Windows to Russia

Something about this building in the background. I see it almost everyday as I walk. It simply leaves an impression on you as you come into the alleyway from around the business buildings in front. I am not sure why, but it just stuns you as you find it appearing like in the photo…

It makes you feel kind of small and I am not sure, but as it is full of people living there. It has to hold enough people to make its own small town… (Maybe 4000 people in all?) Is there any doubt as to why markets are able to survive around the area. For it is huge, but there is dozens of buildings almost as big all around…

It is also about as deep as it is wide. A city block is filled by this building…

It is twenty stories tall and the very top floors have no windows. I wonder what is in them?

Just walking in Russia…

Read it if you want propaganda at its best…

Western foreign policy “experts” don’t have a indication about how to construct any type of conjecture about Russia. Most live in a tower in Moscow and stare out the window 50 stories up and use osmosis to gather information, as if by magic. They know next to nothing about Russian history, nothing about Russian culture and incapable of extracting any knowledge and comprehension about the strength and depth of Russian technological skills. They seem to be incapable to get it through their think-tank/pea-brains, that the America is not the only game in the world. They actually think that leaving the building and going to the expat bar around the corner is akin to suffice with garnering the knowledge necessary to become an expert on Russia…

However that they belittle and demean Russia, one fact remains: Russia is a formidable military power and not one to behold a whatnot session with and displaying the attitude of a slack-jawed dolt towards the Russians…

It should be understood that the “Rand Corporation” intentionally propagates paid for and fake facts, intentionally bogus errors, misleading analysis, and denouement is intentionally of a propagandistic nature, with minute truth involved when it concerns Russia. If such faulty/lies/misinterpretations and agendas of enlightenment of information and propaganda is relied upon by any country, notably the USA, this may well be why Americans have a distorted view of reality, as we jeopardize international peace, the world over…

They want an expert on Russia from the west?

They can contact me….but they will not, for I will not write what they desire and demand…

Stop with the blatant, paid for lies about other countries…

Always on the lookout for new places to walk. We have a national forest that is great for biking and walking. I found some old railroad tracks and followed them for many kilometers. Came to a lake and people had been walking all over the lake….so I walked on it also….frozen deep…

14 kilometers in this particular walk for the morning…

Have a nice day…

In the name of the African Union, I would like to greet the members of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and I hope that this meeting will be among the most historic in the history of the world.

In the name of the General Assembly at its sixtyfourth session, presided over by Libya, of the African Union, of one thousand traditional African kingdoms [trans.] and in my own name, I would like to take this opportunity, as President of the African Union, to congratulate our son Obama because he is attending the General Assembly, and we welcome him as his country is hosting this meeting.

Vladimir Putin held a meeting on measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus on the territory of the Russian Federation. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, Healthcare Minister Mikhail Murashko and Head of Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare) Anna Popova submitted relevant reports to the President.

In late December 2019, the Chinese authorities reported an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown origin in the city of Wuhan. Experts tentatively established that a new type of coronavirus – 2019-nCoV – was the pathogen of the disease.

According to the latest data, 5,974 people in China have been infected with the new type of coronavirus, including 132 people who died. Cases of infection have been reported in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Nepal, Malaysia, Australia, the United States, Canada, France and Germany.

Every week we get new numbers of brain injury from the fallout of when America illegally and underhandedly assassinated General Soleimani of Iran…

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon announced Thursday that 64 American troops sustained mild traumatic brain injuries as a result of the Iranian missile strikes on two military bases in Iraq, once again revising how many service members were hurt in the Jan. 8 attack.

TEHRAN (FNA)- 64 American military personnel have now been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury in the wake of the Iranian missile strike on Ein Al-Assad military base in Iraq, while President Donald Trump and his defense officials had initially claimed no service members were injured or killed in Tehran’s retaliatory operation

The numbers of deaths are rising and no one in America is talking about this and or asking the hard questions, like “Why did we really do it?”

I am starting to see some hindsight issues going on…

“The Rospobrebnadzor [Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-being] services have identified two persons infected with coronavirus in Russia — in the Trans-Baikal Region and the Tyumen Region. They are under strict surveillance. They have been isolated, and necessary assistance has been provided to them. Both are Chinese citizens,” she said.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The FSB said last week that thousands of anonymous bomb threats had been sent via Dutch internet service StartMail. Russian media watchdog Roskomnadzor blocked access to StartMail in Russia, but schools, courts and hospitals across the country continue receiving threats.

Since the so-called email terrorists continue distributing fake bomb threats to Russian facilities and are now using Swiss internet service ProtonMail, the service will be blocked in the country, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Wednesday.

“From 24 January, anonymous users have been using Protonmail.com email service (Switzerland) to continue their criminal activities. Similar messages with bomb threats were sent to emails of courts located in four [federal] subjects across Russia. Texts also mentioned 830 allegedly mine-infested objects of social and transport infrastructure. All the threats were fake,” the FSB said in a press release.

According to the FSB, this internet service was already used for distributing fake bomb threats to 123 facilities across Russia last year.

The FSB added that access to the service was blocked in Russia starting Wednesday.

Since November, a massive wave of bomb threats has hit Russian institutions, including schools, kindergartens, shopping malls, as well as metro stations, prompting mass evacuations. So far, no explosive devices have been found following the messages, with all of them being just hoaxes.
