What does a 1000 rubles buy?

What you are faced with in a Russian store…decisions, decisions…

A 1000 rubles is as per todays exchange = $17.69…

I bought groceries for about six meals and that translates into around $3.00 a meal….two people, who will eat good. I bought, eight chicken breasts frozen, big bottle of soda, almost a kilo of red and yellow peppers, special tofu noodles, two cans of mushrooms, cucumbers, tomatoes, kielbasa, sour cream, two liters of milk and a dozen other items…

I had a huge sack full of goodies. I usually do not buy that much, but the refrigerator was getting empty. It is full now and I have food to cook for three plus days, with what was still in the fridge…

Cost of Living? Moscow way down the list…

I just wrote about how reasonable Moscow is to live at. I have talked before about such things. That money even included a treat for me. Some chips to munch on today. I buy them once in awhile and today I wanted a treat….they are spicy and since Svetochka does not like such goodies as this. I buy them just for myself… 😉

29 rubles buys a big pack and I love them….not really good for me, but sometimes we have to accept that we are weak and want something not good for us…

I did notice bread today was 8 rubles a kilo, but I do not buy hardly any bread anymore. but it is cheap…

It is real life in Russia…

Stores are packed with stock, food is cheap and life is good…

Putin sometimes tells jokes…

Putin tells an old yarn from the Soviet era about bureaucratic unpredictability: Just one variation of transcript below. Video is actually Putin…

An American spy goes to Lubyanka (the headquarters of the Soviet secret police in Moscow) and says:

— I’m a spy, I want to turn myself in.

— Who do you work for?

— America.

— OK, go to room 5.

He goes to room 5 and says:

— I’m an American spy. I want to turn myself in.

— Are you armed?

— Yes, I’m armed.

— Go to room 7, please.

He goes to room 7 and says:

— I am an American spy, I’m armed, I want to turn myself in.

— Go to room 10.

He goes to room 10 and says:

— I’m a spy, I want to turn myself in!

— Do you have any communication with the Americans?

— Yes.

— Go to room 20.

He goes to room 20 and says:

— I’m a spy, I’m armed, I’m in communication with America and I want to turn myself in.

— Have you been sent on a mission?

— Yes.

— Well? “Get out” and go do it! Stop bothering people while “they’re working!”

Now that is the truth… 😉

Cost of Living? Moscow way down the list…

https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/rankings.jsp

It is just what I have said time and time again. Moscow and especially Russia in general is a very cost effective place to live…

#1 Hamilton, Bermuda – 145.43
.
.
#14 New York, NY, United States – 100.00
.
.
#27 Washington, DC, United States – 91.94
.
.
.
.
#362 Moscow, Russia – 51.82
.
.
.
.
.
#540 Thiruvananthapuram, India – 20.86

Yet, as with all lies about Russia, we hear constantly that Russia (Moscow) is expensive to live in…

Sorry Charlie, it is pretty cheap actually….and very safe and comfy at the same time…

Infographic: Who Russians Consider Their Greatest Enemies

I post what I find interesting. Maybe there is more truth to be found, but it is interesting and it does hold to what I have been saying since sanctions were illegally introduced against Russia. No love for America anymore by Russians…

This chart shows the share of Russians who consider the following a threat (December 2017).

Source: Infographic: Who Russians Consider Their Greatest Enemies

When you act like a bully, bullies are not liked anymore. Maybe we are scared of bullies, but liking is not on the list. If the bully keeps going, the percent will travel higher and higher. Soon it will be 90% of Russians dislike and consider America a threat…

Sad thing is that this is not Russian propaganda at work. It is simply the facts and the truth. The sanctions are illegal and that is that and it is natural to dislike those who impose upon those unnecessarily….the propaganda against Russia is working. Russians are tired of Americans and their “better than thou” attitude…

Statista is a western based company and not a Russian based website. The information within is western produced…

Anomaly, aberration and absurdity; coffee please…

Facebook fell in a swan dive last week. An interesting article of a few years back, just about hit the nail on the head….It has been an anomaly that a site that was an upgraded version of Myspace would end up so highly valued. It has been explained to those that accept the truth, “Facebook is government funded!” Under the table, but funded nonetheless….

An aberration? Thy name is Facebook. Same thing for Amazon. A company that undercuts other businesses, fails to make a boniface profit, and yet the stock price continues to float ever higher, as if flying carpets are real!

We have many companies that are supported by a buttress hidden deep under layers of facades to conceal the activity. It is there nevertheless and the only reason so many companies only shine on Wall Street and her hawked importance…. For without the success stories? The US would have “sweet Fanny Adams” and those moments of delightful green shoots are getting harder to choke down and more so everyday…

That isn’t merely an aberration, that is delineated deliration! Are we at peak insanity? Each day one more thing happens that makes the obtuse thing that happened the day before seem not quite as vapid as the day before and on and on and on… (I wonder is there peak Chaos?)

I first learned about Triffin’s Paradox while at my collage, I don’t know if it is a true hardened paradox and or a simple incongruity, or better yet complete and utter crap…

As for what the future brings? I have no idea. I know that the self-proclaimed owners of the planet Earth, view me, you, us, them and those, as bovines and expendable fodder in all aspects…

I like being alive, so my plan is to remain mobile and flexible. Could I do what so many talk about on the Internet?  Could I see myself fleeing the US to preserve my life, sanity and or my equability? Yes and I did just that. Thus, why I am in Russia…

As I write this people in Europe are being hunted for adverse comments posted on Facebook.

Who defines hate speech? Facebook became the law?

Anomaly, aberration and absurdity is what many companies that we proudly call American are. Yet I find that their overseas activities (either manufacturing and or core sales) is their only real money source. The activity associated with the USA is a masqueraded remuneration for back door activities associated particularly with the State and or states around the world….centered with the US! Simply put: They lose money yet still have viability as a company or they have ungodly support through tax breaks and other slight of hand activities, that allow profit levels to sound and be absurd…

Just look at Apple inc…

Yes, I believe that anyone and anything can be worth $1 Trillion and I am looking forward to the first Quadrillionaire!

Did you know that Russia is messing up Mexico’s Elections?

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/367844-mcmaster-points-to-russian-interference-in-mexican-election

McMaster: Russia interfering in Mexican election

National security adviser H.R. McMaster says there are early signs of Russian interference in Mexico’s upcoming presidential election.

Providing the keynote address for the Jamestown Foundation, McMaster pointed to Mexico as an example of where Russia is engaging in a disinformation campaign.

“You’ve seen actually initial signs of it in the Mexican presidential campaign already,” McMaster said in previously unreported remarks made during the Dec. 15 address. His comments were first highlighted on Sunday by Mexico’s Reforma newspaper.

Mexico’s presidential election will take place in July.

It never ends….this is…

Looks like us westerners learned from the best then! Didn’t we?

The Russian Bolsheviks have discovered that truth does not matter so long as there is reiteration. They have no difficulty whatever in countering a fact by a lie which, if repeated often enough and loudly enough, becomes accepted by the people. – Winston Churchill

We have become a “Russian Bolsheviks“…

Keep lying for if you don’t, they will start seeing the truth and then you are in trouble for sure! Right?

Have a nice day…. Mr. and Mrs. Bolshevik…

Oh my, My life has been threatened over this post…

Street Outside Russian Embassy in Washington DC renamed for a Russian Dissident?

Ouch, this article above, one that was posted a few days ago, hit some nerves. The DC crowd lost it and I received several official nasty emails telling me that I am going to be watched carefully and better step, as if I am walking on eggshells…

I guess Truth Hurts!


I had one email from the USDA and they were not nice. Did you know I am a Commie Fag? Then, The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) had someone sitting in a office somewhere and emailed me, told me that all Russian children should be forcefully removed from Russia and brought to western countries to be raised. They said children do not deserve to be raised under the rot and devilry that Russia is…


Then one from admin offices of FEMA in Denver, Colorado wanted me shot and drawn and quartered then hung, for all to see as an example to bad Americans….not sure what order they want all the above to be done in, but if you allow me to have input; please shoot me in the head first, before you follow through on the rest of your desires….thanks…


I don’t feel very loved today…

The Persecution of Julian Assange, Snowden and the Persecuted Manning…

Paul Craig Roberts is worse than I am at preaching to the choir, but he is correct 90% of the time….more people need to listen from outside the choir…

The Persecution of Julian Assange Paul Craig Roberts “We need a political intervention to make this situation end. He (Assange) is the only political prisoner in Western Europe.”  -Juan Braco

Now I feel that Assange is far from a perfect person (I am myself far from perfect)  Manning is far from perfect and Snowden stuck in Russia, is far from perfect. (Just like all of us, we are far from perfect!) They (and I have) done things that are good and that are bad. Sometimes we do things for personal gain and sometimes for the gain of others, but “truth” is never wrong. When truth is put on trial, as I see it happening everyday and lies are abundant, as truth is squelched, we are in a deep hole of deceit at that point. Assange and Snowden are being still persecuted unfairly over the truth and that is as simple as it gets. Truth should never be censored…

But there is not really anyone who knows the truth anymore. For truth has become a victim, just like Assange has in a war against truth. I would say that Snowden has the best deal over Assange. Snowden is where I live, in Russia and has the world (Well most of it at least. America wants to “Manning” him!) open to him. Assange has been illegally held against his wishes and he has nothing that has been held against him, accept lies….I know a country that would love to “Manning” Assange…

People say they should allow the system to judge them. But the system is the most corrupt system on earth and they have already been judged by trial by media and governmental services. The laymen listen to the judgment and they judge according to the propaganda set forth. Heaven forbid Manning went into isolation American MIC Style a man and came out a woman. That is only why he is still alive… He was persecuted by fire and brim stone at the hands of the system and to even see daylight again, he became the gender poster boy girl…

We ignore the fact he was held isolated for years and was sentence to 35 years, hey become a woman and get out of jail free. Well I am not sure how free he made the decision, but as long as he is happy, more power to him, but they would kill me first, I like who I am…

Maybe Snowden and Assange would prefer to stay men and not be tortured until they agreed to be a “girlfriend”…

Oh yes I know, I am the idiot in all this and Manning is doing what makes Manning happy, his decision was based on love and care from the MIC and no one ever in our benevolent administration of the USA would have been mean to Manning and threatened him with any maltreatments… ~Sarc~

Until we get off our asses and take back control of our lives, (which many would stare in horror at the thought of making decisions on your own,) our lives are worthless and not at all what the creator(s) envisioned as the future of mankind…

Maybe we are too inbred…
