Citing regulatory concerns, Berlin-based security token startup Neufund has announced plans to freeze its fundraising campaigns and sideline future tokenized equity offerings. “Many European countries had aspirations to become a blockchain-friendly hub … [T]he authorities have stifled this plan, blocking the innovation in its tracks,” the firm wrote in a blog post Monday. Launched in 2016, Nefund helped allocate some $19 million in capital through novel equity and security token offerings (STOs), including a blockchain-based initial public offering in 2019. The firm claims to have some 11,000 investors across 123 countries. In a statement, Neufund CEO and co-founder Zoe Adamovicz said […]
Communist Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Monday asserted that Latinos are actually black when asked what the “LatinX” community should do to ‘stop racism.’ “I always say Latinos are black!” AOC said laughing. “We run an entire racial spectrum so we have to have conversations around ‘colorism,’ and we have to have conversations around the African and indigenous roots from which we come and how that’s reflected in systems of power wealth inequality and frankly our political system.” More Marxist drivel from AOC.

Both parties raced to put together legislation in response to George Floyd’s killing by police and the nationwide protests that followed. But they do not seem in a compromising mood in the middle of a pandemic and with an election in barely more than four months. Democrats oppose the legislation written by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as inadequate, saying it lacks the strong federal orders needed to spur police departments to change their actions on racial profiling and use of force. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called the GOP bill “deeply and fundamentally flawed” on Monday. But Democrats also say […]
An internal poll from the campaign of Republican congressional candidate Laura Loomer, who is seeking the GOP nomination in Florida’s 21st congressional district, gives her a 9 point lead over incumbent Democrat Rep. Lois Frankel. Loomer is the most censored congressional candidate in the country; she is banned on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, PayPal, Venmo, Uber, and Lyft. The poll found that independent voters, who represent a large part of the 21st district, back Loomer in large numbers. 64 percent of independents who responded to the poll backed Loomer, compared to 18 percent who backed Frankel and 16 percent who are […]
A House subcommittee’s draft of the annual defense policy bill would elevate the the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence hub to report to the deputy secretary of defense. The House Armed Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities’ version of the National Defense Authorization Act, released June 21, would delegate authority over the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center to the deputy secretary of defense. It would also direct the defense secretary to establish a board of directors for the center. The JAIC, charged with accelerating AI adoption across the Department of Defense, currently resides under the Pentagon’s chief information officer. Under […]
With gold pushing up to multi-year highs (as the dollar begins to sink), many are asking: where to from here? Goldman earlier increased their 12-month target for the yellow metal to $2000, but what will it take to send gold prices materially higher? Specifically, Goldman believes inflation will need to move above the Fed’s 2% target and this move to be met with a muted policy response. Historically, gold’s relationship with inflation is non-linear. Gold does not display a strong correlation with inflation while the latter is moderate but becomes strongly correlated when inflation gets above a certain threshold. Gold also […]

“It gives you chills to think about it,” he added. The remains came from a series of boxes that North Korea turned over, mostly recently in 2018.

So far, 62 Americans have also been identified from the sets of remains from North Korea. “We’re confident that it will be more,” Byrd said. As of Friday, 7,582 U.S. troops were still listed […]
National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) chairman Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) told Breitbart News exclusively that Republicans believe they can retake the House majority in November’s elections. In an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel on Saturday, Emmer laid out exactly how Republicans intend to retake the House. To do so, the GOP needs to flip a net 17 seats from Democrat control back into GOP hands, something Emmer believes is possible given that he said Republicans are targeting 54 separate Democrat-held districts. Given that there are 30 districts nationwide that Democrats currently represent that President Donald […]
The future chain of command for the Missile Defense Agency is up in the air, as legislators express their frustration with how leadership has handled a number of missile defense priorities, including a space-based sensor layer that could track hypersonic weapons. The House Armed Services’ strategic forces subcommittee is threatening to move the agency away from Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Michael Griffin and place it within the portfolio of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, reflecting a growing rift between Griffin and lawmakers. The subcommittee’s markup of the draft National Defense Authorization Act notes […]
A coastal county in Oregon expects everyone to wear masks – that is, everyone except “people of color” who claim to have racial profiling concerns. Lincoln County’s directive, which went into effect June 16, appears similar to other mask orders across the country, stating: General directive: All individuals in Lincoln County are required to wear face coverings during any indoor public setting or outdoor public location where a person will be in within six feet of another individual, who does not share the same household. Where Lincoln County breaks from other places is it’s made an exception from the mask order […]
Authored by Adriana Cohen via RealClearPolitics.com, The single biggest threat against President Donald Trump’s reelection in November isn’t unhinged liberals out for blood, a hostile media or even a politicized U.S. Supreme Court; it’s Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease adviser on the White House Coronavirus Task Force. If he’s not reined in, then he may succeed in making Trump a one-term president. Here’s why. One of the most important things an incumbent needs to secure reelection is a strong economy, but due to the radical lockdown and months-long national quarantine Fauci championed in March to mitigate the pandemic, the […]

The US State Department has reclassified four Chinese news outlets as “foreign missions,” declaring them “propaganda outlets” and imposing strict controls on their ability to employ journalists and conduct business in the US. Chinese outlets Global Times, China Central Television, China News Service, and People’s Daily have joined a growing list of state-run outlets subjected to intensified scrutiny as the media war between Beijing and Washington heats up. State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus announced the additions on Monday, proclaiming the named organizations are “effectively controlled by the government of the People’s Republic of China.” “These four outlets are not media outlets; […]
(Natural News) A group of Catholic bishops in the United States is funding far-left, militant Marxist organizations, a new report has revealed. According to a report by the conservative Catholic think tank Lepanto Institute for the Restoration of All Things in Christ, several bishops in the U.S., through the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), are funding progressive organizations who are currently “agitating” against law and order by allegedly pushing ideas such as the defunding of the police force, the defunding of prisons, upholding labor rights and embracing anti-racist ideologies. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the […]

The US dollar could potentially weaken against other currencies, including the Chinese yuan, if there is a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, according to Deutsche Bank’s chief Asia macro strategist. During the Monday broadcast of CNBC’s “Street Signs,” Deutsche Bank’s Sameer Goel explained that currency markets are currently dealing with “multiple cross-currents” over fears of a second COVID-19 wave. Goel’s comments come after more than 30,000 new COVID-19 cases were reported in the US over the weekend, CNBC reported. In addition, there has been a surge of infections in the Chinese capital of Beijing in recent weeks; more than 200 COVID-19 cases […]
Shortly after Saturday night’s less-than-packed rally in Oklahoma, President Donald Trump was handed pieces of printed paper that aides thought would cheer him up. The pages, according to an individual involved in the matter, included a collation of various copy-and-pasted live tweets by some of the president’s most prominent allies and diehard fans lauding Trump’s speech and celebrating the event as an unmitigated triumph against Joe Biden. The effort at ego-soothing, which came despite numerous Trump campaign and White House officials privately conceding that the Tulsa gathering had been a clear-cut debacle, didn’t have its intended outcome. The president barely skimmed […]

Egyptian security forces have arrested the human rights defender Ahmed Amasha and forcibly disappeared him for seven days. In a Facebook post his son Muhammad announced his arrest on 18 June and said that his family had no idea where he was. His daughter-in-law took to social media to say he was actively engaged in human rights and environmental issues and had been working in the vet union. Amasha, a vet, was part of an international campaign urging Egyptian authorities to close Scorpion Prison, one of Egypt’s notorious detention centres where detainees are systematically tortured.

A majority of Americans oppose defunding the police, and an even greater majority oppose “abolishing” the police, a recently released YouGov poll revealed. The survey, taken June 14-16 among 1,500 U.S. adults (1,160 of whom are registered voters), found that the majority of Americans disagree with the “defund the police” movement popularized by the Black Lives Matter movement. The majority, 53 percent, indicated that they oppose defunding police, while 24 percent said they support the proposal. What is more, nearly three-quarters of Americans, 73 percent, said they oppose “abolishing” the police altogether, with just 11 percent supporting the call. Even a majority […]
The announcement released by the Defense Department Monday afternoon awarded $869 million to GDEB to complete design work on the subs as part of a contract modification.

However, the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) declared self-rule in April, and the two sides have been fighting in the south, complicating UN efforts to forge a permanent ceasefire to the overall conflict.

By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, interviewed by Press TV John Bolton has leaked the manuscript of his new unapproved book about his experiences in the Trump administration. And of course, the top headlines are that Bolton is confirming all these other reports that Trump is incompetent. And also, I think Bolton is echoing earlier reports that the hawkish side of the national security deep state doesn’t find Trump a very good leader, because Trump is not reliable, and his instinct is to try to stay away from large wars. Now Bolton tells us that he joined the Trump administration with hopes […]
The New York Times will seemingly disregard sky-high homicide rates in America’s cities if doing so makes President Donald Trump look bad. To much of the media, the only facts that matter are those that hurt Trump. The US president is known for his bombastic declarations, hyperbole, and generous use of superlatives. In his nearly four years in office, that has provided plenty of material for journalists to churn out ‘fact checking’ articles cross-examining his wilder claims in an effort to cut the larger-than-life leader down to size. If anyone was wondering at what point ‘owning the president’ takes precedence over […]

The regulation change is being announced on June 22 alongside an executive order that reduces the inflow of blue-collar and white-collar migrants into U.S. jobs. The regulation change is huge because it will allow hundreds of thousands of young […]
Infowars and Alex Jones have relentlessly climbed the forbidden hill to reveal hidden truths most media only refers to in hushed tones. The real reason for the persona non grata status launched upon Infowars, regardless of the clear violation and suspension of the First Amendment, is that Infowars has continued to fearlessly pursue the evidence of the focused perspective of the Luciferian elite. And when this vital element is ignored, everything else degrades into propaganda and spin. Source link
Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, The last shred of power the elites hold is the belief of the masses that the elites are still in control. I understand the natural desire to believe somebody’s in charge: whether it’s the Deep State, the Chinese Communist Party, the Kremlin or Agenda 21 globalists, we’re primed to believe somebody somewhere is controlling events or pursuing agendas that drive global responses to events. I submit whatever control we discern is illusory, as the dynamics unleashed by the pandemic have already escaped the control of elites. The fundamental reason the elites have lost control is […]

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has weakened over time and could eventually die out without a vaccine, a top Italian infectious disease specialist recently told British outlet The Telegraph. According to Professor Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious diseases clinic at Italy’s Policlinico San Martino Hospital, the virus may have become less dangerous in recent months. “The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in severity,” he told the outlet. “In March and early April, the patterns were completely different. People were coming to the emergency department with a very difficult-to-manage illness, and they needed oxygen and […]
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar took Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh to task on Monday, repeatedly pressing him to defend Team Trump’s claim that the president was just “kidding” when he claimed over the weekend that he asked his administration to slow down coronavirus testing. During his sparsely attended Tulsa rally on Saturday night, President Donald Trump told his supporters that he called on officials to slow COVID-19 testing in order to decrease the number of confirmed cases in the country. A White House official later told The Daily Beast that Trump was “obviously kidding” and Trump aide Peter Navarro claimed […]

The Navy intends to acquire up to 30 new light amphibious warships, or LAW, to support new Marine Corps requirements. The vessels are needed to meet the challenges of “evolving threats in the global maritime environment,” according to the Navy program office, and are tied to the new operational concepts of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Distributed Maritime Operations as well as the Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030 effort. Once complete, the acquisition will have almost doubled the number of L-class amphibious ships already in naval service. Rather than accepting a new amphibious design built from the ground up, however, decision-makers […]
Via SchiffGold.com, On Friday, the Dow Jones was up around 400 points early in the day, but closed down just over 200 points. Meanwhile, gold had a solid rally that held up. The yellow metal was up about $20 on the day. Could this be a sign of things to come? In his podcast over the weekend, Peter said he thinks it just might be. I think the action in the stock market and the gold market Friday potentially is telling as to the future course of both markets.

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) said Taiwanese fighters “proactively drove off” the PLAAF aircraft. The incident marks the […]
The hope by now, the start of summer, China would be purchasing large amounts of agriculture products from American farmers to boost President Trump’s reelection odds ahead of the 2020 presidential election this fall.

Iowa Soybean Association president Tim Bardole told NBC News that President Trump’s signing of the phase one trade deal had been a disappointment, and China’s commitments as per the trade deal will likely not be met. “At this point, it hasn’t done near what we were hoping […]

Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton has claimed Israeli agents found “yellowcake uranium” in Iran in 2018, channeling the discredited intelligence used by the George W. Bush administration to justify invading Iraq. Israel’s Mossad retrieved “human-processed uranium” that was “perhaps yellowcake (uranium oxide in solid form)” during a “daring raid on Iran’s nuclear archives” in 2018, the mustachioed warmonger declared in his controversial Trump administration memoir, ‘The Room Where It Happened’. The discovery, Bolton alleged, was substantiated when the International Atomic Energy Agency subsequently conducted an inspection of Iran’s Turquzabad site. Israeli media trumpeted the vague, unverified claim over the […]

California has reached a new high in the number of hospitalizations related to COVID-19, surpassing the previous peak in late April. As of Saturday, the latest publicly available data show that state had 3,574 hospitalized patients with confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 1,163 were in intensive care. There were an additional 1,105 hospitalized patients with suspected COVID-19 cases. Hospitalizations are seen as a more reliable metric for tracking the coronavirus pandemic than new case numbers, as the figure does not hinge on the availability of testing. Before Saturday’s new high, the previous record was set April 29, when 3,497 people […]
