US Treasury Should Buy, Hold Bitcoin as Strategic Asset – RFK Jr
The independent candidate also expressed his support of Former President Donald Trump’s proposal to hold a portion of the United States’ reserves in Bitcoin and said he hopes Trump’s interest in the currency extends beyond politics.
NASHVILLE (Sputnik) – Independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would make all US-held Bitcoin a strategic asset if elected, a Sputnik correspondent reports.
“I intend as the President of the United States to sign an executive order on day one directing the Department of Justice and the US Marshals to transfer approximately 200,000 Bitcoin held by the US government to the United States Treasury … for the strategic assets,” Kennedy said speaking at the main stage of the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville Friday.
Kennedy added he would issue a second executive order instructing “the US Treasury to purchase 550 Bitcoin daily until the US holds in reserves of at least 4 million Bitcoins.”
The candidate expressed support for Former President Donald Trump’s proposal to hold a portion of the United States’ reserves in Bitcoin and said he hopes Trump’s interest in the currency extends beyond politics.
Trump is set to address the conference Saturday.
Bitcoin’s price increased to nearly $68,000 Friday morning in anticipation of Trump’s speech.

Trump Tells Netanyahu ‘Third World War’ Is Likely If He Loses In November
Former President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Friday, just after the Israeli leader met with President Biden and VP Harris.
Trump claimed in the context of the meeting that a major war in the Middle East – and even possibly a “third world war” – will break out if he doesn’t win the election. He’s long been running as the candidate who will deescalate global hotspots that Washington is too deeply embedded in.
“If we win, it’ll be very simple. It’s all going to work out and very quickly,” Trump told reporters just before the meeting’s start.
“If we don’t, you’re going to end up with major wars in the Middle East and maybe a third world war. You are closer to a third world war right now than at any time since the second world war. You’ve never been so close, because we have incompetent people running our country,” he said.
Likely he had in mind the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Israel-Hamas conflict, given he has made similar comments of these flashpoints in the past. However, he’s never put it so bluntly as to say world war three could result if he loses.
He also reflected on controversy left in the wake of Netanyahu’s meeting with VP Harris. The Israeli leader was reportedly upset with Harris’ post-meeting statement, where she said she would “not be silent” at the mounting civilian Palestinian casualties and suffering.
“Harris’ statement after the meeting was much more critical than what she told Netanyahu in the meeting,” one Israeli official told Axios. According to more, “The Israeli official also said Netanyahu was unhappy with the fact that Harris criticized Israel publicly for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and for killing civilians, especially at the current timing amid the hostage deal negotiations.”
Trump said going into the meeting with Netanyahu that Harris’ remarks on the Gaza war were “disrespectful”. Referencing Harris and the Biden administration, and Democrats broadly, Trump said “They weren’t very nice pertaining to Israel. I actually don’t know how a person who is Jewish could vote for her, but that’s up to them.”
Trump also said something a bit unusual pertaining to Iran and the possibility of a future US war on Tehran…

He said in social media statement that Iran must be wiped out if it ever carries out an assassination against a future President Trump.
The comment appeared in follow-up to Netanyahu’s fiery Wednesday speech before Congress. The prime minister focused a lot of the talk on Iran, and described that it remains behind “all the terrorism” and “all the killing”. He then asserted that the Islamic Republic “brazenly threatened to assassinate President Trump.”

Fluoride Exposure during Pregnancy Linked to Neurobehavioral Issues in Children
Pregnant women who drink fluoridated water are exposing their babies to a significantly increased risk of serious neurobehavioral issues in childhood, according to a new study.
Just under 75% of the US population receives a fluoridated water supply at a targeted concentration of 0.7 milligrams per liter.
The new research, published in JAMA Network Open, found that this targeted concentration is enough to increase the risk of neurobehavioral issues in children at age three, and that a 0.68 milligram per liter increase in fluoride exposure could double the risk of a child displaying such issues.
Animal studies have consistently shown that high levels of fluoride exposure cause serious changes to neurobiochemical changes, and that fluoride can cross the placental barrier between a mother and her child.
But recent human studies from Mexico and Canada have suggested that even low levels of exposure during pregnancy could be linked to lower IQ, reduced cognitive function and increased symptoms of ADHD.
The new study took 229 mother-child pairs from the Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental and Social Stressors (MADRES) cohort, which consists of mainly Hispanic women living in urban Los Angeles, California. The participants were recruited during prenatal care visits between 2015 and 2020.
The researchers took single spot urine samples from the mothers during their third trimester of pregnancy (weeks 29 to 40). The samples were analyzed for urinary fluoride levels, as an index of total fluoride intake. The median urinary fluoride concentration among the mothers was 0.76 milligrams per liter.
When the children reached the age of three years, their mothers completed the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), a commonly used measure of children’s cognitive development and behaviour. The CBCL includes 99 items that assess a range of behavioral and emotional problems, from depression and withdrawal to attention problems and aggression, and diagnosable conditions like ADHD and autism-spectrum disorders.
A key finding of the study was that a 0.68 milligram per liter increase in maternal urinary fluoride levels during pregnancy was associated with nearly double the odds of the child scoring in the borderline clinical or clinical range for total neurobehavioral problems.
As well as being associated with an overall increase in the risk of neurobehavioral problems, higher fluoride exposure was also associated with specific issues. A 0.68 milligram per liter increase was associated with a 13.54% increase in scores for emotionally reactive behaviors, for example, and a 19.60% increase in somatic complaints.
There was also an 11.29% increase in anxiety problems and an 18.53% increase in autism-spectrum problems.
“Women with higher fluoride exposure levels in their bodies during pregnancy tended to rate their 3-year-old children higher on overall neurobehavioral problems and internalizing symptoms, including emotional reactivity, anxiety and somatic complaints,” said Tracy Bastain, an associate professor at the University of Southern California and senior author of the study.
“I think this is important evidence, given that it’s the first U.S.-based study and findings are quite consistent with the other studies published in North America with comparable fluoride exposure levels,” added the study’s lead investigator Ashley Malin.
“Conducting a nationwide U.S. study on this topic would be important, but I think the findings of the current study and recent studies from Canada and Mexico suggest that there is a real concern here.”
