Kraken becomes first crypto company to secure Fed master account access
The approval lets Kraken speed up deposits and withdrawals for large traders and institutional clients, but is limited.

By Francisco Rodrigues, AI Boost | Edited by Omkar Godbole
Kraken has secured a Federal Reserve “master account,” giving its banking arm direct access to the Fed’s core payment systems and allowing it to settle payments itself.
The approval lets Kraken speed up deposits and withdrawals for large traders and institutional clients, but is limited, with Kraken not earning interest on reserves or accessing the Fed’s emergency lending.
The move is part of Kraken’s efforts to expand its operations and move towards a potential initial public offering (IPO), following in the footsteps of other crypto firms like Coinbase and Gemini.
Kraken has secured a Federal Reserve “master account,” giving its banking arm direct access to the Fed’s core payment systems and making it the first crypto firm to operate on the same rails as traditional financial institutions…
Power Lines, Tablets Linked to Brain Cancer Risk in Children
Wireless radiation from power lines and tablets may increase children’s risk of central nervous system tumors, according to a peer-reviewed study published in Environmental Research...

by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.The Defender
The electromagnetic radiation from power lines and household wiring increased children’s risk of central nervous system tumors, according to a peer-reviewed study published in Environmental Research.
Prolonged tablet use also increased kids’ risk, especially when tablets were connected to the internet.
Central nervous system tumors, such as gliomas, are the “second most common childhood cancer,” the authors wrote in their report…
DEATH VAULTS Iran shows off underground ‘Missile City’ of suicide drones & rockets wreaking havoc across Middle East in chilling vid
IRAN has showed off its sprawling “Missile City” packed with suicide drones and deadly rockets as Tehran wreaks havoc across the Middle East.

by Harvey Geh
Chilling propaganda footage shows a seemingly endless network of tunnels holding rows of devastating bombs and terrifying Shahed drones.
It comes amid mounting fears that the Gulf states, who are currently under Iranian fire amid the spiralling Middle East conflict, could run out of anti-drone weaponry.
US-backed Gulf countries have burned through their defensive stockpiles at breakneck speed amid waves of Iranian missiles and drones.
In the ominous clip, a ticking clock can be heard in the background as drone footage captures the extent of Iran‘s arsenal…
US launches military operations in Ecuador
The joint military operation with Ecuador targeted what the U.S. called “designated terrorist organizations” in the country.

By Aaron Pellish and Eric Bazail-Eimil
U.S. forces have launched military operations with Ecuador against “designated terrorist organizations” inside the South American country, Southern Command said Tuesday.
The military released no details on the operations but suggested in a statement that it was an extension of strikes carried out by the Trump administration against suspected drug trafficking organizations in the region.
“We commend the men and women of the Ecuadorian armed forces for their unwavering commitment to this fight, demonstrating courage and resolve through continued actions against narco-terrorists in their country,” said Marine Gen. Francis L. Donovan, commander of U.S. Southern Command…
Insufficient Sleep Strongly Predicts Reduced Long-Term Well-Being
Sleeping fewer than seven hours per night is strongly linked to reduced long-term well-being, even when factors like diet, exercise, income, and access to health care are taken into account

by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Sleeping fewer than seven hours per night is strongly linked to reduced long-term well-being, even when factors like diet, exercise, income, and access to health care are taken into account
Large-scale U.S. data shows sleep loss predicts reduced overall well-being more reliably than many habits people focus on daily, including physical inactivity and poor dietary choices
Chronic short sleep keeps your heart, immune system, and brain under constant strain, preventing the nightly repair work your body relies on to stay resilient over time
Sleep pressure builds when your cells work harder to produce energy, leading to natural signals that guide your brain toward deeper rest and stronger sleep drive…
Security Researchers Warn Age Verification Laws Are Building a Global Surveillance System
The people who spent their careers building the security systems governments want to exploit for age verification have finally had enough.

by Ken Macon
Stand against censorship and surveillance: join Reclaim The Net.
Three hundred and seventy-one security and privacy academics from 29 countries signed an open letter this week calling on governments to halt age verification rollouts until the privacy and security implications are properly understood.
The letter arrives as lawmakers across the world race to ban children from social media, pushing platforms to implement age checks before anyone has settled on what those checks should actually look like.
The signatories are unambiguous. Deploying large-scale identity verification systems without a clear grasp of what they do to user security, autonomy, and freedom is, in their words, “dangerous and socially unacceptable…
BREAKING STUDY: Living Near a Cell Tower Linked to White Blood Cell Elevation Comparable to Smoking
24% of residents living within 60 meters of a tower had abnormally high immune cell counts and over 50% of heavy phone users had abnormal immune cell counts — a signal of biological stress.

by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
For years, concerns about cell towers have been dismissed as speculative. Now we have measurable human markers.
A newly published peer-reviewed study examined people living within 60 meters of mobile phone base stations and compared them to residents living more than 300 meters away. Researchers didn’t ask about headaches or sleep disturbances. They drew blood. They measured power density inside participants’ homes. They ran complete blood counts and analyzed immune cell subsets. And what they found was not subtle.
Higher exposure to cell tower radiation was linked to higher white blood cell counts at levels similar to what is seen in smokers. Among people living within 60 meters of a tower, 24% had basophil levels above what doctors consider normal, and most of those affected were under 30 years old. That’s nearly one in four residents showing an immune marker outside the healthy range.
And it wasn’t only about living near a tower. Heavy daily mobile phone use — particularly 4 to 6 hours per day — was also associated with noticeable immune changes. In that group, more than 50% had lymphocyte levels above normal reference ranges, again largely among younger adults. These are white blood cells involved in immune defense, and when they consistently rise above normal levels, it signals that the body may be responding to ongoing biological stress…
MAGA’s new excuse for Iran war: Israel made us do it
Marco Rubio and top Congressional allies offer up a new excuse for attacking Iran, one so farcical that Trump immediately contradicted it.

by Aaron Maté
In justifying the US-Israeli regime change war on Iran, the Trump administration and Congressional allies have tried to settle on a new excuse: Israel made us do it.
On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted that the US struck Iran in response to the “imminent threat” that it posed to US forces in the region. Yet that threat, he argued, was solely created by Israel. “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties,” Rubio told reporters on Capitol Hill. “...We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage…
Simplicius: US Set to Escalate War into Ground Phase with Kurdish Vanguard
The next phase of the Israeli-American plan for Iran has been revealed.

by Simplicius
The next phase of the Israeli-American plan for Iran has been revealed. With multiple Trump administration mentions of ‘boots on the ground’, we now see a plan forming for the initiation of sectarian and separatist uprisings to further create turmoil in Iran. Per CNN and others:
The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN.
The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.
Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran, in the coming days, the senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN…
