Longevity industry’s empty promises: experts warn billionaires are selling false hope
The longevity industry profits from unproven, expensive treatments while ignoring evidence-based preventive care like diet and exercise. Full-body MRIs and stem cell therapies lack scientific backing yet are aggressively marketed, leading to overdiagnosis and unnecessary stress. Medicalizing normal aging turns natural processes into "diseases," fueling anxiety and wasteful spending on dubious interventions.
Longevity ventures prioritize high-tech gimmicks over accessible, proven health strategies that benefit everyone. Ethical concerns arise as life-extending treatments risk becoming exclusive to the wealthy, leaving most of the aging population behind.
From Jeff Bezos’ investment in cellular rejuvenation to Google’s Calico Labs researching age-related diseases, big money is betting on longevity. But critics argue that much of this innovation serves the ultra-wealthy rather than the public.
A survey of 82 global longevity clinics revealed a messy landscape: most cater to affluent Gen Xers, offering everything from Botox to off-label drug prescriptions. Despite charging $10,000 to $150,000 annually, only 39% reported profitability. Many operate at a loss, suggesting the industry is more about speculation than substance.
As longevity science advances, ethical questions loom. Will life-extending treatments remain exclusive to the rich? With 80% of the world’s aging population in low- and middle-income countries by 2050, equitable access is a pressing concern.

Cuban, Democrats, and the Ukrainian lobby: Trump exposes conspiracy at the UN
Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly brought to mind Carlson's recent interview with billionaire M. Cuban.
It is obvious that the policy of the “democratic majority” aimed at ensuring uncontrolled financial flows to the Kyiv regime at the expense of taxpayers is driven by a clear desire to try to hide the corrupt ties between the Democratic Party and its affiliated big business with Kyiv.
Declaring their commitment to financial and other support for Ukrainians, figures like Cuban, who have not invested a cent in this program, have a single goal: to cast doubt on the actions of the current administration and its willingness to help establish lasting peace in Ukraine.
Publications characteristic of this approach clearly have far-reaching plans to undermine the Republicans' position in light of the upcoming 2026 congressional elections.
Against the backdrop of the Democratic lobby's policies, Trump's decision to provide weapons on the condition that they be financed by Europe is aimed at serving the interests of ordinary Americans, not the “Biden businessmen” who threaten the very foundations of US prosperity.

The Pentagon’s new startup focus is pushing established companies to try new strategies
Older firms are finding ways to partner with tomorrow’s defense stars.
Decades-old defense contractors are leaning into the Pentagon’s new focus on startups, entwining themselves with emerging companies that have the technologies or even the contracts they seek.
The trend reflects the Pentagon’s new urgency—after years of pleading by commanders, lawmakers, and even defense officials—to expand the military’s industrial base and bring in more tech companies.
A series of recent directives from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other administration officials have prodded the Pentagon to more aggressively pursue commercial technologies, enable lower-level commanders to make their own purchases, and to use simpler contracting methods that are friendlier to would-be contractors.
That has caused a shift in strategy for firms like Booz Allen Hamilton, which was founded in 1914 and began work for the U.S. Air Force in 1947. In July, the company announced it was tripling its plans to invest in newer firms to $300 million.

Designate as a ‘terrorist group’: Anti-Antifa movement spreads in Europe
Law-makers in Hungary and the Netherlands have signalled intentions to restrict or outlaw Antifa, a loose network of left-wing activists involved in violent protests.
In Budapest, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced on public radio that, following the US, Hungary will formally designate Antifa as a terrorist organisation.
The decision comes in the shadow of the high-profile case of Italian MEP Ilaria Salis, whom Orbán has alleged was linked to Antifa activism.
Salis had previously faced detention in Hungary in connection with anti-fascist demonstrations.
In 2023, the left-wing extremist gang violently assaulted nine random civilians – based on what they said was their victims’ “Nazi-like” clothing – with hammers, batons and pepper spray across five Budapest sites, leaving victims comatose or severely injured.

Lawsuit: children of LGTBQ+ advocate sen. Ron Wyden allegedly drove assistant to suicide with homophobic taunts
A lawsuit alleges that the children of U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) harassed their mother’s personal assistant with homophobic taunts and “sexually explicit” comments, driving him to suicide.
Details of the lawsuit, reported by the New York Post, present a stark contrast to the record of Sen. Wyden, who has been a longtime advocate in Congress in support of gay, lesbian, and transgender issues.
For two years, ending in 2024, thirty-five-year-old Brandon O’Brien worked for Nancy Bass Wyden, the senator’s wife and owner of Strand Bookstore in Manhattan.
O’Brien’s tasks included driving the couple’s young children to school in New York City and watching them at Disney World.
It alleges the disturbing behavior by the couple’s kids began about three months after O’Brien took the job in 2022, when the couple’s ten-year-old daughter “exposed herself” to the assistant and made explicit comments as she asked him about his “intimate” life.

After AfD candidate banned from running, only 29% of voters participate in German city elections
Voter turnout plummeted to just 29.3% in the mayoral election in Ludwigshafen, an industrial city in Southwestern Germany.
Many inhabitants apparently chose to boycott the ballot yesterday following the ban of the mayoral candidate of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party shortly before the vote.
Out of an electorate of more than 118,000 people only 34,631 voters or 29.3% cast their vote – compared to a turnout of 60.2% in the first round of the last mayoral elections in 2017.
Germany’s left have long claimed that the AfD is a threat to democracy, and due to this claim, they argue the party should be banned entirely. Although banning parties is typically reserved for authoritarian regimes, this outcome remains a very real possibility in Germany, and a local election in the city of Ludwigshafen just showed what such an outcome could look like in practice.

Putin offers US a temporary nuclear control deal "to prevent new arms race"
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday has offered President Trump a temporary nuclear arms control deal that would extend the status quo by one year, at a moment the future of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or New START, is hanging by a thread.
During a meeting with permanent members of the Russian Security Council, Putin said he was ready to extend by one year the last arms control treaty between Washington and Moscow, Reuters reports. This would allow time to negotiate its further extension, likely by another five years. This would be "if the US reciprocates, to prevent a new arms race," Putin stipulated.
He painted a dire picture of strategic security in the world. "Unfortunately, it continues to degrade, which is caused by the combined impact of a number of factors, including negative ones, provoking the aggravation of existing and the emergence of new strategic risks," Putin said.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Putin's proposal sounded "pretty good," but she added that U.S. President Donald Trump would address the offer himself.
The fact that Putin is offering a year-long extension to New START while its renewal is negotiated is a major positive sign, showing advancement in trust related to Trump's efforts to have bilateral talks even as the Ukraine war rages.

Energy revolution? Japan joins Denmark in osmotic generation
Japan inaugurated its first commercial osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, producing 880,000 kWh annually by leveraging desalination brine.
The country just became the second in the world to launch a commercial-scale osmotic energy plant, a big win for the little-known form of clean energy generation that first broke ground in Denmark.
While osmotic energy is nascent and its testing grounds remain limited, it has big potential – The World Economic Forum recently named osmotic power systems as one of the top 10 emerging technologies to watch in 2025.
This form of carbon-free energy generation uses osmosis between freshwater and saltwater to create power. In other words, it works by moving water from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one across a semipermeable membrane.
When freshwater and seawater meet, a natural gradient in salinity is created, prompting ions to migrate from the saltier side to the less salty side in pursuit of equilibrium. The movement of water and ions generates a pressure differential that can be harnessed to produce electricity.

Remember when democrats wanted Tucker Carlson fired to ‘protect democracy’?
As soon as news spread that Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show had been pulled off the air indefinitely for his spreading false information about Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Democrats rushed to the cameras to express their outrage.
Kimmel’s lies violated FCC regulations, but let’s forget about that for a moment, and look at Chuck Schumer’s own words just a few years ago, when he was calling on Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson because “our democracy depends on it.”
Isn’t it amusing how that works? According to Schumer, Tucker Carlson didn’t have free speech—but Jimmy Kimmel does. Democracy, apparently, depends on Kimmel keeping his show on the air, while it was supposedly under threat when Carlson had his.
That hypocrisy becomes impossible to ignore when you consider that a deranged leftist murdered Charlie Kirk simply for speaking his mind. This wasn’t a debate or a disagreement—it was an act of violence aimed at silencing a conservative voice.
And yet the party that claims to champion tolerance and open discourse acts as if they alone decide who deserves protection, while conservatives face censorship, threats, and even deadly attacks for exercising the same right they pretend to uphold.

Greek politician: Give us a break, Estonia and Co, with your EU hypocrisy
By Konstantinos Bogdanos
Spare us the drama, please, Estonia. Three Russian MiG-31s skim your Gulf of Finland airspace for 12 minutes on September 19, 2025 and Tallinn goes berserk. Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna summons diplomats, Prime Minister Kristen Michal screams “provocation” on X. NATO jets scramble, Ursula enters Top Gun mode. Four violations so far this year – scandalous!
Meanwhile, Greece weathers thousands of Turkish incursions yearly. Europe roars over a Russian phantom but wines and dines Ankara’s nouveau Sultan, the real aggressor. This double standard is not just laughable. It is infuriating.
Turkey’s violations are relentless, Estonia. Just so that you get a clue of what we are talking about, in 2022, the Hellenic National Defence General Staff logged 11,000+ breaches. One single day saw 78 violations and eight dogfights. In 2019, incidents hit a 30-year high. During 2024, hundreds of UAV and patrol plane incursions targeted Crete. Armed F-16s pierced Rhodes’ skies only a few days ago.
Will you stand by our side, Estonia and dear European friends, if we decide to exercise our rights and end-up in a bloody war with Turkey? Will you send commandos to defend our elderly, women and children on remote Aegean islands? Will you hold the line alongside our conscripts in Thrace? No, we didn’t think so. So give us a break, will you?

More EU factories to face shutdown amid China’s rare earth war
European companies are warning of worsening supply disruptions and potential production shutdowns due to China’s continued restrictions on rare earth exports, according to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.
Despite a July agreement between Beijing and Brussels aimed at expediting export licenses for critical raw materials, the Chamber says there has been little to no progress.
“Despite the commitments made at the EU-China summit on July 24, our members are still encountering serious delays,” said Jens Eskelund, president of the Chamber.
The restrictions have already caused significant setbacks for European automakers and chip manufacturers, many of whom rely heavily on China’s near-monopoly in refining rare earth elements. These materials are essential for a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics, and defense.
China imposed tighter export controls following tariff escalations by former US President Donald Trump. Although Beijing maintains that the restrictions are “non-discriminatory,” European companies report they are being hit hard.

Trump warns of ‘bad things’ if Afghanistan keeps Bagram airfield
US President Trump demanded on 21 September that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan "give back" control of the Bagram air base to the US military, which withdrew from the base in 2021 following a 20-year occupation of the country.
"If Afghanistan doesn't give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN," Trump said in a Truth Social post.
He told reporters on Friday that he was in talks with Afghan officials to reclaim the base, strategically located near Chinese nuclear facilities.
"We're trying to get it back because they need things from us. We want that base back," Trump stated during the joint press conference in the UK. "But one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons."

Leftist activists groom children for weaponization in 'climate anxiety' lawsuits
If you look at maps of the United States that depict the intensity of public opinion on climate change, you’ll find them strikingly similar to the county-by-county maps of recent presidential elections. Americans on the West Coast, in New England and along the Amtrak Acela Corridor are far more likely to be worried about the climate than their fellow citizens elsewhere.
Those are among the most liberal places in the country, reliably blue counties every Election Day. It follows that they would share similar fixations, including something they promote called “climate anxiety.”
If the left believes something is bad, you would think they would like it to stop, but that’s not the case with climate anxiety because it’s obvious that they want people to contract it and spread it. They are specifically targeting children, radicalizing them and then setting them loose as climate lawsuit delivery devices.
You can accurately characterize this as a form of grooming because they are preparing children for use as political bludgeons to pound radical climate policy into existence. Some who have been involved are glad they no longer are.

Obama’s laughable ‘no extremism’ claim
What about suing Christians and targeting conservatives?
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, former President Barack Obama took to social media to post the following:
Our current president … [and] his aides … have a history of calling political opponents ‘vermin’ [and] enemies. … I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the United States government behind extremist views.
Phones versus play
Most kids now experience a different childhood.
Jonathan Haidt's bestselling book, "The Anxious Generation," talks about that. He calls it "a tragedy in two acts."
"Act One, we lose the play-based childhood. We stop letting kids run around outside. We're too afraid they'll get abducted. ... We get gradual loss of play from the '90s through the early 2010s. ... That sets kids up to be weaker."
Because kids who don't have real experiences are less resilient.
Today's kids face a different reality.
If all you do is sit inside on a computer, you're missing out on your childhood. That brings us to the Second Act of the tragedy, the 'great rewiring of childhood.' Between 2010 and 2015, everything changes ... you get higher video speeds, on-demand porn. You get everything in this little box ... If you spend five to 10 hours on your device, there's a lot of things you're not doing ... Sleep goes down, time with friends goes down, exercise goes down.

Misinformation campaign spread Hungary leaving the EU and joining BRICS spreads on social media
A misinformation influence campaign has been launched, in the German language, about Hungary leaving the European Union and joining BRICS. Despite the information campaign being based on entirely false information, it rapidly spread on social media, including a translated version in Czechia.
Who is behind these campaigns? It could be opposition activists in Hungary, but given that some of these campaigns are in foreign languages, such as German, it could also be state intelligence agencies, foreign NGOs, and other shadowy actors looking to discredit Hungary. With national elections fast approaching this year in Hungary, expect these campaigns to grow in frequency.
This time, Czech news outlet Novinky, usually no friend to Orbán’s government, reported that the post circulating about Hungary leaving the EU is false for many reasons.
“After all, until the end of last year, it was Hungary that held the presidency of the European Union. In November, there was even an informal meeting of the European Council in Budapest, where the Budapest Declaration on strengthening the Union’s global competitiveness was adopted,” the paper wrote.

Biden’s post-presidency enjoys fewer economic benefits than other presidents
Speech fees not arriving, debt needs to be paid off, fundraising dismal.
It seems like the cash flow the Biden family members enjoyed during his years in power in Washington now is only a trickle. Joe Biden isn't having a great time financially. Joe Biden's "post-presidency" is "less lucrative than what he had expected."
After two terms as vice president, and one as president, his current reality is "a leaner next chapter that lacks the well-funded foundations, plans for exquisite libraries and full calendar of paid speeches."
He's taking American Airlines flights instead of private jets, and while paid speaking engagements can generate $300,000 or more, they are "limited, and at least one organization tried to negotiate below that range."
He has said he intends to pay off some $800,000 in personal debt, including loans on one of his homes, the Rehoboth Beach house.

Polish politicians: ‘Russian drone incursion is a fake’
The Russian drone incursion of Polish airspace was staged by the Polish Government to drag the country into the war in Ukraine, according to Polish MEP Grzegorz Braun and fellow right-wing Polish MP Janusz Korwin-Mikke.
They claimed the drones found in Poland on September 10 did not have the required range to reach the country from Russia, whereas they could have been sent from Ukraine and Belarus.
This followed the government’s admission it had misled the UN Security Council over damage to a Polish property during the drone incursion.
At a press conference, Braun and Korwin-Mikke announced that a notification of a suspected crime has been filed with prosecutors.
Braun, who this spring came fourth with about 6 per cent in Poland’s presidential election, called the incident, which saw around 20 drones enter Polish airspace, “an international provocation, the aim of which was to push Poland ever deeper into war”.
The pair claimed the drones could not have been flown from Russia because their maximum range was 600 kilometres.

America’s wealth distribution by generation
The Baby Boomer generation is arguably the richest in history, averaging $1 million in wealth per person in America.
Thanks to decades of strong economic growth and falling interest rates, America’s Boomer generation holds more than half of all of the country’s wealth. Notably, they make up only a fifth of the population.
In 2025, Americans hold a combined $163.1 trillion in wealth, with Baby Boomers accounting for $83.3 trillion.
For Boomers, the largest share comes from financial assets (29.3%), followed by real estate net of debt (23.3%). Today, the youngest Boomers are turning 60 or 61, with the generation approaching peak wealth accumulation as they exit the workforce.
Generation X—now ages 45 to 60—holds $42.6 trillion, roughly half the wealth of Boomers. This gap reflects slower income growth compounded by weaker stock market performance in the years following the dot-com bust.
For Millennials and Gen Z—those born after 1981—total wealth stands at $17.1 trillion.
Interestingly, private business assets (10.8%) makes up a bigger part of their wealth than other generations, suggesting an entrepreneurial edge relative to older generations today.

Tesla safety concerns mount over self-driving at railroad crossings
A Texas Tesla driver narrowly avoided catastrophe this summer when his vehicle, operating in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode, nearly proceeded through a railroad crossing as gate arms lowered and warning lights flashed.
Driver Italo Frigoli said he braked manually to stop the car. NBC reported that video evidence confirmed the incident, and that during a subsequent ride-along with reporters, the vehicle again failed to recognize the same crossing.
That case highlights a broader concern voiced by Tesla owners. Six drivers told NBC of similar malfunctions, with several supplying video proof. Additional accounts have appeared on social media since mid-2023. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has raised the issue with Tesla as part of its ongoing oversight.
Tesla markets its FSD package as an advanced driver-assistance system, available by subscription or a one-time fee. While its branding suggests autonomy, the system is classified as Level 2 automation, requiring constant driver engagement. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has described FSD and future robotaxi technology as essential to the company’s business model.

China to commercialize U.S.-pioneered fusion energy technologies
China has spent up to $13 billion developing fusion energy since 2023 and could commercially replicate star power to generate electricity by 2030, becoming the first nation to master what’s commonly dubbed “the holy grail of energy solutions.”
Doing so would give the Chinese Communist Party “the potential to reshape global geopolitics” and “dominate a new energy era,” Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicists warn.
This cannot happen, said Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas), who chairs the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee’s Energy Subcommittee.
“Fusion energy technologies must be developed and deployed by nations that uphold democratic values, transparency, and international cooperation—not by authoritarian regimes that might exploit energy dominance as a weapon,” he said in opening remarks of a Sept. 18 hearing on the nation’s fusion programs.
“The U.S. must prioritize fusion energy development to outpace the CCP’s aggressive timelines,” Weber added, or China will dominate “the most consequential breakthrough of the century.”

Kids and pills: America’s medication obsession is fueling a youth suicide crisis
311% surge in 6- to 12-year-olds using household medications for self-harm/suicide (2000–2023), with 11-year-olds leading at nearly 400%. Top substances abused: painkillers, antihistamines, cough/cold meds, stimulants and even some vitamins—commonly found in homes.
Girls are disproportionately affected. Over 82% of intentional exposures involved girls, with 1 in 4 exposures among 12-year-olds tied to self-harm. Experts blame environmental stressors: pandemic isolation, social media, climate anxiety and lack of coping skills in pre-teens. Suggested solutions include lockboxes for meds, parental vigilance, early mental health intervention and lifestyle-based alternatives to pharmaceutical overreliance.
Between 2000 and 2023, U.S. poison control centers documented a staggering 311% increase in children ages 6–12 using household medications, supplements, or psychoactive substances for self-harm or suicide—with 11-year-olds experiencing the sharpest rise (397%), according to a Pediatrics study published Sept. 8.
The research, led by Nationwide Children’s Hospital, analyzed 1.5 million exposure cases, revealing that 95.8% occurred in private homes, where pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen, ibuprofen), antihistamines, cough syrups and even vitamins became weapons of despair.
Suicide is now the second-leading cause of death for children ages 10–14, per the National Institute of Mental Health—trailing only unintentional injuries. Yet the crisis extends beyond fatalities: One in five high schoolers reported seriously considering suicide in 2023, while 9% attempted it, the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey found.
Among 6- to 12-year-olds, girls accounted for over 82% of intentional exposures, with 25.8% of all cases in 12-year-olds linked to self-harm—a figure researchers called "alarmingly high."
