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.

@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.

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.

🚨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).

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.

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991." https://t.co/DAEgchNyTP


OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.

SRI THIRUNARAYANA PERUMAL, MELKOTE (KAR)

Known as Dakshin Badri, Thiru Narayanapuram is one of the four famous Swayambu Kshetrams, the other three being Srirangam, Kanchipuram and Tirupati.
The presiding diety is Cheluva Narayana Swamy/ Selva Pillai/ Rama Priyan.


Once, Sri Rama gave his aradhana murthi of Sri Ranganatha, to Raja Vibhishana on his request. So he was left without a murthi for his daily pujas. Brahma is said to have provided the murti of Selva Pillai to Rama who later passed this on to his sons, Lava and Kusa.


When Kusa’s daughter married a Yadava prince, this murthi moved to the lunar dynasty from solar.

It is said that the utsav murthi got the name Selva Pillai due to Sri Ramanuja.
Once, a Sultan took away this murthi and Sri Ramanuja went in its search to the Sultan’s palace.

What Happened To Bhakt Prahlad after Hiranyakashipu Vadh
#Thread
Prahlada became the mighty king of the Asuras after Shri Narsimha killed Hiranyakashipu. Prahlada was even more powerful than his father, Hiranyakashipu ever was. He enjoyed the love and respect of his subjects.


By virtue of his good behaviour, Prahlada conquered the three worlds easily and Indra ran away from the Heavens. Indra then deceived Prahlada into giving him the power of his behaviour and Prahlada lost control of the three worlds.


Asuras grew angry at the Devas for taking advantage of their King's virtuous behaviour and invaded the heavens. The Devas, afraid of the Asuras, enlisted the help of human Kings such as Yayati, Raji and Kakutstha and defeated them.

Prahlada attacked the gods and defeated Indra in battle, forcing the King of the Gods to run for his life. Indra sought help of Lord Vishnu. Infused with his power, Indra defeated Prahlada. The latter understood that Vishnu was helping Indra in battle and he withdrew his forces.


Prahlada first gave his kingdom to Andhaka, but the latter was defeated by Shiva. So Prahlada gave it to his son Virochana and undertook a Tirtha Yatra.

You want to buy a house.

You take a loan from the bank.

The bank asks you, “what if you don’t pay back?”

You say, “take my home and sell it”.

(Thread)

That makes sense. The bank gives you a loan and in case you don’t pay, the bank will take over your house and sell it and recover its money.

That’s collateral.

Banks also lend money to big corporations. With them, banks don’t always have collateral.

So a loan where the bank has collateral is considered safer for the bank.

In the early 2000s, the banks in the USA were giving out loans to people for buying houses.

The economy had just recovered from the tech bubble in 2000 where many banks had given out loans to businesses that had shut down.

In that backdrop, the banks found giving home loans safer.
