Senator Chuck Grassley has scrutinized the Secret Service’s actions since the assassination attempt in Butler County, pointing out discrepancies between their assurances and local law enforcement’s claims. The Secret Service maintains they are cooperating with multiple investigations, though they have not confirmed specific allegations about securing the building. Grassley’s investigation also encompasses other incidents, including a plot by an alleged Iranian agent and another assassination attempt on Trump in Florida.
Meanwhile, financial and geopolitical analyst Martin Armstrong has made predictions regarding another potential assassination attempt on Trump and efforts by the so-called Deep State to incite a war with Russia. Armstrong’s analysis, based on his “Socrates” computer program, suggests that the Deep State is attempting to manipulate the upcoming election, fearing a significant loss for Kamala Harris. He also warns of severe geopolitical and economic consequences if a larger conflict with Russia ensues, including economic collapse and widespread shortages.
Society
In Springfield, Ohio, a human trafficking network involving the exploitation of Haitian migrants has been uncovered. Former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Nomani’s investigation revealed that First Diversity Staffing Group Inc., led by George Ten, has been transporting vulnerable Haitian migrants from Florida to Ohio since 2019. These migrants are allegedly exploited for cheap labor by companies like Dole Food Company Inc., housed in substandard conditions, and paid minimal wages. Federal and state agents, including the FBI and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, are now investigating these allegations. The situation has strained Springfield’s resources, leading to overcrowded housing and overburdened medical facilities. Local efforts aim to support the migrants and bridge cultural gaps, highlighting the broader issue of labor trafficking and the need for systemic reform.
Health
In health news, the Florida Department of Health has emphasized the importance of informed consent for COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. The FDA recently approved updated mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna for individuals 12 and older, with emergency use authorization for younger children. These boosters target the Omicron variant, which is not currently causing significant infections. Concerns have been raised about the lack of booster-specific clinical trial data and the potential risks associated with prolonged mRNA and spike protein circulation. The State Surgeon General advises against mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for individuals under 65, citing safety and efficacy concerns, and encourages overall health improvements through lifestyle changes.
Geopolitics
In Lebanon, a series of explosions allegedly involving Internet of Things (IoT) devices has sparked fears of cyber-attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities. Reports suggest that Israel may have hacked these devices, embedding explosive powder triggered by lithium thermal runaway catalysts. This has led to widespread concern about the safety of everyday smart devices. Concurrently, a massive explosion at Russia’s largest ammunition depot near Moscow, reportedly hit by a missile, has caused significant damage and raised questions about Russia’s military options. The incident has heightened tensions in the region, with Israeli F-35 jets launching attacks on southern Lebanon and speculation about potential NATO provocations.
Economy
Forty of the world’s leading commercial banks have joined a G7-led pilot scheme with the New York Fed and central banks from Europe, Korea, and Japan to develop a new digital currency platform. The Agora project aims to enhance cross-border payments using tokenized bank deposits and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This initiative represents a significant step in the development of CBDCs, focusing on wholesale transactions between banks. The project highlights a growing divide between the G7-led Agora and the mBridge initiative, which includes central banks from China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates.
