AN IN-YOUR-FACE FRAUD
Powerline ^ | 27 Sep 2022 | Scott Johnson

Posted on 09/29/2022 7:16:40 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Talk to someone who has run a legitimate free lunch program funded by the United States Department of Agriculture as administered by the Minnesota Department of Education. You will learn that it isn’t a way to wealth and riches without fraud on a massive scale. Feeding Our Future gave us fraud on a massive scale. It was open, obvious, blatant, and gross.

Aimmee Bock fronted the scheme and recruited a large cast of Somali participants to get in on the action. Bock’s modus operandi was to scream discrimination whenever anyone questioned the bona fides of her program. Her Somali recruits were the key. They got rich quick.

My friend Abdi Nur put it this way last week in an interview with Star Tribune reporter Jeffrey Meitrodt: “The people who were running the sites had been living in Section 8 housing. Poor people. And all of a sudden they were living in $1 million houses and driving nice cars. It was a free-for-all.”

Meitrodt could follow up with Abdi on the story of Ilhan Omar’s marriage to her brother. He has been telling me all about it since August 2016 and he knows what he is talking about on that subject as well. Omar played the race card on me when I asked her about her marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi and has played it many times since. Unfortunately, Omar remains at large.

Even the Minnesota Department of Education noticed Bock’s fraud. Yet they kept the money flowing. She screamed discrimination.

Bock was so certain of her mastery of the discrimination gambit that she kept it up when the FBI conducted raids on her and her recruits all over the Twin Cities in January. It was time to shut up, but Bock kept talking.

Bock’s live-in boyfriend is one Empress Malcolm Watson. They are depicted in happier times in the photo at right. Watson was convicted of felony domestic assault in 2017. According to the dissolution action initiated against Feeding Our Future by the State, program funds were sent to “a Wells Fargo account in the name of Handy Helper’s [sic] LLC between March 2020 and July 2021. Watson is the sole signatory on the account.”

Empress?!

It strikes me that, as I’ve followed such stories, that Minnesotans don’t like the fraud and the corruption, but they like being told about it even less. It upsets them, because it threatens to make them reflect on a lot of things they’ve always believed and wish to continue believing. This situation exists in all 50 states to some degree, but Minnesotans seem to cling tightly to their illusions.

This is Islamic behavior. This will continue for as long as Islam adherents are excused.

Ilhan Omar “some people did something.” (Re: 9/11)
When Omar was criticized, she played word games and kept the distraction away from Islamic jihad.
Now, again the apologists dare not implicate Islam. Nope. They’ll blame it on the dupe, Aimee Bock, executive director of non-profit Feeding Our Future, is named on the indictment as a ringleader of the fraud scheme. Or they blame it on Somali culture.
Yep, Bock is a criminal and Somalis are tribal, fraudsters and corruption is their history.

You can bet that Islamic groups aid and encourage this behavior.

And the huge influx of Islam adherents will increase!
“recently released State Department estimates indicate that a majority of those coming to the U.S. via the Diversity Visa Lottery during the next fiscal year (2023) will be Muslims, . . .

Why government runs these programs. They are not to “fight hunger.” They are to take more money from those who earn it and give it to those who don’t have to bother working and who vote democrat.
The best way to eliminate hunger is to get out of the way and allow the people to work, start businesses, and earn money.

If the government recoups 10% of the money, I’ll be surprised.

The prison rape contingent checks in.

Usual question: why do you think he is more likely to be raped, than to be a rapist?

Well... You aren’t wrong. Infidels aren’t even considered human under Sharia, so defrauding them in business deals has kind of been a thing for almost a 1000 years...
