Lazy local right wing content recycler/fascist fan page, GUSD Parents [sic] Voices seems thrilled at the possibility of Trump investigating Covid PPP loan fraud.
Given the greater Glendale areas very recent history of rampant medicare fraud and prevalence of other corruption-heavy businesses like hospice facilities, ambulance chaser law firms and shady networks of llcs, there's a good chance these wannabe stone throwers will realize their own homes are made of glass.
Let's take a closer look.
STRANGE LLCs TAKING LOADS OF FREE GOVERNMENT LOANS
If WE were going to investigate possible fraud, we'd definitely look to the list of shady LLCs all formed on the same day to make maxxed out donations to two-time loser candidate Jordan Henry. Digital Lion, Dot 818, Finturf, Start Digital, TrySmartly, Storefront Lenders, Plat LLC, DirectLink all were created on the same date in 2022 and registered to the same Brand Boulevard address and/or affiliated with a lawyer named Stephen Newstadt.
At least two of those companies received 6-7 figure PPP loans which were forgiven. (As in, they got to keep the money.)
CLARKIAN MEDICAL TAKES OVER $27,000
We'd also recommend looking into Clarkian Medical, the entity which appears to employ failed Matt Gaetz-loving congressional candidate Alex Balekian and his immigrant husband turned failed city council candidate James Clarke. The couple banked over $27k in free PPP money.
SHADY LAWYERS LOVE LOANS - ARA NAJARIAN GETS PAID
The law firms currently engaged in anti public school litigation-- typically on behalf of culture warrior plaintiffs like Aneta Krpekyan, Jessica Tapia and Ray Shelton also benefitted.
This whole parasitic group seemed happy to take the Covid money when they weren't busy wasting everyone's time fighting and litigating against pandemic safety measures.
Speaking of lawyers, aggrieved city councilman Ara Najarian, made sure his law firm got some of that sweet sweet PPP cash. Too bad he didn't invest it in figuring out how to win lawsuits.
PRIVATE SCHOOLS GONNA PRIVATE SCHOOL: MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOANS FORGIVEN
While Ara's sister Maro Yacoubian did not get funds for her Armenian school pet project, numerous other private religious schools in the area - including schools that are the favorite of reactionaries too bougie to homeschool - received large sums.
So weird that all that tuition money just wasn't enough- what happened to bootstraps and small government?
Fun fact: Indicted lawyer John Eastman is on the board of St. Monica Academy, a favorite of the local anti-public school media industrial complex.
In the larger LOKA extended universe, we'd be remiss if we didn't note that book banning queen and Council for National Policy member Karen England made sure to snag 20k on behalf of her non-profit lobbying and propaganda machine, Capitol Resource Institute (originally founded by multimillionaire Republican politicians in the late 1980s to oppose abortion, sex education and gay civil rights).
Imagine taking 20k of our taxpayer dollars to make instagram videos of herself reading the sexy parts of books to scare religious boomers and millennial tradwives. We look forward to Trump's investigation!
