Sadly, we had to let our goats, Polinka and Horu, go last summer. They were just too much work. - Cutting hey, finding them grazing during the hot Portuguese summer, and constantly keeping them out of my gardens and in their pen - plus constantly repairing the fence around their pen, etc, etc, all got a bit much (especially for hubby). In retrospect I wish we'd kept them! Goats are such lovely animals. I miss them a lot.
On a brighter note, chickens!!! Funny, naughty, and they make eggs!! (We have three, which is 21 eggs a week!)
As for your news from Russia, Mr Skavsquat, why it's almost as if "they're all in it together" as far as their policies go! That said, I'm still very much looking forward to the collapse of the hegemon.
In the meantime, creating our own economic independence on/in the ground seems the only sensible way to go for us little people. Very best of luck/success with all of your excellent villaging!
Seems even they marketed it perfectly with lies like "distributed" and "blockchain" people still understood it's slavecoin characteristics. They even enabled useful functionality like smart contracts. So pretty perfect marketing and some useful features and people still couldn't get fooled. A good sign!
“types of lice that live on the hair of intimate parts of the human body”, and “alcoholics”.
I would like to learn how to say this in the original Russian. It is what I feel about many in my government. You have the best puppies on the internet.
Amazing that the Russian people have "a positive assessment of future technologies." Don't they realize the reason for their existence i.e an existential threat is being worked out by these maniacs on a daily basis? Or, maybe this poll is fake, too...
Will you name the goats? It has been demonstrated that when cows were given a name, they secreted more milk. In France, before the industrialization of agriculture, most cows had a name and very often written in their resting place in barns.
Hmmm... i just love goat meat. Roasted on an open fire. (Oh, please don't banish me for being an honest omnivore human being! I don't eat puppies. And I don't consent to genocides.)
"A pensioner from the village of Magnitka (Kusinsky district, Chelyabinsk region) was issued a fine of 5,000 rubles for insulting local deputies. According to the text of the court decision, she referred to the lawmakers as “types of lice that live on the hair of intimate parts of the human body”, and “alcoholics”. [ura.news]"
This woman, was apparently making her opinion of those fining her, perfectly clear.
However, the provocation is not perfectly clear.
Did she consider, that the deputies deserved the insults, and therefore no fine was warranted?
Did she consider 5,000 rubles to be an excessive fine regardless?
Or was she just expressing her personal opinion of the particular lawmakers, or lawmakers in general, regardless of the circumstances of the case?
Whatever the case, this woman was obviously unimpressed, with the administrators of justice!
"Aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange rose by 9.4%, and nickel prices by 8.8%, following the announcement of new US and UK sanctions against Moscow."
and then this one:
"Supplies of Russian aluminum, nickel and copper to the US and UK last year amounted to $77.8 million, which is only 0.5% of Russia’s total exports of these metals."
I'm very ignorant about this stuff, but it seems that these sanctions will hurt us in the Land of the Free a lot more than those of you in Russia.
P.S. Those baby goats are in a Cuteness Contest with the puppies; I can't decide the winner.
It's interesting, although very disconcerting, that neither MSM nor ASM (altstream media) report on the recent developments in Serbia, by its president Aleksandar Vučić, who's jonesing to start stampeding in Kosovo by accusing them of 'being bad' against Serbia. Fingerpointing, false accusations and self-victimization. Where else do we see this? Noteworthy is that he was in Moskow a month ago. Is anybody whispering in his ear? Not that I would want to bash Russia, of course, and godforbid I incur the wrath of the Russia-lovers, lord protect me, but it helps to keep the finger on the pulse of the Overlords that run, I mean ruin, our lives. That's all I mean. They are all the same, and play together, lest we forget it. Apparently, there is an interest by several parties in the Balkan area. For instance, Iran calls the Albanians 'satanic.' Serbia buddies up to Russia. Albania's former dictator Enver Hoxha was biggest of mates with Stalin and imitated his ideologies. The Soros offspring, the babbling fool Alex Soros, was rubbing elbows with Albania's Edi Rama over the "Open Balkans" project by papa Schwartz aka Soros, that in 2023 fortunately was not wholesale gobbled down by the Balkan as the moneymaking war strategy it actually was, as usual by Schwartz aka Soros; now it is morphed into some sort of 'business proposal' to stimulate the Balkan economy. Kosovo is now banking on the NATO to help them against the puerile shrieking and footstomping by Vučić, which shrieking is of interest to Russia in this area. What will this smouldering fire do next week or so? Does anyone have an opinion or more info about this potentially explosive situation that nobody looks at?
Last week we learned that many IT 'workers' wished to live abroad (in occupied France in particular which demonstrate their utter stupidity) and this week: "The average salary in the Russian IT industry is twice the average for the economy. In 2023, it amounted to 155.9 thousand rubles, which is 1.7 times more than in 2019, the Ministry of Digital Development reported."
>155,900 Russian Ruble equals 1,655.66 United States Dollar
Ouch. The median house payment in my part of California is 7 to 10 thousand US dollars per month. That's mainly tech workers in sillycon valley, and the surrounding region.
If you think about it, it makes sense because that's one of the major industries where people have to communicate in English a lot, so they naturally consume English-language media and you can be sure they won't find Edward Slavsquat or other independent outlets but instead one of those thousands of msm outlets which replicate what Reuters, AP and AFP publish (and occasionally, what those three were told to publish by Mockingbird agents).
The people referred to in those articles, the IT industry workers, that is those who are behind the promised digital 'the brave new world' are very well paid to bring about that nightmare without reflecting to the consequences of their work. They apparently don't think it is enough and want to join the West's crew of unethical pseudo-humans doing the same thing because they would make even more money.
Do they think the Russian system is corrupt? they may be right but they cannot ignore that the Western system is corrupt beyond belief and at war with their country (remember the insane sanctions at the beginning of the Not-war against regular Russians per se and which are still in place), unless they are utterly stupid which may probably be the case. Do they have time to think, working all day programing our enslavement? Do they have time to think when they enjoy their mundane privilege after work?

The Nigerian rollout of CBDCs lasted only 109 days before they abandoned it.
I looked it up. It still exists, but people refuse to use it. This article sheds some light on the topic:

I was listening to a podcast with Alex Krainer, I think is his name, just yesterday. He has a substack also.
Also their covid vaccination rate is only 8%.
Low IQ doesn't mean stupid!

Love the baby goats....babies are so lovely
So, Chinese banks respond to US pressure and, as a result, stop cooperating with Russian banks? As it was the case with some Turkish banks.
Is there an explanation from the Chinese side why they're now following US orders?
Also, isn't this bad publicity for their CBDC project?
Good questions...
Ro... the bankers' ;)

Must watch, a happy survivor:

At 0'44, the Country Man says laughingly: "I am not a sheep and I don't want to enter the sheephold"... I hope the translator will work for you.
"Chinese banks have started blocking payments from Russia for electronic components, which could cause production delays for Russian manufacturers."
I guess, Putin and Xi aren't besties in the multipolar utopia. 😁
But who won the puppy naming contest???
Riley, watch at 24' and you might find how to use the goats to carry water! Beautiful Switzerland...

Hmm. I'm looking at this snippet:

Hello Pill,
The people referred to in those articles, the IT industry workers, that is those who are behind the promised digital 'the brave new world' are very well paid to bring about that nightmare without reflecting to the consequences of their work. They apparently don't think it is enough and want to join the West's crew of unethical pseudo-humans doing the same thing because they would make even more money.

Do they have time to think, working all day programing our enslavement? Do they have time to think when they enjoy their mundane privilege after work?
