“Crying Wolf”, use to be what you avoided…

Just maybe we should revisit all the old teachings of old? Looks like we need a refresher course in what did not work very well in the past…

If someone cries wolf, they say that there is a problem when there is not, with the result that people do not believe them when there really is a problem.

Cry Wolf is the new norm…

Moscow has four Covid-19 vaccines…

Four Russian vaccines which may combat coronavirus have been proven to be safe, with some tests already at their final stage, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told parliament on Wednesday.Mishustin told MPs that Russia’s health system is prepared for a rise in cases this fall. He explained that the government had provided an investment boost to national healthcare in response to the Covid-19 outbreak and now it has enough resilience to withstand a possible second wave.“Four vaccines today have proven to be safe, according to Rospotrebnadzor [Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing].”The prime minister stressed that 17 scientific and research institutions in the country were developing the vaccine today, including the Ministry of Education and Science, the Health Ministry, the Federal Medical-Biological Agency and the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing. “There are more than 26 types of the vaccine,” Mishustin said.

When you get up early, you find the bats in TRV…

Sitting in the Tiny Russian Village in the wee hours of the morning….contemplating about the day ahead….heard little chirps and saw some shadows, some right in front of my face. Then on came the sensor light and low and behold, bats and more bats…

So since Mother Nature was calling. I tried to get a video and did so at different zooms and such. Kinda worked….enjoy!

So I kept trying to get a better video. So dark and not easy…

And again…

And one more time….it is around 3 to 3:30 a.m. so hard to get a good video at that time…

No wonder I could sit outside this morning and no mosquitoes bothered me…

The bats are going batty eating them…

Mass shooting at Chicago funeral home, USA going nuts…

News to wake up from a good sleep…

The shooting unfolded on Tuesday evening in Chicago’s Auburn Gresham community on the South Side, where police say multiple people were shot outside a funeral home, according to a local CBS affiliate.

The Chicago Fire Department said 11 victims were being treated at the University of Chicago Medical Center for their injuries, all in serious or critical condition.

A local reporter on the scene said there were “dozens of dozens” of shell casings visible on the ground in the aftermath of the incident, also citing a resident who said it sounded like “multiple weapons” were used in the shooting.

Some thoughts from TRV as the world goes nuts…

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…

Here we go again and again, Russia Russia China China…

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.”

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…

Drove to the Big Village here in Russia…

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…

Nord Stream 2: EU Opposes US Sanctions on Companies ‘Carrying Out Legitimate Business’ – Borrell – Sputnik International

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.
