No. The 42% claim for Indian girls sexually assaulted as children traces to a 2007 MWCD government study (UNICEF-supported) widely cited in graphics. It found 53% of children reported *some form* of sexual abuse under a broad definition (inappropriate touching, exposure, etc.). Only 5.7% reported actual sexual assault. Girls were around 47% in the abused group.
Recent estimates (global studies, NFHS) put severe childhood sexual violence lower, though underreporting is real everywhere. Definitions and methodology drive the high numbers.
Everybody knows Japanese money is returning home.
But most people still don’t understand why Japan had the ability to finance the world for decades, and why that system is now reversing.
Japan’s long period of deflatinory pressure allowed the Bank of Japan to keep interest rates near zero without immediately creating domestic inflation.
At the same time, Japan had enormous household savings, pension assets, insurance money and corporate surpluses.
The result was a unique combination:
Huge capital pool, but almost no return available at home.
So Japanese money was pushed overseas into US Treasuries, European bonds, global equities, property and infrastructure.
Global speculators also borrowed yen at almost zero cost and invested it in higher-yielding assets elsewhere.
This is how Japan became one of the biggest hidden funding engines behind global leverage, asset inflation and suppressed volatility.
But the foundation of that system is now changing.
Deflation has ended. Inflation has returned. Wages are rising, import costs are hurting households, and the weak yen is becoming politically and economically expensive.
The Bank of Japan can no longer keep rates near zero forever without continuously weakening the currency and reducing the purchasing power of its own people.
At the same time, Japanese bond yields are becoming attractive again.
For the first time in decades, Japanese institutions can earn a meaningful return at home without taking foreign currency risk.
That is why the money is returning.
Not because Japan suddenly became patriotic, but because the economic conditions that forced its capital abroad are disappearing.
The real risk is much larger than Japan selling a few foreign bonds.
It is the reversal of the cheap-yen system that funded global carry trades, leverage and financial asset inflation for decades.
The world was built around Japanese money leaving.
Now it must adjust to Japanese money coming back.
In short, The American Strategy in the Middle East is this:
1. America has too much debt. China has become too powerful.
2. That debt needs a new way to be fed with fresh natural resources (Oil, Gold, rare earths, minerals, etc).
3. The debt cannot be fed without securing a new source of natural resources... this needs to be priced in USD Currency so that the currency does not collapse.
4. Iran has an economy stuck in 1979, +92M educated potential consumers, sits on TRILLIONS of dollars in natural resources, controls a critical landmass 1/6th the size of USA called "EURASIA", and is actively aligned with Russia & China to bypass America's First, Second and Third Chain containment around China... and all of this is controlled by some Shia mullahs who also do not like the American presence in the Middle East. In short, Iran has everything America NEEDS and WANTS.
5. America, American institutions and the USD Currency NEEDS those resources at a massive discount, something near to free, and the only way anyone gives anything free is through an invasion or by compelling them. America needs to acquire and to cancel everything in point 4 above.
6. American institutions will pay with the blood of some of its soldiers, in order to ensure that the American economy does not collapse, that the USD does not disappear, and that poverty and misery is exported so that the America can survive another 100+ years.
7. It literally did not matter whether it was MAGA Trump, Sleepy Biden, Harris, or Marco Rubio, this war was going to happen because the debt of the USA and its thirst for new fresh resources must be fed or it will turn the USA's USD into toilet paper.
8. Yes, Israel is part of American's National Security Strategy 2025, which is meant to make Israel in charge of the Middle East, and this strategy also cannot be implemented as Iran is standing in the way.
9. Trump, the administration and everyone connected will of course make Billions off of this war as well.
10. All Arab governments are in agreement with the fact the IRGC, Axis of Resistance, Unity of Arenas and the Islamic Republic (of Iran), needs to be subjugated. The Arab street has a different opinion but their opinion does not matter in this equation, at all.

JAPAN JUST DECLARED WAR ON THE US TREASURY MARKET.
Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said the government wants pension funds, including GPIF, the world's largest pension fund, to make substantially greater investments in Japanese assets instead of foreign ones.
GPIF manages $1.8 trillion. About $930 billion of that sits in the portion officials are now discussing.
Over the past decade, GPIF bought $210 billion more in foreign bonds than in Japanese debt.
Japanese investors already sold $29.6 billion of US Treasuries in the first quarter of 2026.
After Katayama's comments, the yen strengthened and Japan's 10-year bond yield fell 7 basis points in a single session, the largest JGB rally in almost two years.
The Bank of Japan also raised interest rates 25 basis points this week, adding further incentive for capital to stay in Japan instead of flowing abroad.
Goldman Sachs called this shift a slow burn, not a fire sale, since large funds like GPIF move in stages and still have to hit return targets.
But the direction is set.
After decades of funding foreign markets, including the US, Japan is now working to keep that capital at home.
Do U.S. soldiers not know that when things go BOOM nearby, you should immediately hit the dirt? I truly don't understand why people are still running around on foot after the first strikes, unless this isn't real video (which is always possible these days). Anybody know if this is real or AI?
🇺🇸🇮🇶 BREAKING: U.S.-based HKN Energy has announced it is suspending all operations in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region due to the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran.
HKN Energy is one of the largest foreign operators in the Kurdistan Region’s oil sector, with major investments in the Sarsang oil field in Duhok Province. The company has been producing tens of thousands of barrels of oil per day and plays a significant role in the region’s energy exports and economy.
US issues EMERGENCY WORLDWIDE SECURITY ALERT for Americans
Situation ‘COMPLEX’ with ‘potential for UNFORESEEN ESCALATION’
‘Iran may target other US interests overseas… THROUGHOUT THE WORLD’
“Wildfires” are ravaging Norway right now.
This is almost unprecedented.
Why does every western country that sanctions Israel experience a “natural disaster” shortly after?
