Hassan Defrauded Autism Program of $14M, Carried Out Feeding Our Future Fraud, Bought Real Estate in Kenya with Taxpayer Money

To run their fraud scheme, Hassan and her partners needed children who had an autism diagnosis and an individual treatment plan. Hassan and her partners approached parents in the Somali community to recruit their children into Smart Therapy. Where a child did not have an autism diagnosis and an individual treatment plan, HASSAN and her partners worked with a QSP to get the recruited child qualified for autism services. There was no child that Smart Therapy was not able to get qualified for autism services

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

One year on from dismantling of USAID, study projects that global aid cuts could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030
“Our analyses show that development assistance is among the most effective global health interventions available. Over the past two decades, it has saved an extraordinary number of lives and strengthened fragile welfare states and healthcare systems,” said the study’s coordinator Davide Rasella, a research professor at ISGlobal and the Brazilian Institute of Collective Health.

“Withdrawing this support now would not only reverse hard-won progress but would translate directly into millions of preventable adult and child deaths in the coming years,” Rasella said in a statement
...
Experts in the field of humanitarian and development aid told CNN that there are limitations to mathematical models of projected death tolls. But the impact of the aid cuts is already being felt, even as it remains unclear how exactly the cuts will play out and how recipient countries will respond.

“What we can say with confidence is these cuts are already killing people. The scale of that is still hard to fully compile, in part because the aid cuts themselves have made it harder to do so,” said Jeremy Konyndyk, president of Refugees International. For example, health clinics that used to compile mortality data in many communities have now closed. “Places are not collecting data. We’re flying blind.”
...
Lee Crawfurd, a senior research fellow at the Center for Global Development think tank, who was not affiliated with the Lancet study, told CNN that death toll projection models can vary and “we should take the precise numbers with caution, but I think the overall conclusion is likely correct – people will die in large numbers.”

The Center for Global Development’s own analysis of the USAID cuts alone found that the decline in current spending may have led to between 500,000 to 1,000,000 lives lost in 2025 compared to previous years. The decline in future spending commitments is projected to lead to 670,000 and 1,600,000 lives lost annually.

Thank you for stopping the charade and admitting that those who call the Republican Party the Party of Life are spreading FAKE NEWS.

The things that made us at least semi-respected and were righteous. But yeah…who gives a fuck about little starving children and preventable diseases. These people should pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Amirite?
