Stories of Corruption and Betrayal

• "Former US Navy sailor learns his fate after stealing secrets about America's war tech for China"--Daily Mail. The article relates that "Jinchao Wei, 25, was convicted of trading technical secrets about the amphibious assault ship USS Essex, as well as information on the location of other Navy vessels, to a Chinese intelligence officer for $12,000," and will now be spending more than 16 years in prison. And get this: "After his arrest in 2023, Assistant US Attorney Fred Sheppard revealed that Wei’s mother encouraged him to betray the US when he went home to Wisconsin for Christmas." I would hope that, at the least, Wei's mother is either imprisoned or expelled from the U.S.

•  "A New Nick Shirley Video Shows Grift That Is 'Ten Times Worse' and Will Cause 'World War III'"--PJ Media. 

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon - maybe even as early as Monday — is "ten times worse" than the "Quality Learing Center" daycare scam. 

     In Shirley's previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years. 

     And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise. 

    Hoch says the new video will show that most of these companies are Somali-owned, and his and Shirley's visit to these companies found zero companies. 

    "What I believe is the core of all this is this non-emergency medical transportation. A search showed that Minnesota recognizes 1,020 NEMT [Non-Emergency Medical Transport] companies. Almost 900 of them are Somali-owned," he told Bessent. Hoch went on, "In the second video, Nick Shirley and I went to 16 of them — I've actually been to about 70 of them." At this point, he held up his papers and leaned forward to Bessent to emphasize, "THEY DON'T EXIST."
