BREAKING: "Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble," per AFR
Iran’s flag carrier IranAir says India and Singapore have refused to issue license for the airline’s cargo flights to transfer 60-70 tons of medicine to Iran.
India has not even allowed IranAir to carry out that cargo with civilian flights.

What most people already understand, even without the economic terminology, is that firms like BlackRock operate less like investors and more like modern feudal landlords.
They buy essential infrastructure,water networks, ports, energy grids, data centres, and other public necessities, often using vast amounts of borrowed money and paying prices that ordinary market participants cannot match.
Once the acquisition is complete, the debt is pushed onto the acquired company itself.
The result is simple: the public pays.
Consumers repay that debt through higher water bills, rising energy prices, increased fees, and declining service quality.
The infrastructure becomes a cash-extraction machine.
Profits flow upward to shareholders and executives, while the financial burden flows downward to ordinary households.
When the model inevitably breaks down, the consequences are socialised. Communities are left with crumbling infrastructure, polluted rivers and failing services.
Thames Water's £14 billion debt mountain and repeated sewage scandals are a stark example of what happens when financial engineering takes precedence over public stewardship.
The executives who loaded the company with debt have already collected their bonuses.
The investors have already taken their returns.
And when the system finally reaches its breaking point, taxpayers are expected to pick up the bill.
Privatise the gains.
Socialise the losses.
That is the business model......
I am not putting up the 1,000 pictures of headless dead bodies, burnt bodies of children, and women who were raped and then killed, from my gallery in Manipur because ALL OF YOU WILL BE TRIGGERED. In fact, Bangladesh aur France ke violent logon ki bhi raaton ki neend ud jayegi aisi khatarnaak tasveerein INDIA me li hain maine 2023 se. Like those toxic fathers jo ghar me apni wives ko maarte hain aur baher bohot acchi image banake rakhte hain, waise hi ye sarkar andar desh kharaab karke, bass baher chavi sudharne me lagi hai, aur jo unhe unki WRONGDOINGS pe expose kare, unhe anti-national batane me lagi hai. Mujhe aapki political party ki chavi ki nahi, apne desh ke logon ki padi hai, isliye ye likh rahi hun.
Jo log France-Bangladesh kar rahe hain naa, let me tell you, as a journalist who has spent the last three years in Manipur, that India crossed all levels of violence, brutality and security breakdown under BJP rule LONG, LONG BACK. France-Bangladesh don't even come close to what has happened in our own backyard.
Only because it has happened in Manipur, which nobody cares about, and the BJP has done a wonderful job of keeping mainstream media away, it has been easy to hide and ignore.
You want to talk violence? LET'S TALK VIOLENCE.
Women and children have been killed in the most brutal ways, in ways that even Hitler could not have imagined. I have covered children who were trained to use assault rifles. Civilians have thrown bombs (state-owned ammunition) at each other. And insurgents who were supposed to have ceased to exist have crossed over and been given weapons to wage a WAR.
Till today, violence is at its peak in Manipur, and the UNION HOME MINISTRY AND THE BJP GOVERNMENT HAVE COLOSSALLY FAILED TO STOP IT.
Forget stopping the violence. Children are living near gutters, and the govt hasn't been able to do anything for them. CENTRE BJP. STATE BJP. "Double Engine".
So what the fuck is your logic? And I'm sorry for using this language, but I'm sick of this fucking drama.
I have said this before, and I'll say it again.. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT COMPARE OUR KIDS, OUR CITIZENS, WITH FRANCE, BANGLADESH OR WHATEVER.
Agar unhe violence karna hota, toh unke paas bohot time tha aur bohot janta thi July 20 se pehle. Par naa kisi ka wo intention tha aur naa hi kabhi bhi hoga. Ye sikhaya hai hume Indian values ne. Indian democracy ne. NO VIOLENCE and we're all proud of it. Hum sabne dekha violence kisne shuru kiya aur kis hadd tak pahunchaya July 20 ko. Ek mahine se upar shanti se baithne ke baad, acchi education maangne ke baad, 12 baccho ke marne ke baad, ek bhi sarkar ka aadmi nahi aaya tab tak, jab tak baccho ke muh pe PELLET nahi chala di.
Don't know about our citizens, but our current politicians are 100% inspired by some of the most brutal leadership the world has ever seen. Bachchon ke muh pe bomb phenkne ki himmat rakhte hain ye log, if it comes to saving their power. I AM SAYING THIS ON RECORD because I have seen Manipur and what they have done there.
Jo apne khud ke bachchon ke muh ke upar pellet chala sakte hain, Manipur ke bachchon ko bhaad mein jaane de sakte hain, WO KYA DESHPREM KI BAAT KAR RAHE HAIN aur doosron ko jhoothi narratives ke basis par defame kar rahe hain!
Each word I have written, I stand by with evidence. Aap ho sakta hai mujhse agree nahi karte, mujhe pasand nahi karte, woh sab alag baatein hain. Par dil pe haath rakh ke ek baar sochiye ki maine kya galat bola.
A good rule of history: if you find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you're wrong. Every time, in every era, whatever the issue.
Mumbai police is house arresting students now. some of them in civilian clothes. talking horribly and not giving any reason for the house arrest. at their private residences.
Soviet Union collapsed because no one was prepared to challenge the establishment from the inside and everyone inside had to keep cheerleading that the Soviet Union was powerful and successful. Anyone on the outside could see it was collapsing very rapidly.
The US is doing precisely what that Soviet Union did. Those inside the system will not challenge the establishment either becasue they are thoroughly brainwashed or out of fear of being cancelled and thrown to the wolves. Everyone inside the establishment continues to cheerlead the notion that the US empire is here to stay, exceptionalism reigns supreme, the dollar can't be challenged, we are the greatest military and economic / financial power in the world. Anyone looking in from the outside knows this is utter nonsense.
Rather like even the day before the Soviet Union collapsed the delusional cheerleading continued, the same will also happen in the US. In both cases they didn't and won't see the writing on the wall, 24 hours before it is officially over.
I’d you’re shocked at the damage in France to an old town hall you’ll be horrified to hear what’s happened to the beautiful old buildings and heritage of the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans
Congratulations dear Indians!
You have been contributing to nation-building once again, without being informed, and of course paying the same price for it too :)
