$200 Million in Somali Welfare Fraud Paid for Trips to Mecca

Feeding Our Future, the Minnesota food charity sponsor whose offices have been raided by the FBI over allegations of massive fraud that some estimates have placed in the hundreds of millions of dollars, claimed that it wants to make "the world a better place for all".

10 members of FOF's staff boast of speaking Somali, others of Arabic and related languages often spoken by Muslim minorities, but only 3 speak Spanish and only 1 knows Chinese. The organization's Manager of Operations, Food Program Coordinators Manager, Food Program Support Manager, and multiple administrators, all appear to be Somali.

The contact page is decorated with a photo of a woman in a hijab chowing down on a burger.

The pandemic destroyed lives, hundreds of thousands died, millions lost their businesses and jobs, but a great river of government money flowed to those who knew how to play the game.

As The Counter notes, “In the early months of the pandemic, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) acted quickly to loosen rules governing how child nutrition programs had to operate. Gone were the strict nutrition guidelines, the group dining requirements, and the in-person inspections. Instead, the agency focused on cutting red tape as part of a broad effort to keep snacks and meals accessible to hungry families while mitigating the spread of Covid-19.”

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.

Africans making Americans look like clowns and spending our taxpayer money. The RACE CARD is a knife at the throat of America. It’s time for crackers to start showing a little pride in themselves and start acting like Americans again.

They have known what the Somalis were doing for years in Minnesota. The amount of actual money they were allowed to take out by airplane was astounding, and they were never targeted by confiscation of their illicit funds. They flew the money directly to Somalia and funded Al Shabaab and other terrorist organizations.

What is getting them now is pure greed. They overcharged the funding by 200 percent and even the people who didn’t want to stop them had to do something. They will probably be the scapegoat for all the rest, which will continue as usual.

Allegations of massive fraud that some estimates have placed in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Minnesota food charity sponsor finds way to play congressman without being elect.

Where there’s free money, there’s fraud.

Actually, they have known for decades that Somali charities work illegal rackets. Funds are moved out of the USA through the use of Hawaldars, the traditional money lenders/changers/distributors and their Hawalas, usually storefront operations. They are used to bypass banks and to ensure secrecy from the prying eyes of government.

We need to expand this program, but from now on, make them one-way tickets.
