NEW DELHI: In her seventh consecutive Union Budget for 2024-25, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman outlined nine key priorities aimed at fostering economic growth and creating ample opportunities. These priorities encompass productivity, employment, social justice, urban development, energy security, infrastructure, innovation, and reforms.

Sitharaman announced that the government is conducting a thorough review of research to develop seeds that are resilient to climate change. Over the next two years, the government plans to introduce one crore farmers to natural farming practices.

The finance minister also stated that the government will promote large-scale vegetable production clusters to boost output. Additionally, 109 new high-yielding, climate-resilient seeds for 32 field and horticulture crops will be released.

Sitharaman noted that the implementation of various schemes announced in the interim budget in February is still ongoing.

An extreme eater, 24, tragically died during a livestream after a 10-hour food binge. Pan Xiaoting, known for her competitive eating sessions, was attempting to consume 10kg of food on camera when the fatal incident occurred. Pan’s stomach was found to be deformed and filled with undigested food according to reports. The influencer was participating in a ‘Mukbang’ session, a trend where hosts eat on camera. While some questioned the need for such extreme challenges, others lamented the glorification of obesity and the dangers of overeating. Competitive eating, often seen as a sport, has gained popularity globally, with some countries imposing regulations on excessive eating in Mukbang content. Tragically, Pan’s death serves as a reminder of the risks associated with extreme eating practices.

Solana [SOL] is undoubtedly one of the best performing top cryptocurrencies so far this year. Its performance in the last two weeks confirmed that it was still in the group, but a retracement might be on the cards.

SOL pulled a robust bullish performance in the last two weeks that saw it rally as high as $187.15 during the weekend, a 52% recovery from its current monthly low.

While the current performance indicated that bulls were dominant, AMBCrypto also saw signs of a potential retracement along the way.

SOL’s performance during the weekend signaled that it managed to breakout from a 4-month descending resistance.

Nevertheless, it has now entered another resistance zone between the $180 and the $200 price range. Note that it had previously shown resistance within the same range, hence this is one zone to watch in the next few days.

SOL did manage to extend its upside well above the descending resistance. However, this could also present a potential induction level where shorting is likely to play out.

Indicators also corroborated the signs of a potential pullback. For example, the RSI briefly entered the overbought zone before the 3.41% correction observed in the 24-hours at the time of writing.

The resistance zone, coupled with a substantial number of traders, highlighted the likelihood of profit-taking. A look at SOL’s Open Interest heat map revealed a zone of interest within the $184 price level.

Consequently, the price did take a dip after failing to sustain bullish momentum above that range.

Solana’s short-term outlook suggested that a retracement might take place. However, the coin might be shaping up for a more bullish future.

Now that Ethereum [ETH] ETFs have been approved, Solana is the next major candidate.

Solana’s memecoin-fueled rally this year, as well as congestion, are reminiscent of the Ethereum’s performance during the 2021 bull run.

Elsewhere in the Solana ecosystem, we observed an interesting phenomenon. The Jeo Boden [BODEN] memecoin tanked by almost 60% after U.S. president Joe Biden announced that he will bow out of the presidential race.

The memecoin’s price reaction to the news of President Biden’s exit highlighted the rapid pace at which real-world news have an impact on crypto assets.

Raytheon has been building its international co-production to meet an insatiable demand for its Patriot and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System interceptors as it is working through the White House directive to prioritize Ukraine over other customers.

The Biden administration’s directive to move Ukraine to the front of the line for the interceptors has been understood by other international customers, mostly because they are NATO partners who themselves have been donating the interceptors to Ukraine, says Thomas Laliberty, the company’s president of Land and Air Defense Systems.

That said, they would like to understand, kind of, like the scope of what’s going on, he told reporters July 22 at the Farnborough Airshow here. So we’re still working with the United States Air Force to have a better response to that specific question.

But what I will tell you is, without kind of getting into the sort of details, we’re actively working with the U.S. Air Force to expand the capacity of our [AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile] production line so that we can surge our capacity to start delivering more and hopefully having enough to supply all our customers.

AMRAAM is the interceptor used by the NASAMS system. Raytheon is also growing partnerships to expand the Patriot capacity. These steps include an April announcement that it signed an agreement with Sener in Spain to modernize the missile’s control actuation system. The company has an agreement with Bayern-Chemie in Germany for rocket motor production. It also established an all-up round production agreement with MBDA to help double production of the interceptors.

At the end of last year, NATO ordered 1,000 Patriot Guided Enhanced Missile interceptors, which will be delivered by priority to individual members.

A key limiting factor is the production of solid rocket motors, which are in very high demand with a limited supply chain. Raytheon has struggled with provider Aerojet Rocketdyne to receive enough solid rocket motors. The company has since been acquired by L3Harris, which provides products for dozens of Raytheon programs. L3Harris is performing extremely well on some programs, while also having challenges to meet schedules on others, Laliberty says. Raytheon is looking at other ways to increase capacity, including a Nammo production line in Norway and Florida.

Many people are still unaware that Kennedy even participated in the debate via the Real Debate precisely because Google did its best to silence its users from informing their friends, family members and supporters to tune in on X to watch. Lori Weintz, writing for The Defender, a project of Kennedy’s Children’s Health Defense (CHD), says she sent out a few texts and a notice in a Google Group, with a link to the Real Debate website, only to have these notices permanently removed by Google within minutes.

Some commentary on the debate went back and forth in the group, Weintz writes. Thirty minutes after my first post, I received [an] email from Google Groups stating that they had ‘permanently removed’ my content because ‘an external report flagged the content for illegal content or policy violations.’

My post was removed ‘for the following reason: unwanted content,’ and I was informed, ‘You may have the option to pursue your claims in court.’

Human knowledge is under attack! Governments and powerful corporations are using censorship to wipe out humanity’s knowledge base about nutrition, herbs, self-reliance, natural immunity, food production, preparedness and much more. We are preserving human knowledge using AI technology while building the infrastructure of human freedom. Speak freely without censorship at the new decentralized, blockchain-power platform.

After clicking on the provided link to see which of her content was deleted, Weintz was unable to see anything as she was presented with a Content unavailable prompt from Google.

For the first time, I was censored by Big Brother for sharing an idea, without even being informed what my thoughtcrime was, Weintz says. I’m not on social media, so I have only been informed by others of the rampant censorship surrounding posts about Jan. 6, election integrity and the official COVID-19 response, among other taboo topics.

Even just five years ago, it was mostly unheard of for tech platforms like Google to take such blatantly anti-free speech measures on their platforms. Raids people’s private emails and groups to remove certain types of speech is an entirely new paradigm that is rapidly escalating across the entire tech spectrum.

It would have seemed a tongue-in-cheek reference to Orwell’s 1984 or an absurd comparison to totalitarian states where freedom of speech is not a thing, Weintz contends about how quickly the Censorship Industrial Complex has ballooned into the behemoth silencer of speech it has now become.

In addition to censoring content, Google also actively monitors private groups in search of unwanted speech. The company also probes its users’ personal emails in search of the same so entire emails can be flagged as dangerous.

Weintz wants to know who filed the external report against her in the first place, though she is not holding her breath that Google will ever fess up unless it has to via a court order. It could be the Biden regime, though, if the case of Murthy v. Missouri is any indication.

As can be read in the June 26 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, during the pandemic social media companies were harangued by various White House officials and the Office of the Surgeon General, Weintz reveals.

The platforms were pressured to remove posts, and even delete whole accounts, that were deemed ‘unhelpful’ by the government. Section 230 of the United States Code provides immunity to online platform services for content generated by their users. The White House threatened the removal of that protection if the social media platforms didn’t comply with Big Brother’s wishes.

Truth is getting harder and harder to find the more the deep state censors and removes it from the internet and public conversation. Learn more at Censorship.news.
