Colonialism ended 1946 to 1960's. Some countries too small to be standalone countries are British Protectorates by choice. Colonies were left with functional models for Government Judiciary etc, power grids, hospitals etc where there were none. Within one lifetime what were functioning countries and economies have declined to the point that people want to leave for the UK. Granted, their mineral and other wealth in the ground was less, but it would likely remain undiscovered/unexploited to this day and are now the property of the Independent countries.

As I stated in the post detailing what is purportedly going down: 'This is from my X feed. You will have to judge for yourselves as to the credibility/veracity of this description of what may be going down.' This is what you have to make a judgement on: 'Okay since the H1B visa and country caps and the tech sector and India an Indians are all a hot topic right now, I would like to address this as someone who has worked behind the scenes in H1B consultancies in the tech sector and explain EXACTLY why I’m against removing country caps,' Is he an industry insider or is he posting dishonestly with a political agenda or is he someone just making it up to stimulate profitable engagement etc?

There is suggestion (see what I posted from X above) that the process by which they are being obtained "legally" is not above board.

Please see edited extended version above. Musk is saying he was referring only to the extreme ability O1? something visa not H1B.

I disagree with your/The Daily Mail's title. i think they are clashing with normal people who don't want to be excluded from the workforce and see their town and country turned into little India. Some are suggesting (perhaps tongue in cheek) that Trump wants to annex Canada to get more Indians into the US more quickly. This is from my X feed. You will have to judge for yourselves as to the credibility/veracity of this description of what may be going down. Okay since the H1B visa and country caps and the tech sector and India an Indians are all a hot topic right now, I would like to address this as someone who has worked behind the scenes in H1B consultancies in the tech sector and explain EXACTLY why I’m against removing country caps, against the H1B visa, and against the entire canard that we need to import more people from anywhere, let alone India, to do “jobs that the tech sector can’t find Americans to do: 1) Sourcing Talent- Big companies like Google and Meta have the resources to go and actually pluck out the ACTUAL best talent from these countries, and it’s not hard for them to attract those applicants either because they have the brand recognition. All the best want to work for the best. This isn’t necessarily the problem. The problem is all the no name consultancies and mid size/small size consultancies. They can petition for H1B’s too. How are they sourcing them? Well, they (usually run by Indians) just find a guy from India through their network…who’s willing to work for them and come to America. That’s it. They’ll make sure they have some kind of Bachelors or Masters from some college out there and have the aptitude to learn and understand software that’s it. They aren’t actually “geniuses” or anything like that. They are just willing to work and can learn to “talk the talk” quickly. 2) Importation- once the prospective worker agrees, the consultancy petitions the American government (USCIS) on their behalf, saying they tried to recruit for the job (job doesn’t exist) in America and couldn’t find anyone, that’s why they need to bring this guy. Key part of this is that the visa is tied to the employer, so if the employer drops the worker, worker has to go back. He can’t just find another job. This is the indentured servitude model. 3) The Gambit- the consultancy makes sure the guy speak English, and that’s really it. USCIS can’t actually vet the workers on the knowledge they claim they have, especially a vast and sophisticated field like software. USCIS doesn’t actually have a way to tell if someone is lying about their skills or not. All they have to do is convince the USCIS that they can speak English so they can come and immediately start working here. 4) The Actual Job- once they get the petition for visa approved and they come here, they find out (or already know) they actually don’t have a job here yet. The consultancy now tries to find Corp to Corp contract gigs for the worker. That’s if they actually know the tech and they’re not faking. If they are faking their skills, another workflow is initiated. 5) Training Day (or months) - the fakers are trained for up to 3-4 months in a software that’s marketable and fetch a good hourly contract rate. Basically a coding Bootcamp style program. They go from zero to superficial knowledge in the tech, just enough to pass an interview with a potential client. 6) Sell the fake - after training the fake for 3-4 months, the fake is provided with a fake resume claiming 7-8 years of experience. Why? Because that’s how much experience is needed to demand a minimum of $50 per hour on a contract. Does it work? Duh. These workers trained for 3-4 months routinely fool interviewers looking for 7-8 years experience. 7) The Split- once the job and rate is secured, the consultancy bills at $50 per hour and pays the actual worker the minimum (about $27.50) an hour, and the consultancy pockets the difference. Imagine a 100 H1Bs on a roster doing this for you. Does this sound like fraud? Well that’s because it is, from beginning to end.

If I had written 'you are a cult'

Did you ever formally study science? I would guess not as you seem to think scientific theory/current thinking can be chiselled into tablets of stone and posted an article summarising one paper as "proof" on the ice sheets without recognising that the authors were drawing on multiple theories to support their conclusions. Everyone else is a moron, however. Extrapolation to climate change via greenhouse gases involves all kinds of assumptions and theories that are not the laws of thermodynamics. As I said elsewhere, I did a Science degree, including use of statistics in data samples. My lecturers spent three years telling us NOT to trust the science.

Sounds like you are a member of a cult. Extrapolation to climate change via greenhouse gases involves all kinds of assumptions that are not the laws of thermodynamics.

What about the period post Islamic revolution though? Not even by proxy, right? I mean they're not backing anybody or supplying drones/arms, right. Completely neutral, right?

Where and when was this that you were at school and they taught you all this? Before the French Mandate: 1860 Civil War in Mount Lebanon: This conflict was primarily between Druze and Maronite Christians in Mount Lebanon. It resulted in significant violence, including massacres, leading to an estimated 10,000 Christian and at least 6,000 Druze deaths. This conflict prompted international intervention and led to the establishment of the Mutasarrifate of Mount Lebanon under Ottoman rule in 1861, where a Christian governor was appointed to ensure sectarian balance. Ottoman Rule and Sectarian Tensions: Under Ottoman control, Lebanon was part of a larger Syrian province. Sectarian tensions between different religious groups, particularly between Maronite Christians and Druze, were a constant undercurrent. These tensions were often exacerbated by local leadership disputes and external influences from the Ottoman authorities. Despite the best efforts of the mandate, the problem was basically certain groups prioritisng their interests over national interest, just as this group does everywhere once it has the critical mass to do so.

Indeed, just give the money to politicians and they will distribute it in such a way as to fix things, our own Milibrand being a case in point.

Gabby Hinsliff? She's one to be taken seriously isn't she? 🤣 Was it her who defended the mass sexual assaults on New Years Eve in Germany a few years ago after the Guardian tried to be silent about it for about four days.? Who cares what academics who use the word Islamophobia think. Just look at some of the posts above yours. Islamophobia is a political construct used to shut down criticism of Islam and thus the Left wing politicians who pander to it for their vote. I did a Science degree, including use of statistics in data samples. My lecturers spent three years telling us NOT to trust the science. You might buy the propaganda dressed up as "intellectual thought", but many of us don't.

I think we had eight years after which it became irreversible about, why gosh, 8 years ago. The only solution was Socialism apparently.

See you and raise you. De facto Islamic control in an area of Sydney (source: NOT the Guardian etc).

There was footage online of public beheadings* by ISIS once they took over an area. Basically they were going to eliminate the existing power structure so they did it via mass public beheadings to cower and subdue the population. *hand choppings too. Tell me once more of this Islamophobia.

False declarations to seek asylum. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14185169/Four-asylum-seekers-costing-taxpayer-estimated-160-000-year-living-575-000-luxury-home-accused-faking-Afghan-nationalities-UK.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=social-twitter_mailonline

Likewise the Balkans, it became more than an extreme minority doing the beheadings.

The big difference is that we could control direct immigration from Asia and Africa if we had the will, but not when they had been given EU passports by Merkel and the other Kalergi prize aspirants.

Can you give us some examples? He just seems to be talking sense in the article and everywhere else I have seen him write or speak. Who are the "cheap seats"?

Wonder how he did this? Sleigh of hand with a real one? Gold shop owners look for the hallmarks of a handful of big producers and most/all?won't deal in gold that doesn't originate from them.

Yes of course that'll be it, Islamophobia. An irrational fear of a totalitarian ideology that some have estimated to have killed 250 million people and seeks to impose The Sharia on countries. You are always going on about Nazis but give Islam a free pass. Why is that? Non believers have the choice between converting, paying the Jizia or being killed. But of course the so called moderate Muslims we have in Western countries would never do that.

It was clear after he bought the first election that Thaksin's attitude was as if he had acquired a company in a takeover and it was now his to do as he pleased with. He thought Thailand was his personal Fiefdom.

Information from Israel is completely trustworthy though? It's just the one side using propaganda, right?

OK, got it, Israel is not using propaganda.

It's not. Extension has to be in the province you were living in at the time of the application. It can be made "legal" by "moving" to Korat from Pattaya via a TM30 filed for the Korat address.
