Crypto Regulation Emerges From G20.

Global leaders at the G20 summit, a collection of the 20 largest national economies in the world, are pushing for global cryptocurrency regulations that would give governments greater access to, as well as control over, cross-border transactions. The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) – first proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in 2022 – would grant greater power to state taxing authorities in order to reduce tax avoidance through the use of cryptocurrency.

The CARF would require an automatic and annual exchange of cryptocurrency transaction information between participating nations. President Joe Biden and other G20 leaders endorsed the intrusive CARF language; signing a statement saying: “We endorse the Financial Stability Board’s high-level recommendations for the regulation, supervision and oversight of crypto-assets activities and markets and of global stablecoin arrangements.”

Taking effect in 2027, the proposed regulatory framework would require crypto-exchanges to share an unprecedented level of information regarding transactions with governments around the world. That information would then be available to other participating governments, making the tracking of transactions and the identification of transactors much simpler for taxation purposes.

In response to the news that the G20 was advancing new regulations, the major non-stable coin cryptocurrencies opened with losses on Tuesday – including major players like Bitcoin and Ether. In Asian markets all of the top-10 non-stable coin cryptocurrencies also experienced loses. News that the bankrupt crypto-exchange FTX may receive court approval on September 13th to liquidate its remaining $3.4 billion in assets as added additional downward pressure on global cryptocurrency markets.

Britain Proposes Ban on American XL Bully Dogs.

The British government is considering banning American XL bully dogs following a series of attacks in the United Kingdom. Home Secretary Suella Braverman described the breed as a “clear and lethal danger” to people, particularly children. Braverman revealed that she has sought “urgent advice” on the matter after an XL bully attacked three individuals, including an 11-year-old child, over the weekend. Over half of the 10 fatal dog attacks in Britain last year involved an XL bully, according to the Guardian.

The American Bully Kennel Club describes the XL bully as a breed that gives the “impression of great strength for its size.” The British public has increasingly embraced XL bullies in recent years, viewing the dogs’ size and strength as a status symbol. However, experts and social media users were divided over whether recent attacks justified a full ban on the breed. Some advocated for stricter regulation of breeders and dog owners, while others supported a ban due to concerns over the breed’s reactivity and prey drive.

In Britain, if an owner is found to possess a banned breed without special court permission, police or local officials can seize the dog, even if it is not acting dangerously. The dog is then assessed for risk by an expert, and in some cases, euthanized. Owning a dog that is considered dangerously out of control in Britain is an offense that carries an unlimited fine and a prison sentence of up to six months. Dog attacks globally constitute tens of millions of injuries each year, with children at the highest risk.

Top Law Firms Illegally Discriminating Against Whites.

Five prominent law firms in the United States have been accused of operating diversity programs that either exclude white applicants or explicitly favor minorities. Morrison & Foerster and Perkins Coie were sued last month over their minority-only fellowships, and experts suggest that these lawsuits could have broader implications for the legal profession. Other firms being accused of the practice include Wachtell Lipton, Winston & Strawn, Baker McKenzie, Sidley Austin, and Susman Godfrey. These firms have been ranked as some of the top in the country.

The law firms’ diversity programs, which range from paid internships to mentoring programs and cash awards, have stringent criteria based on race. While many white-shoe law firms have initiatives to boost minority representation, these firms stand out by limiting or entirely excluding white applicants.

The potential legal challenges to these discriminatory practices are expected to increase following the Supreme Court’s decision regarding affirmative action, according to Kenneth Marcus, the former Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the Education Department during the Trump administration. Some experts believe that these programs violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and complainants argue that they are instances of pay discrimination and favor minority employees.

The recent affirmative action verdict may impact law firms’ decisions in defending race-based programs. Conservative groups they intend to launch a major campaign against radical corporate ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ programs. Professor David Bernstein from George Mason University Law School suggests most of these programs violate employment and contracting laws, including one that is ironically referred to as a scholarship but appears to be an employment bonus. In the case of Wachtell, however, experts argue that the firm has explicitly set aside a quota of first-year positions based on race, which they believe is blatantly illegal.

DATA: 70% of Americans Want Term Limits for Congressmen.

More than two-thirds of Americans from across the political spectrum – 70 percent – would support introducing term limits for Members of Congress, including 68 percent of Democrats and over three-quarters of Republicans at 76 percent, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports.

Only 15 percent of Americans would oppose such a step, comprised of 18 percent of Democrats and 13 percent of GOP voters. A further 15 percent told pollsters that they were not sure.

Rasmussen also asked the 1,062 likely U.S. voters: “How likely is it that Congress will vote to place meaningful term limits on members of Congress.” A total of 73 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats answered that it was unlikely, including 42 percent of both party bases answering “not at all likely.”

Less than one-quarter of GOP voters – 23 percent – believed it is likely, with 27 percent of Democrats concurring. Only eight percent of Republicans and 11 percent of Democrats thought it “very likely.”

The advanced age of America’s senior politicians has been increasingly questioned, with figures such as Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (81), President Joe Biden (80), and California Senator Dianne Feinstein (90) showing obvious signs of ill health. The 83-year-old Nancy Pelosi also announced this week that she will run for re-election next year.

WATCH: Mayor Spanked in Front of Kids by Tranny at Democrat ‘Drag Queen Bingo’.

The Mayor of Burbank, Konstantine Anthony, was bent over a table and spanked by a transvestite at the Santa Clarita Valley Democrats’ Drag Queen Bingo fundraiser the day before 9/11, causing uproar on social media.

Anthony, who is running for Los Angeles County Supervisor, can be seen smiling and clapping after being paddled by a man in a dress and platform heels in video shared by Chaya Raichik of Libs of TikTok, who said the mayor “received a spanking from a drag queen in front of children” at the event.

The Democrat vehemently denies children saw him being spanked and that the event was only attended by over-21s. Material promoting the event was incoherent, however, saying it was “not suitable for children” but also that it was open to anyone over age 15.

Local media reports it has not been possible to verify whether minors were present or not.

Anthony, who describes himself as an autistic ex-homeless on his website, also suggested that Raichik was “jealous” about his spanking.

New Mexico Sheriff Refuses To Enforce Unconstitutional Gun Ban.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is facing opposition from state law enforcement officials following her attempt to ban the use of concealed and open carry permits based on violent crime rates. Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen called the 30-day “public health order” unconstitutional during a press conference. Grisham issued the emergency order in response to recent instances of gun violence, but Sheriff Allen claims that law enforcement does not agree with the decision. Grisham has fired back at Allen, ordering him to enforce the order and stating that leaders need to stand up for victims of violent crime.

The temporary suspension of open and concealed carry applies to most public places in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Violators could face civil penalties and fines of up to $5,000. While state police are responsible for enforcing the order, not all law enforcement officials, including the district attorney, support it. Grisham defended her decision, citing recent shootings in Albuquerque as the reason for the order.

Among the incidents mentioned were the shooting outside an Albuquerque Isotopes’ field that left an 11-year-old boy dead, the shooting of a 5-year-old girl who was asleep in a mobile home, and a 14-year-old boy using his father’s gun to shoot and kill his friend. Grisham said she expects legal challenges to what many are calling a blatantly unconstitutional order but believes the action, regardless of legality, was necessary to address the issue of gun violence.

Trump ‘Must Die In Prison’, Says Muslim MSNBC Columnist.

Dean Obeidallah, a long-term Palestinian-American columnist for MSNBC, and radio host on SiriusXM, has argued that former President Donald Trump be given a long enough sentence that he dies in prison in order to “protect democracy”.

Obeidallah responded to a guest on his radio show about “how conservatives would react” if Biden said Trump could die while in jail, to which he stated:

“I think Donald Trump must die in prison because – I don’t care if he was 45 years old. You should get life in prison if you attempt a coup, and there should be no chance of parole.”

“Either we’re gonna protect the democrat republic or allow people – in this case Trump – to chip away at our democracy… that’s why I’m so passionate with every fibre of my being,” Obeidallah added.

Despite backlash over his comments, Obeidallah doubled down in a Substack article, arguing that Trump dying in prison would “send a loud and powerful message” to Americans that they would meet the same fate if they tried something similar. Donald Trump faces 641 years imprisonment if the 45th President is convicted on all charges brought against him by the four criminal indictments.

Iran Prez Gloats Over Biden $6bn Gift on 9/11.

In an interview, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi gloated that his government will determine how to allocate the $6 billion in previously frozen funds that are set to be released as part of a prisoner exchange agreement with the United States. Raisi asserted that the money will be spent “wherever we need it,” despite Biden government claims it was meant for “humanitarian purposes”.

Under Biden’s 9/11 agreement with the Islamic Republic, Iran will gain access to approximately $6 billion of oil revenues that were held in South Korean banks due to U.S. sanctions. The funds will be overseen by Qatar’s central bank. The Biden government has taken steps to facilitate the transfer and informed Congress on Monday that a waiver has been issued to allow international banks to transfer the funds to Qatar without the threat of U.S. sanctions.

While Raisi claimed that American prisoners were in good condition, their families have reported prolonged interrogations and mistreatment. Siamak Namazi, who has been imprisoned in Iran since 2015, revealed that he was held in solitary confinement for the first 27 months of his incarceration. Babak Namazi, Siamak’s brother, stated that Siamak was subjected to beatings. Iran has denied these allegations, asserting that the Americans were treated lawfully and rejecting accusations from the United Nations and human rights organizations that they were detained on false charges.

German Health Ministry Claims No Mortality Difference Between Vaxxed and Unvaxxed.

The German Federal Ministry of Health has said that there is no “significant difference” in mortality between the vaccinated and unvaccinated in response to questioning from Alternative for Germany (AfD)’s Roger Beckamp in the country’s parliament – the Bundestag.

Beckamp requested a response from German Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach‘s parliamentary secretary, Edgar Franke, regarding “placebo-controlled, randomized and blinded scientific studies” investigating the effectiveness of the BioNTech vaccine Comirnaty, which was conducted using over 43,000 participants, 50 percent of whom received the jab, with the other being treated with a placebo.

Frank responded that there was no significant difference between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, explaining:

“Until the time of the blinding of the study, a statistically significant difference in all-cause mortality between the group of people vaccinated with the vaccine candidate and the group of people vaccinated with placebo was not scientifically detectable.”

Following the response, Beckamp demanded the German government officially acknowledge the COVID vaccines do not work – something he also claims the government has known for some time.

The Lauterbach-led German Health Ministry became infamous in the country for its virulent support of vaccine mandates as well as draconian lockdown measures. Lauterbach himself was one of the main proponents of the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” myth.

Attacks on US Power Grid Surge.

The number of physical and cyber attacks on the United States power grid is rapidly increasing, with the country expected to surpass the current record set in 2022 of 164 by the end of the year.

There were 94 attacks on crucial electric infrastructure grids within the first six months of 2023, which is 27 more than at the same point in 2022, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). The difference was greater still in the first quarter of this year, with a staggering 62 compared to 30 in the first three months of 2022. However, the number is likely far higher as multiple reports of attacks were not recorded in the DOE’s official figures.

“There is no doubt there’s been an uptick over the last three years in the amount of incidents and also the severity of the incidents,” stated Manny Cancel, senior vice president at the North America Electric Reliability Corp, before explaining that attacks spiked during the 2020 and 2022 election seasons.

Nine attacks this year led to major disruptions affecting up to tens of thousands of people. Last year witnessed the largest attack, which impacted over 45,000 people across three states – Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Law enforcement officials have suggested “right-wing extremism” is to blame for the majority of attacks.
