FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Project Veritas. James O’Keefe. Russian drug-dealing Medicaid applicants.

You know where this is going, right?

RESIZE: AAA

[UPDATE: I have been made aware that the individuals in this video are county employees, not state ones.]

OK, let me set the background. You are a public sector employee for the state of Ohio; this probably means that you are a Democrat. You are probably aware, however vaguely and dimly, that there is a group out there who went around a few years ago and got ACORN defunded by pretending to be a prostitute and her pimp who wished to get tax help for the former’s prostitution, not to mention tax help for their underaged El Salavadoran hooker enterprise. This was largely considered ‘bad.’ So, you’re working one day, and in walk two men with bad Russian accents who wants to apply for Medicaid benefits, even though one of the men owns a modified sports car with a gold-plated engine that’s been purchased with profits from their illicit drug business. And, oh yes: they need to know about getting public funding for abortions for their under-aged hooker sisters.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Well, you get out the forms.

O’Keefe sums it up here (Via Hot Air)

The first investigation released focuses on four Medicaid offices in Ohio. The undercover reporters intimate that they are drug dealers, drive expensive cars, and possess incredible wealth. At no time did the case workers ask the reporters to leave. Even though the reporters admit to making their living through drug dealing or facilitating child prostitution, the case workers never called the police, Child Protective Services or the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In fact, the case workers appear eager to assist the reporters in filling out the necessary Medicaid paperwork.

Watch the whole video: the raw footage is attached to the end, no doubt to make the Online Left work a little to come up with a phony reason to try to ignore the fact that yet another representative from a traditionally Democratic voting bloc has gotten caught ignoring that little ruleset that we call ‘Western civilization.’ Honestly, it’s downright shocking how often this tactic works, given the way that groups like Veritas and Live Action keep using it. And I think that you can safely assume that this isn’t the last video in the series…

    Knocking head against wall here that people still fall for this!

    God Bless James O’Keefe. Keep it up.

  • sundesy

    Once again proves that the democrats vote base is made up of dumb nitwits.

    As I’ve probably posted here before regarding different topics, one of Progressives greatest strengths, for lack of a better word, is the fact that rational people who should know better have a very difficult time believing just how far gone our system can be, when left in these peoples’ hands.

    O’Keefe is doing great work, but may end up preaching to the choir if he keeps taking things to the nth degree in terms of absurdity. It might be more effective if he showed simple corruption, as opposed to absurd corruption. I can find it very, very easy to imagine trying to explain this story to Liberal-leaning friends, and having them look at me with disbelief because they don’t want to believe things could be this bad. Hell, this instance is so inherently screwed up I can imagine Conservative friends not believing it.

    running this asylum? People so locked up in their little cubicles at work that have no clue what’s going on in the world? ROFL! Or do they deliberately pick the uninformed?

    Even my son who works as a full time EMS director, part time for Life Flight, has a seamless gutter business on the side and shuffles three kids around to sports events watches enough news that he would be able to spot a fishy deal like this and be suspicious. He would’ve been laughing his behind off at these guys.

    Go James!

    4 Congress we need some more like him!

  • DefendUSA

    You see, if these workers for the state were able to think out of the box, they might recognize this kind of fraud or at least question it. That they don’t shows the exact sorry state of so many agencies that commit fraud- And it’s based either on what they are trained to ignore or that they just don’t give a flying eff and seek to bite the hand that feeds. Neither is acceptable.

    There are so many agencies that have more than one regulating body that everything contradicts. And that gets you nothing but complete idiots and inefficiency and equals the waste of taxpayer dollars over and over again.

  • msctex

    My point is that things are so bad, an accurate representation of the truth is so far beyond the pale that it does not serve its intended purpose as well as a less overt example might.

    Smart people have a tough time believing absurd things. Even when they are true.

  • stormbringer

    and numb ditwits, too.

  • johnt

    The moral base is the same, lack of principles ditto, primal urges, greed, sloth, hell they’re all there. What would be unusual would be if they were genuinely indignant.
    Again O’Keefe scores, another deep thrust into the slime filled belly of the Leftist underworld, the thing they call “Progressive”. This will ratchet up the hate another feverish notch or two. But no interest otherwise.

  • mackd

    I would not be surprised to find that these employees were only following some written policy that forbids them from making any type of judgement call regarding prospective clients. Just the opposite, I’d bet there are written rules making them assist anyone who comes in to apply, no matter how outrageous they may seem. Anyone who has workied for government knows this type of policy is the norm. Can’t be discriminatory now can we?

  • blooch

    and given that county employees were targets this time, maybe O’keefe already has plans to sting a school system on testing fraud.

  • msctex

    . . .just so long as the results are not beyond belief.

    Because unfortunately, the True can also beggar belief. Thus less is accomplished than could be accomplished, if only the subject presented were less extreme.

    When did that happen? I thought we didn’t have healthcare for the poor and uninsured in this country and Obamacare didn’t kick in until 2014. It must be the 200% humidity in Ohio today.

    I imagine these are union county employees. Unions in Ohio have been busting their tails to repeal SB5, Gov. Kasich’s union reform bill. They gathered enough signatures to place it on the November ballot and have already begun to bombard Ohio voters with false and misleading advertising, saying it will “destroy the middle class” and take away grandma’s oxygen tank. Here is Exhibit A for why we need union reform.

  • sundesy

    This should send shock waves. The video shows how blatant and comfortable these govt employees are. They are least bit worried consequences. By cockroach theory if you see one cockroach then there must be thousands hiding. No wonder TRILLIONS are PO easily by BHO.

  • msctex

    . . .then more power to him. But I’m afraid like any number of other matters which should be rfont page news and subsequently water cooler talk across the nation, O’Keefe’s efforts are suppressed by the mainstream media as much as they possibly can be, and belittled as well.
