"Feeding Our Future" Looting Mastermind Aimee Bock: "I Struggle to See How" Ilhan "Omar" Wouldn't Have Known About the Pillaging of the American Taxpayer

The Party of Looters & Shoters, continued.

I suppose this could just be a convict attempting to get a deal in exchange for her testimony.

But she's not really offering testimony. She doesn't claim that she knows Ilhan Omar was involved in the plot. She's speculating that Ilhan Omar must have known, which is not witness testimony, just speculation and kibbitzing.

And of course: she's right. It beggars belief that Ilhan "Omar" wasn't part of this.

The Minnesota "mastermind" of the state's massive COVID meal fraud claims "Squad" Rep. Ilhan Omar was in on the $250 million scam.
Aimee Bock, founder of nonprofit Feeding Our Future, was convicted in March 2025 of conspiracy, bribery and wire fraud for allegedly helping restaurant owners file fake or inflated claims during the pandemic to steal millions in child nutrition funds from the government.
She spoke to The Post by video call this week from Sherburne County Jail, where she is awaiting sentencing.
"I struggle to believe that she wouldn't have known," Bock said of Omar.
Dozens of members of Minnesota's Somali community have been convicted of fraudulently billing the state's Department of Education for millions of meals they claimed they served to low-income children during the COVID outbreak -- while pocketing much of the money.
Ilhan Omar's name came up six times in $250M fraud case -- after she loosened oversight of fed funded food programs
Bock has consistently denied knowingly participating in the fraud and insisted she tried to warn state officials. Her group would review the reimbursement paperwork sent by the local restaurants supposed to provide meals, send them out and then distribute the federal funds to them.
"The notion that I'm personally responsible for all of it . . . is so frustrating. I'm the only white person out of 80 or 90 individuals [charged in the fraud]. I'm the only one that doesn't speak the language," she added.

This comes close to testimony that could actually be introduced at court: She says that Ilhan "Omar" secured the waivers that allowed the fraud to continue with no oversight, verification, or inspection, and that every time one of those short-term waivers was about to expire -- which would allow inspectors to check up on the fraudster -- "Omar" intervened to protect the fraudsters.

But then, this is all public record.

Omar was instrumental in loosening the laws that set the stage for the scheme -- first by introducing the MEALS Act to Congress in March 2020, which allowed the US Department of Agriculture to issue waivers of school-meal requirements during the pandemic.
The waivers dramatically eased oversight of the federal programs by allowing restaurants to participate without any of the usual site inspections.
Omar would personally step in whenever those waivers ran out, allowing the rampant fraud to continue, Bock alleged.
"There had been a couple times early on that there were some gaps -- a waiver would be set to expire on maybe the 15th of a month, and then the renewal didn't kick in until the 1st," Bock claimed. "Because of course this was supposed to be a short-term thing . . . we were supposed to be home for two weeks."

Omar has been under fire since her wealth mysteriously jumped from almost nothing to up to $30 million in 2024, a windfall she tried to chalk up to an accounting error.

Hello! Happy New Week!

12 Will owed diatribe

What's driving Epstein is that it's an op and being driven.

The story had a ton of potential energy and Trump was maybe gonna get close so they decided to hang the whole thing on him through a series of plants, planned lies and escapades. And *maybe* an AG pulling some otherwise very inexplicable weirdness about it.

And the plan was to use that story to weight down the second term like Russia before it. Trump put a stop to a lot of it by not allowing it to bifurcate his following. But you can't stop talk shows, news, and so-called "comedy" from harping on about whatever they want.

But make no mistake - Bondi's little maneuver was a nice little molotov cocktail to start the whole thing off. Whether purposeful or just through dire naivete we won't know. But I think I know.

I don't think it was for "favors." I think it was purely fraud to launder the money through Somali "owned" businesses and the politicos get a kickback. Sure, the Somalis were taking suitcases of case out of the country, but suitcases of cash were being delivered to the MN state government officials as well.

And, of course, the various national politicos affiliated with the fraud were getting their cash deposits too.

Have you noticed none of the US Commies pushing hard for wealth taxes and sky-high income taxes on millionaires and billionaires, ever say it will be a long-term solution to annual local, state, and Federal deficits, or a terrific way to reduce the Federal debt? Even the Democrat propaganda writers and propagandists must know such claims would not pass even a NYT or WaPo fact check. But those fantasy tax the rich solutions will continue to fire-up the LIVs.

Interesting.

One working theory I have is they have unintentionally brought in a crapload of Christians. Could pose an unforeseen problem for them. Maybe they think enough imported muslims will put the Christians down?

Remember there was a consistent survey in the UK about 10 years back, that the percentage of people who considered themselves Christian who believe in the Resurrection of Christ was: 17%.

That is a country ripe for the plucking. That number was about 80% here and likely rising with South American imports. Christians may be slow to anger but the Left are GRAVELY miscalculating if they really believe followers of Christ are going to lay down and die in deference to their, or anyone else's ideology.

I think both the GOP and Dem parties are in a race to the bottom but the Democrats, due to their DSA activist base, have dropped below the GOP in being disliked. Trump is dragging the GOP toward the general public while the Democrat candidates and online have been going batshit crazy on negativism, violence, and hatred.

Those aren't firing up voters in the middle even though it stokes the activist idiots on the left into a frothing rage. At some point, it is counterproductive politically to stoke up your own base as the expense of the rest of the electorate.

Her very presence in this country was done illegally. This isn't an intricate, complex matter. This is an easily confirmed through public records slam dunk that could be thrown together in a matter of weeks.

The only explanation is that the DNC was so greatly invested in these type monetary frauds that her prosecution would upset the entire apple cart. We've seen other illegal efforts by the DNC to fundraise. Most ended up anecdotal because they were never pursued. Take away USAID, and the DNC is more dependent upon Wellfare fraud to fill the void.

They’ve been catastrophic for decades. Nobody wants what they are selling outside large urban megalopolis. Nobody. Election fraud explains this neatly, or put another way, makes their platform possible.

Politics is the art of the possible. Compromise. Tack to the center. Appeal to the voters.

They stopped doing that 25 years ago. Maybe more. There is an ebb and flow to politics. Nixon and Reagan. Voters get tired of the assholes holding office. They are determined to achieve permanent, one party rule. Fraud is the only mechanism to acquire this, at least on an accelerated timeline. They are Socialists In a Hurry, never forget that.

Reading William Colby's autobiography showed why. The CIA has been running support for the NGO crowd and politically interfering with politics in the West since the Cold War started. Colby himself was one of the agents charged with preventing Italy from going commie and so Uncle Sam's CIA financed leftists there if they were not commies to split the left.

All the modern CIA did after the Wall fell was change aim at the right and spend money to split the right while still giving leftists a stipend.

I think we've been looking at the Somali fraud improperly. We are laying blame on the local politicians, and Somalis of course. I'm beginning to think that it is much, much bigger than that. I think is likely the primary arm of the entire DNC fundraising apparatus. This doesn't just touch the local politicians as an afterthought. This very well could be orchestrated by the highest levels on the DNC financial arm. We're talking billions here. And, you can't convince me that the current make up of the radical left has their own money to donate to the DNC. Yet, they still raise a significant amount of cash...

That was one of the major vectors for jobs so the holders could contribute to dems, programs for fraud to donate to dems, and direct donation to dems. Of course they miss it.

161 146 The Articles of Confederation had provision for amendments too. A lot of people were caught off guard, they went into session ostensibly for that, I guess.

At any rate they threw that out, and came up with a whole new document. It was thought to be a bit of a “bait and switch” at the time.
Posted by: Common Tater at May 18, 2026 02:04 PM (mm0EH)

There must have been more consensus at the time that the flaws in the AofC were too fundamental that bandages weren't going to fix it. Otherwise the Constitution would not have adopted so smoothly. One of the major changes was more strength in the executive and central government.

Shay's Rebellion scared the shit out of the Founders. Likewise the fact that Rhode Island was blocking the required fixes for the Articles. All amendments to it had to be unanimous. Central govt was bankrupt and a real chance for states to go to war against each other over disputed western territories. So, the Articles could not be fixed due to a unanimous requirement, economy was in the crapper, and states were drifting away from each other with threats of internal riots and disorder.

167 I noticed our Founders may not have been Bible-thumpers but they all were believers. One was a Catholic.

This is why we need a new Constitution. One written by us Wiccans, a few lesbians and maybe one or two Mariann Edgar Budde types to fool the people that we believe also.

Heck, she even broke campaign finance law when covering up her brother marriage, because she used campaign funds to pay the lawyer who legally ended the union.

She doesn’t bother because she is protected. Partially by being a DEI bingo (black, woman, immu, Muslim) and I am guessing because she has powerful backers, including CAIR. And Qatar?

175 God is angry with the wicked every day. In Noah's time, eight souls were saved out of probably a million, or two. The rest perished.
In Sodom, a tiny handful were saved, the rest burned up.
In Jericho, only Rahab and those in her house were saved. The rest, wan, woman, and child, were put to the sword.
God loves his own, but it is a relatively rare thing. The largest number in the Bible concerning salvation is 200,000,000. That's out of about 15 billion or so who have ever lived.

USAID was basically the soft power funding arm of the CIA. Interestingly, it was overseen by the State Dept.

There really hasn't been a big distinction between the CIA and State in many years and yea, they operated domestically.

Salazar, in Portugal, was very pro-Allies, but he didn't want to formally join the Allies because he feared that it would cause Franco to formally join the Axis.

179 One working theory I have is they have unintentionally brought in a crapload of Christians. Could pose an unforeseen problem for them. Maybe they think enough imported muslims will put the Christians down?

I think the broad outline of their thinking is that first the Muslims kill off MAGA, then the Muslims politely heel to the elites and/or are mass deported. Then it's paradise, where Barack Obama and Scott Weiner can march down Main Street nude and everyone will proclaim how amazing their junk is or be put to death.

That unexplained second step is a doozy. In Europe Muslims have already shown that once they have enough population they simply cut the leftists/globalists completely off and run as the Sharia Party.
