~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

  • Former employees allege Gateway Community Services systematically overbilled MaineCare (Medicaid) for services never provided, with falsified records and forged client signatures.
  • At the same time, Gateway leaders helped create the Community Organizing Alliance (COA) — a group dedicated to voter turnout in migrant communities aligned with Democratic Party goals.
  • Despite prior audit findings that showed nearly $1M worth of erroneous billing by Gateway from 2015-2017, the Mills Administration continued awarding no-bid contracts to Gateway, totaling $3.3M since 2022, in addition to the continued flow of MaineCare money.

‘I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue’ — Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Reincarnation of the Dalai Lama

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

THE DALAI LAMA has said that the 600-year-old Tibetan spiritual institution will continue after his death, and that his office will have the sole responsibility of naming his successor.

The announcement came on Wednesday through a video message at the start of a religious leaders’ meeting in the Indian Himalayan town where he has lived for decades.

“In accordance with all these requests, I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue,” he said, according to an official translation. The Dalai Lama also said he had received multiple appeals over the past 14 years from Tibetans in exile, Buddhists across the Himalayan region, Mongolia, and parts of Russia and China urging him to ensure the continuation of the institution.

“In particular, I have received messages through various channels from Tibetans in Tibet making the same appeal,” he added.

The announcement comes ahead of his 90th birthday on July 6.

The announcement of the institution’s continuation was welcomed by many Tibetans. Jigme Taydeh, a civil servant with the Tibetan government-in-exile, said, “Whilst we rejoice at this confirmation of its continuation, we stringently object to China’s interference and plans to install a puppet Dalai Lama. Neither the Tibetans nor the world would recognise such mischief.”

Eastern Europe is more conservative and more careful about its future because they know through recent experience how awful communism is

Never listen to anyone about communism if they have not lived in a communist state. Most of woke and other recent leftist ideologies are either communist in their unrealistic fantasy goals and/or communist in their methods for seizing power. Their fantasy goals appeal to naive morality as a cover story for their deceptive and violent seizure of power. ABN

Deserted airports reveal the true state of the Chinese economy — Jennifer Zeng

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

In this 11-minute video, multiple Chinese people, including pilots and flight attendants from China’s Joy Air, which has been caught in a suspension storm, share the current situation where airports are deserted, and airline pilots and flight attendants are forced to resign and switch careers or take up delivery jobs to make a living.

This is the true state of the Chinese economy amidst the trade war. The empty airports are shocking to behold. Yet, in such circumstances, the CCP Foreign Ministry still released propaganda videos claiming that China “does not kneel.”

This is the distorted mindset of the CCP, incompatible with the civilized world. In their minds, relationships between countries and between people are only about being forced to kneel or forcing others to kneel. They do not understand normal trade negotiations or that relationships between people and between nations can be based on equal and mutually beneficial cooperation.

Web Of Illegal Marijuana Grows Tied To Chinese Communist Party Front Group

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A group of men charged with running an illegal marijuana farm in rural Maine have extensive ties to a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organ responsible for intelligence gathering and foreign influence operations, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

Two of the men, who pleaded not guilty, are leaders of the Sijiu Association of New York, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit, which works closely with the New York Chinese Consulate and United Front Work Department (UFWD) — one of Beijing’s main influence and intelligence arms. Chinese government records reveal several Sijiu Association officials belong to UFWD branches, and state-run media reports show the nonprofit has also agreed to fund UFWD projects.

Chinese illegal marijuana grows in the Pine Tree State have taken root within former residential dwellings, recycling facilities, cedar mills, elementary schools and other industrial locations, according to investigative reports by the Maine Wire. Police raids have recovered hundreds of pounds of cultivated marijuana and thousands of cannabis plants within a single location, and sometimes have also led to the discovery of methamphetamines or banned neurotoxins used for fumigation.

“We’ve identified and visited more than 150 illegal Chinese marijuana growing operations throughout the state of Maine,” Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of the Maine Wire, told the DCNF. “The neighbors are terrified, and legitimate marijuana businesses are collapsing due to the illegal competition.”
