9 OUT OF 10 AMERICANS WOULD PERISH WITHOUT POWER FOR OVER A YEAR?

Rural African students study with the help of a kerosene lantern and some become doctors and engineers.

In yesterday’s (April 2, 2016) United Voice News Magazine, I read that ISIS attacks in Brussels, Paris, and California may be just the beginning of an unprecedented plot to bring America to its knees by targeting our nation’s scandalously vulnerable electric grid, warn officials at the Pentagon and FBI.

The report further reveals that: On the conventional battlefield, ISIS can’t beat America with brute military force because America is too strong for them. 

The interesting part of the article is: Everything will be fine, when the power goes out for few hours, but should the power go out for over a year, 9 out of 10 Americans would likely perish.

It really sounds funny to read such news, knowing that there are thousands of villagers in Africa, who have never enjoyed light before since they were born, yet they are the healthiest and happiest people on earth. 

From school, they learn, read and write with the help of only kerosene lanterns.  I’m back in what I have repeated over a hundred times. Are Africans tougher and stronger than 

Europeans and Americans?

When it comes to issues pertaining to Africa, only a few people interested, but learning something from Africa, in regard to survival and discipline in schools, will be beneficial to Europeans and Americans if they put pride behind them. 

Frankly speaking, without any ammunition, guns or war tanks, Africa will defeat Europe and America if they stand toe to toe in a physical fight, because Africans are physically strong.

Africans don’t need the power to live or survive. They already have a long life span without electricity, before the vaccine against malaria was discovered and before they were hit by medical crime at the hands of Europe and America.

Africa needs support, healing, and development, not underdevelopment and depopulation because that rejected continent, will one day be a safe haven for Europeans and Americans.

ROBERT DE NIRO's THREAT OF VAXXED AND THE VACCINE INDUSTRY

Robert De Niro

By Jon Rappoport: Global Research

The actor allegedly talked to Congressman about censored Vaxxed film

On July 26, 2000, the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association published a review by Dr. Barbara Starfield, a revered public-health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. 

Dr. Starfield’s review, ‘Is US health really the best in the world?’, concluded that every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. That’s 2.25 million killings per decade.” – Jon Rappoport, The Starfield Revelation

This is explosive.

This is about a film no one can see because it exposes lunatics and destroyers in the vaccine industry. Here is a quote from the Vaxxed producer and director, after their film was just axed from Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Festival (as reported by Jeremy Gerard, see: “‘Vaxxed’ Filmmakers Accuse De Niro, Tribeca Film Fest Of ‘Censorship’ In Wake Of Cancelation,” 3/26/2016):

To our dismay, we learned today about the Tribeca Film Festival’s decision to reverse the official selection of Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe [trailer],’ said Andrew Wakefield and Del Bigtree (the director and producer, respectively). 

Robert De Niro’s original defense of the film happened Friday after a one-hour conversation between De Niro and Bill Posey, the congressman who has interacted directly and at length with the CDC Whistleblower (William Thompson) and whose team has scrutinized the documents that prove fraud at the CDC. …” (emphasis added)

Okay. So here is the sequence…

One, De Niro, who has an autistic child, decides to screenVaxxed at his Tribeca Festival. It’s a film that reveals lies and crimes and shows there is a causative connection between vaccines and autism.

Two, pressure is applied to De Niro, so he meets with Florida Congressman Bill Posey, who lets him know the film is right on target. Posey knows because he and his team have many pages of documents from CDC researcher, William Thompson, who blew the whistle on vaccine-autism fraud in 2014.

Three, De Niro decides he’ll not only screen the film, but he’ll also introduce it himself, live, onstage.

Four, out of the shadows emerge people who put the screws to De Niro. What do they tell him? His career in film will end? His annual Tribeca Film Festival will go down the toilet? The medical treatment his autistic child is receiving will be cut off? He and his family are now “not safe?”

Five, De Niro backs away and cancels the showing of Vaxxed.

He’s been taught a lesson. Don’t go up against the medical cartel. Keep your mouth shut. Suffer in silence.

Think about this. You can see a film about US drone strikes killing innocent civilians. You can see a film about criminal surveillance of the entire population. 

You can see a film about the CIA overthrowing foreign governments. You can see a film about mega-corporations spewing chemicals into towns, where children are born with defects and adults are dying of cancer.

AIDS AND EBOLA: WILL THE TRUTH EVER COME OUT?

Holland’s Microsurgeon and scientist Johan Van Dongen, a lecturer at the University of Maastricht, in the Netherlands, lost his job after revealing that Aids and Ebola were medical crimes against Africa.

At a recent visit to the residence of the Ambassador of Sierra Leone, Hon Ibrahim Sorie, after speaking over the drastic impact of Ebola, which affected not only the economies of the Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia but the entire African continent, Joel Savage, a freelance journalist in Belgium, asked the Ambassador if he knew that Aids and Ebola were medical bio-weapons against Africa.

According to Mr. Savage, a Dutch Microsurgeon and Scientist called Professor Johan Van Dongen, living in Holland, contacted him to help spread the message to African leaders that the viruses of Aids and Ebola were man-made, engineered from the laboratories by the United States of America and tested on Africans as bio-weapons.

To support his claim, Prof. Dongen sent the copies of his books “Aids and Ebola, the greatest crime in medical history,” which were published in his native Dutch, to Mr. Joel Savage in Belgium, who painstakingly read the books, because of its scientific research and evidence revealing that Aids and Ebola were indeed medical crimes.

Aftermath the publications, the fact that Prof. Dongen has revealed those medical crimes that America, Belgium, Holland, etc, governments are desperately fighting to cover up, wasn’t taken kindly by the Dutch Government. The Dutch professor passed through a marathon of problems, including court actions, eventually losing his job as a university lecturer.

The Ambassador humbly replied to Mr. Savage’s question, saying they have already heard the rumours that Aids and Ebola were medical crimes against Africa, but finding solutions to tackle the disease in the affected countries became a priority to the affected African governments. “It wouldn’t be a good time for witch-hunting.” He said.

Mr. Savage then revealed to the Ambassador that the English version of the Dutch Professor’s book has been written and now available at Amazon.com. The Ambassador then concluded with “The truth will definitely come out.”

The World Health Organization keeps on telling the world that Aids, Ebola, and Lassa Fever are over, but thousands of people are dying of Aids in Africa every day. In a new development, the world ramps up its fight against the Zika virus, West Africa is battling to contain a growing outbreak of Lassa fever with nine people in Benin reported dead.

In Sierra Leone, after four people remained in quarantine on Wednesday, 55 others were declared free of the Ebola virus. In March, villagers in Guinea fled for their lives as the country registers the fifth death in the new outbreak. What’s going on that the World Health Organization and the media wouldn’t like to speak the truth?

There is time for everything. There will be a time there will be no room to contain the lies of the World Health Organization, that’s when the cup is full. The truth will definitely come out no matter how long it takes. 

The resurface of Lassa fever and Ebola in West Africa is enough to tell even the uneducated that Aids, Ebola, and Lassa fever were indeed bio-weapons orchestrated by the United States of America and Europe.

Nigeria: The corrupt political system deals with multinational oil companies

Oil spill in Nigeria, a threat to health and the environment?

By Johan Van Dongen

The Nigeria Report: ‘A Cesspool of Corruption and Crime in the Niger Delta' isn’t difficult to find. This report was already written by Horand Knaup in ‘Der Spiegel Online,’ which speaks for itself.

After my discussion with author Fabestine Providence, the head of Fabestine Providence Nigeria Limited, I’m compelled to find out the connection between the Dutch Shell Company and the corrupt Nigerian regime.

The words of Providence on how corrupt a country can be become a reality after reading the article by Horand Knaup. Yes, the African continent houses many corrupt regimes, as writer Joel Savage and I found out about corrupt African leaders, enabling us to write many articles on this issue affecting the development of Africa.

Fabestine Providence said, "The activities of the corrupt authorities are deeper than you can write about.” His words are still fresh in my mind. Frankly speaking, the corrupt nature of many African leaders is destroying Africa, including those who have collaborated with the Shell company.

It is a fact that most Nigerian authorities are paid by every multinational company involved with Nigeria. They can’t act otherwise. Fabestine Providence wants someone to write a script for a movie about Nigeria’s underworld so that common, suffering Nigerians can understand how the underworld operates and how it finances itself from many sources in the country.

This information may be kept by the Nigerian government as confidential, but it is already in the virtual clouds because the leaked US diplomatic cables revealed just what multinational oil companies are up against in the Niger Delta. 


Security forces are ineffective and involved in dubious oil deals, and the government demands millions in bribes.

Even university students have earned pocket money by working as kidnappers because the kidnap industry employs students during university vacations.

Bombs are used against civilians, and millions are paid to corrupt officials. The US diplomatic cables from the Nigerian cities of Abuja and Lagos paint an unusual, bleak picture of the situation in the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Hardly any of the international oil companies active in the delta publish production figures or report on kidnapping and hostage-taking, yet these are daily occurrences while the civilian population is suffering, even though they have nothing to do with the government’s corrupt schemes.

The central government in Abuja has neglected the delta for decades. It has failed to build schools, hospitals, and roads, and has simply ignored the serious environmental problems. All that mattered was that the oil kept flowing and continued to produce kickbacks for the political elite.

“The Federal Government has not funded one road in the key Niger Delta States in the last ten years,” reads one of the cable messages in February 2009, from the US Consulate in Lagos, citing a high-ranking politician, who could be Babatunde Fashola. In the face of such neglect, organized crime has become rampant in the delta.

Some kidnappers are in bed with the authorities and special military units that sometimes fight rebels in the delta and frequently have a stake in the oil business. 

The rebels, although staging attacks on the multinational oil companies, also sell oil and enjoy police protection. The political elite thrives on the chaotic situation.

Students are not only involved in kidnappings but also in attacking oil platforms and guarding hostages. The same rebel oil traders managed to get Fabestine Providence out of the country. Even inside the Black Axe movement, there is corruption. The students earn $1,071 for three months of vacation.

However, with the Joint Task Force, an army unit pressing them, the job is no longer glamorous but dangerous. Companies that drill oil in Nigeria need to have strong nerves. 

It is hard to obtain reliable information, and rumors circulate wildly. Do the rebels who are targeting the multinationals’ production efforts really have anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down companies’ helicopters, as one message describes? 

Is the Russian energy giant ‘Gazprom’ planning to get into the natural gas business in the country? Another important question is which investors might be participating in a gas pipeline across the Sahara to Algeria?

The 4,000-kilometer pipeline to the Mediterranean coast would likely cost at least €10 billion. According to one cable, the multinationals Total and Gazprom are interested in the project. 

The head of ExxonMobil in Nigeria, however, dismissed the pipeline project as a "fantasy" that would never become a reality because the pipeline is too expensive and politically too risky. Above all, it would not benefit Nigeria, and of course, it will not be surprising that the Dutch Shell Group is involved in corruption.

Bitter complaints are coming from Western oil companies. At a meeting with the US–Africa envoy, Johnnie Carson, oil executives criticized the “amateur technocrats” who are in charge of the oil and gas business on the Nigerian side. The managers said that Nigerian politicians believe that deep-sea drilling would earn them no money. 

Partners from banks and the business world did not understand the business, they said. The government in Abuja had collected 2.5 billion dollars in revenue over the previous two years but had not made any investments in return.

At another meeting, an ExxonMobil manager reported that companies had to calculate for a loss of around 40% for oil transport via overland pipelines in the country, a result of oil theft. 

‘It was more efficient to import refined oil from Europe than to process it in Nigeria itself, he said. The police charged with protecting the pipelines seemed primarily concerned with coordinating the pilfering and letting potential thieves know where they could steal the oil.

One dispatch from Washington reads, "Nigeria's four state-owned refineries have an installed capacity of 445,000 barrels per day. They have a history of fire, sabotage, poor management, lack of turnaround maintenance, and corruption. These elements have limited refinery output to 40 percent of capacity or less.”

In January 2009, one oil executive complained that the already bad situation had gotten worse. Widespread attacks by pirates had led tanker shipping companies to only accept contracts under certain conditions. Nigerian government officials apparently responded by telling her, “Hire more security.”

What about the Israeli involvement? Another oil company protested that high-ranking Nigerians demanded millions in bribes for rights to load tankers. In addition, a top Nigerian prosecutor told a visitor that he would sign a document only if the visitor paid $2 million immediately and another $18 million the next day.

The Nigerian government finds deals involving multinational companies unique in the oil industry. A report dated March 2009 states that "Shell and Total recently revealed that they were forced to loan their Nigerian partners billions of dollars, below-market rates, to support ongoing joint venture operations.”

An oil spill in the Delta State of Nigeria and the threat of  environmental health hazards

US diplomats also referred to a complaint from one of the oil multinational companies about the Nigerian Navy, which the complaint said was totally incapable of protecting oil companies in the delta. 

When rebels attacked an oil platform in the Gulf of Guinea with a total of six speedboats, Shell employees sounded the alarm at 2:30 a.m. It was only at 7:30 p.m., after the attackers had long disappeared, that naval boats arrived, and their primary aim was to obtain supplies of fuel and food from the platform.

Here and there, however, improvements have been reported. Israeli security experts in the Nigerian state of Bayelsa were now going to keep the kidnapper gangs at bay. 

One dispatch reads: In fact, US diplomats write, the Israelis are remarkably active in the Niger Delta. The Israeli military provides equipment and training to the Nigerian special unit that fights rebels in the delta. Back in October 2007, the unit lacked functioning helicopters and armored troop carriers and only had two gunboats.

Now it has more than a hundred vehicles, around two dozen boats, and two helicopters at its disposal. There is apparently one small problem: some members of the unit are deeply involved in dubious oil deals. Thanks to Horand Knaup for all this information, even though it is now publicly known.

I feel more pain and helplessness over the situation of Fabestine Providence, an asylum seeker in the Netherlands, but the Dutch government wouldn’t like to keep him in the country, despite knowing the roots of his problem, since they are part of the corruption and environmental hazard in the Delta of Nigeria.

THE I-THREES: GREAT FEMALE MUSICIANS BEHIND BOB MARLEY

Bob Marley and the I-Threes performing

Music, it's like my passport and water I need daily when travelling. I can’t do without it because it gives me inspiration. It’s great to have musicians and players of instruments around us. Music fills the courts of heaven as heavenly beings praise our Lord and Creator. 

When God created the world, the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy, that’s what the Bible says at (Job 38:7)

You will know the I-THREES if you love music because they were highly talented musicians supporting Bob Marley as back vocals, in the history of Jamaican music. Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt, and Marcia Griffiths knew each other long before they became internationally known.

Marcia Griffiths was already a star before the group I-Threes were formed. Her duet recordings with Bob Andy, which included “Young, Gifted and Black,” had brought her international attention, when she invited Judy Mowatt, who had previously sung with ‘The Gaylettes,’ and Rita Anderson, to support her on a recording with Andy. This invitation brought the three women together.

In Jamaica, that time was ‘The Wailers’ formed in 1963, which was a vocal group consisting of Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, Bunny Livingston, Bob Marley, Peter McIntosh, and Cherry Smith. Livingston later became Bunny Wailer and McIntosh simply Peter Tosh. In 1966, Braithwaite, Kelso and Smith left the group leaving the trio of Livingston, Marley, and McIntosh.

Shortly after the departure of McIntosh and Livingston from the group, Bob Marley asked the three women to sing on his recording, Jah Live. They continued to sing for Bob Marley as back vocals for the next ten years. Later Bob Marley married Rita Andersen, whose original country of birth was Cuba. Surprisingly, both Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh became successful in their solo careers.

The I-threes on stage

In early 1975, the I-Threes joined Marley for a tour as the opening act for ‘The Jackson Five.’ The I-Threes continued to sing with Bob Marley until and after his death. But that wasn’t the end of the careers of the women, the three pursued a successful solo career.

On May 26, 2009, the I-Threes performed with Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespear, the Compass Point All-Stars and celebrated Island Records’ 50th-anniversary in London at Shepherd Bush Empire. The message of The I-Threes is one love, hope, peace, and unity to all mankind.

DID JESUS TRULY DIE ON THE CROSS?

The controversy surrounding how Jesus died

Even though the cross is loved and respected by thousands of Christians worldwide, true Christians are far away from the cross and have nothing to do with it. How can that be? One significant reason is that Jesus didn’t die on the cross. 

The Greek translates ‘Cross’ – ‘Stau-ros’. This means that an upright pole or stake. The Companion Bible states that ‘Stau-ros’ never means two pieces of wood or timber placed across one another at any angle.

Hermann Fulda’s book ‘The Cross and the Crucifixion’ states that Trees weren’t available everywhere at the public places chosen for execution, so a single beam was sunk into the ground. 

On this beam, outlaws' hands are raised, and often their feet are bound or nailed. To confirm the truth that Jesus didn’t die on the cross, the Apostle Paul said:

Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the law, by becoming cursed instead of us because it is written “Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake (tree-King James Version)” Galatians 3:13. 

In Deuteronomy 21:22, Paul’s quote clearly refers to a stake, not the cross. Since anyone who dies on a pole, beam, stick, wood, tree, etc, is cursed, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Christians or churches to decorate walls or homes with cross symbols.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits, the cross is found in both pre-Christian and non-Christian cultures. It was rather linked to pagan sex rites. Above all, the scriptures also warn against all kinds of idolatry. (Exodus 20:4, 5; 1 Corinthians 10:14). 

With such good reasons, true Christians don’t use the cross in worship.  One of those churches that have nothing to do with the cross is ‘The Jehovah's Witnesses.’

BELGIUM GOVERNMENT'S BAD POLICIES HAVE BROUGHT TERRORISM TO ITS SHORES

Obama shed tears for the victims of terrorism in Brussels, but the root of the problem remains unsolved. 

My condolences to the families of those who have lost their loved ones in this week’s terror attacks that hit Brussels’ airport. But it’s time to address the issues that have brought this terrible misfortune to Belgium.

Apart from the bad policies of the Belgian government, they have shown the world that they don’t have value for the lives of other human beings, especially Africans, but one thing they have forgotten is that Moroccans are also Africans.

The European and American media will never publish the facts; instead, they continue to promote hate and racism, bringing discomfort among foreigners and citizens.

How would you feel if you were an Arab and America or Europe invaded Iraq, lying that the country had weapons of mass destruction, and then after the destruction of the country, nothing was found?

How would you feel being an Arab when Europe and America, through Eastern Bloc doctors, deliberately infected Libyan children with HIV, then invaded Libya to kill Gaddafi?

The European and American media continue to pretend they don’t know about this and rather cause panic and fear with unnecessary publications and telecasts.

In America and Europe, you are not called Hitler if you kill 10 million Africans, including children and women. The reason there is a statue of King Leopold II in Brussels, while there is no statue of Adolf Hitler.

The Bible I read daily tells me that God created man in His own image; thus, I understand that everyone is a human being. If America and Europe want to be successful in the fight against terrorism, they should take the lives of Africans and ‘people they don’t consider as human beings’ into consideration, just as they feel for the victims of terrorism at Brussels airport.

The plot of terrorism is unseen; it’s invincible, but only by chance does the law get them. If ISIS is not planning any terrorist actions, Muslims on African soil are plotting. These people have no conscience and are prepared to die because of their faith.

These are some of the points that make terrorist groups very dangerous, yet Europe and America continue to underestimate them, clinging to bad policies and putting the lives of innocent people in danger. 

Racism and discrimination are enough. Everyone wants equal rights and justice.

WHY NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE WITH ME?

Many are experiencing bitter relationships, but how many of them try to find out the reason things are not going the right way?

Many are raised in different homes, influenced by different cultures, customs, and traditions. Thus, living with other people sometimes becomes a very difficult issue, proving that it’s often wrong if we lean on our own understanding. Many times, you may think you are right but wrong.

It is very common and part of our everyday life to see beautiful ladies and gentlemen in town and at the offices. The perfume they wear adds glamor to their personalities with sweet charm, but many are experiencing bitter relationships, often taking away their happiness and putting them into a tunnel of misery.

The setup of our homes immediately conveys the message to a visitor, the nature and character of those dwelling there, and the sort of training or life being acquired from it. 

Truly, the life and character of a person can easily be determined from the home he or she was raised in. Thus, are you one of those hard to live with, because of your bad character or the nature of the home you were raised in?

If you are a lady or gentleman in your late thirties and still living single, after many stormy affairs, it’s time to sit quietly and ask: Am I a difficult person to live with? If I am, how can I make things better?

Once in Amsterdam, I shared a kitchen with other tenants living in the apartment. More than a dozen times, I witnessed one of the male tenants spitting into the kitchen sink. 

A kitchen where I cut my meat and do my cooking? I was shocked to the extent that I lost the desire to cook in that kitchen. I couldn’t tell him to stop because I don’t want any confrontation.

This went on and on until one of the tenants caught him in the act again, and the confrontation escalated into a physical fight. Eventually, the owner of the apartment, who wasn’t pleased with what he did, ejected him from that apartment. 

How can an adult or fully grown man lack the intelligence to do something like that without noticing that it’s completely wrong?

In another development, a man lost his job because his employers said he stinks. He stood his ground to tell his boss that he is the one who stinks. 

This bad odor is something I knew, but couldn’t tell him, because there are certain things not easy to speak about. This is a problem that shows that as human beings, we do many things and harbor many bad characters we don’t simply see or notice them.

In the early 2000s, I nearly lost my job at the restaurant where I was working in Antwerp. One of my female colleagues’ armpits smells very bad. I was finding it difficult to work with her, so I bought her a deodorant to use. 

The deodorant ended up in the hands of her husband, who came to the office with his wife to see my boss. Luckily, I had already discussed this issue with my boss, thus I was set free.

It was a lesson I’m now very careful about the way I approach things. Some kindness may put you into very big trouble.

Life is wonderful. Life doesn’t mean suffering, but chains of sad and bad events, including bad habits and character, have taken their toll on mankind today, making life worthless to some people. 

We can make life better and worthy to live by being humble, eliminating foolish pride, being content with whatever we have, and giving respect and love to our neighbors.

Ghana's Selby Needs To Sue Belgium's Merckx For Stealing Her Bamboo Bicycle Conception

Ghana is likely the first country in the world to manufacture Bamboo bicycles

.

History remains incomplete because certain facts about Africa have been swept under the carpet by Europeans, just to hide the truth and portray Africa as ignorant.

Is it true that apart from the looting of Africa’s rich mineral resources, including gold, diamond, Copper, Bauxite, etc, the Europeans stole ideas from Africa to develop Europe, while they underdeveloped Africa?

In today’s (3/17/2016) Gazet Van Antwerpen, one of Belgium’s newspapers, there was an article about Jef Merckx, introducing a Bamboo bicycle in Belgium. According to Merckx, the Bamboo bicycle is lighter, faster, and more ecological, with a photo of him and the Bamboo Bicycle he has manufactured.

After reading the entire article, there wasn’t any indication anywhere in the article that Bamboo bicycle has been long manufactured in Ghana, by a woman called Winifred Selby, who started her production at the age of 15. Ghana is likely the first country in the world to manufacture Bamboo bicycles.

Like always, Belgium has denied Ghana-Africa’s intelligence and knowledge and given the credit to someone who has stolen an idea from Africa, above all from a woman. What a shame!

Miss Selby is working on a new bicycle with Bamboo. Photo credit: Media Ghana

There are many reasons journalism is said to lose its credibility. Gazet Van Antwerpen’s publication giving credit to Jef Merckx, as the manufacturer of the Bamboo bicycle, is one of them. 

Without investigation, they just published the stolen idea and knowledge from Africa. This is a mockery of the entire Belgian media. I told you so, and I will always tell you.

I DON’T EVEN WANT TO PUBLISH JEF MERCKX’s PICTURE ON MY BLOG, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T DESERVE IT.

10 WWE Scenes Revealing The Demonic Actions Of Stephanie McMahon

The abuse of power at WWE

Everyone has a reputation that follows us wherever we go. As human beings, our reputation may be good or bad. We often hear: It’s not the dress that one wears that makes her a lady or him a gentleman, but your kindness, humbleness, the way you talk, the respect you have for people, etc., are some of the qualities of a respectable person.

In the ring of WWE, wrestlers are usually called ‘Superstars,’ including Triple H, the husband of Stephanie McMahon, who is the daughter of Mr. Vince McMahon, the chairman and owner of WWE. 

Many people run the family business; thus, there is nothing wrong if Stephanie and her husband are managing WWE, as ‘The Authority.’ But abuse of power, arrogance, and foolish pride have taken control over Stephanie.

One thing Stephanie or her family needs to understand is, WWE hasn’t done any favors to past or present wrestlers. Frankly speaking, without the wrestlers and fans, there wouldn’t be any WWE today. 

If wrestlers are under her management, she doesn’t give any of ‘The Authority’ the right to slap everyone across the face anytime she loses her temper. 

The Authority claims: It is good for business, yet they take every challenge from any of the wrestlers as disrespect. Sometimes I do wonder if events at WWE are staged or fixed to entertain because ‘The Authority’ speaks and acts like children.

Wrestlers Stephanie has slapped across the face is uncountable. History repeated itself on Monday Night Raw 3/14/2016, after slapping Dolph Ziggler. Below are 10 of her demonic actions.

1. Stepanie slaps Batisa

2. Stephanie slaps Daniel Bryan

 3 Stephanie slaps Brie Bella

4. Stephanie slaps Paul Heyman

5. Stephanie slaps John Cena

6. Stephanie slaps The Rock

7. Stephanie slaps The Big Show

8. Stephanie slaps Roman Reigns

9. Stephanie tried to slap Sting, but wasn't fast enough

10. Stephanie slaps Randy Orton

That's when the abuse of power overflows its banks. The number of wrestlers Stephanie has slapped is too numerous to count.

THE RACE TO PREVENT HERPES OUTBREAK

Herpes Zoster



BY LIBBY COLEMAN

The first day, Eli felt tingling sensations up his penis, circling his testicles, and then surging down his legs. “I was thinking, what the hell is this?” Eli says. 

The next day brought sensations of burning and stabbing. Bedridden for hours, he finally went to the bathroom to pee, but saw nothing visibly wrong. A quick Google search pointed him to one diagnosis: herpes.

Eli, sadly, is far from alone. The World Health Organization says almost half a billion people below the age of 50 suffer from Herpes Simplex Virus-2, the kind that afflicts the genitals. A whopping 3.7 billion people have Herpes Simplex Virus-1, the mostly oral kind. There are treatments, but so far, no preventative solution. 

The quest for a herpes vaccine is “one of the biggest unsolved problems of infectious disease,” says William Halford, an associate professor at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.

I’d love the peace of mind to know my partners were not at risk of getting herpes.

But that may change. Halford is among a growing number of researchers questing for the herpes vaccine, both at medical schools and at biotech firms. 

All approach the vaccine differently, and if any of them are successful, they might just create the next human papillomavirus vaccine, which is now recommended for women below the age of 26.

These days, epidemiologists are pretty optimistic that all the itching and burning will someday soon be prevented: “I think we’ll see the vaccine in the next 5 to 10 years,” says Litjen Tan, a strategist at the Immunization Action Coalition. 

And that has people with herpes, like Ella Dawson, who has blogged about her disease for multiple outlets, thrilled: “I’d love the peace of mind to know my partners were not at risk of getting herpes,” she says.

If you’re surprised that the herpes vaccine is suddenly, um, sexy, well, you’re not alone. Overall vaccination research is on a “downward” trend, says Paul Offit, of the Vaccine Education Center at Philadelphia Children’s Hospital, even as biotech as a whole continues to grow. (IBIS research predicts a 50 percent rise in revenues, to $161 billion, by 2020.) What’s en vogue are CRISPR technology and cancer drugs.

Vaccines saw the height of their success in the mid-1900s with the approval of polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus immunizations, and now the field has whittled down to four major vaccine developers: GSK, Merck, Pfizer, and Sanofi. By the ‘80s, thanks to popular reports that vaccines did more harm than good, the consumer base had shrunk for immunizations.

The Vatican: Is The City Under Threat Of Invasion By The ISIS?

The Vatican City

ISIS often airs its threats to conquer Rome and convert St. Peter’s, above, into a mosque. These aspirations go all the way back to the early years of Islam, when Constantinople — the capital of the Eastern Roman empire and bulwark of Christianity in the eastern Mediterranean and West Asia, was an early target of Arab ambitions..

In October 2014, an arresting image appeared on the cover of Dabiq, the slickly produced, English-language magazine of ISIS (the “Islamic State in Syria,” also known as the “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,” among other names). 

The magazine features — as Robert Evans has detailed in an article of the “I read it so you don’t have to” variety — interviews with jihadis and photos of their brutally slain victims, together with other material calculated to entice the devout to join the cause of world domination.

The Photoshop job in question shows the ISIS flag flying in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, hoisted atop the Egyptian obelisk that marks the center of the piazza. 

The accompanying headline, ‘The Failed Crusade, ’ imagines a reversal of the West’s medieval crusades, launched against the Muslim world from the Holy See. 

It also reverses the West’s more recent dispensations in the Middle East, from the divisions of the former Ottoman provinces after World War I to the results of the 2003 Iraq War.

ISIS is an expert at representing its aspirations in prankish, media-friendly terms. Its black and white flag, inspired by ancient descriptions of Mohammed’s own banners, also coincides in color and general design with the Jolly Roger. 

It flutters in the image like a skull-and-crossbones raised over a captured vessel, the flagship of Western Christendom reduced to pirates’ booty.

The Italian daily Corriere Della Sera was quick to take notice of the image, while in the International Business Umberto Bacchi pointed to the gloss provided by ISIS spokesperson Mohammed al-Adnani: “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted.”

On one level, he is trolling us with a cartoonish Orientalist stereotype (like Boris Karloff’s Fu Manchu urging his Asiatic hordes to “kill the white man and take his women!”) with the phallic obelisk mischievously restored to Eastern ownership. But al-Adnani is also quite serious.

ONLINE DATING: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY PART OF IT

Online dating

Life can be boring sometimes. Frustration, depression, loneliness, and anxiety are some of the problems that have taken their toll on many people today, forcing them to use ‘Dating Sites,’ hoping that’s the right place to find love and happiness they are looking for. 

The internet has enabled us to see the world through the window, facilitating business, creating easy communication, and making friends easily throughout the globe. But the question is: Is ‘Dating Sites’ actually the right place for someone to look for his or her dream partner? 

Frankly speaking, dating sites harbor all kinds of dangers that many ignore or don’t see because they are simply following their heart's desire.

I don’t see the distance between two people dating as one of the disadvantages of online dating if one person lives in Canada and the other lives in England, but the dangers of falling into the wrong hands, which have prematurely ended the lives of many, and added names of missing people to the missing people.

While on a ‘Dating Site,’ you aim to find a lover, but the man on the other side doesn’t want love; he wants to harm or kill you. How will you know? This is the reason many who answer to online dating mysteriously disappear without any trace. 

This makes ‘Dating Sites’ or ‘Blind Date’ more dangerous than imagined. Once in Amsterdam, I contacted a lady who wants a non-smoker. 

We made an appointment at the central train station, asking me to be at a very famous point that everyone knew. She was late. I watched my time and I realized it was over ten minutes. 

Then, after fifteen minutes, I saw a pretty woman smiling at me. She was gorgeous. Her tall, slim figure was the exact choice of a woman I was looking for.

“Are you Joe?” She asked, and I nodded.”I have been here already, but spying on you to see if you are a handsome man. I really hate ugly and shabbily dressed men.” She said. “What a bad woman? 

Is that what men or women do to each other on a blind date?” I asked in my mind. Now I know the reason many dates end in disappointment. They came and probably saw the person unattractive and quietly sneaked away? 

Who will be happy when treated like that? In fact, the statement she made ruined my day. After eating and a walk through the city, I didn’t request a second date. That’s how we lost contact.

There is nothing wrong when doing online dating, but be extremely careful, because what you are looking for might be completely different from what the person you are communicating with wants. 

Some recommended steps can keep one far from loneliness and depression. Reading interesting books as a hobby can capture your imagination to avoid depression and loneliness.

If you love to stay at home, please cultivate the habit of taking a walk through the gardens, doing window shopping, and joining social clubs. Going to the gym to exercise once or twice a week not only keeps you fit but also psychologically healthy. 

Who knows, you will meet the right person in those places? You may have a hidden talent, but you don’t know. Find out what you are very good at, follow it, and start blogging to create your happiness.

AMERICA’S WEAPONIZATION OF EBOLA

The Ebola virus

President Barack Obama has received a torrent of criticism for dispatching U.S. troops and National Guardsmen to the Ebola-ravaged West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea to help control the spread of the highly lethal Ebola-Zaire hemorrhagic virus. 


While Cuba has sent qualified doctors to the stricken region, Obama has responded with troops answering to the U.S. Africa Command in Stuttgart, Germany. 

Evidence has recently surfaced in a 2009 U.S. Embassy Berlin cable to the U.S. State and Defense Departments that German authorities hesitated to send hemorrhagic fever cultures to the suspected biological warfare laboratory at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Fort Detrick, Maryland, because the Germans feared the Army might «weaponize» the cultures.

The cable, classified as «Sensitive», is dated December 15, 2009, and states:

German MFA [Ministry of Foreign Affairs] Deputy Head of Division for Export Control Markus Klinger provided the following non-paper to Econoff [Embassy Economics Officer], seeking additional assurances related to a proposed export of extremely dangerous pathogens to the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases.

The Army’s end-use certificate provided to Germany is lacking an official seal. Klinger’s deputy, Nancy Reck, noted that Germany had made two follow-up requests to the Army seeking assurances and clarifications related to this proposed export. 

The GOG [Government of Germany] seeks assurances from the USG [US Government] or US Army that the end-use certificate and the information contained therein are legitimate and accurate».

The «non-paper» reference is to an «aide-memoire,» what is known in the diplomatic world as a note without an author, source, or title that is used to prepare for negotiations. The following «non-paper», which was originally written in German, was translated by the embassy and sent to Washington:

Against the background of our partnership in the area of non-proliferation and our excellent cooperation in matters of export controls, we would like to bring the following issue to the attention of your government.

A German firm has applied for the approval of the export of 184 genetic elements with nucleic acid sequences of viruses for the production of recombinant viruses. The viruses will be used in optical imaging to identify host factors required for viral replication.

The recipient in the USA is, according to the enclosed end-use certificate, the Department of the Army's US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Specifications in English about the goods, the recipient, and end-use can be seen from the end-use certificate. The goods are controlled by the Australia Group and are subject to compulsory export approval (List position C1C353A).

This matter concerns the complete genome of viruses such as the Zaire Ebola virus, the Lake Victoria Marburg virus, the Machupo virus, and the Lassa virus, which are among the most dangerous pathogens in the world. 

The delivery would place the recipient in the position of being able to create replicating recombinant infectious species of these viruses.
