Windows to Russia!
Without any doubt there may be western planted armed forces walking the ground in Syria and this explains now in part the huge amount of hysteria behind the UNSC resolution that was vetoed by Russia and China. Basically because of those vetoes, promises fell through to have air cover by a certain time frame. Those armed forces are left stranded without any safe havens to work from, so the job now for the western planted armed forces has become very much more difficult and to the point of dangerous. Basically as per the actions of the last few days by the West, Syria now has a full on western backed insurgency. The interesting thing is that whilst the US thinks it is OK to drone kill civilians at their wimp and whim, as they deal with insurgents as they see fit, with no tolerance of questions pertaining to why they do what they do. They think Syria needs to somehow lay down their arms and cut their own throats when dealing with insurgents themselves – nevertheless then again, nothing unique about the Western viewpoint there, it is obvious to the main part of the world, that the hallmark of the western world – is pure hypocrisy!

I have been for years now talking about the rift that is normal between the East and the West, but I have also talked about that the rift has been getting unstable and growing apart. This dividing line so to speak between the East and West is becoming so wide that leaping it is a chore instead of a pleasure…
The Chinese news is awash with separation issue, as is the Russian press dwelling on the subject also…
February 9 (BEIJING) — China and Russia should exert efforts to overcome the Syrian crisis and prevent the country from disintegration, the Huanqiu Shibao (Global Times) newspaper writes on Thursday.
The publication notes that “the vetoes by China and Russia have deprived the West of a convenient excuse to launch direct military action, meaning the Syrian opposition will not receive overall support as it was given to the NTC in Benghazi during the Libyan civil war.”.
I find it interesting how different the East and West look at things and it seems to me that the world is shifting polarity on its views in politics and humanity…
I use to see the West as the humane ones and the East as the evil, that scourges the earth. Oh – I am not fooled and realize that the West in the past has had her bad points, but it just seems that at one time in America, we had much more good and honest people in all walks of life..
Maybe I was naive then but it just seems that rule of law, peace, human rights, privacy, respect, freedoms and liberty had a much higher precedence in America. I did not have to look over my shoulder and wonder if someone is watching me all the time. I never thought about, is my telephone tapped or should I watch what I say to people…
I received this e-mail yesterday that the contents actually woke me up thinking in the middle of the night. I will post one paragraph of the e-mail that really got me thinking. I will not give names because I am sure that they would not want that and I respect them too much to break their privacy…
“I, too, am too old to fight because it would be Americans fighting Americans, brother against brother, mother against children, children against parents, UGLY! To me that is against the grain and every fiber of my being. In Russia you are free enough to write but not so here. I fully expect that our access to the internet will be taken down eventually. There will still be the games we can play, solitaire to amuse ourselves, knitting and crocheting doilies, chatting about the weather over the backyard fence, etc. Life goes on but tyranny digs its own grave, that is for sure. This, too, will pass.”
The excerpt above is from a reader of one of my last articles. This person has been around, done that, seen that, been there and lived a fuller life than 95% of us. I take what they say to me at face value, because they do not mince words. This e-mail has come from a person who loves America with all there heart and they are saddened by what they see happening in America…
The part that stuck in my gizzard was, “In Russia you are free enough to write but not so here.” That seems like a mild statement, but in all reality it is a monumental statement that expresses what the reasoning for all other statements that they said.
You really need to understand the realities: “I as an American in Russia have more freedoms, more liberties, more peace, more quiet, more expressions, more help, more safety, more future, more abilities, more individualism, more opportunities, more respect and just about anything else you can think of. Than I do as an American in the USA, my own country…”
Yes – I am free enough to be able to write in Russia and that is why I was forced to move my servers to Russia. I am freer to write in Russia, as the Department of Homeland Security tries to take my website down, just as they tried again last night… (Almost every night!)
I guess that I am a threat because so many are listening now. I have been averaging 128,000 page views a day now for over two weeks. That is around 89 hits a minute average or about 5300 an hour. Otherwords, when you are reading this article, you are not alone and by the time you are done reading the article you will have a hundred new friends reading it with you. Those numbers above excludes search spyders, spam and other trash. If you want total activity then you must look at around 300,000 average per day. That is why my server goes up in smoke, when the DHS decides to attack. I have enough going on without their help to increase my page views… 🙂
The blog has increased in volume tremendously since moving the server to being Russian based…
That freedom in America was really squelching the site…

PS: I want to thank a few people for donations! They asked not to be identified. But they did not ask me not to thank them. If Windows to Russia gets enough cash together, then we can upgrade the server again. We need more ram and processor. Right now we are running on a base economy VPS and it would be nice to get a little buffer to be able to ward off DHS attacks…
“Of course, we condemn any violence from whatever side it is coming from, but one cannot act like an elephant in a china shop,” the Prime Minister Putin said at a meeting with representatives of Russia’s major religions on Wednesday. “People should be allowed to decide their future themselves.”
Elephant in a china shop! I like that, that is the same as a “Bull in a china closet!”
How true he speaks about the West…

Looks like I need to make another run to Ukraine again. Business calls and Ukraine is a wonderful place to do business. It does not get any friendlier and everything is so easy to get done that I always find the trips to Ukraine a blessing. Maybe I can convince Sveta to go with me. I know her son Misha has asked when we leave again. It seems that he likes to stay at our place and watch Boza… 🙂
It also looks like a friend from America is coming to run around Russia for a month. He will be here March 1st. He will be staying with us part of the time and has several Russian friends from his last visit that want him to stay with them also. I have told him to make sure he brings his warm clothes. Russia has long Winters. Last time he came he brought his son, but this time he will be alone. I am looking forward to his visit, as he is a farmer and I have roots in that part of life in America. This last year has been hard on him in America and it has been three years since he came to Russia. He says that he can find peace in Russia! I understand totally. The problem is that I plan on being in the village toward the middle of March. I plan on staying about two to three months. Maybe I can get him to come down to the village for a few days. It is ancient but cozy and comfortable…
I also have to quit delaying my heart tests. You know how you sometimes delay things because you already know what the possible outcome will be? Well I am kinda doing that and if I do not get my butt in gear. I may not have a butt to get in gear. I really do not want to have anymore operations, but I am worried that I have a stent collapsing. Or new blockage of some type. I know what to look for and I am showing the signs that I lived with for years before I collapsed the first time. This time though I am taking it easy and I do not have to work 16 hour days to survive … 🙁
Plans are meant to be changed and all my plans could change quickly…
Time just flies and can you believe that we are tearing through February with March coming into sight now? I never have enough time to get everything done and it seems that things just keep jumping ion the pile of a todo list. I am lucky Sveta does not hardly ever demand anything to be added to the todo list. She is a good girl… 🙂
That is all for today as I am not feeling that good and I am concentrating on a Zombie book that I am writing. It is in rough draft but I am getting great response to it. I put it on Wattpad and it has over 2000 reads so far. I also have it in a blog and I post regularly to it. The blog just gathered a page rank of 4 and has hundreds of readers everyday. I never knew that so many people like Zombie stories. (The Zombie Source Code) Stop by and have a look. It is not your normal Zombie story and really is just a diary of someone who deals with Zombies. He has a dog named Dogg and a Zombie sidekick that is named Ben Zombie…
Oh – and I just found about a hundred hryvnia (money) and three metro tokens for Ukraine. I am set to go…

Syria’s President Assad has agreed to talks with the opposition, will follow Arab League’s roadmap increasing the number of observers in the country, including the most hostile areas in Syria.
This follows talks with the Russian delegation headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who arrived in Damascus on Tuesday.
As RT’s Egor Piskunov reports from the meeting in Damascus, Moscow will coordinate talks between Assad’s government and the opposition.
Russia will go on working with various Syrian opposition groups in order to prevent further civilian deaths, said Lavrov. The minister called on other countries to urge the opposition to engage in talks.
Syria is also to call a referendum to draw up a new constitution. The brand new constitution will deprive the ruling political party of its monopoly. The date of the referendum will be announced shortly. According to President Assad, the text of the new constitution has already been drafted.
President Assad stands firm in his resolve to stop violence in his country, wherever it should come from, said Lavrov. The parties reaffirmed their readiness to use the Arab League’s initiative to find “a swift way out of the crisis,” he added.
“Syria is notifying the Arab League that it is interested in the League continuing its work and increasing the number of observers,” declared Lavrov. The League can make its decision now, but Damascus is definitely giving the green light to such a move.
Moscow has called on the Arab League to preserve and expand its observing mission, dubbing it a crucial stabilizing factor for Syria.
The visit came amid international anger over Russia and China’s veto of what they saw as a “premature” UN Security Council vote.
The UK and US simultaneously withdrew their ambassadors to Damascus Monday, with the UK Foreign Secretary calling President Bashar Al-Assad’s regime “murderous and doomed.” Italy’s Foreign Ministry has allegedly recalled its ambassador from Syria on Tuesday, reports Al Arabia.
The Russian FM dubbed the resolution draft text “one-sided” and international reaction to the veto “hysterical”.

PS: Now that the western governments are closing embassies or withdrawing ambassadors ‘for talks’, it will be interesting to see if the violence ebbs. If he’s successful, Mr Lavrov will have provided a roadmap for ending the violence in one day. This is more than anyone else has achieved in months…
“Stay the hell away from Afghanistan. We’re at the tail end of this war, and it’s become mostly about making a quick last buck for contractors. Especially “Big Army” is driven by a lot of pressures that make it very hard for commanders to make truly reasonable decisions. Right now, it’s all about short-term results due to political timelines. Social science just doesn’t fit into that — for many, this isn’t as much a war as an industry”Wait until about 2020 for the military system to rearrange itself.”
Before moving on to the core story (below), there is news on Amir Hekmati, the Iranian-American being held on death row by the Iranian government for alleged spying. At one point during his contractor-military career, Hekmati was working at a refugee camp West of Bagram, Afghanistan. The camp was described as better than most with two school buildings. “The people were well-taken care of,” said a source, “the camp was private and not United Nations.” Hekamti was working with Iranians located at the camp in Afghanistan. “He was a trusted agent sort of guy.” The refugee camp housed Iranians and Kurds among other nationalities. “A mixed bag” is how the camp was described. Another source indicated that it was not “appropriate to comment because of the sensitivity of the matter.”
The insights provided this month (below) on the war on Afghanistan provided by a soldier there are illuminating. It should win some sort of recognition from the journalism community. Strip out the focus on the OSD-Intelligence, US Army Human Terrain System (HTS), and replace it with hundreds of other programs/ideas designed to “win” in Afghanistan/Iraq (cups of tea, all of government, smart power, analytics) and what you see is that even in January 2012, on the eve of President Barak Obama’s State of the Union Address, American political, economic and military leaders remain blissfully ignorant of the world around them. The thinkers in academia, media and think tanks cling to the powerful and seek their blessings. Subservient as they are, they offer no real critique or new direction for the USA and its people.
Now, US leadership is taking the country to the brink of war with Iran and its proxies. Iran is a nation far less dangerous, racist and anti-Semitic than Saudi Arabia. If that were not enough, the US is making a military push into Africa (Nigeria and Uganda) and is groping its way back into Asia, Southeast Asia. The sanctions and embargo on Iran have rekindled the West versus East madness of the Cold War. It’s whitey versus non-whitey again: What’s our energy doing under their worthless sand?
The sanctions and embargo will affect the Asian economies as well perhaps forcing energy prices up and destabilizing currency arrangements. If Iran can’t make currency swap deals with Asia and India/Pakistan it may well resort to military action. Further, the BRICS are not likely to sit idly by as the USA and EU seeks complete dominance of the world’s dominant energy sources and trade/shipping routes and lanes. Then there are the wildcards like Israel, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and the Kurdish and Baloch rebels and the provinces in which they live. Who knows if the governments currently in charge will last?
This is an extraordinarily dangerous game the USA and EU are playing and it may well lead to a kinetic global war. The question here is this: How can the USA afford it all? How many more dollars can it print? What about the Homeland? Do we really fear Boka Haram and the Lord’s Resistance Army? Already these groups are being pumped up as the next AQ.
The whole of Africa is the most worrisome matter. The US has a very small footprint in the nations of that massive continent other than through its Foreign Internal Defense program. Its trade with the nations of Africa according to the CIA Factbook and the US Trade Representatives’ Office amounted to $95 billion (US) last year. The European Union’s trade was nearly $300 billion while China’s was $170 billion. China trades with nearly every nation of the African Continent in percentages greater than the USA. Non-US global mining and energy companies dominate the African landscape (there is only one US mining company in the top ten).
It is easy to see the US going bankrupt as tries to be everywhere at once on earth. The homeland is expendable it seems. And there is not enough manpower in the all-volunteer military to complete the full spectrum dominance so sought after by the country’s political, economic, military and academic minds.
Finally, Real Journalism: Thank You!
The Student Doctor Network contains two posts that sum up the US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan perfectly. Those are listed below in italics.
The scene is advice being given to someone interested in joining the HTS. Forget about the fact that it is HTS. There is not a soul familiar with it that isn’t sick of the acronym and the incredible amount of money and bullshit that has been expended to make HTS glow and work correctly.
Replace HTS with hundreds of other US programs undertaken over the past decade (money + bullshit) that were designed to “win” in Afghanistan and Iraq. One can’t say anything more than that it is tragic that no one is accountable or, for that matter, even cares about the waste product in lives, money, time.
And it is set to continue.
“Don’t be taken in by the mystique that HTS is trying to build as a burgeoning intelligence organization. Yes, what they do is classified (as are flight times and a million other mundane things). They might even tempt you with “you might work with Special Operations Force’s”rarely are people here impressed by the “value added” offered by a lot of the HTS guys the Special Operations Task Force encounters. And those HTS guys are hand-picked. If they had to work with your average Human Terrain Team, HTS would quickly be kicked out of the SOF world for good.
It’s a miserable environment. Press reporting about HTS has died down, because the internal on-goings have become less salacious and sensational. But that doesn’t mean things have got better. What critics like John Stanton used to write is about 60% true and is still laughed about internally by people who see the same problems at their teams today. Sadly – because the Army really needs this knowledge and HTS doesn’t even come close to providing it, I can almost guarantee you will be miserable, unless you’re willing to drink the Kool-Aid and pretend things are alright. Which brings me to scholarships”Because there’ll be no room for cognitive dissonance once you actually apply to PhD programs.
You’ll find that the bigger issue is that HTS simply isn’t very good. It’s actually very bad. The quality of both your peers and especially your superiors will be generally poor and the quality of your products even more so. I still encounter Human Terrain Teams on a frequent basis as I travel around Afghanistan for my current job, and they’re almost universally derided or ignored by the units they support.
I’d say the HTS concept isn’t too far off the mark. It’s the execution that fails miserably. And that organization is emphatically not going to improve, because it is in a quality death spiral: the best people leave, the worst people stay — and the worst people are mostly recruited at the top, with no promotion chances for those at the bottom because of a nod-to-my-retiree-friends requirement that Team Leaders be of a certain retired rank (I’ve never met a battle-space owner who cared about the Team Leader’s former rank except in a negative way, because so many are arrogant/defensive about it). So, once again, forget about HTS. Others and I believed we could change the organization from the inside. It won’t happen. Nor will a decent alternative spring up anytime soon (unless you’re willing to throw your hat in with civilian intelligence agencies — not a bad job choice at all, if they ever do decide to move away from drone strikes and more towards people skills again).
In terms of better use of social scientists, then, I’d say stick with academia, but focus your research away from the esoteric and more towards the relevant. There are a lot of little “human terrain” organizations out there now, staffed by contractors, usually overpaid and under qualified. I can’t think of a single useful article I’ve read on Afghanistan written by these people. What I do see endlessly cited are books and articles by serious academics and analysts such as Afghan Analysts Network. These independent guys have a far, far deeper and useful understanding of Afghanistan, and their products are far more useful to commanders (kind of ironic, right?).
I should also add that a lot of the need for “understanding cultures” in the military is actually based on the inability to understand people, period, or rather our (the military’s) unwillingness to obey the Golden Rule. So much of what we do in Afghanistan to anger the local population would just as much anger any American, European or Japanese person. Yet, because we don’t want to change our behavior too much, we look for social scientists to validate what we do by finding justifications/”loopholes” in the local culture that somehow allow us to continue raiding houses at night without pissing people off. So, do keep that in mind if you truly want to influence what the military does.
If you’re looking to become a Subject Matter Expert on the conflict zones of tomorrow, good luck. Pick one country or region, but remember that there’s a roll of the dice involved — on September 10, 2001, we didn’t know we’d be invading Afghanistan. Also remember that a lot of the countries at the top of our list, e.g. Yemen, are now practically inaccessible to academics. And without years of on-the-ground experience, you’ll be a hollow “expert”. That’s why I’d recommend some of the smaller West African countries and other places that are more permissible, but still are at risk of instability without attracting too much scholarship from lots of academics. But, to be frank, do you really want to study a country just in case you can get rich and famous off of it going to hell?
Social scientists (people with MAs and PhDs) are largely second tier in terms of quality. They’ve gotten better – there are far fewer crazy social scientists – but that’s somehow also meant fewer and fewer people with relevant backgrounds. You get a bunch of young thrusters who are trying to make a career, but these often don’t know what they’re doing in terms of Afghanistan. Some adapt, despite HTS. But I’ve never heard of anyone getting into a decently-ranked PhD program afterwards. Then the social scientist cohort seems to jump 20-30 years to people close to retirement, who really don’t know what they’re doing either, and often bring with them physical frailty and an arrogance that comes from age rather than experience. It’s highly demoralizing, and you can’t expect much of positive mentoring relationship.
But your biggest problem will be the Team Leaders. It’s extraordinary how few have relevant experience, how many are low quality, and how little is done about the many bad apples. They are required to be military, but very few have served in the past ten years. Those that have usually did so in an unrelated role, with limited contact with the Afghan/Iraqi population. Most are there for one reason: they couldn’t get promoted in the military and now want to cash in on the war before the money goes away. The amount of ego at that level is skull crushing, and these guys are the primary reason why teams often (usually?) fail to offer anything useful, and why so many people leave. Have a look at published articles by HTS people. Most of them are about HTS itself, not Afghans. That’s a reflection of the sad thing about HTS – the internal workings of the organization ultimately overshadow and outmuscle any attempts to do serious scholarship focused on target populations. Try to find HTS articles that are about Afghans.
If you want to have some patriotic adventures before your PhD, I suggest you consider any of the civil affairs fields of each military branch. The Army has the largest Civil Affairs contingent, and the opportunities to do cool stuff all over the world in the reserves are very, very abundant. Many assignments across all civil affairs are very unusual and not what you’d expect from uniformed service. You could do that and still either do a research-intensive day job and/or start on your PhD. Plus, you’d get leadership opportunities that you’d never get in HTS. Civil Affairs is a very human -centric, empathy-heavy career field, and I think it would be very rewarding to almost any burgeoning psychologist. And it would look great on your resume.

It is a fact and I am sick and tired of the kids (DHS) playing with computers to abuse websites. I hear all the time how American government complains about their sites being attacked and such. So it seems that they have no reason to complain because the Department of Homeland Security is attacking Windows to Russia in a several mode style attack…
Quit it DHS, because I am not going to stop telling the TRUTH and that is the real issue isn’t it? The TRUTH…

I grabbed a cup of coffee and did some thinking’s! After what I have been seeing posted all over by the Western press this weekend, it is time to flush the туалет because the stink is getting way too strong. Every time I think that I have seen the epitome of the ways of the Western world. I am left open mouthed again at the atrocity that is shown by the West…
Update from Russian press: “Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has referred to the West’s assessment of the voting on the UN Security Council Syria resolution as unseemly and hysterical.” This is from a man who was there and in on the whole UN charade…
I find it interesting how slow the Eastern press is to respond to issues and how fast the West responds to issues. But since I worked the corporate world in America, I know how they prepare and now that I live in the East, I know how they don’t prepare. It is just simple facts, the Western press has pre-written stories that just need a little fine tuning and off to print they go. The West knows that news is happening in the world and they are ready to print the second it (whatever) is final or in many cases before it is final. The East just waits until the news happens and then they worry about printing it. Totally different mindset…
But lets get on track of what my thinking’s are. I watched a Western press elate the deaths in Syria in a purposeful display of manipulation to affect the outcome of the UN voting. At one point the West was screaming that Syria had just killed 500 people on the day of the vote at the UN. Then it settled at 200 people and then, it became a number of much less proportions after the voting was over. Last I saw the West was spouting 48 had been killed. This was the same incident that earlier had been exponentiation to 500 murdered by evil Syrian regime…
Then after the vote was done! OMG the onslaught of lies overwhelmed the airwaves and are still being spouted at a furious pace that looks to have no let up in the accumulation of data. The Western shrills that are stationed in Moscow are working overtime and the Western press in the West is no hold barred, degrading Russia and China for their decision in veto of a situation that would have led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Syrians…
I watched a Western world wet their pants in hatred and despair, when they did not get their way in the UN vote. The calls for removing Russia and China from the UN, because they are in the way of the Western Empires advances is growing stronger. The calls for war against China and Russia just stepped up a notch to the level of mildly frenzied. The word nuke them all, is so common place on American forums and blogs that it is scary. The war drums are so loud and furious that nothing else can be heard. America is wanting war in Syria, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela and several others. Many of the comments that I am seeing are just plain appalling…
It is also interesting to see that China and Russia are just now starting to get the media in gear to explain their position. The one thing that I have to say is that Russia and China see eye to eye on this issue of Syria. I also see that they see the same on Iran. It looks like the line is being drawn in the sand and we will have to wait to find out who will finish the world destruction that the West has started to try to do. It is starting to look like Russia and China are going to have to step in and try to chastise the children of the West…
Ok I know that not everyone in the West is crying out for death from the skies, but I have to say that a lot more people in the West are becoming war mongers everyday. I look at the social networks like Facebook and see swaths of comments that are centered around destroy Iran, Save Syria from the evil, Nuke North Korea and Spread Democracy by any means. Most of what is repeated by people is what we hear on the MSM everyday, day in and day out. I look at friends on Facebook and see what they post, sometimes it is scary as you read, “America is so great and we need to shove that greatness down Iran’s throat! or Go USA and take Syria out, who cares about the UN!” These are people who could not even find Iran or Syria on the map, but they want to destroy them…
I also watched the twisted words from Iran in the media this weekend. Once again we twist what Iran is saying and give it a false meaning of death to Israel. Of course Iran has the rights to verbalize words back because Israel and America have been threatening total annihilation of Iran and the words used were much harsher than anything Iran uses. But we do not talk about the threats from the West just about the threats from the East and foes…
I always thought that journalism was to be balanced and fair reporting. I thought that giving both sides was mandatory! That is why I post in my “Russian News from Russia” blog and “Fresh Coffee with a Cup of News” blog – both sides. Now Windows to Russia is my personal blog and that is what I want to post. It is my opinion or opinions that I respect. I do not claim to be a journalist, I am just a very high powered blogger who sits in Russia, who many times writes about the falsities of the Western press, plus life in Russia mixed in amongst the opinions…
That is part of the problem that the US governments has with me. I am not on their payroll and I write what I want. In fact I am on no one’s payroll (Russia definitely does not pay me! Though I wish someone would!) and I lose money on Windows to Russia every month, but even if I was on someones payroll, I would still write what I feel is correct and never – would money have something to do with my opinion. I guess I will stay a poor blogger writer…
So today I am flushing the toilet of the Western press. It just stunk too bad and needed a good flush and clean. Took a whole bottle of Ajax to scrub it away but finally the stink is gone and I am going to keep it away…
I do not see a benefit in the other side, when they do not have any rules that they have to follow. When we can fake videos, use photos from different situations, when we change the words people use, when we manipulate by lies and when we tell only what the government says we can! Then that is no longer news but censored data that has no emotions behind it any more. Pre ordained massages that are templated by the higher ups and used to convey data to the masses in the most efficient and speediest way possible…
Flush! Oh the smell is better already and that cup of coffee is oh so good…

Windows to Russia!
PS: You want a better truth to your news? Then start looking at Iran, Russian, Chinese, South American, Indian and other news sources not associated with the Western press. Just be very careful and check out who owns the news sources. Ex. Al Jazeera is a perfect situation of a bought out by the West news source…
