The corruption on the Pharmaceutical Industry is no different from the Financial Industry. They pay big finds giving regulators gold stars for racking in the money, but nobody goes to jail – that is not profitable because they can’t get billions in fines from individuals. Until people who deliberately make decisions that destroy industries or kill people from drugs they know do not work, the question will remain – can we trust the regulators to actually protect society?
Rep. Ilhan Omar did, in fact, marry her brother. This is not a rumor but a documented fact.
Ahmed Nur Said Elmi came to the US from London in 2002. He was living as an openly gay man and his Islamic family did not support his lifestyle. A journalist at Free Beacon ran Ilhan Omar’s name through the Minnesota Official Marriage System and found two marriage certificates. One was to her public husband, Ahmed Aden, who later changed his name to Ahmed Hirsi. They applied for a marriage license in 2002, but never legalized the marriage. There is a second certificate dated 2009 for Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Despite being a devout Muslim, her marriage certificate was signed by Christian pastor Wilecia Harris.
Omar’s campaign and lawyers insist she is married to Ahmed Ade,n but there is no official court documentation to show that the couple ever wed. They say that he is the biological father of her three children. However, voter registration records do show Hirsi and Omar living at the same address. Omar and Hirsi filed joint tax returns in 2014 and 2015 despite not being legally married. The paperwork shows that, under US law, her legal husband is Ahmed Nur Said Elmi—her biological brother.
“Like a lot of families, she and Hirsi, the father of their three children, have had ups and downs, have weathered some storms, but what matters is that they came out of it together,” [campaign spokesman Ben] Goldfarb said. He declined to offer more details.
Omar’s campaign has deemed any questioning [Donald] Trump-style misogyny, racism, anti-immigration rhetoric and Islamophobic division.”
Omar first came to the US in 1995 under hazy circumstances. Historian Dominic Green closely reviewed her story and memoir to learn more. Green concluded:
“The persistent and credibly sourced claim that Omar committed immigration and education fraud with one Ahmed Said Elmi who, it is also claimed, may be her brother, is simply ignored. She doesn’t even name Elmi, and calls the man that she was married to for [eight] years someone ‘whom I spent little time with that I wouldn’t even make him a footnote in my story if it weren’t for the fact that this event turned into the main headline later on’. In fact, address records show that Omar was living with her first husband (‘Islamically married’) while still married to her second (civil marriage). In 2017, when she filed for divorce from her second husband, she claimed under penalty of perjury not to have been in contact with her first husband since 2011. Dozens of now-deleted social-media posts, photos and a 2016 interview suggest that she may have lied.”
The Minnesota House of Representatives’ own website paints a murky story dated October 7, 2019: “On Friday, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar filed for divorce from her husband, Ahmed Hirsi. In 2017, Rep. Omar filed for divorce from her first husband, Ahmed Elmi. In 2018, Rep. Omar legally married Ahmed Hirsi. Now in 2019, Rep. Omar is filing for divorce from Mr. Hirsi. Representative Steve Drazkowski reacted to the most recent news, saying, “This is the most recent development in an attempt by Rep. Omar to subvert the truth regarding her multiple violations of the law which include perjury and tax fraud.”” Then there are claims that Rep. Omar paid her boyfriend Tim Mynett $250,000 from her public campaign account.
Omar once admitted marriage to Elmi but said he was not her brother. She refuses to provide any documentation to prove otherwise. She claims that she cannot produce a birth certificate for herself or Elmi due to the civil war in Somalia. Elmi was granted citizenship through his marriage to Omar—that much is clear. Her own immigration story may be ingenuine, but the fraud is rampant.
1995 — Came to United States as a refugee, becoming a citizen at some later point;
2002 — Took out a marriage license to marry Ahmed Hirsi (AKA Ahmed Aden), but did not marry him except in a Muslim ceremony; they had two kids;
2008 — Parted from Hirsi; a Muslim divorce, not recorded, took place;
2009 — Married Ahmed Elmi; a marriage certificate exists;
2011 — Parted from Elmi, with a Muslim divorce;
2012 — Reunited with Hirsi and had a third child;
2017 — Formally divorced Elmi (after being elected to the legislature);
2018 — Married (re-married?) Hirsi and was nominated for Congress.
Omar may not have been intimate with her brother but she did marry him to bypass US immigration laws. This is illegal and grounds for revocation of naturalization. Marriage fraud is a federal crime under (8 U.S.C. § 1325(c)) and punishable by five year in prison and/or a $250,000 fine. Omar repeatedly flaunts her allegiance to Somalia, states openly that she represents the interests of a foreign nation, and has manipulated US law to her benefit. She does not represent US interests and has violated US law on numerous accounts. So yes—Omar did technically marry her brother.

(Minnesota state flag)
COMMENT:
Marty,
After reading the stories you’ve shared about people not being able to almost anything of value onto planes without a real risk of confiscation, the Alpha News video where a TSA agent claims to have observed multiple suitcases of cash muled out of the country by Somali men makes zero sense. At a minimum implies that the government or at least two government agencies (TSA plus whomever directed their actions) were involved in the Somali cash trafficking…
On a related side note I can’t help, but to look at the new Minnesota flag (redesigned under Walz’s direction) & believe that the DFL (Democrat Farmer Labor – Dem party of Minnesota) was fully in on the fraud since the new flag looks like what someone would have made if they were trying to copy the Somali flag, but try to pretend they were copying it. Wiki links below.
Anyhow, keep up the good work.
JJ from the People’s Republic of Minnesotastan
(Somalia’s flag)
REPLY:Social programs are a big government scam that forces people to become dependent on the state. Mass migration and open borders is a government scam that multiplies the welfare system, guarantees blue votes, promotes repopulation, props up the image of the dollar, and supplies the nation with future soldiers. The motive behind Minnesota’s goal of becoming the largest welfare state in the nation is GREED and politics.
Tim Walz built his entire career on identity politics that exist for the sole purpose of dividing the people. The wealth of a nation is dependent upon the success of its people, and the people are far more successful as a collaborative. Socialist ideals and Marxism condemns this notion because it leaves no room for an overlord state, or worse, the people could begin to see that their neighbor is not the problem.
The Somali scams in Minnesota continued for years thanks to identity politics. Investigations were halted due to racism accusations. Feeding Our Future sued the Minnesota Department of Education for racism in 2020. The “non-profit” claimed the state was preventing “minority-owned businesses” from receiving approval for their fraudulent organizations.
Minnesota changed its state flag in May 2024. Why? The former flag was seen as racist and offensive since it depicted a white settler working the field as a Native American rode away horseback. The state updated the flag to display the new settlers—Somalians.
Somalians began settling in Minnesota back in the 1990s during the nation’s civil war. The FBI knew without a doubt that terrorist organizations from Africa like Al-Shabaab were recruiting men from Minnesota and sending their own men to relocate in the states. Lawmakers turned a blind eye. The state now hosts around 80,000 Somali migrants, which is more than any other state in the nation.
Rep. Ilmar Omar is a prime example of how a displaced population can reshape politics. The Somali native was elected by the people, her people, who she vocally prioritizes over native-born Americans.
Nearly everyone involved in the scam was Somalian, but Omar said that any link to her community would be “a failure by the FBI.” True, the FBI should have expelled people who have loyalty to foreign terrorist organizations long ago because now they are sending millions of taxpayer funds back home to support groups that hate America. That’s the astonishing thought pattern of these tribal populations who hate American values and culture, yet enjoy the liberties and freedom granted under the US Constitution.
Identity politics enabled foreigners to defraud American taxpayers. It led to the uprising of elected representatives who do not represent the people. Politicians are not only involved but also responsible.

There is no official public declaration by European Union (or its member states collectively) that commits to such a move. They are discussing this now behind closed doors. Trump needs to consider IMMEDIATELY entering an Executive Order that all EU member state debts MUST be liquidated INSTANTLY!!!!! Any hedge fund that holds EU sovereign debt should be subject to sanctions forthwith. Trump should issue an Executive Order barring any US investment in Ukraine whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!With the EU seeking to fund war, they will need to sell debt.
The EU and Ukraine are considering to threaten the United States that if Trump strikes a deal with Putin, they will dump $2.34 trillion in US debt in an effort to create an economic war with the United States to crash the bond market. NO American investment bank should now be allowed to sell ANY Sovereign Debt of any EU Member State. The US should EXIT NATO ASAP!!!!!
If the EU tries to pull this off, Trump MUST cut off all intelligence and money to Ukraine and the EU. Neither wants peace. Let them seal their own fate which will be their destruction. The EU will not survive beyond 2030. It is time for the EU member states to separate from this insanity or watch their youth be sent off to the slaughter. For what? Ukraine?
Any Investment Bank or Hedge Fund supporting the EU or Ukraine can be sanctioned under these conditions and criminally charged as trading with the enemy! We had a Double Directional Change here in December 2025. Beware, the EU is absolutely desperate. They are going to use the Russian assets of which up to 80% is private Russian citizens – not state assets. We must ask, how many EU leaders also have their hand in the free money pouring into Ukraine with no accountability.

Bill Kristol not just as an individual but as a representative figure of the neoconservative network via his father, Irving Kristol. I know Bill, and we have been to dinner many times. He spoke at one of our conferences back in the 1990s, and he was not so neoconservative back then. He attempted to steal the election away from Trump by forcing it into the House to uphold the establishment. Most recently, Kristol made headlines for “endorsing” communist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
“He’s not going to destroy it, I don’t think. He’s gonna set up five silly government-run grocery stores, I guess. I don’t think he even will do that [inaudible]. And so they’ll be fine. So there’ll be some grocery store somewhere and it won’t be as good as the privately run ones, and it will go out of business in three years and it’ll be a little bit of a waste of taxpayer money, you know? Or it’ll be harmless, you know? And so people—I do think the right’s reaction to Mamdani has been a little hysterical. He’s a very impressive politician. I don’t know that he’s going to be a very good mayor. He’s 33 years old, he’s never run anything. They’re good people who could work for him though, in New York.”
Kristol is downplaying Mamdani’s destructive power he will unleash on the city of New York. The consequences will span further than a few failed grocery stores. Capital is fleeing the once great city of New York. Zohran Mamdani will be the death of New York City and the beginning of the end of democracy in America. If someone with his policies were to run even a decade ago, the world would have laughed him off. The extremist views on the left have pushed the blind masses to vote for the most extreme candidate, even if they dislike or fail to understand their views.
Socialists feed on increased taxation to support the welfare state, which comprises their voter base. They need people who are utterly dependent on big government to gain and maintain control. Equality to a Socialist means that everyone is equal in poverty. Not only does he want to raise property taxes, but he stated that “wealthier and predominantly white neighborhoods” in New York City should disproportionately shoulder the majority of the tax burden.
Why would anyone want to conduct business in an environment that opposes capitalism? Why would anyone not living on the welfare state chose to live in a system where they are punished for productivity? Capital shifts alter society. Wall Street is fleeing to Miami. Government overreach, tax burden redistribution, welfare expansion, and collapse of civic order all lead to capital flight. The fact that someone like Mamdani could even be considered as a potential candidate is enough to cause capital to flee.
Confidence collapses when the money run dry. It is fascinating how the 309.6-year cycle, marked by the time when NYC was on the brink of bankruptcy in 1975, aligns precisely with the year NYC was founded in 1665. New York City will turn down sharply in 2026—51.6 years from the 1975 crisis. Blue states are at risk of big government socialism. Ponzi schemes always seem great in the beginning.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, you have said many times that we are in a phase in which this time it will be the fall of republics, whereas the last time it was monarchy. Could you comment on this? It seems that the Democrats in this shutdown want billions for their illegal aliens while they hurt American citizens. Is this the type of polarization who have been warned about, which brings the house of cards crashing down?
PT
ANSWER: Historically, the intense division between fundamental political factions is not just a symptom of a republic in trouble, but the very disease that always kills it. The fall occurs when the conflict shifts from “how should we govern?” to “who are we as a people?” and is fought with tools outside the established republican framework.
Intense polarization is the warning sign. Political disagreement shifts from policy-based to identity-based. It’s no longer “I disagree with your plan for the economy” but “You and your kind are a threat to the nation itself.” The political opponent becomes an enemy. We are witnessing polarization within republics in the US, Canada, and Europe, to name just a few.
The Democrats see Trump as the “enemy” and constantly claim this is a crisis in democracy because it is not their way alone. We have crossed the Rubicon, and there is now no going back. This shutdown is the confirmation of the decline and fall of the United States, as well as all the rest. I warned at the last WEC in 2024 that the Democratic Party would split, and it is in its collapsing phase.
The Optimates faction of Senators who crowned themselves with the title boni (“the good men”), like a judge who demands to be “honorable” without earning that title, was led by Cato, who was a ruthless power-monger. They were deeply corrupt in their abuse of political norms. They used procedural obstructions, filibusters, and religious technicalities (omens) to block legislation and appointments they disliked, making the normal political process unworkable for anyone outside their clique.
When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC, the people cheered, and the cities opened their gates. He did NOT fight his way to Rome. The Senate fled because they had no popular support, any more than our Congress does today. History repeats because human nature never changes.

QUESTION: Marty, is there any chance you can buy this hoard to sell for Christmas?
P
ANSWER: I will have some coins for Christmas, but it is unlikely that this gold hoard of 141 coins will ever reach the market. These were found in Luxembourg. They have very draconian laws. All archaeological discoveries, including Roman coins, are considered part of Luxembourg’s national cultural heritage and are the property of the state. You are legally obligated to report the find to the authorities. It does not matter if they have one coin and you have 1,000 more of the same coin. They keep them all and put them in a box, just like in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.. Because of the arrogance of academics who insist that everything belongs to them, I would never donate 10 cents to them. I have one friend who said he would leave his ex-wife to them.
In Britain, if you find a hoard of Roman coins, you must first report them. The Coroner will hold an inquest to determine if the find legally qualifies as Treasure. If it is declared Treasure, the Treasure Valuation Committee (a panel of independent experts) will determine its full market value.
Local and national museums are given the opportunity to acquire the Treasure by paying the valuation sum. The reward is split equally between the finder and the landowner, unless a prior agreement states otherwise (e.g., a 50/50 split is standard). You must have permission to be on the land to be eligible for a reward.
In the United States, the government is always greedy. If you find a shipwreck, the government instantly claims the title of these wrecks to the state in whose waters the wreck is located. You cannot claim “finders keepers.”
It all depends on where coins have been discovered. Britain is the best of all. What these governments do not understand is that they are so damn greedy that, since you get nothing and they DO NOT cover your expenses, there is no point in searching for anything.
I was asked back in the 1990s if I would fund the excavation of the library in the Villa of the Papyri of Herculaneum, the most luxurious Roman villa, filled with art and a library beyond compare, containing all the lost works yet to be excavated. So far, more than 1,800 papyrus scrolls have been discovered in the 18th century. They had been carbonized when the villa was engulfed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Obviously, you cannot retain anything. The primary issue is that it is located 100 feet underground, and a town has been built on most of the Villa. That is easy to see with this picture I took. The government lacks the necessary funds to complete the job, which is part of the problem. They claim ownership and block anyone from recovering anything. So much of the Villa remains untouched. The original 18th-century excavation, which employed tunnel mining techniques, uncovered a vast portion of the villa, including part of the renowned library that housed the papyrus scrolls. However, this early excavation was haphazard and incomplete. Thus, state funds are directed at politicians to retain power.
You can see the depth of Herculaneum and the problem that there is a town over the site itself. The owner of the Villa of the Papyri was a relative of Julius Caesar. The leading candidate for the owner of the villa is Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus (c. 100– 43BC). He was a powerful Roman senator and consul. Piso’s daughter, Calpurnia, was married in 59BC to Julius Caesar. She was his last wife and famously tried to warn him not to go to the Senate on the Ides of March.
Piso was a respected and influential senator from a noble plebeian family. By marrying his daughter Calpurnia, Caesar gained a crucial ally within the conservative senatorial establishment (the optimates) who could help smooth the passage of his legislation and defend his interests while he was away on his campaigns in Gaul. As a direct result of this alliance, Piso was elected Consul for the year 58 BC, the year after Caesar’s consulship. He used his position to protect Caesar’s political arrangements from his enemies in the Senate. Piso prevented his daughter from being forced to marry Mark Antony. Piso, as the father-in-law, played the most direct and important role in Julius Caesar’s political career.
The Getty Museum in California is a copy of the architectural plans of the Villa that were discovered.
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel was the first person to admit that the Minsk Agreement was a ploy to buy time to help Ukraine build its military. The Western powers never intended to honor the Minsk Agreement or any of their peace deals with Russia. Yet, Angela Merkel believes there is a bigger culprit behind Russian aggression—COVID-19.
“We couldn’t meet anymore” because Putin was “afraid of the coronavirus pandemic.” Merkel’s theory: “If you can’t meet, if you can’t discuss your differences face to face, you won’t find new compromises.” In a recent interview, Merkel plainly states, “Corona is the main reason” why Russia attacked Ukraine.
Merkel also stated in a separate interview that she has been a political “scapegoat” for escalating Russian aggression. People blame Merkel, unfairly, I will add, for continuing to purchase Russian oil at that time. She has been attacked for failing to boost Germany’s defense during her tenure. The public believes that Germany used the Minsk Agreement to appease Putin, but Merkel herself admitted the deal was to boost Ukraine.
Not only is she blaming COVID, but Merkel is blaming Poland and the Baltic States for preventing the European Union from establishing direct contact with Russia. She mentions that these EU nations were also keen on importing Russian energy, because politicians were unwilling to sabotage the energy sector before Brussels had complete control over the EU bloc.
“In my opinion, it was necessary to try to resolve conflicts with Russia peacefully. At the same time, we also strengthened the principle of deterrence… At the 2014 NATO summit in Wales, a goal was set for all countries to spend two percent of their gross domestic product on defense. I recognize that the energy with which this was advanced was limited,” the former chancellor said.
This war began in 2014, long before the pandemic. Putin invaded as a direct response to the Minsk Agreement hoax, and in reality, Merkel knows the truth. “But I don’t believe that when he came to power in 2000, he was already planning to attack Ukraine one day. Rather, it is a development in which we in the West must also ask ourselves whether we have always done everything right,” the former chancellor noted in a separate interview. True. Putin did not enter politics with the intent of restoring the Soviet Union. The entire reason Yeltsin handed Putin the reins of power was to prevent Russia from being overtaken by the hardliner oligarchs who DO want to see a USSR revival.
Merkel has gone off the rails in her interviews since leaving office. Her frankness is refreshing for those of us who understand the long con game these neocons have been playing–Merkel cannot bite her tongue to conceal the Plot to Seize Russia.
