Jury Duty https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/jury-duty

After all these years I was finally chosen to be a juror in a case which is expected to last a week, a civil case, which are not usually jury cases, but this one is.
I will provide a few things that come up, but I just had a big weekend for a memorial service for a family member who has passed, so I am not really able to keep up to even my own satisfaction.

The Economic Generals
​ Pundits are criticizing Trump and his team for continuing to pursue tariffs as a means of tax revenue over and above the taxing of income on its own citizens. However, the men whom he has placed at the forefront of this battle could not be more experienced or accomplished in the wild game that is the financial markets. ​
​ Howard Lutnick began his career with Cantor Fitzgerald. They were a very professional outfit. During the 911 attacks, a huge chunk of the Cantor desk was wiped out in the World Trade Center attacks, including Lutnick’s own brother.
​ Lutnick knows his math, and the numbers he is crunching in the tariff game are designed to bring America back from the brink. Not only does he wish to see the revival of American industry, but he wants to make sure that the American consumer has a lot more money in their pocket to consume and/or invest with American industry.​ https://prussiagate.substack.com/p/scamocracy-part-iv

​ Kyle Young, Power Outages and the Coming Pole Shift
On the morning of the outage Ben measured a large weak spot in the magnetosphere that opened up over the North Atlantic. The suns energy poured though that weak spot and got caught up in the prevailing winds that just happened to be blowing right over the Iberian peninsula. Voilà! The electrical grid goes down.
My speculation about the reason for the cover up is that acknowledgement of this phenomenon would present a world of problems for the powers that be. Like the Aztec priests who kept their knowledge of lunar and solar eclipses secret to wield as a weapons of fear to keep their populations in line, perhaps the same holds true for the modern powers that should not be. If the masses learned that the power grid was so vulnerable, they might abandon it for something more independent. That would leave a huge gap in the authoritarian control scheme. For instance, if threats to turn your power off became hollow, CBDC’s would become much less effective. They want to maintain control as long as possible and wring out as much proift as possible
One of the things Ben points out is that when a major weakening of the magnetosphere (much bigger than what just happened) occurs and a massive induction current from the sun strikes earth, all electrical systems in the affected region will be over loaded to the point that fires will break out in every electrified building hit by that event. In this scenario, a wide swath of buildings on earth will be wiped out – not only cities and towns, but entire societies will be laid to waste. (For those of you who have read my series on the Maui fires and the more recent fires in Palisades California, this becomes believable.) Electricity from utility grids would end: There will be no gas, no refrigeration, no heating, no cooling, no grocery stores, no 911, no police, no hospitals, no phone service, no public transportation and so on. In a matter of two or three days, entire continents will be taken back to 1800. If the magnetosphere weakening continues, as the earth rotates, the rest of earth will follow suit.
As we have seen up to this point in time, the pole shift will be an unfolding scenario. Things will get progressively worse as we get closer to the day of the shift. According to Ben, the good news is, that day will mark the end of the tribulation. And yes, apparently the shift will occur over the course of one revolution of the earth (one day).
In other words, its the journey up to that day that will become increasingly difficult. Neither he nor anyone else knows when the shift will occur. It may not be until 2050, or it could be next month.
I’ve spent more time looking into Ben’s work. This is not just his take on things. He draws from some of the best scientific minds of our time currently working on this. I recommend folks check out his site. He provides a lot of proof for what he says. https://www.youtube.com/@SpaceWeatherNewsS0s

An aid ship bound for Gaza has suffered damage in international waters off the coast of Malta, with the crew alleging a drone attack.
​ While many elements remain unconfirmed, flight data showing an Israeli C-130 Hercules aircraft flying low over the region shortly beforehand has raised a striking question: have we just witnessed the first real-world long-range combat use of loitering drones deployed from a manned military aircraft?
​ The vessel, Conscience, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), was reportedly struck in the early hours of Friday morning. Activists aboard claimed an attack by drones, with two loud explosions, internal fire, and visible structural damage.​ https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/have-we-just-witnessed-the-first-long-range-drone-drop/

IMPROVING THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Executive Orders
May 5, 2025
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. Dangerous gain-of-function research on biological agents and pathogens has the potential to significantly endanger the lives of American citizens. If left unrestricted, its effects can include widespread mortality, an impaired public health system, disrupted American livelihoods, and diminished economic and national security.
The Biden Administration allowed dangerous gain-of-function research within the United States with insufficient levels of oversight. It also actively approved, through the National Institutes of Health, Federal life-science research funding in China and other countries where there is limited United States oversight or reasonable expectation of biosafety enforcement.
This recklessness, if unaddressed, may lead to the proliferation of research on pathogens (and potential pathogens) in settings without adequate safeguards, even after COVID-19 revealed the risk of such practices.

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to ensure that United States federally funded research benefits American citizens without jeopardizing our Nation’s security, strength, or prosperity. My Administration will balance the prevention of catastrophic consequences with maintaining readiness against biological threats and driving global leadership in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, biosecurity, and health research.

Sec. 3. Stop Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research. (a) The Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant executive departments and agencies (agencies) identified by the Director of OSTP, shall establish guidance for the heads of relevant agencies, to the extent consistent with the terms and conditions of the funding, to immediately:
(i) end Federal funding of dangerous gain-of-function research conducted by foreign entities in countries of concern (e.g., China) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6627(c), or in other countries where there is not adequate oversight to ensure that the countries are compliant with United States oversight standards and policies; and
(ii) end Federal funding of other life-science research that is occurring in countries of concern or foreign countries where there is not adequate oversight to ensure that the countries are compliant with United States oversight standards and policies and that could reasonably pose a threat to public health, public safety, and economic or national security, as determined by the heads of relevant agencies.
(b) The Director of OSTP, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the APNSA, and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall establish guidance for the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies with respect to suspension of federally funded dangerous gain-of-function research, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant research funding, at least until the completion of the policy called for in section 4(a) of this order. Heads of agencies shall report any exception to a suspension to the Director of OSTP for review in consultation with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies.

Sec. 4. Secure Future Research Through Commonsense Frameworks. (a) Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6627 and in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall revise or replace the 2024 “United States Government Policy for Oversight of Dual Use Research of Concern and Pathogens with Enhanced Pandemic Potential” to:
(i) strengthen top-down independent oversight; increase accountability through enforcement, audits, and improved public transparency; and clearly define the scope of covered research while ensuring the United States remains the global leader in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, and health research;
(ii) incorporate enforcement mechanisms, including those described in section 7 of this order, into Federal funding agreements to ensure compliance with all Federal policies governing dangerous gain-of-function research; and
(iii) provide for review and revision at least every 4 years, or as appropriate.

(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall revise or replace the 2024 “Framework for Nucleic Acid Synthesis Screening” (Framework) to ensure it takes a commonsense approach and effectively encourages providers of synthetic nucleic acid sequences to implement comprehensive, scalable, and verifiable synthetic nucleic acid procurement screening mechanisms to minimize the risk of misuse. The heads of all agencies that fund life-science research shall ensure that synthetic nucleic acid procurement is conducted through providers or manufacturers that adhere to the updated Framework. To ensure compliance, the updated Framework shall incorporate the enforcement mechanisms described in section 7 of this order. The Framework shall be reviewed and revised at least every 4 years, or as appropriate

Sec. 5. Manage Risks Associated with Non-federally Funded Research. Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the APNSA, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall develop and implement a strategy to govern, limit, and track dangerous gain-of-function research across the United States that occurs without Federal funding and other life-science research that could cause significant societal consequences. This strategy shall include actions to achieve comprehensive, scalable, and verifiable nucleic acid synthesis screening in non-federally funded settings. Any gaps in authorities necessary to achieve the goals of this strategy shall be addressed in a legislative proposal to be sent to the President, through the Director of OSTP and the APNSA, within 180 days of the date of this order.

Sec. 6. Increase Accountability and Public Transparency of Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research. The Director of OSTP, in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall ensure that the revised policy called for in section 4(a) of this order includes a mechanism whereby research institutions that receive Federal funding must report dangerous gain-of-function research, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, include research that is supported by non-Federal funding mechanisms. The reporting mechanism shall provide a publicly available source of information about research programs and awards identified pursuant to this section, including, where permitted by law, those that have been stopped or suspended pursuant to sections 3(a) and 3(b) of this order, and all future programs and awards that are covered by the updated policy developed in section 4(a) of this order. This reporting shall be conducted in a way that does not compromise national security or legitimate intellectual property interests of subject institutions.

Sec. 7. Future Enforcement Terms. The Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies shall, consistent with existing laws and regulations, include in every life-science research contract or grant award:
(a) a term requiring the contractual counterparty or grant recipient to agree that its compliance in all respects with the terms of this order and any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-offering agency is material to the Government’s payment decisions for purposes of 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4);
(b) a term requiring such counterparty or recipient to certify that it does not operate, participate in, or fund any dangerous gain-of-function research or other life-science research in foreign countries that could cause significant societal consequences or generate unnecessary national security risks, and that does not comply with this order and the policies ordered herein;
(c) a term stating that a violation of the terms of this order or any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-offering agency by any grant recipient may be considered a violation of such term by the recipient’s employer or institution; and
(d) a term stating that any grant recipient, employer, or institution found to be in violation of the terms of this order or any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-making agency may be subject to immediate revocation of ongoing Federal funding, and up to a 5-year period of ineligibility for Federal life-sciences grant funds offered by the Department of Health and Human Services and other relevant agencies.

Sec. 8. Definitions. For the purposes of this order,
“dangerous gain-of-function research” means scientific research on an infectious agent or toxin with the potential to cause disease by enhancing its pathogenicity or increasing its transmissibility. Covered research activities are those that could result in significant societal consequences and that seek or achieve one or more of the following outcomes:
(a) enhancing the harmful consequences of the agent or toxin;
(b) disrupting beneficial immunological response or the effectiveness of an immunization against the agent or toxin;
(c) conferring to the agent or toxin resistance to clinically or agriculturally useful prophylactic or therapeutic interventions against that agent or toxin or facilitating their ability to evade detection methodologies;
(d) increasing the stability, transmissibility, or the ability to disseminate the agent or toxin;
(e) altering the host range or tropism of the agent or toxin;
(f) enhancing the susceptibility of a human host population to the agent or toxin; or
(g) generating or reconstituting an eradicated or extinct agent or toxin.

Sec. 9. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
(d) The Department of Health and Human Services shall provide funding for this order’s publication in the Federal Register.

Albanese said she has been working on a report exposing the role of institutions and organizations –including banks, pension funds, tech companies, and universities – in crimes against the Palestinian population of Gaza.
“All those implicated and involved in the unlawful occupation, in providing it with support, are aiding and abetting violations of international law and human rights violations, and a number of these amount to crimes,” Albanese said.
“There can be individual responsibility and individual liability for those who have been aiding and abetting or enabling such crimes.”

• US Electricity From Fossils Fuels Below 50% for the First Time Ever

That includes electricity from off-grid systems. The article explains that utility generation for the grid is still around two-thirds fossil fueled.
“According to EIA data, fossil fuels still account for about 64% of electricity generation by utilities.“

The following might not be well known. The USA doesn’t generate enough electricity to cover its current needs, and has to import electricity. The USA is a net importer of electricity.
https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_electricity_net_imports

Even though only 1% of the vehicles on the road in the USA are electric, the USA still isn’t generating enough electricity to cover their use.
“According to an Experian Automotive report on electric vehicles, out of the 292.3 million cars and trucks on the road in the U.S. in 2024, approximately 4,092,200 (1.4%) of those were electric cars.“
