Jonathan Choe was PUSHED HARD to sign and forge signatures on ballot petitions in LA.
“To see these ballot petitioners gathering signatures while targeting some of the most vulnerable people on the streets… that’s probably one of the most sinister things I’ve seen.”
He and James O'Keefe explain his experience on Skid Row, describing interactions with petition fraudsters who appeared to “expect” people to sign and even forge others’ signatures.
Jonathan Choe also shares from his investigation many California residents are heartbroken and want an end to this.

We Caught a Taxpayer-Funded NGO Busing Non-Citizens to the No Kings Protest
The NGO Make the Road New York has received millions of dollars from the federal government.
Our undercover investigation reveals that Make the Road New York was responsible for mobilizing and busing non-citizens into Manhattan to join the recent No Kings protest.
We are calling for an immediate investigation into how Make the Road New York is spending taxpayer money.

From Capitol Hill: OMG correspondent Michael Casey is on the ground in Washington, D.C., showing members of Congress and Senators videos of alleged election fraud captured on hidden cameras in California. The footage shows petitioners bribing homeless individuals with cash, cigarettes, and drugs for signatures on ballot petitions. A felony captured on tape.

Nancy Mace joined James O'Keefe on On The Inside: “I applaud your work… The justice system is corrupt.”
The OMG team captured footage of alleged petition fraudsters logging into an online database to pull real voters’ names, then giving them to homeless individuals to forge signatures and impersonate voters.
Nancy argued the system is backwards. The ones doing the work exposing crimes are the ones being sued....

BREAKING: California Controller’s Top Communications Official Admits Audits “Are Not Getting Done” & Acknowledges “100 Percent” Fraud Exists in the State
“We [CA Controller’s Office] just can’t conduct the audits”
“There is no statewide plan on homelessness”
“They [CA counties, cities] are asking for $1 billion this year”
Bismarck Obando is the Acting Deputy Controller of Public Affairs and Press Secretary for CA State Controller Malia Cohen , the state’s chief fiscal officer responsible for accounting for and protecting California’s financial resources. Bismarck Obando admitted on hidden camera that the Controller’s Office “can’t conduct” key financial audits.
Due to staffing cuts, the audits “are just not getting done,” and he claims there is “no statewide plan” on homelessness, and CA counties/cities are asking for $1 billion this year for homelessness.
In honor of Nick Shirley, James O’Keefe visited California homeless shelters/non-profits in South Los Angeles: Abundant Blessing & Urban Alchemy. Both non-profits were accused of fraud. We went on the ground to visit these groups and discovered there were actually zero homeless people there.
Abundant Blessings Incorporated, a homeless shelter that claims its mission is to end homelessness by providing short- and long-term housing, received funding of $23 million. The executive director, Alexander Soofer, was arrested on charges of fraudulently obtaining the $23 million in public funds.
Urban Alchemy, another non-profit that claims to provide hygiene services and operate “safe sleep villages,” received over $60 million in government contracts, including more than $12 million through LAHSA since 2021.
Homeless individuals shared with our undercover journalists that they have gone to the shelters for blankets, socks, and toothpaste, but they are always out of items. These shelters receive millions of dollars a year, and nobody knows where the money is going.
Our team reached out personally to Bismarck Obando and the office of Malia Cohen for comment, but we received no response.

CA State Controller Top Spokesperson SPILLS that the Controller’s office is not performing audits of the money flowing throughout California. This report comes after recent fraud raids from the FBI & DOJ in CA.

John discussed how the Press Secretary for California’s State Controller’s office, Bismarck Obando admitted that California doesn’t have a plan for homelessness & admitted that there isn’t much the state can do about all of the fraud because there’s no way to track the money!
Explain this to me like I’m a small child.
Engaging in fraud pays out billions
Being a lobbyist for fraud in DC pays out millions.
Exposing fraud gets you notoriety but pays out nothing, invites lawsuits and death threats…
Given this, can the system truly ever change?

@SavanahHernandez was just brutally punched and beaten by mobsters in Minneapolis.
Glad to hear Savanah is safe. She is one of America’s toughest journalists.

What I’ve learned is they try to control you.
If they can’t control you, they try to destroy you.
Choose your path, young journalists

I don’t know why people find this so complicated.
There is money in fraud.
There is no money in stopping the fraud.

CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA: LA Housing Department Financial Officer Admits Witnessing Multiple Instances of Fraud Up To “$10–$20 Million” & “Going To People’s Pockets,” Homeless Developers Committing Forms Of Embezzlement, With Superiors Looking The Other Way To Help Mayor Karen Bass Maintain “Re-Election Funds.”
“I have a couple of developers doing really sketchy stuff. My project was with a developer called CRCD — Marcella Gardens. We [LA City] can’t figure out where all the money is going… it’s going to people’s pockets.”
“If they [LA Housing Department] were to call out the people [Developers] contacting Karen Bass’s office, she might not get enough money for re-election — or for what she needs done.”
“For whatever reason, LAHSA gets allocated a ton of money, but they [LAHSA] don’t really have a whole lot to show for it.”
Donald Byers, a Finance Development Officer from the Los Angeles housing programs, admits on hidden camera that millions of taxpayer money disappear inside the city’s low-income housing system. Byers told our undercover journalist he flagged the fraud internally but was ignored.
“I’ve reported it… nothing happens.”
Accountability is avoided. Despite years-long delays on projects, funding continues to flow even when, by his own admission, officials are failing. Meanwhile, as billions are poured into homelessness programs, the money is “going to people’s pockets.”
Despite years-long project delays, funding continues to flow even as, by his own admission, oversight appears to be failing. After raising red flags, Byers says nothing changed and now he claims, “At this point, I’m just covering myself.”
Our team reached out to Byers for comment and he threatened to contact lawyers in order to stop our publication. We also reached out to Los Angeles Housing Department , CRCD , & Karen Bass for comment. Mayor Karen Bass replied with, “this is total BS.”
Thank you, @SavanahHernandez for hosting this report.
