An Indian company responsible for issuing security certificates had their own master security certificates leaked, all of which were under 256 out of 2³⁸⁴ possible numbers. In true Indian fashion, after losing 20% of their stock value, they've blamed bad luck.

the way third worlders use the word "jobs" is less like you or I would- ie doing work- and more like the primitive thoughtform a maggot might have when its chemoreceptors detect ripe flesh: a cavity in which to hunker down, feast, & someday shit out eggs (to take more "jobs").

If Vivek Ramaswamy is fully assimilated into American culture, why are his children named Karthik, Arjun, and Savithri?
Despite my Italian ancestry, my children's names are thoroughly American, not their Italian equivalents.
As if there even EXISTS an American version of "Karthik," "Arjun," or "Savirthri."
Vivek gave his children INDIAN names, because HE HIMSELF is CULTURALLY INDIAN.

Their in group preferences in hiring, they larp their assimilation like no other group, they get here and start trying to tell us what America should be and want to be politicians immediately and have zero humility in the process. The humility they do show is fake and an attempt to gain your acceptance so they can get something

I’ve been around people who went to top Ivies my whole life.
I would say that 25 years ago I would routinely encounter people who were smarter than me who could nimbly shift between analyses based on complex conceptual framing in a range of domains.
Now, it seems like the people who are chosen by those institutions are less likely to have those abilities and they’re less capable of saying something interesting or intelligent. What distinguishes them now is that they’re perfectly REHEARSED, they’re able to repeat something that they’ve just heard flawlessly, they’re in the 0.1% of being able to reflect things back.
I’m sure part of this is technology and socialization but I also think it’s the selection of people these institutions are choosing - they’re are still plenty of smart people out there, it’s just that they’re way more widely dispersed.

Ask anyone who has worked in tech or corporate America what happens when one of them gets put into a management spot. That's what is going to happen in Ohio. That's what you're telling people in Ohio to vote for. They are extremely nepotistic everyone knows this open secret.

🚨 THE MESSAGES KEEP COMING.
I just received this from someone who says they previously worked at one of America’s largest tech companies and asked me to keep their identity private.
Their allegations are extremely specific:
• Non-Indian employees were allegedly given false performance reviews or unrealistic expectations to justify firing them or blocking promotions.
• Indian employees were allegedly given preferential help during performance and leadership reviews.
• They claim 80%+ of the leadership chain within the Google Global Networking teams was Indian.
• And perhaps most seriously, they allege these practices were known by senior leadership and supported by HR.
I have NOT independently verified these allegations.
But here’s what I can’t ignore:
Different people.
Different companies.
Different parts of the tech industry.
Remarkably similar allegations.
At some point, “anecdotal” stops being an excuse not to look.
Don’t believe this person. Don’t believe me. INVESTIGATE IT.
Subpoena the records.
Audit hiring, promotions, performance ratings and terminations.
Compare the outcomes by citizenship, national origin and visa status.
Either the data disproves these allegations, or it exposes something that desperately needs to be addressed.

🚨 I RECEIVED THIS PRIVATE MESSAGE ON LINKEDIN FROM A VP AT A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY.
They asked me to remove their name and company, but gave me permission to share what they described.
They describe:
1. H-1B employees getting onto interview panels and rejecting qualified American candidates in favor of preferred candidates.
2. Interview questions and confidential hiring information being passed to friends or associates before interviews.
3. Interviewers receiving commissions or kickbacks when preferred candidates are hired, including payments connected to staffing vendors.
4. Once hired, favored employees receiving better assignments, visibility and promotion opportunities.
5. American workers being given unrealistic deadlines, criticized, marginalized and eventually pressured to resign.
Their words for what happens inside the company:
“This is called systemic pressure.”
Then they describe a second type of “syndicate.”
According to the source, managers and their subordinates become partners in grocery stores and restaurants, particularly around Dallas and Austin. They rotate responsibilities so one of them is always at the business, creating another source of income outside their corporate jobs.
We’re constantly told H-1B is about hiring the “best and brightest” and the “most qualified.”
But what if the American candidate never had a fair shot in the first place?
I’ve heard versions of this story far too many times.
If you’ve personally witnessed it, DM me here or on LinkedIn.
Send receipts if you have them. Your identity and employer will remain confidential.

This has been backed by studies repeatedly over decades.
Teachers (all not just women) treat boys worse for the same behaviours, and grade worse for the same quality of work when blind tested.
It's not "think".
It's established, observed, repeatable fact.
