Don’t be lulled by fake MAGA truce: H1B issue is indeed consequential. When Dems & GOP offshored mfg (NAFTA, WTO), rationale was that Americans would get great “tech service” jobs—but H1B showed they wouldn’t get those jobs either. 1/
And there’s nothing you can do about it, said Dems and GOP alike. You want those jobs back? Where’s your magic wand? And besides, you deserve the pain, clinging to your guns and God — you’re racist, homophobic, etc. you’re deplorables 2/
This is what Trump was elected to fight, but according to Vivek: In fact, the things that have caused you pain are your fault. Your culture prizes mediocrity, your parents raised you poorly. Then Elon: Fight me on a thing that has hurt you, and I will crush you. 3/
Vivek continues to double down: instead of walking back or even just modifying his public rebuke of American families, he characterizes it as one of his “hard truths” — as other MAGA influencers have jumped to his defense: 4/
‘In fact nothing bad happened, it was simply a conversation, and it’s the left who is trying to divide us!’ But to tell people long targeted by an elite demoralization campaign that they shouldn’t believe what they heard with their own ears and blame it on others is predatory. 5/
So, yes H1B matters because it’s an effect of the core issue — indeed the reason DJT is POTUS — a political and corporate establishment that has waged a half-century long campaign to destroy the American middle class. End
This appears to be the most critical inflection point so far in the information war against USA and Western civilization. The war has been ongoing for many decades but has always remained hidden behind mind-control tricks, which don’t so much fool people as dull their sensibilities. The H1B visa, though, is clear as a bell to anyone with a brain. Big Tech is lying worse than Congress and everybody can see it. If enough people realize this bloody culture war did not start this week but is decades old, this awakening will constitute the biggest Red Pill America has ever swallowed. ABN
Something very interesting and openly obvious is happening amid the backlash that Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley network are facing to their H1B position.
Elon Musk has changed the Twitter algorithm to dimmish the voices of those who would openly confront his network of supporters within Silicon Valley and beyond. If large follower Twitter accounts, like those of Musk himself, David Sacks, Vivek Ramaswamy and Musks’ promoted network of influencers, begin blocking accounts on the platform, then the voices of those accounts get purposefully diminished by the algorithm.
Much like having a VIP section that can remove people from the audience, Musk is pushing opposing viewpoints to the acceptable narrative into the background of the public square.
The timing of this is not accidental. The allies of Musk have been getting blasted by some rather large MAGA accounts over the H1B visa position of the Silicon Valley team. In response, Musk is pushing those opposition voices out of the conversation. This is another way for the newly aligned tech group to maintain influence over the policy of President-elect Donald Trump. In fact, I have been informed this is exactly the purpose.
President Trump announced that David Sacks would lead the tech, crypto and AI policy group. This team being assembled by Sacks are all-in support of H1B visa use to bring in foreign workers. They do not want publicly visible opposition to impede their agenda.
To be fair, it makes sense for the tech network to do this because it is akin to President Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Susie Wiles, saying she would not let what she defines as “clown car people” influence President Trump. It’s an issue of controlling a very directed policy initiative. However, the issues around immigration in general, and H1B visas specifically are critically important to many of the long-term Trump supporters.
Elon Musk is building a bubble around Donald Trump to diminish opposition to the technocratic influence of the new allies.
Predictably, there was always going to be uncomfortable moments in this tenuous MAGA alignment with the billionaire technocrats; however, this is not that. This is far beyond uncomfortable. This is a core issue for millions of Americans, and the Silicon Valley response to controlling the conversation is not good.
Ultimately, as we are all witnessing, many of these people do not have our best interests at heart.
…present religious authorities exalt to the highest esteem and respect an enclosure as the site of the Temple that was in Jesus’ day the chief architectural symbol of Rome’s claim to imperial world power. … Even the worshippers at the “Wailing Wall” are directing their present devotions and venerations to a Roman edifice that their ancestors in Herod’s time held in utter contempt.[9]
In 70 AD, Herod’s Temple was leveled to the ground by the Romans, fulfilling Jesus’s prediction for this “den of thieves” (Mark 11:17): “There will not be one stone left upon another that will not be thrown down” (Mark 13:2). Whether Jesus really said that, or the prophecy was attributed to him in hindsight, the person who included it in his gospel in the early 70s AD would not have put it in those terms if it had been proven false.
The utter destruction of the temple is confirmed by another eyewitness, the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus. The words he ascribes to Eleazar, the Jewish commander at Masada, around 73 AD, make clear that nothing was left of the city but the Roman fort:
Where is this city that was believed to have God himself inhabiting therein? It is now demolished to the very foundations, and it has nothing left but that monument of it preserved, I mean the camp of those [the Romans] that hath destroyed it. (Jewish War, VII, 8, 379)
According to Josephus, every stone of the Temple was overturned because it contained huge amounts of gold, which melted during the fire and descended into the cracks of the stone foundations. The Tenth Legion had the Jewish captives dig up every stone to recover the gold (Jewish War, VI, 6, 1). All the gold recovered from the Temple and from various hiding places (64 according to the Copper Scroll), was instrumental to the ascension of Vespasian and Titus on the imperial throne.
You can’t blame them too much for their complete lack of foresight and total innocence about what a huge scam the refugee, asylum, illegal immigrant boondoggle is. Nor can you blame them for not understanding that Catholic Charities is probably in on the take of this massive geopolitical human replacement war. Nor can you blame them all that much for leaving Maine and local taxpayers stuck with the very long-term bill for these ‘New Mainers’, whom no one ever voted for, despite Mills’ bogus claims. I really do not blame these people but I also hope they will have the courage and moral strength to recognize their mistakes and warn other Maine and USA localities of what taking ‘free money’ from scam artists actually entails.
