How Iran's repression machine works
And the protesters rising up against it.
Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
The death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran's "morality police" on September 16, 2022 sparked major protests in Iran. The morality police arrested Amini for improperly wearing her hijab, and after they allegedly beat her, she fell into a coma and died. Protests began by asking for accountability. They’re now demanding regime change.
In theory, Iranians have a democratic branch they can use to fight for change under the regime. But it's actually all part of the same power structure controlled by Iran’s autocratic supreme leader. Iranians are forced to voice their objections in the streets because the system that protects the morality police, the supreme l...

Mad Men: Regime change are always tricky, you wanna stay neutral
He is right: picking side early is a politically dangerous move.
It's like betting on black or red.
Too risky. Staying neutral is a better option.
But the superior option is to take sides privately.

Newly elected Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to boost government efficiency and productivity, but he has yet to set out a clear path to the goal. Even more important, can he develop India's enormous potential human capital and bring infrastructure to the hinterlands? Incoming President Joko Widodo faces a huge challenge jumpstarting Indonesia's economy, whose recent growth figures were the lowest in five years. How long a honeymoon will investors allow these new leaders? What are the elements of positive surprises in these nations? Can Modi, a popular Hindu nationalist described by an admirer as 'India's Deng Xiaoping,' restore the shine to his nation's reputation by cutting red tape and rooting out the corruption that has repelled foreign investment? Can Widodo gather enough political support to implement the reforms necessary to woo overseas business back? And will Thailand's military leaders keep their commitment to hold elections and restore long-term stability to that troubled nation, whose economy has suffered since the spring's violent protests? From investors' standpoint, was regime change in Bangkok a boon or a bane?

31.01.2023 - The Curacao government has pushed back the deadline for the unfolding of its new online gambling licensing regime. WHAT HAS CHANGED:
1. NO MORE Sub-licenses: direct licence application ONLY
2. Fees for application, licence renewals, etc rose significantly:
EUR 4000 for an application,
EUR 12,000 annually once approved, and
EUR 250 a month for each URL
3. Conversion period for holders of the existing licences is 12 months. Again, sublicense are not considered holders and will need to apply as new.
4. There will be established the Curacao Gaming Authority to oversee all iGaming activity and issue B2B and B2C licences (instead of 3 different bodies now).
What's also important: I predict that the Gambling Bill will pass the local and the Dutch parliament alike in 2023 for sure.
The actual details of the legislation are unknown but will obviously include fines for noncompliance with anti-money laundering and KYC clauses as well as the likes of GamStop and GamCare.
For a full discussion (13 minutes) as well as comparison of Curacao with Malta Gaming authority costs (Costa-Rica and Kahnawake alike) please see my YouTube video (link in comments)

SINGAPORE: Parliament debated the Casino Control (Amendment) Bill on Thursday.
Second Minister for Home Affairs and Trade and Industry S Iswaran said the Bill aims to strengthen the legislative framework for the regulation of casinos in Singapore.
Mr Iswaran said that fundamentally, the approach to regulating casinos remains unchanged.
He added agencies have gained practical experience from regulating the casinos over the past two years.
And it is imperative to continually monitor developments, anticipate trends and challenges and ensure that the regulatory regime stays effective and relevant.
Mr Iswaran said: "The Bill has five main objectives. First, it enhances the provisions for effective gaming regulation, and streamlines regulatory processes.
"Second, it strengthens law enforcement levers to deal with casino-related crime. Third, it broadens our framework of social safeguards.
"Fourth, it refines the regulatory framework to give effect to the economic policy intent of introducing the IRs in Singapore. Finally, it improves tax administration, for consistency with other Tax Acts."
The two integrated resorts (IRs) in Singapore have generated significant economic benefits for the country, said Mr Iswaran.
But he added that there is the on-going challenge of ensuring that Singapore's social safeguards protect the vulnerable from the casinos.
Hence, among the proposed changes to the Casino Control Act is the introduction of the visit limit.
There are now exclusion orders for problem gamblers.
Soon, there will be visit limits on financially vulnerable locals who visit casinos frequently.
The visit limit will set a cap on the number of times an individual may visit the casino each month.
It may differ from person to person, depending on each individual's circumstances.
Individuals will also have the right to be heard and the right of appeal.
Some 4,000 to 6,000 locals could come under this regime, which is due to kick in by the middle of next year.
There will be three forms of visit limits: firstly, individuals can apply to the National Council on Problem Gambling for voluntary self-imposed visit limits; secondly, family members can apply for family visit limits; thirdly, the NCPG will be empowered to appoint a Committee of Assessors to determine whether a third-party visit limit should be imposed on a financially vulnerable person.
Mr Iswaran said the government acknowledges the impact of problem gambling on Singaporeans and will act on it.
He said: "Though the casino is a small component of the entire IR development, we recognise the impact it can have on law and order and problem gambling.
"Hence, from the outset, we have sought to establish a stringent casino regulatory regime, with strong enforcement measures, and strict social safeguards to address the potential adverse effects.
"The government is determined to keep Singapore safe and secure, and to ensure that our society's strong work ethics and values are not compromised."
On the employment side, the IRs directly hire more than 22,000 employees and have spun off more than 40,000 jobs throughout the economy.
The IRs have broadened the range of job and career opportunities for Singaporeans, with the bulk of the jobs in the IRs in areas such as theme park operation, retail and food and beverage.
Mr Iswaran also said the two IRs have committed a total development investment of over S$13 billion.
He added that while Singapore's tourism industry has grown, the tourism landscape in the region is also becoming increasingly competitive.
So the Trade and Industry Ministry will appoint an evaluation panel to assess the ability of the IR operators to fulfil their economic obligations.
And this will be considered on the basis of a broad range of indicators such as visitor appeal and benchmarks with respect to similar international attractions.

In the Future of Development series, the Center for Global Development and the Georgetown University Initiative on Innovation, Development and Evaluation (gui2de) bring together development experts, scholars, and policymakers to address the big questions facing developing countries and help shape the agenda in global development over the next decade.
In this edition, Naomi Hossain and Masood Ahmed will join host Shanta Devarajan to discuss Stefan Dercon's new book "Gambling on Development" which draws on economics, politics, and Stefan’s own experiences as first Chief Economist of the UK’s Department for International Development and then as Policy Adviser to the Foreign Secretary in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to answer one of the most important questions in international development: why do some countries make progress while others stall or go backwards? Dercon’s argument centers on the existence—or absence—of a ‘development bargain’ under which it is in the interests of powerful elites to pursue broad-based economic and social progress. How do we recognize a development bargain when it’s in place? And what can outsiders do to promote them, if anything? Join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion.

The death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran's "morality police" on September 16, 2022 sparked major protests in Iran. The morality police arrested Amini for improperly wearing her hijab, and after they allegedly beat her, she fell into a coma and died. Protests began by asking for accountability. They’re now demanding regime change.
In theory, Iranians have a democratic branch they can use to fight for change under the regime. But it's actually all part of the same power structure controlled by Iran’s autocratic supreme leader. Iranians are forced to voice their objections in the streets because the system that protects the morality police, the supreme leader, and the entire power structure of Iran was designed to fight dissent.
During the 1979 revolution, the Iranian military declared neutrality. This led to the shah’s downfall, but it also caused the Supreme Leader to decide he needed a whole new loyal army to protect himself and his ideology. It’s this other arm of Iran’s power system that is also out on the streets, cracking down on protesters, hoping to keep the existing structure in place — the same system many Iranians have been fighting against for 40 years.

He is right: picking side early is a politically dangerous move.
It's like betting on black or red.
Too risky. Staying neutral is a better option.
But the superior option is to take sides privately.
