an example. The federal child nutrition program Feeding our Future very much in America. The sponsored organization, we're primarily owned and operated by members of the Somali community. It claimed to be serving thousands of meals a day, seven days a week to underprivileged children.

Spoiler alert, it didn't. The frauding used fake meal counts, doctored attendance records, and fabricated invoices, all while raking in quite a bit of money from the government. Just this week, a thirty six year old man became the seventy eighth person charged in the scheme. According to prosecutors, he claimed to serve six thousand meals a day, seven days a week at one of the meal sites, which is more than double the number of people who live in the town.

In twenty nineteen, Feeding our Future received three point four million in federal funding. By twenty twenty one, that number was two hundred million. In reality, that money was being used to fund lavish lifestyles in the US and elsewhere, and many other schemes spawned from this. One News Nation reports to date, eighty six people have been indicted. Of those indicted, federal authorities say seventy nine of them are

Somali descent. We told you about Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services. It was originally created to help seniors, addicts, and others find housing. Program criteria was loose, leading to fraud and costs exploding. Six people accused of defrauding HSS are members of the Somali community. We also told you about the autism scam, where a woman in the Somali community was one of the many accused of recruiting kids for autism theory therapy even if they didn't have autism. As a result,

Medicaid claims also surged. Bottom line, we know this fraud is happening, but what's worse is when good prosecutors try to do something about it and a judge lets the convicts off the hook, like in Hennepin County, where a judge tossed out a jury guilty verdict in a seven

point two million dollar home health care fraud case. In August, Abtifa Yusef and his wife lull Ahmed were found guilty by a jury of stealing seven point two million in taxpayer money through medicaid over billing in a personal care

assistant scam. According to the Minnesota Attorney General's office, they use stolen funds for you guessed it a lavish lifestyle, one million into a personal account, three hundred and eighty seven thousand in cash, twenty two thousand at a furniture store, forty two thousand at luxury car dealers, and eighty thousand

at high end clothing stores. But despite all of that and a quick jury verdict, the judge tossed it out, writing, while the Court is troubled by the manner in which fraud was able to be perpetrated at promise, the state's evidence did not exclude other reasonable rational inferences that are inconsistent with mister yuse of skilt. It's all incredible, seemingly rampant.

there's just not. As long as you can fill out the paperwork the right way and you have somebody at the office that doesn't care, the funding is going to just go that way.

you're this, you're that. It's like, no, you're just a horrible human being that shouldn't shouldn't be allowed to be here. If this is what you're doing, including Americans, by the way, and including Americans, if they're here and they're taking from American citizens, you know, we can just ship them overseas, put them locations that they want to go to.

like they wanted to be just like home. I'm curious if we were to take these people that keep saying America was never great and all that, and we were to just implant them in Somalia for I'll be very nice and say six months, I wonder how much they would come back singing the fucking Star Spangled banner at nauseum to talk about how amazing the stars and stripes really is.

and it's like, sure, people, y'all. Y' Also a lot of.

paces absolutely struggling. We have lots of people that are struggling to make ends meet, that are struggling to feed their families, and we should be pouring our resources into our American citizens, but there are lots of places like small that need help. I mean, they desperately need help. You're talking almost two million kids are dying for food, right, but then we can't even get the food to them exactly.

People don't quite understand that. All they think is that, you know, the political atmosphere and the left and the right fighting is more important than understanding that there is true suffering happening in this world, and that maybe we should try to work together and find common ground instead of swinging so polarized left and right.

journalism has been a thing for quite some time. What I mean is, I would say even forties and fifties, and arguably even into the sixties and touching into the seventies, even there were politicians that, yeah, okay, I might be a Republican, but hey, Democrat homie over here, I will vote in favor of this bill you're trying to get passed. But I'm gonna need you do the same thing whenever I have something next year that I'm trying to pass.

All right, I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. We're gonna try to, you know, a little bit of some song and dance routine. We got to keep up appearances to the people, make sure our constituents ain't mad at us. We gotta get reelected, of course, but like, let's let's try to make something happen to get some real change inacted here. Let's do something for the better of America.

That was a thing at one point in time. I would argue, ever since, like from the mid seventies to now, it has gotten so far gone and so.

For example, Germany's education system is fantastic. They're making people that have actual jobs, career paths and everything. Like you start kind of in that path, like it I think

it's like fourth grade. You kind of start, you take a couple tests, and then you take another like again at like seventh or eighth grade, you take your next set of tests, and then you go to your specialized schools and you can transfer back and forth, depends on what your job field and they pretty much have a really well organized system of like trying to these get kids to figure out what they would like to do, have a generalized idea, go into those fields, already be in a direction of life.

We're going to take over Europe. We're coming for America, We're coming for Canada. And it's like, I don't understand why people don't take the threat seriously, but people out number.

Korean Scottish dude, Yeah, he was just attained. I don't know if anyone's ever seen this guy. So he wore bacon on his shoulders in an interview with a UK journalist and they didn't realize it. And he goes off on a tangent about Islam or Muslims.

with his wording. But he had a pair of nunchucks on the wall behind him, and in Australia that's a federal offense. You can't have nunchucks in Austriia. They were foam for the record, they were signed by like Chung Lee or something like. It was. It was from a movie thing. It was a prop set of nunchucks. They swatted him, kicked in his door, took him off in cuffs, saying the nunchucks were the reason, but in reality it was because he had a mouth on them. That's how it goes down.

on the books. I can't oh wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait, because in theory, you're thinking that sounds so dumb. Why would that not be a law? The political spectrums of the left and the right over there are arguing about it because the Muslim majority is saying this is racist against their culture. Let that one sink in. As long as you need to good cult members. They are deliberating over if they can't. That was a made up word. I was gonna say delineating, but you know what, there

it is. They're deliberating over if they should or should not be allowed to marry their first cousins as a national law in England. And the only pushback is from a Muslim dude who's saying that this is racist against his people.

them like Germany is. Germany is like fuck you, guys, We're done with you, and we're just masty parting.

they're gonna scoff that I just made that comment. Once again, your standard American is a lot kinder natured than your standard Somalian living in Somalia. Right now, I don't think that's a hot take either. They take advantage of our systems, They take advantage of our policies and our nonprofits and all these things, and then they end up funneling this money back to Somalia to fun terrorist groups. It's wild, but all right, how did this all start? How did

the Somalians really get such a foothold in Minnesota. I got an article pulled up here. This is from Menpost dot com Minnesota Post dot com and is actually dated back to twenty seventeen. But this will give us a good snapshot as to how and why they have taken over this area in the way that they have. The complicated reality behind the story of the Somali community's success in Minnesota. I'm using success very loosely. When abdurrah Ham, Abdirahman,

Kaihen Jesus these names. When Oabe came to the US two decades ago, one of the first things he noticed about Minnesotans was their love of restaurants, especially those offering ethnic cuisine, which again at South Caama that of course they're gonna like something with some flavor. He also noticed that though there were a lot of ethnic eateries in the Twin Cities, many tended to fall into one of

several groups Italian, Thai, Indian, Mexican, or Middle Eastern. There are very few, if any, places to get decent Somali food, which I feel like is a bit of a misnomer, because, as we just talked about, Somalians themselves don't have food. But all right, it's the same as like saying an Ethiopian restaurant, like, have you ever had Ethiopian food? Because neither of eat Theopians.

the most successful immigrant owned businesses in the state. Today, it features two twin city locations. A third is planned and this again twenty seventeen, so they may have a third location open now and a thriving catering business that counts like the likes of General Mills and target among

its corporate clients. Interesting. Kaheen is a classic American success story, of course, but he also personifies what's become a conspicuous data point in the increasingly common narrative about Minnesota's Somali community. Over the last several years, researchers and government officials from Europe in different parts of the US have regularly visited the Twin Cities to learn about the East African Muslim communities.

Political and economic success is a direct quote here. Minneapolis is viewed around the world, particularly in Scandinavian countries where the Somali diaspora is growing, as a model for Somali integration rights. Stephanie Chambers, a political science professor at Trinity College, in her recently published book comparing the Somali American communities in Minneapolis to Columbus, Ohio, shout out to the Ohio Somalis.

Other American mayors, such as mayor of Portland, Oregon, have visited Minneapolis to learn about policies that can help their cities be better addressed the needs of Somali immigrants. For all the talk of success and integration, however, the more common reality for Somali Americans in Minnesota is more complicated, if less comforting. From the outside, the community seems to

be doing really great. This is from Ahmad Yusa, a Mini Appolis public schools teacher who's written about Somali's in Minnesota, which also, if I'm not mistaken, Ahmad Yusef also was in the mix of this fraud scandal. We're all clear. I think his name actually just got brought up for the seven point two million dollar case that just got thrown out. He and his wife. But okay, he's a

public school teacher. Okay, but when you look deep down, we're struggling big time, except for a few individuals have risen above as cream of the crop.

you can't beat him, join them. So he just started embezzling money to the tune of over seven million dollars. And then when it was discovered and a jury said guilty, the judges threw it out.

about how American tax laws work. A school teacher who decided to start taking some money on some fraud shit, I have a feeling he maybe he doesn't understand the ins and outs of how to play the game. I don't know, could be wrong anyway. Here so the story of a success story. The history of Somali Americans and Minnesota echoes that of many immigrant communities in the United States.

When the first waves of Somali's arrived in Minnesota in the early nineteen nineties, many enter the workforce via unskilled jobs at meat packing plants where the work didn't require prior work experience, advanced degrees, or fluency in English. But as the community grew and as more Somali immigrants improved their English skills and earned career credentials, they branched out

into more industrious and professions. Included industries and professions rather including work helping local and state government agencies bridge the cultural gap between service providers and the growing number of Somali clients in Minnesota. They also started small businesses. Today, though Somali Americans are in almost every sector of Minnesota's workforce and are particularly well represented in health, education, and financial service industries. Yeah, I'm just going to leave that

one there. Perhaps their most conspicuous presence of Minnesota, especially in Minneapolis. To that, sentences written weird due to small businesses, the myriad of restaurants, coffee shops, and clothing stores that tend to be concentrated in certain neighborhoods where Somali's work, live and socialize. At the same time, Somali Americans have also found their way in local politics. In twenty thirteen, Minneapolis elected its first Somali American City Council member Abdi Warsam.

The next year, Sayad Ali was elected the Minneapolis school Board, and last year Ilhan Omar became the first Somali American to be elected to a state legislature. Again put a pin in her. She's really a horrible, horrible human being. Those two factors, the community's entrepreneurship and growing political clout, has formed a major part of the narrative about Somali's success, especially among those who compare Somalis in Minnesota to those

in other parts of the world. When officials from Sweden started visiting Minnesota, for example, they made a point of connection, connecting with entrepreneurs to understand how they managed to establish their shops. One of the entrepreneurs they met was Kahem, the Afro Deli owner we were talking about earlier, who told the group that many in the community go into business trying to serve the Somali population in a place where it's relatively easy to start a business, which isn't

the case in Sweden. This is a problem that we need to address in our government in order to for the Somalis to have freedom to establish businesses like here. That's from one of the Swedish Association of Public Housing. That was a statement from twenty twelve. But anyway, so this episode or this article, it's talking about how the Somalis are doing better in Minneapolis, and a lot of them are business owners, some got into local politics and

all finding good, all finding good. Right now, we jump to today where Trump is calling for an end to the temporary protected status and this is being overly politicized right now. Trump arrangement syndrome is a hardcore thing. I understand that there's a side of the coin that anything that Trump says or does they think is literally the word of God, and it has to be because their

Lord and savior, Donnie T said so. And the other side of the aisle thinks that everything he does is literally the word of Satan because Donnie T said so. There's very few people that are in the gray on this one. With that being said, whenever he talks about removing the temporary protected status for Somalians in Minnesota, Oh, the people have taken to the streets on this one. Let's get into it here. This is from mprnews dot org.

So you already know it's going to be very biased, But all right, hundreds packed a Hall of Caramel Mall on Sunday to gather in solidarity with the Somali community after President Trump called for elimination of a program that offers temporary protective status for people from the country. Trump dean Minnesota a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity in social media posts on Friday, and he alleged without providing proof,

that Somali gangs were terrorizing the state. I you know, listen, I don't know what kind of I'm rate proof you need to prove that. But the first statement that was made about the money laundering schemes that were done by Somemollians. That's that's actual, verified, factual information.

at how the categories, how they created the categories. There's a history to it, which we're not going to get super deep into, but there's a history as to why they did the categorizing of people in America from like black, white, Hispanic, Native American, all of that. It's a it's a really interesting history to like randomly look at people. But I'm just curious, do they actually when they arrest people, are they putting smallian on their thing or they just well now other So I'm I.

hundred in Minnesota have the protected status. So when Trump is talking about removing this, he's talking about sending less than a thousand people back to Somalia, and the seventy thousand are losing their shit over this right now. But okay, actually, while I'm reading this, look up what the crime statistics are from Minnesota as a whole and Sea.

seventy seven people. Actually that's an older time. As of now, it's seventy eight people have been charged in connection with a scheme to defraud a COVID nineteen era child nutrition program that was largely through the nonprofit group Feeding Our Future, and the federal officials have charged others with alleged misuse of state medicaid programs intended to provide autism treatment and

housing stabilization services. Some people that have been charged and convicted in these cases came to Minnesota from Somalia, although it's not clear that any of them are on temporary protected status. A Trump administration official on Sunday suggested that the program's elimination could take time. The call for its ending struck fear in members of the Somali community in Minnesota. Khalid Omar or kalid Omar, it's like dj Khalit's how

it's spelled. A new one. A community organizer with Isaiah I s a I ah all right said the post put a target on the backs of Somalis in Minnesota, a year after Trump made negative comments before a Bloomington mosque was bombed. Okay, I don't believe that that mosque was bombed by somebody outside of the Somali community. I'm just gonna go ahead and call it. Think that was probably internal. But okay, sure uh. He decided to also pit our communities against each other and attack our community.

And what we're saying is that is a distraction. Omar said, that's the woman that we were gonna talk about in a bit. The reality is that people are struggling. Our communities are struggling, and when one of our communities gets attacked, the way we react is we come together as Minnesotans, have a meal together. I don't know what that had

to do with anything, elan Omar, but okay. Members of the faith community, local elected officials, and others joined a local Somalies for a potluck of samboosas fruit plates, mac and cheese, and trays of cookies and pies. I honestly cannot think of anything more American, more Minnesotan than a potluck, said pastor Martha Bardwell of our saviors at Lutheran Church in Minneapolis. This is what the event is all about. And yet our president would have us believe us non

Somalies believe that the Somalis are terrorizing our communities. We know that's not true, even though we literally just learned that they're embezzling billions of dollars to fund Samali terrorist groups. But we'll get to all that.

shoplifting motor vehicle stuff, and simple assault. They're averaging around twenty four thousand those things. Overall. They had three cases of incest. I thought that was really weird.

of a lie. Yeah, why would you even lie? Period? You have an entire staff of you have a whole White House and the Pentagon that could do any amount of research for you in under ten seconds. So why the fuck would you say something like that to exaggerate this whole thing when you have there are psycho people that think Trump is like God's gift to Earth that

will take that to the extreme max. It's like it's just the right and left rhetoric to try and push a civil war and to cause so much hate and discontent. The more that they keep people divided, the less change that we'll actually make for the betment of the American people. This has nothing to do with actually giving a shit about us is. It's everything to do with using certain tactics to keep us divided and keep hate and spewing shit that keep going.

that's going poorly, that's going good. It just depends on what you're hearing, what news you're seeing, blah blah blah, and everyone has different polarized opinions of that. Then you have this situation where clearly American tax dollars are being funded funding these people's lavish lifestyles, and we'll get to them going back to funding terrorist groups, which pisses everyone the fuck off. And then you're now saying that like, hey, by the way, just a little side note, m they're

actually terrorizing American people. So now you're just painting a target on the Somalian groups that, like I bet you ten to one, most of these people are just here living their lives, like the rest of the immigrants that have been here, that all of us originated and kind of came here from different areas. So why paint that target unless something severely atrocious is happening like it, I just I don't agree with it.

this article was. Yeah, there's a current article from November twenty twenty five. The Trump and administration has sought to roll back temporary protected status for migrants from other countries too. Hundreds of thousands of people in the US from Venezuela and Haiti who had temporary protected status have been affected. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said he'd moved to sue if the Trump administration moves ahead to eliminate protected status

for Somali migrants in Minnesota. Now that being set, I'm actually gonna go ahead and share the screen on this article right here, and let's dive into this one together. This is from Fox nine Federal investigation into Minnesota's terrorist fraud, called for by gd gop I don't know why they put terrorists in quotes. The organization that this is funding is an actual, absolutely understood, known terrorist organization that's an al Qaeda affiliate. We'll get to Al Shabab here in

a bit, but let's read in here. It says Minnesota fraud Investigation request what we know? A letter co signed by Representatives Tom Emmer, Michelle Fischbach and Brad Feinstein, and p Stallber Okay urge US attorney Rosen to conduct an open investigation into reports that Minnesota taxpayer dollars are ending up in the hands of Al Shabab terris network in Somalia. More specifically, the letter says that it is alleged that Minnesota's Somali community has been sending millions back to Somalia

through an informal money tracking scheme or trafficking scheme. The letter cites a report from the right leaning think tank Manhattan Institute. This is an expost from Tom Emmer, basically reinstating what I had just mentioned. Local GOP members echoed the same sentiment in a statement co signed by Minnesota House of Representative Speaker Lisa Dmouth House Republican floor leader Harry Niska and a group of House Republicans that called

for a similar investigation direct quote here. The sprawling fraud that has become endemic under Governor Walls's failed leadership is troubling enough for Minnesota taxpayers. The notion that these dollars could be flowing to foreign terrorist organizations adds a truly disturbing, an urgent dimension. For the record, Yeah, Walls as in

Tim Walls, as in Kamala Harris's running mate. For anybody that like forgot that that guy existed, he's the governor of the state that's got this kind of fraud going in.

the Somalis are embezzling millions to al Shabab. Continuing here, it says, if these allegations are confirmed, immediate action must be taken at both the state and federal level to crack down on illicit remittances and other any other payments making their way to terrorist groups. We are asking the DOJ to immediately launch an investigation into these claims so

Minnesotans can have clarity as soon as possible. The statement read, in part all right, so now we got a little vigia that's gonna give us a little bit of a breakdown of the situation. Let's learn together.

temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota. It calls some people to think Trump is trying to score political points with his base.

post he said he is terminating protected status effective in immediately. However, when temporary status is revoked, according to Michelle, federal law states it can't take effect earlier than sixty days after the publication of that notice, and it has to come from the Secretary of Homeland Security in order to get protective status.

Somalian gang that has been around since twenty nineteen. But from what I can tell, I haven't actually found any direct things that are saying that they're terrorizing the community. Obviously, drug trafficking and sex trafficking is a thing across the entire country, right, It's not just in one location, and it's done by many, many, many groups here and by just random individuals. So that's in and of itself a whole nother conversation. But I mean, let everyone know I found something.

ship their asses back over there. But if these people sought refugee because they're literally starving to death or fleeing what's happening from over there, and they're just normal people trying to live, then no, I don't agree with sending them back.

does that, he's later really hitler. So you have to at least start the ball rolling somewhere pulling back the protective status. I don't necessar farely agree with it. I also don't necessarily disagree with it either.

Send them back to where they come from. It's over, he wrote. Now the backstory here. The National TPS program is granted by the US Department Homeland Security to immigrants of countries who cannot return home safely due to conditions like civil war, natural disaster. A total of seventeen countries are currently applicable for that designation. Eligibility for the program is tied to each specific country designation, and Minnesota's program

fall under DHS's oversight. Minnesota's TPS program currently has an existing extension through March to twenty twenty six for refugees from Somalia. Estimates show that roughly seven hundred people in the United States with protected STATS from Somalia, with approximately five hundred residing in Minnesota. Now, let's talk about the

fraud big picture view. In recent years, Minnesota has dealt with massive fraud, most notably the Feeding our Children or few excuse me, Feeding our Future scheme that bezzled more than two hundred and fifty million dollars in the COVID nineteen relief funds. Of the seventy eight people that have been charged so far, fifty six have pled guilty to their role in the scheme. On the other side, members of the Somali community gathered in Minnesota on Sunday to

oppose the decision. I think it's a political act. Seventy eight people and fifty six of them.

Let's talk about one of these politicians that has gone out of their ways to real spit in the face of the American way of life, just outright and also has used the system to her advantage in very, very disgusting. Ways, let's get into it here. This is actually a post from the Minnesota House of Representatives House dot MN dot gov if anybody wants to look this up. Divorce diversion

regarding Congressional or Congresswoman il Han Omar. This was posted in twenty nineteen, I might add, So let's get into it here from Saint Paul. On Friday, Congresswoman il Han Omar filed for divorce from her husband, Ahmedhersey. In twenty seventeen, a Representative Omar filed from divorce from her husband, Amad Ilmen. So that's this two now, okay. In twenty eighteen, Representative Omar legally married Amad Hersey. Now in twenty nineteen, Omar

is filing for divorce from mister Hersey. Representative Steve Draskowski Draskowski Jesus Pollock okay, reacted to the most recent news, saying this is the most recent development in an attempt by Representative Omar to subvert the truth regarding her multiple violations of the law, which include perjury and tax fraud. Yeah, we're going there here, Drazowski continued. This story isn't about

the personal life of a politician. This story is about a politician who uses her relationships to cover up her misdeeds and disregard for the law. Congresswoman Omar knows that the truth reveals too much about her wrongdoings. As such, you can always expect Representative Omar's words and truth to

be one hundred and eight degrees apart. Draskowski, I don't even know if I'm pronouncing it right, doesn't matter, has consistently called out the media of the Twin Cities for their refusal to follow the facts and ask basic questions regarding this congresswoman. He said, it's time for the mainstream media to get serious enough. With the softball interviews and glittering profiles. Omar always uses the the excuse it's personal as a diversion to hide the facts about her life,

which reveal her to be a fraud. If Omar does tell the truth, then the media have a responsibility to find the truth. Only she only married mister Hersey to cover up the fact that she married her brother, mister Elmy. Yes, good cult members. That is the thing we've talked about on the show before, but like.

campaign account. This entire situation, this entire situation is nothing more than wholesale corruption. That's from Representative Drakowski. He also concluded, nevertheless, I know a Minnesota politician who could stand for truth and the rule of law, Congressman Dean Phillips. As a member of the US House Committee on Ethics, Congressman Phillips is uniquely placed to examine the perjury, tax fraud, and

other crimes committed by Representative Omar. However, Congressman Phillips remains deeply committed to partisanship and lacks the political courage to get the answers the people deserve. So, you know, that's just from that one. But let's continue here. This is from live mint dot com. This is from This is from them to talk about how Charlie Kirk even brought up the fact that she married her brother to gain citizenship. Trump attacks ilan Omar over the Charlie Kirker marks, and

the controversy is explained. This is from September of this year. President Trump blasts a Democratic representative, elan Omar of Minnesota on Thursday, ripping her birth country Somalia and questioning her citizenship as well he should. In a post on x, Trump said, ilan Omar's country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central government control, persistent poverty, hunger, resurgent terrorism, piracy, decades of civil war, corruption, and pervasive violence. For the record,

no lies detected thus far, Yeah, there's none. Seventy percent of the population lives in extreme poverty and widespread food insecurity. Somalia is consistently ranked among the world's most corrupt countries, including bribery, embezzlement, and dysfunctional government. Again, no lies detected thus far. Down e tea. All of this, and ilan Omar tells us how to run America. All that's going on in her country. She's here illegally, and she's got the fucking stones to tell us how to run America.

these things that will bleed into how you handle this culture. Yeah, this country, and I'm not saying that, you know, we are a mixing pot of people, but that's one thing to be running for certain things, but to be in that high of politics, and then for her to go on Mike and be like, I'm a Somalian first, and Somalia always first, and then I'll be giving any allegiance

to America. I mean that whole And then they even had that background camera in the I don't know where it was in the room with a whole bunch of them, and they were all talking about how they're gonna make this Somalia. You know, it's Smaalian nation and Somalian way and all of this stuff, and they're they're praising that, and it's like.

we do us cool, cool, cool. But the extremists are gathering there are gaining forces, and they are bleeding into everything. And honestly, the Muslims that don't convert to that are being tortured and killed.

Muslim is horrible. That is not the same conversation, right, But there is a lot to be said that Muslims are sweeping the world right now and having a lot of issues that are happening in various countries.

I got no problems with this. I don't, but to be honest with you, if I had it my way, you wouldn't be allowed to serve in any kind of political spectrum unless you've served your nation. That's just me, and I know I mean as if.

earn your right to vote. You would earn your right to be in the political spectrum in any way, shape or form that is. It blows my mind that any Joe Blow that gets enough votes can be somebody in DC. Fuck that, what is that person done to serve their nation? Actually, but I know that people think that I'm some sort of a crazy bigot for saying this. I don't know, that's just me. You ever seen Starship Troopers how they're like trying to do something to earn citizenship. I feel

like we should have something akin to that. I feel like that would actually go a lot better. And I've even had this conversation with people that were.

Everybody pays taxes. And then I was like, I heard somebody else say, well, then you're just killing the black vote, like right off the rip, and I'm like, brother, go to any v A clinic and tell me that the black vote actually wouldn't have a louder voice if what I'm talking about was enacted. I'm just gonna throw it out here, but it Yeah, it actually would put things more on an even keel. Minorities and the majorities and

everything else. If you had to serve your community or your state or your country to have your voice be heard in a public space, this would make it so fair and balance that it would be revolutionary. But yeah, no, to your point, it's never gonna happen because that's just not how people do things. Anyway. Anyway, getting back.

attention on this matter. Make America great again? Uh? What Trump's remarks about Representative Elan Omar came as the House of Representative sought to censor her, overcome and she made regarding the day of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which also, yeah, she really does need to be removed from her position,

but either way it goes. Omar, an immigrant who criticized Kirk's views on gun ownership and race relations in the aftermath of George Floyd's death, was targeted by GOP representatives Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who argue that Omar should be deported to Somalia. I agree. Omar was born in Somalia and became a US citizen in two thousand. The two hundred and fourteen to two hundred and thirteen roll Call shelved a resolution from GOP Nancy Mace of South

Carolina to censor her. So they shelved it. Basically they were trying to censor her, and it was split damn near down the middle, so it got shelved and have her removed from two House committees, Education, Workforce and Budget. Okay, the two have feuded viciously on social media. The two have engaged in a bitter feud on social media, with Mace accusing Omar pushing harmful rhetoric, while Omar has countered by accusing Mas of spreading false narratives and to fundraise

and further her goober national ambitions. That's a weird word there, Omar. The influence of Charlie Kirk, both personally and politically, is deeply felt on Capitol Hill, with figures like Mike Johnson counting him as a friend. In the week's following Kirk's assassination, his memory has been honored through various tributes both large and small. Yeah, that was to do. Let's see, it's not the first time Congress has taken action against Omar

or other lawmakers. In twenty twenty three, Omar was removed from her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, marking a shift in how censors and punishments are handed down in Congress. When Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to censer Omar. Democratic Representative Greg Kasser of Texas quickly responded with a counter effort to censor Corey Mills, or a Republican from Florida,

over allegations related to his personal and professional conduct. Mills was one of four Republicans who sided with Democrats to reject the resolution against Omar. So literally, your boy as a as a retort, we should silence Omar, a Republican said that about a Democrat. So a Democrats like, we should silence your boy Mills. He's doing that to a Republicans even though he literally just sided with y'all about this whole situation.

There should be. I honestly wish there was a third party president because I feel that we would have a better I feel like people at first would be pissed, but then once things started moving in a positive direction, I feel like a lot of the people in the country, a lot of our issues would be silenced or not silence, but go down.

Minnesotans spoke Somali language at home. Now, I don't understand how that one works out specifically, but cool, so little under one hundred thousand people in Minnesota are Somali speakers actually, all right, so the history of it. Ethnic Somalis first immigrated to the Twin Cities in the United States after the start of the civil war in Somalia during the early nineteen nineties, or from other parts of the Greater Somalia. Many of the newer arrivals moved to Minnesota through the

Voluntary Agency's volags, who helped them settle in. Somalis who had arrived earlier also assisted the more recent immigrants. Somalis in the Twin Cities and elsewhere in the United States often send resources to their extended families abroad, remittances that were facilitated by the signing of the Money Remittants Improvement Act. Following a greatly improved security situation in Somalia in twenty twelve, many Somali US residents have also begun returning to Mogadishu

and other parts of the country. I feel like that's probably not accurate as at this moment, but we'll get to that in a bit. A few of the homeward bound immigrants, along with some American born associates, have been sought and or prosecuted for allegedly providing material support to the Al Shabab and Islamic State political militant groups. Just so we're all clear here, these are two different things,

and we're gonna break these down more. The Islamic State affiliates and the al Shabab affiliates, they're almost like warring gangs. If we're gonna get technical, it's the same as saying ISIS versus al Qaeda, and we're gonna break all of that down just so we're all on the same page. But they're both Islamic terrorist groups, just so we're clear anyway. However, according to the intelligence officials, fewer expeak expatriates were joining

the group's ranks in by late twenty thirteen. Most of the returnees have insisted repatriated for investment opportunities and to take part in the ongoing post conflict reconstruction process in Somalia, participating in the renovation of schools, hospitals, roads, and other infrastructure. They have played a leading role in the capital's recovery and have also helped propel the local real estate market. Okay,

fair enough in demographics here. In early twenty sixteen, the Minnesota Dema Demographers Demographers Demographers Office gave an estimate that they were between forty thousand and fifty two thousand Somalians in Minnesota although some of the some from the Somali community put the number as high as eighty thousand. These estimates include people born in Somalia and of Somali descent. Somali's and Minnesota reside throughout the Twin City Metropolitanariu and

the surrounding towns. Many Somali's inhabit Minneapolis's Cedar Riverside neighborhood, particularly newly arrived immigrants. Somali professionals often moved to the suburbs to raise their children in a more secure environment away from the inner city. Although Somalis have established ethnic enclaves, there is an easy commute between Somali areas and the wider metropolitan metropolis. All right, cool, cool, cool, So just a little background to some of the demographics that are

concerned with this. Now, with all this being said here, I got this pulled up from the Sahan Journal. Somali Prime Minister to address the fight against al Shabab during Minnesota visit Sunday. This is actually from twenty twenty three. So the Somali president, okay, Prime minister, excuse me, Haza

Hamza abd Bar. Yeah, he appeared at an event in Bloomington and he was coming to specifically talk about how his people do not need to be helping al Shabab and we need to fight against them, even though it has been proven that billions have been sent to al Shabab, and I have a hard time believing that the Prime Minister doesn't isn't getting a cut. I'm just gonna go ahead and throw that out there, especially when Somalia is one of the most governmental corrupt countries on Earth. I

just I can't see it. But let's continue here. Somali Prime Minister Hamza abd Bar arrived in New York City on Monday a company by a significant delegation and will make stop make a stop in Minnesota Sunday. Hamsa is participating in the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

According to a statement released by his office, he is expected to deliver speech to the UN on Saturday, highlighting Somalia's achievements whatever that is focused on poverty reduction, healthcare, education, economic growth, human rights, peace and security, justice, establishing robust

governmental institutions, and climate change. Big dog, Big dog. With all of the shit that Somalia has going on, perhaps climate change should be a thing that you speak on right now, ya y'all's play it's pretty full without throwing on some al gore sprinkles.

would have to get the African Using Union for peacekeeping forces to help reinforce all of this. But they're pretty much screwed right now, and that they're taking over everything, and that the it's resembling the Taliban more and more.

its long standing arms embargo on Somalia. This comes as Somali's fight against al Shabab, a terrorist organization that controls most of southern Somalia and that has links to al Qaeda, has intensified as the African Transition Mission in Somalia or at MISS forces are leaving the country.

specific terrorist group. There's like multiple Islamic States across different countries, but the one specifically in Somalia, they've they've beaten back with joint forces with the United States and the United Arab Emirates. But they are losing ground every second of every day pretty much to al Shabab, and they have

advancing let's see, they have encircled the entire capital. Yeah, they're advancing fifty kilometers pretty much every couple days, They've taken over all the checkpoints, they've closed all the embassies, they've withdrawn all the non essential staff, and are fleeing to Kenya right now. Al Schabad's strength has always been a reflection of the Somalians government's weakness. It's taught like it goes on and on about how they pretty much are screwed.

Al Shabab's military capabilities, financial resources, and ideological perspectives. President Hassan Sheikh Muhammad leading from the front lines of spearheading the liberation of terrorists or liberation of territories occupied by Al Shabab. So clearly that hasn't happened. Clearly that did not take place. So your boy Sheikh Muhammad is obviously not really going after al Shabab that hard clearly not anyway.

If all these resources are going that direction and they are gaining that much ground, they've circled the city to the level that they have, then you couple that with the fact of how much money has been embezzled in fraudule sent to them from the Feeding Our Future organization and COVID nineteen relief funds and autism therapy funds and all of these things that's just going to fund al Shabab. I have a hard time believing that they're need The Prime Minister's not getting a cut.

has stepped up attacks inside the city. In October twenty twenty five, Al Shabab's suicide squad stormed that capital and branch of the the National Intelligence Service in Issa, destroying valuable intelligence and releasing dozens of prisoners, just as thrown stones thrown from the Presidential Paza. Al shabab strength, however, has always been a reflection of the Somalians government's weakness.

Despite more than two decades of investment billions of dollars in training and equipment, the Smalian National Army is still incapable of sustained clearing and holding of holding operations. In an address before Parliament in November twenty twenty five, Chief of the Devent's Forces General not even to try to say it, y'all, the last name is Rage.

having a genuine national character. This is left the federal government of Somalia heavily reliant on the African Union Support and the Stabilization Mission in Somalia for security. Meanwhile, mogadesh U's politic political interference, sorry my eyes are like killing me. Interference and missions have left the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia under strength, under strength without so pretty much it's saying that sorry, it's hemorrhaging the donor support.

It's threatening the reduction of termination. The map that it shows is pretty much they have like no real standing. Honestly, it's surrounded the yellow part there. You guys can't see it because I can't share it, but it's contest. It pretty much the territories are completely covered in al Shabab,

and if they aren't, they're being fought over. And there's only like one tiny there's a tiny pocket up north that is the Islamic State in Somalia, and then there's one little port that is being held by the government. Other than that, the majority of it is being fought over or controlled by al Shabab as of right now. This came out just a few days ago.

the country. UN peacekeepers came in. They were kind of doing some things, not really making a lot of ground. The United States Marine Corps landed, and within two weeks peace had resumed throughout the entire nation. Then, when the Marines pulled back and UN forces took the ball and tried running with it, the terrorist groups and the warlords took the land back. Because that's how that goes enter in the Ranger battalion that was in Black Hawk Down

and that whole situation. And then I actually watched a documentary where these two dudes went to, oh shit, what was it called?

but he's like, yeah, I'm acutely aware of that. We need to get out of here because if they see that two white dudes are in these nice ass you know, range rover in this city, it's not going to go good right now. And that was years ago when there was quote unquote peace in Somalia. So again US forces came in, took back massive amounts of land and then handed to the government, who with all the corruption that's happening,

lost it all. And now the country is and basically I wouldn't even call a civil war, it's in a hostile takeover an insurrection.

by Islamic scholars known as the Ulama. Just so we're clear here the history of a caliphate being established. The first one was the Rashidun Caliphate in six point thirty two to six sixty one a d Okay, the quote unquote rightly guided Caliphate was led by the first four successors of Mohammad, Abu Baker, Umar Uthman and Ali Okay. This aerosol rapid expansion of the Islamic state beyond the

Arabian peninsula throughout the conquest excuse me. Then there was the Umayad Caliphate, which was from six sixty one to seven point fifty a d. Then was the Abbasid Caliphate, from seven fifty to twelve fifty eight AD. This is the one whenever you hear about like the crusades that were taking place. They were fighting against the Abbasid Kliphate. Okay, then was the Ottoman Caliphate. We've heard of the Ottoman

Empire before. That was a caliphate and that lasted until from fifteen seventeen until nineteen twenty four.

women and children and elderly with the refugees. Wouldn't the military aged males stay and fight for their country against the terrorists. But somehow they're all military aged males and they come to these let's just call them Western societies and they're trying to make it more Muslim, and they're being very loud and proud about how this is a Muslim takeover and that's the thing that's happening.

think it starts with the pea hang on. It's called punt Land.

I N. It's the same Roman Suman. So he actually didn't even become the leader of this until twenty twenty three was he finally was recognized because I don't think he's actually of the bloodline, but they like kind of made exceptions for old boy, so they decided to like

let him, let him be. They actually in twenty twenty two they got one point three million dollars in extortion imports, livestocking, agriculture just for their little When I say little compared to the map, if you actually look up the map, you're talking like a tiny little cube on the whole map that they actually were able to accomplish with only less than sixteen hundred guys. So they've been thriving for a good bit. Mainly they were doing extortion and piracy

and stuff. So that's where they kind of screwed up those is because when they decided that they were going to try and take over more Land, they got pretty fucked up by the government with the help of the US, So they did a whole bunch of attacks. They killed seventy fighters from January February of twenty twenty five, the main base fell, and then all of their other bases

fell within the same month of March. Now they're leader in their second in command and like less than a few hundred fighters are hiding and they're pretty much going to be wiped out. They've they've decided. I don't know why they're They're like just a dime in the bucket though right now, because Al Shabab is the one that's actually taking over everything. So and their history is a lot different than this history.

of the Arab world. He funded them and gave them weapons, kind of enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing, because they weren't about al Qaeda, you know, and they, although they might be some extremists, they wanted to put the hurting on al Qaeda and some other terrorist groups that America didn't like. So Obama threw a lot of money and resources their way. And yes, there's

gonna be people saying that's debunk that's not real. Listen, talk to me after you look up Operation Fast and Furious and how American cops were killed from cartel members using American guns that Obama sent to them. Then come to me about if ISOL was not also funded and operated by Obama. But neither hero were there. So ISOL became ISIS, which is now a remnant of the Islamic

state that is now happening in Somalia. It's all based back to all lies together, Barack Hussein anyway, continuing, that's kind.

have the same backing or funding. So that's kind of the history shortened shortened, cut to history. I didn't want to go like in depth about it because they've pretty much killed all of them there. But yeah, so that's a part of one of the groups that is having fighting at least in one of the areas that is exported extorting money and things from their local citizens.

bases from different countries. US has a very large base there actually, and you'll see the people that are like waiting for the trucks to get there for food. They're not worried about the food, They're worried about their next cat shipment. And again, if you've ever seen Captain Phillips, the dudes that were chewing those leaves and shit the whole time, that was what it was. The country, and

I mean this happens anywhere that's really destitute. The people are trying to find any way they can to like remove themselves from the situation and try to find a little bit of peace. So a cheap drug that grows everywhere is kind of the way that it goes. And unfortunately nothing gets done to help them. And for the women and children and elderly that are truly suffering in that country, they are literally thrown to the wayside. It like they said, it's government corruption top to bottom that's

led to this position. And I don't have a good feeling to anything positive is gonna happen anytime soon to fix it.

is what it stands for. It's what it came from anyway, And for anybody who doesn't know what the mujah Hadeen is, that was the freedom fighters that were based in Afghanistan that America funded and armed to fight against the Soviets that were in Afghanistan. Where is you know tim Osmond aka Osama bin Lauden. Perhaps you've heard of him. Tim Osman was his CIA handler name. That's not a joke, that's a very verified fact at this point. He got

his start with the Mujahadeen freedom fighters. So the Mujahadeen Youth Movement that is now called Al Shabab is a Somali based insurgent and terrorist group that the US Africa Command or AFRICAM in twenty twenty two labeled quote the largest, wealthiest and most lethal alcohol affiliate in the world today. Continuing here, African reports that the group poses the greatest danger to US citizens and interests in East Africa and is a threat to the United States so the background

to it. Al Schebob emerged in the mid two thousands amidst a vacuum of state authority in Somalia. It evolved out of a militant wing of the Federation of Islamic Courts that took control of Mogadishu and much of southern Somalia in two thousand and six, when Ethiopia, which back Somalia's nascent transitional government, intervened militarily with US support to oust the courts. Al Schabab used historical anti Ethiopian sentiments among Somali's to draw recruits and support, including among the

diaspora of the United States. Al Chebob held much of the south central Somalia, including the capital, from the late two thousands until the African Union. The AU forces gained momentum against the insurgency in twenty eleven and twenty twelve and reclaimed some territory from the group. Shabab has nevertheless retained control over parts of the country, despite international recognition of Somalia's federal government in twenty twelve and a range

of multilateral efforts to degrade its capacity. The group also maintains influence and the ability to conduct tax in government held areas. So now we call them an al Qaeda affiliate. So what is the relationship here? Right? So, some of al Shabab's founding members trained with al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and senior al Qaeda operatives in East Africa, including Fazul Mohammad, the late mastermind of the US embassy bombings in Kenya

and Tanzania, have been associated with the groups. After expressions of allegiance to al Qaeda in al Shabab's early years, the groups announced a formal affiliation in twenty twelve. So while Al Schabbab leaders appear to broadly share al Qaeda's transitional or transnational agenda, the group operates independently among other al Qaeda affiliates. The group maintains ties with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, with which it runs a smuggling network.

In twenty fifteen, some of al Shabab's members pressed for a shift in allegiance to the Islamic State, like you had said, raven Lee, this is where they had that big split. Al Schabab leadership rejected the proposal and launched a deadly crackdown against Islamic State supporters. A small ISS faction in the northern Somalia survived to the purge, and al Shabab remains the dominant group and appears to view the ISS cell as a rival. So this is the

background to it. Also the threat here. Al Shabab has waged an asymmetric campaign against Somali government AU forces and foreign targets in Somalia. Per the UN data, in twenty twenty two, it was the deadliest year since twenty seventeen, when a truck bomb in Mogadishu killed over five hundred people, a single truck bomb. That was al Shabab's deadliest single attack to date.

it's considered a mass shooting. Four is the number that is considered mass. That's bullshit.

twenty eleven. Kenya joined AMASAM in twenty twelve. The group has killed hundreds of Kenyans, many through hit and run tactics near Somalia's border. In twenty fifteen assault, I'm sorry, it's twenty fifteen assaults on a University in northeast Kenya, which killed at least one hundred and forty seven people, was the deadliest terrorist attack in Kenya since Al Qaeda's

nineteen ninety eight bombing of the US embassy. Al Shabab's July twenty twenty two incursion into Ethiopia is its largest operation outside of Somalia to date, reportedly involving some two thousand Al Chabab fighters, The UN experts estimate that as many as one thousand fighters remain in Ethiopia, giving it a foothold despite Ethiopian claims of routing group. Al Shabab has threatened the US and western targets in the region

and called for attacks against the United States. Of course, attacks on air national targets in Kenya's capital, the twenty thirteen Westgate Mall siege and the twenty nineteen Doucet D two hotel assault raised the group's international profile. Over fifty US citizens were reportedly in the Westgate Mall when the attacks started. All escaped, but six were injured. In twenty twenty, Alchabab killed a US soldier and two US contractors during a raid on Manda Bay Airfield, a Kenyan military facility

used by the US military near the Somali border. The group has not claimed any attacks in the United States. It has however, encouraged lone wolf attacks in its propaganda, and in twenty fifteen it produced a video identifying shopping malls in Europe and the United States as potential targets.

In twenty nineteen, a Kenyan Nationwide national was arrested in the Philippines and later extra died to the United States on charges of conspiring to hijack an aircraft on behalf of al Shabab to conduct a nine to eleven style attack in the United States. So there you have it. Now let's talk about their objectives. Al Shabab rejects democracy broadly, ascribing to a vision of uniting ethnic Somali inhabited areas in Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia into an Islamic state

under its version of Sharia law. It characterizes the Somali government as an illegitimate apostate authority that is beholden to foreign powers. Al Shabab leaders have repeatedly expressed their commitment to global jihad, as you would expect an al Qaeda group to do. They justify attacks outside of Somali as a retaliation against countries conducting military operations in Somalia and

as retribution for alleged abuses against Muslims. Al Shabab describes the Manda Bay and douce it D two attacks in Kenya as consistent with al Qaeda directives to target US and Israeli interests, and refer to the airfield as one of the the quote unquote launch pads for American crusades against Islam in the region end quote. Al chabov activities in Kenya more broadly appear focused on sowing in inner internal descent and fomenting and insurgency. Its fighters have specifically

targeted non Muslims in some attacks there. Wow yeah, so let's see leadership shitheads or leading shitheads on that one. It is what it is. Areas of operation and capabilities. Amazam and the neighboring militaries pushed al Shabab from Mogadishu and other urban centers and ports between twenty eleven and

twenty fourteen. Al Chabob's control of large areas in south and central Somalia, however, remained largely unchanged from twenty fifteen when Amazom's major offensive operations ceased until twenty twenty two, when the Somali government launched a new offensive incoordination with local militias and a grassroots uprising. Al Chabob has since lost significant territory in central Somali, but it continues to

conduct reprisal attacks there. While Al Shabab lost Mogadishu and other port cities initially restricted its revenue, the group has developed an extensive taxation system covering all aspects of Somalia's economy. Per the UN and other reporting, al Chebov extortes businesses even in government areas. It generates between fifty and one hundred million dollars US annually, according to UN monitors, and

uses at least twenty five percent on military purchases. Al Schebob also supports al Qaeda directly with its tax proceed proceeds. UN monitors report that Al Schebob is estimated to have between seven and twelve thousand fighters. Again, this is as a twenty twenty three that number has grown and as it's talking about the pushing out of Mogadishue. In all these places they have reclaimed the land, So keep this in mind. This report two years better.

don't fund this group. While he was at at the Helm, they actually made some pretty solid progress against al Shabab. The new Prime Minister as soon as he took office to now has done nothing of note to help fight against this group, and if anything, has kind of laid on his back and taken it as they've taken most of his country. So yeah, that's what I'm saying. I said it earlier, and I agree with you, Ravenle. I

think your boy is absolutely bought. And it also doesn't sound crazy whenever you look at the fact that Somalia has one of the most corrupt governments on Earth, if not the most, So why not, you know? Anyway, Yeah, that's pretty much all I wanted to read on that article here, But I am gonna shift over to the This is the Homeland Securitytoday dot US and this is a current or at least of January of twenty twenty five. This is what Homeland Security Threat forecast was for terrorism.

All right, So now we're gonna go to global terrorism. Despite shifting US security priorities, such as the growing military and economic challenges posed by Russia and China. Terrorism remains a top concern. The Global Terrorism Trends and Analysis Center the GTTAC, which compiles data for the US Department of State Annual Terrorism Report, consistently records between seven thousand and nine thousand terrorist attacks yearly over the past three years.

More than fifty five percent of these attacks have been attributed to Salafi jihadist terrorist groups. We're going to get to what that means here in a moment. In twenty twenty four, GTTAC documented over eight thousand attacks, with Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS and al Qaeda affiliates continuing to be major perpetrators. ISIS core in Syria, with it along with its affiliates in Nigeria, the Sahel, Afghanistan, and Pakistan were responsible for a significant number of attacks

in twenty twenty four. Al Shabab, another Al Qaeda affiliate, showed a decline in attacks in Somalia in twenty twenty four, but remains capable of using complex tactics such as suicide bombings, vehicle born IEDs v beds. More critically, Al Qaeda has benefited from the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, which has enabled the group to re establish itself. So even the Department of Homeland Security recognizes that al Shabab is funding al Qaeda and al Qaeda, he even has more of a

way of establishing itself. Ever since the Taliban took over in Afghanistan, they've basically been left alone, left their own devices to recruit and make money and make explosives and do all the things that they were doing in the first place. So there you have it. Now we brought up a thing just now, the Salifi or Salafi Jihadis terrorist groups. So that's a term that I don't know

if many people really know what that means. So Salaphism, sa Lafism, or Salifi's what everyone call them, is a conservative, ultra conservative branch of Sunni Islam that seeks to emulate the practices and doctrines of the earliest generations of Muslims known as the Salith or pious predecessors, who are the closest to the prophet Muhammad. Adherent's advocate for a strict literal interpretation of Islamic texts or Sharia, and condemned theology.

Theological innovations of folks often focused on ritual purity, religious education, and quietest approach to politics. So here's the deal. And if we have any listeners that are of the Islamic faith on this one, I would have to say, prove me wrong. Okay. Islam as a religion is a warring religion.

Within their books, within the Qoran itself, and within the Hadith and all these other books, it basically yeah, there are certain sections where it talks about peace and enlightenment and God and no doubt, no doubt, But even within their books, it is very clear that this is meant to take over the world by sword point. Either they can convert willingly or they can convert at sword point.

And that doesn't sound that crazy whenever you look at the fact that Mohammad himself was a con man on the Silk Road who later became a warlord, and all of his Solavs, whatever you want to call them, all of them were generals. All of them were warlords who went on massive killing campaigns to spread the good word of Mohammad. Take that however you want. I know that people are gonna start shitting on Christianity, well, Christians kiote

Bush too. Pause it did, yes, but pause. Nowhere in our book does it say to do that to non believers.

is not. That's not what they were preaching. Ever. For that matter, I know that the you know, Islam had a golden age at one point in time, and there was a lot of scientific innovations that happened because of this. And I understand that. But if we're just gonna look at the litmus test here, just on a really solid pH scale, here the spectrum one religion more than any other on earth is throwing acid in women's faces and going into rape gang modes more than any other religion

on earth. I feel like that's they have.

and they're like, oh my god. This guy was a pedophile. He absolutely was a warlord. He absolutely also got he was also a raging homosexual. That should also be thrown out there. He had like now nine wives or some shit like that. Seven ten I forget. But like there's also the night where he quote unquote fought demons, which actually, if you look at the story, he basically just got a train ran on him by a bunch of black guys. And the story was shifted to where they were quote

unquote demons. They weren't. The tribe that's mentioned was known in the day and age for being very tall, dark complexed gentleman with very long dicks, and they rode him all night long. And if you look at the context, rode him all night long had the same meaning in that context that it does today. It was a whole thing. Oh yeah, okay, yeah.

a Minnesota nonprofit founded in twenty sixteen. It claimed to distribute many thousands of meals to school children during COVID nineteen pandemic, who stole hundreds of millions of dollars while providing few or no meals at all to most of its locations. Although the state agency responsible for monitoring the school meal program repeatedly tried to cut off funds, the organization was not shut down until FBI raids and federal

indictments in twenty twenty two. As of late twenty twenty five, out of these seventy eight suspects indicted in the fraud, more than fifty have pled guilty. Another seven individuals were found guilty at trial, including the leader of the scheme, Amy Bach, while many others awaited trials. So, now let's dive into the history of Feeding Our Future, right, I mean that sounds like it's a good idea on the onset.

The organization was found in twenty sixteen and repeatedly applied for grants from the state of Minnesota, but was rejected due to allegations of mismanagement and abuses Smart Minnesota. The organization's tax status as a nonprofit was revoked by the IRS. In February of twenty twenty. After the onset of the virus in the pandemic and a large increase in the amount of federal aid available, Feeding Our Future applied to receive funding to provide meals to school children as schools

were closed. Although the Minnesota Department of Education knew the issues with Feeding our Future, it began giving the organization substantial grants after Feeding our Future threatened legal action against the state. Ultimately, after md OR the Minnesota Department of education began delaying responses to Feeding our Future's grant applications, the organization sued the state in November of twenty twenty, arguing that it was being discriminated against. It's obviously what

it is. It's discrimination, it's racist. Around the same time, the Minnesota Department of Education raised concerns of fraud with the United States Department of Agriculture, and the FBI began investigating. In February of twenty twenty one, Feeding Our Futures leader Amy Bach maintained ties with the local politicians, including Minneapolis

Mayor Jacob Frey and State Senator Omar Fete. We're going to talk about these people here in a moment because there was an election that just took place and Omar

Fate lost his Minneapolis mayoral race to Jacob Frey. It's funny because Omar Feta is a very loud and proud anti Zionist who believes that all Jews should be killed, and Jacob Fray is a Jewish dude, and they're both Democrats for the record, So the anti jew guy just lost to the jew guy in Minnesota or Minneapolis which anyway, anyway, an aide to Frase Abdi Salah ultimately pled guilty to wire fraud. So the dude who just won the mayoral race, the Jewish guy, he his I'm sorry, his aid. Abdi

Salah pled guilty to wire fraud. So just so we're all clear here, Omar Fete also was very guilty of the money laundering in the fraud on this shit, but so was Jacob Fray. Just so we're all clear here. Moving on, uh Frey stated he was unaware of Salah's activities. Oh, I'm sure. Another supporter was Minneapolis council member Jamal Osman.

Very funny that that's funny that Osama bin Laden's technical CIA agent name was Tim Osman and now Jamal Osmon anyway, whose wife operated a Feeding Our Future Meal site which received more than four hundred thousand dollars in funding. Federal prosecutors allege that only over around three percent of the funding granted to Feeding Our Future Meal site was spent on food, while the remainder was funneled to the individual

conspirators involved in the fraud. At its peak, the organization listed two hundred and ninety nine meal sites which purported to have served ninety million meals in less than two years. That's more than one hundred and twenty thousand meals per day. One site survey or surveilled by the FBI, claiming to serve six thousand meals per day, actually averaged around forty visitors. Yeah, that's insane, blatant for the say Grint fraud.

Future sued the state in response. Minnesota Judge John Goothman or Guthman found in the spring of twenty twenty one that there was no legal basis for stopping payments and informed MDE that there could be a quote unquote real problem if it did not resume preceding Feeding our Future's grant applications. Although he did not do what.

if y'all don't give these people day money. We didn't order it was that's one of those quid pro cro things, quid pro quo, excuse me, behind closed door talks Several months later, Guthman hailed MDE in contempt of court for processing grant applications slowly and ordered the state agency to pay a fine of forty seven one thousand, five hundred

dollars to Feeding Our Future. So, even though the Minnesota Department of Education was doing their due diligence and looking into every single case before it cut a check, that same judge find them for it, for doing their job and doing their due diligence and making sure this money wasn't going to bullshit.

COVID nineteen situation, led by the organization's president. Back on September twentieth of twenty twenty two, the US Attorney Andrew M. Lueger announced federal charges against forty seven former Feeding Our Future employees of their involvement in the nation's largest pandemic related fraud scheme. By October twenty twenty four, the number of indicted individuals reached seventy. In the spring of twenty twenty four, a group of seven defendants were the first

to go to trial. Near the end of the trial, an attempt was made to bribe a juror to vote to acquit with one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in cash.

related to the bribery. One of the individuals indicted for the bribery had been acquitted of fraud during the trial. Bro what so even one of the ones that were acquitted was found guilty of the bribery situation. All five suspects in the bribery case had pled guilty to the resulting charges by May of twenty twenty five. I mean, what are we even talking about here?

seven million dollars in restitution. The second trial in the case began in February twenty twenty five for Amy Bach, the ring leader of the scheme and a leading co conspirator, Salaam said. On March nineteen, twenty twenty five, Bakinside were both found guilty on all counts. Two additional suspect, the seventy first and seventy second ones that were brought in were indicted in May and June of twenty twenty five.

One was arrested just before boarding a flight out of the United States, and the seventy third suspect was indicted in early August twenty twenty five. Yeah, he was about to high tail it out. He saw the riding on the walls. He was trying to get out and got picked up at the airport.

fifty million dollars is alleged to have been stolen. Only around seventy five million had been recover as of early twenty twenty five, as much of the money was spent on unrecoverable expenses like luxury meals and hotels, or was transferred to overseas investments which the United States cannot cease. So yeah, no, I'm gonna go ahead and talk about

some of these higher profile defendants. Here. There's a list, but I'm not going to read every single one of them, but just so we're all clear about the amounts that

were being stole, stolen and done here and everything. Forty year old three million dollars stolen, thirty three year old two point one million dollars, a forty year old seven point one million, a forty year old three million, fifty three year old nine point three million, let's see fifty three wire fraud of five million dollars, fifty seven wire fraud five million dollars, to conspira to commit wire fraud and money laundering five million dollars is a sixty three

year old let's see. Let's go down the list here, Conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, wire fraud, bribery, money laundering, and passport fraud a thirty five year old eight million dollars is what he stole. Let's see going down here? Ooh, wire fraud eleven point four million dollars from Hodgie Salad. Dude's name is Hodgy like the jokes write them fuck

himselves here. That's not even us being stilly, like what the fuck?

this in mind. Omar fate a Somali American Muslim and Democrat state senator known for anti Zionist views since October seventh, lost the Minneapolis mayoral race to the incumbent, Jacob Frey, a Jewish Democrat. Local Jewish leaders say the threat passed us this time. All right, So let's continue on here.

After a high profile race in which was billed as the Zoramandani of Minneapolis, that's what Omar Fatee is known as, which is terrifying anti Israeli candidate Omar Fete lost the election for mayoral race in Minneapolis, Minnesota FATA, who is thirty five, a Democrat state senator known for his anti Zionist views and harsh criticisms of Israel since the Hamas October seventh attack, was defeated by the incumbent mayor, Jake of Frey, a Jewish Democrat who has hailed the post

since twenty eighteen and has now won a third term. So, your dude as a state senator and he lost the mayor race, why didn't you just continue to whatever? I don't know, I don't know. Uh. Frey led for the first count with forty one point seven percent of the vote compared to Faatea's thirty one point six percent. Because no candidate achieved an outright majority, the city's ranked choice voting system was activated, and Fray secured a majority in

the third round, confirming his reelection. So, yeah, I understand there's gonna be a lot of people that are saying there's conspiracy on top of conspiracy on that one. And

that's that's fine. It's fine. It's a thing. But yes, So as we were talking about this, a lot of mainstream media and legacy media are talking about this situation in the feeding our future fraud case, And I don't think it's misplaced, right, I think that this absolutely needs to be discussed and talked about to the maximum degrees. And now let's circle back to Trump talking about repealing his TPS right, the protected status on certain people, these

temporary protected statuses that are going by the wayside. I don't actually believe that these seven hundred people that he's talking about with Somalia are going to make a whole lot of fucked ton of difference in the grand scheme of things. Now, whenever you have seventy six people, seventy eight people, and there's more, there's gonna be more that get brought in for this. But like, let's just hypothetically say, going off of ratios here, that all of this was

being done by people on temporary status. They weren't. They weren't. Just so we're clear here, let's even say it's just seventy out of seven hundred, that's a pretty sizable chunk, Like that's that's not a little bit. And even if because as the numbers keep going up, it's not gonna be crazy to say that like probably one hundred people are going to be brought in for this. Maybe they'll see justice. Maybe they won't, but even.

and let's say you're sending them five hundred. Keep in mind that Al Shabab extorts their people, and the street tax is imposed, and there's robbery and theft and all these things. So even if it's third party, like you're sending it to your family member, but then it's getting stolen and still ending up in the pocket of al Shabab either way that gets sliced, it's still making its

way into the hands of the terrorists. And that all ties into what I believe homeland security is like suggesting whenever they say that al Shabab is the most well funded terrorist group in the world as at this moment.
