Organized crime operates across national borders — to keep up, investigative journalists need to do the same. TED Fellow Bektour Iskender gives the inside scoop on his efforts to unveil secret, insidious operations in his home country of Kyrgyzstan, and how he worked with a team of journalists to uncover corruption and spark a national movement. He shares three key insights on how global networks of investigative journalists protect the world not just from smugglers and thieves but from dictators and warmongers.

    🙂 *these are some most important and precious advices every one should read* 💜🙂

    *1.* _Take risks in your life. If you win, you can lead; if you lose, you can guide._

    *2.* _People are not what they say but what they do; so judge them not from their words but from their actions._

    *3.* _When someone hurts you, don’t feel bad because it’s a law of nature that the tree that bears the sweetest fruits gets maximum number of stones._

    *4.* _Take whatever you can from your life because when life starts taking from you, it takes even your last breath._

    *5.* _In this world, people will always throw stones on the path of your success. It depends on what you make from them – a wall or a bridge._

    *6.* _Challenges make life interesting; overcoming them make life meaningful._

    *7.* _There is no joy in victory without running the risk of defeat._

    *8.* _A path without obstacles leads nowhere._

    *9.* _Past is a nice place to visit but certainly not a good place to stay._

    *10.* _You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time._

    *11.* _If what you did yesterday still looks big to you, then you haven’t done much today._

    *12.* _If you don’t build your dreams, someone else will hire you to build theirs._

    *13.* _If you don’t climb the mountain; you can’t view the plain._

    *14.* _Don’t leave it idle – use your brain._

    *15.* _You are not paid for having brain, you are only rewarded for using it intelligently._

    *16.* _It is not what you don’t have that limits you; it is what you have but don’t know how to use._

    *17.* _What you fail to learn might teach you a lesson._

    *18.* _The difference between a corrupt person and an honest person is: The corrupt person has a price while the honest person has a value._

    *19.* _If you succeed in cheating someone, don’t think that the person is a fool…… Realize that the person trusted you much more than you deserved._
    I
    *20.* _Honesty is an expensive gift; don’t expect it from cheap people._

    The FED has lost it and the sad fact is it’s pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation.i think stores better have tight security because when people can’t afford to feed their families, things might get ugly.

    I see in the movies how journalists work together across countries to solve criminal cases with great success and it’s so cool to find out that through Kloop and other organizations, you try to solve crime home and abroad.
    Keep up the good work Bektour. Great presentation 👏

    Journalism has died, real journalism is pretty much illegal nowdays. It either goes eith the mainstream narrative or its “misinformation” (unironically of course)

    I’m really happy for today. I finally got my profit of $330,000 on my crypto investment after feeling so ecstatic and heavy minded that nothing good can come out of it… A big thanks to Dmitry Goldin. I learned a lot about buying when there is fear in the market. I use to get shaken out and panic sell but now I buy more when I see the low prices.
