The appearance on camera early on Tuesday of Seif al-Islam, son and one time heir-apparent of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, appears to defy earlier claims made by the International Criminal Court and leaders of Libya’s National Transitional Council that he had been detained by rebel forces.
Rebel leader Mustafa Abdel-Jalil had said on Monday that three of Gaddafi’s sons had been captured, including Seif…
Interesting! That was the most truth we have heard for two days about Libya…
Thanks to all the readers and maybe we can keep rocking those numbers. This is also happening without any Ukraine numbers (still blocked in Ukraine) and they use to be number 4 on the list of countries…
I also found it interesting to see that two top cities in America that Windows to Russia rocks in is Boston and Baltimore. We have hundreds of readers from each city – everyday…
So a big thanks to the readership and pass the word…
The visitors and page-views dial was just spinning today…
The title of the Article on Russia Today has to make you smile, because it is so true and you can just imagine an image in your mind…
Months of chaos await Libya if the NATO-led operation in the country topples Muammar Gaddafi, political analyst William Engdahl told RT, but regime change would suit Western oil interests.
“They are eventually going to topple Gaddafi,” he said. “And I think what Libya is going to face after that is a period of prolonged chaos. Nobody knows the outcome.”
“What emerges from that, I think it suits some of the Western oil interests, especially the British and the French, who were fighting like piranhas over grabbing the most juicy oil fields for their own companies,” said Engdahl, author of “Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order.”
Engdahl says NATO’s actions in Libya have created a very virulent precedent.
“What we have going on in Libya for some months now is a major effort by the US and NATO forces to pour at least $1 billion by various estimates into the so-called Transitional National Council,” he said. “It’s rival tribal clan warfare that is going on in Libya. This is not a democracy movement by any stretch of the imagination.”
Engdahl said it is simply an insurgency being supported covertly by US-financed armed shipments to the rebels – in order, he claimed “to simply carve up the oil fields and get them into Western hands, rather than in Libyan state hands, which Gaddafi held firmly on to.”
My chicory this morning was great and I am glad that I finally have switched. I seem to feel better all day long and I am able to drink multiple cups all day. No caffeine is the plus factor and if you study the drink chicory you will find it is a beneficial drink: Although the medical usages of this herb are numerous, Chicory is known for the fact that it’s considered an excellent coffee substitute. Moreover it contains insulin – a substance from the saccharoids group, very useful for transforming the non-alimentary substances into biodegradable ones. Read More >>>
Enough about that. I like it because it taste good and after a few weeks I have adapted to it. It is kinda like when you try to switch from Coke to diet coke. Once you get the new flavor in your system and head then the old flavor is not the same anymore. I use a little more milk than I did with coffee but that is okay because most of the time, that is the only milk that I drink anymore…
Several things that makes even more sense is that it costs so much less than coffee does and is much more water soluble than coffee. Other words 100 grams of chicory versus 100 grams of coffee, chicory wins all the way around… (unless caffeine is all you want!)
Well the same thinking’s are going on with or without coffee and chicory seems to do the job as well as coffee…
Today it was hard not to be thinking about what is happening in Libya. NATO went on a huge over the top bombing spree to help the rebels get into Tripoli. As predicted NATO (not the rebels) wins but not until almost 6 months, many thousands dead and billions spent. Besides after Qaddafi falls the fun really begins. (Just watch and listen!) Besides it is not over yet and there is so much miss information from the West that you really do not know what to think or do and it looks like someone forgot to tell Gaddafi it is over…
I find it sad that we as a Western world are celebrating his downfall (Just like Osama bin Laden) and ignore all the deaths of innocent people and the destruction of so many important landmarks to get to that point. Same in Iraq, same in Afghanistan and the same in a dozen more places over the years. As I have said from the start it was all wrong and all done for the wrong reasons. (Just like Osama bin Laden) But people seem to not care about right and wrong, they just care about the end result. The damage on the way to the end result is just called collateral damage…
Sveta and I are going to the village and spend a few weeks. I will post from the village as we now have the means and way. I am going to quit worrying about the world for awhile. It is time to look at Russia and her villages. We will be able to spend two Sundays in the village and that means we get to shop at the wonderful village market that is set up every Sunday. I plan on getting some pictures of the market this time due to the fact that I got my android camera phone going good again. It is so cool how they do these markets in the Russian villages. They take the whole main street and line it with booths from vendors. They sell anything from shoes to car parts… 🙂
I also get to spend time working on the car and I have my bottle of wax to give her a good wax job before Winter hits and believe me Winter is right on the door step as I write this article…
One last thinking: Internet Comment Trolls Suck and they really need to find something else to do. Spam and trolls are the scourge of the WWW…
Independent journalist Lizzie Phelan says the reports are an effort by NATO to create panic.
“The only gunfire that we are hearing is celebratory gunfire,” she said. “And the only explosions that we are hearing are NATO air strikes or NATO sound bombs, which are clearly designed to create a sense of panic in the capital city of Tripoli.”
Phelan said that the Libyan rebels created fake footage of themselves in Zawiya and Tripoli, and were aided in disseminating the footage by, among other media outlets, Al Jazeera. The Qatar-based satellite television station, she argued, has been at the center of the media conspiracy against Libya. The Western mainstream media, she continued, in turn picked up these reports and repeated them, creating a sense of panic among the Libyan people.
“Later on in the areas like Soug Jomaa, after the prayers, a number of armed gangs emerged, which are essentially sleeper cells of rebels inside the city, and began firing randomly and threatening ordinary people, that if they did not join them they would be assassinated,” she said. “They then took footage of the empty streets, which created the sense that they were in the process of capturing the city.”
Many people in Tripoli have been armed by the government and these people came out to defend their capital, she added.
“The government spokesman came out and insisted that the situation had been brought under control,” Phelan claimed. “As a result, now in Green Square the masses have come out because they feel safe again and they are letting off celebratory gunfire and fireworks. Muammar Gaddafi spoke to the masses live via phone, because there have been reports that he fled the country.”
Political analyst Mahdi Nazemroaya says that the gunfire in the Libyan capital is sporadic and disorganized, and that its main purpose is to break down the morale of the population.
“The main point of the attacks in Tripoli is to break down the morale here and cause panic,” he said. “The media here at the hotel where I am staying has been part of this disinformation campaign. They just want to feed the panic here and want the regime to collapse. They are fueling and feeding this psychological war against this country.”
Looks like “Cash For Clunkers” worked in Russia. Putin’s program that pushed domestic made automobiles in Russia was a success and many want to carry the program forever as a internal stimulus for domestic cars…
Looks like the LADA skunked out but not a Volga to be seen. Poor Volga and it is my favorite car… 🙂
I have mixed feelings about the “Cash for Clunker” programs and do not see them as a success in the long term, but in Russia they ran the program much longer than in America. It looks to have been more successful, while much slower paced in Russia and the talk is to continue the program forever…
The project of a multipurpose tunnel under the sea bed of the Bering Strait between Russia’s Far East and the USA, Alaska has been given the green light at least by Russia. The tunnel which is necessary for the connection of transportation systems of Eurasia and America is estimated at almost $100 USA billion. It is being reported on Russian news that the USA has given the green light to start the gears in motion over this tunnel…
The tunnel is part of almost a 7,000-kilometre corridor from Siberia into the United States includes a 100-kilometre tunnel under the Bering Strait. It will be more than twice as long as the underwater section of the Channel Tunnel between the U.K. and France. The undersea tunnel would contain a high-speed railway, highway and pipelines, as well as power and fiber-optic cables…
I have written about this before and to Russia this is a real and worthwhile project. But I never see proper interest by the North American side. Maybe this is that interest. It would be cool to travel all the way to America by car… 🙂
Link to an article that I did several years ago. Link >>>
Moscow has officially, unofficially been given her new boundaries and as normal in this world, the amount of increase has increased from original plans. That is normal and I guess that it is better to go bigger and not smaller.
The planned enlargement of Moscow’s boundaries is going to include more land than first thought.
City Hall says the Russian capital will now grow by 16,000 hectares. The expansion will be mainly in the south of the city.
Moscow will grow to include Skolkovo town, which hosts Russia’s new innovation hub, and Rublevo-Arkhangelskoe village, where Russia’s international financial center will be located.
The drums for a war on Syria are beating loudly these last few days. In fact I could hear them resounding over the ocean all night and even resonating as far as Moscow inland…
Keep it up everyone! So you can beat your chest harder and rattle those sabers to scare the world to do your bidding. Syria is in the gun sites now just like Libya was 6 months ago…
As the West gets totally financial devastated, the more push come shove, will the West become…
Beat them drums for war – Beat them Drums for war…
A division is growing East and West…

Windows to Russia!
PS: Remember 1983? This old cartoon seems to be still in vogue…
I talked earlier about Venezuela wanting its gold back from the West. Another reason could be associated with the rumors that Gaddafi has found protection with Venezuela and his friend Chavez. Then that makes perfect sense also…
But the rumors are flying on this side of the world and have been for two days at least. Russia posting this morning several articles and now China has posted article after article about it and just in the last hour the English Chinese news has posted: Gaddafi family members to be evacuated from Tunisia on board Venezuelan plane, A Venezuelan plane has landed on the island of Djerba to evacuate members of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s family, Tunisian radio, Mosaique FM, reported on Friday. The news was announced by the radio’s correspondent on the Tunisia- Libyan border…
Starting to look closer to a world war everyday. I woke up last night and realized that an East/West war is building. At one point China and Russia are going to have to step into the fray. That is when it will get interesting…
