THERE HAS BEEN NO GREATER THREAT TO AMERICA THAN JOE BIDEN UNLESS YOU FACTOR IN BARACK OBAMA!
Marlow: The Corporate Media and Big Tech Interfered in the 2020 Election, and ‘Breaking the News’ Provides Undeniable Proof
Before a single vote was cast, the 2020 election was baked into the cake. America’s political and media establishment were not going to let what happened to them in 2016 happen again.
Don’t take my word for it. TIME Magazine published an article in February of 2021 called “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election” which describes a vast effort by a network of partisan political operatives, union leaders, and business titans to create a mail ballot “revolution” to oust Trump.
This is, quite literally, a plan hatched by a highly motivated and well-funded few to undermine American democracy as we know it.
Yet, it is not well understood exactly what the American left did and how they pulled it off, and scarier still, how much of it is still legal to this day.
And, oh yes, they are going to use the same playbook again in 2024.
Telling the true story of the 2020 election was one of the most critical sections of my New York Times bestselling book Breaking the News, which was re-released this week (with new material) for the 2024 election year.
In the aftermath of the 2020 election, Trump supporters distracted themselves with far-fetched conspiracy and other unprovable theories that voting systems (allegedly developed by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, or owned by Communist China, or serviced by a company called Dominion) flipped the exact number of votes necessary to beat Trump. All of that was a non-sensical waste of time.
Yet, the election was manipulated in two critical ways: First, the government dishonestly used the coronavirus pandemic to make wholesale changes to our voting rules that made it easier for Democrats to amass ballots; and second, the establishment media combined with the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe swamped the public with misinformation and impaired voter’s access to true information, leaving them distracted and misinformed. Together, this is what delivered the election for Joe Biden.
I cover each of the two major manipulations extensively in Breaking the News, but I will share some crucial details here.
Cheat by Mail
In Breaking the News, I list a number of statistical anomalies surrounding Joe Biden’s victory against Donald Trump. Aside from getting a record number of votes for an incumbent president, Donald Trump also saw his support rise with blacks and Hispanics; he won the traditional bellwether states of Iowa, Ohio, and Florida (all by greater margins than the polls predicted); and he won a stunning 83 percent of American counties. The list goes on.
So, how did he lose?
The answer is what became know as “cheat by mail,” and there is no individual who was a bigger part of this plot than Mark Zuckerberg. (More on his role momentarily).

Widespread mail voting surged in the 2020 race. According to Pew, for the 37 states (and the District of Columbia) where data is available, mail-in ballots accounted for over half of all primary votes cast. This number surged ostensibly so that people would stay safe from COVID, but it’s obvious that the main purpose of the mail-in ballots was to put Democrats at a massive political advantage.
Ballotpedia approximated that about 40 states made changes for the 2020 general election in response to the coronavirus pandemic. That chaos allowed Democrats to bag more votes.
Ballot Harvesting
“In the end, nearly half the electorate cast ballots by mail in 2020, practically a revolution in how people vote. About a quarter voted early in person,” according to TIME Magazine. “[And] only a quarter of voters cast their ballots the traditional way: in person on Election Day.”
It is much easier to turn in a less-than-legal ballot than it is to over-turn one.
With new voting “drop boxes” in place (more on those later), the Democrats were practically invited to “ballot harvest.” Ballot harvesting is when a third party (read: political operatives) is allowed to handle your vote (i.e., collect your ballot and turn it in for you). This comes with a number of major pitfalls. With mail-in voting there is, naturally, no on-site monitoring. This means that intimidation, coercion, forgeries, or even bribery can take place without anyone ever knowing about it.
Activists can easily approach low-civic-engagement voters, convince them to vote for Democrats, and then turn in their ballots with the public being none the wiser.
Politically speaking, widespread ballot harvesting is more likely to favor Democrats, who have vast, well-funded networks of “community organizers,” people who are paid to make ballots get turned in. Though rules vary from state to state, take California for example, where there is no limit to how many ballots a harvester can collect. In fact, there no way to learn anything about who the harvesters are, who is paying them, or how prolific they are.

While ballot harvesting may be legal in some areas of the country, it is clearly not in the spirit of free and fair elections. In fact, it’s almost impossible to ascertain how widespread the tactic is being used. Considering that Joe Biden got more than 15 million votes in 2020 than Barack Obama got in 2012, and given the sheer volume of mail-in votes turned in, it would be shocking if the Democrat’s ballot harvesting machine was not a major explanation for these massive gains.
It should go without saying that the more people who handle your ballots, the more opportunity there is for fraud.
Yet, there are people who even now advocate for loosening restrictions on who can access your ballot, which is a blatant invitation for coercion and other unethical activity.
In America, we call these people Democrats.
COVID Fake News Leads to Real Votes
Allegedly due to the coronavirus pandemic, a Michigan judge ruled that postmarked mail-in ballots can be accepted for two weeks after election day. North Carolina accepted ballots for nine days past the November 3 election. Wisconsin allowed an extra six days to stuff letter boxes with ballots and then count the vote. When Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court said that mail-in ballots could be counted for three days after the election, I began to inform loved ones that I was of the opinion that Trump was probably going to the lose the count.
Cheat-by-mail was going to be the difference.

Most states have different rules about postmarks and signatures, making the fog of war intense around election day. Wisconsin doesn’t even appear to require a postmark at all! Pennsylvania’s new voting rules also didn’t require evidence the ballot was postmarked on time.
Most, if not all, of the problems with mail-in balloting are still with us and will remain that way through this year’s election. In Breaking the News, I offer up what I believe are necessary solutions and mitigation strategies for our new low-integrity era of elections. It starts with restoring the rules to their pre-pandemic norms and enforcing voter-ID laws that include a picture and a signature, among several other examples.
But first thing is first: Republicans must find a way to win enough elections to get any reforms implemented before the Democrats create a permanent majority.
Tech Manipulation
After Donald Trump and conservative media – especially Breitbart News – dominated social media in the run-up to the 2016 election, the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe vowed that their platforms would not ever again be used against their broader globalist ambitions. Twitter, as just one prominent example, colluded with the deep state on a censorship campaign to minimize political damage inflicted on Democrats from Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell.
Even Wikipedia editors labeled the New York Post’s initial Laptop from Hell stories as debunked.
At one point or another, Donald Trump was banned or restricted by Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Shopify, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Google, and most famously, from his beloved and powerful Twitter page.
But this is only part of the story.

Of all the wild corruption by and on Twitter and Facebook, Google’s role in manipulating the election got far less attention than it deserved. Here are a few noteworthy details:
As reported exclusively by Breitbart News, Google Vice President Kent Walker stated in a tearful all-hands company meeting just after the 2016 election that the company intended to make populism and nationalism a “blip” or a “hiccup” in the march toward “progress.” They certainly backed that up.
Search engine expert (and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden voter) Dr. Robert Epstein, the senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, said that he believed Google shifted a full six million votes or more in the 2020 election toward Joe Biden. The real number might be closer to 15 million, he says.

“We also found what seems to be a smoking gun,” Epstein told Tucker Carlson. “We found a period of days when the vote reminder on Google’s homepage was being sent only to liberals—not one of our conservative field agents received a vote reminder during those days.” Epstein had hundreds of field agents deployed across battleground states collecting hundreds of thousands of data points.
This is one of several tactics apparently deployed by Google to swing votes.
We at Breitbart experienced Google’s manipulation first-hand. Google began purging Breitbart’s content from search results starting right after the 2016 election. Our search visibility in July 2020 versus 2016 was down 99.7 percent. That means the likelihood that you find a Breitbart article when doing a routine Google search without the word “Breitbart” in the search term is almost zero. Google, nonetheless, emphatically denies that there is political bias in their search engines.
On May 5, 2020, Google killed all of Breitbart’s traffic on stories about Joe Biden. We went from tens of thousands of impressions on searches for “Joe Biden” to literally zero. Google simply flipped a switch and turned off the search traffic.

A search engine expert with decades of experience in the industry told us that he’s never seen anything like this: “The sheer fact that there are thousands of pages of Breitbart content that reference Biden that were ranking before May 6, that now have no rank or impressions on search is a sign of manipulation, not algorithmic devaluing.” Mind you, none of these stories were false, but rather, they were deemed to be damaging to Biden’s election prospects.
Or just call it what it really is: trying to gain control over our electorate.
Facebook has tried numerous tactics to suppress the reach of conservative pages. They ban, “deboost,” and censor content that pushes narratives unfavorable to the Democratic Party. They even, at one time, maintained a “hate agents” list that was (is?) loaded with conservative and anti-establishment accounts. They launched an oversight board, colloquially known as the “Facebook Supreme Court,” ahead of the 2020 election. Naturally, they staffed it with assorted leftists, including a member of George Soros’s Open Society network.
Facebook actually beat Google to the punch in terms of suppressing Breitbart. After a 2017 study by Yochai Benkler, a professor at Harvard Law School, showed that Breitbart dominated the right-wing media sphere in the 2016 election, we saw our reach on Facebook begin to diminish.
At Breitbart, we do nothing if not persevere; so these days, we are often found at or near the top of Facebook’s publisher rankings, but we are getting a relatively big slice of a tinier pie.
Zuckerberg and company turned down the volumes on our megaphones since Joe Biden’s election, assuring that the president’s infinite number of embarrassing moments and policy failures would never go viral. It is far, far more difficult to get political content to trend in 2024 vs. past election years, and that is Facebook’s design. As it became clear that the free exchange of ideas and robust debate did not help them achieve their political goals of protecting Democrats, it was time to limit those types discussions on the platform.
The logic is clear: Facebook executives are often a part of Joe Biden’s inner circle. Jeff Zients, a former Facebook board member, was Biden’s COVID czar. Erskine Bowles, another former Facebook board member, advised the transition. Jessica Hertz, formerly a government affairs executive at Facebook, served as the Biden transition team’s general counsel.

(Facebook is not alone in this regard. There appears to be a revolving door between Google and Biden world. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, for example, has ties to both Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. Microsoft was the original partner of NewsGuard, which is another tool the globalist left is using to interfere in elections by destroying conservative publishers by demonetizing them. Much more on this theme can be found in Breaking the News.)
The list goes on.
It is well known that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s soft-money contributions to Joe Biden go far beyond what he did online. He infamously pumped in hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for “safe” election administration, ostensibly to protect the world from COVID. The centerpiece of the effort were COVID-safe “drop boxes.” These were bins that look like aluminum public trash cans, strewn throughout the country, largely unprotected and unguarded, mostly in precincts that favor Democrats, particularly ones that were likely to have close races and where it was most crucial for Biden to turn out votes.
These boxes were the crown Jewel of the Cheat by Mail operation.
Zuckerberg claimed he was trying to keep people safe while he was carrying out an attack on democracy.
Tech Titans Triumph
Taken altogether, I believe the Masters of the Universe were the single biggest deciding factor in the 2020 election. Between the constant manipulation of their platforms to benefit Joe Biden and Mark Zuckerberg’s last minute cash dump in certain districts favoring Democrats, I the evidence supports the claim.
I remind readers of this now in 2024 for one simple reason: most of these tactics appear to be legal and are still in place for this election year.

It needs to be a top priority for President Trump, should he win this election, to crack down on the Big Tech oligarchy to ensure that free and fair elections are restored in this country.
But the first order of business is that he and other strong conservatives have to win this time. And given the level of interference that will occur, he’s going to need to win by a lot.
Consider this a warning. Unfortunately, it’s a similar warning to the one we gave voters in the run up to 2020. Hopefully it won’t be necessary to repeat it ever again.

Co-Founder of Google’s DeepMind on the Future of Jobs: AI Systems Are ‘Labor Replacing Tools’
Mustafa Suleyman, the co-founder of Google’s AI powerhouse DeepMind, has voiced concerns about the long-term impact of artificial intelligence on labor markets, highlighting its potential to replace human labor.
Fortune reports that Mustafa Suleyman, a notable figure in the AI industry and co-founder of the AI firm DeepMind, recently shared his views on the future implications of AI, particularly its effect on the labor market. Suleyman, who founded DeepMind in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg and later sold it to Google for £400 million in 2014, spoke at the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland.

Suleyman highlighted two primary ways AI could transform businesses: by making operations more efficient, leading to significant cost savings but often at the expense of human jobs, and by enabling the creation of entirely new operations and processes, which could potentially lead to job creation. However, he cautioned that these changes would significantly disrupt the labor market in the coming years, with the long-term impact remaining uncertain.
“In the long term…we have to think very hard about how we integrate these tools, because left completely to the market and to their own devices, these are fundamentally labor replacing tools,” Suleyman told CNBC.
The debate over AI’s role in the job market is not new. Some experts, like Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne, have raised alarms with studies suggesting a high risk of job automation. For instance, their 2013 study estimated that 47 percent of US jobs might be automated by the mid-2030s. Conversely, other studies, like a 2022 report from the United Nations’ International Labor Organization, have suggested that AI will more likely complement human workers than replace them.
Suleyman also commented on the issue of “hallucinations” in generative AI systems, where AI exaggerates or fabricates facts, which poses additional challenges. This aligns with concerns raised by other experts, like MIT professor Daron Acemoglu, who predicted a mixed impact of AI in 2024, with potential job losses but without significant productivity improvements.
“Generative AI is an impressive technology, and it provides tremendous opportunities for improving productivity in a number of tasks. But because the hype has gone so far ahead of reality, the setbacks of the technology in 2024 will be more memorable,” Acemoglu wrote.
Suleyman highlighted the transformative potential of AI but cautioned against overly optimistic short-term expectations for productivity gains. He stressed the need for thoughtful integration of AI tools into the economy, considering their labor-replacing capabilities and the broader implications for society.

The commonplace B-1 fraud is disguised amid the churning population of 1.5 million-plus foreign graduates who are working in the United States under a wide variety of legal visas.
Those temporary work visas include H-1Bs, TNs, L-1s, J-1s, and the “Optional Practical Training” work permit for foreign graduates of U.S. colleges. The legal visa workers often switch workplaces because they are employed by Indian-owned subcontractors, and often go home to avoid an obvious overstay of their temporary visas.
WHY NOT LAY OFF INDIANS FIRST? AMERICAN BORN WORKERS LAST???
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has not yet addressed these layoffs internally, and information about employment status has been distributed on a team-by-team basis. The messaging around these layoffs emphasizes flattening the organization, speeding up decision-making, and increasing efficiency, however, a veteran manager commented: “Everyone at Google understands that these [cuts] are coming from the top. There’s no way this was the decision of a few disconnected orgs in isolation.”
Analysis conducted last year reveal that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers.

By failures of border security, a lack of the enforcement of our immigration laws from within the interior of the United States and huge numbers of visas for high tech workers, the lives and livelihoods of Americans and their children, are being stolen by America’s corrupt political elite who are doing the bidding of those who provide them with huge “Campaign Contributions” (Orwellian euphemism for bribes) pursue legislation that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of America and Americans.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai Announces Further Job Cuts to Achieve ‘Ambitious Goals’
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has announced further job cuts as part of the company’s strategy to meet “ambitious goals” in the coming year. Another chunk of the company’s notoriously leftist employee population will soon be looking for new jobs.
CNBC reports that in an internal memo addressed to employees, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, revealed plans for additional job reductions in 2024. This announcement aligns with the company’s strategic shift towards investment in key areas, particularly artificial intelligence. Pichai emphasized the necessity of making “tough choices” to facilitate these investments. The memo, titled “2024 priorities and the year ahead,” detailed Google’s plan for the new year.

Breitbart News recently reported on layoffs already announced by Google, which occurred before Pichai’s memo was sent out:
Google recently announced layoffs in some of its key divisions as part of its workforce strategy. The affected departments include the Voice Assistant unit; the hardware team responsible for Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit devices; and the augmented reality (AR) team. This move comes shortly after Google’s acquisition of Fitbit for $2.1 billion in 2021, which was a significant investment in the wearable technology sector. Despite this acquisition, Google has continued to develop and release new versions of its Pixel Watch, a product that directly competes with Fitbit’s offerings and the Apple Watch.
Google initiated several changes throughout the second half of 2023 to improve efficiency, streamline its operations, and realign resources. This restructuring involved eliminating roles across different teams globally. While the exact number of affected roles has not been announced, the impact is being felt amongst employees, as Alphabet has a reported global workforce of 182,381 as of September 2023.
The Alphabet Workers Union commented on the layoffs, calling them “needless” and promising to continue to fight the company “until our jobs are safe!”
The decision for further job cuts follows a series of layoffs that began in January 2023, when Google announced the elimination of 12,000 jobs, accounting for approximately 6 percent of its full-time workforce. These reductions also included cutbacks in perks, laptops, and equipment. “The reality is that to create the capacity for this investment, we have to make tough choices,” Pichai wrote. He said that this will mean terminating some roles from certain teams and “removing layers to simplify execution and drive velocity.”
In addition to the layoffs, Pichai confirmed that the downsizing would not be as extensive as the previous year’s and would not affect every team. Despite these cutbacks, Google’s financial performance remains strong. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, saw a 58 percent increase in its shares last year, improved by a resurgence in tech stocks and excitement about advancements in artificial intelligence. This upturn followed a challenging 2022 and was aided by double-digit revenue growth in the third quarter and a rebound in the digital advertising market.

Pink Slips Flying: Latest Google Layoffs Mark
the Beginning of Extensive Changes
Google’s recent round of layoffs, including the sudden cut of over 1,000 employees last week, marks a continuing trend of unease and restructuring within the tech giant.
The Verge reports that Google has continued its trend of layoffs, which began a year ago with 12,000 employees being let go. This latest round has been described as “extremely impersonal” by a long-serving engineering director, reflecting a dramatic shift in Google’s culture.
Breitbart News reported on Google’s recent layoffs last week:

The internal response to these layoffs from employees has been marked by a mix of resignation and cynicism, as evidenced by a popular post on Google’s internal meme board, Memegen, sarcastically thanking the “corporate overlords” for what seems like a new annual tradition.
This latest wave of layoffs has affected various teams, including the Maps/Geo, shopping ads, product, and trust and safety teams. Notably, Spyro Karetsos, Google’s chief compliance officer, has departed, with Danielle Romain taking over the role. Additionally, there have been strategic restructurings, such as the Devices and Services group adopting a functional organizational structure and the closure of the AR hardware team, indicating a shift in focus within the company.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has not yet addressed these layoffs internally, and information about employment status has been distributed on a team-by-team basis.

There’s no way this was the decision of a few disconnected orgs in isolation.”
Despite these cuts, significant numbers are still employed in areas like Google Cloud and the ad sales group, which are seen as potential targets for future layoffs. Additionally, there is speculation of a larger-than-normal wave of departures in the spring, linked to Google’s annual performance review cycle and changes in the HR department’s policies.

Big Tech's Optional Practical Training Program Betrays Young and Old

SILICON VALLEY IS NOW INDIA EAST!
IT'S NOT JUST HIGH TECH JOBS THEY GET. IT'S ALL BANKS, INCLUDING WELLS FAROG AND BANK OF AMERICAN, WHICH ONLY HIRES INDIANS.
And these Indians, the team that I work with, they cannot even speak a single sentence in English without making any mistakes.
“The B-1 visa is the main vehicle to cheat American [college graduates] out of jobs,” said Jay Palmer, an expert on forced labor and human trafficking, and a former advisor to President Donald Trump. He continued:
Lawsuit Exposes B-1 Visa Fraud in College-Grad Jobs

10:43
American professional Michael Harmon has just earned about $1 million by exposing visa fraud within an Indian company that does subcontract work for Fortune 500 companies.
The company defrauded the government by importing Indian college-graduate workers on B-1 visas that are only for non-working business visitors. Harmon exposed the visa fraud and earned a share of the $9.9 million federal fine with his Qui Tam lawsuit.
The Department of Justice said:
L&T Technology Services, LTD (“LTTS”), a company based in India, with U.S. offices in Edison New Jersey, has agreed to pay $9,928,000 to resolve allegations that between 2014 and 2019, LTTS underpaid visa fees owed to the United States by acquiring inexpensive B-1 visas, rather than more expensive H-1B visas, in alleged violation of the False Claims Act.
“The B-1 visa is the main vehicle to cheat American [college graduates] out of jobs,” said Jay Palmer, an expert on forced labor and human trafficking, and a former advisor to President Donald Trump. He continued:
Companies encourage [foreign] individuals to get a B-1 visa to come to the United States and work. They work these workers on 1099s [as contractors] with no benefits and they pay them through third-party consulting companies. Sometimes, the worker will be able to get an Individual Tax Identification Number and work undetectably for 10 years.
The fraud behind this visa is more rampant than any other visa we have in the United States.
Palmer applauded Harmon the whistleblower, saying, “Being a whistleblower is not an easy task — you have to have intestinal fortitude.”
Several other B-1 qui tam lawsuits are being litigated.
Palmer is familiar with the B-1 fraud because he works with many Indians who have overstayed their visas and are looking for ways to get legal status.
The B-1 fraud is easy to accomplish and rarely detected or penalized by federal agencies, Palmer said:
All you have to do is have an outbound and a return flight to the United States –that’s all. What they do is they get an outbound flight [to the United States]… and they cancel their return, get the money and go to work.
They’re coming over here legally but becoming illegal [by working]. When they’re over here, they’re getting driver’s licenses, some are even getting Social Security numbers … they’re not supposed to, but they’re still issued.
They come to the United States and they never leave. Most people working in a convenience store are over here on B-1 visas [often working for foreign managers with E-2 visas]. Hundreds of thousands are working on white-collar jobs.
The fraud is difficult for ordinary Americans to detect — even when it is happening in the next cubicle.
The commonplace B-1 fraud is disguised amid the churning population of 1.5 million-plus foreign graduates who are working in the United States under a wide variety of legal visas.
Those temporary work visas include H-1Bs, TNs, L-1s, J-1s, and the “Optional Practical Training” work permit for foreign graduates of U.S. colleges. The legal visa workers often switch workplaces because they are employed by Indian-owned subcontractors, and often go home to avoid an obvious overstay of their temporary visas.
The B-1 fraud problem is further hidden by foreign graduates who overstay their visas to become illegal gig workers in the layers of subcontractors under Fortune 500 companies.
The huge flood of foreign college graduates is forcing down the workplace clout and the salaries of American professionals because the foreign workers will accept very low salaries to stay in the United States. In February, Bloomberg News reported:
In 2022, median annual pay was $52,000 for Americans with a bachelor’s degree, according to data released by the New York Federal Reserve Friday. That’s a 7.4% decline in inflation-adjusted terms — the steepest plunge since 2004, erasing nearly all of the pandemic-era gains. It was sharpest for those earning the most.
The government-delivered inflow of foreign workers is pushing many Americans out of white-collar technology jobs and into lower-wage, blue-collar jobs.
“I have seen the [hiring] system in the backend, and it is so appalling to see that there is so much [resume] forgery being done, there’s so much of corruption being done, that it is almost to the level back in India,” Aabha, an Indian contract worker in North Carolina, told Breitbart News. She continued:
I have met so many [American] people who are graduates and so much more knowledgeable than the Indians that I see in my regular day — and they are [saying] like “Okay, because we are not experienced, we are not getting [U.S. technology] jobs.” So they decide to do a blue collar job. They’re walking into Walmart, they’re walking into Best Buy.
And these Indians, the team that I work with, they cannot even speak a single sentence in English without making any mistakes.
Yet President Joe Biden’s officials are trying to import as many foreign workers as they can, even as Fortune 500 companies fire thousands of American professionals.
“The top 30 H-1B employers hired 34,000 new H-1B workers in 2022 and laid off at least 85,000 workers in 2022 and early 2023,” said an April 11 report by the left-wing Economic Policy Institute (EPI).
Those layoffs include many visa workers, who are required by law to return home once their job disappears.
In response, Biden’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency is allowing the laid-off H-1B visa workers to get six-month B-1 visas so they have more time to win new jobs that are also being sought by U.S. graduates.
“[We are] aware, of course, of the many recent layoffs in the technology sector, [so] we published options and useful information for [foreign] employees across the country facing termination and those in this vulnerable situation,” said USCIS director Ur Jaddou said April 11.
“Searching for employment in the United States does not fall under the meaning of a legitimate business activity for the purpose of B-1 visa eligibility,” responded Elizabeth Jacobs, a lawyer with the Center for Immigration Studies.
Very few of the illegally-working B-1 graduates are deported, mostly because of Silicon Valley’s huge influence in the White House and in both parties. This week, for example, Indian media outlets reported that four House members from California are pressuring USCIS to ensure that laid-off Indian workers are not sent home. The legislators are Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Ro Khanna, Jimmy Panetta, and Kevin Mullin.
The Democrats’ support for foreign workers over their own swing-voting, college-educated voters could be an opportunity for GOP strategists. But GOP leaders show no willingness to reject the cheap-labor demands of their own business donors.
Biden’s federal agencies also make the white-collar fraud easier by bundling B-2 tourist visas with the B-1 visitor visas, Palmer said. “They should separate these and charge more for them,” he said.
“The United States issued over 16 million of these [B-1/B-2 visas] a year and they’re nontraceable, basically — this is the same visa that some of the 9/11 terrorists came in on,” Palmer added.
Breitbart has covered some of the many cases of B-1 fraud within the Fortune 500’s pyramids of Indian-managed subcontracting companies and gig workers.
In 2013, another Indian firm paid a fine of $33 million for cheating the government as it allegedly replaced American hires with smuggled Indian college graduates. But most of the B-1 fraud is tolerated by agencies, prosecutors, and politicians. In 2019, Breitbart News reported;
Infosys, one of the biggest Indian outsourcing companies, allegedly cheated 500 American graduates out of jobs over 11 years from 2006 to 2017 — and will only have to pay $800,000, without admitting guilt, in a settlement with California’s attorney general.
The attorney general, Xavier Becerra, now runs the Department of Health and Human Services for President Joe Biden.
However, under President Donald Trump, the reform-minded officials in the agencies began to crack down on the B-1 fraud. “They tried but it didn’t work,” Palmer said.
Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.
The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.
The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because it allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.
In many speeches, immigration chief Alejandro Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats

Report: Facebook to Cut Thousands of Jobs in Latest Corporate Downsizing
February 22, 2023
(Reuters)—Facebook-parent Meta Platforms Inc is planning a fresh round of job cuts in a reorganization and downsizing effort that could affect thousands of workers, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Last year, the social media giant said it will let go of 13% of its workforce, or more than 11,000 employees, as it grappled with soaring costs and a weak advertising market.
Meta plans to push some leaders into lower-level roles without direct reports, flattening the layers of management between top boss Mark Zuckerberg and the company's interns, the Washington Post reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Analysis conducted last year reveal that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers.
Despite his Wall Street, big business, Big Tech, and billionaire donations, Biden has attempted to portray himself as a small-town fighter from Scranton, Pennsylvania
By failures of border security, a lack of the enforcement of our immigration laws from within the interior of the United States and huge numbers of visas for high tech workers, the lives and livelihoods of Americans and their children, are being stolen by America’s corrupt political elite who are doing the bidding of those who provide them with huge “Campaign Contributions” (Orwellian euphemism for bribes) pursue legislation that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of America and Americans.

Zuckerberg’s FWD.us Claims No Amnesty Ensures Midterm Defeat for Democrats
The Facebook-funded FWD.us investor advocacy group is touting the claim that Democrat turnout will drop in 2022 if the party cannot pass an amnesty through Congress.
But that claim is toothless, in large part because recent polls show that many Americans of Latino ancestry are increasingly voting for the GOP, precisely because GOP leaders oppose the amnesty-amplified wave of cheap labor into their communities.
The claim is being made by pro-migration groups, including the leaders of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) which denounced the Senate’s parliamentarian’s decision to exclude the parole amnesty for 6.5 million illegals from the draft Build Back Better spending plan.
NDLON declared Thursday night:
Democrats’ excuses for their failure, for their incompetence, and for their insincerity will be the ammunition used by xenophobes in the Republican Party to retake control of the federal government in upcoming elections. Inaction on immigration legalization risks further propelling Trumpism in every possible way … No more excuses. Where there is a will, there is a way.
The NDLON group represents illegal migrants, most of whom work for very low wages, and none of whom can vote in U.S. elections.
Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) is making the same claim, according to Bloomberg, which reported that he “warned that Democrats would face wrath from voters in the 2022 elections if they don’t secure a citizenship path”
But the NDLON claim is being echoed by the politically powerful investor class, who use imported workers, consumers, and renters to spike the value of their Wall Street investments.
Todd Schulte is the president of the FWD.us advocacy group for investors, which gets about $30 million a year from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to push for more migration. On Thursday night, he tweeted:
Schulte’s deputy also pushed a hard line:
Unsurprisingly, FWD.us has a hidden agenda in the amnesty debate.
The establishment media extensively cover the proposed parole amnesty for 6.5 million illegal migrants. But the media largely ignores two other proposed changes to immigration laws that would deliver huge benefits to West Coast investors who created the FWD.us advocacy group in 2013.
For example, the BBB legislation would allow the White House to provide green cards to millions of favored migrants, including perhaps three million “chain migrants” selected by recent immigrants. This open-doors policy would provide investors with millions of new profit-generating consumers, renters, and workers.
The BBB legislation would also allow President Joe Biden’s pro-migration deputies to sell green cards to at least one million migrants who have taken many of the Fortune 500 jobs sought by skilled U.S. college graduates. This change would allow Fortune 500 companies to hire many more foreign graduates with dangled offers of fast-track green cards. These workers are usually imported via the visa worker programs, such as the H-1B and Optional Practical Training program.
But those two benefits for the Fortune 500 investors may be dropped if the Democrat senators cannot also get their amnesty for illegal migrants.
On Friday, an advocacy group for corporate-funded immigration lawyers urged Congress to keep pushing the green card giveaway, even after the amnesty was nixed:
“The corporate guys are riding on perceived sympathy for the illegal alien population in order to get their immigration giveaways,” said Robert Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued:
The Hispanic population knows immigration is a pocketbook issue for them as well, and mass illegal immigration — plus legal immigration — hurts the economic opportunities of Hispanic Americans or the black community, or any people who typically are competing at the lower end of the economic spectrum.
The Senate’s debate referee has not issued any judgments on the two green card proposals.
Zuckerberg’s FWD.us network of coastal investors stands to gain from more cheap labor, government-aided consumers, and urban renters. The network has funded many astroturf campaigns, urged Democrats to not talk about the economic impact of migration, and manipulated coverage by the TV networks and the print media.
FWD.us’also spotlights many family dramas amid the inflow of border migrants. This focus helps keep reporters from recognizing the huge pocketbook impact of the establishment’s economic policy of mass migration. The resulting family-drama coverage also keeps many young progressives from noticing that the extraction migration policy drives up their rents and cuts their salaries.
The breadth of investors who founded and funded FWD.us was hidden from casual visitors to the group’s website sometime in the last few months. But copies exist at other sites.
Biden’s Chief of Staff Worked on Behalf of Big Tech for Endless H-1B Visas
Democrat Joe Biden has chosen Ronald Klain to be his chief of staff should he enter the White House in January. Klain worked on behalf of Silicon Valley executives and their interests, which include providing tech corporations with an endless supply of H-1B foreign visa workers and more free trade.
Klain, who was made Biden’s incoming chief of staff this week, served on the executive council of TechNet — a firm that promotes the interests of Silicon Valley’s tech corporations in Washington, D.C. Klain served on the council alongside executives from the Oracle Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Google, Visa, Apple, and Microsoft.
TechNet, most recently, joined a lawsuit against President Trump’s reforms to the H-1B visa program that sought to prioritize unemployed Americans for jobs rather than allowing businesses to continue importing foreign workers.

Trump’s seeking to force businesses to hire Americans over importing foreign visa workers is an affront to Silicon Valley’s tech corporations, those represented by TechNet, who advocate for an endless flow of H-1B foreign visa workers.
There are about 650,000 H-1B visa workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program.
Analysis conducted in 2018 discovered that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley, California, are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers. Up to 99 percent of H-1B visa workers imported by the top eight outsourcing firms are from India.
TechNet’s listed immigration goals include allowing corporations to dictate the annual level of legal immigration to the United States and the elimination of per-country caps that would effectively let India and China monopolize the U.S. green card system.
The group’s goals on trade are in direct opposition to President Trump’s economic nationalist agenda that has imposed tariffs on foreign imports from China, Canada, Europe, and other parts of the globe.
TechNet’s trade goals include reducing “tariff and non-tariff barriers to information, communications, and advanced energy technology products, services, and investments” as well as “protections for the free flow of data across borders…”
While Biden has vowed to flood the U.S. labor market with more foreign workers to compete against Americans for jobs, he has shied away from questions on whether he will eliminate tariffs on foreign imports that were imposed by Trump. Such elimination of tariffs would be a boon to multinational corporations that offshore their production and jobs overseas only to import their products back into the U.S. market, often with no penalties for doing so.

IMF Chief: AI Will Impact 60% of Jobs in Advanced Economies Like United States
AI is set to significantly transform the job landscape in advanced economies like the United States, affecting an estimated 60 percent of jobs, according to Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
France 24 reports that Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), recently predicted that Artificial Intelligence will significantly impact the job market in advanced economies. The IMF report suggests that approximately 60 percent of jobs in these economies are likely to be influenced by AI technologies. However, AI’s influence is not limited to advanced economies only; according to the IMF, AI will have a global impact, with varying degrees of influence across different economic areas.
WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 04: IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva speaks during a joint press conference with World Bank Group President David Malpass on the recent developments of the coronavirus, COVID-19, and the organizations’ responses on March 4, 2020 in Washington, DC.

“Advanced economies, some emerging markets, are going to see 60 percent of their jobs impacted, and then it goes down to 40 percent for emerging markets, 26 percent for low-income countries,” Georgieva detailed, highlighting how nearly 40 percent of jobs worldwide are at risk due to automation and AI integration.
Georgieva further explained that even jobs that are safe from being replaced by AI may face a major shift in how they’re performed: “Your job may disappear altogether — not good — or artificial intelligence may enhance your job so you actually will be more productive and your income level may go up.”
The IMF report also highlights specific challenges that emerging markets and developing economies face — while these regions are less affected initially by AI but also risk missing out on the potential benefits, potentially widening the existing digital and economic divides. This poses a significant concern for older workers who are more likely to be negatively affected by these technological shifts.
Georgieva emphasized the importance of policy intervention in response to the AI revolution, stating: “We must focus on helping low-income countries in particular to move faster to be able to catch the opportunities that artificial intelligence will present,.” Georgieva noted that many should get used to the possibility of AI influence, stating: “In other words, embrace it, it is coming. So artificial intelligence, yes, is a little scary. But it is also a tremendous opportunity for everyone.”
Dirty Jobs star Mike Rowe commented last year that AI is most likely to impact white collar workers. As Breitbart News previously reported, Rowe said “I’ve been hearing for years that robots are going to wreck blue-collar work. Turns out AI is coming for your white-collar job.”
Rowe added:
Rowe recently expressed his opinion during an interview on The Big Money Show that the growth of AI in the workplace will not jeopardize blue-collar jobs. He argued that these roles require particular skill sets that are difficult to replicate digitally. “People used to say that the robots are going to destroy skilled labor. Well, not really,” Rowe said. “I haven’t seen any plumbing robots. I haven’t seen any electrician robots. And I don’t think we’re going to see any artificial intelligence in the skilled trades to that degree.”
