Here in the Tiny Russian Village; Svetochka, Boza and I wish you a Happy Christmas and a good New Years. Russians do not have their Christmas until New Years. That is when Ded Morose (Father Frost and or Santa Claus) delivers gifts to all the kids, young and old..

Boza, Svetochka and Kyle…
Windows to Russia
Well the experts on Svetochka’s forums said that this was a Jay Bird…
We have three of them, one female, one older male and what looks like their kid, another male!
Yes they all get along and I fed them all. The chickadees, sparrows and jays all live happily together and I growl at the jays when they get to be hogs. They are polite and know their limits. They allow the little ones to eat first and then come in for the scraps…
Yes and here are a couple of images of Sammy the Volga. Dirty, happy and tough! Volga’s rock…
Good world we live in, here in the Tiny Russian Village…

Enjoy the images, it is our (Svetochka, Boza and I) world we live in…
I want to thank people for the donations. We have been able to buy enough birdbrain seed for the whole winter now. This is very important and you help make it possible to keep a bunch of birdbrains healthy and happy in the deep of winter…
The circle of life is always apparent in the Tiny Russian Village…
Even if we do not like what we see, it is life. The other day one of the partridges was grabbed by a hawk and that hawk had a good meal. Carelessness will kill you! Svetochka witnessed it and she was not happy. I am use to it in the Tiny Russian Village…
Then a few days ago, a tiny hawk grabbed one of our sparrows. Right in front of me in our cherry trees. These predator birds are fast and deadly. Mini versions of Mommy Eagle. Glad she is not here now. Boza and I would be a meal with that beast…
I wanted to kick that hawks butt!
Eurasian Jays…
from what I understand the beautiful bigger birds I am feeding are Jay Birds. Like the Blue Jay in Missouri as I grew up, but slightly different I markings. I felt they were a Jay Bird…
Jays need to eat also!

I have not said much, but I am watching this event of the Russian Ambassador who was assassinated in Turkey…
Things do not add up and spouting about retaliation is not the answer. I am studying what happened and will find who benefits from this murder and now it seems another diplomat has been killed in Moscow
Russian diplomat is shot dead at his home in Moscow hours after the assassination of ambassador in Ankara. A high ranking Russian diplomat has been found dead from gun shot wounds in Moscow, it was reported early today. Petr Polshikov, 56, was found at his home in the capital city with a bullet wound to his head.
Russian diplomat Petr Polshikov shot dead in Moscow hours after …
Lack of security is my first most issue…
Have a nice day!

Barack Obama is a superhero. The outgoing President of the United States is a badass, epic, omnipotent harbinger for justice, truth, and the American way. In his own mind.
When RT America called me yesterday to give comment on President Obama’s final press conference, I was busy decorating our office Christmas tree. For once I was inclined to say no. Then I recalled the policies this president formulated, conjured, and evangelized to the people of my country and the world. The ornaments had to wait, I thought “If this man can deliver another pack of lies for some Americans, then I can speak my tiny bit for the others.” Today the New York Times and the other media owned by the western elites is trying to make an immortal out of a little obedient penguin of a leader.
The story of yesterday is a one I think millions of Americans can identify with. In fact, I think most of the people who supported Donald Trump over the criminal psychopath Hillary Clinton will be in a moment of Déjà Vu when they read it. All of us come up against the same wall eventually. I am talking about the place where a person who has seen and heard enough arrives as a wall of security, safety, and moderation. My wife is a PR expert you see, and when I told her about the upcoming interview she gave sound council. “Don’t insult President Obama. Tell the people he is not a believer in what he says. Tell them what you think without being angry or unhinged”, she said. “He deserves respect”, she went on. Like I said, sound public relations counselling before an interview. Only Barack Obama is not deserving, here’s why.
Yesterday the New York Times ran a story entitled “Obama Confronts Complexity of Using a Mighty Cyberarsenal Against Russia”. The story is written by one of journalism’s most respected authors, Pulitzer Prize winning David E. Sanger. Ordinarily this author’s awards, accolades, and accomplishments would serve to lend great credibility to our subject’s plight. There’s only one problem, Sanger bats for the same team as Obama. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Aspen Strategy Group, right alongside some of the evilest warmongers and destroyers in the history of humanity. The reason I focus on the author is because Barack Obama is not “confronting” or “perplexed” by America’s cyber capabilities, he and the author are two of the developers and operators of it. The New York Times story is a lie, as is most of what you read or view about Barack Obama. Sanger is a good example to show how the men and women behind Washington control “the mission”. To understand this one only needs to glean the “missions” of these various think tanks and groups. Take the Aspen Institute for instance.
Aspen Strategy Group is a membership-based forum made up of current and former policymakers, academics, journalists, and business leaders bent on exploring the preeminent foreign policy and national security challenges facing the United States. People like former Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright are a haunting and fearsome talisman for ASG. Albright is a Russia hater only surpassed in her hatefulness by President Carter’s NSA man, the now notorious Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski. Make no mistake, Cold War dinosaurs with giant talons still orchestrate in Washington. But this is another story, let’s stay focused on Mr. Obama via the cloak western journalism adorns him with. Back to Sanger’s piece, the lead paragraph is brilliant. Brilliant if you are on the new-fascist ultra-liberal team, that is:
“Over the past four months, American intelligence agencies and aides to President Obama assembled a menu of options to respond to Russia’s hacking during the election, ranging from the obvious — exposing President Vladimir V. Putin’s financial ties to oligarchs — to the innovative, including manipulating the computer code that Russia uses in designing its cyberweapons.”
“A menu of options”, this instills the reader with a sense of the “shock and awe” of what these people created. That NSA-Google-Facebook network that spies on us all, its awesome, yes awesome. Now that you agree, the skillful Sanger makes concrete the “Putin did it” propaganda. Evil oligarchs are thrown in for good measure, and more badass capability is there too, as if Sanger is proud of what his colleagues have created. And well he should be, for they almost put a raging maniac in office to deliver America the final coup de grace. Beneath all this subterfuge is a diabolical truth though. This New York Times story, I believe, is not an editorial aimed at theorizing Obama’s coming strategy against alleged cyberwarfare, it’s a recommendation being tested on the public. I began my story by telling you Barack Obama is not worthy of respect. Now I can show you why.
One of the biggest weaknesses a person who seeks omnipotent power can have is vanity. Pride betrays the inner cause, the essence of reasoning in human beings always ties to the self. Barack Obama, his journalistic colleagues like Sanger, even the decaying urchins behind like George Soros give themselves away in arrogance and underlying agendas. Take a look again at the NYTs article, there within the proud typing a name appears, the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Like me, you probably never heard of this think tank at Harvard, what with so many think tanks doing our thinking for us. America’s oversite on these institutions and the people within them is our harbinger though. We are expected to believe that Barack Obama is at once perplexed by all this ultimate power, and at the same time the angel of vengeance of America? The New York Times journalist cannot resist cluing us via a recollection form a meetup his beloved Belfer Center sponsored. Citing David H. Petraeus, this quote reflects the out-and-out arrogance and idiocy of these people. This is what Obama means when he spews about “who we are” and “how we roll”:
“Is there something we can do to them, that they would see, they would realize 98 percent that we did it, but that wouldn’t be so obvious that they would then have to respond for their own honor? “The question is how subtle do you want it, how damaging do you want it, how do you try to end it here rather than just ratchet it up?”
Some of you will be all caught up on where I am now. “Who the hell do these people think they are?” This is my take on Obama and his ilk. This is not how America rolls, this is not who I am by God. These people do not speak for me or for hundreds of millions of decent folk. Let me move on before I break my keyboard.
In eight years President Barack Obama has accomplished no singular good for the people who gave him his caveat to power. His entire presidency has been a giant, ongoing, Machiavellian lie. Our own sanity was tested when he received the Novel Peace Prize. Then when he dumped on the Copenhagen Climate Summit, our silence further empowered. BP almost killed the Gulf of Mexico, and his Coast Guard command under Admiral Thad Allen lied and covered up the extent. Having sworn to close the black stain on America in Guantanamo, he lied there too. Even the Fukushima disaster bears evidence of Obama administration cover-ups and impropriety. The list of Obama disasters is too lengthy to begin to list here. Arab Spring, Libya, Syria, the Saudi massacres and ISIL support, a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan, back stabbing the Russian, NATO forward, spying on allies, Obamacare, insult, injury, and America fracked, fragmented, and on the edge of being a Godless oligarchy.
From Solyndra and “Fast and Furious” to direct aggression against Russia and his so-called “arm twisting”, what the world has witnessed the last eight years is not the work of someone to be respected. Barack Obama is one of those rare people one meets who is deserving of a slap across his face. A fist is always reserved for someone respected enough to give due. Obama is beneath America, beneath us all if the truth be told.
The people who put Obama in office, the “team” he bats for, the unwitting Americans who supported or stuck their heads in the sand, they spit in the face of “who we are”. The man threatened to attack Syria even without Congressional approval if you will remember. Please recall how many times Barack Obama made use of the brave, the downtrodden, the young, the old, and how he became whatever chameleon identity the people wanted to see. Obama is a method actor, and not even a very nice human being in my book. He can disrespect his US Marine Guard, and we must accept it. He can launch a drone strike on some poor bastard in a desert somewhere, then laugh about it. He can tell the Russian president he’d “deal” once he gets elected, then backpedal and push to stick ABM weapons in Eastern Europe, take over Ukraine for NATO, help create terror, do whatever his handlers want!
Now that the silent Americans who usually stay home voted Donald Trump president, the powers behind Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have gone stark raving mad. Obama meets with the German toy Angela Merkel, and the both “warn” Trump on how Europe works? Vladimir Putin is the cause of all this bad, all the ill that threatens the world, everything is somebody else’s fault!
Barack Obama is a sad excuse. The saddest thing is not his warmongering. His worst crime is not padding the pockets of Silicon Valley billionaires, nor is his peddling of madman George Soros’ poison. Dismantling America’s Constitution, creating a morally deprived playground out of his country, clowning when others suffer, even getting valiant American soldiers killed is not cause to disrespect a US president. No, the reason my sweet and smart wife is wrong about respecting the president is not because of mistakes. Barack Obama is an unrepentant failure in leading his people. This is why he should be shunned, why he should leave the White House with his tail tucked between his legs. Instead the New York Times, CNN, the major networks, the sellout news, the Jeff Bezos types who bought up media, and the crazy liberals must prop him up. The empowered must have their champion intact.
No. Barack Obama betrayed America in no uncertain terms. He could have stood up, he decided to go along. He could have paved the steady way, but he caved in to the empowered self indulgers. He could have made peace and prosperity for all, instead he shunned billions of people in favor of a few. Barack Obama could have made us all proud to be Americans, instead he showed the world our vilest characteristics, our worst sportsmanship and fair play, and how “we” are worth more than “them”. A good man does not respect such things, he despises them. I lost respect for Barack Obama not for his mistakes, but for the vast possibility he left in the dirt.

Cyberattacks and atrocities in Aleppo, Syria…
The Western Empire is in chaos and they have been handed a glaring defeat in the Syrian geopolitical games. The accusations are flying off the shelf, as if the shelf has broken from the wall and anything goes; as being demonstrated by words of ignorance from as high up as Obama to the gutters on the streets of the Western Empire. There seems to be no buffer between the two levels. It is an all out slander and threatening attack. The type that starts wars and destroys countries…
Therefore evidence is either hearsay and or lies and or dreams of dementia and they come from Obama and or his cronies (all puppets in the game) on “alleged” Russian cyberattacks to undermine the US presidential election and or from the EU on propagating Russian (and Syrian) atrocities in Aleppo. It is exceedingly transparent that there is, “no proof and or a shred of evidence.” Yet assertions are being tossed out with not a breath of air between theses expressions. In other words, the lies are flying like bats from a cave. Washington is openly threatening to reciprocate for things they make up, and EU leaders are slapping more damaging sanctions on Russia for the simple reason that Russia helped Syria to defeat the terrorists….which proves that the EU is and was behind the Syrian fiasco of death and destruction…
This is an deranged and demented policy of warlike actions and or aggression. Against Russia and Syria. Nothing new there, but the ferocity of the war drums is frantic and pathetic…
It is especially pathetic keeping in mind that present and former members of US intelligence agencies do not support the Administration of the US’s assertions in conjunction with Russian cyberattacks…
No evidence! and people are tired of the crap Washington Times and Washington Post…
Even gave you western news links to satisfy the soul of fake news… 😉
The Empire has become that dangerous black eyed Bully!
It is well known that bullies will back away and hide at first, but then they will decidedly underhandedly try to sneak attack you from behind. For bullies have yellow streaks a mile long down their backs, but they are always justified in trying to smack you with a baseball bat when you are not looking. It is a cheap and pussy way to deal with life, but all to common in the world I grew up in. I was raised to watch your back, for people will stab you in the back, when you are not watching…
Why? (That terrible question I always ask others!)
Why do we allow the warmongers to keep their positions, that allow them to manipulate our counties policies against us and the world? Why do we allow flagrant accusations be used without evidenced? Why do we tolerate our own destruction? Why do we allow the media to be so controlled? Why are we so complacent?
That my friend are good questions and you should be asking them everyday. To yourself and of others…

This morning at 3 a.m. Boza and I walked! It was -27 Celsius and I witnessed first hand a fence post exploding!
I heard a popping noise and as I shined the flashlight around, I was lucky enough to get the beam on a fence post near the church and saw it crack and exploded apart. It was cold…
Then that action started a land mine effect and several other fence posts on the same length of fence, split and cracked. The cold had gotten too much for the old fence and it became very brittle…
Sounded like gun fire going off and it really was a sight to see…
Mother Nature is something else and Father Frost was playing this morning…
Cold baby! I mean cold!

Did Boris and Natasha do it?
Me Personally, did it!
I find all this Russia Hacked crap to be childish! Even for the Biggest Bully Child the USA! America needs to grab a cup of coffee and chill out, before we get a blackened eye…
We are suppose to believe that Russia has gone all out to get Trump elected? Spent untold millions and millions of dollars and still more millions to hack, dissuade, alter and or propaganda the election in America. We are to believe that Russia and now Putin personally had made it their goal to destroy Hillary Clinton, Destroy America, Destroy the Western Empire and basically destroy democracy…
The war drums are being beaten twenty four hours a day, all over no evidence of anything actually having been done to alter the elections for president in the 2016race, between Hillary and Trump. It is always hersay and hesay and theysay and wesay and themsay and thosesay….also it is always evidence points and we understand that they did it…
Seriously people!
The Britain’s have spent years telling us that Putin personally had Alexander Litvinenko, who was a former officer of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and the man who was a double spy, assassinated in Britain…
Once again; It is always hersay and hesay and theysay and wesay and them say and thosesay….also it is always evidence points and we understand that they did it…
So I am to believe that a country and its president, that can kill a double spy deep into the UK, would just play a expensive game of hacking to destroy the chances that Hillary Clinton had for president…
Na! Russians are to laid back and too busy enjoying life for that! It is always zavtra (tomorrow) in Russia! But! Russians are efficient and would take the direct path to eliminating what they do not like, but only after watching and waiting for a unbelievably patient amount of time…
So – Why hack? Just Assassinate…
Why assassinate?
Voting machines are not connected to the Internet…
and or
The votes were on paper ballots, and they seem to be, not connected to the internet?
and or
Efficiency is utmost… 😉
So hacking something that could only be hacked from the inside is not very smart, easy and or efficient….
(Unless; the Russians infiltrated bodily every voting station in America and altered the results? Damn they are that good! How many polling stations are there? That is a bunch of infiltrating Russians!)
Russians are smart!
Are you?

I have said before that Svetochka gets the best images…
They scared up an owl sleeping in the pines, while they walked on a snowmobile trail and he instead of leaving, just stopped on top of a pine tree. Then he watched the two of them and or maybe tried to see them. For owls are night birds…
This is a treat and is a treasure of images. She got a dozen pictures of the huge bird…
Looks like a Hoot Owl…
Thanks Svetochka and Boza for finding treasures to take images of…
