This is absolutely insane!! Trump has just signed an executive order: the H1-B visa will now require a fee of $100,000!👀https://ibef.org/industry/ecommer

This is the reality, and the real unemployment rate in the United States will be higher.

On the surface, it looks like a move to crack down on companies outsourcing jobs to foreign workers. But in reality, it could backfire: offshore outsourcing may actually increase, leaving even fewer jobs for Americans.

The policy mainly targets India, and it could end up pushing U.S. companies to shift more of their operations directly to India.

The real question now is: how do we ensure that American jobs are protected and not taken away by India?

The approximate number of jobs outsourced from the United States each year

Multiple sources estimate that about 3,000,000 jobs are outsourced from the U.S. to other countries annually.

India’s IT-BPM (Information Technology & Business Process Management) industry employed around 5.4 million people in 2023.

The majority of India’s IT-BPM revenue comes from export services, meaning outsourced work for foreign companies — many of which are American firms.

A vocational school in Hunan province has come under fire after students claimed their dormitory was converted from a public restroom. Videos posted online show dimly lit rooms with rows of bunk beds, damp concrete floors, and half-open squat toilets at the far end, raising public concern over student welfare.

The incident took place at Yongzhou Industrial and Trade Secondary Vocational School. One student alleged his dormitory, located in the basement beneath the school canteen, was once a communal lavatory. He described the stench in summer as “unbearable.”

In the footage, a peeling green wooden door opens into a room lined with more than 20 bunk beds. The video ends with shots of dirty squat toilets separated by crumbling tile partitions.

The school denied that the dormitory had been converted from a public toilet. However, the local education bureau acknowledged that the half-open toilet design violated regulations and ordered the school to make immediate improvements.

https://v.douyin.com/hc2InkYNIrQ/

The controversy has fueled broader discussions on social media about conditions in China’s vocational schools, which often serve students from working-class families and receive less funding than top-tier institutions. Many netizens questioned how such facilities could have passed inspection in the first place.

https://www.reddit.com/r/China_irl/s/vpUMXO5ZuiBehind the Chinese government’s sweeping promise of “universal social security coverage,” a silent crisis is unfolding. New policies now require nearly 100 million “flexible workers”—including the unemployed, gig workers, and freelancers—to pay full contributions to five types of social insurance and the housing fund. Once only responsible for basic medical insurance, they now bear both employer and employee costs.

For those earning 3,000 yuan ($416) a month, contributions can exceed one-third of their income—nearing 40% in some areas. Analysts warn this could drive many out of the system, deepening poverty.

Experts believe the change reflects long-term deficits in China’s local pension funds. Massive infrastructure projects and administrative spending have squeezed social welfare budgets. Reports of misappropriated or idle funds have surfaced, though officials deny wrongdoing. Still, fiscal imbalances are increasingly visible.

Adding to public anger, Australian media recently reported that a Chinese elite with a diplomatic “white passport” fled after causing a fatal car accident—posting AU$70 million in bail. The story was swiftly censored in China, but frustration lingers.

Commentators argue China’s communist-era welfare model now relies disproportionately on its poorest workers, while elites enjoy exemptions. Factories continue to operate on 12-hour “double shifts,” with workers paid by output. To survive, one Chinese worker must often match the productivity of 12–15 Western workers.

These low-cost goods flood Western markets, while factory owners profit and deflect blame: “It’s the Americans who are sanctioning us,” workers are told. Anti-American sentiment is stoked, even as U.S. consumers unknowingly benefit. Meanwhile, real profits flow back to the state via banks and taxes, forming what critics call a “closed-loop” economy.

“This is a system where laborers carry the state,” said one analyst. “And they can’t opt out.”

v=DZJdNsuxI6EIn China’s export-driven economy, “Made in China” has long been associated with low cost and high efficiency. But behind this pricing advantage lies a system where millions of workers are subjected to relentless 12-hour shifts under high-pressure conditions.

Many factories operate under a “two-shift” model—day and night rotations of 12-hour workdays. With wages calculated per piece, workers must produce at volumes 10 to 15 times greater than their Western counterparts just to maintain a basic standard of living. “If you don’t work like crazy, you simply can’t survive,” said a worker from Guangdong.

The cheap goods created under this exploitative model are then exported in bulk to markets in Europe and the U.S. Meanwhile, inside China, factory owners enjoy substantial profits while working with local authorities to shape a narrative that diverts worker frustration. Messages like “We suffer because the Americans are suppressing China” are commonly repeated inside factory walls. Some factories even organize “political study” sessions to reinforce the idea that external enemies—particularly the U.S.—are the source of economic hardship, not internal policies or employer behavior.

This propaganda tactic is not new. Since Mao Zedong’s era, the image of the U.S. has gradually been framed as a hostile force. However, historically, before the Communist takeover, relations between China and the U.S. were very friendly. In the early 20th century, many Chinese students studied abroad in America, and the U.S. offered China assistance in education, healthcare, and industry. During World War II, the American “Flying Tigers” even fought alongside Chinese forces against Japan. But today, such history has largely been erased from public view.

As a result, ordinary American consumers are now unwittingly portrayed as moral oppressors of the Chinese people, while the real beneficiaries of the system—factory owners and their allies in the government—sit atop vast profits. Many businesses avoid paying employer-side social insurance contributions, further reducing labor costs. A portioPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

4Chan Hacked & Exposed As Israeli Mossad Honeypot/Propaganda/Incitement Site

Sometimes Intelligence Agencies get caught doing things in public - designed to fool the public - and US Intel and the Israeli Mossad just got caught. The "controversial" website 4Chan turns out to be run by US Feds and Israeli Mossad. They originated the ENTIRE "Q" nonsense! It is now exposed that ALL of "Q" was a deliberate Intel operation!

Last night, it was revealed that the website "4Chan" got hacked.

It turned out they were using a VERY OLD and outdated version of PHP (10 years old) to run with their server software, and that version of PHP had lots of security vulnerabilities.

4chan was breached by "Soyjak Party" operatives who exploited outdated PHP code to access backend systems, leaking site source files and exposing moderator emails — some tied to .edu and .gov domains. The Hackers got EVERYTHIING - the entire database!

Geolocation stats are leaked. Leaked post data revealed Israel as the dominant source of /pol/ activity since 2014.

Almost all posts on 4chan were Israeli intelligence contractors pretending to be USA.

Mossad has been running an absolute massive propaganda campaign on the American internet.

Despite being around 0.12% of the world’s population, Israel accounted for … almost 50% of all 4chan posts; about 226 Million!

Mossad has been using the website for years to help stoke the rise of Nazi & far-right movements hostile toward Muslims.

US Govt Betrays Basic Constitutional Freedoms US Veterans Fought To Protect

On Capitol Hill, two US military veterans were removed from a Senate hearing Wednesday after they accused committee members of complicity in genocide in Gaza. Former Army intelligence officer Josephine Guilbeau was led away in handcuffs alongside retired Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Aguilar.

He worked as a security contractor for the militarized U.S.- and Israeli-backed so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation before blowing the whistle on the organization’s deadly attacks on Palestinian civilians seeking food.

Josephine Guilbeau: “We are being arrested right now for interrupting a foreign affairs hearing on nominations because the U.S. is complicit in genocide! They are complicit in the slaughter of babies!”

Anthony Aguilar: “When the United States Congress comes after veterans, they will come after you. Every American sitting at home right now needs to realize that you are paying for a genocide.”

I have to tell you, when I first saw the video, and witnessed two uniformed members of the US military telling Americans to "rise-up against these corrupt politicians" it struck a real nerve. For the MILITARY to be telling Americans to "rise-up" is an utterly extraordinary thing. Extremely troubling on every level!

When I got further details about this being a Senate Hearing and these two military people opposing the ongoing genocide in Gaza, what I was seeing made a lot more sense.

Many (but not all) Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate ARE, in FACT, bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby. They are good little Goyim, doing their Master's bidding. With the arrest of these military members, we can all now see that many (but not all) of our representatives and Senators are not what they were elected to be; instead they are traitors. Traitors to America. Traitors to humanity.

I. Background

India’s population is approaching 1.5 billion, making it the core region of global demographic growth. At the same time, the scale of Indian migration to North America and Europe has expanded significantly over the past decade. Due to the principle of birthright citizenship, even if Indian immigrants reside illegally in the United States, their children born on U.S. soil automatically obtain full American citizenship and voting rights.

In theory, this system creates a kind of “replacement effect”: illegal immigrant groups secure legal status and political influence through their children, thereby indirectly reshaping the composition of U.S. citizens and the distribution of votes.

II. Recent Case

In August 2025, a severe traffic accident occurred in Florida:

The suspect was an Indian male whose immigration status remains disputed.

The incident resulted in the deaths of three legal U.S. citizens.

The case sparked large-scale petitions across India and diaspora communities, with signatures exceeding two million, demanding “lenient treatment” for the suspect.

Such mobilization of opinion, in effect, represents collective pressure from overseas communities on the U.S. judicial system.

III. Investigative Findings

Through tracking multiple cases, we have identified the following patterns:

1. The “Population Replacement” Logic in Extreme Cases

When an illegal immigrant causes the death of a legal U.S. citizen, it effectively eliminates a legitimate vote.

If the immigrant’s child is born in the U.S., that child will obtain citizenship and voting rights, creating “intergenerational substitution.”

2. Transnationalization of Petitions and Lobbying

Large-scale Indian community petitions are not isolated but rather organized and strategic.

This dynamic may gradually evolve into an external variable influencing U.S. judicial and political systems.

Austin, Texas — August 27

Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new law prohibiting individuals and entities tied to foreign adversaries and designated dangerous organizations from buying land in Texas.

Supporters say the measure protects state security and prevents hostile powers from accessing farmland and critical infrastructure. “Texas land must remain in the hands of Texans and trusted allies,” Abbott said at the signing.

Critics warn the law could fuel discrimination against immigrant communities, particularly those of Chinese, Iranian, Russian, and North Korean descent. Civil rights groups argue it may face constitutional challenges.

The move sparked discussion abroad. On Chinese social media, some users voiced support, noting that only wealthy elites can afford overseas property given China’s strict $50,000 annual foreign exchange limit. Others reacted with irony, suggesting the U.S. might as well revive exclusion-era policies.

Texas now joins a growing list of states restricting foreign land ownership, reflecting mounting concerns over national security and foreign influence.

https://www.globaltimesobserver.com/2025/08/29/us-proposal-annex-okinawa-51st-state-sparks-japan-outcry/

Washington, D.C. — A fringe group of American civilians has proposed annexing Okinawa, Japan, as the 51st U.S. state, sparking outrage and straining U.S.-Japan relations. The idea, circulating on X, argues that the U.S. should secure its East Asian influence amid rising tensions with China. Japan has condemned the proposal as a violation of its sovereignty.Supporters claim annexing Okinawa would counter China’s growing power. They argue Japan, shaped by ancient China and modern America, may use China’s rise to break free from U.S. influence. “Japan exploited China’s past chaos,” one X post stated. “Now it might align with Beijing to defy America.” The proposal coincides with Japan’s opposition to U.S. tariffs on its goods, which Tokyo calls unfair, deepening bilateral tensions.Historical analogies fuel the debate. Critics note Japan’s invasions of China during its internal struggles, like the Second Sino-Japanese War. Some claim Mao thanked Japan for weakening his rivals, a disputed assertion. Commentators suggest the U.S. is now exploiting Japan’s reliance on American military protection, mirroring past dynamics.Protests have erupted in Okinawa, with residents decrying the proposal as colonialist. Japan’s government has reaffirmed Okinawa’s cultural significance, rejecting annexation. China, while silent, watches closely, with state media hinting Japan’s frustration could push it toward Beijing.The U.S. State Department dismissed the proposal as “speculative.” However, the controversy underscores growing cracks in the U.S.-Japan alliance and the complex power dynamics in East Asia as China’s influence expands.

Japan’s Potential Shift Toward China Amid U.S.-China Economic War Tokyo, August 29, 2025 — As the U.S.-China trade war escalates, whispers of Japan covertly aligning with China have surfaced, driven by economic pragmatism and geopolitical maneuvering. Historical claims that Mao Zedong thanked Japan for its invasion of China, weakening the Nationalists and aiding the Communist rise, fuel speculation that Japan might now exploit U.S.-China tensions to pivot toward Beijing. During the 1950s to 1970s, Mao reportedly expressed gratitude to Japanese delegations, crediting the invasion for crippling the Kuomintang, enabling the Communist Party’s 1949 victory. This historical narrative, though debated, resonates today as Japan navigates a delicate balance. The U.S.-Japan alliance, a cornerstone of regional security, faces strain over U.S. tariffs on Japanese goods and proposals to annex Okinawa. Japan’s trade ministry recently criticized these tariffs as “regrettable,” hinting at economic retaliation. Meanwhile, Japan’s deep economic ties with China—$266.4 billion in bilateral trade in 2023—offer a lifeline. Japan’s investments in China’s modernization since the 1970s and shared regional frameworks like ASEAN Plus Three suggest a foundation for cooperation. Chinese state media reported Japan, China, and South Korea discussing joint responses to U.S. tariffs, though Tokyo downplayed the claim.

As the U.S.-China economic war intensifies, Japan may quietly strengthen ties with Beijing, leveraging historical pragmatism to secure economic stability while maintaining its U.S. alliance facade. (Word count: 300)

Some international students returning from Western countries have recently drawn attention for their online activity. Observers suggest that a small number may be involved in campaigns promoting perspectives aligned with their home countries, with many students coming from China and Japan.

Critics say these returnees, who studied in the United States, United Kingdom, or Canada, sometimes post content challenging Western values and policies. After returning home, they are reported to share these views with local communities, often joining discussions that criticize American values and social norms. Some of their posts also advocate for more open migration into Western societies or express positions that appear intended to influence public debate. Analysts note that distinguishing personal opinion from coordinated messaging can be difficult.

Some observers also point out that Japanese students occasionally reference historical events from the previous century, which can shape how they approach discussions on international issues and current Western policies.

“Whether intentional or not, these voices often reflect their home country’s narratives or cultural context,” said one media researcher. Human rights advocates further note that these commentators rarely address domestic policies in their own countries, raising questions about the independence of their perspectives.

Supporters argue that returnee students are exercising free expression and offering perspectives often underrepresented in Western discourse. “Not every critical post is part of a propaganda campaign,” said a cross-cultural communication expert.

Governments in North America and Europe remain cautious about potential foreign influence online. While officials stress that most international students pose no security concern, reports of coordinated campaigns have led to heightened scrutiny of certain accounts and content.

https://m.163.com/dy/article/IE70EABK0552RR09.html?spss=adap_pcWhen a Beijing child recently told reporters that a 15 million yuan robbery (It should be noted that 15 million in the last century would be worth several billion today.)— the central plot of the crime film The Eight Suspects — was “nothing compared to a single apartment my family owns,” the comment cut deeper than mere childish arrogance. It crystallized a growing unease in China: the sense that a gilded class of elites has become detached from the realities faced by ordinary citizens.

This was not an isolated moment. Just weeks earlier, a young Chinese actress — the daughter of parents working in a government disaster relief office — appeared in public wearing earrings reportedly worth millions of yuan. Her explanation, that they were a gift from her mother, only underscored the implausibility of her family’s official income supporting such extravagance. Many citizens concluded the obvious: that funds intended for earthquake victims had been diverted into private luxuries.

Instead of addressing these allegations, Beijing’s response has been silence and protection. No investigation, no accountability, no reckoning. In shielding elites from scrutiny, the government signals that its loyalty is not to the people it governs, but to the maintenance of privilege.

Such episodes echo an older style of governance — one that resembles Stalinist systems, where power was not constrained by transparency but by the state’s ability to suppress dissent and protect its own. In modern China, public anger may erupt online, but the machinery of accountability rarely follows.

The child’s offhand remark about family wealth and the celebrity’s tone-deaf display of ill-gotten luxury are not mere scandals. They are symptoms of a political system where corruption festers and where the gap between rulers and ruled grows ever wider. And the government’s refusal to act is itself the most telling admission: inequality is not a problem to be solved, but a structure to be preserved.

Be Prepared! India-Pakistan Fighting Escalating

RELATED: >>>/newsplus/315016 (Pakistan Government Tells Citizens To Prepare Two Months Food Rations Far Too Late)

The Pakistan-India conflict is one of the hardest to report on. The amount of misinformation is insane even when there’s no active fighting, their media spreads fake or twisted narratives. Independent voices are rare, and censorship is massive.

India just issued an Executive Order to Social Media giant "X" ordering them to make ~8,000 accounts unavailable in India! X was warned they would be fined, and their local employees inside India ARRESTED if the order was not implemented immediately! Strangely, that same Social media outlet (X) was previously unavailable inside Pakistan, but that ban has been LIFTED by Pakistan. So India, often touted as a "Democracy," has imposed crushing media censorship, while Pakistan has opened up the information.

The situation has already risen to the point where I have to take everything I see, photos, videos, statements from officials, with a huge grain of salt. Behind the scenes, very many INTEL assets and analysts are working to verify stuff, and even they struggle. That’s how deep the fog of disinfo is already running in this conflict.

India has ORDERED all hospitals in and north of Chandigarh on high alert and have all doctors and nurses available 24/7.

Pakistan put all health care centers on high alerts. All private offices have been directed to have drills for employees how to evacuate in emergency. Leaves of all security personnel, medical staffers & government officers have been cancelled.

The troubles taking place are NOT limited to Jammu and Kashmir. Missiles and Drones are being launched by both sides, against targets and population centers hundreds of miles away. There have been deaths on both sides, both civilian and military. NumPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What stupid boomer wrote this shit?

Most of it is complaining about their personal experience as if anyone cares.

Yes, little boomer.

We know you love to talk about yourself and complain about everything.

But no one else cares.

Also using all caps as if something is shocking doesn't work on normal people.

Stick to your boring he said, she said stories.

Also fuck all hook noses
