“Our partners, especially in the United States, have always been formulating their geopolitical and state interests coherently and clearly, pursuing these interests in a steadfast manner, and adjusting the rest of the world to their [interests] according to the famous wording “Those who are not with us are against us!”” Putin said…

Once upon a time many years ago, back in the old days this fairytale was different. That “upon a time ago” was not that long ago and the U.S. was the one holding the highroad, so to speak. We were the beacon of hope and goodness. Maybe we had faults, but we held the highroad, due to our desire to do the best we can and be the best we can and be moral about it…

We got lost and drove off the highroad and now have found ourselves traveling the low road of life, we have found ourselves with many other “use to to be highroad travelers” and it seems that we could not study history very well…

I am not sure when the exact turning point was, but I do know that Vietnam was a major player in this game and we  could have learned from our mistakes there and changed our path to the betterment of the world. Though it seems that we did not study history well again and kept trudging down the path of lest resistance and destruction to humanity…

My dad would have told you the same about Korea, for he fought there and saw some terrible things…

Seems to me that we had ample opportunity to change our ways and path many times and it seems that history is not a strong point for Americans…

Bottom line is; We have set the stage for Russia to be the new moral compass and China to be the new financial powerhouse…

Sorry it is too late to change the script now, we had our chance…

We Slept Through The Part – That We Lost The High Road…

I am working on getting this wagon wheel up the hill, a big steep hill. Maybe Sveta can help me when she comes Friday, for the hill is long and the wheel is very heavy, the spokes are steel and the middle hub is cast iron. I found it while walking with Boza and have not found the other one yet. I am looking though…

I tried to stand it up and take a picture, this is the best I could do and I think it looks okay. I will get the thing back to the village home, but as it is about four feet tall or a meter tall, it is not easy to deal with. Looks like someone just rolled it off the hill many years ago and sent it down to the lake area…

In my old days I would have just grabbed the thing and carried it without thinking, all the way home, but these are not the old days and I really do not want to have another heart attack. Therefore, I will think about it and work on what to do…

Maybe tie it to Boza and let him drag it home?

No, better not and Sveta would kick my butt if I did that and Boza would go on strike…

Have a great day…

I have a very large readership that is connected to Washington DC and the Kremlin both. Neither side pays me (hint, hint and more hint), but they read the blog and they at times respond. Sometimes the response is okay and most of the time the response is in attack form, always from the DC side…

My few friends that I stay in touch with have experienced the results of how extensive the DC side will go to even erase my emails and theirs. Comments are even intercepted and erased as they come from the U.S., now this does not happen if you live somewhere other than the USA and that is a fact…

The Kremlin side reads and stays silent, read they do and watch they do, interfere they do not do…

Today over that cup of wonderful Jacobs coffee, a coffee that has stolen my taste buds here in the village, I will suggest a few things to Russia…

1. New Ambassador to Russia from America: While McFaul was just plain worthless and as I said a McFart. The new suggestion, desired by America for McFaul’s old spot is John Tefft! Now I would suggest, since he has been here before and he resided over a crumbling Ukraine at times and a sick Georgia, I would suggest sending this piece of lying stink to the garbage dump and tell America to send someone with abilities and desires to work together with Russia. This man has no desire to do anything but act like an ASS and spread his ass all over Russia, in the form of paid unrest…

Tefft hates Russia, hates Russia and HATES RUSSIA! Did I say Tefft hates Russia?

I think the solution is very simple: don’t approve him….

2. The US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA is a serious indication of an America that has lost reality and is scrambling for every penny it can gather. While Russia does not force compliance with this rule, it has given banks the okay to comply if they desire. Trying to open an account for an American anywhere in the world, has become next to impossible in 90% of the countries on earth. That is a shame and it is a perfect example of how the AU.S. is trying to control her people and keep them under the thumb…

I say that Russian banks need to continue to decouple from the west and recouple to the eastern banks. It is time to flow east, not west. So Putin played it correctly and allowed the banks to make the decision of what to and such. I am watching Russian banks dropping the dollar as you read this…

3. MasterCard and Visa: I know you do not realize this, but MasterCard and Visa are building a data processing center in Russia, to bypass the center in the west. The impact of sanctions, that sliced the nose off the card companies, sacred the hell out of them. Russia is worth a bunch of money, money that is clean in comparison to the western side. Profits are made by western companies in the rest of the world and profits are lost in the western empire now. Russia has delayed their implementation of their own credit card and…

I say that Russia has got to be smarter than the antagonist and I hope that Russia is the one blowing smoke to get the card companies to do what they say and Russia still implements the credit system in due time. Russia if you can use MasterCard and Visa then use them, but keep your focus on the future and your health, financially and such…

4. Ukraine no pay for gas, Ukraine no get more gas; I watch the news and I even get an article from a reader about shutting off water to people in Chicago, USA. People can not pay, off goes the water…

But in a weird twist of ignorance, the U.S. demands that Russia give gas to Ukraine even as Ukraine cannot and will not pay for the gas it uses and has used for many months now. Then we talk of illegal reverse flow and we talk of shipping gas by tanker ships to Europe. One is illegal and the other is a fairytale…

I say start turning the spigots off to the west and turning them on to the east. I also say definitely shut Ukraine down with any gas flow and get everyone going on implementing this South Stream Gas Pipeline. Circumvent a Ukraine and see how they like missing billions and billions of dollars a year in transit fees. That is the part that no one talks about. Ukraine gets transit fees to send the gas to Europe and these fees are no small change. Gas transit is Ukraine’s number one export and money maker. They have shot that in the foot…

Let me tell you a story that works with this situation; I use to run one of the highest profit level Pizza Huts in America. I had a Domino’s Pizza open across the street and he (new owner) told everyone that I (Pizza Hut) would be put out of business, because Domino’s is that damn good…

He lasted 6 months and closed the doors. I got approval (from main office) to take and accept any and all coupons that he put out. If he sold one and gave one away free, I would do the same. His opening day, was my biggest day in my stores history. I accepted his coupons and had a grand reopening at the same time he did…

I hurt my profits for a few months, but after he went under, I soared to new levels never reached before and I seriously saw 40 plus percent net profits after that…

What I am saying is that Russia must bite the bullet and take the hit now, get this gas situation switched in directions and turn her back on the west forever. Money is not everything, but winning is…

5. This is simple and straight forward; Russia you must not, cannot, should not trust anything from the west. They are where I was trained in business and the only thing that counts is how fast they can cut your throat after you trust them. Profit and winning is the priorities and they go hand in hand, in the Western Empires eyes…

Remember that the American Indians had it figured out, but it was a day late and a dollar short…

“White Man speak with forked tongue!”

It means that someone is lying. I always pictured it as a split tongue with little mouths – one side says one thing and the other another and what they say is always opposite of the other…

Russian cameraman and journalist Anatoly Klyan, was fatally wounded in the stomach and died Sunday night. Along with a few other journalists, he had boarded a bus full of women (mostly mothers,) who were traveling to a Ukraine military base in Donetsk to demand that their sons be dismissed from the unit and allowed to go home to families. It was a mission of worried mothers. The response by Kiev armed forces was to opened fire as soon as the bus entered the territory of the military base, the driver immediately turned the bus back to escape the deadly shooting…

The driver was severely wounded with a head wound, but managed to get the bus to safety before collapsing himself…

So far in a ignored internal war in Ukraine by the west: 4 Russian and one Italian journalists have been killed, 2 seriously wounded and 4 journalists have been abducted and tortured…

“Western Main Stream Journalists” – may you bury your heads in shame for keeping quite about the atrocities of the Kiev Nazi Junta! You have blood on your hands for covering up the reality of the Ukraine crisis…

God will never forgive for that!

Shame on you!

I did not think gates would be so soon, but they are serious and getting gates installed at the Bell Tower. They are pretty good, but definitely not near as heavy as the original. That is a sad sign of times and quality suffers in this day and age…

I enjoy watching what they are doing to the monastery and will keep taking pictures as they do the work. It is an interest to Boza and I, of course… 🙂

I have been tracing the water issue in the village from the old days and have discovered that the homes associated with the school of the deaf and blind installed her during Soviet times, had steam heat, running water (cold and hot) and two wells to draw water from. The image above is a manhole behind a home, the cover was there a few years ago and has been stolen now. I took this recent picture, for these are behind all homes that belonged to the school. I have found galvanized water pipes in various areas and they all lead to the water towers from the old days. This village at one time had a pressurized water system and a number of places had radiator heat, plus hot water to wash you tiny rear end with…

When the school was shut done, so fell the utilities in fast order…

Picture of our Sammy the Volga as she sits right now this morning. I had to mention that we bought some parts for her yesterday and I picked up a new distributor for her. The one in her has 200,000 plus kilometers and is starting to become unable to be properly adjusted. She is forgiving, but you need new parts at times and I always smile when I buy parts for Sammy. For the distributor only cost $30 or around a 1000 rubles. It is brand new and beautiful. When I get time I will install it and make her a happy girl…

We also ordered a new carburetor, for she seems to not like her carbs (pun intended!) That should be here next week, we will see what that costs when it comes…

Just thought everyone would like to see what Boza and I saw as we walked the village this morning. Sveta has gone back to Moscow and Boza and I always have a grouchy day after she leaves. It is kinda like a bit of sunshine goes away with her, but it always comes back when she graces our doorsteps again…

Have a nice day…

What the hell are you people going to do when Obama is gone, and everything stays exactly the same?

Get off it already! You may not mind being a tool of the status quo, but there are plenty of us who do mind and want things to change. The status quo has to go and that means paid for puppets like Bush,  Obama and all the other politicians have to be taken out of the system, or nothing ever changes. That means time for a new governmental system, for the one we have does not work…

I want Obama gone too. I wanted Bush gone also. I have not seen a good president in my lifetime, because the system is rigged. But I really do want them gone for “real” reasons. I want all of them gone, Democrat and Republican alike…

I blame the party against party kind of talk for why nothing was done after the financial crisis. I blame it for why nothing gets done at anytime. For we all want to be a democrat or a republican and  therefore, we are all ignorant. We should have all been demanding these bankers heads on platters, but instead we were sidetracked by the hundreds of intentionally thrown out on the street distractions called such as, “Obama’s birth certificate…” nice job! And Obama went on to win a second term, if you remember…thanks people for that too!

And you ignoramuses will now elect a Republican, and go home all satisfied now that “Evil Obama” is finally gone, and we’ll all wake up like on “Groundhog Day,” with the radio blaring, “Babe… I got you Babe…”

Screw this divisive @#$% and focus your minds!

I said once, “Donald Duck would make a better president and our government would be run better by the Keystone Cops…”

Have a nice day as you slide into the cesspool of life, I am going to walk the dog and transplant some Tiger Lilies, then I will eat a bowl of fresh raspberries with milk and then I may give 25 or 26 seconds of thought to why Americans put up with all their damn money being spent on war, drugs, hate, crime, corruption, bribery and a thousand other things that do not help a single person out who really needs it. But we can kill and kill and kill, there is always money to kill…

Second thought, “Skip the waste of 25 to 26 seconds on why Americans are the way they are! Not worth it and a waste of time!”

Wake up fools and smell the coffee and a rose, to boot…

A train ride in Russia is a wonderful experience and no two rides are the same. Sveta sent me this picture of what she saw as she spent 6 hours on a train, coming to the village…

A train in Russia is so common place that it is “home away from home” and that is just right…

Sveta said that three dogs were on the car that she was in and I myself have seen up to five dogs and cats on a car before. I use to travel extensively by train and I miss traveling that way. Sveta has reacquainted herself with long distance travel by train and she loves it. The people you meet and the experiences are worth every hour spent on a train…

You have not lived until you take a train ride in Russia…

Screw it today! I am not going to let it all get to me and I have done a much better job here in the village about ignoring the lies from the media. But somethings are getting out of hand and that is what the media is for, telling lies and playing games. Makes for a sad pathetic world…

Therefore, I will show what I saw last night, while I stood in a storm brewing, with lightning, thunder, wind, sun, rain and a rainbow…

That is the video that my flip phone takes, so it is far from the best, but it shows what makes me happy and last night I was enjoying a beautiful rainbow…

I caught it before the wind started to tear everything up and the rain was just starting at this point. I love rainbows and feel that if the world would care more about things like roses, rainbows, little children, animals, love and a trillion other things, We would have a whole bunch better world to live in…

Instead we concentrate on war, hate, corruption and a small amount of terrible things. These things seem to have permeated our lives and become bigger than the good in the world…

Could it be that there is no money in good and being bad makes money?

Today the sun is shining and it makes me remember God’s promise…

Genesis 9:12: And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come…

It is such a wonderful world and we really should treat the world as the fabulous place it is and quit trying to destroy all the good that has been given to us to build a life with…

Sveta is coming tonight and I get the pleasure of watching her eat cherries like a chipmunk, she will have so many cherries stuffed in her mouth, her cheeks will be puffed out. She just goes crazy over fresh cherries..

I love that little gal and I thank God everyday for letting me have a piece of heaven in my life, For the truth is, “woman is the path to heaven…”

I am lazy today, actually I worked too hard yesterday and ended up having to take nitro for the heart late in the day. I am stupid at times and I know this, but that does not matter to my pea brain and I over do it at times. Yesterday was one of those times…

Therefore, today lets look at some pictures above that I took while walking around the village…

Now how about a short story?

There are times I wish that I could record what I visually see and one day we most likely will be doing just that. But for now a story is all I have and this is the story, that happened a week ago…

Boza thinks he is a great hunter, so when he spooked a teenage duck out of the cat tails along the lake edge, he was in heaven…

I was standing along the road to the village, when this happened and for 5 minutes, a dance between a teenage duck, who could fly, but was not that good yet and a dog who wanted to fly, to catch this quacking, low flying and crazy duck…

The duck quacking like crazy would fly over the lake and Boza would run into the water. Then the duck would fly back over land and Boza would run and leap for all he was worth. Back and forth they went, Boza running for all it was worth and a duck flying out over the water and back to the land…

I realized that the duck could not figure out how to land and every time he tried, with the quacking help of his mom and dad, plus siblings, he would see this energetic, bouncing dog trying to catch this quacking, flapping animal that flew…

I could hear something being quacked from dad duck that sounded like, “Jr. get your butt in these weeds, that dog is too stupid to get you here!”

He was right of course, but Jr. could only see a bouncing dog animal, that wanted to play (or eat him?)…

Finally the teenage duck crash landed into the reeds and as Boza looked frantically for his new friend, they swam away, across the lake to safer territory…

(I swear I saw the teenage duck, looking over his shoulder in terror as they swam slowly away!)

Since then Boza runs back to the same spot everyday and looks for his friend, but alas his friend has not come back…

I laughed so hard and wish that I had a movie camera set up. Boza was in grass so deep, he would disappear and then he would become visible as he would spring into the air. Then he would disappear in the grass and farther along his path, he would appear again, as he tried to catch the duck. The duck knew this animal was there and the duck could only get so high from the ground and so being a new flyer, Boza actually had a sprinkling of a chance to catch him…

Now knowing Boza, he would be stunned if he did catch him and he would have no idea what to do with it, if he did catch it. For Boza is not a mean dog, but he is a great hunter and I watched him hunt the other day… 🙂

Today while sipping that cup of coffee, I realized that America is a big fat cow with horns. That big fat cow can hurt and you better not get in the way, or she will run over you, but that fat cow is worth keeping around because she does one thing and does that thing very well…

She consumes and the world provides…

The fact that America is the worlds biggest consumer is a two edge sword. America likes to brag that we are the richest and biggest consumers. Consumerism is America and actually that is nothing to be proud of. Then in the same breath, that consumerism is helping a world become richer as they send junk by the tons to a country that is obsessed with trinkets and toys. “God bless America,” says China everyday…

Now in real life, a cow eats grass, drinks water, eats more grass and gives up milk and or meat in its death. America is still at the milk giving stage as it grazes the world for its grass and China, Russia and most of the world is trying to keep the big fat cow consuming, because its death will end that consumption and the meat will only last so long unrefrigerated…

Therefore as long as the cow keeps consuming and keeps walking around keeping the grass from getting to high, she has use in the world and countries like China are going to use her to her death. When the milk gives out, then you still have a last hurray and you get to eat your cow…

I have been watching China and Russia, they are playing the field from one end to another and they are milking the cow for all she is worth. Russia in the last few years, upped the anti, they started to stop pulling punches and laying the facts on the line. China has done the same thing and I have seen a dancers coordinated effort, between Russia and China. This is to play the stage with America, as America dances to their tune, but thinks she wrote the song…

I think of the Barry Manilow song that he made famous, “I write the songs!” But he did not write that song… (Think about that! Bruce Johnston wrote that song in 1975. Manilow made it famous in 1976…) Ask and receive the answer “Barry Manilow wrote that song,” 90% of the time you inquire…

China (or should say Asia and or the East of the world) does not want America to fall off the ends of the earth just yet. There is still too much money to be made from the big fat cash cow as she gets older and gets closer to dying. The problem is keeping the cash cow under control as she dies. You let here run amok and she can kill and destroy a whole bunch of people and stuff…

I know about cows and I know what a determined cow will do when they want to escape a barn and you are trying to medicate them. I once rode through a standard door frame hanging on to a cow, as she saw escape, when someone who should have known better opened a door. A little door, that the cow could not fit through. Much less it and me together, I ended up outside on the ground with broken ribs and the cow had temporary freedom as she kicked her heels in joy. The door was unharmed, the cow was unharmed (good thing, she was a good milk cow), the person who opened the door was unharmed, but I was in bad shape and pissed. I ended up finally going into see the doctor and after several x-rays, I was found to have 4 broken ribs on my left side. The side of me that hit the door frame, between it and the cow, who was a hell of a lot bigger than the door. I still do not know how that happened and why I was not dead. Hell the cow should have been stuck in the door way…

Therefore, I will make another statement; That big fat milk cow, did not try to harm me, but she was plain stupid and the door was a way out. She took that way out and I who was holding her by the horns went with her. This is how I look at America in a general sense. America is a big fat cow, who most people living in her do not mean harm to the world, but the are too stupid to deal with any situation correctly and when a door is opened, even a door way to small, she bolts through that door looking for what ever green grass is waiting on the other side and a spot of freedom that she thinks she will find there also…

So the big issue for the world is to learn how to appease the political idiots that run the country called America and then still use the bovine consumerism that is prevalent in American people, due to excessive modification of normalcy by government intervention. That means walking a fine line of retaliation against American exceptionalism being shoved down your throat, measured against the monetary future value of keep the big fat cow going…

One day that will all end… (Moooooooo!)
