US Expands Visa Vetting For Misinformation, Not Genocide Apologists
The irony is thick enough to spread on a bagel. The US, a nation whose officials regularly amplify or outright create 'misinformation' to justify foreign policy, now wants to reject highly skilled workers for having engaged in 'tackling misinformation.' (One might naturally wonder whose 'misinformation' is being 'tackled' and on whose behalf.) The real 'work history' that should be grounds for
rejection, or at least serious scrutiny, would be any involving lobbying for foreign governments that commit war crimes. Perhaps the US Customs and Immigration Services should start vetting politicians who take millions from organizations like AIPAC and then vote overwhelmingly to send weapons that flatten entire cities. According to OpenSecrets.org, AIPAC spent $24.7 million in 2023 alone,
influencing elections and legislative outcomes. But sure, let's focus on IT professionals who once deleted a tweet. It makes perfect sense, if your goal is to silence dissent while maintaining imperial convenient narratives.
