My very tough and successful phone is a Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus.

I jimmied rigged a case for it and have been very happy for a very long time now. I took a side flip case and chopped it up and created a bottom flip phone case. Ugly, but it works and I am happy… 😉

I bought it because of the OS was Cyanogenmod and that sold me upon the phone. The quality is something that I hoped was good and by it being from a British company, I had high hopes. Cyanogenmod failed us buyers of the phone real quick and that caused Wileyfox to scramble and successfully (?) switch us all to the latest and greatest Android. They worked hard at the transformation and are still working at what should have been a dream phone with Cyanogenmod…. The Android 7 works okay and is appropriate for just a normal user…

I love the phone and it hardware wise has excelled beyond what I could have imagined for such a cheap price. It was only around 7000 rubles by the time I bought it…. This phone is excellent, except for the software. This is something that I finally solved…

I tried Lineage 13, Lineage 14, MIUI 8, Android 6, Android 7, plus several other oddball ROMS and even tried staying with the original OS Cyanogenmod. They all failed in many ways. Mostly from butter smooth Android, using the battery up at a hellish pace, to the original OS being still green under the hood. Not everything worked with LineageOS and the MIUI 8 I found was weak and buggy. Then I found a Russian MIUI site… https://miui.su/

This homepage above will take you to a download page…. https://miui.su/download – From that download page you can download the best OS I have found for Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus >>> https://miui.su/firmware_manager/model_view/388/

Install TWRP first… >>> https://twrp.me/devices/wileyfoxswift2.html

Instructions are simple and once you have the correct recovery installed. Go to town and install all the ROMS you can find (One at a time please.) Just do not blame me for blowing up your phone…. and or called bricking it…. This is for only and only the smartphone series by Wileyfox, called (Swift 2) and or (Swift 2 Plus) and or (Swift 2X) with the Marmite designation…. Only! Yes Only!

https://miui.su/firmware_manager/firmware/download/15639/

The link above is the actual ROM and it is called – (miuisu_v6.0.1_marmite_7.7.6) – which makes it based off of Marshmallow Android…

Simply put; It is a damn fine ROM and will stay as my main driver until the phone finally dies. I get three days of battery out of it, the GPS works perfect, the phone part works perfect and is smooth as a babies backside…

Great phone…. It went to Estonia and in a week (5 days) I only had to charge it once…

Putin speaks the truth. He is absolutely right that those countries who deal with Russia because they perceive Russia to do as it says and state its own interests without hidden agenda. He is also right that things change. One hopes he talks about Saudi relations and the notion of talking to everyone. The interviewer had some odd gesture issues…

It is a long, but very good informative video, about the direction the world is headed…

Why am I pissed?

I am an American and this kind of ignorance on the part of my government is what ruins life for Americans around the world…. This is what makes it hard to deal with other humans in the world. We are not the end all of all ends!

The western press acts like it is all Russia’s fault…

WTH – America started this mess and people like me have to live with the ignorance of our governments actions…

Bottom line:

First: Moscow (CNN)Russia has described any possible conditions set by Washington to return two of the country’s diplomatic compounds in the US that were closed down late last year as “unacceptable.” The two compounds, in New York State and Maryland, have sat empty since then-President Barack Obama closed them in December as part of sanctions imposed against the Russian government for its alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Russia waited a about a year to allow America to get her act together…

The U.S. has been asked to cut its number of staff in Russia to 455, the same number of Russian diplomats currently in the U.S. Those cuts will be made not just at the embassy in Moscow, but also the consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Vladivostok.

Russia’s other move was to deny access to two diplomatic compounds in Moscow. One is a warehouse in the southern part of the city used by U.S. diplomats. The other is a kind of vacation home that the Times describes as “a bucolic site along the Moscow River where staff members walk their dogs and hold barbecues.”

So it was obviously an issue on the part of America and Obama at that time. We admit it, but now we slide the blame against others. Instead of America getting her act together, she has thrown a temper tantrum…

Yes I am pissed!

This effects me as a human and right now what little care I had for the government of America has been sent down the drain. Trump is bought and paid for, Our government is a chaotic mess of snakes and your TV dinner is getting cold!

Have a nice day…

I had a commentator who had a great idea… (Thank you Vladimir.)

While the original template is lost for WtR due to hacking and deliberate destruction. The site called…

https://web.archive.org/web/20170309142235/http://windowstorussia.com

Has a copy of WtR in the recent past. In fact I had forgotten about this site and was kindly reminded and able to recover much of the lost data…

Therefore, I will work on the site, for it took several years to get WtR to the point is was and will take time to get it back kinda like it was. Thus, it is on its way and resembles for the most part what we had, before destroyed…

Pingdom testing is good…

And Pagespeed by Google is good…. Mobile at 95 out of a 100 and Desktop 93 out of a 100. I will rest with that for a few days. I have spent hours trying to recover some of what we had before… Far from the best of before, but good enough for now…

I want it understood that WtR has been under attack for many years. We always get back up and running quickly time and time again. I do not ignore this site, for it is part of me and is important. I guess that is why it is attacked so often and as almost always, it is attacked from the American Government…

I promise you that if this site was a “Hate Russia” site, I would be wealthy in money and never having a site attacked. This is the issue at hand. Simply put; The American system of Gov. and judicial, has spent many years, from lowly military guard shacks and the computers within them, rooms of computers at everything from prisons, DC itself and many other military bases all over the world, all owned and operated by the USA, have attacked this blog. WtR has been attacked by all forms of Judicial ways and means, from lawsuits, threats and having companies such as GoDaddy eg. shut us down with no warning…

You should never wonder why I keep writing? I will probably be writing as they put a bullet in my head…

I will not shut up, for we (Americans) are wrong and the way we are taught to see the world is wrong…

Wake up people…

Double Entendre…

dou·ble en·ten·dreˌ do͞obl änˈtändrə,ˌ dəbl änˈtändrə/ a noun…
noun: double entendre; plural noun: double entendres…

A word or phrase open to two interpretations, one of which is usually risqué or indecent.
Synonyms: ambiguity, double meaning, innuendo, play on words
“Much of the comedy is derived from racy double entendres!”
Humor using double entendres…

I try to learn a new word everyday. It does not help me to write on the blog, for most words are beyond what people anymore are able to understand. Therefore, you have to write at a 8th grade or less level. Not a good sign of humanity if you ask me…

Though nevertheless, I try to learn a new word everyday. If I come across a word that I have never seen? I look it up and see about its usage in my life…

Yesterday: Double Entendre…

It instantly brought to mind the state that America is in…

Many words do bring America to mind, such as chaos, turmoil, cheat, instigator and many more. Many words have been pushed aside when I think of America. Freedom, liberty and justice for all come to mind as I write this article…

The American Indians would have said, “Forked Tongue”…

By golly they were correct and now China and Russia are seeing it first hand…. Actually all of the world is seeing it and attitudes are changing, things will never go back to what they were in the past…. America was founded upon Double Entendre and its meaning…

A double entendre is a phrase that can be interpreted two ways….

“My way and or the highway”, is Americas best interpretation of herself…

Be careful world…

In the past I spoke about Gas becoming King over oil…

And I was hated for this article + many years ago…

Natural Gas is Taking Over The Throne…

Serious hate came the way of WtR…

Russia: Will Oil Lose Its Crown?

I have mentioned it several times and every time I mention Gaz and or Gas, meaning natural gas. Hate flows at WtR…

* * * * *

I have also mentioned SCO…

Russia: Medvedev at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s (SCO) two-day summit!

Excerpt: I learn something new everyday and this is it.

The East will grow as the West will stagnate! Moscow pulls ever father from the European roots! & encompasses the Asian roots: Seems to me that Europe has forgotten its Eastern roots and has embraced the Western Military Monolith!

Interesting to watch this unfold over the years. Gives you an understanding at why the dying Western Empire is thrashing about and creating and murdering all over the world…

Gotta keep that power base at all costs and it is really hard to build a pipeline across the oceans to feed gaz to the brunt of the world. Isolation will catch up and it is knocking at the door right now…

Petrol dollar has a limited life span…. But Gaz and or Gas is in beautiful plentiful supply…. But you gotta get it there cheaply…. And the image at the top of the article is the new power of the world. Yes there time will come and fall, but it is happening before our eyes…

Truth is Russians think that America has lost its mind and most of the world thinks the same. Even if they speak behind closed doors, an erratic superpower with chaotic tendencies is not becoming to a stable world…

Lets hope Trump steers in the correct direction and stifles the thousands of American (and not so American) wannabe Hitlers and Napoleons trying to garner power by using America as a dart board…

I like the fact that Trump Twitters his thoughts… Good or Bad, who cares? I don’t…

Better yet! Time for a bunch more, “You’re Fired!”

By John Stanton

“Temporal compression, as it is technically called, is an event that concretely modifies everyone’s daily life at the same time. In the face of this acceleration of daily life, fear has become an environment even in a time of peace. We are living in the accident of the globe, the accident of instantaneous simultaneity and interactivity that have now gained the upper hand over ordinary activities…With the phenomena of instantaneous interaction that are now our lot, there has been a veritable reversal, destabilizing the relationship of human interactions and the time reserved for reflection in favor of the conditioned responses produced by emotion… Promoting progress means that we are always behind: on the high-speed Internet, on our Facebook profile, on our email inbox. There are always updates to be made: we are the objects of daily masochism and under constant tension.” The Administration of Fear, Paul Virillio

The electromagnetic/digital storm emanating from television, computer and cell phone screens flood the neural pathways of the brain drowning synapses. The ferocious digital winds from the storm twist and rattle axons, neurons and dendrites like the winds from a powerful thunderstorm that shears leaves off of trees and bends branches to and fro. The lightning strikes from this digital storm randomly sever connections in the cerebral cortex, just as a lightning strike violently amputates the limbs from a tree. And, at times, the electromagnetic field and its constituents, now having translated itself into images, sounds and text, crash into the cerebral cortex send shock waves through the entire structure of the brain down to the base of the spinal cord. The cerebral cortex has been trashed.

The New Cocaine?

The digital storm, though ultimately damaging, is stimulating. It rushes to find the nucleus accumbens and floods it with dopamine which the hippocampus, in turn, ‘memorizes’ as rapid stimulus for satisfaction or pleasure. The amygdala then ‘records’ the event making sure that the human response is ‘conditioned’ to find pleasure and, indeed, seek it out desperately. The brain reboots itself and in so doing its human face. Addiction ensues and brains/humans change.

The digital storm forms a ‘new brain’ and, hence, human character. Transmogrification becomes complete. Perhaps it’s all evolution’s plan. But interesting symptoms appear indicating this could be devolution.

The addiction to the digital storm is so overwhelming that the brain creates a punishing craving mechanism: connection insecurity. Its emotion is fear, the fear of not being connected, or being seen, or taking part in the social scene. It’s the fear of missing out on the daily on-line world and being MIA to comment on the latest incidental text, image or sound. To eliminate connection insecurity the brain creates an addiction that resembles the cocaine addict’s frenzied search for more having snorted up the buy and the stash.

Don’t See Me, Touch Me, Read Me

You can see it in the mothers and fathers that push their infant children down the sidewalk talking into the cell-phone rather than talking to the child. What does that child store in the brain? Gossip? Recipes? Sports trivia?

Or at the family dinner table where adults and children feel compelled to check email or take calls not wishing to be offline for 60 minutes at Sunday dinner. Worse still, the dinner hosts have to remind the cell-phone users to ‘please silence your cell-phones’ as if in the movie theater.

And walking down the street, the ability to say ‘good morning or good evening’ has been eroded as everyone seems to be working a conversation via the cell-phone or looking down at email. It’s a world of people walking with their heads-down on the street. It’s heads-down in elevators, offices and even in church pews on Sunday.

The brain’s pause and contemplative thought functions have been degraded and exist like abandoned and rusty rail road tracks. The brain has replaced these two elements with a reflexive response mechanism from the unconscious and unfiltered mind.

Such is the mind of the President of the United States, Donald Trump and his penchant for Twitter, television and newspapers. His thinking, like the bulk of the American citizenry, is limited to 150 characters a thought. Producing 150 characters is an exhaustive effort for most these days. No doubt, a student has been assigned to describe the novel War and Peace in 150 characters. Tell us what is unique about your life in 150 characters, they’ll ask.

And don’t dare write an article of more than 500-750 words on a subject, because ‘readers’ will not stick with it, they say. ‘Give me all bullet points, our President says.

When in falling asleep, or in your dreams, you ‘see’ text scrolling vertically / horizontally (and you can read some of it) or you observe images of computer screens with data displayed (which you can interpret) your brain and you have been altered. And when you notice that these images start to appear in your recurring dreams and it seems to be altering your deepest consciousness, it’s probably time to seek shelter from the digital storm. Think about it, if you can.

“’She watches with the raptor’s eye, trained on distance as she is, and dark—so when she turns to what is close, so intimate and huge, she keeps the gift of sight beyond herself, neither sentimental or detached….’Who, indeed, watches the passing show with the raptor’s eye? Couple the quick tweet and modalities of social networking with the videoing and blogging obsession, immersion in video games, overtime on the Internet and the constant interruption of face to face interaction by the cell phone, and you have a recipe for attention deficit in the life world. What are educational institutions to do in the culture of online engrossment and the fast electronic update?

I see that Starbucks has become a battleground of sorts.

Playing one type of personality against another, hoping to win the bag of gold in the end result…

McDonald’s tried that same thing and got their ass handed to them…

I was a brew master in that company (Starbucks,) my company, had us go and take classes to make that wonderful cup of very expensive coffee. Millions of dollars was spent to become brew masters, we had thousands of managers that went over a year period of time.I got a wonderful certificate about how I became a special type of person and could then sell and make Starbucks coffee…

It was then (Many years ago,) that I saw first hand the push for liberalism at its finest. The classes had nothing to do with making coffee as much as pushing an agenda, upon managers of other companies across America and Europe…

I saw McDonald’s doing this same thing and they almost lost their shirts in business, recently. Still debatable if they will survive as the king of fast food or not. Starbucks is saying that they are the best and that they have the only way, or the highway. Sounds familiar and that is, it seems the American mistake attitude…. It also is the sound of a company that is trying to convince you and themselves that all is good…

Grow comes in many forms within a company and expansion with debt accumulation, is one of those types of growths, to cover up the sins of poor product and management and policies…

A large regular coffee at Starbucks typically goes for $2.45 while a large McDonald’s coffee costs around $1.49 and can often be had for $1 due to promotions.

Now folks: The coffee at McDonald’s is literally the same coffee that Starbucks has.

Say what you want, but coffee comes from just a few spots on earth. Kinda like tires for your car. That cheap brand is most likely made by the same company that makes your expensive tires…. I went to South America as a buyer for coffee, years ago, I know where coffee comes from…

You get what you deserve if you sip a cup of Starbucks. I know the food service industry, I know where McDonald’s coffee comes from, I know where Starbucks coffee comes from and I know where and how to make good coffee. But I also know that the cup of coffee I make at home is vastly superior to anything Starbucks makes, or McDonald’s and or your favorite coffee shop…

It is not rocket science and it is not hard and it is definitely cheaper to make a great cup of coffee at home. Or work. Or what ever. Even a freeze-dried coffee is superior to Starbucks… (OMG! Did he just say freeze-dried coffeeeeeeeee? No way you damn commie!) 🙂

Get your priorities straight and wake up…

Russia has stepped up the defensive posture of the country…

And Russia cares to keep others from stealing her resources and keep the devil at bay…. (Especially a run amok piece of crap like America has become…. You can be an asshole, but be smart about being that Ass! That is the key to it all. We have become all into ourselves…)

Manufacturing of defensive weapons in Russia is running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year for about 10 years now. Anti-missile missiles have been being installed at a furious pace all over the country. Big country! But it is being done. Enough according to experts that they can stop a first wave attack in literally full. Second wave attack is what is being worked on now, as more and more defense levels are built up…

What this means is that if Russia is attacked, they will be able to retaliate and retaliate they will. The Western Empire is playing with fire and while Russians may all be exterminated, so will you. It is a sad thing we have come to…

I am being point blank here…

We, the Western Empire, are not all that and we are not special. We have to stop the crap. Leave Iran alone. Leave China alone. Leave Russia alone. Leave the world alone and stop the wannabe world rulers. The humans of the world suck! The ones who care about the world, sit back and play with themselves and we watch while the world wannabe dictators, play there war games. This has gone too far and too long and too much…

China, Iran and Russia are all waiting for the attack against one of them. They will stand together and they will bring it to the Western Empires doorstep…

Fact… Do you really think you are so special? That you will survive a nuclear war?

Do you really study your search results on Google?

I mean look at what you get for results! It is censored and manipulated and all you have to do is think as you search. Try it and really watch what you are doing. Search for something that you know is true, have seen, have studied and then watch the results. If those return results are possibly against certain entities and or products and or companies and or countries. The results will be biased. That bias goes what ever way the political flow is at that moment…

Just take an example: Obama information was censored in the expressions of hate against him. Trump and the expressions of hate against him are promoted… Fact Jack and we are to blame for allowing it to happen, unheeded…

I may take a excursion to the Big Village today. The weather is going to turn very bad and the bridge across the river is going to wash out very soon. Spring is here, but in Russia, Spring means lots and lots of snow. It will melt, then lots and lots of mud. So maybe I will take advantage of the warmer weather (-1) and trot to town today and buy some Bear treats. I need them after the crap I watch coming from the untilled Western Empire…

I guess I will stop. I feel better now! 🙂

America: She really is, “The Empire of Lies and Chaos”…

I have been following this situation and I have even asked questions all around. Then a few days ago, I saw the chess moves by Putin and realized once again; Russia plays Chess and America plays Checkers…

One of my news sources and a source closely tied to Iran is Farsnews. I have talked about how I will read all news and if you really want to see the whole story, you must read foreign press and you must learn which news outlets are affiliated with governments. For every site has truth and most in the east have much more truth than in the west. This is the only way that truth comes out and most of what I say on this blog is from dozens of sites at the same time and a messing of the truth bits that spring up like flowers after a rain storm…

http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13950430001452 : Farsnews four days ago said this in the linked article. My suspicions were being fortified at this point. Farsnews is very accurate, if not always upsetting to western press/western governments most of the time…

Then this http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/07/turkey-coup-attempt-intelligence-agency-thwart.html

AlMonitor confirmed what I knew was happening and I still hear only crickets chirping in the western world about the game they started, as it is going south for the winter. I will let you read the articles if you desire. It would be good for you to expand your horizons and look around and get out of that western press mindset…

(Oh, and the purging in Turkey? This is the most massive purge of foreign sympathetic 5th columns I have ever seen in my life time and it should show you to what extent that the west will infiltrate and spend money to control you as a people!)

There is tons more information about this, but, this is in English…

Therefore, I asked myself and many others; Did Russia have anything to do with the Turkey situation?

Blatantly obvious: Yes!

And…

It answers why! Well at least to me it does. But then I do not look at the Western Empire as a Golden Tower of the gods, gleaming in the sunshine for all to worship. I see a crumbling Whore Empire that desperately wants to hold on to her vestiges of power, even if she has to sell her soul to keep it one day longer…

She really is, “The Empire of Lies and Chaos”…

* * * * * * * * * *

Erdogan and Putin? Chess and Checkers? West and East? Good and Evil?

The above in bold letters statement is for all you Hollywood types, who have to have it plain and simple…

But it is not that simple as that bold statement. You have to add Iran, China and many more into the equation. The lines are being drawn, the games have commenced, the chess players are against the checker players and what goes on behind closed doors is something we have no privy about…

Pretty simple; Russia tipped off Turkey about a coup! Russia saved Erdogan’s life! Iran seems to have supplied the intel! America was caught with her pants down or skirt up! The coup was forced into chaos, by being discovered! Consolidation of the east is firming as you read this! The East knows war is coming! The players are picking sides!

I will say this; Desperation makes you weak! Being cornered makes you strong! Chess is intelligence! Checkers is “Fast and Furious!” Games should be played seriously and not as a manipulation device! Solidification of foes, creates better wartime allies! Stand back and allow your opposition to hang himself, then strike the killing blow as they wiggle on the rope! Always know that someone bigger and or stronger than you will take you down! The European’s have to choose a side! India has to grow up and gets some balls! We just saw Israel start changing direction! China will step off the fence in the direction she is leaning! AND Japan has to come home to the east…

The world which is much larger than what the west likes to admit in population, has almost reached a point of no return. The Bully Empire has shoved people around so long, that she thinks the world really likes and or even loves to be shoved and given a black eye. The Western Empire really thinks she deserves to be the world policeman. I saw this turning point when we illegally attacked Libya and murdered Qaddafi. The disbelief was resounding all over the world and the Western Empire made a huge mistake in that situation. It opened a bunch of eyes to the hate, cruelty, murder and evil of the Western Empire as Libya lays in raped antecedence by the west…

May God Helps Us All, for it will get much worse, before it gets better…

I have now decided to change the flow of the post. My choice…

I want to thank the people who have sent in donations. There has been several in the last week and Sveta and I and yes Boza, want to thank you for the money being sent. It really does help and it really is needed. Because of donations, the windowstorussia.com domain is paid up and secure. It also makes me realize that I am accomplishing something and there are those who see what is happening…

Windows to Russia runs 500 plus unique a day. Most over that! I have my system to only record a hit if you have never been here. Page views are much higher, for most read and read and read. Comments are not required and from experience, comments are only a deficit. But! The comment system we have now is working and keeps spam at a bare minimum. I enjoy real comments, but we have become armchair warriors and like to comment out our ass many times… 😉

I will respond to any and all donations, for they are the life blood of Windows to Russia. I really thought I would have to shut the site down from lack of funds at one time. This was after I exhausted my funds to move the site six times and defend the site from attacks by the western world. Attacks centered around stifling what I say…

Why stifle me when I am just a nut case right?

Just maybe I know things and just maybe I have seen things that we should not see! Just maybe, my past was wrong and helping to destroy countries and murder people, really is wrong. America had a choice to make, the high road or the low road. We chose the low road and all the trash associated with it. We chose to live near the docks at the waterfront and the crime associated with it. We chose to pedestalize ourselves and then flaunt it to the world, right in their faces…

We should look at ourselves and ask, “How did we get to the point?”

Men make counterfeit money; in many more cases, money makes counterfeit men. – Sydney J. Harris

Oh how true it is and until we decide that we all deserve what the world has to offer equally, we will never see the light at the end of the tunnel…

Our lives are centered around money. Nothing we do should have a price tag attached….We should live, for the world has the resources for all, not just a few….As it is right now, we are failing and or have possibly failed our mission on earth…

Why even I need money and that makes me sad. I am a willing victim of the system…
