In June of 2012, the Russian Central Bank has increased its total deposits of monetary gold by 18.6 tons or around 595,200 ounces of gold. Thus, at present, these deposits make a total holding of 936.2 tons or around 29,958,400 ounces. The deposits included standard golden bars and coins, all of which belong to the Central bank and to the Russian government. Earlier this year, Russia’s Central Bank has announced many times that the bank was going to increase its gold deposits. The increase is to be on a continual basis indefinitely…

Before you go storming the Ecuador Embassy…

You better pull all your people out of the rest of the world’s Embassies that you have…

Because once you break that boundary and safety zone that is Ecuador’s privileged area, that is there for a reason. You will have the same done to you by one and all…

It is called the “fair game” issue!

A British Embassy will have lost all immunity, and that will be that…

Quit being a USA poodle and let it go…

When I was little, it was Cops and Robbers and Cowboy and Indians! Then sometimes we tossed a touch of GI’s from America against Germany GI’s for good measure. The battle fields were the front yards of our homes and everyone always wanted to be either cowboy, cop or American, you know the good guy…

Most of the time your gun was just your hand and you used it as the most powerful gun ever made and it always was bad guy against good guy. Because what else was there? Good against evil and that made the world go around…

One thing that I can say is that we kids were outside and we played hard, died many times in battle and came back to life just as many times. Biggest important thing that I just said, “we kids were outside and we played hard”

Today while I walked the dog, Boza and I found ourselves in the middle of what had to have been 40 or 50 boys and they were all in a battle to beat battles. I am not sure who Russians fight when they play war and I did not ask. The group was made up of all boys and not a single girl was around, but personally, why would a girl want to play anyway? It was just a bunch of rotten boys and they were shooting everything in sight, including Boza and I. It was not there fault that we wandered into a war zone. Boza and I should have more sense than to cross into a battlefield…

I guess I need to ask Sveta who Russians war with when they are on the playground, but I sense that Sveta will look at me and say, “I am a girl and don’t do that stuff!” So my thoughts are that definitely no Cowboys and Indians on this side of the world and for that fact, I bet no Cowboys and Indians anymore on the other side of the world, either…

One thing that I see in Russia, the parents kick their kids outside and make them go play. You see kids everywhere this time of the year. The weather is good and in Russia kids have enough bad weather to keep them inside, so you definitely make them go outside and run like crazy, when you can. On top of that, kids and adults here do not have that TV embedded into their heads like Western people do. Also people here are not scared to let their kids run all day, free as a bird…

So Boza and I escaped alive from the war zone and as we left we watched a few minutes…

I have to say it brought back memories…

No one wanted to die when shot and everyone got back up to die again within a few seconds. I realized how much playing war as kids is like a video game now days. You die and then come back alive, as many times as you want, but the one good thing is that playing outside is good for you and playing a video game inside is bad for you, physically…

Boza looked at me and I said, “Yes Boza! Humans are weird!”

Then we left to continue our walk and contemplate life…

All Main Stream Media in the world is governmental run by one or several governments or by individuals that have conceded to the governments. Main Stream Media prints what it is told and prints when it is told. There is no exception to this rule in this world. If it is Main Stream Media it is controlled media…

Main Stream Media does what is told or dies as an entity. Truth has no bearing in the Main Stream Media anymore…

I have watched all the manipulation over the Pussy Riot issue and Julian Assange issue. Why it has definable worked its way into the Russian main media and that is how much money is being splashed all around to promote the lies…

I have watched carefully for months and kept a mental track of what percent of the people believe what the main media tells them. It has been interesting because while everyone states that main stream media is fake, they all still try to believe…

We want to believe that everyone who died in Libya deserved to die, all who have died for now in Syria are innocent people, millions who died in Afghanistan and Iraq are guilty and should die. We want to believe that America would do no wrong and that America would never infringe upon our freedoms and liberties. We want to believe and hence we believe and when it all happens different than we want! We look the other way and hopes that it goes away, before it affects us. We believe what ever the media constantly barrages us with as informational overload…

I promise that it will effect us one day…

I have talked about how bad Windows to Russia was attacked and censored and to get out from that situation, I had to move the site from the USA and into the jurisdiction of another country. Does that seem to you that America is the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave?

Maybe better would be, “Land of the servants and Home of the Government!”

I use to have 100,000 hits a day average just from the TSA and DHS located in America. Now they just block me completely and for that I thank them. My readership is Russian, Chinese and the rest of the world. Some Americans, but America is my smallest percent now. I will keep it that way and have stability and peace…

People use to believe and they believed with their hearts that, “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. – by Voltaire”

That my friend is gone and will never be back in our lifetime, unless we do some fancy footwork and fast…

Russia is truly the Bastian of freedom compared to America and China now has definitely waltz to a different tune and is sliding past America for their freedoms. It really is sad when the two countries that we have spent all our lifetimes, degrading for human rights have exceeded the US and are on a road to a better life for their people. In a few years America and the West will, while ranking so high on Western sponsored human rights lists, will actually be located at the bottom of the list in reality…

Now back to the title…

Most of you and that would be 90% of you, have no idea what Pussy Riot did! The main issues is that you do not care…

The Western media spouts only about, “Putin dun it!!!!!!!!!”

What the hell does this have to do with Putin? He could care less and that is that…

Maybe his name was used in a nasty chant during prayer service in a church! The fact that they did it in a Orthodox church and royally desecrated that church means nothing to anyone! They only care what the press tells them. Try looking around and doing some real reading for once. Nothing is ever what the press says and that is why we have so many blogs. Blogs try to get the truth out…

So I guess people have a choice: They can either open their eyes and look for the truth, or they can be lazy asses and let the TV guide their lives…

Now we have a another huge division developed in the world. Julian Assange has done more for dividing the world, than anyone I know. The same people that say that Russia can look the other way and ignore what Pussy Riot did, are the same people who call for Julian Assange head on a platter…

Britain has successfully given Latin America and South America a reason to stand together and tell the West to stick it where the sun do not shine…

What use to be a rift between the East and West, has now become a rift, North and South and East and West, with the Western world occupying the smallest part of the world. Kind like the North/West corner…

The West has giving this division credence, when a simple nod and acceptance would have curtailed a rift in an instant, but it seems to me that between governments and controlled media in the West, that they are intentionally causing this divide…

Let Assange go to Ecuador and live happily forever, doing what he does best and telling on the world and their governments, little dirty secretes…

A Russian booster rocket has blasted off from the Odyssey launch pad in the Pacific Ocean as part of the Sea Launch project to deliver a U.S. satellite into orbit, a spokesman for Energiya space corporation said on Sunday.

“The launch took place at 10:55 a.m. Moscow time [06:55 GMT]. The designated time for the spacecraft’s separation from the DM-SL acceleration unit is 11:25 a.m. Moscow time [07:25 GMT],” the spokesman said.

Odyssey, positioned on the equator, is a converted oil rig operated by the Swiss-based rocket company Sea Launch.

The initial launch of the spacecraft was scheduled for August 15 but it was postponed several times due to various reasons.

The 5,980 kilogram Intelsat 21 is a geostationary communications satellite built by Space Systems Loral to provide telecoms services to high-growth markets around the Pacific Rim, including Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and U.S. West Coast.

“Usually the Western governments create their own smaller Assanges in Russia or in China, or in other countries. Now they should try their own medicine and show us how they cope with similar situations,” –  Russian journalist Dmitry Babich…

Darn, I have over a thousand comments to go through today! The last few articles, in the last few days, got slammed. Looks like 25% of them are actually good comments, so I have to check each one separately. That is why I hate comments, not to mention that I get lots of hate Russia and hate Kyle comments… 🙂

Okay a few hours later:

I have 342 comments left to go through again. I started with 1456 comments. After removing all really nasty comments, about death and such. I then went through and checked all links they tried to add to the comment. By the time hundreds of porn links and religious blasphemy links have been deleted, I ended up with 342 comments that are now in the final stages to be approved. I figured about half of that will not make it, but still for one night, I will end up with several hundred comments posted and that is nothing to sneeze at…

It is always strange how somethings that have no meaning, stir people up and other things that should stir people up have no effect. Take the Russian sub in the Gulf of Mexico! People in America are scared and upset. They are responding like a bunch of ignorant savages and well, that just won’t do…

I got tore apart about the article about “I Remember When!” Mainly from trolls who are paid to divert attention from articles that tell the truth about what use to be a good America and about what America has become and what America is becoming. The worst thing in the world to a government is to have people who remember and will talk about how things were…

The very worst thing for a government is when we talk about how things could be and be better than what we are living right now and in the past…

I listened to the song, “Imagine” by John Lennon, this morning…

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

No wonder they assassinated him. He was right…

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace…

This Russian dish served from one end of Russia to the other is known as Kulebyaka. It melds moist salmon with hard boiled eggs and fluffy rice, then all encased in crispy pastry. Kulebyaka is usually made as one long roll, but it could just as easily be made into individual fish pies or even into a huge casserole dish…

Yes there is a million ways to make this and this is just one way! I say use your imagination and make it the way you want to. This recipe will get you started and I promise that your family will find this a great way to eat healthy and good for you salmon…

Ingredients:

• 2 oz of real butter
  1 small onion, finely diced
  6 to 8 oz long grain wild rice, cooked till very soft…
  1 tbsp fresh dill grass, finely chopped
  1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  1 lb puff pastry – not frozen
  1 lb salmon fillets – no skin and shredded, I like to pre-cook the salmon…
  3 medium eggs – hard-boiled and finely diced
  1 raw egg – whipped
  Salt and black pepper – actually I love it best with a touch of crushed red pepper…
  Flour for the rolling pin and surface

How to Make Salmon Kulebyaka:

The oven should be pre-heated to around 350ºF

While oven is pre-heating, make sure salmon and rice are pre-cooked…

Lightly oil a baking tray, to lay the finished product on to bake.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, and add the finely chopped onion. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, until the onion is just tender, and slightly golden brown and getting opaque.

Stir in the pre-cooked rice, adding chopped fresh dill, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, all with the butter and onion in the sauce pan.

On a lightly floured surface roll out the thawed puff pastry, to make a 12 in square. Try to use only enough flour to do the job. Excess flour will toughen the pastry as will excess working of the dough.

Spread the rice mix over the pastry, but leave a border all round of about ½ inch.

Arrange the pre-cooked salmon pieces on top of the rice, scatter the chopped egg over the salmon. I also toss a little salt and pepper on top for good measure. This is where you can apply crushed pepper as you desire and that is yummy…

Brush pastry edges with whipped egg.

Fold the pastry twice to form a rectangle. Press the edges together to seal in the contents.

Carefully lift the pastry onto the oiled baking tray and glaze the top with beaten egg.

Pierce the pastry on top in several places to allow steam to escape. Those who are artistic can cut a design…

Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for approximately 40 minutes. After 30 minutes cover the roll with foil to keep from burning the top.

Leave on baking tray to cool. Garnish as you desire and once cool enough slice and serve. This makes about enough for 4 people or one very hungry person.

How you serve this dish is up to you, either as a light lunch accompanied by a mixed salad, or as a main meal. It goes particularly well with boiled new potatoes and mixed vegetables. If carefully wrapped in foil the Salmon Kulebyaka travels well and makes good food on a Russian train…

This product can be made with cabbage, ham, pork, chicken and just about anything you desire…

Enjoy, I know you family will…

Ecuador has granted political asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The decision comes almost two months after the world-famous whistleblower came to the country’s embassy in London seeking protection…

But…

The British government has stated is has absolutely no intention of letting Assange reach the South American country. The UK said that it will do everything in its power to block Assange’s passage to Ecuador…

Even if it is against the International Laws? That is my question and I also ask, “Even if you attack a countries Embassy?”

Have a nice day and we shall see what Britain does over this…

Russia to press ahead on social issues despite crisis:
President Vladimir Putin believes the Russian economy will be able to withstand an eventual economic crisis, arguing that the country ranked third in terms of economic growth rates in 2011 and fourth in terms of industrial output growth rates. “The economy is generally in good shape right now and we’re confident that should a crisis break out we have what it takes to deal with it,” the president pointed out at a meeting with regional human rights commissioners.

“Public debt is minimal at 10%, the unemployment rate is slightly above 5%, which is below the pre-crisis level,” he argued, adding that anti-crisis measures have been enacted and sufficient currency reserves have been accumulated.

Putin went on to say that despite a lackluster economic environment on the global markets, Russia will be able to solve its housing issues within the next ten years.

“I think we have a unique one-time opportunity to radically improve housing provision in Russia. We have the chance to succeed by committing economic, financial, administrative, and political resources to this objective,” Putin said.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev held a cabinet meeting today on allocating subsidies from the federal budget aimed at creating incentives for the construction of low-cost housing facilities. This RUB 2.4bn (approx. USD 75.35m) program seeks to stimulate construction of affordable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly real estate.
