Photoshop the new window into the virtual world we now live in:

I was working on a photoshop image for the website. To do that you have many options and one of the best is to use “Gimp!” I was happily altering a photo to meet the conditions that I set for it and then all of a sudden, I stopped and realized something…

I just took a sip of that wonderful coffee here in Korolev, Russia and I then decided to start this article…

The term photoshop needs to be expounded upon. In the situation that I am using it in, means, “Any altercations in the “real world” by technical manipulations to accomplish the goals set at hand. These goals could be something as simple as just a photo to make yourself look like Superman, to manipulations of data to make a whole country believe in going to war. This twisting of data is not held to just photos, but it is expanded to all carbon based/non carbon based existence and more…”

We photoshop whole countries – Libya, Syria, Russia, America, Europe and in fact we alter the reality of everything on the planet. We do this even if it is a flagrant lie. We do this to create the reality that we want to present and effect the minds of everyone about what we present. We want everyone to see the world through our eyes and to believe like we do. So we manipulate the data when we can and hope one more person falls into the trap and follows our way of thinking. We – in this case is any one individual to a whole country of individuals that are being herded to a common goal…

I watched the manipulations happening all the time: Boston, Washington DC, Moscow and now look at London! A man with a meat cleaver and a knife in his dripping bloody hands, expresses sorrow at what he had to do and he politely gave what seems to be an amazing interview to a person who just was on his way to a job interview and filmed all that happened like it was a reality show on TV… (All the while 50 people stood and watched it all happen…)

All this spouting about photoshop by me is just my way of saying that nothing is real anymore. What you see as feelgood or feelbad images, articles and data is nothing more than a manipulation of qualitative or quantitative variables, that perform a needed function to arrest and desist a real flow and reality of perceptions. To be guided to the false premises that all is wonderful or terrible, whatever fits the requirement for that given second in life…

I am going to sip my coffee and return to my “Gimp” photoshop and alter a photo to try to change your reality and perception about the death you ignore, and actually you demand that death of millions of innocent people, all over the world, by silence is approval of your governments actions…

Now that is reality…

Wild Roses are some of my favorite flowers.

I have waited and waited for them to bloom around our place in Russia. So I was really excited today as I found some wild roses blooming and the pictures came out wonderful. Boza did not care of course and he tried to ruin the pictures, as he found a cat to worry about, but you got to love that Galaxy Note camera…

Then lets have one that is open all the way…

It has been raining and really dreary for days. But today a little sunshine opened up in the form of a wild roses. Now that is sunshine without the sun shining…

I missed the blooming of the lilacs in the village, as they were just starting to flower as we left this last time. So I have enjoyed the lilacs blooming around Moscow. That is another one of my favorite flowers. They smell is heavenly…

So today while walking the dog, my soul uplifted and smiled. The wild roses are a testament to the beauty of nature and the ability to produce beauty if just left alone…

I also say that as the world looks at Moscow and Russia herself as dreary and dim. I say, “For those that look any place on the planet will be found beauty and sunshine as wonderful as the wild roses…”

I think of this poem by Wendell Berry as I think of Svetlana my sweetie:

Sometimes hidden from me
in daily custom and in trust,
so that I live by you unaware
as by the beating of my heart.

Suddenly you flare in my sight,
a wild rose blooming at the edge
of thicket, grace and light
where yesterday was only shade,

and once again I am blessed, choosing
again what I chose before.

Have a nice day and go out and smell the roses…

Adopted Russian Children have escaped from their abusive life in Texas, USA and all because of a brave American woman who never gave up and put her own freedoms and liberty in jeopardy…

This is the Adopted Russian children that I have been talking about several times on my website, I was happy as a “pig in a mud wallow” when I saw this. Diane Black contacted me on Facebook and asked me if I had seen anything on the news yet. That made me put out the alerts and checks and then it popped up after a few hours…

Two orphaned Russian siblings Kelly and Cloe, known in Russia as Anastasia and Svetlana Klimov, have been temporarily placed with a new US foster family, after years of abuse by their adopted American parents.

The announcement was made today by Diane Black, a psychotherapist and human rights lawyer who has been working on this case since she was alerted to the abuse the children suffered at the hands of Michael and Penny Deckert from Texas.

Ms. Black said she called up the girls today to check if everything was fine, and there were tears of happiness in their voice as they repeated “thank you, thank you, thank you.” The human rights activist said she hoped adopted Anastasia and Svetlana found a home at last.

This is one of the articles:

Diane Black: Three Abused Russian Adopted Children Texas, USA …

I am so proud of Diane and she stood by these kids. She was even arrested for try to help these adopted children. That gives me the state of America, right there in a nutshell…

Sadly the boy is still missing, but the girls have been relieved of a life of abuse. Lets hope the boy is found before it is too late…

Another abusive American adoption family bites the dust…

Don’t tell me that it is rare! I have hundreds on case file right now, all located in America and all abusive…

Putin has demanded that ship building in Russia increase the production rate. United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) the largest ship builder in Russia is under the gun to get warships out on or before the 2020 deadline of completion…

I saw this information and then it struck me as to what is going on and why Putin is slamming the fist down…

The Russian Navy is expected to receive 24 submarines and 54 warships of various classes by 2020, according to the Defense Ministry…

Then along came Medvedev after Putin and in a CSTO underlining statement…

“It is essential to offer weapons which are superior to our world counterparts, and pay special attention to strengthening cooperation, primarily with our partners in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO),” Medvedev said…

Well this is not anything new to me as I live in Russia, but it maybe new to you and Russian has been on a huge push to upgrade the military for several years now. Something big is on the horizon and along with India and China, Russia is getting ready for it…

The Russian Navy’s new Borei-955 class submarines will each carry 16 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM).

Yes Russia is trying to get 24 subs with 16 nuclear tipped missiles ready as fast as possible. That equals 384 nukes floating around in the great blue yonder we call an ocean. That is enough to deter even the toughest big bullies around…

Then 54 warships is a huge increase in the surface abilities…

I read in between the lines of all that is being said by Putin and Medvedev: “Build these damn ships and subs! Build them like you have no tomorrow. For you may not have a tomorrow, to build these ships in.” I also read that the CSTO needs weapons and weapons now as the counter balance against NATO has to begin…

With all that said, the USC has decided to hire outside forces and do what it takes to get those damn warships done, “Come hell or high water…” As Putin scowls and says, “You better get er done!”

The wind is blowing people…
