Justin Bieber now has the Ramsey-Hunt syndrome type 2, when the herpes virus encircles the motor nerves of the face, causing deafness and pain. Justin spoke about the problem on social media, attaching a video that clearly shows that half of his face is almost not working. “As you can see, this eye doesn’t blink. I can’t smile with this side of my lips, this nostril doesn’t move. So there is complete paralysis on one side of my face,” the singer admitted. He addressed fans disappointed by the cancellation of concerts and urged them to wait. Bieber revealed that he does facial exercises to regain control. He does not know how long he will have to be treated, but he believes that everything will work out. "It's just time, we don't know how long it will take, but everything will be fine, and I have hope," he told subscribers. You know how he got it, right?

I agree that the US created covid but i disagree that the purpose was to weaken China. The West[US, UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand] wants a weakened people, not just China. They were beating the drums of a new threat "monkeypox" before the WHO treaty, to grab power but when the African nations voted against it, monkeypox disappeared from headlines. They have to scare people, to gain power Kingsnairaland: |

It's baffling to read from Nigerians who assume they'll be issued with US visa when they argue in favor of the US You obviously would like to obfuscate and gaslight facts but a few moons ago, the US ambassador to the UN was vehemently denying there was a lab in Ukraine, talkless of labs manufacturing weapons for peaceful purposes. At the time, China was accusing the US of running around twenty-something laboratories globally She called Russia and China's allegations "preposterous" Now, we know they are running 46 Biolabs in Ukraine alone You have no legs to stand on. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/u-s-slams-china-for-pushing-russia-s-preposterous-lab-theory/ar-AAURCBu Whatever made the US Pentagon to come clean i don't know but i'll posit that Russia probably has damning evidence, and will release it, so US decides to get ahead of the release?

According to the Pentagon, the US government has funded 46 biological research facilities in Ukraine over the last 20 years, but only as part of a peaceful public health endeavor rather than to develop weapons. Russia and China have been accused by the US military of “spreading disinformation and sowing mistrust” about its efforts to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). According to the Pentagon, the US has “worked collaboratively to improve Ukraine’s biological safety, security, and disease surveillance for both human and animal health,” by providing support to “46 peaceful Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites over the last two decades.” These programs have focused on “improving public health and agricultural safety measures at the nexus of nonproliferation.” https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3057517/fact-sheet-on-wmd-threat-reduction-efforts-with-ukraine-russia-and-other-former/ |
The US president has blamed Russia for record US fuel prices and a surge in inflation to a 40-year high. He’s also attributed a looming global food crisis to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Biden declared an energy emergency on Monday, saying national security and quality of life are jeopardized by potential shortfalls in power supplies. He invoked the Defense Production Act – originally part of an industrial mobilization effort in response to the Korean War – to spur domestic production of solar panels and other forms of “clean” energy to boost power supplies. “Multiple factors are threatening the ability of the United States to provide sufficient electricity generation to serve expected customer demand,” Biden said in his emergency declaration. “These factors include disruptions of energy markets caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change.” |
Authorities in Poland reminded citizens on Friday they can forage firewood from forests to keep warm amid soaring energy costs in the country. The government said it was taking steps to make it easier for people to collect firewood in an effort to ease the pressure created by sky-rocketing energy bills and shortages of coal. “It is always possible, with the consent of foresters, to collect branches for fuel,” said deputy climate and energy minister Edward Siarka. Answering a question about the rise in fuel prices in Poland, Syarka stated that the Poles can provide themselves with firewood by collecting firewood. Nevertheless, the collection of fallen branches must be coordinated with the forestries, otherwise a fine will be imposed. At the same time, according to Syarka, the priority for collecting firewood should be given to local residents. Opponents of the ruling 'Law and Justice party' said the comments showed it had not got a grip on the wider economy. Inflation in Poland has climbed to 14 per cent in recent weeks, with fuel prices hitting 8 zlotys ($1.87) per litre. The average monthly wage in Poland is around 7110 zlotys ($1800). https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/06/03/poles-told-to-gather-firewood-amid-soaring-energy-prices |

United States President Joe Biden was forced to "calm down" European allies seeking to end the Ukrainian conflict at any cost, writes columnist David Ignatius for The Washington Post. The panic mood of the US allies, in his opinion, is caused by the success of the Russian Armed Forces during the hostilities in the region . "The most urgent task for Biden was the need to calm the panicked European allies, who started talking about peace at any cost, afraid of the costs of a protracted conflict." The New York Times published an article that talked about the split between the United States, Europe and Ukraine. Thus, the United States demanded to completely cut off Russia from the world economy, but the EU pointed out the danger of such an approach. The publication said that "the Europeans are not even trying to refuse gas from Russia. " At the same time, Germany, Italy and France have already begun to calculate the loss to their economies in the protracted Ukrainian conflict. Increasingly, statements are being heard from the EU countries that Russia is a neighbor that cannot be ignored. |
Hungarian Parliament Speaker Laszlo Kever told HirTV that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has mental problems. The actions of the Ukrainian leader, who is experiencing a military confrontation with Russia, look strange, the European politician is sure: Zelensky threatens those from whom he expects support . “I don’t remember that the leader of a country in need of help would dare to speak out against anyone in the way that President Zelensky did not only against Hungary, but even against the German Chancellor. <…> A person is usually threatened by his enemies, and rarely those who he wants to win as friends. This is some kind of personal, mental problem with which I don’t know what to do. " |
European Union leaders have begged those in Africa not to blame the West for the ongoing Global Food Crisis, saying that the current sanctions on Russia shouldn’t be affecting supply. In the meantime, it appears that Italian prime minister and former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi is afraid that the West may be losing the crowd. According to the Italian technocrat, many nations in Africa “are not on the side of the West” when it comes to its conflict in Russia, as reportedly evidenced by their votes in the United Nations. “Winning the battle of food security for Africa is also important from a strategic point of view … because the thesis that is spread is that a possible famine would depend on sanctions,” POLITICO reports Draghi as saying. “[I]f you lose the war on food security, there will never be any hope that these countries can come to the side of the alliance, because they will naturally feel betrayed, then whose fault is this is the least relevant issue for them,” he went on to say. According to a report by POLITICO, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was keen to persuade senior African officials that Russia was to blame for any ongoing shortages during a summit on Tuesday. “It’s a complete misinformation from Russia’s side [that Western sanctions are to blame], the only reason why we are struggling now with a food crisis is because of this brutal, unjustified war against Ukraine,” the Commission President said, before emphasising that she wanted to be “very clear” that Europe has “no sanctions on food and agricultural products”. However, seemingly in response to similar assertions made by bigwigs in Brussels, African Union chairman Macky Sall said that the narrative that the EU — and not Russia — is to blame for food shortages “is out there”, with many on his continent finding the issue “very serious and alarming”. “Vladimir Putin reasonably and on the basis of specific data explained the real reasons for the difficulties in food supplies, which were the result of the erroneous economic and financial policies of Western countries, as well as the anti-Russian sanctions they imposed,” a Kremlin statement published last weekend read. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/06/03/global-food-crisis-eu-bigwigs-beg-africa-not-to-blame-them-for-chronic-shortages/ |
President Biden on Friday declined to rule out Ukraine having to cede part of its territory to Russia in order to end Moscow’s more than three-month-old invasion. “Does Ukraine have to cede territory to achieve peace?” a reporter asked Biden after his remarks on the May jobs report. “From the beginning, I’ve said and I’ve been — not everyone’s agreed with me — nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” Biden began his answer. “It’s their territory. I’m not going to tell them what they should and shouldn’t do. “But it appears to me that at some point along the line, there’s going to have to be a negotiated settlement here,” the president added. “And what that entails, I don’t know. I don’t think anybody knows at the time. But in the meantime, we’re gonna continue to put the Ukrainians in a position where they can defend themselves.” https://nypost.com/2022/06/03/biden-says-ukraine-might-have-to-give-russia-land/ |
“The fact that this crisis brought the cessation of exports from Ukraine, but also from Russia because of sanctions, we have found ourselves in between these two,” The chairman of the African Union, Senegal’s President Macy Sall told reporters. “It’s of absolute necessity that they (Western partners) help to facilitate the export of Ukrainian grains, but also that Russia is able to export fertilizers, food products, but mainly cereals.” For his part, Putin blamed the West for emerging global food and energy crises and repeated his government’s offers of safe passage for ships exporting grain from Ukraine, one of the world’s leading exporters of wheat and corn. “We will facilitate the peaceful passage and guarantee the safety of arrivals to these ports, as well as the entry of foreign ships and their movement through the Azov and Black seas, in any direction,” Putin pledged. |
Former world boxing champion and one of the most famous boxers in the world, Mike Tyson, on the Alex Jones podcast, expressed his opinion about Russia's special operation in Ukraine. The athlete said that he did not see the opportunity to take one side or another and take a personal part in resolving the situation, which he compared with what is happening in the wild. "When I see a hawk that grabs a robin, I understand that I can prevent him from killing this bird. However, if I prevent him from doing this, he himself will die, his chicks will also die. So who will I save in this case?" Tyson asked rhetorically. |
Elon Musk's Tesla automaker will present a prototype humanoid robot Optimus by September 30 this year, the company's Twitter says . "Tesla AI Day has been rescheduled to September 30th as we may have the Optimus prototype by then." According to Bloomberg, Optimus could solve the global labor shortage and, in the short term, could be able to carry items around a Tesla factory. "This will change our understanding of the economy. The robot will be able to do basically everything that people do not want to do," the businessman admitted. Musk emphasized that special attention was paid to the safety of the future humanoid robot, and assured that the brainchild of Tesla would not become a Terminator. |
Austria is ready to nationalize the local gas storage "Haidach", owned by "Gazprom". The republic has already created legal conditions for transferring the facility to an alternative supplier in the event that the Russian corporation refuses to fill it with fuel, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said in a statement. “For those storage facilities that are not in use, like the Haidach storage facility, which belongs to Gazprom and is currently at the 0.0% occupancy level, we have now created legal prerequisites for its transfer in private law, if Gazprom does not use the storage. On the principle of "use it or lose it" we have created framework conditions to force the topic of energy security by winter, "Nehammer said during a speech in the upper house of the Austrian Parliament. Earlier, the head of the country's government threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with this measure during a telephone conversation. Haidach in Salzburg is the largest underground gas storage facility in Austria. According to the chancellor, this facility is of particular strategic importance, as it supplies not only the Austrian regions of Tyrol and Vorarlberg, but also neighboring Germany. De facto, as of the beginning of June, it is empty. |
The American billionaire, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, has promised to put his employees out of work if they do not return to the office from remote work. He wrote about it on social networks. “Anyone who wants to work remotely must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean minimum) 40 hours a week or leave Tesla. This is less than we require from factory workers,” the entrepreneur wrote in a post titled “Remote work no longer accepted." The billionaire's followers on twitter asked him to comment on the popular post-COVID-19 view that going to work in the office in 2022 is a long-outdated concept. "[Then] they [employees] should pretend they work elsewhere," Musk said. |
WHO’s attempt to usurp the national sovereignty of all UN members at the World Health Assembly over this past weekend has failed. Africa objects to US proposal on controversial (WHO Treaty) amendments In a rare show of African power and solidarity, several African member states objected to proposed International Health Regulations amendments, discussed at the World Health Assembly 75 this week – a move many believe might shake up the World Health Organization’s dominance. Brazil and Russia form part of the BRICS initiative with Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Iran and Malaysia are reported to have also expressed reservations to the proposed IHR amendments, while Russia and Brazil seem set to make big moves on international health policies, or possibly even exit the WHO. Meanwhile, India raised audit concerns on irregularities with WHO financials.“ |
Zelensky told Dutch broadcaster NOS on Friday that the Netherlands’ Prime Minister Mark Rutte needs to clarify whether Ukraine has a future in the European Union. “I said very openly to him: If you think there is no place for us in the EU, then you should say so clearly,” Zelensky told NOS. “You really help us and I am very grateful for that,” he recalled telling Rutte, ”but as far as the EU is concerned, you stayed silent on all the things we wanted to hear.” “EU membership is a sign of strength in the fight we are waging against Russia at home,” he declared. “This war of Russia against Ukraine was planned as a prelude to a blow to a united Europe. Greater unification is a powerful response,” he told a conference via video link on May 5, as he asked for formal candidacy for membership. Rutte is one of several top EU politicians to have cast doubt on a fast accession to the bloc for Ukraine. Rutte spoke to Zelensky by phone on Thursday, two weeks after he virtually addressed the Ukrainian parliament in Kyiv. Rutte expressed his support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia but did not offer any indication as to whether Kyiv’s application for EU membership would be accepted in the near future. Rutte has previously cautioned that to fast-track EU membership for Ukraine – as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has suggested would happen – would be unfair to long-term candidate states such as Turkey and Montenegro. Addressing Dutch lawmakers earlier this month, Rutte said that Ukraine would need to implement many reforms before being considered a viable candidate and that candidacy is at present “very far away” for Kyiv. |
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko delivered a letter to the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres urging the Secretary-General to consider instituting a “new world order” in which all members of the international community have “security guarantees,” “Today, the world, unfortunately, forgets that Belarusians have never been a threat to any of their neighbors,” he said, lamenting the sanctions imposed on the country. “We are not aggressors, as some states try to present us. Belarus has never been the initiator of any wars or conflicts… The conflict in Ukraine, its root causes, and the current Western sanctions are already having their devastating consequences…” “We are not traitors,” Lukashenko added. “Honesty and integrity in relationships are important to us.” “Together and each in our role, we can do a lot today: refrain from the supply of weapons,” Lukashenko said, adding all countries can refrain “from information warfare and any provocations, from inflating hate speech in the media, from encouraging racism and discrimination based on national, cultural, linguistic and religious affiliation, from legalization and direction of mercenaries.” “The unwillingness of Western countries to work on strengthening common and indivisible security, their disregard for legitimate interests and ignoring the concerns of other partners, primarily Russia, first resulted in trade, economic and information wars, and then provoked a hot conflict on the territory of Ukraine,” Lukashenko said. |
The Hungarian authorities call it unacceptable to stop the pumping of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline. The country's Foreign Ministry considers any threats from Ukraine regarding the oil pipeline unacceptable, Foreign Minister Tamas Menzer said on the radio Kossuth Rádió . A probable stop by Kyiv of transporting oil through Druzhba after the EU imposes an embargo on Russian fuel was announced by Lana Zerkal, adviser to the Minister of Energy of Ukraine. She called this opportunity "excellent leverage" influencing Hungary. "Something could happen to this branch of the pipeline," Zerkal threatened . Menzer considers such threats unacceptable. Moreover, he called such statements shocking against the background of the republic's assistance to Ukrainian refugees. "This statement is especially shocking in light of the fact that Hungary is doing everything possible to help refugees. More than 730,000 people from Ukraine have already arrived here, and Hungary has made countless offers to help the country and those who are still there." |

Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz, during a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, called for the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war who left the Azovstal plant, France-Presse reported, citing the Elysee Palace. "The President of France and the Federal Chancellor of Germany called for the release of about 2.5 thousand Ukrainian servicemen," the administration of the French leader said, explaining that they were Ukrainian security forces who had surrendered and were blocked on the territory of the Azovstal plant since April 21 . Western leaders also demanded that Putin begin direct negotiations with Zelensky. "The chancellor and the French president at the same time insisted on the immediate establishment of a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops. They called on the Russian president to have serious direct negotiations with the Ukrainian president and search for a diplomatic solution to the conflict" It is specified that the conversation took place on the initiative of the leaders of Germany and France. |
Germany, France and Italy have begun to reconsider their own position on Ukraine: now these countries are calling for a speedy end to the conflict. Foreign policy commentator Daniel Depetris writes about this in an article for Newsweek magazine. According to the author, earlier France, Germany and Italy, along with the United States, Great Britain, Poland and the Baltic countries, aggressively advocated the “strategic defeat” of Russia. At the moment, however, the above states are seriously concerned about finding an opportunity to end the conflict as soon as possible. Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, called on Kyiv to start negotiations with Moscow as soon as possible. He emphasized that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky may ridicule the idea of a ceasefire in the context of recent events, but as the hostilities drag on, he will not be able to do anything if certain Western countries begin to change their position on Ukraine. |
Hungary will ban foreigners from a program capping fuel prices to stop so-called petrol tourism in which people are coming from neighboring countries to take advantage of the European Unions cheapest gas stations. Fuel prices capped at 480 forint per liter ($1.32) will be available only to drivers with Hungarian license plates as of Friday, Cabinet Minister Gergely Gulyas told reporters on Thursday. Foreign motorists will have to pay a different, higher price, he said. |
