Year: 2020

I first came to Russia in 2006 and found peanut butter in a special Moscow store downtown Moscow. Only place and very very expensive. Unbelievably expensive…

Then after I griped about no peanut butter in Russia and few years later….imported from the USA, France and Brazil appeared on the shelves. Price dropped considerably and then Chinese peanut butter appeared and price really dropped. Good stuff from China by the way…

Then Russia has finally decided that they can make it and yes it is easy to make…

Now we have dirt cheap and very creamy yummy Russian peanut butter (paste of peanuts) and in all the stores…

Things do change, slowly at times, yet things do change…

I just love peanut butter… (Я просто люблю арахисовое масло…)

РОГОЗИН was so excited…

Gotta love it!

I said out loud, as I watched, “Now that is what I am talking about!”

Simply thinking about what life is really about…

Update: Because of this post…. *** Zero Hedge removed my privileges to comment on their site. I guess I upset a few apple carts with the truth…

---

Many sites who can afford it are going to paywalls to hide comments behind. It is the new way to try to hide against the censorship that Google, Facebook, Twitter and other “Gov” censoring sites does to your posts. Comments are now officially a liability and even what few I have had lately have been the cause of posts to be banned. Not the content that is being banned yet, but the comments cause the post to be ignored by search engines…

Threatening letters have been sent by e-mail and it is just not worth it anymore…

You will find as I am always on the beginning of stating the facts, “Comments will become and are now being exploited as a means to censor articles that do not meet the desired criteria for acceptance!”

This will ultimately end up even against articles all over the world, but for now, that freedom of comments has been hit hard and will be hit harder as a means to censor articles, unless you have lots of money and can get a ton of subscribers to a private paywall system…

I leave very few comments anywhere anymore. I do not care to get comments anymore myself. The comments you receive are 75% trolled by external forces anyway. For the most part, by government associated think-tanks who spend all their time looking for articles to disrupt the line of thinking being presented….mainly thinking and thoughts that do not go along with the status quo…

A perfect example of a destroyed website is Zero Hedge;

Needless to say, whether due to “mistakes” or overt attempts to demonetize us, the writing on the wall was clear: while they may be entirely within their rights to do whatever they want as “private” companies, pardon monopolies, the ‘social’ and ad-based gatekeepers of online content – the twitters, the googles, the facebooks of the world – had launched an overt crusade to upend the uncensored internet, to snuff out independent thought, contrarian views, and inconvenient opinions and create one giant echo chamber of consent straight out of George Orwell. To do that they would use any and every tool they have access to, and unfortunately we had to comply with the whims of these monopolies which nobody in Congress has the guts to challenge directly and to strip them of their too-big-to-question powers.

Update: *** (Oops, I upset some ZH apple carts with this next statement!)

Now it does not matter that Zero Hedge was going down the slippery slope of worthlessness this last few years. It does not matter that six years by me of being a ZH’er and I disagree with its path after it sold out and folded under the pressure…

The fact is that ZH is not worth the time or trouble to have a comment system and the hate on the comments became way too much, this last year with all the Trumpies and Bidenites threatening everyone everywhere. So to pay to be insulted by morons is not in the works…

ZH wants big dollars to act like an idiot and I am sure that with all there is in the world, many will sign up!

Not me, so my tenure as a ZH’er is over. Time to never go back except to look over a few articles and more on. Like I do with so many sites nowadays…

$25 a month at a year long subscription to act the fool….$30 per month. One at a time. $300 a year to one year at a time. Yippy! No way!

ZH has become its own Orwellian site and does not need your money. They have been bought and paid for long ago by the higher ups…

If you are awake?

You will see that WtR was censored by Facebook years ago. Twitter censored WtR at the same time. Google has censored WtR for several years now and squelches articles that get through, the ones that tell too much truth…

Update: And now Zero Hedge censors WtR and yours truly…

For years, since WtR had obtained an unbelievable readership at one time, it has been under constant barrages of attacks. Yet, even as you read this, the ones (websites) that have some money backing them are now showing the signs of the collective censorship that has been part of my life on WtR since almost day one…

Therefore, I am happy with my two thousand average first page tracking views, That is one view counted per reader per day. Not how many page views total, but how many different people a day come. They can look at a thousand articles, it is still one hit in my eyes. I am happy with two thousand average a day. The issue is that if I get more than that, I start having to fight tooth and nail to keep it online…

Fudge Muffins!

Forget the comments…

PS: Besides the page loads much faster and “Google” likes that better!

MOSCOW, December 15. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a telegram to Joe Biden to congratulate him for the US presidential election victory, the Kremlin reported Tuesday. “Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a congratulatory telegram to Joe Biden on the occasion of his US presidential election victory,” the statement reads.

Flabbergasted amazing in my eyes!

How does using people such as Hillary and Bill Clinton as ‘Electors’ for the final voting per say, doing anything for we the people of the USA?

I did not know! Did you? Did anyone care? I care! Too late! They were given the job back in October as I understand. Who gives the electors the right to vote? Those that designate and or give the orders about who the electors are….are who are in true power in the USA…

Talk about fingers in all the pies! Just a few, pull all the strings…

I sat in stunned silence as I watched these two walk to the box and drop in their vote…

The USA is one extremely corrupt country!

WtR

Suck it up crying people: Biden is President of the USA!

I said it also about Obama, Bush, Trump and more….suck it up and shut up the whining!

I personally don’t believe the election was stolen by anyone, but honestly, I do believe it is all rigged. I do believe that it was all a very expensive show of betrayal, as in a middle finger to the world as a whole, much less the American people. I do believe that Trump as with Biden, are all just actors on a stage. I do believe that it has all gone as basically planned. I do believe ‘we the people’ are manipulated on purpose and I do believe that there is so much dissemination of information, i.e., facts, arguments, rumors, half-truths, or lies—to influence all of us peons out & about there among the worlds countries, that it’s becoming/became hard to figure out who/whom is telling the truth, and that’s really sad, it ultimately hurts everyone as a whole. I do believe that the election was manipulated and played to a script by both sides (Republicans & Democrats)…

That is very bad…

There needs to be trust in our world, not distrust!
There needs to be truth, not lies!
There needs to be facts, not manipulations!
There needs to be integrity, not underhandedness!

Stolen Election?; You have to have legitimacy in an election process first, to have even stolen it. The election process in the USA was stolen long ago, way before we all were a twinkle in our mother’s eyes…

When you have fallen off a cliff, it is hard to go back and the ground comes fast and hard!

Stolen Election in the USA? You cannot steal what never was!

The Electoral College determines U.S. presidential elections, not the national popular vote, although Biden leads there, too, by more than 7 million votes. The electors are drawn from all 50 states and the national capital city of Washington, with the biggest states holding the most sway and mirroring their representation in Congress.

But, it will not end there….and that is a crying shame!

Just Listen!

When will the crying end?

PS: Long Popcorn…

Russia talks to Iran? Sorry more sanctions…

China talks to Iran? Sorry more sanctions…

Iran blinks as it wakes up in the morning? Sorry more sanctions…

~~ The USA as it is saddened by using sanctions: “Sorry but you are all forcing us to put sanctions on you! You know this hurts us worse than you? But someone got to discipline you evil guys.” ~~

Why the US is so far in left field anymore that we have sanctioned Russia for human rights issues in Chechnya over supposed LGBT violations. Remember this is a pure Muslim area of Russia. Not the GUM Mall Gay Paree of Moscow…

The western agenda has been shoved down everyone’s throats so far that it is starting to come out peoples asses as they speak from both sides with their orifices…

~~ LGBT in Gay Paree Chechnya. ~~

I guess that if you want to sanction? Any excuse that you make up is a good sanction excuse!

Why lie USA?

Just sanction and tell the world, “We hate them and despise them and are scared of them and we think you are ugly and will sanction you. Because we don’t like your face!”

USA has become a stupid ass country of blathering idiots…

Almost six hours we walked…

Started off misty/foggy at -12 degrees and that created a beautiful world of hoar frost. Sveta was amazed at the frost and that made me wonder at how often does Russia get frost like this! Much the less, how is it “misty” and or “foggy” at -12 degrees?

I found it occasionally in the Tiny Russian Village, yet yesterday, we had kilometers of hoar frost and as the sun came up, it vaporized and vanished…

Just at eye level and below…

-12 and we found the lake buzzing with Russians…

Ice fishing, skating, skiing and walking like we did. We also stopped and had lunch. I had made two thermoses, one with coffee and one with tea and two wraps for me and two buterbrod for Svetochka. We also had a treat to eat…

The ice was two feet thick at least and guys were drilling holes everywhere and fishing. It was great and as we finally started home, the Russians really woke up and I would say that the lake became full of monkeys by the time we got home…

So this morning I have sore feet, for we walked 17 kilometers total and for some reason, I am not as young as I use to be! 😉

WtR

We finally found the issue!

I dunno?

Something within our WiFi router was burned out and WtR, plus a few more sites were inaccessible to us. Our IP is still like Dunno! I am still like Dunno! and I simply tossed the router out the window and am using a WiFi card that I installed within the desktop years ago. Just turned the Ethernet into WiFi via the desktop. Looks like burned out sectors of the router. Could not even reset the thing, even a hard reset did not even erase anything. It was stuck in one mode…

Now to solve how to get WiFi all over the home again, like it was before. WiFi extender will work? Maybe repeater?

Dunno…
