The Texet was 10 rubles under 3000 rubles and I found the equivalent in an Android smartphone, made by Acer. The Acer was 10 rubles under 3000 rubles also. 3000 rubles is about $65 for those of you who need to know…

Sixty Five Dollars and one of them (Texet) is indestructible and it really is. The other is a Kit Kat smartphone with everything this guy needs to continue his Android exploitations. Neither is expensive and both are fantastic phones…

At the average iPhone 6 64 gig price of 44,000 rubles, I can buy about 15 Acers or Texets or a combination of both… (Price today, will change downward with time!)

At the average price of a Note 3 by Samsung of 21,500 rubles, I can buy about 7 Acers or Texets or a combination of both… (Price today, will change downward with time!)

So now I am at a quandary as to why people spend so much on phones, when there is perfectly good cheap phones to do the job as good or better. I am guilty of this revelation and have done my share of consumerism in the past, remember I am an American and raised in a consumer world of the highest degree…

I performed this  switching of mentality, because I have destroyed so many phones. I almost ended up without a phone that could be used as communication. I broke them, bricked them and crushed them. I am hard on phones, so I needed a phone that could take it, no Android like operating system, no weak spots, great reception, and battery life unexcelled. The Texet fulfills the job, but I realized that I needed a phone to work on Android with, and therefore the Acer Liquid Z200 became born as an idea…

An old dog can be taught new tricks or as in this case an old bear. Therefore, I realize that I can destroy a $1000 iPhone just as easy as I can destroy a $100 smartphone…

So, when are we gonna make an end to the NWO (New World Order) and start with the PWO (Peace World Order) where there is place and respect for every creature on this planet?

I decided that we need to get on the band wagon and start something important. I woke up last night to the realization that the NWO is defecating all over the creatures on this planet we call Earth. Yes, defecating is correct and we are (all of us big or small,) the recipients of the sweet smell of the planets richest and most powerful people, their defecation smothers us…

PWO or as it is short for Peace World Order, is simply put, “A world that instills peace for all on the planet, as the number one priority!”

Now I am not sure who will run it, but it needs to be done, for the system we have now is broke and killing us. God does not care and he tossed the rope to us, to hang ourselves with, many years ago…

No one to blame but ourselves…

I for one would like to give the rope back to him and prove him wrong…

“A president is a high-level official who is elected to carry out a function. He is not a king, not a god. He is not the witch doctor of a tribe who knows everything. He is a civil servant. I think the ideal way of living is to live like the vast majority of people whom we attempt to serve and represent,”  – José Mujica president of Uruguay…

Sveta is the true photographer of the family and it is proven to me by a photo that she sent yesterday to me after her lunch break walk time. It is perfect and catches the innocence of a living creature, just trying to get a meal and be left alone by all…

Of course he was glad to pose for Sveta, as he munched an acorn from an Oak tree nearby…

All of God’s creatures are what makes life worth living…

Sveta had help in the above image; she was being approved whether or not she was taking a good enough photo of the friend to the butterfly on her hand. Sveta was given the go ahead and snapped a picture…

The town we live at in Russia, is extremely rich in history and things to do. Yesterday Sveta and I went to a museum of Butterflies and we took a walk around a fountain park, near the aerospace industry…

We also saw a place that Lenin worked at when he was just a normal sort of fella…

But the butterfly museum was the most fun as butterflies and moths swarmed around all the people trying to take pictures of them…

Then of course nothing is complete in Russia, unless you see an Orthodox church and we have a beauty near where we were traipsing yesterday…

Back to the museum and lets look at the chrysalis…

Actually yesterday made me very happy and I realize that Sveta is simply the best girl in the world. She likes the same things I do and she likes to go places with me; Even butterfly museums…

Imagine that…

I found out this weekend that a blogging friend of mine died last week. He had a very good blog, and I enjoyed his posts tremendously. He went silent in September and I attributed it to his heart issues, but not to death, for he had last year had surgery and was doing better… (At least he said he was!)

Robert MacDonald lived in Russia at least 14 years, was 71 years old at time of death, had a wonderful Russian wife and he was endeared to the Russian dacha that they had. He was able to spend one last summer in their dacha and I know that meant a lot to him.  He was analytical to a fault and detailed to perfection and found Russia a place of interesting contrasts…

In his words; “St Petersburg, Leningrad oblast, RussiaScottish parents… US Navy sailor, NJ teacher, insurance agency owner… expatriate since 2000.”

This is what I wrote about him, many years ago (http://windowstorussia.com/thoughts-from-russia-with-coffee.html)…

That settled I thought about a very good article that I read yesterday. It was about the doctor care in Russia. It was called, Limitations of Russian Medical Care by American Russia Observations Blog…

Robert MacDonald the owner of the blog has a flare for much detail that I really like. He has lived in Russia a long time and I only hope that I may live here that long also…

The article caught my interest because I have much of the same experience as he does with Russian medical care and I, much like him, have had good experiences with Russian medical care and doctors…

His blog reminds me that, No it is not a perfect world but with the right attitude you come to an understanding that not all glitters with gold in America and not all is dirt in Russia…

I will miss his writings, for I saw a man who succeeded in Russia, while having some serious issues back home in America. He had a wife who tried to live in America and that was a whole another issue in itself, You need to read his blog, for it tells the trials and tribulations of an American that found a good home in Russia…

Rest in Peace: Robert MacDonald and may his wife Larissa be blessed for putting up with one of us unruly Americans…

In the west they would rather play games and play smoke and mirrors, than tell the truth or allow the truth to be predominant. The latest surge by the west in scallywagging against Russia is and always has reasons behind it. The more the media lies and skanks against Russia, the bigger the surprise that shows up down the road…

Today we find out that a second huge pipeline with China is falling into place and soon it is starting to look like Europe will be in heavy competition for Russian gas and oil. Europe can thank themselves and Ukraine for all the excellent issues that have turned Russia away from caring if Europe freezes to death, or not in the winter and Europe has the US and cronies to thank for future extreme prices on fuel…

It is simple and efficient; get along as friends and real partners with Russia and gas is cheap and plentiful. This is changing, for India is trying to gather gas and oil from Russia and as you can see by the image above, China has secured the energy it needs…

Tidbit fact: The Altai route to China will become Russia’s biggest gas customer. The ability of the pipeline to supply China with 68 bcm of gas annually, surpasses the 40 bcm it supplies Germany each year…. (Lets add another pipeline to that and watch the gas flow!)

If the shift east continues and India gets a pipeline also, then South Stream may end up in the trash can, for who in Europe is going to be able to pay the bills anyway? They already are paying for the gas for Ukraine and a few more additions to the nipple and Europe becomes a failed entity called EU…

The two new pipelines to remember are called; Power of Siberia pipeline and the Altai pipeline, both to China…

But as long as you watch and listen to nothing but western media, then you only know that Russia is a baby eating, sick, evil and depressed country that needs to be saved by democracy, before it falls permanently under the hands of the devil himself; Putin…

Wake up people and look around…

Honestly, the western media hype over Putin and Russia has reached a scale unseen in history. There just is nothing that Russia does right and every other sentence from the western media is something along the lines of about how Russia is sinking away into the swamp of evil despair…

Smart people ignore it and that therein belies the issue…

“OMG! Do they really eat BABIES for Sunday in Russia? OMG,” said the little bird who everyone seems to listens to…

Russia testing nuke missiles, China testing nuke missiles, US testing nuke missiles, and so on and so on. I wish it was saber-rattling, but a saber is not a nuke and to rattle nukes is akin to using a broad sword to pick your teeth vs using a toothpick to clean your teeth…

Nuke rattling!

In America mid-term elections are over; Now we can do lots wrong and point fingers at the democrats for a while. For the brainless walking dead in America will forget all the sins committed during the next year. Or so the Republicans hope. Time means nothing to a politician, for they live only for the instant gratification of the dollar and their narcissism…

I realize that marijuana has many medical purposes and hope that we exploit the good  of the drug. I also hope we exploit the value of hemp as a viable product, but I am not in agreement with what effects it has on humans and their ability to function (as everyone and their dog smokes it.) Sooner than later the US will be a marihoochie country and then we will see some serious degradation of the social and moral structure at that point…

Oh and you are thinking that we are at the bottom now? Sorry, but we can fall much farther and we will…

Decisions – decisions, it is time to start my OS experiments again…

1. I am looking at two cellphones…
2. Both the same size…
3. Both make phone calls…
4. Both have the latest and greatest OS…
5. Both have tons of apps to choose from…
6. Both last the same amount of time per battery charge…
7. Both have literally same talk time…
8. Both are touch screen…
9. Both play music, videos, and have WiFi, GPS, and everything else exactly the same…
10. One is an Apple product and the other is an Acer product…
11. One costs 79,000 rubles in Russia and the other costs 2890 rubles in Russia…
12. (Then I held (for caca and haha ) a Virtu with a crystal screen and it said it cost, (drum roll) 489,000 rubles. – Huh!)
13. I am going to buy the 2890 ruble phone and believe you me, I can break a 2890 ruble phone just as easy as I can break a 79,000 ruble phone, much less a 489,000 ruble phone… 🙂

Welcome to Amurica…

“Drop that plate right now,” was the Fort Lauderdale Police officer’s directive to Abbott, as he was doling out food to the fourth person in a line of well over 100 homeless and hungry people queuing on the sidewalk on a cool, sunlit day. Abbott later half-joked that from the way the officer barked his order, he seemed to have mistaken the plate in his hand for a gun…

But hey, “It’s all good, right?”

Oh as I said about sanctions against North Korea, Iran and many other countries. The sanctions that we have against Russia by the west, are an act of war and Russians know this. Chalk up one more country to hate the US, (it use to amaze me with their (Russians) desire to love America;) Russia has now decided that America just plain sucks and the last poll done (with a plus or minus error of 2%,) says that Russians see Obama as a floating turd and the people in America forgot how to flush the toilet… (actually 79% of the Russians polled are grouchy about Amurica/Obama and their escapades and I made up the floating turd part myself…)

* * * * * * * * * *

Guess I am done for today; For as I tell Sveta all the time… (Eyes roll!)

Boza and I got things to do, places to go, people to see, cats to chase, and dogs to kick… Heehaw…

Good interview and it is definitely the prevailing view in Russia, amongst the government and her people. Russia is speaking the truth about the western world and while she wants to do business still with the west, she knows that the west can not be trusted…

I agree a 100% with him and his assessments of the situation of the world over the last few years and America/West involvement in its turmoil…

Sit with a cup of coffee or tea and have a read…

Yevgeny Primakov interview with TASS:

– The Ukrainian crisis has distracted attention from the Syrian conflict, but the hostilities are going on. Do you share optimism regarding Bashar Assad’s chances of staying in power?

– The growing activity of the terrorist organization calling itself the Islamic State, possibly, the most radical terrorist organization of all, is the main threat to everybody. Indiscriminate US support for the ISIL and forces opposed to Bashar Assad was the indisputable prerequisite for its successes. The results of that short-sighted policy are deplorable. It remains to be seen whether the US course aimed at overthrowing the existing regime in Syria will continue. But isn’t it clear that instead of Bashar Assad, whose policy has proved very constructive in many respects, including the elimination of chemical weapons, will be replaced by the ISIL?

– How do you see Russia’s stance on Libya? Do you believe that staying aloof from the events of 2010-2011 was a strategic mistake?

– We have never stayed aloof from the events in Libya. We invariably pressed for non-intervention in that country’s affairs. It is an entirely different matter that the US “partners” have in fact deceived us, when they persuaded us not to veto the UN Security Council resolution that established a no-fly zone over Libya to ward of the risk Libyan warplanes might bomb civilians. Pretty soon the underlying reasons that the United States and its European allies had had in mind rose to the surface. The bombardments that followed were targeted against the Muamar Gaddafi regime. The effects of that are clear to the naked eye. Libya has been plunged in chaos and its territory torn apart. It is good that we avoided succumbing to deceit again and vetoed all UN Security Council’s resolutions that had been proposed with the aim of overthrowing Syria’s constitutional regime.
