“The Separation Of Money And State” XRP Strong.

"At Cisco, a Dalit engineer was blocked from promotion, kept off key projects, and eventually pushed out. Why? He wasn’t from the right caste. Internal messages showed hiring managers actively discussing caste identity, and choosing only from their own."

Built by Americans. Captured by Foreigners.

Phase Two: The Referral Rings and the Caste Networks That Took Over American Hiring

This phase didn’t happen overnight. It took time, connections, and silence. And most importantly ... it took referrals.

A single foreign hire was never the endgame. It was just the key.

Once inside, the next step was to build a hiring network. A private backchannel, built on shared language, caste, culture, and hometown. HR job portals became irrelevant. Public postings were just for show.

Insiders brought in their own. Not the best. Not the most qualified. Just the most familiar.

And that’s not some theory..this is legal record.

At Oracle, the Department of Labor found that over 90% of hires for certain technical roles were Asian ... overwhelmingly Indian ... even when better qualified U.S. candidates applied. Oracle didn’t deny it. They called it “standard referral-based hiring.”

At Cisco, a Dalit engineer was blocked from promotion, kept off key projects, and eventually pushed out. Why? He wasn’t from the right caste. Internal messages showed hiring managers actively discussing caste identity, and choosing only from their own.

At Cognizant, a federal jury found the company guilty of systemic discrimination, using staffing systems that overwhelmingly favored Indian visa holders. Americans were benched, sidelined, and told they were too expensive or not team-fit. They were replaced by cheaper foreign referrals ... often less qualified.

This is culture and It’s capture.

One hire becomes ten. Ten become the hiring panel. The hiring panel becomes a wall.

Many Americans inside these companies spoke out.

Kevin Lynn, from U.S. Tech Workers, warned Congress about these internal networks, calling them “exclusionary by design.”

Laid-off workers from Disney testified under oath about being forced to train their own replacements, brought in via outsourcing firms like Infosys and Tata ... where internal hiring heavily favored Indian nationals through tight referral circles.

At Southern California Edison, internal emails revealed that managers were told to treat the displacement of American workers as inevitable. Many replacements were sourced through Indian staffing agencies using pre-vetted referral pipelines.

This isn’t limited to Big Tech. It's in finance, insurance, telecom, and even healthcare IT.

In smaller firms, board seats get filled by insiders. Job descriptions are quietly rewritten. Hires go to the same caste, same language group, same town. One firm in New Jersey saw its entire IT department transition to a single caste-dominant group within 2 years. HR claimed they “hired the best candidates available.” Yet internal referrals accounted for nearly 100% of hires.

These networks are tight, exclusive, and reinforced daily. Not just with hiring, but with workplace culture:

Birthday celebrations in one language only

Project assignments split by caste

Promotions decided over WhatsApp group chats

American engineers report being talked over, benched, or ghosted.

This isn’t inclusion. It’s entrenchment.

And it’s not just tolerated ... it’s defended.

When questioned, companies point to diversity statistics. But look closer: their “diverse” teams are often 95% Indian males, with near-zero representation of African-Americans, Latinos, veterans, or women in engineering roles.

The people doing this are not ashamed. They post openly on LinkedIn, on Reddit, on WhatsApp job boards:

“Only Telugu candidates please.”

“Looking for referral into XYZ company ... Tamil speaker preferred.”

“Join our team in Atlanta ... Andhra team already in place.”

Some of this is archived. Some of it’s already deleted. But it was seen.

And in some cases ... called out.

Ron Hira, a Howard professor and labor policy expert, has testified that H‑1B programs are being used to enforce “in-group loyalty and out-group exclusion.”

Donna Conroy, a former IT worker and advocate for displaced professionals, warned that these practices were reshaping American employment. Her reports documented caste favoritism, internal referral loops, and ghost hiring.

“This isn’t just bias,” she said. “It’s a network designed to keep you out.”

And she was right.

This is Phase Two. The network effect.

Referral by referral, caste by caste, exclusion became policy.

Job by job, the American Dream was quietly rerouted through Bangalore.

And they’re not hiding it. They’re proud of it.

BREAKING: NYT reports that operatives with Democratic Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign were behind the effort to find & recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and peel votes from him.

Specifically, NYT says they have reviewed text messages and documents that reveal in summer 2025, a Peltola staffer received instructions from campaign staffers to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible.

The staffer complied, going through voter records, and compiled a list. The operation “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”

Per NYT:

“The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.”

No está pasando nada en XRP.

Nada de nada. Lo puedes comprobar tú mismo: abre el gráfico, mira el precio, ciérralo. Nada.

Son 32 anuncios en 8 semanas. TREINTA Y DOS. Los tengo contados uno a uno con sus enlaces oficiales.

Pero nada, tienes razón: el precio está lateral, así que no pasa nada.

El precio mide el presente. Los anuncios construyen el futuro. Y cuando el precio por fin se entere de todo esto, los que solo miraban el gráfico preguntarán cómo nadie les avisó.

Avisado quedas. Hoy empieza Swell. Lo mismo tampoco pasa nada.

Whales accumulating because XRP is a scam.

That’s believable, right?🤣🤣

这女子叫Lulu Freistadt，她是“智能选举（Smart Elections）”组织的联合创始人兼执行董事。她表示自己从 2021 年起一直在纽约市担任投票站监督员（poll watcher）。 
事件经过：
她提到昨天（投票期间）她在纽约布朗克斯（Bronx）的一个投票点做监督工作。 
起初一切正常，投票人数与扫描的选票数量对得上，她本准备离开。 
但随后她发现一件非常奇怪的事：所有的投票站工作人员（poll workers）都在清点并准备离开，而投票机却仍然开着、没有上锁、没有密封，选票也还没有被取出。 
按照正常程序，每台投票机都应由指定的投票工作人员负责关闭、密封并取出选票。但现场的机器和选票完全处于未密封状态。 
交涉与冲突：
当她坐下等待工作人员按规定处理选票时，协调员（coordinator）开始变得焦躁不安，并打电话给副首席书记官（deputy chief clerk）。对方告诉她必须离开。 
她指出根据法规，投票监督员有权留在现场直到投票结束、选票被取出并放入密封容器中。 
尽管她据理力争，但工作人员和警察还是要求她离开，现场只留下一名技术人员在无人监督的情况下关闭投票机。 
结尾：她强调这种不符合规范的做法为作弊提供了可乘之机，并呼吁大家关注和转发。

🚨HUGE: Subway, with nearly 37,000 restaurants worldwide, is using @Ripple Treasury to transform its global financial operations! $XRP

The results are INCREDIBLE:

✅ 98% visibility over global cash
✅ 90% of payments automated
✅ 400,000 transactions annually
✅ Bank relationships reduced from 70 to 30

This is the scale of enterprise finance Ripple is already powering!

Most Wisconsin voters will flip their ballot over on Nov 3rd and find three questions nobody told them about. They are permanent changes to the state constitution. My vote on them is YES, YES and YES.

1) Should the governor be barred from using a partial veto to create or raise taxes or fees - or authorize those increases?

A yes vote adds that restriction, including vetoes that allow local governments to increase taxes or fees.

2) Should state and local governments be prohibited from closing places of worship or banning gatherings there in response to a declared emergency, including a public-health emergency?

A yes vote adds that prohibition to the constitution.

3) Should the constitution prohibit government bodies from discrimination or preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in government employment, education, contracting, and administration?

A yes vote adds the prohibition, with exceptions involving federal requirements and certain necessary sex-based qualifications. It gets rid of the DEI hiring scheme.

Look for Question 1, 2 and 3 on the back of your ballot.
Screenshot this, bring it with you, and send it to one person who hasn’t voted yet.

One day after Lula was declared the winner of Brazil's elections, his opponent -- Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro -- just had had his passport seized by the Federal Police.

Theose police were sent by notorious tyrant Judge Alexandre de Moraes. What a lovely democratic image.

@Math_files If you say so. 😂😜

Final OCC approval for Ripple National Trust Bank is the result of a simple choice we made years ago: build within the regulatory perimeter, not around it.

Clear rules + rigorous oversight create trust. And trust is what allows new financial infrastructure to scale.

[BullRush @BullRush__]

$QS just posted a role for a Director of Government Relations in Washington. Brand-new position, reporting straight to the CFO.

On the ER, Siva said QS was looking for non-dilutive funding for the 100 MWh line, including from the government.

What stood out most to me in the posting is the phrase “factory-scale capital.” To me, QS is already thinking beyond 100 MWh.

The posting is pretty clear about what they want: land prototype funding fast, go after factory-scale capital, and have a say in US battery policy.

They’re targeting the DOE, DARPA, DIU, DPA Title III, and even the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital. They also want the tech recognized as critical to get a real line in the defense budget. And push for US government battery purchasing to require non-China content.

Of course, a job posting doesn’t mean funding secured, and these programs take time. The funding plan is expected with Q4 results.

⚠️ ALERT: BloomTrading Bot users report nearly $1 MILLION in wallet drains, with 9,408 SOL traced to a suspected attacker wallet.

Reports identify roughly 49 victims, with the largest individual loss reaching 1,636 SOL, worth about $166,000.

Total losses could be higher as more affected wallets emerge.

Victims report losses from wallets whose private keys were imported into the trading bot, while USDC reportedly remained untouched in several cases.

BloomTrading’s team is reportedly investigating and has paused some services.

Users are being urged to move remaining assets to fresh wallets, disconnecting alone won’t protect funds if a private key has been compromised.
