# Border / Immigration / Migrants
Abbott: More than 50,000 illegal border crossers bused to sanctuary cities: Texas has bused more than 50,000 people who’ve illegally entered the U.S. and were unlawfully released into the U.S., Gov. Greg Abbott said Friday. The majority have been bused to New York City, followed by Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles. Abbott began the busing strategy in April 2022. He first sent foreign nationals who illegally entered the U.S. in Texas to Washington, D.C. Since then, over 12,500 people chose to be transported to the nation’s capital.

Migrants say they will IGNORE NYC Mayor Eric Adams pleas and will continue to flood the southern border: Mayor Eric Adams warned that the raging migrant crisis will “destroy” New York City and tore into President Biden for ignoring his pleas for help, saying the White House has given “no support” for the thousands of asylum seekers arriving each month. Hizzoner took aim at Biden for not stepping in with federal assistance as the city has received more than 110,000 migrants in the past year.

# Children / Youth
The incredible, unbelievable crusade against children: The undeclared goal of the Agenda is the transition to a transhumanist dictatorship via full-scale refashioning of society which entails the complete eradication of all that is normal and natural, from food and medicine to human reproduction and interaction, including the sexualization of children. The UN publishes the International Technical Guidance on sexuality education under its Global Education Agenda 2030; the latest edition can be summarized as follows: “Children are sexual beings who must have sexual partners and begin having sex as soon as possible. For this reason, kindergartens and elementary schools must teach children to develop lust and sexual desire, learn masturbation, build same-sex relationships, use online pornography, and learn different sexual techniques such as oral sex.”

Unique ‘fingerprints’ of laboratory manipulation in the Covid virus: In the summer of 2020 a paper describing the findings of an Anglo-Norwegian team of scientists who had demonstrated unique ‘fingerprints’ of laboratory manipulation in the Covid virus, was suppressed in both the US and UK. Vaccine travelled throughout the body. First the ‘vaccine’ did not stay at the site of injection as promised but travelled throughout the body and were found at post-mortems to be everywhere. A German biologist whistleblower has found contamination rates of up to 354 times the recommended limit. All this has been reported to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is highly significant.

# Medical / Health
Primary Aldosteronism also called Conn’s syndrome, is a disorder in which your adrenal glands make too much of a hormone called aldosterone. Aldosterone helps regulate your blood pressure by balancing sodium and potassium levels in your body. Because it largely goes undiagnosed, new guidelines from the Endocrine Society suggest patients be screened if they have: blood pressure readings over 150/100 taken on three different days, sleep apnea, or family history of early-onset hypertension or hypertension that is resistant to conventional drugs.

Medicare Advantage Is a Massive Scam: The program rips off both the taxpayer and its own enrollees. The sales pitch is an abject lie. Medicare Advantage is much worse than traditional Medicare for people on the program and costs a great deal more to boot. But unless the Biden administration changes course, private companies will soon devour the rest of the program. One would think that the Biden administration would be looking to reverse course, but it isn’t. On the contrary, it has proceeded with a Trump-era plan to privatize the remaining shreds of Medicare by letting private companies serve as payment middlemen through something the Trump team called “direct contracting.”

How Chinese Migration To The U.S. Has Skyrocketed: Undocumented migration from China has been steadily rising from around 18,400 in 2020. However, this year’s figures show encounters increased significantly from March to April and remained high throughout May and June, before rising again in July—with 6,158 encounters nationwide in a single month. “We know that China is using everything that they have, every bit of espionage, to spy on our military and our high technology,” said Rebecca Grant, Ph.D., a national security analyst at IRIS Independent Research. “And we know China’s government is not our friend, so this dramatic upswing, I think it could definitely present a potential national security risk.”

What the Medical Industrial Complex is NOT Telling Us: Part 1 of this report presented an attorney’s perspective of the controversy over the safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccines, and why so many physicians and other professionals would be willing to risk their reputations, licenses, board certifications and their livelihoods by warning people that the shots are actually dangerous. It discussed why the COVID injections are not really “vaccines”, and that a vaccine was not even necessary in the first place.

Students say DeSantis has carried out a ‘hostile takeover’ of the school’s leadership. Tenured professors now must undergo regular reviews, as part of sweeping reforms to police ‘left-wing ideology’ and ‘indoctrination’ in higher education.

Greene, for example, was the ninth-largest fundraiser in the 2022 election cycle among current House members, and 98% of her money came from individual donors rather than party, corporate or political-action committee sources, data from the nonpartisan group OpenSecrets shows.

The real data behind the new COVID vaccines the White House is pushing: What if I told you one in 50 people who took a new medication had a “medically attended adverse event” and the manufacturer refused to disclose what exactly the complication was, would you take it?

COVID vaccines are very different from flu vaccines. COVID vaccines have higher complication rates, including severe and life-threatening cardiac reactions.

A new study by Japanese researchers has confirmed the presence of microplastics in clouds, where they are likely to be having effects on the climate that have yet to be fully realized. In the study, the researchers climbed Mount Oyama and Mount Fuji to collect water from mist-enveloped peaks.

Trump is ramping up his threats and provocations. Even if one or two of his followers act on them, the result would be tragic: One day after he posted “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING FOR YOU!,” a woman called the chambers of U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has been assigned to the election fraud case against Trump, and said that if Trump is not reelected next year, “we are coming to kill you.” (The woman was later charged with making the call.)

The very first beat: how a heart starts to pulse: Hours of footage of zebrafish embryos let researchers capture and study this key moment in development. One moment there’s nothing, the next … a heartbeat. As a vertebrate embryo grows, its heart tissue starts to pulse well before it’s needed. But how does the developing heart actually coordinate that very first beat? Using microscopes and glowing fluorescent proteins, researchers have been able to watch zebrafish embryos during this key point in development and examine the process in real time.

Scientists ‘shocked’ and ‘alarmed’ at what’s in the mRNA shots: While running an experiment in his Boston lab, McKernan used some vials of mRNA Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines as controls. He was ‘shocked’ to find that they were allegedly contaminated with tiny fragments of plasmid DNA. McKernan, who has 25 years’ experience in his field, ran the experiment again, confirming that the vials contained up to 18-70 times more DNA contamination than the legal limits allowed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Rise of the RoboTruck Lobby: Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoes driverless truck safety bill after autonomous vehicle interests spent big on lobbying and wined and dined his top aides. The veto delivered a massive win to Big Tech and a major blow to labor unions and road safety advocates, since backers of the bill say the rapid rise of driverless trucks may jeopardize trucking jobs and make public roadways more dangerous.

How Russia’s Hybrid Warfare is Changing: Russia’s approach to hybrid warfare has undergone a shift, moving away from primarily relying on nonconventional measures and tactics towards a greater emphasis on conventional methods. The framework of the argument is constructed through an analysis of Russia’s experiences in hybrid warfare across various conflicts such as the Afghan War, Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine. Methodologically, the analysis is based on the non-linear concept of hybrid warfare, commonly referred to as the “Gerasimov doctrine.” This concept acknowledges the utilization of both conventional military tactics and nonconventional tactics, emphasizing the use of nonconventional as primary measures

FEMA is planning to test its alert system October 4th; why
it’s dangerous to some people: The test will consist of two
parts: The WEA alerts will go to all cell phones, and the EAS
alerts will go to radios and televisions. FEMA and the FCC
are coordinating with wireless providers and other
emergency managers to make sure confusion is minimized
and public safety is elevated. Victims who keep a “domestic
violence phone” make sure it is turned off at 2:20 p.m. in
the afternoon when the emergency alerts go out. This will
prevent the alarm from sounding off and alerting the
abuser of the lifeline’s existence, a warning that should have
been added to FEMA and FCC’s communications.

Feinstein’s death raises the question: How are vacant Senate seats filled? One US senator has died, another is facing criminal charges and one more is dealing with health problems.

# Energy / Pipelines / Mining / Chemicals Could the 151-year-old mining law finally be reformed? A working group calls for reforms in advance of a green metals boom: In 1974, the U.S. Government Accountability Office issued a report urging Congress to modernize the 1872 Mining Law, which makes ‘all valuable mineral deposits’ in public lands ‘free and open to exploration.’ The law, signed into being by President Ulysses S. Grant, was clearly antiquated and obsolete; its goal of encouraging corporate colonization and white settlement of the Western U.S. accomplished ages ago, now it was adversely affecting public lands and their management. It was high time for an overhaul. Congress, however, did not heed the call.

The Federal Government Has Borrowed Trillions. Who Owns All That Debt? At the end of 2022, the nation’s gross debt had reached nearly $31.4 trillion. Of that amount, about $24.5 trillion, or 78 percent, was debt held by the public, representing cash borrowed from domestic and foreign investors. The remaining $7.0 trillion (22 percent), was intragovernmental debt, which simply records transactions between one part of the federal government and another.

Banned in the USA; State Laws Supercharge Book Suppression in Schools: Update on book bans in the 2022-2023 school year shows expanded censorship of themes centered on Race, History, Sexual Orientation and Gender. PEN America recorded more book bans during the fall 2022 semester than in each of the prior two semesters. This school year saw the effects of new state laws that censor ideas and materials in public schools, an extension of the book banning movement initiated in 2021 by local citizens and advocacy groups. Broad efforts to label certain books “harmful” and “explicit” are expanding the type of content suppressed in schools.

How “windfall profits” from AI companies could fund a universal basic income: There are three ways the profits reaped by AI companies could make their way to a more general public. The first is taxes. The second, is charity. The third is if the companies themselves decide to donate a large share of their profits. This was the key proposal of a landmark 2020 paper called “The Windfall Clause.” The idea is simple: The clause is a voluntary but binding commitment that AI firms could make to donate a set percentage of their profits in excess of a certain threshold to a charitable entity. They suggest the thresholds be based on profits as a share of the gross world product (the entire world’s economic output).

# Archaeology
The stunning archaeology uncovered by a railway project in Britain: From carved figurines to coins, skeletons, and even entire settlements, the railway has opened up a new golden age of archaeology. When the HS2 railway was first announced, a lot of people were understandably thrilled.

Archaeologists stunned by 2,900-year-old steel tools in Portugal: Analyses of a 2,900-year-old iron chisel from Portugal revealed surprisingly high-quality steel. Steel tools were believed to have only become widespread in Europe during the Roman Empire, but a recent study shows that steel tools were already in use in Europe around 2,900 years ago, during the Final Bronze Age.

Archeologists Call Ancient Statue One Of The Most Important Discoveries Ever: Archaeologists have found a 26-foot statue submerged in ground water in a Cairo slum that the Antiquities Ministry has hailed as one of the most important discoveries ever. Experts say it probably depicts revered Pharaoh Ramses II, who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. The sun temple in Heliopolis was founded by Ramses II, lending weight to the likelihood the statue is of him.

A bull’s eye for Archaeology’: 4,000-year-old arrow found in Norway’s melting ice: The arrow was broken at both ends making it challenging to date. Initially, archaeologists thought it was from the Iron Age, but when conservators removed the glacial silt, they exposed the hafted end where the arrowhead was embedded. The dimensions and shape indicated the arrowhead was a flint projectile and dated to the Stone Age.

# Border / Immigration / Migrants
Eagle Pass and El Paso are struggling to find shelter for the new arrivals of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border as immigration officials process and release many of the migrants into border cities. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which processes people and vehicular traffic at ports of entry, said in a statement that it temporarily closed one of the three international bridges to traffic so agents could help Border Patrol process hundreds of migrants, many of whom were being held under one of the bridges connecting Eagle Pass and Mexico.

Ukraine SUICIDE “to Destroy every Russian”: Massacre of the People in General Mobilization and Forced Recruitment (video). The armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia has lasted for more than eighteen months. In this time, we have heard so many reports of casualties on both sides, and they have varied so much that it is simply futile to try to get to the truth and find out which figures are even slightly closer to the truth.

Is Lavrov’s Claim that America is at War with Russia an ‘Exaggeration’? The Russian Foreign Minister said that the US is waging war against Russia: Since the start of Russia’s special military operation (SMO) against NATO’s crawling encroachment on its borders, the United States has been adamant that it’s “not a party to the conflict” and that it supposedly “doesn’t want escalation with Moscow”. However, time proved both of these statements to be patently false.

US Could Send ‘Mini-Nukes’ to Ukraine: The US could be close to escalating the Ukrainian conflict to unprecedented levels of violence. Pushed by Kyiv’s weak attacks, the U.S. is expected to send mini-nukes to Ukraine. The U.S. is reportedly mulling providing Kyiv with long-range cruise missiles. The move seems to ignore repeated Russian warnings about escalatory dangers linked to the delivery.

What Happens During a Government Shutdown? The effects of a shutdown are complicated. A shutdown would not affect the mandatory programs that receive their appropriation outside the annual funding process—such as Medicare, Social Security, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). But it would immediately halt certain programs and put other programs at risk if it lasted long enough.

Half a million people, including kids, mistakenly dropped from Medicaid: CMS announcement comes as states review program eligibility for the first time in three years. Twenty-nine states and Washington, D.C., were erroneously reviewing eligibility for Medicaid at the family level instead of on an individual basis, the agency said.
