"Earth’s magnetic field is weakening. The poles are racing. Solar storms are hitting harder than ever before. Are we already in the middle of Earth’s disaster cycle?
In this in-depth conversation, Ben Davidson (‪@SpaceWeatherNewsS0s‬ ) lays out the science, evidence, and consequences of the catastrophic cycles that have shaped our planet for tens of thousands of years. From magnetic pole shifts and micronovas to the galactic current sheet, Ben explains how these events unfold, what signs we’re already seeing, and why the timeline may be closer than anyone realizes.
We explore:
• Why Earth’s magnetic field matters more than most people realize
• How solar storms and particle radiation could collapse the global grid
• The evidence for recurring 6,000- and 12,000-year disaster cycles
• Micronovas, isotope evidence, and Earth’s possible 90-degree turn
• What survival might look like—and whether humanity can adapt
This is not just speculation—mainstream science confirms the cycles. The only question is when the next catastrophe will strike.
If you’ve ever wondered how civilizations fall, what lies behind sudden extinction events, or why this isn’t front-page news, this episode will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about Earth’s stability."

Louisiana Surgeon General Sounds Alarm: COVID Shot Deadlier Than Every Vaccine in History—Combined

Louisiana Surgeon General Sounds Alarm: COVID Shot Deadlier Than Every Vaccine in History—Combined
Planet Today
9/14/2025
https://www.planet-today.com/2025/09...nds-alarm.html


"Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Lee Abraham Jr. has sounded the alarm, declaring that the COVID-19 vaccine has caused more deaths than all other vaccines in history combined. “More deaths have been reported to VAERS following the COVID vaccines than from all other vaccines combined since tracking began in 1990,” the Surgeon General stated, warning that the public health crisis is still unfolding before his eyes.
“I see the fallout in my clinic every day. The PREP Act gave manufacturers immunity from liability for harms caused by these products, so they have little incentive to make them better.” Abraham Jr. then provided a series of peer-reviewed studied to educate those who are still brainwashed by Big Pharma and their mainstream media advertorials.
“When making that decision, it is important to keep in mind the facts. I list a few of them here because many people, including doctors, seem to be unaware:
. More deaths have been reported to VAERS after COVID vaccines than all other vaccines combined since tracking began in 1990: https://openvaers.com/covid-data/mortality
2. DNA contaminants were found in the COVID vaccines, which far exceeded the FDA’s allowable limits – including the cancer-causing SV40 gene from monkeys: https://tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....4.2025.2551517 3. Several studies have shown zero to negative efficacy as the virus changes over time, including this one from the Cleveland Clinic, meaning that those who took the shot were more likely to get the disease: https://medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/...2283625v5.full 4. The largest ever observational study, including 99 million people, showed increased risk of myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, venous sinus thrombosis, and other serious adverse events following COVID vaccination: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38350768/
5. Myocarditis is more common and more severe after COVID vaccination than from the disease: https://researchgate.net/publication...w_perspectives
Although I don’t recommend them, some contend there are high-risk patients for whom COVID vaccines make sense, but the question should be carefully considered on an individual basis by looking not only at benefits, but also risks. My hope is that patients and doctors will look closely at both sides of the equation when making an informed decision.”

17-year-old Adam Kadyrov will oversee tax collection in Chechnya — a position assigned to him by his father.

Before this, the underage Adam had already been appointed head of the republic’s security service, curator of the Interior Ministry and the Security Council, overseer of the special forces unit named after Putin, and coordinator of humanitarian aid for Palestine.

In recent years, under his father Ramzan Kadyrov’s orders, Adam has received 27 state awards.

Just days ago, he posted a photo on social media showing off a Jacob & Co watch worth half a million dollars — a gift from his father.

What is an unverified Bank Account ?

Probably one just like yours, if you have not accepted facial recognition, retina scanning, finger printing and digital ID.


86 MILLION Bank Accounts Closed in Vietnam

Vietnam: 86M Bank Accounts Soon to Be Closed

Starting September 2025, Vietnam will shut down 86M inactive or non-biometric bank accounts. Expats and travelers: here’s what you need to know.

Starting September 1, 2025, Vietnam will close over 86 million inactive or non-biometric bank accounts. A sweeping move that fits into the country’s digital transformation… and could directly affect expats, travelers, and freelancers.

Why this decision?

Vietnam has nearly 200 million bank accounts opened.

Many are inactive, dormant, or used fraudulently.

To protect the financial system, the State Bank of Vietnam now mandates biometric authentication (via VNeID or chip-based ID card).

Result: only about 113 million personal accounts and 711,000 organizational accounts will remain active after the clean-up.

The introduction of biometrics and VNeID

To address these risks:

Banks now require biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition), linked to the VNeID (official digital identity) or chip ID card.

Only accounts that are verified and compliant will stay open. This requires updating the data through branch visits or mobile apps, or linking the account to VNeID.

Consequence: a digital “spring cleaning”

After this sorting process:

Of the nearly 200 million accounts, just around 113 million personal accounts and 711,000 business/organization accounts will remain.

Roughly 86 million accounts, or 43 %, will be closed for inactivity, fraud risk, or lack of biometric authentication.

What to expect in Vietnam

The banking sector aims to clean up its client database, boost trust, and prepare the ground for a digital expansion (e-payments, online services…).

As of July 2025, fraud and loss cases reportedly dropped by more than 50 %, according to the State Bank.

Individuals and businesses must comply to keep access to their accounts and online services.

Is Vietnam becoming a regional pioneer?

These policies make Vietnam one of Asia’s most advanced countries in integrating biometrics and digital identity into retail banking, similar to recent moves in Thailand.

Another step toward a “cashless” society

Cashless payments are surging: in 2024, the value of digital transactions exceeded 26 times Vietnam’s GDP.

A digital VAT (effective July 2025) encourages non-cash payments.

Since biometrics started, fraud victims have dropped by 57 %.

In short, Vietnam is pushing hard toward a cashless society.

Who is affected?

Accounts that were never used or are dormant.

Accounts opened with outdated or invalid documents.

Accounts lacking biometric authentication.

If you’re an expat, long-term traveler, or digital nomad, now’s the time to check your account status.

Expats, digital nomads, long-term travelers: beware!

Non-residents and foreign residents must complete biometric verification. This often requires going to a branch with a valid passport or ID, depending on the account type.

Check your account status in the banking app or contact your bank ASAP. If unsure, proactively update your ID and complete biometric verification in branch or via official channels.

Summary

Neglecting these obligations risks immediate account block or permanent closure, cutting off access to funds and banking services—even for foreigners.

What to do to avoid surprises

Contact your bank to check if your account is compliant.

Update your personal information and complete biometric authentication.

Activate your account by making a recent transaction (even nominal).

Have a backup plan: open a new account (local or international), or use e-wallets to maintain financial access if needed.

Steps to take now

Contact your bank (phone, email, or branch) to verify compliance and requirements for biometric verification.

Update your documents: valid ID (passport, residency card, visa), current address, phone number, and personal status.

Complete biometric verification: visit a branch for facial or fingerprint scans, or use your bank’s mobile app if supported—this is crucial for compliance.

Make a transaction: a small transfer or payment signals that the account is active and reduces risk of automatic closure.

Prepare a Plan B

Consider alternatives: open a new account with another local bank, an international neobank (Wise, Revolut, etc.), or use e-wallets (MoMo, ZaloPay, ShopeePay…) to keep managing funds and transferring money if needed.

Practical tips for expats and travelers

Test if your banking app still works after September 1.

If you rely on a local account for salary or rent, update your details immediately.

Use widely adopted e-wallets (MoMo, ZaloPay, VNPay)—convenient and growing fast.

Always maintain an international fallback (Wise, Revolut, etc.) for emergencies.

What happens to money in closed accounts?

If a closed account has a positive balance, the bank is legally required to return the funds to the account holder or heirs. If the owner doesn’t respond, funds are handled according to legal procedures, which can take months.

Dormant accounts may accrue fees until the balance reaches zero, at which point they’re formally closed.

Vietnamese bank accounts: heading toward an IBAN?

Since the announcement of over 86 million inactive accounts getting closed as of September 2025, a frequent question from expats and travelers is: will Vietnamese banks adopt an IBAN like in Europe?

What is an IBAN?
The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is used in the SEPA zone and elsewhere to identify accounts in transfers. It includes country code, account number, and sometimes bank code.

How does it work in Vietnam today?
Vietnam does not use IBANs. Transfers rely on:

A local account number

A SWIFT code for international transfers

Bank-specified details
Example: to transfer from France to Vietnam, you need the SWIFT code (e.g., BIDVVNVX for BIDV) plus your account number.

Does the new law change anything?
No, biometric account closures do not introduce an IBAN. They aim to standardize services, digitize payment methods, and secure transactions—but there’s no IBAN rollout scheduled for 2025.

Towards international compatibility?
Even without IBANs, Vietnam is pushing for banking interoperability:

Card payments (Visa, Mastercard) are expanding

E-wallets (MoMo, ZaloPay, VNPay) are booming

Potential future alignment with SEPA-like standards might pave the way for an “Asian IBAN” or regional norm.

Practical advice for expats:

Always note your SWIFT code and account number.

Request a “bank confirmation letter” from your bank detailing account information.

Compare international transfer fees (BNP, Société Générale, ING, etc.).

Use low-cost options like Wise or Revolut to reduce fees.

Conclusion

No, this new law does not grant Vietnamese accounts an IBAN.
However, it paves the way for a more modern, secure, and globally compatible banking system.
For expats, this means staying informed, keeping records, and being ready for international transfers with the right codes.

“This Is FAR Bigger Than Anyone Thinks | Alex Krainer”

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Tpod7yyhMMk

(14:46)
"In this eye-opening conversation, Alex Krainer breaks down how global banking elites and Western governments are working to control the world’s resources — and why Russia’s $75 trillion in natural wealth has made it their number one target. He explains how Europe’s prosperity is eroding, with over 35% of families struggling to make ends meet, and warns of a coming wave of stagflation, debt crises, and social unrest. Krainer argues that the 2020 pandemic marked a silent coup where bankers took over the financial system, ensuring no major institution would be allowed to fail — but at the cost of unleashing inflation that will hit ordinary people hardest. From America’s deliberate dollar devaluation to the rise of BRICS as a real alternative to the Western order, Alex makes the case that we are living through the end of a centuries-old financial era."

The information in this video gives a valid explanation for the escalation of EU leaders in their efforts to destabilise Russia as they have nothing to lose. Menawhile it will impact most on the ecivilians, as usual.

Israeli-Aligned Billionaires Seize TikTok in Battle for U.S. Narrative Control

The White House has announced that the forced sale of TikTok will be finalized this week. The new ownership led by Larry Ellison - the largest individual donor to the IDF - will take control of U.S. user data and the algorithm which the White House says will be "retrained".

Ellison, who made his fortune developing Oracle - a database system he originally built for the CIA - already controls CBS, Paramount, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, Nickelodeon (which makes kids shows) as well as Channel 10 in Australia and Channel 5 in the UK. Ellison is also expected to finalize control over Warner Bros. Discovery (including CNN, HBO and the Discovery channel) before the end of 2025.

Even before the forced sale is finalised, censorship of TikTok content critical of Israel, including of the deal itself, has reached extreme levels as the platform moves to align with its prospective new owners. Fox – a Murdoch asset - is also seeking to join the Ellison consortium, a move that could enable cross-promotion between Fox and TikTok, further tightening the Israeli-aligned information bubble.

Disapproval of what Israel is doing in Gaza has risen to 60% of the US population, nearly double the approval rate of 32%.

The U.S. still has over three years of Trump left. Israeli-aligned Jewish billionaires control OpenAI, Google, Meta/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp, Palantir, CBS, HBO, and most of Conde Nast (Reddit, Vogue, The New Yorker, Wired, GQ, Vanity Fair) as well as numerous Hollywood studios, regional papers and radio stations.

Europe, meanwhile, remains largely absent, offering little real competition in the information space. Its one real success story? Telegram, which it managed to comprehensively alienate after France arrested its founder, supposedly for not handing over enough user data.

Will the EU and other U.S. allies align with the “Israelified” TikTok algorithm, or attempt to create a politicised alternative of their own?

Decentralised alternatives like Keet and Nostr offer strong resistance to censorship but are still young. Larger platforms like Telegram and Rednote carry serious risks of censorship, including eventual sell-off to other interests. For users the sweet spot may be to use both. One for political reliability, the others for a (politically temporary) audience.

Sniper Shoots Three People at Texas ICE Facility, Takes Own Life

DALLAS (AP) — Three people, including detainees, have been shot at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas and the shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, federal authorities said.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons confirmed the shooting during an interview on CNN on Wednesday.

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin later told Fox News that no ICE agents were injured.

“We believe he was shooting at law enforcement and detainees from an apartment building,” McLaughlin said. ”Detainees were among the victims of the shooting.”

Officers responded to a call to assist an officer on North Stemmons Freeway around 6:40 a.m. Wednesday and the preliminary investigation determined that a person opened fire at a government building from an adjacent building, Dallas police spokesperson Officer Jonathen E. Maner said in an email.

The Dallas Fire-Rescue Department was also dispatched after a call reporting a shooting at or near the immigration office, department spokesperson Jason L. Evans said in an email.

Parkland Hospital has received two patients from the shooting, hospital spokesperson April Foran said by telephone. She did not have any details about their conditions.

Comey indicted for alleged false statements, obstruction of congressional proceeding



Comey was the FBI director when the bureau launched the 'Crossfire Hurricane' probe

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a grand jury on two counts, alleged false statements within jurisdiction of the legislative branch and obstruction of congressional proceeding, Fox News Digital has learned.

Fox News Digital exclusively reported in July that Comey was under criminal investigation by the FBI. The probe into Comey centered on whether he lied to Congress during his Sept. 30, 2020, testimony about his handling of the original Trump–Russia probe at the FBI, known inside the bureau as "Crossfire Hurricane."

"No one is above the law," said Attorney General Pam Bondi on X. "Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case."

FBI Director Kash Patel took to X to say, "Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability."

"For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust," wrote Patel. "Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back, and under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on. Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose."

He added, "Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account – no matter their perch."

The indictment alleges that Comey obstructed a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information in violation of 18 USC 1505.

The indictment also alleges Comey made a false statement when he stated that he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source. According to the indictment, that statement was false.

Fox News Digital also exclusively reported that former CIA Director John Brennan is under criminal investigation related to the Trump–Russia probe.
