🇺🇸🇰🇷 ICE crackdown at Hyundai-LG Georgia battery factory: Korean companies investing billions cannot get proper visas, are then criminalised for bringing skilled workers to fill gaps American labour cannot.

Sentiment is one of betrayal. The language in Korean media is visceral:

Chosun Ilbo: "Built tens of trillions [KRW] factories for America... to then get slapped as illegal immigrants."

News1: "Told us to invest, then treated us as illegal immigrants." This isn't about law, it's about perceived duplicity.

One of the core issues is that S. Korea has no country-reserved work visa. By contrast, Australia for instance gets E-3 (10,500/year) and Singapore/Chile get H-1B1 (5,400/1,400). Korea has neither, despite FTA status and massive investment commitments.

The Partner with Korea Act, which would in theory allow specialty visas, has been repeatedly introduced in Congress, but never passed. This is seen as a must to facilitate even more Korean investment in batteries, semiconductors, and other industries.

Then there's the cap on the highly competitive H-1B of 85,000 total (65k regular + 20k US master's). No per-country quotas. Processing takes months. Many construction trades don't qualify as "specialty occupations" requiring degrees.

Crackdown is clearly to increase American employment. Chosun Ilbo quotes a Korean construction official: "It's impossible to meet construction deadlines with only Americans. We have no choice but to urgently dispatch our technicians to solve problems."

Same source continues: "They tell us to invest but won't give visas for essential personnel, I don't know what they expect us to do." This basically encapsulates the impossible situation Korean companies say they are facing.

Chosun Ilbo describes finding qualified local workers as "like picking stars from the sky." News1 too notes that local workers simply cannot build semiconductor, battery, or shipbuilding factories.

This is all happening right after President Lee Jae Myung's meeting with Trump the other day and Korean firms pledging $150bn in US investments on top of the country's earlier pledge to invest $350bn.

🇪🇺❌🇷🇺🇨🇳 EU's Diplomacy Chief, Kaja Kallas, dismissed China and Russia's contribution to the defeat of the Axis Powers in WW2

"Russia turned to China and said: 'Russia and China fought in World War II, we won World War II, we defeated Nazism' and I thought: 'Okay, that's something new'. If you know history, it raises a lot of questions. Nowadays, people don't read much and don't remember history. It's clear that they believe these narratives,"

Kallas' remarks insulted Beijing who responded by saying:

"The statement made by the relevant EU official is full of ideological bias and lacks basic historical common sense, and blatantly stokes rivalry and confrontation. This is disrespectful to the history of WW2 and undermines the EU's own interests. It's preposterous and irresponsible."

📝: One of Ursula von der Leyen's goals after the reelection of Donald Trump was to make the European Union less dependent on the U.S. as the Europeans do not like the American president. Yet, the only thing ultraliberals like Kallas do is to isolate themselves further from the rest of the world and sink deeper into the clutches of the U.S.

Although they were close to doing so at the beginning of August, Ukrainian reinforcements and subsequent counterattacks managed to push back the Russians away from the city's neighbourhoods but the Russians recovered all lost ground and are now pushing further.

The Russians have fully captured the Lazurnoye and Kalinovska districts, the hamlet of Troyanda and are assaulting the Shakhtarskoye district.

🇱🇻 Latvia is considering introducing mandatory military conscription for women starting in 2028

Defense Minister Andris Spruds announced plans to expand the country's armed forces, which include a proposal to draft women into compulsory service. His party intends to present the plan to the government.

If approved, female conscription could begin as early as 2028. Mandatory service for men aged 18 to 27 was reinstated on January 1, 2024, in response to the war in Ukraine. Currently, women are allowed to serve in the Latvian army voluntarily.

The likelihood of the boat going to the United States as claimed by president Trump himself is very low due to the considerable distance between Venezuela and the United States and the perils such a journey carries.

📝: Trump and Rubio are twisting the narrative related to the destination of the "drug boat" to incite a response from Venezuela and justify an intervention and the toppling of Nicolas Maduro.

🇺🇸🇰🇷 ICE released video of Korean workers in Georgia’s Hyundai/ LG battery plant being rounded up.

At least 300 South Korean workers and engineers were detained and are going to be deported with the future of Hyundai's battery plant uncertain.

The South Korean government has condemned the arrests.

South Korea is a key U.S. ally not just because it is a key component of U.S. domination of the Pacific Ocean and East Asia but also because of the American reliance on South Korean industry.

Seoul supplies the U.S. with steel, aluminium, electronics, cars, ammunition and artillery shells.

Because previous U.S. administrations didn't take care of American shipyards, the U.S. Navy and Coastguard are building their new vessels inside South Korean shipyards and Hyundai is one of those shipbuilders.

Losing South Korea as an ally would be as damaging if not, worse than losing Taiwan.

🇫🇷 Leftist revolt in France

Leftist parties are calling on their supporters to revolt over French prime-minister, François Bayrou’s draft 2026 budget, which includes scrapping two national holidays, freezing pensions and cutting €5 billion from health spending.

The French Left are organising under the slogan “Block everything” (“Bloquons tout”) and seek to repeat the scale of the Yellow Vest protests of 2018-2019 but if the Yellow Vests were led by rightwing parties, this wave of social unrest is left-coded.

A poll conducted on the people who plan to partake in the "Block Everything" movement, 69% voted for the communist Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the 2022 presidential first round (versus 22% nationally), and 10% backed anti-capitalist candidate Philippe Poutou (against just 1%). By contrast, only 2% supported President Emmanuel Macron (28% nationwide) and 3% for rightwing leader Marine Le Pen (23%).

More than half of respondents (51%) placed themselves at the far left of the political spectrum, compared to just 3% of the French public. "If you broaden the scope, 86% describe themselves as belonging to the radical left," the study said.

Telegram chat groups linked to the campaign are filled with calls for a general strike and attacks on "ultra-rich capitalists", the foundation said.

The study showed that 54% of supporters cited rising inequality as a top concern, compared with 13% nationally. Other priorities included the environment (43% vs. 23%) and the health system (30% vs. 19%).

Immigration and crime – frequent themes in French politics – ranked low, with just 4% and 3% citing them, compared with 21% and 22% nationwide.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 With the Ukrainian presence west of the Vovcha River in Area 1 now isolated and likely coming to an end, and Russian forces enjoying steady advances westwards in Area 2, it appears that Russia is trying to reach the town of Pokrovskoye and subsequently the rear of Gulyaipole.

A significant portion of movement in and out of Gulyaipole goes through Pokrovskoye, so if the Russians can capture Velykomykhailovka (another important Ukrainian logistical hub), then get close to, and capture Pokrovskoye, it will put them in a much stronger position to storm Gulyaipole from three directions.

Currently Russian forces are advancing downhill to the rest of Gulyaipole - reminiscent of the operations to reach the rear of Ugledar. If they cross the Yanchur River and establish a solid bridgehead west of it, the city will be in danger of being taken into a pocket. Area 3 won't have to be activated unless it becomes the "bottom of the salient", where supply for Ukraine is the most difficult due to its distance from the outside of the salient, similar to the current situation in Pokrovsk-Myrnograd.

But there is one other thing to consider with a prolonged operation like this: It may depend on the situation on other fronts - namely Novopavlovka to the northeast. Depending on how strong Ukraine is in the Pokrovskoye area when the town falls, Russia may have to have collapsed the Novopavlovka salient, and advance north of the Vovcha River to the north of Pokrovskoye, but that could be difficult due to the placement of Mezhevaya. This is why it would be impossible to put a timeline on an operation like this, as all sections of the frontline influence each other.

🌐🤝🇺🇦 We can't get Ukraine to join NATO so we bring NATO to Ukraine

The European Union has drafted a detailed plan to deploy over 10,000 troops to Ukraine

According to WSJ, one group would train and support Ukraine's armed forces, while the other would provide security to prevent a "possible Russian incursion."

The report notes that the plans were prepared with the involvement of several U.S. generals, including the head of NATO's U.S. operations command.

Russian officials have repeatedly threatened that they will not refrain from bombing Western military contingents if they are deployed to Ukraine with predictable consequences for the military-political balance of the European continent.

🇺🇸❌🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 US to cut some security funds for European countries bordering Russia

The US is to phase out security assistance programmes for European armies along Russia’s border, as it pushes the continent to pay for more of its own defence.

Pentagon officials last week informed European diplomats that the US would no longer fund programmes that train and equip militaries in eastern European countries that would be on the frontline of any conflict with Russia, people familiar with the matter said.

Spending for the Pentagon programme, which falls under an authority known as section 333, must be agreed by the US Congress, but the Trump administration has not requested more money. Funds already approved will be available until the end of September 2026.

Winding down the section 333 funding would affect a programme with a worldwide budget of more than $1bn, according to estimates from Senate aides, potentially cutting hundreds of millions of dollars the US sends to the Russian border countries. The Pentagon has not informed lawmakers of the exact amount that will be phased out.

The programme allocated $1.6bn in Europe between 2018-2022, roughly 29 per cent of the global 333 spending, according to the US Government Accountability Office. Key recipients include Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Officials from dozens of European embassies in Washington, including from countries that do not receive the assistance, attended a meeting where Pentagon officials told them about the cuts.

The move appeared intended to encourage wealthier European countries to pay for more of the frontline states’ security assistance, one European official said.

🇺🇸🇻🇪🇹🇹 The "drug boat" destroyed by a missile by the U.S. earlier this week may not have been smuggling drugs according to more recent information.

The boat was coming from Unare, Venezuela, headed towards Trinidad and Tobago. According to Venezuelan sources, such trips are common and boats like the one targeted by the U.S. military carry Venezuelan migrants escaping Nicolas Maduro's regime, drugs and fishermen, sometimes all together.

The 11 man crew of the boat most likely was not affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang and this link is impossible to prove.

In the early hours of September 4th, under the cover of darkness, antifa cowards set about vandalizing a young member's family home, slashing the tires on his car, smashing its windows and spray painting it.

His only crime is having a love for his people and his nation and having the courage and pride to do it face out. His parents are completely blameless, save for loving their son and giving him shelter while he saves up money working a full-time job in the hopes of saving up enough to set off on his own and provide for a family.

The aim of this campaign is to quickly get his car fixed so that he can easily get back to work, to get his parents home cleaned and painted, and to have a surveillance system installed in order to dissuade the vermin from striking again.

Any proceeds that exceed these needs will be forwarded to the White Australia Legal Defense fund being as they are at the vanguard of our shared struggle and are being politically persecuted.

Thank you for your help, hail victory!

🟧⬜️ Orania Census for 2024 — Here are five interesting facts:


1. Population Growth
Orania grew with 5.4% in 2024, to a sum of 3,025 residents. This means the average of 10% per annum is maintained since 2020.

Also interesting is that Orania grew with almost 1000 residents since 2020. A third of its current population.

2. Economy
Economic researcher Werner Fourie points out that Services (31.5%), Trade (22.0%), and Construction (15.0%) remain Orania’s three largest economic sectors.
Although the contribution of Services shows a strong decrease (from 44.6% down to 31.5%), it is very positive that Manufacturing more than doubled from 5.0% to 12.6%, along with Agriculture, which also increased by nearly 4.0%.
In the construction industry something interesting happened –

3. Construction
The total number of building applications dropped from 176 in 2022 to 149 in 2024, however the value of developments is rising. With an estimated total of R186 million for 2024, the value of building applications in Orania was 31% higher than the previous year.
Education and training are growing at an average annual rate of 8.6%, which includes Orania’s schools and Bo-Karoo Training.

4. Climate
The year 2024 was drier and warmer than the past five years. Rainfall in 2024 measured 271.8 mm, almost half of the 456.6 mm recorded in 2020. The highest temperature recorded in 2024 was 41.7 °C and the lowest -4.4 °C.
Here is the most interesting piece of information from the 2024 census:

5. Salaries and food inflation
In terms of salaries, the average Oranian is significantly better off than the previous year. Average annual salaries increased with more than 18%! (Though still much lower than city averages)
Alongside this came one of the best pieces of news from the census: food inflation showed deflation of 2.8%! The food basket was almost 3% cheaper than in 2023, while the same products elsewhere in South Africa became more expensive.

In short: cooling in certain economic sectors, improvements in others. A substantial salary increase in permanent employment, and huge potential in education and training.
