TOP STORIES
CAN BLOCKCHAIN SAVE US FROM FAKE NEWS? THESE RESEARCHERS SAY YES – A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo are building a blockchain system to publish news that is assured of being “truthful.” The researchers are developing the technology to combat “misinformation,” or “fake news,” which they say is threatening democratic institutions.
The technology has three elements, blockchain (which enables decentralized publication from transparent interests), human intelligence through a quorum of “validators,” and finally a check on validators through an “entropy-based incentive mechanism.” In essence, it boils down to “popular opinion,” though the researchers would be loath to describe it in that manner.

NEW YORK WANTS TO LICENSE 3D PRINTERS – In a move that could set a precedent leading to government licensing for 3D printers, the far-left blue state of New York has a bill in its legislature called AB A8132 that would require its citizens to go through a criminal background check before they can purchase a 3D printer to ostensibly protect citizens from criminals being able to make “ghost guns,” which is just a far-left anti-American term for homemade guns, the heart of resistance to tyranny the world over.
The author of the bill, Jenifer Rakjumar, said of the bill “Three-dimensionally printed firearms, a type of untraceable ghost gun, can be built by anyone using a $150 three-dimensional printer. This bill will require a background check so that three-dimensional printed firearms do not get in the wrong hands.” GO DEEPER
BIDENS MADE MILLIONS HELPING ARM HAMAS? – An indictment against Biden whistleblower Gal Luft has accidently revealed the Bidens’ connections to a Chinese-Communist-Party-controlled conglomerate that depended on Joe Biden’s influence on government to essentially sell weapons to a provider of arms to the bloodthirsty death cult Hamas. The company, CEFC China Energy, supplied the Bidens with millions of “consulting” dollars in exchange for their manipulation of government to sell arms to Qatar which were then delivered to Hamas. GO DEEPER
BIDEN TO DEPLOY TROOPS TO ISRAEL – The Biden administration has called up 2,000 U.S. troops to be deployed in Israel ostensibly to serve in support roles, not combat roles. The troops are being drawn from bases in the Middle East and Europe.
AMERICA’S SOLDIERS ARE NOT FIT TO SERVE, LITERALLY – The Woke Military is now the fat military, as the Defense Department reveals 68 percent of U.S. soldiers are overweight, even obese, a figure that has exploded in the last 10 years as the military infrastructure was debased first by Obama and now by Biden to assure the leaders are politically aligned with the DNC-CCP, as opposed to America. 21.6 percent of soldiers are obese, meaning they are entirely useless in combat, a figure that rose from 10.4 percent in 2022.

HEADLINES
TRENDING (M-F)
IF YOU MURDERED AN ISRAELI CHILD, YOU MIGHT MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS – The so-called “Pay to Play” policy of the Palestinian authority could result in families of Hamas killers that murdered Israeli citizens in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (including women and children) receiving $17,500 from the PA as a reward for their family member’s evil acts.
NYC SAYS NO MAS TO SANCTUARY CITY – While New York City hasn’t quite rejected its Sanctuary City status (cities that say “illegal immigrants” can stay in their cities, even if the Federal government wants them deported, which this administration doesn’t), Mayor Eric Adams is finding that the blood and bone reality of cost is shattering the far left ideological construct of virtue signaling their love of lawless borders that undermine American sovereignty (which is what declaring your city a “Sanctuary City” really boils down to, as we are seeing across this country).
The Mayor is now limiting the stay for these illegals to 60 days, else the city will go bankrupt and Eric Adams’ personal power and ambitions for more power will go up in illegal immigration smoke.

WORLD (M-F)
ECUADOR RISES FROM ITS LEFTIST ASHES – After taking out one non-leftist candidate for President (who was assassinated), the Ecuadoran powers that be could not protect itself from being undone by another, Daniel Noboa, who won the Presidency by a vote of 52 to 48. Noboa said of the win, “Tomorrow your new president of the republic will get to work.”
UN CONTINUES WITHDRAWAL FROM MALI – The situation in Mali remains grave as the junta that rose to power overthrowing an Islamo-fascist regime now finds itself abandoned by the UN, The UN is withdrawing troops from the region from the Kidal region, allowing the Islamist militants to gain more power in its effort to restore the bloodthirsty death cult that is Islamo-fascism over the country once again.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
CHUTKAN MOVES ONE STEP CLOSER TO JAILING TRUMP – The lawfare assassin judge overseeing one of the kangaroo court trials aimed at stopping the main foil for resistance to the DNC-CCP, Donald J Trump, has issued a “limited” gag order on the President that would make it impossible for him to defend himself against baseless accusations by political opponents, something Trump is most likely not doing to do.
The move is intended, by this writer’s analysis, to lay the groundwork to “justify” arresting and imprisoning this symbol of resistance as a means of deterring any additional meaningful resistance to the DNC as well as emboldening its operatives to take even more violent actions, be they state-platformed, corporate-platformed, or rogue actions by their green shirt army known as Antifa.
TODAY IS JIM JORDAN DAY, FOR GOOD OR FOR ILL – We are about to find out if the GOP is now prepared to openly collude with America’s enemy, the Democratic party, or not, when we see the final vote for the speakership nomination of Jim Jordan, which is expected to take place today, October 17, 2023.
Rumors swirl supporting an easy passage as Jordan breaks down resistance from within the party to his nomination, who see it as an afront to their RNC-lite champion, Kevin McCarthy (who has publicly endorsed Jordan). Still, other rumors have emerged that suggest Republicans are pledging to compromise with the anti-American party, exposing their true nature that this writer has called out since well before 2009 when they pushed RINO poster boy John McCain to politely lose to Marxist elitist Barack Hussein Obama in 2008.

EDITOR’S CHOICE (T-F)
FATHER SEEKS JUSTICE AFTER MOTHER, HOSPITAL MANGLE CHILD IN ADVANCE OF TRANS FASCISM – A grieving father is seeking justice after the mother of his son subjected him to trans surgery, mangling his body with the surgeon’s knife and the chemical cocktail called “gender therapy.” The father, Ted Hudacko, received an order from a court prohibiting the mother from destroying her son’s life in the name of her death cult ideology.
That order was ignored by the mother and the “hospital” that carried through with the medieval, barbarian practice in the name of “science,” but really in the name of far-leftism, which holds that man is not made in God’s image but rather man will be made by the leftist state’s image.
MASSACHUSETTS SAYS NO MAS TO SANCTUARY STATE STATUS – Much like New York city, the state of Massachusetts is finding the virtue-signaling idealism of far-leftism is not aligned with blood and bone reality. The state is set to revoke its status as a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants as the cost of virtue signaling is affecting the personal power of the DNC-CCP operatives that control that fallen American state.

SCI-TECH (T-F)
VR SOLDIERS TO BE PROTECTED FROM “COGNITIVE ATTACKS?” – The Department of Defense’s Research and development agency, DARPA, is working on technologies that will protect U.S. soldiers using virtual or mixed reality devices from “cognitive attacks.” These attacks are theoretical, but likely, and the technology to combat them do not yet exist. The attacks could render the devices unusable.
DARPA said of these attacks: Such attacks can include information flooding to increase equipment latency and induce physical illness, planting real-world objects to overwhelm displays, subverting a personal area network to sow confusion, injecting virtual data to distract personnel, using objects to overwhelm a user with confusing false alarms, assessing user status through an eye tracker, and other potential attacks.
3D-PRINTED “HUMAN” HEART TO BE IMPLANTED IN PIG BY 2028? – Researchers out of Stanford claim to be working on a project that will be able to 3D print a functioning model of a human heart which can be implanted in a living being. They hope to run tests using pigs by 2028.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
