Everyday our American government laughs at her people as she speaks with a forked tongue to the huge amount of simpletons that listen: Syria is the message of deceit and it is Libya all over again. When are we going to say enough is enough…

So officially : Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has voiced his support for the Syrian uprising in a new video message released on jihadist Internet forums, US monitors said Sunday.

He called on Muslims to support the uprising and remove the current regime which he condemned as anti-Islam.

The Al-Qaeda leader described the government of President Bashar al-Assad as a “pernicious, cancerous regime that suffocates the free people in Syria.”

Lets hear a huge cheer everyone! After all it can only get worse from here on out…

Al-Qaeda is against Syria just as they did in Libya. Now lets support them and give them money because they are doing a good thing that makes US happy. I remember well that we bombed the hell out of Libya to support the Al-Qaeda. Then we turned around in the news less than a month after killing Libya and proclaimed that Al-Qaeda is our mortal enemy…

Now we support the Al-Qaeda again as we want to kill Syria…

I wish America would make up her mind! Is Al-Qaeda our till death to we part enemies or what?

According to what I understand, the West should be in Syria helping to take out the Al-Qaeda. We must stop them at all cost…

The War on Terror (also known as the Global War on Terror or the War on Terrorism) is a term commonly applied to an international military campaign led by the United States and the United Kingdom with the support of other NATO as well as non-NATO countries. The campaign was waged against al-Qaeda and other militant organizations with the purpose of eliminating them. Al-Qaeda..

America is the best at – carrying fire in one hand and water in the other! We are duplicitous…

Moscow will suspend the adoption of Russian children by U.S. citizens until the Russian-U.S. adoption deal comes into force, Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.

The move comes after series of incidents involving the mistreatment of adopted Russian children in the United States.

“Regarding the incessant series of crimes in the United States against adopted Russian children, Russian Foreign Ministry rules that the adoption procedures for the U.S. citizens should be suspended until the Russian-U.S. adoption deal, signed on July 13, 2011, comes into force,” the ministry said in a statement.

Russia and the United States signed a bilateral adoption agreement in July which states several important points, including psychological testing of the adoptive parents as well as obliges adoptive parents to work with only accredited adoption agencies.

According to the Ministry, the U.S. district court in Pennsylvania issued “an unreasonably mild sentence on February 3 to Theresa McNulty who brutally abused her Russian adoptee, a 6-year-old Dasha.”

McNulty, who first attracted police’s attention in 2009 when the local hospital’s staff reported about a 3-year-old child, suffering severe injuries across her body, was sentenced to 23 months in jail with a possibility to be freed on parole in eight-month time.

“It is the new case of violence against a Russian child in the United States, about which the Department of State informed us only three years after the crime had been committed,” the Ministry said, adding that this situation posed serious concerns about the U.S. authorities’ capability to protect the rights of Russian adopted children.”

Russia is one of the largest sources of foreign adoptions for U.S. families. The latest official figures show that about 60,000 children born in Russia have been adopted by families in the United States since the adoptions started more than 15 years ago. As of January, 2011, 17 Russian children adopted by U.S. parents have died as a result of child abuse.

The Foreign Ministry also pledged to toughen requirements for other foreign adoptive families.

Hmmm!

Sometimes it gets so cold that you can hear your breath tinkle as the vapor freezes instantly as you breath. Then when the wind is blowing and the snow is falling, you have one of those days that even the dog does not care to hang around outside very long…

Today is one of those days. It is snowing a very very fine powdery misty snow that is able to make its way into all cracks and crevices. You know that type of snow that sifts down the back of your neck through the tiny little airspace that you did not know was there. Then top it off with -20 C and you shiver just thinking about it…

Russia is the place that it stays cold so long that you learn not to wear gloves but mittens. Yes those unmanly things that keep all your fingers together in one space so as not to freeze them and allow them to break off like a icicle hanging from a roof edge. Mittens were what I wore as a little kid but believe you me, mittens are perfect in Russia…

I love the weather here and love Winter the most. Once again as in the past years, the snow is packed in a two foot layer of ice that is so hard it takes a bulldozer to crack it. Russians in Moscow do not get the pleasure of having snow and then it melts, that often and the start of the new year was exciting for people around here. The snow could be used to make snowmen and snow women. That is rare, but now it is business as normal. It snows everyday and the masses of people pack that layer onto the others. Till we have a glacier to walk on…

So on a day like today you have to have a big mug of coffee chicory, warm blankets and your special sweetie to snuggle with. That is what I am going to do and I am sure that Boza will join the group… 🙂

Have a good weekend…

I was drinking that cup of coffee this morning and after getting off the chat system with a friend in America who was up exceptionally late. I started to do some thinking’s about what I picked up from him as an underlining tone. The other day I saw remarks made by other acquaintances that have compounded what I am about to write about and they go along with what I was talking about the sentence before this one…

Golly Kyle! What the hell are you talking about? Good question…

I am talking about the Western news does not like and despises that RT is so anti-western…

I admit that RT has a thing to talk America down and that RT has a real undertone of propaganda that is anti-American. I agree but I have to say that the Western Media deserves it…

RT is about the only tool that Russia uses to try to counter the hundreds of ant-Russian items daily in the Western press. Oh ok so you say that there is Voice of Russia and RIA. That is really not true…

Voice of Russia and RIA while have their ant-USA moments are also balanced with pro-USA, pro-Russian and anti-Russian news. In fact they upset me at times because they are always printing lies from the Western press and I have even commented on their articles, that they need to check their stories out and quit printing the trash from the West…

But I have stopped to realize that I respect RIA and VoA more for its printing of both sides and not whitewashing one side over the other. I enjoy RT very much but I also realize that they are printing what we on this side of the world want to hear and see. They make anti-American videos just to push American buttons and they are doing a good job at that… 🙂

RT is doing its job and doing its job very well, as the readership and coverage is growing exponentially. They are become a threat in America to the American media and it shows…

I prefer RIA as a news source because it gives me the opportunity to dislike what I decide to dislike and it does not make up my mind for me as most other so called MSM’s do…

In the West the option to choose is removed from the equation. It is basically one-sided and that side is strongly predetermined. This is exactly how RT comes across and that is on purpose because you have to fight fire with fire at times in this world. RT is flaming the anti-American bull and proud of it. I enjoy them for that, as do many many other Americans…

I have seen people who will post a RT video that the American crowd will see and they try to apologize about where the video came from. That makes me sad and laugh at the same time. If you feel that way do not post it, but if the video is truth, then post it with no apologies. I use their stuff all the time and guess what? Many times they are correct. Maybe correct hurts but they are correct…

Us Americans like to degrade RT then, because they are users of Skype and such for interviews. That their interviews are crazy people. That RT is nothing but a propaganda machine. Well okay that is true, but you better look in the mirror because your press in America is all nothing but crazy people and propaganda machines. Use of Skype is cool and cheap for the budget minded, we do not all have trillion dollar budgets and our own satellites to convey interviews. Lets also not even forget to look at the United Kingdom, as they rival everyone else on the propaganda machines…

But if I want the news of what is really happening, I look at the Russian, Chinese and Indian language sites first. Then I look for the English translations of the articles or I translate myself. Then post the information. RIA will be the most proficient translator of said articles. RIA works overtime to put out all sides of the news whether I or you, like all sides or not…

You cannot say that about your favorite Western news source unless it is a blog or forum. The MSM in the West is strictly a controlled media for the masses: Large news conglomerates, including newspapers and broadcast media, which underwent successive mergers in the U.S. and elsewhere at an increasing rate beginning in the 1990s, are often referenced by the term (MSM). This concentration of media ownership has raised concerns of a homogenization of viewpoints presented to news consumers. Consequently, the term mainstream media has been widely used in conversation and the blogosphere, often in oppositional, pejorative, or dismissive senses, in discussion of the mass media and media bias. (This comes out of Wiki)

Oh and I have one last place to get the truth even if it is covered in bull! Have you ever tried the Onion? It has got to be the most accurate but inaccurate media caricaturist  I have ever seen. Some of the stuff is so true, but presented in a so untrue way that you can not help but get the point. Take this latest example:

http://www.theonion.com/articles/iran-worried-us-might-be-building-8500th-nuclear-w,27325/

TEHRAN—Amidst mounting geopolitical tensions, Iranian officials said Wednesday they were increasingly concerned about the United States of America’s uranium-enrichment program, fearing the Western nation may soon be capable of producing its 8,500th nuclear weapon. “Our intelligence estimates indicate that, if it is allowed to progress with its aggressive nuclear program, the United States may soon possess its 8,500th atomic weapon capable of reaching Iran,” said Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi, adding that Americans have the fuel, the facilities, and “everything they need” to manufacture even more weapons-grade fissile material. “Obviously, the prospect of this happening is very distressing to Iran and all countries like Iran. After all, the United States is a volatile nation that’s proven it needs little provocation to attack anyone anywhere in the world whom it perceives to be a threat.” Iranian intelligence experts also warned of the very real, and very frightening, possibility of the U.S. providing weapons and resources to a rogue third-party state such as Israel.

I had such a good laugh at that article, then I frowned because it hit me, what was I laughing at? The article is true but yet us Americans think that the world should be soooo happy that we have the capabilities of creating nuclear bombs all the time. There is no one to stop us and we have proven that we will attack you and destroy your ass.  Even if you did nothing wrong…

There is a message in that article as there is in many of their articles.

We live in a very lopsided world. Yes we do and one day it will correct itself…

The double standard approach is hard not to notice, says author and journalist Chris Hedges, who is an American journalist, author, war correspondent, and public intellectual specializing in American and Middle Eastern politics and societies. He gave this thought to Russia Today in an interview…

“If you’re our thug, you’re okay and if you’re their thug, you’re not. For all of us that have been overseas, the duplicity and hypocrisy of American foreign policy is painfully evident,”.

That sums that up sufficiently and for those who have never been out of the borders of America, then that type of awakening and enlightenment is awaiting you, if you will just leave the US and spend some quality time looking at the world as a real place. Not something that comes over the TV screen as a news flash…

Without any doubt there may be western planted armed forces walking the ground in Syria and this explains now in part the huge amount of hysteria behind the UNSC resolution that was vetoed by Russia and China. Basically because of those vetoes, promises fell through to have air cover by a certain time frame. Those armed forces are left stranded without any safe havens to work from, so the job now for the western planted armed forces has become very much more difficult and to the point of dangerous. Basically as per the actions of the last few days by the West, Syria now has a full on western backed insurgency. The interesting thing is that whilst the US thinks it is OK to drone kill civilians at their wimp and whim, as they deal with insurgents as they see fit, with no tolerance of questions pertaining to why they do what they do. They think Syria needs to somehow lay down their arms and cut their own throats when dealing with insurgents themselves – nevertheless then again, nothing unique about the Western viewpoint there, it is obvious to the main part of the world, that the hallmark of the western world – is pure hypocrisy!

Paul Wen from China!

The views of the above author are not strictly the views of Windows to Russia. They are an independent view from an outside source and country that brings a better light on the would in general and Windows to Russia is pleased to have Paul Wen’s thoughts on its pages today…

I have been for years now talking about the rift that is normal between the East and the West, but I have also talked about that the rift has been getting unstable and growing apart. This dividing line so to speak between the East and West is becoming so wide that leaping it is a chore instead of a pleasure…

The Chinese news is awash with separation issue, as is the Russian press dwelling on the subject also…

February 9 (BEIJING) — China and Russia should exert efforts to overcome the Syrian crisis and prevent the country from disintegration, the Huanqiu Shibao (Global Times) newspaper writes on Thursday.

The publication notes that “the vetoes by China and Russia have deprived the West of a convenient excuse to launch direct military action, meaning the Syrian opposition will not receive overall support as it was given to the NTC in Benghazi during the Libyan civil war.”.

I find it interesting how different the East and West look at things and it seems to me that the world is shifting polarity on its views in politics and humanity…

I use to see the West as the humane ones and the East as the evil, that scourges the earth. Oh – I am not fooled and realize that the West in the past has had her bad points, but it just seems that at one time in America, we had much more good and honest people in all walks of life..

Maybe I was naive then but it just seems that rule of law, peace, human rights, privacy, respect, freedoms and liberty had a much higher precedence in America. I did not have to look over my shoulder and wonder if someone is watching me all the time. I never thought about, is my telephone tapped or should I watch what I say to people…

I received this e-mail yesterday that the contents actually woke me up thinking in the middle of the night. I will post one paragraph of the e-mail that really got me thinking. I will not give names because I am sure that they would not want that and I respect them too much to break their privacy…

“I, too, am too old to fight because it would be Americans fighting Americans, brother against brother, mother against children, children against parents, UGLY! To me that is against the grain and every fiber of my being. In Russia you are free enough to write but not so here. I fully expect that our access to the internet will be taken down eventually. There will still be the games we can play, solitaire to amuse ourselves, knitting and crocheting doilies, chatting about the weather over the backyard fence, etc. Life goes on but tyranny digs its own grave, that is for sure. This, too, will pass.”

The excerpt above is from a reader of one of my last articles. This person has been around, done that, seen that, been there and lived a fuller life than 95% of us. I take what they say to me at face value, because they do not mince words. This e-mail has come from a person who loves America with all there heart and they are saddened by what they see happening in America…

The part that stuck in my gizzard was, “In Russia you are free enough to write but not so here.” That seems like a mild statement, but in all reality it is a monumental statement that expresses what the reasoning for all other statements that they said.

You really need to understand the realities: “I as an American in Russia have more freedoms, more liberties, more peace, more quiet, more expressions, more help, more safety, more future, more abilities, more individualism, more opportunities, more respect and just about anything else you can think of. Than I do as an American in the USA, my own country…”

Yes – I am free enough to be able to write in Russia and that is why I was forced to move my servers to Russia. I am freer to write in Russia, as the Department of Homeland Security tries to take my website down, just as they tried again last night… (Almost every night!)

I guess that I am a threat because so many are listening now. I have been averaging 128,000 page views a day now for over two weeks. That is around 89 hits a minute average or about 5300 an hour. Otherwords, when you are reading this article, you are not alone and by the time you are done reading the article you will have a hundred new friends reading it with you. Those numbers above excludes search spyders, spam and other trash. If you want total activity then you must look at around 300,000 average per day. That is why my server goes up in smoke, when the DHS decides to attack. I have enough going on without their help to increase my page views… 🙂

The blog has increased in volume tremendously since moving the server to being Russian based…

That freedom in America was really squelching the site…

PS: I want to thank a few people for donations! They asked not to be identified.  But they did not ask me not to thank them. If Windows to Russia gets enough cash together, then we can upgrade the server again. We need more ram and processor. Right now we are running on a base economy VPS and it would be nice to get a little buffer to be able to ward off DHS attacks…

“Of course, we condemn any violence from whatever side it is coming from, but one cannot act like an elephant in a china shop,” the Prime Minister Putin said at a meeting with representatives of Russia’s major religions on Wednesday. “People should be allowed to decide their future themselves.”

Elephant in a china shop! I like that, that is the same as a “Bull in a china closet!”

How true he speaks about the West…
