From the Wall Street Journal – Economists are now estimating that 186 US banks may be prone to the same risks as Silicon Valley Bank. This number is likely higher as the pressures that regional banks are facing are ramping up.

China’s President Xi Jinping increases defense budget with conflict in mind.
It’s no secret the People’s Republic of China (PRC) will not, borrowing from Dylan Thomas, “go gentle into that good night” when it comes to Taiwan. Instead, just the opposite is happening. Beijing is gearing up for conflict with the West, bolstering its battle plans by significantly increasing its spending on a growing military. Combine a budget for defense increasing faster than the PRC’s gross domestic product with the threatening rhetoric coming from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and trouble from the mainland across the Taiwan straits seems more imminent.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s decision Tuesday to allow infants and children 6 months through age 4 to get Pfizer’s bivalent booster shot drew harsh criticism from pediatricians and others who said children don’t need any COVID-19 vaccines, let alone four doses.
Infants and children 6 months through age 4 who received the three-dose primary series of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine are now eligible for a fourth dose — Pfizer’s bivalent booster shot.

Over 100 of the world’s governments are planning to push central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank may have given them the perfect opportunity to introduce this nightmarish surveillance tech.
Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), who famously co-authored the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law in response to the 2008 financial crisis, served as a director of Signature Bank, which failed Sunday.

The Hill reported the order will address a category of gun sellers “who do not realize they are required to run background checks under existing law, or who are willfully violating existing law, become compliant with background check requirements.” This will move the U.S. closer to the universal background check system that Democrats have wanted, but which Congress as a whole has refused to pass.

The fingerprints of unvaccinated school teachers in New York City who lost their jobs due to their vaccine status have allegedly been sent to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) flagged with a “problem code.” These “problem code” flags in the FBI files on the fired teachers could impact their ability to obtain future employment.1
According to the attorney representing the teachers who were fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine:
Congress has added tens of billions to Biden’s previous requests
The White House is asking Congress for a whopping $886.4 billion military budget for the fiscal year 2024, with $842 billion of it going to the Pentagon. The rest would go toward other federal agencies’ military spending, including the Energy Department’s nuclear weapons program.

While this fact was conveniently withheld, Newsom simultaneously promoted the Biden administration bailing out SVB customers with more than the $250,000 limit covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance.
It’s interesting that Newsom seems to have just above the threshold typically covered by the FDIC in SVB, but the same is true for more than 90% of the bank’s clients.
 
Israeli firms managed to transfer $1 billion out of Silicon Valley Bank to accounts in Israel just before the bank was seized by the feds, the Times of Israel reports. |
From The Times of Israel (via If Americans Knew:):
Israel’s two largest banks, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, set up a situation room that has been operating around the clock to help firms transfer their money from SVB — before it was seized — to accounts in Israel. Over the past few days, teams at LeumiTech, the high-tech banking arm of Bank Leumi, have been able to help their Israeli clients transfer about $1 billion to Israel, the bank said.
If Americans Knew has more:
Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper reports that “a good many Israeli companies had been able to get their money out in time, but that it was clearly not the case for everyone” and that “companies whose deposits are now locked will seek to conceal this, concerned that any rumors might drive away customers, suppliers and employees.”
The FDIC has announced an emergency bailout program that will pay depositors 100% of the money they had in the bank. It’s unclear whether this U.S. money will go to Israeli companies. Israel already receives over $10 million per day from American taxpayers.
The Washington Post reports: “While the fund going to the depositors is paid into by U.S. banks, it is ultimately backstopped by the Treasury Department — and therefore U.S. taxpayers.”
How nice of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to look the other way while these funds were transferred out.

WASHINGTON — The Navy and Marine Corps’ budget would grow by more than $11 billion next year, the most of any of the military services, under the Biden administration’s new $842 billion defense spending plan, according to budget documents from the White House’s Office of Management and Budget.
