Russia explained to Ukraine that it will send an additional humanitarian convoy, along the same route just used a few days ago. More food, water and supplies of the same that had been sent previously is in dire need. This was announced on the news, Monday (08-25-2014)…
I call him Vova, he likes his name I give him, even if it really is different. I have a hard time announcing his name in truth, so I do the best I can. His name is a derivative of Vladimir, but what I hear is Vova…
Sveta will be here tonight for nine days and then the next time she comes after that, we will be driving home to Moscow. Just about one month left and my escapades in the Russian Village will be over for a while. Sveta and I want to travel the world for about a month and then settle in for a long winter in Moscow. Next year I will be coming to the village as soon as possible and try to spend about seven months here. This time I have spent about five months in the Russian Village…
So; God willing and the Creek don’t rise, my sweetie will be here tonight…
It is a win either way for Russia and that has been the dilemma for the west. Russia made a chess move and the checker players in the west never saw it coming. I mean really, how in the world could Russia send a real humanitarian convoy? I mean a real one and no games being played. Such as using it as a cover for death and destruction as the west does all the time…
Russia did this knowing that it was a Win Win for Russia, however it played out. The west was set up and after all the hype from the western media, “The convoy was just that, a convoy of humanitarian aid!”
West Out – East In!
If the west continues to lie and play sanction games, then Russia is making it clear that they will push their sanction knife deeper and deeper. The EU is already at the point of rioting and fresh fruit and veggies are being dumped in the streets as you read this. The monetary lose is tremendous for the EU…
Russian retaliation sanction against food imports of western countries sanctioning Russia, is extremely successful for Russia. So successful, the sanctioned sanctioning western countries are cheating any which way they can, to get food products across the Russian border. Anything illegal is game in western eyes…
Sveta has been (the last two times she has come to the village) amazed by a strange thing happening to the Russians that work and live around the Fish Village. They wave back at me as I drive by and now they even wave first, many times…
Sveta is astounded because she had told me many times, “Russians do not wave to each other! There is no need or reason!”
“… in what manner does tyranny arise? — that it has a democratic origin is evident… But when [the tyrant] has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader… Has he not also another object, which is that they may be impoverished by payment of taxes, and thus compelled to devote themselves to their daily wants and therefore less likely to conspire against him?: Clearly…. And if any of them are suspected by him of having notions of freedom, and of resistance to his authority, he will have a good pretext for destroying them by placing them at the mercy of the enemy; and for all these reasons the tyrant must be always getting up a war.” Plato, Book VIII
There is a lot of gnashing of teeth in the USA over the events taking place in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked by the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown. There is something for every interest group in this tragic event: race relations (and history); media manipulation; militarization of American civilian law enforcement by the Pentagon, US Congress and Israel; class warfare; globalization, income disparity; systemic political failure; Democratic and Republican Party hustler-ism; and so on. To be sure 100 PhD theses will be written using Ferguson as a topic, and Pulitzer Prizes will be awarded for journalists pushed around by the Ferguson police.

And as far as I am concerned the BRICS constitute the beginning of the new free world…
May not be perfect, but it is a far sight better than the last failed free world…
I am sent e-mails from deep within Washington DC and they tell me, not ask me, to stop writing about the USA. Many times death threats are attached…
I am sent comments asking me to not talk bad about America, for it has supported them well with many benefits financially…
I have been sent (You get the drift! I hope?)
