# Food / Farming / GMOs / Chemicals / Global Drought is causing widespread crop failures throughout the United States and Europe: We really are reaching a major crisis point. Soaring fertilizer prices, insane weather patterns and the war in Ukraine, make global food supplies tighter and tighter. According to CNN, it is being projected that farmers in Italy have lost “up to 80% of their harvest” because the drought has become so severe. Many farmers in France are facing similar losses. The situation in Germany is also extremely dire.

# Food / Farming / GMOs / Chemicals / Other Major Food And Drink Brands That Are Disappearing Or Rebranding: Many brands that were once household staples are disappearing off the shelves. One reason they are gone is that shoppers prefer lower-priced private labels such as Great Value at Walmart and Kirkland at Costco. The sale of old-fashioned classics is suffering, and many brands are going through changes. There’s nothing more disappointing than learning your favorite item is no longer available.

# General Information / Other News
FBI: Trump Stole Nuclear Secrets, Was Building LEGO H-Bomb in Basement: “Trump absconded from the White House with one of America’s most closely guarded nuclear weapons secrets, namely, how to build a thousand-megaton H-bomb using simple LEGO bricks available at any Toys R Us,” explained FBI director Christopher Wray.

Trumps week just went from really bad to “Sir, I gotta ask, did you take any nuclear codes?” For his part, the president has released several statements suggesting that yeah, he was definitely keeping documents about nuclear weapons at Mar-a-Lago. A person familiar with the matter said the 15 boxes of documents that had been removed from Mar-a-Lago in January included such intelligence. So you can probably understand why the government was freaked out by the prospect of Trump potentially keeping some of the country’s biggest national security secrets in his basement.

Unsealed court documents show the FBI was looking for evidence Trump violated the Espionage Act and other laws – here’s how the documents seized show possible wrongdoing. All told, the FBI removed 27 boxes and other individually listed items, including photographs. So if the inventory includes items that should have been returned in response to the subpoena, but were not, that can be evidence of obstruction of justice and concealment of public records.

Here’s how government documents are classified to keep sensitive information safe. What are classified documents? Who gets to see them? What happens if they are released? Classified information is the kind of material that the U.S. government or an agency deems sensitive enough to national security that access to it must be controlled and restricted.
There are several degrees of classification.

First Synthetic Embryos: The Scientific Breakthrough Raises Serious Ethical Questions. A team of researchers in Israel have called into question the basics of what we teach children about the birds and the bees and created a mouse embryo using just stem cells. It lived for eight days, about half a mouse’s gestation period, inside a bioreactor in the lab.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) proposed a new way of censoring online content that requires a small group of experts to train artificial intelligence on identifying “misinformation” and abusive content. The WEF published an article Wednesday outlining a plan to overcome frequent instances of “child abuse, extremism, disinformation, hate speech and fraud” online
