Cup of Chicory and some Monday Thinking’s in Russia…

My chicory this morning was great and I am glad that I finally have switched. I seem to feel better all day long and I am able to drink multiple cups all day. No caffeine is the plus factor and if you study the drink chicory you will find it is a beneficial drink: Although the medical usages of this herb are numerous, Chicory is known for the fact that it’s considered an excellent coffee substitute. Moreover it contains insulin – a substance from the saccharoids group, very useful for transforming the non-alimentary substances into biodegradable ones.  Read More >>>

Enough about that. I like it because it taste good and after a few weeks I have adapted to it. It is kinda like when you try to switch from Coke to diet coke. Once you get the new flavor in your system and head then the old flavor is not the same anymore. I use a little more milk than I did with coffee but that is okay because most of the time, that is the only milk that I drink anymore…

Several things that makes even more sense is that it costs so much less than coffee does and is much more water soluble than coffee. Other words 100 grams of chicory versus 100 grams of coffee, chicory wins all the way around… (unless caffeine is all you want!)

Well the same thinking’s are going on with or without coffee and chicory seems to do the job as well as coffee…

Today it was hard not to be thinking about what is happening in Libya. NATO went on a huge over the top bombing spree to help the rebels get into Tripoli. As predicted NATO (not the rebels) wins but not until almost 6 months, many thousands dead and billions spent. Besides after Qaddafi falls the fun really begins. (Just watch and listen!) Besides it is not over yet and there is so much miss information from the West that you really do not know what to think or do and it looks like someone forgot to tell Gaddafi it is over…

I find it sad that we as a Western world are celebrating his downfall (Just like Osama bin Laden) and ignore all the deaths of innocent people and the destruction of so many important landmarks to get to that point. Same in Iraq, same in Afghanistan and the same in a dozen more places over the years. As I have said from the start it was all wrong and all done for the wrong reasons. (Just like Osama bin Laden) But people seem to not care about right and wrong, they just care about the end result. The damage on the way to the end result is just called collateral damage…

Sveta and I are going to the village and spend a few weeks. I will post from the village as we now have the means and way. I am going to quit worrying about the world for awhile. It is time to look at Russia and her villages. We will be able to spend two Sundays in the village and that means we get to shop at the wonderful village market that is set up every Sunday. I plan on getting some pictures of the market this time due to the fact that I got my android camera phone going good again. It is so cool how they do these markets in the Russian villages. They take the whole main street and line it with booths from vendors. They sell anything from shoes to car parts… 🙂

I also get to spend time working on the car and I have my bottle of wax to give her a good wax job before Winter hits and believe me Winter is right on the door step as I write this article…

One last thinking: Internet Comment Trolls Suck and they really need to find something else to do. Spam and trolls are the scourge of the WWW…

Journalist War in Tripoli as Misinformation continues by Western Media?

Independent journalist Lizzie Phelan says the reports are an effort by NATO to create panic.

“The only gunfire that we are hearing is celebratory gunfire,” she said. “And the only explosions that we are hearing are NATO air strikes or NATO sound bombs, which are clearly designed to create a sense of panic in the capital city of Tripoli.”

Phelan said that the Libyan rebels created fake footage of themselves in Zawiya and Tripoli, and were aided in disseminating the footage by, among other media outlets, Al Jazeera. The Qatar-based satellite television station, she argued, has been at the center of the media conspiracy against Libya. The Western mainstream media, she continued, in turn picked up these reports and repeated them, creating a sense of panic among the Libyan people.

“Later on in the areas like Soug Jomaa, after the prayers, a number of armed gangs emerged, which are essentially sleeper cells of rebels inside the city, and began firing randomly and threatening ordinary people, that if they did not join them they would be assassinated,” she said. “They then took footage of the empty streets, which created the sense that they were in the process of capturing the city.”

Many people in Tripoli have been armed by the government and these people came out to defend their capital, she added.

“The government spokesman came out and insisted that the situation had been brought under control,” Phelan claimed. “As a result, now in Green Square the masses have come out because they feel safe again and they are letting off celebratory gunfire and fireworks. Muammar Gaddafi spoke to the masses live via phone, because there have been reports that he fled the country.”

Political analyst Mahdi Nazemroaya says that the gunfire in the Libyan capital is sporadic and disorganized, and that its main purpose is to break down the morale of the population.

“The main point of the attacks in Tripoli is to break down the morale here and cause panic,” he said. “The media here at the hotel where I am staying has been part of this disinformation campaign. They just want to feed the panic here and want the regime to collapse. They are fueling and feeding this psychological war against this country.”

This is all from someone on the ground in Libya…

Update:

Cash For Clunkers Worked on Domestic Cars in Russia…

Looks like “Cash For Clunkers” worked in Russia. Putin’s program that pushed domestic made automobiles in Russia was a success and many want to carry the program forever as a internal stimulus for domestic cars…

Looks like the LADA skunked out but not a Volga to be seen. Poor Volga and it is my favorite car… 🙂

I have mixed feelings about the “Cash for Clunker” programs and do not see them as a success in the long term, but in Russia they ran the program much longer than in America. It looks to have been more successful, while much slower paced in Russia and the talk is to continue the program forever…

Hummm…

Looks like Russia Still Wants to build a Tunnel to North America

The project of a multipurpose tunnel under the sea bed of the Bering Strait between Russia’s Far East and the USA, Alaska has been given the green light at least by Russia. The tunnel which is necessary for the connection of transportation systems of Eurasia and America is estimated at almost $100 USA billion. It is being reported on Russian news that the USA has given the green light to start the gears in motion over this tunnel…

The tunnel is part of almost a 7,000-kilometre corridor from Siberia into the United States includes a 100-kilometre tunnel under the Bering Strait. It will be more than twice as long as the underwater section of the Channel Tunnel between the U.K. and France. The undersea tunnel would contain a high-speed railway, highway and pipelines, as well as power and fiber-optic cables…

I have written about this before and to Russia this is a real and worthwhile project. But I never see proper interest by the North American side. Maybe this is that interest. It would be cool to travel all the way to America by car… 🙂

Moscow is having a Growing Spurt…

Moscow has officially, unofficially been given her new boundaries and as normal in this world, the amount of increase has increased from original plans. That is normal and I guess that it is better to go bigger and not smaller.

The planned enlargement of Moscow’s boundaries is going to include more land than first thought.

City Hall says the Russian capital will now grow by 16,000 hectares. The expansion will be mainly in the south of the city.

Moscow will grow to include Skolkovo town, which hosts Russia’s new innovation hub, and Rublevo-Arkhangelskoe village, where Russia’s international financial center will be located.

The video gives some more information…

Russia says Hold on West about Syria…

The drums for a war on Syria are beating loudly these last few days. In fact I could hear them resounding over the ocean all night and even resonating as far as Moscow inland…

Keep it up everyone! So you can beat your chest harder and rattle those sabers to scare the world to do your bidding. Syria is in the gun sites now just like Libya was 6 months ago…

As the West gets totally financial devastated, the more push come shove, will the West become…

Beat them drums for war – Beat them Drums for war…

A division is growing East and West…

1 + 1 could equal Venezuela and Libya…

I talked earlier about Venezuela wanting its gold back from the West. Another reason could be associated with the rumors that Gaddafi has found protection with Venezuela and his friend Chavez. Then that makes perfect sense also…

But the rumors are flying on this side of the world and have been for two days at least. Russia posting this morning several articles and now China has posted article after article about it and just in the last hour the English Chinese news has posted: Gaddafi family members to be evacuated from Tunisia on board Venezuelan plane, A Venezuelan plane has landed on the island of Djerba to evacuate members of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s family, Tunisian radio, Mosaique FM, reported on Friday. The news was announced by the radio’s correspondent on the Tunisia- Libyan border…

Starting to look closer to a world war everyday. I woke up last night and realized that an East/West war is building. At one point China and Russia are going to have to step into the fray. That is when it will get interesting…

This Morning in Russia I had Chicory instead of Coffee…

In fact I have been starting to drink more chicory than coffee. (A lot more.) In Kiev, Ukraine I fell off the band wagon and drank coffee, but here in Russia it is easier to keep on a pattern. So I decided it was bothering me that I am saying that I am drinking coffee and in reality I am drinking chicory much more often than not. Switching to chicory was for health reasons as chicory is actually good for diabetics such as me…

Sveta says who cares if you drink chicory or coffee? But after I thought about it for a few days. I guess I care! It is time that I remove the coffee and replace with chicory. Though it just does not sound as appropriate to say, “The World of Russia and a Cup of Chicory…”

Or maybe in Russia that really does make more sense… 🙂

So it looks like I need to do some thinking’s over a cup of chicory…

Venezuela wants Gold Reserves back home…

What happens when a country wants its gold back and they want it in solid form? Not paper but real Gold! What happens when the banks that keep the gold do not have that much real gold or it depletes all the supply they have, to give it back?

So the news that Hugo Chavez made a decision to recall Venezuela’s gold reserves stored in U.S. and European banks, was being done to protect the country from economic troubles in the developed world. Is no surprise to a sane human and makes total sense. It is Venezuela’s gold and they can do what they want with it. It also was announced that this other assets will also be distributed to countries that are safer such as China, Russia and Brazil…

In a real world that is fair: Chavez (Venezuela) made a smart move.  The U.S. and Western Europe have seized Libya’s assets and are handling the billions of dollars as if it was their own money to give.  Some will be given to the “rebel” government, some will be payed to Western companies to re-build Libya, some will pay for oil companies to move into Libya to control the oil fields… and some money frankly will just go “missing”. Actions like that have consequences…

Since the West has proven over and over again that they can freeze and seize assets that are kept under their control at will (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc…) why would any sane world leader trust the West with their countries money or security?  I’m surprised more aren’t following suit and dis-investing in the West…

What it all means is that the world realizes that money kept in the USA and Western Europe is not a safe bet anymore. In fact it is a unwise move and that issues has been brought about by the actions of the Western world…

This is enough gold to cause a serious implosion: This could be considered an outright attack on the West as major financial markets. This is a big question mark on the West as a safe place to keep your gold and other assets. Could this start a run on pulling gold from the US, UK, European Union and Switzerland? I see by Google that Venezuela’s gold reserves are 13th in the world. This might have much more dire consequences than Venezuela understands. The Western press has already started the propaganda and the commentators have already taken up the war cry against Venezuela. But then maybe they do understand and the consequences of leaving the gold in the West is greater than taking it back home where it belongs…

What will happen to Venezuela, over this move? Right now this is a staggering amount of money (11 billion in gold, not worthless paper). The West is broke (very broke) and most likely does not have enough gold to do what is necessary or really does not want to return the gold. The West can not afford any more countries to want their gold which is stored in the Western vaults. In a fair world nothing will happen, but in the Western world who sees this as a challenge to her empire. The repercussions are sever. That is what keeps more countries from pulling their assets… (right now at least)

It is called ruling by “Terror”…

In the name of national security on the Web, blockage is thy name…

I thought it would be interesting to show you the list of sites that are now being blocked from being shown in Ukraine. What started out as just a blockage on Windows to Russia has now grown and encompassed at least two servers. 180.92.169.153 and 180.92.169.158…

My host is not sure what is happening and as you can see at the bottom of the list it also includes one of their own main domains. (znet) The list is growing daily…

My host has been working on this since I got back and it is a real puzzle. It is now a blockage somewhere between Ukraine and India in the web system. As you know Ukraine allowed me to have access again to the site Windows to Russia. They were true to their word and did. Then as my time in Ukraine ended the site was blocked again. Ukraine said that they did not do it this time. The first time was during a lot of political issues happening downtown Kiev. I was asked to stay away and I did. After a lot of testing on the second blockage, I now believe them on the new issue. But someone has extended the blockage and it now affects many sites that originally when located in Ukraine it did not affect: (See list below)

What we do know is that this is a beta software that was used. It came from a Western source. It was admitted to have been tested in Ukraine. But now it seems to have either caused a huge issue or is still in effect outside of Ukraine. (the latter is my guess) Ukraine internally has been cleared on the second blockage…

If we find the core of the issue, I will post all details. This is starting to look like governments will be blocking at will and that testing on this issue is being done world wide. It looks like in the name of national security, blockage is thy name…

The beginnings have started and you will see blockage of Twitter and Facebook as common place in the future. Belarus just blocked VKontakte a social network site in Russia, due to social unrest. The West said very little about it because, well they want to do it also. Britain, France and America has huge desires to block Twitter and Facebook and you can not be bad mouthing people when you want to do the same…
