Watch: TSA Whistleblowers Expose Somali Cash Smuggling Operations At US Airports

https://modernity.news/2025/12/31/watch-tsa-whistleblowers-expose-somali-cash-smuggling-operations-at-us-airports/

Former TSA agents are sounding the alarm on Somali men routinely flying out with suitcases crammed full of cash, undoubtedly linked to massive taxpayer-funded fraud schemes that could be funneling money to terrorist groups overseas.

?itok=x7DyqD97

A former agent from Minnesota described witnessing “Somali men flying out of Minnesota with suitcases filled with cash” amounting to “$1 billion over 5 years,” including one instance of a suitcase “filled with brand new passports.”

These groups were “always waived through,” with a clear “trail” leading back to implicated parties, the former agent claims.

WHAT

Former TSA agent says she saw Somali men flying out of Minnesota with suitcases filled with cash.

$1 billion over 5 years

They also once had a suitcase filled with brand new passports.

They were always waived through.

Recent reports from independent outlets like Alpha News highlight these claims, where a former TSA agent at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport recalled seeing “suitcases filled with millions of dollars of cash, and the couriers were always Somali men traveling in pairs.”

I just received a message from a TSA agent in Phoenix who tells me a Somali man with a Minnesota DL flies through Pheonix every 7-10 days with a suitcase of around $250k cash. He told agents that families in Minnesota send cash back home to Sudan and Somalia through Dubai and he… https://t.co/UEV8y23LF6

She connected the dots to broader fraud, noting an “obvious connection to billions of dollars of fraud” in the state.

Another whistleblower from Phoenix reported a Somali man with a Minnesota driver’s license flying through every 7-10 days with around “$250k cash” in a suitcase.

He claimed to be a “registered courier” sending family remittances to Sudan and Somalia via Dubai. The agent even offered the passenger’s name for investigation by authorities like the FBI or USDOT.

These revelations tie directly into ongoing exposes of Somali-linked fraud in Minnesota, where citizen journalists have uncovered millions in questionable taxpayer payouts to seemingly inactive daycares and care facilities.

The FBI is treating these cases as the “tip of the iceberg,” networks of shell companies appear designed to siphon funds, with one investigation alone spotting $110 million in dubious payments.

But where does this money ultimately end up? A source told City Journal: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

Al-Shabaab, a Somali-based Islamic terrorist group affiliated with al-Qa’ida, has killed more U.S. citizens than any other affiliate and stands as its wealthiest branch.

This a real quote a source gave City Journal:

“The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

Al-Shabaab is a Somali based islamic t*rrorist group who has kiIIed more U.S. citizens than any other al-Qa’ida affiliate and is also al-Qa’ida’s wealthiest component. https://t.co/kc87S00v43

Citizen journalists nationwide are now replicating these probes, visiting facilities in states like Washington to document empty or non-operational sites receiving hefty government funds.

Yet, instead of gratitude, they’re facing backlash. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has accused these investigators of “harassment” for scrutinizing fraud in fake daycares, claiming Democrats “don’t want us uncovering fraud because they’re the ones committing it and benefiting from it.”

— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/2006206051985584206?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The pushback escalates further with outright cover-up attempts. Washington State Senator Lisa Wellman has pre-filed legislation to conceal information about daycares and their operators from public view, effectively shielding potential fraudsters from scrutiny.

Democrats are now using their positions of power to actively cover up their fraud schemes https://t.co/rRc8dtumhL

This pattern reeks of a system rigged to protect insiders while American taxpayers foot the bill for schemes that undermine national security.

With billions vanishing into thin air—or worse, into terrorist coffers—it’s high time for federal probes to dismantle these networks and restore accountability before more “waived through” suitcases slip away.

Read this book well over a decade ago and the second edition that followed. The 3rd Edition is a must read/listen.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition by John Perkins:

New York Times Bestseller

How do we stop the unrelenting evolution of the economic hit man strategy and China’s takeover?

The riveting third edition of this New York Times bestseller blows the whistle on China’s economic hit man (EHM) strategy, exposes corruption on an international scale, and offers much-needed solutions for curing the degenerative Death Economy.

In this shocking exposé, former EHM John Perkins gives an insider view into the corrupt system that cheats and strong-arms countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and ultimately causes staggering income inequality and ecological devastation.

EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to saddle countries with huge debts and force them to serve US interests. Now, a new EHM wave is infecting the world, and at the peak of the devastation sits China, a newly dominant economic power, with its own insidious version of the US EHM blueprint. Twelve explosive new chapters detail the allure, exploitation, and wreckage of China's EHM strategy in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

If allowed to continue its rampage, the EHM strategy—whether executed by the United States or China—will destroy life as we know it. However, all is not lost. Perkins offers a plan for transforming this system that places profits above all into a Life Economy that restores the earth. He inspires listeners to take actions toward a new era of global cooperation that will end the United States's and China's EHM strategies for good.

Theory: I have this theory of probabilistic influence where i think it might be possible to turn up the temperature on a person algorithmically.

In the old days intelligence agencies had to have direct contact with a would be shooter if they were going to groom someone for an assassination, today I believe it’s possible via algorithms, targeting, online groups etc… to do all of that remotely with no direct engagement.

The new thing isn’t digital grooming. That’s been happening.

It’s more like an algorithmic volume knob where you can increase the probability that something happens to someone.

We already know that modern algorithmic environments can increase baseline risk factors in a population the speculative leap I’m making is something like… you can take someone from >1% risk of assassination to 20% risk of assassination and your hands are never anywhere near the murder weapon so to speak.

I have no proof this theory is real. I have no proof that power has shifted from direct coercion to probability shaping, this is just something I think might be happening.

Supports the idea that Charlie Kirk was killed by a radicalized college kid and also a nation state.

Qerko is a payment app/platform for restaurants (and other establishments) that accepts Bitcoin: you scan a QR code at the table, choose what you want to pay for (and you can split the bill), and pay from your phone, without waiting for the waiter. It also integrates with the establishment's POS terminal, and Qerko states that it operates under a payment institution license from the Czech central bank.

# Qerko and the “Travel Rule” regulation

Qerko is required to comply with new requirements arising from the **Travel Rule** regulation (part of European anti–money laundering legislation in the crypto-assets space). Therefore, **from 30 December 2025**, customers paying with **bitcoin** will be required to provide **personal data**. In certain cases, however, there may also be a more detailed review of the transaction and the need to submit additional documents and supporting evidence. ([Gist][1])

Under the current regulation, there is **no monetary threshold** for an exemption—the requirements apply to **all** transactions. Even when paying for a coffee, additional verification may occur, potentially including scanning an ID card or other documents (especially for transactions over **EUR 1,000** or when there is suspicion). ([Gist][1])

## What exactly is changing?

For bitcoin payments, Qerko uses the **Confirmo** payment gateway and therefore must follow its rules for Travel Rule compliance. Details can be found in Confirmo’s official documentation:

```text

```

([Gist][1])

In short: for **every payment and every refund**, the following details must be provided:

* A **unique user ID** (e.g., email address or identification number)

* **First and last name**

* **Residential address**

* **Date and place of birth**

* **Email** (recommended for communication) ([Gist][1])

However, this basic information may not always be sufficient. Confirmo may request more detailed **KYC** verification at any time (including identity documents or proof of wallet ownership). This check may take place **after** the payment is received, which means the transaction may remain in a “**waiting for verification**” state. ([Gist][1])

## How will the changes appear in Qerko?

Before starting a bitcoin payment, Qerko will display a form where the customer fills in the required details. These details will be stored locally on the device (for future payments on the same phone/tablet), but Qerko will **not store them centrally**—it will only pass them to Confirmo **once**. ([Gist][1])

The same process applies to refunds (returning money). ([Gist][1])

Because it is not clear how often Confirmo will trigger additional verification, Qerko is monitoring the situation closely. If it turns out the process is too complicated or unpredictable, Qerko is prepared to temporarily suspend bitcoin payments. The goal is to minimize negative impact on the user experience—after gathering more data, Qerko plans possible app adjustments. ([Gist][1])

## Why can’t verification be done in advance, outside the payment process?

Confirmo performs verification only within an active payment flow. If it enables verification through another method in the future, Qerko will improve the integration. ([Gist][1])

## What happens if false details are entered?

Entering incorrect or someone else’s details (e.g., the details of your favorite politician) is not recommended. If the transaction moves into the detailed verification phase, there is a risk the payment will be rejected and funds could be lost. The regulation requires truthful data to prevent money laundering. ([Gist][1])

## Why doesn’t Qerko process bitcoin payments itself?

An independent **BTC → CZK** conversion would require a license under **MiCA** (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), which is too demanding for Qerko. The no-conversion option (merchants holding BTC directly) would see minimal use—most restaurants want to receive crowns. In addition, handling bitcoin in-house could complicate Qerko’s relationships with banks and financial partners. ([Gist][1])

## Why don’t card payments require the same personal information?

They do. But the customer’s bank provides the personal data on the customer’s behalf. So while the customer experiences a smooth payment, in the background their personal details are automatically transmitted. ([Gist][1])

## What’s next?

The current solution was implemented as simply as possible due to time pressure, Confirmo’s technical limitations, and uncertainty about future user behavior. Unfortunately, this means some level of inconvenience for customers. Qerko will continuously monitor and evaluate the situation. Based on real-world experience, it plans possible improvements so the process is as non-invasive as possible. The goal remains to keep bitcoin as a payment option, as long as regulation and practice allow it. ([Gist][1])
