The old days being surrounded by the new…

The time will come when a spacecraft carrying human beings will leave the earth and set out on a voyage to distant planets – to remote worlds. Today this may seem only an enticing fantasy, but such in fact is not the case. The launching of the first two Soviet Sputniks has already thrown a sturdy bridge from the earth into space, and the way to the stars is open – Sergei Korolev

MRI half done…

Yesterday I got my brain scanned. Next Tuesday, I will get my throat and sinus scanned? I ran into issues and half to think about what to do. I fit the machine and that was not an issue and the brain scan went fine, not an issue, but when they put the throat clamps around my neck….it was too tight and it was not possible for me to lay for an hour and get my sinuses and throat scanned…

I guess claustrophobia took over and Merry Christmas, I wanted to tear the machine in half. Thus, I hit the button for better stop or else and I got out. Guess I am wimpy? But it was a real thing and I have to discover how to get this done and not have my neck constricted. I have a 22 inch neck measurement and the equipment is not comfortable for that size. Average neck size is about 15 inches for men and as you see I am far above that…

After analyzing nearly 4,000 men, the researchers determined the average neck circumference for a guy was about 15 inches.

For each 1-inch increase in neck circumference—say, comparing average-necked guys with those with a 16-inch neck—men were 32 percent more likely to have insulin resistance, 24 percent more likely to have raised blood pressure, 50 percent more likely to have high triglycerides, and 22 percent more likely to have low HDL, or “good” cholesterol.

That article if even half true is not a good thing for guys with bull necks….I have had six heart attacks. I have diabetes. I struggle with cholesterol.  I have high blood pressure. I also have six inches on the average guy for neck size….Hmm, maybe it is correct?

Meet the Overlord of Clandestineness; No not Russia but North Korea…

The United States is monitoring information indicating that North Korea may be running a large underground military base in Syria. – Source: U.S. Monitoring Possible North Korean Military Base in Syria

Why those little devils:

Meet – The Overlords of Clandestineness, North Koreans! And they are just plain terribly smart too…

What I find truly inconceivable is that North Korean Scientists, in a nation (where according to highly reliable western news reports/sources and our own highly reliable western politicians, “⸮”) people die every day of starvation, eat their children, still run a single 486DX computer (with stolen Windows 3.1) and only have one light bulb in the whole damn country…

Have developed a means to teleport people and material across continents, and to hide their dastardly activities from all the world satellites, Santa Claus and even our (heaven forbid) American electronic surveillance…

So Clandestine of you North Korea (& seriously smart too)!

No wonder United States Government (USG for you alphabet lovers) is so scared of North Korea and the demigod Kimmy – their science leaves us deep behind into caveman territory, or for you lessor degreed individuals, we are looking at the ass end of superior alien god like technology and it all comes from North Korea…. We behind and need more money folks!

I would imagine that both China and Russia are damn worried, that now that their technology is way behind the Norks? Which I imagine is why the Russians and or China dared not implement any form of resistance to this project…

Who is to mess with a god?

How dare Syria allow the Norks to build a “Death Star” upon their land…

U.S. blames Russia for cyber attacks on energy grid

The Trump administration on Thursday blamed the Russian government for a campaign of cyber attacks stretching back at least two years that targeted the U.S. power grid, marking the first time the United States has publicly accused Moscow of hacking into American energy infrastructure.

Why the west cannot stomach Russians

WHEN it comes to Russia or the Soviet Union, reports and historical accounts do get blurry; in the west they do, and consequently in all of its ‘client states’.
Fairy tales get intermingled with reality, while fabrications are masterfully injected into the subconsciousness of billions of people worldwide. Russia is an enormous country, in fact, the largest country on Earth in terms of territory. It is scarcely inhabited. It is deep, and as a classic once wrote: ‘It is impossible to understand Russia with one’s brain. One could only believe in it.’

You really should read and think…

MRI time today…

Svetochka found a coupon for a clinic downtown and we will go today at 10 a.m., going downtown Moscow and get my brain fried! It is MRI time….

Rough Night…

I hope all is still clear…

It would be snowing like a crazy fool outside. -6 and we have a winter wonderland. Okay, well we already had a winter wonderland, but we just added 6 inches of snow on top of it all. In a few days it will -20 again…

Looks like pushing April before we will see much of the snow disappear around here…

Well now you know who wants that damn World War Three…

and…

Time for a prayer that I said everyday before I crawled like a child through the jungles of Nam…

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I realize that I made the correct move in life, everyday as I watch the hell being unleashed on this earth. I made the correct move by coming to Russia and I will most likely die here with my sweetie pie. Nothing will make me go back to the hell hole that the west has become. I cannot look at the immoral status of the western world and accept that all is good…

People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies. – Don Miguel Ruiz

Plus:

And here is what is wrong with the west and her games…

The Russian Embassy in the UK presented its statements:

“Moscow will not respond to London’s ultimatum until it receives samples of the chemical substance to which the UK investigators are referring.”

“Britain must comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention which stipulates joint investigation into the incident, for which Moscow is ready.”

“Without that, there can be no sense in any statements from London. The incident appears to be yet another crooked attempt by the UK authorities to discredit Russia.”

“Any threat to take ‘punitive’ measures against Russia will meet with a response. The British side should be aware of that.”

“Today the Embassy sent a note to the Foreign Office reiterating that Russia is not involved in the Salisbury incident and outlining the above mentioned demands for joint investigation.”

And that my friend is what is happening all over the western world. Accusations to push agendas and cover up fears of being found out….there are rules to follow internationally and Britain as with America time and time again, refuse to follow these rules…

Russia is being pushed into a war, a war that you simply do not want to live through…

Incidentally, novichok is not a specific substance but a class of new nerve agents, it is a word for many variations. Sources agree they were designed to be persistent, deadly and effective also on a degree much to a magnitude of and or stronger than sarin or a thiophosphonate. That is rather hard to equate that fact with the fact that nobody, but no one and or anything living has died from this alleged attack and those theoretically involved, just have to shower and wash their clothes….

Novichok is a series of nerve agents developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 80s. Allegedly, these are the most deadly nerve agents ever made, with some variants possibly five to eight times more potent than VX. Wikipedia

That information alone is enough to counter any and all allegations against Russia…

The damn stuff is deadly and there would be massive deaths involved….if no one dies and last count I have heard is 37 people affected, then there is not a nerve agent involved. Games or not by the west, will not change reality and right now there would be many body bags in the wake of any form of a novichok related nerve gases and or related forms of the substance, released into the general public…

Time to wake up people….you cannot express how terrible sarin is in Syria and then act like a novichok based nerve agent is not killing anyone! Sarin is deadly, but novichok agents are worse and since they are fourth level, meaning very new and resistant to much of our antidotes to use for survival of an attack…

Tidbit: VX is about 10X more powerful than sarin and a novichok agent is worse than VX…

Around the corner and under a tree…

Around the corner,
And under a tree,
A sergeant major,
Once said to me,
“Who would marry you?
I would like to know,
For every time I look at your face,
It makes me want to go
Around the corner,
And under a tree…

I am thinking…

My grandma taught me this song as a tiny boy. It seems to put life in a perspective that makes sense….her and I would tool on down the road in her 1945 Buick and fly on the hilly roads of life, singing this song at the top of our lungs…

Thus, I sing it all the time…
