https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1991621743186964640.htmlA few days ago, Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) put out a damning report on Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR); specifically, the California branch. I took the time to independently verify their claims -- and can affirm they are quite damning.CAIR, if you remember, is a Muslim Brotherhood front and was recently declared a terrorist organization by Governor Abbott.As always, patience as I pull together the thread.
The report opens with a startling claim - that CAIR-CA has abused millions of dollars.
Here's a prior thread where CAIR got exposed as being tied to Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas: https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1955360116007645428In its federal audit, CAIR reported receiving over 15 million dollars, mostly for supporting Afghan refugees in legal representation. That is an oddity -- since its accompanying 990 reports about 15 million dollars in expenses, 2 million of which is used in "fundraising events."
That money is not easily explained by any other means -- they had been operating at under 10 million dollars until they got a sudden injection in 2024 thanks to federal dollars.
NCRI went through the quarterly reports from CAIR in accordance with their grant proposal and found that they helped less than 10% of the proposed pool -- only 177 Afghan refugees.Receiving 15 million taxpayer dollars to represent 1,800 clients is outrageous enough, but 15 million dollars to represent 177 refugees is all that much worse...
Of the immigrants who received services under this grant, 70% were not Afghan refugees: for instance, 42 Mexican nationals received naturalization services funded by this grant restricted for Afghan refugees. Other recipients included citizens of hostile foreign nations, such as Russia, China, and Iran.By using targeted refugee funds for unrelated populations, CAIR-CA may have violated the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §3729) and federal restrictions on grant-purpose diversion.
Additionally, CAIR-CA was obligated to distribute $5 million of this grant to its network of approximately 40 external service providers, but instead diverted $3.6 million (over 70% of these funds) internally, potentially violating grant law 2 C.F.R. §200.331 & §200.403 with respect to conflict of interest and self-dealing.
The natural question is -- where did the money go?NCRI found that this money coincided with a great increase in lobbying efforts that went unreported on CAIR's 990.And indeed, CAIR-CA's own annual report talks a lot about its own counter-Israel lobbying and barely mentions any legal services given.
This is the same CAIR branch which @nypost exposed as giving anti-Israel protesters $1000.One can only wonder if it is not coincidental that the MAGA civil war started immediately after Trump brokered the peace deal with Palestine and it no longer made sense to redirect that money to college protesters.
CAIR-CA was a supporter of No Kings and also Prop 50 in California.Your taxpayer dollars, financing your own coup...
NCRI quantified some of the dollar amounts. CAIR's lobbying isn't registered with the federal government -- which they believe to be in violation of the Political Reform Act (Gov. Code §§ 86100–86117.), the Lobbying Disclosure Act (2 U.S.C. § 1602), and IRS 501(c)(3) limits on political activity (31 U.S.C. § 1352).You can download the full NCRI report here; they've done a good job of linking all the receipts.https://networkcontagion.us/reports/on-intifada-and-tax-reform-how-federal-funds-bankroll-cairs-radical-agenda-in-california/CAIR needs to be federally declared a terrorist group for their ties to Muslim Brotherhood, and all funding ties cut off forever.
>>522117289for those that don't know, CAIR is the blood brother of AIPAC
sounds like a aipac and isreal lobby smear campaign to cover up for epstein and pollard, basically another qatar type of situation, i wonder if miga buys it because america first certainly wont
