Sveta has a love for tracking us as we ride bikes…
I do not like riding around town, but once you get out of the busy section, life is good. We have kilometers of forest, single dwelling homes and nice paved roads to ride on. We also have lots of trails through the woods to ride on as well….and we have some terrible, but fun roads to ride on also. I call them goat trails…
Two images of the same route. It was fun…
Actually we rode bikes in the country roads of our city. We are lucky to have so many forests around us. Russia is good about making sure that people have access to wonderful parks and such to ride in and walk in. It is a good trait of Russians to have lots of playgrounds and lots of nature areas to play in…
This is all part of that exercise that fat people like me need!
The more I ride and walk, the less fat I have to deal with and the better my diabetes gets….the ride caused my blood sugar to drop faster than normal and this morning one hour earlier than usual, I was in the 4’s and it was time to get up and eat a bite of food…
WASHINGTON, August 8. /TASS/. The US authorities are imposing new sanctions on Russia because of the Skripal case, the US Department of State said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Following the use of a ‘Novichok’ nerve agent in an attempt to assassinate UK citizen Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal, the United States, on August 6, 2018, determined under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (CBW Act) that the Government of the Russian Federation has used chemical or biological weapons in violation of international law or has used lethal chemical or biological weapons against its own nationals,” the statement runs.
The sanctions will take effect on August 22, the State Department noted.
On March 4, Sergei Skripal, 66, who had been convicted in Russia for spying for the UK but later swapped for Russian intelligence officers, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were found unconscious on a bench near the Maltings shopping center in Salisbury. Police said they suffered the effects of an alleged nerve agent.
Later on, London claimed that the Novichok-class toxin had been developed in Russia. The UK rushed to accuse Russia of being involved failing to furnish any evidence. Moscow refuted the accusations stating that neither the Soviet Union nor Russia had ever done research on that toxic agent.
I have good news and bad news for US: The bad news for US is that the other part is aware of those tricks, is prepared , has learned to play better and has the winning cards. The good news is that this is the last game US will play. If it loses, there is a chance that US will finally become a normal country, maybe even transform from an Empire into a Republic and if it gains, we all lose. Including the US. Because a US gain, is not going to last long. To tell the real producers they will not do business…
After Vietnam, I found it impossible to believe in the United States. War after war, bomb after bomb, and the countless numbers of a lot of innocent deaths we caused, further strengthened and reinforced my belief. Following those escapades against the world, was the farce known as the Patriot Act, along with all the torture and violations of human rights against not just international people but our own people. If we keep on, we will eventually fanatically defend Nazis and other genocidal maniacs. Definitely not the nation portrayed in the propaganda and films of the 1980s.
We were supposed to be the best of the best, but instead we became blatantly evil and began to identify as pathetic exceptionable gods…
I wrote a comment at ZH (Zero Hedge) and I liked it. That is what becomes of you when you post for 12 years straight….so I will post it here also. This is why I write so few comments around the web… 😉
Twitter just banned me for life also, but what did I do! ~Sarc~
I am a bad boy in Gov’s eyes…
I have spent many years being destroyed by the status quo and it gets tiring after awhile. I have always walked alone and still post alone after all these years. But everyone (readers and website acquaintances) scatters like rats when Big Gov comes after you….just like everyone will run and hide when ZH gets censored…
Get ready for it. I am just a little site that at one time reached millions of unique views monthly and DC destroyed me and burned me to the ground. I am surviving as a site, because I moved the domain to Russia and the hosting to Iceland. That stopped the lawsuits and blocking from guilty until proven innocent…
I started years and years ago on Blogger Blogspot and got banned there. Had domains on Godaddy and got destroyed there. Had hosting on HostGator and got banned there. I spent a year trying to survive with India hosting and got banned there. French hosting burned my ass. Russian hosting sucks but safe, don’t try Canadian hosting and Iceland just saved me and WtR. By the way 1984 hosting is the name and you should understand what the 1984 is about…
I have been posting for over ten years and no one gives a damn, you all run when the shit hits the fan…
Tell me I am wrong! I wanna believe that we will stand up and get our country back and people should be ashamed that I have much more freedom in Russia as an American, than I do in America…
Hate all you want, but the truth is the truth. Another truth is any website that does not get censored is on the take from the status quo….I have been asked to change my tune and offered money to do just that…
I write truth, well at least truth as I see it, live it and experience it…
I gave up caring if anyone likes me a long time ago. I write for me not you and if you gather a spark of truth once in awhile, just maybe, you will see the light…
Have a nice day…

Update:
One day after what appeared to be a coordinated attack by media giants Facebook, Apple, Spotify and Google on Alex Jones, whose various social media accounts were banned or suspended in a matter of hours, the crackdown against alternative media figures continued as several Libertarian figures, including the Ron Paul Institute director, found their Twitter accounts suspended.
I have the honor to be banned, blocked and deleted from both Facebook and Twitter. It is an honor I take seriously and feel sorry for those thinking that social media is a perfect world. I used Facebook and Twitter as a way to expand the information that I present upon the WtR website and I guess someone takes offense to that.They were just tools to bring more people to see the truth…
Truth about Russia in the west is never a good thing and mixing truth about Russia and truth about America and her cronies is definitely a killer combination…
You can block my Twitter, You can Block my Facebook, but I still can use them to bring messages from others until they themselves are blocked, as I have been…
It seems someone in Washington DC has a personal issue with me and I am always finding WtR and myself in with the big boys, yet never am I even considered a big boy on the internet. Well at one time WtR was huge and scared a few in DC, it looks like they are determined to keep WtR that way… 😉
I will say that WtR’s presence had grown fast on Twitter recently and I think that was the issue…
Twitter has begun to remove tweets which it deems offensive in a move to further punish abusive behaviour on the site. The social network recently began limiting accounts after the use of language that Twitter feels is objectionable. But in a further crackdown, individual tweets are now being removed from public visibility – without informing the people who posted them.
The same leftists who spent the last 2 weeks defending Sarah Jeong & James Gunn for their offensive online speech are now celebrating Infowars being banned for offensive speech.
It is not just Tweet Tweet. It is YouTube, iTunes, Google, Twitter, Facebook and many others. The censorship is growing and sites like WtR are the targets. We tell many things that upset the status quo…
I am deeply humbled and honoured to have been appointed as a special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry in charge of Russian and American Humanitarian ties.
I hope we can strive for peace, harmony and positive results in the world.
I take this honour very seriously pic.twitter.com/LTuUxsk1aZ
His duties will involve promoting bilateral ties in a wide range of fields including culture, art, science, education, sports, public and youth exchanges, that will see him participate in relevant events both in Russia and abroad, and maintain contacts with US partners. Seagal will also engage in efforts to preserve “Russia’s memorable places in the United States, study and popularize the legacy of Russian America and other pages of our common history that are of great interest to citizens of both countrie
I am diabetic and have been for many many years. I have been a good diabetic and a very bad diabetic. I have been depressed about diabetes and I have not given a crap about it. But diabetes is a bad dude and never goes away….no matter the mood you decide to take with it…
Here in Russia, I decided to take a positive attitude about diabetes and turn that to my favor. I was lucky and found several good doctors in Russia that knew what they were talking about and they told me medicines that really helped. Then with my sweetie constantly reminding me to take my pills and to take care of myself. I discovered that with a tiny bit of effort, not crazy unattainable effort but just some effort to show that diabetes can be controlled. Never beaten, but controlled….I discovered a balance and then I discovered weight loss and then I discovered lessoning of the dosages of the pills and then I discovered how to eat correctly and….then I discovered the right attitude…
Today I dropped below 114 kilos… (around 250 pounds and or under 18 stones) This is from a high several years ago of of (and I remember and am very saddened by the fact) 340 pounds, which is 154 kilos. You realize that I have lost almost a human size in weight? This is like taking my sweet pea off my shoulders. She is not much more than that which I have lost…
With this weight loss, my sugar pill requirement has gone way down. With this weight loss I can walk, I can climb, I can dance and I can live life again. I cannot even imagine people that weigh 200 plus kilos, my god how terrible…
I have been stable taking just a 500mg twice a day of Glucophage (metformin) and nothing else for sugar issues. My diabetes is getting under control and weight is the biggest factor. My being fat was my downfall. I was taking 1000mg twice a day and maximum dosage twice a day of another pill (Amaryl – glimepiride)….it was according different dosages blue, pink and green. I went from the highest dosage available twice a day to the least available and then several months ago, dropped it all together. I have seen things get better yet, for I was eating just to keep blood sugar up enough at the end…
I am not happy being fat still, yet I am happy to have lost the weight of a big German Shepard and believe you me, life is easier…
Therefore, I do not kid myself and I am trying to dream of a day that I reach 200 pounds. I remember those days still. I could jump and dunk a basketball, maybe that will never happen again at my age, but 200 pounds can happen and for me to live a long happy life with my sweet pea (Svetochka,) I need to lose weight…
22 kilos….that is it! Just a few more years….keep it slow and keep it off…
Besides, I want to stop taking all sugar pills and be able to control it with diet and exercise only…
WtR
PS: By the way, dropping even sugar pill dosages, you will find that you will withdrawal and do so only under controlled conditions. I had a big dependency on many medicines and have gone through hell and back at times dropping dosages and then weaning from them completely…
I knew there had to be a redneck somewhere in Russia. Russia has a bunch of wannabe rednecks, but to be an official redneck, certain items have to be used and driven in…
This means that you have to import an official redneck truck from America. Russians trucks are very badass, but redneck they are not… 😉
Even has the roll bar and exhaust out of the truck bed….plus multi colored paint scheme, rust and grind marks from attempts at body repair…
I had one just like it, except I would never live with the lime green, well unless I had to…
Russian Life…
Lets look at some images that Svetochka has taken…

Americans lost yesterday…
I walked Svetochka to the train station. It was early morning and it was the first time for a week since I was able to even do such a walk. I have just been very sick and was collapsed in bed. All good…
As I walked home…
I spied two black gals and tried to change direction, but they spied me and decided that I was a kindly soul and would help them, yet in reality, my desire to help anyone was at a low point of priorities for me right then…
Now understand that these gals stood out like a sore thumb in our area of town (Actually they stand out like two sore thumbs in 99% of Russia!) To boot, they were obviously, (to me,) from America. Not Britain and or Africa direct, but America…
They had a piece of paper with words written on it in Russian and they were trying to express what they needed to me as they asked for directions. I kinda studied their faces and they looked at me expectantly for help, but knowing that they have been going in circles and are lost, they had a downtrodden look about them…
And they also had that, “Deer in the headlights look…” in their eyes…
Here stood in front of me an interesting situation for me. Do I be a Good Bear or do I be a Bad Bear?
So I stayed neutral and just said, “What are you two doing here?” as I waved my arms around, showing that we were in the middle of a pure white, honky and cracker type group of humans. Hundreds of thousands to be exact and they were lost in the middle of it….but to be honest, they are safer right here than they are back home in, as I found out, Chicago, Illinois, USA…
After we picked up their lower jaws off the ground…
I said as I pointed at myself, “Amerikanski” and they said in unison, “Huh?”
I guess we don’t use that word in the USA?
I told them how to find the bus station, for a Russian had sent them to the train station and they had simply asked for the station and everyone knows that the station is that way! 😉
Want to know something?
I never did find out, “What are you two doing here?”
I just hope they stay safe, they seemed like nice girls and to be honest with you, more Americans need to get out in the world and see, “What the Hell is going on!” For that I am proud of them….getting lost in a city of 15,000,000 people and at the outskirts of that city, I worry a bit, but not much. Russia is safe…
Oh and treat people how you would hope to be treated if you were having issues, always, even if you are a grouchy bear…
Svetochka and I have to now reschedule our trip to the Tiny Russian Village. It was a good thing that Sveta had taken vacation, because I was very sick and needed help. I was that sick and when I literally cannot post, I am more than sick…
Therefore as I get stronger and back in the swing of things, I will start post more again…
