For those who missed these compromising #Pfizer revelations in October '21. Three scientists make a confession to an undercover journalist. Fact-checkers have bitten their teeth here, because it indeed concerns three researchers from Pfizer.

Ukraine-Russia Conflict: NATO 'will Not Deploy Combat Troops To Kyiv', Says Stoltenberg
Last Updated: 26th January, 2022 13:34 IST
NATO will not be sending its troops to Ukraine, said the alliance’s chief in a televised interview. He informed NATO is preparing a written response for Russia.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will not be sending its troops to Ukraine, said the alliance’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. In a televised interview with CNN, the NATO chief said that the organisation will instead send a written response to Russia’s security proposals this week in parallel with the United States. The Russian Foreign Ministry had published two draft agreements regarding its security proposals and sought a response from the US and NATO. Earlier this month, Russia met with the US, NATO and other European officials as fears increased over Moscow’s possibility of launching an attack on its neighbour, Ukraine.
"NATO will not deploy NATO combat troops to Ukraine," NATO chief Stoltenberg said in the televised interview.
"We are finalising at NATO the proposals, the written document we will send to them later this week. We will do that in parallel with the United States," he also informed.
NATO is willing to ‘sit down and discuss’ issues
The NATO chief said that the alliance is willing to “sit down and discuss arms control, disarmament, transparency on military activities, risk reduction mechanisms and other issues which are relevant for European security”. However, Stoltenberg, in the same interview, stressed that NATO is “not ready to compromise on core principles”.

It is to note that Stoltenberg’s remark came as US President Joe Biden also said that he has “no intention” of moving American or NATO troops into Ukraine. However, Biden stressed that Russia would face severe economic consequences if it invades its neighbouring nation. On Tuesday, the US delivered military assistance to Ukraine but the US President stated that any movement of US troops into Ukraine would be to reinforce NATO forces under the alliance’s Article 5 obligations if Russia continues its military buildup near Ukraine.

Biden said that the decision to deploy troops would be based on the measures taken by his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Biden went on to say that the read-to-deploy action is a “NATO operation” instead of “a sole US operation”. The US President even reiterated warnings to Russia saying that if Putin “continued to build up” or if he “was to move” the troops into Ukraine, the US will be reinforcing its troops.

Large-Scale Blackout Leaves Millions In Central Asia Without Power
A spokesman for Kyrgyzstan's energy ministry told AFP by telephone that power had failed "due to an accident in the regional energy grid".
Almaty:
Millions of people were left without power after a huge blackout hit three Central Asian countries Tuesday following an unspecified accident, officials in the ex-Soviet region said.
The capitals of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan as well as Kazakhstan's economic hub Almaty suffered power cuts at around lunchtime local time, with media and officials reporting that the blackouts had extended far into the provinces of the three countries.
Uzbekistan's energy ministry said in a statement on its official Telegram channel that the power outage had been triggered by an accident in Kazakhstsan's power grid.
"As a result of a major accident in the power grids of the Republic of Kazakhstan, there was a power outage in the (southern Kazakh) cities of Almaty, Shymkent, Taras, Turkestan (regions) and adjacent areas," the statement said.
"The Uzbek power grid, which is connected to the Unified Power Grid, was damaged as a result of an accident that led to sudden changes in voltage and frequency on 530 lines from Kazakhstan," it added.
A spokesman for Kyrgyzstan's energy ministry told AFP by telephone that power had failed "due to an accident in the regional energy grid".
Crypto power use
Central Asian countries have seen their grids burdened by a summer drought that affected hydropower capacity in Kyrgyzstan and by a boom in cryptocurrency mining in the region, especially in Kazakhstan.
The growth of cryptocurrency mining in Kazakhstan was linked in part to a de facto ban on the practise in next-door China, and a spike in prices for volatile cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin in the second half of last year.
Southern Kazakhstan, which traditionally endures energy deficits and relies on supplies from the electricity-rich north of the country, was especially affected by the influx.
Kazakhstan's national electricity provider KEGOS said that "due to a significant emergency imbalance created by the energy system of Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan), there was a surge in power for the transit of electricity" between grids in Kazakhstan.
Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that the airport in Almaty, where the power cut did not affect the whole city, was continuing to work normally, but that Tashkent's airport had stopped receiving flights due to the power outage.
Tashkent's metro, the largest in the region, had also ceased working, an AFP correspondent noted, adding that tap water was barely running.
Bishkek's airport was working at reduced capacity, local website 24.kg reported, citing the airport's management.

LETTER FROM DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN RESOURCES WAS FORGED
Guys/Gals:
The signature on this letter has a blue box around it suggesting it was cut out from another letter and taped/glued in that spot.
You can't see a blue box surrounding her name?
I'll be sitting at home nice and comfy reading all the articles I copied because I have no internet access.
