Windows to Russia

Well! Svetochka just purchased train tickets back to Moscow for Sunday night. No option, Sammy is going to take a few more days! The engine is in, but and there is always a but, it just will not happen in the original time frame. Therefore, Boza and I stay one more week at the Tiny Russian Village and next weekend if all is good, Svetochka will come Friday night and ride home with us after a few days in the village again. This is not what we planned, but it is the only option right now…

I told Sveta that we would drive home after it is done and all will be good. But she wants to come back and ride with us. Svetochka loves road trips and she loves cruising the highway with her guys. We like when Svetochka is with us too…

Today we go to the Big Village to see Sammy the Volga and make sure all is getting done. They (guys working on Sammy) will come and pick us up and take us to the Big Village. The guys are working hard on her, but they seem to have a parts issue and parts take a couple of days to get them. It is all good and we need to go to town to get more food, because it looks like Boza and I will spend at least another week here in the Tiny Russian Village…

Truth is; We do not wanna leave! Oh well! I also want the car done correctly and the guys should not hurry to achieve something that will be Jury-Rigged to get it done…

Oh that coffee is so so good. I think I will have two cups this morning and a cup of hot tea to boot!

It’s going to be a good day, yesterday was sunny and cold, but sunny! Did I say sunny? Today the same and we will get lots done. Yesterday, we harvested our crops. Over a hundred beets, a hundred carrots, hundreds of potatoes and tomatoes galore. We had strawberries, but Svetochka has been eating them as fast as she finds them. She is fun to watch, her face lights up with delight when she finds a strawberry that she missed the first time. Then it is yummy and smiles…

I love that girl!

We have a whole dehydrator full of mushrooms and they will be done this morning. We ate mushrooms and ate mushrooms, but still had too many mushrooms to eat left over. So, I am drying them. They will be great for soup, along with all the dried tomatoes and turnips. I have dried untold thousands of items total this summer. Soup is a Russian mainstay and I will be making soup all winter with all the goodies I have in stock…

I am thinking about dehydrating potatoes, they will store easy that way and will last for years that way. In the food service world I worked in, dehydrated potatoes is a mainstay for price control. So easy to hydrate and use for many things… Dehydrated potatoes in soup are the cat’s meow…

* * * * * * * * * *

Sveta and I need to take the wheelbarrow to the pine forest and gather pine needles to winterize our plants. I figure if we can get the pear trees through this first winter alive, they will make it. The rose is going to be another story and it hopefully will be protected somewhat by its proximity to the home. The little pine tree, still loves his “protection can” and wants it all winter. No! He wants his big can around him for the winter… 🙂

Who am I to argue?

* * * * * * * * * *

I can feel it! I hear it! I see it! It is going to be a hard winter. The people are talking, the animals are busy getting ready and the ones who were going to try to stay, have skedaddled. Old man winter is beating his chest, as he wakes from his short sleep. I keep looking around and wonder, what happened to autumn?

That’s Russia for you and Boza & I love it!

Svetochka takes pictures constantly. This is a few she left on the desktop of the computer. So I posted them…

Boza (who has lots of pictures of him) and I seem to be in front of her camera all the time. 🙂

We were mushroom hunting and we found a whole bag full of delicious mushrooms. We found the mushrooms prized by all the Tiny Russian Villagers and these mushrooms were in our yard and the small field next to our home. If you look closely at the image with Boza, his ball and me picking them. You can see the mushrooms right in front of Boza. Small brown domes and this year, after about five years, we had another crop of them under our birch trees. Then we went to a small cluster of birches near our yard and finished loading up the bag with yummy mushrooms. These mushrooms in the field had evaded the eagle eyed villagers. For one thing Tiny Russian Village people do is constantly mushroom…

I think that mushrooms rank up there in healing powers, along with honey, garlic, basil and even cabbage leaves for throat issues. Mushrooming is serious business and a Muscovite will drive all day to get to there famous mushroom spot, that only they know about…

We have such a spot in out yard and every few years it will produce a bunch of mushrooms and now I found another spot that no one has discovered. So keep it a secrete, will you? We like our mushrooms also, as well and or too… 😉

Got and e-mail…

Well my extreme distaste of your nation harbors ever so slight pity on the ones who understand what your country has become. I only hope you and the likes of you can change this course your country has taken, but I don’t see it happening. The USA (you) will be the cause of more wars and greater wars till your country disintegrates from within, or is destroyed through other means. The freedom of the world now depends on the destruction of the USA, removal of its stranglehold on the world financial system, military occupations, terrorist funding and and destructive global influence.

I answered:

Not all of us, is correct. But for you to harbor any pity is too lose the edge over what we do as a nation against the world. There are still some people who think freely in this country and or other western countries. There are still some of us left here and or there, we are just treated like crazy people when we voice our opinions. We are attacked by both the fearful peasants and the driving force of the governmental agencies. Both sides feel they have much too lose and everything to gain by keeping the status quo…

That is the new normal in America and even the west, to treat the remaining free thinkers as crazy lunatics…

* * * * * * * * * *

That is how I feel and yes I am crazy in most eyes…

That kind of crazy that never stops a job he has started and when I believe in what is correct? I will fight to the death, good or bad and I have been alive a long time doing just that. So there must be something in the method of my madness!

There are times we must stand up and fight! If you always turn your head and look at the pretty propaganda, they will play behind your back, as you are distracted. Gathering gumption and clenching your fists is sometimes the only way to drive yourself to do what is needed…

I care about America; I know that we have always been a corrupt nation, but when they did not impress upon us little people and allowed us to live in freedom of simple actions and curtailed in many governmental pressures. It was all tolerable….Cops were the friends, you could eat and drink what you want, carrying a beer open on the street was not a crime to humanity, smoking was okay (bad for you but okay!), children could be children, a fag was a cigarette butt, Gay was still a woman’s name and a word of joy and so on and so on…

Look we did not fool ourselves; we knew our government was a piece of crap…

But it, the government, stayed out of most of our affairs… “Not anymore!” , said the little chickadee…

* * * * * * * * * *

The truth is; We are all crazy!

You are crazy if you do not want to change things for the better, you are crazy if you hide behind locked doors, you are crazy if you accept governmental nanny state as necessary, you are crazy if you hate big government, you are crazy to want raw milk, you are crazy to want to collect rain water, you are crazy to question orders of the police, you are crazy to be gay, crazy if you are not gay, crazy if you are a communist, crazy if you are a Zionists, crazy if you want to abort children, crazy if you want to have children, crazy if you believe in God, crazy if you wear furs, crazy if you have tattoos, crazy if you don’t pay taxes, crazy if you pay taxes, crazy if you listen to Fox News, crazy if you don’t believe all that New York Times says, Crazy to want to walk and not get mugged, crazy to walk at night, crazy to tell the truth, crazy to lie, crazy to let your kid ride a bike without protection, crazy if you do even let them ride a bike, crazy to spend your life raising a family, crazy if you try to work a job and raise a family, crazy if your kid is left home alone, crazy if you do not want to pay out half your paycheck in childcare, crazy to be fat, crazy to be skinny, crazy to think for yourself, crazy if you even think at all, crazy if you dream, crazy if you stagnate, crazy if you loan money, crazy if you save money, crazy not to buy a new home, crazy not to buy a new car, crazy if you did buy a new car and can not afford it, crazy that you can not keep up with the “Jones’s,” and lets end with, you are crazy to think others are crazy, for they think you are crazy for thinking they are crazy and everyone thinks everyone is crazy, for not doing exactly like they want you to do and as a bonus ending – to top it all off; Big Brother our government is crazy, but we are scared to death of that “CRAZY”!

And that my friend is the worst crazy of all!

The stove is probably the most important item for winter in the village home. That is assuming that your roof is sound, your walls still standing and no one has made huge holes through the house like Swiss Cheese. The stove is what heats your home, cooks your food and boils your water for coffee and tea. The wood stove keeps Old Man Winter outside and you warm inside…

Yes it is old and yes it is not fancy. But it works and Boza and I stayed comfortable last winter, with +30 kilometer winds and -33 below zero. It got frosty… It is not the cold, it is the wind that is the killer…

I work on our websites and write Windows to Russia, as Boza lays next to me on the couch. He likes his warm spot and he can lay his head on my lap if he wants to be scratched behind the ears. Boza my buddy…

I just love these mushrooms popping up all over the place…

Boza and I live a very simple life…

* * * * * * * * * *

Svetochka made it here safe and sound. She is sleeping away this morning and is happy as a bug in a rug. I built a fire for her last night and it got a little warm for me, but she was happy…

We are hoping that today we get a sign from the automotive gods, that our car is ready. It is hard to be patient and so far away from our car. It is not like I can walk down the street to the local shop and say, “HI! Need any help?” The help word makes mechanics cringe and shudder. They also may get the job done faster, if they think you may come everyday, every hour, Uh; every minute, maybe even live in the shop with them and say, “HI! Need any help?” Heaven forbid trying to help… (Then again they may hurt your ass also!)

All the while you have no idea what you would even do if they said, “Yes, go grab that crescent wrench and turn on the huge propane tank valve at the dumpster area and smoke a cigarette. Please!”

Have a nice day…

Yesterday, I sat with about five people, all Russians and all villagers…

They are very upset at the state that America has become. So many Russians have in the past adored the USA. It has ideas and democracy sounds so wonderful too so many in the world. But!

What is happening now is Americas own fault. Russians listen to news from all over the world, not just, as is supposed by the west, just Russian news outlets. Someone like my buddy Vova has satellite TV and he can see news from all over the world. Several others have the same and being a Russian, they only believe half of what is said by their governmental services. Russians are smart and know crap when they see it. They also know crap when it is excreted from mainstream media out of the west. There are still wannabe believers. But they see the light at the end of the tunnel…

Obama has definitely become a very hated individual, for his lies and games have permeated the world and have destroyed all goodwill that was left in the world, toward America. Russians know that it is not the people in America like them that are doing this destruction, but they also know that sometimes you have to rise up above the leaders and dance upon their heads. The point has to be made and when enough is enough, change things. Russians do have a history of being patient for long times, but when the need arises, they will come out in the streets. Not the paid lackeys, but the regular people. They will stand and fight for what is right…

When they are happy with their leader, they support that leader and do not question why things are done the way they are. Russians are very trusting and very happy with long term leaders. The issue is, “Do not break that trust!”

No one, but no one running for president of the US, is considered worth a hill of beans and Obama and his administration have become akin to the the devil himself. This is what comes from illegal sanctions and the repercussions of such sanctions will mar the future deals for many years. The US has lost the worlds trust and we can not count the paid lackeys such as Britain and Israel. These bought puppet scared countries, have to do what is said, or suffer and loose what goodies they have. Rule by bully is a bad way to run the show…

Then as I was sitting there and listening (?) to what was said. They all turned to me and I realized that they had asked me something. I was in thought and did not catch it…

I was asked what will I do? I was confused and then after a few more words of where will I go and what happens to me, if war breaks out? AND they do expect and understand that America is pushing for war! They understand that America and the west is in deep issues and war is basically the only way to clean the slate…

Russians know war. War has been on their doorsteps too many times in their history and they know what they see happening is real. Not a made up game of thrones to have a good time with. These people wanted to know if I would go back to America if forced or would I stay with them? Vova said something like, “Boza sleeps on couch and you have a bed in my room, if needed. Kommuna (Tiny Russian Village) is small and safe!”

I sat and thought about what was said…

They switched subject as if they understood I was thinking. They talked about who was thinking of staying in the village all winter this year. Several people are working on their places and we may just have five or six people this winter staying. Then a guy named Nikolai asked me, “What is wrong with Americans!”

That is a good question and surprised me. I have said many times that Russians are intellects and they want to know about why things happen…

I said one word, “ленивый” or in our letters – lenivyy…. (idle, indolent, slothful, work-shy, shiftless, inactive, underactive, sluggish, lethargic; remiss, negligent, slack, lax, lackadaisical)

Hate me all you want, but most Americans I know fit the above. Some don’t, but many more do than not. And it seems that the only thing that gets them off their ass, is to have those words above threatened…

The above word, “ленивый” is what becomes of a society that has too much handed to them. Too much food, too much free, too much money, to much anything. When you buy off the people through entitlements, that you really do not have a right to have. You have been paid to be what they want you to be…

Much of the world is bought and paid for through glorified entitlements, it keeps the masses happy. The kings can party in splendor and caviar, while the peasants party with beer and hotdogs. All are happy until the hotdogs and beer disappear…

Enough of that sidetracking…

Russians understand this word (“ленивый”) well!

It is very looked down upon! The Russians still feel that you must walk in your own shoes and make your own way. The difference in west to east is that family and friends are expected to help make your way. Not governmental services and not state services. But simply, you do what you have to do to make it in the world and when you do? You are a better person for it!

If that means leave the country? Then leave! If that means pull up old railroad steel ties, then sell them! Then do it. If that means to steal a bridge to use somewhere else? Then do it. But do what it takes, for survival is the number one issue and Russians are survivors…

Everything is fair game in Russia and it is the true wild west at times. Just a wild west with intellects. They will punish their own, when needed and ignore everything if needed. They will stand up and fight when needed, but they will give you every chance to alter your path of destruction…

This my friend is what America sees as weakness in Russia. The Russians keep trying to work with America on the world stage and America, who is slapping Russia on purpose, sees only that Russian is weak. The opposite is a fact and we have woke the Russian Bear and she has cubs and will do what it takes to protect them…

My single word gave them a pause in thought. I could see the gears turning and the thinking’s about who they know the same way. Russia has its share of stupid also. In fact Russian actions within their world, can seem pretty stupid to outsiders. At least until you live with them and see their existence firsthand…

Then you realize that Russians live life and many stand on their own feet and are proud of that fact. With that life come stupidity. I call it thinning the weeds!

* * * * * * * * * *

I had to smile watching this video! Let the girl dance and who cares what anyone thinks…

Ignore the few huge cities and realize that Russia still has her roots, This is so Russian that I am amazed…. This what the Russians kids that live around these villages where I am, look like. They are good looking kids and very smart. They are not rich by any means, but yet they are! They live life in freedom…

The boy has several videos on his channel and he is not bad playing. I am guessing the little girl is his sister and I thought about how many times I have watched Russians play their music. They play with spoons, instruments and even just their hands, as they slap at the wall. It is all soul release and it is good for you…

Made me genuinely smile and so does the fact that the villagers want me in their life…

The Tiny Russian Village is full of mushrooms. Not long ago we had the first crop of these monster mushrooms everywhere and now they are back in even more numbers. They seem to pop up over night and then a few days later are going away. The weather has been perfect for this variety of mushroom and they are invading us. If I stop posting? You will know that the mushrooms took over the the Tiny Russian Village and we have met our demise…

The problem is; If these mushrooms where the ones everyone likes to eat, then we would win the battle, but it seems that this mushroom, no one cares about and they flourish with no predator. Therefore, you can see these umbrellas all through the fields. Nothing but worms eat them and that is only when they start to rot from age…

I like them and think they are really cool…

* * * * * * * * * *

Yesterday, the birdbrains acted like a bunch of collage kids trying to squeeze into a phone booth. Well at least in my era they did such things. The bird feeder had a record number of birdbrains stuffed into it and I watched how they pushed all the seed out onto the ground and just looked out from their feeder. They finally decided to go to the ground and eat all that seed, but not before acting like a bunch of rejects…

It was so stupid to watch, that I finally started to laugh and instead of running away as they usually do. They all got quiet and stared at me. I stopped laughing and thought about the Alfred Hitchcock movie, “The Birds!”

I told Svetochka later on the phone, “If you do not hear from us for awhile, then maybe “The Birds,” ate us!”

Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!

Well….Sammy the Volga is in the shop!

She has gone to the doctor to get a new heart. Her engine was on its death bed and she needed a new one. The transplant is underway and will take three or four days. From what I am understanding, as per normal, they will pull the old engine and transmission and drop the newer one in. That is the easiest way and also assures a matched gearbox to the engine. That is the best way. Besides, our gearbox has showed signs of aging and needs replaced also. This kills two birds with one stone…

Seems strange to be in the Tiny Russian Village without our trusty Volga. She is part of the family!

* * * * * * * * * *

America seems to be getting some flack tossed at them! This is what happens when you mettle into things you have no reason to mettle with and or if your reasons are execrable! That seems to help sway future desires for revenge to the positive side…

Thus, the terror mongering begins by the media and the politicians. Maybe they should admit where the issue comes from and looking into the mirror is the first place to start. If America terrorizes other countries, then expect retaliation, for many many years down the road. People who have families destroyed by the military complex of the US, will wait and get revenge and get revenge and get revenge…

Maybe, just maybe, we should have stopped our representatives from invading countries that we have no reason to be invading? And…..

Maybe we need to change how we look at the world. That is a good start…

Really the image above might seem to be funny, but when you live outside of the borders of the US, it does not seem so funny and the real issue is; Many Americans look at the world this way!

Did you know that there is a slew of legal movies on YouTube. Full length and if you stay with the foreign films with subtitles, you can find some seriously good movies. Movies that are fun to watch. Just do not mess with the Hollywood movies, they might jail your ass for life! But grab a Chinese movie and enjoy. Or grab a Bollywood movie and have a good time watching how movies use to be made…

If you are into Sci-Fi like I am. The animated movies all over YouTube are incredible. Quality is fantastic and it is amazing to see movies made from PlayStation, they are really good…

Millet – grab some millet and feed your birds. In Russia; millet is around 20 rubles a kilo. The birdbrains will love it and if you toss in some oatmeal flakes, they will go nuts. I also am going to try millet as a cooked product and if it works, will eat millet also. Boza says, “No Way!”

Well….winding down this article. Oh yes, I rebuilt the wood burning stove yesterday. Today I will fire it up and see if all is good. It is cold people! +2 this morning and I suspect frost this week. Gotta get ready…

Have a nice day!

I need to be at the Big Village at around 10 o’clock. Then I leave Sammy the Volga for the week, until she is done. I am going to take a picture of the engine she has right now and then I will take an image after she is done. There is going to be a huge difference in what she has for a power plant. She is going to get a much more modern fuel injected engine and this should give her another 10 years or so in life. Gone is the propane fuel system and gone will be the carburetor system. We will gain about 60 more horsepower in new to new, but in our case, running on only two and a half cylinders, we will gain at least 100+ horsepower in the real world. The propane, while very money saving in the years gone by, has destroyed the engine in the long run. This is the case many times with old engines and alternate fuel sources. Sammy’s old engine also was destroyed by fuel or lack of it, in the form of benzine. Sammy was designed to run on 70 octane leaded fuel and all that is available for years now is 92 octane unleaded. The 80 octane that we ran for years (and has been phased out now,) was terrible and unleaded, it has all taken its toll on Sammy’s engine…

But she ran and ran! We have put ten’s of thousands of kilometers on her (with buying her at 100,000 plus kilometers originally) and she rarely complained…

* * * * * * * * * *

Therefore, I will also go to the store and get food, for Svetochka is coming Wednesday and she wants to eat! I will meet her at the walk bridge and we will walk home. The same today, the guys working on the car, will drop me off at the other side of the river and I will walk the two kilometers home. This is the normal way for the Tiny Russian Villagers to get around. We also have a bus stop another few kilometers away and can use a bus to get around. Buses run constantly in Russia and that is a big help in getting around…

Woke this morning with blood sugar at 5.2 mmol/l. That is good! Had to eat finally, could feel the hypo coming on. My body still struggles to keep sugar inline, looks like a rest of my life issue? Exercise and eating properly is 80% of the battle….

About a week and Boza and I go back to our home in Moscow and then we start the mad rush to get everything done. Boza has doctors to see, I have doctors to see and I have to get ready for a hard winter. This week we will harvest the crops and we are going to have some huge carrots and beets. I am still getting tomatoes and strawberries and we will have hundreds of pounds of potatoes…

All in all the garden was very successful and will supply food for the whole winter easily. That is the name of the game!

In Arizona, USA – you might want to look over your shoulder as you change your kids diaper. You may have issues with childcare?

http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=13

The problematic part of the statutes is in the definitions section (13-1401).

‘3. “Sexual contact” means any direct or indirect touching, fondling or manipulating of any part of the genitals, anus or female breast by any part of the body or by any object or causing a person to engage in such contact.’

I see a future of crap with this stupid Arizona law and deranged spouses will use it to try to destroy their ex-spouse… Don’t wipe that kids butt or genitals when they crap their pants…But then they will get you for child neglect if you don’t clean the kid…

Warmed up this morning, +8 degrees and really not bad out. Seems I am getting use to the cold already. Boza and I walked already and we chased some mice around the house. This is the time of the year that they come in from outside as fast as you can get rid of them. I just heard one in the ceiling area! Give me that shotgun Mable!

Elections in Russia and the Russian news sites are swarmed with TROLLS! I mean they are out in droves, attacking Russians as the Russians try to just talk about their life. It is really sick and there is three main bases for trolls to come from – Australia, Britain and the USA. Never seen the likes of a bunch of idiots from these countries spouting off about Russia, Putin and democracy. You can just see that they are paid and are very transparent. Surprisingly, many say they are paid and are proud of it…

It would be funny, except they invade all sites, if given half a chance. I know, I dealt with it for years, until, I figured out how to deal with it. Does’t happen anymore and my site server thanks our hosting company… (https://www.1984hosting.com/) It is the best there is…

US-coalition forces struck the Syrian airbase at Deir el-Zour: The US Administration Defends ISIS… (No not a question, just the truth.)

TASS News Agency: According to the Syrian government forces’ command, 62 servicemen were killed and 100 more injured in an airstrike by the US-led coalition near the city of Deir ez-Zor:

Russia comes to conclusion that the US defends IS — Foreign Ministry

“If this is the case, then maybe this is exactly why the US side does not agree on publishing the Russian-US agreements on Syria,” Russian Foreign Ministry’s official spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said… More: http://tass.com/world/900514

MOSCOW, September 17. /TASS/. US airstrikes at the Syrian army lead to the conclusion that Washington defends the Islamic State (terrorist organization banned in Russia), Russian Foreign Ministry’s official spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Rossiya 24 TV channel on Sunday.

“If we had suspicions earlier that this is in defense of Jebhat al-Nusra (terrorist organization banned in Russia), then now, after today’s airstrikes at the Syrian army, we come to a scary conclusion — the White House defends IS,” Zakharova said.

“If this is the case, then maybe this is exactly why the US side does not agree on publishing the Russian-US agreements on Syria,” she continued. “We demand explanations from Washington – whether this is a deliberate policy to support IS or a mistake,” she noted.

According to the Syrian government forces’ command, 62 servicemen were killed and 100 more injured in an airstrike near the city of Deir ez-Zor. Russian Defense Ministry’s official spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that on Saturday, “from 5pm to 5:50pm near an aerodrome of the Deir ez-Zor city (Syria), the aircraft of ‘anti-IS coalition’ (two F-16 and two A10) delivered four airstrikes at units of Syrian government forces which were surrounded by Islamic State terrorist groupings,” Konashenkov noted.

The US’ sudden attempt to “help” the Syrian army fighting ISIS in the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor, which resulted in a strike that killed and injured dozens of soldiers, does not look like an honest mistake, Russia’s UN envoy told journalists at the UNSC meeting.

“It is highly suspicious that the United States chose to conduct this particular air strike at this time,” Russia’s ambassador Vitaly Churkin said.

Churkin questioned why the US suddenly chose to “help” the Syrian army defend Deir ez-Zor after all these years, recalling how American forces just observed terrorists’ movements and did “nothing when ISIS advanced on Palmyra.”

More: https://www.rt.com/news/359691-us-strike-syria-unsc-churkin/

It is now clear, we (United States) supports the ISIS and therefore; since we admit that we did this and we is the USA, that makes it all good!

Samantha Power the Queen of the Neocons and a person who has more power than Obama in America; speaks out her ass, as always…

During the emergency UN Security Council meeting on Saturday called by Russia only hours after a US-led airstrike degraded Syrian Army positions leading to the death of some 80 soldiers and “paving the way” for a major Daesh offensive, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations refused to offer remorse but instead laid the blame for the crisis in Syria directly at the feet of the Russian Aerospace Forces who she says is “bombing civilians” and the Assad regime who she claims gave rise to Daesh.

“Why are we having this meeting tonight? It is a diversion from what is happening on the ground. If you don’t like what is happening on the ground then you distract. It is a magician’s trick… we encourage the Russian Federation to have emergency meetings with the Assad regime and deliver them to this deal,” said an aggressive Samantha Power. “What Russia is alleging tonight is that somehow the United States is undermining the fighting against ISIL. The Russian spokesperson even said that the United States might be complicit in this attack… This is not a game,” said the diplomat before going into details on the United States fight against the terror group. “The Syrian regime that bills itself as the fighter against ISIL let the group grow and grow. ISIL took root and prospered right next to the Assad regime,” said Power. “The best way to fight ISIL and al-Nusra Front is to stop bombing civilians and deliver the Assad regime. Assad’s tactics have been a gift to terrorists. There is a better way forward, but Russia really needs to stop the cheap point scoring and grandstanding and focus on what matters. The implementation of something that we have negotiated in good faith with them.” “We regret the loss of life, but since 2011 Assad’s regime have been striking Syrian civilians relentlessly,” exclaimed the American diplomat in an attempt apparently to justify the violation of the ceasefire or to downplay the urgency of the meeting at hand. Some who watched the statements by Samantha Power described it as the US Ambassador to the United Nations blaming Assad for US warplanes bombing his forces.

An Obama administration official offered an official statement of regret for the loss of life caused by a US-led airstrike against Syrian Army positions in violation of a ceasefire — an attack that led the Russian Foreign Ministry to wonder whether the White House is aiding Daesh.

“Sorry we made a mistake!” says the USA… (It was only an airbase for Syria!)

Thy name is, “Chaos!”

Boza and I were walking at 5 a.m. and met a few guys staying at the Tiny Russian Village, to go duck hunting. One of them was a veterinarian. He was looking at Boza as we all talked and then said, “He is blind!”

I told him, “Yes!”

Then he did a few things as Boza stood there quietly and he told me that as soon as I get to Moscow, have him checked, but not much will help. The They can help any discomfort, but it looks as though he is not in trouble at that area. He petted Boza and his head and told me, “Your friend?”

I said yes and he scratched Boza behind the ears. Then said, Good friend!

I walked home and thought about Russian guys and have 90% of the time found them very intelligent and observant. This group was the same and they were on their way to their favorite hunting spot. They had their sons with them and they were all professionals in businesses. I meet many good people out here in the middle of nowhere and it is interesting. While I have never met them before, they knew who I am and were really happy to meet the American finally. It looks as if the Tiny Russian Village grapevine has expanded and included all family members of the villagers…

Thus a cup of coffee, which is Oh So Good and here pretty quick I have to go to the Big Village. Boza and I have walked three times already and I will leave at around 7 a.m. Boza is already sleeping again and in 20 minutes I will leave. I hear the boom of the shot guns these guys have and they have some very nice double barrels, by the way. Most use 12 gauge or about 70mm and one even had a 10 gauge. The double barrels that Russians use are extremely high quality and many are British made… And yes there is lots of guns in Russia, just not handguns and unnecessary type weapons. But they have some fine double rifles and shotguns. Don’t kid yourself what a shotgun can do with slugs, or some of these double rifles with solid jacket bullets. When they hunt wild boars, they are using some heavy powered weapons…

Svetochka comes on Wednesday (Happy Bear!), the engine is pulled from the other Volga (Happier Bear yet!), Have to pull the money donated for the engine being done this morning (Happy again!) and this next weekend I have to go back to Moscow. (Grumble and rumble Bear!)

Time to get Boza to the doctor, me to the doctor, my cracked tooth done and leave Russia for a few weeks. This all has to be done in a month and then I need to get back before winter sets in and snows the Tiny Russian Village under!

Well, time to go! Got lots to do when I get back and I want to get to town before it wakes up. Just too busy for me when all the Big Villagers get up and going…

Have a nice day…

Here is an article for all to read. This is in public domain and comes from Harvard. Take it how you want and believe it or not! This is not a eastern study and not from proclaimed evil countries. It is simply a deep fact study of reality and what is and has happened to the USA…
