NOISE: Non-Administration Foreign Policy and International News

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore this category entirely and focus attention on the week's substantive events: the election seizure executive order draft, FBI ballot seizures in Fulton County, and federal lawsuits against states for voter information.
Why This Score
This is routine international news coverage with zero Trump administration policy involvement or institutional impact on U.S. democratic systems. Venezuelan opposition movements, Sikh activism in Canada, and Argentina's legislative session are standard foreign affairs reporting with no mechanism connecting them to U.S. governance harm. The event passes all noise gate criteria: A<25, null mechanism, no institutional lever, no downstream U.S. constitutional impact.
