Pfizer, one of the region’s largest employers, to close two NC Triangle facilities

“The Durham closure comes only two years after Pfizer opened that site as part of $66 million investment by the company. The 85,000-square-foot facility focused on gene therapy treatments.

On Oct. 13, Pfizer announced it would undergo a multiyear plan to save $3.5 billion, including $1 billion by the end of this year. The company also lowered its yearly revenue forecast due to lower-than-expected sales of its COVID-19 vaccine.”

"Hamas heavyweight Muhammad Qassem Sawalha, 62, was discovered living in London in a home bankrolled by UK citizens. Here’s the kicker: he lives in a Jewish neighborhood. Apparently, living amongst Jews isn’t so bad if a huge chunk of your home is paid for with someone else’s cheddar.

"Sawalha and his wife scored a tasty $136,500 taxpayer-funded kiss when they bought a two-story home in London for $390,000. The house is paid off.

"Sawalha, who is wanted in Israel for being a member of Hamas, skedaddled to London using a cousin’s passport in the 1990s and snagged his own British passport in the early 2000s."

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 🇪🇬 Verified document from Israeli Ministry of Intelligence on October 13 suggests forced displacement of Gaza civilians to Egypt would "yield positive and long term strategic results"

The advisory document envisions a three stage process including the establishment of tent cities in Sinai and opening of humanitarian corridor, followed by construction of cities in northerm Sinai from which there would be no return Gaza

A week after the Hamas attack, Israel's Ministry of Intelligence issued a secret ten-page document outlining the expulsion of the Palestinian population of Gaza to northern Sinai, in Egypt:

1. Instruct Palestinian civilians to vacate north Gaza ahead of land operations;
2. Sequential land operations from north to south Gaza;
3. Routes across Rafah to be left clear;
4. Establish tent cities in northern Sinai and construct cities to resettle Palestinians in Egypt

The document has been verified by an official from the Ministry of Intelligence, according to the Hebrew website Mekomit which originally published the document. Mekomit noted that documents from the Ministry of Intelligence are advisory and not binding on the executive

Tsutomu Yamaguchi (16 March 1916 – 4 January 2010) was a Japanese marine engineer and a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings during World War II. He is the only person to have been officially recognized by the government of Japan as surviving both explosions.
A resident of Nagasaki, Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 AM, on 6 August 1945. He returned to Nagasaki the following day and, despite his wounds, he returned to work on 9 August, the day of the second atomic bombing. That morning, while he was being told by his supervisor that he was "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated. In 1957, he was recognized as a hibakusha ("explosion-affected person") of the Nagasaki bombing, but it was not until 24 March 2009, that the government of Japan officially recognized his presence in Hiroshima three days earlier. He died of stomach cancer on 4 January 2010, at the age of 93.

"The story of nattokinase begins with a fermented soybean product called “natto” that the Japanese have consumed for centuries, with purported health benefits.

"Turns out they were right — with many of the health benefits attributable to an enzyme found within called “nattokinase.”

"Nattokinase has so many health benefits — particularly for the cardiovascular system — that I consider it a top 3 supplement every human being should be taking. (I take it everyday and even take it on vacations... I know, I’m a geek)."

$18,500,000,000 in US Treasuries Sold by BRICS Trio of China, India and Brazil in One Month

A trio of BRICS member nations are unloading billions upon billions of dollars worth of US Treasuries.

New numbers from the U.S. Treasury Department show China’s ownership of Treasury securities plunged from $821.5 billion in July to $805.4 billion in August – a decrease of about $16.4 billion.

Fellow BRICS member India also pared its US Treasury holdings by $1.5 billion in the same time frame, from $227.4 billion down to $223.2 billion.

And Brazil slashed its ownership of US Treasuries from $233.1 billion in July to $232.5 billion in August, a reduction of $600 million.

All in all, the BRICS trio sold off $18.5 billion worth of US government-backed securities.

China, the second-largest foreign holder of US Treasuries, has consistently sold off its Treasury trove this year since it peaked in March at $869.3 billion.

Earlier this month, Adam Kobeissi, founder and editor-in-chief of The Kobeissi Letter, said that China could be unloading its Treasury holdings due to a potential economic downturn.

"For the first time in at least 20 years, the US plans to build and install over-the-horizon (OTH) radar systems – four of them. At the same time, Canada plans to acquire two additional systems for its northwest. 

"The resulting six systems are aimed at providing an early warning capability to detect the launch and track of Russian and Chinese long-range cruise missiles – although the US does not yet have any clear plan on how to shoot them down."

"On September 28, an en banc panel from the Ninth Circuit grabbed control of the Duncan v. Bonta. The magazine ban case in a stunning departure from the usual order of the court. It may or may not have violated the rules of the court. Several of the judges on the panel were not happy. Four judges of the eleven-judge panel dissented. Of particular interest was the dissent of Judge VanDyke."
