Biddeford Maine School Board (maybe) waking up to the societal and economic mistakes they have made

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

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.

A Highly Toxic Silicon Valley Meltdown Over Well Documented H1B Visa Fraud Explodes

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Silicon Valley immigration priority was not the topic I thought would explode and fracture the tenuous MAGA alignment with the New Big Tech group represented by Elon Musk and his billionaire network. However, we learn more every day.

This is a jaw-dropping moment to watch unfold as a very influential sector of the political discourse begins a full-frontal attack against those who are pointing out how the tech community abuse H1B visas to replace American workers. In the background, of course, is the context of widespread immigration policy fraud being one of the priorities for the average Trump supporter.

The Silicon Valley team do not seem to review discussion of the H1B manipulation/fraud within the larger American economy as a problem, as long as the discussion of the visa fraud does not impact their business models. However, as soon as the H1B abuse started to be framed around Silicon Valley’s participation therein, the New Big Tech group take a nuclear war approach to defending their interests.

Having followed the immigration issue for a long time, yet specifically only having a big picture review of the H1B visa issues, it has been astounding to watch how Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks and the Silicon Valley supporters and influencers are responding to having the H1B visa fraud confronted.  The self-interest in their defense is just astronomical to watch unfold.

Empowered by what can only be reasonably defined as their perceived influence over President Trump, the new-era Tech team are quite forcefully telling the MAGA base of Trump-supporting American workers that their concerns, views and perspectives are irrelevant.

It appears that most of the explosive sentiments revolve around H1B visas in the tech sector issued to Indian workers specifically.  Apparently, the friendships, networks and teams attached to the sector of computer engineering carry with them an emotional component.  I guess that should not be a surprise considering this is essentially a peer-to-peer wagon circling, in defense of the H1B visa problems in the tech sector.

As said before, it always appeared the MAGA alignment with Silicon Valley would not be an issue until the interests of the billionaire tech team came into conflict with the MAGA base.  I did not anticipate the fracture being so fast, nor did I anticipate immigration would be the trigger.  However, H1B visa issuance is apparently a key part of the Silicon Valley business model.

That said, several pragmatic aspects of the discussion are now being lost amid a very toxic shouting match that has begun.  President Trump and JD Vance are, perhaps understandably, staying very quiet at the moment.  However, that silence is soon to be impossible as both sides of a very divisive issue are going to eventually demand President Trump to weigh in.

…As I watch this debate unfold, I find myself finally realizing why all the Silicon Valley tech people were such staunch Democrats.  Their worldview does not: (1) seem to comprehend American Economic Nationalism as a priority; (2) seem to appreciate the importance of true liberty in the creation of the remarkable outcomes from American exceptionalism; and (#3) they appear to be inside a bubble of self-interest, unattached and unaffected by the economic issues that have seriously harmed the MAGA base.

In essence, the Silicon Valley network represented by Elon Musk team, does not connect in the same way to the important priorities of middle America.  The technocrats are, well, Technocrats.

Watching this debate unfold is quite remarkable.

For white men there is very little reward for working hard or having talent in modern America — Josiah Lippincott

As a White man, there is very little reward for working hard or having talent. In modern America, the most important number for determining your salary isn’t IQ, GPA, or hours worked but the year you were born.

Generally speaking, the oldest people in any organization are the highest paid and have the most authority. The only exceptions are diversity (non-Whites and women) or nepotism.

This is true about the military, business, academia, government, doesn’t matter.

American work life is demoralizing for talented young men. At every turn, you must justify yourself before tribunals of Boomers, foreigners, and HR cat ladies.

Every internship, job offer, and promotion has to be wargamed, negotiated, and fought for. No one recruits you. No one goes out of their way to help you.

Starting offers are mediocre (assuming you get them at all) and the underlying assumption is always that you will make money “later,” after you’ve “proven yourself” to the reigning gerontocrat, usually after years of grinding.

American business leaders simply don’t give a shit about cultivating future workers and innovators. They would rather go abroad and hire servile corporate drones than offer their talented countrymen an upward boost.

Our institutions are dominated by the selfish, the resentful, and the corrupt. Toxic to the core.

This decline and fall was already happening in American K-12 in the 1950s. I am not sure when it started in colleges and universities but probably not long after if not at that time. The nepotism, educational misdirection, and general parasitism within education began with Jewish teachers who were quietly hostile toward whites, boys especially, but extremely supportive of Jewish students. This group strategy spread quickly from Jews into feminist groups, which were largely Jewish, then to affirmative action, and on it went. Today we are seeing a strong reaction against immigrant Indian nepotism, fraud, and incompetence. They have not learned the tricks of quieter groups who worked in the dark with poisons and worse. I am guardedly pleased to see the strong reactions against the words and actions of Musk and Ramaswamy. American white males especially must understand that there is a long clandestine history to their displacement and that it has been every bit as violent as it has been cultural and ideological. The violence has been clandestine and difficult to see because the attacks were mostly aimed at boys and young men for no other reason than they showed promise or someone was jealous of them. This made the attacks appear random; so-and-so lost his mind to drugs; just lost it for some reason; ‘gave up’, etc. No, many of these random young men you may have observed falling by the wayside were poisoned or maimed. We are well past the middle of a multigenerational war and have already taken millions of causalities. ABN
