here’s some video from a minnesota house hearing where walz appointee erin campbell of the management and budget office admitted under questioning by chair kristin robbins that her agency, wait for it, lacks enforcement tools to hold state agencies accountable for fraud. read that again. despite statutory duties to oversee fiscal controls, the OMB do not even really have a structure to do so.

it’s surreal.

and this is not incompetence, it’s agenda.

well, we let them police themselves. we “create a framework for agencies to use and (provide) support and resources and tools for them to use in order to identify and implement their own internal controls.”

put simply, we let the foxes manage their own henhouse activities.

“and when they fail at that, what do you do?”

the look of dumbfounded “what?” on campbell’s face here in response to this most obvious of questions is as telling as it is astonishing. she’s legitimately speechless. you can basically see “do? we do nothing. what the hell is she talking about?” rattling through her screensaver-mode visage. she passes the question off. ...

$430 million in fraud just in MN in a few days of looking at fake SBA loans. you basically cannot turn over a rock in the walz fiefdom without “learing” about some quality new fraud. it’s absolutely endemic, a fully metastatic cancer that has seemingly spread to every institution, statehouse, doghouse, and outhouse. the MN government is starting to look like one of these hulls where if you scrape off the rust, there won’t be any boat left underneath.

and this is not an accident.

and this is not just minnesota.

you’re going to see this play out all over america because this is going on all over america.

the fourth, unelected branch of government has become crime.

and, as they emerge, the percentages are going to shock people who blissfully thought that “sure, there’s a little, but it’s not too bad, there are people who keep an eye on stuff like this!”

something like a third of all payments in the US federal payments system don’t even have identifiers on them. you could march an entire army through that opacity. honestly, i’m concerned that perhaps someone has.

one of the really important shifts in perspective is this simple realization:

these government programs are not complete travesties because the people involved are stupid.

they are like this because someone wants them this way. ...

finding this business fraud is great. it needs to be done. but then we need to keep following the money and, in this day and age, money leaves a trail like a blacklight bedspread in a rent by the hour motel.

to whom did these businesses make payments and political donations? who was bribed, who was on the take, and which politicians were funding war chests and lifestyles through this?

these questions will need to be asked at a federal and at a global level.

how much of this money went offshore as cash?

where did it go then?

and how much of it boomeranged back laundered through networks of NGO’s and PAC’s and who knows what else?

that’s the real prize here and the reason the ground troops are panicking into open conflict and cries for insurrection DBA “sanctuary city.”

these are the threads that strangle when pulled. ...

these systems of unaccountable plunder are the antithesis of the republic, of rights, of reason, and of liberty. they are anti-flourishing, capture by stranglevines.

the situation is binary:

you either cut this all out, or you’ll live like this forever.
