It does not matter to me that you wanna hate Russia and Putin….what he says is how I feel about life as we watch it unfold in the world and that is what counts to me. The world needs more Russia and more Putin…
Putin at 2021 Valdai Discussion Club was in fine form and talks the talk as he walks the walk…
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s appearance at the 2021 Valdai Discussion Club rivaled his famous annual press conferences, clocking in at over 3 hours. Here are some of the topics that he touched upon.Putin spoke at length at the plenary session of the Valdai Club in Sochi on Thursday, taking questions from the moderator as well as the audience, both those physically present and over video link.
Putin said, “The discussion about the rights of men and women has turned into a total phantasmagoria in a number of Western countries,” and “Those who risk saying that men and women still exist, and that this is a biological fact, are virtually ostracized.”

I say, “Not just a crime against humanity, but a disgusting social engineering ideology as well…”

SOCHI, October 21. /TASS/. The existing model of capitalism has reached its limits, said Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Everyone says that the existing model of capitalism, which the basis of social structure in the overwhelming majority of countries, has run its course,” the head of state said, speaking on Thursday at a meeting of the Valdai International Club.According to him, this model can no longer offer a way out of the “snarl of increasingly tangled contradictions.” “Everywhere, even in the richest countries and regions, the uneven distribution of material wealth leads to aggravating inequality,” the head of state added.
The Duchess of Sussex has made her most overtly political intervention yet, sending an open letter to two senior US figures on proposed parental and sick leave legislation….It was written on the Sussexes new post-royal letterhead, which prominently uses their titles but not their official cyphers.
In order to prevent further spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and to protect public health, the President has announced that October 30 to November 7, 2021, inclusive, will be paid non-working days. Corresponding recommendations were given to highest officials in the Russian Federation regions. The Russian Federation Government was instructed to determine working arrangements for federal cultural institutions and healthcare facilities during the non-working days introduced by the Executive Order. The Russian Federation Government and highest regional officials were instructed to allocate, from respective budgets, financial support for small and medium-sized businesses as well as socially oriented non-profit organisations which are part of the Russian economy and that are most affected by the worsening COVID-19 outbreak and the non-working days in October and November 2021.
NATO bombarded the Great Man-Made River in July 2011, obliterating a key to the regular citizen, a life blood foundation: an atrocity and most definitely a war crime in anyone’s book….but we all watched and picked our nose as we contemplated other things…
The United Nations “Human Development Index” as I was reading it, gives an outlined proportion of well being, schooling and pay for Libya. In 2010, Libya was positioned number one in Africa, and 53rd out of 189 nations and domains. Today, its positioning has sunk from 53rd to 105th around the world.
After the NATO-sponsored “unrest”, Libya has none of these pleasant things in life any longer. There are consistent forced cuts in human needed basics of life. The medical care framework has imploded. There is no framework for the people anymore. The way of life has plunged, and following 10 years since NATO crimes, Libya doesn’t have a working formalized government.
In March this year, an administration of public solidarity was framed, after a truce handled in October 2020. While it has to a great extent held as of recently, and races in politics are booked haphazardly for this December….infighting endures, and regardless of whether anything happens to this interaction stays decidedly and dangerously, not yet clear.
Rather than a plenitude of water, gold and oil in a flourishing country with an extraordinary framework, Libya presently has open slave-exchange markets being catered to by the West. Bootleggers and human dealers exploit transients and outcasts going through to Europe, auctioning them off into subjugation. Adversary clans and political groups battle about oil and other commodities which are very scarce, none really settled and or capable to hold onto power for themselves. In the interim, pockets of Islamic State (IS, once in the past ISIS), Al-Qaeda and other jihadist contenders prowl in the shadows, tormenting the conflict torn nation and its neighbors – bunches of scum who wouldn’t have tried to build up a presence in Qaddafi’s Libya…
Such a prosperous country before NATO, but since Qaddafi’s fall, it has been taken over by fear mongers, entrepreneurs and hoodlums, and has dove headfirst into mayhem. Many western scum has exploited the situation in Libya. This is the thing that has happened to Libya these most recent 10 years. This is the thing that NATO made and proud to say they did it…
Something else not referenced in our quest to cover up how badly we messed up Libya: Qaddafi, while transparently the pioneer of Libya’s rise, however was “not the president”. He presented an arrangement of direct majority rule government to the nation, and did as such at neighborhood levels. He made 15,000 collectives whereby local people would decide on issues applicable to them, just as on the ordinary political undertakings. This was done, because Libya is a hotbed of tribes…
The West will, has and did attempt to spread this and say that individuals were not deciding on heads of government and so forth – yet what difference does it make? Do American, Canadians, Britons, Netherlanders, Danes, Swedes and Spaniards and literally every country in the world….vote in favor of their governments?
Qaddafi held the framework set up, and the nearby individuals had true independence on issues where residents of Western “majority rules systems” don’t and will not even talk to the people within the system about letting them decide their future…
The independence that was prevalent in Libya was also Qaddafi’s undoing, so many power hungry independent leaders, with no ability to foresee the future, are easy targets for the West to capitalize upon…
The West murdered Libya and all the while the East sat back and watched…
No one’s hands are clean on Libya and all the propaganda that you expel from forked faced tongues will never put Libya back together again, for a very very long time…
But….it did set the stage, the changes in feelings, the realization of reality, that when Syria was under the same gun as Libya was destroyed by, Russia stepped in, instead of watching and looking around like fools…
~~ Damn coffee shop is closed this morning in the Tiny Russian Village. Guess I will have to make my own? Don’t you hate it when that happens? ~~
Sammy the Volga made it home and she purrs like a kitten as she idles happily and really jumps when you push the gas pedal down. It is a nice thing when your car is happy. I knew that with the new (used) engine we put in years ago, that with older used engine comes future work and sensors are a thing that seem to go out in sets. Lucky that Sammy is an old car and does not have a sensor to check on everything. Six had to be replaced and there are six only to replace it seems in the first place. Age wears us all out…
Spent 10,000 rubles on her and it was well worth it. Just in time to go get Svetochka and enjoy a week in the Tiny Russian Village with her…
I am going to the Big Village and fill the car up with Benzine, grab two cans of white spray paint, a very long drill bit (to go through a wall) and some electrical supplies. Today I am going to do some electrical work in the village home and need to get my ducks in order. Gonna add a second breaker box to a separate extension of the home and then that will solve any power supply issues I have, as I have a need come up. Trying to drag a extra long extension around the house from one side to the other is a pain and I am always up to no good and working on something in the corner of the yard, that needs electricity. All summer I fought this issue and will fix it today. Going to be freezing cold all day, so working inside is a good thing…
I hope for Saturday to have my SweetPea with me in TRV…
~~ Darn Starbucks in our Tiny Russian Village is closed this morning! That is just a sad state of affairs and typical third world problems. What to do? ~~
The end of October and my SweetPea shows up (lets hope nothing else comes up to stop this) to get back home with me. It has been a very bad year for loss of friends, coworkers and family to the Covid-19. Life is definitely changed by King Covid and will never go back to the same as it was. A friend Sveta knows through work for many years, whom she worked with through her job has died of Covid-19. He was the Engineer of Services for IBM, a very intricate part of the server software, maintenance and whatnot issues for IBM in Russia…
This just puts a whole new level of pressure upon Svetochka….this mans replacement will be hard to find (if IBM can even find such a replacement this day and age) and Sveta has to take upon herself even more of a load with the lack of experienced long term IBM Engineers to fall back on during issues with the IBM servers. It has created a paradox….for Sveta should be retired now and that will not happen for a long while. There is no one at one of the largest banks in the world whom can do what Svetochka does and to find someone for the ancient IBM system is nigh impossible. Switching to a newer system takes a bunch of time, money and infrastructure changes…
The King takes another and another and another….he is a Bad King!
So soon, I will be back in Moscow, Russia and let the Tiny Russian Village have a break from my escapades…
Things are adding up to me:
The services through big companies from the West as the West is crumbling, are drying up and blowing away in the wind to the rest of the world. It is interesting to watch….for so many companies cannot even service their own countries now, much less keep the pretense of service of their goods in other countries…
This is a good and bad thing:
It allows new fresh faces to rise to the challenge, yet it always leaves a vacuum to fill for a time frame unknown. Thus, while we watch the thrashing of the Dying Western USA Empire….China, Russia and more are taking and developing their own survival steps to ensure their advancement in the future. yet it is a rough process for all involved…
Too many eggs in one basket and the basket is getting worn out and unraveling at the seams…
Just spent a half hour telling Foxy Fox who is boss:
A Foxy Fox disturbed the neighbors doggy. He is a good dog and deserves better than who he has as owners, but that is regressing….so since Big Dog as I call him was upset and I know his four types of barking very well, I went to see what was up. We had a Foxy Fox snooping in the village and Foxy Foxes are never wanted around a village, much less inside the village as this one was…
So, I pinpointed him with the flashlight and it is interesting to see that the dogs eyes glow green and a foxes eyes glowed white instead of the normal reddish glow in a flashlight beam. The dog had much better night vision than the fox did at this meeting…
I grabbed my stick and took a walk down the hill. I moved slowly and steadily and the dog was thankful to have someone who cared. This is serious business for a doggy, you know….Foxy Fox was obviously concentrating upon the doggy and did not realize that at 3 a.m. a human was sneaking about also….the moon is almost full and I got very close to the fox and could see him well. I hit the flashlight and he was just turning around to focus upon who was behind him and the reaction was priceless. I thought he was going to have a heart attack. I am telling you that a Foxy Fox can cover ground faster than a speeding bullet…
When he had gone about two hundred meters, he slouched in the tall grass and kept looking at me with those glowing white eyes. It is interesting to watch as they blink, it is like a small flashlight beam turning off and on. He is still out there and the dog gets upset off and on, but it is all good…
I find it interesting that people with dogs have no reaction to and understand that dogs have a language and if you take the time to know the barks, you know when something is wrong and or not wrong. But the neighbors….wouldn’t know if someone was in their yard or not. Even as the chained up doggy barked his warnings to tell his family that all is not good…
But I went and helped him to defend the Tiny Russian Village…
-4 C outside and it feels like it. Sipping coffee and warming backup right now. Cannot get a good image, but the color is evident and the moon is orange…
A Harvest Moon as we called it back in my days!
Poor Doggy, barking at the Harvest Moon, oops, I mean the foxy fox. I am glad that I could keep him company…
If he was my doggy?
Him and I would have gone fox hunting together and chased the fox around the village. As it is, we did okay together….but what good is a dog that is chained up?
Oh well, still a fun morning…
So damn fat 340 pounds…
210 pounds and still too fat…
Removed the fat slowly and carefully. I need to lose another 5 kilos (sorta 10 pounds) to get in safe weight zone, 195 pounds would be good…
I think I am done for today?
Yes I am and have a nice day…

Update: The Foxy Fox got into where the neighbors have Turkeys and got himself an early Thanksgiving dinner, Now you see that having a dog chained and not listening to him talking to you as he warns you of issues, makes no sense and it looks like they only lost one. That was because I was out at the early hours paying attention. Foxy Fox was scared away right across the road by me and that was what he was doing until I rudely interrupted him with the flashlight….Thanksgiving dinner with Turkey…
Moscow has announced that it will completely suspend the operations of its mission to NATO, two weeks after the US-led bloc expelled eight Russian diplomats for alleged ‘undisclosed espionage’ at its Brussels headquarters. Speaking on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also revealed that the NATO information bureau in Moscow will be forced to shut down as part of retaliatory measures.Earlier this month, NATO officials decided to slash the size of the permanent Russian delegation to the bloc, revoking the credentials of eight envoys, in response to what it called “suspected malign Russian activities.”
I realize that Nikolai was failing the last few years of his life. Yet he still gathered all that was needed as per material items and other supplies, to do all the projects and finish the home. Being in the mid 80’s before he died, I can see how the work changed that he performed and I have stayed true the best I can to leaving the good and bad. I straightened this and that and I replaced what he had projects in the working(s) and I understand even more about the man. The home is a tribute to Nikolai and it will stay that way as long as I live…
First picture of Nikolai’s home in 2018…
First picture after getting the place finally…and mowed enough to get in…
This morning…
Picture taken a few weeks ago…
I have literally used everything in materials that he had stored and it took everything to bring the home back to its original glory. Yes it is just a Tiny Russian Village Home, yet, he rebuilt the core of the home after his sister died and it was in very bad shape. I wish I had images of that era!
I have tried my best to make a real home of the place and not a place that is stayed at a few months at a time…
One of the last things to do is to build a brick wood stove inside and I will next year, if God allows and willing, I will myself build a wood stove from scratch. I have made my mind up and if Svetochka is for it, I have been planning and drawing the designs to install the heat source. Nikolai had removed the original gigantic wood stoves so typical of Russian homes in the villages. I will not go back to such a wood stove, but I will be creative and blend modern stovepipe work with a small brick oven stove…
The hate I got was violent in nature and the comments could not be posted over the article below that I wrote. People degrading Russia and acting all high and mighty from the USA…
Then something like this happens in full public view and no one, but no one did anything. So look in the mirror and look inside yourself and stop pointing fingers and get your house in order…
Woman Raped on train in USA: While Others Stood Around And “Did Nothing”, – CBS Philly:
Investigators say the sexual attack happened while others were standing around on the train and “did nothing.”“Were they watching? I don’t know. Again, we’re still going through the video but there was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should’ve intervened. Somebody should’ve done something. It speaks to where we are in society. Who would allow something like that to take place? So it’s troubling but again, we’re working on that and we’re trying to identify anyone that we saw coming on and off the El at that time,” Upper Darby Police Superintendent Tim Bernhardt said.
If you asked Svetochka what would Kyle do in this case?
She could tell you in all honesty and she has seen personally how I would react to a woman being beaten…
The woman who is being attacked is a human being. It could be your mother, Grandma, sister or wife. People need to help and look out for each other, especially in these times of unrest, incivility, and hate! We must protect each other…
In my eyes: They’re are all the same as he is..

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt said that while there were other people on the train, it was ultimately a SEPTA employee who made the call to 911, which allowed officers to arrest Ngoy on the spot. ‘It’s disturbing that there were definitely people on the L, and no one intervened or did anything to help this woman out,’ Bernhardt told NBC 10.’I have no words for it. I just can’t imagine seeing what you were seeing through your own eyes and seeing what this woman was going through that no one would step in and help her.’
