Well that looks bad no matter how you spin it…


Oh My!

Between a rock and a hard place…

Did he lie? Is it the truth? Either way it looks bad…

No debates….Biden now will get it….If he has it, did he not take precautions?….Now anyone to do with the debates has to be quarantined…

No matter how you look at it….the man who should be the most aware of this virus….good and or bad, just got blessed by King Corona…

Oh My! Western Media Bold Faced Lied again and again (Snowden)


While it is obvious that the Western Empire of the USA is trying to get Snowden’s money from his book and speeches. As a discredit slight of hand at Snowden. For Snowden bodily is out of reach for them. Snowden has at least woke up and put in some relationship to reality and will not give up all his money…

Permanent Record a book by Snowden of controversy

Thus, we now see that MSM bold faced lied and we all know that MSM is just following orders of its master the USA…

Edward Snowden has accused CNN of twisting facts by claiming that he was willing to forfeit book proceeds in favor of the US government. He even offered a “better” headline for the contested piece.Citing US court documents, CNN reported that Snowden “agreed” to forfeit more than $5 million he had allegedly earned from his book and speaking fees to the US government. The whistleblower reacted by saying that the news outlet has “badly misreported this.””A) This is not a settlement; I didn’t agree to it. B) The judgement from this censorship case is not enforceable while I am in exile, but I’ve never had that much money anyway,” Snowden wrote on Twitter.He suggested a “better” headline – “US could gain up to $5m by pardoning Edward Snowden” – instead of CNN’s “Edward Snowden agrees to give up more than $5 million from book and speeches.”

Snowden Tweeted:


But still Snowden, why use a western publisher? Yes Snowden, they know the proceeds of your book, because you published it in their system and their jurisdiction! Yes Snowden, your body is out of reach, yet never under estimate the financial and propaganda reach of the USA…

Yet, again the US officially posts their desires of grandeur for all who want to see the lies:

United States Obtains Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction Against Edward Snowden:

On Sept. 29, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia entered a final judgment and permanent injunction against Edward Snowden, a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA). In September 2019, the United States filed a lawsuit against Snowden, who published a book entitled Permanent Record in violation of the non-disclosure agreements he signed with both CIA and NSA. The lawsuit alleged that Snowden published his book without submitting it to the agencies for pre-publication review, in violation of his express obligations under the agreements he signed. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that Snowden has given public speeches on intelligence-related matters, also in violation of his non-disclosure agreements. The United States’ lawsuit did not seek to stop or restrict the publication or distribution of Permanent Record. Rather, under well-established Supreme Court precedent, Snepp v. United States, the government sought to recover all proceeds earned by Snowden because of his failure to submit his publication for pre-publication review in violation of his alleged contractual and fiduciary obligations. In December 2019, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, found in favor of the United States in the suit against Snowden on the issue of liability and held that Snowden breached his contractual and fiduciary obligations to the CIA and NSA by publishing Permanent Record and giving prepared remarks within the scope of his pre-publication review obligations, but reserved judgment on the scope of these violations or the remedies due to the government. On Tuesday, the court entered judgment in the government’s favor in an amount exceeding $5.2 million and imposed a constructive trust for the benefit of the United States over those sums and any further monies, royalties, or other financial advantages derived by Snowden from Permanent Record and 56 specific speeches. “Edward Snowden violated his legal obligations to the United States, and therefore, his unlawful financial gains must be relinquished to the government,” said Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen. “As this case demonstrates, the Department of Justice will not overlook the wrongful actions of those who seek to betray the trust reposed in them and to personally profit from their access to classified national security information.” “Intelligence information should protect our nation, not provide personal profit,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “This judgment will ensure that Edward Snowden receives no monetary benefits from breaching the trust placed in him.” “We will pursue those who take advantage of sensitive positions in government to profit from the classified information learned during their government service,” said Jeffrey Bossert Clark, Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Division. This lawsuit is separate from the criminal charges brought against Snowden for his alleged disclosures of classified information. This lawsuit is a civil action, and based solely on Snowden’s failure to comply with the clear pre-publication review obligations included in his signed non-disclosure agreements. This matter is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia and the Department of Justice’s Civil Division.

I suspect that the US will get what funds Snowden has not squirreled away on Russian soil!

Which in itself is a very wrong move by the USA…

I still have very little sympathy for Snowden and his plight and by either sheer luck of vast proportions and or planned proportions….Snowden has been safe and sound in Russia…

That brings up the simple fact of what if Russia did not allow Snowden under her wings of protection? We all know that answer and all we have to do is watch what is happening to Assange…

As I said, “Book of Controversy”!

Now I will say to Snowden, “Russia has been very good to you and it is time to shut up and live your life within Russia. It is time to stop trying to grab your extra moments of fame and fade into the background. You have more than enough money to live like a king in Russia and seriously, Russia is much more free than the USA anyway….I know that is true Snowden, I have lived in Russia since 2006….way before you decided to play your games and bring Russia into them!”

Right or wrong in my and or anyone’s eyes. Snowden has won the roll of dice at the Craps Table and he needs to settle down and enjoy life, as only Russia can allow him to enjoy…

Russia is simply a wonderful free country to live in and I know!

Thoughts while working…TRV


I find that we live in interesting times…

While I work? I think! Here are a few thoughts…

1). Navalny Sir Novichok, was and is on probation for multiple illegal activities and could not leave Russia….Russia has Covid-19 closed borders….yet they seemed to be open for him to leave? His last illegal activity saw him lose several million Dollars & his Moscow flat. Don’t worry, he has more property than that…

He up to no good in Tomsk as he was investigating the Tomsk governor. Navalny Sir Novichok whom is a well known swindler himself was looking into the activities & business of one of his peer group. Now that can get you killed anywhere in the world, especially if you are as seedy as Navalny Sir Novichok is…

It seems that normally anyone investigating the noises upon the jet Navalny Sir Novichok escaped on, would question immediately what happened in that jet toilet, to cause him to squeal like a child….Some bad drugs from Tomsk? If you follow the Russian news/blogs/websites and anyone who knows Navalny, he is definitely into illegal activities for his enjoyment…

So why was Navalny allowed to cross the border into Germany? When at the time he traveled there, he actually could not. Germany just now removed the restrictions on Covid-19 travel and have just cleansed their Gov websites of all that information. Hmm…

2). Belarus; Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia all involved in a circle of games….North Stream 2 (?). (Also) Belarus is a oil transit country and under the gun, while the others (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) yap like good lapdogs….and of course Russia is the actual target…

3). The benevolent & sock monkey Empire of the USA/UK still skirts any dealing with Russia in anyway at all. Except constantly throwing insults, bullying, threats, accusations, sanctions, and constant armed force activities near Russia’s borders…

4). Trump….officially declared that the Russians removed by its sneaky abilities the USA hyper-sonic weapons and got them from Obama.

This reminds me of how the Brits declared that Russia stole their vaccine and now have no vaccine to combat King Corona!

Yet, if the Russians did do these two terrible things of evil…. Why have the USA/UK not deployed hyper-sonic weapons also? (Not just Russia!) & Only Russia has two vaccines and 2 actual treatments (and not the UK/USA)?

Okay! Them Russians stole all data involved with the hyper-sonic weapons and Covid-19. bad Russia….and well, doesn’t anyone have backup of their data?

Again the “concepts” of “proof” and or “evidence” have become extinct in the Western Empires media and political world….part of that, “empire committing suicide” in the latest soap opera…

5). What we are seeing is an empire being bled dry and turned into a wasteland of its former self….I guess the Powers to Be are done with the Empire…

6). The normality of insanity of the US. Where living in a world where facts or logic have simply become irrelevant”, is the new normality of its existence…

A contributory purpose behind these amazing wonders of logic, is that some people in the remainder of the world & not within “The USA”, upon where realities and rationale are not insignificant, do have some real specialists in investigation. Thus, the system whom through co-activity have added to the advancement of the complicity of “The USA” moves in horizontal cycles of their own self-centered and amazing quality of existence, which many in the world considered insane and hazardous to world existence…

Therefore, to many of us outside of the extremely controlled reactions and actions portended by the USA are neither unexpected yet, very unwelcome…

7). I find that it is tidbits like this; It is an insult to the intelligence of anyone paying attention, that it is the “official narrative” that the president of Venezuela is someone who no one voted for. (Yet) It was an even more predominately accurate than the Belarus election and that is sufficiently accurate. Especially compared to elections flaunted in our face by the USA…

8). What does the west stand for in my eyes? (Just a few listed.)

a. Late term abortions, murdering babies sucked out of their mother’s womb and killed for body parts to be sold for profit (Planned Parenthood).
b. Unlimited genders.
c. Transsexual assignments.
d. Destruction of family.
e. Children as sexual objects.
f. Derogation of religion.
g. Attack on everything male.
h. Degradation of traditional education.
i. Bastardization of science, with half the science papers published are fraudulent and/or plagiarism.
j. Cheapening of meritocracy.
k. Devaluation of work.

9). The sad part is a large section of the American people do nor understand the difference between “Confirmed Evidence” and “Highly Likely” hearsay…

10). People ruling the Western Empire are deeply convinced they are the best in everything. Yet, are now becoming unable to do anything…

11). Today’s peer groups are about androgynous overweight demi-humans living in their parents home’s basement, plugged into social media 24hrs a day and trying to figure out which of their 62+ genders they want to be associated with that day….not all totally accurate, yet to have a huge portion of that populace to be associated with such is enough in itself…

12). The world is worse than insanely evil and that is not a new thing, it just has too many new technologies to back up the insanity…

13). Ordinary people everywhere are way, way too naive to the evil around us and admittedly simply too ignorant of all around them….Is it because they fear the consequences of not being nice to Evil? Or of becoming a specific target? Are they scared of being Snowdened, Assanged and Manninged?

Interesting has gone total psychotic…

Tiny Russian Village Home (Photos)


Finally, everything is painted but the barn. All sheds are painted, the house is painted, the fence is painted and I have lots of sore muscles and paint all over me… 😉

Okay not all is painted; I still have to figure out how to get upon a roof that will not hold my weight and not crack. Then after painting the top sides of the home, I will be done. Having issues getting my head around how to accomplish this feat…

The yard is re-fenced back to original. With the front section separate from the back section and I also got all fence posts installed and all posts painted on our field. Now, after finances recover due to the Volga needing repairs, I will get chain link when I am able to…

This is how I feel this morning…

Sammy the Volga is still at the shop and we have had to replace a few more items. But, she is getting better. Had to install a tie rod in the front end and we will have the engine re-ringed and upper valve assembly refurbished (new valve seals and grind the valves). The engine was used when we had it installed and we want many years of use out of her. We just took all the money to pay Paul and gave it to Peter… 🙁

Thus the chain link fencing named Paul has to wait…

We also had a bad drive shaft joint and ended up needed a new clutch fork also. It just never ends, it seems…

I will paint the shed door today and will make it orange, like the front door of the home and I have just enough white-wash to finish a small section of fencing in the back of the home area…

I also put in 8 fence posts in Mom’s village home fence and mowed her yard completely. I will winterize her place in the next few days. Sad that no one came to use that home this year, but King Corona has really upset the apple cart this year…

So I woke at 1:30 a.m. after going to bed by 8 last night and wondering exactly what I will do? As I feel rather sore and tired this morning, I think I will just read a book today!

Gotta run and enjoy the peace and quiet and the wonderful solitude of the Tiny Russian Village…

Issues of the engine model ZMZ 406:

A. Timing chain tension. It is a big issue. Due to weak tension and guide. Lucky for this engine, chain goes, yet no destroyed valves and piston tops.
B. Overheating of ZMZ-406. A common problem, very often the issue that leads to all other issues. The thermostat sticking and a plugged marginal sized radiator are usually to blame.
C. High oil consumption. Usually the issue is in oil scraper rings and valve seals.
D. Failing ignition coils. On ZMZ-406 this is not uncommon, change and the motor will once again run good.
E. Knocks in the engine. The 406 has weak hydraulic lifters. If you hear a knock? First check the lifters, they go about max 50,000 km.
F. ZMZ 406 stalls. The thing, most often, is in the plug wires, crankshaft sensor or IAC sensor.

If maintained? The engine is capable of 300,000 kilometers…

Permanent Record a book by Snowden of controversy


Permanent Record a book by Snowden of controversy:

I have thought about this issue for days now. It reconfirms my suspicions about Snowden and the truth…First thing…

Taken from the inside of the book: First published 2019 by Metropolitan Books, Henry Holt and Company, LLC First published in the UK 2019 by Macmillan This electronic edition first published in the UK 2019 by Macmillan an imprint of Pan Macmillan 20 New Wharf Road, London N1 9RR

Now we are told:

Snowden Reportedly Agrees to Pay United States $5 Million From Book, Speeches – Sputnik International: MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) contractor Edward Snowden, who leaked intelligence secrets in 2013, has agreed to pay the US government more than $5 million earned from his book “Permanent Record” and speeches, CNN reported citing court records. In September 2019, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the whistleblower over claims that he violated non-disclosure obligations by not submitting his original autobiography to the government for review before publishing. A federal judge ruled in December that the US government was entitled to all the profits from the original version of the autobiography due to this violation. According to the plan to which Snowden and the administration of US President Donald Trump agreed, the money is to be put in a trust. An attorney for Snowden said the agreement filed in court Tuesday did not mean the US government would be able to take the money immediately, as Snowden was considering an appeal against the judge’s previous ruling that he was liable for the disclosures, CNN said.Snowden has been living in Russia since 2013. He fled the United States after leaking classified documents showing that the National Security Agency was collecting the telephone records of millions of US citizens. He is wanted in the United States on espionage charges.

That gave me pause in my thoughts. I kept asking, “Why?” Why did he publish a book in the UK system? Why does a man being hunted and threatened publish a book through the UK system? The UK basically is the same as publishing through the USA system…

With so many places around the world to publish the book? So many places to publish the book free of the bully called by me, “The Western Empire!” Why? Did he publish a book that he allowed an easy access to his earnings. He is in Russia and did not have a good relationship with the USA and or the UK at the time he published the book and as it sits right now, he still does not have any relationship but to be jailed for life, if lucky…

So I ask, “Why did he not publish the book with a Russian, Chinese even a Mongolian Publisher?” There are plenty of them!

That leads to my second thought:

Either he is a bonafide patsy, or he is a sham..

Pardon Snowden?

Hell, even if he just looked at the web and surfed about the repression that the USA does against websites? He would have found WtR has been molested (financially, hosting, DDoS attacks, lawyer letters of cease and desist on certain subjects and twenty other whatnot’s ) for many years by the sweet and liberty guises of the USA…

Snowden made at least $5 million dollars that we are told of. He lives in Russia. He is safe in Russia. Russia will never hand him over, unlike the situation being played out for mass consumption over Assange with the UK and the USA…

He has given the USA his money from book sales and speeches. Given it by default of using USA and or UK lap puppy services. Do you see Russia demanding his money? Money he made while living in Russia, under the protection of Russia….No, I don’t see that either….he lives the life of Riley in Russia…

Tidbit: Snowden; never use your name, wife’s name, families name and or dogs name on anything to do with money/taxes/liens/judgments and the USA. Find that one Russian who is loyal beyond all doubt and they can help you keep your money safe. Very likely Snowden has put his family in America at risk of foreclosure, for the USA will take it from whomever they can easily get to…

That family connection? May be very well why he will give up the money? The GOV will take his parents money, if they cannot get his!

So then I am able to conclude:

As I have been saying from the beginning; The situation around Snowden is not what it seems. His actions and doings are not of a man who is suppose to be as intelligent as he is. The moves he made from the beginning of his escapades (On June 23, 2013, Snowden flew from Hong Kong to Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport) to this latest folly (Permanent Record). Does not instill confidence in all that Snowden proclaims and does…

I can accept issues at first about panicking and not understanding the extent of the USA and ability to destroy you when they want your life snuffed. Yet he had first hand information on exactly what the USA and friends will do! Yet again, after all these years living in Russia, I would have to say that Snowden should have become able to see see the forest for the trees…

Thus, without a doubt, “Either he is a bonafide patsy, or he is a sham…”

Either way he does not instill confidence in what he has done and tries to do. He keeps being handed silver platters and not many of us can find those silver platters in life….as he fumbles them and keeps longing for a home/government that hates him…

At the games end we shall see who gains. – George Herbert

Yes we will see and I think as always, we will be very disappointed in what we have been lead to believe from the start…

Sounds par for the course!

Finally news that makes a coffee lover smile…


It is no secrete that I just simply love coffee and any news that tells me that sipping that cup of coffee is good for me, well that is good news, no matter what anyone else thinks…

A year after California considered putting cancer warning labels on coffee, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has given java a glowing review in the newly-released World Cancer Report 2020.Amidst the chapters about genetic and socioeconomic risk factors for cancer, the researchers of the report, released roughly every five years, noted that there is evidence suggesting coffee reduces the risk of certain cancers. “Recent research suggests that coffee consumption may lower the risk of liver cancer and endometrial cancer,” the authors wrote.

Now if we can just get a report that says, “Coffee will make you immortal!”

Someday, yes someday drinking coffee will make you live for ever. Maybe if I drink enough coffee, I can still function after my body dies. You know caffeine is a stimulant?

Okay, well I can dream…
