Feeding Our Future went from incompetence to corruption

It's difficult to say that the Feeding Our Future is incompetence, not outright corruption after it was reported in the opening paragraph that "A man named Abdirashid Bixi Dool has been charged for his alleged role in the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme. The 36-year-old faces a seven-count federal indictment that includes charges of wire fraud and money laundering. Dool is the 78th person to be charged in connection with the COVID-era scheme that saw fraudsters steal hundreds of millions of dollars from a federal child nutrition program which reimbursed participants for feeding hungry children."

It isn't that Dool was the second or third indictment. It was the 78th indictment in the Feeding Our Future scandal. Further, that's just Feeding the Future indictments. There are more indictments that've been handed down as a result of the Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) Scandal and this autism scandal:

That picture is part of this article written by Jenna Gloeb and Liz Collin. Gloeb and Collins report this:
As Minnesota reels from one fraud bombshell after another, autism therapy costs exploding into the hundreds of millions, a $100 million housing program shut down over phantom claims, and new allegations of taxpayer dollars reaching overseas terrorist group Al-Shabaab, Alpha News continues to receive a flood of tips from residents who say something in their community doesn’t look right.

One of those tips arrived over the summer about a taxpayer-funded autism therapy center in Burnsville that has billed the state nearly $2 million since October 2023. Yet a neighboring business owner says the facility is almost always empty, and weeks of surveillance footage reviewed by Alpha News appears to back that up.

Fountain Autism Center LLC is owned by Sharmake Hassan and Sacdiyo Huruse Abdi Ali.

The business posts hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends, according to signage on its front door, but a neighboring business says it rarely appears open.

I'd argue that these operators know the DHS people pretty well. Further, it sounds like they count on these people not doing much in the way of monitoring. That's an indictment on Minnesota's Department of Human Services. Will this affect how the DFL votes? I'd bet against it except if We The People start treating the DFL like trash. They're ripping us off. That's either been proven or the DFL has reached a plea deal saying 'I plead guilty. I did it.'

Tim Walz's hostile work environment at DHS

Image
It isn't a secret that Tim Walz is running for a third straight term as Minnesota's governor. What's been a secret up until this tweet appeared is that Tim Walz's Deparment of Human Services is a hostile work environment. According to the tweet, "Tim Walz is utterly dishonest, malicious at heart & has dangerous intent. The 'folksy' public image Tim Walz portrays is not even remotely what he is like to work with. Despite repeated warnings about fraud, Tim Walz opted to ratchet up the retaliation and silence any ethical voices. Besides fraud, Tim Walz has allowed agencies to spend thousands, possibly millions on retaliation efforts to scare, threaten, and silence concerned employees." The tweet continues "Worst of all, despite unprecedented funds awarded or appropriated to DHS, our agency is now a hollow shell of incompetency as our programs have been destroyed & most ethical staff have left." Don't think that this much fraud happ...

Minnesota fraud gets national attention

Image
The Walz administration is getting nationwide attention, though it isn't the type of attention political administrations typically seek. Sohrab Ahmari didn't bury the lede when he wrote "There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland." Imagine the Outrage If... Imagine the outrage if "Hassan and her alleged co-conspirators recruited Somali parents’ children into autism therapy services — even if a child did not have an autism diagnosis — facilitating fraudulent claims. Parents reportedly received monthly kickbacks ranging from $300 to $1,500 per child, with some allegedly threatening to go to other fraud networks unless their rates were increased." It doesn't end there: Sure enough, both the number of autism providers and the rate of diagnosis have ballooned, with Somali activists insi...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
