Shirley’s Somali Fraud News Story Explodes!

Several days ago we reported on independent journalist Nick Shirley, a 23 year old man who created a viral video exposing the fraud in Minnesota.

“Nick Shirley Exposes MORE Minnesota Somali Fraud!” – The Thinking Conservative

When I wrote that story about Nick Shirley and his expose on the alleged fraud of Somalian Minneapolis child daycare centers taking millions in government aid while servicing zero children, we had no idea how this story would explode for Shirley. It exploded in both good and bad ways for both Nick and the others involved.

Here are just a few examples of what has taken place with receipts to follow:

1. It has been reported that Shirley’s documentary video has now been viewed by people over 165 million times!
2. Shirley has received multiple death threats and other forms of intimidation such as being followed by Somalis.
3. State elected Republicans in Minnesota are calling for Democrat Governor Tim Walz to resign.
4. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reports “people will be in handcuffs” as she recognized Nick Shirley as a journalist.
5. President Trump froze all childcare funds to the State of Minnesota pending an investigation with audit.
6. Governor Tim Walz defended himself and his State by calling out the Trump Administration as “white supremacists” and made an absurd claim he will soon be raiding midnight masses.
7. President Donald Trump calls out Minnesota as well as California, Illinois, and New York as all being rife with corruption that will soon be under investigation at his Mar a Lago New Year’s Eve party.
8. Social media platforms offered up some of the most hilarious satire memes mocking the situation one could ever imagine.
9. Nick Shirley and his interviewee, Dave, showed up in some hilarious merchandise sweatshirts mocking the Somali “Learing Center” and offering a new phone number to call, 1-800-FRAUD.
10. Somebody called a phone number of one of the fake Somali daycare centers of Minnesota and found out it went directly to the office of Governor Tim Walz 651-201-3400!
11. Some people are now calling out the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) as the NGO that aided and abetted the Somalis in this fraud.
12. People are now calling out the mainstream media for their lack of news reporting on the Nick Shirley story and some are capitulating with coverage.
13. Some of those very same Somali daycare centers of Nick Shirley’s video were supposedly broken in to and important documents stolen.

CONCLUSION:

I wrote an article almost a year ago about how I used to be a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) when the Somalis were brought over here with the backing of my church which was based in Minneapolis.

“NGOs of USAID Exposed and Targeted!” – The Thinking Conservative  

What I did not write about in full was the real reason why I walked away from that church around 2008. To be blunt, I hate liars and hypocrites which, to me, indicate insanity. I believe people like that are not safe to be around and can lead to you getting hurt or killed!

So here was, and is, my internal struggle relative to my former ELCA to this day:

In about 1995 the ELCA collected donations from parishioners to bring Somalis to Minneapolis to save them from their war-torn country and to convert them to Christianity. I have admitted I got sucked in by this campaign and donated money to it myself, having been familiar with the 1993 “Black Hawk Down” incident which later led to the 2001 film. When I made my donation, I did NOT know they were Islamic fundamentalists who would most probably NEVER convert to Christianity! Also, I did NOT know Somalia ranked 179th out of 180 countries as being one of the most corrupt countries in the world according to the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).

In 2008 our church blew up over a “Human Sexuality Study” whereby a vote was taken relative to two questions; Should we ordain openly gay clergy and should we allow and recognize same sex unions? Ironically a vote was taken during what many delegates to the Minneapolis convention thought was a “bathroom break” and the measures passed by 66.6% when many were out of the auditorium.

So here is my problem with the last two paragraphs when combined…

My beloved ELCA church was misled to support the immigration of Muslim Somali Islamic fundamentalists by liberals at the top of the ELCA church and then this same very liberal LGBTQ sleeper cell (as I saw it) opened our church to sexual deviancy.

The problem?

The very same Muslim people these deceptive liberals imported to our country would kill them all in a heartbeat over their sexual deviancy (deviating from the norm); given total control with a simple majority and Sharia law implemented.  

So to all of these hypocritical insane liars;

When people tell you they are coming to your country to take it over and either convert you or kill you, history tells you that you would be wise to believe them. “ISLAM SHALL RULE THE WORLD” is much more than an internet meme. It is both a promise and a threat!     

I am very proud of Nick Shirley and his accomplishment. He is being suggested for “TIME Magazine” person of the year. I think he should get it for his expose.

We are being played by people who want to destroy our country and way of life! WAKE UP AMERICA!
