US Politics
A federal judge appointed by Obama has blocked the shutdown of USAID by Elon Musk and DOGE, ruling that the move likely violated the Constitution. Judge Theodore Chuang ordered the restoration of access for current USAID employees and contractors, while preventing further actions related to the shutdown. This decision follows a series of judicial interventions against efforts to reduce the federal workforce and programs.
Meanwhile, the release of JFK assassination files has unveiled new insights and speculations. The files, released under President Trump’s directive, include an FBI report on Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities and a CIA memo suggesting a connection between Jack Ruby and Oswald. Additionally, the files reveal a covert CIA-Israel intelligence pipeline managed by James Angleton, with the CIA requesting redactions related to Israel. These revelations have sparked discussions about historical narratives and potential implications. While some view the redactions as a cover-up, others argue they are standard protocol to protect intelligence sources.
Health
Japan has issued a global alert following a reported increase in child deaths potentially linked to vaccines. A study by Dr. Kenji Yamamoto from Okamura Memorial Hospital, published in Discover Medicine, suggests a connection between these deaths and vaccines, including both mRNA and standard childhood vaccines. The study raises concerns about vaccine-induced immunodeficiency and adverse effects, noting over 600,000 excess deaths in Japan since the Covid vaccine rollout, with a significant number reportedly among children. Yamamoto’s research observed a rise in unexplained child deaths post-Covid vaccinations, with some cases involving deaths within a day of routine vaccinations. Despite detailed autopsies, these cases were labeled “causality unassessable,” leading to suspicions of external pressures affecting safety assessments. The study calls for a reassessment of regulatory bodies and suggests suspending current programs until comprehensive trials validate safety. However, health officials argue that correlation does not imply causation, and Japan’s vaccination policies are under review but not halted.
Economy
The Comex vaults have experienced a significant influx of silver, with 568 metric tonnes, equivalent to 18,260,210 ounces, being booked in just five days. This sudden surge raises questions about the source of the silver and whether any will be withdrawn in the coming days. The movement of such a large quantity of silver, approximately 25-30 semi-truck loads, could impact market dynamics. While some speculate about market manipulation, others suggest increased industrial demand, particularly from the solar panel industry, as a more straightforward explanation.
In Germany, the Bundestag has voted to dismantle the country’s debt brake, allowing for extensive deficit spending. This move, led by Chancellor hopeful Friedrich Merz, reportedly contradicts his campaign promises of fiscal restraint. The constitutional amendment permits funneling 100 billion Euros to states and municipalities, partly to address financial strains from mass migration. Additionally, 100 billion Euros will be allocated to achieving climate neutrality by 2045, and 300 billion Euros to infrastructure projects. The overhaul exempts defense spending exceeding 1% of GDP from the debt brake, with the Green Party broadening the definition of “defense.” This decision, made without direct voter input, has sparked controversy as it reverses the Union parties’ campaign pledges. Critics argue this could lead to uncontrolled spending, while supporters claim it is necessary for economic growth and addressing climate goals.
Energy
Harold Hamm, an oil industry leader, asserts that U.S. shale producers need oil prices around $80 per barrel to justify new drilling, especially outside prime Permian locations. Current prices in the high $60s are reportedly insufficient for significant drilling activity. Despite the Trump Administration’s belief in regulatory easing, industry leaders argue that prices below $60 are not viable. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright suggests innovation could sustain production at lower prices, but experts warn that prices below $65 would hinder U.S. shale’s ability to maintain production levels. Additionally, U.S. import tariffs on steel and aluminum are expected to raise shale production costs, complicating the economic landscape for producers. Some industry analysts believe that ongoing innovations could still allow for increased production even if prices fall to $50 per barrel.
