how many dot heads you want living next to you? there seems a swarm of them in the land;
When we discuss the politics in countries who accept bribes and payments for influence in political decisions, we call that bribery and corruption. However, when the exact same activity takes place in Washington DC, we call it Lobbying. NASSCOM is now spending money to purchase U.S. politicians and look specifically about how they frame the discussion. (emphasis mine):
[…] Ameet Nivsarkar, VP in Nasscom, said the association was working on various strategies to limit the adverse impact of the immigration bill. “We are engaging with coalitions and consortiums in the US like the US India Business Council, an independent think-tank. It’s also important for our members and non-members to be a part of the advocacy through multiple engagements that requires having local representatives in the US or even talking to their customers to raise the issue on their behalf,” he said.
The immigration bill seeks to make work visas like H-1B more expensive and difficult to obtain for companies that already have a high proportion of their US staff on such visas. Infosys, for instance, is said to have almost 90% of their 15,000 employees in the US on such visas. If these visas become difficult to obtain, it will compel Indian IT companies to significantly alter their business models. They would either have to hire many more local Americans, which would be expensive, or find ways to do more of the work offshore, which would be difficult. Any such changes would put Indian IT companies at a disadvantage against their global competitors who have a strong local American presence. ........more..............
dana bash, an israeli agent confronts tom homan on tv;
In one of President Trump’s best speeches he asked made the following statement: “This election will determine whether we are a free nation, or whether we have only the illusion of Democracy but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system. This is not just conspiracy but reality, you know it and I know it.”
Ten years later and there is more evidence of the illusion of democracy than a free nation. The latest example comes in the form of CNN’s Dana Bash defending the right of illegal aliens to destroy our nation. ..........more..........
larry johnson writes about the latest goings on in 'our' straits of hormuz;
Somebody should tell the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that the Strait of Hormuz is closed for business — American business, that is, and completely under control. President Trump has been saying so for weeks. On August 11 he informed the world by Truth Social that the United States has “total control” of the strait and “I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT,” the naval blockade a “wall of steel” against which “there is nothing Iran can do.” On August 14 he went further: “we own the Hormuz Strait,” letting boats through only “if we want them to come in,” and promised, with a chuckle, to soon declare the waterway a territory of the United States. As recently as three days ago the White House published a release titled “President Trump Was Right: America Controls the Strait of Hormuz,” a tidy chronology of the President assuring reporters the strait is open, functioning, and awash in oil.
The IRGC, evidently, does not subscribe to the newsletter. On Sunday, US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island — the first known American attack on Iranian soil since late July — because, a US official told Al Jazeera and Reuters, Guard units were observed preparing to fire rockets carrying sea mines into the strait the United States supposedly owns. One is left to wonder how Tehran plans to mine a waterway it does not control, into which it is not permitted to bring so much as a boat. The wall of steel, it seems, requires periodic bombing to stay upright.
Iran’s Tasnim agency called it a drone strike. The IRGC confirmed dead and wounded, soldiers and civilians, and promised to answer. The Washington Post and US News carried the same account within hours. Take the official rationale at face value and the strike is narrow, even routine: a counter-mining action to keep the strait open. But the target, the timing, and the diplomacy running underneath the war suggest a second reading worth putting on the table — one considerably less flattering to the “we own it” thesis.............more.........
pcr may be on to something here;
Is the Muslim World Rising?
Paul Craig Roberts
Recently there have been striking new developments that imply major changes in the correlation of forces. These developments have largely gone unacknowledged and their implications unexamined. I made the effort in online interviews on Dialogue Works and On Target. I will now attempt to do so in writing.
One of the developments is Iran’s defeat of US President Trump’s attack on Iran. Trump has been desperate to find a way out of the conflict without admitting defeat. His exit strategy is to redefine the conflict from a military one to an economic one and impose new economic sanctions on Iran and those who trade with Iran, while claiming that the Strait of Hormuz is an American territory through which is moving massive amounts of oil shipments. The combination of a redefined conflict with propaganda comprises Trump’s exit strategy.
Another development is the announcement of a mutual security agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. This development combines conventional military force with oil reserves and nuclear weapons and unifies three separate Muslim ethnicities in a strategic location with a population of 355,390,000 people. These are largely Sunni Muslims.
Another development is the announcement on Iranian news media that Iran, predominantly Shia, has been invited to join the alliance. It true, this would indicate that the schism between Sunni and Shia is breaking down. It would also mean a pact of four countries with 448,700,000 people, larger than the United States, with conventional and nuclear power, a large chunk of the world’s oil reserves, and control over the strategic oil waterways. It would be a bloc of strategic importance to Russia and China as the Muslim four country pact is located such that it protects Russian and Chinese interests. Such a pact could become a de facto alliance of 6 countries. ..........more...........
