Nadir Mir: Retired Brigadier of the Pakistan Army talks Iran…


Nadir Mir has some very good articles that he writes himself. I discovered his blog by accident while looking at information about Pakistan. He knows what he is talking about and take it how you want, his ideas are worth listening to…

Geopolitics of Peace: Nadir Mir
Author of the book “Gwadar on the Global Chessboard”
Blog: Pakistan and Geopolitics
The author is a retired Brigadier of the Pakistan Army.

Next War – Iran:

The Geopolitics of the times may indicate that the next war is Iran. Although Pakistan being an established nuclear power would logically be higher on the scales of denuking agenda for so called globalists. Still Geopolitical logic dictates otherwise.

In Iran’s case, the American agenda is to prevent it from going nuclear. (Something which Pakistan achieved over quarter of a century ago – Enriched Uranium) The recent IAEA accusative report, Israel’s brinkmanship (you do it or we do it), American election fervor (attacking Iran is an election issue for 2012, at least for Mitt Romney Republican Presidential candidate), conservative Arab animosity for Revolutionary Iran (in future nuclear armed), Iran’s energy linkage to Russia – China, Iran’s defiance of USA plus western world, and finally the fear or perception of Tehran crossing the nuclear Rubicon combine for ‘Strike on Iran’.

The most likely version is an air and missile strikes or campaign (depending how the war progresses). Still a limited invasion cannot be ruled out (US has freed most of its forces from Iraq for the purpose).

PM Benjamin Netanyahu, National security advisor Uzi Arad and Defence Minister Ehud Barak plus numerous Israeli leaders of late are cajoling for a strike on Iran. American friends have joined the Iran demonetization campaign. For nearly a decade, this crying wolf – Iran going nuclear – or need to strike has been going on. This time it looks for real. The problem is both Israel and Iran are supremely confident and itching to fight.

In one scenario, Israeli air force (100 F15E, F16IS, F16cs), plus land based missiles (jhericos) and two Dolphin submarines (firing cruise missiles) off Iran’s coast initiate the first blow. This may be a one – two blow i.e., missile strikes preceding or following the air strikes. Destroying as much as possible of Iranian nuclear projects (Natanz, Esfahan, Busher etc) with bombs and missiles. Tehran’s retaliation with missiles plus Hezbollah, Hamas rockets are absorbed by Israel. Threatening to up the ante (Nuke Iran) Tel Aviv (evoking paranoia of a Second Holocaust) drags USA into the war, to use its larger military muscle. The Iranians fight back (Iran will respond with full force has already been said by Ayatollah Ali Khameni). Though the high intensity war may fizzle out in weeks or months, a low intensity war may continue for years. The Arab – Islamic world would be inflamed, the western world divided. War drags on – at least the asymmetrical part is protracted.
‘The Point of No Return’ an article by the Atlantic makes clear the high probability of war with Iran. The Israelis are evasive on even if they would inform Washington about such a strike. An Israeli strike appears imminent now or in spring 2012 (winter is not considered ideal for such operations).

In fact the initial strategic moves have been initiated on the Middle East Geopolitical Chessboard. NATO is planning to intervene to achieve regime change in Syria. This is aimed at depriving Iran of its chief ally Syria and somewhat suffocating the Geopolitical space available to Hezbollah and Hamas. After Syria and Iran’s (claimed by US / NATO) isolation, the stage will be set for war on Iran initiated by Israel, US or jointly. Tehran’s revolutionary fervor which engulfed the British Embassy and reports of Libyan (NATO trained) fighters being shipped to fight against the Damascus Regime and a lot more are indicators of the gathering Great Storm.

Despite an election year if USA strikes Iran, it would obviously be a heavier punch than Israel. More so, it may not be limited to Iran’s nuclear establishment, but also aim at the Revolutionary Guards, military industrial – economic complex, ports, and communication infrastructure. In essence ‘Cave Age or Scorched Earth’. According to David Rothkopf (author of Super Class), it would be folly to assume President Obama cannot strike Iran due to an election year. By the same token, many Americans and Europeans are against an attack on Iran.

The British are unsure, the French hesitant, Germans Anti aggression, the Russians (Putin led) against an attack, the Chinese peace loving, even India and Pakistan may have similar views – (no attack on Iran). The world yearns for peace, but the Israeli leaders are preparing (even if the Israeli nation is divided on the issue). Good Americans want jobs at home not conflict abroad – but the war lobby wants war.

Attack on Iran plans have been on hold since President Bush era. Now in 2012, US Presidential campaign ‘most Republican Candidates’ except Ron Paul are for ‘bombing Iran’.

Interestingly America’s ex defenders Mr. Robert Gates, Admiral Mike Mullen, General Zinni etc have serious reservations on the ‘Persian Misadventure’. Even the present Defense Secretary Panetta (despite the euphoria of the Bin Laden killing)’warned of unintended consequences!

Even more ironically the Israeli nation is divided by half on the subject. (After all the expected Iranian riposte of missiles, rockets and asymmetrical attacks is going to first of all target Israel). As a smart Israeli went to the extent of saying that if America was so worried about a ‘Second Holocaust’ it might fight Iran itself (without Israeli involvement). The Israeli Defense Forces even while confident are apprehensive and rightly so!

Still wise people in Europe, America and elsewhere are asking pertinent questions. A single Israeli Air strike will not be sufficient to totally destroy the Iranian nuclear projects, (delay it by 2 to 3 years), what next? If the US does not bomb Iran, what is the war termination strategy? Will it become a regional war by design or default? Will it escalate to nuclear realm?
What will be the impact on the Arab spring and Middle East? (Probably go hyper Anti Israel – Anti American!)

The reality is, there are no good answers. What if radioactivity due to Israel – US bombing reaches Nuclear Armed Pakistan and India? (Of course the Pakistani elite have no time for such issues. They are uninitiated into Pakistani Geopolitical issues, what to ponder about Iran?)

Unfortunately the fact is that an attack on Iran will adversely affect Pakistan in many ways. Pakistan will be surrounded by hostile India, unstable Afghanistan and warring Iran. Radioactivity leaks due to bombing may reach Pakistan! (Even handling Dengue Mosquitoes has been an uphill task). Inflame Shias, bring Iranian refugees, disrupt gas, oil import and bring Pakistan closer to the denuking agenda!

Reportedly the Russian PM Putin when recently briefed on emerging Geopolitics and probability of war told his generals, ‘Prepare for Armageddon’!
Putin – a great visionary leader is absolutely right. US – NATO attack on Iran would unleash ‘the hounds of hell’ not only for the victim state but the region around, the world at large and the attackers themselves!

The only viable solution in Global interest is ‘Geopolitics of Peace’. A comprehensive peace settlement from Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf to include Israel – Palestine, Israel – Iran issues. Plus pull out of all foreign troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. The need for denuking wars would stand obviated. The specter of hell on earth (for everybody) exorcised!

Russia : 90+ percent of the ballots counted 2011 Duma Election…


UR

With over 62 percent of the ballots counted, Russia’s ruling United Russia party is at 50.13 percent, and its closest rival, the Communist Party (KPRF) is at 19.49 percent. A Just Russia is at 12.86 percent, and Liberal Democrats (LDPR) are at 11.93 percent…

4 parties with power this time… 🙂

Windows to Russia!

Update: After counting more than 90% of all ballots the United Russia Party has received slightly under a half of all votes, according to the latest figures by the Central Election Commission. The Communist Party received approximately 19 percent, A Just  Russia 13 percent, the Liberal Democratic Party nearly 12 percent. The remaining three parties will not be sending a representative to the parliament. The Yabloko party picked up only about 3 percent of the votes, and the Patriots of Russia and Right Cause less than one perscent. Some 1% of the ballots cast have been found invalid. The Central Elections Commission Chairman Vladimir Churov is idue to hold a major news conference at the Commisison’s press centre to elaborate on the preliminayr returns of the voting…

Update on Elections in Russia…


The CIS monitors have found no major voting irregularities in Sunday’s Duma elections in Russia. The elections were transparent and provided for the voters’ free expression of will. This came in a statement at a news conference in Moscow earlier today by the head of the CIS group of monitors Vladimir Garkun. According to him, the mission found no major breach of Russia’s Electoral Law that could affect the returns, so the monitors see the election as having met the universally recognized democratic standards. The election campaign was also held within legal environment, Garkun added. On the voting day, CIS monitors visited some 2,000 polling stations throughout Russia…

Now of course Golos said the election were a undemocratic and violations galore. Sounds about right for a piece of lowlife American sponsored NGO, actually two NGO’s…

Looks like all in all the elections went according to plan and all was very quiet except for foreign sponsored instigators that where luckily few and far between…

Preliminary Results of the Duma Elections 2011…


Cool butter beans! It is what I have been saying and I am glad that we did not see a squelch of the communist and other party votes this time. I have been talking about a two party system developing in Russia and that I think it is a shame when it will end up just like the two party, but only really a one party system in America…

The talk is now of joining of forces by several of the party groups and I guess we will have to wait and see how that turns out. It will be interesting for this outsider to watch what happens to the political parties. Seems that to me this is just the preplanned way Putin wants it to be? Russia is going to have to alter the political scene…

So according to a poll by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM), the Communist Party (KPRF) is second with almost 20 % of the votes, followed by Fair Russia with over 13 %, and the LDPR with over 12 %. This is an exit pole and with about 40% of the vote in at a 60% voter turnout…

So as the Western press is declaring martial law in Russia and the collapse of the reign of Putin! I am here to tell you that this is a planned alteration of the political system in Russia. I have watched for months now a carefully orchestrated, organized and systematic process being played out to alter the political schematics of the Kremlin political system…

Putin says it all in this quote: “Despite the difficult enough period, despite the crisis, despite the fact that the leading political force bears the responsibility for this difficult period, for the misses, for the failures, despite these difficulties the people, the voters, have maintained it as the leading political force,” Putin said, adding that this was “the optimal result, which really reflects the situation in the country.”

I knew the communist party would come on strong and said so in several earlier posts. I just knew to many people voting for communist this time and that was definitely different than the last election…

Last time the communist party had around 11% of the vote and I said that they should double and Sveta made me smile when she said: “That is just right!”  My girl Sveta, is a staunch Communist and I find that interesting being that I am a born and raised Republican in America with definite independent leanings… 🙂

Life is so cool in Russia!

PS: I also told Sveta, “Do not be surprised if Putin before the end of his next term, endorses the communist party!” (Or equivalent at that time – I know sounds nuts to a Westerner and that will cause the whole Western world to have a fit and fall in it!) Lets just watch over the years and see what happens… (I will post final results tomorrow!)

Election day and NGO GOLOS and a Cup of Coffee in Russia…


I have to say that the Western press is having a cow over this election in Russia! I really believe that the Western press has gone off the deep end this time, with the lies and stories. But that is another issue and since the Western press is a total falsification of any pertinent facts and truth, then listening to the Western press is detrimental to your mental health in all aspects…

I am home alone this Sunday because Sveta has traveled to her mother so that they can go vote together. Misha Sveta’s son will meet them at grandma’s flat and they will all go vote. I know that this year as well as the last few years, they are going to vote communist…

I find that strange to hear for this past brainwashed American (me). Communist is such a dirty word in America. In fact I have seen several instances lately of politicians using the communist word…

Why just a few days ago this was all over the American news – “I helped Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp develop supply side economics. I helped lead the effort to defeat communism, in the Congress.” said Newt Gingrich to Fox News…   Read more: >>>

So it looks as if the word communist still is a vote tactic that will never die. Just as, hate evil Russia or China will never die. But until we (America) get over our idiosyncrasies and hypocrisies, then we will never become the respected country that we have disillusioned ourselves to think we are…

So while America is dreaming of their grandeur of escapades in destroying communism! I sit here drinking my morning cup of coffee and contemplate the fact that a whole bunch of people I know in Russia are going to vote for the communist party. People that I never realized who would vote for them are voting for communist. Now if I see a really small turnout of communist votes, then I maybe starting to wonder!  I realize that Putin has been working on at least a semblance of a two party system and this looks to be baring fruit. Hmmm we will have to wait and see…

I never though in my life I would be rubbing shoulders with communist and you want to know something? If it was not for the word communist being used to label them. I would swear that they are human just like you and me… 🙂

Next on my thinking’s is about an issue that is really a prime example of American interference in Russian elections…

I have a question: How would America react if there was a NGO (like Golos) violating the rules and morals of her laws and political structure?

Russia found that Golos had violated Russia’s election laws and fined the organization just under $1,000 for violations. Russia also said that Golos received funding from foreign sources for their political activities, which is point blank against Russian law, just as it is in America. This was all in conjunction with information that America was ready to instigate a color revolution in Russia soon after the elections…

Now this is very believable and most likely true but as I already know most Americans will still point the finger at Russia and say, “Bad Bad Bad Bad Russia!” If you know about this then I bet that you have already made a derogatory statement about Russia and her cheating political system. Yes I hear you right now…

Why would Russia trust any organization such as Golos that is directly funded by the USA to play games with in the borders of the Russian country. The USA would not so why should Russia? Since we all know that America is causing issues in many countries all over the world and in fact, we now have so much evidence to the positiveness of that fact, that the US hardly even tries to cover up their instigation anymore…

This is a sign that the people living in the borders of the US are so domiciled that the government is running amuck with no citizen control…

SUBJECT: NGO GOLOS PREPARES TO OBSERVE DUMA ELECTIONS

REF: MOSCOW 5338

Classified By: Ambassador William J. Burns: 1.4(d).

1. (C) Summary: The NGO Golos is preparing to observe the
Duma elections on December 2, and has begun monitoring
pre-election activities. Golos has already run into legal
trouble in one region, and while its leaders are unaware of
any other impending legal action, they remain potentially
vulnerable because of the sensitive political environment,
their rationale for observing elections, and the
organization’s legal structure. Golos is also subject to
charges that it is a tool of Western governments, because
almost 90 percent of its budget comes from USAID and because
it is increasingly identified with marginalized parties.
Nevertheless, Golos remains the only credible Russian NGO
capable of nationwide election day monitoring. End Summary.

——————————
Plans to Observe the Elections
——————————

2. (C) Russia’s electoral law allows only accredited
journalists and members of political parties to observe
elections inside polling stations. Lyudmila Alekseyeva of
Moscow Helsinki Group (MHG) noted that because of the new
law, MHG would be unable to observe elections this year as it
had done since 2000. Golos is preparing to have 3,000
monitors in polling stations around the country on election
day, and has established a toll-free telephone number for
citizens to report election law violations. Golos considers
its 3,000 observers as journalists for the quarterly
eight-page newsletter, “Citizens’ Voice.” While this claim
has not been legally tested, Shibanova is confident that
these journalist credentials would hold up in court.

3. (C) Golos Director Liliya Shibanova said that Golos’s 80
long-term observers have already noted violations of
electoral law throughout the country, and that the Golos
hotline has been receiving calls from citizens across the
country. “There are already enough violations to question
the legitimacy of the elections,” she argued, citing examples
of abuse of administrative resources, and pressure on
employees from state enterprises such as hospitals and
universities. On December 2-3, Golos will run a public
information center to send out news on the elections.

————————–
Golos is Actually Two NGOs
————————–

4. (C) Shibanova explained to us that there are two
registered NGOs named Golos: “Association Golos” and
“Regional Civic Organization Golos.” Association Golos was
established in 2000 and is the publisher-of-record for the
quarterly newsletter, “Citizens’ Voice.” Association Golos
persists as a legal entity, but ended its operations in May
2007, dismissed its staff (who were promptly hired by RCO
Golos), and has no operating funds or a budget. Association
Golos is kept legally alive because it remains the owner of
the Golos newspaper “Citizens’ Voice.” Regional Civic
Organization Golos (RCO Golos) is the funded organization
that maintains an office and staff, operates the voter
complaint hotline, coordinates the activities of the 40
regional offices, and actually prints and distributes the
newsletter.

5. (C) RCO Golos was established to improve and decentralize
its operations, as well as to escape the threat of
potentially crippling tax liabilities. Association Golos had
received grants from foreign sources such as USAID, NED, NDI,
and the Mott Foundation. In standard requests to the GOR’s
Commission on International Humanitarian and Technical
Assistance, Association Golos applied for an exemption to the
“profit tax” on foreign grants. The GOR did not respond to
these requests, and Association Golos maintained no reserve
funds to pay the taxes if the request was eventually denied.

6. (C) Golos Deputy Director Grigoriy Melkonyants explained
that Association Golos and RCO Golos have a legal agreement
for RCO Golos to print and distribute the quarterly
newsletter ostensibly written by Association Golos. Each
observer-journalist signs an agreement with Association Golos
before becoming accredited. Association Golos also has
signed a cooperative agreement with each regional branch of
RCO Golos. Melkonyants said that Golos legal advisors had
assured him that this arrangement was legally sound. Tetyana
Bogdanova, a Golos project manager, told us that Golos has
provided photo IDs and journalists credentials to each
observer, and that all electoral commissions in the 40
regions where Golos is active have been provided with color,
notarized copies of the Association-RCO agreements.

MOSCOW 00005526 002 OF 002

———————
Preparing for Trouble
———————

7. (C) Shibanova described RCO Golos’s decentralized
organization as less vulnerable to official pressure. For
example, when the activities of Golos Povolzhye in Samara
were suspended last month (reftel), no other branch of the
organization was affected. However, the entire legal
justification for the observers as journalists still rests
entirely on Association Golos, which remains vulnerable to
suspension or closure.

8. (C) In order to prevent difficulties on election day,
Shibanova said that she was seeking a meeting with Central
Elections Commissioner Churov and Russian Foundation for Free
Elections (RFFE) Executive Director Andrey Przhdomskiy.
Przhdomskiy is also the head of the Public Chamber and NGO
Coordinating Committee on elections. She will seek
assurances from both that the accredited Golos observers will
be allowed access to polling stations across the country. She
and Transparency International’s Yelena Panfilova are
planning a November 28 press conference to provide the latest
data from their long-term campaign observation efforts and
preview their plans for election day.

——————————————— —
Association with the West and Dissenting Voices
——————————————— —

9. (C) Golos is frequently associated with the West and with
dissenting voices in Russia. Golos presently receives 90
percent of its funding from USAID, and many of the regional
branches are run by former members of Yabloko, the Green
Party, or members of “Other Russia.” Golos has a voter
hotline webpage named after its toll-free telephone hotline
(www.88003333350.ru), and welcomes other organizations and
parties to put this link on their webpages. To date, only
Yabloko and SPS websites carry the link, further establishing
the perception of Golos as a voice of dissent, not
impartiality.

10. (C) In Chelyabinsk, Golos is facing competition from a
pro-government NGO “Committee of Voters” (COV) which is
critical of Golos and its affiliation with the West.
Shibanova said that there was a PR campaign against Golos
organized by the COV, and that the Chelyabinsk electoral
commission has decided to work only with the COV. Shibanova
knew of no other regions where a local pro-government
electoral observer NGO had been formed.

11. (C) On November 25 on national television, a 45-minute
documentary by Arkadiy Mamontov mixed excerpts of his
“Velvet.ru” expose of Western support for colored revolutions
with footage of the Other Russia demonstrations on Saturday
and Sunday (septel). The documentary featured a segment on
NDI training for Golos monitors, and cited USAID support of
$20 million, $4 million of which it claimed illegally went to
Russian political parties.

——-
Comment
——-

12. (C) Golos is increasingly perceived as an opponent to the
government, and more often finds itself on the side of
opposition political parties instead of being perceived as a
non-partisan watchdog. The strongest press statements on
their website are directed at the government, not at
political parties. We believe that Golos is vulnerable to
legal action aimed at its organizational structure, and the
possibility remains that Golos journalists could be
challenged on election day by a finding that its newsletter
is not a real publication, and its observers, therefore, not
real journalists. The Embassy continues to reiterate the
importance of Golos maintaining the highest commitment to
non-partisan practice and public image.
BURNS

This tells that we understand what is happening and know that Golos is undermining the political situation in Russia. But we still look the other way and when someone catches us we act offended and try to point false fingers at everyone else…

I for one am embarrassed by the actions of my country (USA), while I know every country does bad things. I will keep insisting that America has taught us different, at least in the old days, and I believe that we should try to be the most honest, moral and decent country that there is on earth. If we built our Empire by morals and decency then the Empire would last forever, but since the Empire is built on hate, no morals, deceit and lies then the fall is inevitable…

That is what I think and sticking to it…

PS: I wonder how well a Russian funded election watchdog would fair in America if they accused America for the so called truths that they found in elections? Not very well huh! That is what I thought! Like they would not be allowed there in the first place. You see the US elections are so truthful that no one needs to keep an eye out on things… 🙂

Finally – I get to Nurture my Green Thumb in Russia and Sveta is all smiles…


In the past I worked such long hours that a plant did not have a chance in my home. Well with the exception of a cactus… 🙂

I love plants and have always tried to have them, but they always died during my corporate work period because as you know a plant needs attention. They are living creatures and if you never say hi, they will leave you. I had plants and gardens when I was growing up and they always thrived. I was told I had my grandma’s green thumb…

This photo is the jungle I am growing. They all started as plants that I found thrown away. Just little almost dead withered stubs and in 5 years in Russia, I have these unbelievable huge healthy plants, that bring lots of fresh oxygen to the flat and we all know that we need oxygen to live…

I even have so many plants now that I also have a bunch in the kitchen and we are starting to get a little crowded at times…

As you can see I need to move the big world map because I no longer can look at it and dream about where to travel to next. As you can also see the table they sit on is home made and that is because money is hard to come by and you don’t waste it on just anything. If you have enough wood to make a table then make a table and be happy that you have something that works. I have built three tables now for us and the first one was rough and crude but the other two are really passable as good tables…

Sveta is a wonderful girl in aspects like tables and such! If I make it, she is so happy and she does not care what it looks like! She simply loves it! If her shoe breaks and I can fix it. She is happy even if it looks not quite up to par. Why I just fixed her cellphone after the flip cover broke and ended up having to use a brass wood screw in the hinge of the phone. She was so happy and beamed and smiled at me, that her phone was still usable. She said, I can show people that you fixed this and it makes me so proud… 🙂

Sveta, like the plants seem to thrive around me and that is something that makes Russia very extra special…

Looking out from a Russian Window: Are we worth Saving?


I wrote a humdinger of an article. I put my heart and soul into it!I looked up a hundred bits of information and I put my feelings down on paper. I had a goal and was going to tell you what is wrong with the world over that cup of coffee… (As you see I am still in that mood!)

In fact here is the first paragraph: The start of the day is always good especially when you can get your cup of coffee without any issues. It is necessary to have a good cup of coffee (or in my case chicory) to counter the lacking of keenness that comes across in the news. Now that is news both from the East and the West! The East has its stupid streak for news and it makes me laugh to read the propaganda against the West and that is what is is and not expected to be anything more. The East takes the truth and twists it to look like the new flavor of the month. Now the Western news is not even an attempt at propaganda anymore, it is just flagrant lies that do not have a inkling of the truth embedded anywhere anymore. What gets me is that people eat the lies up and want the information presented into what they want to hear. They do not want to hear the truth because as always the truth hurts, but a lie is cushioning, like a nice soft sofa…

This article had Pakistan, McCarthyism, propaganda, East, West, Libya, Syria, lies, hate, confusion, stupidity, morals, Soviet Union, USA, Cuba, the 50’s, the 60’s, the 70’s, politics, war, Western press. Eastern press, Europe, guns, drugs and the kitchen sink to boot…

I went all out and then after reading it again and almost push the post button. I looked around me and said to myself, “Self, No one (in America or the West) gives a crap about what you just said, but it did feel good to get it off my chest!” So I trashed canned the article. For it was written to try to get even one person to open their eyes…

Are you interested in why I trashed it? Glad you asked…

Because I think that most of you out there are just simply plain happy living in ignorance and you do not want to hear or think about the truth. I think that you do not care what your government is doing and how many people it is killing. I think that you all think that as long as the deaths are in another country that you can not even find on a map, then all is fine and hunky dory…

I also came to a conclusion: After watching the scores of videos about this past last Black Friday, after Thanksgiving and seeing the hate, greed, confusion and violence. I realized that the people of America have what they want. A government that is doing what they do, think, act and feel. The government in America is a carbon copy of her people. The American government is just an extension of the people and it mimic’s the people closely…

It dawned on my that I am (and about 20%, give or take of the US population) a dying breed of person in America. People like me are labeled now! We are radical, militants, crazy, weird and unpatriotic. That is far from the truth but it is how we are labeled to keep us ostracized against the main population. Oh people want to say, “You know he could be right!” but they are all scared anymore. I know I was in America…

Then I wondered over my second cup of coffee: Are we worth saving or are we too far gone? Are we just too reliant on government? Are we too scared? Are we too weak? Are we too brainwashed?

Sometimes being out of the hornets nest, I think we are too far gone and until I see it different, then I will believe that we (U.S.) as a country have lost true patriotism, freedom, liberty and life to the terrorists of the world…

I look at America and sadly realize that Terrorists have won and they never really fired a shot at us…

But it seems to be what we want, because we do nothing about it. Voting in a career politician just will not do the job because with the exception of just a few like e.g.: Ron Paul. You are just replacing one rotten apple with another rotten apple… (Oops there is that crazy Ron Paul issue! You all know he is a little bit weird! The MSM says so…)

PS: Maybe I am wrong and one day before it is too late, we will wake up and put a stop to the lies and crap that are being fed to us 24 hours a day. Until we start thinking for ourselves and get off the government baby bottle. Until the federal government gets out of the business of running our everyday lives. That is just not going to happen…

PSS: Well I guess I still wrote a, “I hope one person will listen article! :)” Now don’t get me wrong I see Russia following down this same path and I see lots of the world following this path. I just care and get upset about America, as that is my country and my original home…

I was drinking my second cup of coffee and I thought about how old civilization is in this part of the world. I really do not know how old it is, I was just thinking about it… 🙂

In our travels we c0me upon interesting signs that point down side roads to special places. It was just such a sign on a trip several years ago that said turn here and go to – “Stone People”. So we turned and after about an hour down a goat trail. We saw the remains of a civilization that carved statues from sandstone. All I can show you is some of the statues and the big pile of sandstone that they used to carve figures from. Cameras are great for memories…

You hear about the whole world and how old the remains of man are in areas of the world. Very little is said about how old the people in Russia are and the surrounding areas. I can tell you that mankind is old, in these here parts…

Man has been carving statues in Ukraine and Russia a very long time…

Picture 1, 2 and 3 are stone figures that have been found and moved to help preserve from theft and destruction. They are near a security building so that a watchful eye can see what everyone is doing to them. They allow you to touch them and they are really cool. Picture 4 is my beautiful Wife on top of the sandstone used to carve from. Picture 5 is what we had to climb through to get to top of the sandstone mound…

Sveta and I have so much fun on our trips and we love to just take a side road to whatever! The side roads to whatever are where the fun is… 🙂
