@TheYemiKing Occupied Palestine?

[Yemi King @TheYemiKing]

Guess the country he was selling Germany out to.

Just guess

They all knew.

But it was required.

@Mfatiamh03 @2brightforyou Sindh is not doing any favor by providing gas to factories in Karachi, they charge in full, along with dozens of taxes.

[roh @2brightforyou]

Bhai your list has OGDCL and Mari in it, both HQ in Islamabad lol. They don't even pay in Karachi. Lucky Core makes its soda ash in Khewra and its fibre in Sheikhupura, thats Punjab. Crescent Bahuman is in Pindi Bhattian, Punjab. PPL's main field is Sui, Balochistan. So the HQ effect you're crying about mostly pulls money in from Punjab, KP and Balochistan, not "other parts of Sindh".

And I actually checked the top 100 exporters by where their plants physically are, not where the head office is. 44 of them have plants in Karachi, 32 make everything in Karachi. Korangi, Landhi and KEPZ alone have 19 of them, SITE has 12, Port Qasim 7. How many produce in interior Sindh without a Karachi plant? 7. Seven out of a hundred. In the top 10, six make everything in Karachi. Artistic Milliners alone runs 17 units in Korangi and Landhi, then Gul Ahmed, Soorty, Yunus, AGI and Liberty.

And the HQ thing works both ways, Nishat keeps an office in Karachi but makes everything in Punjab. Faisalabad's chamber even counted Gul Ahmed as a Faisalabad exporter when every single Gul Ahmed mill is in Karachi lol.

And it's not just exporters. North Karachi has 4500 industrial units, SITE 3500 factories, Korangi 4000+, and Bin Qasim has Toyota, Suzuki, Nestle and Engro Polymer. That's 12000+ factories in four zones, before you even count FB Area and Landhi. Karachi's chamber has around 17000 direct members, biggest in the country. HBL alone runs from Karachi with 20000+ staff. These aren't one floor offices HQ.

So yeah, Karachi paid 45% of Pakistan's entire direct tax last year, Rs2.54 trillion out of Rs5.71 trillion. LTO Karachi alone was 30.74% of all FBR revenue, nearly double Lahore's 17%. One Karachi tax office, RTO-II, collected Rs154 billion in salary tax and Rs131 billion of that was private sector employees working here. North Karachi's industrial area alone pays around Rs9 billion a year. Meanwhile Sindh's entire farmland paid about Rs1 billion in income tax.

The IDF came into my replies to try & boost their fake report accusing Palestinian journalists they murdered of being Hamas. But when @piersmorgan invited them to debate the so-called evidence with me, they didn't show up so... he empty-chaired them. And then I debunked their 'study'.

Full show, including my debate with two Israeli propagandists: https://t.co/W37cIlVg2a

Pakistan bears region's biggest poverty burden-World Bank

The World Bank said on Tuesday that nearly half of the Middle East and North African region's poor people earning less than $3 a day live in Pakistan and poverty in the country increased due to prolonged economic adjustment that weakened real household incomes and employment opportunities. https://t.co/AdWFnRkL2Q

The United 175 hijackers passed through the single checkpoint in Logan Terminal C, operated by Huntleigh USA (contracted by United). Huntleigh was a subsidiary of ICTS International N.V., founded in 1982 by former Shin Bet and El Al security personnel.

That’s about 20 Epstein whistleblowers who have now ‘died by suicide’.

Absolutely nothing suspicious about that at all…

Hey @grok, concise, no spin.

Which is the only flight in modern aviation history to plunge for ~30 seconds in a way that appeared to BREAK THE LAWS OF PHYSICS, not disintegrate, and have a passenger effortlessly take control of the aircraft?

Airline and flight number only.

[Grok @grok]

Yes. Multiple reports (Kan, Times of Israel, NYT) confirm ~100 Commando Brigade troops, deployed as holiday bolstering near Gaza (not routine border units), were moved to Huwara in the West Bank two days earlier. IDF stated routine Gaza forces were unchanged. Separately, Nova organizers relocated the festival to the Re'im site ~5 km from the border about two days prior after the original southern venue fell through.

@RabbiJeffx Yes. In 2017 Frankfurt, Jewish woman Irina A. claimed sexual assault by a foreigner "sex mob" on New Year's Eve. Police found zero evidence, confirmed she was not even in the city, and charged her with false reporting.

محمد بروہی 19 سال سے کاریں چوری کرکے بلوچستان بھیج رہا تھا۔ 18 سال سے پیپلزپارٹی کی حکومت ہے۔ یہ سارا کام وہ اکیلا نہیں کررہا تھا۔ یقیننا سندھ پولیس اور عدالتوں کا آشیرواد تھا تبھی 7 بار گرفتار ہونے کے بعد رہا ہوا۔
سندھ میں کوئی جرم ہو اور پیپلزپارٹی شریک جرم نہ ہو اب ایسا تو کسی کتاب میں نہیں لکھا۔

@giabakka @IDF You question based on one questionable video, which could be AI or staged, but overlook thousands of videos of violence and destruction imposed upon people who had nothing to do with October attacks.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Horrific. Heartbreaking. Inexcusable.

[Zulfiqar Ahmed 🤔 @ZulfiqarAhmed69]

Any particular reason why these institutions have to have retired army officers as their top boss.
It is a serious question without getting roasted by the TIGERS.
When Mohsin Naqi says that institutions are not working in the country, does he include these institutions as well.
