Shell Game is a gambling game that makes it hard for the player to win. Unless you are able to see through the shell, the odds are that you have no idea where the ball is at. That ball in this case is S-300 missiles and as Russia shuffles the Shell Game during her chess moves. Those S-300 missiles are somewhere under those shells…

Like a Shell Game. Russia has made it clear that those S-300 Missiles Systems are in Russia, on the ocean, in a shipping crate , in Syria and or all the above. Russia has made her own version of the Shell Game and it includes a half dozen shells…

Take your pick Western Empire, for Russia is playing with you and you deserve it…

Today adding to the Shell Game, Russians Generals have been talking about how many S-300 missile systems that are needed for Syria to kick anyone’s ass, if they try to invade Syria. It has become accepted that 10 S-300 missile divisions would do the job and that is what needs to be – sent to Syria? Or is in Syria? Or is on its way to Syria? Or, Or, Or and more Or…

Shell Game – Who knows what?

Israel acknowledged that they will deal with the missiles once they are in Syria and not stop the shipment. America does not know what the hell is going on and was lost at the first shuffling of the Shell Game. The rest of the western world is in riots and the largest part of the whole world is running around cheering for Syria and Russia…

Kinda embarrassing for an American like me, to tell the truth…

I have to say that I have watched Russia change big time on media instigation and media propaganda. It has never been a strong point for Russia and or the Soviet Union and times are changing. Russian media is getting smarter and sneakier…

Russia plays Chess and now has learned to play Shell Game at the same time…

Ractopamine has crushed the US pork industry: I have watched this transaction by China to buy the US company called Smithfield Foods. Smithfield is the largest producer of pork in the world and it should make you do some thinking’s as to why the so called largest pork producer in the world needs to be bought and saved by a Chinese company?

Russia was a key player in this whole transaction and when Russia killed the import of American beef, pork and turkey imports owing to the use of the chemical called ractopamine. I understood then that the wind was blowing in a different direction on world food production. I have several articles about food items being shipped out of America and none of them are a good thing, like in a bad thing. The battle over illegal food substances is a world problem and as usual the US is in the front of the word, “Bad!”

Ractopamine, Russia and China work together:

Smithfield went under when Russia, literally its biggest buyer of ractopamine laced pork said, “No more meat until you give proof that ractopamine is not used in the production of that meat…”

At the same time and not expounded upon very much in the press,

“China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine told US agencies in Beijing that exporters had to provide additional documents to certify the US pork is ractopamine-free…”

Oops! And I am sure that those documents were provided as fast as possible? (No? Seriously?)

China was going to block imports of pork also and then when Smithfield who went way over their head in debt, because Russia quit buying that non-certified pork and other meat products and Smithfield could not produce legit guarantees that the chemical was not in the meat. The scenery unfolds as you see it today…

China has many reasons to do this and some of those reasons are – Food demands, control of markets, dumping dollars and resource allocations. Russia had good reasons to go along with this undermining, in the fact that they are developing their own hog market and it is now self sufficient to supply the Russian people with pork. Like Chickens, Pork no longer needs to be imported to Russia. Soon beef will follow that pattern…

It is a classic “give enough rope and hang yourself” deal and that translates into a China who is flush with funny monopoly American money and looking for a place to spend it; Why not at the funny money home?

A parting thinking: “The USA has shot itself in the foot over GMO foods, antibiotic laced foods, ractopamine laced foods and Monsantosizing the country. Just take the latest wheat fiasco – Rope + Time = Hung!”

If the world was a cookbook it would be called “Recipes WW3” and if it was an info-commercial, they would throw volumes: “Recipes WW1 and Recipes WW2!” in as a bonus – “To buy now…”

Recipes WW3:

So it is time to buy that book of delicious recipes and make yourself a “Seven Course Meal!” For you do not want to miss out of the taste treats that are being served up to the whole world…

The lies are flying,

the world is in a haze,

the people are dying

and we avert one’s gaze…

The old saying by Einstein: I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones…

S-300 Missile System: Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad has made it clear to AL-Manar TV Lebanon that Syria has received the first batch of Russia-made long-range surface-to-air missiles. It seems that they were received about the time that Israel’s Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) paid a visit to Russia to speak to Putin about those same missiles…

From what I understand through the grapevine in Russia is that Putin made it clear that Israels sneaky attacks into Syria were unacceptable. Little known is that Netanyahu was called to Russia by Putin and Netanyahu did not waste anytime getting to Russia. The game changers have been put in place by Putin, such as warships near Israel and doubling the fleet in Syria. The S-300 Missile System is to ensure that the west plays fair and this missile system is shipped in a cargo box that is common all over the world…

See this link: Interesting Russian Weapon I Found: Club-K the cargo ship defense…

S-300 Missile System, is it a game changer? We will see…

I might add that the next shipment of advanced S-300 missile system is on its way as we read this, according to local news?

Russian news has said, “This news is as a wake up call for Russia’s global partners, but underscored how Moscow was not going to revise its stance.” As such, the news that the EU is lifting the offensive weapons ban on Syria definitely allows Russia to do as she pleases and arm the Syrian government to the teeth…

And I was resoundingly attacked over the fact that I said, “Syria is a Proxy War between the east and west!”

So did the S-300 Missile System get delivered? We may never know, but really we need to hope that we never know…

Remember: Russia Plays Chess and the West Plays Checkers…

Media Concentration: Concentration of media ownership (also known as media consolidation or media convergence) is a process whereby progressively fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media. Contemporary research demonstrates increasing levels of consolidation, with many media industries already highly concentrated and dominated by a very small number of firms…

Degree of Media Concentration in G8 Countries:

Below the percentage represents value of TV distribution market (cable companies, satellite dish companies) controlled by companies that also create TV content (broadcasters, production companies). In order of outstanding to unpleasant and the more diminutive the percent is, the more desirable the outcome…

8. Russia – 0%
7. Germany – 7.1%
6. United States – 23.1%
5. France – 27%
4. United Kingdom – 31%
3. Italy – 33%
2. Japan – 37.5%
1. Canada – 81.4%

Well, well, well and some more well!

Just look at Russia and you will see some of that freedom and liberty that I am talking about. Remember this is the G8 that we are talking about and media concentration is a very important tool used by the west to control the population, within the countries boundaries…

I was not surprised by Germany, but Canada was a surprise to me. Freedom is not a controlled press or media of any type. It is strange because this is the most important type of control that I see affecting our world and we do not even look at it as a serious issue; Shouldn’t that mean anything to us?

Media concentration is a “Big Brother – 1984 phenomenon!”

Yes we have lots of degrading of our freedoms and they are being done right under our noses, during our normalcy induced state of inactivity resembling, unconsciousness, dormancy or hibernation on our part…

Media concentration is a bad thing…

S-300 missile systems: Why it was just a few days ago that the western media word was out and about that, “Israel talked Russia out of delivering the S-300 missile systems.” Now Russia made sure to counteract the wishful thinking’s of the western world…

“We think this delivery (S-300 missile systems) is a stabilizing factor and that such steps in many ways restrain some “hotheads” from exploring scenarios in which this conflict could be given an international character with participation of outside forces,” said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov…

Other words: It has been proven that if the deterrent is not at a high enough level, then the West will destroy a country to produce the results that they want to happen. Or to gather resources to enable the western war machine to fuel its weapons…

I think it is time that Russia, China plus Iran get together and draw that red line deep in the sand. Make the West think twice before they jump that Rubicon river again…

Gazprom from Russia:

They say that a dollar does not buy much these days, but I have a gaz (gas) deal for you and it cost a dollar. Now of course there is stipulations that go with that dollar and one of them is that Gazprom will invest $640,000,000 in the next five years to build up the gas infrastructure in Kyrgyzstan. It seems that even with all the gas that Kyrgyzstan has under the ground, none of it is available to the country herself, as it imports all gas needed and Russia’s Gazprom will change that…

The understanding that I get from all this is that Kyrgyzstan needs 500 million cubic meters of gas a year and that will be supplied by Gazprom free of charge. Well not free, Gazprom gets the rest of the gas and sells it to the world. Seems to be a win win deal for both sides and Kyrgyzstan needs energy security, Gazprom will supply that and more…

Putin made this deal late last year and Kyrgyzstan has just now finalized it…

It is how deals are suppose to be done in the world and it helps both parties involved. Belarus has seen the light of cooperation and I am now seeing Ukraine waking up to the fact that cooperation gets much lower gas prices. I also see a world waking up to the fact that countries have to create their own financial, social and military aspects and use these new tools to help protect each other against bully countries that want to steal resources…

Lets hope that the world survives long enough to implement the new system and stop the spread of the false western democracy in its tracks. For if we do not put an end to the cancer, it will be terminal…

Memorial Day: I sipped that cup of coffee here in Russia and did some thinking’s about Memorial day. The day has several meanings to me and none of them are good. My dad was in Korea, several of my uncles in WW2, Grandpa in WW1 and then me in (Don’t want to talk about it! Silence!)…

I studied the comments all over the world coming from America about this holiday. It is either pretty hateful or very ignorant from what I am seeing and no one, but no one has a real grasp on what memorial day is really about. I see either 49% charge head long into worship of the dead soldiers or 49% worship the BBQ grill, cases of beer and a three day weekend. The 2% left over understand what is really going on… (Silence is best!)

I looked at a photo album of pictures of me and my friends, guys who have all been dead a long time now. They never made it back and they all died because we sent them to fight a war that was a lie… (Silence)

Memorial Day – Let me tell you a  story:

I was shot in the back, upper right shoulder. It was a spent bullet and had just enough oomph to embedded itself into my shoulder, with half of it sticking out. The doc at the time was named Stitches and he laughed at me and said, “Bet you think this is a million dollar wound? Nope sorry, it is a buck ninety five…” Then with that he took a pair of regular pliers and yanked that bullet out. Cleaned it up, dumped sulfur on the wound, finally stitched it up and wrapped my shoulder up. Then slapped me on the bad shoulder and said, “Go kill someone for shooting you!”

Two days later, I was holding a dirty muddy cloth against a chest wound, pumping out blood from a heart that had been hit with shrapnel, on that same doctor Stiches and as he died – he grinned and said, “Now that is a million dollar wound!”

I have a large lump where the bullet hit me and everyday it reminds me of life and how “easy come, easy go” life is…

Now that is a Memorial Day…

Have a safe holiday…

It is summer and it is also time for a cold salad recipe. In Russia cottage cheese is very abundant and very popular. Cottage cheese in Russia would be better termed “Tvorog” and is ideal for making a salad with. No excess moisture and delicious in flavor…

So as usual there is a million versions of any recipe made in Russia and since tomatoes -n- peppers are plentiful right now in Russia, lets make a salad that is healthy and delicious at the same time…

Ingredients for Recipe:

Tomatoes – 2 medium
Olives – 2-3 Tbs
Sweet red or yellow pepper- 1 each (or some of both)
Dill weed, parsley- to taste
Salt – to taste
pepper – taste (Russians are not big ground pepper eaters, but I am :))
Cottage cheese – 3 Tbs

Preparation of Recipe:

Slice tomatoes and olives. Cut sweet pepper into small cubes. Finely chop dill and parsley.
Mix all with cottage cheese and add salt/pepper to taste. Decorate the Cottage Cheese Salad with olives on top…

Thoughts:

Use any type of raw vegetables that you want. It is really a very simple recipe and as most Russian recipes, it is rich in flavor and protein. Russian usually make this salad at the cook out as it is that easy to make and everyone tries to get at least one serving as the bowl is passed around…

Did you know that Russia has the largest sailing ship in the world at her command? – Kruzenshtern…

The Kruzenshtern dated 1926, from the Bremerhaven, Germany shipyard. She was initially called the Padua. This sailing vessel is still used as a training vessel for Russia. The video tells and shows what it is all about!

I simple love these huge sailing ships and acquired a desire to sail from my Dad on a several small sailboats when growing up. (A windmill and Flying Junior – I know tiny!)

Lets see what Wikipedia has to say about the Kruzenshtern sailing vessel:

The Krusenstern or Kruzenshtern (Russian: Барк «Крузенштерн») is a Russian four masted barque and tall ship that was built in 1926 in Bremerhaven-Wesermünde, Germany, as shipyard number “S408” under the name Padua (named after the eponymous Italian city). She was given to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation and renamed after the early 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern (1770-1846).

Of the four remaining Flying P-Liners, the Ex-Padua is the only one still in use, mainly for training purposes, with her home ports in Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg) and Murmansk. After the Sedov, another former German ship, she is the largest traditional sailing vessel still in operation.

Originally, like all P-liners, Kruzenshtern was painted according to the colors of the German national flag of the German Empire era, black (hull above water, topsides), white (waterline area) and red (underwater body).

The Kruzenshtern led the majestic international procession of tall ships into New York Harbor for Operation Sail on Sunday, July 4, 1976.

The only thing that information lead me to do was see what a barque type ship is:

By the end of the eighteenth century, however, the term barque (sometimes, particularly in the USA, spelled bark) came to refer to any vessel with a particular type of sail-plan. This comprises three (or more) masts, fore-and-aft sails on the after most mast and square sails on all other masts. Barques were the workhorse of the Golden Age of Sail in the mid 19th century as they attained passages that nearly matched full rigged ships but could operate with smaller crews.

Any young man training on this craft will have many stories to tell later in life. I would have loved to have been on the crew of this ship (Kruzenshtern) when I was in my youth.
