This should make you think – Walmart and China…


The announcement of the opening of hundreds of new stores in China follows the company’s announcement earlier in the year, where it stated that it was planning to invest billions of dollars into its Chinese business. On Thursday, Walmart stated that it will mainly be using its investment to focus on groceries and online shopping, which it believes are the keys to drive its expansion in the country.

It is the press that gets very little fanfare that you should look at. Not the dancing clowns being presented as real news…

Lets talk Kids…

This morning I was thinking about kids in Russia. The Russians are very and I mean very attuned to their kids. Yes, you have the occasional oddball that could careless about children that they have, but a Russian puts their child first and foremost…

This has its drawbacks; Low birthrate and that is because of wanting to give all they can to the child and more children mean less attention to just one child. The Russian government has been giving large sums of money to couples that will have one child and much more money to every child that the couple has extra. This leads to a whole new set of issues and it is already rearing its head in society. This is another post and not to be expanded upon here…

Lets just say, having children for money is the same as having children on welfare and being paid more in food stamps and other welfare items for each child you have…

Though for now, when one child is born that usually ends up being the only child and the parents devote themselves to that child to make their life the best it can be. You can see the difference in how the children are in society when you see a family from an0ther country that has no desire to raise their children to receive the best of life. A family from the Caucasus is normal six or more children and they are very much wild monkeys when in public. The mothers and fathers never care what they do and a family of them will destroy a restaurant in a heartbeat. You even have to watch your food that you are eating, for these children will grab it from in front of you if you look away…

Russians watch their children and the children are raised to be polite….but that is changing when you start having children just for the money. Kinda like buying good grades for your kids. Be it pay money for every A and or paying the school to make your child shine. It is false and not desired, but money is a form of a god…

I ate breakfast in Globus as I do almost every morning. I have been watching how the dads will bring the child and or two if they have that many and sit with them and have breakfast. They talk and laugh and plan their day. Mom is at home resting during these times, for she does the brunt of raising the kids. Dad is at work and mom is at home, 80% of the time. Thus, dad does his part the best he can and it is only fair to all…

It is what it is and actually the way it should be. Mom nurtures and dad gather the bacon, so to speak…

A family in Russia is still a man and woman having a child and being a family. Not the screwed up system that has been flourishing in the western world. Male + Female = a child, just like 1+1=2…

My son in-law and his wife have had a second child and they realized immediately that their dream of four children will not happen. They did the second partly for the money and found that life did not just become twice as hard, but a 3 year old and a newborn are a bunch of work and life became three times harder. The grandmas are helping all they can and Sveta’s son who works 60 hours a week does what he can. But mom has become a full time babysitter, that does not allow the typical Russian way of raising children…

I am done for today and have a few more posts to write about what I see as I live in Russia…

Julian Assange + Sweden = No Charges


If there ever was a case of a pure distorted charade of our modern times of justice, Julian Assange is at the heart of it. Sweden has officially dropped the case, which means that Assange was correct in running in the first place. He said he was set up with lies and he was…

Swedish prosecutors dropped their rape case against Julian Assange, a cofounder of WikiLeaks, it was announced on Tuesday.

Assange faced a rape allegation stemming from 2010, but prosecutors decided that, while the Swedish complainant was credible and evidence reliable, her memory of the night in question had faded and there was limited corroborative evidence available.

“Her statements have been coherent, extensive and detailed, however, my overall assessment is that the evidential situation has been weakened to such an extent that there is no longer any reason to continue the investigation,” said Eva-Marie Persson, Sweden’s deputy director of public prosecution.

In 2010, being suspected of committing sexual offences in Sweden, Assange fled to the United Kingdom, eventually taking up residency in the Ecuadorian embassy where he remained from June 2012 until April this year.

Assange’s Swedish lawyer, Per Samuelson, said as far as he was aware British lawyers had not yet been able to contact Assange in jail to inform him of the Swedish decision.

“This is the end of Assange’s association with the Swedish justice system,” Samuelson said. “But he is not happy with the way he’s been treated. He lost faith in the Swedish justice system years ago.”

I myself do not think that Assange is a saint by any means and I refuse to give him lofty heights of attention as so many do, treating him as we would an Angel from heaven. Assange does good and does bad, but this particular case against him has been a sham and setup from the beginning…

Anyone with an ounce of brains knew from the start that Assange had stepped on the wrong toes and TPTB were out to get him. The issue is that Assange had to run, for to have been taken in years ago, put him in greater danger than he is now. He as you and or me, have a right to run from a situation that is pure deceit filled and your life’s balance is in jeopardy…

What needs attention at this moment is not about Assange, but about the fact that he, you, me, them, they, us and everyone around you, do not have any rights whatsoever. Assange was convicted first, no trial and sentenced by media and governments. All with no preclusion to attempting a legit trial and or any form of justice…

Assange knew he did nothing wrong in the trumped up Swedish charges of rape. He knew he had been set up by a patsy woman/Gov and had no choice but to run. His life would very likely without a doubt be ended many years ago, at least now he has a 1% chance of surviving the ordeal. When this all started, he had no chance…

As everything surrounding the rape issue against Assange is false, then any actions by Britain and the subsequent squelching of his rights as a human, are criminal….does not matter if you think he is an angel or not, his rights as a human have been destroyed…

Destroyed because, someone and or something did not like what he did…

What he did was tell the truth and in our world the truth will get you killed…

We should all think about what if we stepped over the line drawn by our government? That line that says do not cross or else?

That line is very close to our feet everyday and we think we are being good. In our world, no one is safe from crossing the line at anytime. They move the line as needed to ensnare us when they need to… – Me

PS: Britain has no reason to even have chased him in the first place, thus, he should walk free immediately. For when we are convicted with no evidence, it really is a travesty of justice. Assange never had a chance against the system and he made several errors in trying to believe in the system…

The biggest error was not running to Russia, where he could have lived free and safe, just like Snowden does…

But one thing Assange did not error in; he told the truth…

Small Farm Product Market in Korolev…


RIAMO (QUEEN) – Nov 22. A farm products store has opened in the фермерских продуктов, the press service of the Ministry of Consumer Market and Services of the Moscow Region said…

The store opened on October 14. Its size is 976 square meters, where home grown farm products from more than 100+ suppliers of the Moscow Region will be presented and sold to us consumers…

“The opening of a new farm products store in Korolev brings a lot of advantages for both residents and producers in the Moscow region. For residents, this is new jobs and the opportunity to purchase fresh dairy, meat, fish products, vegetables and fruits, and not only within walking distance from home. For manufacturers in the region, this is an additional opportunity to sell goods. Our Moscow Region entrepreneurs just need new reliable channels for selling products, ”said Vladimir Posazhennikov, Minister of Consumer Market and Services of the Moscow Region.

Investments in the construction of a new facility amounted to about 36 million rubles and more than 30+ new jobs have already been created with the opening of the store. If successful, the area has room to grow and prosper…

I have to say that this is a good thing and we always need more access to fresh raw farm products…

Tidbit: In Russia, the Russians look for food that looks in its roughest state of preparation. EG….A potato with dirt on it still is considered better than a potato that has been washed before display to be sold…

We are lucky in Russia; access to GMO free food is a blessing and access to food grown by locals is promoted. Sveta and I eat healthy because raw food products are good, cheap and plentiful for all…

The USA is that scared of the S400: Turkey needs to ‘get rid of’ S-400s to overcome impasse – State Dept official


My Oh My the path we weave…

The fear of the impossible to overcome is at hand. This is not the actions of a Superpower that has its act together. It is conductive of either a spooked child and or something in serious psychosis issues…

WASHINGTON, Nov 21 (Reuters) – Turkey needs to “get rid of” the Russian S-400 missile defense system it purchased, a senior State Department official said on Thursday, to overcome a standoff with Washington, which says the procurement poses a threat to NATO defense capabilities.”There is room for Turkey to come back to the table. They know that to make this work they need to either destroy or return or somehow get rid of the S-400,” the official told reporters at a briefing.

http://news.trust.org/item/20191121173806-nthf4/

You would think that if a country can defend itself, be it their own made defense weapons and or bought defense weapons from anyone, that it would be a expected and supported decision for self-determination of a country…

Instead we have the US acting like a spoiled and scared child demanding that they get their way…

The S-400 system is meant to make Turkey safer against another instance when USA tries to play “Friend turned Backstabber” as they did not long ago, seeking regime change in Turkey…

Kind of makes sense to turn to Russia to get something to stop an invasion of such a “Friend”. ~

Walking Korolev, Russia


This morning I heard an accelerating car, looked down the street and here comes this Yandex rented car weaving all over the place….then…

The driver smashed into a street sign at a red light, jumped out of the car and ran across a busy street, cars slammed on the brakes and barely missed the driver of the wrecked car. All the while the driver screaming as they ran and everyone at this very busy intersection started at one and another…

I shook my head and walked across the road. The world went back to normal, except for this image you see above…

What can I say? “It is Russia!” 😉

The New Year trees are going up everywhere. I love this time of the year and this morning it was -10 degrees. Yippy, winter is starting to feel good…

So cheap to travel from Russia. Russians love going to Cuba and I wish I could go and enjoy the beaches. Sveta and I have to look into this and see how I can get there and not be ostracized by my country, the USA…

This year we will go to Dubai and experience a different place….it is very cheap also…

Another YouTube Video to save… (The Last Trolley)


Another video to save from YouTube. It is sad that YouTube and it now seems that all of Google itself is threatening and censoring normal and everyday life. I feel that this all will not end well for us Americans…

Until now the company allowed the targeting of people using data on their behaviour, such as search queries, that identified them as left-leaning or right-leaning or independent. It had also allowed data on public voter records to be used.

This is how it starts and if we allow the lies to censor us, then soon all will be censored…

That is why I am finding and saving our videos about Russia….you can no longer trust in what we use to trust. The lie has become our norm…
