Spy Who did Not Come In From Cold

Posted on May 17, 2013 by | Leave a comment

We were raised during the Cold War with tales of secret spies, daring escapades into eastern Europe in order to gain access to secret documents and intrepid actos like Michael Caine who always found a way out of trap laid by KGB agents. Today,we are left with the exploits of one Ryan Fogle and his blond wig and thousands of dollars being offered to a Russian turncoat. Why the American government needs a Russian spy in order to learn about terrorist activities in the Caucasus is simply beyond reason. Of course, one could actually read an historical work  written about this topic. Instead of putting on a wig, how about putting on a hat and going to a university library?

This is a farce wrapped up into stupidity and simply another reason why the American government stumbles from one crisis to another. Heck, everything the CIA wants to learn about is on the INTERNET!

Russian Spy Plot Thickens

Posted on May 14, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Every so often reality makes a film come across as simply a worse plot. Here is the situation. Employee of the American Embassy in Moscow. Dark night. Man wearing a blond wig, carrying a bag of money. He approaches another man who supposedly has documents to trade for the money. Suddenly, from the bushess emerge members of the Russian Federal Security Service(FSB) who grab the man. A wig floats to the ground and the Americanis placed under arrest. Michael Fogle is now being held by burly Russians, much to the glee of the Russian government.

Assume for a moment that Fogle was able to bribe a Russian FSB agent. Exactly which great secrets would  now be in possession of the American government? Ah,a secret speech by the Great Leader-Vladimir Putin– in which he demonstrates his prowess in wrestling? His plans to shake up the Russian economy? Putin shooting a wolf??

Stay tuned for the next chapter of this  fascinating spy story.

Russia Believes What?

Posted on May 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Vladimir Putin is accustomed to having people with whom he is having a conversation understand that his ideas are the correct ones, so it is not unusual for him to confuse a guest in his house. Secretary of State John Kerry had extensive conversations with the Great Leader, and then Prime Minister David Cameron took a shot at working with the Great Leader to resolve the crisis in Syria. Both Cameron and Kerry came away from the discussion believing there might be a  transition process in Syria that would allow creation of a national government without President Assad. Alas, both western leaders now understand that even it a document was written and signed, whatever Putin says is so is so.

A new conflict in Syria. Frankly, who said what is among the least volatile conflicts raging in Syria. At this point in time, there are so many conflicts that it is  difficult deciding which rates number one on the list of  solving something.

I AM Right!

Posted on April 29, 2013 by | Leave a comment

It is rather unfortunate that the Republican party lacks a charismatic figure like Vladimir Putn to lead them into the valley of rich harvests and happy folk. He just completed a four hour talk-in show during which he assured the people of Russia that all was going well and he knew exactly how to create a modern economically healthy society. Step One is to ensure anyone who doubts his policies spends some time in Siberia making goods in a prison factory. OK, so figures indicate the Russian economy is sluggish, OK, so Russia continues depending on natural resources rather than modern technology centers, OK, so bribery is common, OK, so those with divergent ideas wind up in prison. Examine what was just written and all you have are a lot of OKs.

The Great Leader made clear that he DOES understand economics. When asked about corruption in his government he insisted that HE was against it, BUT, “people fighting against corruption must be crystal clear.” I assume he means they must identify people who hate Putin as the corrupt folk. If they charge men and women around the Wise Leader as corrupt, then it is Siberia time.

As the Wise Leader emphasizes, “a thief should be in jail.” We agree!

Russian Vigilantes In Action

Posted on April 26, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The essence of a totalitarian society is the desire of its leaders to end the rule of law and order which respects the dignity of the individual. Instead, mobs or young men are let loose to destory any semblance of respect for individual rights. Our Beloved Leader, Vladimir Putin, well understands that if youth vigilantes can beat up or murder “bad people” then it stands to reason these groups can decide who is “bad” and who is “good.” At this point, the issue is allowing thugs to make decisions as to what is or is not a crime. It is not surprising that vigilante groups in Russia are roaming the streets attacking people who they identify as “criminals.”

A pro Putin group of young thugs are wandering the streets of Moscow, seizing    alleged drug dealers, dousing their bodies with red paint and wrecking their cars– in the name of public order and safety. They are particularly angry at evidence of a new drug known as “spice” which is the latest scourge of the city. I have no knowledge about this drug. If it is harmful, then police should be responsible for ridding it from the streets. Of course, if there is common sense, then drugs should be regulated by the government to ensure public safety.

Challenging Vladimir Putin?

Posted on April 24, 2013 by | Leave a comment

In that nation known to the world as Putinland, among the great sin is to actually  tell the Wise Leader that he can not do what he desires. After all, if it is t he land of Putin then only the Wise Leader knows what is best. For some reason, the Constitutional Court ruled that Russian citizens had the righ to appeal election results directly! Really, if individual citizens can challenge election results how can Putin folk organize the process of an election in which all know the results prior to the election? Valery Zorkin, chair of the Constitutional Court argued the ridiculous idea that “the act of voting isn’t just about private political interests, it also embodies the principles of democracy.”

This is a rather bizarre idea-an election is based on democracy? Seriously, are not elections in Russia based on what the Wise Leader has decided? Once people are allowed to decide the outcome of an election, peace, prosperity and happiness ends in the beloved land of Vladimir Putin!!

Morsi Sells Out Syrian Rebels!

Posted on April 22, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The one constancy in dealing with human rights since Mohamed Morsi became president of Egypt is his willingness to sell out anyone at anytime in order to maintain power for the Muslim Brotherhood. He betrayed the people who originated the uprising against President Mubarak by refusing to include those from diverse viewpoints in his Cabinet. He lied about his commitment to human rights, he lied about controlling the military and he has lied about his relations with other Muslim nations. This week he is in Russia where he literally begged Russian President Vladimir Putin for money and was willing to sell out the people of Syria who are fighting for their liberty.

Morsi told the Russian leader that he wanted a close political and economic relationship with Russia if only Putin would loan him $4.8 billion. Putin is among the closest allies of President Bashar al-Assad who has killed 70,000 people in his country. But, just hand over money and Morsi will hand over rebels. He is a sham leader whose only thought is money-not the lives and dignity of fellow Muslims!!

Brothers In Search Of Heaven

Posted on April 20, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Two brothers were raised in the sad land of Chechnya whose people attempted to be free of Russian rule. However, they sought this independence just as Vladimir Putin gained power in Russia and the former KGB agent was raised to crush any and all who endeavored to gain their independence. Two brothers, Tamarlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wandered to neighboring nations and finally came to America. They had relatives in the United States but the world of social media, the world of youth independence rather than life in an extended family eventually overwhelmed these confused young men.

At some point, they decided to commit an act of violence in the United States. No one knows what triggered this decision, no one knows why they did not head back to Chechnya, they decided to kill and maim in the United States of America. What transpires in the minds of young people is among the unknown mysteries of life. They made a decision. And, people died, and people lost limbs.

Provoke Government -Go To Jail

Posted on April 14, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Every so often I wish the United States of America had a leader like Vladimir Putin in Russia. Critics of Putin wind up in a law court facing charges they insulted the Great Leader and in Russia, there is no more horrid crime then claiming the Great Leader is not a Great Leader. Prosecutors informed the media that Alexi Navainy is going to jail because he will not shut up about his dislike of the Great Leader. “When someone uses all energy to bring attention to himself” and “provokes the government” it makes certain that a trial will be accelerated in order to rid the nation of those who cast aspersions on our Great Leader.

If only  we employed the Putin rule in America:

1. Michele Bachmann would be rotting in some cell where she spends her day studying the life of Barack Obama in order to learn where he really was born.

2. Newt Gringrich would be sitting in a first grade classroom studying the history of America. Honest Newt, the GOVERNMENT built roads, canals, placed tariffs on foreign goods to aid the American business community.

3. Rick Perry would be standing in a corner of a second grade classroom in order to learn the multiplication table.

4. Mitt Romney would be compelled to give his famous speech about “those people” to audiences across the nation.

Putin Does Not Like Lists-At Least Some Lists

Posted on April 14, 2013 by | Leave a comment

President Vladimir Putin enjoys making lists of anyone in his nation who dares to challenge his right to  decide what to say or when to say anything. Thus, he is  very upset because the United States government has developed a list of Russian officials who are responsible for the death of innocent people. The “Magnitsky Act” was passed by Congress to protest the murder of a lawyer in Russia who was working to uncover corruption in that blessed land. The State Department now has a list of Russian officials whose presence in this nation is not allowed. These people have their bank accounts frozen and are denied visas.

The Russian government made clear “the appearance of some lists will unquestionably have a negative immpact on US-Russian bilateral relations.” We assume the Russian government will develop a list of undesirable Americans who     spend their time fighting for human rights. Fair enough trade off-thug lists for democracy lover lists.
