WEF launches digital currency project to ‘reward’ climate action

The coalition includes 30 different groups and institutions merged to investigate how to leverage Web3 tech like cryptocurrencies and blockchain to help the world become carbon neutral.

“An important and unique aspect of Web3 is that it uses technology to support and reward direct community engagement and action,” said WEF head of digital assets Brynly Llyr.

The coalition will examine how to add “carbon credits” to the blockchain. Partners include Accenture, the Crypto Council for Innovation, Rainforest Partnership, the Sustainable Bitcoin Standard, Zero Labs and others.

The WEF has been scrutinized for promoting the COVID-19 pandemic to achieve a “great reset” where global economies use private and public organizations to fight climate change.

During this year’s forum, WEF speaker and Norwegian Finance CEO Kjerstin Braathen said people should expect “pain” and “energy shortages” as the world pursues the WEF’s climate change agenda.

“We need to accept that there will be some pain in the process,” Braathen said.

“The pace that we need [to end climate change] will open up for missteps. It will open up for shortages of energy. It will create inflationary pressures, and maybe we need to start talking about that — that pain is actually worth it.”

“Because if we don’t, there’s no business case; there’s no economy; there’s no welfare. But so far, I think we have been a little bit careful actually talking about the pain in the short term that is likely to come from this very important change.”

Its move into the digital currency space is not the only concerning WEF move. Other questionable ideas by the WEF include a call to end private car ownership and suggesting that the sun be blotted to cool the planet.

“MIT scientists say ‘space bubbles’ could help reverse climate change by reflecting the Sun’s heat away from Earth,” a WEF video explains.

“Scientists say cutting out just 1.8% of the Sun’s rays would fully reverse global warming.”

WEF launches digital currency project to ‘reward’ climate action

The World Economic Forum (WEF) made a big move in the digital currency space this week with the launch of the Crypto Sustainability Coalition.

'We are done tolerating the … sexualization of our children': Armed protests arise outside 'all ages' drag bingo event hosted by Texas church

Over the weekend, a church in Texas became a lightning rod for protesters and counter-protesters alike when it invited members of "all ages" to a drag event to support so-called "trans and exploring" minors.

On Saturday evening, the First Christian Church of Katy, Texas, an affiliate of the Disciples of Christ denomination, held a bingo event featuring drag queens that was billed as fun for the whole family.

"We create a place for people to feel welcomed and understand that there will always be people who disagree with us," said Reverend Heather Tolleson, the pastor of the church.

The purpose of the bingo event — and the adults-only drag show later that night — was to raise funds for the church's "Transparent Closet," a resource where "trans and exploring teens, youth and young adults" can find cross-sex clothing, shoes, and accessories such as makeup.

The church itself claims to be "a place where all are welcome," and nearly all of the events and ministries listed on its website refer to LGBTQ issues in some way.

However, the all-ages drag event outraged many others in the community, including parents and members of other churches, who claim that drag queens and those who sponsor them have no business marketing such entertainment to children.

Rebecca Clark, a member of the Fort Bend-based County Citizens Defending Freedom, denounced the drag bingo event.

"We are done tolerating the exploitation and sexualization of our children in this country," Clark told the Epoch Times.

"Drag queens and children don’t mix,” added Sarah Feigleson of CCDF. “These events are happening in your back yard. Stand up and raise a respectful ruckus."

Along with CCDF, members of the Proud Boys protested the event, as did other churches. Several Catholics prayed the rosary.

d

On the other side of the street stood supporters of the family drag bingo day. Members of Antifa wore all black and obscured their faces. Others who were not associated with Antifa proudly showed their identities and their support for exposing kids to LGBTQ-themed entertainment.

"Drag in itself is just a costume," said one unnamed man wearing a face mask and holding a pride flag. "It's no different than someone dressed up like a superhero at a comic convention or someone who puts on a Halloween costume."

Both sides were heavily armed, and a steady police presence remained in the middle of the road to help keep the peace during drag bingo night. There were no reports of violence or arrests, and only church members were allowed to enter the property.

Though the event itself was controversial, there was yet another aspect of it that drew further ire from critics. The event was originally supposed to feature drag queen Tisha Flowers, aka Jaysen Kettl. Not only does Kettl now don a macabre persona when dressed as Flowers, but he also has a troubling past. Back in 2004, Kettl, then 17, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit capital murder after administrators at his school learned that he and at least one other student had plotted to commit a mass school shooting. Thankfully, the plot was foiled before anyone could carry it out.

However, once Kettl's criminal history was made known, the church quietly removed him from event promotions. It is unclear whether Kettl attended the event.

Despite the controversy, the event sold out and was deemed a success, Rev. Tolleson claimed.

Mom Sues, Alleging LAUSD Vaccinated Her Son in Exchange for Pizza Without Her Consent

The boy's mother claims the shot re-awakened her son’s childhood asthma and bleeding condition.

The mother of a 13-year-old LAUSD student says she’s now suing the district for vaccinating her student without her consent, claiming the school also bribed him with pizza.

"He said, 'yeah, they offered me pizza,'" Maribel Duarte said.

Duarte first spoke to NBCLA about her son Moises back in December 2021 in front of Barack Obama Global Prep Academy in South Los Angeles, where she says he told her he was given pizza in exchange for getting a COVID-19 vaccination shot, and told to forge his mother’s name on a consent form.

"If I already know all the problems he has, why am going to let him allow him to get that shot?" Duarte said.

Duarte claims the shot re-awakened her son’s childhood asthma and bleeding condition. While next to her lawyer Wednesday, Duarte said she’s now suing the LAUSD, saying that even though she got the vaccine, she didn’t want it for her son.

"This is not a conspiracy theory. This is not an anti-vax case. This is about parental rights about having the ability to protect your children," attorney Nicole Pearson said.

US Embassy and Consulates in Russia Warns Americans to Leave Russia Immediately

From the US Embassy in Russia:

Event: On September 21, the Russian government began a mobilization of its citizens to the armed forces in support of its invasion of Ukraine. Russia may refuse to acknowledge dual nationals’ U.S. citizenship, deny their access to U.S. consular assistance, prevent their departure from Russia, and conscript dual nationals for military service.

Commercial flight options are extremely limited at present and are often unavailable on short notice. Overland routes by car and bus are still open. If you wish to depart Russia, you should make independent arrangements as soon as possible. The U.S. Embassy has severe limitations on its ability to assist U.S. citizens, and conditions, including transportation options, may suddenly become even more limited.

U.S. citizens should not travel to Russia and those residing or travelling in Russia should depart Russia immediately while limited commercial travel options remain. The Department of State provides information on commercial travel on the Information for U.S. Citizens in Russia – Travel Options Out of Russia page on travel.state.gov. This site also provides information on requirements for entering neighboring countries, procedures for travel on expired U.S. passports in some circumstances, and visa requirements for families with American and Russian citizen family members.

We remind U.S. citizens that the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are not guaranteed in Russia.

Russian diplomat warns Biden over pipeline incidents

"US President Joe Biden must answer the question of whether the United States carried out its threat on September 25 and 26 when an emergency was reported at three lines of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2," Maria Zakharova emphasized

US President Joe Biden should issue a reply as to whether the United States had carried out its threat over the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

"US President Joe Biden must answer the question of whether the United States carried out its threat on September 25 and 26 when an emergency was reported at three lines of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, which has been preliminarily recognized as ruptures, whereas he suggested those were blown up," the Russian diplomat said on her Telegram channel. On it, she posted a video in which the US leader delivers the speech in question.

"His statement of intent was backed up with a promise. One must be responsible for one’s words. Failure to understand what one says does not absolve anyone of responsibility. Europe must know the truth!" Zakharova emphasized.

On Tuesday, Nord Stream AG reported about "unprecedented damage" on Monday that affected three lines of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines registered within several hours. The first was identified along Nord Stream 2 near the Danish island of Bornholm, and two leaks were discovered afterwards. Denmark’s Energy Agency said a large amount of natural gas had streamed out. Aircraft and vessels were advised to stay at least five miles away from the site of the incident.

Later, Swedish seismologists said two explosions had been recorded along the routes of both pipelines on Monday. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen slammed the incidents as sabotage and warned that "any deliberate disruption is unacceptable [and] will lead to the strongest possible response."

Senior Israeli officials kick off meetings to expand US-Israel tech collaboration

Team headed by national security adviser, innovation minister in Washington to turn Jerusalem Declaration vision into concrete roadmap

Ahead of meetings with US officials in Washington, Science and Innovation Minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen and National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata said on Wednesday that they are initiating a process that will transform strategic technological cooperation between the countries, an area that has lagged behind Israel’s high-tech partnership with the European Union.

“The goal is to take full advantage of Israeli entrepreneurship and innovation in fields that are at the front of global challenges, together with our US counterparts and American industry,” said Hulata, speaking by phone with Israeli journalists.

They are accompanied on the trip by dozens of officials from government agencies, including the ministries of agriculture, energy, health, innovation, environmental protection, and defense. Israel’s Ambassador to Washington Michael Herzog is also participating.

Hulata and Farkash-Hacohen were slated to meet Wednesday with US Health and Human Services Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm and Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk, as well as officials from relevant US departments, including the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy.

The meetings are the first major step in the initiative announced in the Jerusalem Declaration that US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Yair Lapid signed during Biden’s visit to Israel in July.

One of the stated goals of the document was to “form a US-Israel technological partnership in critical and emerging technologies, as well as in areas of global concern: pandemic preparedness, climate change, artificial intelligence and trusted technology.”

CDC says physicians observing increase in 'severe respiratory illness' among children

Emergency visits up relative to earlier years, agency says.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention this week said that physicians were observing sharp increases in serious respiratory illnesses among children, with emergency room visits among that demographic reportedly up relative to earlier years.

The CDC said in a news release on Tuesday that the summer of 2022 saw "increased emergency department visits by children and adolescents with acute respiratory illness and asthma/reactive airway disease."

The agency said enterovirus D68 was to blame for the increase in respiratory issues. EV-D68 was once rare but infections have been increasing in frequency in recent years.

The CDC said it was also observing an increase in acute flaccid myelitis, which it elsewhere characterizes as "an uncommon but serious neurologic condition" that "affects the nervous system, specifically the area of the spinal cord called gray matter, which causes the muscles and reflexes in the body to become weak."

"Health care facilities should be prepared for possible increases in pediatric health care use associated with severe EV-D68–associated respiratory illness," the agency urged, adding that "ast increases in EV-D68 circulation were also associated with increased reports of AFM."

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt has modernized fighting antisemitism

No. 29 on The Jerusalem Post's Top 50 Most Influential Jews of 2022: Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO and national director Jonathan Greenblatt.

It’s rare to find American Jewish professionals who are also social media influencers or have name recognition outside the Jewish organizational world. Jonathan Greenblatt, national director and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), is one of those exceptions.

This 51-year-old executive has close to 350,000 followers on Twitter and is interviewed by the national and international media on a weekly basis.

He’s considered to be one of the younger and most powerful Jewish executives in the US and beyond. Greenblatt is also a rare example of a Jewish organizational leader who has both business and government backgrounds. In many ways, this Jewish professional is running an old legacy communal organization like a start-up, and that’s what distinguishes him from other heads of organizations.

He co-established Ethos Water, a premium water bottle company, which donated a percentage of its profits to assist developing countries, and was acquired by Starbucks. He later became a vice president at Starbucks. He was involved in businesses with a social aspect and was appointed as special assistant to president Barack Obama and director of the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation in Domestic Policy Council.

Greenblatt had big shoes to fill. His predecessor at ADL was Abe Foxman, one of America’s most popular Jewish leaders.

Corruption allegations engulfing Indonesian provincial governor Lukas Enembe spread to Perth casino

Indonesia has for weeks been transfixed by a corruption scandal involving a provincial governor, accused of spending tens of millions of dollars in foreign casinos despite an official salary of less than AUD$1,000 a month.

Key points:

Major transactions at Perth's Crown casino are being examined

Suspicious bank deposits in Perth and Melbourne are also being analysed

Lukas Enembe's lawyers dismiss the allegations as a political witch-hunt

Now the scandal has spread to Australia, where Indonesian investigators confirmed they were examining transactions at the Crown Casino in Perth, and suspicious bank deposits in Perth and Melbourne.

The accusations are among a series of explosive allegations against Lukas Enembe, who has been the governor of Indonesia's Papua province since 2013.

Lawyers for Mr Enembe have dismissed all allegations against him.

They denied Governor Enembe had pocketed public money, and said the allegations were politically motivated.

Enembe, 55, is suspected of misappropriating at least 560 billion rupiah (AUD$56 million) since 2017, and spending much of it in casinos in at least two countries, including Singapore and Australia.

But authorities have told the ABC the total amount under investigation was in the "trillions of rupiah," or hundreds of millions of dollars.

Anti-corruption authorities in Jakarta are investigating where the money came from, and whether Governor Enembe has siphoned the money from a 'special autonomy fund' allocated each year by the Indonesian government for development projects and operational funding in Papua.

Millions allegedly spent at Perth casino under investigation

Indonesia's Centre for Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis (PPATK) last week revealed it was investigating several suspicious money trails over the past five years, involving Lukas Enembe's own personal bank accounts, or accounts he allegedly controls.

Authorities have confirmed to the ABC that they were investigating the source of money Lukas Enembe allegedly spent at the Perth Casino, amounting to about $500,000 a year since 2017. They claim the money was deposited in cash into bank accounts in Perth and Melbourne.

One source told the ABC that Mr Enembe was suspected of spending the funds on more than just betting in casinos.

"Not all the money he spent for the gambling, it includes assets," the ABC was told.

Indonesia's Anti-Corruption Commission (the KPK) is investigating all of Lukas Enembe's financial assets in Australia. It is not clear whether he has property in Australia under his name.

8th EU Sanctions, Oil Price Cap Will "Make Kremlin Pay" For 'Sham' Referendums: Von Der Leyen

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday touted that newly prepared EU sanctions will "make the Kremlin pay" for conducting its "sham" referendums in occupied Ukraine. Russian media the evening prior declared a sweep in favor of four regions joining the Russian Federation - including Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. President Putin is expected to announce their integration into Russia in a Friday speech.

"We do not accept the sham referenda and any kind of annexation in Ukraine, and we are determined to make the Kremlin pay for this further escalation," von der Leyen told a scheduled press briefing in Brussels.

She announced a proposed eighth round of sanctions in a package that includes an expanded ban on Russian products and key technology, particularly out of Russia's aviation, electronics, and chemical products sectors. The new package when implemented is "expected to deprive Moscow of an additional 7 billion euros ($6.7 billion) in revenues," according to the EC chief's announcement.

The new package also includes a range of targeted sanctions on Russian ministry and military officials, including officials responsible for organizing the Ukraine referendums. Additionally, EU nationals will be barred from having high-paying roles in Russian state-owned companies.

Perhaps more important, and controversial given the fresh sanctions would need unanimous approval by the EU’s 27 member states before implementation, is the oil price cap. Currently, partial prohibitions targeting Russian crude will kick in on December 5th. Though it doesn't extend directly to shipping, a June sanctions package saw EU countries agree to block European companies from providing insurance and financial services for Russia's seaborne oil.

In the Wednesday announcement, von der Leyen previewed, "We are laying the legal basis for this oil price cap." This as Bloomberg is confirming this would include "a price cap for Russian oil sold to third countries." But therein lies the biggest hurdle towards its passage as member states like Hungary have long warned that dramatic changes in its predictable energy supply levels received from Gazprom would put Hungary's entire economy at risk.

As Bloomberg observed last week, when the price cap plan again came into central focus amid Putin's 'partial mobilization' and escalation in Ukraine: "Representatives of national governments in Brussels will aim to reach a preliminary deal on the price cap ahead of an informal gathering of EU leaders in Prague on Oct. 6, the people said. But one of the biggest question marks will be Hungary, which has often played the spoiler when unanimous decisions are needed in the EU."

In response to the European Commission's eighth sanctions package rollout announcement, the Biden administration says it is prepared once again to partner in imposing "severe economic costs on Russia over its sham referendums," according to the words of the Head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination Jim O'Brien.

Oil Rigs In Norway's North Sea Buzzed By Mysterious Drones

Update (1445ET):

Norway has displaced Russia as Europe's top natural gas supplier as energy supply chains are rejiggered. According to Daily Mail, being the biggest supplier to the energy-stricken continent comes with risks, as the Scandinavian country's oil and gas rigs in the North Sea have been buzzed by mysterious drones.

The country's Petroleum Safety Authority warned these mysterious drones could unleash "deliberate attacks" on critical energy infrastructure and or even smash into a helicopter on an offshore oil rig to wreak havoc.

Energy minister Terje Aasland explained the government is "increasing security at infrastructure sites, land terminals and platforms on the Norwegian continental shelf."

Drones have buzzed at least six of Norwegian energy giant Equinor's offshore platforms, coming within the security perimeter of 500 meters. One drone flew within 50 meters of the Heidrun platform in the Norwegian Sea. The company notified authorities of drone sightings.

"The Scandinavian country has a vast network of pipelines linking it to the continent, which experts have said are at risk of sabotage," Daily Mail said.

This report comes as US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm alerted EU countries to increase security around energy assets, including LNG carriers en route to Europe.

Virgin Atlantic Just Teamed Up With LGBTQ+ Celebs To Become The World’s ‘Most Inclusive Airline,’ New Policy Encourages MALE PILOTS TO WEAR SKIRTS, Everyone Gets A Pronoun Badge And More..

Virgin Atlantic modified its gendered clothing requirement uniform policy on Wednesday to permit male staff to wear skirts as its launches a new campaign become the world’s “most inclusive airline.”

Pronoun badges will also be offered to the plane crew in customers in addition to allowing staff “wear uniforms that express their true identity.”

Virgin Atlantic staffers are now given “gender-inclusive” uniform options. The “red option” was previously required uniform for female flight attendants and the “burgundy” option was previously worn by male flight attendants. Now, either option is available for either sex, allowing men to wear skirts and women to wear trousers. Additional options are now available for “non-binary” members of the crew.

Customers are now permitted to select new “gender-neutral” pronouns including “Mx,” “U” or “X” markers when booking their flights.

Visage, who describes herself as the mother of a “trans non-binary child” championed the new policy.

‘As the mother of a non-binary child, and as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, these efforts by Virgin Atlantic to further inclusivity for its people are extremely important and personal to me,” She said. “People feel empowered when they are wearing what best represents them, and this gender identity policy allows people to embrace who they are and bring their full selves to work.”
