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…

The John Lewis Ad Isn't Wrong About Britain Authored by Lee Taylor via The Daily Sceptic,Strip away the Sam Fender cover and the talking dog, and the commercial message of this year's John Lewis advert is simple. If your grandchildren are rude, bored, and only interested in cash, go to John Lewis. It took Saatchi and Saatchi three minutes and a Dame to make the most woke version yet.We've been up and down with John Lewis over the years. Monty the Penguin made the country cry in 2014, and so did Man on the Moon a year later. Then it wandered. A few years of forgettable short films. Then last year looked like the recovery: a teenage boy, his father and a vinyl record, and not [...]
Rule Of Law Is Quietly Eroding Across Europe, Even In The Nordics Rule-of-law scores fell in 26 of the 40 European countries with comparable data between 2021 and 2026, and the four Nordic leaders were among them: Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden each lost ground, according to a Visual Capitalist ranking built on the World Justice Project's latest index.It is not only a European problem. The WJP's 2026 index, released October 21, covers 143 countries and found declines outnumbering improvements for the ninth straight year, 62% to 38%. The group said the drop in its measure of constraints on government powers was driven by weaker non-governmental checks, and that judicial limits on government power fell in 63% of countries.Inside Europe, Russia fell 0.062 points to [...]
The Globalists Just Came Out Of Hiding For A Secretive Summit In China Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.usOver the past several months I’ve been covering some of strange changes in behavior of globalist institutions. Specifically, just before the 2024 elections in the US, the elites seemed to go “radio silent” when compared to their bravado in the pandemic era. For a brief moment in time the mask came off completely, and then they tried to put it back on.Sadly, most people tend to have short memories, but through the majority of Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency the Davos crowd was absolutely frenetic with activity. The World Economic Forum and all orbiting think tanks were crowing about covid and how “this was the moment” that they [...]
Iran Weathering The Storm, But Saudi Arabia Is Sinking By Brian McGlinchey via Stark RealitiesWhile the disastrous US-Israeli attempt to impose regime change on Iran has commanded the world’s attention, most people are oblivious to the rising probability that regime change is instead coming to a major US and Israeli partner: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Owing to financial strains, demographics, military failures, and simmering domestic discontent, it may only be a question of magnitude. That is, will Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) be removed by fellow members of the House of Saud, or will the 94-year-old kingdom collapse altogether? Most likely, we’ll see both things happen in fairly rapid succession.To understand why Saudi Arabia is in danger of falling apart, it’s important to first [...]
Trump's 'Doomsday Plane' Left Nebraska And Flew East Across America - Nobody Is Saying Why The Air Force's E-4B "Nightwatch," the airborne command post built to run a nuclear war, took off from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska on Thursday and flew east across the Midwest on a mission nobody has explained. A rendering of an E-4C Survivable Airborne Operations Center. Credit: Sierra Nevada Corp. Flight-tracking data reviewed by the Daily Mail shows the jet crossing Illinois and Indiana into Ohio, where it was tracked at about 2:41 p.m. Eastern at 31,000 feet and a ground speed of 573 knots, roughly 660 mph. It then turned south over northern Virginia, west of Washington. The tracking images listed no destination, and the route alone does [...]
