California is advancing its digital identity initiatives, integrating digital IDs into government services beyond just driver's licenses, including public benefits and transit programs. The state is collaborating with agencies like Cal-ITP (for transit discounts) and federal entities (VA, CMS) to automate eligibility verification for benefits, with plans to expand pilots statewide. It emphasizes privacy compliance, working with the California Privacy Protection Agency to minimize data collection and allow user control over shared information under the Delete Act. Privacy advocates warn of potential surveillance, data breaches and "mission creep," where digital ID systems could expand beyond their original purpose, increasing risks of misuse.
On this Memorial Day weekend when Americans are supposed to reflect back to honor our dead soldiers that have fought for our freedoms over the centuries, I’m reminded of an article I wrote for Global Research nearly 10 years ago. I came to realize that unconditionally “supporting our troops” has been a big part of the problem why America has been at war somewhere in this world 93% of our quarter millennium as a nation. As the most warring nation on earth, supporting our troops might not be such an honorable thing to do after all, 30 million [and counting] dead victims later since WWII. It’s really nothing to celebrate or be proud of at all.

South Korea is raising the alarm after the nation’s surging excess deaths have been linked to severe adverse events caused by Covid mRNA “vaccines.” The alert was issued after the South Korean government published the findings of a bombshell new study on skyrocketing mortality rates among the Covid-vaccinated. The study was conducted by leading scientists at the nation’s equivalent of the U.S. CDC, the Gyeonggi Infectious Disease Control Center (GIDCC). The GIDCC’s Dr. Min Cheol Song led a team of researchers who hypothesized that the mortality rates are soaring among patients who experienced severe serious adverse events (SAEs) following a Covid “vaccination.” The researchers investigated patients to see if mortality rates differ depending on whether they received a homologous (same vaccine platform) or heterologous (mix-and-match) prime-boost regimen.

Migration and economic issues were the most commonly cited reasons, according to a YouGov survey. More than half of Germans would consider moving abroad, Die Welt has reported, citing a new survey by YouGov. Respondents pointed to migration and economic challenges as the main reasons for wanting to leave the country. According to the poll, 31% of those surveyed said they would “definitely” move abroad if they were entirely free to choose, without constraints related to work, personal life, or finances. Another 27% said they would “probably” leave. In contrast, 22% responded “probably not,” and 15% said they would “definitely not” consider relocating.
Native-born Germans are dying out, while one in three of German residents between 20 and 39 is now of a migration background. Germany’s migrant population is surging, with new data from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) revealing that more than one in four people now living in the country has a migration background. In 2024, the number of residents with an immigration background rose by 4 percent, or 873,000 people, compared to the previous year, reaching a record 21.2 million. This represents 25.6 percent of the total population, up from 24.7 percent in 2023.
In February, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered $4.7 trillion in payments made by the US Treasury that are “almost impossible” to trace – as Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) identification codes were optional in the system. This left billions in payments blank and unable to be traced. “Of the 1.5 billion payments that we send out every year, they are required to have a TAS, a Treasury Account Symbol. We discovered that more than one third of those payments did not have a TAS number,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services earlier this month.
Texas could fine doctors $250,000 for changing patients' recorded sex on their medical documents as part of a new bill. The Texas House of Representatives approved a bill on Thursday requiring health agencies to record the sex assigned at patients' births on forms. The bill includes penalties for those who do not comply. Meanwhile, a separate Texas bill could make it a felony for transgender people to identify their gender differently from their sex assigned at birth on official documents with government entities or employers. The bill could fine doctors $250,000 for changing patients' recorded sex. However, it also has an exemption stating it does not stop gender identity information from being included in health records.

According to the calculations, since the beginning of the military operation, at least 4,492 Russians have been returned, with 1,000 of them swapped in the most recent exchange on May 23-25. About 4,500 Russian citizens have been brought back from territories controlled by the Kiev regime via 39 swaps since the onset of the special military operation, according to TASS’ calculations based on information from the Russian Defense Ministry and the office of the Russian human rights commissioner. According to the calculations, since the beginning of the military operation, at least 4,492 Russians have been returned, with 1,000 of them swapped in the most recent exchange on May 23-25 which has become the most substantial over the entire time.

Muh muh muh... they were a young couple (with their whole lives ahead of them) who were ‘about to be’ engaged (and they had just gotten a baby Komodo that they were going to raise in the bathtub!!!) Meanwhile, small children are being burned alive in Gaza for the offense of remaining alive in... their... own... country... while people who have no right to be there are stealing it from them and punishing them for the inconvenience of them being there.

Although the possibility of spike protein expression due to asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection cannot be entirely excluded, this study demonstrated prolonged presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the cerebral arteries following mRNA vaccination. Additionally, some inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in spike-positive vessels. These findings raise significant concerns regarding the biodistribution of lipid nanoparticle-based vaccines and their long-term safety. Global replication studies are urgently required to validate these findings and ensure comprehensive safety evaluations of mRNA vaccines.

The SEC claims thousands of investors were drawn in by “fictitious promises” that the crypto assets were backed by billions of dollars in real estate. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has sued crypto investment platform Unicoin and three of its executives, alleging they made false and misleading statements about their crypto assets that raised over $100 million from investors. The SEC said on May 20 that it charged Unicoin CEO Alex Konanykhin, board member Silvina Moschini and former investment chief Alex Dominguez with misleading over 5,000 investors about certificates that conveyed rights to receive Unicoin tokens and stock.

A study of 2.3 million patients found mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients had a 30% higher risk of thyroid disorders (e.g., hypothyroidism) compared to unvaccinated individuals, with over 4,000 extra hypothyroidism cases observed. Those who received only one dose faced double the risk. The study suggests mRNA vaccines may trigger autoimmune reactions, where the immune system attacks thyroid tissue, mirroring concerns seen with other conditions like myocarditis and hepatitis. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine (non-mRNA) showed no elevated thyroid risks, pointing to mRNA-specific effects. Thyroid dysfunction can lead to chronic metabolic issues (weight gain, high cholesterol, cardiovascular stress). Researchers warn of slow-progressing symptoms that may be overlooked, emphasizing the need for post-vaccination thyroid monitoring.
US President Donald Trump greets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. © Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has trapped himself in a predicament that requires him to either bow out of power or drag his whole state down with him. In over 18 months, Israel has failed to defeat any of its enemies and escalation in Gaza could be the most dangerous decision he has taken yet. While the Israeli prime minister insists on continuing the war on Gaza, holding to his pledge to “crush and destroy” Hamas, he has failed to do so and according to his own nation’s intelligence estimates, the victory he speaks of is nowhere in sight. Now, Netanyahu has declared a new military operation in the Gaza Strip, labelling it “Gideon’s Chariots,” allegedly seeking the re-occupation of the entirety of the besieged coastal territory.

Former Ukrainian lawmaker and presidential adviser Andrey Portnov was fatally shot in a suburb of the Spanish capital, Madrid, on Wednesday, local media has reported. The circumstances of the murder suggest it may have been an “extrajudicial execution,” as Portnov may have had access to information that could threaten figures in Vladimir Zelensky’s administration, Rodion Miroshnik, Russia’s ambassador-at-large overseeing a special mission on alleged Ukrainian war crimes, has said.

Examples from other wars | If you can point to the other person and give a good reason to say He started it!, you can get away with war, even if it's based on an outright lie. In international law, it is forbidden to start a war unless someone has attacked you first. To some however it is so imperative to start one, that they would create a false attack against themselves to legitimize it. When we look at the USA's wars after the Second World War, this is a recurring pattern. All of the wars for which the US has been responsible were started because of false, self-created events, and all were probably illegal under international law.
The WHO's parent body, the U.N. openly seeks a global government through all areas of life via a ‘global transformation'. Interestingly, the document said the Secretariat and the Director-General of the WHO will not gain power to direct or order national or domestic law under this agreement, such as, for example, imposing forced vaccination polices. This is a very specific restriction, as the WHO officials it restricts are limited and the document doesn't even seek to directly control national or domestic law, it seeks to implement a global medical dictatorship. On Tuesday member countries of the globalist medical control system The World Health Organization adopted an international ‘Pandemic Agreement‘ with no country objecting. 124 voted in favor with 11 abstaining. The globalist body described the document as a “historic pandemic agreement to make the world more equitable and safer from future pandemics.” In reality, the agreements binds member countries to a single WHO-directed response to future pandemics, effectively instituting a global medical dictatorship.

Due to France’s drug trafficking crisis, a large majority of French are in favor of the army being deployed into disadvantaged neighborhoods in problematic neighborhoods in France, including 80 percent of women. According to a CSA poll conducted for CNews, Europe 1 and JDD, 76 percent of French people overall want the army called in to battle drug trafficking in “disadvantaged neighborhoods.” In fact, women are more supportive of troops being deployed than men, with 80 percent of women saying yes to the question: “Should the army be called in to combat drug trafficking in troubled neighborhoods?” In turn, only 72 percent of men supported such an action.
