Arab League foreign ministers, meeting in Cairo Sunday, have agreed to restore Syria's membership in the League after a suspension of over 10 years due to the country's civil war. The ministers also agreed to support the U.S.-Saudi peace initiative to resolve the conflict in Sudan.
An Arab League statement noted that the "resolution of the Syria conflict is a step-by-step matter," and that the first step was the resumption of Syrian participation in Arab League meetings. The group supports the "territorial integrity of Syria," and the "withdrawal of all foreign forces" from the country.

Nothing says "make the empire sexy again" like this doofus getting a crown with stole goods, some BS divine legacy something blah blah blah.
Making the rounds, kind of funny.
This is not even peak stupidity. What is interesting to me is WaPravda and NYPravda are the proven nexus points of information distribution for the Old Guard, so either they've lost complete control of their own system or this signals a problem.
Worth noting on the Micro To Macro.

Are we looking at an eneMedia flip shortly. They are just one Biden family arrest from being put in a corner.
Stanford University's banking expert, Professor Amit Seru, stated that around 50 percent of United States lenders are currently underwater. He added that this issue is not limited to just Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic; rather, the entire United States banking system is potentially insolvent.
Foss cited Elon Musk who claimed, in an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, that more banks will fail as commercial real estate loans default . Foss said "a lot more" banks could collapse.
"The biggest banks are too big to fail, which means they will get bailed out," he observed. "But that doesn't mean that shareholders get bailed out, and this is where a lot of money can be lost. There are probably, by my estimation, at least $10 trillion of bank equity globally that can literally be wiped out if the system fails."
The U.S. regional bank crisis is spreading. With every bank that succumbs to shrinking deposits and/or market distrust, the probability of more banks falling victim to similar fates grows. A vicious spiral may be about to take hold.
Albert Edwards says the US economy is already in recession.
"The official US leading indicator tells us a recession is a done deal, not tomorrow, not next week, but today," the Societe Generale strategist who called the dot-com bust more than 20 years ago said in a note to clients on Thursday.
Many people took to social media Saturday to voice concerns about the U.S. banking crisis. Some stressed that this is a clear indication that the banking crisis is far from being resolved while others warned that the banking crisis in the U.S. is just getting started.
Gabor Gurbacs, director of Digital Assets Strategy at investment management firm Vaneck, opined:
The Fed had the data, knew what could be coming after their reckless interest rate policies yet they didn’t meaningfully warn either the government or the public.
“Sometimes it’s kind of relevant to panic. I would recommend you panic… You’ve seen the biggest waterfall decline in M2 right now. M2 is deposits, not loans. That’s the deposits fleeing the system and going into money market funds.
That could reach a crescendo where the Treasury and the Fed may have to come in and actually restrict your right as a US citizen to pull money out of the US banking sector.”

A protracted default would likely lead to severe damage to the economy, with job growth swinging from its current pace of robust gains to losses numbering in the millions,” the White House economists said.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the US could default on its debt as soon as June 1 if Congress doesn’t act.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Sunday called the possibility of invoking the 14th Amendment a “constitutional crisis” after President Biden left open such an option amid stalled debt ceiling talks.
There is no way to protect our financial system in our economy, other than Congress doing its job and raising the debt ceiling and enabling us to pay our bills and we should not get to the point where we need to consider whether the President can go on issuing debt. This would be a constitutional crisis,” she said
Now, another ethereum cofounder, Charles Hoskinson, who went on to create ethereum rival cardano, has warned the banking crisis is going to be worse than the 2008 global financial crisis that led to the creation of bitcoin.
Bloomberg’s senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone has issued a stark warning of the possible “severe economic reset” by this time next year, as he told the host of the finance YouTube channel Wall Street Silver during an interview published on May 4.
According to McGlone:
“By the time we speak next year this time, I fully expect we’re going to be in a severe depressionary environment. Unemployment going up, deflation continuing to tick down, and in this current trend, is PPI is dropping at the fastest rate in history.”
California’s reparations task force voted Saturday to approve recommendations on how the state may compensate and apologize to Black residents for generations of harm caused by discriminatory policies.
The nine-member committee, which first convened nearly two years ago, gave final approval at a meeting in Oakland to a hefty list of proposals that now go to state lawmakers to consider for reparations legislation.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become commonplace, and quantum computing is set to alter the landscape radically. The potential of quantum computers to process vast amounts of data at unprecedented speeds could render existing AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, obsolete.
Quantum computing, a revolutionary technology that leverages the principles of quantum physics, holds the potential to alter the landscape of AI and computing in general drastically.
The advent of quantum computing could precipitate the “demise” of current AI chatbots like ChatGPT. The raw computational power of quantum computers could enable a new generation of AI systems that are far superior in terms of processing speed, efficiency, and the ability to verify information.
The day quantum computers can render all current encryption methods meaningless. Q-Day was also coined for the dress rehearsal of the first atom bomb test in 1945.
As I was scrolling through my LinkedIn feed a few weeks back, I became captivated by a post from Michael McLaughlin, a cybersecurity expert who has been interviewed several times for this blog on various topics. Michael was highlighting an excellent article by Chuck Brooks in Forbes on the impact that Q-Day — the day that quantum computers will have the power to “break the Internet” — will have on the global cybersecurity industry
Michael’s post began this way: “Think of China’s spy balloon as a giant vacuum sucking up all communications in its path. Encryption protects us, right? Wrong. The Chinese government is collecting as much data as possible — both encrypted and unencrypted — because of the coming era of quantum computing.”
This event has been referred to as Q-Day by quantum researchers where large-scale quantum computers will be able to use Shor's algorithm to break all public key systems that employ integer factorization-based (and other) cryptography.
With a large quantum computer, China will be able to crack communications, stored data, and networks currently secured using conventional encryption techniques (RSA, DSS, Diffie-Hellman, TLS/SSL, etc.). This means financial transactions, trade secrets, protected health information, critical infrastructure networks, classified databases, satellite communications — everything — will be vulnerable.
Chinese hackers will no longer need to deploy malware to break into a system because they will have the keys to walk right in the front door.
While experts may disagree about the exact timeline for Q-day, it is coming. And when it does, the world as we know it will be rocked to its core.
There has been a long-standing theory that the motions and accelerations of the particles directly above a black hole might be a two-dimensional projection of what the black hole itself is doing in three dimensions.
This concept is called holographic duality and might offer a way to look for that critical interface between relativity (i.e., black hole physics) and the Standard model (i.e., particle physics).
In this case, Dr. Rinaldi and his team used an algorithm running on a quantum computer to simulate the particles that make up the project part of the holographic duality.

The Biden administration is riddled with Neocons, war hawks, Wall Street people, and former corporate lobbyists. That's what the party elite has become.
