Officials in Maine have suspended state Medicaid payments to a Somali-run charity after more than a million dollars in possible fraud was discovered in several audits of the charity’s services.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has cancelled MaineCare payments to Gateway Community Services after the audits found that the charity over billed the state for $1,068,598 from March 2021 through December 2022. The cash was supposedly to cover the costs of “interpreting services” to Somali migrants, the Bangor Daily News reported.
This same organization has been under investigation before. Gateway reportedly overbilled for more than $600,000 between 2015 and 2018, and is still under a cloud of suspicion for other violations found during a third state audit completed in 2024.
Posted by Trump. That kind of money is not due to incompetence but planned systemic criminal fraud. A small fraction of $76.5 billion would pay for protective monitoring. ABN
The American left is built on vote fraud, NGO fraud, scams like this one, corruption and payola. They have devastated USA and eagerly cooperated with parasites who share their hatred of Western and USA society. Leftists involved in these schemes are not lazy. They are vicious, nasty and totally corrupt. ABN
“My child underwent surgery for a throat hemangioma at Henan Provincial People’s Hospital. After the surgery, the child became vegetative, and then I discovered the child’s eyeballs were gone—they had been removed. Various departments in the hospital are altering the medical records… For profit, stealing and selling patients’ organs.”
The video details an alleged incident in Henan Province where a 9-year-old girl underwent throat surgery at a local hospital, emerged in a vegetative state, and had her eyeballs removed without consent, with hospital records reportedly altered to cover up suspected organ trafficking for profit.
The 24-second video features the girl’s mother recounting the events, hospital exterior shots, and the child in a bed with bandaged eyes, aligning with broader 2025 reports of a surge in Chinese organ harvesting claims, though this specific case lacks independent verification from major outlets.
__________
As with all things in China, it is impossible to prove these allegations.
This story has been appearing in social media and is believed true by many Chinese commentators.
Grok has this to say about the case: This mother’s narration describes an unverified organ trafficking claim. Officially documented facts of the case involve only medical negligence and record tampering, not organ removal.
It is widely believed in China and around the world that illegal organ harvesting is practiced in China for sale to the wealthy and elite.
In Cambodia, Scam Compounds or Scam Parks have repeatedly been accused of organ harvesting. These compounds appear to be a major reason for the Thai-Cambodia conflict raging today.
The most chilling claims against Cambodian Scam Parks involve ‘baby-farming’, where young women are kidnapped and forced to bear IVF pregnancies, so their babies’ organs can be removed and sold. It is widely believed the CCP is running these compounds. ABN
To communicate, we often must ignore the truth or falsity of a statement, our own or someone else’s.
I believe it is an instinct to do this; that it is part of our instinct to communicate at all. Communication requires cooperation, an agreement to be agreeable enough to get the message through.
We might call ignoring truth or falsity in communication “truth elision” or “psychological elision.” Elision means to omit something. Psychological elision would mean omitting or not mentioning psychological truths.
We do a lot of truth elision to save time. In professional or group settings it is hard to communicate any other way because there is not enough time to be perfectly truthful and most people will not care. They just want to socialize and/or get the job done, not search for truth.
Most communication is like that. Most messages are not even superficially analyzed. Semiotics glide through our minds without any thought to their deep origins or interpretations. Truth and falsity are frequently elided.
Like all instincts, our instinct to cooperate by ignoring the truth or falsity of many statements can be misused to consciously deceive.
Indeed, we frequently deceive even ourselves by accepting our own statements as true when analysis would show they are not. One way we succeed in doing this to ourselves is by simply avoiding the analysis—analysis elision.
This is where a simple instinct starts to go bad. A basic need to cooperate on the signs and symbols of communication gets twisted into tricking people, deceiving them, even deceiving ourselves.
The way to see this most clearly and to stop doing it with at least one other person is FIML practice. One of my main goals for this website is to show how and why communication goes bad and how and why it harms us. At the same time, I present a practical way to fix the problem described—FIML.

I think the above sheds light on false confessions and pretty much all self-abnegating lying on the spectrum trending down from a false confession with legal consequences.
Abusers work these ill-defined and difficult to grasp areas to dominate, entrap, and manipulate others. Narcissists and other “strong” or “clever” dark personality types use our fundamental willingness to cooperate against us.
Gas lighting greatly relies on people’s willingness to ignore truths and accept falsities about themselves. If there is more than one gas lighter at work, victims may even accept blame for things they know with certainty are not true.
As with so much in this world, immoral people put time and energy into fooling those who have not put time or energy into the dark arts.
Mass mind-control preys on our mass susceptibility to believe the story that first comes out; the story that is approved by the ‘authorities’ and mass media; the story that is embraced and recited by our friends and family. Mind-control relies on our need to conform and our fear of being ostracized and criticized for straying from the mass instinct to be the same as others.
Buddhists all know about wise compassion. We also need wise understanding of the world and wise cautiousness about the full scope of human motivations.
Our tendencies to go along with falsity can be seen in every part of life, from small corners of our own lives to the great expanses of entire societies.
I’ve never been a fan of Jones but have been OK with his doing what he does, until this — implying Candace Owens might be having a ‘mental-breakdown, psychosis’.
That is disgraceful, super-dishonest and dangerous to Owens, who is arguably the best journalist in the world today.
I don’t know how much Jones was paid to say this or if he is just a total POS. Either way, he went from sort of OK in my mind to total garbage, a backstabber.
Jones’ talk is classic mind-control preprogramming before someone is suicided, lobotomized, drugged into psychosis or murdered in public like Charlie Kirk.
It is chilling, horrible. No way, Jones doesn’t know what he’s doing
Candace Owens is pioneering crowd-sourced journalism in real-time.
The information she discovers herself and receives from others is provocative, relevant, significant and fascinating.
Following up on my post about the Fort Wachuca secret meeting and Erika Kirk’s possible attendance. New information has surfaced that Rep. Mark Amodei staffer Annemarie Vogedes (Rural Representative in his Reno office) looks UNCANNILY similar to Erika Kirk – potentially explaining the eyewitness “Mitch’s” ID at the Fort Huachuca meeting.
Confirmed: Annemarie is real staff (listed on Amodei’s official site). She’s Nevada-based, former Miss Rodeo Nevada contestant – total local insider who could absolutely travel with a Nevada congressman to an Arizona base.
If Mitch mistook her for Erika due to the striking resemblance… that clears Erika but raises HUGE questions:
Why was Amodei’s “rural rep” at a ultra-secret early-morning meeting with lt. colonels the day before Charlie’s assassination?
Did she go with Amodei (whose alibi is still shaky)?
What was congressional staff doing there?
This isn’t debunking the meeting – it’s making the puzzle DEEPER.
Candace said they’re open to misidentification… but now we need answers from Amodei & Vogedes.
Truth seekers: Is this the innocent explanation… or convenient cover?
The hair color does not match. Vogedes’ hair is red, seen in these and other photos. Link above has more details. It’s possible Mitch IDed Erika incorrectly, but then the question arises why was Amodei’s staffer there that day? That would greatly strengthen that he was present at the secret meeting. ABN
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, 14 Medicaid services currently under audit and deemed “high risk” have cost the state $18 billion since 2018. “I don’t make these generalizations in a hasty way,” he said. “When I say significant amount, I’m talking on the order of half or more. But we’ll see. When I look at the claims data and the providers, I see more red flags than I see legitimate providers.”
Thompson said during a press conference announcing new indictments that entire companies were created not to provide medical services but to pocket federal funds for international travel, luxury vehicles and lavish lifestyles. “The magnitude cannot be overstated,” Thompson said. “What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It’s staggering, industrial-scale fraud.”
Thompson then outlined an industry of “fraud tourism” where some outsiders -specifically two from Philadelphia- even travelled to the state to participate in the financial windfalls. The scheme was “easy money,” he said.
This reveals as much about the corruption of the American authorities who allowed this to go on as it does about the Somalis. Consider also that this case is but a microcosm of what is happening at the national level, where it appears our entire government is owned by scam artists at the top and everybody on the take genuflects to Israel. ABN
They clearly must have pulled this off with help from ‘lawmakers’ in USA. Maine has a very similar problem with per capita ramifications possibly even worse than Minnesota. Only the federal government can fix this. State voting scams and political and financial corruption are so tangled together, there are no state entities left to grapple with the problem. Maybe we can rely on the feds, if only because it will provide a way for them to look good while shifting public attention to the small potatoes of compromised states, away from themselves. ABN
