Since these articles are being slammed, I am bringing them forward. This article was posted originally on Sept 29, 2007. Somethings may have changed, but it still is the same for we have been back several times since then…

Today I would like to talk about the Crimea. My wife (Svet) and I went to Yalta located in the Crimea for a vacation. She had told me that it was beautiful. Svet is from Russia and Crimea was part of Russia at one time. The area is full of sanitariums (rest and relaxation hotels) from the Soviet era. She had been there several times. But what she told me did not prepare me for the real beauty. I was stunned!!

The country was the most beautiful and stunning country that I have ever seen. I was mouth hanging open, dumb founded, and stuttering over what I saw.

The Black Sea was magnificent to behold. It was so clear that you could see the bottom, even at the ends of the docks where the large sea going tankers were tied up. The Black Sea was like a living creature, it had a noise that was not like a sandy beach. The beaches that I saw were round pebbles, that chattered when the waves went in and out. It was so unlike any American beach I had ever seen. No trash floating anywhere. No broken bottles. No needles washing up on the beach. Very clean…

Yalta, was an experience. My abilities as a driver were challenged. The roads were very narrow and many one ways. Needless to say an hour drive in Yalta was enough to turn anyone away from driving. But after I found the Yalta McDonald’s, I was a happy camper. The food was just like America but much cheaper. Much cheaper!!! By the way, The whole world loves McDonald’s as much as America. That may not be a good thing though…

Near Yalta we stayed at the Yalta Hotel, a hotel built in Soviet times. I want to go on record as saying, I LOVED THIS HOTEL! It cost 50 American Dollars a night, I felt like a King. The staff was wonderful, the eating establishments, top notch! The rooms clean and well kept. They say it was better during the Soviet era, I would love to have seen it then!!

The pictures, 1. McDonald’s in Yalta, 2. Yalta, 3. The Black Sea, 4. The Sea and its pebble beach, 5. The Hotel Yalta.

So this was just one part of Crimea, I have my favorite part of Crimea to talk about. That’s another day!! A hint: The Mountains!

I am done being threatened with death, dismemberment and bodily harm. I am done being threatened with what will happen if I dare to step on the USA soil again. I am done with being threatened with what my government will do to me by drones and such. I am done and that means that I am severing all ties with people from the U.S…

I found several so called friends that are reporting to the D.C. in the U.S. of A. and I have been watching how people will sneak and tell behind your back, so that their little asses are clear of the crushing boot, that boot that you all are getting from your government as I write this article. You are not safe and play any game with yourself you want, but you are living in a very bad country and freedom, liberty and rights are nothing but an illusion, an illusion that is painted daily for you. You are saturated so heavily with propaganda that you have lost the ability to see the truth…

The main thing is that you do not want to know the truth…

I told you years ago that we were paying people in Ukraine to riot and cause issues. I told you that I watched the money exchanging hands. I watched personally and no one cares. So you definitely do not care now, anymore than then…

I told you about what I knew about Georgia and the U.S. involvement in 2008. You don’t care now and you definitely did not care then…

I warned you years ago and many times since then, that Russia was changing directions and east was the new west…

I warned you that China and Russia had developed ties that are unprecedented in history and now those tiers have solidified…

I warned you that India and Russia would develop solid connections and turn together from the west…

I have given hints to you about what I have experienced in life and what I know as facts of how we as a country have destroyed other countries. With these facts, people in the west run and hide and never are seen again. They do not want the truth, because truth means responsibility…

I have made it clear that the world is getting tired of the crap and that crap is now starting to come home to roost. America runs the playground and it runs like this: The bully looks around at all the scared kids playing and says, “Am I Right?” The others look at the ground and mumble, “yes,” as they fear what the twice bigger kid will do to their faces if they stand up to him…

I have told you a ton of information within the pages of this website and you ignore that vital information, or you ridicule that information…

The end has been reached for me:

I received an e-mail from Washington D.C. a few days ago. It was one that matches close enough to many that I have received and it was about the fact that I have been targeted. I am targeted if I cross the border and I am targeted because of my terrorist activities! Now that is a good one…

Than I realized that just talking about why the government needs to be changed in America and why we need new leaders is all it takes to be censored, threatened and targeted. I am officially a terrorist in the USA governments eyes. I do not conform and I do not want or expect any relationship or connection with the American government…

Ukraine was the end of my patience and I realize that I am very upset at what happened in Ukraine. I also realized that so many people from America who love Ukraine have slid into the safe zone and forgot what started all the happenings in Ukraine. They simply are scared and can not tell the truth, so the truth becomes what keeps them from being booted upon…

I have been threatened for the last time and I will take the steps to assure that I will not be murdered as I travel and enjoy the world. The U.S. does not have the right to threaten people, be they citizens or not and I have been threatened for the last time…

Time to get divorced…

Events in and concerning Crimea have raised to fever pitch the cacophony in the West over Ukraine. For one observer, there are some fundamental questions that seem to apply from the very beginning of the crisis and which seem important in understanding the broader context.

1. Why did the U.S. and the West cry “unconstitutional foul” on the vote in the Crimean parliament to reunite with Russia, while endorsing and abetting the overthrow of an elected president in Kiev. This was clearly an unconstitutional act since President Viktor Yanukovych, although venal, incompetent and corrupt, was just that — a democratically elected president?

Does anyone in the U.S. administration know history? Do they know that the core of Russian identity was born in Kiev?

2. What is the West’s moral high ground in preaching democracy, rule of law and good governance to Russia and to the rest of the world while supporting a coup? Are these ethical imperatives placed on hold in the case of a regime that the West disapproves of?

3. Why do similar double standards prevail in our approach to self-­determination? Kosovo was historically linked to Serbia, yet we invoked the secessionist right of the Albanian majority. Crimea is historically Russian — a 200-year history dating back to Catherine the Great, which was artificially rewritten in 1954 in the form of an internal transfer to Ukraine within the then-Soviet Union. Do we conclude that the rules of the self-determination game change when the irredentist impulses involve those who would unite with Russia — South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Crimea?

4. How can we possibly welcome the interim government in Kiev as a unifying force when its leaders have exploited the east-west divide in the country by sending loyal governors from the western regions of the country to Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk, thus inflaming the pro-Russia majority? Or by appointing just two eastern figures in the 19 new ministries? Or by including in the government six representatives of ultra-right forces, including the Svoboda movement, denounced in a 2012 European parliament resolution as “xenophobic, racist and anti-Semitic”?

5. Why does the West not understand that threats do not work with Putin’s Russia? Reports from Moscow suggest that there is a widespread conviction — even among those opposed to Putin — that the U.S. and the European Union have gone too far in meddling in the Ukraine crisis. It is certainly true to say that among Russians, Putin has been strengthened by the standoff with the West. This is reinforced by a sense of lese-majeste on the part of the U.S.-led West toward Russia in the post-Soviet era. As one scholar put it, the two decades after the end of the Cold War have offered Russia a deal “closer to Versailles than Bretton Woods” — or certainly the Marshall Plan.

6. Does anyone in the U.S. administration understand history? History might remind us that the very ideal of “Rus” —that is, the core of Russian identity — was born in Kiev centuries before Moscow was founded. Ukraine will never be “just another country” to Russians, or for that matter to the 30 percent of those of Russian origin who live in Ukraine. The U.S.’ own history also takes us back almost 200 years to the Monroe Doctrine, whereby the U.S. reserved the right to resist and turn back any foreign adventurism on the entire American continent — a right Washington has invoked.

7. Why have the U.S. and the West rejected outright the tripartite EU-Russia-Ukraine solution tentatively advanced by Russia that would avoid the zero-sum choice forcing Ukraine into an us-versus- them cul-de-sac? This is basically what was proposed by former defense and foreign ministers of Russia, Poland and Britain three months ago.

8. Why, oh why, does the U.S.’ distinguished former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, think it is in any way helpful to make comparisons between Russia’s actions in Crimea and Hitler’s annexation of Austria? Consider, again, the history of Ukraine and Crimea. This is especially gauche, if not politically cynical, in the context of a country in which many recall pro-Nazi collaboration in western Ukraine in the 1940s.

I was amazed at the western press and the news yesterday: euronews – The leader of an Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus, Doku Umarov has been declared dead on the group’s website. Described as Russia’s most wanted man, Umarov is believed to have been responsible for several deadly bombings. It is not known how he died but the website said the rebel leader had already been replaced. (Link)

This made me laugh because awhile back I was reading about and watching a video about the fact that Doku Umarov was pinned inside a house and had no way to escape. I suspected that it was released before the Olympics to point out a fact that Russia hunted this guy down in a massive effort and shut him down for good. The word was that since he was invincible, he would cause issues at the Olympics…

This is being brought out now because like the death of Osama bin Laden, the death of Doku Umarov has been used at the time of betterment for public opinion…

They both were dead before they were allowed to be dead in the public eyes…

So why did this just get picked up as news? I do not know! I read about it over a month ago (actually two months ago) and ignored it, because it was old news then. I knew a few months before that, through the local Russians news and grapevine that he had been cornered and killed…

Why even the guy who made the video below figured it out and went on in the video to claim that the Olympics would blown to hell or something like that. As we know that definitely did not happen! Did it? He made this video and posted it January 17th, 2014….

Hmm! He is dead but the fact is that we do not exactly know when he died…

Sounds familiar…

I call this: “A video to prove to the paymasters in the west that the paid servants are doing their job…”

I hope that the information is finally starting to filter through to people in the West that when Russians call the new Ukrainian government fascists they’re not even exaggerating. It’s actually true – the general prosecutor, the head of defense and security, the education minister and the deputy prime minister are members of a neo-Nazi group (Svoboda). Even Europe’s far right parties are disowning them – Jobbik (in Hungary) and the BNP (in Britain) want nothing to do with them, and are actually supporting Russia in the Crimea dispute. That’s a bizarre state of affairs, when the Ukrainian government is so extremist that they lose the support of European ultra-nationalists, and…

Yet the U.S. State Department continues to support them and offer them money. It’s not just bizarre, it’s criminally insane…

Time to wake up people and quit hiding your head in the sand…

“I feel happy. I feel happy for my country for the first time since 1989. I feel kinda like revenge. After 23 years on the knee, my country is getting up and that’s great!” Sveta…

I asked Sveta to write down what she said to me at supper last night. The above quote is what she said. Read it again and come back, please. No read it and understand what she is saying to me and to you…

This is what America has stepped in and since they created the feelings that have been hidden in the first place, those feelings are naturally going to come to the surface when we (America) start the same underhanded techniques again. Russians watched carefully at what was happening in Ukraine and when the west played into the Nazi deck of cards and Germany dealt the hand. A transformation happened in Russia and feelings from so many years ago have leaped to the surface and exploded all over the horizon in Russia…

Putin and the Kremlin never could have asked for a better thing to happen and they most likely could never have charged the Russian people into this state, without the west falling “hook line and sinker” into a trap set in Ukraine. Then the west even expressed the finally act of stupidity and they looked like this, “Senator John McCain stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the leader of one of the rising Neo-Nazi parties in the country.”

Yes he (McCain) did and that means, yes we (America) did also…

Sveta is a tried and true Soviet and she like a huge portion of the population in Russia have very strong hidden feelings about what happened years ago and the fact is that everyone is sick and tired of the US and EU trying to shove the western way of life up their ass. This Ukraine intervention has set off a chain reaction…

Crimea is now Russian and according to what I am hearing and seeing, Russians will and are wanting to change and take back what they lost, by the likes of crooked western paid politicians in the first place…

The more that the US and the EU push, the more resistance that Russia will mount in return and will build that wall of defense higher and higher against a financially devastated western world. The Russia people have reached that point of no return, something Americans have not had to deal with, for way to long and have forgotten what it is like to do without. Russians will thrive and survive without and since they do without many times now. They already have the west beat, hands down…

Sveta truly was beaming at the fact that the Krim or Crimea as some call it, was brought back into the Russians arms, for safe keeping. The Krim has a deep place in Russian history and I saw the love for the Krim many times as I listened to people talk about the past as Soviets there…

Why to my surprise and to many Russians surprise, Gorby weighed in to the situation:

Nobel Peace Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev welcomed the outcome of the referendum in the Crimea. He considers that the conditions for joining the Crimea to Russia has been met. He said, “The majority of the population in the Crimea, hailed the end of the Ukrainian country.” and thus he also said, “The people (on the peninsula) want it, and that means that you have to meet up with them.” and this also, “The people have had the opportunity to say in a referendum their opinion, and that is a good thing!”

Bottom line of all this is simple…

The more the west pushes, lies, cheats, plays games and acts two faced and is immoral. The chances of Ukraine’s eastern and southern half becoming Russian, grow exponentially…

For when the devil is on your door step, it is time to bitch slap him, back across the pond…

Since the people in America are too busy watching Hollywood and such. Then it is time for a rude awakening…

The best solution would be to cease and desist using the US dollar by the world, all trade to be conducted using only local currencies, gold, silver and or other barter trades. Do not buy from America to start with, extend that to Europe if needed. Use the Euro to change direction quickly and let the Euro “watch” the dollar die a horrid death. Tell the Euro you are next if you do not straighten up…

The EU Euro users will become a model citizen in two seconds flat…

The United States and the European Union have rejected the Crimea vote as “illegal” So what are they saying? That the people of Crimea has no say in their future and that they (west) will decide for them!

One thing we need to be aware of is that the United Terrorist States of America is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic. Within the constitution there is no mention of democracy…

So what does one expect from a terrorist state such as the USA?

The west crossed a red line, the same that they ran into with Syria. They crossed it back during the Libyan fiasco and lies. That red line is serious to a country like Russia and also China. Now the west being lead by America, beats the drums of war, walked straight into a trap. That is what happens when checker players try to play chess…

Now the west has crossed that line directly in the face of Russia and when Russia forgot to run away and cry, America/West, beat her chest, cried, whined, threatened, poked, stabbed, threw money around, laid on the floor and held its breath and did a dozen other childish things like the aforementioned…

I will say this after watching Putin today declare the Crimea as Russian: “Russia is not bluffing and if you want a war? They will give you that war! For the west has stepped into Russia’s backyard and Russians do not bluff, they play Russian Roulette and we all know about that!” Also, “The main thing to remember is that Russia will not start that war, but the fact is they will end that war! As they have done many times in their past!”

My country, that everyday I lose more and more respect for, has gone too far and gone against someone who does not look at life as a political playground. Russia is being lead by a man who makes decisions based on real facts and not how it will benefit his pocketbook. The situation that has to be realized is the Russian sober reality compared to illustrations of grander, as presented in the west…

Putin said it real clear today, when he said in his speech something like this, as best as I can translate it: “The west does not like it when Russia calls a Spade a Spade!” Or other words, “tell it like it is…”

I want the USA to stop the crap and go away. I mean that with all my heart, I want the USA to quit hurting the world and go away! I want the USA to grow up and become one with the world and support the world in growth and harmony…

That maybe asking too much, but I can dream…

I will keep telling it like it is, for we are in a “World Media War” and I have chosen a side to battle for…

This is some of the thousand images that we took. I may post more later as in tomorrow, but we will see. There are 18 total images and the page is only split if you come to the post on the front page. It is just too large of a post and I wanted you to see the images in full size. So just click MORE and have a look…

The hypocrisy of the west is out of control and it disgusts me as an American. I’m tired of my country crapping on international law when it suits their interests and then posing as the defender when it suits their interests…

Facts for the Krim vote:

• 96% + voted for Crimea to join Russia
• 02.5% + or – miniscule amounts voted for Crimea to remain a sovereign autonomous republic inside the Ukraine
• less than 1% of the votes were declared invalid
• 83% + or – miniscule amounts of the eligible voters participated in this referendum (thus + or – a miniscule amount at around 17%, did not vote)

The truth about the Krim’s future is in the numbers above…

We are being media manipulated. Just as always. For the nefarious purposes of unknown entities that have something to gain from all of this in Ukraine. We have a very serious problem, (we all have in the world,) and that is our news is propaganda, not news reporting. I scour the internet to try to get the various accounts of our current events. I probably am not as informed as I would like to be, but I know the MSM is a failing prospect when it comes to getting reliable information…

I see clearly that the US totally disregards the fact that the coup that drove Yanukovych to flee for his life was in violation of the Ukrainian constitution, while simultaneously decrying the Sunday election as being in violation of the constitution. Of the two, one being a violent coup and the other being an election in Crimea, however hastily conducted, the outcome of which probably did, in fact, represent the will of the majority of voters, which is more of a violation of the constitution and why should one be ignored and the other touted as a legitimate basis for imposing sanctions on Russia and rattling sabers in a most dangerous manner?

I believe that the US fomented the unrest in Ukraine (and in Venezuela and in Chile and in…) for its own geopolitical goals, primary of which is tightening the economic and military noose around Russia (which the US promised Gorbachev it would not do) by installing a government that will request membership in (or affiliation with) NATO and will accept installation of US missiles. I also regard this as criminally stupid behavior by the pitifully weak Obama which Putin must resist…

In the past the US threatened nuclear Armageddon over the completely legal Russian installation of missiles in Cuba, separated from the US by 90 miles of ocean. How does it expect Russia to react to the US fomenting a fascist, anti-Russian coup in a former part of the Soviet Union with a long border with Russia?

The propagandists are NOT all-powerful. Seeds of truth about the MSM’s propaganda role are falling on already fertile ground. There’s hope for our future and there is hope for truth…
