Windows to Russia

The closer we come to our New Year holidays the more people ask Google about Christmas, Santa Claus and Grand Father Frost in Russia. Sometimes Google send these people to our site. So I’ll try to answer these questions in this article.When Kyle just came to Russia I warned him that we don’t have Christmas at 25th of December! He was a bit disappointed and maybe did not believe me completely. But it was 24th of December and nothing happened just regular work day in Russia. But I told Kyle just wait for 31 of December – New Year Eve is the same like Christmas in Russia.

Officer Nathanial Robinson is 23 years old and illegal in all that he did…

To protect and serve used to be law enforcement motto!

I remember when cops did just that and they were members of society that people respected. Somehow we have allowed a division and most people who I know are scared of cops and other officials…

To protect and serve used to be law enforcement motto!

When I first came to Russia I was shocked at the difference in police to police comparison between Russia and the USA. Russia was so much better than what I left in America. I have been arrested six times in my life, all of them trumped-up charges or manipulated situations, all of them in the US.  I was even pushed to the point to defend myself against a tyrannic cop. He lost the fight and I lost months of life as I was in jail for defending myself…

I am one of those people who will not stand by and allow someone to beat someone with no reason. I have been arrested for helping to stop fights as a cop literally beat to death a kid and I was the one crucified…

Any wonder why I think Russia is a wonderful place?

It is as clear as day to me and Russia is no police state…

To protect and serve used to be law enforcement motto!

Okay I get it, that is the new joke, so it is time to laugh… Ha Ha Ha…

PS; “Welcome to the Jungle,” welcome to America…

“Пуля – дура, штык – молодец!” – “Pulya – dura, shtyk – molodets” – (roughly) “The bullet is dumb, but the bayonet is smart!”

In 2005 the solid propellant rockets Molodets with 10 nuke warheads each and around 11,000 kilometers of range, were retired and I breathed a sigh of relief. This is one hard to find missile system and it travels around on what is probably the largest train track system in the world. The US had the largest system years ago, but I refuse to count 30,000 miles of broken useless track that is becoming the norm in America…

NATO calls these missiles SS24-Scalpel for a good reason. A scalpel, is a small and extremely sharp bladed instrument used for surgery, anatomical dissection, and or your country into small pieces is the best way to look at it…

The strategic missile force in Russia will re-create a multiple attack/defense group on the basis of missile silos, mobile truck chassis missiles, and railway cars missiles. The solid propellant used in these missiles is ideal for the situation…

America; Bottom line is that you should be worried, instead of make enemies, make friends…

It is called war and happening right now!

Saudi Arabia is at war with the U.S. for its failure to take out Iran as promised years ago, in the under the table conferences for world domination. Oil in dollars for protection no longer is working or viable. This is coinciding with Russia at war with the U.S. also…

Saudi Arabia now fears Russian alliances with Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India and China. Therefore, at war with Russia also. This also coincides with the U.S. at war with Russia…

E.U. breakup in progress with N.A.T.O. unable to do basically nothing about anything of real importance and of anything that seriously matters…

The U.S. is quickly becoming irrelevant and along with it the petrodollar, as the world is getting tired of bending over and taking the lies…

I suggest getting a popcorn popper and sit back to watch the fireworks developing as you read this…

Exactly how the last World Wars started…

Good times are here…

A few years ago, I tried a dish out on Sveta and found out that she simply loved the concept of what I did. I am a huge fan of what I call skillet dinners and they simply are just delicious and easy to clean up after. This recipe is a simple and nutritious meal that will feed four people, and I would serve it family style, in fact serve it with forks stuck into it and no plates. Eat like uncivilized people and keep the cleanup to a minimum…

Ingredients:

100-150 grams of chicken breast, chopped…
1 big fat onion, chopped…
1 big fat carrot, sliced…
1 big fat sweet red or yellow pepper, chopped…
1 fresh garlic clove, diced…
Grass as much as you like… (Image to right is what Russians refer to as grass!)
two eggs…
salt n pepper to taste…
four cups of water, to start…
loaf of black bread unsliced…

Lets make this thing:

Take big non stick skillet or oil a big cast iron skillet or just do what ever makes you happy…

Turn stove on medium heat and just toss the chicken, carrot, onion, garlic, red or yellow pepper – or both, lots of grass (No, more grass than that! No, more… Good :),) water and two eggs (no shells please,) salt and pepper to taste, all into the skillet…

No, I did not say put the bread into the skillet yet. Take that bread out and wait on the bread. Also quit stirring the eggs in, leave them alone. Please just do the above and walk away for 15 minutes after you put a lid on it. You cook it all together and let the eggs harden at least half way through. See now that was easy…

Now stir the whole mess and mix well. You should have hard white eggs and yellow yolk pieces mixed all around. Good job…

Cook skillet mixture until chicken is done. The rest does not matter how done it is. Then if need be, add water. Runny is the key to success. Add more water please. The more water, the more bread you can add…

Yes, now add the bread to the boiling mixture on the stove top. ripping chunks off by hand. Big or small who cares. It will cook down and become a beautiful tasty dish in a half hour. Oh, do not use the whole loaf, for that is a lot of bread, just saying, unless you desire to…

Stir bread in and walk away as the heat builds up again, with lid on it…

I saw that! You need more bread and quit tasting it all the time. Yes, add more pepper and salt…

Do not stir unless you have to. No!

Pull the lid off and allow the skillet to fry the bottom of the mixture and try to cook it until it almost burns, actually it is pretty good burned lightly and I do it on purpose…

It is done and you can eat and enjoy, but I like to take some tricks from other CIS countries and create a magnificent delight. Before pulling off stove you can also: add four eggs on top with some fresh butter, not stirred in… Or layer cheese to melt down into as it finishes cooking… Or both, as is Sveta’s and my favorite way…

Serve when the cheese and eggs are done…

Yes next time make a bigger skillet full, for they ate it all, didn’t they? Yes it is a poor man’s meal, but you do not need to tell anyone that. It can be made very nicely with just chicken broth and they will still eat it…

Want to eat it Russian style? Dob sour cream on top of it…

Enjoy, we do…

PS: Black Bread people! Not that white bleached tasteless stuff, Black bread…

It is unfortunate Americans do not like the truth more; They are even told right in/to their faces by ex officials that helped run the US in the past and they still look away as if nothing matters. Ron Paul, Patrick J. Buchanan, Paul Craig Roberts, and Bunny Greenhouse are but just a few that grace the doors of truth and are just a few of the ones who pay for it by being ridiculed by the Main Stream Media…

Ex Congressman Ron Paul says, “But is that the only kind of torture? Is it not torture to go to a wedding in Pakistan and watch as your family is blown up by an US drone? Is it not torture to have your village water treatment plant bombed by NATO planes seeking to overthrow Gaddafi? Is it not torture for parents of the 500,000 Iraqi children who were killed by US sanctions? Is endorsing pre-emptive war, knowing that thousands of civilians are sure to be “collateral damage,” not support for torture?”

Pat Buchanan was a senior advisor to American Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan says, “Damning Russian “aggression,” the House demands that Russia get out of Crimea, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria, calls on Obama to end all military cooperation with Russia, impose “visa bans, targeted asset freezes, sectoral sanctions,” and send “lethal … defense articles” to Ukraine. This is the sort of ultimatum that led to Pearl Harbor. Why would a moral nation arm Ukraine to fight a longer and larger war with Russia that Kiev could not win, but that could end up costing the lives of ten of thousands more Ukrainians? Those who produced this provocative resolution do not belong in charge of U.S. foreign policy, nor of America’s nuclear arsenal.”

Former US Treasury official, Paul Craig Roberts says, “I can remember times when police in America were reliable. They had themselves under control and saw their role as helpful to citizens and investigators of crimes. They took care not to bring charges against innocent people and to kill citizens without cause. Police would put their lives on-line in order to avoid making a mistake in the use of their power. Those times are gone forever. The police have been militarized, especially after 9/11, but even before. Police are taught to regard the public, especially any suspect or traffic offender as a potential threat to the police. The new rule taught to police is to apply violence to the suspect or offender in order to protect the police officer, and to question suspects only after they are safely secured, it they are still alive after being beaten, tasered, or shot.”

Ex chief contracting officer of the US Army Corp of Engineers, Bunny Greenhouse says, “I have agreed to voluntarily appear at this hearing in my personal capacity because I have exhausted all internal avenues to correct contracting abuse I observed while serving this great nation as the United States Army Corps of Engineers senior procurement executive,”

How about these people who tell the truth and are slandered constantly by the main stream media in some form or another; Gary Webb, Mark Felt, Daniel Ellsberg, Thomas Drake, Coleen Rowley, Bradley Manning, Russell Tice, Edward Snowden, and Peter Buxton…

Do you know these people? I bet you know about one of them (Snowden) and only because he is demonized for going to Russia for help to live a normal life…

We would/could/should not know, see or accept the truth, because we are being propagandized from birth to grave. You have become what you are scared/feared/hidden of/from and you do not even know that it happened to you. The rest of the world sees it…

Welcome to the Western Empire; where truth is a byproduct…

I have found it interesting in my 9 years here in Russia, that normal in the Moscow area is clouds, rain and or snow. It is just dreary and that is normal…

Our village is not that way and it is sunny and or clear half of the time, but Moscow, is just a cloudy place and when the sun does shine everyone is out and about…

The image to the right, is what I see constantly in Moscow. I am not complaining, for I would have it no other way. Otherwise it would not be Moscow, nor Russia…

I was looking through pictures that I have taken over the years today and realized that 90% of them are dark and dreary. Then it struck me that is the norm and I can not change that. Therefore, if you need sunny weather all the time, then Moscow may not be your cup of tea…

You can understand better why Sveta likes to go to Tunisia or Turkey and swim twice a year in warm, sunny weather… (here)

A long winter has set in and it is snowing everyday now. Just means it is Christmas to me and I love Christmas. Have a good day, Boza and I are going shopping and get some delicious goodies to munch on, maybe we will find a cat to chase…

Now you now a little more about Russia…

Ron Paul

My thoughts on the “Torture Report”:

The Senate Intelligence Committee released its long-awaited report on CIA torture of detainees yesterday and the reaction has been strong. While some still maintain that torture is justified, the emerging details of the program have left most of the country disgusted and ashamed.

Many in the current Administration blame the Bush people for this dark chapter, claiming that President Obama finally put an end to what his predecessor started.

Senator John McCain, an advocate for war and an interventionist foreign policy, has nevertheless been one of the strongest voices opposing torture. He has recalled his time as an abused prisoner of war in Vietnam to argue the importance of facing up to the recent behavior of the US government and making necessary corrections.

He said he knows from personal experience that torture does not produce good intelligence, as the victims will say whatever they believe their captors want to hear to gain some relief from their agony. Torture is morally wrong and it doesn’t work, he maintains.

I believe the Senator is sincere and that his intentions are good when it comes to the torture outlined in the report. I also believe that President Obama is sincere when he denounces the practices outlined by the Senate Committee.

But I think both President Obama and Senator McCain are being disingenuous and selective in their opposition to torture.

It is one thing to argue that people should not have their feet broken and be forced to stand cuffed to a wall, to oppose rectal force-feeding, and to condemn water-boarding a detainee 50 or 100 times. Most of us reject this kind of torture for both moral and practical reasons.

But is that the only kind of torture? Is it not torture to go to a wedding in Pakistan and watch as your family is blown up by a US drone? Is it not torture to have your village water treatment plant bombed by NATO planes seeking to overthrow Gaddafi? Is it not torture for parents of the 500,000 Iraqi children who were killed by US sanctions? Is endorsing pre-emptive war, knowing that thousands of civilians are sure to be “collateral damage,” not support for torture?

Both Senator McCain and President Obama take the moral high ground with regard to CIA torture, but both are enthusiastic supporters of past and current US military interventions that have the same effect on millions. It is one thing to oppose horrific practices that leave perhaps dozens killed or maimed. But what about practices that do the same for tens of thousands or millions?

A consistent anti-torture position would also reject sanctions, “humanitarian” interventions, regime change, and pre-emptive war. Anything less is missing the whole point.

Several months ago I bought a new phone that is really indestructible. It is called the Texet tm-511r. It goes one month on a battery charge and it is waterproof, shockproof, and bear proof. Though, it is the most boring phone I have ever owned. Once a month, I have to give it some care and other than that it just works and works and works…

Need a phone with great reception, battery life, and tough to boot?

Then get a Texet tm-511r…

In our big store called Magnet Magazine; bread is 9 rubles a loaf, whole chicken is 78 rubles a kilo, and my favorite coffee is 95 rubles a 100 grams. There is no foreign chicken in the store and I noticed that the last few packs of foreign pork and beef are gone. From my understanding on the Russian presidents website, chicken is now 100% Russian in all stores and 85 to 90% Russian pork and beef in all stores. I can vouch for that in our store…

This has been the best thing to happen to Russia and we have stores now filled with Russians goods, not foreign-made items. I understand that Poland is still cheating like crazy and illegally doing everything it can to get apples across the Russian border. That figures and Russia is catching them…

Oh, Russia has indefinitely banned American Chicken and that is a subject true to my heart. Please never let that antibiotic infused chicken, pumped full of fluids and chemicals, back into Russia. Thank you please…

Tra la la boom de ay; Ukraine is spending hundred of millions of dollars to build the great wall of protection, between Russia and themselves. I would say it will take billions of dollars and make Ukraine look mighty stupid…

Who gave them the money to build a wall and they are not able to pay their bills?

Sad state of affairs…

That crashing McDonald’s finances a combination of Russian crushing, China smashing, and Americans flat broke. China and Russia have been giving McDonald’s the one two punch for months and with a sinking economy in the US, McDonald’s is going to need some government bailout in the way of food stamp usage… LOL…

The third Borei-class (Project 955 ) ballistic missile nuclear submarine, the Vladimir Monomakh, has been handed over to the Russian Navy. This is in the last few months…

Russia has been turning out these subs like a pregnant mouse having babies. Blink and the waters will be full of these subs, for every sub that is commissioned, another hull is started…

Start thinking people! Russia is getting ready for war after the finance war fails by the west…

Getting ready for Christmas and New Year. Sveta has to make a trip to the village and I have been told to stay home and care for the dog. 🙁 Sveta worries about me and she needs to just go quickly, sign paper work for the village home and new land acquirement? (we hope!,) then she will run back within a day. It is too hard on me for such a trip and now I am grouchy. I want to see the village… sob…

She is correct and a two-day trip would be hard on me, but I just do not like to admit it, but I will, now that I have complained about it. Boza will be happy though to have me watch him, instead of some neighbor… 🙂

Oh, weather is too bad to drive. So Sveta will take the train…

That is it and it is time to go. Have a nice day…
