🇵🇰🇮🇱 A peace negotiation in Switzerland allegedly came within inches of becoming an international assassination crisis.
Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar claims Pakistani military intelligence intercepted a Mossad plan to assassinate Army Chief Asim Munir during the talks, then sent Israel a message with zero room for creative interpretation.
"If you touch our delegation, we're going to wipe you off the map, period."
This one never made the headlines. Now you know why.

JD Vance:
I have joked that I have two very, very important people in my life.
An Indian and a Pakistani.
The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Munir.
Breaking down US statement, that marks an escalation over the issue of 3 Indian seafarers being killed by US Navy, here's what it says:
1. Vessels must comply with US orders (Why?)
2. US forces are seeking to uphold peace and security( By shooting unarmed ships?)
3. In the Strait (But US ships are in the Gulf of Oman)
4. Violations of US Blockade ( which have been many)
5. Illicit transport of Iranian oil (Not according to international law, and US sanctions are only punitive economically)
6. Won't be tolerated (Regardless of loss of lives, or contravening international law)
Awaiting MEA response.

Watched this woman destroy an innocent girls life while reading her WhatsApp Messages on the news. For ratings. Had her call me anti-national on the news for speaking about women’s safety. For ratings. Now she’s ‘concerned’ about women. For ratings. Give me a break. That’s my take.
Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

I’m sorry this marketing is so fucking tired. I feel like you have to be a certain age or emotional IQ to get excited about it. Taylor’s become so boring. And I used to love & praise her branding & marketing…
Exclusive : Pakistan is spending crores in Washington to rebrand itself. A country globally known for sheltering and Exporting terror groups has now hired a U.S. lobbying firm whose CEO is a former Republican Congressman to influence the White House, Congress, Pentagon, media, think tanks and corporate networks.
According to a copy of the agreement accessed by us, the lobbying firm will:
1. Clean Pakistan’s terror-tainted image
2. Arrange meetings with White House and Pentagon officials
3. Influence U.S. Congress members and key congressional committees on defence, trade and foreign policy
4. Organise receptions, roundtables and closed-door policy discussions between U.S. Congress members, staff of key U.S. ministries and Pakistani officials at Pakistan’s Embassy in Washington
5. Coordinate Pakistan trips for American lawmakers and congressional staff, while briefing U.S. lawmakers before their visits to shape the “ground narrative”
6. Push pro-Pakistan articles, commentary and media narratives by influencing editorial boards of U.S. media houses
7. Build influence inside powerful U.S. political caucuses
8. Lobby to protect Pakistan’s “Major Non-NATO Ally” status
9. Monitor Leahy Law and human rights-related sanctions risks arising from abuses by the Pakistan Army in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan
10. Present Pakistan as a “counter-terrorism” and “regional stability” partner despite its terror history, while portraying Afghanistan as the villain
Sources say that through this lobbying infrastructure, Pakistan may also:
a. Push anti-India narratives in Washington
b. Influence U.S. lawmakers on Kashmir and “human rights”
c. Shape narratives around the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) and pressure India to resume talks with Pakistan
Islamabad will spend nearly ₹11 crore INR over two years on this influence operation.
@HelleLyngSvends Why you never talk about the democracy of this country
1. China
2. North Korea
3. Pakistan
4. Iran
5. Saudi Arabia
6. Afganistan
Why you never raise your voice for these country people

👉 Speculation and rumours suggesting that the Government is planning to introduce monetisation scheme for Gold held by temple trusts, or any religious institution, across the country are completely false, misleading and without any basis
