Originally published at: Israel Allocated $150 Million for ‘Outreach’ to US Conservatives, Pfizer Omitted COVID Vaccine Data – Peak Prosperity
US Politics
Israel has reportedly allocated $150 million for a hasbara campaign targeting American conservatives, with the stated aim of increasing support and redefining certain criticisms as antisemitism. The effort reportedly includes legal measures to avoid foreign agent registration requirements, such as adopting the IHRA definition via executive order and disbanding DOJ task forces on foreign influence. It also reportedly involves influencer trips, paid visits to Israel, and partnerships with Christian Zionist groups like the Conference of Christian Presidents for Israel to engage faith leaders and social media figures. Entities such as Project Esther and Bridges Partners reportedly manage funding for advertisements and scripted content, focusing on campuses, lawmakers, and countering dissent from figures including Tucker Carlson. Proponents frame the campaign as a necessary defense against misinformation and antisemitism threats.
Elon Musk stated that “way more” than $100 million (the amount officially reported) in U.S. taxpayer funds have been directed through dark-money NGOs to support organizations involved in protests and unrest. Research from the Government Accountability Institute identified networks including the Open Society, Arabella, and Tides foundations, along with foreign influences, as funding groups such as Antifa and the Socialist Rifle Association. At a White House roundtable, briefings to President Trump reportedly detailed how these entities coordinate activism, sometimes escalating to violence in cities including Portland and Chicago. Platforms like Open Collective reportedly facilitate crowdfunding with limited accountability. Representatives from groups like the Open Society Foundations have denied funding violence, describing their work as supporting civil society and justice initiatives.
Health
Expert analysis indicates that Pfizer omitted certain data on the biodistribution of its COVID-19 vaccine components in submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Documents provided to Japanese regulators reportedly included additional images depicting spread to organs such as the kidneys and adrenal glands in mice, which were cropped or altered in the FDA filings. Graphs in the Japanese documents also reportedly showed luminescence levels from a vaccine surrogate remaining above background levels after nine days, differing from the redacted FDA version. Moderna reportedly used a surrogate product in animal testing, with detections of mRNA in organs including the liver, spleen, heart, and brain, although company statements emphasized localization to the injection site and rapid clearance. Recent human data reportedly indicate mRNA and spike protein persisting in tissues for months, including in cerebral arteries up to 17 months after vaccination. Pfizer has stated that its biodistribution studies were conducted in close consultation with the FDA and that the submitted data met regulatory requirements, while mainstream analyses emphasize the vaccines’ overall safety based on extensive human trials.
The Washington Post editorial board stated that the Affordable Care Act did not achieve affordability as intended. Premiums in the individual market reportedly rose by about 129% from 2013 to 2019, surpassing expectations due to smaller risk pools and mandates covering pre-existing conditions without underwriting. By 2015, average Americans reportedly spent 10% of their income on health insurance, with some low-to-middle-income households paying over 20%. The number of available plans reportedly decreased, doctor assignments increased, and quality declined, contrary to assurances about retaining preferred providers. An architect of the law reportedly described its complexity as a deliberate strategy to facilitate passage. Supporters note that the law reduced the uninsured rate significantly and provided protections for pre-existing conditions, with analyses indicating overall benefits despite cost increases.
In Ottawa, a detective with 23 years in the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit reportedly faced suspension and discipline after investigating a reported spike in sudden infant deaths following the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Records reportedly showed cases tripling from 2020 to 2021, leading to reviews of autopsies and inquiries into potential vaccine links, including enlarged hearts in infants. Access to police records for trend analysis was reportedly standard practice, but superiors alleged misuse, resulting in charges of insubordination and privacy breaches. Legal arguments reportedly emphasized the detective’s duty to investigate public safety concerns, particularly given limited vaccine testing in pregnant women and reports of adverse effects. The penalty hearing reportedly seeks demotion, while supporters have called for an investigation into government oversight of infant deaths. The Ottawa Police Service has defended the disciplinary action, stating it was necessary to uphold record integrity, and critics of the probe argue it relied on anecdotal evidence lacking scientific validation.
Economy
The U.S. Treasury has finalized a $20 billion currency swap with Argentina’s central bank and directly purchased Argentine pesos to address liquidity challenges. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted Argentina’s fiscal reforms and export potential, noting alignment with America First policies through fair trade and investment. Argentine bonds reportedly gained over 4 cents, with the 2035 sovereign rising above 60 cents. Coordination with the IMF reportedly supports commitments under Argentina’s program, amid reported political consensus for lower taxes and private sector growth. The move has drawn criticism from U.S. farmers, who argue it prioritizes foreign aid over domestic agricultural support amid trade challenges with China.
Meanwhile, stock market optimism continues despite indicators suggesting recession risks. Credit card balances have reportedly surged as consumers turn to debt amid rising costs, similar to patterns before previous downturns. Yield curve inversions reportedly signal tightening financial conditions with delayed effects on spending and employment. Global factors, including rising labor costs in China, reportedly contribute to ongoing inflation pressures. Small businesses reportedly face higher expenses with narrow margins, leading to risks of burnout and closures without adequate replacements, which could impact jobs and tax revenues. Central banks have signaled plans for sustained higher interest rates to address inflation and moral hazard, countering expectations of increased liquidity. Positive indicators, such as robust employment data, suggest economic resilience that may offset some recessionary pressures.
European Politics
The United Kingdom recorded 71,227 rape cases in the latest year, a rate of 114 per 100,000 people, a nearly 10x increase from 7,801 in 2000. Perhaps this is why a recent poll found 74% of British people think the country is broken. Policies described by critics as lenient on crime, particularly cases involving non-citizens, have faced scrutiny, as have arrests for social media posts related to immigration. Grooming gangs, predominantly involving Pakistani migrants, were highlighted in the Casey Report as evidence of failures in addressing cultural incompatibilities. Sweden reported a rate of 85.9 per 100,000, and France 59 per 100,000, with both countries sharing open-border policies reportedly linked to increasing incidents. Reports in Sweden attribute many public assaults to migrants, with some official responses reportedly blaming victims. Officials attribute part of the rise in reported cases to increased public awareness and reporting, rather than solely higher incidence rates.
Canadian Politics
Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber received conditional sentences following convictions on mischief charges. Lich was sentenced to 12 months of house arrest plus a reduced curfew, while Barber received 12 months of house arrest and six months of curfew, both with 100 hours of community service. The judge cited a lack of remorse but rejected prosecutors’ requests for lengthy prison terms, noting the protest’s nonviolent nature. Exceptions reportedly allow Barber to continue trucking. Lich reportedly refused to express remorse, questioning the need to apologize to Canadians affected by COVID measures, while Barber thanked supporters and described the ordeal as raising awareness. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre described the protest as peaceful and in response to unlawful emergency measures. Victim-impact statements highlighted disruptions to Ottawa residents and businesses from the protest.
