YIKES: 22yo YouTuber Punks Legacy Media By Doing Their Job For Them

This is exactly the kind of story that can create a political earthquake. It’s one thing to talk to an audience within your own political silos… quite another to break into the national scene and FORCE a public conversation.

The idea of the political left shielding systemic political fraud that just ‘happens’ to benefit them is hardly a ‘news story to the political right. But precisely because it benefits the political left, you hardly hear a peep about it from the Media(D).

If enough pressure forces their hand to address it as an issue, it gets the standard treatment we see with all such stories: a dismissive ‘Republicans pounce’ framing, a narrative flip where the ‘real’ victims are the ones Republicans want to see investigated, and the whole story gets dropped into a memory hole as soon as they can concoct the latest ‘GOP outrage’ story. Preferably one that can be used to accuse them of being racists.

Not that we’re looking at a new phenomenon here. The NYTimes got busted by another leftwing outlet, SLATE, when their secret editor’s meeting decided next steps after the Mueller Report failed to take down Trump as many journos had supposed would happen. In this piece, Slate outed ‘objective’ NYTimes for their plan to frame EVERY possible story about Trump through a racialized lens. “LEAKED: New York Times Staff Meeting Reveals The NEW Plan On How To Cover President Trump” And whaddaya know? They did exactly that.

While ‘trusted’ media outlets steadfastly ignored stories about billions of dollars in the systemized scamming of state programs designed to help the needy, one guy with a camera did some good old-fashined gumshoe reporting. He knocked on doors of supposedly ‘legitimate’ daycare agencies that had been taking millions of taxpayer dollars… and got stiff-armed at every one.

Like other undercover videos in recent years — the Baby parts, the Acorn Videos, among others — this video has taken off… and no amount of media spin is going to contain it.

All of the efforts of Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar (among others) to paint this as some kind of a racist attack on Somalians in Minnesota have collapsed in light of the cold, hard video evidence of so-called ‘daycares’ with no children in them.

Oops.

This post by Walz looks pretty bad in retrospect.

The FBI has issued a formal response:

CASE UPDATE: MINNESOTA FRAUD SCHEME

The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide.

To date, the FBI dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network.

The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions. Defendants included Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdullahe Nur Jesow, Asha Farhan Hassan, Ousman Camara, and Abdirashid Bixi Dool, each charged for roles ranging from wire fraud to money laundering and conspiracy.

These criminals didn’t just engaged in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well. Abdimajid Mohamed Nur and others were charged for attempting to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty and were sentenced, including a 10-year prison term and nearly $48 million in restitution in related cases.

The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing.

Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible.
