Starlink has an Indian license, 20 ground stations on Indian soil, and a promise to keep Indian user data in India. What it doesn't have is permission to switch on. Thousands of Indian villages still have no 4G. In the Northeast alone, more than 1,800 had no mobile signal of any kind as of February, most of them in Arunachal Pradesh. These are the places satellite internet is built for: mountain villages, islands, flood zones, anywhere a tower or a fiber line takes years and a lot of money to arrive. Starlink has done what India asked. It got its telecom license in June 2025 and space regulator approval a month later. It built India-specific security controls, agreed to keep data local, and has been reporting the names, addresses and coordinates of its test terminals to the government every two weeks. It operates in more than 150 countries. In India it still can't sell a single subscription, and the company is now talking about early 2027. New Delhi says nobody is being singled out, since Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio's satellite venture are stuck at the same stage. I believe that, and I don't think it helps. When three licensed operators, two of them backed by India's biggest telecom groups, can't clear security review after more than a year of trials, that tells you the process has no deadline. It doesn't tell you it's thorough. The security concerns are real. Indian agencies have been rattled by smuggled terminals turning up in border areas, and India is entitled to lawful interception, local data storage and an emergency shutoff. Starlink has already signed up for all of it. The answer to a misused terminal is enforcement, not keeping the service dark for everyone who would use it legally. Elon Musk has been blunt, calling the delay "a crime against the people of India" and asking, "Is Ambani the real boss of India?" You don't need to buy the whole oligarch theory to see his point. Reliance spent months lobbying for spectrum auctions that would have favored deep-pocketed incumbents. The government sided with Starlink on that one, which is to its credit. Now it needs to finish the job. India can keep every security power it wants and still let a kid in Arunachal get online. Right now it's choosing not to.

Russia is a complete distraction to the fact that Ukraine is a giant money laundering operation, and the war has provided windfalls for the military industrial complex in both the US, Europe and Ukraine. Those profiting from the ongoing war don't want their spring to dry up, which is what would happen if Russia takes full control of the Donbass region. Not to mention the fact that many rare earth element resources exist in that area. Petrovsk, now under Russian control, was after all the only source of coking coal, used in arms manufacture, for Europe.

GATES MOSQUITO NETS WRECKED AFRICA'S FISHERIES Galante's account of an aid effort gone wrong. The Gates Foundation, he says, handed out millions of mosquito nets to fight malaria in the Zambezi Valley — a region whose delta is a nursery for the fish that feed millions. But the locals, who manage malaria their own way, used the fine-mesh nets to fish — scooping up the tiny baby fish that hold the whole population up. The result, in his telling: a collapsed fishery and new hunger, "all because they were trying to help.

TMZ's Harvey Levin thinks it's heartbreaking that Fauci is being picked on. You know what's really heartbreaking? Beagles' heads trapped with sandflies for experiments, which happened and was funded under Fauci.

Old pub on the corner is a Somali cafe now, Nizan Cafe. Same story all over this town, another coffee shop, another shop, ownership just keeps shifting Somali. You watch this happen street by street and eventually the whole high street's changed hands without anyone voting on it.

I’ve been noticing a pattern in Ukraine supporters in Europe in that many of them are actual closeted Nazis from Germany who hate Slavs and see Ukraine (or at least Galicia) as being of Germanic, whom they’d consider “Aryan”, and not Slavic stock.
