Quid Pro Quo

Letter to the editor by Mathew Lengyel

On November 29th, a verified X account labeled Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary published a tweet which accused Governor Walz of systematically retaliating against state employees who reported widespread fraud and misconduct by the current governor’s administration. Specifically, these state employees (& their own families) were threatened, had their personal correspondence monitored, had their positions terminated & were publicly discredited for raising red flags concerning flagrant abuse of the state & federal social welfare programs to Somali immigrants. Governor Walz (who is widely supported in these communities), specifically, took direct legal measures to insulate the widespread corruption from the spotlight these auditors trained on it in order to avoid his responsibility to report it to the people of Minnesota or the Federal government.

These auditors describe governor Walz as negligently building programs to access behavior health and disability services without installing the requisite “guardrails [to protect the Minnesota taxpayers] against fraud.” Given the illegal measures he has taken to actively persecute state employees who raised questions, it is safe to assume that this “negligence” wasn’t a mistake - it was deliberate. Here, in Wisconsin, we see that as patronage, pay-for-play politics and familiar DNC corruption that harkens all the way back to the Modus Operandi of the political machine in New York City’s Tammany Hall. The Democrats have a long history of engaging in exactly this sort of behavior to skim proceeds from public funds to benefit their own political careers & fund their own re-elections.

President Trump has even seen fit to enter the fray, pointing out that of the 86 people charged with fraudulently fleecing taxpayers of over $1 billion intended for just child food assistance during the COVID pandemic in Minnesota alone, 78 have been of Somali ancestry. Other programs, costing much more, to provide disabled children with therapy, housing, educational services and medical care were also illegitimately billed for fictional services that never happened for fictional children who never existed. These crimes are very similar to the “no-show” union jobs the mob used to protect exactly because the people who were the main beneficiaries of these positions were the mob enforcers themselves who got paid by the Unions (as a form of extortion) to keep Unionized laborers under their control and in line with their corrupt agenda.

So where did the largess of this epidemic of criminal behavior end up? As you may have already assumed when dealing with criminals: nowhere good & in certain respects, this goes way past wasting money on flashy women, luxury cars, high-priced homes and DNC bank accounts. Al Shabaab is an Islamist al-Qaeda linked insurgent group which operates primarily in the horn of Africa (this means Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia). This group was behind an array of suicide truck bombings that killed thousands of civilians in Mogadishu (the Somalia capital) and direct attacks that targeted American military personnel operating from a Kenyan Army outpost in 2020. Tens of thousands of Africans have been killed as a result of this group’s violent extremism and hundreds of thousands have been internally displaced as a result of their campaign of terrorism to enforce strict Islamist law (including forced female circumcision). Government prosecutors have directly linked the “Somali Diaspora” in Minnesota with sending the illegal proceeds from the widespread fraud committed here in the United States to fund Al Shabaab extremism in Somalia.

This mob-like criminal behavior from governor Walz, the Somali community in Minnesota and the mainstream news media’s reaction to these stories is prototypical of who the modern day Democratic Party is, how it operates and what it supports abroad. Very few news outlets have bothered to connect the assassin who murdered several troublesome Democratic Minnesota lawmakers to this story and the Governor despite the fact that the primary suspect (who was literally a Walz appointee to the state government) has accused Tim Walz, himself, of ordering the targeted murders he carried out in a letter to the current FBI director, Kash Patel. We have sadly just come to expect the tacit endorsement many Anti-American terrorist groups secretly find within the criminal Democratic establishment of today. It never fails to astonish how one group of people can hypocritically say they stand for specific principles (like female autonomy or the rule of law for example) but then support the exact opposite with their own actions so completely.

If you think this toilet of corruption, exploitation, official misconduct and widespread fraud stops at the Wisconsin border, you’d be sadly mistaken. The Trump administration has begun audits of state SNAP benefits and released new work requirements for all recipients; however Governor Tony Evers has ruled out cooperating with the Federal government’s efforts. TDS and partisan politics might not be the only reason why Wisconsin Democrats are obstructing an audit by outside actors - they may be defending an illegal political cash cow and payoff to a voting base that is difficult to track. Of the Red states who have cooperated with the Trump administration's audit of the SNAP program, the USDA has already identified 186,000 deceased individuals who still manage to magically use their benefits every month and over half a million people who receive more than one payout every month. It is safer to assume that Governor Ever's obstruction is geared to protect the DNC in Wisconsin the same way Governor Walz is attempting to protect the system of corruption he enacted to protect the DNC in Minnesota.

DNC governance, International terrorism & deliberately turning a blind eye to widespread fraud for political benefit...
