Hello,

Russia Today is doing some heavy investigation into the rise and fall of the USA. I find it interesting as to the type of information that is being distributed. Russia Today has a huge, very well documented library of information that includes many high level officials of the USA government and almost as big of a library with civilian citizens of America.

This is a strong video that will make you think…

Alex Jones, is an American paleoconservative talk radio host, and documentary filmmaker. His syndicated news/talk show The Alex Jones Show airs via the Genesis Communication Network on over 60 AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations across the United States and on the Internet. Various observers have referred to him as a conspiracy theorist.

Interview starts:

The film ‘The Obama Deception’ claims America has become a puppet in the hands of private bankers working towards a new world order.

Several months after Obama stepped in as President of the United States, you make a documentary calling him a deceiver. Why?

PS: Russia Today has a small dedicated group of reporters that are interviewing everyday in the USA and uncovering what the Western news will not print…

Sit and watch a beautiful video that we just put together. The music is meditation music from an unknown source?

Russia is really very beautiful and Svet and I have been and seen many of the areas shown in the video. When we travel all over the CIS area we are stunned at times at the shear beauty that we encounter.

Sit with a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the music and the scenery.

I was drinking my morning cup of coffee here in Moscow Russia. The weather has finally started to resemble Spring. It still is snowing everyday but you can feel that the weather is cold wet instead of bitter dry cold. The days are getting longer and I now have seen a few tulip bulbs and tree buds trying to grow. The snow melts as it hits the ground now and the big piles of snow are almost gone.

Big difference 2 weeks makes. But still it is April and I see snow falling everyday. In America as a child I was taught “March is kite flying time and the saying: In like a lion out like a lamb – In like a lamb out like a lion” and also the saying “April showers bring May flowers“. That does not really hold true here in Moscow, Russia.

A few days ago my wife and I walked the dog and I had to put my ear flaps down on my hat and my gloves had to be put on. Svet laughed and said, “Did you ever think that you would have to wear gloves in April?” (It was -4 degrees)

I growled, “No!” 🙂

PS: WASHINGTON (AFP)–The U.S. military on Sunday disputed North Korea’s claim it had launched a satellite into space, saying ‘the payload itself landed in the Pacific Ocean.’ So no Music for us to listen to? That is sad for North Korea but I can say that America is happy. The news has gone crazy with the failed attempt.

Hello,

I was drinking my morning cup of coffee here in Moscow, Russia and was thinking about the flood of news over the last few days about the G20. I am going to give you a few links of the thousands of links that the Western Press feels is important G20 news.

The G-20 summit seems it is about two things:

1. looking important while trying to “Fix The World” and
2. showing off your hot stylish wife!

The Western press amazes me. Here are huge headlines from the G20 Summit:

Sizzling G-20 Wives!

Michelle Obama, Karl Marx and the secrets of the G20 First Wives’ club!

Michelle Obama Finds Her Role on the World Stage!

The Queen and Mrs. Obama: A Breach in Protocol!

Exclusive Photos: Behind the Scenes With the Obamas!

Michelle Obama’s warm touch with queen draws gasps!

G20 Summit: fashion battle of the ‘first ladies’!

First Ladies Night! See What The G-20 Wives Wore To Downing Street Dinner!

Forget the G-20, what are the spouses wearing?

Celebrity chef Oliver reveals menu for G-20 leaders!

Would you like a few thousand more? (These are not rinky – dinky sites but main stream news)

I also found an occasional story about riots and also how Obama and Brown consider this an “Historical” moment in history. No one else thinks it is historical, but as long as they do – That is what counts!

But the G20 leaders paled in comparison to the attention that was lavished up on the wives of the Leaders of the Free World.

I see a lot of money was spent and a lot of money is going to be spent. “The G20 leaders who met in London on Thursday agreed to allocate $5 trillion by the end of 2010 to resolve the global economic crisis, with one-fifth of the funds going to the International Monetary Fund and other financial institutions.”

As the words that are coming from Russia say: “The World does not have that kind of money and money will only be spent if there is a complete restructure of the IMF which is owned by America!” The false unified front that was presented at the G20 was fun while it lasted but leaders will go home and get behind closed doors in meetings. Then decisions will be made that they feel like will befit them.

Just a video of the feelings from Russia about the G20…

Windows to Russia is done with the G20 with this post and now we get to play with NATO! 🙂

Hello,

I was walking the dog and decided to take some pictures of the flats being rehabbed in Moscow. All over the city flats are being given a face lift and having internal work being done.

Svetlana’s Mother just had her flat rehabbed. It got new siding on the outside and new windows and doors on the inside. I believe it even got a new heating system put in.

These pictures are from around our flat area but they show what is being done all over the city. I like it…

So I think that the buildings are going to look a lot better and much more uniform and modern.

Funny thing happened though. While Boza and I where standing taking pictures and looking up at the workers on the buildings. Around 15 people had stopped behind us staring up at the building trying to see what Boza and I were looking at.

I turned around as I told Boza lets go home and found all kinds of people looking at me and the building. Then they all looked at the ground and went about their business again.

This is a normal phenomenon that I have discovered in Moscow. I can be studying something in the sky and 10 people will see me and they will stop to see what I am looking at.

I never had that before in America but in Russia it is common. I think it is because no one ever looks up any higher than eye level and when someone does and is noticed people feel that it must be important.

The problem is that I look all around all the time. I am a observer. One of those people who notice everything and everyone. So I get people looking at what I am studying at all the time. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by and checking out Windows to Russia!

Have some coffee and sit a moment in Moscow, Russia. Lets talk about something very important that the Western press is trying to sideline.

While the world is mesmerized by the stupidity of the G20 fiasco. North Korea has deployed her fighter jets to defend against any attempts to shoot down its rocket, set to be launched in the coming days.

What is happening over on this side of the world is a countdown to war!

Japan, America and South Korea have flown at least 200 missions in the last few weeks with spy planes that North Korea has proven to have invaded their airspace.

North Korea’s official news agency warned that if Japan or America intercepts the rocket launch, expected between April 4 and 8, it will “consider this the start of Japan’s war of re-invasion more than six decades after the Second World War, and mercilessly destroy all its interceptor means and citadels with the most powerful military means.”

So what is happening?

First, America has multiples of warships waiting with missiles to shoot down the North Korean Rocket. Even though they have said in the small print “We really do not plan on shooting down their missile.” But America keeps bringing more warships into the area.

Second, Japan has warships and the whole country on alert to shoot down the Rocket with their missiles.

Third, North Korea is going to launch this rocket.

Fourth, North Korea is very close to shooting down one of these spy planes that keep invading their territory.

Fifth, Now the threats of sanctions are flying all over the place.

Sixth, No one will call it a rocket except Russia, North Korea and China. All others call it a missile. Seems the only missiles are surrounding North Korea right now.

Seventh, Russia and China have urged all countries to show restraint, and avoid actions that could escalate tensions in the region.

Eighth, North Korea will retaliate against Japan. North Korea knows that America is way over her head in wars already and anything that is started because of this conflict will be between Japan and North Korea. South Korea is so scared of North Korea that they would not lift a finger with out America ram rodding it.

Ninth, Japan seems to be contemplating the actions of war as as viable. Japan’s government has already passed the legislative that OK’s shooting down the Rocket of North Korea’s.

Tenth, Once again, North Korea will retaliate against Japan.

We have two countries that have very little to lose. Japan is in the worse financial shape that it has been in since the big war. North Korea already is treated like dirt by the international community. Then America has stuck her nose in so deep that she has set the stage to be the aggressor without any means to end it all. Sounds like the Georgia situation.

All Russia and China want is for all the game playing to stop.

By the way – I think Japan would win, but not with out tremendous lose of life.

PS: The USA gives a report now that it really does look like a satellite from their surveillance photos! But they went on to say that they will shoot it down if they feel like anything is wrong. Kinda neat – America can shoot the rocket down and Japan gets real missiles shot at it.

With friends like that who needs enemy’s!
