Shocking ONS Report: COVID Vaccinated 18-39 Age Group at 91% Higher Death Risk than Unvaccinated Peers in UK

The Office for National Statistics is the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics and the recognised national statistical institute of the UK. It is responsible for collecting and publishing statistics related to the economy, population and society at national, regional and local levels.

Its dataset on deaths in England by vaccination status between January 2021 and January 2022 can be found here. It contains a large amount of data on age-standardised mortality rates for deaths by vaccination status between 1 January 2021 and 31 January 2022.

Table 2 of the dataset contains data on the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status by age group for all deaths in England. The following table shows an example of how the numbers are presented in the dataset –

What immediately catches the eye when looking at this data is the mortality rate per 100,00 person-years among 18-39-year-olds in the month of January 2021. The figures show the death rate among the unvaccinated in this month was 67.7 deaths per 100,000 person-years. Whilst the death rate among the partly vaccinated (at least 21 days ago) was 119.9 deaths per 100,000 years.

This shows that vaccinated 18-39-year-olds were more likely to die in January 2021, suggesting the Covid-19 injections increased the risk of death or played a part in causing death. So we dug further and extracted all the figures on 18-39-year-olds for each month between January 2021 and January 2022, and this is what we found –

Indian District Rolls Out Live Facial Recognition to Fight Crime Wave

A district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is rolling out a crime-fighting search engine powered by live facial recognition called the Geospatial Data Intelligence Platform (GDIP).

The police in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, which is part of the Delhi National Capital Region, are hoping that the new technology will help stem the city’s crime wave: kidnapping has gone up by more than 70 percent in the last two years, according to police data.

The Geospatial Data Intelligence Platform (GDIP) integrates crime and policing data from different agencies, allowing investigators to access records and map crime hotspots, police commissioner Laxmi Singh told The Hindustan Times. The implementation will commence next week and will be followed by the incorporation of a facial recognition system. The system will search in real-time for matches to a database with an estimated 25,000 mugshots and photographs of convicted and under-trial prisoners.

“We are planning to integrate this data with the GDIP,” says Singh. “Next, we will link the 4,000 CCTV cameras under the Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS) with the GDIP. This will help the police catch a criminal or a repeat offender whenever and wherever he or she is spotted in public.”

Warnings over Indian police use of AI

The Geospatial Data Intelligence Platform (GDIP) is the latest project in India that applies AI to crime-busting, including facial recognition. In 2020, the country passed a controversial bill granting police officers the power to collect biometric information of convicts and criminal suspects and authorized a rollout of automated biometric facial recognition in police investigations. But integrating AI applications in policing, particularly non-investigatory facial recognition, has not been without criticism.

Shruti Mantri, associate director at the Institute of Data Sciences of Hyderabad’s Indian School of Business, welcomed the integration of AI in combating crime but also warned that law enforcement agencies should minimize the harms of the technology.

“As the capabilities of artificial intelligence continue to grow, without a certain level of trust and acceptance, police services cannot utilize AI to its full potential in policing,” Matri writes in an opinion piece for Forbes India published on Monday.

AI models learn from vast amounts of data that can take on certain human values and could result in biases and subjectivity. As AI systems rely more on machine learning and deep learning models, potentially becoming more autonomous, its use also raises the question of accountability for incorrect outcomes that could affect people’s lives, says Matri:

Whether it is used for IOT devices such as sensors, CCTVs, and so on for digital contact tracing, it is essential to be sensitive to how people feel about data collection and data use.

RIGGED: Brazil’s CBDC pilot program allows government to freeze funds, adjust balances at will

It has come to our attention that the new Brazilian Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) system contains hidden backdoor features allowing the Brazilian government to freeze people's funds and adjust their balances at will.

A blockchain developer by the name of Pedro Magalhaes, founder of the Web3 consulting firm Iora Labs, reverse-engineered the code behind Brazil's CBDC program, which led him to this shocking discovery.

Magalhaes was able to access the Application Programming Interface via the monetary authority on its Github account. And thus far, the Brazilian government has failed to offer any kind of explanation or response about the discovery.

"They tend to keep things closed off and usually don't communicate with non-bankers," Magalhaes told Decrypt, clarifying that he has had a few general discussions about CBDC implementation on the Github platform.

"Honestly, they don't even need to care about public opinion."

What Magalhaes means by this, of course, is that the Brazilian government answers to nobody in a digital finance paradigm like the CBDC. It can do whatever it wants, in essence, and the Brazilian people cannot say or do anything to stop it, otherwise their accounts could get shut off and their money deleted.

(Related: Australia recently launched its own CBDC pilot program, complete with carbon credit trading.)

Brazilian media reporter confirms Brazilian government controls people's individual CBDC accounts

A Brazilian crypto news reporter by the name of Vini Barbosa, who writes for Portal Do Bitcoin, confirmed that Magalhaes' findings are, indeed, correct, which is ominous for the future of CBDC implementation everywhere.

"The ability to 'freeze or arrest amounts' held in [this system] is protected by current legislation in Brazil, according to the Central Bank," Barbosa tweeted about the matter.

The first public notice about all this was shared via Magalhaes' LinkedIn account with the disclaimer that it was simply for "educational purposes." At first, it was believed that the backdoor functions only applied to DeFi or CeFi "where it may be necessary to freeze the balances to complete a smart contract operation," but we have since learned that Brazil's central bank can perform these backdoor tasks any time it wishes, for no reason at all.

Because of Brazil's torrid financial history, the Brazilian people are scared about the discovery. After all, back in the 1990s, the country's then-president froze finances for the entire country's population for 18 straight months.

The only way the Brazilian people can even attempt to fight back against this latest affront to their finances is to protest it on social media, according to Magalhaes.

"They will try hard to adopt it, and they have the power to do it," the expert in Ethereum's Solidity programming language said.

"As a blockchain developer, the only thing I've been asking for is: please, provide public smart contracts and let Brazilians know what the Central Bank is doing."

On Twitter, someone responded to Barbosa's confirmation of Magalhaes' findings by speculating as to how long it will be before the backdoor scheme is used by the government to punish citizens for committing acts of "hate speech" or other "hate crimes."

"These are scary times," this person wrote.

Barbosa responded to this concern by stating that he, too, fears such an outcome, which is why he is "glad that we already have functional alternatives to money that can be used globally," referring to other independent cryptocurrencies.

"I foresee in the next agenda they will introduce law forcing its citizens to use CBDC and remove cash," wrote another about what he sees as the next phase in this war on cash by the private central bankers.

Lloyds Banking Group and Santander see huge profit boosts thanks to interest rate hikes

Lloyds Banking Group profit missed forecasts but grew 23% to £3.9bn

The banking giant saw its net interest income rise by 14% to £7bn in first half

Santander UK's pre-tax profit jumped 18% to £1.2bn

Higher interest rates helped Lloyds Banking Group boost its first-half profit by 23 per cent to £3.9billion.

However, the profit for the period was below analyst forecasts of around the £4billion mark after the bank suffered higher operating costs and impairment charges.

Lloyds' underlying net interest income - the difference between what it pays savers and charges borrowers - jumped 14 per cent to £7billion during the period, but customer deposits of £469.8billion were £5.5billion lower.

Banks and building societies have come under mounting pressure to pass more of the benefits of rate rises to savers facing a cost of living squeeze.

US stresses it will not cut aid to Israel due to judicial overhaul

State Department reiterates Biden administration’s commitment to Israeli security despite tensions with Netanyahu government, White House won’t confirm Biden trusts Netanyahu

The US State Department on Tuesday stressed that the Biden administration will not cut aid to Israel in response to the Netanyahu coalition passing the first piece of its divisive judicial overhaul package into law.

The Biden administration has opposed the Israeli government’s push to diminish the judiciary, stoking tensions between Washington and Jerusalem.

“There is not going to be any cut or stoppage of military aid, and that is because our commitment to Israel and our commitment to Israel’s security is ironclad. Our decades-long partnership with Israel is ironclad,” said US State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel.

Hebrew media played up the comments, but the prospect of the US conditioning aid to Israel was never on the table to begin with. US President Joe Biden campaigned on the notion that he would not consider such a step. US officials have repeatedly reiterated this stance since Israel’s elections in November.

Patel added that the refusal to cut US aid to Israel did not take away from the administration’s opposition to the overhaul bill passed on Monday, as it did not have the broad support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly assured the US he would secure for fundamental changes to Israel’s governing system.

=Jewish billionaire Joe Lewis pleads not guilty to US insider trading charges

Two of Lewis' pilots, Patrick O'Connor and Bryan Waugh, were also charged with insider trading securities fraud. They reaped millions of dollars in illegal profit from Lewis' tips, prosecutors said.

Jewish billionaire Joe Lewis pleaded not guilty to US insider trading charges at a hearing on Wednesday.

Lewis entered his plea before US Magistrate Judge Valerie Figueredo in Manhattan federal court.

Federal prosecutors accused Lewis, whose family trust controls a majority of the Tottenham Hotspur soccer team, with orchestrating a "brazen" insider trading scheme by passing tips about companies in which he invested to friends, personal assistants, private pilots and romantic partners.

Two of Lewis' pilots, Patrick O'Connor and Bryan Waugh, were also charged with insider trading securities fraud. They reaped millions of dollars in illegal profit from Lewis' tips, prosecutors said.

Lewis' lawyer David Zornow said prosecutors "made an egregious error" in charging Lewis, 86, and said his client had come to the United States voluntarily to defend himself against the charges.

Lawyers for O'Connor and Waugh did not immediately respond to requests for comment. They have both also been arrested, according to prosecutors.

Alleged insider trading actions by Joe Lewis

Prosecutors said that in 2019 Lewis lent each pilot $500,000 and encouraged them to buy stock in oncology company Mirati Therapeutics before it released favorable clinical results. O'Connor texted a friend that he thought "the Boss has inside info," according to the indictment.

After Mirati announced the positive results, its share price increased 16.7% in one day, and both pilots repaid Lewis for his loans.

Separately on Wednesday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil insider trading case against Lewis O'Connor, Waugh and Lewis' then-girlfriend Carolyn Carter.

A lawyer for Carter, who is not facing criminal charges, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Uber Russia-hawk Victoria Nuland rises to acting deputy secretary of state

In a little-remarked move, the Biden administration announced Monday that Victoria Nuland will take over as the acting second-in-command at the State Department. She replaces Wendy Sherman, who plans to retire at the end of this week.

Nuland’s appointment will be a boon for Russia hawks who want to turn up the heat on the Kremlin. But, for those who favor a negotiated end to the conflict in Ukraine, a promotion for the notoriously “undiplomatic diplomat” will be a bitter pill.

A few quick reminders are in order. When Nuland was serving in the Obama administration, she had a now-infamous leaked call with the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. As the Maidan Uprising roiled the country, the pair of American diplomats discussed conversations with opposition leaders, and Nuland expressed support for putting Arseniy Yatseniuk into power. (Yatseniuk would become prime minister later that month, after Russia-friendly former President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country.) At one memorable point in the call, Nuland said “Fu–k the EU” in response to Europe’s softer stance on the protests.

The controversy surrounding the call — and larger implications of U.S. involvement in the ouster of Yanukovych — kicked up tensions with Russia and contributed to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to seize Crimea and support an insurgency in eastern Ukraine. Her handing out food to demonstrators on the ground in Kyiv probably didn’t help either. Nuland, along with State Department sanctions czar Daniel Fried, then led the effort to punish Putin through sanctions. Another official at State reportedly asked Fried if “the Russians realize that the two hardest-line people in the entire U.S. government are now in a position to go after them?”
