MOSCOW, December 28 (Itar-Tass) — The Russian emergency airplane is flying to Egypt to take a Russian woman, who had the premature delivery during her vacations.

The airplane Il-76 took off at 11:23 Moscow time on Friday from the Moscow regional airfield Ramenskoye to Cairo, the information department of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations told Itar-Tass on Friday. “The emergency airplane is carrying the doctors from the emergency task force Tsentrospas and the all-Russia emergency medicine centre Zashchita. This special flight to Moscow will bring a Russian woman and her child, who need further treatment at the Russian clinic,” the information department said.

Meanwhile, the medical circles noted that the Russian citizen and her husband were on their vacations in Egypt. The woman was on the seventh month of pregnancy and had the premature delivery. The twins – a boy and a girl were born, but the boy did not survive.

But that is not what you would believe as you look at the news all over America. Lets look at the headline news for the USA, in fact lets look at something that seems to be a better show of what really is going on in the minds of Americans…

Twitter: The five biggest stories of 2012: (Link)

1. War with Instagram…

2. Twitter Cutting off Outside developers…

3. Big Bird and the presidential election…

4. Hurricane Sandy…

5. Twitter goes fully mainstream…

Well lets see…

Except for number “4. Hurricane Sandy,” I am flabbergasted at what is considered the most important stories in the US!

Why “Sandy Hook Elementary School” fresh in everyone’s mind did not even make the list, but heaven forbid! “War With Instagram” is number one and rising. We all know the guy who killed all those kids, but I bet you could not name one kid killed with out thinking hard first. You know those kids… Hmm!

Okay well that is Twitter and Twitter is full of Tweety Twits!

So lets go look at Google News…

When I asked Google for head line news that above is what I got and look even Twitter/Instagram was in the headlines… 🙂

I then asked Google about news for the fact that we (USA) will in 2013 most likely exceed 18 trillion in debt as a country. granted this is a way under reported debt as every government statistic is under reported, unless it behooves them to over report it and gain brownie points with propaganda…

I received a few off the wall articles, that have as much clout as Windows to Russia and so they will not get any Main Stream Press what so ever. Point being made is that no one cares that we are flat busted and broke! No one cares that instead of cutting spending we are going to tax our lives to death. No one cares that we are going to lose gun rights. No one cares that we kill children all over the world. No one cares about a damn thing, unless it satisfies your cravings for that given second…

The world view of America is this video (going on 8 million views): I got my Obama Phone…

The victims are always the last to be remembered and the wrongs we do as individuals or as a nation are pushed aside just like we push aside the names of the ones who died at Sandy Hill…

Now who killed them?

I don’t give a crap who killed them, he is dead and gone and that is good! What I do care about is that we ignore these deaths and just like these deaths we ignore millions of deaths we have caused or been part of all over the world. The problem is that we are not gone and we are not dead and that means that we will allow and cause many more children to be killed, maimed and disfigured. Everyday we send a drone to blow up a suspected insurgent. I have news for you…

Insurgents have families and insurgents, 90% of the time are just protecting their home and land. Just like you would do…

We need to remember that we are killing kids all over the world and just like the guy who slaughtered innocent people in a elementary school, we need to make sure that the reasons that children and people are being killed all over the world is ended. That means to do what ever it takes to remove the crap that runs our country and keep them from giving orders to kill and kill and kill and kill and kill…

We are so broke that we should not even be able to do all this killing, but we got ourselves as holder of the world currency and finance wars by the printing press. No other county can finance war like we do! They do not have the money even if they have the desire…

Yes I am mad and yes I am disgusted with people…

We worry about what China does! We worry about what Russia does! We worry about what Syria does! We worry about the whole world, while our world called the US is collapsing around us and all we care about is: What movie star is loosing weight and how they loose weight, who is the next big sports star and what happens when an imaginary Fiscal Cliff is met and we fall off? The fiscal cliff was met and we fell off a long time ago. We just play games like little children do when they play house on a rainy day….

Sorry to tell you this but raising the debt limit is like the old Popeye character Wimpy!

“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!”

How come we embedded this line in our kids brains and now we do not follow the meaning behind it? Oh maybe that is the problem, we take this as being correct instead of satirical and that is how you run life…

Oh, I have got to worry about Instagram! Even though I do not have an account, it is the most important thing in the Universe right now… 🙁

I keep reading how Americans are “baffled” that the Russian government would “use helpless children as pawns”…

Now you know how Russians felt when the U.S. government insisted on passing the Magnitsky Act, and when they saw that government apparently willing to expand the secret list to include officials who are perceived to be guilty of oppressing the political opposition in Russia, or lawmakers who supported the law forcing NGO’s who receive foreign funding to register as foreign agents. Neither of those have anything at all to do with the death of Sergei Magnitsky, who may well turn out to have been a criminal after all. It soon became obvious that the U.S. government was running a blacklist, to which people could be added at a whim or as a result of pressure from the political opposition in Russia…

Blame your own government (USA). A delegation of Russian senators visited America, bringing their evidence to date in the investigation against Magnitsky, in hopes they could head off the unfair legislation. Nobody (but nobody) would even look at it, and they were denied an audience with Senator Ben Cardin, co-sponsor of the law…

Tit-for-tat legislation is not supposed to make sense or to be fair. It is a retaliation to something that is itself perceived to be senseless and unfair. America has plenty of children internally awaiting adoption. If that doesn’t seem like a reasonable compromise, lobby the U.S. government to withdraw the Magnitsky Act…

There is a simple solution. The American congress repeals the Maginsky Act, and then the Duma repeals the Adoption Law. Your move America…  🙂

A few days until the end of 2012! That is what is going through my mind as I sip that cup of coffee and contemplate my life. I realize that I have had a full life and I also realize that I am lucky to be here on earth. There seems to be a thousand reasons why I should not be here…

My mind started to wander about how simple my life has become in Russia and how I feel that being here in Russia has extended my lifespan, a whole bunch…

I guess that 6 heart attacks is enough to deal with in a lifetime but I have had several other escapades that have molded my life to what it is today…

I never figured that I would live this long, my dad died at 50 years old and so did his four brothers. They all passed at around 50 years old. Now my grandpa’s lived to their 80’s, so I guess maybe it is true that you look at lifespan at the grandpa’s side of things. Besides 6 heart attacks, I have had a brain tumor and spent 28 weeks in a pathogen treatment. That was 10 years ago and it has never come back. I have been shot two times and stabbed three times. I have had literally every bone in my body broken at one time or another. I have had pneumonia 6 times in my life and I remember the first time, I was 3 years old. I do not remember much at three, but I do remember that and it sucked. Pneumonia always came around because I never stopped, never rested and never cared about myself. Of course I spent 30 plus years smoking and drinking and doing what ever guys seem to do and get in trouble all the time…

I have been in a dozen serious car wrecks personally (Some my fault and some not!) and I have pulled people out of over a dozen burning twisted car wrecks in my lifetime. I have been robbed of very large sums of money, 6 times and I have stopped four robbery attempts in progress, in my life time. I have been mugged 3 times at gun point for less than $20 dollars, I always think of the Hank Williams Jr. song that talks about getting killed for $43 in New York City. I think it is called “A Country Boy Can Survive!” I need to look it up someday…

Now all the above is ignoring being an Airborne Ranger for years. What happened during those years is a whole other story…

I have held people as they die and I have held people dieing because of what I did. I have been in jail, for things I did and things I did not do. I have been blackmailed and cheated on. I also have stood my ground when no one else thought it was correct to do so. I have been vindicated every time when I did stand up for what was correct and not give into the “status quo…”

What is sad is that I left America a broken man! I was broke financially and spiritually! I was over medicated on way too many prescription drugs, which included not the least of, what I call happy pills. You know those wonderful tranquilizers that are so prevalent of all types in America. When you have 6 heart attacks they have a tendency to dope you up the rest of your life…

The last of my wealth, bought my way out of a burdensome and overbearing society of suppression…

I have talked about before what I had to do to get out of America and I will always have tremendous thanks to several officials in the government that pulled some strings for me, but hey they owed me and I collected…

So I am contemplating my life today and thinking that we are almost at 2013. I have another birthday in January and it seems that time just keeps rolling on…

“You go on. You set one foot in front of the other, and if a thin voice cries out, somewhere behind you, you pretend not to hear, and keep going.” ― Geraldine Brooks…

I guess it is time once again to follow one of my favorite quotes that is written above…

I like to say that, “The past is as a book and you must close that book and put it back on the shelf once in awhile, for it will keep calling to you, until you read again, if it lays open on the desktop!”

Time to close the book for a few days…

All the senators unanimously voted in support of the bill…

The bill, dubbed the “Dima Yakovlev Law” also imposes a visa ban and asset freeze on US officials who violate the rights of Russian citizens abroad, and bans the US sponsorship of NGOs that operate in Russia as well as the work of US citizens in Russian NGOs.As the bill was passing through the Lower House it was also amended with a provision that it can be applied to any nation that violates the rights of Russians, not just the USA…

Dima Yakovlev is the Two-year-old Russian adopted boy who died after being left in a locked car by his adopted American father on a hot day for nine hours. The father was not held responsible…

This bill leaves approximately 46 people from America that have bought children from Russia, left out in the cold, so to say. If Putin signs the bill then Americans will theoretically never again adopt a Russian child…

Russia is correct on this issue and Russian children should be kept in Russia…

Nakhodka is one of the biggest ports in Far East of Russia. It is considered very beautiful and worthy of a tourist attraction by location and people alone, but there is a special attraction that most people do not know about…

Two hills which look like pyramids are located in the valley near the river Partizanskay. The pyramids are named Sestra (Sister) and Brat (Brother).

Brat use to be the same height as Sestra, the height of Sestra is 319 meters, they have 3 sides just like the sides of a Egyptian pyramid. These pyramids are located at mouth of Partizanka’s river. It’s very interesting and beautiful place!

The pyramid named Brat is located 2 miles NNE from Sestra, but Brat has a very sad history. In the 1960’s the peak of the pyramid was blown up for building stones? I suspect that after reading more about the pyramids, that it was done out of looking for treasures. The usage of the stones was just a by product and cover up…

Brat is now 242 meters tall and before the senseless destruction, 320 meters…

Nearby is a village called Sestra: A very ancient town with tombs that are beautifully adorned. Famous Russian traveler, historian and anthropologist Arceniev in the beginning of XX century, wrote that those hills had been holy places for ancient settlements, people had been coming from China and Korea to pray there for centuries. The two pyramids were sacred and mysterious for many ancient people. They were named Da-nai-shan (now: Sestra) and Er-nai-shan (now: Brat)…

Then there is even recorded documents that 110 years ago when the first Russians disembarked near the Sestra/Korean settlements, it was said that two hills (Brat and Sestra) had been built a long time before. However they didn’t know who had build them…

Then and now, all people who visit the pyramids, say that they feel very happy and very healthy while walking on the sides and around the pyramids. The sides of those pyramids are oriented North, West, South and East exactly like the pyramids in Egypt…

I found these pyramids, as I have been looking at the internet about the pyramids all over the world. It seems that in the ancient times that people all over the world and I mean all over the world, built pyramids. They seemed to build the same type of pyramids and no one was connected by any means, due to the geographical barriers in the natural world. Yet we all built pyramids…

I thought you would find it interesting that Russia has pyramids, kinda like Egypt does… 🙂

Once upon a time a Pastor from America tried to sneak some ammo into Russia. His name is Pastor Phillip Miles! I have a whole bunch of articles on the man and he spent some time in a Russian jail cell, rightly deserved I figured out later…

The way that I see what happened was this:

Miles realized that he could not ship ammo into Russia by any means. The system had a million barriers to trying to ship the ammo by mail. While it could be done by mail, (After many hoops to jump thru!) it would take much too long to do it and if you have ever shipped anything in Russia by mail? Then the odds are that it will not get there until a couple of blue moons have passed…

This holds true no matter if shipped by airmail, EMS, UPS, FedEx and DHL! The rule is no ammo passing the border. Just read all the below information after what I have wrote. This information comes directly from the Russian official website…

Now Pastor Phillip Miles had crossed the Russian border many times and felt confident that he could easily carry the ammo, which was a gift for a friend in Russia, across the border. They had never stopped him before and most likely have never even looked twice at him…

But and I mean a BIG BUT! Someone set him up and I suspect that his little entourage of followers in Russia saw an opportunity to rid themselves of this man and his monastical ways geared toward belittling the Russians…

For this time when he crossed the border, they did not bother him at the international border, but they waited until he tried to board a plane to Perm, Russia and then nonchalantly put him in jail. They knew he was carrying the ammo and waited for the exact correct moment to nab him…

So he knew he should not bring the ammo, but he also knew that he had crossed the border with many items and no one ever tried to worry about him before. The difference was that someone had set him up this time and his American naivety and superiority caught him with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak…

I knew at the time that he knew what was right and wrong and I also knew that he tried to play innocent. Russia finally let him go home and I have heard nothing about him since, but I have never forgotten what he tried to do and that just made us law abiding Americans who travel Russia all the time look bad…

When you are in another land: Do not take them for granted and do not look down at them and try to skirt the laws. You may not feel those laws are correct, but really who cares what a foreigner thinks…

I knew the man and his father and well “enuff” said…

Once again it is Christmas and here in Russia is is snowing and blowing. The actual temperature is going to rise a whole bunch and we will get to have Christmas near 0c. That means snow and snow and snow and more snow…

Sveta, Boza and I will be glad for a break in the cold, as it was around -30c last night. So a little Bahama weather will be just right, after the last few weeks of record cold…

Have a nice Christmas and be safe…
