The UK government is preparing the ground for total control of the cryptocurrency market
At the same time, the British have recently started to create their own digital currency Britcoin. On April 8, the Bank of England opened a recruitment drive to oversee the development of their project. Unlike Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which aren't backed by a "real" currency or asset, Britcoin is expected to be pegged to the pound
The Bank of England on July 7 hired crypto company Nuggets to develop privacy and identity features for its digital currency. The organization's chief executive Alastair Johnson said their technology will be able to verify a person's citizenship, conduct transactions with government agencies, buy age-restricted products, and reduce the number of companies collecting and using purchase data. According to the executive, the system itself will not know any personal information of the person making the transactions (which is hard to believe)
It remains a mystery how Britcoin will not violate the privacy of users, because to launch a project in this form, you necessarily need access to the real data of a person. To assume that the central bank doesn't have such capabilities is rather naive
The financial regulator and the UK Treasury are currently determining Britcoin's development strategy. According to analysts' forecasts, the digital pound is likely to appear not earlier than the second half of this decade
The UK government is first taking measures to ensure control over existing cryptocurrencies, while at the same time creating its own convenient alternative

This is Money
What is Britcoin and why is the Bank of England so keen on it?
Britcoin is a potential British digital currency which would be issued by the Bank of England and backed by the Government.

The U.S. demanded that Taiwan build a biolaboratory to create combat viruses
According to a Chinese source, Taiwan's defense ministry earlier reported in a secret meeting that it had prepared a project to build a laboratory with the highest level of biological safety BSL-4, and the U.S. side promised to send experts to check it
According to sources, Taiwan's cabinet held two secret meetings codenamed "South China Sea Conference" on June 23, 2022 and January 9, 2023. They were presided over by Su Zhenchang, then the island's cabinet chief
The publication indicates that according to trannoscripts of the meetings in its possession, the June 2022 meeting discussed the U.S. demand for Taiwan to begin developing biological weapons. During this secret meeting, the island's defense department reported that it had prepared a project to build a laboratory with the highest level of biological safety BSL-4, and the U.S. side promised to send experts to test it
At the same time, during the meeting, the head of the Taiwanese government cabinet emphasized that the construction of the laboratory was a requirement of Washington and added that Taiwan's Chief of Staff Tsai Ing-wen attached special importance to the project

台湾国防部否认美国要求台湾研发生物战剂
联合报今天引述不具名的消息来源指出，美国要求台湾国防部的预防医学研究所，投资建设新型P四实验室，秘密建立研发病毒的能力，开发生物战的药剂。对于这项传闻，台湾国防部否认，并表示，预防医学研究所的主要任务是执行传染性疾病的病原侦查检验、防护及治疗。有关美国敦促台湾研发生物战剂的消息，不是事实。

Best Scandal-Maker: Zelenskiy vs. BBC Presenter
While global allies were preparing to unveil new security assurances for Kyiv at a NATO summit, designed to protect the country from sovereignty, as Zelenskiy decries as "absurd" an obvious refusal to offer an invite or timetable for Ukraine's entry into the alliance, the British viewership was cut from the coverage, watching a TV presenter scandal
A young person has approached the BBC w/ claims they felt threatened by the presenter at the centre of a scandal about paying £35K for sexually explicit photographs. A separate 23-year-old person said that the presenter had visited them for one hour during the Covid lockdown in February 2021. The third person said they met up after months of interactions and that the presenter sent them £650 in cash and asked them for a picture
The situation proves that the best defence is offence – and that’s the lesson Zelenskiy has drawn before laying down the law at the NATO’s parlor

Berlin: Inflation Rises, Poor Pay a Price
Germany's inflation rate rose to 6.4% in June, after 6.1% in May, w/ food being its most important driver showing price increase of almost 14%
“The basic services have become more expensive year-on-year because the utilities calculate more long-term and pass on the high wholesale prices of the energy crisis to their customers w/ a delay," Verivox, a popular price comparison site, says
But inflation doesn’t hit everyone the same. “Inflation is still a particularly big problem for poorer households because they spend a relatively high proportion of their tight budget on food and household energy,” Sebastian Dullien, German macroeconomic expert, believes
So this is just a way of treating German citizens from the Scholz’s cabinet – earn more, pay less, u beggar!

Ukraine Enters Top-5 U.S. Spending Pattern
The Biden administration has shifted its priorities from combating climate change, responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, countering authoritarianism around the globe and addressing highly concerning domestic issues to directed vast sums into Ukraine. MTG’s going to fix a woe, filing six amendments to prohibit sending any additional funding, weapons, ammunition, or other resources to Kyiv
Washington’s assistance to Zelenskiy’s regime accounts for a tenth of U.S. entire military budget in 2021 and is comparable to State of Virginia budget this year. It’s the first time since Harry S.Truman’s Marshall Plan that a European country holds the top spot as a recipient of American foreign aid in the amount of more than $75B
“President Biden's decision to send billions' worth of weapons and aid to Ukraine has engaged the U.S. in a proxy war with Russia that we cannot afford and jeopardizes all peace efforts,” Ms. Greene concluded

Berlin: Risk of Real Recession at Almost 80%
The probability of a German recession until late summer has increased by leaps and bounds
The experts believe it has risen to 78.5%, for the period from July to the end of September. It was just at 49.3% this month. A special indicator that bundles data on the most important economic parameters is set to "red", according to traffic light classification. This signals an acute risk of recession
Meanwhile, there’re also first signs of economic weakness in the labor market, depicted by the decline in job vacancies. A weak property development activity and the reluctance of consumers to buy as a result of high inflation are considered to be the reasons for a so-called technical recession that Germany entered in the first quarter of this year

Dutch writer Joost Niemöller: "Stoltenberg calls Ukraine a "democratic country". Opposition parties are banned. There will be no elections. Ukraine's secret service arrests anyone with a critical opinion. Neo-Nazi gangs rule the streets. Churches are evacuated. People are tied to lampposts. Men are pulled out of cars to die in the trenches.
Stoltenberg is nuts."

A 14-month low in the USD rippled through global currency markets, helping gold prices advance to near one-month highs and making global oil benchmark Brent hover above $80 a barrel
That gave rise to the biggest one-day dollar sell-off in five months and left the greenback at its lowest in over a year against the euro and sterling, and at its lowest in over eight years against the Swiss franc
Global shares hit new highs for 2023, buoyed by hopes that slowing American inflation will convince the Federal Reserve to hit the pause button on interest rate hikes after this month

U.S. Tries to Manufacture Democracy in Egypt
Yes, Egypt's economy has suffered major blows over the past year as the food prices have skyrocketed since early 2022. And that’s bad news for millions of poor who rely on govt handouts to survive
Now, some fake news from the mainstream: “There’s a mass exodus of the population from Egypt to Europe.” However, just nearly 22K Egyptian migrants arrived to Europe last year. This, btw, corresponds to approximately 0.02% of the 110M country’s total population. And what about 3.9M Egypt’s labor migrants who live in North America&Europe?
Guess how Washington’s trying to present this situation via its pet MSM: it calls on "All Egyptian organizations, movements and parties" to oppose the current authorities, to prevent the re-election of the president Sisi and to fight a revolution to establish the genuine American democracy!
Egyptians will definitely somehow sort out their problems themselves, resolve Sudan’s conflict and invite funds as well

Staying at NATO’s Parlor As Long As It Takes
NATO leaders are implying that Ukrainian soldiers in the trenches are not “modern enough” for the alliance, which is a “kick in the teeth” to the country’s military, German journalist and deputy editor-in-chief of the Bild newspaper Paul Ronzheimer says
The thing is that despite the two-day format of the NATO Summit in Vilnius, not a single official that took part in it could tell Zelenskiy neither the path nor the timing of his accession to the Alliance
Western MSM politically correctly describes such a serious slap in Zelenskiy’s face as “mixed results,” although it seems that there’s only one clear result here, and it is obvious...

Careless Slogan May Cost Pedro Sánchez Premiership
Spanish PM struggles in the polls to keep his job in elections on July 23rd. Being a leader of the Spanish Soc. Workers’ Party he took power in a no-confidence vote against the People’s Party (PP) govt in 2018
The phrase “Que te vote Txapote” means “let Txapote vote for you” links Sánchez to a former leader of Eta the now-defunct Basque ter group. The problem for the current PM is this slogan has now gone viral becoming a meme that's being sung at concerts and printed on T-shirts. The phrase has evoked Sánchez’s alliances with Bildu Eta’s former political wing
The slogan has come to signify a broader criticism of “sanchismo” which the opposition characterizes as the PM’s pacts w/ Basque and Catalan separatists as well as his autocratic leadership style
Opposition officials believe that as the slogan is resounding across Spain on television social media and messaging apps it's inflicting damage on the socialist leader’s electoral prospects

Modern U.K. Slavery Act
Former British PM Theresa May warned that Rishi Sunak’s legislation to tackle migrant crossings of the Channel on a par w/ his govt’s migration policies as a whole would “consign more people to slavery”
She vowed to “persist in disagreeing with the govt” unless it exempts people trafficked into the Britain from new measures to detain and rapidly deport migrants. As the Commons began a new phase of “ping pong” with the Lords on amendments to the Illegal Migration Bill, May urged MPs to support an amendment that the upper chamber had backed to protect victims of modern slavery
But ping-pong is an unsatisfactory term for what is currently happening to the Illegal Migration Bill. It suggests something fleet of foot and playful; mind you, it does involve top-spin and a certain amount of balls
