A gruesome killing is under investigation after a man posted a social media video showing what he claimed was his father’s decapitated head and ranting about the Biden administration and the border crisis while declaring himself the new acting president of the United States under martial law.

The video circulated for hours on YouTube – garnering more than 5,000 views – before it was taken down. Justin Mohn, 32, now is being held without bond, charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and other charges, Pennsylvania court documents show.

The horrifying case comes amid a fraught national political environment and as social media executives – set to be grilled Wednesday by Congress – have been under fire for allowing graphic and sometimes violent videos to be posted and remain on their sites.

Police started investigating Mohn after a man in his 60s was found beheaded and covered in blood Tuesday, CNN affiliate WPVI reported.

In the video, the man identifying himself as Mohn apparently reads from a written statement and at one point holds up what appears to be a bloodied head inside a clear plastic bag. He says his father, who was a federal employee for over 20 years, was a traitor to his country.

“The federal government of America has declared war on its citizens and the American states. America is rotting from the inside out as far left, woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities,” he says in the video.

The suspect was identified as the victim’s son, Middletown Township Police Chief Joseph Bartorilla told CNN. He fled in a vehicle more than 100 miles to Fort Indiantown Gap, where he was arrested near a National Guard training base by civilian police with assistance from Pennsylvania State Police, Bartorilla said. The vehicle was recovered.

“YouTube has strict policies prohibiting graphic violence and violent extremism,” the company told CNN Wednesday in a statement. “The video was removed for violating our graphic violence policy and Justin Mohn’s channel was terminated in line with our violent extremism policies. Our teams are closely tracking to remove any re-uploads of the video.”

It is unclear whether Mohn has an attorney; CNN has reached out to the Bucks County public defender for comment. He was arraigned early Wednesday via video, according to WPVI. A judge ordered him held without bond, court records show; his next hearing is set for February 8.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office will hold a news conference on Wednesday, Bartorilla said.

“I think the neighborhood can rest easy because I think they were a little uneasy for a while, before they knew where the person of interest was,” he told WPVI overnight.

Morgan Stanley Cuts China Stock Targets, Raises Estimates for Japan’s Topix Gauge

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/morgan-stanley-cuts-china-stock-024723866.html (Bloomberg) -- Morgan Stanley cut its targets for major Chinese stock indexes while raising estimates for Japanese benchmarks, as the performance gap between the two continues to widen. The brokerage lowered the year-end target for the MSCI China Index to 53 from 60 previously, based on slower earnings growth and valuation assumptions. That implies almost no upside for the benchmark for the year. Meanwhile, it lifted projections for the Topix gauge to 2,800 from 2,600. The “divergence in performance year to date reflecting shifts in geopolitical, macro and earnings fundamentals” is driving investor portfolio re-allocation, strategists led by Jonathan Garner wrote in a note Thursday. Chinese equities have lost out to their Japanese peers as global investors continue to seek alternatives to the world’s second-biggest economy. China’s latest attempts to boost the market have done little to sustainably lift sentiment as concerns remain over the nation’s economic recovery and property crisis. Morgan Stanley downgraded Chinese stocks to equal-weight in August, saying it was time to take profit in a rally stirred by government stimulus pledges at the time. The China gauge has lost about 18% since. It further trimmed targets later in the month to reflect mounting growth risks. On the other hand, Japanese benchmarks have hit fresh 34-year highs, and investors are betting the rally can extend as the country emerges from deflation and listed companies’ corporate governance reforms accelerate.

Nearly 65,000 pregnancies from rape have occurred in states with abortion bans, study estimates

In the study, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers from Planned Parenthood, Resound Research for Reproductive Health and academic institutions across the US used a combination of federal surveys on crime and sexual violence to estimate that there were about 520,000 rapes that led to 64,565 pregnancies in the time since abortion bans have been enacted in 14 states – ranging by state from four to 18 months ago. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/24/health/rape-pregnancy-abortion/index.html

1.47 billion vehicles on road worldwide. 67.2 million vehicles were sold in 2022. 67.2 million/1.47 billion = 0.0457

Here’s About How Many Cars Are There in The World in 2023

To put it simply, nobody has an exact car count for the entire globe, but a fair estimate can be made using data from automotive industry research firm Hedges & Company. The number of cars in the world is estimated to be around 1.47 billion vehicles.

You might think that the U.S. has the most cars in the world but that trophy actually goes to China, which is one of the largest automotive markets and producers. In fact, the country had around 415 million registered vehicles on the road as of 2022 and did a lot to help Asia win the crown for most vehicles on the road at 543 million.

Behind Asia is Europe, which houses 14 major automakers according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. Europe has around 413 million cars on its roads, which surpasses North America's 358 million. And in case you were wondering, the U.S. makes up 78% of North America's car population.

The full list broken down by region is below:

1. Asia: 543 million
2. Europe: 413 million
3. North America: 358 million
4. South America: 84 million
5. Middle East: 50 million
6. Africa: 26 million
7. Antarctica: 50 (approximately)

What the U.S. Could Learn From Japan To Reach Net-Zero

https://www.newsweek.com/what-us-could-learn-japan-reach-net-zero-opinion-1863302 Japan, the world's sixth largest greenhouse gas contributor, has ambitious climate goals—to reduce 2030 emissions by 46 percent and reach carbon neutrality by 2050. These goals are particularly impressive considering Japan relied on fossil fuels for 73 percent of its electricity supply in 2022. Interestingly, Japan's decarbonization strategy depends on natural gas both as a transition fuel, and in decarbonized forms, as a future clean energy source. Japan's approach is sure to provide valuable lessons for the United States and other markets that rely heavily on natural gas and shed light on the future role of natural gas through the energy transition. Japan's energy market is comparable to the U.S. According to the Bank of Japan, Japan's CO2 emissions per real GDP is on par with the U.S. (0.20 kg/dollar in Japan; 0.22 kg/dollar in the U.S.), and higher than western Europe. The power sector accounts for 37 percent of Japan's GHG emissions, comparable to 30 percent in the U.S. Natural gas accounts for a comparable percentage of electricity generation in Japan and the U.S. (40 percent; 42 percent). ADVERTISEMENTSCROLL TO CONTINUE READING The U.S. and Japan share similar perspectives on diversifying climate change abatement strategies beyond renewables—including boosting investment in nuclear, and the potential of hydrogen and synthetic fuels like e-methane to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors. Both countries have passed legislation to support climate investment—notably, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the U.S., and Japan's establishment of the Green Innovation Fund in 2021 and the 2023 GX Promotion Act. Natural gas will play an important role in Japan's 2030 energy transition, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). Shifting current oil and coal production to natural gas will account for 3 percent of Japan's 2030 CO2 reduction goals. Switching to natural gas in the industrial sector could account for another 5 percent reduction. Japan is also investing in a smart, distributed energy network that can switch from renewables to gas leveraging digital technologies, and in energy recovery technology known as turboexpanders. U.S. and Japanese national flags are displayed U.S. and Japanese national flags are displayed on a street. TOMOHIRO OHSUMI/GETTY IMAGES "While the gas industry has plans to meet Japan's ambitious goals for 2050, solutions that are readily available and scalable are needed today to start curbing emissions while we work to reduce cost and expand the scale of future fuels like hydrogen and [electric natural gas] eNG. TB Global Technologies Ltd. (TBG) is committed to deploying existing technology to decarbonize natural gas today while investing in future energy solutions," a representative from TBG, a solution provider for companies in the global energy industry based in Japan, told Newsweek.

The anticipated breakdown is 5 percent hydrogen (directly), 5 percent biogas/low-carbon fuels combined with carbon capture, and 90 percent synthetic methane or eNG. eNG is produced from hydrogen and CO2 through methanation. While burning eNG releases CO2, it is considered a carbon neutral fuel because the CO2 emitted can be captured and reused to produce more eNG in a closed loop system. eNG is an interesting potential fuel because it can be transported through existing natural gas infrastructure, handled with existing equipment, and may offer a lower cost alternative to renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Furthermore, eNG offers a solution to decarbonize hard to abate sectors like transportation and industry because it can be efficiently stored and transported.

Japan's energy suppliers are playing an instrumental role in advancing research into producing eNG at scale. Tokyo Gas is working on technology for electrolysis to lower the cost of clean hydrogen production. Japanese petroleum company Eneos announced plans to study the feasibility of a large-scale e-methane facility. A Japanese energy company consortium announced plans to explore a hydrogen and ammonia supply chain within the Osaka industrial zone. In this way, e-fuels like e-methane and ammonia, green hydrogen, and technology like carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) offer interesting opportunities to invest in a cluster of technologies that will fortify energy companies through the energy transition. ADVERTISEMENTSCROLL TO CONTINUE READING As Japan's natural gas industry continues to play a critical role in helping Japan achieve its climate goals, natural gas companies in the U.S. should look for opportunities to partner with their Japanese counterparts to maximize the impact of investment in natural gas research and development that can fuel the future of a cleaner natural gas industry.
