A well-followed internet sleuth believes he has uncovered evidence that the FBI could be sitting on potentially explosive secret records involving dead sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The anonymous Techno Fog, a self-described lawyer and writer who has nearly 400,000 followers on Twitter and also writes a popular Substack column, says a recent response to a Freedom of Information Act request indicates the beleaguered bureau may be hiding something. Techno Fog sought all records relating to any interviews the FBI had done with Epstein.

"The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the information could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings," was the answer he said he received, which he posted online.

Comment: Nothing surprising here. The FBI undoubtedly has more information about Epstein, much of which damning either for them or those they're protecting. And they're not going to let that get out any time soon.

Electricity prices in Finland have reached record highs, according to the country's power grid company Fingrid.

"The price of adjustment electricity is currently exceptionally high at approximately €5,000 per megawatt-hour," Fingrid said in a statement on Thursday, noting that it has asked providers for more short-term power.

The operator also said it was forced to start up two backup power plants, Huutokoski and Forssa, early on Thursday in order "to balance the electricity system" and prevent blackouts. They were later shut down when "the situation was brought under control."

The Pentagon is recommending U.S. soldiers struggling with soaring food prices apply for welfare, in a move that underscores both low military pay and the economic headwinds facing the nation as a whole.

The recommendation came last month from Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston, and directs Army soldiers and their families to apply for food stamps through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program known by the acronym SNAP.

"With inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some Soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by on the budgets they've set and used before," the written guidance from Grinston reads.
"SNAP is a U.S. government program that provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families via an electronic benefits transfer card that can be used like a debit card to purchase eligible food in authorized retail food stores. Service members and their families may be eligible."

South Carolina Democrats are calling on Senate nominee Krystle Matthews to suspend her campaign following the publication of a rant in which she claimed that white voters should be treated "like shit."

Project Veritas released a video Wednesday that showed Matthews explaining how she deals with white voters. Her state House district includes parts of Berkeley and Charleston counties, both of which are majority-white. Matthews is set to face off against incumbent Republican Sen. Tim Scott in the November general election. She said in the recording:
"I keep them right here, like under my thumbs. That's where I keep it, like, you have to, otherwise they get outta control like kids. So for me, I know other people are tip-toeing around them. And I'm like, 'Yo, that's some white shit. I ain't doing that.'"
Several high-ranking South Carolina Democrats have called on Matthews to step aside, even though ballots have already been printed with her name on them.

The world wants no part of Woke, but it's glad we do

China can likely sink any $12 billion American aircraft carrier and its 5,000 diverse "they/them" crew that dares to venture into the Taiwan strait.

The United States obsesses over whether biological men can compete in women's sports as transgendered males.

Crime is spiking at levels not seen in 40 years. But it is considered racist to suggest that arrests, indictments, convictions, and incarcerations deter crime.

Major U.S. downtowns almost overnight went from mostly safe and clean to terrifying and toxic — and we brag that we are at least "tolerant" of the medieval conditions.

The Pentagon and CIA put out recruitment videos that sound like kindergarten diversity, equity, and inclusion programming. Yet the military is less eager to explain why the United States met utter humiliation in Afghanistan or why the army only has met about 50 percent of its scheduled recruitment targets.

'$2 Billion Daily': Potential rail strike threatens weakened economy

A group of freight unions representing 90,000 workers could strike next week, potentially exasperating supply chain issues in an already weakened market.

Strike concerns came to a head in July when President Joe Biden implemented a "cooling off period," which mandated a 60-day delay in striking for negotiations to occur, CNN reported. The mandate runs out Sept 16, and a strike on that day would lead to the immediate stoppage of 40% of all freight lines in the nation unless Congress extends the moratorium.

"The fact is [the railroads] are counting on Congress to act," said Dennis Pierce, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, according to CNN. "We've let [Congress] know we need them to stay out of it."

Part of the president's "cooling off period" also implemented a panel known as a Presidential Emergency Board (PEB), which recommended a compromise contract, according to CNN. The PEB recommended a 14% raise, including back pay for hours worked since 2020, annual bonuses of $1,000 and raises that combine to a 24% pay increase over the next five years.

EU proposes ban on crucial exports from China's Xinjiang over bogus claims of human rights abuses

In a move that could cause new fissures in already fraught trade ties with China, the European Commission is set to propose banning products involving forced labour from being sold in the single market.

But Brussels' pitch next week will adopt a dramatically different approach to the United States in the blocking of such goods, due to concerns about breaching World Trade Organization rules and over appearing to directly target Beijing.

The European Union ban would not be location specific, and would apply to goods made both inside and outside the bloc, according to officials involved in the planning.

Washington, by contrast, has banned all goods from the western Chinese region of Xinjiang, unless importers can prove the products did not involve forced labour. Businesses say that standard is almost impossible to meet.

Comment: As Tweeter Arnaud Bertrand notes below, Xinjiang produces 50% of the world's polysilicon, the base material for solar panels. That said, it's pretty clear that the West has every plan to drive its people into ruin, and depriving them of energy generation in every form possible seems to fulfill that agenda:

Bermuda is on the brink of a constitutional crisis after Britain blocked the Government's flagship legislation to legalise the use and sale of cannabis.

In a landmark move, Rena Lalgie, the Governor, said yesterday she had been "instructed" by the UK's foreign secretary to refuse to give royal assent to the Progressive Labour Party's Cannabis Licensing Bill.

Ms Lalgie previously reserved assent on the legislation in May and called for dialogue between Hamilton and London on the matter.

David Burt, the Premier, said last year that if royal assent was not given to the Bill it would "destroy" relations between Bermuda and Britain.

Comment: Thanks to the multipolar world, maintaining ties with one's overlords is increasingly becoming optional: China to sign a pact with 10 Pacific island nations on matters of security, policing, data and trade

Leaked video suggests Israeli health officials covered up serious safety problems with Pfizer COVID vaccine

A leaked video recording reveals researchers in June shared data with the Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) showing serious and long-term side effects associated with Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.

However, the MOH did not disclose the researchers' findings to the expert committee that met later that month to decide on recommending the vaccine for children under age 5, or with leaders of Israel's COVID-19 vaccine booster program.

Additionally, the MOH on Aug. 2 issued a report — on adverse events following the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine from Dec. 9, 2021, to May 31, 2022 — that contradicted the data presented during the early-June meeting.

A majority overall would like to see Biden impeached.

A new Rasmussen poll has found that for the first time a majority of voters want to see Joe Biden impeached. Perhaps the most startling aspect of the survey is that almost a third of Democrats either strongly or somewhat support the notion.

Less than half of Democrats surveyed strongly oppose the idea, with a total of 32 percent expressing support for impeachment.
