Economy

The U.S. dollar has reportedly hit a three-year low amid speculation that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell might be removed by President Trump. This speculation, fueled by comments from National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, has led to a significant sell-off of the dollar, with the EUR and Yen gaining against it. Gold has surged to an all-time high, and Bitcoin has decoupled from its usual inverse relationship with the dollar, spiking to above $87,000. This economic turbulence could prompt global monetary easing, potentially leading to new highs for Bitcoin and a broader currency debasement. However, some financial analysts suggest that the dollar’s decline might be more due to broader economic factors like trade tensions rather than the political drama surrounding the Fed.

Japan’s population decreased by a record 898,000 last year, marking the 14th consecutive year of decline. This drop, the largest since 1968, reflects a natural population decline of 890,000, slightly offset by net immigration. The country’s total fertility rate has reportedly hit its lowest since records began in 1947. In response, Japan has implemented measures like expanded child allowances and a four-day workweek in Tokyo to encourage population growth and improve work-life balance. Despite these efforts, some experts argue that immigration might be a necessary solution to address the demographic crisis, despite cultural resistance.

Hungary has passed a law that reportedly enshrines the right to use cash for payments. This move by Hungary’s government is seen by some as a declaration of independence from the trend towards digital ID, CBDCs, and social credit surveillance, positioning Hungary as a bastion for financial freedom in Europe. However, this law might complicate international transactions and could be seen as a step back in terms of financial modernization, according to some economists.

Geopolitics

President Trump has reportedly pushed for an immediate end to the conflict in Ukraine. This move has led to an ultimatum from Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Russian President Putin, reportedly resulting in an Easter ceasefire. This ceasefire is perceived by some analysts as a strategic pause rather than a peace initiative. The U.S. has also reportedly secured a minerals deal with Ukraine, with Ukrainian President Zalinski’s involvement in the negotiations being limited. Furthermore, there are reports that the U.S. is preparing to recognize Russian-speaking territories as part of Russia, aiming to end the conflict, halt military aid, and establish new trade terms for minerals and gas with Russia. However, this approach has sparked concerns among some Western allies about the potential long-term implications for European security and the integrity of international borders.

In another development, China has reportedly tested a non-nuclear hydrogen bomb, a 2kg device that produced a fireball over 1,000°C, lasting significantly longer than a typical TNT explosion. This test, if confirmed, could alter the strategic landscape in Asia and beyond. Some Western analysts have expressed concern over the potential dual-use technology, although no immediate threat has been perceived.

Health

A survey known as the “Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Survey” has reported that 83% of embalmers encountered white fibrous clots in bodies, a phenomenon some link to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. These clots, potentially infectious, have raised concerns about the safety of healthcare workers and the blood supply. The clots might be amyloid proteins or prions, which could lead to protein misfolding and infection. This issue has been brought to the attention of HHS Secretary RFK Jr., but no official response has been reported. However, skepticism from some medical professionals suggests that these clots could be due to other factors like underlying health conditions or the embalming process itself.

Additionally, documents referred to as the Pfizer Papers reportedly include a warning for vaccinated men to avoid intercourse with women of childbearing age, hinting at concerns over potential exposure risks through sperm, though specifics are not detailed. Mainstream media outlets have reported that no official warnings from Pfizer or the CDC have been issued regarding this specific issue, and experts argue that the mRNA vaccines do not integrate into DNA or affect fertility in this manner.
