The $250 million Feeding Our Future scam in Minnesota was massive in scope and yet is never discussed. Why? Because the perpetrators were Somalis associated with the state party.
The sheer brazenness of it though remains legendary.
In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million and then up to $197 million in 2021.
These were impressive numbers for a charity that seemed to focus on Somalis in Minnesota.
The Feds staked out various Feeding Our Future meal sites and found no one at the places that were supposed to be feeding 50,000 children. According to the FBI, the money being stolen wasn’t used to feed children, it went into various shell companies and fronts operated by Somalis and was used to buy everything from a Porsche to African properties.
Safari Restaurant, which boasts “traditional Somali cuisine” like french fries and safari chicken quesadilla, where Rep. Ilhan Omar had celebrated her victory party, applied to participate in the Federal Child Nutrition program. Safari claimed to be feeding 6,000 children a day. That’s a lot of children. Documents note that the Somali eatery claimed to be serving a comparable number of meals to “the entire St. Paul public school district.”
Now the FBI is raiding ‘autism providers’ linked to some of the Feeding Our Future perps. There was a sudden ‘autism’ boom in the last 5 years. (Minnesota Reformer.)
The number of providers — who are supposed to diagnose and treat people with autism spectrum disorder — has increased 700% in the past five years, climbing from 41 providers in 2018 to 328 last year. The amount paid to providers during that time has increased 3,000%, from about $6 million to nearly $192 million
What drove this staggering increase?
A 2009 Minnesota Department of Health study found the proportion of 3- to 4-year-old Somali kids receiving autism services was as much as seven times higher than non-Somali children. More recent data show the disparity has only grown.
Idil Abdull is a Somali-American immigrant whose son has autism, which led her to advocacy. She opened an autism therapy agency and co-founded the Somali American Autism Foundation of Minnesota.
Abdull said before immigrant providers entered the field, white providers bullied and discriminated against parents of children of color. Minority providers saw the need to provide autism services beyond the 9-to-5 workday and stepped in to provide evening and weekend hours, she said…
Newer providers that better represent diverse communities are more flexible, offering services beyond the traditional 9-5 work day, some of them advertising that they’re open seven days a week.
The number of providers who diagnose and treat autism has increased from 41 providers in 2018 to 328 last year. The amount paid to providers during that time climbed from about $6 million to nearly $192 million.
The Autism Treatment Association of Minnesota says the rapid increase in the number of providers and payments correlates with the launching of the state program in 2018.
$192 million and $250 million are bringing us close to the half-a-billion mark and that is no doubt only a fraction of the ‘impact’ of Somali mass migration on our political and economic system.
No one commented. I cannot believe it
I visited St Paul Minneap9olis around 1997/1008. I thought it was a nice place. They had larger than life Charlie Brown Peanut characters set up all over.
It was like Canada at that time. Clean, Safe..
Then more liberalism and an idiot for governor. Tampon Tim.
I visited San Francisco in 1978 and 1980. Stayed at the Hilton near Union Square and walked to Fisherman’s Wharf for several dinners at Scoma’s. I rode BART and did a walking tour of the Berkeley Campus and hiked up to the big gold C on the top of the mountain for a good view of the north bay.. You’d be flat crazy to try any of that today.
Some part of these cases, a burden to the taxpayer nevertheless, must be down to genuine autism caused by faulty genetics resulting from first cousin marriages.
Diagnoses made by whom on what criteria?
Perhaps not. I suspect that parents claim their child has autism – generating a fee for the agency providing treatment. The agency may or may not be competent, and may or may not do anything for the child – but shaving something off the treatment fee for a cash payment to Mum and Dad and word of mouth within certain client groups ensures a continuing influx of clients.
Government spending is a means of expanding power. The spending of that money buys support and creates demand that supporters meet. Not only are politicians buying support, so are bureaucrats who expand their domains. The grifters in Minnesota saw the spending genie out of the bottle and framed their wishes in terms of magic programs and words, autism, feeding, and minority..
Fraud and scams is the norm not the exception among Somalis.
Starting with fraud Omar.
Muslims are culturally a sleight-of-hand subculture, No matter, it will end up in their pockets. Come and visit Persian Hills, formerly known as Beverly Hills.
Anyone who enters Our Nation ILLEGALLY should be sent home! That goes for any Naturalized US Citizen that entered under false pretenses and FRAUD. AND, any “immigrant” that commits a Crime Against the US should be prosecuted, stripped of Citizenship if applicable, and sent home! The sheer corruption of the Somalis in MN is sickening. How many SUITCASES OF CASH have been taken back “home”? How many MILLION$ or BILLION$ have they STOLEN from US TAXPAYERS? From fake daycares to fake “feedings” there are so many reported cases that should be of interest to CONGRESS! I’d suggest that any Somalis on a Temporary Stay should just be sent home due to National Security concerns – Omar included since she sees her job as “Somalia telling the US what to do”!
Except “the people” aren’t actually receiving the money or any benefit. A small number of grifters are stealing it, just like they did with the food program.
I’d be curious to hear Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s take on this.
is the autism caused by inbreeding?
Maybe its easy to confuse a 60 IQ w/ autism??
The way autism is described and diagnosed these days everybody is autistic.
Increase the expected benefit of a behavior, including committing fraud, and you’ll get more of it.
Anyone surprised that increasing benefits to women who have children by men who will never be positively-involved fathers has resulted in an epidemic of kids growing up without a father should do the gene pool a favor and not reproduce.
We don’t need counterproductive “DEI.” The “E” more people need to learn is economics.
