[Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary @Minnesota_DHS]

As employees and stewards of public service spanning many decades, we want to warn the public about Peggy Flanagan. Minnesota cannot afford to get this wrong and elect an official that has a troubled record and contributed greatly to the tragedies affecting Minnesota.

Peggy Flanagan has served as Minnesota's lieutenant governor since January 2019. Under Minnesota law, the lieutenant governor serves alongside the governor and has great influence in policies and protecting the ethics and integrity of public service.

In our view, Peggy Flanagan is an utter, unsalvageable failure with no redeeming qualities. Peggy Flanagan relies on shock tactics rather than educated statements to distract the public from the fact that she has no real agenda, qualifications, or positive policies for Minnesota or the United States. As public employees, we find it shameful that Peggy Flanagan has used her position to behave like an activist rather than a steward of public good.

When evaluating Peggy Flanagan's record, it's important to distinguish between documented findings about state agencies, allegations made by employees or legislators, findings by courts or independent auditors, and evidence linking a particular elected official to specific decisions. We will highlight a couple items...

Claim: Minnesota allowed fraud to grow in state-funded programs under Peggy Flanagan's tenure

Evidence supporting the claim:
This claim has substantial factual support. Federal investigations have uncovered large fraud schemes involving several Minnesota-administered programs, including:
- Feeding Our Future
- Medicaid-related programs
- Child care assistance
- Housing stabilization
- Numerous Behavioral health services

Numerous criminal prosecutions have resulted.

Independent reviews and audits have identified weaknesses including:
-Insufficient oversight,
- Weak internal controls,
- Delayed responses to warning signs,
- Inadequate documentation,
- Grant-management deficiencies.

Minnesota only enacted bipartisan anti-fraud legislation and expanded oversight after many of these issues became public. Many fraudulent schemes deliberately concealed their activities, agencies referred numerous cases to law enforcement, additional, mainly perfunctory anti-fraud systems have since been implemented, criminal investigations.

Frankly, the Walz–Flanagan administration did not do enough to prevent major fraud schemes in programs administered by Minnesota. Multiple large fraud cases have resulted in federal prosecutions, and independent reviews have identified weaknesses in oversight and internal controls.

Claim: Whistleblowers experienced retaliation

Evidence supporting the claim:
Current and former DHS employees have publicly testified that they experienced retaliation after reporting concerns about fraud or contracting practices.

Examples include testimony before congressional and Senate committees describing:
- Reassignment of duties,
- Dismissal of concerns,
- Workplace investigations,
- Retaliation by supervisors.

These accounts have been reported by multiple news organizations.

Claim: Peggy Flanagan personally retaliated against whistleblowers

Evidence supporting the claim:
A large number of legislators and political critics have asserted that Flanagan participated in meetings with whistleblowers or supported agency leadership's response to employee complaints. These assertions have appeared in congressional hearings, interviews, and political commentary.

In particular, at an April 12, 2024 public health equity meeting hosted by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, Peggy Flanagan came onto the stage to publicly denounce whistleblowers as being "losers in mother's basements." This is not only retaliation but also a tactic of dismissal of legitimate concerns and intimidation of staff.

Claim: The Walz administration mismanaged DHS

Evidence supporting the claim:
- Independent audits have criticized aspects of DHS administration, including:
- Inadequate grant oversight,
- Weak documentation,
- Internal control deficiencies,
- Failures to follow required procedures.

Recent audit findings also raised concerns about document handling during an audit, prompting legislative scrutiny.

Claim: Health and Human Services programs were harmed

Evidence supporting the claim:
It is noted that fraud diverted taxpayer dollars from intended beneficiaries and that weak oversight undermined confidence in public programs. High-profile fraud cases have led to program changes, audits, and increased compliance requirements.

The available evidence supports several conclusions:
There is strong evidence that Minnesota experienced significant fraud in multiple state-administered programs and that independent audits identified oversight weaknesses. The net effect is that taxpayer dollars are lost to fraud and the vulnerable members of our community are not getting the services they need.

Peggy Flanagan markets herself based on Progressive policy positions and has supported positions such as Medicare for All and major immigration reforms, including replacing ICE. However, she has presented exactly no solutions to our current problems where our current health and human services systems are fractured by fraud and there is minimal discussion on how all of her ideas will be funded.

Elected officials should bear political responsibility for problems that occur during their administration, even if they were not directly responsible for operational decisions. Peggy Flanagan has taken no responsibility for fraud and instead, has deflected to national politics to distract Minnesotans from the problems that occurred under her.

To sum this up, does Peggy Flanagan have the competence to run for Senate? We don't think so. Has Peggy Flanagan done anything to address fraud? Not that we are aware of. Has Peggy Flanagan accepted any accountability for failings that occurred under her tenure? Nope. Does Peggy Flanagan deserve to advance her political career? Not unless we want to drive Minnesota into an abyss.

Do we feel safe with Peggy Flanagan in such an influential seat? Absolutely not.

We need leadership. Not a failed activist - and certainly not an empty trash bin of leadership that Peggy Flanagan represents.

Remember Janet Ossebaard? The fearless Dutch researcher who dove headfirst into the deepest rabbit hole and dragged the global elite’s darkest secrets into the light.

In 2020 she dropped the bombshell documentary series “The Fall of the Cabal”, a relentless exposé that later expanded into over 30 parts. Janet didn’t hold back. She exposed the full spectrum of hidden control: central banks, shadow governments, media manipulation, and satanic networks at the highest levels.

But the part that hit like thunder? PIZZAGATE. In the explosive “Children, Art & Pizza” section, she laid bare what she called a worldwide child trafficking and ritual abuse machine. Coded symbols, elite “pizza parties,” disturbing “art,” underground networks, and patterns linking politicians, Hollywood, royalty, and billionaires to horrific crimes, including adrenochrome and satanic rituals. She backed it with documents and survivor testimonies that woke millions up to the nightmare.

Her calm narration made the unthinkable impossible to ignore. The series exploded across Bitchute and Rumble, fueling the Great Awakening like few others.

Then the tragedy. In late 2023, after publicly stating she would NEVER commit suicide, Janet was found dead in Sweden. Official ruling, overdose.

Janet risked everything to expose the monsters and fight for the children. Her work lives on.

[Wiki Leaks 1.0 @WikiLeaksQ]

The ROTHSCHILDS have just begun to lose control of the weather.

For 47 years, they have controlled the skies through a network of 22 weather modification stations that could direct hurricanes, droughts, floods, and earthquakes, on demand, to any place on Earth.
The program was called "THRONE CLIMATE" and was funded by a labyrinth of NGOs, carbon credit systems, and "green energy" foundations, all connected to the same family office in Geneva that has controlled European banks since 1815. A few days ago, the last station was disconnected, seized in a military operation involving 6 nations that have never publicly acknowledged working together. The weather is no longer a weapon. For the first time since 1979, the skies belong to no one. Every "natural disaster" of the last 47 years had a signature, a digital fingerprint embedded in the ionosphere that preceded it. HAARP researchers have detected it for decades. They were ridiculed, but they were right about everything: Hurricane Katrina: frequency trace detected 72 hours before impact; The 2010 Haiti earthquake has the same frequency signature, originating from a station in Venezuela; The 2011 earthquake, signature attributed to a flagless ship operating in the Pacific. The ship's registration, obtained via "QFS maritime tracking," belongs to a company conveniently located in the Cayman Islands. The company's sole director: a family trust of the Rothschild family.
They didn't predict disasters, they ordered them. Why control the weather? Because the weather controls everything. Food prices, insurance markets, government stability, migration systems, election outcomes. They didn't need an army. They didn't need murders. They needed rain or drought in the right place at the right time. $4.2 trillion in "natural disaster" damages since 1979. Betting on the destruction they created. Harvesting the suffering they caused. For the first time in half a century, the rain will fall where it should fall.

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

Was Martha Stewart the last “insider trading” charge before the soldier!?

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late.

The right stack is always taller.

On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN.

I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS.

The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881.

He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts."

I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes.

The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200.

I waived it.

I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness.

Let me show you what I processed this year.

January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%.

February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed.

March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file.

I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again.

In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not.

I want to tell you about the soldier again.

He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in.

In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on:

Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee.
Defense appropriations they voted on.
Trade policy they negotiated.
Pandemic response measures they drafted.
Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public.

None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012.

Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases.

My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that.

The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop.

She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed.

I want to tell you about the fine.

$200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk.

Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself.

On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office.

The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year.

The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.

The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million.

The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write.

He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million.

The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.

In my field, we call this self-regulation.

The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate.

Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return.

I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process.

As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.

My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.
