No one could have seen this coming. Those people who got the tours — the airport authorities were sure they were moderates!
“Cash Smuggled to Terrorists in Middle East from U.S. Airport that Gave Somali Muslims Security Tours,” Judicial Watch, June 19, 2018:
Years after Judicial Watch exposed the Obama administration’s special behind-the-scenes tours for Somali Muslims at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, millions of dollars in cash are being smuggled weekly from the facility to the Middle East. Some of the money is being funneled to a region of Somalia that is controlled by the Al Shabaab terrorist group, according to a disturbing months-long investigation conducted by a national media outlet. “These cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP,” the probe found. “The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.” The investigation is based on public records and nearly a dozen government sources with direct knowledge of the scheme.
A national expert on the illicit cash transfers helped track where the money is going once it leaves Minneapolis stuffed in suitcases. His name is Glen Kerns, a former Seattle police detective who spent 15 years on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) joint terrorist task force. Kerns discovered that some of the cash is being funneled to a part of Somalia dominated by Al Shabab, an Al Qaeda affiliate that has taken over many rural southern and central areas of the African nation. Kerns says some of the individuals sending large amounts of cash abroad receive taxpayer-funded government assistance in the United States. Sources interviewed for the story say it’s “welfare fraud,” mostly involving government-subsidized daycare. A separate investigation conducted by the same media outlet five years ago, uncovered huge daycare fraud in Minnesota that exposed how businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help poor families with childcare expenses.
In one recent federal case the feds raided a south Minneapolis daycare center operated by a woman named Fozia Ali, who billed the government for more than a million dollars in bogus childcare services. An FBI agent confirmed that Ali was collecting a significant amount of money for a much larger number of children than were actually attending the center and that some of the funds went overseas. Investigators subsequently discovered in records that Ali took a two-month trip from Minnesota to Dubai and Kenya, where she sometimes stayed at fancy hotels that cost $800 a night. “She used an app on her phone to bill the state of Minnesota for childcare services while she was out of the country,” the news story reveals. The fraud is so widespread, according to Department of Human Services officials, that people buy shares in daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in. In the Somali community it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money, sources told reporters….

Imagine that. Thanks Obama you treasonous bastard for creating little Mogadishu in Minnesota.
JayT says
I voted for the “other guy” each time Obama ran for POTUS, so don’t get me wrong – but if memory serves it was George “Did I do that?” Bush, who stupidly deposited Somalis in the U.S. without a so much as by your leave from the American people. You know, the same GB that read a CAIR approved speech to the American public after 9/11 and stressed how Islam was a peaceful religion. Yes, that idiot.
gravenimage says
JayT, George Bush won his two terms. The Republicans Obama ran against were John McCain and Mitt Romney.
The Democrats George Bush ran against and defeated were Al Gore and John Kerry. Bush was far from perfect, but either of this pair would have been much, much worse.
JayT says
Gravenimage, the main point of my comments was whether or not George W. Bush (his administration) was the one who brought the Somalis to the U.S. since the OP mistakenly believed it was Obama.
And no matter who won or didn’t win, our fellow citizens in Minnesota will have to continue paying for Bush’s mistake. By saying “much, much worse” it imposes the thought he was much, much better. I’d opine he would be better, but certainly not much, much better. You are talking about a POTUS that insisted Islam was peaceful, was basically counseled by CAIR throughout his presidency, and took his attention away from Osama Bin Laden to chase after his daddy’s adversary in Iraq, Saddam Hussein. Being an idiot and being a hater of America can be exclusive of each other, but neither is something worth defending, no?
Then there is the Bush – Clinton – Soros focal meeting point in the form of the Carlyle Group. Are any of these guys really that different than the others off camera?
Also, you need not remind me who ran and who won since their debates were broadcasted, and IMO neither party was anywhere near the mark of say Trump or a few of the other candidates (like Ben Carson, too bad he didn’t know anything about world politics as shown in the debates) who ran after Obama finally left the stage.
For example, it was to me an unbelievably ugly face for both Bush and Kerry during those debates to basically kowtow to the question of outsourcing jobs. Bush attested that we simply must look at being “global citizens” versus just looking out for ourselves (Hence, the idiot reference), while Kerry said outsourcing jobs was here to stay and couldn’t be changed, so just live with it and don’t forget to buy his Heinz ketchup, so he could motor around in his 70 ft. + super yacht. Do you see a big difference between the two there? Well, other than the yacht.
I think the father was a much stronger / smarter and more able leader than his son’s George & Jeb. You remember Jeb during the debates? The one who’s stance toward the southern border kept leaning more and more toward lax and amnesty?
If you hold to the position that for quite a while it’s simply been a matter of picking the lesser of two evils between the two parties for POTUS and Congress, you have my full agreement on that.
As for McCain, his photo op with Jihadi commanders at his side, all smiling, along with his denouncing Bachmann’s attempts to have an investigation of how high links to the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. gov’t went say it all.

None of these politicians have been perfect, certainly–some are considerably worse than others, though.
And Bush did not start Somali immigration–there had been a smattering for decades, but it got a lot worse beginning in the 1990s.
It got worse under Bush, and *much worse* under Obama.
JayT says
How did it get “much worse” under Obama? I’m presuming you are still referring to Somali immigration into the U.S.?
These appear to be the numbers from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security:
— 2015, 8858.
— 2014, 9,000.
— 2013, 7,608.
— 2012, 4,911.
— 2011, 3,161.
— 2010, 4,884.
— 2009, 4,189.
So, for a grand total of 42,611 Somalis resettled in the U.S. under Omaba’s tenure, though I could find nothing for his final two years, implying there were no further deposits.
Now here’s the crux of the matter – “some 97,000 Somali refugees have been resettled in the United States since 9/11. Of those, 99.6 percent were Muslim, and 28,836 (29.7 percent) were males between the ages of 14 and 50.” This would mean more Somalis were established within the U.S. in the prior administration (Bush) than Obama as you will note the reference “since 9/11”.
Asally says
This is why we need to pay attention before election day. George W. Bush was unfit for any office. He should not have been the nominee at all. And voting for worthless people just because there is an R after their name is how we got these nincompoops in the first place. We need to make the primaries and the convention system work by participating rather than sitting around watching “America’s Got Talent” or football while we leave picking out our candidates to the money interests. You might be shocked to find that Republicans in certain circles find mass migration very lucrative. They are as bad as the Democrats. It is these people who, when we have a Republican majority in Congress, put up roadblocks to stopping illegals. Republicans should be blamed – they have a greater duty because of their phony claims.
J D S says
Why aren’t there “Hearings” going on in congress to address this?
Why isn’t the Minnesota government doubling down on this?
Why aren’t all news outlets screaming out for accountability?
The answer is …Partly FEAR and partly COMPLACENCY

Are you sure this story didn’t originate in “MAD” magazine? It’s just too bizarre.

There are lots of Muslims in security–including at airports all over the West. I actually imagine this is quite common.
Jayell says
Just pop along and take a look at Heathrow, the busiest aiport in Europe (so we’re told). The place is infested with them. Just think of all the opportunities for devious skulduggery that lot could be getting up to there, which is no doubt why they wouldn’t want to blow things by ‘misbehaving themselves’. Of course, the authorities would cover up any scandal involving muslims at the airport, to ‘maintain public confidence’, naturally – just like ‘community cohesion’, which doesn’t exist either.

The Penny Savers could do a better job of it.

OK–now *that* is funny.
somehistory says
TY, g.
somehistory says
So, they know about it. What are they doing about it? Just letting it go?
Back when the story of the moslim tours was published, many of us could see these crimes …and others …being committed. It was also obvious to some that the criminals would be getting away with it.
Unfortunately, this is not as important as bacon at a moslim barracks. Even if the bacon bit is likely a hoax perpetrated by moslims.

Where is Lois Lerner and IRS when you need her! Obama and his crew were/are all traitors to

This is MUST READ ARTICLE and that too from Dhimmi poison Ivy league Havard..
https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/06/expert-warns-the-islamisation-of-a-country-can-no-longer-be-stopped-if-muslim-population-reaches-16/
Jayell says
The article states that islamisation cannot be stopped once muslims hit 16% of a population. I don’t think it explains exactly how a 16% alien minority can control the remaining 84% entirely off its own bat. There has to be active collusion going on, or/and something very seriously wrong with the 84%. Or some kind of devious process of anaesthetising an entire population to the effects of an increasing muslim presence rather like anti-rejection medication allows foreign elements to co-exist in the body. Except anti-rejection therapy allows the foreign element to save the body from dying whereas accommodating islam equals accommodating a malevolent and ultimately lethal parasitical infection.

U give them food and shelter and then bleed U dry with a thousand cuts.. The Islamic way.. Another Islamic truism from the annals of the infidel.
Rolf Wittwer says
Dubai seems to be an outwardly glittering “tourist” state, but inside it’s probably very corrupt and criminal.
Just like many similar extremely rich islamic states in the area.
They claiing to be humane, but do not take up a single Islamic refugee, but Millions of illegal Dollars!!!
Everything is allowed under their “Special-Allah”.
No Muzzies Here says
Here are some moderate foxes. They won’t eat the chickens. Let’s give them a tour of the hen house. They won’t be looking for flaws and figuring out ways to get in and eat the chickens. They are moderates. They are not dangerous. They are in danger.
underbed cat says
Is the term “security tour” code word for hired special employees for security.? Or handing off money to a person who gets to fly for free? It does not surprise me…but it should not be going on now. All major and minor airports could do this unless I don’t know what they did, transfer money at a machine? or a foreign money transfer station? The federal and state money to start businesses is the other potential problem as profits could go off accounting record. Funding terrorism abroad is as dangerous I think in the U.S.Especially by the newly converted who may have never been to any OIC Country.
Tricky stuff and they are clever. The officer ex- fbi a hero.

Cash smuggled to jihadis in Middle East from Minneapolis airport that gave Muslims security tours

Grotesque–but no surprise. What–if anything–will be done to prevent this from happening again?
underbed cat says
I believe in a video, Obama once said that the United States was the largest Islamic country in the world. That seemed a little far fetched at the time… I thought it was Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq or Iran. Now with 3300 mosques already built already in the U.S. and an the unconcerned public, that does not know Islam or the stated but publicly denied goal is to implement sharia in the U.S it is truly troubling..Imams are jurist who can issue fatwas for American citizens,silence speech, or brutal punishments or worse. More startling is the ignorance is leading the way as never Trump resistance, the more we ask for protection, the more the resistant left, turns every thing as moral moment in stead of a very late decision to protect borders, citizens and turn away the doctrine that is deadly. Bin Ladin and the OIC, declared war on the U.S….and no one can speak about it. The sharia is implemented using terror and deception. Maybe the travel ban can be seen as an halt on invasion, of a doctrine that comes with many refugees, the left sees votes I see a disaster. So I really am curious why no one saw this plan that Obama promoted with very refined language. The message to “come’ from many nations was heard loud and clear. We the U.S. are the kuffar, you the muslims are the best of all people. To me 9/11 said the same thing we called it terror.
Troybeam says
There are many reasons as to why one should never hire a Muslim, the above is just an example of one of many. No telling how much intel has been sent over seas and thanks to Wasser-Schultz and her hiring the guys from Pakistan no telling how much security intel was sent as well after all they had complete access to our nations security records and such, they hit the jackpot our nation in turn awaits to see what damage they can do with such information.

Yeah, most pet dogs could have figured this one out.
I see this was beyond the grasp of the Obozo Administration.

Why should Americans be concerned with what is pledged at peaceful Islamic schools….( hopefully not taught in public schools)
“Islam is my religion-Mohamed is my Prophet, – sharia law is my constitution- jihad is my way and dying for Allah is my greatest aspiration.” This is taught in Islamic mosques and schools according to ex-muslims.
T. Bauer says
Reported by King 5 TV on May 17, 2016, a number of Somali travelers (couriers) were leaving Sea Tac International Airport (Seattle) with carry on luggage containing cash between $500 to $800 thousand dollars each. The local TV news reported that a whistle blower gave them the information. Turns out Kearns was the investigator. Google: “Somalis traveling with cash leaving SeaTac” for the story in more detail. The investigation uncovered welfare fraud, but no prosecution…..again, check the website for the full story presented in a video.
