A detailed analysis of the Jan. 6 pipe bombs found new problems with the FBI evidence and advances the notion that the case could turn out to be a government-created hoax. A video engineer who spent more than a year examining the pipe bomb evidence submitted a 26-page report to the House Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding Jan. 6. Known on social media as Armitas, the analyst was asked on Oct. 4 to submit his report by the legal counsel for the House Committee on the Judiciary. Armitas said he has been working with a Washington-based FBI special agent since March on a forensic re-examination of a case that had seemed no closer to a solution than it was over 1,700 days ago...
#6 Butyrate: The Quiet Healer Within - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, UncoverDC, 日本神経化学会, mLife Journal, and Seragon Biosciences on X
Despite the miracle that is our human body, in today’s clearly off-course world, we tend to look outside ourselves for cures. Yet, as is often the case, sometimes the greatest healers lie within, alive in the soils of our intestines, carried by microbes, poised to whisper to our cells in a magnificent biochemical language. One such miraculous messenger is butyrate. Though often not a part of the gut discussion, butyrate is an unassuming short-chain fatty acid that is quietly produced by gut bacteria as they ferment dietary fiber. When we take a deeper look at this quiet gift in our guts, we see that butyrate is far from insignificant. It is a guardian of balance and internal peace, and a living bridge between the microbial realm and our mammalian body...#7 US Kicks off Controversial Financial Rescue Plan for Argentina - Natalie Sherman and Ione Wells for BBC, Steve Marsh, Richard Christopher Whalen, Eddie C, John John, Chris Silas, and Grok on X
The US has purchased Argentine pesos, taking the next step in a controversial effort to calm a currency crisis hitting the South American country and its president, Trump ally Javier Milei. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the purchase on social media, while saying the US had finalized terms of a planned $20bn (£15bn) financial rescue for the country. "The US Treasury is prepared, immediately, to take whatever exceptional measures are warranted," he said. The announcement helped boost the peso and Argentine debt on financial markets but renewed debate in the US, where the decision to extend financial support to Argentina at a time of spending cuts at home has drawn scrutiny...
