Impact Investment | Blended Finance

  • – The world is undergoing one of the worst refugee crisis since World War II, and Jordan is one of the most affected countries both in absolute and relative terms
  • – While many humanitarian relief & infrastructure investment efforts exist, the funding ecosystem under-serves SMEs & entrepreneurs which cater to refugee needs
  • – The social impact investment component with a triple bottom-line impact is more than attainable in the refugee context, but until now little has been done outside the pure aid sphere
  • – Vehicle is needed to fill the void by institutionalising venture / SME investment & nurture entrepreneurship for one of the most vulnerable demographic segments
  • – Given the specifics of refugee finance, in particular if in a hybrid commercial effort, we are looking for interested parties to become cooperating partners in developing this initiative further…

Where is Iran's Uranium? Top Secret Leaked US Intel Says Core Nuclear Components 'Intact'

Where is Iran's Uranium? Top Secret Leaked US Intel Says Core Nuclear Components 'Intact' Update(1605ET): Where is Iran's Uranium? Truce Highlights Mystery Over Stockpile... that's Bloomberg's latest headline over the 'biggest mystery' that remains in the war. There's also the pressing question of whether Trump's massive airstrikes from B-2 bombers actually destroy the facilities and these stockpiles.  The Iranians aren't dumb, and likely took drastic steps to further protect, conceal, or likely move these enriched stockpiles - some 400kg according to most reports - as wave after wave of Israeli warplanes hit Iran, significantly before the US sent its bombers this past weekend. It appears core components are still intact - though Iran has long maintained it is merely for peaceful nuclear energy development.  The [...]

Illegal Immigrant Allegedly Aided By Wisconsin Judge Agrees To Plea Deal

Illegal Immigrant Allegedly Aided By Wisconsin Judge Agrees To Plea Deal Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times, The illegal immigrant whom Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is accused of helping evade arrest has accepted a plea deal in which he admitted to entering the United States illegally. Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz faces up to two years in prison and a $250,000 fine under the terms of a plea deal filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on June 23. He is also subject to one year of supervised release. The plea deal states that Flores-Ruiz has agreed to be deported after completing a federal prison sentence. According to the plea agreement, Flores-Ruiz first entered the United States [...]

Senate Parliamentarian Rejects 'Drill Baby Drill' Provisions In GOP Megabill

Senate Parliamentarian Rejects 'Drill Baby Drill' Provisions In GOP Megabill Update (1412ET): First it was the judges. Now Democrat Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough is shredding a ton of provisions in the Big Beautiful Bill - most recently a provision that automatically certifies offshore oil and gas projects as being compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act - skipping the environmental review process that was deemed not germane to the so-called 'Byrd Rule.'  The rule allows bills to pass via 'reconciliation,' or a simple majority in the Senate - otherwise they require 60 votes to advance. The Byrd Rule requires that reconciliation bills be related to the federal budget, revenue, and the national debt - and MacDonough has been having her way with it.  Other measures she tossed include a portion [...]

China Reportedly On Verge Of 100 DeepSeek-Like Breakthroughs Amid Aspirations For World Domination

China Reportedly On Verge Of 100 DeepSeek-Like Breakthroughs Amid Aspirations For World Domination China is preparing to launch a tsunami of domestic AI innovation, with more than 100 DeepSeek-like breakthroughs (more here) expected within the next 18 months, according to former PBOC Deputy Governor Zhu Min, as reported by Bloomberg. This development signals Beijing's intent to rapidly close the technological gap ahead of the 2030s.  Speaking at the World Economic Forum's "Annual Meeting of the New Champions" in Tianjin, China, Min told the audience that 100 DeepSeek-like breakthroughs "will fundamentally change the nature and the tech nature of the whole Chinese economy." The emergence of DeepSeek, a low-cost, powerful AI model, has fueled Chinese tech stocks and underscored China's AI competitiveness despite U.S. restrictions on advanced chips [...]

DOJ Accuses Biden-Appointed Judge Of 'Unprecedented Defiance' After Rejecting SCOTUS Ruling Allowing Deportations

DOJ Accuses Biden-Appointed Judge Of 'Unprecedented Defiance' After Rejecting SCOTUS Ruling Allowing Deportations Authored by Debra Heine via AmericanGreatness.com, The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday accused an activist Biden-appointed judge of engaging in a “lawless act of defiance” against a Supreme Court decision that came down on Monday. The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration may resume expedited deportations of criminal illegal aliens to countries other than their own. The 6-3 decision stayed U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy’s May 21 order blocking the administration’s attempt to deport a group of violent criminals to South Sudan. Late Monday night, Murphy issued an order blatantly defying that ruling.   Last Month, the Department of Homeland Security had conducted a deportation flight from Texas to South Sudan to remove what it [...]
