[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A faltering American tech icon is set to lay off as much as a fifth of its workers next month.
Intel — once the dominant chipmaker which powered most PCs — sent an email to employees on Saturday, warning that job cuts are coming to its factories.
'These are difficult actions but essential to meet our affordability challenges and current financial position of the company,' Naga Chandrasekaran, the tech giant's vice president of manufacturing, said in the memo seen by Oregon Live.
Chandrasekaran said the company is aiming to slash 15 to 20 percent of its factory workforce in July, a move that could push thousands of Americans into job searches.
With Intel employing 109,000 globally, that would mean 16,350 to 21,800 layoffs.
It is not clear how many work in US-based factories, and how many American jobs will go.
Recently, Intel reported employing more than 20,000 staffers at its plant in Hillsboro, Oregon.
The news comes a day after Microsoft said it was cutting thousands of jobs, and two days after Amazon's CEO also announced brutal workforce cuts. Both linked the cuts to AI.
This marks the second round of layoffs for the legendary tech company in a year. Last December, Intel slashed 15 percent of its workforce after its stock price dropped by more than 60 percent.
The two sets of layoffs are a response to rising pressure from upstart competitors, compounding financial losses, and a declining stock price.
For years, Intel had been a dominant force in tech, manufacturing components for computers such as chips and microprocessors.
But in recent years, its competitors have made major technological strides. Chipmakers AMD, IBM, TSMC, and NVIDIA have surged past Intel by investing heavily in processors built for artificial intelligence.
AI chip deployment has been a weak spot for Intel. Investors have punished the company for its apparent flat-footedness.
Intel traded above $68 a share in 2021, but it’s currently trading just north of $21.
The company reported an $821 million loss in the first quarter of this year.
It is also receiving billions of dollars in federal support through the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, which aims to bring militarily critical tech manufacturing back to the US.
The company is awaiting the arrival of $6.9 billion in federal grants to support factory builds and growth in Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, and Ohio.
Intel has delayed construction of its Ohio factory until 2030.
JOBS JETTISONED
Some of America's biggest companies have announced sweeping job cuts this year.
In May, Walmart — America's largest employer — announced it was cutting 1,500 jobs from its tech operations and e-commerce teams.
Procter & Gamble, the owner of Tide detergent and Gillette shaving products, is also undergoing significant cuts. The company said it would eliminate 7,000 positions.
Job losses have been even more pronounced in the tech sector, as firms increasingly replace human employees with hyper-intelligent machines. The AI-driven job bloodbath marks a major shift for American workers. For years, mass layoffs were concentrated in US manufacturing plants. Now, they're impacting college-educated, high-to-middle-class earners.
Microsoft — one of the leading firms investing in AI — is expected to lay off thousands of employees next month as it shifts resources toward deeper investments.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently said the quiet part out loud: the technology will uproot thousands of Americans from their jobs.
'As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done,' he wrote to his employees in a memo.
'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce.'
So far, the cuts haven't had a statistically significant impact on overall job numbers in the US. Last month, employers continued to add jobs. But job creation is starting to slow.

Intel spent the last 8 years celebrating their woke culture while companies like TSMC dug in and built new facilities and new processes. TSMC is building the largest chip manufacturing facility in the world, right here in AZ. Intel will not recover, it will become a sub contractor the TSMC. They owned thwe market, and they blew it.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The longest-standing dark web drug market worth £200million has been dismantled following a years-long investigation with its alleged mastermind arrested in Barcelona.
The site, known as Archetyp Market, was busted last week by European authorities with the help of the US in an effort dubbed 'Operation Deep Sentinel'.
Europol said in a statement on Monday that between June 11 and 13, 300 officers were deployed to carry out a 'series of coordinated actions' across Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Sweden targeting the platform's administrators, vendors and technical infrastructure.
It added that the platform's infrastructure in the Netherlands was taken offline and that the mastermind behind the operation - a 30-year-old German known as 'Big Boss' - had been arrested in Barcelona.
Users of the Archetyp Market website are now met with a banner informing them the site has been taken down.
'This operation led by the German authorities marks the end of a criminal service that enabled the anonymous trade in high volumes of illicit drugs, including cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines, and synthetic opioids', the statement said.
So is this a tool of the narco gangs connected to regional and transnational jihadi groups, or is it a clearinghouse for lots of small time local buyers and sellers?
Europol said the takedown comes after years of investigation into the platform's 'technical architecture' and the individuals behind it, adding that its findings were achieved by analysing digital forensic evidence.
Europol's Deputy Executive Director of Operations Jean-Philippe Lecouffe said: 'With this takedown, law enforcement has taken out one of the dark web’s longest-running drug markets, cutting off a major supply line for some of the world’s most dangerous substances.
'By dismantling its infrastructure and arresting its key players, we are sending a clear message: there is no safe haven for those who profit from harm.'
It comes after international law enforcement agencies led by the FBI seized a sprawling dark web marketplace popular with cybercriminals back in 2023.
The hacker cyber-bazaar, known as Genesis Market, was seized in a multinational crackdown dubbed 'Operation Cookie Monster' after the site's specialization in stolen digital fingerprints, known as cookies.
According to the FBI, Genesis Market offered access to data stolen from more than 1.5 million compromised computers around the world, containing over 80 million account access credentials.
The stolen data included passwords for services such as online banking, Facebook, Amazon, PayPal and Netflix, as well as digital fingerprints that can be exploited by criminals to bypass online security checks by spoofing the victim's device.
In coordinated raids around the world, more than 200 searches were carried out and about 120 people were arrested, including 24 arrests in and around the British town of Grimsby, UK law enforcement officials said.
The raid on Genesis followed a similar US-led enforcement actions in 2023 against other darknet hacker market places, including Hydra Market and Breach Forums.
But experts warned that hacker gangs are often slippery, and similar markets often soon re-emerge.

[SlayNews] The United Nations’ World Health Organization (WHO) and several other top European health agencies have been hit with a criminal complaint over surging reports of people developing deadly "turbo cancers" caused by Covid mRNA "vaccines."
The new criminal complaint was filed in France and presents evidence linking Covid mRNA "vaccines" to the rapid onset of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
According to a report from French outlet The Daily News, the case sounds alarming about surging cases of "turbo cancer" and related deaths following mRNA injections.
The complaint was filed over the death of a French psychiatric nurse who had developed a rapidly spreading metastatic pancreatic cancer.
It calls for a full investigation into possible poisoning, medical malpractice, failure to obtain informed consent, and human experimentation without authorization.
The complaint was submitted on June 18, 2025, to the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Named in the complaint are key regulatory bodies and individuals involved in Covid "vaccine" policy and approval:
World Health Organization officials, including Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
French Medicines Agency (ANSM)
European Medicines Agency (EMA)
High Health Authority (HAS)
Pharmaceutical companies Moderna and Pfizer
Former French Health Minister Olivier Véran
The complaint was filed by a grieving husband in France, who is raising the alarm about what he calls a catastrophic failure of government, medicine, and global health authorities.
He argues that his wife was one of the skyrocketing number of people around the world who died from "turbo cancers" caused by mRNA injections.
His sweeping criminal complaint accuses powerful institutions of hiding deadly "vaccine" risks, suppressing medical truth, and using the public as test subjects for experimental mRNA technology.
The complaint centers around the sudden and aggressive onset of pancreatic cancer that killed his wife, a 49-year-old nurse, in less than two months.
She received two doses of an mRNA Covid vaccine in August 2021 and January 2022.
Less than a year and a half later, in June 2023, she was diagnosed with a fast-moving pancreatic "turbo cancer."
By August, she was dead.
Her husband and his wife suffered a vaccine-induced "turbo cancer."
The term is used by some medical researchers and whistleblowers to describe cancers that explode in severity shortly after mRNA vaccine administration.
Some leading oncologists have warned that their seemingly healthy patients can die within a week of turbo cancer diagnosis.
According to the legal filing, his wife was never fully informed about the serious risks of mRNA "vaccines.".
While she was told to expect minor symptoms like fatigue and headaches, she was never warned about potential life-threatening effects such as myocarditis, immune suppression, or accelerated cancer growth.
The complaint argues this violates Article 5 of the Oviedo Convention, an international agreement on medical ethics that mandates full, transparent informed consent for any medical procedure.
The plaintiff, supported by a growing chorus of medical dissenters, also lays out scientific allegations suggesting the mRNA vaccines may interfere with critical systems in the human body.
He claims the shots inhibit tumor-suppressing proteins like p53, potentially making the body more vulnerable to cancer.
He also raises concerns that mRNA vaccine components may disrupt hormone regulation through the renin—angiotensin—aldosterone system, which is linked to organ malfunction and tumor development.
He further notes that lipid nanoparticles used to deliver the mRNA have carcinogenic properties, while genetic modifications using pseudouridine can allegedly lead to the production of unnatural "ghost proteins."
Even more concerning, the complaint asserts that the "vaccines" include HIV-like genetic sequences that may suppress natural immune defenses, leaving the body more exposed to illness and disease.
As Slay News has previously reported, this phenomenon has been dubbed Vaccine-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) or vaccine-induced AIDS.

[Breitbart] Nvidia has joined a $650 million funding round for TerraPower LLC, a nuclear energy startup founded by creepy Bill Gates. The company plans to further develop its advanced reactor project in Wyoming, which could one day contribute to the insatiable power demands of AI datacenters full of Nvidia chips.
The modern AI boom is pushing our power grid to its limits. ChatGPT alone processes roughly 1 billion queries per day, each requiring data center resources far beyond what’s on your device.
In fact, the energy needed to support artificial intelligence is rising so quickly that it has already delayed the retirement of several coal plants in the U.S., with more delays expected. Some experts warn that the AI arms race is outpacing the infrastructure meant to support it. Others argue it could spark long-overdue clean energy innovation.
AI isn't just reshaping apps and search engines. It's also reshaping how we build, fuel and regulate the digital world. The race to scale up AI capabilities is accelerating faster than most infrastructure can handle, and energy is becoming the next major bottleneck.
[ET via ZERO] Long-term marijuana smoking and THC edible use may harm the blood vessels as much as tobacco, a new study suggests. The research indicates that cannabis users might face an increased risk of heart disease, even if they are otherwise healthy.
Both smoking and eating cannabis caused the blood vessel linings to not work as effectively, even in otherwise healthy adults who never used tobacco, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) found.
"The blood vessels don’t seem to care whether the smoke is from tobacco or cannabis," study author Matthew L. Springer, professor of medicine at the Cardiovascular Research Institute at UCSF, told The Epoch Times. The research shows cannabis users had blood vessel function "very similar" to tobacco smokers in previous studies, he noted.
Different Methods, Same Damage
For the estimated 17.7 million Americans who use marijuana in some form every day, according to polling data, the study raises important questions about long-term health risks that remain largely unstudied.
The research, recently published in JAMA Cardiology, tracked 55 healthy adults aged 18 to 50, dividing them into three groups: marijuana smokers, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) edible users, and non-users. All cannabis users consumed their preferred method at least three times weekly for more than a year—making them regular, not casual users.
Springer said they had a good reason for the relatively small number of participants. "We were very picky!"
"The study is very clean in that our cannabis user groups have never been tobacco smokers/vapers, and tend to avoid secondhand smoke," he added. "The marijuana smokers only smoke marijuana and don’t vaporize it or vape THC, and our THC edibles group avoids all smoke."
Researchers measured blood flow-mediated dilation, which shows how well blood vessels relax and contract. Both cannabis groups showed significantly worse vascular function than nonusers, with heavier use linked to greater damage.

[TWZ] MQ-28 drones can provide organic protection and extended sensor capabilities for lumbering support aircraft like the E-7 early warning jet.
MQ-28 Ghost Bat drones have demonstrated their ability to engage an aerial target while under the direction of the crew of a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) E-7 Wedgetail airborne early warning and control aircraft. The RAAF plans to conduct more crewed-uncrewed teaming tests this year with the MQ-28, including with F/A-18F Super Hornets and F-35A Joint Strike Fighters, as its plans for the drone evolve.
Boeing announced the MQ-28/E-7 test on Monday, which involved a pair of real Ghost Bats and a third drone simulated entirely in a digital environment, along with the Wedgetail, but did not explicitly say where or when it had occurred. Since the MQ-28’s first flight in 2021, RAAF Base Woomera and its surrounding range complex have been, together, a central hub for Ghost Bat testing in Australia. To date, Boeing has delivered eight MQ-28s to the RAAF in a Block 1 prototype configuration, and the company is on contract to supply three more Ghost Bats in an improved Block 2 configuration.
“During the mission, a single operator onboard the E-7A took control of the uncrewed MQ-28s emulating the role they play in flying ahead of and protecting crewed assets,” according to a Boeing release. Underlying software used in the test “was jointly developed and implemented by Boeing Defence Australia, Defence Science and Technology Group, and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratories.”
“This trial demonstrates family-of-systems integration, the strength of our open systems architecture, and is a critical first step towards integrating mission partners’ software and communications systems natively into the E-7A Wedgetail,” Glen Ferguson, Boeing’s director of MQ-28 Global Programs, said in an accompanying statement. “It not only validated a key element of the MQ-28 concept of operations, but also how collaborative combat aircraft can expand and enhance the role of the E-7A to meet future force requirements.”
“It is another tangible proof point of the maturity of our program.”
The idea of using MQ-28s as uncrewed loyal wingmen to help protect high-value assets like E-7s has been part of the RAAF’s vision for using the drones from the very start of what is also known as the Airpower Teaming System (ATS) program. It is a mission set that has been envisioned for other next-generation drones for some time, as well. In addition to providing an extra layer of defense for important, but often vulnerable support aircraft like the Wedgetail, this would also help free up crewed combat jets for other missions.
Unfortunately, we're cancelling our E-7 buy, and the RAF(who tried to cheap out by buying used airframes for theirs) can't even keep the test airframes flying; supposedly been 7 months since the last flight.
