Well we did! We declared war on Russia through Ukraine. It is official, in writing and voted on and passed, the Resolution passed 348 for and 48 against. This is exactly what I have been say about America for years now and we have just witnessed a perfect scenario of, you get who you vote for, and you got a war with Russia…

I realize that you will only care when the missiles hit, on the home turf in America, but we don’t have to be pushing the lies like this. We have now covered up the lies, with an official sounding resolution, hope this makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, to accept the fact that we are getting ready to die. Unless we stop the warmongering, Administration of the U.S….

This is an official declaration of war against Russia by the USA. It can only be interpreted one way. That is the fact that the USA wants a war and nothing but a war with Russia. The only truth within this resolution is the fact that the U.S. is desperately trying to cover up its lies and games, by directing all resources against Russia. Don’t take my word for it. Read the PDF file and look it up on the internet and see that it is the actual fact PDF from the government of the USA…

H. RES. ll
114TH CONGRESS
1ST SESSION

Calling on the President to provide Ukraine with military assistance to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. ENGEL (for himself, Mr. ROYCE, Mr. SMITH of Washington, Mr. THORN-BERRY, Mr. SCHIFF, Mr. NUNES, Ms. KAPTUR, Mr. ROGERS of Ken-
tucky, Mr. LEVIN, Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN, and Mr. FITZPATRICK) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on

resolution
Calling on the President to provide Ukraine with military assistance to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Whereas the existence of an independent, democratic, and prosperous Ukraine is in the national interest of the United States;

Whereas the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin has engaged in relentless political, economic, and military aggression to subvert the independence and violate the territorial integrity of Ukraine;

Whereas this aggression includes the illegal and forcible occupation of Crimea by Russian military and security forces;

Whereas this Russian aggression includes the establishment and control of violent separatist proxies in other areas of Ukraine, including arming them with lethal weapons and other materiel including tanks, artillery, and rockets that have enabled separatist militias to launch and sustain an insurrection that has resulted in over 6,000 dead, 15,000 wounded, and more than a million displaced persons;

Whereas military and security forces of the Russian Federation have been infiltrated into these areas of Ukraine and continue to provide direct combat support to the separatist groups in this conflict;

Whereas failure to stop this aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, especially its unprovoked and armed intervention in a sovereign country, illegal and forcible occupation of its territory, and unilateral efforts to redraw the internationally-recognized borders of Ukraine undermines the foundation of the international order that was established and has been defended at great cost by the United States and its allies in the aftermath of World War II;

Whereas Russian aggression against Ukraine is but the most visible and recent manifestation of a revisionist Kremlin strategy to redraw international borders and impose its will on its neighbors, including NATO allies;

Whereas on September 18, 2014, President Petro Poroshenko addressed a Joint Meeting of Congress at which he thanked the United States for the military assistance it has provided to defend the freedom and territorial integrity of his country and asked for “both non-lethal and lethal” military assistance, stating that “one cannot win a war with blankets”;

Whereas the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey stated on March 3, 2015, that “we should absolutely consider providing lethal aid” to Ukraine;

Whereas Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter stated on February 4, 2015, during his confirmation hearing that he is “very much inclined” toward providing Ukraine with weapons to defend itself;

Whereas Congress provided the President with the authorization and budgetary resources to provide Ukraine with military assistance to enhance its ability to defend its sovereign territory from the unprovoked and continuing aggression of the Russian Federation, including in the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014, which was signed into law on December 18, 2014;

Whereas the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 specifically authorizes the provision of anti-armor weapons, crew-served weapons and ammunition, counter-artillery radars, fire control, range finder, and optical and guidance and control equipment, tactical troop-operated surveillance drones, and secure command and communications equipment;

Whereas even as it faces a massive military assault, Ukraine is confronting an economic crisis that requires both long term financial and technical assistance by the United States and the international community, especially the countries of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, as well as fundamental economic and political reforms by the government of Ukraine;

Whereas the United States and its allies should provide assistance to support energy diversification and efficiency initiatives in Ukraine to lessen its vulnerability to coercion by the Russian Federation;

Whereas the United States and its allies should continue to work with Ukrainian officials to develop plans to increase energy production and efficiency in order to increase energy security beyond the short-term;

Whereas the United States, in close cooperation with international donors, has provided Ukraine with macro-economic assistance to boost Ukraine’s economy; and Whereas the United States and its allies need a long-term strategy to expose and challenge Vladimir Putin’s corruption and repression at home and his aggression abroad:

Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives strongly urges the President to fully and immediately exercise the  authorities provided by Congress to provide Ukraine with lethal defensive weapon systems to enhance the ability of the people of Ukraine to defend their sovereign territory from the unprovoked and continuing aggression of the Russian Federation.

In Gods name, are we seriously wanting to destroy the world. Seriously people are we going to sit and watch Kardashian ass and allow the US to kill us all. Think I am wrong, then you are the problem and you condone the lies, such as presented in the resolution passed above…

Read the damn thing! Read it with open eyes and ask yourself question. Ask, “Why?” Ask, “Why are we pushing to war with Russia?” Then ask, “Why are we doing this, when Russia is not doing anything that is in the resolution?”

Ask, “What Russian aggression?” (Proof?)
Ask, “Why is Ukraine in the national interest of the US?” (Proof?)
Ask, “What weapons supplied by Russia?” (Proof?)
Ask, “What imposing on neighbors by Russia?” (Proof?)

Ask a thousand more and keep asking…

There should be endless questions asked over this resolution and no one should accept a word of this until proof positive is presented to allow the world to see the aggression by Russia. This is a true example of the instigator, trying to shift the blame to the pacifistic…

PS: The U.S. Congress needs a psychiatric check up; It’s safe to say that they are almost 100% sociopaths, psychopaths, child rapists, drunks, deviants, mentally challenged, and Satanic…

The west has hung itself and now we will see how long they hang with the rope around their neck. Sooner or later they will get tired of holding the rope, so they can breath and then strangulated to death, as the grip slips…

“BEIJING—Total SA (a French Oil Giant) is pushing ahead with a $27 billion natural-gas project in the Russian Arctic, but it will seek a big chunk of the financing—as much as $15 billion worth—through Chinese banks in local currency and euros…

The excerpt above originally appeared in The WSJ…”

Yes, really and I am seeing the same thing happen with many other companies. Looks like China has found a wonderful outlet for those over priced dollars and Euros, that it has, in abundance and those dollars are now being loaned to western companies, to work in Russia…

Therefore, I have concluded, that either the west is just that stupid or trying to destroy itself. For what else could it be? No one intentionally puts a rope around their neck and then instigates the rest of the world to kick the chair out from under their feet…

Well at least until now, no one would seemingly do that act of assisted suicide, especially when hard work and being frugal would pull you out of debt and all the other issues that we have self-immolated ourselves over…

Do we think we are sacrificing ourselves to the gods or something?

It is easy to severely criticize the state of many things in the United States of America: the US President and Congress bowing to the demands of the national security community to exempt their $ 1 trillion (US) spending from sequestration mandates. The demise of Detroit, Michigan and another round of water shut-offs scheduled for April that will affect nearly 100,000 residents (the Detroit bankruptcy case judge’s ruled that residents have no inherent right to clean water). The geopolitical brinkmanship with Russia and China that, if pushed too far, could lead to World War III. The odious double standards applied to “leakers” of classified military and intelligence information js repulsive: former US Army general and CIA director David Petraeus gets no jail time for passing off military secrets to his lover Paula Broadwell, yet former CIA analyst John Kiriakou gets two years in federal prison.

Then there is the much maligned Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), which happened to shed an unwanted bright light on the often seedy political/special interest mechanics of the health care industry. Open Secrets reports that for the year 2014 there were 392 hospitals and related organizations that employed 802 lobbyists (even the Carlyle Group known mainly for defense and energy related interests was a client). Over half, 54.1 percent, according to Open Secrets, of the 802 lobbyists were revolving door individuals, those that move seamlessly from government oversight of health care practice to lobbying positions in industry that seek to limit oversight of their operations. Former health industry employees move into government positions as well.

Even defense contractors have muscled their way into the health care industry. If they can track missiles, Lockheed Martin says, then they can track patients.

Is there anything in the USA worth positive coverage?

Chef Garrett: If not a Surgeon, a Chef

Inside the Washington, DC Beltway in Arlington, Virginia there is a medical facility known as the Virginia Hospital Center. It is a non-profit organization whose Chairman of the Board is a no-nonsense doctor and administrator named John Garrett.

He also is a practicing cardiologist/thoracic surgeon who takes on patients regularly (Chairman Mao would have applauded this back-to-the-fields approach for the benefit of the masses). In an interview with C-SPAN”s Brian Lamb in 2009, Garrett talked frankly and informatively about being at the helm of the Virginia Hospital Center and the issues that impact his surgical practice and the hospital operations he oversees.

It is worth tuning in to what Garrett has to say because the machinations of the health care industry in the USA, and the hospitals and practitioners who operate in that machinery, exist in a messy stew of complexity that also includes suppliers/manufacturers of drugs and medical equipment; lobbyists/lawyers, national politics, and special interests of all types ranging from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietitians to Naturopathic healers. His insights carry weight as all of us, rich or poor, or somewhere in between those poles, will ultimately turn to practitioners like Garrett, and the people and facilities he administers, to save our lives or, at least, minimize our pain and suffering.

And yet most Americans know very little about the nuts and bolts of the US healthcare industry or the people in it who brought them into this world and will likely see them out of it too. They know little abut the difference between non-profit and for-profit healthcare institutions or the challenges that medical professionals face. Americans generally are capable of talking up the soundbites from listening to many pro and con ObamaCare advertisements or the latest television commercial for 1-800-ambulance-chaser, but not what is on the minds of physicians as they ply their trade.

Roaming Clergy

Thirty days in Garrett’s sprawling Virginia Hospital Center campus, as a sometimes delusional, onery patient, provided a golden opportunity to observe close-up his people at work. Being hammered and immobilized by an MSSA staph infection is not the way I would have liked to conduct an investigation into the operation of a large hospital. On the other hand what better way to experience the healthcare system at work than by being immersed in it as patient and skeptical journalist/observer. After five surgeries, an induced coma, one failed escape attempt, in-home nursing care for two months, and umpteen visits to infectious disease, wound care, and thoracic specialists, I’ve earned some credentials as a veteran patient. As an assistant, teacher and coach at a high school my health plan is not gold plated, but certainly a fine one. The bills will come due shortly and there will be empty complaints on my part as the alternative involved ashes and wind.

One oddity was notable during my hospital stay, at least to me. Laying in the hospital bed staring at the cracks in the ceiling, I was interrupted now an then by unsolicited individuals who turned out to be lay clergy. My first encounter went something like this. Stanton: “Hello.”Lay Clergy: “Hello.”Stanton: “Who are you?” Lay Clergy: “I am a lay member of clergy, would you like a prayer?” Stanton: “No but thank you. What denomination are you?” Lay Clergy: “Episcopalian.” Later there were members of the Catholic and Methodist Faiths who visited and one who was a multi-faith person.

At any rate, we turn to excerpts from Doctor Garrett’s interview with Brian Lamb, edited for clarity.

“We are a not for profit hospital…not for profit hospital doesn’t mean we don’t make money. We have to make money. But it means that we don’t have shareholders, that we’re not responsible to anybody but our community. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, tax exempt, and basically what we do here is we try to either break even or have a small margin of profit. Last year we had a 1.6 percent margin. So what we do with that profit is we invest it back into equipment. You know we try to have the latest and greatest that medical science has to offer. Two years ago we purchased a $7 million dollar cyber knife. That’s a very specialized piece of radiation equipment. But that’s what we do with our money. We don’t give it out to shareholders. But it’s not to say that we don’t need to make income…We employ a lot of people, and this is not charity…”

“So many patients just want you to do what you do, they’re grateful for it, they don’t need to know a lot of details, they’re interested in when they can go back to work, they’re interested in the likelihood of them dying. But a lot of the other details I think they’re not too interested in, and so it really puts the burden on us to, I mean, we – there’s certain things you need to know, and we try to tell patients those things even if they’re not too interested.”

“…we offer all private rooms to patients, regardless of their need to or ability to pay…I think it’s unacceptable to share a room in this age with another sick person. It’s better for the patient to have a private room. That’s the main reason we did it.

Medicare and Medicaid Woes
“…about half of what we do here is Medicare and Medicaid, so about half of our admissions in this hospital [are for] Medicare and Medicaid…we lose money on all Medicare and Medicaid patients. Medicare and Medicaid covers at best about 80 percent of the cost, not the charges, but the cost…And so the thing that I guess I want to tell people is that so far what we’ve seen is the…government controls cost [and to do so] they just pay you less, and we take that, we accept that, but we would have to change what we do if not for the private insurance carriers whom we aggressively negotiate with to get rates that are 140 percent of Medicare. Because we’re able to do that, we’re able to make our 1-1/2 percent margin so that we can buy a cyber knife for $7 million dollars…If we did not get extra money from your company [C-SPAN health insurance], if all we got was what Medicare paid, then do the math. We lose 20 percent. Well, we’re a business. We can’t lose money. So we either go out of business or we offer less so that we can break even. Well, offering less in healthcare means that we don’t give you the latest and greatest, which you know is not as good.”

“…Doctors charge separately in the hospital. So, if I do a Medicare operation, a Medicare coronary bypass surgery, I accept what Medicare pays me: It’s about $2,000…Surgeons are paid globally, so you know if I operate on you, I get one payment and you and I are married, So, for that month or until I get you well, that’s what I get paid. So, I can see you 10 times a day, I can you know if you have complications, come in in the middle of the night, do whatever it is, I get that one payment…And for the hospital it’s similar. They get what’s called a DRG payment, and it’s based on the diagnosis. So, for bypass surgery, I think it’s about $18,000 that the hospital would get from Medicare to pay for whatever happens to that patient…it costs more than that. I’m not sure exactly how much more than that. I mean, my – we’re way beyond what we charge, What we charge and what we collect is totally different…”

“There used to be more money in the system…medical care gets better and better every year, New technology, it’s expensive, but it’s better and better. Things used to be cheaper, but you know we’re of the mind that there’s nothing that’s too expensive. We want the latest and the greatest. We’re willing to pay for it, and we have. But that occurs at the same time in parallel that we’re getting paid less, the hospital’s getting paid less.

You know I – most doctors–truly did not go into medicine to make a big income. I think at least the physicians in my generation were attracted to medicine by you know what you can do for people, and the idea that you could be independent, work for yourself, sort of be your own person…what we do in a hospital as our default is to help, is to save people, and in doing that we don’t think about the money. We don’t. It’s the last thing on a physician’s mind is what money we’re spending to bring someone back.”

Young Americans
…young physicians see a different horizon than guys and girls in my era,…and I think they’re much more protective of their private time. I think that they’re much more eager to be employed, to not have the responsibility to run their practice. I think part of that’s because… it’s hard, the opportunity to hang out your own shingle now is very difficult. It’s too expensive. You can’t afford it. And so you know young people don’t want to take that risk, and there’s more of a shift mentality you know. In my group, we sort of never get away from it, even on our nights off, you’re still a little bit on edge. It’s what you do. It’s part of your life, and I think that the newer generation of physicians, there’s more of a you know you work your shift, they’re long hours, but at the end of things you really are off and you have your life. That is what it is.”

Chumley, Get me Out of Here
“…a lot of people that come into emergency rooms don’t want to be there, They didn’t plan to be there. It’s not like you have a relationship with me, you picked me as your doctor, I operate on you and something doesn’t work out right, that’s different. Emergency room, you come in, you don’t want to be there, you don’t know anybody, nobody knows you. If it’s really a bad situation, there’s lots of things going on, things can drop through the cracks without tight protocols.

“…what motivates someone to have a for-profit is to profit, but I think not-for-profit is the best for the country because I think it’s cheaper. I think if not-for-profit hospitals can adopt some of the fiscal restraints that for profit hospitals have, it would be a valuable thing to do. But keep that savings as opposed to giving it out to shareholders. But in a full profit system, that money savings goes to shareholders. In our system it goes back into this hospital.”

Scary Things
“…the thing that scares me the most [about the healthcare debate] is just the thought of having sort of like a massive [government] Medicare or Medicaid [system] and having all of the inefficiencies that brings, and ending up with a system that is poor, a hospital system that’s poor and having no ability to offer really the best to our patients. That’s what scares me the most…we lose 20 percent on Medicare admissions, and so if we lost 20 percent on everybody that came in, we’d have to do something different, and as part administrator, the first thing I would do is limit our capital budget. So, the new stuff that we buy, every year we buy $30 million dollars worth of new equipment here, that would stop. It would have to stop. We would have to lay off people because we’d have to …make up that 20 percent, so the easiest way to make it up is to not buy new stuff, and that’s what we do in our personal life. But when you’re talking about healthcare, new technology is expensive, and the people that are driving new technology expect a return on their investment.”

“I think everybody needs insurance, so you know if you don’t have insurance, you need to get insurance….I’m not a politician, but there’s something to be said about insurance reform and making insurance more competitive so that even people that don’t have a lot of money can have some insurance…You know the only person that ever asked me about how much something cost was someone who had money but no insurance. They want to know what’s it going to cost because they’re going to write a check for it…Somehow we all need to feel some of the pain of other than writing a check for the insurance company. We need to feel that cost issue. But I do think there needs to be insurance reform, and I think everybody needs insurance, but I would start with trying to make there be more competition between insurance carriers so that there’s affordable insurance.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans want lower taxes and more government spending both at once, although their support for spending more tax dollars on health care has dropped dramatically. They’re likelier than ever to not feel connected to any particular religion, but no less likely to believe in God. And for the first time, most want to legalize marijuana….

Coffee is so good and it helps you to think. It sparks those synapses and off you go, allowing the thoughts to flow…

Sometimes we (Boza and I) come across a human that decides to let us take a picture. In this case he let us take a picture of the broom he just built. He said, “no” to his picture being taken, but he was proud of his broom and rightly so. It is a good broom and can be rebuilt a million times. He let me take a picture of his broom…

This picture is an example of why the east will still be plucking along and the west will collapse under it own fear, terror and whatnot’s…

Get back to the roots and build a broom, do not buy a broom, and get sanction proof…

* * * * * * * * * *

Deep in the night as Boza does his business, that all dogs have to do. Boza and I found this snow lady, actually a snow reindeer, watching us as we passed by. I could just see the nose glow as we walked away…

See you Rudolf…

The U.S. really thought they could crash the Russian financial system. Then after a few months of heavy handed cheating pressure. The U.S. lost more money than Russia and had to back off…

We will not even talk about the unbelievable sums that Europe has lost. The west really thought Russia would fold in a heartbeat, yet it was the other way around. Sad west and her mental lacking…

The east has now instigated or finalized all it needs to do, to have its own financial tools in place. No longer is the west needed to function and drive growth. The winds have changed…

Tidbit; The Ruble is at 60 per dollar and that is exactly where Russia wants it. Thanks America, you played right into Russian hands…

Everyone needs an armored car. This is a vehicle that I would like to have. It has bullet proof windows, steel plating and is army surplus. I like it…

Just had to take a picture of the sun. It is rare here and when you see it, even on the building tops, it is a pleasure to enjoy…

Strange for this country boy to enjoy sunshine from deep within a huge city, but we take what we can get and I am here to tell you that this sun looked mighty fine and it made me feel a whole lot better. It also made me think about the village, where the sun shines all the time…

I will say, Moscow is a dreary city, but that is all good, for it is a wonderful city at the same time…

It is sad that the west has to have declared war against Russia. It was not correct and not necessary. But when you are dying as the west is, they must find a scapegoat to blame all on. It just caught the west off guard as to how fast and quickly Russia adjusts and converts to new things. Instead of the war that America so desires, they got a whole new financial system, middle fingered in their face. The realization that China and Russia have planned all this for a long time is now sinking into the west and they are so far behind the Eight Ball, that all the grovelling in the world will hardly matter…

The west should have been nice in the first place, now the west just looks stupid…

As Russia, China, and many other countries, slowly combine together to create a newly developing world. As the east sets up their own financial system to stop the calamities of being under a tyrant’s umbrella. As BRICS banks and the new Chinese Bank takes baby steps to a new world and the occupied so called ally western states jump on board. As the truth gets out about the lies and western deceits. As the wind blows in a new direction…

The world is trying to get on with life and live in peace and harmony and we find an interesting trio that seems to desire each others company, made up of Canada, USA, and Ukraine… (The Threesome of loves desires!)

Meanwhile in the Western Empire, which is located in the USA,…… it´s the 1930´s and soon 1940´s all over again…

Very sad indeed and once again; Who is isolated?

Made in the USA – How the Ukrainian Government is Giving Away Citizenship so Foreigners Can Run the Country.

Here is a excerpt:

Claims that the new government in Ukraine is nothing more than a Western puppet Parliament have been swirling around consistently since February. Nevertheless, I think it’s very significant that the takeover is now overt, undeniable and completely out in the open. Nothing proves this fact more clearly than the recent and sudden granting of citizenship to three foreigners so that they can take top posts in the government.

At the top of the list is American, Natalie Jaresko, who runs private equity fund Horizon Capital. She will now be Ukraine’s Finance Minister, and I highly doubt she will be forced to pay the IRS Expatriation Tax (one set of laws for the rich and powerful, another set of laws for the peasants). For Economy Minister, a Lithuanian investment banker, Aivaras Abromavicius, will take the reins. Health Minister will be Alexander Kvitashvili of Georgia. – Read More…

Just went to the store and bought some staples. I was actually mouth open, tongue lolling amazed…

Red beets at 9 rubles a kilo… (.15 a kilo or .07 per pound)

Yellow onions at 12 rubles a kilo… (.20 a kilo or .09 per pound)

Whole chicken at 89 rubles a kilo… (1.48 per kilo or .67 per pound)

Eggs at 43 rubles for 10 each…

Boza’s food at 14.5 rubles per pack…

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree, wait I mean, “One block of real Russian cheese at 225 rubles per kilo…”

Yes I am in a good mood and I have packed our freezer to the max with goodies for a rainy day. It was a tight squeeze but a big fat chicken is now freezing also…

Russia is really producing product now and I plus many thank the USA for being such dick heads. For Russia needed to get off its ass and be self-sufficient again…

Have a nice day…

This is how you can buy milk in Moscow, raw milk and it is great. I grabbed the liter bottle that I had ready for such happenings and got a liter of fresh raw milk for 50 rubles today…

This man came running through the flats and honked like a crazy person. How could you resist? Either go buy his milk and make him shut up or go to smack him in the nose to make him shut up… 🙂

What ever works and now I have delicious fresh raw milk and I just used the real cream on top for a cup of coffee…
