🌱 Bill Gates thinks climate change is still a serious problem, but says it's time to focus on fighting poverty and preventing disease.

📝It’s amazing how AI came along with its massive energy needs and in a blink they just dropped the ‘climate' grift and instead of wind and solar, are now pursuing nuclear energy, which they were fighting to ban just 5 years ago.

Climate was a massive money grab by creating fake demand for an "energy transition".

Turns out China already cornered the supply of clean energy tech and AI capex follows real demand so might as well grift off that instead.

🚨🇵🇰🚀 - Pakistan successfully conducted hypersonic missile test earlier today in Baluchistan.

Early-morning missile test activity over Pakistan produced bright spiral formations visible across southern and central regions. The launch appeared to involve a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) or medium/long-range missile test.

🇺🇸 USAF RC-135S Cobra Ball (61-2662) was airborne over the North Arabian Sea during the event. ✈️

Pakistan issued NOTAMs few days ago for missile tests.

🇮🇳 Indian citizen, Bankim Brahmbhatt scammed BlackRock and BNP Paribas out of 552.6 million $ to fund a fake private equity fund, Carriox Capital

Brahmbhatt ran Carriox Capital, a New York telecom financing outfit that convinced BlackRock's HPS Investment Partners and BNP Paribas to lend him $552.6 million. The entire deal was built on one claim: he had legitimate receivables from T-Mobile, Telstra, BICS, Telecom Italia Sparkle, and Taiwan Mobile backing the loans.​

None of it was real. Brahmbhatt forged contracts that appeared to be signed by representatives from these carriers. He created fake invoices supposedly issued by these companies claiming they owed Carriox money. Then he spoofed email addresses mimicking these carriers' real domains and sent fake verification emails to make the receivables look legitimate. By stacking these fabricated invoices on top of each other, he created what looked like $500+ million in collateral. The lenders saw assets and funded the deal without catching any of it.​​

Here's where it gets embarrassing. When HPS and BNP Paribas finally tried to verify these receivables by actually calling T-Mobile, the carrier said they had no idea what Carriox was talking about. No contracts. No invoices. Nothing existed. One phone call would have instantly revealed the entire fraud. These are supposed to be institutional-grade lenders with world-class risk management. Yet somehow they missed basic due diligence.​

While all this was happening, Brahmbhatt's people were also stealing cash. Whenever payments came through the lender-controlled collection accounts, instead of applying those funds to the debt, they diverted the money offshore. So he wasn't just fabricating collateral. He was stealing actual cash flows in real time.​

Lenders sued in August 2025 and froze all assets. Carriox filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with $500 million to $1 billion in liabilities and basically zero assets remaining. HPS is sitting on $552.6 million in losses with nothing to recover against.​

The kicker is BlackRock acquired HPS for $12 billion in July 2025 specifically to expand into private credit and get access to its $148 billion platform. Within 90 days of closing that deal, they're holding a half-billion dollar fraud loss on receivables that HPS supposedly vetted and monitored.​

That's not just a bad deal. That's a massive question mark about whether one of the world's largest asset managers actually has the infrastructure to verify complex collateral in modern lending markets. If BlackRock's $12 trillion asset management machine can miss $500+ million in forged documents and fake invoices, what else are they missing? This is the systemic risk that should concern everyone.

🇺🇸🌎❌🏴💊 — On October 29, 2025, US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth announced US SOUTHCOM conducted strikes against a Narcoterrorist organization's vessels in Eastern Pacific, eliminating 4x sicarios at once:

Earlier today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on yet another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific.

This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel—and killed—during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

The Western Hemisphere is no longer a safe haven for narco-terrorists bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans. The Department of War will continue to hunt them down and eliminate them wherever they operate.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian troops have conquered all of Pokrovsk city south of the railway line and have infiltrated all of the neighbourhoods north of the railway line.

The first Russian DRGs have reached the town of Gryshino to the northwest.

The Russian troops at Pokrovsk’s outskirts are less than a kilometer (<0.8 miles) from closing the pocket and trapping somewhere between 500 to 3000 Ukrainian troops.

Zelensky and Syrsky could have made a gradual withdrawal in September from the cities and save the lives of their soldiers but they didn’t want Western newspapers reporting on the fall of Pokrovsk and Myrnograd which would have lowered faith from Western investors.

Even with the catastrophic shortages of manpower, Zelensky and Syrsky still treat their men as expendable and sabotage any and all initiatives of peace negotiations.

🇺🇸❌🇻🇪🇻🇪 — One minute before midnight? The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States government is now considering striking Venezuelan military targets used for drug trafficking, especially the divisions of CEOFANB.

➡️ WSJ reports that the Trump administration has identified targets in Venezuela that include military facilities used to smuggle drugs, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. If President Trump decides to move forward with airstrikes, they said, the targets would send a clear message to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro that it is time to step down.

📝 While the president hasn’t made a final decision on ordering land strikes, the officials said a potential air campaign would focus on targets that sit at the nexus of the drug gangs and the Maduro regime. Trump and his senior aides have been particularly focused on unsettling Maduro as the U.S. military has attacked boats allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean.

🪖 The potential targets under consideration include ports and airports controlled by the military that are allegedly used to traffic drugs, including naval facilities and airstrips, according to one of the officials.

➡️ Air attacks on targets inside Venezuela would mark a significant escalation of the campaign, which has until now been limited to airstrikes on alleged drug boats.

🇺🇸❌🇻🇪🇻🇪 — Miami Herald reports that U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela in escalation against Maduro regime

➡️ The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel.

➡️ The planned attacks, also reported by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime.

➡️ Sources told the Herald that the targets — which could be struck by air in a matter of days or even hours — also aim to decapitate the cartel’s hierarchy. U.S. officials believe the cartel exports around 500 tons of cocaine yearly, split between Europe and the United States.
