Warren Buffett Sued by Shareholder Who Was Arrested at 2023 Shareholders’ Meeting for Raising Bill Gates/Jeffrey Epstein Issue

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has filed a federal lawsuit in Omaha against Berkshire Hathaway and its Chairman, Warren Buffett. The lawsuit, seeking monetary damages, stems from actions taken by the company during last year's shareholders’ meeting where NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty raised the issue of the reputational risk to the company posed by Buffett holding the posts of both Chairman and CEO. Flaherty cited Buffett’s strong public identification with Bill Gates, and Gates relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Flaherty had his microphone cut, was ejected from the arena and was arrested. Charges against Flaherty were quickly dropped by the local prosecutor. Flaherty is scheduled again to speak tomorrow at the Berkshire shareholder’s meeting in support of NLPC's proposal that Berkshire disclose the risks of its investments in China.

Hornet Corporation Announces New Investment Opportunities With Innovation and Excellence in Oil & Gas Sector.

Hornet Corporation

Hornet Corporation, an organization deeply rooted in the dynamic world of oil and gas that fervently champions innovation, sustainability, and excellence at every turn of its operations, announces new opportunities in the industry for accredited investors. Ronald “Ron” C. Filer, a seasoned industry veteran and a proud resident of Hendersonville, Tennessee, brings over 20 years of invaluable experience in the energy sector to his role as the Chief Operating Officer at Hornet Corporation. A dedicated family man passionate about the oil industry, Filer is deeply resolute in guiding Hornet Corporation's strategic initiatives and investment ventures. Filer is well-known for his commitment to integrity and building strong partnerships as he fuels Hornet Corporation's efforts to remain a cornerstone of energy development in the Appalachian Basin. Investing in oil drilling projects entails inherent risks, such as dry holes. Filer and Hornet Corporation don't shy away from this as they acknowledge this reality, exclusively partnering with accredited investors who understand the industry complexities while recognizing the unique potential opportunity for significant revenue with substantial tax advantages associated with the oil and gas industry. Filer's mission is reflected in his approach to working with each accredited investor. He provides every qualified accredited investor with the knowledge and ethical insights needed to help make informed decisions while diversifying their portfolio in a way that works best for them. Through these exclusive live webinar events, Flier will provide streamlined information to accredited investors about Hornet's investment opportunities. Investing in oil and gas offers investors the potential for attractive revenue(s) driven by factors such as global demand and technological advancements in extraction methods. As economies continue to grow, the demand for petroleum products seems to increase significantly, including the use of oil directly and indirectly in producing alternative energy sources. This steady demand can translate into recurring revenue for sophisticated, accredited investors through partnering with companies like Hornet Corporation in its oil and gas drilling opportunities. Moreover, investing in oil and gas can offer significant tax advantages. One of the most prominent tax benefits is the ability to deduct intangible drilling costs (IDCs). These costs include expenses related to drilling, such as labor, fuel, and supplies. The IRS Tax Code allows investors to deduct a significant portion of these costs in the year they are incurred, providing immediate tax relief and potentially reducing taxable income. Filer points out that these breaks are frequently unknown to many investors, including the investor's tax professional. There are further tax breaks related to oil and gas investing, such as depletion allowance and other optional advantages. Direct investing in oil and gas drilling ventures can provide opportunities for tax-deferred income through partnerships or direct participation programs. "Through dedication and a thorough understanding of the oil and gas sector, we foster collaborative and informed engagements with our accredited investors. Our focus on integrity and strong partner relationships ensures that we develop long-lasting relationships with our investors," says Filer. As Hornet Corporation continues to forge ahead in its pursuit of exploring, drilling, developing, and finding big oil, investors have peace of mind knowing they are in capable hands.

Older Americans Are Facing a Loneliness Crisis:

YourUpdateTV

Media tour conducted to discuss how AmeriCorps Seniors can help by fostering connections and providing purpose. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/dcH7-VsQaYQ Older adults are especially vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation, which can have a serious effect on health, according to a recent report issued by the U.S. Surgeon General. Chronic loneliness (persistent feelings of isolation and/or a lack of companionship) can adversely affect mental, cognitive, and physical health, general well-being and even longevity. However, there are ways to overcome loneliness and volunteering might be the answer. AmeriCorps Seniors is helping older adults form connections in their community, provide purpose and improve their lives through volunteering. After two years of volunteering with AmeriCorps Seniors, 78% of those who reported more than five symptoms of depression at the beginning of the study said that they felt less depressed two years later. 88% of those who first described a lack of companionship said they felt less isolated after two years. AmeriCorps is the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps Seniors focuses on engaging adults ages 55 and up in service in their local communities. Through three signature programs, R-S-V-P, the Foster Grandparent Program and the Senior Companion Program, AmeriCorps Seniors provides a space for older adults to take charge of this moment in life and use their time in impactful ways. Each year, AmeriCorps Seniors matches more than ONE HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND Americans with service opportunities. For example, Shelley Brosnan, a volunteer with AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP through Volunteer Fairfax, Fairfax, Va., said, “Giving back is so very important. I’ve been volunteering for most of my adult life. Volunteering allows me to connect with my community and make it a better place. I also love the social aspects and meeting people who share my interests. We have a chance to help others and form new relationships, which has grown my social circle.” RSVP offers flexible scheduling and a diverse mix of opportunities. The Foster Grandparent Program pairs volunteers with children and youth in mentoring and tutoring relationships. Lastly, the Senior Companion Program provides a helping hand to other older adults and those with disabilities. They also support caregivers through respite services.

We are excited about the future as we embark on this new chapter under a unified symbol that reflects more closely with our long-term objectives." About The Majuba Hill Copper Project The Nevada Project contains historic underground mines that produced 2.8 million pounds of copper. In the NI 43-101 Report: “ Technical Report for the Majuba Hill Copper Project, Pershing County, Nevada, USA”, Jeffrey M. Bickel, C.P.G. described the copper mineralization and developed a 3D block model that measured 50 million tonnes to 100 million tonnes of copper mineralization ranging from 0.15% Cu to 0.30% Cu, with potential for a higher-grade zone of 10 million tonnes to 20 million tonnes grading between 0.40 % Cu and 0.80% Cu. This outlines an initial and significantly expandable potential of 660 million pounds of copper. Copper hit a 2-Year high of USD $4.66 per pound on April 29 th, 2024. 1 Table 1   Exploration An exploration corridor is emerging as the primary focus zone based on recent and historic drilling, geochemistry, and geophysics. Core drilling intersected a thick oxide zone that outcrops at the surface and extends up to 550 meters (1804 feet) deep. Copper enrichment is shown by deeper zones of native copper intersecting beneath the overlying copper oxides. The Company is gearing up for an important exploration year in 2024, with plans to significantly expand drilling efforts aimed at exploring the depth and breadth of copper mineralization, which could define the Nevada Project's potential and future development.

Tolu Minerals unveils significant polymetallic potential at Mt Penck

Tolu Minerals Ltd

Tolu Minerals Ltd (ASX:TOK) managing director and CEO Iain Macpherson sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss recently re-evaluated historical drill results from the Mt Penck Project in Papua New Guinea, revealing substantial intersections of gold, copper, lead and zinc, marking a significant shift in the project's perceived potential. Previously regarded primarily as a gold and silver prospect, Mt Penck now emerges as a key polymetallic site. The historical data highlights include polymetallic feeder zones with notable assays such as 2 metres at 2.05 g/t gold, 43 g/t silver, more than 1% lead, and 7.4% zinc from 27 metres, including 1 metre at 2.36 g/t gold and 65.1 g/t silver from 28 metres. Another remarkable intersection was 6 metres at 9.08 g/t gold and 54 g/t silver, with additional significant amounts of copper, lead and zinc from 88 metres. The project's potential is underscored by these findings, with specific areas like Kavola, Kavola East and Kavola West identified as highly prospective for further exploration. A recently deployed airborne magnetotelluric survey is anticipated to refine these targets, potentially guiding more precise drilling efforts. Additionally, a suite of geophysical chargeability targets has been identified, requiring further investigation. These targets, along with a newly discovered large sulphide polymetallic zone marked by a 1.5-kilometre diameter area of surface alteration and low conductivity, suggest the presence of extensive sub-surface mineralised structures. The project, located 56 kilometres from Kimbe’s deepwater port on New Britain Island and accessible by reliable roads, is set to undergo an extensive exploration and drilling program, following the insights gained from the airborne survey. Macpherson expressed optimism about the project’s scale potential and its inclusion in the recent survey, anticipating forthcoming exploration updates.
