HTX

Singapore, June 26, 2024 – HTX announces that the People’s Court of China has ruled in favor of Sun Yuchen (“Justin Sun”), Member of the HTX Global Advisory Board, in a landmark defamation suit against Chongqing Business Media Group ("Business Media").

After more than two years of fact-finding and trials, the court found no evidence supporting any of the claims made in the video and article, and decisively ruled in favor of Sun, ordering that the defamatory content be removed and that a public apology be issued.

American Paper Plate Coalition

Today, the U. S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced its preliminary determination that the governments of China and Vietnam unfairly subsidize their paper plate industries, and the resulting duties on imports from each country: up to 313.14 percent on imports from China and up to 237.65 percent on imports from Vietnam. The American Paper Plate Coalition ("APPC") representing the majority of imports of Amercan paper pllate production, welcomes the decision to impose duties. "The unlawful subsidies received by Chinese and Vietnamese producers have given them an unfair advantage in the U.S. market - this has haad a direct negative impact on American producerrs and employees," said William P. Biggens, Jr., President and Co-Owner of APPC member Aspen Products, Inc. "Imposing duties to offset unlawful subsidies is an important first step to ensuring the future health of our industry. We are encouraged that Commerce has taken prelininary action to restore a level playing field." Today’s announcements address petitions filed by the APPC in January, detailing unfair trade practices to sell unlawfully subsidized paper plates at less than fair value. Commerce began investigating the AD and CVD claims in February. The countervailing duty investigations concerning imports from China and Vietnam are ongoing and may lead to higher final CVD rates. Final determinations in the China and Vietnam CVD investigations are expected in early November 2024. Preliminary determinations in the companion AD investigations of imports from China, Vietnam, and Thailand are due August 22, 2024. “Today’s announcement and the high duties being imposed validate the analysis we presented when we filed these cases and the extent of the problem that drove us to file in the first place,” said Robert Epstein, President and CEO of APPC member AJM Packaging Corporation. “We appreciate the Commerce Department’s hard work and diligent efforts to administer our trade laws as Congress intended.” For more on the petitions, see the APPC’s press release.

Canada Needs a Public Inquiry into the "Kamloops Graves Hoax"

Troy Media

Call for a public inquiry is a step towards uncovering the truth and ensuring such a national scandal never happens again WINNIPEG, June 25, 2024 – TheNewswire – The Frontier Centre for Public Policy is urgently calling for a public inquiry into what has become known as the “Kamloops Graves Hoax.” The May 27, 2021, claim by the Kamloops Indian Band regarding the discovery of “human remains” in the apple orchard area of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School caused national hysteria and moral panic, both domestically and internationally. However, recent admissions have revealed these claims to be false. In a press release issued three years after the sensational claims, Chief Roseanne Casimir of the Kamloops Indian Band finally admitted that there were no “human remains,” “bodies,” “graves,” or “mass graves” found at Kamloops. What was initially reported as grave sites turned out to be mere soil anomalies, which could easily be attributed to tree roots, rocks, or remnants of prior excavations. Notably, a 1924 excavation in the same area was likely the source of the detected soil disturbances. The 2021 claims triggered a wave of national and international reactions, including lowered flags, burned churches, and widespread media coverage. These events also prompted the ailing Pope to visit Canada, led MPs to condemn their own country as genocidal, and resulted in the enactment of costly legislation. The Canadian government allocated millions of dollars towards the search for “missing children,” who, as it turns out, never existed. The entire episode is a blemish on Canada’s history, highlighting the need for a thorough public inquiry. Chief Casimir stated that the initial claims were based on a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) report prepared by Sarah Beaulieu, a young anthropologist from the University of the Fraser Valley. However, it is widely known that GPR can only detect soil anomalies, not graves or human remains. The actual content of Beaulieu’s report remains undisclosed, as the Kamloops Indian Band has refused to release it despite initially promising to do so. This raises serious questions about the veracity of their claims and the possibility that the band knew the information was false. The Kamloops Indian Band applied for and received $8,000,000 from the federal government based on their false claims. Neither the band nor the federal government has provided details about the representations made to secure these funds or how the money was spent, especially given that no excavation has taken place. The refusal of the Kamloops Indian Band to release the GPR report, coupled with the federal government’s silence on the matter, indicates a need for a thorough investigation. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) will not investigate unless requested by the Kamloops Band. This leaves the Canadian public in the dark about how and why millions of taxpayer dollars were spent based on a false premise. The claims made on May 27, 2021, have caused significant disruption in Canada, damaged the nation’s reputation, and led to misleading narratives being taught in schools. It is crucial to understand how these false claims were propagated and why. A public inquiry is essential to provide clarity and accountability and to restore public trust. The Frontier Centre for Public Policy calls for this inquiry to ensure transparency and address the grave mistakes that have been made. Canadians deserve to know the truth and to hold accountable those who have misled the nation.

Ethena Suffers Crypto Slump, As Raboo Outclasses TRON With Exceptional Activity

Total Media

The DeFi coins are in sharp decline, as they are yet to turn around their latest bearish losses. Ethena (ENA) is in a worse situation, as the token's community is furious at their latest token policy. Tron (TRX), on the other hand, hasn't resolved its TRX price issues, but its stablecoin trading has reached another milestone. It's trying times for the top crypto coins, especially as their holders turn to meme coins like Raboo ($RABT) for profits this year. The $RABT presale is offering 233% ROI, but that surely isn't everything. That $RABT presale could be your passport to profits this year. Ethena revamp sparks criticism among traders From 'fan favourites' to ‘heavily despised,' Ethena has made quite the drop lately. The token launched in February, doubling its opening price days after listing. Ethena's staking APYs and stablecoin trading have also endeared users to its blockchain. There seem to be more scalp traders than actual investors on the network, skewing the actual capital value and hindering growth for the ENA token. To curb that, the developers released a statement requiring all new airdrop recipients to lock at least 50% of their ENA coins or risk losing them all. The new policy is, no doubt, quite inconvenient for the users. And that might be a reason Ethena is trading at significant 23% losses in the past seven days. It's a huge dip, and we wonder how low the ENA price can get before it bottoms out. Tron hits new stablecoin achievement; TRX price spikes, too The Tron ecosystem has thrived on being user-friendly for years, as TRX-based transactions are never as costly to execute as transactions on other networks. Now, the traffic on Tron seems to be yielding rather positively; the stablecoin Tether had recently surged over $53 billion in trading volume. That value is often reserved for payment processing outlets, like Visa and MasterCard, and Tron's USDT trading volume just leaped past theirs. Tether is gradually becoming a more popular token than even the top crypto coins; it is more used than BTC in Latin America. And Tron holds about $100 billion worth of reserves in traditional banking institutions. That's an influential position to hold, and the ripple effects are impacting everything on the Tron platform, even the TRX price. It's on a three-day profit streak, and the consensus is that Tron might be back for the bull run. Or not. Tron has never been the go-to coin for profits. The long game is a boring one, especially when you have far better tokens to cash out from. Raboo's offer is still on the table. Experience the future of memes on Raboo! The meme coin sector is one of the most reactionary parts of the crypto market; the average investor won't go near a meme coin with a ten-foot pole. Yet, here they are all over Raboo–you can be sure it's not just presale profits they are after. Raboo's real-world applications are centered on bringing the best out of memes, and there's no other meme project doing it better. With the prospects of AI development in sight, Raboo has incorporated a generative AI to assist with creating memes on the platform. No, we won't be getting AI-generated content for memes, either. It's AI-enhanced, meaning that Rabooscan, the generative AI algorithm, will only be taking the meme creation process a step higher. With members of the Raboo community regularly posting their memeable pictures, Rabooscan will never run out of pictures and ideas to piece together. Raboo is a call to join a growing community of like-minded meme lovers. At any rate, you're in for a fun ride. Conclusion The good news is, a fun ride isn't all you'd be getting from Raboo. The 233% presale profits, as we said, are just a tip of the rest of the goodies. Raboo's potential growth will follow the trajectory of AI development in the crypto market. And as AI continues to penetrate the market, Raboo's value keeps rising. There's some 10,000% profit to be gained as soon as Raboo makes a major exchange listing. So get ready for Raboo today; get your $RABT tokens at $0.0048 before the presale ends. You can participate in the Raboo presale here.
