Pro-life group calls euthanasia ‘safeguards’ bill the ‘silent death act’– www.lifesitenews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The Canadian Liberal government released a new bill designed to look good on paper by banning euthanasia for those with mental illness. However, in reality, if passed, a pro-life group says the “godless” law will allow people to be euthanized without their consent.

Bill C-41, also known as the “safeguards act,” was introduced Tuesday by Liberal Justice Minister Sean Fraser. The bill permanently blocks euthanasia, or Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), for those with mental illness. However, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) warned that it allows a “godless policy” of euthanasia to continue, leaving only doctors and nurses as a check and balance. 

CLC national president Jeff Gunnarson, in comments to LifeSiteNews, blasted the new bill, saying it is “referred to as a ‘safeguards act,’ but it would be far more accurate to call it the ‘silent death act.’”

“We now see consent being whittled away when it comes to euthanizing sick people,” he said. “Where this slippery slope inevitably leads is euthanasia without consent — a horror that is not without historical precedent.” 

The law sets out guidelines that will allow any Canadian adult to give an advance request to die by MAiD. Canada’s Justice Department claims that the new law does not mean a person would die by euthanasia automatically.

EXCERPT:

As the Taliban enters its sixth year in power, it remains more powerful than it was before the Sept. 11 attacks. The Taliban’s flag flies in all of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces. While only Russia has formally recognized the group as the country’s government, China and the United Arab Emirates have officially accredited or accepted Taliban ambassadors and exchanged diplomatic staff, with Pakistan, Qatar, Iran, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Turkey establishing de facto working relationships with the Sunni Deobandi group. Even its archrival, the Islamic State in Afghanistan, has seen its attack activity decline after years of counter-terrorism operations.

However, beneath the surface and far from the spotlight, the anti-Taliban resistance — a motley crew of over a dozen groups led by former leaders of the previous government — has survived despite having neither an established cross-border military sanctuary nor an overt state sponsor, two key ingredients for a successful insurgency. In the last two years, these groups have multiplied, and the tempo and geographical reach of their attacks have expanded.

Despite the anti-Taliban resistance’s modest gains, Western governments should consider preliminary public engagements with resistance leaders if Pakistan’s outreach bears fruit and the groups gain traction after unifying, while making future support contingent on their ability to seize and hold territory. Maintaining these relationships, many dating back more than 20 years, will preserve the West’s options should Pakistan’s relationship with the Taliban continue to deteriorate or should the Taliban prove unwilling or unable to constrain al-Qaeda’s external operations from its training camps in Afghanistan.

EXCERPT:

Intel has announced the acquisition of Israeli quantum computing software company Classiq for $2.2 billion. This is the biggest-ever acquisition of a quantum computing company and the second biggest acquisition in Israel by Intel after the $15.3 billion acquisition of Mobileye in 2017. Tel Aviv-based Classiq has developed an operating system for quantum computers.

This acquisition represents not only a gamble for Intel, which is mainly focused on developing and manufacturing core chips for computers and servers, on the quantum computing market, but also an entry into the realm of operating systems. In many respects, the deal is reminiscent of Google’s acquisition of Android, which was a pioneering operating system for mobile phones, enabling Google to gain a foothold in a vast number of mobile devices during the mobile revolution and, in the process, to exert control over aspects of their hardware.

Classiq, founded by CEO Nir Minerbi, along with Yehuda and Amir Naveh (a father and son serving as CTO and CPO respectively), will become Intel’s global development center for quantum computing. Beyond being the largest quantum-related acquisition in history, this deal marks the acquisition of an Israeli quantum company and represents the first time a big tech firm has purchased technology in this sector.

EXCERPT:

DAMASCUS: Syria reopened its main border crossing with Jordan on Wednesday (Oct 28) as the two countries reaffirmed ties that were strained by a deadly retaliatory strike by Jordanian forces.

Jordan’s strike – a reprisal against a gun attack on a church – sparked the worst crisis between the two countries since the ousting of longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.

Syria condemned the strikes on the country’s south as an “unacceptable violation”, while Jordan said it killed more than 20 militant fighters in its raid.

Jordan sought to ease tensions on Tuesday, saying it had “great respect” for its neighbour and expressed regret for civilian casualties.

The main Nassib border crossing, known as Jaber on the Jordanian side, was closed following the strikes, but passenger and commercial movement will return to normal as of Wednesday morning, senior Syrian customs official Mazen Alloush told state news agency SANA.

Last week, gunmen opened fire during a funeral service at a Greek Orthodox church in southern Jordan’s Karak governorate, killing nine people and wounding 25 – prompting a military response from Amman.

While Jordan insisted it coordinated its airstrikes with Syria, Damascus denied the claim, and Syria’s civil defence agency said the raids killed seven people, including three children.

On Tuesday, Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi spoke to his Syrian counterpart and emphasised Jordan’s “full respect for Syria’s sovereignty … and security”, while also expressing “sorrow and grief over the death of innocent civilian victims”, according to a joint statement.

News Source
EXCERPT:

When Anthropic goes public, the stock its seven cofounders hold stands to be worth up to $200 billion between them, carved up into seven nearly identical piles.

Each cofounder, including siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, holds a stake of between 231 million and 244 million shares. Those stakes would be worth about $21 billion to $30 billion apiece, if Anthropic’s IPO values the company at $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, as some some media reports have indicated the company hopes to do.

The founders’ equity includes exactly 2,185,400 stock options that each person can cash in now and 639,500 restricted stock units that vest after the IPO. Based on Fortune’s analysis, the share ownership gives each cofounder between 1.4% and 1.5% of the company and all told, the debut offering will amp the group’s wealth on paper to about $200 billion. (Full caveat, Anthropic hasn’t priced its shares and the exact details are subject to change. Fortune laid out the math in earlier analyses.)

The approach completely flattens the idea of the pyramid-shaped pay structure you find at most mega-cap public companies with a CEO or founder at the top making the most in cash and equity. At Anthropic, the core septet has no apparent pay pyramid, despite Dario Amodei serving as CEO alongside Daniela Amodei as president and board chairperson. The seven appear to hold nearly identical stakes, and each gets one vote in the entity that will control the company’s shareholder vote, with a separate trust set up to elect the majority of the board.

Typing a question into ChatGPT, asking artificial intelligence to generate an image, or using an assistant like Gemini may seem virtually free in terms of physical resources. However, behind every interaction lies a network of data centers, processors, electrical systems, and cooling equipment that is driving up the demand for electricity and water associated with the growth of artificial intelligence.

Statista’s Environmental Impact of AI report compiles indicators on electricity consumption, water demand, and greenhouse gas emissions associated with the expansion of this technology. The study also shows how environmental impacts can vary considerably depending on the model used, its training process, the infrastructure, and the location of the data center.

The report indicates that the global artificial intelligence market reached an estimated value of $548.79 billion in 2025 and projects that it will grow by another $866.4 billion between 2025 and 2032.

Eight days before the midterm election, two things have become certain. Democrats are going to take back the House, and after they do, Democrats are going to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

There is a list of Trump cabinet members who are likely to quit when Democrats win back the House, because they will be facing impeachment. Pete Hegseth is at the top of the list, followed by RFK Jr., and Linda McMahon, who has destroyed the Department of Education.

There will be an exodus of people out of the Trump administration after the midterm election. Karoline Leavitt got an early start out the door, but will be far from the last person to leave.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) said last month on MS NOW:

 Donald Trump himself has said it multiple times, that he’s planning to give pardons to everyone in his circle. But I actually very much disagree with the idea that we shouldn’t be trying to use every tool we have in the toolbox.

In particular, we have cabinet secretaries like Pete Hegseth, who Republicans think should be impeached at this point because of his illegal killings in the illegal war, and what we’ve seen over the last year is that when Congress did file impeachments, folks like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi were actually fired by the President because the American people were clear they didn’t want them in those jobs of trust.

So I think there’s a number of cabinet secretaries that have blatantly broken the law, done unconstitutional things, and I think they better get ready because we’ll come for them.

DETROIT, Mich. (WOWO) — Michigan lawmakers are facing mounting pressure to tighten regulations on data centers as public opposition grows over concerns about electricity demand, water use, environmental impacts and tax incentives for technology companies.

Experts discussing the issue at Bridge Michigan’s inaugural Issues Summit in Detroit said growing resistance from residents is beginning to reshape the state’s approach to the massive computing facilities, just two years after lawmakers approved tax breaks designed to attract developers.

The October 21 panel, titled “Innovation Collision: Balancing High-Tech Ambitions with Energy and Water Realities,” brought together policy experts, university researchers and local officials to examine the economic promises and potential costs of Michigan’s expanding data center industry.

Bridge Michigan reported that more than 375 people attended the summit in person, online or through a watch party at Alpena Community College. The event marked the conclusion of Bridge Listens, a yearlong reporting initiative shaped by survey responses from more than 6,400 readers who identified their top concerns facing the state.

Imagine reading a sentence. By the time you reach the final word, your brain is still holding onto the first few words long enough to make sense of the whole phrase.

The same thing happens when you follow a conversation, solve a math problem, remember a phone number, or decide what to do next. All of these tasks rely on working memory, the mental workspace that temporarily stores and manipulates information. Without it, thinking itself would become extraordinarily difficult.

Now, researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) say they have uncovered an important piece of the puzzle behind this essential cognitive function. In a study published in Nature Communications, they found that a small and often-overlooked brain structure called the claustrum appears to play a critical role in keeping information active in the mind for several seconds after the original stimulus has disappeared.

Their findings suggest that the claustrum may act as part of the neural machinery that bridges perception and thought, and thought and action. Working memory performs a deceptively difficult task.

Many saw this as a make-or-break election to defeat Israel’s most right-wing-ever government, accusing it of stoking racism and hatred.

A huge caveat in all of the current analysis is that the high number of as-yet-uncounted absentee ballots – mostly representing the votes of Israeli soldiers – mean that we are not expecting to have a clear idea of the final results for another day or two.

Overnight, both Netanyahu and Eisenkot addressed their supporters, pledging to form the next government.

“The right-wing bloc has a clear, decisive majority among the Zionist public, among the Jewish public and all those who support the Jewish state. That is what has become clear. A decisive majority,” the PM told his celebrating supporters – although he stopped short of declaring victory.

“We must form a strong, national, right-wing government. That is what must be done,” he added.

“The public has chosen change,” Eisenkot told his Yashar party after exit polls came out – most of which were initially more favourable to the opposition. “The coalition of failure has lost the people’s trust. The Israeli public voted against Benjamin Netanyahu continuing as prime minister.”

“I will work with my partners to ensure that the people’s decision is translated into a Zionist government: stable and good for all of Israeli’s citizens. And quickly – because that is what this moment demands, and because the country needs to be brought back together.”

What’s in the filing

Anthropic PBC, the company behind Claude, took a formal step toward an initial public offering, with plans to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market using the symbol ANT. Monday’s filing follows a confidential submission in June and moves the company closer to becoming the first business primarily focused on cutting-edge AI models to reach the public markets.

Both the company and certain shareholders intend to sell stock in the offering, with the number of shares to be detailed in a forthcoming amendment. Bloomberg has reported Anthropic could start investor meetings as early as the week of Nov. 9, and people familiar have said it aims to rival or exceed SpaceX’s record-setting IPO.

The listing is set up as a barometer for demand tied to the AI theme after a four-year run in U.S. equities. Anthropic says tapping public markets will help it keep pace as builders of frontier AI models collectively commit hundreds of billions of dollars to compute and data centers. The company is expected to reach public markets before OpenAI, a timing that could give Claude’s maker a funding edge.

Most of the toss-up state senatorial races are within the margin of error. That means turnout is crucial. This explains why President Donald Trump is campaigning. He aims to get the solidly Republican base to vote, which will offset the angry Democrat vote. But we should look carefully at Michigan and Minnesota’s Democrat senatorial nominees. They are campaigning at the end with the more extreme members of their party.

Abdul El-Sayed has refused to answer any questions related to his family’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood. He has refused to answer who is more dangerous to the USA, Iran or Israel. Regardless of his personal opinion, when in 2012 he co-signed a letter to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi to oust personnel from the previous administration, he did not want to lose the radical Islamic bloc, which is sizable in his state. His retort that such questions are Islamophobic is just a deflection. But he has not shored up his larger base.

El-Sayed invited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) to appeal to socialists. He wants Medicare for All, covering medical, vision, dental, and hearing costs without deductibles. He supports abortion rights and gender-affirming care. Further, he supports public financing for elections, ending the Senate filibuster, term limits for Supreme Court Justices, funding nationwide mail-in voting, a wealth tax to fund education and public housing, moving to green energy, government regulation of AI, and opposes military support of Israel. He brought in Ayanna Pressley and former President Obama, hoping to shore up left and black votes which he lost in the primaries. Bernie Sanders has supported El-Sayed, demonstrating his radical views. It appears that he is vulnerable, and the independents will determine the victor — El-Sayed or former congressman Mike Rogers, a less charismatic candidate.

EXCERPT:

As European and British leaders prepare to meet in Brussels on 20 November for the second EU-UK summit, a group of seventeen researchers has published a white paper arguing that artificial intelligence must be added to the agenda. The announced programme for the summit, hosted by António Costa and Ursula von der Leyen with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, covers defence, energy, agrifood rules, climate and migration. Yet despite recent reports of AI agents breaking out of their test environments, and an open letter from more than 1,100 industry employees asking governments to apply brakes, the technology is not on the table. The new paper, written by researchers from the universities of Sussex, Cambridge, Bologna, Macerata and Innsbruck, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the Max Planck Society, the Hasso Plattner Institute, the German Environment Agency and civil society organisations, contends that the time for AI regulation is now, and that Europe should lead. It sets out thirteen rules that EU and UK governments should advance.

The paper’s central argument is that the public debate has been too narrow. According to Jochen Büttner, coauthor from the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology, the AI debate revolves around safety, and the white paper agrees that red lines on models must be established and that liability for the companies publishing them must be enforced. But, he argues, this focus overlooks the fact that the most widespread harms of AI are fiscal and physical, and that AI companies are already harming people. The document therefore pairs the familiar safety agenda with two domains that regulators have treated far more lightly: the tax code and the environment. Its authors describe a technology sector that rewards the replacement of workers with software and that consumes land, water and fossil energy at a scale that local communities and national regulators are struggling to constrain.

Measuring the electoral impact of online mobilisation, however, is notoriously difficult.

While Lula’s allies credit Lula’s Army with helping fuel the comeback, political scientists caution that it is impossible to determine how many votes, if any, were directly influenced by the WhatsApp operation.

Political scientist Denilde Holzhacker argues that a shift in Lula’s campaign strategy was key to his comeback.

Rather than relying solely on online engagement, she says the Workers’ Party candidate succeeded in connecting digital campaigning with grassroots mobilisation on the ground.

According to Holzhacker, the campaign intensified local efforts and adapted its messaging – linking a Bolsonaro victory with concerns about potential changes to social programmes and the loss of rights.

“It was to Lula’s credit that he recognised his own weakness and completely changed his style,” she says. “And Janones managed to do something that had seemed unthinkable for Brazil’s left – dominate social media.”

Along the way, the legendary election law attorney has been harassed and threatened by a virulent radical left bent on silencing its political enemies by any means necessary. She’s been vilified by an accomplice media, the dutiful public relations agents for the Democratic Party. She’s been spied on by her government for the “crime” of advising and befriending the left’s bogeyman, President Donald Trump.

They hate her because she’s been so damn successful.
