Slept like the dead! Who got up then went dead again…


Sometimes, I push myself too hard and too long. It has been this way all my life. It is who I am…

I went to the Big Village – I was on a quest that failed. I needed to get a part for the well at our Tiny Russian Village and after every store that might have it; I was told time and time again, “No! Only Ryazan!”

Ryazan is half way back to Moscow and in my world that is a long ways, when on foot, bus or train. My energy levels were depleted and I felt myself grinding to a halt…

So I sat at the bus stop for an hour…

The image to the right is a fire drill of one of the local governmental buildings. Bad camera, but it was interesting to watch this little community go all out and practice for a fire. The people working there all filed outside as per instructions. One lady in charge of all of the people had a bullhorn and was barking orders at everyone else. (She enjoyed her job!) The ambulance arrived first, but I saw he cheated, he was sitting down the road waiting for the call. The Fire Truck had to come from the center of town, the main Fire Department is located there…

A bunch of newbie police guys were part of the evacuation and had to do what the boss lady told them to do, so they stood around with the governmental workers from the building. Then the lady in charge, (little did he know at the time) grabbed one of the cops and literally pushed him into the snow. She started to bullhorn about an injured man and out came the paramedics to save his life. The Firemen where unrolling hoses and the paramedics were carrying on a stretcher the dying, by being beat up by Boss Lady, guy!

I had a front row seat to it all and it was fun to watch…. Oh, and the cop lived, the Boss lady was very happy, the paramedics did their job and the Fire Department had to clean the whole mess up. Then everyone went back to work and once again, crises was averted… 😉

* * * * *

I sat there and was a bit grumpy, my brain was on an old saying, “Podunk-town!”

Actually I live in a Podunk-town and Big Village is a massive metropolis in comparison. I also know that we have an ancient archaic system out at our well in the Tiny Russian Village, but still, it is my home and the Big Village failed me. Podunk-Town it is then. 😉

Thus, I came home empty handed!

But Vova is going to try to get a friend of a friend of a friend, who knows someone in Ryazan and when they come to the Big Village hopefully bring the part with them. Lets hope that they can. We need water, melting snow is not as fun as filling a bucket from the well. See there; I am, being a big baby bear! 🙂

I like modern conveniences also…

* * * * *

But that all aside…

I finally hit the wall! I remember taking my nightly pills, I remember Boza needing to do doggy business at 2 a.m., I remember at one point Svetochka called ?, I remember eating something, I remember posting an article by John Stanton (Not sure how I did that, better check it!) and in between, I slept and slept, then about 9 a.m. this morning, I came to life. I slept the longest that I have slept in a very long time…

Living in a Tiny Russian Village and or any place like it in the whole world is sometimes hard work. Life is unforgiving and you have to weigh and measure all you do. It is called survival, but I could afford to let down my guard somewhat. The winter is leaving, it is warming up, the snow is melting and no longer does a fire have to be tended to 24 hours a day and it is kinda nice…

So I slept a good sleep, here in the Tiny Russian Village…

The Digital Storm: Blowing Away the Human Mind


By John Stanton

“Temporal compression, as it is technically called, is an event that concretely modifies everyone’s daily life at the same time. In the face of this acceleration of daily life, fear has become an environment even in a time of peace. We are living in the accident of the globe, the accident of instantaneous simultaneity and interactivity that have now gained the upper hand over ordinary activities…With the phenomena of instantaneous interaction that are now our lot, there has been a veritable reversal, destabilizing the relationship of human interactions and the time reserved for reflection in favor of the conditioned responses produced by emotion… Promoting progress means that we are always behind: on the high-speed Internet, on our Facebook profile, on our email inbox. There are always updates to be made: we are the objects of daily masochism and under constant tension.” The Administration of Fear, Paul Virillio

The electromagnetic/digital storm emanating from television, computer and cell phone screens flood the neural pathways of the brain drowning synapses. The ferocious digital winds from the storm twist and rattle axons, neurons and dendrites like the winds from a powerful thunderstorm that shears leaves off of trees and bends branches to and fro. The lightning strikes from this digital storm randomly sever connections in the cerebral cortex, just as a lightning strike violently amputates the limbs from a tree. And, at times, the electromagnetic field and its constituents, now having translated itself into images, sounds and text, crash into the cerebral cortex send shock waves through the entire structure of the brain down to the base of the spinal cord. The cerebral cortex has been trashed.

The New Cocaine?

The digital storm, though ultimately damaging, is stimulating. It rushes to find the nucleus accumbens and floods it with dopamine which the hippocampus, in turn, ‘memorizes’ as rapid stimulus for satisfaction or pleasure. The amygdala then ‘records’ the event making sure that the human response is ‘conditioned’ to find pleasure and, indeed, seek it out desperately. The brain reboots itself and in so doing its human face. Addiction ensues and brains/humans change.

The digital storm forms a ‘new brain’ and, hence, human character. Transmogrification becomes complete. Perhaps it’s all evolution’s plan. But interesting symptoms appear indicating this could be devolution.

The addiction to the digital storm is so overwhelming that the brain creates a punishing craving mechanism: connection insecurity. Its emotion is fear, the fear of not being connected, or being seen, or taking part in the social scene. It’s the fear of missing out on the daily on-line world and being MIA to comment on the latest incidental text, image or sound. To eliminate connection insecurity the brain creates an addiction that resembles the cocaine addict’s frenzied search for more having snorted up the buy and the stash.

Don’t See Me, Touch Me, Read Me

You can see it in the mothers and fathers that push their infant children down the sidewalk talking into the cell-phone rather than talking to the child. What does that child store in the brain? Gossip? Recipes? Sports trivia?

Or at the family dinner table where adults and children feel compelled to check email or take calls not wishing to be offline for 60 minutes at Sunday dinner. Worse still, the dinner hosts have to remind the cell-phone users to ‘please silence your cell-phones’ as if in the movie theater.

And walking down the street, the ability to say ‘good morning or good evening’ has been eroded as everyone seems to be working a conversation via the cell-phone or looking down at email. It’s a world of people walking with their heads-down on the street. It’s heads-down in elevators, offices and even in church pews on Sunday.

The brain’s pause and contemplative thought functions have been degraded and exist like abandoned and rusty rail road tracks. The brain has replaced these two elements with a reflexive response mechanism from the unconscious and unfiltered mind.

Such is the mind of the President of the United States, Donald Trump and his penchant for Twitter, television and newspapers. His thinking, like the bulk of the American citizenry, is limited to 150 characters a thought. Producing 150 characters is an exhaustive effort for most these days. No doubt, a student has been assigned to describe the novel War and Peace in 150 characters. Tell us what is unique about your life in 150 characters, they’ll ask.

And don’t dare write an article of more than 500-750 words on a subject, because ‘readers’ will not stick with it, they say. ‘Give me all bullet points, our President says.

When in falling asleep, or in your dreams, you ‘see’ text scrolling vertically / horizontally (and you can read some of it) or you observe images of computer screens with data displayed (which you can interpret) your brain and you have been altered. And when you notice that these images start to appear in your recurring dreams and it seems to be altering your deepest consciousness, it’s probably time to seek shelter from the digital storm. Think about it, if you can.

“’She watches with the raptor’s eye, trained on distance as she is, and dark—so when she turns to what is close, so intimate and huge, she keeps the gift of sight beyond herself, neither sentimental or detached….’Who, indeed, watches the passing show with the raptor’s eye? Couple the quick tweet and modalities of social networking with the videoing and blogging obsession, immersion in video games, overtime on the Internet and the constant interruption of face to face interaction by the cell phone, and you have a recipe for attention deficit in the life world. What are educational institutions to do in the culture of online engrossment and the fast electronic update? The humanities might rearticulate its worth in a climate of unexamined absorption.” A Field Guide to a New Meta-Field, Barbara Stafford

Donation will buy new part for Tiny Russian Village Well…


Today it looks as if I will try to get to the Big Village again, But…. it is snowing and snowing and snowing. The money has come in the form of a donation and since it was not specified for what or who, the Tiny Russian Village will get a new part for her well. We have been without water for over a week now. Since the roads are snowed in again, I have decided to try to get out again. It will be rough. I find it is easier to get around when fresh snow and frozen solid is the case…. And that is the case right now…

I want to thank people for donations, it is keeping the village going also…

Boza and I took a walk at 2:30 a.m., it was horrific outside. Boza was fast at doggy business and decided that inside was a better place than outside. Smart doggy! I then put Boza inside and he went to his bed and went to sleep. I had to dig out the outhouse. For bear has bear business to do also. The snow had infiltrated every square inch of the outhouse. Through the cracks, seams and whatever else it could find to sift through. It was over two feet deep inside and deeper outside. I started to laugh, as I looked around at the world I live in. I mean, what else can you do…

It is a world of one step at a time…

Bear got his business done, made a cup of coffee and is sitting here wondering about what to write. I have tons of things to write about, but I just have to decide, do I have time to devote to all of them and then decide why it is important enough to me to write about…

Google has been holding us in higher standards for a few months now. This is the longest that they have kept decent search results for Windows to Russia. I won’t hold my breath, but I am happy to see this happening. Crawling back from destruction of your site by the USA and cronies, is a long and hard process. Takes patience and devotion to the processes. Google is a very controlled entity by the US administration, just as Facebook is and or many many other companies residing within the borders of the US…

I said once and more than once, I will not stop writing about Russia. Russia is simply not what they in power within the Western Empire say it is. I live in a very moral, very simple, very uncontrolled and very safe country. We may not be rich by western standards, but we (Russians) do not owe hardly any money to anyone. When you own your home outright and you have very cheap utilities and food is priced reasonable, you are wealthy and that is that…

Last time at the store (Saturday,) bread was 12 rubles a loaf (about 20 cents), tvorg or cottage cheese 150 rubles a kilo, milk was 31 rubles a liter, pork chops 124 rubles a kilo, chicken 76 rubles a whole bird and so on and so on. I did not buy the chicken, but I bought the pork chops, five fresh cut with bone in them. Boza and I enjoyed three of them and we have two more that I will cook tonight. I just ate a big bowl of tvorg with some milk, salt and pepper. It is what starts my day off perfect…

In the Big Village, I know all the side roads and the vendors that operate on these sides roads. Be it veggies, meat or parts for your car? I know where to get the stuff…. It is what life is about…

* * * * *

Well I see Boza has stolen my side of the bed as I write. I thought he was asleep on his bed, but he has sneaked as I wrote and is curled up near my pillow. He is amazing and gets around very good for a blind doggy. I know I could never do that well. Yesterday we walked for two hours and since we had a new snow and the ground was frozen hard, I could allow him to run about anywhere he wanted to. It is times like this, when the ground is a meter deep in snow, all grasses under the surface, frozen hard, that he can just run and run and run. I just watch for him as he gets too near the big trees sticking out from the snow. But he listens to me and we do good. Boza was free to run yesterday and he had fun…

I pushed myself yesterday… TRV


The issue with getting old is that we do not want to admit that we are getting old…

My body is telling me that I am getting older everyday, but still we must push ourselves once in awhile. For you never do anything but rot, if you stagnate and hide from life and her attempts at silencing you…

Yesterday, I was checking out at the groceries and the young lady cashiering, asked without looking up, “Are you a pensioner?”

I was packing the bag with bought items and she looked at me…

Then without even having to answer her, she said “Oh… Yes!”

Then pushed the discount button for pensioners…

Don’t get me wrong, it is nice to get around 10% discount, but as I am walking the long road home. I was thinking about how, I know longer even need to answer such questions. One look and the answer is apparent. That is the part that makes you think…

* * * * *

I walked in a snowstorm of magnificent proportions yesterday.

The wind was reaching 40 kph and visibility was at best 5 to 10 feet. I knew my way and knew my foot was secure, but it was slow and rough. I also can do lots of thinking, as I walk. When you are surrounded by a blanket of deep snow, thinking is easy and comforting…

I thought about all the triumphs that I accomplished when young and how I thought that these goals and barriers overcome where important. I walked and thought, as the snow piled up and it looked as if I might be in trouble. For I found myself pushing through drifts of two to three feet deep and once again, they were endless in number…

So, as I always do, I took one step at a time. That is life, but still I was askance feeling about being readily accepted as a pensioner, and yes I am a pensioner in Russia. Still a full year or so to go in America, but in Russia yes…

I made it to our dam of the lake and stood trying to see the Tiny Russia Village. Impossible was the term used for such a act in such a storm. I needed that sight of the Tiny Russian Village to up the spirits and make the last third of the trip easier. So, I just stood there and allowed the wind and snow to blow around me and took a drink of water. I adjusted the backpack and grabbed the two huge water bottles I had bought (Sveta is coming, no water at village and I want her to have good water!) and was ready to fight my way to home…

Then as I stood there and could see nothing but a wall of white, the wind stopped. I mean it simply stopped blowing…

I sat the water bottles down and looked around in amazement. Then it got lighter and lighter. Then as if God wanted me to see the Tiny Russian Village, the clouds broke, just like that. Broke open and the sun came out. This all happened within a few minutes of time, as I stood on the dam of the lake…

I was wet, my gloves were soaked, my coat was soaked, my pants were soaked and water ran off my nose in a rivulet.Then I felt it…

The sun and her warmth, the dark clothing I had on absorbed the sun rays instantly and within a few minutes, I warmed up. I stood there facing the sun and never in my life was there a more wonderful moment than that. The bank of dark clouds moved away and I looked around in the beauty of the sunlight…

The snow was boot deep, about two feet at this spot and powdery fine. It was about -2 degrees and the world had become crystal clear and pure clean white. I decided to stand there a few more minutes and take in all around me. The world was silent and beautiful. I looked at the Tiny Russian Village and smiled…. For that is a place dear to my heart…

* * * * *

Then I realized the real meaning of life…

I finally found the answer to the question I always ask myself. Life is not money, not youth, not elder, not gold, not war, not hate, not love, not sports, not cell phones, not vacations and not a million other things, things that we gather and scrounge all our lives for. Life is not readily found and definitely not there for the taking and life is not a puzzle that must be put together…

Life is simply nature and once we embrace that aspect of life, we see that nature supplies what is needed…

Sometimes we have to overcome what nature throws at us. Sometimes nature sends us to our graves early, but life is purely all in our heads and what we do with what we are given so freely by nature. God may have molded some aspects of our life on this planet, but life is solely up to Mother Nature. We are animals, animals with additions to our genetics that allow us to be preceptive about things beyond most animals, but we are animals and we should never forget that…

I realized that there is a power stronger and or equal to God on our planet. The same with all planets like ours. God is limited to what is here available and he does miracles with what is here. But everything is up to the Earth and until we learn to accept that and embrace that. We will never find God and or never find life…. God is Nature and Nature is God…. Neither is fulfilled without the other…

Life is Earth and God only accepted what Earth had and tilled the soil correctly to get what we have on this planet. As in a snowflake and or a fingerprint, no two planets are alike and thus, no two planets can have the same type of entities on it…

* * * * *

I realized how finely balanced our world is…

I walked home and thought about how just the tilt of the planet as it revolves around the sun we call Sol, effects our earth. I realized that the balance of our orbit is so precise that if we were just a fraction closer to the sun, or a fraction farther from the sun, we would not be here. Say what you want, but when the earth tilt changes and winter sets in, imagine if we moved a million miles farther way from the sun, imagine how much colder our earth would be…. I just walked within nature and have personally witnessed the fury and the calm. All within a few minutes, all nature and all beautiful…

We live in a very narrow band of existence. Our lives are within that band of livability. When you look at that balance, you realize that you are seeing perfect at work. Perfection beyond our comprehension…

Take it how you want to take it. Be superior and feel like the king of the world. Think that all others on this planet are below you, but the fact is, we are selfish, the most selfish creatures on Earth…

Life is Earth and God; For without one there would not be the other…

Read an Old Book…


I have said before on this blog about reading books. I have said to read and read and read. Several years ago I discovered reading again and have found it the most perfect way to see the world through many eyes. I have also discovered as to how much long term propaganda has been around. It is amazing and for someone like me who is able to see the trees for the forest, I can enjoy all media and not allow myself to fall into the reality or lack of reality trap…

Gutenberg books is a place that allows for free to download old out of copyright books. Many of these are classics and many are written late 1800’s to the early 1900’s…

http://www.gutenberg.org/

This site is truly a godsend for seeing the way the eyes, mind and souls looked at the future. I am a science fiction fan and have literally been amazed at how much truth and how much they did not and or could not fathom, in changes our world would see. It really is fantastic and the ideas presented in these books about our future are for the most part, lacking, technology advances, accurate in all aspects…

But an area that has not changed and looks like it will not change, is the villain and from whence he came…

99% of the time that villain’s Slavic (chiefly Russians, Ukrainians, and Belorussians) and they are the most evil, dastardly and well funded demons the earth can imagine, Especially within that time frame….. And even within our modern time frame, these Slavs are beyond imagination and abilities. But then as now, Americans, with an occasional friendly help from Great Britain overcome any and all obstacles. Be it a magnetic ray that sends the earth plummeting into the sun and or a spaceship so advanced that we have nothing like it. But! We soon have, because we are America…. And because we are Gods chosen people, we overcome the evil that lurks within all hearts of every Slav alive…

One area of great concern was the Bolshevik era in Russia. This was an exceedingly predominant area of concern for writers. The poor Slavs under the thumb of the most sickening and evil Bolsheviks, was a serious concern and America has to save these peasants from certain death and degradation…

Occasionally a German popped up and he was as nasty as they come, but almost always even the German was funded by a Russian…. Damn them Russians…. An important thing that came across was that the evil Russian, was never killed. It was believed he was dead, but he always came back in the next book. This evil Russian driven by his hate for democracy, capitalism and just everything in general about the perfect country called America. Was never satisfied to kill millions and millions of people in America, he wanted to genocide Americans and rule the world. The only thing that stood in his way, was America and once America was gone, he could rule the world with ease…

The really interesting thing about the books; The plot was about a country called Russia and we Americans were the moral side of the world. The story writers would be aghast at what has happened to the world. These people wrote about a country that always stood for good and helped all who needed it, even when the others could not agree to help to even save the world. America would time and time save the world, even when the world was at odds with each other…

During that hundred years since these books were written, things have reversed and now America has become the exact thing that we wrote so vehemently about…. Russia…

Thousands and thousands and thousands of books with this theme as an underline to its plot…

This extended heavily with in such famous publications as Astounding Science Fiction books to a typical full length novel and at that time just 10 to 20 cents bought tons of reading for the pleasure of being propagandized constantly. This is even prevalent with in the teenage series of books such as Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, from the start of the 1930’s…

Every book literally sends a message. The evil was Russia and the American people stood together and shook their fists at the evil, even when millions were dying and I just read one book; An America child raised his fist in his last death gasp, he looked at the deadly Russian flying machine and defiantly shook his fist at the machine. Then in the ways of evil Russians and only by God does an evil Russian know why! The Russian pilot staffed the young American child defying him to his last breath, with rounds of some wicked weapon of destruction. The child would be shredded and still have his fist raised in defiance…

Tough kid…

This is a common theme amongst the books…. as people stood their ground and died with dignity…

Hard to imagine the America now being that defiant against anything but having their iPhone taken away…

The message I am telling is this…

We have been invaded by our own selves for the life of our young country. I can read for myself the propaganda in all its glory from the yesterdays of our writers. These men and woman wrote what was expected and asked of them. Most of these works are series of books, all cheap and all propaganda. Even some of these writings have carried on into the modern times, such as Hardy Boys, for example… Nothing has changed, except…

We have moved basically from a media that you have to have abilities to read, to a media that allows eye candy to infiltrate the soul…. A media that takes no imagination and no abilities needed to watch and enjoy and indoctrinate…. God Bless Hollywood… 🙁

In over a hundred years of media…

It is all at your fingertips. Media in book, magazine and now movie form and there for you to read, absorb and watch. One hundred years plus of constant, “Russia did it!”

Does that sound familiar? We live a life of nothing but, Russia Did It!” and sometimes North Korea, China, Germany and of course we had a few years of Middle east demons wanting to take our country away…

Being on the outside…

I am glad I am on the outside of America. Looking in at America is scary and sad at the same time. But I am glad that I escaped from such a mess. Yesterday was Defenders of the Fathers Day. It was a holiday for military guys. Since I am military, I was invited to Vova’s and he had a party going. It is a big holiday in Russia and they are all off today also…

I had an interesting question asked of me…

Why do Americans hate Russians so much?

This morning I realized why we hate Russians!

Our (Western) media is awash with a constant stream of, “Hate Russia, Hate Russia!”

Sorry, you have been mislead about Russia… And yes propaganda is just not an American issue. But America is #1 in propaganda…

Few days of warmth and then back cold again… TRV


Well it is simply a bad morning and rough day coming…

I woke with a rare fever here in TRV. It (thermometer) says 38.5 (101.3) and I feel like crap!

Blood sugar is all messed up, blood pressure is high and I feel rough. All is good, but I still have to walk Boza the doggy and at 3 a.m. we got down the hill, but coming back was rough. It is -3 out and it looks like my arthritis has gone over board, I also feel a tinge of kidney issues, vinegar water time…

Dear Readers,
Could you please walk me?
I sad!
Boza

Guess I won’t be griping about anything today…

Do not even feel good enough to grumble and be grumpy at the world…

Now that is not a good thing…

It will be warm for a few days and then it looks like March will be below freezing most of the month. Guess I have to wish harder for warmer weather, but today, I just wish to walk the dog once in awhile…

Poor Doggy!

Melting snow for water!

A few days ago the pump at the well went out again, just like it did last summer. The wells are dry and we in the Tiny Russian Village are melting snow down in buckets to have water to bath, clean and drink. This is fine as long as the snow is plentiful. Right now it is not an issue…

The local government at the middle size village, who is responsible for our village, is doing what it does best, ignoring the issue…. The village is called Sysoy, I have walked there at times to get food. The administration is marginal at best. Vova ended up jimmy rigging the well last summer and as we all know jimmy rigging is only a short term solution. The Sysoy admin never got us a new part, did not care and it is looking the same way this time also…

* * * * *

I am feeling better (after grumbling about something) and will get something to eat. It looks like a good day to simply relax…

Have a nice day…

Coffee thoughts and Starbucks…


I see that Starbucks has become a battleground of sorts.

Playing one type of personality against another, hoping to win the bag of gold in the end result…

McDonald’s tried that same thing and got their ass handed to them…

I was a brew master in that company (Starbucks,) my company, had us go and take classes to make that wonderful cup of very expensive coffee. Millions of dollars was spent to become brew masters, we had thousands of managers that went over a year period of time.I got a wonderful certificate about how I became a special type of person and could then sell and make Starbucks coffee…

It was then (Many years ago,) that I saw first hand the push for liberalism at its finest. The classes had nothing to do with making coffee as much as pushing an agenda, upon managers of other companies across America and Europe…

I saw McDonald’s doing this same thing and they almost lost their shirts in business, recently. Still debatable if they will survive as the king of fast food or not. Starbucks is saying that they are the best and that they have the only way, or the highway. Sounds familiar and that is, it seems the American mistake attitude…. It also is the sound of a company that is trying to convince you and themselves that all is good…

Grow comes in many forms within a company and expansion with debt accumulation, is one of those types of growths, to cover up the sins of poor product and management and policies…

A large regular coffee at Starbucks typically goes for $2.45 while a large McDonald’s coffee costs around $1.49 and can often be had for $1 due to promotions.

Now folks: The coffee at McDonald’s is literally the same coffee that Starbucks has.

Say what you want, but coffee comes from just a few spots on earth. Kinda like tires for your car. That cheap brand is most likely made by the same company that makes your expensive tires…. I went to South America as a buyer for coffee, years ago, I know where coffee comes from…

You get what you deserve if you sip a cup of Starbucks. I know the food service industry, I know where McDonald’s coffee comes from, I know where Starbucks coffee comes from and I know where and how to make good coffee. But I also know that the cup of coffee I make at home is vastly superior to anything Starbucks makes, or McDonald’s and or your favorite coffee shop…

It is not rocket science and it is not hard and it is definitely cheaper to make a great cup of coffee at home. Or work. Or what ever. Even a freeze-dried coffee is superior to Starbucks… (OMG! Did he just say freeze-dried coffeeeeeeeee? No way you damn commie!) 🙂

Get your priorities straight and wake up…

Russia has stepped up the defensive posture of the country…

And Russia cares to keep others from stealing her resources and keep the devil at bay…. (Especially a run amok piece of crap like America has become…. You can be an asshole, but be smart about being that Ass! That is the key to it all. We have become all into ourselves…)

Manufacturing of defensive weapons in Russia is running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year for about 10 years now. Anti-missile missiles have been being installed at a furious pace all over the country. Big country! But it is being done. Enough according to experts that they can stop a first wave attack in literally full. Second wave attack is what is being worked on now, as more and more defense levels are built up…

What this means is that if Russia is attacked, they will be able to retaliate and retaliate they will. The Western Empire is playing with fire and while Russians may all be exterminated, so will you. It is a sad thing we have come to…

I am being point blank here…

We, the Western Empire, are not all that and we are not special. We have to stop the crap. Leave Iran alone. Leave China alone. Leave Russia alone. Leave the world alone and stop the wannabe world rulers. The humans of the world suck! The ones who care about the world, sit back and play with themselves and we watch while the world wannabe dictators, play there war games. This has gone too far and too long and too much…

China, Iran and Russia are all waiting for the attack against one of them. They will stand together and they will bring it to the Western Empires doorstep…

Fact… Do you really think you are so special? That you will survive a nuclear war?

Do you really study your search results on Google?

I mean look at what you get for results! It is censored and manipulated and all you have to do is think as you search. Try it and really watch what you are doing. Search for something that you know is true, have seen, have studied and then watch the results. If those return results are possibly against certain entities and or products and or companies and or countries. The results will be biased. That bias goes what ever way the political flow is at that moment…

Just take an example: Obama information was censored in the expressions of hate against him. Trump and the expressions of hate against him are promoted… Fact Jack and we are to blame for allowing it to happen, unheeded…

* * * * *

I may take a excursion to the Big Village today. The weather is going to turn very bad and the bridge across the river is going to wash out very soon. Spring is here, but in Russia, Spring means lots and lots of snow. It will melt, then lots and lots of mud. So maybe I will take advantage of the warmer weather (-1) and trot to town today and buy some Bear treats. I need them after the crap I watch coming from the untilled Western Empire…

I guess I will stop. I feel better now! 🙂

Russia Human Rights!


LONDON, February 22. /TASS/. Non-governmental organization Amnesty International once again criticized the human rights situation in Russia. The published annual report with an analysis of the human rights situation in 159 countries, Amnesty International talked about the amendments to the anti-extremism legislation of the Russian Federation, which according to the organization contradicts the international law.

Want a Fact Jack?

As an American living deep in the heart of Russia and living day to day with Russians; Russians have a many times more Human Rights than you do in the west!

I can’t make it up, I live it and talk it and walk it everyday. The Russians are freer, they have more liberty and they have a whole bunch less governmental interference than you do in the western world…

It would take a hundred pages of paper to write down how good the Russians have it in comparison. I know, I live it…

The only repression, regression and suppression I see. Is the Western Empire trying to belittle, destroy, politicize and propagandize the truth about Russia…

Amnesty International :

Amnesty International’s Funding

Finding financial information on Amnesty International’s website is made purposefully difficult – specifically to protect the myth that the organization is “independent.” Like any organized criminal operation, Amnesty separates compromising financial ties through a series of legal maneuvers and shell organizations. Upon Amnesty’s website it states:

“The work carried out through Amnesty International’s International Secretariat is organised into two legal entities, in compliance with United Kingdom law.  These are Amnesty International Limited (“AIL”) and Amnesty International Charity Limited (“AICL”). Amnesty International Limited undertakes charitable activities on behalf of Amnesty International Charity Limited, a registered charity.”

And it is there, at Amnesty International Limited, where ties to both governments and corporate-financier interests are kept. On page 11 of Amnesty International Limited’s 2011 Report and Financial Statement (.pdf) it states (emphasis added):

“The Directors are pleased to acknowledge the support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Oak Foundation, Open Society Georgia Foundation, the Vanguard Charitable Endowment Programme, Mauro Tunes and American Jewish World Service. The UK Department for International Development (Governance and Transparency Fund) continued to fund a four year human rights education project in Africa. The European Commission (EuropeAid) generously awarded a multi-year grant towards Amnesty International’s human rights education work in Europe.”

Clearly then, Amnesty does take money from both governments and corporate-financier interests.

That is how free you are and or are not free you are!

Yet you lick up the propaganda like a puppy with a bowl of milk. And believe that everything in Russia is a Human Rights issue, all the while “you” have serious human rights staring you in the face…

I used to blame my problems on other people. But my moment of clarity, if you want to call it that, came when I was looking in the mirror one day and just burst into tears. It wasn’t just that I looked bad, it was that I knew my problem was me. – Tom Sizemore

Look in that mirror and see what is up! You do not have to like what you see, as long as you see the truth…

Walked to Mozhary yesterday… (Photo Day 02-20-2017)


Okay!

I walked and walked and walked! This morning, my feet hurt, but I had a blast and as always, the locals spread the word that I was there. They even called Vova and of course Vova needed something from the store also. So he called and needed cigarettes…. I cannot sneak around and do anything in this small town area. Everyone watches what everyone else is doing…. Did I say small town?

I will let the images talk for themselves…

This is Maslenitsa to a Russian…


When a Russian thinks of “Spring” right around the corner…

This is what a Russian thinks of and culture is based upon…

Winters are very hard and you will see that even a bear has hitched a ride to express the desire for a wonderful year and bountiful crops…

Have a nice day…
