Here we go again, another Democrat run state, more stolen tax payer money going to naturalized and illegal immigrants.

Federal prosecutors announced charges in a massive fraud scheme Tuesday. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston said the suspects stole the identities from victims across the country and used them to defraud U.S. taxpayers out of more than $1 million dollars.

At a press conference in Boston, authorities outlined the alleged scheme to steal supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) and pandemic unemployment benefits. U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley said it involved four people who allegedly stole the identities of more than 100 victims, including six children, and used them to illegally obtain government benefits. “Spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to purchase inventory for a restaurant in Massachusetts owned by the lead defendant, Raul Fernandez-Vicioso, a naturalized citizen from the Dominican Republic. Fernandez-Vicioso and his co-defendants, two of whom do not have legal immigration status, and one is a green card holder, use the stolen EBT cards to purchase large quantities of expensive bulk food items, such as multiple-pound packages of chicken, beef, and pork, at various local wholesalers and food markets to stock their restaurant at no expense to themselves, but at considerable expense to taxpayers,” she explained. I’m sure all four of these defendants not only voted in Massachusetts, but voted in Rhode Island as well.

President Trump has directed the Justice department to investigate this tip of the iceberg fraud. Massachusetts is overrun with illegal immigrants.

Previously Maura Healy, Ma. Governor, took over dozens of hotels, kicking out the tenants and placing the illegals in the rooms. In my home town there were 3 hotels the state took over and leased. Crime around the hotels went through the roof. Shoplifting, cars being stolen and Brocken into, there were even prostitutes on the corner of Elm St. and Washington St. just beside Bank of America. I’m sure they had accounts there.

The Feds have asked Governor Healy to hand over a list of all recipients of EBT card and snap benefits to try to uncover this Minnesota style fraud going on. Rhode Island in June of 2024 told Governor Healy that the 117 fraudulent identities were all shown to be living in 2 apartments and all were collecting snap and EBT card benefits, Healy did nothing. Healy has also refused the Feds request for the list of EBT and snap beneficiaries.

Elon Musk had uncovered 700 billion in fraud. Now Scott Bessent, who looked pissed off, came out and said all of this fraud is adding up closer to over 1.7 trillion dollars. This in the end will become the amount of deficit spending America makes each year. So we are paying for fraud that will soon financially collapse America. Isn’t having open borders great?

We must not forget before her first term as governor it was uncovered, Maura Healy the then Massachusetts attorney general had hand picked 3 female state police officers and was having affairs with them. I truly dislike bringing this up being a lesbian myself, but if I’m not going to tell you the truth why should I be writing this. Of coarse Maura is up for reelection this November and if this fraud turns into what I’m sure is another Minnesota, Maura will go the way of Tim Walz. Like in Minnesota this is a pay to play scam. The people in power look the other way allowing taxpayer money to go to these illegals and the illegals give the democrats their votes. Massachusetts voted in a law giving illegals drivers licenses which automatically gives them the right to register to vote. Let’s pray this comes out and another communist Marxist traitor gets kicked to the curb J.Goodrich

Roger Beal's avatar

One point seven trillion dollars ... that's real money. How much of America's budget deficit is really just theft by fraud?

James Goodrich's avatar

We’re printing money to give to crooks that will soon destroy our own country! America has become the most corrupt country in the history of the world. Like Trump closed the border he should shut down the money printing presses.

Jake's avatar

The MSM won't memory hole the fraud. It affects everybody, even Dems. It may take ICE off the front pages soon. Chances are greater than zero that it will be the main issue MAGA runs on in the midterms. Nobody likes fraud unless they are in on the grift.

Unwoke in Idaho's avatar

Wouldn’t that require the GOP to actually message effectively and like talk about it? That’s a real heavy lift.

MMP's avatar

It's funny you mention GOP messaging. Megyn Kelly interviewed JD Vance yesterday and she said that the most asked question from her audience is how can the GOP better get its message out there. His answer we decent. He said that both he and the president will be traveling around the country a lot more this year (before the midterms) and they will also be tapping both MSM and non trad media forms as they did in the 2024 campaign. As we know, neither Trump nor Vance are afraid to talk to anyone and Vance is especially effective when he's communicating and answering questions even when they are hostile.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

I am REALLY hoping JD runs for Pres next with little Marco as his running mate.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

I’m happy she asked that question. Getting the word out is the key. I’m in the process of watching that interview. It’s a long one.

Jake's avatar

Yes. Chances are greater than zero that his plan includes some form of legislation that hammers the fraudsters. Dem pols will fight another 90/10 issue. He'll barnstorm on it too. He always has a plan.

GregWA's avatar

Legislation is nice, but large scale, public and crushing punishments are the only thing, THE ONLY THING, that will get the fraudsters attention. Spare no one.

Apply the law (fines, confiscation of wealth, prison) to the max and THEN blacklist these people! Do NOT allow them to leave the country or they'll just set up shop somewhere else. Keep them here...living under a bridge and not being able to afford drugs!

And, after the crushing legal action we tell them where the rope store is...right next to the rickety stool store (h/t Norm MacDonald!)

tlc10's avatar

It seems 'shutting' it all down is the only way to begin eliminating it. Perhaps SNAP and other 'benefit' recipients should be made to reapply with proof of need, etc...The daily stories of ongoing fraud just boggles the mind! Not only that this has been allowed to happen, but that it's been allowed to happen for years! God help this country to get things right. I'm grateful to Trump and Scott Bessent (and others) for trying to correct this, but it seems obvious that counting on individuals (and certain states) to give up information re: crimes and accepting the penalties isn't likely. Matt Walsh recommended using the IRS to target illegal activity...

perhaps that'd be a start. And I always wondered how MN Somali's got suitcases full of cash right through airport security? We're even questioned at our local bank if we deposit or withdraw a few thousand dollars at a time. Average taxpaying citizens see all the double standards and lack of penalties...it's exhausting :(

James Goodrich's avatar

tic10, imagine if you ran a business that took in 600,000 dollars a year(government takes in 6 trillion) and 200,000 of that was stolen (2 trillion stolen from the U.S. in fraud) the first thing I would do is take the check book and be the only one that allows money out of that account. I realize there is no one person that controls spending so it’s up to house republicans I would suppose,

Gary's avatar

we need solid Trump advocates, not rhinos. Trump knows how to make it happen, but he has to have support, meaning all of us have to make sure our "representatives" support his efforts. Too many Rhinos are compromised. Rhinos are like Herpes!!! They never go away, they just don't show up for a while.

Jackie Ferruzzo Horton's avatar

yep exactly what Charlie Kirk was in the process of doing with his own org TPUSA before he was murdered. Checking accounts is dangerous business.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

Totally agree, tlc10. Scrap the entire program roster and everyone must reapply! Excellent suggestion.

It seems that every day another local politician is arrested for fraud, stories that don't even register on the national or even regional radar. A lot of the fraud is related to "Covid" programs, just now coming to light.

Jo Ann's avatar

Just like accounting for number of illegals in our country, so grows the fraud tab. Our government can’t account for either. IRS remains the accountability police and their efforts are focused on keeping a boot on the neck of taxpayers. Our tax dollars are fuel for the machine. How about an AI prompt to develop a class action lawsuit representing taxpayers against theft and malpractice of the US Government?

At least 80% is my guess, and it’s their job to prove me and the rest of the tax slaves in this country wrong.

Just look at HHS and how they and they and their underlings funded crime after crime after crime against humanity!! And forced their morbid, disastrous, and inhumane "standards of care".

Regarding the piece on the death of transbullshitism. "The revolution isn’t just dying on the operating table. It’s being wheeled to the morgue by its own doctors."

My hope and prayer is that every child who was mutilated and put on poisons (hormone blockers, etc) to destroy their God given masculinity or femininity can somehow recover from this crime against them and humanity - and I hope and pray that every one of them gets a good lawyer and sues the "doctor" and "hospital" and "medical" association into the poor house, and I'd prefer criminal prosecutions so they can go to prison. And, MOST ESPECIALLY, I hope their rotten, virtue signalling parents burn in hell in eternity.

The schools and their teachers, and Disney and it’s ilk all need to rot in hell too.

Sir Jeff Morency, Ph.D.'s avatar

According to Franklin O'Kanu from Unorthodoxy on Substack (<unorthodoxy@substack.com>) , "The key truth for you to understand is that “income tax” only applies to those whose compensation is a product of activities performed by direct permission of the government (for example, federal employees)."

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

I am sure that is "true" Sir Jeff, but, as we all can infer:

Just stop paying income taxes and see how far that gets you.

If most of the fraud is uncovered, the USA should be running in the red and maybe even having a surplus.

Couldn’t AI be used to ferret out the information without having to rely on perfidious democrat criminal pols?

GregWA's avatar

Maybe using the right new "Claude skill"? Good idea!

dancingtime's avatar

My problem with relying on AI is that it is drawing from data in the system. On research which might include subjective data, or bad data, it won't know the difference.

RJ Rambler's avatar

This is true! I've used it a couple of times and for all the medical research, I'm not a professional, it gave me the same old approved info unless I bitch slapped it.

I have had to revise the wording of my query knowing that I was not getting an answer to my real question....you get the answer to the question asked....it's like taking a multiple choice question....you kinda have to know which answer sounds most correct...

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

I agree, RJ Rambler. Oftentimes it tells me no information is available when I know good and well that it is. Makes me wonder…

rolandttg's avatar

Maine kicked people out of hotels too including vets. Can't wait to see the fraud that is revealed there.

dancingtime's avatar

It makes one wonder what would compel someone to make decisions like that....and where is the VA when vets are included?

Well, at least 22 veterans commit suicide every day.

dancingtime's avatar

Maura being a female, one could say that she hires her own....

GregWA's avatar

What do you all think of this idea: Trump announces that ALL government aid will end in 1 year (yeah, I know he needs Congress to do this) but that the money will be returned to taxpayers. So, churches, other charities, have one year to put in place their own programs to pick up the slack.

Let's say the cut in funding is $2T but $1.7T of that is fraud. And the churches and charities are much better, not perfect, at detecting it. So, $2T comes back to locals but they only need to spend $300B to pick up the slack, sans fraud (Portlanders, "sans" is a Latin term "without" that snooty people use to show they are smart, well maybe not smart but college graduates). Or maybe they have to spend $500B if there's still $200B in fraud. Still saved $1.5T.

Of course, to really work, you'd have to get blue cities and States on board. There will be ice cream on Mars before that happens!

Robin Esau's avatar

I would love this. As someone from a small community, our local charities are all about good stewardship and making sure scammers are identified so real needs are met.

Thank you for this information. A lotta house cleaning needs to get done in this country. Dear Feds, look at NY and Maine next and then come on down to VA and poke around. But our gov. in VA probably has protection of her former employer, the CIA.

Gary's avatar

the first time I worked international. was in Guatemala. The supervisor, an American man with lots of 3rd world experience pulled me aside and said. "You need to always remember in these countries, people have little. When they see you they will take advantage any way they can because, YOU ARE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY THEY MAY HAVE THAT DAY". That is precisely what the left has let into our country.

It also puzzles me that we go half way around the world to eliminate communism in some country but we let them continue here!! I wish we could kick them all out. Sanders, AOC, Omar, etc.

Quiltlady's avatar

That has puzzled me as well. Recently discovered we were in those countries for other reasons as well. We have a two faced government. They tell us one story while another story is taking place in the background. We might even call it a multifaced government.

I believe that is usually referred to as the CIA.

Point of grammar: "...steal 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 the Democrat cottage welfare industry."

They should open the books all the way back to LBJ's Great Society spending deluge. We know in our heart of hearts that whither massive government spending, thither massive fraudulent opportunity.

In the same manner that "global cooling" became "global warming" beame "climate CHANGE," so LBJ's "war" to END poverty became the war to CHANGE poverty, into something nobody seems to talk about escaping anymore.

If “government spending” was limited to what is actually called for in the Constitution, none of this would be happening. We’ve gone so far off the rails I wonder if the ship will ever right itself. (Sorry for the mixed metaphors)

David Nelson's avatar

Agreed. Things are so bad, however that we grope for even mixed metaphors to express situations.

Fraud against government programs is human nature. There are grifters at all levels of society. Maybe more so now than in previous generations (Maybe? Ha!)

So, the problem isn't the fraudsters per se (Portlanders, "per se" is an old Latin term meaning "in itself" or "by itself"), it's the naivete that a Government program is well protected against fraud. Fraud is baked in.

Example: in my YOUT, a close family member collected unemployment. He worked in the truck building industry, over the road trucks (you'd recognize the name of the company immediately). Very cyclical industry and he was low man on the labor (Teamsters!) totem pole. So, every downturn, he got laid off.

He was single then, no kids, so he'd head up the mountains, camped at a lake (summer!). He'd go into town each week to collect his unemployment check. He told me, "if they wanted me to get a job, all they have to do is cut off my unemployment."

He's probably not proud of his actions, but to me they illustrate the problem with all government "aid".

CStone's avatar

And when my husband got laid off, back in the 80’s, refused to sign up for unemployment. I was so proud of him, while most others were puzzled……we have never been wealthy…….

But Yehovah, in His Wisdom, was giving us an opportunity to either Trust Him or turn from Him.

He fed us and clothed us and we made it for an entire year on Trust. Later, when a worse trial came, we KNEW what He could do. And HE did it again. Different trial, SAME reaction.

FAITHFULNESS. He never fails.

As Jeff would say, the cockroaches are scurrying.

I don't care who sleeps with who, (it's really none of my business), BUT when a person in power over a subordinate has relations with that person, it is not right and should be fired, impeached, etc. Look at Bill Clinton, was disbarred, but he should have got more.

Right. When it happens in the workplace, people get fired. When it happens in government, people get promoted...

I read the whole comment but, to be honest, it would have been easier if there were actual paragraphs....I realize that current trend is two spaces between a period and the start of the next sentence but, to be honest, it makes everything look like run-on senteces....

Difficult to read on an iPad and I wouldn't have bothered on a phone....just my suggestion for long comments...break it up.

James Goodrich's avatar

Hi dancingtime, there are paragraphs but I do apologize, I have had people tell me this in the past, I’ve tried to be better and will continue to do that. Maybe not so much on this comment but I’ve been told to use as few words as needed to get to the point which I struggle with also, so I apologize. I sometimes add to a comment which doesn’t always help. I appreciate your comment! Thank You.

dancingtime's avatar

I could see that there were paragraphs but not the skipped line to separate them. This is a visual thing. You can see it in cheaply published books where the choice of font, as well as spacing between sentences and lines, etc, make it visually difficult to read.

Since I grew up in then Mafia-controlled RI and spend 10-12 days every month in MA, I was interested in what you had to say. It amazes me that second generation Chinese (Wu) are communists. But, my position has been for a long time that the Chinese come here for two reasons: (1) for freedom or (2) to spy.....and, if they still have family there in mainland China, both. I know many Chinese from China...back and forth they go....There are only a couple who I actually trust are here just for freedom.

VelvetStitching's avatar

Since I usually type comments on my phone it is hard to add paragraphs!

I have to go back re-read and insert these!

At times, auto-correct wants to remove and spell-check words to nonsensical oblivion status! Ugh!

Ah well!

Most of the time I scan read - I get what I need and either re-read or move on!

The comments are interesting, informative and yes, even fascinating at times.

James Goodrich - I like details - it helps things make sense and I don't mind reading - so keep up the good posts!

I am jumping in to say that I am praying for the Guthrie family. President Trump offering to help is something he does.

His kindness was extended to a farm widow in a small town in Georgia. Her husband was losing his land and farm and in desperation, took his own life. Trump heard of this situation and gave generously to pay off the debts so that the widow could keep her home. This was back in the 80’s or early 90’s. May God allow Mrs. Guthrie to be found safe and sound.

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

I was unaware of the Guthrie situation until just now. This is who Trump is, a truly generous man whose heart is in the right place, sending aid to those who have persecuted him. He is using the power that he has in many good ways.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

re: President Trump has a long, quiet history of helping people in crisis— even people who hate him.

You are right Dave, he is absolutely a truly generous man. All of the hatred levied at him is concocted bullshit, because the "elitist" left, and their uniparty of dems and rinos, and their deep state, do not want to lose the power and wealth they have been stealing from the American people for decades.

Deb's avatar

I too, pray that Ms. Guthrie's mother is found safe-and- sounds. It appears that all the Trump bashing only quiets when something horrific happens to one of own that they become descent human beings! Very sad!

Oh goodness, I guess you don’t turn on the tv! I understand may people avoid the tv and news. It is the only thing “they” want us to be thinking about. Sean Hannity used his entire hour long show for only The Guthrie missing grandma story. It is the most covered story on every news channel. They want us to get chatting about who did it? Was it the brother in law? They are distracting us from real news but using so much air time on this. Why Sean Hannity even keeps tweeting about it on x. Any other grandma doesn’t get this much air time.

Not judging that, just making an observation before explaining that it’s the lead story and major news to those that have no idea.

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

Yes, I do not watch TV, I dumped cable over ten years ago, and only own a weather radio. I do keep up with current events of course, but I get news from Substacks and certain podcasts I watch. This week has been a very busy week for me with errands and personal care taking precedence. I do not feel the need to be constantly bombarded with "news". But I am aware of who Guthrie is and her TDS.

Frank Canzolino's avatar

Watch me get lit up for this, but thousands of people are kidnapped and killed in this country every day. Just because it’s Guthrie is meaningless. This should be a local, not national story…

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

This is a national story because of whose Mother it is. That does not detract from the seriousness of all other kidnappings, many of which are children. My question is - who did this and why?

Frank Canzolino's avatar

Two standards: one for the elite, and one for some family on the Southside of Chicago whose kid was kidnapped and raped…

Dr Linda's avatar

Well said. I couldn’t quite formulate my response as well as yours.

Not enough coffee yet

Aegeandreams's avatar

In the scale of world events, SG is a nothing.

David A's avatar

About .3 (less than 1) people are kidnapped daily in the US. The majority are not killed, and this excludes missing children reports and custodial disputes. The US averages 40 to 50 murders per day, dropping rapidly under Trump. The incident in the article is news due to celebrity involvement. As it is national news, a response by the President is appropriate as it discourages future crimes and helps heal the hate our nation is enduring.

Julie Ann B's avatar

Maybe, just possibly, this will humble SG so she will get off her high horse and realize that tragedy can strike anywhere, and that her sharp criticism of our president, who is truly a good and kind man, was completely unwarranted. Another question, why was an 84 yr old widow with health problems living alone? I have a hard time believing this will have a positive ending but I pray it will be so. And, regarding President Trump’s kindness and compassionate heart, he does things like this on a regular basis, not just for “celebrities” but for the common man too. Those who nobody knows but need help.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

So should she have been dumped in a nursing home instead?

Really got to argue with you on this point.

Plenty of folks in their 80s live alone.

They are not disposable.

Pat Wetzel's avatar

I just interviewed a remarkable woman for my podcast yesterday. She is in her 80's or perhaps early 90's (I can't recall), sharp (obviously sharper than me!),wise and fun! As I age, (I'm 68) I hate seeing older people shunted aside, as if they are peripheral or meaningless in today's world. I would argue that in terms of human experience, compassion and wisdom, they have a lot to teach us. Will we listen ?

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

People who think older folks should not live alone in their 80s must have never visited a nursing home.

Firm believer in home health care. The family had the money to pay for any care that was required.

Pat Wetzel's avatar

Agree. And this "older folk" thing is starting to get to me. Not from you, but society just classifies people as senior, elder, whatever. How about classifications based on life experience or wisdom. I am always shocked (shocked! 😯) when people want/need to superficially categorize things, not to mention people. Bet I can dance around a lot of 50 year olds in terms of life wisdom!

VelvetStitching's avatar

Maybe living with her child? My mum lives with me these past 4 years (she is 86) and yes! It's hard! But good! 😊

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

You are lucky to still have your mom.

Julie Ann B's avatar

No, I wasn’t saying that at all. She had a daughter and a son who lived nearby. I’m wondering why she wasn’t staying with them or why they didn’t have someone staying with her because SG said in the plea to the kidnapper that her mom is not well. My mom is 96 and living independently in a senior complex. The point is that there are people around her all the time and there are people who can be of help if something happens. They watch out for each other.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

A lot of people like to stay in their own home because of the memories.

I believe that staying in a familiar setting, with fond memories of holidays and families, helps to keep a person's mood up.

Beckadee's avatar

Maybe they were relying on her Apple Watch too much. They did say it stopped syncing with her pacemaker on Sunday. I'm slightly bothered by the reporting of "they [daughter and SIL] dropped her off" after dinner. They don't say they walked her to the door and made sure she got in. IMO that should have happened. Did you see where a neighbo said the neighborhood she lived in was so safe, they did not have streetlights? That's weird too. And nothing mentioned about security cameras.

m&m's avatar

Apparently the son-in-law did walk her to the door.

Copernicus's avatar

My 80-something frail and widowed MIL was living alone until she had a stroke and couldn't live alone or with family. She had family who checked in on her and took her out and friends who took her to church.

Far, far better than the nursing home where she is now forced to stay.

VelvetStitching's avatar

Very sad for your MIL! My own MIL chose to move to Assisted Living facility. Without notifying the family - she was moved from Assisted Living side to Nursing home side with 6 months - and heavily medicated.

The family living close by swooped in and removed her to live in their home.

But the meds she had been prescribed really took her downhill fast!

My fiesty 5 foot 95 lb MIL passed less than a year later - a shell of her former self. At least she died with family.

My beef again NH is the medication cycle and the isolation of the inmates...

er, ah, patients, that is!

Copernicus's avatar

Yes! The medication and isolation.

Don't even get me started.

She ended up with two more strokes that left her completely non-verbal - because the idiots there gave her BP meds when her BP was normal ... and then she dropped too low and stroked again.

She has a pacemaker because the damn shots took out her cardiac conduction system, so my guess is that all of her strokes and subsequent recovery have been made worse because her heart couldn't increase heart rate as a compensatory mechanism when the blood flow to brain decreased.

Idiot doctors don't realize that mildly high BP in an old person is actually protective and helps get blood perfusion to organs and is not going to kill her. They aggressively try to lower it.

And then of course are the antidepressants for mood - but never any psychotherapy or chaplaincy. Depression and anxiety would be expected when one's life is upheaved. We need support and relationship, not drugs.

I pray often that God mysteriously and miraculously meets her daily because I don't know what else would make that kind of life bearable.

About .3 (less than 1) people are kidnapped daily in the US. The majority actually kidnapped are not killed, and this excludes missing children reports and custodial disputes. The US averages 40 to 50 murders per day, dropping rapidly under Trump. The incident in the article is news due to celebrity involvement. As it is national news, a response by the President is appropriate as it discourages future crimes and helps heal the hate our nation is enduring. Also Bitcoin is involved here, an added factor to discourage abuse of.

There are a lot of other stories like this. Listened to Judge Roy Brown a decade ago talk about Trump lending money to black entrepreneurs, and if they did what they said and built their business, he did not ask them to repay the loan. Now deceased former best friend with TDS called BS because I could not remember who said this at the time.

Aegeandreams's avatar

He is definitely is taking the high road; I know I would not. I do diligently pray for the safe return of SG's mother too but I got nothing for SG. To think she bashed our Pres every turn and now karma has made a visit. SG should suffer although I do wish her mom was not included and the circumstances were different. I could give a crap about SG. And I guarantee once this is over, SG will go on to be rude and disgraceful to our President again. It is all coming home to roost on all these disgusting fanatic TDS progressives.

Susan Seas's avatar

Well, knowing that woman and her demon possessed TDS, I wonder where Savannah was on Sunday? Maybe this is going to bring to light these celebrities and the odd deaths of their loved ones.

Aegeandreams's avatar

And during the TV news with her and her siblings, her brother gave me huge creeps. Dead eyes and intonation. Just staring and at the end when he said (paraphrasing), "We miss you mom", there was zero emotion and a real poker face. Just got a real bad vibe from him. And none of the siblings look alike at all.

Susan Seas's avatar

Ok I just watched it. Totally agree about the brother …

I find the fact they read the statements off. Paper was very strange! They didn’t say anything that wouldn’t come naturally from concerned children about their mom. I found that very, very odd that they had to read that off the papers.

Susan Seas's avatar

😬 I didn’t see them. I may check it out. Interesting

The Great Resist's avatar

I’ll give them a pass on the vibes right now, because they probably haven’t slept since Sunday. I saw a picture last night of Savannah and her sister and mom that I think was them together on the Today show, and I thought the two sisters looked a lot alike in that picture.

What I thought was weird about that video was that it was mostly an appeal to their mother. Things like (paraphrasing): mom please come home, mom we miss you, come home to us, etc. It was more like what you would say in a situation where someone ran away voluntarily, not what you would say to someone who was presumably being held against her will. And also, they said something like “we’ve heard about a ransom note” - which makes it sound like they haven’t personally received any request for ransom, and that doesn’t seem to make sense.

I sincerely hope it doesn’t turn out to be someone in the family behind it all. Assuming it’s not that, a couple of points brought up by the “experts” they had on the news coverage last night (mostly ex-FBI guys) may be relevant: 1. While the feds are lending assistance, this investigation is still under local jurisdiction, meaning the sheriff is in charge. Sheriffs are elected, so they may or may not be a good law enforcement officer or investigator, and they have to “campaign” to keep getting elected. (The ex-FBI guy was strongly implying that this sheriff was bungling things.)

2. The best hope at this time is that the ransom notes are real, because then whoever is behind it would want to keep the woman alive.

I’ll also confess to a tin-foil-hat moment of thinking what a distraction all this has been from blue-state fraud, riots, and Epstein files. 🤔

SHug's avatar

>>The ex-FBI guy was strongly implying that this sheriff was bungling things.<<

Pima County AZ Sheriff Chris Nanos (VERY blue) - wouldn't surprise me. During elections, he suspended the deputy who was also running and one of her supporting deputies. Apparently he thought she couldn't concentrate on 'deputy duties' if she was running for sheriff, and the other was supporting her - how that also could apply to himself didn't seem to occur to him.

Interesting to note that Savannah Guthrie’s husband Michael Feldman worked for the Clinton’s in the ‘90s. He is a staunch Democrat & could he be feeding & fueling Savannah’s rabid TDS?

Certainly, the massive W/V increase into the stratosphere affected the global weather. Weather is a chaotic (scientific use of the term) system, meaning even minor events can have a far reaching effect. This was not minor, it was a massive increase of a Greenhouse gas, that is far more potent than CO2 (it affects a much larger light spectrum of outgoing LWIF radiation.

That's how I feel about getting the Covid jab. My wife has an autoimmune lung disease. Her doctor was adamant that we get the shots (she gave her newborn twins the shots}. I never got the booster but my wife did. We got Covid anyway. Wife developed chronic fatigue as well as alzheimers after the shots. Damn

SoundTruth LightLoveConnection's avatar

I’m really sorry — that’s a heartbreaking situation for both of you. This may or may not be relevant, but you might consider looking into whether your wife could be dealing with something like CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). It’s a complex biotoxin-related illness that can sometimes show up as chronic fatigue, cognitive changes, or neurological symptoms, particularly in people with underlying immune vulnerability.

The main site is survivingmold.com, though there are other resources that may be easier to navigate. Speaking personally, I have CIRS, and for me it was triggered after a very difficult bout with Covid about four years ago. Sharing only in case it’s helpful. Sending you prayers that you get all the right kind of support you and your wife need to overcome this and may God bless your journey every step of the way.

Not related to dementia, but my husband has averaged 20+ migraines per month for years, no matter how many specialists he consulted or therapies that he tried. He started using creatine powder last week (after reading the article linked above, I thought it might be good to help prevent dementia if it was good for reversing it), and we’re stunned that he hasn’t had a single migraine in well over a week. That doesn’t prove it can help with dementia, but if it can help with migraines when nothing else has, who knows?

Deb's avatar

And the medical establishment should be held accountable for this. Lost somewhere in all this is the moral issue. Who in their right mind would think mutilating a child's body is a good thing? Especially a dr. who has gone through medical training and knows about the physical and mental aspects of children. There is just no way to reconcile that this is somehow ok.

Julie Ann B's avatar

As a healthcare professional with 32 years of acute care practice I agree that the system is completely broken and it’s best to avoid it. Find a naturopathic or holistic doctor who doesn’t turn to big pHARMa for every issue, get off of the all the useless drugs they prescribe, eat real, unprocessed food (if you can find it) and get out and walk every day. Sunshine is good! And ask God to guide you in every aspect of your life.

Quiltlady's avatar

Yes, find a good Naturopath. Exit the allopathic medical system immediately. They have no idea what they are doing. They merely push pills and pick up a paycheck.

Alison Smith's avatar

It's all about the $$$. I'm sure doctors were getting kickbacks from somewhere for all of these surgeries, just like doctors getting kickbacks for pushing vaccines.

Cousin Clem's avatar

No kickback needed for those mutilation surgeries. They made plenty of money just doing the surgeries. It's why hospitals were creating entire divisions dedicated to gender reassignment. There was a flood of money coming in. Drug treatments, surgeries, "counseling", treatments for the complications, more drugs.....it was a gravy train. Insurance paying for a lot of this as medical establishments declare it a real disease.

The Great Resist's avatar

Did you ever see the leaked video out of Vanderbilt from several years ago of some dippy young woman lecturing a room full of doctors on how much money the hospital made on “top surgeries” and even more on “bottom surgeries” and all the years of follow-up visits and procedures that resulted? She was all aglow talking about how much profit they would bring in to the hospital if the docs would really push the trans surgeries. It’s a disgusting video.

Alison Smith's avatar

Yes I did see that. Horrific. It's all about the $$$. I can't tell you how many family members have died (cancer) because of the "cure" that doctors were peddling. The cure killed them.

It may also be a good time to amend health plans, under Obamacare, so as not to cover "transgender" procedures, or treatment beyond the mental health aspects of such care.

Unfortunately, they inflicted maximum damage fast. It will take decades to try to undo this mess. People are already brainwashed. It’s heartbreaking. This news from the medical establishment will be censored and the average person won’t even know it’s not recommended anymore. A decade from now the fog of war might thin out. But for now -covid shots are STILL happening and brainwashed people are still covered in the veil of deception. The truth has already been exposed and the brainwashed still refuse to acknowledge it. Just give them another shot.

My biggest anger is that all this evil is allowed to be perpetrated in the first place with zero accountability. The damage gets done. The physical and emotional damage plays on and on and on. Real people experiencing brutality and no one pays the price for it. Hard to be excited about the wake of mutilated people left to deal with this. And, yes. I know people were free to make their own choices. But they were targeted for brainwashing very successfully.

Johnny, I get the impatience. I also get that many on our side are like kindergartners sitting at the kitchen table, enjoying every morsel our current administration bakes for us. When it takes too long, we get fidgety and start whining. On a rare occasion, one rolls out of the oven and it just doesn’t taste right. By now we should have learned that it’s not the chef‘s fault who wrote the recipe but more often than not it’s the oven isn’t operating properly. He’s working with one whose parts aren’t made anymore, and we’re fortunate to have anything edible come forth from it. And if we’ve been following his method of operation we should have known from day one that the files were being used as leverage until it was time to make the donuts. Right now I am smelling a distinct aroma and someday soon we can expect the brownies of Obama and his merry band of Russia Collision cohorts making their way through the fulcrum. Then there’s still the Traitors of the 2020 Election, having similar ingredients to 2016 and 2022. I’m looking forward to this batch coming through burnt to a crisp.

I took my first business trip to Arizona, flying into Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport, in 2011. I was welcomed by an cheerful but armed “receptionist” at a Circle K and an armed guard in my Hotel’s lobby. When I asked about them, I was told that Phoenix was the kidnapping capital of the US, an average of one a day. It was news to me. I suspect that it is still the context that Arizonans live in today, probably worse.
