little update...

[maadmike]

The potential overwork stress is down now and I have, or have started to think I have, more time to post some pics and even write my comments.

So here I am posting the late photos of my little late doings from my phone, cause I still haven't cleaned up and repaired my camera to make some focused images.

Btw, meanwhile the question comes up for me, as an outsider, if Putin still has the long-term capabilities in order to interfere if state or big private enterprises do shit, raise prices and don't pay their employees as they please.
One day, he might be able to demand from them to act in a certain way which the common people complain about "to him", but as he is in power for so long already, the gangsters around him also had enough time to learn how to deal with and fool this king without him noticing (and with him being a former KGB-agent, you have to get a bit smart to achieve that - but it's not impossible). Or at least keep him off one's trace long enough to get one's fraud done and the profits gained from that into safety.
The successes from the post Yeltsin-years where he was eager to teach them all "I'm the chief in here and if you don't play by my rules, tax investigation's gonna be in your house and you gonna go to jail for a very long time", those aren't anymore after more than 20 years in power.

At least that's my interpretation of things from the outside...

"Btw, meanwhile the question comes up for me, as an outsider, if Putin still has the long-term capabilities in order to interfere if state or big private enterprises do shit, raise prices and don't pay their employees as they please."

I had been watching many documentaries about the ww2 times and I caught myself on an idea that if I would be living in 1940 and would had possibility to speak freely I would certainly thought and told that Stalin is a traitor because I would had never be aware of what our authorities were about, what questions they were solving. So, now we are for sure in short before new world war again and who knows what our authorities are about again... What they are declaring is not that much working, I simply don't believe it. We now are much more developed than we were at USSR times and USSR had incredible temp of economic and industry growing and what do we have now - our authorities are slowing everything down... What for? Who knows again...

About Putin knows or not - again during the soviet union times there were many people which were believing Stalin didn’t know something - bullshit, if I know it and I am nothing then all who cares know it as well... and again, this direct analogy with Stalin and ww2 times is amazing for me but yes here we are and what is not surprising all were very well predicted and written on paper…

I think I'm getting you here - even illogical decisions follow a pattern or an idea behind it. The question only is: What is that? What does it look like?
During the times those illogical decisions are made, it isn't recognizable what the big picture is. Which pattern they follow. Because there's a lot of true data and pieces of information missing.
Later when told and things don't need to be kept under a cover anymore, it becomes somewhat understandable what was going on at that time and the the acting protagonists didn't behave as stupid as it seemed on the surface before...

That circumstance nurtures the imagination about what's going on behind the curtain in the present...

[maadmike]

"the the acting protagonists didn't behave as stupid as it seemed on the surface before..."

Yes, it is but if to believe our propaganda TV the history with all certainty has, now, is calling Gorbachiyov and Yeltsin as the traitors and there are innumerable facts proving it... Our Tsar times now widely discussing and our modern patriots are trying to rehabilitate him, with all the circumstances that his mild policy had caused so much damage for what Russian fought and worked for hundreds of years.
So, with all my respect to our acting on all level citizens we shouldn't repeat previous mistakes and let the rulers do all they want, it is not working cause small bunch of capitalists is easy to corrupt but masses much more difficult... But of course there cases, like what is going on in USA, for example... country has got 50-50 devided and all side is ready to fight and kill, destroy all good eas done, for their new artificial ideas which were brought to them by manipulators, though yeah, give them time and they'll write new Bibles that's for sure...

Ts, the Tsar was one of the reasons Russia was once so behind in the world!
While all other around had already entered the industrial age, Russian nobles still plundered the land and lived like "the plebs doesn't need anything", generating an order of "brownnosing to have a decent life" instead of "do some, have ambitions - if all pull the same string, we'll get somewhere".
They curse a lot about the revolution Lenin was the head of, if being a putsch initiated from the outside anyway, and what later became of it because they all shared more differences than things in common, and since Stalin got into the position that meant "state power", that all useful people were just only killed...
But what did their order bring? Progress? Fuck that shit! Lots of homeless people drowning in poverty and an underdeveloped country at the end!

They don't need a new Tsar, they need a crew of reasonable-thinking people who kick their ass and limit their cronyism! And from tomorrow on, resources are concentrated again on constructing something, building something up, instead of serving the robbery of all the rulers, from high to very small office!

That's how you get anywhere... It's so simple to understand, even a kid who played Command&Conquer gets that!

[maadmike]

"They don't need a new Tsar, they need a crew of reasonable-thinking people who kick their ass and limit their cronyism!"

Absolutely! And more or less our top ruling class understands it, so undertakes some action to calm the masses down from time to time, mostly before election... just before a new event the bread and cheap beer start falling right from the skies, without any cronyism of course, it is illegal here... our ruling bunch sometime even clean out its rows, partly, to make a big show of unstoppable fight with corruption in all our mass media, forgetting to mention that this incredible corruption has been developing and flourishing during your ruling time...

But, let's stop this my endless criticism, it is unproductive and wouldn't make anybody happy if not only my English skills would get back to life a little...

[matrixmann]

Don't mind it, I didn't mean to initiate a debate through that.
Through other channels I only know the mantras that are being spun in your country that "all would be better with a Tsar again" and "the revolution with Lenin was a putsch from abroad; so this whole thing was unpatriotic, not Russian, and didn't get us anywhere", such kind of shit - which can be disproven already with mainstream knowledge about history...
Auto-suggestion based on manipulating history and emotions, not on facts.

And other idea which makes me laugh about the claims of our modern capitalistic authorities that they couldn't control the wood stealing is not only the order we had at USSR in this sector of economy, without all the modern technologies of satellites observing, roads and train stations cameras, Internet and so on but... I remember, our old communists patriotic movies where our intelegence at ww2 was fighting with German coalition intelegence and it was like -winer, cold winds are blowing, our counterintelligence agents are seeing a small girl standing with empty prostrated hand near the train lines and asking for food but her very attentive eyes are counting the trains coming by and hidden weaponry on them, so agents took her and she had become the very trained German intelegence agent and so on... So, I would like to ask Putin to send his friend Medvedev to Siberia, let to get him maked up into Chinese, for example, and told him to count the trains full of wood going to China, let him even have some percent from the saved to budget money into his deep pockets and Matvienko to send on the Finland border, make her into some old poor pensioner, living on 14000 Rub - 186$ - standard Russian pension and count how many trains go to EU... I am certain, the problem soon will be solved... ;)

Indeed, indeed... Former times with less technology, but people still managed about the same tasks by hand.
So it's not a question of electronic tracking or all that mumbo jumbo - someone's got to watch and that check that manually anyway every day if it shall function properly -, it's a question if someone wants to turn a blind eye or not.
And obviously, that is the problem. A lot of people in the chain, from lower to high office, turn a blind eye.
(This happens similarly in the rain forest in Brazil these days, as well as happened as the plundering of the Indonesian forests was a huge topic. - How does make rainforest wood make its way here and become an IKEA shelf? Because logistic chains, all turning a blind eye to where the wood comes from, work and transport that shit here to Europe and everywhere else in the world.)

I absolutely agree with green activists, though there are idiots between them which telling in a row with ciws that forests are not helping our planet, anyway every human having simple logic could make one plus one and see that trees making low continental pressure which sucking water from iceans and that trees consume co2 and collect water changing deserts into paradise.... I agree with this but people are like parasites are growing so fast at the warm, fertile, humid areas, so fast that hunger, poverty, uncertainty makes them sell everything they could put their hands on... How could some very well educated European or American fella tells them stop cutting trees while there are no nearly at all trees at USA and Europe? Same thing is about green energy - USA has no moral rights demanding to stop using coal while it was consuming 40 or more percent if all world resources for decades, collective Europe was using wood and coal for thousands of years... how could our country to tell something to... I don't know, yo Venezuela for example?
Yes, we have to make collective actions but this should be collective actions but an order from some military more equipped country.
Actually, I do believe that we all together have innumerable direction in a way opposite to what we did last two thousands years, if to believe in history we are given.
To clean from plastic oceans, to stop producing non-degradable plastic, to pain in white all mountains or cover them with chalk powfer, to build working on sun energy fresh watermakers and to force moving desert in opposite derection, to make worlwide sun energy warm collectors instead of burning fuel and so on, I could write at least 50 positions...

Based on what the middle class green activists are like here (and their public demands), I already come down to that fact that replacing all gasoline cars and vehicles with just electric ones, doesn't work in all areas of the earth because some are way too cold or way to hot for electronics to function properly and not break too soon. - Totally a blind spot of their agenda, which actually reveals that ideas formed by the industry have been planted into their brains. Without them noticing or wanting to notice.
Just saying that...

Reforesting problems only need to be carried out on a large scale, so that some long-term lasting project comes out of it and not something where, for example, each player involved does its own thing, but in the end they all make only contradicting acts that all sabotage each other.
Other than that, I'm pretty much on the train to reforest and re-green (no idea if such a word actually exists) the world wherever possible. - It's actually knowledge for a very long time - public school knowledge - how trees and forests (as a collection of trees standing close to each other) produce oxygen, store water, bind soil to the ground through their roots and, through the combination of all three factors, work against the spreading of deserts.
You could say, this doesn't even require very complex knowledge to get an idea what to do.

[maadmike]

"You could say, this doesn't even require very complex knowledge to get an idea what to do."

Yes, but you see there are idiots telling in mass media that forests and big animals harmful for their CO2 agenda... I am certain that all this noise about global warming is very well paid by interested financial groups. It is like - Yes, we couldn't compete with developed industry China, so we blame its production is not eco, so we let them work furthermore but they will be paying us taxes... Wonderful idea but I am certain with fooling around will not work anymore. Chinese are not longer aborigines with bones in their noses.
In that retrospect, yesterday I was watching our Russian program where all these thoughts about real roots of green movement in Europe were giving by expert in facts - while we - Russian side were discussing with EU our absolutely logical initiative how it is possible for us to reduce CO2 producing -
by multiple ideas as to produce hydrogen, as to produce more energy by nuclear power or to rise our territory covered with forests and on all these Europeans were telling - no, your hydrogen is not right hydrogen, your clean energy is not clean, your forests are not wirking good, so we couldn't count their impact... but our initiatives with idiotic electro cars which demand again, so much energy to produce all necessary metals and other materials and at last where Europeans are going to take electricity? Example of USA Texas has shown very well it is not working, so Europeans plan to burn our Russian gas to produce their electricity and tax us for not clean energy... Funny guys...

[matrixmann]

The idea of all these CO2 taxes and - well, let's say "letters of indulgence" to free oneself from one's environmental sins, I sense these ideas are coming directly from the drawing board of the rich. Because - every child could tell you with its logic "what's it going to change if we tag prices to CO2? how does that help the climate? you can't pay nature to stop sending you floods and forest fires!".
It's a way of making money with that shit. The ambition to infiltrate the green movement has been there for long; in my understanding the Live Aid in 2005 was some mark in this because, for the first time, the rich could openly get to see how big the demand after "green products" truly is. - Before, they'd ignored this or tried to make it get a bad public image, in order to scatter it.
Through that event, I think they recognized the better idea is to make use of that demand and rather make money themselves with it.
And that ball still keeps rolling...
Meanwhile, the rich have even become able to drop their own ideas and goals into the movement, without the mass hungry for green products and "solutions" even noticing how they get fooled and support nonsensical politics.

For the negotiations with the EU, I tell you a simple thing: The EU is still on the warpath against Russia, and that's why nothing that it does is ever going to be good enough.
If the same acts or suggestions would come from somebody else, they reacted differently to them. Be sure that it is so.
Because they couldn't make a military win in East Ukraine, couldn't achieve a political win in remaining Ukraine, and even lost Crimea with the big military base to Russia (unable to take it back until today), they're still grim and act that grudge out through other ways.
Call it a "good example for that policy" how they treat the Sputnik V vaccine. Still it's not been approved, although internationally scientifically recognized to be effective meanwhile, and all the while the Western vaccinesn nearly all proved to or have rumors surrounding them to have some rare, but then critical/fatal side effects

Just put in a simple phrase: Nothing that comes from Russia is good enough for the West these days...
