Fiji Tulou, China

Fujian Tulou are traditional rural dwellings native to the mountainous regions of Fujian Province in southeastern China. These large, circular or rectangular fortified buildings were built by the Hakka people and other communities from the 12th century onwards, primarily to serve as communal homes for multiple generations of a clan or extended family.

Tulou (meaning "earth structure") are designed for defensive purposes, with thick earthen walls made of rammed earth, wood, stone, and other materials, often several feet thick, making them impervious to attack.

The main characteristics of Fujian Tulou are:

1. Circular or rectangular shape

Most tulou are circular, but some are rectangular or square. These shapes create a courtyard in the middle, encouraging communal living.

2. Defensive design

Tulou were built to protect residents from bandits, with only small windows on the upper floors and a single fortified entrance.

3. Large capacity

Some tulou can accommodate hundreds of people and often include living quarters, storage areas and communal halls within the same structure.

4. Self-sustainability

Tulos often contain wells, farming plots and food storage, allowing residents to be self-sufficient during periods of long isolation.

In 2008, several sites of Fujian Tulou were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites for their unique architectural forms, cultural significance and historical importance.

They are an impressive example of how communities in ancient China adapted to their environment and fostered a strong sense of community and advocacy.

Whats happened is terrifying and if you feel like you need to leave the US and can here is a list of countries you can stay in without a visa while you get everything sorted out. Feel free to correct or add any information or resources. Note that Barbados only allows visa free entry for six months for citizens of countries within the Commonwealth of Nations which the US never joined.

The Marshall Islands - You can stay as long as you like with a US passport

Georgia - One year

Bermuda - Six months - Need a ticket for return or onward travel, to stay longer or work, study, travel for business or other reasons, you must meet the Bermudian government's entry requirements

Canada - Six months with a US passport

Mexico - 180 days. You'll receive a visa on arrival, authorities advise to avoid being detained or deported, you must complete an online Multiple Immigration Form (FMM) and obtain a QR code

Fiji - Four months - Authorities will issue a visa when you arrive, to get a visa on arrival, you must show proof of booked accommodation and a return ticket

St. Lucia - Six weeks - Must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond your date of country exit and with one blank visa page

If you want to move to Europe and move freely throughout certain countries then look into moving to one of the countries in The Schengen Area

Note: The Australian government is terrible with immigrants and will take a long time to get a visa here even if you hold a US passport (the wife one of my dads colleagues had to wait 10 years) there probably success stories but we are also fucked down here

Far from being eternal, pair-unions developed slowly and precariously over a long period of time. The right of safe passage into the community of cross-cousins was a signal advance over earlier fleeting encounters between the sexes in the forest. But there were still many hesitations, suspicions, and fears between the men of the two moieties, and these were reflected in the relations between the young men and old women.

This precarious situation can be seen more clearly in what is sometimes called the "institution of the visiting husband." In the earliest stage of matrimony the husband was little more than a visitor to his wife's community. He did not start out by occupying a separate house or hut with his wife; he was given accommodations in the male clubhouse reserved for strangers and visiting husbands. There under the surveillance of his wife's male kin he slept and took his meals. A survival of this ancient practice is noted by Webster:

‘In Samoa . . . the young men slept by themselves and received the visitors to the community. In the Fiji Islands at least two Bures-ni-sa, or strangers' houses, were found in every village. In them all the male population passed the night. "The women and girls sleep at home; and it is quite against Fijian etiquette for a husband to take his night's repose anywhere except at one of the public bures of his town or village, though he will go to his family soon after dawn."’ (Primitive Secret Societies, pp. 11-12)

According to some reports, when a visiting husband arrived at the village of his wife, he parked his weapons outside before entering. Others say that he did not immediately walk into the wife's community; he sat down at the outskirts and waited until one of his wife's kinsmen summoned him to the male clubhouse where he was given accommodations.

Thus before men achieved the status of full-fledged husbands, living and sleeping under the same roof with their wives, they passed through an interim period of history in which they were only part-time visitors. Briffault refers to them as "surreptitious" husbands, and to matrimony at this stage of its evolution as "clandestine marriage":

‘Even more extraordinary in the light of our notions than the position of the husband as a stranger, guest or visitor within the group to which his wife belongs is the fact that he is commonly a clandestine and surreptitious visitor. One of the Japanese words for marriage is "Home-iri," which may be interpreted "to slip by night into the house," and the expression accurately describes the mode of connubial intercourse among a large proportion of primitive peoples.

Among the Khasis "the husband came to his mother-in-law's home after dark only. . . . The Tipperah husband gains access to his wife's room like a burglar, and leaves it before dawn. Among the Yakut, the husband visits his wife in a similar manner after dark. . . . The Kuril never visit their wives publicly, "but steal to them privately in the night." Among the Tartars, the bride-groom likewise slips into the bride's house surreptitiously, and he is particularly careful not to be seen leaving it, for her male relatives are waiting, ready to administer a sound drubbing if they should happen to catch sight of him.’ (The Mothers, vol. I, pp. 513-14)

This indicates a certain advance on the part of the stranger seeking a bride; he has breached the "citadel," that is, the sector so carefully guarded because it is occupied by the older women and the children. He is now cohabiting with his wife, in the same sector and even under the same roof as that dangerous old witch, his mother-in-law. His chief concern now is to escape detection by his wife's male kinsmen. We learn from Briffault that often the mother-in-law herself acts as a "go-between" in the cause of love:

‘The Kirghis bridegroom is secretly introduced into the bride's chamber by the "go-between," and he must depart before dawn. . . . In Khorassan, it was the rule for the mother of the bride to introduce the bridegroom secretly into the house by the back door; the male relatives were not supposed to know anything of his visits, and he had to depart before dawn.’ (ibid., p. 514)

The fearsome old witch gradually became transformed into a proper mother-in-law, although she still remained a formidable figure, to be treated with great circumspection. This explains the curious remark made by an Australian aborigine which Radcliffe Brown reports as follows:

‘In its most extreme form there is complete avoidance of any social contact between a man and his mother-in-law. This avoidance must not be mistaken for a sign of hostility. One does, of course, if one is wise, avoid having too much to do with one's enemies, but that is quite a different matter. I once asked an Australian native why he had to avoid his mother-in-law, and his reply was, "Because she is my best friend in the world; she has given me my wife"’ (Structure and Function in Primitive Society, p. 92)

The Australian Tour Was Not A Success

This is one of Harry and the wife's constantly repeated lies.

The Australian Tour was a DISASTER.

Below are all the rumours from various sources that I have heard about their behaviour in Australia. I am sure there are more that I have not heard. Everything is "allegedly" until proven true or false, of course.

The tour was meant to be Harry attending the Invictus Games, like when royal family members come and attend the Commonwealth Games. He was meant to spend the majority of his time at the Invictus Games, not traipsing all over the country.

Meghan was a last minute inclusion, and the tour changed dramatically because of her.

The couple announced their "pregnancy" on International Pregnancy and Baby Loss Remembrance Day, after a week commemorating Pregnanacy and baby loss. That's right, at the culmination of this sensitive time, Meghan told all the grieving families "Sucks to be you, I'm pregnant!!!".

The Governor General of Australia and his wife and family live in Admiralty House. It is their home, like the President of the USA lives in the White House. Harry and Meghan were accommodated in the guest wing, as is usual for visiting guests. Meghan demanded the whole house for her and Harry, and when refused, told the wife of the Governor General "Don't you know who I am"?

When the couple visited Dubbo, Meghan had the Admiralty House staff stay up all night cooking banana bread for her to take according to her own recipe, rejecting batch after batch and demanding that they redo it. She then presented the bread as something that she had made herself. The final result was less than impressive (and probably tasted disgusting, in my opinion, going by what was said of the ingredients at the time).

Instead of spending all their time at the Invictus Games, Harry and his wife attended the first and last days. Meghan spent the whole time there at the first day complaining that she was bored.

Harry demanded that Meghan make a speech at the closing ceremony. That was not planned as part of the event. The couple's diva behaviour disgusted a lot of people.

For the rest of the tour, Meghan and Harry visited tourist spots, with an inbuilt crowd of tourists. Despite this, photos of the 'crowd' at those events usually had to be taken at close range, as long range would show the 'crowd' as a few people crammed into a small space and then lots of empty or sparsely filled spaces.

Meghan spent the entire tour sticking out her stomach to simulate a pregnancy bulge whenever she could. This is what first raised suspicions about the pregnancy.

Meghan spent a fair bit of the tour less than appropriately dressed for the occasion. She looked crumpled and untidy at all times, imo.

Meghan threw a cup of hot tea at an assistant during her time here. The palace paid the assistant a sum of money.

Harry went around Admiralty House repeatedly apologising for the behaviour of his wife (he was not yet lost to shame as he is now).

Harry and Meghan's behaviour was so bad that the palace sent Prince Andrew to Australia the month afterwards (Nov 2018) to apologise for their behaviour, on what was billed at a trip for Pitch @The Palace but was informally known as the "Apology Tour". Princess Beatrice accompanied him.

So much for a "successful" tour, right?

The press write up was sugared to the max and is not to be taken as an indication of anything other than them fawning over Harry and Meghan.

Feel free to add on any rumours that you have heard. I have not even attempted to cover their disgraceful behaviour in Tonga, Fiji and New Zealand.

Increase in Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Scheme Cap

Increase in Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Scheme Cap

November 7, 2024 The Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme, launched in October 2006 and implemented in April 2007, was created to help the horticulture and viticulture sectors fill seasonal roles with overseas workers when there aren’t enough New Zealand workers available. Increase in RSE Worker Limit The RSE scheme includes a yearly cap on the number of workers allowed. Initially, in 2007, it was set at 5,000; the limit cap has grown significantly since then in 2023-24 cap was 19,500.  New Cap for 2024–2025: Increased to 20,750 workers, up from 19,500 last season, an increase of 1250 Addresses employer demand while balancing New Zealand labour market needs and housing availability. This expansion meets the industry's demand for more workers while balancing the needs of the New Zealand labour market, anticipated workforce conditions, and housing availability. Worker Recruitment Employers (or their representatives) handle recruitment, visa processing, and travel arrangements for RSE workers. Only workers from specific eligible Pacific countries are recruited unless employers have pre-existing arrangements from before 2007. Eligible countries include Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, and others. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) collaborates closely with Pacific nations to support workers’ readiness in New Zealand. Worker Requirements RSE workers need to meet health and character requirements and show proof they will leave New Zealand at the end of their stay. They can stay in New Zealand for up to 7 months in any 11 months, with workers from Tuvalu and Kiribati eligible for up to 9 months due to travel distances. Employer Obligations Employers must apply to INZ for RSE status, demonstrating a strong financial position, solid HR practices, and a history of following immigration and employment laws. Employers are also expected to prioritise hiring and training New Zealanders in their industry. RSE workers must be paid a minimum of 30 hours per week, regardless of available work and at least the market rate for their jobs. Employment agreements must outline hourly rates, any piece rates, and minimum pay requirements. Employers must also pay for half of each worker’s return airfare (except for workers from Tuvalu and Kiribati). Worker Welfare and Accommodation RSE employers are responsible for providing suitable accommodation and facilities for their workers. Workers are expected to pay a fair rate for rent, utilities, and living expenses, and any deductions must be reasonable, verifiable, and only for actual costs. Since 2019, new rules limit the use of residential housing by RSE employers to reduce demand on public housing, with exceptions in regions where housing is less pressured. Review of the RSE Scheme The RSE scheme is undergoing a comprehensive review. The goal of the review is to establish policies that benefit both employers and workers, ensuring the scheme remains sustainable, protects workers’ rights, and encourages ethical employment practices.  Reference-  1.https://www.immigration.govt.nz/ 2.https://www.mbie.govt.nz/ About ICL Immigration ICL Immigration, based in Auckland, is an established licensed immigration adviser with over 20 years of experience and a remarkable 97% approval rate.
