Peter Daszak believed to be co-conspirator 1 in guilty plea by Fauci official. CBS has all the details on guilty plea.

Huge news breaking right now on a top Fauci aide and his friend Peter Daszak (EcoHealth Alliance), who @TheNatPulse first reported on in 2020 vis a vis the Wuhan lab. According to a new guilty plea, Dr. David Morens — an NIAID Fauci aide (2006-2022) — and 2 co-conspirators, agreed to exchange emails about COVID-19’s origins through personal Gmail accounts rather than his official channels, in an attempt to hide federal records. Daszak, believed to be “co-conspirator 1” in the new guilty plea, sent bottles of wine and offered Michelin-starred meals in DC, NYC, and Paris in exchange for “behind the ... Read more...

FDA warns consumers about recalled deli meals sold at major retailers

Consumers are being urged to check their refrigerators and freezers after Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods voluntarily recalled several ready-to-eat meals over possible metal contamination. The affected foods were distributed through major grocery retailers, including Kroger, Publix and Food Lion, as well as other stores. The recall was initiated after small pieces of aluminum were discovered during an inspection, raising concerns that some contaminated meals may have reached consumers. https://www.msn.com/en-us/food-and-drink/recipes/fda-warns-consumers-about-recalled-deli-meals-sold-at-major-retailers/ss-AA2amYYG?uxmode=ruby&ctsrc=dgst&ocid=edgdhpruby&pc=NMTS&cvid=6a855775e27847ca9d966f151376f476&ei=85...

AI dulls student brain power

Teachers and researchers warn that heavy AI use for schoolwork is eroding students’ ability to think and write on their own. An MIT study showed lower brain activity, weaker memory of their own essays, and less ownership when students used AI tools. Big Tech is meanwhile racing to calm public backlash against AI with community payoffs and student perks. Students lean on chatbots for essays and assignments, often with school permission. Writing itself trains working memory, planning, and metacognition. MIT EEG study found AI users had sharply lower brain connectivity and could not recall lines they “wrote.” Experts say any part ...

New Flock software goes much further than tracking plates.

Vehicle surveillance giant Flock Safety has told the public for years that its technology “cannot recognize, identify, or track individuals.” It has now built a system that does both, an artificial intelligence tool for police that can identify drivers and track vehicles by their patterns of movement alone, WIRED has learned. Drawing on a network of cameras that logs the movements of drivers in more than 6,000 communities, the tool can pick out potential witnesses by how often their cars pass through a neighborhood, or surface a driver’s “associates” from the cameras they pass together. Because the system also reaches police ... Read more... READ MORE... Disclaimer: This post is shared for discussion and critical analysis only. Submission does not equal endorsement.

American adult literacy keeps sinking — 28% of working-age adults now score at the lowest literacy level, up from 19% six years earlier.

Basic reading ability among adults is getting worse, not better. The gap between high-skilled and low-skilled readers is widening and it hits daily life, jobs, and self-sufficiency hard. About 48 million adults read at or below third-grade equivalent according to some analyses. Over half of adults read below a sixth-grade level. Average literacy scores dropped between 2017 and 2023 across nearly every group. Low literacy links to higher poverty, unemployment, and social costs estimated in the trillions.

China’s net new loans fell by -$50.4 billion in July, the 3rd such decline in more than 2 decades and more than TRIPLE what economists had forecast.

Aggregate financing, a broader measure of total credit, still rose +$207.7 billion, but nearly all of that came from +$192.9 billion in government bond sales rather than organic private lending.

The yen is losing its carry trade and the Swiss franc is stepping in

Something interesting is happening in the world’s favorite cheap-money trade. Investors are starting to look at the Swiss franc instead of the yen as a funding currency. And the reason is pretty simple. The yen is becoming a headache. Japan has a 1% policy rate. Switzerland is at 0%. Japan is facing rate-hike expectations, currency intervention and the possibility that Japanese institutions start bringing more money home. Switzerland, meanwhile, has been openly uncomfortable with a strong franc and has said it is willing to intervene to weaken it. So from a carry trader’s perspective, the franc suddenly looks cleaner. Borrow francs. ... Read more... READ MORE... Disclaimer: This post is shared for discussion and critical analysis only. Submission does not equal endorsement.

Netanyahu ADMITS Israel Is At War With Christians & The West!

In this video Jimmy dissects Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that he is reading Jews Against Rome by Barry Strauss and commenting, “Well, we lost that one. I think we have to win the next one” . He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger interpret this as Netanyahu declaring the United States—which he equates with “Rome”—the enemy, with one rabbi quoted as saying America and Europe “have to go down to their knees” before Israel. Jimmy and Kurt connect these comments to the theological concept of “Amalek,” which some Israeli officials have used to justify actions against Palestinians, and argue that ... Read more...

$1 million in home equity is a very expensive place to keep money

Imagine you own a house worth $1 million. No mortgage. Just $1 million sitting there. Now look at what that money can earn. The 30-year Treasury recently hit 5.337%, the highest level since 2007. At 5.3%, $1 million produces roughly: $53,000 a year. $4,417 a month. Before taxes. And the crazy part is that you don’t need to buy another house. You don’t need tenants. You don’t need to fix a roof. You don’t need to replace a furnace. You don’t need to chase rent. You can just own a Treasury bond. Now compare that with the house. Your $1 million ... Read more...
