WATCH OUT this Halloween… 60% of popular children’s candies are laced with poisonous ARSENIC.
Your child can eat just 2.4 pieces of KIT KAT or SNICKERS over an ENTIRE YEAR before breaching the arsenic safety limit.
Florida's Department of Health found that SweeTarts, Skittles, Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, Twizzlers, Jolly Ranchers, Snickers, Kit Kat, and Tootsie Rolls ALL contained ARSENIC.

BREAKING: America’s $1.7 trillion auto loan market is headed for a crash, per Reuters.
Auto loans are now one of the biggest sources of household debt, bigger than credit cards.
And the strain is showing: 1 in 5 Americans is behind on at least one loan, the highest since 2010, and the average car on the road is now nearly 13 years old, a record.
A casino installed a smart fish tank in the lobby.
Beautiful thing. Automated feeding. Temperature control. Remote monitoring.
Connected to the internet. Obviously.
Hackers found it.
Exploited it.
Downloaded the high-roller database.
10 gigabytes.
Sent it to Finland.
Using audio and video protocols so it looked like normal streaming traffic.
The fish tank sat in the lobby maintaining water chemistry while stealing credit card numbers.
The casino isolated the fish tank on its own VPN.
Separate network. Segregated. Off limits to everything.
Hackers didn't care. Broke through the isolation anyway.
Once inside the fish tank's system. They pivoted to the main network.
Quietly pulled data. Methodically.
10 gigabytes over time so nobody noticed.
Nobody monitors fish tank outbound traffic.
Why would they.
It's a fish tank.
When Darktrace finally investigated they saw it immediately.
The fish tank sending massive amounts of data to an external IP.
Using protocols designed for audio. Not data.
Clear exfiltration.
The only device in the entire casino that ever communicated with that Finland server.
A fish tank.
Not a computer. Not compromised credentials. Not a malware-laden email.
A networked aquarium.
The lesson everyone learned: IoT devices are security theater.
You can secure them. Lock them down. Isolate them.
They're still connected to something. Still vulnerable to something.
And something will find them.
Even if that something is just checking if a fish tank is running the default password.

“You ever think your iPhone was reading your mind?”
“That’s because it is.”
“It’s a program called Gideon.”
“Epstein was a big part of it.”
MKUltra is only the tip of the iceberg.

Kurt Metzger just broke down the truth about the “conspiracy theory” that the deep state can literally read your mind.
Remember when the official Department of Homeland Security account briefly showed up as being located in Tel Aviv?
“Spoiler alert, that is real.”
“Why is it there?”
“Because of a program called Gideon.”
“The information gets sent back through Gideon in Tel Aviv.”
“It’s illegal for the DHS to set that up here and do their pre-crime unit.”
Duncan Trussell: “How does Gideon work?”
Metzger: “They read neural patterns.”
“This part lit up in your brain.”
“They learn to translate what means what.”
“Your whole body can be used to conduct all kinds of signals.”
“You’re a big bag of blood and water and heavy and soft metals.”
And he says this is why we’ve been mass poisoned with metals.
It makes it easier for the deep state to read our minds.
“The tech goes back to probably the 60s.”
“In the book 1984, much of that had already come true then.”
“You just didn’t know it.”

A U.S. congressman wants to change how we legally “own” video games.
Rep. Ritchie Torres has announced plans to introduce the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would direct the FTC to create rules protecting consumers who buy video games.
The proposal would give players three basic rights:
>The right to own the games they purchase, rather than simply receiving a revocable license
>The right to keep playing games after online servers are shut down, through an offline mode
>The right to transfer or resell games they own
Torres argues that if a company can take a game away simply by shutting down its servers, then the consumer didn’t really buy the game in the first place.
Torres also hopes the legislation could eventually establish a precedent for ownership rights across other parts of the digital economy:
“If you pay for it, you own it.”
