Windows to Russia

It is going to rain today. I can feel it in the old bones and kinda creaked as I walked this morning. I got up at 4 a.m. and around 5 a.m. decided to walk. Oh Boy, that coffee is good this morning…

I saw three foxes and half a dozen deer. They all were shocked that someone was out so early, but I benefited from that. They were all too fast and I could not get the camera out soon enough, but I will catch them. The foxes had beautiful plum tails and the deer were huge. One buck among them. That got the blood flowing, I am here to tell you…

Probably rest today for the most part…

Svetochka will be back in a few weeks and that will give me plenty of time to get lots done. Most likely tomorrow I will start moving our stuff out of one home into another. The new place is looking good and is ready to live in when I need to. Svetochka’s mother is not coming this time to the Tiny Russian Village, but I hope to get her here this summer, if not next year is another year and then I hope to get the grand kid here then…

TRV is my little bit of heaven…

The New York Times’ bombshell story on the secret US cyberwar on Russia’s electrical grid should’ve been a headline-breaker, but instead the paper minimized its prominence. One expert told Sputnik it’s because the story vindicates every cyberattack claim made by countries under the US’ gunsights.

This started in Russia when Trump allowed and even signed off on allowing it in the past to go ahead with the programs…

“As a deterrent against attacks on our critical resources the United States must possess…the unquestioned capacity to launch crippling cyber counter attacks,” Trump told the crowd at a Retired American Warriors town hall in Virginia today. “I mean crippling. Crippling.”

and

President Donald Trump has eliminated rules governing the process for launching cyberattacks, giving the military freer rein to deploy its advanced hacking tools without pushback from the State Department and the intelligence community, an administration official told POLITICO.

So he knew that we would attack everyone just for fun. Right?

Trump did not have to be notified of such attacks against anyone in the world, by his own doing…

The head of US Cyber Command told Congress Wednesday the agency is ready to respond more aggressively to cyber attacks. With a 10 percent boost in its budget for 2020, CYBERCOM hopes to plug “significant breaches” in the US Navy’s cyber defenses in particular.

Russia is just about ready to declare this an act of war against it. Trump knows this, as he starts to panic, and the ones behind it do not care they want that war…

I have been following the news in Russia and for months they have been talking about the huge increase in attacks since free reigns have been given to certain parties in the USA….it has little effect, but it is happening just the same and is increasing. Now you understand the issues happening around the world. Such as Venezuela and such….now everyone has the culprit to point their finger at…

That is the real issue; we do not worry until we have been caught at the act and then we feel sorry, only that we got caught…

Trump you did bad and trying to act like you did not know is like the kid with chocolate icing all over his face saying, “I did not eat the cake!”

Keep it up America, you are losing friends fast and that is bad news in the world…

Our new “Nikolai’s Home” is sitting on top of the world. At least it looks like it is at times. It is located such that it has a perfect view of the valley and you can see everyone who is trying to get to the village…

When Sammy the Volga demands attention, I give her attention. Working on the rear leaf spring on the drivers side. I need to change a shackle, but make that shackle 3 cm longer at the same time. Sammy is getting old and needs some tiny lifts here and there to keep her trim figure looking nice…

Not much traffic at the Ole TRV…

Every time I look at myself, I see my grandpa’s Stroud/Keeton. Mainly because my dad died at 50 and grandpa’s died at 83 respectively. So I saw my grandpas as much older than my dad when they all passed away….interesting to think how we perceive things from our younger years…

Apples are not big this year. Last year was gangbusters for apples and this year the trees will rest…

Guess who has two pears this year?

Yes we do and that means next year we will have a bunch of pears to much on. Yummy!

We also could have white lilacs next year and it looks as if our Chestnut Tree has survived. The T-Rose even came back and I really thought the last winter and very little care had killed it. So happy…

Meet George the Bird…

and a few weeks ago we found his new life in progress…

George is back and TRV is just perfect…

Well we just got to the Tiny Russian Village and found this…

So at Nikolai’s Home we have to be very quiet and careful. Babies are a growing up…

The Tiny Russian Village is just perfect and I am so glad to be able to spend a month and more here…

We (mainly I) am going to spend up to a month in the Tiny Russian Village. We have too much to do and we hope that we can get it done. Svetochka will go home after a week and try to bring her mother with her when she comes back again in a week or so…

Therefore, we will get mothers home ready for her and we will set up our new home, “Nikolai’s Home”…

I really hope that Sveta and her mother come to stay a few weeks….I promise not to bother them and I will be a good grouchy bear….seriously I promise to be good!

Next year it will be time to try to get the oldest grandkid (New one coming in July?) for the summer at the Tiny Russian Village. This is the Russian way and we need to have both grandma (babushka) and great grandma (pro babushka) there to help me…

Bears are scared of little monkeys, right?

Posting from “Nikolai’s Home” soon…

The corporate media’s editorial standards for reporting on Official Enemies of the US government, especially North Korea, are as low as ever. Blatantly false stories are regularly circulated by leading news outlets without any kind of accountability.

In the latest example of fake news disseminated without any hint of skepticism by America’s top journalists, virtually every major media outlet reported that a senior North Korean official named Kim Yong-chol was supposedly forced into a “labor camp,” as part of a larger deadly “purge.”

Two days later, that same official turned up alive at a public art performance, seated next to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The false story was circulated by The New York Times, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, The Hill, The Daily Beast, Fox News, CNBC, TIME, ABC News, The Financial Times, The Telegraph, VICE, Rolling Stone, The Independent, The Washington Times, The New York Post, HuffPost, France 24, The Japan Times, Haaretz, The Times of Israel, Democracy Now, the US government’s Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, and many more…

I think it is about time that you/we/us/them/those and everyone else as in all of us humans, stopped listening to Western Media and start thinking for yourself…

Virtually 90% plus + of whatever the USA and Marionette governments says or claims, have all been eventually, literally and unquestionably proven to be deliberate manipulative lies. This can be followed back a good hundred years without fail…

An open mind can see it easily…

Makes me sad to think how manipulative my own government has been all my life….it is the same all over the world and from history, it seems to be the same since man started to walk the earth…

Life is nothing but manipulation, agenda and power in all forms…

Google has billions riding upon this new tech and thus, you have Google balking at what the USA is doing to Huawei and Googles future. Talk about cutting your own throat…

Point is that the USA is so far behind the curve that our companies will be set back many years more, if we do not embrace the Chinese technology. Chinese tech has run into the sunset as we gawked and watched that sunset…

It is starting to look like the US took the rope given to them and made a noose…

Just another day for us in Russia… (Another Ticket)

I would imagine that I am the only non-citizen and American to boot, caught in our town. I guess that gives me celebrity status….which I really don’t want…

RIAMO (QUEEN) – 7 Jun.

Policemen in Korolev fined nearly 40 people a week for drinking alcohol in public and drinking, breaking traffic rules and disorderly conduct, Oksana Yerunovskaya told RIAMO Koroleva, senior inspector of media relations in the city district.

Citizens were brought to responsibility for the use of alcoholic beverages in public places, for appearing in public places while intoxicated, for speeding on the road, for traffic violations and for disorderly conduct.

I admit it did make me more careful in as, “Looking for cops!” before I and or we act like a normal person and Russian, as we cross the roads…

As an American, I feel privileged to have been caught in their sting operations…

Fluorescent Bulbs Hit a Wall of Grouchy People in Russia…

The florescent bulb went down the tubes and while we still have them, incandescent came back fully twice as strong as before. But, LED’s have taken the market and left all the others behind…

While Svetochka and I were definitely ant-florescent, we have embraced the LED…

It is cheap, as cheap almost as the incandescent with brand to brand & apples to apples comparison and the lifespan is unbelievable. The LED is like an Energizer Bunny and just keeps on going and going…

That makes this guy happy….in 2017 I wrote this below…

Light Bulbs Incandescent…

Now I am writing about how the LED bulb is the best of all worlds and I just love the fact that they have such low heat, high light output, low watts and cheap to boot…

I see LED’s as cheap as 49 rubles for a 60/75/100 watt equivalent output…

And I am not the only one in Russia who sees this…

https://sudonull.com/posts/3981-LED-lamp-for-49-rubles

Amazing…

Therefore, since I write about something in the past, I write about changes to how I feel about something in the future. In this case, while I like incandescent, they do not hold a candle to LED’s…

Lets not even talk about that sucky florescent piece of trash…
