A 32-year-old man in Pennsylvania posted a video on YouTube this week where he picked up a clear plastic bag containing the severed head of his father and held it in front of the camera.

“This is the head of Mike Mohn, a federal employee of over 20 years, and my father,” Justin Mohn said in the now-deleted video reviewed by WIRED. “He is now in hell for eternity as a traitor to his country.”

Over the course of the next 14 minutes, he ranted about a myriad of far-right talking points and conspiracies including Black Lives Matter, taxes, the LGBTQ community, and the Biden administration. He also urged viewers to kill all federal employees and seize federal offices, while railing against “far-left woke mobs.” He claimed to be the head of an American militia network known as Mohn’s Militia. “I am now officially the acting president of America under martial law,” he said.

But there was one issue that he focused on more than any other: migrants along the southern US border.

“The federal government of America has declared war on the American citizens and the American states,” the man says. “America will be less protected when the fifth column of illegal immigrants strikes Americans on our own soil.”

He also made demands that the US close its borders to immigrants and for “the mass deportation of the millions of illegal immigrants who have entered the country under the Biden regime, which has put Americans in direct harm.”

Over the past few weeks, right-wing rhetoric around a so-called migrant invasion reached new heights as the standoff between Texas governor Greg Abbott and President Joe Biden’s administration over the removal of razor wire on the Texas-Mexico border has continued. A convoy of far-right extremists is driving to the border and Republican politicians around the country have come out in support of Abbott.

Multiple researchers tell WIRED that the events and rhetoric surrounding the Texas-Mexico border could be linked to the violent video Mohn posted this week. This border controversy and the incendiary rhetoric surrounding it appeared to be something that deeply angered Mohn, highlighted by his YouTube video and the rest of his extensive online footprint of books, pamphlets, music and social media posts, many of which are steeped in far-right conspiracies. In a 2020 essay entitled “America’s Coming Bloody Revolution,” Mohn claims a violent revolution against the government is not only necessary but will succeed.

“For individuals in this conspiratorial mindset who have been subjected to countless hours of extremist narratives and grievances, every new flashpoint—from the Texas border crisis to the Israel/Hamas war to Taylor Swift—is evidence that their worldview is the reality,” Jon Lewis, a research fellow with the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, tells WIRED. “This act of violence represents the threat posed by mainstreaming hateful and dehumanizing rhetoric.”

“I listened to his diatribe about 20 times to write it all out and there is zero doubt in my mind that he was influenced by the recent events involving Texas,” Caroline Orr, a behavioral scientist and postdoctoral researcher at the University of Maryland who tracks extremism online, wrote on X. “This was expected and there will be others.”

Investigators have not mentioned a motive for the alleged decapitation, but Mohn was formally charged early Wednesday morning with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and possession of an instrument of crime with intent. Police said in a statement posted to Facebook that they were alerted to the incident when Mohn’s mother called 911 and said she had come home to find her husband’s decapitated body on the floor of their bathroom. Mohn was arrested 100 miles away on Tuesday evening when he was discovered armed and wandering around a Pennsylvania National Guard training center at Fort Indiantown Gap, AP reported.

Multiple experts believe that extremism and conspiracy theories could still be at the root of what happened. “Some have been quick to write Mohn off as mentally unwell and while this may be accurate, this incident illustrates the threat of anti-government extremism and conspiracy theories, which have become all too common since the 2020 election,” Katherine Kenealy, the head of threat analysis at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, tells WIRED. “He was so steeped in anti-government beliefs that he not only viewed his father as a ‘traitor’ because of his purported job, but selected him as a target because of it.”

Following the alleged murder, far-right figures immediately began boosting conspiracies about the beheading being a false flag in favor of the Democrats—something that has virtually become a reflex action among far-right figures following major news.

One of the main narratives shared was a claim that the Democrats were behind the incident as a way of boosting support for the Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity bill currently making its way through Congress. One of those pushing this narrative was Laura Loomer, a close ally of former president Donald Trump.

“Justin Mohn sure looks like the perfect Democrat Patsy for the sake of demonizing people who call out the invasion on the border, and for the sake of getting support to ban militia,” Loomer wrote on X, adding: “Just another ‘coincidence.’”

“False flag and ‘psyop’ conspiracy theories have rapidly spread online since the incident,” Kenealy tells WIRED. “These narratives detract from the severity of the incident and attempt to minimize the threat posed by anti-government ideologies.”

But despite a long history of Mohn expressing his disturbing views on platforms like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, as well as publishing music on YouTube, Spotify, and Deezer, experts say that it would have been virtually impossible to identify him as a threat before his alleged beheading of this father this week.

“It’s more or less impossible to track this stuff in advance most of the time,” Orr tells WIRED. “We can make an educated guess about what will happen when politicians are putting out inflammatory rhetoric that has incited violence previously, but it’s extremely hard to identify who is going to be the one who responds to the ‘call.’”

As the convoy heads toward the border and rallies are organized in Eagle Pass, Texas, Republican lawmakers, including former president Donald Trump, continue to push violent rhetoric. These kinds of actions, experts say, could lead to potential violence.

“It's hard to determine when acts of violence like this will occur, but given the panic being spread about the border, it's highly likely that more will act on these narratives,” Samantha Kutner, an extremism researcher and CEO of counter-terrorism company GlitterPill, tells WIRED. “Not everyone who gets exposed to conspiratorial worldviews and beliefs and theories about the border wall engages in violence, but the proliferation of disinformation and conspiracy theories does impact certain subsets of the population who are perhaps more vulnerable to that messaging than others.”

Congrats on the new mattress! Would you be willing to share the brand for a fellow Old who also has an unkind bed?

Aha, it's this one:

They have three different styles (basic, premier, and Premium TM), and because I had a bit of spare income from the Exam Grading Marathon (this was indeed my primary motivation for doing it this year), I splurged and got the top-of-the-line Premium version, which is the link above. This is also an ideal time for doing so if you are so tempted and/or have a little cash on hand, because they are still running the 4th of July sale wherein all the mattresses are half off. As such, I got a luxury mattress normally priced at $2.4k for like, $1.3k including tax (shipping was free, which was nice). The lower tiers also start at around $600, which is pretty reasonable for a mattress tbh. But if you can afford to have a bit of a splurge, then I feel like a mattress is something worth paying more for if you can. So yes.

There is a bit of leeriness involved in buying a mattress online when you haven't had the chance to test-drive it in a showroom, but I will say that I also briefly had the same concern (i.e. whether it would work if I hadn't been able to test it in-person beforehand) and mine is REALLY nice. I am a tall person with back pain, and that sucker is so comfortable. It is really thick and cushy on top, but it also has good support, and it does feel like a cloud. I got a full, which is SO big and thick that I will probably have to order queen-sized bedding at least, because the full-sized sheets barely fit. I got the hybrid (springs + memory foam) version, since I am someone who needs that lumbar support, baby, and as a stomach and/or back sleeper, it was super comfy for me in both positions.

The mattress is hefty (95 pounds...) though they manage to vacuum-pack and roll that sumbitch up real tight for shipping, and if you might need help hauling it around or moving it up stairs etc, that is something to consider. Fortunately, my apartment is on the first floor so I could mostly haul it around myself, but it was still a workout getting it on the frame. As noted, I would probably order sheets a size up from whatever mattress size you end up getting, because it's Chunky. But thus far, I am extremely pleased and look forward to doing more extensive quality testing this weekend. Ahem.

The reason I keep stressing that The Problem Is Capitalism isn't because I think we should all just give up on doing damage control with the worst of the ways new tech is abused and wait until Capitalism Gets Overthrown and solves all our problems; I think that's an incredibly stupid strategy for anything and damage control matters a lot-

I keep stressing it because ~98% of the proposed "solutions" are at best time-honored losing bets (e.g., "unmake these technological advances! Shove those worms back in the can NOW!") and at worst actively making things worse (agreeing with corporations that use of new tech is Mindless Unskilled Labor not even worth minimum wage) or even indulging in blatant trad and/or fascist ideology abstracted by the computer (if you have accepted the premise that degenerate art is a real thing and a great replacement is possible, you are headed for some DARK places even if you truly believe you're not fighting any human - you're already dehumanizing the people operating the "robot" you hate so much by extension).

We don't need copyright to devastate transformative art, we don't need to shove worms back in a can, and we DEFINITELY don't need to attack random hobbyists as Fake Artists; we need unions and automation taxes. We don't need to clamor for Real Art over Degenerate Art, we need to recognize the work involved in art that's been devalued for decades. We need to, for example, stop shitting on CGI because it's "lazy" and start shitting on the conditions that MAKE it unfairly cheaper than practical effects - i.e., corporate greed combined with the idea that the computer just does it for you and CGI is a cop-out rather than an art that we've been hearing since 1982; we need to push for VFX artists to unionize and recognize them as artists. We need improved unemployment protection as a foot in the door that can be upgraded into UBI, paid for with said automation taxes. We need online privacy protections so we have more control over who has access to personal things in the first place, as far as we can have privacy in a public space at all, and we need to undo Facebook culture and start remembering, and reminding others, that public websites ARE public.

Does it suck that the easy way out is anywhere from impotent to actively detrimental? Yes. Does the fact that it sucks suddenly make it untrue? No!

i've seen the part in your bio saying you donate to feminist organisations so i'm just gonna ask you this, but do you maybe know any list of good feminist organisations or know anyone on here who put something like that together? i've been working my first real adult job for a bit and feel like i'm at a point now where i can put my money where my mouth is so to say, but i don't even know where to start. i don't want to donate to any places that do more harm than good

Hi! So I donate to people in my country generally speaking and I don't really keep track of other countries stuff. I will however make a list on how to decide if an organisation is worthy of your money or not. But in general to anyone reading this:

Before you start donating be sure to be financially stable. As in: you do have savings and disposable income.

Please be sure that the amount of money you decide to donate is actually... susteinable. No, donating the majority of your disposable income is not a good idea or a sustainable one.

I donate between 1 and 5% if my income, sometimes I don't when I do have too much expenses, sometimes when I see the org that gave me my cat Fetcher I hand them 50€ in cash(again, i can afford it, if you struggle to pay your bills don't) just because they are the best.

To anon in particular, about checking if the organisation is legit:

In certain countries publishing the year balance sheet. If you know how to read it, that's a good start: it shows where the money comes from and where it goes;

Read the organisation statute. Every association should have one: it basically says what the organisation is there for and what the values are. Do these sit right with you? Are they too vague? Are they too specific?

In what kind of activities do they engage? Is there proof of that? As in social media posts etc?

It's also fine if you send a mail asking where the donation money will go. Most charities will give you a detailed list;

Was there any controversies (in particular aroung the management of money) around that charities? If so, what was about them?

In general, do an extensive research if you want to support an organisation for a long time. Online you can find more complete lists of suggestions about this. Transparency is fundamental about everything. I also tend to avoid charities that rely on guilt tripping or emotional manipulation or... well, they are good people but clearly have no idea on what they are doing. Like when I see shelters spending money to give pets acupunture, just no, but that's me.

Also, in some countries money spent to join an organisation or donated can be written off your taxes by a certain amount.

Hey, this is for my west-of-the-mountains PNW folks!

As they have for the last several years The Carbon Capture Foundation (TCCF) is offering free bare root native tree seedlings this fall for folks wanting to increase tree cover on their property. Primarily four species will be provided: Douglas fir, western red cedar, black cottonwood, and red alder. However if other species are needed, that may be possible by special arrangement. Generally the limit per household is 240 seedlings per year, but this limit may be exceeded by arrangement with TCCF. Pickup will be in southwest Washington near Longview.

Tree recipients are responsible for making arrangements to plant their seedlings and maintaining them. WSU and OSU Extension Foresters are available to help with questions online, by phone and sometimes in person. Also materials on seedling planting, care and maintenance will be provided by TCCF when you pick up the seedlings.

The only limitations for receiving the free seedlings is that they cannot be used for commercial purposes, for replanting areas you have had logged, or for planting areas that you have to plant to keep your ground as forest land for tax purposes. For planting purposes these trees should generally be planted about 12 feet apart. And cedars are best planted in areas that tend to be wet or close to wet areas. With our current drought conditions cedars are struggling to survive in dry areas that they formerly did well in.

Interested? Contact TCCF president Norm Dick at (360) 751-3142, or norm(at)thecarboncapturefoundation(dot)org

BPP can you explain anything about what this UMG partnership might mean? I’m seeing some interesting conversation or some vague comments about it but it’s all going over my head a little bit.

***

Hi Anon,

The deal is simply an extension and expansion of the distribution deal HYBE has had with Universal Music Group (UMG) since 2021, which itself was an extension and expansion of the deal BigHit had with UMG Japan since 2017. The expanded scope in this latest deal includes the allowance for UMG artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish, to access and use the Weverse platform the way k-pop and HYBE-affiliated artists do now.

I've talked about this being the business case for Western artists using the Weverse platform on my blog before, here. So, none of this should be new or unexpected to anybody even marginally cognizant of how HYBE has been doing business since inception.

I saw your ask come in weeks ago, during the height of the hysteria around the UMG deal, and made it a point to not respond back then. Partly because I hope hindsight, now that everything has died down, better clearly shows just how ridiculous all of that fearmongering was.

Now, I'm about to say something technically controversial, but (as usual) it's what I think. I believe what's happening in online spaces right now all over the globe, is the (anti-)Jewish equivalent of the Red Scare. That's why the extension of a distribution deal that already existed, resulted in mass hysteria in a fandom filled with people who by all appearances are old enough to earn a salary and pay taxes. Regardless of how noble the cause, a lot of people are well past the point of no return in terms of the conspiracies they are ingesting as gospel. It's not exclusive to fandom spaces, like I said this is happening in online platforms all over. But fandoms are a pressurized environment and so it happens quicker in fandom spaces, even more so in a k-pop fandom where there already exists the latent expectation that k-pop idols and companies exist to cater to your every whim. It's the flip side of the parasocial contract between k-pop stans and the idols they feel entitled to.

I said this weeks ago, but I've checked out of this particular discourse. It took me some time to hear what the sides have to say, to see how they act, and to decide for myself what makes sense to me. None of it does, and so I've checked out.

Stream Neuron.

I am flying to athens tomorrow for a couple of days and I need to pack my bag, but I also have to send some documents to the tax office before I leave OR ELSE, but because their fucking interactive pdf with the forms doesn't work with basically any browser/viewer except for internet explorer (what the fuck, but also I'm not surprised in the least) I have to print it and then go to the post office.

but.

of course my printer is useless, and it's my fault for procrastinating three months replacing the damn cartridges, so I need to go to a xero point.

but I also should buy a tap extension replacement bc it broke off yesterday and now washing the dishes means you also wash yourself bc the splash is so strong. and that shop is in the opposite direction to the xero point.

and my flatmate asked me to buy her some stuff while getting the replacement.

and I have to sit down and puzzle out how to fill out the damn tax form, bc I've only ever done the simplified version online.

and we're going to watch Dune 2 today at 7pm.

and I ordered a pizza for breakfast/the rest of the day to get that out of the way, but the waiting time turned out longer than anticipated and I can feel almost physically the window of opportunity to get the hell up and go to the xero point closing with every passing minute I'm waiting for the pizza.

I AM DROWNING IN EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION.

#nothing important #/rant #long post #I just need to scream a bit #I did turn on the washing machine at least while waiting for the delivery so that's something

A legal adviser to the European Court of Justice has argued a ruling allowing Apple to avoid paying €13bn (£11bn) in back taxes should be overturned.

The move is the latest in the long-running saga between the EU, the US tech giant and the Irish government.

Three years ago, a ruling which found Apple had been given illegal tax breaks by the Irish government was overturned.

But Advocate General Giovanni Pitruzzella at the Court of Justice said the case should be reviewed again.

He argued a series of legal errors had been made and the ruling in Apple's favour had failed "to assess correctly the substance and consequences of certain methodological errors that, according to the Commission decision, vitiated the tax rulings".

The legal opinion is not a final verdict and is non-binding, but the court does tend to agree with such opinions in the majority of cases.

In response to the latest twist, an Apple spokesman said that the initial ruling allowing the firm to avoid paying back taxes was "very clear that Apple received no selective advantage and no state aid".

"We believe that should be upheld," they added.

Amazon v EU: Has the online giant met its match?

Apple has €13bn Irish tax bill overturned

In 2016, the European Commission decided Apple had received unfair preferential treatment from the Irish government, allowing it to pay a much lower rate of tax than other companies.

The Commission said this constituted illegal aid given to Apple by the Irish state.

The affair became a symbol of the Commission's efforts to clamp down on what it saw as massive tax avoidance by multinational giants.

The Irish government has argued that Apple should not have to repay the back taxes, deeming that its loss was worth it to make the country an attractive home for large companies.

Ireland, which has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU, is Apple's base for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Although corporation tax rates for businesses are set nationally, and are not subject to the EU's jurisdiction, the trade bloc does have extensive powers to regulate state aid and in this case, it argued that by applying very low tax rates to Apple, Ireland was granting it an unfair subsidy.

Two years ago, the lower court, known as the General Court, ruled that the European Commission's decision that Apple should pay back taxes was legally flawed and should be set aside, but that ruling itself could now be overturned after the latest twist.

Record Store Victory Tour 2022.

They say that once in a while you should treat yourself. It’s not often I do. After nine months of stay-at-home recovery, I promised myself that, when I was in a better place emotionally and monetarily, I would. So I had a wild idea. I decided to do something for myself I’ve never done before: an island-wide ‘record-store victory tour’. It consisted of hitting up each and every music store I could and buy as many vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs I could.

It started when I received my third paycheck of the month, my tax refund, a monthly store bonus, and our company giving us full-timers an extra $1,000 from national tax breaks and major donations. It was 2018 and the timing was right. I was in a much better place than I was 10 years before and for the first time in a long time I was feeling great.

It was intense and exhausting, but I loved it. It felt great getting back into doing what I loved doing the most; visiting a record store and spending as much as I wanted to on anything and everything I was a fan of or read about. I chased the excitement of finding artists, albums, and sounds I always meant to take home with me and get the most bang for the buck as possible. It became one of the largest excesses of individualism I’ve ever done for myself and I was all the happy for it. In the end, I spent no more than $1,500.00 on 280+ titles across eleven stores. I had fun doing it, and I told myself that if I could, I’d do it again.

It’s now 2022, and a new record-store tour was way overdue.

I missed the days where I’d get lost in the hunt and have the outside world fall behind me if only for a few hours. I never forgot the fascination of discovering those gems I waited years for and feeling surprised in finding the unexpected. In fact, those feelings never left me. I’m the same way now as I was then. I neglected myself for so long that I had to come back. And I did.

I’d return to all the stops I made last year. Gone are the ones who receded to online selling, and good riddance to the over-priced locations who’d scam anyone for three to four times the price. They would never get my attention from me. I even added a few new locations and then some. From the east end of Long Island to (now) some of Brooklyn and Manhattan’s most appealing stores, this year’s tour would be more extensive than the last - and the most expensive.

I knew I was better off financially than I was four years ago. I had way more in the bank than expected so I knew I could spend and feel guilt-free without the consequences or buyer’s remorse. You cannot even begin to imagine how much I laid out. Chances are it’s more than you ever want to.

And with money comes things I’d ultimately learn about this -tour. I no longer buy blindly and have Discogs at my hip. I’d discover specific albums and remembered searching through certain sections that changed the course of the visit. I’d revisit my Atari / Nintendo childhood via 7” and 12”s and also my alternative days when I told myself all the artists and albums I’ve once dismissed were actually OK. I even quit and cashed it in when I wasn’t feeling a store’s selection. Conversely, I’d go all-in and spend on genres and artists I felt I missed out on, plus insisting on giving my dealers a little extra for free records to keep them in business. That is what you call appreciation.

I’d tell myself to be patient and take all the time in the world for what I loved doing: staying in touch with myself. I’d build up my identity, to score style points, and separate myself from all the other vanilla people around me who “been there, done that”. Each and every record, tape, and disc I’d buy would be a beacon for me to shine on those who want to relate. They would all be ammunition for future playlists, broadcasts, and back-and-forth discussions on who-knows-what and what they don’t know.

In the end, I felt complete. I bought everything I wanted and did it all with no regrets. It’s the ultimate in self-care and the biggest favor I’ve ever done for myself.

Would I do this again? There’s always a shooting star’s possibility. I got it out of my system and things like these take a few years before I have a renewed urge to go for it. For now, there’s lots of titles I know I’ll never find in stores that I’ll find online. Should you ever have the chance to go all out and do a victory tour, do it. Do something guilt-free and with no regrets. Build yourself up, cross boundaries, take chances, and experience something that will stay with you forever. I promise you’ll be glad you did.

The Domain-Name problem

China gets a lot of hate for sectioning off the rest of the internet from their people. But that's probably one of the things they got right .

When the internet hit a global scale, China reasonably thought "we should have our local stuff more readibly accessible to our local people" after-all, what use is driving directions to an individually owned diner in Vermont to somebody in Xinagsheng?

China created their own internet, which to the internet is just a very large intranet.

The reason for this is because the base internet design really only benefited the U.S., and didn't take into account fiberoptic wires under the ocean to communicate with other countries.

We can see it in effect today with IP4 vs IP6. Where the use still uses the IP4 standard and the rest of the world is forced onto IP6. (Internet address Protocol)

Domain Names (www.address.com) only turn an IP-Address into something human readable. And again we see the same paradigms; U.S. first, and then a country designator at the end (co.jp, co.de...

The (www) part is the sub-domain, or part of the same network as the domain, just a different machine (usually, not always).

Now, the .com, .net, org was originally supposed to mean (commercial), (network), and (organization). But as we've seen: didn't mean much to actual usage... Now they're just random extensions we don't care what they mean anymore.

And there's a problem; parsing out a domain name could be as complex as

Sub.sub2.domain.co.jp vs sub.domain.com vs domain.org: which part indicates what is local on the server? And which part indicates what the infrastructure(internet routers) should use to direct traffic? There isn't a set standard here.

What this means to me is that we should rethink how we split up the internet. In order to allow users to visit hosts from other countries*and* allow foreigners to see (but not necessarily interact with) local social media.

And how can we tell which websites are operating effectively doing operations for multiple countries? Like Amazon. Country tax laws can't tell.

I get the feeling Elon Musk would be very sad about the development after his very large purchase.

For the interest of National Security and World-Wide-Economic prosperity.

There are even large amounts of data used in search engines and AI to infer local area around the user, that could be clarified via a change in systems.

Think about our area codes for phone numbers and zip codes for mail. We don't have them online. I think we need them.

If not simply to increase the speed of the internet.

ISRAEL REALTIME — war updates 19:45 Oct. 23

— HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION? An Israeli source confirms: Qatar is working significantly to bring about a hostage deal with Hamas. (Yaron Avraham, N12). The White House spokesman for national security affairs, John Kirby, refused to answer the question about negotiations with Qatar on the release of additional abductees. Kirby said of the abductees: "Hamas should release all the abductees.”

— FOREIGN HOSTAGES TO BE RELEASED? A site “BahaNews” wrote, A number of foreign hostages who have been reportedly held by Hamas since October 7 are expected to be released "within hours," sources told Al Arabiya on Monday. ((I could not find this on the Al Arabiya English web site.))

Earlier today, The New York Times reported, citing information from an unnamed Israeli official, that the Palestinian genocidal group might release an additional 50 hostages with dual citizenship following extensive discussions between the United States and Qatar.

— AN ECONOMIST CORRECTS… a reader who is an economist wrote, “Higher interest rates keep the sheqel strong as you said. BUT that KEEPS PRICES FROM GOING UP! You wrote the opposite.” Does it lock in the current pricing, keeping it from getting worse? “Yes. And higher interest also makes borrowing dearer. Economics is a weird thing.”

— TAX AUTHORITY… Some reporting and payments may be delayed until March 31, 2024. The decision was made due to the war. Contact the authority.

— NORWAY THREATENS… The Norwegian Foreign Minister stated that Norway is "ready to assist in the investigation of war crimes in Israel and Gaza”.

— POLITICS… Chairman of the Labor Party, MK Merav Michaeli: "Netanyahu needs to be replaced immediately. Not tomorrow and not after the campaign - immediately. Not only is it possible - it is necessary"

— KIRYAT GAT, RELATIVELY CLOSE TO GAZA… is gradually bringing back classes in kindergartens and elementary schools in the city. The daycare centers and kindergartens will open on Wednesday in an emergency format and the elementary schools will open tomorrow, also in an emergency format. High schools will continue to operate online only.

— PLANS AND PERMISSION FOR HORROR (gruesome warning)… The IDF published excerpts from an interrogation conducted with a Hamas terrorist who participated in the attack on Kibbutz Alumim and was captured by the security forces. During the investigation, the terrorist revealed that the terrorists received permission to commit atrocities, including religious legal instruction: "The plan was to go from house to house, from room to room, throw grenades and kill everyone, including women and children." The terrorist also confessed that Hamas approved abusing bodies and even dismembering them. (N12 Nir Debori)

Subsidiary Company Registration in India: A Comprehensive Guide by Masllp

Setting up a subsidiary company in India has become an increasingly attractive option for foreign businesses seeking to expand into one of the world's fastest-growing economies. Whether you're a multinational corporation or a small business looking to tap into the Indian market, registering a subsidiary company in India offers numerous benefits. In this guide, we'll explore the process, benefits, and key considerations for subsidiary company registration in India, with expert insights from Masllp. Why Register a Subsidiary Company in India? India's booming economy, large consumer base, and favorable business environment make it an ideal location for foreign businesses to establish a subsidiary. Here are some compelling reasons to consider subsidiary company registration in India:

Access to a Growing Market: India is one of the largest markets in the world, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion. This vast consumer base offers tremendous opportunities for growth and expansion.

Favorable Investment Policies: The Indian government has implemented several reforms to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). These policies provide various incentives, including tax benefits and easier regulatory procedures.

Limited Liability Protection: A subsidiary company in India operates as a separate legal entity, offering limited liability protection to the parent company. This means that the parent company's assets are protected in the event of any liabilities incurred by the subsidiary.

Operational Flexibility: A subsidiary in India can operate independently, allowing the parent company to maintain control while benefiting from local expertise and resources.

The Process of Subsidiary Company Registration in India The process of registering a subsidiary company in India involves several steps. While it may seem complex, partnering with experts like Masllp can streamline the process and ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

Choosing the Right Business Structure: The first step is to decide on the type of subsidiary company you wish to establish. The most common types are:

Private Limited Company: The most preferred structure for foreign businesses, offering limited liability and ease of management.

Public Limited Company: Suitable for larger businesses planning to raise capital through public offerings.

Branch Office: An extension of the parent company, suitable for companies looking to explore the market without establishing a separate legal entity.

Obtaining Digital Signatures (DSC) and Director Identification Numbers (DIN): The directors of the subsidiary must obtain DSC and DIN, which are essential for filing online documents with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Name Approval: The next step is to reserve a unique name for the subsidiary company. This is done by submitting an application to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

Drafting Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA): These documents outline the objectives, rules, and regulations of the subsidiary company. They must be drafted and submitted along with the registration application.

Filing the Registration Application: The final step involves submitting the registration application to the ROC, along with the necessary documents and fees. Once approved, the ROC issues a Certificate of Incorporation, officially recognizing the subsidiary company.

Key Considerations for Subsidiary Company Registration in India Before proceeding with subsidiary company registration, there are a few critical factors to keep in mind:

Compliance Requirements: Subsidiary companies in India must adhere to various compliance requirements, including annual filings, tax obligations, and audits. Partnering with experts like Masllp ensures that your subsidiary remains compliant with all legal requirements.

Taxation: Understanding the tax implications of operating a subsidiary in India is crucial. Subsidiaries are subject to corporate tax, GST, and other local taxes. Masllp can provide guidance on tax planning and optimization strategies.

Local Partnerships: Establishing partnerships with local businesses or consultants can provide valuable insights into the Indian market and help navigate regulatory challenges.

Cultural and Language Differences: Understanding the cultural and linguistic nuances of the Indian market is essential for successful business operations. Investing in local talent and resources can bridge these gaps.

How Masllp Can Help with Subsidiary Company Registration in India Navigating the complex process of subsidiary company registration in India requires expertise and local knowledge. Masllp offers comprehensive services to guide foreign businesses through every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience. Our services include:
