In the news is “…a scheme that involved exchanging government SNAP benefits for cash at a discount, selling ineligible items like liquor and beer, and even profiting from “MannaPacks”—humanitarian rice meal packs intended for global aid, which were sold for $8 each. Undercover operations confirmed the fraud, with agents witnessing cash trafficking and noting that the stores generated minimal legitimate revenue. That wasn’t some petty scam; it was part of a massive fraud ring run by Haitian nationals in Boston. At the same time, another scheme operated by Yemeni nationals in New York was busy pulling off a similar heist. Combined, these criminal enterprises are charged with stealing a staggering $27 million in taxpayer-funded food stamps. And that’s just what we know about so far. This isn’t a story about a few bad apples. This is organized crime, plain and simple. Federal authorities say the Boston ring allegedly used comically small convenience stores—we’re talking glorified closets—to launder an incredible $500,000 in SNAP benefits every single month. That’s more than six times what a typical large supermarket processes. Over in Brooklyn, it was the same story, different cast. Yemeni nationals were indicted for a racket that vacuumed up $20 million, using fake and stolen EBT cards from at least ten different states. If this sounds familiar, it should. It’s the same playbook we saw with the massive welfare fraud indictments of Somali nationals in Minnesota. This is a systemic attack on America’s welfare system.” Is this more than ordinary criminality?

A viewer asks: “A number of large-scale government inadequacies in delivery have befallen the UK in recent years: Windrush Scandal (2018) (immigrant wrongly deported from the UK by the Home Office), The Iraq War (2003) (going to war without adequate intelligence), Austerity (2010s)(deep cuts to public services, welfare, and local government funding), The Housing Crisis (growing homelessness and housing insecurity), COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-2021)(slowness in protective measures), etc. Are these failures in governance all due to ET and interloper mind control? Is the UK targeted for historical reasons?” What is Creator’s perspective?
