"Being a democracy does not mean India has to have open borders." This piece in Organiser explains that foreign nationals hold no inalienable right to enter India. It says: "A visa is an administrative permission, which the competent authority may cancel in accordance with the law. On the one hand, there is freedom of the press and of expression, which is a fundamental right of Indian citizens under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. On the other, there is the regulation of a foreign national’s entry into and departure from India, which falls entirely under immigration law and the discretionary power of the executive. The issuing of a visa does not create a permanent or irrevocable right of entry. The right to reside and settle in India under Article 19 belongs only to Indian citizens. Foreign nationals cannot invoke Article 19(1)(a) or other freedoms to claim entry into, or permanent residence in, India. Press freedom does not create a right to enter another country, and that democratic openness does not require a nation to relinquish control of its borders. The cancellation of Helle Lyng’s visa is not an attack on press freedom. It is an exercise of the sovereign power of the Indian State, supported by the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025."

Investigate both Nvidia and the Commerce Department.
Reuters: A Chinese university with deep ties to the People's Liberation Army bought Nvidia’s powerful H200 AI chips last month despite being on a US export blacklist, procurement records show.

"The Japanese government is sounding out the United States on a meeting between Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and President Donald Trump next week, diplomatic sources said Thursday, ahead of possible talks among the U.S., Chinese and Russian leaders."

Whether Alice Huang was a Ministry of State Security agent or asset or not, @DavidSacks, reporting suggests her company diverted Nvidia chips to China. The FBI and CIA need to find out how China obtained the chips.
Bombshell story. The spy narrative is collapsing already.
Is there clear & convincing evidence that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy?
- AG says no. (“no conclusions reached”).
- CIA says no. (“not yet convinced”).
- DNI says no (“not entirely accurate and over-torqued”).
- Ranking Democrat on House Intelligence (incoming Chairman) says no. (“today, at least, I don’t know”). This was immediately after he was briefed.
Who argues otherwise? Anonymous officials tell CNN “it strains credulity to believe that she was not acting as an agent of the Chinese government — simply by virtue of the fact that she is a successful Chinese businesswoman working with one of America’s most powerful companies.”
This is their proof after a year of investigating and surveillance? That she was a “successful Chinese businesswoman”?
At this point, the only crime that we know for sure happened is the leaking of the classified memo. Who did that and why?
An investigation should be opened.

As confidence in Washington erodes, Thailand appears to be gravitating toward Beijing, which Thai leaders increasingly regard as a more stable and predictable partner. My latest piece for @ChinaGSProject explains.

🇯🇵🇺🇸 الأدميرال الياباني الذي حذّر من حرب مع أميركا: سأنتصر ستة أشهر، ثم ستسحقنا مصانعها!
عام 1919، وصل ضابط بحري ياباني شاب يُدعى إيسوروكو ياماموتو إلى الولايات المتحدة للدراسة في جامعة هارفارد. أمضى عامين هناك، ثم عاد لاحقاً ملحقاً بحرياً في واشنطن.
خلال إقامته، اكتشف أن القوة الأميركية الحقيقية لا تكمن في جيوشها وأساطيلها فحسب، بل في مصانع ديترويت للسيارات، ومصانع بيتسبرغ للفولاذ، وحقول النفط الممتدة في تكساس.
عاد إلى اليابان مقتنعاً بأن بلاده تستطيع الانتصار في معارك ضد أميركا، لكنها لن تستطيع الانتصار في حرب استنزاف طويلة أمام اقتصادها الصناعي الهائل.
عارض التحالف مع ألمانيا النازية وإيطاليا الفاشية، وحذّر من الحرب مع واشنطن، حتى تلقّى تهديدات بالقتل من قوميين يابانيين اتهموه بالخيانة.
وعندما سأله رئيس الوزراء الياباني عن فرص الانتصار، أجابه بعبارته الشهيرة:
«أستطيع تحقيق انتصارات متتالية خلال الأشهر الستة الأولى، وربما سنة كاملة. لكن إذا استمرت الحرب سنتين أو ثلاثاً، فلا أضمن النصر».
في 7 كانون الأول 1941، قاد التخطيط للهجوم على بيرل هاربر، وحققت اليابان انتصارات مذهلة.
لكن بعد ستة أشهر، في حزيران 1942، دمّرت البحرية الأميركية أربع حاملات طائرات يابانية في معركة ميدواي.
بدأت النبوءة تتحقق.
وفي نيسان 1943، أسقطت مقاتلات أميركية طائرة ياماموتو قصداً فوق جزر سليمان، فقُتل قبل أن يشهد هزيمة بلاده النهائية.
مأساة ياماموتو أنه أدرك حقيقة تجاهلتها قيادته: يمكن للشجاعة أن تكسب المعارك، لكن الاقتصاد والصناعة والقدرة على الاستمرار هي التي تكسب الحروب.

🚨«We cannot demand from 🇮🇳India or 🇨🇳China what they do or what they don't» — 🇪🇺EU Parliament MP Michael Gahler (in a grand revelation for European diplomats, no less)
When 🇪🇺MP Ondřej Distal asked if letting EU-imposed sanctions on the 🇷🇺Russian oil «benefit the Indians and the Chinese» is the «right strategy for Europe», he was hit with harsh truth:
«I'm not happy about this situation with India and China, but we cannot prevent it» — broke down Gahler
It's good to see that at least one EU official has become self-aware in 2026 & realised that the economies the size of India & China won't be lectured or dictated what to do by collective Europe

கள்ளக்குறிச்சி தவெக சட்டமன்ற உறுப்பினர் தொடர்பான விவகாரத்தில் தமிழக அரசு எதையோ மறைக்கிறதா என்ற கேள்வி எழுகிறது.
மாவட்ட ஆட்சியர் தலைமைச் செயலரிடம் புகார் அளித்தாரா, முதல்வர் அலுவலகத்திற்குப் புகார் சென்றதா, முதல்வர் சம்பந்தப்பட்ட சட்டமன்ற உறுப்பினரை அழைத்து எச்சரித்தாரா என்பவை பற்றி ஊடகங்களில் வெளியாகும் செய்திகள் உண்மையா, இல்லையா என்ற குழப்பம் நீடிக்கிறது.
இந்தச் சூழலில், மறைந்த கார்ட்டூனிஸ்ட் ஆர்.கே. லட்சுமணின் புகழ்பெற்ற கார்ட்டூன் ஒன்று நினைவுக்கு வருகிறது.
இதே குற்றச்சாட்டு, ஒரு சாமானியக் குடிமகன் மீது எழுந்திருந்தால், இந்த அரசாங்கம் இதே அளவு பொறுமையுடன், புகார் வந்ததா, வரவில்லையா என்று விவாதித்துக் கொண்டிருக்குமா? ஆளுங்கட்சியின் சட்டமன்ற உறுப்பினர்களுக்கு சட்டத்திற்கு அப்பாற்பட்ட அதிகாரம் வழங்கப்பட்டுள்ளதா?
தமிழகத்தில் சட்டத்தின் முன் அனைவரும் சமம் என்றால், அதைச் செயலிலும் நிரூபிக்க வேண்டிய பொறுப்பு முதல்வருக்கு இருக்கிறது. இந்த விவகாரத்தில் உண்மை என்ன என்பதைத் தமிழக அரசு வெளிப்படையாகத் தெளிவுபடுத்த வேண்டும்.

Nothing to see here, just the Muslim men following the footsteps of their loving prophet.
RIP to all the girls born in Muslim countries.
Coming to a European country near you.
Islam's ideas imposed by the Taliban simply don't work. It's impossible to have a modern economy when less than half the population can read. Not even all boys can read, and they're determined to make sure no future girls can. How are they supposed to do any improvements with that?
Not allowing women to work is also shooting themselves in the foot. They don't have enough intelligentsia or man power. It should be all hands on deck and if anything, NO ONE is allowed to not be working if they are able-bodied adults.
These people had 20 years to choose to come into modern times and as a whole they rejected it. It is their choice to follow Islam.

Trump is tiring of Vance’s indirect criticisms of his foreign policy, especially on the Iran war, and just ousted him entirely from it. No way Trump endoses him in 2028.

For years, I've been highlighting specific instances of wrong side driving. No action or knee-jerk photo-op responses. Enforcement is not a Zero Tolerance Day event but a regular process. Hope @ChennaiTraffic @chennaipolice_ takes it seriously. Please check C.P.Ramaswamy Road.
A child lost his life due to the wrong side riding by his father.
Every time I step out in Chennai, I count so many people riding two wheelers in the wrong side …
❌ often with their children
❌ father or mother or adult holding their phone to their ears
❌ no one wearing helmets
❌ at full speed and no hesitation
⛔️ and many times even on flyovers or bridges!
To me, this is just so shocking. How can they ride so fast in the wrong direction, facing heavy traffic, with no regard for their own life of that of the children?

Have never understood the debate culture of USA. What does a debate prove other than who is a more attractive personality and can speak better ? Yes , it gets TRPs for news channels. If debates were to decide, Shashi Tharoor would be Emperor of the World.
#WATCH | Hyderabad | Rahul Gandhi alleges PM Modi tapping his phone; Congress leader Supriya Shrinate says, "Rahul Gandhi as leader of the opposition has asked Prime Minister Modi to come for a debate. 73% people poll have said they want to see a debate between Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi... The reality is that Mr Modi is running away from a debate because he knows he will be left exposed if he comes, but by not coming for a debate, he is exposing himself further. He acts at the behest of America..."

Helle Lyng has appeared out of nowhere with a sudden bizarre interest in India. I find it all very suspicious. She writes for an unheard of paper in Norway, that is funded by the Norwegian government - and only does occasionally commentary pieces for them.

A Mystery Businessman Introduced Jensen Huang to His Paramour. It Was Her Husband.
The lengths the Chinese state went to secure NVIDIA GPUs shows its seriousness about frontier AI. The amount of agency it brought to bear, the no of ways it went to train its models and the $$ it paid to bring back Chinese talent even while working on both new GPUs by Huawei and new EUV equipment development is the kind of “firing on all cylinders” that serious super powers do.

O Secretário Marco Rubio acabou de JOGAR A BOMBA contra a Anistia Internacional, que ataca os EUA por "crimes de guerra" no Irã
"Vocês sabem no que eu acho que a Anistia Internacional deveria se concentrar? Num regime iraniano que ASS*SSINOU a sangue frio dezenas de MILHARES de pessoas nas ruas de Teerã e em outras partes do país!"
"No que a Anistia Internacional deveria se concentrar é em como o regime iraniano invade hospitais quando os manifestantes estão feridos e ASS*SSINA as pessoas em suas camas de hospital."
"E, a propósito, às vezes ass*ssina os médicos ou as enfermeiras que os trataram. Então eles deveriam se concentrar NELES!"
"ESSES são crimes de guerra. ESSES são crimes contra a humanidade. Esses crimes estão sendo cometidos contra o próprio povo deles!"
"A Anistia Internacional é uma FARSA!"
É só mais uma organização globalista que se aconchega com islamistas e ignora os VERDADEIROS crimes contra a humanidade. Marco está certíssimo
Esses grupos de "direitos humanos" ficam mudos quando um regime massacra seu próprio povo, e de repente encontram a voz quando a América revida!
Rubio disse o que milhões de iranianos vêm implorando ao mundo para reconhecer, e o que os AMERICANO SABEM
Assim como o TPI, vamos ignorar a "Anistia Internacional". Francamente, QUALQUER grupo que se rotule em torno de "anistia" deveria ser descartado como besteira

Tightening the noose slowly day by day
🚨 中国在168小时内刚刚采取了5项行动。全部围绕台湾。没有一项有名称。
而没有人把这些点联系起来。
行动1：100多艘中国军舰和海警船遍布西太平洋。
台湾11月3日表示，它们已经部署到位。
来自3个战区的4个特混编队横亘在台湾与关岛之间。
一道隔开台湾与其朋友的墙。
行动2：中国3艘航母中有2艘同时在海上。
辽宁舰编队位于菲律宾海。
最新的福建舰于11月2日驶离海南，向东航行。
第三艘山东舰于11月1日出坞，进行海试。
航母已经出动。
行动3：仅11月2日一天，中国军机就出动49架次。
其中36架次在台湾岛以南飞行。
天空也加入了海上的行动。
行动4：第二道、更近的包围圈。
至少6艘海警船，外加海军舰艇，环绕台湾本岛。
截至今天早上6点：10艘中国海军舰艇和3艘公务船。
包围圈仍然在那里。
行动5：没有宣布。没有名称。
北京为其最近4次围台大规模演习都起了名称。
ISW：这可能表明中国能够随心所欲地从空中和海上切断台湾与外界的联系。
在这一切之前：
巴基斯坦对所有台湾航空公司关闭了领空。
4艘中国科考船在连接台湾与世界的海底电缆上方停留或减速。
把这些点联系起来：
100多艘舰船 = 关岛之前的一道墙
2艘航母出动 = 外圈
49架次 = 天空中的包围圈
环岛舰船 = 内圈
没有名称 = 下一次没有任何预警
这不是混乱。
这是一场封锁演练。
一艘接一艘。
一圈接一圈。
无需入侵。
一场没有名称的演习就没有结束日期。
台湾每天早上公布新的舰船数量，而我发布动向。关注我，看下一道包围圈如何形成。
