For years I have been telling about the Crimea and what will happen if the west continues to push Russia around…

The head of the State Duma committee on CIS affairs, Alexei Ostrovsky, said in April that Russia could reclaim the Crimea if Ukraine was admitted to NATO. Media reported that President Vladimir Putin issued a similar threat during a closed-door speech to NATO leaders at the Bucharest Summit earlier in April.

and this…

As I live amongst the Russians, I have come to conclude that there are several areas that are still considered Russian! The Caucus Region, The Crimea and The Black Sea are just a few. When you talk about areas like these, many Russians just automatically consider them Russian.

and this…

I was drinking my morning cup of coffee and checking on the rumors that America was messing around in the Crimea again. If you ever had any doubts that the USA was messing around in Ukraine then let those doubts be cleared up.

and this…

Ukraine demands Russia to give 72 hour notice on Black Sea Fleet movements. Ukraine passed a bill announcing that Russia must……. “restrict Russian warships at the leased military base at the Black Sea port of Sevastopol, saying the vessels` movements were subject to Ukrainian approval.” (Bad move Ukraine)

Ukraine to increase rent for Russian Fleet by up to 25 times. From January 1, 2009, the Ukrainian leadership is planning to up the rent for the Crimean territories where Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is stationed…… (Can some say, Stupid move?)

Why would Ukraine do this?

My only thought is that they want to lose the Crimea……

In Moscow, coverage of Georgia has so far drowned out the rumblings in Ukraine, but some Muscovites are clear where they stand…

“No one in my circle —and they’re rather well-educated— would say the Crimea is Ukrainian territory.”

What is happening in the world is not a surprise and is totally the west’s doing and fault. The red lines were drawn years ago by Russia and stepping over them by the west triggered the reactions that are happening now…

I have said before, “Russia does not bluff…”

“This is not so. The United States is not trying to humiliate us, it wants to subdue us, to settle its own problems at our expense. To make us succumb to its influence,” Putin said…

Then he went on; “I sometimes feel utter confusion,” Putin said. “Protection of the so-called pan-European, Western influence to the detriment of one’s own national interests as a rule is fraught with several problems.”

“Firstly”, Putin said, “There are no criteria of these common interests.” 

“Secondly”, he explained, “Behind one is bound to find the geopolitical interests of one country or a group of countries which do not necessarily agree with the interests of their own peoples.”

I guess it is better for me to answer what I see! For I am asking you what you see and I will tell you what I see as I look at the planet…

I see future cold, expensive, and destructive weather…
I see fresh water destruction by corporations…
I see make-believe terrorists…
I see resource wars…
I see unbalance…
I see poverty…
I see exclusiveness…
I see unfairness…
I see immorality…
I see greed…
I see death…
I see thousands of the same and like things…

Then I stop and look away from the lies, games, Napoleons, Hitlers, corporations, news, media, and propaganda and I see something different…

I see a mother and her baby…
I see a dog chasing a cat…
I see a beautiful smile…
I see intelligence that is hiding…
I see desires and wants for exceptionalism…
I see dreams…
I see results…
I see life, birth, death, and rebirth…
I see Mother Nature…
I see truth…
I see God…
I see thousands of the same and like things…

Then I stop and think; I realize that I see all the bad and it is against all the good that there is on earth. Then I sit down with a hard thump and the realization that the world is simply and basically on a one way path…

It is the path of good against evil and we have been on it since we became to this earth…

I remember one morning in the village this year and I stood  in a sun beam. The morning was frosty and a single beam of sunshine peaked over the hill and fell at my feet. I stepped forward and got that beam of sun to land on my face and I felt peace soak into my body. I realized that nothing on earth is as important as a few basics and catching that sunbeam when no others are available, is like looking at a smile from the person you love. It touches your soul and heals what ails you…

Now that is called good…

What do you see?

Went to bed with a 39+ C. temperature and woke up with it still in the high 37’s C. I just took it again and it is 38.6 C. This is what makes a grouchy bear to feel bad and makes me want to ignore writing today, so I guess that is what I will do. I am just going to write one article and then this little piece and then I am going to tell the world to go to hell…

Though, it is snowing outside, the wind is blowing, and the sun is playing tag with the clouds. Therefore I am a happy bear, for this bear loves snow, cold, and wind to play in. Boza does to…

Besides, Sveta and I went yesterday and bought a new camera, Sveta got excited about a new Sony DSC H400 63x zoom and I admit that it is a fantastic camera. The price is what made us get it, for because of the sanctions, things like this camera are dirt cheap and that is good. People in Russia are buying like crazy. The camera that we bought is a perfect example…

Before the crushing the ruble game started, the camera cost 8990 rubles and it still costs 8990 rubles. It cost $300 equivalent at that time. Then the west attacks Russia financially and drives the ruble from 30 per dollar to 50 per dollar, makes the camera cost $180 in US dollars. It is the perfect before Christmas sale and the people are out and everyday is a Christmas shopping day in Russia…

Everywhere you walk around our town and people are carrying new TVs, computers, and tons of other items. The word is buy it while you can and Russians are flush with cash to buy it. That is one thing that Russians do, pay with cash and they take advantage of a good deal…

Now I am going to bed and be a grouchy bear… 🙂

Ukraine is a failed state and has lost the eastern section and they did it to themselves, with a lot of help from the west. Russia just had to wait and allow the noose to tighten and it has…

Lets see now; Kiev is blocking East Ukraine financially, militarily, and immorally. Sounds like Kiev wants to get rid of East Ukraine to me…

Financially Kiev hung itself with a short rope as they monetarily blockade East Ukraine; Russia doesn’t need to append, annex, take, confiscate, nor even desire anything in the Ukraine situation, for anyone keeping in mind the end goal is to help the impoverished Novorussia, with food and water. Basically, Russia as of now has recognized that they perceive and accept Novorussia as an entity and right now, they can support their own particular means. Since VTB, Bank Rossya, and many other Russian banks being in the same situation, are virtually banned in the west, then there is no complexities or suggestions in the event that they choose to permit these banks to open extensions in Novorussia and permit them to exchange among Rubles (be it Russian or Belorussian) many other currencies. Since Novorussia outskirts both Crimea and Rostov Oblast via area, and simple access to assets, vitality and perhaps support…

One just needs to take a gander at South Ossetia and Abkhazia to perceive how things will turn out. For this situation, Ukraine has practically (actually literally) lost its region in the east (which is the most conservative and profitable area on top of the situation also)…

Statement made by Poroshenko.

We will have work – they won’t. We will have pensions – they won’t. We will have support for children and pensioners – they won’t. Our children will go to schools and kindergartens – their children will sit in basements. Because they don’t know how to do anything. That’s how we will win this war.

“We are leaving the dictatorship of the market where oil goods are based on the dollar and will increase the possibilities of using [other] national currencies: the ruble and the yuan,” Putin just said… (Nov. 14th, 2014)

“Ouch!” said the little bird…

The EU is backpedaling and the US is singing a different tune. The powers within these countries are starting to point fingers at the ones who wrongly sanctioned Russia and now Obama and cronies are looking rather pathetic as they try to uphold reasons to Sanction Russia…

Though a politician is not very caring about whether anyone has other ideas, but money talks and with the EU possibly losing a trillion Euros over these sanctions and the US finding itself being isolated more and more each day the sanctions against Russia stay in effect…

This, plus now, new replacements for financial institutions all over the world, such as BRICS, banks, credit card systems, and a new SWIFT; the US is staring at the abyss of its future…

“Cut off your nose to spite your face!” Does that sound familiar?

Time to pedal that tricycle backwards now, children of the west…

“I Think Therefore I Am!” – Descartes…

I hold true to this thinking, for I have survived six heart attacks and never one time did I doubt I was not done for a platitude of more life. As long as a semblance of a thought went through my head and a single asseveration of life, touched my soul. It never occurred to me that I would not aspirate any longer on this planet…

I traipsed threw out a jungle and even as I removed life from this earth and saved lives on this earth. I never once accepted the knowledge that death waited for me with open arms. I was tossed upon the gates of Hell and never once doubted that I was able to crawl back to my world. I have stared the Reaper in the eyes and conversed with him as he tried to take my soul where he desired it to be and I ignored the suggestion that I was supposed to be dead already. I never doubted that there was a God who seeded himself within me, but I detest those who malevolently spread his word…

But I have held men (My own dad was one of these men!) who did not understand these thinking’s such as I embraced. Therefore, I watched that same Reaper take them away and that was when I found myself realizing that I am naught but a weak and powerless essence upon a world, which we should endear to and desire to care for, with loving arms, a world unlike most created in the heavens…

“I Think Therefore I Am!” That is what sets me aside from the other creatures upon this planet, that makes me human and we need to use our ability to be human, to manifest dreams to become reality to its fullest extent of our abilities…

We need to be what we were designed for and not what we desire for! – kKEETON…

The Texet was 10 rubles under 3000 rubles and I found the equivalent in an Android smartphone, made by Acer. The Acer was 10 rubles under 3000 rubles also. 3000 rubles is about $65 for those of you who need to know…

Sixty Five Dollars and one of them (Texet) is indestructible and it really is. The other is a Kit Kat smartphone with everything this guy needs to continue his Android exploitations. Neither is expensive and both are fantastic phones…

At the average iPhone 6 64 gig price of 44,000 rubles, I can buy about 15 Acers or Texets or a combination of both… (Price today, will change downward with time!)

At the average price of a Note 3 by Samsung of 21,500 rubles, I can buy about 7 Acers or Texets or a combination of both… (Price today, will change downward with time!)

So now I am at a quandary as to why people spend so much on phones, when there is perfectly good cheap phones to do the job as good or better. I am guilty of this revelation and have done my share of consumerism in the past, remember I am an American and raised in a consumer world of the highest degree…

I performed this  switching of mentality, because I have destroyed so many phones. I almost ended up without a phone that could be used as communication. I broke them, bricked them and crushed them. I am hard on phones, so I needed a phone that could take it, no Android like operating system, no weak spots, great reception, and battery life unexcelled. The Texet fulfills the job, but I realized that I needed a phone to work on Android with, and therefore the Acer Liquid Z200 became born as an idea…

An old dog can be taught new tricks or as in this case an old bear. Therefore, I realize that I can destroy a $1000 iPhone just as easy as I can destroy a $100 smartphone…
