Federal prosecutors late Monday alleged that the leader of the Oath Keepers encouraged followers to come to Washington, DC, on Jan. 6 armed with non-lethal weapons and later stood outside the Capitol during the insurrection directing them toward a potential entry point.

Just after 2 p.m. on Jan. 6, according to prosecutors in a new court filing, Stewart Rhodes sent a message on the encrypted Signal app to several of his followers saying: “Come to the South Side of the Capitol on steps.” At 2:41 p.m., Rhodes, who is referred to in court filings as Person One, posted a photograph of the Capitol with the caption: “South side of US Capitol. Patriots pounding on doors.”

Monday’s filing is the clearest indication federal prosecutors have yet given that they believe Rhodes played a significant role in real-time actions on the ground on Jan. 6. Prosecutors have already charged several Oath Keepers with conspiracy for their actions at the Capitol and have described the Oath Keepers as a “loosely organized collection of militia who believe that the federal government has been co-opted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip American citizens of their rights.”

Rhodes, who started the group in 2009, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Interviewed by Alex Jones for Infowars in late January, Rhodes denied playing any role in the storming of the Capitol. He has not been charged.

Although prosecutors referred to Rhodes by name in charging papers filed against Thomas Caldwell and two others arrested in mid-January, they began referring to him as Person One in subsequent filings. In a Jan. 27 filing, prosecutors wrote: “The Oath Keepers are led by Person One.” Prosecutors also quote public statements by Rhodes in their filings and attribute them to Person One.

The details about Rhodes’ Signal messages on the day of the Capitol attack came as the Department of Justice argued for the continued detention of Caldwell, a 67-year-old retired Navy officer from Virginia. Caldwell, who is not a dues paying member of the Oath Keepers, was with them at the Capitol that day and involved in their planning, including booking hotel rooms, according to the filing.

In the messages, prosecutors said, Rhodes communicated with other Oath Keepers leading up to the day’s events, advising them that the group would have “several well equipped QRFs outside DC,” using an acronym for Quick Reaction Force — heavily armed teams prepared to jump into battle.

Prosecutors have previously alleged that Oath Keepers, including Caldwell, had discussed QRFs and had made plans to use trucks or boats to ferry weapons into the District of Columbia on Jan. 6. Late last month, the government told a federal judge it had a “working understanding” that the Oath Keepers had a QRF stationed outside DC that day.

In group messages cited Monday, Rhodes had advised fellow Oath Keepers to avoid bringing items into the city that could get them arrested, such as guns; he suggested they wear eye protection, helmets, and “good hard gloves” and carry heavy flashlights that ostensibly could be used as bludgeons, according to the filing. Rhodes added that he intended to carry a collapsible baton because they “are a grey area in the law,” noting that “I’m willing to take that risk because I love ‘em.”

A grand jury has so far indicted nine people described as Oath Keepers with crimes related to the Jan. 6 insurrection; on Saturday a New York tattoo artist whom Rhodes last year designated a “lifetime Oath Keeper” was also arrested and charged.

Rhodes has repeatedly said in interviews and on social media that he felt the 2020 election was not legitimate and that Donald Trump should not relinquish the presidency. In their filing Monday, prosecutors showed texts sent by Rhodes expressing frustration that not enough was being done to stop the certification of the Electoral College by Congress.

According to prosecutors, at 1:38 p.m. on Jan 6, shortly after then-President Donald Trump finished his speech and rioters began fighting with the police outside the Capitol, Rhodes wrote to the group chat: “All I see Trump doing is complaining. I see no intent by him to do anything. So the patriots are taking it into their own hands. They’ve had enough.”

Just a few hours later, around 4 p.m., as rioters began exiting the Capitol, a large group of Oath Keepers “gathered around” Rhodes on the east side of the building and “stood around waiting for at least ten minutes in that location,” the court filing Monday said.

Caldwell was arrested on Jan. 19 and has been detained ever since. He has argued that he never actually entered the Capitol, that he is too physically disabled to have taken an active role in the riots, that he is not in favor of violence, and that he is not a dues-paying Oath Keeper.

Last month, a federal judge denied his request for bond, saying he “not just a danger to the community but to the fabric of democracy.” Caldwell subsequently switched lawyers and last week asked the court to reconsider his release, claiming that the charges against him were “riddled with inaccuracies.”

The Monday filing by prosecutors responded to those arguments, citing messages sent by Caldwell as evidence that he “plays a leadership role within the Oath Keepers” and was deeply involved in planning and preparation for Jan. 6. The filing also describes him bragging to friends about his role in storming the Capitol.

“I grabbed up my American flag and said let’s take the damn capitol,” reads one text message sent by Caldwell quoted by the Justice Department. “So people started surging forward and climbing the scaffolding outside so I said lets storm the place and hang the traitors.”

Caldwell subsequently sent another text message, prosecutors said: “If we’d had guns I guarantee we would have killed 100 politicians. They ran off and were spirited away through their underground tunnels like the rats they were.”

Media captionBattle of the concerts held on either side of the Venezuela-Colombia border

Venezuela has said that its border with Colombia has been partially closed, shortly after opposition leader Juan Guaidó defied a travel ban to cross it.

Vice President Delcy Rodriguez tweeted to say the “total, temporary closure” was due to serious threats against the country’s sovereignty and security.

Tensions have been rising over a row about the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Two people were killed by Venezuelan security forces on Saturday near the border with Brazil.

The violence was condemned by the United States government, which said in a statement: “The Venezuelan military must allow humanitarian aid to peacefully enter the country. The world is watching.”

Mr Guaidó, the leader of the country’s opposition-dominated National Assembly, last month declared himself the country’s interim leader.

He has since won the backing of dozens of nations, including the US. He has called the rule of President Nicolas Maduro constitutionally illegitimate, claiming that Mr Maduro’s re-election in 2018 was marred by voting irregularities.

What happened on Friday?

Hundreds of tonnes of humanitarian aid sitting just outside Venezuela’s borders have become a flashpoint between Mr Guaidó and President Maduro.

Mr Maduro has so far refused to allow the aid, which includes food and medicine, to cross over into Venezuela. Mr Guaidó has vowed that hundreds of thousands of volunteers will help bring it in on Saturday.

On Friday, rival concerts were held just 300m (980ft) away from each other on either side of the Venezuelan-Colombia border.

Mr Guaidó unexpectedly turned up at Venezuela Aid Live in Cucuta, organised by British businessman Richard Branson, on Friday.

He was greeted there by the presidents of Colombia, Chile and Paraguay – three of the nations who have recognised the 35-year-old lawmaker as interim president.

He alleged that he was able to cross over on Friday with the help of the Venezuelan armed forces. The claim is significant as President Nicolás Maduro has been able to retain power largely because of his military support.

Hours after his appearance, the announcement about the closure of bridges in Tachira state was made.

It follows a similar announcement made on Thursday about the closure of the border with Brazil – where another aid collection is being raised.

Violent clashes broke out there on Friday morning after members of an indigenous community reportedly confronted Venezuelan troops in the southern village of Kumarakapay.

Witnesses said that troops opened fire on individuals who tried to block a road to stop preventing military vehicles from passing.

Human rights campaigners said soldiers shot and killed two people and wounded 15 others.

A spokeswoman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he had a meeting with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on Friday in New York, in which he urged authorities to refrain from using lethal force against demonstrators.

Why is the aid delivery contentious?

Economic conditions have deteriorated rapidly since President Maduro took power in 2013.

The UN says about three million people have fled the country over the last few years.

Hyperinflation has caused the cost of essentials to soar, leaving many unable to afford basics like food and medicine.

Mr Guaidó has said the aid deliveries are necessary to stop Venezuelans dying. He has vowed to get his supporters to mobilise en-masse to get it in on Saturday.

‘Deeply uncertain’ day ahead

Analysis by Katy Watson, BBC News South America correspondent

This is the day Venezuela’s opposition has been waiting for. A day that will test the loyalty of the country’s armed forces towards Nicolas Maduro and determine his future.

Lorries laden with aid are expected to set off from both Colombia and Brazil and attempt to cross the border. A ship carrying aid is also travelling from Puerto Rico.

Throughout Venezuela, people will gather at military barracks to ask soldiers for their help in the aid effort.

Until now, senior officers have remained loyal to Mr Maduro – but with pressure being heaped on them to help the Venezuelan people, will they listen to their leader or change sides, support Juan Guaido and open the borders? These next few days are deeply uncertain.

President Maduro denies there is any crisis and has branded the aid plans a US-orchestrated show.

Performers at his rival concert on Friday performed in front of a backdrop that said #TrumpHandsoffVenezuela, the AFP news agency reports.

The US President has led the effort to recognise Mr Guaidó as president, and has implemented economic sanctions to put pressure on President Maduro’s government.

At a speech earlier this week, he urged the Venezuelan military to switch sides and abandon their support of the president.

He has repeatedly reiterated that “all options are open” in regards to the US response to the unfolding crisis.

Good morning.

(Here’s the sign-up, if you don’t already get California Today by email.)

On Sunday afternoon, Gov. Gavin Newsom capped a gloomy weekend by issuing sweeping new guidelines in an effort to head off the spread of the coronavirus in the nation’s most populous state.

He told anyone 65 or older and anyone with chronic health conditions to isolate themselves at home.

“Bars, nightclubs, wineries, brew pubs and the like” should close, he said. All restaurants, he said, should halve their capacity and keep customers at least six feet from one another.

The governor said there were no enforcement measures attached, yet — but those could come if people do not adhere to the guidelines.

[Here’s the state’s page with links to containment guidelines for various situations.]

The new measures came in the midst of a fast-moving pandemic, which has killed thousands around the globe.

Chinese court sentenced a Canadian man to death Monday in a sudden retrial of a drug smuggling case, increasing tensions between the two nations that have simmered since the arrest of a top Chinese technology executive in Vancouver last month.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau strongly condemned the sentence handed down to Robert Lloyd Schellenberg and suggested that China was using its judicial system to pressure Canada to release Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.

In his strongest comments yet, Trudeau said “all countries around the world” should be concerned that Beijing is acting arbitrarily with its justice system.

“It is of extreme concern to us as a government, as it should be to all our international friends and allies, that China has chosen to begin to arbitrarily apply a death penalty,” Trudeau said.

Schellenberg was detained more than four years ago and initially sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2016. But within weeks of Meng’s Dec. 1 arrest, an appeals court suddenly reversed that decision, saying the sentence was too lenient, and scheduled Monday’s retrial with just four days’ notice.

CHINESE HUAWEI EMPLOYEE, FORMER POLISH INTEL OFFICER ARRESTED IN POLAND FOR ESPIONAGE

Schellenberg’s lawyer, Zhang Dongshuo, said prosecutors had not introduced new evidence to justify a heavier sentence during the one-day trial, during which Schellenberg again maintained his innocence. He said his client now has 10 days to appeal.

“This is a very unique case,” Zhang told The Associated Press. He said the swiftness of the proceedings was unusual but declined to comment on whether it was related to Meng’s arrest.

The court said it found that Schellenberg was involved in an international drug-smuggling operation and was recruited to help smuggle more than 485 pounds of methamphetamine from a warehouse in the Chinese city of Dalian to Australia. A Chinese man convicted of involvement in the same operation was earlier given a suspended death sentence.

Fifty people, including Canadian diplomats and foreign and domestic media, attended Monday’s trial, the court, in northeastern Liaoning province, said in an online statement.

The court gave no indication that the death penalty could be commuted, but observers said Schellenberg’s fate is likely to be drawn into diplomatic negotiations over China’s demand for the release of Meng.

Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, accused Beijing of playing “hostage politics,” tweeting that the revised sentence was “a fairly transparent attempt to pressure Canada to free the Huawei CFO.”

The Chinese media began publicizing Schellenberg’s case after Canadian authorities detained Meng, the daughter of Huawei’s founder, at the request of the United States, which wants her extradited to face charges that she committed fraud by misleading banks about the company’s business dealings in Iran.

After Trudeau’s statement, Canada updated its travel advisory for China, urging its citizens to “exercise a high degree of caution due to the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws.”

Further escalating the diplomatic rift between the two countries, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman that Michael Kovrig, a former Canadian diplomat taken into custody in apparent retaliation for Meng’s arrest, was not eligible for diplomatic immunity as Trudeau has maintained.

Kovrig, a Northeast Asia analyst for the International Crisis Group think tank, was on a leave of absence from the Canadian government at the time of his arrest last month. Hua Chunying told reporters that Kovrig is no longer a diplomat and entered China on an ordinary passport and business visa.

HOW ARREST OF CHINESE ‘PRINCESS’ EXPOSES REGIME’S WORLD DOMINATION PLOT

“According to the Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations and international law, he is not entitled to diplomatic immunity,” Hua said at a daily Foreign Ministry briefing. “I suggest that the relevant Canadian person carefully study the Vienna Convention … before commenting on the cases, or they would only expose themselves to ridicule with such specious remarks.”

A senior Canadian government official said Chinese officials have been questioning Kovrig about his diplomatic work in China, which is a major reason why Trudeau is asserting diplomatic immunity. The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly about the case, spoke on condition of anonymity.

A former Canadian ambassador to China, Guy Saint-Jacques, said interrogating Kovrig about his time as a diplomat in China would violate Vienna Convention protections of residual diplomatic immunity that mean a country is not allowed to question someone on the work they did when they were a diplomat.

“It’s difficult not to see a link” between the case and Canada’s arrest of Meng, Saint-Jacques said.

Hua said the allegation that China arbitrarily detained Canadian citizens is “totally groundless.”

Days after Meng’s arrest, Kovrig and Canadian businessman Michael Spavor were detained on vague national security allegations. Meng is out on bail in Canada awaiting extradition proceedings that begin next month.

Canada has embarked on a campaign with allies to win the release of Kovrig and Spavor. The United States, Britain, European Union and Australia have issued statements in support. Trudeau called President Trump about their case last week and the White House called the arrests “unlawful.”

Last week, Poland arrested a Huawei director and one of its own former cybersecurity experts and charged them with spying for China. The move came amid a U.S. campaign to exert pressure on its allies not to use Huawei, the world’s biggest maker of telecommunications network equipment, over data security concerns.

The arrests raised concerns over the safety of Poland’s nationals in China, although Hua brushed off such worries, emphasizing China’s desire for the “sound and steady” development of relations with Poland.

“As long as the foreign citizens in China abide by Chinese laws and regulations, they are welcomed and their safety and freedom are guaranteed,” Hua said.

Créditos: Ciudadanos Luchando Contra el Racismo

El representante de la oficina de Lima Norte de la Defensoría, Fabián Tutaya, indicó que con dichas prácticas se produce una infracción y una vulneración de la norma.







La Defensoría del Pueblo recorrió este domingo las playas de Ancón y corroboró los actos de discriminación en los balnearios al privatizarse los espacios públicos, hecho que se produce cuando se niega el ingreso a personas por sus características étnico-raciales y su condición económica.

El representante de la oficina de Lima Norte de la Defensoría, Fabián Tutaya, indicó que con dichas prácticas se produce una infracción y una vulneración de la norma, dado que la normativa establece que las playas del litoral de la República son bienes de uso público.

En diálogo con RPP Noticias, indicó que documentará estos hechos cuestionables para presentar el caso ante la Fiscalía. Como se sabe, el Ministerio de Cultura también solicitó días atrás la intervención del Ministerio Público para restablecer el orden en los espacios públicos y prevenir futuros actos discriminatorios.

Tutaya criticó además que comerciantes alquilen los espacios a los bañistas; en ese sentido, demandó al municipio de Ancón intervenir para evitar que se “lucre con los espacios de la playa”.

Victorias recientes en contra del grupo islamista que llegó a controlar buena parte del territorio tanto de Irak como de Siria tras autoproclamar un presunto califato también han dejado entrever las tragedias que le siguen a la celebración, como ciudades destruidas en las que algunas personas desplazadas no pueden ni ubicar dónde estaban sus hogares al regresar o el hallazgo de decenas de cadáveres en zonas que estaban bajo el control de milicianos. El pasado fin de semana, por ejemplo, fueron encontrados 67 cuerpos en Qaryatayn, al norte de Damasco, después de que las fuerzas del gobierno sirio expulsaron al Estado Islámico.

Este video muestra cómo quedó Al Raqa, Siria, después de ser recuperado por una coalición de combatientes kurdos y árabes, las Fuerzas Democráticas Sirias.

Con el territorio que todavía controla y dado que parece estar armado con drones, el Estado Islámico podría regresar a sus raíces de insurgencia, según analistas, que alertan que la organización es muy efectiva en motivar a personas de diversas partes del mundo a perpetrar ataques en su nombre. Una posible solución sería monitorear mejor la propaganda del grupo en el internet.

Ante la posibilidad cada vez mayor de que el gobierno estadounidense pueda retirarse del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte, un grupo de cabilderos de todos los sectores industriales se ha encaminado a Washington para intentar convencer al Congreso de EE. UU. a que mantenga en vigor el pacto, que rige la relación comercial entre Canadá, México y Estados Unidos desde 1994.

De acuerdo con la Cámara de Comercio estadounidense, más de 125 integrantes de industrias como la automotriz, la agrícola y la de ventas minoristas planean reunirse con los cien integrantes del Senado estadounidense para presionarlos a que aboguen a favor del TLCAN dado que, en palabras del columnista de The New York Times y premio nobel de economía Paul Krugman, salirse podría ser “bueno para el frágil ego de Trump, y esa es una razón para temer lo peor”.

Representantes de los tres países se encuentran en medio de negociaciones para posiblemente modernizar el acuerdo, que Trump ha criticado como uno de los peores de la historia por su presunto efecto en la manufactura y tasa de empleo estadounidense, pero las rondas de diálogo han evidenciado muchas divergencias. México incluso ya ha tomado pasos para reforzar su política comercial e intercambios con otros países en caso de que la zona de libre comercio norteamericana se desmorone.

Tras el triunfo de la coalición gobernante argentina en las elecciones para el senado y la cámara de diputados, el domingo pasado, la agenda en el país ahora está enfocada en promover diversas reformas económicas, según dijo ayer el presidente Mauricio Macri.

“Entramos en una etapa de reformismo permanente”, declaró el mandatario, después de los resultados favorables para Cambiemos en el congreso, que antes estaba controlado por el peronismo.

De acuerdo con analistas, esas reformas serán impulsadas de manera gradual, ya que varias son poco populares y por ello conllevan un cierto “costo político”.

A la par de tales gestiones políticas, en Argentina avanzan también de manera gradual las investigaciones sobre las muertes del fiscal Alberto Nisman y del activista Santiago Maldonado.

Construir una democracia tras intentar desmantelar el apartheid en Sudáfrica fue un hito histórico, pero a más de veinte años muchos sudafricanos negros –tres cuartos de la población– no han visto que esa libertad política se traduzca en cambios económicos.

Millones de ellos no pueden empezar negocios o mudarse lejos de villas, y menos de la mitad de la población adulta de sudafricanos negros tiene un empleo formal.

Nombulelo Sakwe, de 38 años y madre de cuatro, vive en una casa improvisada hecha de latón casi igual en la que vivía de niña y buena parte de su sueldo como trabajadora doméstica de una familia blanca se pierde en costear el camión de ida y vuelta. “Nuestros hijos nacen en las mismas situaciones que nosotros. Todavía estamos esperando ver la libertad”, dijo Sakwe.

• La oposición venezolana se encuentra fracturada después de las elecciones legislativas del 15 de octubre pasado, en las que los resultados oficiales dieron la victoria a 18 candidatos del chavismo y a cinco de la oposición pese a que los sondeos indicaban que esta última tendría mucho mejores resultados. La coalición Mesa de la Unidad Democrática ha denunciado que hubo fraude, pero cuatro de los gobernadores electos juramentaron ayer al cargo frente a la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente –que otros integrantes de la disidencia han calificado como un órgano inconstitucional– y ahora podrían ser expulsados de su partido, una muestra de las divisiones dentro de la coalición.

Uno de los partidos que integra la MUD, Voluntad Popular, dijo hoy que no se presentará para las próximas elecciones, municipales, que posiblemente se realizarían antes de fin de año.

Border patrol stopped a total of six migrants suspected of terrorism in the first half of 2018, according to data obtained by NBC News, casting doubt on recent claims from the White House that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) stopped nearly 4,000 “known or suspected terrorists” at the U.S.-Mexico border last year. 

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen NielsenKirstjen Michele NielsenBorder policies are endangering lives This week: Shutdown nears record with no deal in sight Fox’s Chris Wallace challenges Sarah Sanders on claim terrorists enter at southern border MORE earlier on Monday told reporters that the number was classified, according to the news outlet.

Border agents stopped a total of 41 people on the Terrorist Screening Database between Oct. 1, 2017, and March 31, 2018, according to numbers reviewed by NBC. Thirty-five of those were lawful permanent residents or citizens of the U.S., while the other six were not “non-U.S. persons,” according to the data. 

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the weekend claimed that “nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally” on “Fox News Sunday.”

Fox News’s Chris Wallace responded by citing a recent State Department report, which said there has been no “credible evidence” of terrorists crossing the southern border from Mexico.

The data obtained by NBC covers the first half of fiscal 2018. 

The White House did not immediately respond to The Hill’s requests for comment.

Automated emails to The Hill from CBP indicated the agency’s press spokespeople are out of the office due to a lapse in funding stemming from the partial government shutdown. The shutdown on Monday hit its 17th day. 

“I will be out of the office starting Dec 22, 2018, due to the current federal funding hiatus,” the CBP emails from two spokespeople read. “I will not be able to return emails or telephone calls until I return to duty upon conclusion of the funding hiatus.” 

CBP encountered 91 people listed in the terrorism database at the northern border in the first half of 2018, including 41 who were not U.S. citizens or residents, NBC reported.

Inicia una semana importante para la política mexicana ya que el domingo se llevarán a cabo las elecciones en el Estado de México en las cuales elegirán un nuevo gobernador, después de conocer a los candidatos y sus aliados, te damos cinco claves para tener contexto antes de votar. Después de que Pemex mantuviera el monopolio por las gasolinas, llegan nuevos competidores al ruedo. Las bitcoins siguen siendo muy populares, tanto que podrías llegar a recibir parte de tu sueldo en esta moneda. En un triunfo inesperado, las Chivas de Guadalajara, salen del abismo en el que habían estado por años, gracias a “un viejo león”, Matías Jesús Almeyda.

1. 5 claves para seguir las elecciones en el Estado de México

En el Estado de México las elecciones presentan a los analistas políticos una radiografía del clima electoral para poder delinear sus estrategias para los comicios presidenciales, debido a la importancia de la entidad.

En esta ocasión se disputan en las elecciones de cuatro estados 445 cargos de elección popular y 80 de representación proporcional (plurinominales). En tres estados son 21 las personas que aparecerán en las boletas como candidatos a Gobernador, de las cuales sólo cuatro son mujeres y seis van por la vía independiente. Este es un año electoral en el que se renovará la gubernatura de tres entidades, con especial atención al resultado de una de ellas. Si quieres saber que depara en esta ocasión al Estado de México, entra a la nota completa.

2. Las nuevas marcas de gasolineras en México

12 marcas de gasolineras buscan alimentar el mercado mexicano de combustibles, tras romper los 77 años de monopolio que tuvo a Pemex en el poder de la venta de gasolinas y diesel.

Después de que en 2014 se aprobara la Reforma Energética, se abrió la posibilidad de que empresas nacionales y extranjeras iniciaran operaciones en nuestro país en el mercado retail de combustibles y otras fases del negocio del petróleo.

La idea es que con la entrada de nuevas marcas de gasolineras la competencia del mercado beneficiara a los consumidores con mejores precios y prácticas, a diferencia del modelo anterior en la única marca de gasolineras que operaba en el país era la de la paraestatal. Las nuevas marcas de gasolineras tendrán una nueva oferta de valor, al buscar diferenciarse unas de otras con la calidad y el servicio.

3. ¿Aceptarías cobrar parte de tu salario en bitcoins?

Para los que no saben el bitcoin en la moneda virtual por excelencia y está en alza. El crecimiento exponencial del comercio en internet y la alta seguridad de sus transacciones ha provocado que el precio se haya disparado en los últimos meses hasta llegar a superar los 2,700 dólares por unidad recientemente, el doble del precio del oro.

En este contexto, los comercios online más innovadores, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon o Subway, entre otros, han ido incorporando la posibilidad de pago con esta moneda a través de internet para prácticamente la totalidad de los bienes de consumo más comunes.

4. Arropados por sus cúpulas, en la recta final en Edomex

Faltan sólo ocho días para que se realicen los comicios en el Estado de México donde se pondrá a prueba el futuro del PRI, como lo dijo el candidato por el partido tricolor. Delfina Gómez Álvarez, la candidata por Morena, hizo un llamado al presidente de la República, Enrique Peña Nieto, a respetar los resultados de la elección porque según ella y su máximo respaldo político (AMLO), serán los ganadores de la gubernatura.

Josefina Vázquez Mota, candidata del Partido Acción Nacional, aseguró que por primera vez habrá alternancia en el Estado de México y dijo que “hay faldas y pantalones para poner orden”. Por otra parte, el candidato por el PRD, dijo que no va a declinar a favor de otro partido “Van a decir que nos dan ultimátums para declinar, nos van a decir que es nuestra última oportunidad y les quiero decir a los que seguramente van a querer decir eso en estos últimos días, que se ahorren las palabras, les quiero decir que yo sí tengo lealtad y mi lealtad está con el PRD y con ustedes y que vamos a ganar y que se ahorren las palabras”.

5. Almeyda, un ‘viejo león’, toca la gloria

Las Chivas del Guadalajara tenían un largo tiempo sin saborear la victoria. Un “viejo león” llegó al equipo para cambiar la historia. Después de sufrir una depresión, Matías Jesús Almeyda, director técnico del Club Guadalajara, logró transmitirle al equipo de 11 jugadores, el coraje y la pasión de más de 40 millones de aficionados a este equipo para levantar la copa el domingo en la final de la Liga MX.

El equipo parecía estar condenado al descenso cuando llegó Matías a liderar al rebaño sagrado. La recuperación emocional del director técnico se impregnó también en el equipo, logrando que los jugadores obtuvieran el título en Guadalajara.

A series of battles between Trump administration officials and congressional Democrats escalated over the weekend as one high-profile Cabinet member threatened to boycott a scheduled hearing and another official was facing the threat of contempt proceedings.

Attorney General Bill Barr has been slated to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday to testify on the process behind the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, but it is unclear at this point if he will attend. Fox News learned over the weekend that Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., wanted to have committee staff question Barr on his handling of the report.

But Barr wants lawmakers to do the questioning and, according to a source close to the committee, has said he will not come in to testify based on where things currently stand.

BARR SPARS WITH NADLER, THREATENS TO SKIP TESTIMONY AFTER DISPUTE OVER HEARING FORMAT

“The Attorney General agreed to appear before Congress. Therefore, Members of Congress should be the ones doing the questioning,” Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told Fox News. “He remains happy to engage with Members on their questions regarding the Mueller report.”

Discussions are ongoing, and it’s unclear if they might reach a resolution. A spokesperson for committee Republicans called Democrats’ demands “abusive and illogical.”

“Attorney General Barr wasn’t asked to testify before the committee—he offered. He provided the Mueller report voluntarily. He invited Democrat leaders to view the less redacted report in person. Yet the only thing, apparently, that will satisfy Democrats, who refuse to read the less redacted report, is to have staff pinch hit when a cabinet-level official appears before us,” the spokesperson said.

Is it unusual for committee counsels to question a witness, but committees generally can make their own rules. Other panels have made similar exceptions.

Barr has faced heated criticism since last month when he released an initial four-page summary of Mueller’s findings. Barr stated that the special counsel found no evidence of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election. Mueller also led an inquiry into whether the president obstructed justice in the investigation, but ultimately did not come to a conclusion on the matter. Instead, Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced that the evidence found in the probe was not sufficient to charge the president with an obstruction of justice offense.

Democrats have questioned that conclusion, especially after Barr released the nearly 500-page report recounting numerous incidents of Trump allegedly trying to curtail the probe. Democrats also objected to the redactions made in the report issued to the public.

JIM JORDAN WARNS WHITE HOUSE OF POTENTIAL CUMMINGS CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST CARL KLINE

“He is attorney general of the United States of America, not the attorney general of Donald Trump,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said earlier this month.

Meanwhile, a separate battle has developed over the testimony of ex-White House security official Carl Kline. House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., subpoenaed Kline earlier this month to appear before the panel as part of its investigation into the issuing of security clearances at the White House. But last week, the White House blocked Kline’s testimony.

The White House told Kline to defy the subpoena and said Kline could not testify unless a member from the White House counsel’s office was present. The White House made that request to Cummings, but was denied.

On Friday, committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, warned the White House that Cummings could initiate contempt proceedings against Kline should he not appear. Jordan requested that Kline come for a transcribed interview with committee staff. A source close to Jordan told Fox News Friday that the move was “in an attempt to get Kline’s testimony, not to head off contempt, but to de-escalate, respect the process, and get information.”

CUMMINGS SCHEDULES TESTIMONY FROM EX-WHITE HOUSE SECURITY OFFICIAL IN CLEARANCE PROBE

The White House has since opened the door to a limited interview. In a letter over the weekend, Cummings scheduled one for Wednesday morning but said the scope will not be limited — and reiterated his contempt threat in stark terms.

“Based on the record before us, I am confident that the Committee could move forward with contempt against you immediately, particularly since your defiance of the Committee’s subpoena was so flagrant,” Cummings wrote. “… You will be expected to answer all of the Committee’s questions, including questions about specific White House officials and allegations of retaliation against the whistleblower. If you answer all of these questions, there would be no need for the Committee to pursue contempt against you in the future. This burden rests squarely with you, with the advice of your personal counsel, and not with White House attorneys who may direct you to disregard the Committee’s questions without an assertion of privilege.”

The probe intensified after Tricia Newbold, an 18-year government employee who oversaw the issuance of clearances for some senior White House aides, revealed that she compiled a list of at least 25 officials who were initially denied security clearances last year, but had senior officials overrule those denials.

The clash between the White House and Congress is escalating on other fronts as well. The president, last week, vowed to fight all subpoenas for current and former Trump administration officials.

“We’re fighting all of the subpoenas,” Trump said last week. “Look, these aren’t like, impartial people. They are Democrats trying to win in 2020. …They’re not going to win against me.”

He added that “the only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me on nonsense.”

In a separate push, top Democrats on several House committees launched an investigation into the massive shakeup in leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, citing allegations that the president removed top officials for refusing to carry out his desired immigration policies. The first witness the panels called was White House adviser Stephen Miller, but the White House blocked his testimony as well.

White House Counsel Pat Cipollone notified Cummings that Miller would decline the invitation, and instead, offered cabinet secretaries and other agency officials to appear instead.

Also last week, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed former White House Counsel Don McGahn, whose testimony, likely related to Mueller’s obstruction inquiry, was also blocked by the White House.

Trump, last week, called the McGahn subpoena “ridiculous,” and also touted his administration’s transparency.

“I let everybody testify. There’s never ever been transparency like this,” Trump said. “With all of this transparency, we finished. No collusion, no obstruction…But then I get out, the first day, they say, ‘let’s do it again.’ I say, that’s enough, we have to run a country. We have a very great country to run.”

Fox News’ Mike Emanuel, Gregg Re, and Kristin Brown and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

En las noticias más leídas del día, declaran alerta en la CDMX para la población en general, ante los efectos causados por la tormenta registrada la tarde de este miércoles. Nueve estaciones de la Línea 7 del metro fueron cerradas este jueves por inundaciones y lluvia, por lo que sólo se prestó servicio de Barranca del Muerto a Tacubaya. Con el fin de facilitar la búsqueda de noticias reales a los usuarios, Google Noticias realizó seis actualizaciones que incluyeron cambios en el diseño, la navegación, tarjetas, verificación, videos y ajustes. Otro que quiere estar a la vanguardia es el sitio de pornografía, Pornhub, que ahora experimenta con realidad virtual.

1. Lluvias ponen en alerta a parte de Ciudad de México

Autoridades de la CDMX lanzaron una alerta para la población en general, ante los daños causados por la tormenta registrada la tarde de este miércoles en la capital y que han causado afectaciones en las delegaciones Miguel Hidalgo y Azcapotzalco, principalmente.

El secretario de Protección Civil de la Ciudad de México, Fausto Lugo, indicó que los diferentes vasos reguladores que hay en la zona de Álvaro Obregón están bajo control, por lo que se mantienen dentro de los niveles aceptables.

2. Línea 7 del Metro, cerrada por inundación y lluvias

El día de hoy, el Sistema de Transporte Colectivo Metro mantuvo sin servicio nueve estaciones de la Línea 7 y sólo ofreció servicio de Barranca del Muerto a Tacubaya, por lo que en el tramo de Tacubaya a El Rosario apoya el Sistema M1 a los usuarios.

A través de su cuenta de Twitter @MetroCDMX, el SCT indicó: “#AvisoMetro Únicamente se ofrece servicio de #BarrancaDelMuerto a #Tacubaya, en las demás estaciones de #L7 apoya @SistemaM1CDMX”.

3. 6 actualizaciones de Google Noticias

Luego de tanta noticia falsa, la forma en que los usuarios interactúan con los contenidos noticiosos ha sido un tema muy observado e importante para las editoriales.

Por esta razón, Google Noticias hizo actualizaciones en el diseño, navegación, presentación del contenido, verificación, videos y ajustes de su portal para facilitar la búsqueda y lectura de la información, con el objetivo de entregar resultados de mayor calidad para el usuario.

4. Inversiones y sanciones en 20 años de las afores

Las afores están de fiesta, luego de que el próximo 1 de julio, celebran 20 años de existencia, aportando 1 billón de pesos en inversiones en sectores clave del desarrollo de la economía.

Enfrentan, no obstante, el reto de recuperar parte de la confianza de los ahorradores tras las sanciones que recibieron por malas prácticas comerciales que les impuso la Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica.

El presidente de la Comisión Nacional del Sistema de Ahorro para el Retiro, Carlos Ramírez, menciona que de los casi 3 billones de pesos que administran las afores, 1 billón de pesos están invertidos en proyectos como la red compartida en telecomunicaciones, la Ronda Uno en el sector energético y en bonos educativos, que permitirán financiar la infraestructura de las escuelas.

5. Pornhub experimenta realidad virtual y ofrece porno interactivo

Si eres fan del porno, está noticia te va a encantar. La plataforma digital canadiense de películas pornográficas, Pornhub, se asoció con fabricantes de juguetes sexuales para adultos y lanzó una nueva categoría interactiva dentro de su oferta de contenido para adultos, en la que se ofrecen cientos de videos específicamente clasificados para su uso con dispositivos de Realidad Virtual y para uso con juguetes sexuales.

Según el portal de tecnología thenextweb.com que difundió la noticia de Pornhub, lo interesante de esta nueva categoría es que cada video fue programado para complacer a los usuarios con una experiencia más inmersiva. Se trata de tecnología que al conectarse con el hardware adecuado (los juguetes diseñados por Fleshlight y Kiiroo ), el video es acompañado de impulsos sincronizados compatibles con los juguetes.

    Algunos destellos en las redes. Alguien colgó una frase de Jauretche: “Los gobiernos populares son débiles ante el escándalo. No tienen, ni cuentan con la recíproca solidaridad encubridora de la oligarquía y son sus propios partidarios quienes señalan sus defectos, que después magnifica la prensa. El pequeño delito doméstico se agiganta para ocultar el delito nacional que las oligarquías preparan en la sombra y el vendepatria se horroriza ante las sisas de la cocinera”. Lo escribió tras la caída de Irigoyen, cuando al gobierno del “Peludo” no lo bajaban de inepto y corrupto. Ocurrió hace más de 80 años y todavía no se hablaba de sociedad de la información ni de “semiocapitalismo”. Y en seguida vino el golpe de la oligarquía. Siguieron bastante tiempo con esa letra como una manera de destripar la recuperación del movimiento popular. Las denuncias nunca se probaron pero el Irigoyenismo tardó mucho en salir del bache.

    Allí estaban Crítica y La Nación haciendo de las suyas. Muchas de las ideas sobre el peso de la información surgen de esa época. La oposición hacía su propia historia, y al mismo tiempo acusaba al irigoyenismo de hacer la suya cuando bromeaban sobre “el diario de Irigoyen”. Dos lados del mostrador, dos formas de ver la realidad. La historia se desliza sobre esa dicotomía que ahora se reinventó con el nombre de “la grieta”. Dos lados: el de los movimientos populares y el de las clases ricas y dominantes, y en el medio, la grieta. El fiscal Marijuán le dice a un periodista que le diga a otro “decile que lo más importante, además del pedido de indagatoria, es que la dejo al borde de la detención, con la prohibición de salir del país.” Cada cosa que ha hecho Marijuán, como allanamientos al cuete y agujeros en la Patagonia, está en línea con la frase que escribió Jauretche hace más de ochenta años.

    Otro colgó un videíto casero: la gobernadora María Eugenia Vidal de visita en un barrio con calles de tierra. Un vecino joven la increpa: “¿por qué le saca el laburo a los pibes?”. Sobresalto de la gobernadora que cambia el rumbo y acierta a largar una frase: “estás mal informado”. La gobernadora pone pies en polvorosa, se borra. Insólito: un custodio se acerca al pibe que habló y se corre el saco para mostrarle la pistola: “¿tenés algún problema?” El pibe recula y dice que no. “Bueno, entonces decime los nombres de los que tienen problemas y vemos si se lo arreglamos”. Sigue con el saco corrido, mostrando la pistola en el cinto. No hay forma de que solucione nada a nadie.

    Las redes son a veces inciertas y poco confiables, a veces orientadoras y a veces lo contrario. Esta semana se informó que la desocupación había subido a 9,3 por ciento. Pegó un salto importante, cientos de miles de trabajadores en la calle. El pibe no leyó las encuestas. No se sabe si es kirchnerista o no, probablemente lo sea. Pero dice la verdad. Lo que hace Marijuán en el párrafo de arriba es para facilitar esto que se cuenta más abajo, como lo hacían 80 años atrás Crítica y La Nación y hasta la Corte que convalidó el golpe que derrocó a Irigoyen. La grieta es la grieta y cada quien sabe lo que hace y del lado que se pone.

    Es más, cuando se empieza a leer el párrafo de Jauretche, se puede pensar que lo escribió tras la caída del gobierno de Perón en el 55. El cuadro es el mismo, las denuncias parecidas. Pero no, Jauretche es un radical en ese momento, que escribe sobre el movimiento al que pertenece.

    A veces los itinerarios que la realidad virtual diseña en las redes se entrecruzan en el mapa de trazos más gruesos de la realidad. No es matemático ni mucho menos infalible, pero a veces se da. La nueva denuncia de Marijuán se asienta en una denuncia de la guerra propagandística que hicieron los fondos buitre durante el conflicto con el anterior gobierno y la confesión telefónica del fiscal de que su objetivo es sacar de la política a Cristina Kirchner, confirma que tiene la misma meta que los fondos. Son espacios que configuran intereses comunes, algunos de poder, otros de ganancias materiales: los fondos buitre, el periodista que fue financiado por ellos, el fiscal que hace efectiva la denuncia política en la justicia y el gobierno que le pagó a los fondos buitre sin negociar y que es alabado permanentemente por Paul Singer.

    Del otro lado pasan cosas. Indicios del freno de la ofensiva gubernamental: la unificación de la CGT dejó fuera a los sectores enrolados con el gobierno; la dura condena a los represores de La Perla en Córdoba; el fallo de la Corte contra el tarifazo; el penoso fracaso de la convocatoria del jueves en el obelisco para respaldar a Mauricio Macri; el recomienzo ayer de la Marcha de la Resistencia de las Madres y el movimiento de derechos humanos; la reedición en los primeros días de septiembre de la Marcha Federal de la CTA con los gremios combativos de la CGT y los movimientos sociales. Todos esos indicios crecen cuando se desploman los índices de la economía, derrumbados por las medidas del gobierno. Se va armando el paquete del otro lado de la grieta. Son contornos de un nuevo colectivo que se forja a partir de la nueva agenda que va creando la destrucción de la economía popular.

    El macrismo logró que la caída de la economía, del 4,3 por ciento, se pusiera al nivel del desastre de Brasil. En las grandes ciudades como Rosario, Mar del Plata y Córdoba el desempleo superó el 11,5 por ciento lo que implica un retroceso de diez años. Se perdieron todos los empleos que se habían recuperado en los últimos diez años. Los esfuerzos de los medios que respaldan al gobierno para ocultar el desmantelamiento cada vez rinden menos. Clarín publicó en su tapa la foto de los represores condenados en Córdoba debajo de un título muy forzado sobre la responsabilidad del kirchnerismo en la protesta social. Priorizó un tema editorializado y fantásmático por sobre la condena a los represores de La Perla, un juicio con una trascendencia equiparable a la de la ESMA por su importancia simbólica. Pero Clarín se equivoca. En política se rinde examen todos los días. El kirchnerismo o cualquier otra fuerza política deberá mostrar si es capaz de orientar todos esos frentes abiertos de protesta, cada uno con su propia dinámica, diferente a las demás.

    Clarín trata de tapar que la protesta no tiene origen político. Las condenas en Córdoba mostraron que la ofensiva judicial tuvo un tope. Nadie les ordenó a los macristas que no vayan a apoyar a Macri al obelisco. Las protestas contra las tarifas son espontáneas y más o menos contenidas por organismos de defensa del consumidor y otros. Ni siquiera puede decirse que hayan sido movilizados por los movimientos sociales porque las protestas se produjeron en barrios de clases medias. Las decisiones en la CGT, incluyendo el paro nacional que se prepara, no las ordenó el kirchnerismo. Y el origen de la Marcha Federal habría que buscarlo más en los índices de desocupación y la pérdida de calidad de vida que en el color político de los que participarán.

    Si la protesta no tiene origen político –al revés de lo que se esfuerza en demostrar Clarín–, entonces quedaría claro que se incubaron en el salvajismo de las estrategias económicas oficiales que se han aplicado con una sorprendente ausencia de sensibilidad social o política. Muchos de los protagonistas en algunas de esas protestas, como las que se hicieron contra el tarifazo o la de los productores de fruta en Plaza de Mayo entre otras, han sido votantes enojados de Cambiemos.

    Ninguna fuerza política, incluida el kirchnerismo, está en condiciones de convocar por sí sola a todas esas manifestaciones contra el gobierno. Pero el que consiga expresar con mayor eficiencia esa nueva agenda de reclamos que se está conformando desde la base de la sociedad, se convertirá en la cabeza de esta nueva oposición.

    Lt. Col. Bree “B” Fram left a doctor’s office on April 2. Presenting that day as Bryan, the name given to them at birth, B should have been relieved.

    “Overall, it’s a good thing,” said B. “It just didn’t feel great to have to do it on someone else’s timeline other than my own.”

    “It” was an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria. As a transgender member of the military, B had to secure the diagnosis by April 12 in order to continue serving openly.

    That’s when the Trump administration’s new policy on transgender military service takes effect. It effectively bans transgender people from joining the military. The more than 14,000 already serving will be allowed to do so openly, so long as they have that formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria filed by the deadline. If not, they must serve under the gender assigned them at birth – or leave the armed forces.

    President Trump first announced the ban in July 2017.

    B, who is in the Air Force, met that deadline when a civilian doctor in Ithaca, New York secured their diagnosis. But B’s personal journey of identity — shared with their wife Peg — is far from finished.

    “I realize that I’m scared,” Peg said. “It’s accelerated everything so quickly…all of a sudden, we’re being forced to make this choice that I don’t think we were quite at yet.”

    The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines gender dysphoria as “a difference between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender, and significant distress or problems functioning.”

    B says that language, specifically the term “distressed,” was a major disincentive in deciding whether to get the diagnosis — that the idea of having such a medical designation in their employment file is painful, especially when being transgender has never affected their job performance.

    And for Peg, making the diagnosis official at this point was unwelcome. She just wasn’t ready.

    “I have my own journey to deal with,” she says. “I met Bryan. I fell in love with Bryan. I married Bryan. We had kids. We moved on. Bree has come into our lives but it’s almost like bringing a new person in. It challenges everything from my sexuality to my femininity. And that is a hard thing for me to deal with on a daily basis, let alone have someone come up to me and say ‘deal with it faster.’ “

    Not that Peg isn’t grateful that the diagnosis came through, mere days before the deadline. She remembers what it was like to live what she calls an “edited life” before the Obama administration announced it would allow transgender people in the military in 2016.

    They have two kids, six and ten, who see their dad’s gender identity as “business as usual.” But Peg says the family spent years hiding B’s gender dysphoria, afraid it would destroy their military career.

    B remembers, too — and doesn’t want transgender troops who missed the deadline, current and future, to go through that. A week after the doctor’s appointment, the Fram family traveled to Washington so B could meet with members of Congress and talk about the Trump administration’s ban. B told lawmakers how much harder it is to serve when forced to stay in the closet…or, in the case of those who don’t get the diagnosis in time, forced back into the closet.

    In contrast, when allowed to serve openly, B says:

    “You don’t have to have this filter in your brain that has to sit between your thoughts and the words or actions that come out of you…you can reach your full potential.”

    So why not take that potential elsewhere? Leave the military for a job where the policy doesn’t affect B and their family?

    “I have so much invested in the military,” says B. “The reasons why I joined haven’t changed…I joined right after September 11th. That had a profound impact on me and my ability to give back,” adding that the military is where they found purpose.

    That’s what’s at stake for the service members who didn’t manage to get a diagnosis in time. B works with SPART*A, an organization that represents active duty transgender service members. The group was working with several people trying to file their paperwork up until the last minute.

    Delays took many forms, particularly for those serving remotely where military doctors are not available. Even if a soldier gets a diagnosis from a civilian doctor, the paperwork needs a signature from a military medical professional.

    And that paperwork itself raises other concerns for the Frams. Having lived through several policy changes as a military spouse, Peg is wary of how the documentation of B’s gender dysphoria might be used in the future.

    “It opened up another avenue of fear for me,” says Peg. “Now that they’ve been forced to go into this box, it’s easier to call them out later.”

    “The fear is always that this is the tip of the iceberg,” says B, believing the current policy is already a social step backward. “What comes next?”

    Updated at 1:15 p.m. ET

    The number of U.S. service members diagnosed with traumatic brain injury after Iranian missile attacks earlier this month has risen to 50 — up from the 34 reported last week. The Pentagon announced the increase Tuesday evening and said 32 of those 50 service members have already received treatment and returned to duty in Iraq.

    The remaining 18 were sent to Germany for further evaluation.

    “The department is committed to delivering programs and services intended to lead to the best possible outcomes for our service members who suffer any injury,” Lt. Col. Thomas Campbell, a Pentagon spokesperson, said in a statement. “As stated previously, this is a snapshot in time and numbers can change.”

    The uptick in reported injuries comes about three weeks after the Iranian attack, which targeted at least two Iraqi military bases housing U.S. personnel. The attack, itself a reprisal for the U.S. killing of a prominent Iranian commander, destroyed swaths of at least one of those bases — Ain al-Asad air base, northwest of Baghdad. No U.S. or Iraqi service members were killed.

    In fact, hours after the attack, President Trump announced that “no Americans were harmed.”

    “All of our soldiers are safe,” he said during an address at the White House, “and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases.”

    That declaration turned out to be inaccurate.

    The next week, a military spokesman noted that “several” people were treated for concussions. The number of injured service members later jumped to 11 in a Pentagon statement, and then to 34 in another statement issued last week.

    “A lot of these symptoms are late-developing. They manifest over time,” Defense Department spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman said at a news conference.

    He added that some service members “saw their conditions improve rapidly. And then others, we saw, their conditions didn’t improve. Some got worse. And some had severe enough symptoms that they were transported on for further treatment.”

    Trump has made additional comments that are contradicted by defense officials and numbers. In remarks last week, during a news conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the president downplayed the service members’ injuries as “headaches.”

    “No, I don’t consider them very serious injuries, relative to other injuries that I’ve seen,” the president told reporters, comparing them to what he considers to be “really bad injuries” — the effects of roadside bombs. “I’ve seen people with no legs and with no arms. I’ve seen people that were horribly, horribly injured in that area.”

    That assessment belies a shift in recent years in the way military doctors and scientists, as well as in Trump’s own administration, view traumatic brain injury and its effects. Researchers at the Department of Veterans Affairs have linked TBI with long-term changes to brain function that might result in faster aging, difficulties communicating and problems with coordination.

    The VA says more than 408,000 TBIs have been reported among U.S. service members between 2000 and early 2019. In the wake of the Pentagon’s initial announcement last week, the Veterans of Foreign Wars requested an apology from the president.

    “TBI is a serious injury and one that cannot be taken lightly,” William “Doc” Schmitz, national commander of the nonprofit veterans service organization, said in a statement last Friday. “TBI is known to cause depression, memory loss, severe headaches, dizziness and fatigue — all injuries that come with both short- and long-term effects.”

    The White House has not commented publicly on the latest Pentagon numbers.

    U.S. troops based at an oil field in northeastern Syria came under rocket attack Monday, one day after U.S. jets launched airstrikes on facilities used by Iranian-backed militias in the Iraq-Syria border region.

    There are no injuries and damage is being assessed. “We will provide updates when we have more information,” Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Colonel Wayne Marotto tweeted Monday afternoon.

    U.S. forces used artillery to return fire at the positions from which the rockets were launched. 

    It was not immediately clear the specific source of the attacks against U.S. forces in Syria. 

    The rocket attack comes after U.S. airstrikes against facilities used by Iranian-backed militias.. 

    The U.S. “Defensive precision airstrikes” targeted facilities used by militia groups like Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS), according to the Defense Department. 

    The facilities targeted by the U.S. are engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle or drone attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, the Defense Department said in a statement. 

    A U.S. official said the locations that were hit included the site from which the drones took off, recovered and were controlled. 

    The official also said there have been “at least five” drone attacks by Iranian-backed militias against bases in Iraq where U.S. troops, contractors or other personnel are located.

    President Biden and members of his Cabinet on Monday cited Article II of the constitution that  allows the president to take action to defend U.S. personnel as the authority for conducting the strikes. 

    “And I directed last night’s airstrikes targeting sites used by the Iranian-backed militia groups responsible for recent attacks on the US personnel in Iraq, and I had that authority under Article 2,” Mr. Biden told reporters. “And even those up on the Hill who are reluctant to acknowledge that have acknowledged that’s the case.” 

    The decision to strike comes as Congress debates whether to reign in presidential war power authority and whether to repeal both the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations of Use of Military Force in Iraq. 

    The House voted to repeal the 2002 AUMF in Iraq earlier this month, and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is expected to debate repealing both authorizations. 

    Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia —  who has led the effort to repeal the AUMFs —  told reporters earlier this month that although the House bill didn’t include the 1991 authorization, the House and Senate could meet in conference to craft acceptable legislation.

    El movimiento sísmico de 5.1 grados tuvo su epicentro a 7 kilómetros de Paruro.








    Ocho fallecidos (cuatro de ellos menores de edad) y cinco personas heridas dejó el sismo de 5.1 grados en la escala de Richter que se registró la noche del sábado en la provincia de Paruro, Departamento del Cusco, informó el Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP).

    Las autoridades locales de Defensa Civil confirmaron que esta cifra se presentan en la localidad de Misca, ubicado a media hora de la capital de la provincia, donde también se reportaron cuatro desaparecidos, 60 viviendas afectadas y unos 300 damnificados .

    Hasta el momento, 150 pobladores de la localidad de Misca se han ubicado en el campo de fútbol, en la parte alta, como medida de protección.

    El corresponsal de RPP Noticias, quien llegó hasta esta zona, ha informado que el número de viviendas afectadas es de 80 y que escasean los alimentos, incluso no hay carpas para pernoctar esta noche.

    El responsable del Instituto de Defensa Civil del Cusco, Carlos Castro, indicó que la poca profundidad del movimiento sísmico (8 kilómetros) ocasionó estos graves daños a pesar de no tener el sismo una gran magnitud.   

    Viviendas destruidas

    El representante de Defensa Civil en la zona, Gustavo Infantas, manifestó que están a la espera de ayuda humanitaria. Por otro lado, indicó que de acuerdo a la verificación preliminar se declarará la zona en emergencia, por lo que se espera la emisión del decreto supremo y su publicación.

    Los datos de 87 millones de mexicanos se filtraron en Internet.

    Se trata de una filtración que ha generado alarma sobre cuán vulnerable es la privacidad en la red.

    Una enorme base de datos de los registros de votantes mexicanos se publicó en internet hace unos días.

    En ese listado había nombres, direcciones, fechas de nacimiento y números de identificación de 87 millones de votantes mexicanos.

    Detrás de ese hallazgo está Chris Vickery, un investigador de seguridad de la empresa de software MacKeeper.

    Base de datos de votantes

    Vickery se encontró con los datos cuando navegaba a través de bases de datos inseguras con una herramienta de seguridad llamada Shodan.

    Chris Vickery encontró la base de datos con la información de 87 millones de mexicanos con una herramienta de búsqueda en internet.

    “Cuando abrí la base de datos, en mi pantalla vi nombres, direcciones y números de identificación. Empecé a buscar en Google para ver de dónde eran”, dijo Vickery a la BBC.

    “Todas las direcciones resultaron ser de México. Y pensé: ‘Esta es una base de datos de votantes‘”.

    Vickery descubrió la filtración el 14 de abril, y contó que inicialmente tuvo problemas para contactar a las autoridades mexicanas para advertirles de lo que había descubierto.

    Después de mencionar este episodio en una charla en la Universidad de Harvard, en Estados Unidos, la semana pasada, un mexicano que se encontraba entre el público ayudó a autenticar los datos.

    “Pudo corroborar la información de su padre en la base de datos y dijo ‘Oh, Dios mío, esa es mi dirección, allí está todo‘”, explicó Vickery.

    Un periodista, también presente en la charla, ayudó a Vickery a informar de la filtración al Instituto Nacional Electoral de México (INE), que organiza los comicios en el país.

    La base de datos estaba alojada en un servidor de Amazon.

    El INE emitió un comunicado reconociendo que esos datos correspondían al electorado mexicano.

    “Una copia del registro electoral se encontró en un sitio de almacenamiento de archivos de la empresa estadounidense Amazon”, dice la nota.

    “Una investigación interna se puso en marcha y el caso se reportó al fiscal especial para delitos electorales”.

    Una vez que las autoridades fueron notificadas, se tomaron medidas para eliminar la información de los servidores de Amazon el 22 de abril.

    En un comunicado, Amazon especificó que “las redes de seguridad seguían funcionando”, que se notificó de una base de datos insegura con información sensible alojada en uno de sus servidores y que esos datos ya no estaban disponibles.

    Vickery dijo que ya fue invitado por México a visitar el país y que pensaba aceptar si su mujer se unía a él en el viaje.

    “La embajada me dijo que estaba en la portada de los periódicos importantes de México, el sábado. Quiero tener uno de esos diarios”.

    Registros electorales

    Recientemente, datos de 70 millones de votantes en las Filipinas también se filtraron en internet.

    Los estafadores están al acecho de la filtración de datos.

    Y en diciembre del año pasado, el mismo Vickery encontró la información de 191 millones de votantes estadounidenses en una base de datos se publicó en la red.

    Al hablar sobre los peligros de que este tipo de información se haga pública, Vickery dijo que a veces pueden ser utilizados por estafadores.

    “Llaman a la gente mayor y les dicen que tienen un virus”, explica.

    Los estafadores luego dan las instrucciones a las víctimas e instalan en sus equipos programas maliciosos.

    “Es un gran problema”, opinó el investigador.

    Y en México en particular, dijo -donde hasta 100.000 personas son secuestradas cada año-, los datos sobre los domicilios de las personas podrían ser considerados especialmente sensibles.

    Alex Cruz Farmer de la compañía de seguridad NSFocus IB dijo: “Esto es una violación significativa y lo que lo hace peor es que los datos se filtraron fuera de México”.

    “Como Vickery planteó con razón, la preocupación sobre para qué podrían ser utilizados los datos es muy alarmante”, agregó.

    Joe Rogan confronted CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta over his network’s claims that the podcast host took “horse dewormer” as a COVID treatment. 

    On Wednesday’s installment of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan grilled the doctor on why someone like him who already had COVID and has antibodies should get vaccinated. 

    “By the way, I’m glad you’re better,” Gupta said. 

    “Thank you,” Rogan responded. “You’re probably the only one at CNN who’s glad… The rest of them are all lying about me taking horse medication.”

    JOE ROGAN BLASTS MEDIA LIES ABOUT HIS COVID TREATMENT: ‘DO I HAVE TO SUE CNN?’

    “That bothered you,” Gupta grinned. 

    “It should bother you too,” Rogan shot back. “They’re lying at your network about people taking human drugs versus drugs for veterinary.”

    “Calling it a ‘horse dewormer’ is not the most flattering thing, I get that,” Gupta conceded. 

    “It’s a lie,” Rogan pushed back. “It’s a lie on a news network… and it’s a lie that they’re conscious of. It’s not a mistake. They’re unfavorably framing it as veterinary medicine.”

    (Getty Images)

    Gupta pointed to the “snarky” statement released by the FDA saying “You are not a horse. You are not a cow,” in order to encourage people to not take ivermectin, but Rogan remained persistent on calling out CNN’s coverage of a drug that’s been “given out to billions and billions of people” and resulted in a Nobel Prize.

    “Why would they lie and say that’s horse dewormer?” Rogan asked. “I can afford people medicine motherf—er. It’s ridiculous! It’s just a lie! Don’t you think that a lie like that is dangerous on a news network when you know that they know they’re lying?… Do you think that that’s a problem that your news network lies?”

    “What did they say?” Gupta asked. 

    The podcast host first told Gupta that his ivermectin was “prescribed to me by a doctor,” forcing the CNN correspondent to say the drug “shouldn’t be called” horse dewormer. 

    JOE ROGAN TORCHES CNN’S BRIAN STELTER: ‘HEY MOTHERF—ER, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE A JOURNALIST’

    “Does it bother you that the network you work for out and out lied, just outright lied about me taking horse dewormer,” Rogan grilled Gupta. 

    “They shouldn’t have said that,” Gupta admitted. 

    “Why did they do that?” Rogan asked. 

    “I don’t know,” Gupta responded. 

    “You didn’t ask? You’re the medical guy over there!” Rogan exclaimed. 

    “I didn’t ask,” Gupta said. “I should’ve asked before coming on this podcast.”

    Gupta denied Rogan’s claim that CNN made the claims with “such glee” before playing a clip of “OutFront” anchor Erin Burnett calling ivermectin a “livestock drug.” 

    “I don’t think Erin had glee,” Gupta reacted.

    “Well, it’s more Brian Stelter who was the gleeful one,” Rogan replied, referring to CNN’s leftwing media guru. “The point is that’s a lie.”

    “It can be used for humans! I get it,” an uncomfortable Gupta exclaimed. 

    “Not just could be used for humans- is often used for humans along with all the other drugs that I took. All human drugs,” the podcast host said. “They know it’s a human drug and they lied. It’s defamatory.”

    “Yeah, they shouldn’t have done that,” Gupta reiterated. “I don’t know if it’s defamatory.”

    “I bet it is,” Rogan asserted. “It’s a lie.”

    Rogan went on to knock CNN for not reporting how he tested negative “five days later” and “felt great” following his treatment. 

    “My point is you’re working for a news organization. If they’re lying about a comedian taking horse medication, what are they telling us about Russia? What are they telling us about Syria? Do you understand that that’s why people get concerned about the veracity of the news?” Rogan pressed Gupta before the CNN correspondent, again, conceded he did not take a horse dewormer.
