FBI raids follow spending increase from $6M to $192M
The $250 million Feeding Our Future scam in Minnesota was massive in scope and yet is never discussed. Why? Because the perpetrators were Somalis associated with the state party.
The sheer brazenness of it though remains legendary.
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.
These were impressive numbers for a charity that seemed to focus on Somalis in Minnesota.
The Feds staked out various Feeding Our Future meal sites and found no one at the places that were supposed to be feeding 50,000 children. According to the FBI, the money being stolen wasn’t used to feed children, it went into various shell companies and fronts operated by Somalis and was used to buy everything from a Porsche to African properties.
Safari Restaurant, which boasts “traditional Somali cuisine” like french fries and safari chicken quesadilla, where Rep. Ilhan Omar had celebrated her victory party, applied to participate in the Federal Child Nutrition program. Safari claimed to be feeding 6,000 children a day. That’s a lot of children. Documents note that the Somali eatery claimed to be serving a comparable number of meals to “the entire St. Paul public school district.”
Now the FBI is raiding ‘autism providers’ linked to some of the Feeding Our Future perps. There was a sudden ‘autism’ boom in the last 5 years. (Minnesota Reformer.)
The number of providers — who are supposed to diagnose and treat people with autism spectrum disorder — has increased 700% in the past five years, climbing from 41 providers in 2018 to 328 last year. The amount paid to providers during that time has increased 3,000%, from about $6 million to nearly $192 million
What drove this staggering increase?
A 2009 Minnesota Department of Health study found the proportion of 3- to 4-year-old Somali kids receiving autism services was as much as seven times higher than non-Somali children. More recent data show the disparity has only grown.
Idil Abdull is a Somali-American immigrant whose son has autism, which led her to advocacy. She opened an autism therapy agency and co-founded the Somali American Autism Foundation of Minnesota.
Abdull said before immigrant providers entered the field, white providers bullied and discriminated against parents of children of color. Minority providers saw the need to provide autism services beyond the 9-to-5 workday and stepped in to provide evening and weekend hours, she said…
Newer providers that better represent diverse communities are more flexible, offering services beyond the traditional 9-5 work day, some of them advertising that they’re open seven days a week.
The number of providers who diagnose and treat autism has increased from 41 providers in 2018 to 328 last year. The amount paid to providers during that time climbed from about $6 million to nearly $192 million.
The Autism Treatment Association of Minnesota says the rapid increase in the number of providers and payments correlates with the launching of the state program in 2018.
$192 million and $250 million are bringing us close to the half-a-billion mark and that is no doubt only a fraction of the ‘impact’ of Somali mass migration on our political and economic system.
Keys says
Let’s see … 328 providers get $192 million per year.
192,000,000 / 328 = $585,365.85 for each provider.
No other verified details, documentation, or accountability.
Better set up a Democrat appointed agency to monitor this at only twice the cost.
SCAM ALERT
KICKBACK ALERT
CORRUPTION ALERT
DEMOCRAT ALERT

What qualifications do these somalis have, GE?
What qualifies this woman….claiming discrimination, bullying, by Whites…to help her child?
What qualifies her to open a business and garner a lot of money?
I have a daughter with dyslexia. When she was in public school, no one was helping her, so I found out all I could about the problem, and homeschooled her. But that wouldn’t qualify me to open a business and help kids of other families.
Why should these mozlums get big money to do ***what***?
And just why are so many mozlums kids autistic? Who diagnosed them?
Keys says
My sentiments exactly, somehistory.
There’s no transparency.
somehistory says
thank you, Keys. I’m sorry I addressed you as another poster….I don’t know why.
Doctors who diagnose and treat kids with autism, have a license. But there is nothing said about that here.
Perhaps RFK, Jr. will look into it. He has had a lot to say about autism and so many, many cases of it.
Keys says
No need for an apology, somehistory, but thank you for responding.
I also hope RFK addresses the cause, or causes, of so many American children with autism. It is a great cost to our countryin so many ways.
I do not buy the idea that autism was present in American children for generations, but not diagnosed. I’d bet in Somalia there is not a single child diagnosed with autism, but hundreds of Somali kids in Minnesota have it.
Peace and blessings to you and your family during this Christmas season.

How would you know if a Somalian had autism?
somehistory says
One of the aspects of that disorder is the fact that the *patient* will look away, not make eye contact or respond when spoken to.
Adult mozlum males will do the same thing when an infidel woman speaks to them.
Perhaps the kids are taught that they don’t have to respond when an infidel woman in the classroom speaks to them. The little boys are taught that they don’t have to obey their own mothers.

Two thumbs up!
Steve says
They don’t. They’re f’ing scamming the dc idiots who are giving away your tax money. These f’ing muslums, illegals, whites, black and trash people of all colors have figured out, not too hard, how to scam trillions from the YOU and ME, the taxpayer, via the dc idiots. Imagine, just for a second, if we had any sort of legitimate oversight on any of these programs and if so, how that money could be used for good causes. Hopefully rfk can get the ball rolling.

At the end of the news segment you hear the reporter say CAIR is calling for the Governor to create a permanent task force to address the problems with autism in the Somali community.
But before that, Jaylani Hussein says –
“We as a community need to come together. It is completely unacceptable, and in a state where we have the resources, the manpower, and intelligence, and the community partners who are on the front-lines, we should be able to resolve this issue.”
So, that is why he wants the government to step in.
Troybeam says
Sucking the government and state dry of monies, till they get caught & where did it go….pockets and overseas.
Mike says
After the Trump administration comes to power, they should use R.I.C.O. statues to prosecute and sue Islamist groups for this kind of corruption, and hold them accountable.
Ideology says
It’s another Holy Land Foundation SCAM. Muhammad Barack Hussein betrayed Western Culture and Civilization with the deranged, irrational Muslim indoctrination as did Kadijha Angela Merkel in Europe. The American people never listened to the warnings of Robert Spencer-JihadWatch.org, Bill Warner-cspii.com, and many other intelligent persons who warned about “the religion of peace”?

DOGE to-do item: clean out all of Ilhan’s associates’ corruption. Prosecute and deport.

ilhan Omar couldn’t even be deported for falsifying her marriage to her brother to gain citizenship. That investigation simply disappeared. She has good friends in very high positions.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes; what a travesty. Pelosi spat in every faces repeatedly regarding the squad. Let’s hope that changes. The American people are owed that.

Thank you Daniel Greenfield for bringing this to out attention. As a daily reader of the Wall Street Journal I have not read one article about this apparent scam. Your article is the first I have seen.
Somalis have learned the operation of scamming using Federal funding and I wonder who gave them such inside information as well as the methods they could use to increase the money train 700% from $6 million to nearly $192 million in such a short time. This was an inside job like Insider trading. The fact that it is ethnically based scam leads one to suspect perhaps an ethnic insider. I can assure you that Ilhan Omar is making preparations to attack anyone investigating this scam as a racist.
A dedicated and invasive Congressional hearing should kick off an investigation. And there should be a committee inside RFK, Jr. Agency to stay on top of this. Be prepared to be tough because the closer one gets to the truth the more the arrows of Racism will be fired at the investigators.
