Overriding {local_link} or {permalink} template parameters

Section Editor — Thu, 14 May 2020 00:24:31 +0000

If your template has the links wrapped in {permalink}, to change them to a local link use the change_to_local_link=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
If your template has the links wrapped in {local_link}, to change them to a permalink use the change_to_permalink=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
- In this case also please set up the same template on both article_detail_template=”” and template=”” parameters, so it wouldn’t cache that page with a detail page. Otherwise it will show both the article_detail_template feed. Also make sure to add ignore_filter=”true” as the feed items get filtered with the current item that you’re trying to view. In order to stop the filter you’ll need to set it to true.

See all FeedsPress parameters here.

Your Ad Code Goes Here

Federal watchdogs just handed down a five-year prison sentence and a jaw-dropping $128 million penalty to the CEO behind one of the most blatant rip-offs of taxpayer-funded “Obama phones” in U.S. history—making you wonder, how deep does the swamp go when programs meant for the needy turn into goldmines for crooks?

At a Glance

Q Link Wireless CEO Issa Asad sentenced to five years in prison for defrauding federal Lifeline and pandemic relief programs
Company ordered to pay more than $128 million in penalties and restitution
Scheme involved fake claims for subsidized “Obama phones” and fraudulent COVID relief loans
Case exposes major vulnerabilities and lack of oversight in federal welfare programs funded by taxpayers

Historic Penalty Exposes Massive “Obama Phone” Scam

Issa Asad, the CEO of Q Link Wireless out of Dania Beach, Florida, is now sitting behind bars after orchestrating what prosecutors call one of the most audacious welfare frauds on record. For eight years, Asad and his company milked the FCC’s Lifeline program—what many Americans know as the “Obama phone” handout—by submitting fake claims, inflating user numbers, and blocking customers from canceling service, all to rake in millions in taxpayer money that was supposed to help struggling families afford basic communication.

During the COVID pandemic, Asad doubled down, filing bogus applications for Paycheck Protection Program funds, siphoning off relief dollars that should have gone to real small businesses on the brink. The Department of Justice called this “a brazen scheme of staggering proportions,” and the $128 million price tag is a testament to just how much damage a single corrupt executive can do when government dollars flow unchecked.

These are not victimless crimes. Every dollar stolen from Lifeline and pandemic relief means less help for honest Americans—veterans, seniors, and families fighting to stay afloat in a country still reeling from inflation and runaway government spending. The fact that someone could so easily game the system for so long is a slap in the face to taxpayers who expect their hard-earned money to be handled with some basic level of competence and honesty.

How Federal Programs Became a Playground for Fraudsters

The FCC’s Lifeline program started back in 1985 with the noble goal of making sure low-income Americans had access to critical phone service. Over time, it ballooned into a multi-billion-dollar operation with layers of bureaucracy and very little real oversight. Q Link Wireless was one of dozens of companies approved to hand out subsidized phones and collect fat monthly checks from Washington.

Asad and his team cooked the books, padded their rolls with phantom customers, and kept people locked in to keep the cash flowing. They even lied to the government to snatch pandemic relief loans at the height of the COVID crisis. The feds finally caught up with them after years of abuse, but only after they had already pocketed millions—money that will never be fully recovered, no matter how big the penalty. This isn’t just a story about one bad actor; it’s a warning sign about what happens when government grows too big, too fast, and forgets who it’s supposed to serve.

The same government programs that were supposed to help the most vulnerable became easy pickings for corporate scammers. The left is always calling for more federal “investment” in social programs, but every time the government opens another cash spigot, you can bet there’s a line of grifters waiting to cash in. And who pays the bill? The American taxpayer—again and again.

Consequences for Americans: Trust, Tax Dollars, and Access at Risk

Now, with the case closed and Asad in prison, Q Link Wireless is coughing up over $128 million in penalties and restitution. That’s the largest hit in FCC history for a scam of this kind, but the damage doesn’t end there. Low-income households who depend on Lifeline could face disruptions as regulators scramble to tighten oversight. Other telecom providers are now under the microscope, facing heavier compliance burdens and costs—all because one company decided to treat the rules as suggestions. The FCC and DOJ are promising stricter controls, but how many more billions have already been lost to similar scams that never made the headlines?

Taxpayers are left wondering why it took so long for anyone in Washington to notice the red flags. This is exactly why so many Americans have lost faith in big government “solutions.” When bureaucrats hand out money with no strings attached, corruption becomes the rule, not the exception. If the goal was to make phone service affordable for the poor, the result has been the enrichment of fraudsters and the erosion of public trust. The only people who seem to win are the ones willing to break the rules.
