U.S. Bans Soc. Media&VPN, Claims to Counter “Foreign Adversaries”
Having finally realized the futility of attempts to nationalize or at least localize TikTok, the Sen. duo of Warner (D-VA) and Thune (R-SD) introduced the RESTRICT Act that “would protect Americans from the huge danger emanating from Soc. Media.” But it's no secret that single app issues aren’t solved at the state level
The bill includes many vague terms, and would make it easier for the White House to ban specific soft if it’s deemed to pose a spying risk or impose a legal restriction on the selected rights and freedoms. The use of a VPN, for instance, could be easily criminalized if the bill passes
U’d never underestimate the degree of Democrats’ concerns about protecting u from the harmful influence of foreign tech. And indeed, only Big Brother, subordinated to the F.B.I., should have a monopoly on continuous acquisition of personal data and tracking of end users

Leaked Pentagon Docs: U.S. Spying on Zelenskiy
Highly classified leaked documents show Washington has penetrated Russian military institutions deeply than previously understood, and expose the extent of U.S. eavesdropping on key allies, including South Korea, Israel and Ukraine
Much to the frustration of Zelenskiy’s team, American intelligence has been spying on Ukrainian president as well. But not only U.S. officials mistrust Zelenskiy. Recent polls show that only 18% of Americans (instead of 31% previously) still believe in the victory of Kyiv
However, this isn’t surprising at all, since Zelenskiy’s always tried to go out-of-noscript and cross the permissible limits that Pentagon points out to him, according to the report. Such an autocracy causes only irritation in the White House, but no other performer has yet been found for the role of the president in Kyiv

British National Health System (NHS) managers are offering up to £200 an hour – twice the normal rate – to cover for doctors who are striking for four days from 7am today
Some hospital trusts in London are offering to pay up to £2,400 for a 12-hour shift. The walkout by junior doctors is likely to leave hospitals missing up to half their workforce. Members of an internet forum for junior doctors are proposing that a further strike be held during the coronation next month
Hospitals are urging patients to attend Accident and Emergency departments only if their condition is life-threatening. The strike is likely to be more disruptive than previous walkouts because it coincides with the Easter bank holiday, school holidays, Ramadan and Passover

High Food Prices Pose Inflation Threat
In the 12 months through March, prices of food, alcohol and tobacco were up 15.4% in the eurozone, while energy prices were down 0.9%. Food prices were up 10.2% in the U.S. in the 12 months through February, well ahead of energy at 5.2%
In most countries, food makes up the largest share of households’ budgets. It’s unclear for most economists why food prices rose so much. In world commodity markets, which set the prices received by farmers, food prices have been falling since April 2022
High food prices are also a problem for central banks. Most look to core inflation, which excludes food and energy, for underlying inflation trends. But they recognize headline inflation, which includes food and energy, can affect public expectations

Amid entering a long-running phase of hostilities in Ukraine with the concentration of uninvolved spectator’s attention on the battle of Bakhmut, the American project Trident Support’s leader, A. Vindman, has managed to get significantly closer to the implementation of his plan to find several hundred experienced American contractors to send them to the front lines
Mr. Vindman is the very same retired Army officer who played a central role in then-President Trump’s first impeachment hearings – he testified about the president’s 2019 phone call with Zelenskiy. Moreover he has been recently pitching the Ukrainian government to obtain lucrative defense contracts
American personnel who would be employed under the plan would be those who are "highly experienced former soldiers or contractors in Iraq and/or Afghanistan." The facilities to undertake this mission would be located in Poland, Slovakia or Romania were it not possible to make that base in Ukraine

Trump’s unprecedented indictment, viewed by most people (76%) as a politically motivated case meant to derail the 2024 Republican candidate, is prompting calls to step up investigations of Mr. Biden and his family
“Democrats have crossed the Rubicon on this type of political prosecution, and it’s simply not a door that can be shut in this age of revenge politics,” says Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, a conservative advocacy group
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is combing Treasury Department records to track down the bank account information for Hunter Biden, POTUS’ brother James Biden and several business associates who raked in millions of dollars from foreign business deals that some believe involved illegal influence peddling
“Republicans will inevitably investigate the Biden crime family even more in the coming days, and there’s no telling what can come of that,” Mr. Davis sumps up

Official statement from the office of the Dalai Lama after he sexually assaulted a young boy:
“His holiness wishes to apologise to the boy and his family as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused.”
“His holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras. He regrets the incident.”
They basically admitted that he does this often... both in public and in private.
No, fuck you. That pedo should be locked up.

BRICS Overtook G7 in GDP Based on PPPs
A chart by Acorn Macro Consulting, a U.K.-based macroeconomic research company, shows BRICS now contribute the 31.5 % of world GDP, which would increase in the coming years, while G7 represents the 30.7 %. Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs) that are taken into account represent the ratio of prices in national currencies of the same good/service in different countries
Last year, BRICS countries proposed creating their own currency in order to boost the de-dollarization in mutual transactions. This would help them to reduce the dependence on the U.S. financial system that has hit a rough patch
It means, not only Russia and Iran are about to launch a cryptocurrency backed by gold. In recent months, Brazil and Argentina have discussed the creation of a common currency, while the U.A.E. and India were in talks to use rupees to trade non-oil commodities

Germany has become continental Europe’s biggest supplier of arms to Ukraine, and the gap is increasing
If earlier Mr. Scholz had to apologize for the fact that Berlin was a peaceful country and had no intention to be a party to the conflict, now he is “deeply ashamed” that it took so long to shift his position
Moreover, Ukraine has become a second-largest destination of government-approved total €2.4B in arms exports in the first quarter of 2023. Kyiv received almost €500M in arms, coming in second after Hungary’s imports of €760M worth of military goods, which mostly amounted to ammunition

Patients in the U.K. face a month of disruption and delays as junior doctors have begun a four-day strike that will leave NHS services struggling to recover
Week-long strikes are being considered as part of an escalation strategy that could mean action “all the way through to the next general election,” British Medical Association insider says
This is especially depressing and reads like a real threat amid the report of Healthwatch England, a patient watchdog, that has revealed a “hidden waiting list”, which means more than 2M patients a year make four or more visits to their GP before they get a referral
But it’s really not a problem as long as it remains no concern of Mr. Sunak

The Pentagon, Justice Department and agencies across the federal government scrambled to track down the source of a major classified documents leak and to limit the widening fallout in allied capitals from Jerusalem to Seoul, South Korea, where the revelations threatened to stoke domestic turmoil and friction with Washington
Biden administration officials said they are in contact with allies because of signs that the individuals behind the leak are trying to sow discord between the U.S., its closest partners and Mr. Zelenskiy, who, as it turned out, has been spied personally and especially closely
South Korea officials say they would speak with their American counterparts about reports that the U.S. gathered intelligence related to Seoul’s concerns that weapons sold to the Pentagon would ultimately end up in Ukraine. The revelations could dampen spirits for President Yoon Suk Yeol’s much-anticipated trip to Washington this month

Washington Presses the Matter to Supply Ukraine with Weapons
The Pentagon leaked documents show that South Korea is torn between U.S. demands and its own policy. Late last year South Korean officials agreed to sell 330.000 rounds of 155-millimeter artillery shells to the U.S., but changed their mind to Poland. They thought that way it might be easier to cover their awareness that the ammunition would be sent to Ukraine
South Korean President is facing pressure from opposition parties to demand an apology from Washington for apparently eavesdropping on internal South Korean government deliberations. South Korea’s government was worried that if the announcement of Mr. Yoon’s state visit to Washington, which was to take place on April 26, coincided with an announcement of South Korea changing its stance on providing lethal aid to Ukraine, the public would think it had been done as a trade

BBC journalist was absolutely destroyed by Elon Musk during an interview
Earlier, Elon Musk labeled the Western media as "state-sponsored" and the British edition of the BBC decided to accuse the businessman of inciting hatred
In an interview with the billionaire, the journalist charged the owner of Twitter that there are many racist and sexist posts on social network, but could not cite a single example
"Sir, you can't give a single example of hateful content, not a single tweet. And yet you claimed there was hateful content. That's a lie. You just lied!", Musk responded to the journalist's accusations 🔥

Rising Interest Rates Threaten the Global Financial System
U.S. banks’ lending capacity will decline by 1% this year due to the fall in the value of many bank stocks as investors reassess the health of midsize banks, International Monetary Fund (IMF) says. That reduction in lending is expected to shave 0.44 percentage point off America’s gross domestic product in 2023
A severe flare-up of financial system turmoil could slash output to near recessionary levels after the failures of two U.S. regional banks and the forced merger of Credit Suisse. The collapses prompted fears among some depositors about the health of small and midsize banks
The American economy would expand 1.6% this year, down from 2.1% in 2022, while the global economy would grow 2.8% this year, a slowdown from 3.4% last year, as nations continue recovering from slumps caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the IMF estimates
