China-Pakistan Issue 5-Point Peace Framework

China and Pakistan on Tuesday issued a five-point initiative for restoring peace in the Gulf and Middle East, after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in Beijing. These countries have taken the lead, with Islamabad playing host to shuttle diplomacy - after earlier Egypt and Turkey also sent their top diplomats for a Sunday summit. In short, it is broken down according these five points and headings, laying out a broad path for Iran war ceasefire and permanent truce:

I. Immediate Cessation of Hostilities: China and Pakistan call for immediate cessation of hostilities and utmost efforts to prevent the conflict from spreading.

II. Start of peace talks as soon as possible.

III. Security of nonmilitary targets.

IV. Security of shipping lanes.

V. Primacy of the United Nations Charter.

Notably, there's nothing in here about 'denuclearization' of Iran or anything touching on what might be US-Israeli strategic aims, but instead it is quite ambiguous and broad as a proposed starting point. This comes as the US has signaled it could be open to an offramp or peace deal even if the Hormuz Strait remains under Iran's de facto control. Here is the document issued by Pakistan's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs accounts on social media:

Garland aware of Jack Smith’s efforts to pierce legal privileges in pursuing Trump, memo suggests

Memo prepared for Garland warned targets of subpoenas and search warrants had ‘valid’ protections being pierced.

hat did he know and when did he know it? That’s a question former Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland may soon face as the size and scope of Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s dragnet to criminally prosecute Donald Trump comes into fuller focus.

Evidence released in the past week by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley shows Smith’s team prepared a briefing memo in January 2023 – as the presidential race between then-President Joe Biden and Trump was heating up – which alerted Garland that prosecutors were obtaining the communications of as many as a dozen Trump private lawyers and allies and Congress.

The memo made clear that those gatherings were being done despite legitimate claims the lawyers and members of Congress may have for attorney-client and Debate and Speech Clause privileges.

The “AG BRIEFING” document by Smith’s office – dated Jan. 13, 2023 – provided Garland and his office with deep insights into the anti-Trump special counsel’s ongoing inquiry, and its future plans.

The documents were released this month by Grassley, an Iowa Republican, in coordination with Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts.

Garland’s intimate knowledge of Smith’s inquiry comes as little surprise.

Recent evidence also shows that Garland, then-Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray signed off on the launch of the so-called "Arctic Frost" inquiry into Trump related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Garland also said he “personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant” for the FBI’s unprecedented raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022. The Biden White House was also directly linked to the classified documents investigation into Trump, despite its denials, records show.

Smith did not respond to a request for comment sent to him through lawyers who have represented him. (He resigned as special counsel in January 2025.) Garland did not respond to a request for comment sent to him through the Arnold & Porter law firm, where he went to work in 2025.

Smith takes aim at “valid” congressional privilege

The Troubling Reality of How Millions End Up on Blood Pressure Drugs

It sounds unbelievable, but it is very real.

The Vigilant Fox

Mar 31, 2026

Nurses have a common saying in medicine:

When patients go unresponsive, or their vital signs become dangerous, it often happens 30 minutes AFTER they take their blood pressure pills.

For decades, doctors have mindlessly put tens of millions on BP meds without ever considering why their blood pressure is high to begin with.

In 90–95% of cases, people are diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on medication with “no known cause.”

Blood pressure is treated as the problem itself, not a signal of an underlying issue.

And that’s where everything starts to go wrong.

Blood pressure is treated like one of the clearest, most settled things in medicine.

If the number is high, lower it.

If the number drops—success!

But there’s a growing argument that blood pressure may often be a signal that something deeper is wrong with circulation, not the root problem itself.

And when medicine fixates on the number instead of the cause, people can get labeled, medicated, and harmed in the process. All while the root cause is completely missed.

The first crack in that story is surprisingly simple.

90–95% of hypertension cases are classified as “essential hypertension.”

That’s a technical way of saying: elevated blood pressure without a known cause.

Wait just a minute.. we’ve built an entire treatment system around a condition that, in most cases, medicine still cannot actually explain?

That alone should raise eyebrows.
