Swedish legacy media in shock silence over Somaligate – what is the real price tag of multiculturalism?
If you only consume Swedish mainstream media, there is a high risk that you have completely missed Somaligate, which is already being described as one of the largest welfare fraud scandals in U.S. his
More and more facts are now emerging. About greedy Somali clans, organized financial fraud, and the multicultural dismantling of welfare systems at our expense.
But the silence is absolute, because the fraud is systematically carried out by non-European immigrants. This makes Swedish newsrooms automatically look the other way. The scruffy racism ghost prowls around, making things “controversial” for our poor journalists. It’s not that simple, they stammer nervously. Then they go back to writing column after column about how dangerous it is when Swedish guys work out at the gym.
So when the American Somaligate scandal now explodes on social media, it is absolutely not thanks to any effort from legacy media. These outlets are far too busy screaming “Nazi,” running smear campaigns against anyone who does not praise socialism, and pretending that “right-wing extremism” and “Islamophobia” are the greatest threats to their made-up concept of “liberal democracy.”
Meanwhile, real investigative journalism is being driven by independent actors (in the U.S., Sweden, and the rest of the Western world) who are not afraid to criticize the establishment.
It is the YouTuber and citizen journalist Nick Shirley who is exposing Somaligate in Minnesota. Shirley is an ordinary, young, fearless guy who, armed with nothing but his mobile phone, has done more than the cash-rich TV giants CNN, ABC, and CBS, other established media outlets, and American authorities combined.
In a report that has rapidly reached tens of millions of views on YouTube, Shirley shows how Minnesota’s welfare system has lost control over enormous flows of subsidies. Using public records, on-site visits, and open registries, Shirley demonstrates that daycare centers, facilities for the disabled, and publicly funded centers have received vast sums of money without any corresponding real activity taking place. And that Somalis are behind the fraud. Hence the name. Somaligate. Plain language. No evasions or straw men. Somaligate. Period.
In Shirley’s 42-minute video, empty premises, closed operations, and payouts that are clearly disproportionate to the number of recipients are documented. Shirley claims that his team identified over 110 million dollars in suspicious transactions in a single day.
He asks a question that should be self-evident in any welfare state:
How can costs in the range of tens of billions of dollars arise when the number of benefit recipients is said to be relatively limited? The criticism is directed straight at oversight authorities which, according to him, ignored or explained away warning signals.
The investigation brings to mind the already well-known Feeding Our Future scandal, where federal prosecutors since 2022 have investigated how more than 250 million dollars in pandemic funds intended for children’s meals are suspected to have been looted through false applications and fabricated operations. Shirley argues that this is not an isolated case, but part of a larger and more systemic abuse of welfare programs.
What is most striking about the Minnesota scandals, however, is not only the scale of the suspected fraud, but how Swedish mainstream media consistently chooses to look away. Instead of reporting indictments, convictions, and documented facts, coverage has been reduced to criticism of Trump, tone policing, and alleged discrimination.
Just like in Sweden, the truth and the American reality are considered too dangerous to describe plainly. But when Shirley presents public records, it becomes obvious what Swedish newsrooms are avoiding. Namely, that welfare systems have been systematically exploited. That children who were supposed to receive help did not. That fraudsters enriched themselves. And that taxpayers are left with the bill.
Somaligate in Minnesota sounds disturbingly familiar. Sweden is dealing with similar problems, and these connections should have been highlighted by Swedish media—if they had even a shred of integrity left. We have our own recent “minor” scandal. In fact, it was Expressen that revealed that over one billion Swedish kronor were funneled to schools and preschools linked to an Islamist network, bound together by family ties, business structures, and documented welfare fraud. Funds intended for children disappeared, key figures fled the country with tens of millions in unpaid tax debts, and despite convictions and bankruptcies, central actors—such as the network’s financial adviser Mohammad al-Kotrani—have been able to continue operating.
Sweden and the United States are in the same position. A naïve view of migration policy that allows foreign clans to establish themselves and then exploit the system from within. Our societies are being hollowed out by welfare fraud, while authorities behave irresponsibly and, quite frankly, often stupidly. When fear of confrontation and identity politics are allowed to replace control and common sense, the same groups always lose: children, the disabled, workers, and us taxpayers. And yet nothing of value is allowed to be said out loud. Such as the fact that this is the price of multiculturalism.
It is completely insane. And it is high time someone is held accountable. We do not need more excuses, clichés like “we have been naïve,” or pathetic seminars about tone and white patriarchal structures. What is required is concrete action: stricter controls, personal accountability for officials, immediate clawbacks, and a halt to payments at the slightest irregularity. But above all, we need media coverage that returns to its actual mission—to scrutinize power and money, not protect narratives.
Hello SVT and SR, I’m looking at you. You who are busy preaching about the equal value of all people and, through this cowardly nonsense, shielding anti-democratic forces that want to tear down everything that makes Sweden a good country. When do you intend to take journalistic responsibility for the 10 billion kronor you receive from our money every year? You could start by telling people about America’s Somaligate—and then take a look at what mass-immigration-related welfare fraud is costing our country. Because those 100 million kronor that Islamists have stolen from the Swedish people are probably just the tip of the iceberg.
