Banking Industry Backed Democrats Push to Ban DeFi Threatens CLARITY Act

 

In a pivotal moment in U.S. cryptocurrency regulation, bipartisan efforts to pass the CLARITY Act, a comprehensive market-structure bill—aimed at clarifying oversight between the SEC (for securities-like tokens) and CFTC (for commodities like Bitcoin)—are grinding to a halt over Democrats’ proposed restrictions on decentralized finance (DeFi).

 

The CLARITY Act, which Republicans hoped to advance before the end of 2025, seeks to provide legal clarity for digital assets, building on earlier progress like the GERNIUS Act, a stablecoin bill passed earlier this year. However, a leaked Democratic counter-proposal on DeFi has ignited fierce backlash, with critics labeling it a de facto ban on core crypto innovations.

 

The Core Dispute: DeFi Proposal Under Fire.

At the heart of the fight is a Democratic document circulated on Thursday October 9, 2025, which would allow the Treasury Department to maintain a “restricted list” of DeFi protocols deemed high-risk. This could impose Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements on non-custodial wallets and app frontends, effectively treating them as regulated financial entities under joint SEC-CFTC oversight. Republicans, led by Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.), view this as overreach that ignores DeFi’s decentralized ethos and could drive innovation overseas.

 

Republican Critique: Senate Banking GOP Staff Director Catherine Fuchs halted further talks via email, stating negotiations would pause “until we have an agreed upon date for markup.” A spokesperson for Scott, Jeff Naft, dismissed the proposal as “not a legislative offer,” noting it “was not written in legislative text, included multiple incoherent policy ideas, and was not a good-faith effort.” Republicans had shared drafts since June 27 and pushed back a planned September markup to September 30 for bipartisanship, but Democrats have resisted committing to a vote date.

Democratic Defense: Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a key negotiator in a group of 12 crypto-friendly Democrats, pushed back through spokesperson Jacques Petit: “Democrats have shown up ready to work but our Republican counterparts are crashing out. They asked for paper and substance, and we delivered.” Petit called demands for a markup date premature—”like setting a wedding date before the first date”—and accused Republicans of leaking the proposal to manufacture outrage. Broader Democratic concerns, voiced by Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), center on crypto’s risks to financial stability and national security.

The Elizabeth Warren Problem

Owned and operated by the banking cartels, Senator Elizabeth Warren has long been a crypto critic. Warren’s position has constantly called for killing crypto innovation and financial freedom for individuals using “fraud, instability and risks” as a cover narrative to preserve her constituency – the banking monopoly she viciously protects.

 

Warren pledged to build an “anti-crypto army” to enforce compliance, reinforcing her overarching framework which emphasizes that crypto must not erode existing securities laws or create “back doors” for instability.

 

Her rhetoric threatened the GENIUS Act and influenced highly misguided negotiations undertaken by her Democratic colleagues who have a single digit crypto IQ.

Migrants Taking £10 Billion Per Year in Direct Welfare Benefits in Britain: Report

 

The British taxpayer is funding over £10 billion in direct welfare subsidies to migrants, who now account for one in six pounds sterling spent on universal credit, a report has found.

 

According to internal government data seen by London’s Daily Telegraph, £10.1 billion of the annual £61.2 billion spent on the universal credit scheme for those out of work, on low incomes, or those struggling with living costs was paid to foreigners living in Britain last year.

 

The figures, released under Freedom of Information Act requests, mean that one sixth of all direct welfare spending was given to foreigners or 16.5 per cent of the Universal Credit budget.

 

According to the broadsheet, this represented a significant increase over previous years, with £6.3 billion being spent on foreigners in 2022 and £7.9 billion in 2023.

 

The actual cost of the mass migration agenda is not even fully demonstrated by the figures; however, given that the data set does not include migrants who have been awarded citizenship, or indeed second-generation migrants.

 

The Universal Credit scheme also represents only one avenue through which foreigners can benefit from state subsidies, with the money spent on education and healthcare for migrants being counted separately.

Cough Syrups Linked To Child Deaths Not Shipped To U.S., FDA Makes Clear

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed on Friday that toxic cough syrups linked to children’s deaths in India had not been shipped to the United States.

 

The World Health Organization has said India has a “regulatory gap” in screening locally sold syrup medicines.

 

The U.S. FDA said it was aware of news reports of devastating, ongoing diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol contamination in children’s cough and cold medicine in India.

 

Indian authorities advised the public to avoid two more brands of cough syrup on Wednesday following the deaths of 17 children under age five, linked to a toxic ingredient.

 

The children died in India over the past month after consuming cough medicine containing toxic diethylene glycol in quantities nearly 500 times the permissible limit, officials said. The deaths were all linked to the Coldrif medicine brand, which was banned after a test confirmed the presence of the chemical on October 2.

 

India’s health authority, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization, informed the U.S. regulator that these products were not exported from India to any other country, the FDA said.

 

The FDA also said it remains vigilant to prevent contaminated drugs from entering the U.S. and asked manufacturers to ensure that drugs marketed in the U.S. are safe and of the highest quality.

At Least 60 Killed After Paramilitary Group Strikes Sudanese Shelter

 

Drone and artillery strikes by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on a shelter in the Sudanese city of Al Fashir killed at least 60 people on Friday night and Saturday morning, according to local activists.

 

Al-Fashir is under siege by the RSF as it struggles to wrest control of the army’s last stronghold in the Darfur region.

 

The siege has spread hunger and disease in the city and relentless drone and artillery strikes have hit displacement shelters, mosques, and hospitals and clinics.

 

“Bodies remain under the rubble, and others were burned alive inside the shelter caravans, children, women, and elderly killed in cold blood, the al-Fashir Resistance Committees said in a statement earlier on Saturday. It said in a later statement that the shelter had been hit twice by drones and eight times by artillery shells.

 

The resistance committee said hundreds of civilians have been killed by the attacks, and residents who spoke to Reuters said they had dug bunkers into their homes and neighborhoods for protection.

 

The activist group said the city is losing 30 people on average daily to violence, hunger, and disease.

NIAID Director Holds Patent for Bird Flu Pandemic Vaccine—as His Agency Creates Frankenstein Bird Flu Viruses in the Lab

 

Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger is creating the pandemic pathogen problem and the royalty-collecting vaccine solution at the same time—raising lab leak, national security, and conflict of interest concerns.

 

The U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is funding the laboratory creation of deadly, genetically engineered bird-flu viruses—even as its director, Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger, is named as an inventor on a U.S. government patent for a vaccine platform designed to counter those very pathogens.

 

In other words, the same federal agency making new bird-flu viruses is led by the man who helped invent—and could profit from—the vaccine meant to fight them.

 

Mainstream reports and federal documents confirm that Dr. Taubenberger could receive royalty payments if the vaccine platform proves successful.

 

Federal rules allow government inventors like Taubenberger to personally earn up to $150,000 a year in royalties from their patents.

 

This overlap between virus creation and vaccine ownership raises profound questions about conflicts of interest within America’s pandemic-preparedness system.

 

The same official overseeing the creation of potentially pandemic-causing bird-flu viruses also stands to earn personal income from the patented vaccine technology designed to combat them—a built-in conflict of interest at the very heart of U.S. pandemic research.

 

How secure is a nation whose top infectious-disease officials are simultaneously funding the creation of potential pandemic pathogens and positioned to profit from the vaccines meant to stop them?

New Report Pushes Back on Claims That Covid “Vaccines” Saved Millions of Lives

 

A new preprint by Denis Rancourt and Joseph Hickey argues that widely cited claims about COVID-19 vaccines saving millions of lives in the U.S. rely on flawed and unverifiable modeling assumptions.

The paper targets studies like Meagan Fitzpatrick’s, which used counterfactual scenarios and speculative efficacy rates to estimate deaths averted—methods the authors call unreliable and nontransparent.

Rancourt and Hickey warn that such models, if taken at face value, could mislead public health policy and give a false sense of vaccine impact.

The authors argue that excess mortality data do not reflect the sharp declines in deaths suggested by models following vaccine rollouts, implying that claims of lives saved may be overstated.

Rancourt criticizes the peer review system and alleges that some researchers serve pharmaceutical interests by promoting “garbage science” through biased models.

 

A controversial new preprint from Canadian researchers is challenging widely held assertions that COVID?19 vaccination campaigns in the U.S. saved millions of lives. Issued this week via Correlation, a Canadian nonprofit research organization, the paper by Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., and Joseph Hickey, Ph.D., argues that much of the vaccine benefit narrative rests on modeling studies plagued by “fantastic and unverifiable” assumptions.

 

In their critique, Rancourt and Hickey point to the 2022 modeling work of Meagan Fitzpatrick, which has been repeatedly cited by figures like Peter Hotez in media appearances and congressional testimony. That study claimed that U.S. COVID?19 vaccines prevented 3.2 million deaths—an estimate that has become a frequently quoted talking point in vaccine policy debates. The new paper charges that Fitzpatrick’s modeling employed counterfactual theoretical calculations grounded in speculative estimates of infection fatality rates and vaccine efficacy—inputs the authors say are nontransparent, inflated or otherwise unjustified.

UK gov. ministers set to launch antisemitism crackdown

 

In the wake of the Manchester antisemitic attack, new measures are being put in place in the academic and medical fields

 

UK government ministers are set to launch a mass crackdown on antisemitism in the country, targeting education and health care in particular, with details of some of the measures emerging over the weekend.

 

The measures come in the wake of the terror attack outside a synagogue on Yom Kippur in Manchester, during which two Jews were killed.

 

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told the BBC and Sky News on Saturday that she is introducing measures to tackle antisemitism at universities, including writing to vice-chancellors asking them to take steps to protect Jewish students from harassment and intimidation.

 

"On campus, Jewish students don't feel safe," she told the BBC. "And often, parents worry about sending their children to university. We cannot accept that. There can be no place for it."

 

"There can be no place for harassment and intimidation," she added.

 

Phillipson also announced that the Union of Jewish Students will deliver 600 training sessions on combating antisemitism to university staff. She told Sky News that attendance at the sessions is encouraged, particularly for those working in campus security and student welfare. The sessions will commence this month.

As the universities’ regulator said on Friday, the Office for Students has powers to fine universities – and ultimately could cut off public funding – if they fail to uphold their responsibilities to protect Jewish students.

 

In an op-ed in the Express, Philipson also announced that the Office for Students has powers to fine universities – and ultimately could cut off public funding – if they fail to uphold their responsibilities to protect Jewish students.

 

"The past two years have seen an appalling rise in antisemitism, not least in our universities, where the number of incidents grew by 413% in the year following the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7," she continued, adding that such Jew-hatred must be "rooted out."

Jared Kushner Praises Israelis For Not 'Replicating the Barbarism of the Enemy' in War On Gaza

 

Trump envoy Jared Kushner on Saturday in Tel Aviv praised Israelis for not "replicating the barbarism of the enemy" in their war on Gaza.

 

After describing how he "cried" all night after October 7th, Kushner told a crowd, "I couldn't be more proud to see the way that the State of Israel and its people have carried themselves through this traumatic, unthinkable, horrific experience."

 

"Instead of replicating the barbarism of the enemy, you chose to be exceptional. You chose to stand for the values that you stand for," Kushner said.

 

"I couldn't be prouder to be a friend of Israel, somebody who supports Israel, and somebody who fights very strongly to see Israel survive, succeed, and to achieve its fullest potential," he added.

 

As the whole world just witnessed, Israel chose to be exceptionally barbaric in their genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.

Israeli Soldiers Torched Food, Homes, and a Critical Sewage Treatment Plant in the Wake of Ceasefire Announcement

 

In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s announcement on Thursday that both Hamas and Israel had signed off on an agreement to stop the fighting, the Israeli military launched an arson spree, setting fire to civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of an essential sanitation plant in Gaza City.

 

The destruction of Palestinian structures following the departure of soldiers who had used them as temporary bases has been a hallmark of Israel’s approach to Gaza for two years. In July, Israeli reporter Yuval Abraham collected testimonies from soldiers describing a myriad of arson methods. “Every Arab house we entered had olive oil […] We poured the oil on the sofas, on anything flammable in the apartment, and then we ignited [it] or threw in a smoke grenade. This was a common practice,” one of them described.

 

The agreement came after months of a concerted effort to render Gaza uninhabitable by destroying residences and civilian infrastructure, culminating in the ground invasion of Gaza City and the leveling of several high rises in Gaza City. In September, Israeli government minister Gila Gamliel told Channel 7 News, “We have already completely annihilated 75% of the entire [Gaza] Strip. There remains 25%, which, as you know, it too…we are now taking over [the city of] Gaza—there will be nothing left there that would really [have] the potential to be habitable.”

 

The scope of the arson perpetrated in Gaza City on the night of October 9th and early morning of October 10—Thursday night into Friday, just after the ceasefire was agreed to but before Israel’s cabinet approved it—was broader than at any other time Drop Site has tracked during the assault on the strip. Its perpetrators were not confined to a single unit, nor was the burning confined to a specific neighborhood. Drop Site News identified members of the Israeli army originating from several different brigades, including the Golani, Givati, Nahal Brigades, and the newly formed ultra-orthodox Hashmonaim Brigade who posted dozens of photos and videos of buildings engulfed in flames during their withdrawal from Gaza City to the “yellow line” defined in the Trump agreement, still deep within Gaza’s territory.

 

On Sunday, an Israeli soldier from the Kfir Brigade posted a photo showing himself standing in front of a set of burning wooden pallets. “On Friday, just before departure. Burning food so that it won’t reach the Gazans, may their names be erased,” the caption reads. The post also includes a song called, “L’Chaim!” (Cheers!), whose music video uses footage from Gaza.

 

The Israeli military did not provide comment by press time. The images posted to social media stand in stark contrast to the message put out on Truth Social by Trump: “Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly!” The burning of buildings taken over and used as command centers upon departure has been a consistent Israeli policy in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank. The scope of the carnage on Thursday night, however, went beyond any previously recorded individual arson spree.

 

Among the structures Drop Site discovered had been set on fire by the departing soldiers was the Sheikh Ajlin Sewage Treatment Station, a central component of Gaza City’s sanitation network. Monther Shoblaq, Director General of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) in Gaza, said the attack is a blow that could push Gaza City’s wastewater system “to point zero.” He added the plant is “one of Gaza’s oldest” and warned that its destruction will set back planned reconstruction efforts by years. “I mean, they signed a ceasefire,” Shoblaq said. “Why set it on fire?”

Trump FIRES 20% of Department of Education Employees

 

President Donald Trump has long said that the Department of Education is a bloated bureaucracy that drains taxpayer dollars while producing little measurable improvement in America’s classrooms.

 

This week, that promise to shrink Washington’s footprint in education took another step forward when the Department of Education laid off nearly 460 employees, cutting roughly a fifth of its workforce.

 

The most significant reductions came from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and from staff tied to the TRIO college access program.

Trump taps Dan Scavino to head Presidential Personnel Office

 

"Dan will be responsible for the selection and appointment of almost all positions in government, a very big and important position."

 

President Donald Trump has announced that Dan Scavino, the current White House Deputy Chief of Staff, will also be heading the Presidential Personnel Office in addition to his current role. The current head of the office, Sergio Gor, will become the new Ambassador to India.

 

Trump wrote early Sunday, "I am pleased to announce that the great Dan Scavino, in addition to remaining Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, will head the White House Presidential Personnel Office, replacing Sergio Gor, who did a wonderful job in that position, and will now become the Ambassador to India. Dan will be responsible for the selection and appointment of almost all positions in government, a very big and important position. Congratulations Dan, you will do a fantastic job!"

 

Scavino’s appointment to the role comes amid the ongoing government shutdown, which began on October 1 when lawmakers were unable to pass legislation to keep the government funded. Republicans have placed the blame on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his party, which wants a continuing resolution that includes healthcare for illegal immigrants. Schumer has said regarding the shutdown, "Every day gets better for us." He explained, "It’s because we’ve thought about this long in advance and we knew that health care would be the focal point on Sept. 30 and we prepared for it … Their whole theory was — threaten us, bamboozle us, and we would submit in a day or two."

 

Trump has ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to ensure that all available funds are used to pay US troops, who have been prevented from receiving pay due to the shutdown, on October 15.

 

"We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS. I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military, and the entire Security of our Nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous Government Shutdown. The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy. Thank you for your attention to this matter," he wrote.

Australia trying to backdoor digital ID

 

Communications Minister Anika Wells to meet tech platforms this week over looming under 16s social media ban

 

Anika Wells will meet with tech platforms in the coming days over the Albanese government's ban on social media for under 16s, with the Communications Minister expected to demand proactive enforcement of the policy.

 

Communications Minister Anika Wells will tell the social media platforms directly this week that they must be proactive in enforcing the looming under 16s social media ban.

 

Minister Wells has revealed she will meet representatives from Meta, Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok this week.

 

A meeting with X (formerly known as Twitter) is scheduled for November.

 

There’s less than two months until the Albanese government’s social media age restrictions will take effect in Australia.

 

eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant will join the meetings with the tech giants to tell companies directly what is expected of them in terms of compliance.

 

“In two months our world-leading social media minimum age laws will give children a reprieve from the persuasive pull of platforms and those platforms must work closely with eSafety to ensure their systems comply with the law,” Communications Minister Wells said.

 

“There's a place for social media, but there's not a place for predatory algorithms damaging children.”

 

The Albanese government is promising to work with the popular social media platforms to assist with their implementation of the new rules, but it warns there is no excuse for the companies not to be ready for the December 10 start date.

 

Tech platforms have already been issued with guidance on how they are expected to comply with the age restrictions.

 

It includes detecting and removing underage account, preventing re-registration of users.

 

eSafety has also told the platforms they are not required to verify the age of all users and cannot use government ID as the sole method of verification.

Netanyahu: 'The battle isn’t over — some of our enemies are trying to recover'

 

In a recorded statement ahead of the hostages’ expected release, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the moment 'historic' but warned that the fight is not over; 'Some of our enemies are regrouping to strike again'

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a recorded statement on Sunday evening, his second in recent days, ahead of the expected release of the hostages on Monday morning.

“It’s an emotional evening — one of tears and joy — because tomorrow our sons and daughters will return home,” Netanyahu said. “This is a historic event, but the battle isn’t over.”

 

He added: “There were those who didn’t believe this would happen, but our soldiers believed, many in our nation believed — and I believed. I know there are many disagreements among us, but today, and I hope also in the time ahead, we have every reason to set them aside. Through our joint efforts we achieved great victories that amazed the entire world.”

Netanyahu went on to warn that “some of our enemies are trying to recover in order to attack us again,” without specifying which enemies he was referring to. “But as we say — we’re on it,” he added.

“I am convinced that precisely because of the victories we’ve achieved, through our shared strength we will overcome the challenges ahead and seize the opportunities before us,” Netanyahu said.

“During the war, my wife and I met many times with the hostages’ families. We saw their pain, their longing, their tears. Those meetings guided me in every decision I made during the war. I embraced the families and promised I would not rest until I brought their loved ones home," he added.

“I want to thank you, citizens of Israel — you who stood firm day after day, with love for our country. Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new path — a path of rebuilding, of healing, and, I hope, of uniting hearts.”
