NYC welfare food is shipped in barrels to the Dominican Republic

A few years ago, my girlfriend’s brother asked me to take him to food “ Pantry”. I took him and because I had a new car, I parked WAAY out in the parking lot. He came to me with three shopping carts of products and I took him home. Later that week he asked if we wanted any ‘kavayer’? I asked what the Hell is that? He said Kavayer, Kavayer. It was too salty for them. I asked,”Is it spelled C-A-V-I-A-R?” He said yes they’d tried it on bread and it was too salty. I went over to his house and picked up 8 cans of caviar. How the hell did this end up in food pantry? It had an expiration date three months in the future.

I’ve got a better plan. 3 MREs per family member per day. If its good enough for the troops, it’s good enough for the welfare class.

Obviously, if the US recipients can afford to do this, they don’t need the food aid in the first place.

Moreover.....they are clearly falsifying official US govt documents to get these cards. That incurs multiple crimes----and several felonies----forgery could be involved.

"JUST HERE GOR A BETTER LIFE" HAS TRANS-MONGRIFIED INTO "GIMMEGIMMEEGIMMEE--OR ELSE."

There needs to be investigations on several fronts. Taxpayers demand to know the full extent of US dollars being drained from our economy into Third World hellholes----including US foreign aid, food stamp foreign aid, wire transfers of EITC SS, SSI, UI, welfare checks, etc.

Dominican travel brochures reveal it is a playland for US pols and rock stars who frequent its posh resorts---where underage prostitution thrives.

BUT the travel brochures reveal corrupt govt provides no safety nets for its impoverished citizenry----the govt relies on the BILLION dollars per year its citizens living here illegally send back home.

LYING IN WAIT FOR OUR TAX DOLLARS---THESE IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES CURRENTLY HAVE ORGANIZED PRESSURE GROUPS INSIDE THE US (here illegally): Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico (stateside)l Salvador, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela.

It was recently revealed that US Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat-NJ)-—using US govt authority and resources-—moved to discourage plans by the United States government to donate port security equipment to the Dominican Republic to detect drug cargo.

Menendez cited concern that the advanced screening gear might undermine efforts by a private company — a company run by Menendez’s major campaign contributor-—a friend w/ dual residences in Miami and the Dominican Republic.

Menendez’s intervention with the Department of Homeland Security came even though Mr. Menendez has publicly chastised the Obama administration for not doing more to combat the surging drug traffic moving through Dominican ports.

And it came shortly after the senator’s Miami friend, Dr. Salomon E. Melgen, arranged to meet with a senior State Dept official, accompanied by a former aide to Mr. Menendez........in a related push to protect his company’s port security contract, which is worth as much as $500 million over 20 years.

News reports also revealed the Dominican govt was meddling in US affairs-—trying to save Menendez’s Senate seat from the dreaded Christie appointment. Obama stands ready to write the Dominican foreign aid check——just has to ink in all the zeros.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC STRANGLEHOLD ON US POLITICS ELECTED DOMINICAN DEMOCRAT LED A LIFE OF CRIME

Disgraced Democrat---ex-NY Assemblyman Nelson Castro, a Dominican Republic native---was mocked for mulling a comeback---after he was forced out of his seat in a perjury plea deal. “What would he run for, NY’s best informant?” state Democratic Party co-chair Keith Wright joked.

Castro was elected to state office using shady means and was a convicted felon--later he wore a wire to save himself--and to help the feds nail his crooked fellow lawmakers.

Castro, 41, brushed off criticism: “As I walk my district, people greet me and ask me to come back. I served with distinction. Is there anything not to trust?”

THIRD WORLD ON US SOIL Is there anything not to trust, Castro asks? Well, yeah, Nelson---lots of things.

CASTRO'S LIFE OF CRIME---Castro's extensive rap sheet was apparently not considered a deterrent for public office. The NY candidate selection committee used corrupt Dominican standards to give Castro the nod---thus corrupting the US system. Castro, a Dominican Republic native---led a life of crime before landing in the NY state legislature.

<><> a 1989 felony arrest in Michigan for larceny. Michigan court records show that 19-year old Castro pled guilty to a misdemeanor conspiracy and was sentenced to 180 days probation.

<><> In 2003, Castro was arrested again in New York, this time for grand larceny. He was accused of pocketing $4,900 in unemployment checks while holding a job. He pled guilty to petty larceny, repaid the money and was slapped with three years probation.

<><> Then in March 2008, Castro was arrested a third time — for driving in East Harlem with a revoked license and as a scofflaw who owed more than $3,000 in parking tickets.

Even more disturbing revelations followed--lying under oath, votino fraud, and forging petitions for public office.

=============================================

Castro's woes began in 2008, when the Board of Elections began examining Castro’s eligibility to run as a resident of the 86th district after allegations that numerous voters were registered at the same addresses as his home and that of Castro campaign worker Steve Santana.

During an Aug. 7, 2008, hearing, Castro lied under oath, denying he knew the votino fraudster--Steve Santana--and Desdemona Cruz who was on a candidate-selection committee looking to put Dominican natives on the ballot to increase latino power in Albany. Cruz and the selection committee anointed Castro as candidate. Castro's extensive rap sheet did not deter the selection committee.

The fact that illegal Dominican immigrants used home addresses of Castro, his campaign worker (and other Dominicans?) in order to vote, means they are probably registered at their own addresses, as well.

How many times did the illegal Dominicans vote? Castro was never nailed on this.

newsflash: many of the poor in NYC do not have access to cooking facilities.

Answer: a donation.

The Dominican Republic has improved a lot over the years, and it’s not an impoverished hell-hole like Haiti. In fact, no Latin American country is as bad as Haiti, although places like Brazil and Argentina have slums that boggle the imagination. They’re wealthy countries and the rich are very rich indeed there, but some families live on garbage dumps so they can dig for food to eat or items to resell.

Now that’s poverty. But it’s all structural, based on their bizarre “populist” economics, which means that you talk a good game, call yourself a socialist or even Marxist, get the desperate to vote for you, and then go back to giving everything to your rich friends. But heck, that’s sort of what the US is becoming.

Pretty soon no country anywhere in the world will be able to get anything from us because ObamaMugabe’s policies will have destroyed us and our productive engine.

Shame requires a thought process. If they had one, they wouldn’t be liberals.

LOL - yes, there's that too..

:)

You’re right.

Let’s just give them what they want, don’t make them have to do anything for it. Give them cash so they can go out and buy what they want and then show up at a shelter needing feeding.

Do apartments have kitchens in NYC? Or do Churches have access to kitchens?

You hand the people that need food, raw food, staple foods and they will have to find a way to cook them, if they want to eat.

I was not aware that people in NYC live in housing that is not equipped to cook food. Well they would have to adapt. Maybe trade the xbox for a rice cooker.

I have been a lot of places and most of the people in those places had the ability to cook food.

I understand your feelings, but you are not aware of the reality of extreme poverty in NY. These people are not living in apartments, they are often living in tiny rooms with a bathroom down the hall. It is illegal for them to have even a hotplate, much less a refrigerator in which to keep food.

EXCERPT......food-stamp fraud doesn’t stop w/ shipping food fraudulently bought w/ EBT cards. A Dominican illegally in the US colludes w/ Bronx grocers to ring up bogus $250 transactions with her EBT card. In exchange, the stores hand her $200 cash and pocket the rest. No goods are exchanged.....she sends the money to Santiago — except when she’s not spending it on liquor or other nonfood items.

“We do it all the time, and a lot of people do this,” the Dominican scammer said. “It’s a way of laundering money, but it’s easier because it’s free." (NOTE: "free" to them---paid for by taxpayers)

A man called Jean, a public-assistance cheat in Santiago, told The NY Post he has peddled welfare food in Santiago since getting deported from New York in 2010. A thirty-something Haitian national, he said his scamming sister in Queens uses her EBT card to purchase food before shipping it to him from Long Island City.

“Every other month, I receive the barrels from my sister in New York City,” he told The NY Post. “Whatever I don’t need, I sell. “My sister in the US illegally uses food stamps to buy most of the things she sends me,” Jean added. He says the barrels are filled with cereal, baby formula, juices, olive oil and canned soup. He said his sister uses Long Island City’s Santiago Cargo Express, where barrels full of food cost $100 to ship to the DR.

When The NY Post found Jean, he was lugging an empty barrel down the street and hoping to sell it to a friend for $35. Many Dominicans then use the containers to store water for their homes. (SOURCE: NY POST.com)
