BC CORRUPTION
Saved by @Alex1Powell

Kenyans are dying because of corruption in the health-care sector. Today, I focus on a little-known "Billionaire" and insurance cartel, James Olubayi and the heists he has pulled mostly in the public sector! THREAD

 To start with, James Olubayi is known as a Stauch Christian and a church elder but even Osama worshipped.
James Olubayi is among the first Kenyan actuarial fellows and the head of an insurance cartel in Kenya, He once worked for Government.
James Olubayi owns pioneer through a proxy his brother being in the board
James Olubayi operates as a scammer and moonlights government parastatals and institutions influencing tenders.
James Olubayi’s Modus Operandi involves calling, sponsoring media stories and even using state agencies to fight competitors.
Olubayi has pocketed the Retirement Benefits Authority and uses the Authority to fight competitors.
Olubayi has been laundering his money into the real-estate sector just like other thieves stealing from the public and private sector.
At one time, it was revealed that his briefcase company, retirement schemes administrator, Zamara was among those companies that were being favoured in a Kenya Pipeline deal.
At the same time, they built a Ksh. 400 Million Mall with money looted from Kenya pipeline https://t.co/nFuwp0oIOL
James Olubayi's companies evade taxes, in shocking figures
Interestingly, James Olubayi doubles up as UBA Bank Chairman
At UBA Bank, Olubai has masterminded many scandals and was among the key personalities that forced Isaac Mwige, the chief executive of UBA Kenya, to leave the bank after four years on the job.
The bank has always been in the news for loans it advanced to companies that later defaulted after a mix of losses, heavy debt burden and mismanagement.
UBA is among a group of banks that advanced loans to Nakumatt Holdings, Uchumi Supermarkets and Deacons East Africa. All defaulted on their loans and later collapsed or gone into administration.
As the chair of UBA bank, Olubai should have resigned but being a hard-core criminal, Olubai knows how to shift blame to others and act like a saved man yet he is a white-collar corporate thief.
But we digress...
A brief on how he looted from Kenya Pipeline.
In April 2019, the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) invited firms to bid for the provision of insurance brokerage services for 3 years.
Olubayi arm-twisted KPC management, which has widely been exposed as corrupt, to shortlist some few firms including his, Zamara, for the Sh200 million tender.
The billionaire thief Olubayi colluded with KPC managers to raise the threshold for turnover for bidding firms to Sh500 million in order to lock others out.
Zamara is said to have been in a tight financial position, a debt to the tune of Sh125 million when the KPC deal mentioned above was hatched.
Then boom! They build a mall...
Olubayi’s shadow control has also infiltrated NHIF where the national health insurer plays to his tune.

Good propaganda piece by #CNN
Being given diamonds is totally ok, it is "only tax evasion", not corruption, which is a "dirtier" word.

Equating a word with negative connotations with another less negative is a classic tactic of propagandists.
It draws a parallel between them.
Works the other way too.
Guilt by association, it can work with pictures side by side.
Works similar to

Starting the article with, "this thing you didn't know about" is a way to "suggest" to you that the following "bad thing" isn't as bad as you think.
Because if you "didn't know" about the first thing you should have doubt about this other thing "you thought you knew".

Cutting up the information about the story to "inject" an emotional state about something else, is to guide the emotion that was created by the first part of the story towards [x] and move it to something else [y].
re: all the crazy evil things Trump did, in middle of this story

Now the seeds of doubt have been planted and your emotion is redirected away from the subject of the story, we make the comparison between diamonds and tax, when you are in this emotional state the comparison is easier to suggest, this article is misdirection + programming.

Corruption doesn't start at the public purse. It starts at the basic idea that people can be stupidly rich from no work of their own, but of others.

So until we deal with the monstrosity of the title deed, we will not fundamentally address corruption in Kenya.

That system of stealing people's work starts with the title deed.

What is a title deed? It is not the land. It is the legitimacy of her majesty the queen to own and decide what happens with land.

When someone has a title deed, they are saying that the queen has allowed them to use that land mentioned in the deed, and that the queen is committed to using force to validate that deed.

The problem is, who gave the queen the authority to guarantee use of the land?

The only way she got is is through stealth. Or what others politely call "enclosure."

What is an enclosure, and why is it a form of corruption?

Imagine we are that romantic non-colonized village that our elites like to con us about. We live next to a forest. The forest provides our food, fuel, building materials and trade. And through our culture and rituals, we replenish the forest, hold it sacred and protect it.

@TuckerCarlson made a fine argument for mass arrests and military occupation. Because once the courts abdicate their authority that's all what is left.

Understand the man has wartime powers and the Insurrection Act in his back pocket.

🚨A deep dive into David Perdue.🚨

Why exactly is Perdue corrupt?

Perdue’s criminality goes WAY back.

Grab a coffee, strap in, and enjoy the rabbit hole.🐰

David Perdue is set to face Jon Ossoff in the Jan 5th runoff for 1 of the 2 Georgia senate seats.

The GA Sen race was close:
- Perdue: 49.7%
- Ossoff: 47.9%

With <100 000 votes being the difference.

Also: @ossoff was right. Let's find out why Perdue cowered out of the debates.


Perdue is insanely rich, with most of his wealth being in his investment profile. It's important to note that Perdue has multiple LLCs he conducts business and investments through.

Most of Ossoff's net worth is from his media company.


Important:

Here’s a snapshot of the companies Perdue directed or owned prior to becoming Senator.

The numbers correspond to different key companies/organizations, which are of significant importance to this thread.

Note: "Present" in the pic is Oct 31, 2013.


To make it easier, I divide this thread into three sections:

1) Before Perdue’s Senate tenure (Pre Jan the 3rd 2015).
2) Senate tenure ( Jan the 3rd 2015 till Jan 2020).
3) Coronavirus period (Jan 2020 till 9th of Dec).

SRI BANKEY BIHARI JI, VRINDAVAN (UP)

Very famous Krishna Mandir where Bankey Bihari Ji is worshipped and looked after as a child.
Bankey means “Bent at three places”.
Thakur Ji was worshipped in Nidhivan till 1863. This mandir was constructed in 1864 by Goswamis.
@LostTemple7


Legend says that Swami Haridas used to worship Krishna in Nidhivan.
Once, his curious disciples entered the forest but they were almost blinded by bright, intense light. Upon knowing this, Swamiji himself went there and after his requests, Krishna appeared with his consort.


Krishna, then, left back this black charming murti,which we see now, before disappearing.
A curtain is drawn before the murti after every 15-30 second. It is said that if one stares long enough into the eyes of Shri Banke Bihari, the person would lose his self consciousness.


Bankey Bihari Ji sports a flute only once a year on the eve of Sharad Purnima.
Darshan of His lotus feet can be done only on Akshay Tritiya every year.
There are no loud bells here and
no early morning Darshan can be done so that child Krishna’s sleep is not disturbed.

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.

Demystifying Ghazwa-e-Hind. A #thread.

A recent video of Shoaid Akhter surfaced in social media creating a lot of controversy where the #Pakistani Cricketer can be seen suggesting invasion of India by using the term Ghazwa-e-Hind.
Radicalization of sportsmen seen off late
(1/10)


Some radical Islamic preachers believes that Ghazwa-e-Hind means a “Holy War against India”. As per this irrational & profane concept, there will be a fierce battle to secure victory over #India.
#Kashmir

#Pakistan-based terror groups, like JeM have been using Ghazwa-e-Hind as a Hadith to recruit, fund and justify its terror strikes as a religious holy war against #India.
#Kashmir

Some machiavellian people claim it is a prophecy that Muslim warriors will wage war against the #India.
Jaish & others falsely propagate that Jihad against India is considered holy in Islam & that those participating in it will be granted an easy entry into paradise.
(4/10)


However prolific scholars says that this is a made-up interpretation of some verse in The Holy Quran to mislead the gullible youth of #Pakistan into picking up arms and fighting its Army's personal battle against #India.

fascinated by this man, mario cortellucci, and his outsized influence on ontario and GTA politics. cortellucci, who lives in vaughan and ran as a far-right candidate for the italian senate back in 2018 - is a major ford donor...


his name might sound familiar because the new cortellucci vaughan hospital at mackenzie health, the one doug ford has been touting lately as a covid-centric facility, is named after him and his family

but his name also pops up in a LOT of other ford projects. for instance - he controls the long term lease on big parts of toronto's portlands... where doug ford once proposed building an nfl stadium and monorail... https://t.co/weOMJ51bVF


cortellucci, who is a developer, also owns a large chunk of the greenbelt. doug ford's desire to develop the greenbelt has been

and late last year he rolled back the mandate of conservation authorities there, prompting the resignations of several members of the greenbelt advisory

Technical Analysis Masterclass- Part 2

'Entering the trade'

Entering a trade without ascertaining a certain things is gambling.

In this masterclass we will learn the pre-requisites to enter a trade.

DON'T ENTER A TRADE WITHOUT DETERMINNG THE FOLLOWING.

Please share.

We understand what reward to risk (popularly called risk to reward) is.
It will be denoted by R:R.

We will also try to bust a few myths about R:R and how to avoid losing trades.

Before entering a trade, you need to determine 3 things.

1. Entry trigger
2. Stop loss
3. Target

1. Entry trigger = Reasons for entering a trade. There could be multiple reasons or a single reason for entry.

Generally a set of reasons AKA confluence is a higher probability trade and a generally a safer entry.

Example of an entry trigger.


2. Stop Loss.

The price in the opposite direction of the trade where the trade is exited, at a loss.

At this level, the reason for the entry becomes invalidated according to TA and the price can then move in the opposite direction, probabilistically.


3. Target is the possible price level that the asset might touch based on previous trends or confluence AND where a possible reversal could occur.

Target is the next path of least resistance from where the price might reverse.

We will always ONLY use TA to determine all 3.
