It's interesting that the social rating system has the same name as Yevgeny Zamyatin's dystopian novel, Мы.

Have a beautiful Sunday. Knocking carpets in the snow for cleaning was also common in my childhood in Northern Germany in the 50s.

Carpet cleaning, or have the bedbugs arrived? 🤔

I'm so steeped in vaccine injury research, that I read that last English link as purple "rash". 🙄 I really need a life.

"Russian scientists have developed an import-substitution “purple” radish that boasts an increased amount of nutrients"

Purple radish Eastern European style - your typical red radish which is pumped with synthetic fertilizer until it turns purple...Poles have a reputation of putting truly unholy stuff in their food.

Purple radish North Korean style - your typical red radish simply painted purple. The office of dear leader will inform you about its magical properties.

Most likely scenario - apology in tomorrow's news that fabulous new "purple radish that boasts an increased amount of nutrients" was honestly mistaken for an overgrown blueberry..Depending on where you read the news - either Putin, Biden or maybe Iran will get the blame for this agricultural fiasco.

The Ministry of Digital Development is something we have to keep an eye on.

My last carpet snow beating goes back to early 90’. Nostalgic blues waves ripple my heart.

I'm still shocked Biden's Oval Office warmongering "sales pitch" to abscond with another $105 billion in tax dollars from the treasury had the chutzpah to conflate Ukraine with Israel by linking Putin to Hamas. 🤨

FT: Financiers stick to ‘Davos in the desert’ plans despite Middle East war

"Scores of senior bankers and financiers plan to descend on Riyadh next week for Saudi Arabia’s high-profile investment conference despite rising instability in the region because of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Citigroup’s Jane Fraser, Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman and Carlyle’s Harvey Schwartz are among the best-known American chief executives expected to attend or speak next week at the seventh annual Future Investment Initiative. The scheduled UK attendees include HSBC’s Noel Quinn and Standard Chartered’s Bill Winters."

Russia has condemned the hospital attack in Gaza but no Russian leader has said that Israel is responsible for it, not Putin, not Lavrov, not Medvedev. What does that tell you?

Also, Russia has not condemned the attack on the orthodox church in Gaza.

Scott Ritter says that Hamas could be responsible for the attack on the hospital. I would bet that the Kremlin told him to say that.

It sadly looks like Russia is moving farther away from Christianity and running into the arms of the NWO.

Has someone read the book from Prof Bob de Wit "Society 4.0"?

It is a small book, easy to read. Perhaps inspired from the daily life of our Russians friends.

Yes. The turn is falling down into the dust when they beat on the textile.

What is the matter with you, Edward?

Could it be that the fact that you have taken up residence again in the new sanctuary of freedom and democracy, the Russian Federation, has caused you to:

Edward, have you seen 'Petrov's Flu'? You may be one of two people who I know or don't know who would enjoy that slice of Russian surrealism. Not as muddy as 'Hard to be God'.
