Saudi Arabia's NEOM smart city project has gotten a lot of attention lately, but Japan has a handful of smart cities in development that are every bit as innovative and weird and... maybe problematic? Especially a project called The Woven City by Toyota. Let's take a look at them.

A Political and Legal Escalation Around the Clintons and Epstein

Image
  What’s real right now is a political and legal escalation around the Clintons and Epstein , but the “referred to DOJ for arrest” line you’re seeing is mostly a spin on a narrower, procedural step. Here’s how it breaks down in plain terms: The House Oversight Committee , chaired by Rep. James Comer , has issued subpoenas for Bill and Hillary Clinton to sit for depositions about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, along with subpoenas to the Department of Justice for Epstein-related records.  These subpoenas are part of a broader Epstein investigation on Capitol Hill, not a criminal indictment. Congress is demanding testimony and documents; DOJ is being compelled to turn over files.  The Clintons have so far refused to appear for the requested depositions, which has triggered talk among some Republicans about treating them like Steve Bannon was treated (i.e., contempt of Congress referrals to DOJ if they keep defying subpoenas).  This is where th...

Donald Trump has not been criminally implicated or charged in Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes based on the evidence released so far.

 He is heavily associated with Epstein in the records  and emails, but investigators say they have found  no proof of Trump committing  a crime with Epstein. Political commentator Jack Cocchiarella reacts to the latest Trump Epstein scandal. Trump PANICS As Fox Host ADMITS Epstein CHILD CRIMES On Air! Here’s the breakdown. 1. What the official investigations say A recent DOJ/FBI memo reviewing the Epstein case states there is no evidence of a “ client list ,” blackmail operation, or additional uncharged co-conspirators that they can credibly pursue.  When the DOJ and FBI release a memo insisting there is “no evidence” of a client list, no blackmail network, and no additional co-conspirators to pursue, many observers question whether the statement reflects the truth or simply the limits of what the government is willing to acknowledge. The Epstein case has always operated in the shadows of powerful interests, with sealed files , destroyed records , and...
