Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

Where We Go 1, We Go All
Deloitte, a $74 billion cancer metastasized across America
https://x.com/beaverd/status/2013366996180574446
Excerpt:
Consulting fees
You were never meant to hear the name “Deloitte” and you were never meant to know that the government has wasted $74 billion by working with them. Quietly, Deloitte is one of the largest contractors “building” American government IT systems. Medicaid enrollment, unemployment insurance, child welfare case management, food assistance eligibility. When you interact with a state benefits system, theres a decent chance Deloitte built it.
In building the 600m row (and growing) database for somaliscan, I sorted through literally millions of invoices, and once name continued to appear; Deloitte. California’s unemployment fraud disaster that cost the state $32 billion? Built by Deloitte. Tennessee kicking 250,000 children off Medicaid? Built by Deloitte. The billion dollar software project in California that got cancelled after spending the budget? Ding ding ding, DELOITTE.
I decided to dig into federal contracts, state contracts, documented failures, lawsuits, audits, etc. I found a huge $40 billion tax payer farm.
The numbers
Over the past two decades, Deloitte has received roughly $30 billion in federal contracts and at least $10 billion more from states. This massive number wouldn’t be an issue if Deloitte wasn’t doing an irredeemably terrible job at providing the government with services. In every single state they’ve provided service (25) they had significant system failures. Wrongful benefit denials affecting hundreds of thousands, fraud vulnerabilities that cost the taxpayer BILLIONS, projects that ran 5x over budget before getting cancelled.
AND THEY KEEP GETTING HIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
California: Deloitte built the EDD system that processed unemployment claims. When COVID hit, the system couldn’t handle the volume and also had no built in fraud detection. The state paid out over $31 billion in fraudulent claims. Auditors warned about the vulnerabilities for years, nothing was done. And after COVID, California RE-HIRED DELOITTE to FIX THE PROBLEMS.
Tennessee: After COVID in 2023, states had to re-check whether everyone on Medicaid was still eligible. TN’s system, built by Deloitte, malfunctioned to a failure point and over 250,000 children lost coverage because the system processed them incorrectly.
CCMS (CA courts): In 2004, California hired Deloitte to build a unified court case management system. Budget was $260 million. By 2012, they’d spent $1.9 BILLION AND PROCESSED 102 CHANGE ORDERS. The state killed the project.
And the stories just keep adding up, across every single state contract Deloitte took, there are one or more catastrophic failures.
The Usual Suspects
I expected to find more obvious corruption when I started this. Bags of cash, quid pro quos, expose after expose. What I found is probably worse.
Deloitte spends about $1.35 million/year on federal lobbying. Their PAC gave $3.6m in the last election cycle, split evenly between parties. Theres a few million more in state-level contributions. These aren’t huge numbers by DC standards, not enough to buy outcomes directly. Its honestly conservative in terms of spending.
The issue is the revolving door of government employees that move between Deloitte and the government agencies that award contracts. State health directors leave the government and join Deloitte, managers from Deloitte take up state IT departments. Hill staffers that worked on healthcare policy show up at Deloitte.
Forgive me as I dive into specific personnel to paint the picture:
Seema Verma ran a consulting company called SVC Inc. in Indiana. Gov Pence paid her $6.6 million to help design IN’s medicaid expansion. When Trump/Pence won in 2016, Pence brought Verma to Washington as the CMS administrator controlling federal medicaid funds, CMS. CMS pays 90% of the cost when states build new Medicaid IT systems. Verma hired Mary Mayhew who lasted 3 months at CMS before becoming Florida’s AHCA Sec. under Desantis. Mayhew oversay a $135 million Medicaid contract to Deloitte, the same company that built FL’s unemployment system that was so broken it collapsed when covid hit. Deloitte got fined $8m for that, and was then rewarded a $135m contract. Mayhew left AHCA weeks after the contract was awarded to be the CEO of the Florida Hospital Association. The hospitals she would now lobby for are paid largely by...... MEDICAID. Seema Verma was also responsible for $200m in contracts going to Deloitte. Jennifer Ungru was AHCA’s COS, left to run Desantis’s healthcare transition team, then became... a lobbyist for Deloitte. Tom McCullion was DEO project manager who selected Deloitte for CONNECT (the reason for the $8m fine). He called the system poor and unstable. In 2019, AHCA hired McCullion as a $155/hour contractor to advise on medicaid contract bidding. He left and 5 months later, Deloitte won the $135m contract.
Theres a hundred stories just like those I covered, you get the point. To be clear, this is NOT illegal. Thats the problem. Deloitte is objectively terrible at doing whatever the government pays them way too much money to do. I cannot comprehend how you would spend $100 million building a medicaid management software or $1 billion on a court case management software that doesn’t work, its inconceivable.
$74 billion comes from the $40 billion in contracts and my estimated $34 billion in direct losses, not including administrative costs, healthcare costs, fraud, IRS modernization, Texas energy fund failure, the real number of waste is probably significantly higher.
The rabbit hole goes much deeper than what I divulged in this article. Deloitte will fight very hard to maintain their government contracts and continue leeching off of the American taxpayer. I spent a long time trying to figure out why nothing changes, and the answer was almost depressing. Deloitte’s systems are just baked into everything, a cancer metastasized into the bloodstream that feeds on tax dollars instead of glucose. I have a bit of evidence that might suggest payoffs, quidproquo, etc, but the truth is more difficult. Nobody in the government wants to fix it because the tax dollars keep flowing in.
The data
I’ve put everything I collected on https://www.somaliscan.com/investigations/deloitte - State by state breakdowns, federal contracts by agency and year, timeline of failures, political contributions, revolving door, etc etc all on the web.
CSV’s all available for download, all data is exportable. I dont know how to fix this but I know more people need to pay attention because nobody is and the contracts keep getting signed.
Not much today...

EU hammers out policies to harden borders amid likelihood of refugees from deadly uprising in Iran
Iranian official says at least 5,000 people have been killed in the protests that started in late December.
he European Union is hammering out the terms of new policies to harden its borders as the political uprising in Iran raises the likelihood of a new wave of refugees. And any agreement would likely test the bloc’s fragile consensus over which migrants get protection and which ones should be sent home.
The EU’s long-delayed Migration and Asylum Pact is scheduled to enter into force in June, but its terms for implementation are still being negotiated.
Frontex, the European Union’s Border and Coast Guard Agency, reported last month that arrivals of “irregular” migrants – those who arrive without legal authorization – totaled just under 167,000 over the first 11 months of 2025, a decline of 25% compared to the same period a year earlier.

America First Legal asks SCOTUS to intervene on Washington trans kids law
America First Legal contends that the law incentivizes children to run away from their parents.
America First Legal on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to intervene in a case challenging a Washington state law separating children from parents who refuse to acknowledge their preferred gender identity.
The Ninth Circuit previously rejected the challenge, asserting that the concerned parents who brought the suit lacked standing given their children had not been taken from them.
“It is certainly important to Petitioners, who are parents of gender-confused children (including one child who previously ran away) and who do not wish to affirm that confusion,” America First Legal wrote in a filing. “They challenged Washington laws designed to give runaway minors ‘genderaffirming treatment’ without parental notice or consent. But despite their being the challenged laws’ target, and despite their alleging specific current harms and a substantial risk of specific future harms to their ability to parent, the Ninth Circuit held that Petitioners lacked Article III standing.”

New Hampshire College Students Divided on Campus Carry Bill
“So-called gun-free zones are not violence-free zones. We know that”
‘Campus carry’ bill has NH college students divided: Do guns mean freedom or fear?
At age 19, Alexander Fenton can legally vote, fight in a war and carry a gun.
When he steps onto the campus of the University of New Hampshire, where he studies business, the latter goes out the window. The college prohibits the possession and use of firearms.
Fenton doesn’t think that’s fair — and a proposed law could change it.
“College students in New Hampshire are legal adults,” Fenton told a legislative committee on Wednesday. “We vote, we sign contracts, we serve in the military, yet the moment we step onto campus, we lose a constitutional right that every other adult in this state enjoys.”

Federal Judge Shielding Foreign Anti-Israel Campus Activists From Deportation
“will issue an order aimed at protecting academics who challenged the arrest and deportation of non-citizen, pro-Palestinian activists on college campuses”
Describing President Donald Trump as an “authoritarian,” a federal judge said on Thursday he will issue an order aimed at protecting academics who challenged the arrest and deportation of non-citizen, pro-Palestinian activists on college campuses.
At a hearing in Boston, U.S. District Judge William Young outlined an order he will issue in a week that seeks to prevent the administration from changing the immigration status of any academics in the case who are themselves non-citizens.
Any such change by the administration would be presumed to “be in retribution for their participation in this lawsuit,” the judge said. Young said he would then require the government to prove in court it was seeking to deport them for “appropriate” reasons.
In a September ruling, opens new tab that sharply criticized Trump’s actions, the judge concluded the departments of State and Homeland Security violated the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment by chilling the free speech of non-citizen academics at universities nationally.
