Bitcoin Mining Shutdown Caused 20% Surge In Norwegian Electricity Bills
- The closure of a Bitcoin mining facility in the Norwegian town of Hadsel has led to a 20% increase in electricity bills for residents.
- The mine was shut down after the municipality declined to renew its permit due to noise complaints.
- Kryptovault operated the mining facility for 20% of local power company Noranett’s revenue.
- With the loss of its largest customer, Noranett is raising prices for households to compensate.
- Locals had complained for years about noise from the mine’s cooling fans. However, due to the closure, residents are now faced with paying several hundred dollars more per year for electricity.
- “When such a large individual customer switches off overnight, it has an impact,” said a Noranett manager.
- The company estimates bills could rise by up to $300 monthly.
- The situation highlights how Bitcoin mining can help reduce electricity costs by distributing grid expenses to a larger customer base. Bitcoin mine’s continued operation would have prevented the rate spike for citizens.

Meanwhile, the difference between 10-year and 2-year Treasuries, the most followed yield curve, continues to rise and is now the steepest since June 2022. This suggests the business cycle is nearing its end and the economy is likely to weaken. Will history repeat itself this time?

War
- The messages that the devices received were not from Hezbollah leadership; they were from Israel’s intelligence and military apparatus, and they were part of a multi-year plan.
- Israel never intercepted the pagers — it made them.
- However, unbeknownst to Hezbollah, Israel had been secretly manufacturing the pagers that Hezbollah was buying for years.
- The Taiwanese company Gold Apollo had contracted with a company called B.A.C. Consulting in Hungary to manufacture the pagers. B.A.C. Consulting was one of three shell companies that Israel created to mask the true manufacturer of the communications equipment: Israeli intelligence.
- B.A.C. Consulting created real pagers for numerous customers to create the perception of a legitimate company in order to get picked up for the contract to produce the pagers for Hezbollah.
- The pagers manufactured for Hezbollah were separate from those made for other clients, the report said. The pagers that Hezbollah received “contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN” and began shipping in 2022, the report said.

Ukraine bans official use of Telegram app over fears of Russian spying
- Ukraine has banned use of the Telegram messaging app on official devices used by government officials, military personnel and critical workers because it believes its enemy Russia can spy on both messages and users, a top security body said on Friday.
- The National Security and Defence Council announced the restrictions after Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency, presented the council with evidence of Russian special services’ ability to snoop on the platform, it said in a statement.
- But Andriy Kovalenko, head of the security council’s centre on countering disinformation, posted on Telegram that the restrictions apply only to official devices, not personal phones.

Ukraine is on a trajectory to lose its war with Russia
- Ukraine’s public relations arm excels at crafting a narrative constantly highlighting its underdog successes, it’s equally good at concealing its military setbacks.
- And while Ukraine keeps a running tally of Russian losses, its casualty figures are a closely guarded state secret.
- “A confidential Ukrainian estimate from earlier this year put the number of dead Ukrainian troops at 80,000 and the wounded at 400,000,” the Wall Street Journal reported a few days ago, citing “people familiar with the matter.”
- The fact is that, after more than 2 1/2 years of fighting, what has become a grinding war of attrition, suffering relentless bombing of its cities, civilian infrastructure, and energy grid, Ukraine’s fortunes are flagging, and despair is starting to erode its once-unshakable resolve.
Blinken has pushed the world to the threshold of nuclear war. His insane sponsoring of war in Ukraine to attack the Donbas in 2014 to initiate this civil war with the hope of dragging in Russia, weakening it, and then setting the stage for some false flag to justify invoking Article 5 to get NATO to invade Russia has been completely insane. This strategy pushed China and Russia back together, which Nixon sought to separate. Blinken has also caused Russia to embrace both North Korea and Iran.

They can screech all they want, but Kamala is the one who is ducking debates and refuses to go into any situation with unbiased media. She cannot perform outside of structure, and is only willing to go on outlets that are subservient to the DNC and won’t fact check her lies. This is desperation from the Dems.
- Since 1945, politicians have attended the Al Smith Dinner to trade good-natured barbs and raise money for Catholic charities helping children in the Archdiocese of New York.
- By 1960, the event became an important tradition for presidential candidates as it is often the last event at which the two major party presidential candidates share a stage before the election day.
- The candidates and speakers take part in some mild roasting, which requires at least a little bit of thick skin and a dose of deprecation, something the weak and fragile Kamala Harris does not seem to possess. She seems capable of only putting herself into situations with adoring interviewers and highly controlled situations.
According to AP, weak Kamala Harris has declined an invitation to the event.
Vice President Kamala Harris will skip this year’s Al Smith charity dinner in New York, breaking with presidential tradition so she can campaign instead in a battleground state less than three weeks before Election Day.

- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has accused the FBI of blocking a state investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
- In a press conference on Tuesday, DeSantis announced that Florida would conduct its own investigation, asserting that federal agencies cannot be trusted to investigate threats against Trump due to their ongoing efforts to prosecute him.
- According to DeSantis, these agencies have no place leading an investigation where the most serious violations fall under state law, not federal law.
- DeSantis believed that the FBI don’t want the state of Florida to have any involvement in the investigation.
- DeSantis: they’re not being cooperative. Yes, I am concerned. For example, our investigators were rebuffed just going to the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. I think they’ve taken the position that they don’t want the state of Florida to be involved in this.But here’s the thing, there were multiple violations of Florida law across multiple jurisdictions. We think at least three judicial circuits.This guy, Ryan Routh, committed potential violations of Florida law. We have a duty to investigate this. We have a duty to bring the appropriate charges, and we also have a duty to inform the public about how this happened. I don’t anticipate their cooperation. I think they’ve just taken that position. Ithink that’s unfortunate because even though I’ve been very clear, the state of Florida is going to do an investigation, I’ve not disputed their right to also investigate. It’s a federal government matter.He was in their protective custody as a presidential candidate. But let us do this. Hopefully, that tune will change, but I can tell you right now, Laura, we have not gotten a lot of receptive response.

- In another win for election integrity efforts in Georgia, the state board of elections—in a 3-2 decision—is requiring counties to hand count all ballots in November’s election. According to the Georgia State Election Board, ballots will still be counted electronically as well, but the hand count will be required prior to official certification of the election results.
- Critics of the decision are disingenuously claiming that requiring a handout has the potential of “upending the November election” and could “[delay] reporting of results by weeks if not months.” However, the electronic count will still occur, and voters will almost certainly know the election results reasonably quickly.

Scarred by violence, lawmakers plan for possible ‘mass casualty’ event
- Imagine the unthinkable: a mass shooting of members of Congress that leaves a large swath of the country unrepresented and shifts the balance of political power in Washington. In the current political environment, such an outbreak of violence is not as unthinkable as it used to be, according to a bipartisan collection of House members. The attempted assassination of members at a congressional baseball team practice in 2017, the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a dramatic spike in threats against members and, most recently, a possible second assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump highlight the need for Congress to ensure it can continue to govern in the aftermath of mass violence, they said. To address such a scenario, these four House members — two Republicans and two Democrats — are pushing an unlikely solution: a constitutional amendment that would allow members to be replaced quickly in the event of a mass-casualty event. In addition to ensuring uninterrupted representation for constituents, the amendment would discourage attempts to use violence to sway the balance of power in the House.
- “We’ve seen a 300 percent increase in threats against members over the last seven years, according to the Capitol Police,” said Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-Wash.), one of four lawmakers pushing the issue. “In an environment where we have seen a growing tendency toward political violence, imagine — horrifically — a baseball practice where someone has bad intentions and better aim. You can literally flip a majority for three to four months. Which I think is a frightening incentive for political violence.” Their proposed constitutional amendment would require each member of the House to submit the names of at least five individuals from his or her political party to their state’s governor. In the event of that representative’s death, the governor would choose a name from the list within 10 days, and the House speaker would be required to seat them immediately.
- The “continuity amendment” would also deny a would-be assassin the power to flip control of the House from one party to another, Kilmer said.
- Only 27 states have responded to the survey so far, Gambler said, but some state election officials reported that “it would be difficult to select candidates within the time frame required by the law.” Source: stripes.com
