Arkansas Looks to Hold Pharma Execs Criminally Liable for Vaccine Injuries
Arkansas lawmakers are weighing legislation that could pierce the pharmaceutical industry’s federal liability shield for vaccine injuries by holding corporate executives criminally liable for “vaccine harms” if they concealed evidence of risks associated with a vaccine that subsequently seriously injured or killed the recipient.
Under Senate Bill 6, introduced by Republican State Sen. Bryan King, an executive officer of a pharmaceutical company that “knowingly hides, conceals, omits, or otherwise withholds evidence, documentation, or information that the vaccine has dangerous effects,” would be found guilty of a felony and face a prison sentence of one year to life.
The bill is pending before the Arkansas Senate. King also introduced Senate Bill 5, to hold Pharma executives criminally liable for “prescription drug harm.”

Hochul signs NY law that will charge $75B to oil, gas and coal companies for climate change — but critics say customers will pick up tab
Gov. Kathy Hochul approved a controversial law that will force oil, natural-gas and coal companies to fork over a staggering $75 billion to the state for carbon emissions and allegedly contributing to climate change.
But critics claim the law is unworkable, likely to be challenged in court and will only end up costing customers more.
“What would you have them do? Not sell fuel in New York State,” said Ken Pokalsky, vice president of the New York State Business Council, which opposed the measure.

The Treasury secretary urged Congress to protect the full faith and credit of the United States by raising the debt limit.
Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen informed Congress on Friday that if lawmakers do not act to raise or suspend the nation’s debt limit as soon as Jan. 14 she would most likely need to begin using “extraordinary measures” to prevent the United States from defaulting on its debt.

Why US borrowing could soon eclipse Greece and Italy as world drowns in debt
When it comes to economic performance, few prime ministers or presidents would welcome comparison with Greece.
Images of protests, riot police and the streets of Athens ablaze dominate the international memory, dating from the country’s debt crisis in 2011.
By the pandemic, its debt was more than double the size of its economy, a position matched by some of the world’s poorest and most crisis-ridden danger zones including Eritrea, Sudan and Venezuela. It’s not a club anyone would wish to join.

Are China’s Big Gold Purchases for Protection Against the Dollar—Or to Attack It?
After taking a six-month break from an 18-month gold-buying spree, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) resumed its policy of large gold purchases in November.
On Oct. 31, gold reached a record price of $2,790.15 an ounce. Although it fell 5 percent last month, it remains about 28 percent higher for the year.

24 Reasons Why I Don’t Believe in Bitcoin & Crypto
Since Donald Trump’s decisive election victory last month, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, XRP, and a host of quirky altcoins are surging once again, evoking memories of the 2021 crypto mania. At this pace, even NFTs might stage a comeback—and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did! Over the years, I’ve made a number of successful bullish calls on Bitcoin, including in early-2016, 2019, 2020 before the 7x bull run, and the more recent breakout in October. Yet, despite these successes, I’ve never become a true believer in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. While the crypto community often dismisses, ridicules, gaslights, and shouts down anyone who dares to question their beloved investments, I’ve compiled a list of twenty-four valid and compelling reasons why I never fully embraced Bitcoin or the broader crypto arena.

Give states the power to shoot down drones, says Homeland Security secretary
The US Homeland Security secretary has said states need the power to shoot down drones following criticisms of the government’s response to sightings across the East Coast.
Alejandro Mayorkas made the comments after state officials in New York and New Jersey said that Joe Biden’s administration had failed to get a grip on the issue.
Kathy Hochul, the New York governor, said drone activity had closed down the runways at Stewart International Airport.

Housing Bubble & Bust #1 and #2 as Seen through Employment in Mortgage Lending
Housing bubbles create employment bubbles at mortgage lenders, and housing busts then cause the employment bubble at mortgage lenders to implode. From June 2021 through October 2024, employment at nonbank mortgage lenders plunged 35.8%, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
At the low-point in June, employment at nonbank mortgage lenders was down by 37% from the peak, having plunged from 292,700 employees in June 2021 to 183,100 employees in June 2024, the lowest since 1997, lower even than during Housing Bust 1.
Bill’s Commentary:
“If you look back at a chart, gold (and silver) back in October 2022, bottomed one day after the US Treasury said they were sequestering (confiscating) $300 billion+ of Russia’s Treasury reserves. The entire world saw this, do you really believe the world will be on board to store their wealth in something that can be shut down and taken electronically by the whim of a computer keystroke? No matter what, the US Dollar will lose its reserve currency status… B.R.I.C.S.”

As we are told the economy is strong and citizens are doing well, we continue to note and see further signs that this is not the case.
And as price inflation continues along with a sudden increase in interest rates, those who work for a living are being squeezed with their income barely sufficient to meet everyday expenses.

Vatican ‘on the brink of Bankruptcy’ due to dramatic decline in global donations under Pope Francis’ Leadership
The Vatican has found itself in an unprecedented financial crisis as of late and according to reports, it was caused by a decline in donations.
The Vatican, which is the global headquarters of the Catholic Church, may be on the brink of bankruptcy, according to the Daily Express. A combination of factors brought about the crisis, but many blame the management of Pope Francis, who became the 266th pope in 2013.
A decade later, in 2023, the Vatican reported an operating deficit of $87 million. The number had increased by $5.3 million in the span of a year. This is one of the largest debts the Vatican has ever accumulated, and it jeopardizes the livelihoods of retired clergy and staff.

Evolution works in mysterious ways. Sometimes, it creates specialized carnivores with sharp teeth and claws; other times, it turns seemingly peaceful plant-eaters into opportunistic hunters. Scientists have just documented the latter in action, discovering that California ground squirrels – those supposedly harmless seed-gatherers – have developed a taste for meat and the skills to obtain it.

Trump’s ‘explosive’ economic growth claims are no match for the $36 trillion debt
Jeff Bezos, Larry Fink and Donald Trump’s Treasury pick Scott Bessent all agree: Turbocharging economic growth is the best route to reining in the U.S.’s massive $36 trillion debt. History is not on their side.
Bessent warns that this is the “last chance” for the country to grow its way out of the record debt without becoming a “European-style socialist democracy.” Fink, who heads the world’s largest asset manager BlackRock, urged the incoming administration in an Election Day op-ed to promote artificial intelligence and infrastructure investments to grow the economy and tame the deficit. And Amazon founder Bezos told economic power brokers at the DealBook Summit this month that the only way to solve the problem is to expand the economy by 3 to 5 percent a year while simultaneously trimming annual deficits.

Trump’s Treasury Pick Sees A “Global Economic Reordering”
President Trump’s pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has stated that he believes the world is on the cusp of a “global economic reordering”. And he would “like to be a part of it”.
He has hinted at the need for a new international agreement on the level of the famous Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944. Bretton Woods, of course, established the world monetary order over 8 decades ago.
It sounds like Bessent is thinking big. He will certainly need to, given the challenges the Trump administration will face over the next four years. Trump will come into office at a key moment in American history, and his administration’s decisions will echo over the coming decades.
