  1. Massive India H-1B Visa Fraud Ring Busted…

    The long-simmering scandal over America’s H-1B visa program has erupted into a full national crisis, as Indian law enforcement has uncovered a sprawling network of universities selling counterfeit degrees—many of which were allegedly used by foreign nationals to fraudulently obtain H-1B visas and enter the United States workforce.

    The raid has set off alarm bells in Washington, and for good reason: the integrity of a program designed to attract the world’s best talent has been systematically exploited for decades.

    According to initial reports, the fraud ring spans no fewer than 28 universities across India, with fake certificates and counterfeit institutional seals recovered across the medical, nursing, and engineering fields. In a staggering display of industrial-scale deception, investigators have seized approximately 100,000 counterfeit certificates so far.

    The fraud bust is merely the most dramatic chapter in an ongoing story of systemic abuse that conservative voices have warned about for years. A former U.S. consular officer who served in Chennai, India — one of the world’s largest H-1B visa-processing posts — has alleged that between 80 and 90 percent of H-1B visa applications from India during her tenure contained fraudulent documentation.

  3. #IranWar Update: "An Emerging Deal Could Cement Iran’s Control of Strait of Hormuz. The deal would address Pres. Trump’s most urgent political problem by allowing ships to move again. But it would give Iran strategic leverage it did not have before the war":

  5. Columnist and West Point graduate Lucian Truscott IV sums up Trump's Art of War:
    "One, tell the enemy what you’re going to do and when you’re going to do it."
    "Two, don’t bother with strategy, just blather."
    "Three, tell the enemy for about the 11th time that nothing less than “surrender” will bring the air attacks to a halt."
    "Four, put your faith in the former weekend host on Fox News you picked to run your military, because he has tattoos and he knows what it takes to win a war."
    And finally, "Make sure you stop the bombing by the time Wall Street opens on Monday morning so the markets, and your own bottom line, don’t take too bad of a hit."
    Yes, the entire short article is well worth your time.

  13. Follow the Money Toward WWIII — Russia’s $300 billion of confiscated assets make peace close to impossible

    It has been said that all wars are “bankers wars,” however, against the modern era of inverted fascism where corporations tell the govt what policies take priority, the more accurate truism ‘is all wars being controlled by money’, not necessarily banks.

    The European Commission has constructed a very special kind of proactive financing for Ukraine that doesn’t require them to give their own €uros to the historically corrupt country.  Partly because the EU doesn’t have their own money, and partly because everything the EU does in the sphere of finance is always a false construct, what the EU put together was a financial system based on sanctioned, confiscated (ie stolen) Russian sovereign wealth funds {citation}.

    As part of the sanction regime, the EU and western NATO alliance seized roughly €250 billion, $300 billion USD, in Russian sovereign wealth assets.  As long as the USA was financing the Ukraine government and war effort, those funds sat on the sidelines undiscussed.  However, once the USA stopped writing checks to Ukraine an alternate finance system was needed.

    What the EU (Ursula von der Leyen) put together was a finance package using the confiscated $300 billion in the Russian sovereign wealth fund as collateral for loans to Ukraine.  The EU would send the money to Ukraine as a loan that did not have a payback mechanism. Instead, the thinking goes that when the negotiations for a ceasefire take place, Russia would be forced to give up the confiscated $300 billion as part of a reparations package to Ukraine.

    Ukraine doesn’t have to pay back the loans because Russia will be forced to give up their sovereign wealth fund, and those funds will repay the loans.  That’s the way the EU financing of Ukraine is set up. {SOURCE}  The EU isn’t giving Ukraine EU money; the EU is giving Ukraine the Russian wealth fund money.

    Now, immediately you can see a few problems.

    ♦ PROBLEM 1 – What happens if Russia demands the return of their $300 billion as one of their baseline terms for a peace deal?  If the confiscated money is given back to Russia, the EU and Ukraine are on the hook for the $300 billion they would have spent.

    ♦ PROBLEM 2 – With #1 in mind, there is now an incentive to never reach a peace agreement or ceasefire; at least never reach a solution that would consider the return of the $300 billion.  Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has previously said the stolen money belongs to the Russian people and must be returned; he will never accept the theft.

    There is more than just this very important factor. It strongly appears that the Iran War is spreading and merging with the Ukraine War, which indicates top Western elites are not giving up on destroying Russia, and probably Europe as well. Chaos always favors the strongest players, who may overestimate their positions. Only time will tell. I dislike predictions but do like seeing the signs of things that may come to be and assessing them based on what seems probable. WW3 is a constantly increasing possibility and has been on a front burner since Gaza, and now Iran. If USA agrees to marry Israel’s IDF, that will mean WW3 will follow with much greater probability. Notice the many ties between China and Israel, as both deeply infiltrate USA and Europe with many similar aims. I can imagine an Israeli-Chinese plot to goad Europe and USA into war with Russia, while China and Israel wait on the sidelines to reap the spoils. China will gain territory from and power over a war-torn Russia, while Israel will increase its control over USA and Europe, and probably take full control of Ukraine, if not more. ABN

  19. Sen. Mark Kelly wrote: "The military does not need more testosterone. It needs better leadership. And that starts with the secretary of defense. It also starts with the commander in chief. Pres. Trump is the one that hired Pete Hegseth, who is the most unqualified individual we've ever had in this position, by far. They're firing the wrong people. Pete Hegseth is firing people because they're women and they're black. The President should fire Pete Hegseth."
