Here is a couple that I found that recently were not renewed…

Burma (Myanmar) Sanctions – 10/07/2016​
​Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast)-Related Sanctions – 09/14/2016​

This is not a full list to be sure. Many countries are sanctioned under a cover title, such as “Cyber-related Sanctions” and or “Counter Terrorism Sanctions” a buy one get 10 free sanction listing… many sanctions are hidden from the world to see…

China is inside this mess of sanctions, as well as half the world and even some so called allies to America. The USA is a sanction fool…

Sanction definition that fits best:
A threatened penalty for disobeying a law or rule. “a range of sanctions aimed at deterring insider abuse”
synonyms: penalty, punishment, deterrent; punitive action, discipline, penalization, correction, retribution;
embargo, ban, prohibition, boycott, barrier, restriction, tariff
“codes of practice should be accompanied by sanctions for offenders”

My first question is: Who laws are disobeyed and who made them god?

A good point is that in a world as versatile and huge as ours, one size fits all does not cover the situation and one sets of rules, does not fit another countries needs…

For first off:

Sanctions are a crime against the people of a country and act of war against that country. What is done to even one person in that country is against all in that country…. Fact Jack!

Now we are going to openly attack China… (Again!)

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/16/trump-to-accuse-china-of-economic-aggression-financial-times.html

To understand what is happening?

It looks like from my point of view, we have officially put China and Russia as teamed aggressors against the USA…

I am using all western links in this article. Since that is all many of you seem to accept as facts. Take it with a grain of salt, but the fact that the western press is even acknowledging all this is a fact to worry…

While I think Trump sucks as bad as Obama and I think Hillary was the “son of the morning’s” right hand man/woman, the fact remains and is visible, if Obama and or Hillary was doing what Trump is doing, we would all be silent. They did what Trump is doing and the loose lips are flapping in the wind. Where was all this lip flapping, hate mongering and demon exorcism when Obama was messing things up left and right?

If nothing else, electing Trump has shown the true face of the USA and it is not a pretty face…

I keep looking around and wonder, have we as humans lost touch with reality?

Enough of all the above. It will not change until we collapse and who knows?

But my final thought:

It seems that in this world that we have good people, good laws, good everything’s scattered everywhere. But, more important than some scattered good here and there? Everything and everyone seems to have a price. And the bottom line is; 99% of us have a price and we will sell our souls…

Very few exceptions…

Russia to the rescue?

Britain and other parts of Europe are having cold wave issues. Their gas supply is getting low and the cost has skyrocketed to almost all time highs. No gas, no industry and no heat in the homes…

Of course assholes like the EU has/have/is been/are to Russia, should be ignored in times of trouble. They have done nothing but stir up trouble and point illegal, immoral and dirty fingers at Russia for years now. But Russia always keeps helping, even when Russia has many good reasons to not help…

Yamal LNG project in Russia’s Arctic: Putin just onlined this very important project and the British are waving their hand in the air looking to get the first shipment sent to them, not Asia. Yes this is the same people (EU type people) that do not want Russia to build another pipeline and want to buy their gas from anyone but Russia, even at double the cost…

Russia already has buyers for its LNG and would have to delay the delivers to Asia…

Britain in particular is hurting right now. Not enough storage facilities and low supplies from other sources are taking a hit upon the system. Thus, in steps Russia…

I suspect that the EU will try to put a wrench in the way and keep this from happening. For the EU is run by true puppets of the Western Empire…

When are people in the west going to wake up and realize that Russia is a friend, not the problem and enemy?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ……..

PS: Yamal LNG is one incredible operation and I would love to be able to see it, in real life…

The last line is the bottom line…

KJZZ did not report the gender status of the couple’s two dogs.

Maybe because they would want to be cats? Whatever…

This my friend is a major point of what is wrong in the world… Surely we can get out of this hell?

Document-06-Record-of-conversation-between

Above PDF is of Document 06. A record of conversation between Mikhail Gorbachev and James Baker in Moscow. (Just excerpts listed below…)

This Gorbachev Foundation record of the Soviet leader’s meeting with James Baker on February 9, 1990, has been public and available for researchers at the Foundation since as early as 1996, but it was not published in English until 2010 when the Masterpieces of History volume by the present authors came out from Central European University Press. The document focuses on German unification, but also includes candid discussion by Gorbachev of the economic and political problems in the Soviet Union, and Baker’s “free advice” (“sometimes the finance minister in me wakes up”) on prices, inflation, and even the policy of selling apartments to soak up the rubles cautious Soviet citizens have tucked under their mattresses.

Turning to German unification, Baker assures Gorbachev that “neither the president nor I intend to extract any unilateral advantages from the processes that are taking place,” and that the Americans understand the importance for the USSR and Europe of guarantees that “not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.” Baker argues in favor of the Two-Plus-Four talks using the same assurance: “We believe that consultations and discussions within the framework of the ‘two+four’ mechanism should guarantee that Germany’s unification will not lead to NATO’s military organization spreading to the east.” Gorbachev responds by quoting Polish President Wojciech Jaruzelski: “that the presence of American and Soviet troops in Europe is an element of stability.”

The key exchange takes place when Baker asks whether Gorbachev would prefer “a united Germany outside of NATO, absolutely independent and without American troops; or a united Germany keeping its connections with NATO, but with the guarantee that NATO’s jurisdiction or troops will not spread east of the present boundary.” Thus, in this conversation, the U.S. secretary of state three times offers assurances that if Germany were allowed to unify in NATO, preserving the U.S. presence in Europe, then NATO would not expand to the east. Interestingly, not once does he use the term GDR or East Germany or even mention the Soviet troops in East Germany. For a skilled negotiator and careful lawyer, it seems very unlikely Baker would not use specific terminology if in fact he was referring only to East Germany.

The Soviet leader responds that “[w]e will think everything over. We intend to discuss all these questions in depth at the leadership level. It goes without saying that a broadening of the NATO zone is not acceptable.” Baker affirms: “We agree with that.”

Gorbachev has always persisted in that he was given reassurance that America (USA) would not expand NATO…

Has the United States of America ever been truthful with any country? Why did we lie? Why did we not accept that our word is important? Why are we this way?

Many times and more than not, Pat Buchanan gets it right. This time he hits it out of the ballpark…

“We will never accept Russia’s occupation and attempted annexation of Crimea,” declaimed Rex Tillerson last week in Vienna. “Crimea-related sanctions will remain in place until Russia returns full control of the peninsula to Ukraine.” Tillerson’s principled rejection of the seizure of land by military force — “never accept” — came just one day after President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and pledged to move our embassy there. How did Israel gain title to East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Golan Heights? Invasion, occupation, colonization, annexation. Source: What Should We Fight For?

He is correct…

While it cannot be corrected back to what it was, Libya can at least be brought upright again, for it is listing severely and a good wave will send it under…

This has been a sore spot for many Russians. What happened to Libya was and is a crime of epic proportions and I myself hope that the ones behind this crime are brought to justice, along with the crimes in Iraq, Ukraine, Syria and dozen more countries. The crimes have been committed by many of the same people time and time again…

Libya may just be helped to right her listing self…

and many months ago…

I have talked about the Egypt connect before and it is looking a bunch like Russia is getting ready to do some sweeping up in Libya. Someone has to clean up the mess that the Western Empire has deliberately done and get the garbage out. If Russia gathers some oil and gas rights along the way? “Good job,” I say…

I am not under an impression that Russia is a perfect angel in all this, but I will say that Russia will follow international norms and do it by the book. Thus Egypt has worked out a deal for Russian use of an airbase and I know that at least one faction in Libya has been talking with Russia about help….badly needed help, for as in almost all cases of western chaoticness around the world, the floundering raped country needs help…

Libya is on life support and maybe Russia will help…

Russians will support such a move by Putin, this has been a sore spot and a major issue that Medvedev has such a low opinion rating in Russia. Medvedev was the Russian President that went along with the NATO bombing of Libya and the Russian people have never forgave him for leaving and allowing Libya and Qaddafi to be raped and murdered….a simple veto would have at least shown opposition to NATO involvement. Would not have changed things, just shown opposition. Russia and China both abstained from voting and the rest is history…

I could be wrong about this:

But I am seeing the signs and this has been going on awhile. It takes time to go through the proper channels. Egypt had to think about the airbase, Libya had to ask for help and Russia has and had to debate what to do in this case…

I hope so. I know many Russians who will be glad to try to correct the crime they allowed to happen. Unlike the Americans, what the president of Russia and his government does is a reflection upon them. No one seems to say, “But it is not my fault, I didn’t do it, they did!”

Russians took what happened in Libya personally, as it should have been. Medvedev was wrong and Russia should have vetoed the Libya issue…

North Korea is the start of countries standing their ground. Just like the little kid on the playground that has been bullied for years by the big kid. North Korea is on the highroad, while as most of the time America is taking the low road and playing in the gutter half the time…

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. is prepared to negotiate with North Korea without preconditions, but the Trump administration would first want a “quiet period” without nuclear or missile tests for discussions with Kim Jong Un’s regime to begin.

We have a new word in our world. It can be put in front of about anything and it explains a lot, yet it explains nothing…

I do not claim to understand crypto as a word. Nor as cryptocurrency and nor as anything else to speak of. I just know that it has become big and will, it seems, become bigger. Will it be a bubble? Will it crash and pop? Is it for real or is it a game? Is there an agenda behind it?

I study it and find that I am more confused after trying to figure it out…

But then, I do not claim to be the sharpest tack in the box, I just claim to see what is right and what is wrong. Right now I see more wrong than right with crypto anything…

I am a believer that if you can not eat it, wear it, use it for existence, then what good is it?

A knife is real, a weapon with ammo is real, a bow and arrow is real and your hands are real. These items will gather food and supplies in times of troubles. I think gold and silver have intrinsic value, but you cannot eat them and I would trade all the gold and silver in the world, for a indestructible hunting knife in which to survive with…

The fact that I am able to make a bow and arrow to hunt with, is priceless and “Visa” does not work if there is no power to phone home with. The fact that I can forge and harden a blade on a knife is what will save my life on day. It is not the fact that I have a weapon such as a gun and a thousand rounds of ammo, for once that ammo is gone, you have a club to beat people with and that is that…

There are short term important items and long term important items and knowledge and experience is the long term important thing…

How many people do you know, know how to make a snare to catch a rabbit, make a knife from a lawnmower blade and take PVC pipe and make a long bow to kill game with and for protection? Almost everything to survive is based on fire and basic supplies of the remains of civilization. Even if you do not use such skills, you need the knowledge that it can be done…

When I look at the word crypto:

I see the word crypt and when I think of a crypt, I see death and
an underground room or vault beneath a church, used as a chapel or burial place. Synonyms: tomb, vault, mausoleum, burial chamber, sepulchre, catacomb, ossuary, undercroft; I see death in that word…

I called the tunnels in Nam crypts and that they were. I have hand to hand, meter by meter through a crypt, leaving death behind me as I went. I use to be very brutal and very extreme about life…

People are jumping on the bandwagon called cryptocurrency, I now am seeing and know people who are just plain poor and as in playing the lottery, they are trying to play crypto magic and mine for coins…

I see no good from it all and when your power is gone, so are your magic coins…

A cryptoworld is cool!

But, something tells me that we need to also have enthusiasm for the basics of life. We need to learn how to grow our own food, learn how to live without a cellphone, learn how to make weapons, learn how to make clothes, learn how to collect water and purify that water. Even the ant, who lives in a huge city to speak of, understands that you must take care of yourself/themselves and the city survives. Ants do not ship food in from other countries and such, they forage and store food, food to survive the winters and such. The squirrel stores acorns for the winter and when Old man Winter is dancing outside, he stays put in his home and laughs at the dance…

I love electronics and they make life better, but we need to spend half of our lives and time living with out them. Create a life that utilizes electronics and enjoys what they bring, but we need to set aside such things and teach yourself, (man,child and woman,) how to sew and knit a hat for winter. Are you able to? I can…

We live like life will stay the same!

Maybe it will during your lifetime. But what about your children’s lifetime and their children’s lifetime? What are we teaching our children? That life is a cell phone and life is an electronic existence? Life is a movie? Life is?

Fact is, real life can be hard, hard as crawling through a crypt and killing people hand to hand in combat. Life is so hard that even as you live now, you need to fear what is happening round you. For your life can be taken from you for no reason and no warning that it is about to be snuffed out. You will face fear of a superior one day and you better hope they do not have a gun….for bang bang you are dead…

The video below is about a man (totally innocent man,) who never in his wildest dreams thought that as he is doing his job, he would be murdered and I never in my wildest dreams would think that a jury would acquit the cop/man that killed him in cold blooded murder. Do not watch the video, unless you want to see what happens when a cop/man has no intention of doing anything but killing you. If our society can accept and acquit the man that did this to another man in cold blood. What have we become? It matters not if he was a cop shooting another man. It was and is a man, killing a man and one of the men was crying, pleading and crawling on the ground in confusion… Bang bang you are dead…

Yet an Arizona jury recently failed to return a guilty verdict for the cop responsible for Shaver’s death. Officer Philip Brailsford shot and killed an innocent man who posed no threat, and although he was terminated from his job, Brailsford walked away a free man. This was an absolute abomination of justice, and it speaks to the growing public misperceptions of police use of force that have often gotten lost in political disputes.

The video disturbed me. Deeply disturbed me….disturbed me to the point of worrying about humans in our world we are building these days…

Yes it is a Cryptocrazy World…except my definition of “Crypto” has death in it. I guess that is my issue to deal with and I pray that you never have to deal with such thoughts and or actions…

Maybe it is time to start teaching our kids how to survive an encounter with cops and not how to mine for bitcoins?

Who Wants To Be President!!!

Well it seems that Putin wants to be president again… Old post and old video, but I like it…

Putin is talking about running as an independent. I think that if this is true? That is smart. The Russian people respect Putin, but not so much the government of Russia…

And there are others who want to be president…

Socialite Ksenia Sobchak…

Porn Star Elena Berkova….the west loves this one…

The 32-year-old mum-of-two, who will be the fourth female candidate to run for office, said she would introduce the death penalty for sexual harassment because she was fed up with people like Harvey Weinstein.

List of some desiring and wannabees:

Of course Gennady Zyuganov of the communist. Vladimir Zhirinovsky is always a choice, but he is faltering? Medvedev is another choice? Yelena Semerikova is another woman running? Maybe Maxim Suraikin will run as communist? Boris Titov? Grigory Yavlinsky? Elvira Agurbash? Anatoly Batashov? Andrey Bazhutin? Sergey Bizyukin? Ustin Chachikhin? Alexander Chukhlebov? Alexander Donskoy? Yekaterina Gordon? Alex Lesley? Vyacheslav Maltsev? Vladimir Mikhailov? Alexei Navalny? Sergei Polonsky? Larisa Renar? Alexandra Selyaninova? Samson Sholademi? Valentin Smirnov? Alexander Sukhov? Stepan Sulakshin? Alina Vitukhnovskaya? Boris Yakemenko? Rakhman Yansukov?

Must be some more?

Irina Volynets? Olga Anishchenko? Anton Bakov? Andrei Bogdanov….

Any more?

Andrey Getmanov? Stanislav Polishchuk? Sirazhdin Ramazanov? Ildar Rezyapov? Vyacheslav Smirnov? Alexey Zolotukhin?

Any more?

Pavel Grudinin? Sergey Mironov? Galina Khovanskaya? Oleg Shein? Alexander Burkov? Anatoly Greshnevikov? Nikolai Levichev? Valery Gartung? Yelena Drapeko? Anatoly Aksakov? Oleg Nilov? Natalia Velikaya? Alexander Bochkarev? Sergey Baburin? Rufina Shagapova?

Yes and we have independents…

Dmitry Rogozin? Mikhail Prokhorov? Irina Prokhorova? Yevgeny Roizman? Aleksei Chaly? Ivan Okhlobystin?

Cool! I know there are more, just have not found them yet….looks like a three ring circus is going on for Russian president. Nothing like thinning the oddball candidate voter base to the max…

Maybe I should run?

Amerikanski for President of Russia! Net!

But….this is the president of Russia…
