Waching daily Jan 31 2017

Hey YouTube it's me Spotty!

Hope you're all doing great!

Today, I'm bringing you guys the 3 most important things that you need to know if

you're looking to buy the Yan Cheng Yan 3.

So getting right into it, number 1.

This cube has a pretty painful break in process and it doesn't perform that well until you

put some TLC into it.

Out of the box this puzzle performs pretty well (?) but there's some really unbearable

catching that occurs, which makes solving on it not that pleasant.

Now lubing and tensioning will, but not by much.

What you really need is some serious breaking in.

The catches I experienced didn't start to go away until I put at least 300 or so solves

into it which normally isn't that hard to do.

It takes some time but the issue that I had with this particular cube is that while breaking

it in, I wasn't able to get my normal times on it and overall my solves were really inconsistent.

So on top of the catches, this made breaking in the puzzle even more tedious and just not

enjoyable whatsoever.

So if you're looking to pick up this puzzle then just keep in mind that this cube doesn't

'get good' until you put some time and solves into it.

Okay, number 2.

The Yan 3 is nothing spectacular or revolutionary, but great nonetheless after breaking in.

And for the performance you are getting, the price is really quite nice especially compared

to some other puzzles that have been released recently like the Valk 3 or Gans Air which

can normally be found from around $15 - $20 US depending on the store you pick these up

from.

The Yan 3 can be bought for less than 11 at Cubezz which isn't a huge difference but

if you're looking for a very comparable option and wouldn't mind saving a couple

dollars then the Yan 3 is something you might want to look into.

And last but not least, number 3.

The feel.

Now no review would be complete without going over the feel because this is one of the largest

factors that nowdays would make you lean from one cube to another.

Now the feel of this cube is kinda strange.

It's smooth when turning slow but if you go a bit faster then the feeling is more crispy

and crunchy as well.

The turning all round is also really light and airy which I know a lot of people like.

(Cube noise) So overall, the Yan 3 is an interesting puzzle.

It has a painful break in process but otherwise very good performance especially for the price

you're paying.

This cube isn't going to become my main because I prefer the feeling of my Valk3 but

I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few people do switch.

If you are interested in picking up this puzzle then I will leave a link to it down below.

But, that just about wraps up this video.

Thanks to Cubezz for helping me get my hands on this puzzle, thank you guys for watching

and I will catch you all soon!

Surviving an ISIS Truck Bomb in Mosul | Battle for Iraq | FRONTLINE - Duration: 4:20.

>> NARRATOR: A local family has

agreed to let Ghaith and the

soldiers spend the night in

their house.

They are a mile back from the

front line, and feel safe.

But they're wrong.

The war is about to come to

them.

>> ABDUL-AHAD: I wake up early

in the morning.

I went outside to the street.

And I saw the soldier across

the street from me, and he

shouted, "Mufakhkhakha!

Mufakhkhakha!"

"Car bomb, car bomb!"

This is the other entrance of

the building.

>> Yes.

Get it quickly.

(gunshots)

>> NARRATOR: An ISIS truck bomb

has exploded a few feet in

front of the house where Ghaith

and the soldiers spent the

night.

The house has collapsed.

Ghaith immediately starts

filming.

He finds the soldier who warned

him.

(gunfire)

>> NARRATOR: ISIS gunmen are now

trying to pick off the soldiers,

who fire back.

>> ABDUL-AHAD: We were in the

middle of this huge scene of

carnage.

Everything is this dark, black,

grey, mixture of concrete and

burnt plastic, puddles of water,

debris, burnt Humvees.

Then the civilians start

emerging from the collapsed

houses.

>> NARRATOR: Ghaith's colleague

and producer, Josh Baker, has

dug himself out of the rubble.

He will later discover he has a

fractured spine.

(children crying)

>> NARRATOR: No soldiers have

been killed.

The civilians have borne the

brunt of the attack.

Several are feared dead under

the debris.

Those that survived are now

homeless.

(gunfire in background)

>> NARRATOR: The soldiers think

the attack was meant to kill

"Steel," Lieutenant Colonel

Munthadar.

>> ABDUL-AHAD: I think that day,

we realized the complexity of

the battle.

The civilians are still there.

This is a battle happening

between two enemies on a land

inhabited by the civilians.

No one knows how many civilians

have been killed in this battle

of Mosul, not even the

government of Iraq.

She could put her hair behind her ear.

That just...

-An absolutely hilarious comic.

I'm so lucky to have him here.

You guys are gonna love him.

Please give it up for Lavell Crawford, everybody.

Let him hear it.

- Hell yeah, I'll tell you a story about me drowning.

Uh, yes, I drowned. I literally drowned.

And the audience is like, "Wow, that's amazing,

"you being so large and buoyant.

You--how would you drown?"

Well, it was-- it was when I was smaller,

if you can believe it.

I was a little younger. I was a kid.

I was in this day camp at this little day care

where, you know, they-- my mom, it was free,

so she put me in the day care.

We up there with these little stupid-ass kids,

and we was like 11 and 12, so he was--

I used to beat them up

and take the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, you know,

and our counselor, she was, you know,

she was--she smoked weed.

She was a-- she was a whore.

You know what I'm saying?

She was nasty, and she didn't know what to do with us.

We didn't have no arts and crafts or nothing.

She didn't do shit with us.

We just hung out, playing--

making up our own games, man--

"Kiss me, you can finger me."

You know, them little--

And that got old after a while

and they ran out of hand soap,

so that--that--

that wasn't gonna be a fun night, you know.

You know, but I-- when I--

And this--this day camp was in a, uh,

you know, predominantly, you know,

suburb--may I say, you know,

like it is in here, more whites than blacks,

you know, and-- and I used to live in the hood,

you know, and when I got around white people,

there was a lot of things that was different.

White people have season passes to Six Flags,

and they could go a bunch of times.

But the main thing was the white girls.

That threw me for a loop.

I had never seen a white girl before.

I had never seen nobody named Rebecca or Samantha

or Elizabeth, you know?

I--I was around Lakeeshas and Sharondas.

You know what I'm saying?

You know, Chiquita, you know, that was my girls,

and when I seen Elizabeth, man, oh, my God.

She was cute, she had red hair,

and her cheeks were, like, rosy like a cartoon,

like Charlie Brown, you know.

Little Charlie Brown girl you had a crush on back in the day.

Her cheeks was red.

And one thing a white girl could do

that just blew my mind?

She could put her hair behind her ear.

That just...

Oh, my God!

That was so sexy to me!

I was like, holy shit!

Do that again, Elizabeth.

She's like, "What are you talking about?"

Oh, man, I was--

I'd break out in a cold sweat. I could--

I was in love with her from--

from that day on.

I followed her everywhere.

"Please put your hair behind your ears for me.

Just for the day."

"Lavell, I'm sick of doing this for you."

Oh!

And--and this little-- little girl

that was from my neighborhood, her name was Shakeesha.

She couldn't stand me 'cause she loved me.

She was--had a crush on me,

but she was mad 'cause I liked Elizabeth.

She went to the day camp too.

"Why you like that little ugly white girl?

Why you like that ugly white girl?"

I said "First of all, watch your damn mouth

"around my white woman, all right?

"You're being highly disrespectful.

"Second of all, Shakeesha,

can you put your hair behind your ear? Huh?"

She said, "Yeah, I can."

She tried, and it popped out,

and she tried again, it popped out.

I said, "I ain't got no more fucking time for you,

all right?"

She said, "Let me get some hair oil."

Fuck that, I ain't got no time!

If you can't do it on your own, you don't

need to do it at all.

So, one--you know, one day, we was at day camp,

and we was trying to--

we were supposed to go to a-- a--you know,

go do something with the counselor,

and she couldn't find out nothing to do,

but she wanted to see her boyfriend.

I heard her on the phone talking to him.

"I'm gonna come over, Robert.

"I'm gonna see if I can get away.

I'm gonna bring the kids over and let 'em go swimming."

I heard her say it, and I was like,

fuck it, I'll go swimming,

if you gonna take us swimming.

You know, kids love to swim, you know.

I don't--I couldn't swim. I'm black.

We don't swim. You know, black kids don't swim.

We learned later after one of our friends died,

we'd learn how to swim.

You know? And we--

This is black swimming: when we're at three feet,

we walking on the water, like,

whoa, look at me, I'm swimming, player!

We just go over and put our foot on the deep--

ooh, shit, I almost got in there!

And that's how-- that's how black--

that's how black pool parties are.

We don't go in the deep shit.

We jump off the diving board close to the side and get out.

If somebody try to push you, "Bitch, I'll fuck you up,

"if you push me again.

Stop playing. I just got my hair done."

But we--we don't-- we don't swim.

But I wanted to go, and she said, "Hey, guys,

"I'm gonna take you over to my apartment complex,

but you can't tell anybody where we're going."

'Cause she wasn't supposed to take us

away from, you know, the day care center.

We wasn't supposed to leave the premises,

but she doing some foul shit.

She said--we went over there.

She didn't even watch-- she watched us for five minutes.

We was unsupervised.

All these 11, 12 years old, all by ourself.

And it was cool 'cause I was trying

to get up on Beth anyway,

so, you know, we jump in the water.

I had on my little Aquaman, uh, swim shorts.

They tight up-- a little tight up in my crotch.

You know, I'm ready to get out there

and follow Beth around the pool.

She was cool as long was we was in, you know, three feet,

but Beth was trying to get away from me.

Apparently she wasn't as into me as I thought she was.

But I was like, "What's wrong, Beth?

"Come on, baby. Slow down.

Put your hair behind your ear and let's talk."

You know, and she kept going, "Leave me alone,"

and she just started floating, and I'm following her,

you know, and I'm mesmermized by her beauty, you know.

Her--the hair behind her ears just have me hip--

hypmatized, and I'm-- I'm following her

all the way over there, and then I noticed

that I wasn't paying attention.

I'm still walking under the water,

but the water over my damn nose.

But I kept walking with her.

Next thing you know, she took off like a feather.

Just floating across the water, 'cause she white.

They know how to swim.

She swam real well, like a damn mermaid.

And I went under the damn water.

I didn't know what-- I'm under the water.

Bloop! I'm sitting around like...

This is weird.

Why ain't I floating like Beth?

I don't know what I can do

to get up on the water like Beth,

and man, this is weird,

because I don't know why

I can't breathe now.

And I'm under there, "This is bullshit!"

I'm gonna... [sputtering].

And I didn't know what to do.

I was trying to get up,

but I couldn't get up, I couldn't get up.

Next thing you know, I've disappeared.

In my mind, I was gone,

and all I dreamed about is white women

just leaving me all over the place.

And when I woke up,

I'm laying on the side of the pool.

The camp counselor, she freaking out, like,

"Oh, shit, I'm gonna lose my fucking job."

Fuck me. Hell with me.

She didn't care if I was alive or not.

She worried about her job 'cause she wasn't even there.

She was over there, probably doing some ungodly shit

with her boyfriend,

smelling like marijuana.

And the paramedic's trying to give me mouth-to-mouth,

which, that woke me up, 'cause

you ain't gonna put your lips on me

and I don't know you.

I came through, and I threw up.

I had died--they said I was unconscious for ten minutes.

I was dead! I died!

And I'm sitting there, like, damn,

I--I died?

And Beth? Where is Beth?

Beth's stinking ass had went home with her parents.

They had sent everybody home, and she left me.

That dirty bitch.

And after that, I didn't like

white girls never again.

I went back to Shakeesha.

I said, "Shakeesha,

"I don't care if you can't put your hair behind your ears.

"Can you swim?

"Fuck swimming.

You gonna be my boo for life."

That's my story. [applause]

U S World Population Control Programme Revealed – War and Famine - Duration: 8:17.

U.S. World Population Control Programme Revealed � War and Famine.

by Edward Morgan.

In researching for another report TruePublica unearthed a database dating back to the mid

1990�s and although quite widely publicised some years ago, provides astonishing insight

into how dangerous American foreign policy has developed over the decades.

This particular article appeared as part of a feature in the December 8, 1995 issue of

Executive Intelligence Review, and was circuclated extensively by the Schiller Insitute Food

for Peace Movement entitled: �Who Is Responsible for the World Food Shortage?�

The article quotes from a classified report and summizes that a plan, formulated by Henry

Kissinger was adopted by the US administration in the 1970�s under President Gerald Ford

to use population control methods in regions around the world where threats to their own

economic or political power was likely emerging.

The article, now over twenty years old, explains in detail the plan to starve millions and

keep many countries in a cycle of perpetual emerging nation status through famine or war

or both.

At the base of the article we have included more links as supporting evidence to Joseph

Breda�s 1995 article and attached former World Bank staff Peter Koenig�s latest piece

on Washington�s �Financial Genocide� of India.

Kissinger�s 1974 Plan for Food Control Genocide by Joseph Brewda

Dec. 8, 1995

On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a

classified 200-page study, �National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide

Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.� The study falsely claimed that

population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat

to U.S. national security.

Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined

a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control,

and also, implicitly, war and famine.

Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as national security adviser (the

same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing

the plan.

CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state,

treasury, defense, and agriculture.

The bogus arguments that Kissinger advanced were not original.

One of his major sources was the Royal Commission on Population, which King George VI had created

in 1944 �to consider what measures should be taken in the national interest to influence

the future trend of population.� The commission found that Britain was gravely threatened

by population growth in its colonies, since �a populous country has decided advantages

over a sparsely-populated one for industrial production.� The combined effects of increasing

population and industrialization in its colonies, it warned, �might be decisive in its effects

on the prestige and influence of the West,� especially effecting �military strength

and security.� NSSM 200 similarly concluded that the United

States was threatened by population growth in the former colonial sector.

It paid special attention to 13 �key countries� in which the United States had a �special

political and strategic interest�: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand,

the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia.

It claimed that population growth in those states was especially worrisome, since it

would quickly increase their relative political, economic, and military strength.

For example, Nigeria: �Already the most populous country on the continent, with an

estimated 55 million people in 1970, Nigeria�s population by the end of this century is projected

to number 135 million.

This suggests a growing political and strategic role for Nigeria, at least in Africa.� Or

Brazil: �Brazil clearly dominated the continent demographically.� The study warned of a

�growing power status for Brazil in Latin America and on the world scene over the next

25 years.�

Food as a weapon

There were several measures that Kissinger advocated to deal with this alleged threat,

most prominently, birth control and related population-reduction programs.

He also warned that �population growth rates are likely to increase appreciably before

they begin to decline,� even if such measures were adopted.

A second measure was curtailing food supplies to targetted states, in part to force compliance

with birth control policies: �There is also some established precedent for taking account

of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S. Agency

for International Development] and consultative groups.

Since population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand, allocation of

scarce PL 480 resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population

control as well as food production.

In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance

to avoid the appearance of coercion.�

�Mandatory programs may be needed and we should be considering these possibilities

now,� the document continued, adding, �Would food be considered an instrument of national

power?

� Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can�t/won�t control

their population growth?�

Kissinger also predicted a return of famines that could make exclusive reliance on birth

control programs unnecessary.

�Rapid population growth and lagging food production in developing countries, together

with the sharp deterioration in the global food situation in 1972 and 1973, have raised

serious concerns about the ability of the world to feed itself adequately over the next

quarter of century and beyond,� he reported.

The cause of that coming food deficit was not natural, however, but was a result of

western financial policy: �Capital investments for irrigation and infrastucture and the organization

requirements for continuous improvements in agricultural yields may be beyond the financial

and administrative capacity of many LDCs.

For some of the areas under heaviest population pressure, there is little or no prospect for

foreign exchange earnings to cover constantly increasingly imports of food.�

�It is questionable,� Kissinger gloated, �whether aid donor countries will be prepared

to provide the sort of massive food aid called for by the import projections on a long-term

continuing basis.� Consequently, �large-scale famine of a kind not experienced for several

decades�a kind the world thought had been permanently banished,� was foreseeable�famine,

which has indeed come to pass.

GORBACHEV 'IT ALL LOOKS AS IF THE WORLD IS PREPARING FOR WAR' - Duration: 7:10.

GORBACHEV: �IT ALL LOOKS AS IF THE WORLD IS PREPARING FOR WAR�

by Darius Shahtahmasebi.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists announced on Thursday of this week that the Doomsday

Clock now stands at two-and-a-half minutes to midnight.

This spine-tingling announcement suggests that existential threats now pose a greater

threat to humanity than they have at any time since the height of the Cold War.

�This is the closest to midnight the Doomsday Clock has ever been in the lifetime of almost

everyone in this room.

It�s been 64 years since it was closer,� said Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist

at Arizona State University and the chair of the Bulletin�s board of sponsors.

Now is the time to panic � or not, depending on your level of resolve (or apathy).

Mikhail Gorbachev, former president of the Soviet Union and author of The New Russia,

wrote an article published in TIME Magazine entitled �It All Looks as if the World Is

Preparing For War.� In the article, Gorbachev notes:

�Today, however, the nuclear threat once again seems real.

Relations between the great powers have been going from bad to worse for several years

now.

The advocates for arms build-up and the military-industrial complex are rubbing their hands.�

Gorbachev is not overstating the threat of global warfare.

In an interview with Prism magazine, retired Army General Stanley McChrystal issued two

warnings that, as noted by Foreign Policy magazine, are �hair-raising� to say the

least.

�A European war is not unthinkable,� McChrystal explained.

�People who want to believe that a war in Europe is not possible might be in for a surprise.

We have to acknowledge great power politics; we can�t pretend that they are gone.�

McChrystal admits the U.S. made vital mistakes in speedily invading Afghanistan and Iraq,

as well as �paying a high price� in Syria.

As he has observed: �In the case of Afghanistan, immediately

after 9/11, in terms of military action we should have done nothing initially.

I now believe we should have taken the first year after 9/11 and sent 10,000 young Americans�military,

civilians, diplomats�to language school; Pashtu, Dari, Arabic.

We should have started to build up the capacity we didn�t have.

I would have spent that year with diplomats traveling the world as the aggrieved party,�

McChrystal stated.

Now that the world is headed down the path toward a possible world war, McChrystal acknowledges

the unthinkable is to follow: the erosion of our civil liberties, which will directly

impact on ordinary civilians.

�We are beginning an era in which our ability to leverage technology to track people and

control populations is going to create a lot of tension; I think we are going to see a

lot more population control measures.

We are going to have to give up a lot more of our precious civil rights than most of

us imagine because we want security,� McChrystal added.

Speaking to Republican policymakers in Philadelphia, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May stated that

Britain and the U.S. will no longer invade sovereign foreign nations �in an attempt

to make the world in their own image.� Such an ambiguous statement makes it unclear whether

this means Britain and the U.S. will still invade sovereign nations for other reasons,

especially in light of May�s statement that �nor can we afford to stand idly by when

the threat is real and when it is in our own interests to intervene.�

What May�s address really symbolizes is that the U.K. will still continue to follow

the U.S. hand-in-hand, as has been the case for decades.

This can be seen most clearly in the events following Donald Trump�s calls to focus

more on ISIS as opposed to Assad in Syria.

Britain�s answer to Donald Trump in the form of Foreign Minister Boris Johnson followed

suit, stating it is �better sometimes to have a tyrant than not to have a ruler at

all.� Not surprisingly, as a result of her comments

and commitment to the U.S.-U.K alliance, May just secured �100% support� for NATO from

President Trump.

Instead of focusing on Assad in Syria, as Obama and former prime minister, David Cameron

did, May made it clear the U.K. and U.S.� renewed focus is on this recently adopted

approach to foreign policy: Iran.

May stated that pushing back on �Iran�s aggressive efforts� to increase its �arc

of influence from Tehran through to the Mediterranean� was a �priority.�

Essentially, despite May�s rhetoric, nothing will actually change in practice.

War is still a reality; it just might take place in a different theater.

As a result, it is no surprise that the U.K. and the U.S. have been the most staunch backers

of the Saudi-led brutal assault on Yemen, as it is argued a Houthi-led government in

Yemen could align itself with Iran, creating an Iranian-influenced adversary on Riyadh�s

doorstep.

It should also be noted that Iran is bound to Syria by a mutual defense agreement.

Russia and China have made it abundantly clear they will not tolerate any attack on Syria

or Iran, as evidenced by Russia�s decision to overtly intervene in the Syrian war in

2015.

Further, Iran may eventually join the Eurasian security bloc, placing the Islamic Republic

into a direct alliance with nuclear powers Russia and China.

In turn, the U.K. and the U.S. are surrounding Russia with troops, missiles, tanks, and everything

in between.

Does this sound like the actions of two countries that will no longer invade sovereign nations

to shape the world in their image?

There is no way around this delicate issue other than to completely dismantle the world�s

current system of war.

As noted by Forbes: �However, there is more to averting nuclear

holocaust than having a robust strategic force.

The U.S. needs to avoid getting into non-nuclear conflicts and crises that could escalate to

the nuclear level.

Eastern Europe is the place where such a scenario is most likely to unfold, because since the

Cold War ended, the U.S. has extended security guarantees to former Soviet republics and

satellites that lie close to the Russian heartland.� Gorbachev himself has acknowledged this chilling

fact and offered his vast experience in this area.

The whole world should heed his words: �In modern world, wars must be outlawed,

because none of the global problems we are facing can be resolved by war � not poverty,

nor the environment, migration, population growth, or shortages of resources.� [emphasis

Why The Cold War Between Tech CEOs and Trump Is About To Go Nuclear - Duration: 9:56.

Why The Cold War Between Tech CEOs and Trump Is About To Go Nuclear.

by Tyler Durden.

Over the weekend, openly defiant CEOs, particularly among the tech sector, expressed their displeasure

with Trump's Friday executive order temporarily banning refugees and limiting travel from

seven Muslim countries, with both words and deeds, among which the following (summary

courtesy of Axios):

VCs funding the ACLU: Several venture capitalists, as well as a few entrepreneurs, took turns

soliciting donations to the American Civil Liberties Union through social media and personally

matching those donations.

Airbnb volunteers to help provide housing for impacted immigrants: The home-sharing

company said that it will work with travelers and organizations to provide housing for those

impacted by the executive order, whether through volunteer hosts or by funding housing.

Lyft and Uber commit millions of dollars to legal aid: On Sunday, Lyft said it will donate

$1 million to the ACLU over the next four years.

Later in the day, Uber said it will create a $3 million legal defense fund for impacted

drivers, as well as provide legal assistance and compensate their lost wages.

Google is setting up a $2 million crisis fund: The search giant has set up a fund that will

donate to the American Civil Liberties Union, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, International

Rescue Committee, and UNHCR.

On Monday morning, former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, speaking in an interview with

Bloomberg Television, said that he is �gratified� by what he heard from the tech community.

�As global businesses, they have a huge stake in the United States being a nation

of the Statue of Liberty rather than being a nation of refugee camps.� He added that

�they have a huge stake in the United States supporting an open and tolerant global system,

they have that stake for their employees, their customers, they have it for the reputation

of the United States and they have spoken out.�

Donald Trump sitting down with tech CEOs during less turbulent times.

That may be, but the biggest reason for the anger by tech CEOs at the Trump administration

is a simple, and a more selfish one.

The reason for the simmering cold war between tech CEOs and Trump can be summarized in just

three letters: H1-B. The bottom line is that tech CEOs fear Trump will single them out

for outsourcing jobs or shut down the so-called H-1B visa program they use to hire high-skilled

foreign employees for crucial engineering and technical jobs.

And, as Axios adds, White House officials say they are right to be nervous, especially

about changes to the visa program.

Chief strategist Steve Bannon and policy chief Stephen Miller are known to be deeply skeptical

of the program, and will have a strong, vocal ally when Jeff Sessions gets confirmed as

Attorney General.

Some further observations:

Trump's mixed messages: On the campaign trail, he promised to "end forever the use of H-1B

as a cheap labor program."

He later signaled in a meeting with tech leaders that he's most concerned about companies misusing

the visas to displace lower-wage American workers.

How it works: Visas are capped at 65,000 a year, with 20,000 additional visas for foreign

workers with master's degrees.

The demand for the visas is so high that the cap is usually exceeded within a few days

of the application window opening.

The visas are distributed to companies through a lottery system.

Tech companies such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Cisco, Apple, Intel and Facebook say

the visas are crucial for specialized jobs they can't fill domestically because of a

shortage of American graduates with the right technical skills.

When CEOs spoke out over the weekend about the ban, they pointed out the importance of

allowing the "best and brightest" to work in the U.S.

Which is why if a news report about Trump's next imminent executive order is accurate,

the simmering cold war between the tech CEOs and Trump is about to nuclear.

Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration has drafted an executive order aimed at overhauling

the work-visa programs technology companies depend on to hire tens of thousands of employees

each year.

If implemented, the reforms could force wholesale changes at India companies such as Infosys

Ltd. and Wipro Ltd., and shift the way American companies like Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com

Inc. and Apple Inc. recruit talent.

Companies would have to try to hire American first and if they recruit foreign workers,

priority would be given to the most highly paid.

The draft of Trump�s executive order covers an alphabet soup of visa programs, including

H-1B, L-1, E-2 and B1.

The first is a popular program with technology companies and is aimed at allowing them to

bring in high-skill workers when they can�t find local hires with the appropriate skills.

The legislation caps the number of people who can enter the U.S. annually at 85,000,

including those with undergrad and master�s degrees.

The average salary of an H-1B worker at Apple is reportedly more than $100k.

�Our country�s immigration policies should be designed and implemented to serve, first

and foremost, the U.S. national interest,� the draft proposal reads, according to a copy

reviewed by Bloomberg.

�Visa programs for foreign workers � should be administered in a manner that protects

the civil rights of American workers and current lawful residents, and that prioritizes the

protection of American workers -- our forgotten working people -- and the jobs they hold.�

The foreign work visas were originally established to help U.S. companies recruit from abroad

when they couldn�t find qualified local workers.

But in recent years, there have been allegations the programs have been abused to bring in

cheaper workers from overseas to fill jobs that otherwise may go to Americans.

The top recipients of the H-1B visas are outsourcers, primarily from India, who run the technology

departments of large corporations with largely imported staff.

�If firms are using the program for cheap labor, I think it will affect them and they

will have to pay workers more,� said Ron Hira, an associate professor at Howard University.

�If tech firms are using the program for specialized labor, they may find there are

more visas available.�

The Trump administration did not respond to a request for comment on the draft.

The proposal is consistent with the president�s public comments on pushing companies to add

more jobs to the U.S., from auto manufacturing to technology.

It�s not clear how much force the executive order would have if it is signed by the president.

Congress is also working on visa reforms and the parties will have to cooperate to pass

new laws.

Zoe Lofgren, a Democratic congresswoman from California, introduced a bill last week to

tighten requirements for the H-1B work visa program.

"My legislation refocuses the H-1B program to its original intent � to seek out and

find the best and brightest from around the world, and to supplement the U.S. workforce

with talented, highly-paid, and highly-skilled workers,� Lofgren said in a statement.

Meanwhile, as Bloomberg adds, India�s technology companies, led by Tata Consultancy Services

Ltd, Infosys and Wipro, have argued they are helping corporations become more competitive

by handling their technology operations with specialized staff.

They also contend the visa programs allow them to keep jobs in the U.S. and that if

they have to pay more for staff, they will handle more of the work remotely from less

expensive markets like India.

Trump, however, see things differently.

�Inspections and investigations in the past have shown no cases of wrongdoing by Indian

IT services companies, which have always been fully compliant with the law,� said R Chandrashekhar,

president of Nasscom, the trade group for India�s information technology sector.

�The industry is open to any kind of checks in the system, but they should not cause any

hindrance to the smooth operation of companies.

The proposed Trump order is also aimed at bringing more transparency to the program.

It calls for publishing reports with basic statistics on who uses the immigration programs

within one month of the end of the government�s fiscal year.

The Obama Administration had scaled back the information available on the programs and

required Freedom of Information Act requests for some data.

Whatever specific changes are implemented, they are likely to add to the expenses for

India�s technology companies.

That may accelerate a shift to new kinds of services, such as cloud computing and artificial

intelligence, said Raja Lahiri, partner at the Mumbai-based partner at consultancy Grant

Thornton India �The visa challenges are not going to go

away easily,� he said.

�They will continue to be a challenge for Indian IT companies.�

But while the pain for India will be acute, it will be Silicon Valley that may be most

impacted, as suddenly its favorite source of cheap, skilled labor is eliminated.

How it will responds remains to be seen.
