🇨🇦 Toronto's first Black female police superintendent, Stacy Clarke, has been demoted after admitting to helping Black officers cheat to secure promotions. During a hearing, Clarke confessed to taking photos of confidential interview questions and sending them to six Black police officers vying for sergeant positions.
She justified her actions by claiming it was a "desperate effort to level the playing field," as she felt those officers were not given a fair chance in the promotion process. Clarke mentioned her personal experiences of racial inequality as contributing to her decision.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Israeli Minister Makhlouf Zohar made a strong statement accusing Iran of attempting to assassinate Prime Minister Netanyahu via their Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah. He declared this a "red line" and warned that Iran will face severe consequences, stating that the fall of Iran’s regime is closer than ever.
Israeli media reports that Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, fled to Iran, fearing Israeli retaliation. This comes amidst increased tensions in the region, especially with Iran's involvement through proxies in Lebanon and Gaza.
The situation continues to escalate, with Israel directly pointing fingers at Iran for its role in destabilizing the region.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Second US THAAD air defense system reportedly arrives in Israel amid rising tensions with Iran
The United States has deployed a second THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system in Israel, primarily in response to the growing threat from Iran. Tensions have escalated due to Iran's military activities in the region and its continued support for proxy forces like Hezbollah. The THAAD system, capable of intercepting ballistic missiles, offers an additional layer of defense against potential Iranian missile strikes, which are viewed as one of the most significant threats to Israel's national security.
This move is part of broader defensive measures aimed at countering Iran's expanding influence and military capabilities in the region.

🚨🚨 JUST IN: The European Central Bank (ECB) has argued in a new paper that the perpetually rising price of #Bitcoin 💰 would primarily benefit early adopters, rather than serve the broader market.
The ECB claims that Bitcoin has shifted from its original purpose as a peer-to-peer cash system to becoming a speculative asset, with gains favoring those who got in early.
What nonsense from this central bank. Seriously, does anyone believe that starting with the euro early makes people rich? 🤔 Bitcoin is the real solution to escape this disgusting and increasingly unfair system.
Do you think an average worker today can afford to buy a house or a car like in the 1990s or early 2000s? No way. Look at how desperate these useless bureaucrats are becoming. BTC is here to stay, and anyone can buy it. If you haven’t yet, there’s still time! The price is ridiculously low right now.

🗞 The large premium of MicroStrategy's stock for bitcoin holdings is defended by an analyst as "smart leverage"
The growing premium at which business intelligence company and corporate bitcoin holder MicroStrategy (ticker: MSTR) trades compared to its net asset value (NAV) is not something to fear, according to Benchmark. Currently at 2.3x, the premium reached a three-year high of 2.7x earlier this month, sparking debates among observers who argued the stock should align more closely with the company's bitcoin holdings.
