Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act should be relabeled as Countering America’s Competitors Through Sanctions Act.

Thank God for my Sweet Pea and Russia.
What the west flouts is not real Capitalism. It is some sort of capitalist-like klepto-zombie system. But Capitalism it is not….But people with nothing, believe it is Capitalism, and they are fed up, because the system does not meet what they have been told it is about & what they expect the system to be and do…
Compared to what the situation in the so called Capitalistic West is looking like, you have to admit that Socialism/Marxism looks better and better, to the uninformed and the uninformed is the normality of most societies….that uninformed information about Capitalism is what has come to bite everyone’s asses….now the masses are looking to supplement the lies for more lies. Search for the Holy-Grail…
But then, so does a pig wearing lipstick, which gives the impression that the pig is better looking in societies around the world…
Truth is always better to be told in the first place and then you never have to try to corral all the lies that have spread and festered over the years…
Or maybe what we have lived with all these years is real Capitalism (klepto-zombie style) and you were just sold a line of lies and myths about Capitalism from the beginning?
Being honest is the first step in avoiding some of the many traps that have been set…
This, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why support for Socialism is growing….it does not mean that one system is better than the other. It just means that people are looking for answers in a very sick world and they wants to just live their lives in peace…
The problem is that with all the lies, no one knows which way to turn. Even the ones playing the games of divide and conquer…
Why tell the world about anything Russia “did”?
Why would the NSA and GCHQ tell the world what Russia is doing?
Everyday we seem to be looking at another no facts, no truth and lots of we assume strongly that Russia tried to….do this and do that!
Why tell the media what Russia is doing? Why? If true; The NSA and GCHQ will simply see Russia stop and change its methods of data collection. That is what the NSA and GCHQ would not want. For if they know that someone is being hacked, then they are able to hack back and it is all done silently. No screaming and no whining about the fact. But it all has to be true in the first place and no government wants light to be shown upon all the “real” stealing of data being done constantly all over the world…
Are humans that gullible? Do we always respond like a bluegill finding a worm on a hook?
Why tell the world about anything Russia “did”?
No nations security service publishes methods. That tends to tell the other side about these methods. Therefore, then these methods are easily skirted around. No truth in the accusation is why they are posted as confetti for the masses…
Another Russia “did” something story…
Real spy methods get approved for publication after 40-60 years and severely redacted…
Why tell the world about anything Russia “did”?
Because, the ones accusing are using fake info to cover up their sins…

Phase two of trials for a Russian-made coronavirus vaccine will end on August 3, to be immediately followed by a third, international phase. If successful, it could be the first effective Covid-19 solution to be mass-produced.The vaccine, which has been developed by Moscow’s Gamalei Institute of Epidemiology in conjunction with the Ministry of Defense, will soon begin clinical trials abroad.“The third phase will not only take place in Russia, but also in a number of other countries,” Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), told reporters during an online press conference. “We expect to receive regulatory approval to start using the Russian vaccine in August-September.”
Today the @NCSC and partners in 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦, have revealed that Russian intelligence service cyber units have been behind a serious of irresponsible & unacceptable attacks collecting information on vaccine research. https://t.co/2GNXuqualx 1/3 pic.twitter.com/EMfKmHxCtV

Oh My; The milk has curdled in someone’s afternoon tea. Bring in the usual suspects!
China is engaged “in an economic blitzkrieg, an aggressive, orchestrated, whole-of-government – indeed, whole-of-society – campaign to seize the commanding heights of the global economy and to surpass the US as the world’s preeminent technological superpower,” Barr said on Thursday in a speech at the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum in Michigan.
I think that the regime in the US & UK have gone completely delusional. They can’t accept that they are/have become a failing power in the world and are doing everything to regain their status. The world has moved on but they are still stuck in the 1960’s…
The US/UK just doesn’t get that they are on the downhill run as the World Super Power… China is miles ahead in technology and also economically. Eurasia will be the center of everything, and maybe then there will be peace.
Both Russia and China are playing the long game. It’s like in boxing when the more capable and stronger opponent gets the weaker one to dance around and wear himself out. Fascinating to watch…

Had to restock on some basic foods and gather some home supplies. The Big Village was busy and I was glad to get home. I stopped and checked out several fields as I drove home and even tried to find the end of some fields. The road got too bad and I had to turn around after 3 km, yet the fields kept going and going…
I just think sunflowers are so beautiful!
The opposite side of the main road I use has wheat fields forever this year. Going to be a bumper crop year for grains and such…
Well, it is time to get busy….up at 3 a.m.; I already worked on the potatoes, washed clothes, washed dishes, hauled water and cleaned the kitchen area. Now it is time to get to work…

PS: Babushkas are damn tough in Russia. They seem to be another breed of woman, my grandma was like this. I think that coming from depression times like my grandma was and from a life that has more hardship, like this Babushka….they do not ever, ever, ever act helpless and ask for help. The Big Village is full of Babushka like this lady…
We need to all get like this and stop whining about molehills & climb the mountains that get in our way…
I would say this sums it up pretty good…
The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project has long faced criticism from the United States, as the Trump administration threatened to pressure companies involved in its manufacture with sanctions. Warnings from the White House, however, have been considered by German business as interference into EU energy sovereignty.The European Union opposes “the use of sanctions by third countries on European companies carrying out legitimate business”, Vice-President of the European Commission Josep Borrell said in a statement, referring to the practice of the Trump administration in threatening or using sanctions to target “Iran, Cuba, the International Criminal Court and most recently the Nordstream 2 and Turkstream projects.” “Moreover, it considers the extraterritorial application of sanctions to be contrary to international law. European policies should be determined here in Europe not by third countries”, the statement said.Borrell expressed his concerns over the “growing use of sanctions, or threat of sanctions” by the Trump administration toward European “companies and interests”, particularly referring to the Nord Stream 2 project, that envisages a pipeline carrying Russian natural gas to Europe.Recently, officials in the Trump administration announced plans to put companies working on Nord Stream 2 on a list of projects to be sanctioned by the US.Borrell stressed the importance of “coordination of targeted sanctions with partners” in the areas where “common foreign and security policy goals are shared”. “We have seen many positive examples of this and will continue to coordinate where we can. Where policy differences exist, the European Union is always open to dialogue. But this cannot take place against the threat of sanctions”, he said. The growing use of sanctions, or the threat of sanctions, by the US against European companies and interests is a worrying trend. The EU opposes the use of sanctions by third countries on European companies carrying out legitimate business https://t.co/yZrMfSFsK4 — Josep Borrell Fontelles (@JosepBorrellF) July 17, 2020

Unmistakably the nonstop demonetization of Russia, China and intermingling Iran, in the western news demonstrates that we’re setting out toward WW3. Veritably this is the thing that the West does while setting up its local populaces/serfs/peasants (What ever you want to call us and or them!) for an assault on an envisioned imaginary enemy…
We (populaces/serfs/peasants) are complacent with this as in the facts of unabashed rhetoric daily from the ones in charge in the USA…
Look at the words and deeds being spewed daily from the USA…
Just look with an open mind at the constant barrage of disinformation that is happening as you search about China, Russia and Iran. There is many more countries under the gun, but mainly these three are grouped together in an endless loop of lies against them and it regularly cycles like clockwork, on a schedule that never ends…
We float endlessly from evil Huawei from China, Evil pipelines from Russia, Evil demons from Iran. It is like someone with a brain of a child has been for the past hundred years in control of the game pad controls and they have finally reached a point of such frustration, that they are going insane…
Everyday the USA simply shows that it is dying by its jittery unabashed rhetoric; China diabolical, Russia fiendish, Iran satanic, North Korea is substandard, Cuba wicked, Venezuela evil and we can add in smatterings mixed among the main three, how real history is bad, whites are dreadful, statues are useless, Germany incompetent….in truth, unless you are the USA everything and everyone in the rest of the world is simply abysmal…
Yet the USA is the one showing the cracks of true disparage and internally she is unstable, not to even mention externally totally psychotic…
Physical War most likely wont occur until after the USA’s Presidential Election and if the losing individuals and supporters don’t acknowledge the outcome, singular blue states (if Trump wins) and individual red states (if Biden wins) may select to withdraw from the Union and or attempt to…
At the point when we see states requesting of to withdraw, we ought to likewise anticipate another American Civil War (the original wasn’t about slavery, yet rather about individual state’s privileges to withdraw) trying to forestall the disintegration of the USA…
So as to attempt to forestall a Civil War, and it might very much happen, that the US elites will announce war on different nations so as to revitalize Americans around the banner we call a flag…
Given how febrile the American electorate is presently, this last methodology of the elites will end up being useless…
Transforming a negative into a positive:
I can’t help suspecting that the USA needs to experience this procedure of death, recovery and resurrection so as to turn into a less materialistic and a progressively profound society…
Furthermore, ideally at that point, the remainder of the nations of the surviving world can decide their own models of monetary turn of events and their own frameworks of government and live in harmony….without the self-proclaimed god (US) to twist their souls inside out…
So be it…

Now still have to paint…
Took a bit for me to figure out the best way to pull it all together, but it still got done…
Got up at 2 a.m. and hauled water to water everything and then before the demon horseflies woke up, I decided to stop being lazy and work…
I carried over from mom’s home some more wood and ad lib it and acted like I knew what I was doing and cut, hammered and banged a porch wall together…
I think sweet pea will be happy that I did this and I have just enough orange paint to finish the porch…

Israel should cease portraying itself as a victim, as it has increasingly taken on the role of the perpetrator. The responsibility for Israel’s actions no longer lies with the world; rather, Israel must take it upon itself to live and act with accountability…

I moved a huge pile of bricks and decided to do a bit of creation…
We now have a place to BBQ fish and eat a nice meal. I can’t wait for Sweet Pea to finally be able to come to the Tiny Russian Village…
Still working the sand between bricks and then will water it down. Then re-sand it and pack it better. The horseflies are eating me alive….those bright green eyes they have here are just scary at times. “I want to suck your blood!” said the (female only, of course) horsefly…
I have pulled the garlic and it is drying to be able to be stored. The onions are next in about a week….the carrots and beets are still a bit off. Bad spot for them, but they are doing their thing…
The potatoes have amazed me and I keep mounding dirt and tying them up. But….it looks to me that I have about reached the end of what I can do! Meter tall and most are approaching a spread of a meter. They are bushes if I let them flop and I would never get down a row. New potato bloom color and I like it. That is the forth color of bloom that I see in the patch…
It will be sad as I see signs that the life span is ending for the potatoes. Kinda like my babies so to say….everyday I look for the ground cracking and try to keep the potatoes from showing out of the ground. It has been a job….next year, will do a different way to grow them and only have to have half the plants for same yield…
Lost two plants. One died early on and another just could never get around big brother next to it. Big brother is an animal and little brother just is shaded too much. It happens….so 58 good healthy and productive plants are all that is left out of the original 60 planted…
I hope sweet Pea’s family is ready to eat a bunch of potatoes this winter…
Next year….we will grow sweet potatoes in mom’s yard. I have the perfect spot and I know we can do it…

PS: Can’t wait to grill a huge carp for Sweet Pea when she comes…
