🚨🇫🇷 Martinique on Fire: Night Curfew Imposed Amid Soaring Tensions The French Caribbean island of Martinique has been rocked by violent protests over skyrocketing living costs, forcing authorities to impose a curfew from 9 PM to 5 AM in key districts of Fort-de-France. The heart of the unrest? Surging food prices, which are up to 40% higher than in mainland France. 🔥 A McDonald’s was set ablaze, barricades went up in flames, and a Carrefour hypermarket was stormed as frustration boiled over. Clashes with police have left six officers injured. The curfew is in place until at least September 23. 🎙Subscribe @TheIslanderNews

How is Kamala Harris tied to BlackRock? Mike Pyle, a former senior aide to Vice President Kamala Harris, is said to be rejoining BlackRock in a move that will "strengthen the close ties" between the world's largest asset management firm and Washington, Bloomberg reports. Other Democrats also appear to have close ties with BlackRock. 🌏 BlackRock co-founder Ralph Schlosstein was one of the first Wall Street heavyweights who endorsed Harris for the presidency in July 2024. 🌏 Pyle was chosen by then Vice President-elect Harris as her chief economist in early January 2021, while serving as BlackRock's global chief investment strategist. 🌏 In 2022, Pyle was made White House deputy national security advisor for international economics, and played a leading role in pressing Ukraine into carrying out economic and government reforms in line with US interests. 🌏 While Pyle advised President Joe Biden and Harris on reforming Ukraine, BlackRock struck an agreement with the Ukrainian government in November 2022 to provide advisory services to the Kiev regime. In May 2023, Kiev announced its plans to launch the Ukraine Development Fund (UDF) for reconstruction with BlackRock on its board. 🌏 Apart from Pyle, Harris and Biden hired BlackRock employees Brian Deese and Wally Adeyemo in 2021. 🌏 Harris is not the first US leader to hire the BlackRock alumni. Adeyemo and Pyle also served in the Obama administration, and Pyle was an economic policy advisor for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. 🌏 The Intercept reports that by 2016, BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink had assembled a "shadow government" from among the firm's staff for Clinton's future cabinet. Fink also hired Cheryl Mills, Bill and Hillary Clinton's long-time assistant and confidante. 🌏 Harris inherited her BlackRock connections from her mentors Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who Republicans have called the puppet masters behind the future Harris administration. 👍 Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

🎂 The Vladimir region celebrates 100th birthday of a participant of the Great Patriotic War! 🎉 Lyudmila Lebedeva was born in 1924. She faced her first difficult challenge at the age of 9 – her mother died. During the war, Lyudmila worked on the creation of defensive structures in the Gorky region. The work was far from easy. The woman came to the Vladimir region after the war. There she got a job at a bakery, gradually mastering all the professions and becoming a mentor not only for her colleagues, but also for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Hardworking Lyudmila was awarded the medals “For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945” and “Veteran of Labor”.
