Actual title of article: Are Russian Trolls Saving Measles From Extinction?
So NO! Russia has nothing to do with it, but we (west) gotta lie…
Scientific researchers say Russian social-media trolls who spread discord before the 2016 U.S. presidential election may also have played an unintended role in a developing global health crisis. They say the trolls may have contributed to the 2018 outbreak of measles in Europe that killed 72 people and infected more than 82,000 — mostly in Eastern and Southeastern European countries known to have been targeted by Russia-based disinformation campaigns. Experts in the United States and Europe are now w
No it is not a made up article by me. It is not a joke, but it should be an Onion article. Except it is an article that the west, like a million others as the west has done, has put out to the masses…
If they should point fingers point at Ukraine, for they are being slaughtered because they do not immunize…
Sad, but hey lets blame Russia for everything. I mean everything…
The current American anti-Russian hysteria is starting to make McCarthyism** look sane and intelligent…
The Russians are coming!
WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced a bill on Wednesday that would impose stiff new sanctions on Russia over its meddling in U.S. elections and aggression against Ukraine, the latest congressional effort to push President Donald Trump to ratchet up Washington’s response to Moscow. It was introduced by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Bob Menendez, as well as other members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It is a tougher version of legislation…
And we’re still waiting for a true factual reason, US can’t compete anymore, it can only sanction the competition and the sanctions are based on lies to start with…
** McCarthyism: a hateful and chaotic campaign against alleged communists in the US government and other institutions carried out under Senator Joseph McCarthy in the period late 1940s and 1950s. Many of the accused were blacklisted or lost their jobs, though most did not in fact belong to the Communist Party…
Starting to sound/look like “Russophobia” on steroids!

PS: To believe that the United States of America is competitive in the modern world, requires an almost unintelligible impotence or simply foot-dragging to peer at the basic truth, as it stares back from the mirror….Thus we hurt all who excel in an attempt to prolong our foot-dragging… – kKEETON
Other words: make sure that the Russian Internet system is a standalone system….and when the Western Empire (USA) turns it off, against everyone/countries they do not like. Then Russia still has its internet system for her people…
Наталья Касперская подтвердила РБК, что на заседании рабочей группы обсуждался законопроект об устойчивости Рунета к отключению извне. «Все участники обсуждения сходятся в том, что у него благие цели, но механизмы его реализации вызывают много вопросов и споров. Тем более, способы его реализации пока точно не прописаны. Поэтому пришли к тому, что участникам рынка надо организовать учения или что-то подобное, чтобы понять, как это все может быть реализовано на практике», — отметила Касперская…
Natalya Kasperskaya confirmed to RBC that at the meeting of the working group, a bill was discussed on the sustainability of the Runet for external shutdown. “All participants in the discussion agree that he has good goals, but the mechanisms for its implementation raise many questions and disputes. Moreover, the methods of its implementation have not yet been precisely defined. Therefore, they came to the conclusion that market participants need to organize exercises or something similar in order to understand how this can all be implemented in practice,” said Kasperskaya…
Netanyahu said, “What is important about this meeting – and this meeting is not in secret, because there are many of those – is that this is an open meeting with representatives of leading Arab countries, that are sitting down together with Israel in order to advance the common interest of war with Iran.”
“War with Iran?”
Zippy Do Da… That is a quote Maynard…
Combating I mean…
Then it became this below after realization that they really did just, “Declared war on Iran!” per Twitter Tweet…
I have images because they are deleting tweets as fast as they can to cover the Twit before the Brain syndrome…
Oops said the War Birds!
Tell us what you really think, Netanyahu of Israel…
You cannot make this stuff up…

PS: And we always point at Iran as the bad guy. The bad guy is one behind the curtain at OZ…
The US national debt has climbed above $22 trillion…
Don’t like that I (an independent nobody) say it? Then look at MSM and they all say it…
WASHINGTON – The national debt surpassed $22 trillion for the first time on Tuesday, a milestone that experts warned is further proof the country is on an unsustainable financial path that could jeopardize the economic security of every American. The Treasury Department reported the debt hit $22.012 trillion
This is a shame and neither party is tackling this potential catastrophe. It is funny when we talk about what is the major threat(s) to our country. We point at Russia, China, Iran and many others….Well, I would say our debt is the number one threat to our country. That is along with the politicians/CEO’s that simply run amok, as they spend like children in a candy store…
Our path is detrimental. Just like the debt path that crippled so many other nations throughout history. If we do not rein in our spending and taxing from before our birth and to death and beyond, out of everyone associated with the USA, then we are sure to face dire consequences…
They had pissed me off and I have finally found the answer…
The business-focused CMS Powerful. Versatile. Predictable. ClassicPress is a modified and enhanced version of WordPress (without Gutenberg) that serves the business website market…
I could not understand why WordPress would destroy such a wonderful system. I found out I was not alone and people much smarter than I have solved the issue….but I am smart enough to switch…
This site windowstorussia.com no longer runs upon Original WordPress, it runs upon the CMS (Content Managing System) called “ClassicPress” and thank god for that…
As the newcomer business-grade CMS, ClassicPress has a lot to prove. WordPress is the dominant CMS, currently powering more than 30% of all websites (60% of websites built on a CMS); for some perspective, see the chart. As a fork of WordPress, ClassicPress plans to capitalize on what we believe is a misstep for business and professional users in WordPress’s decision to integrate the block editor into core (originally introduced as the Gutenberg plugin). ClassicPress v1.0.0 will be the beginning of a Long…
After thinking about what to do for several months and grumbling about what WordPress did to mess up my way of blogging, I have switched and there was not a single hiccup…
It was easy and painless…
I still do not understand why WordPress did what they did, but I see this as somewhat why…
They think I am stupid!
They love to piss off all the old timers in the blogging business!
They like alphabet blocks!
They love block editing!
They think everyone is on mobile!
They hate the computer desktop!
They do not want people learning to code!
They do not listen to stupids like myself!
They decided to cater to those more stupid than I am!
Finally: They only love Sock Monkey people (Like Facebook)…
So I left, because the company I was keeping/associated with was even more stupid than I am…
What a last few days. I got my new passport and I just got my website back under control from the stupids…
На архипелаге Новая Земля объявлен режим чрезвычайной ситуации из-за нашествия белых медведей. В населенных пунктах Архангельской области животных с каждым днем становится все больше, голод вынуждает их подбираться все ближе к людям. Опасных зверей встречают на свалках, улицах и на детских площадках. Доходит до того, что незваные гости забредают в подъезды жилых домов. О нашествии говорят не только местные власти, которые публикуют официальные заявления и предупреждения, но и владельцы аккаунтов в Instagram….
See red dot… Yes way up north…
On the archipelago (Group of Islands) of Novaya Zemlya, Russia declared a state of emergency due to the invasion of polar bears. In the settlements of the Arkhangelsk region of animals every day becomes more and more, hunger forces them to get closer and closer to people. Dangerous animals are met in landfills, streets and playgrounds. It comes to the fact that uninvited guests wander into the porches of residential buildings. Not only local authorities, who publish official statements and warnings, but also Instagram account holders speak about the invasion. The latter, however, the situation is not so much scary as entertains. The brightest publications of eyewitnesses – in the collection “Tapes.ru”.
Governmental people have come to asses the issue and so far the situation has improved. They have been tranquilizing the bears and hauling them off. But as usual, Russians will feed the bears and more bears will come. Kinda like, if you feed the wild dogs or wild cats you get more wild dogs and cats…
For the past month I have been working on getting my U.S. Passport renewed. If you live outside the USA and do not desire to wander back to the US and renew there, you can, in most countries renew your passport while in another country…
Now this article is the basics and the next article will be my experience, going through all this. (Won’t be a next article!) Your mileage will very according to your experience and country you attempt to renew from…
This experience is from Russia and at the Moscow Consulate…
Tidbit: I got my passport card also and they had also just received that card and I was able to pick up both passport and passport card… Yippy!
Now there is one more form specific to keep your old passport in Russia for a US passport renewal and they will hand it to you at the counter to fill out. I cannot find it online and it is not necessary at many consulates. It is a form that allows you to request keeping your old passport (free they specifically specify) and this is a good change from ten years ago when I replaced my passport from being stolen. I had to fight to keep my old passport….they have changed that set of rules and believe you me, I was ready to fight again (I had to make a few phone calls back US home side to higher ups at that time.) and even had the bribe money (This time!) that they (US consulate (They wanted $80 to allow me to keep my old passport.)) demanded last time… (Looks like I was not the only one to have to deal with that issue and they changed it!)
As I say your mileage will very in other countries and as you would learn while traveling, all consulates from all countries have different rules for each country they reside in. Just because the US Consulate is nice in Moscow, does not mean at all that the US Consulate in Israel will care if you live or die… (Remember that tidbit as you travel.)
Yes I am grumbling, because it is important to know what you face in the real world. What the real world looks like in the USA Stateside is nothing for what it looks like at the US Embassy in each country. Sometimes it is better and sometimes much worse…
Do not expect it to be like a Big Mac and be the same the world over…
Things went well and I have my passport and as I have learned in the real world, this is a very good thing…
I do want to thank the efficiency and speediness of the US Consulate here in Moscow. There was not a delay from Gov. shutdown issues and they were always polite and okay to work with. Lots and lots of Russians working in the USA Consulate and that language barrier was the only real issue I found for many people trying to get things done…
Every window I came to. I felt like I listened to this…
I loved it, but it seemed a bit too much at times. Then when I got an American, I was like, “Wow, they do have Americans here!”
How Trump’s trade war kept Russian fish sticks in US school lunchrooms: Washington (CNN) – A trade decision by the Trump administration has inadvertently protected a price advantage enjoyed by Russian-caught fish sold in the US, much of which ends up in fish sticks served to American school children. For years, Alaskan fishermen have been frustrated by foreign competition from Russia, particularly in the lucrative pollock market. Caught in Russian waters, this cold-water cousin of the cod is processed in China before being sold in the US for use in frozen and breaded fish product
Maybe this coming Tuesday, Svetochka and I will go to Moscow and I will visit the USA Embassy/Consulate and pick up my passport…
Then I will write about the whole experience and let people know what information they need and what to do when you are out of the US and need to renew their passport…
