Authoritarian German governance contributed a lot of immigrants who fled it to the US in the 1800s, especially central US states.

General Discussion / Euros can't seem to shake their love of authoritarianism

The chancellor of Germany says free speech is just a kooky American idea that he doesn't share:

“Please don’t come to me with free speech... That is at most a libertarian political understanding from parts of the USA that I personally do not share. A liberal society must still be able to protect its citizens from false information, from personal degradations, from discrimination.”

Whenever anyone snivels about free speech being a gateway to bad things happening, I ask them, "Who told you that you were allowed to say that?"

Washington Finally Connected the Dots on Fraud Cases Across the Country

Twenty-seven FBI field offices were working fraud cases that looked local. Then Washington finally put the data in the same room.

What emerged wasn't dozens of unrelated problems. The FBI says investigators connected over 40 cases to the same strategic threat and the same group of overseas actors.

From the FBI:

Quote
Launched in August, the NFDC brings together the FBI, federal law enforcement agencies, Offices of Inspector General, and state partners in a first-of-its-kind effort to identify fraud across taxpayer-funded programs. Rather than evaluating investigations in isolation, the center combines cross-agency data and artificial intelligence to help investigators spot patterns, connect cases, and dismantle organized criminal networks.

The initiative stems from a broader "whole of government" approach mandated by Executive Order 14395, which established the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
...
Instead of examining one suspicious student loan, Medicare payment, or SBA loan at a time, investigators can search for connections across programs and jurisdictions. The center uses data analytics and AI to help spot patterns that individual offices might miss.

The student-loan investigation offers the clearest example. Individual cases appeared small enough that some might never have attracted major federal attention. Once the data was combined, investigators concluded they were looking at pieces of a much larger foreign-directed operation.

It would be a good idea to trace whether the fraud-money goes for more and farther - = outside of the US - than just the fraudster's MBZ and McMansion.

Should a medical research employer trust her to trust a researcher to work with due diligence with a coworker or supervisor whose religion or political POV she hates and celebrates being murdered? If Daddy or Mommy aren't similar bigots, they need to have a chat with her.
