How I Got An Unlimited Russian Residence Permit
You might be thinking of getting a Russian residence permit if things are starting to get serious between you and the Motherland.
I will tell you the story of how I got an unlimited Russian residency permit. By unlimited, I mean a Russian residence permit “with no expiration date”.
I won’t tell you every single step, because that would require much more than a blog post. That would be sort of like doing an interview with Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface and asking, “How does a man get on the moon?”.
If you are looking for a to-do list on getting a Russian residence permit, there are plenty of good resources online. If you would like someone to guide you through the process, I will provide a recommendation at the end of this post. Because I’m not that guy.
Here are a few points to get started with for applying for your Russian residence permit. There are exceptions to nearly every point, but in most cases:
In order to get a permanent residence permit in Russia, you will first need to get a temporary residency permit. In order to get a temporary residence permit, you will first need to already be in Russia, which in most cases, will mean you need a visa. Owning real estate in Russia does not guarantee residency, but it does simplify the process. Because otherwise, you will need to find a good friend who will register you in their home. Not always an easy task. As a point of product placement in this blog post, I might mention that I run a real estate agency in Moscow, and we are seeing a rapidly growing number of foreigners make the decision to buy their own home. This will certainly ease the residence application for them if they choose to follow that route. You will need to pass a Russian language, history and law test (more on that later) You will also need to pass various medical tests (such as TB, HIV). IMG_6949.JPG I’m smiling on the inside, like a Russian, after receiving my unlimited residence permit. Here’s the great news. In the past, the “permanent” Russia residence permits needed to be renewed every 5 years. Not the end of the world, but also not my favorite procedure.
But as of December 1, 2019, all Russia permanent residence permits are now without an expiration date. That means if you already have a Russia permanent residence permit, the next time you need to get a renewal, it will be for a shiny new residence permit, happily free of any expiration date.
If you are going for renewal, here is the list of necessary documents, according to my local immigration office:
IMG_6705.JPG
This notice reads that in order to renew your Russia residence permit you will need:
To write an appeal letter for renewal (an example is found in the bottom third of this page). Your passport and notarized passport translation. Your current residence permit. A document proving that you passed the Russian language, history, and law tests. 2 photos, 35X45 on non-glossy photo paper. And your receipt of paying the related fees. Currently, that amount is 5000 rubles. Which means if you have 4 kids and 1 wife, like this blogger, the total fees will be 30,000 rubles. If you have already received your temporary residence permit you will agree with me- this could not possibly be any simpler. But if you have renewed before, the new system might make you uneasy, just like it did me. You see, in the past, you had to apply for renewal no later than 2 months before your residence permit was due for expiration.
However, the wording of the law under the renewal/no expiration date reform states that you can apply during the validity period of your current residence permit. I hate keeping anything until the last minute. So, in all, I paid 11 visits to my local immigration office over a period of 2 months. Each time, I found a bit more useful information that was helpful in the process and was told to come back last minute.
If you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Russia, it is strongly recommended that you apply further in advance than we did!
It’s probably worth mentioning that the lines in the immigration offices have become much more organized, much less desperate, and happily shorter, due to many people making appointments online. It’s a much better system. The lines didn’t really bother me during those 11 visits. I do have queue experience, and I’ve learned that these types of situations in Russia are much more about a journey than a formula. Once you learn that philosophical truth you will find life to be much more enjoyable.
And I do have a little experience with queues in Russia. 🙂
Long story short, two weeks of relative uneasiness, and yesterday we received our unlimited Russia residence permits. Of course, this story is not over, because you have 7 days to get registered, so will be scrambling to do that after I write this blog post.
The Russian Language, History, and Law Test
This is sort of a side-show that perhaps deserves its own blog post. If you have already done the test in the past 5 years, you shouldn’t have to do it again. I had never done the test before. Here are a few points that I still remember.
The year that the Romanov dynasty began. If you adopt a child in Russia, you can’t marry them later. I think if you fail that question you should not be allowed to get a residence permit anywhere. There was an uprising in 1825. Not sure what the kerfuffle was all about, but I know the year. Your employer in Russia does not have the right to take away your passport. There were quite a few points about labor law, presumably to protect new immigrants. There is a fish festival in Moscow every year. We listened to an audio segment about this and then answered questions. I wrote a letter to an imaginary friend describing how I had taken part in a dance competition in Moscow. Come to think of it, that’s all I remember! Which is sort of surprising because I think I answered 100% of the answers right. I’m not bragging. I’m just saying.
Try a Sample Russian Language Test
Try a Sample Russian History Test
Try a Sample Russian Law Test
If you speak Russian and can memorize facts, it’s not too difficult. Much easier than a Russian driver’s license test.
If you are serious about getting Russian residency, and want a guide, you can contact my friend Dmitry Phillipov here. Dmitry is great and has helped a lot of folks. Dmitry’s consultations start at 250 euros, so only serious inquiries. If you are at the beginning of your journey to Russia, I recommend that you start off with some time on Google and a visa.
As for me, I guess the next step for me is to apply for Russian citizenship. Because when it comes to love for the Motherland… it’s all about the journey.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

The two ways to lock a preference are:

This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
(2) Autoconfig

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

My channel is not political, so I want to ask you questions about your experience of living in Russia as an american, about differences in culture of the US and Russia and things that surprised you about Russians in the areas of habits, communication, business e t.c.
1) However, I think we can’t skip the reason why you are in Russia. Let’s start from the beginning, could you please tell your story? (about your profession back in the US and volunteering at the Peace Corps)
2014.
I was a lawyer in the United States. I was unhappy. I was living in a 3 story house and I was alone in my personal life and in my beliefs. I longed for the Odessa sunsets. I longed for her. The woman on the rock, the woman I dated twice and who screamed at the top of her lungs at how happy she was. I was reaccepted into the Peace Corps, but it was an insignificant country in an important time in world history. I was accepted to go to teach in China. I sold everything. As I was ready to board the plane, dog in hand, there was a layover and I was stuck in Boston. I got a phone call from English First in the airport, saying that they were not going to accept me, and if I came they would arrest me. I went back to the big empty 3 story house, and wept, with only my dog Knopka to comfort me.
December 1999.
Putin had just came to power, 1 day before. I was in Chicago. The next day, group 17 Ukraine flew to Kiev.
2) Why did you decide to run away from the US? Why did you choose Russia? How did you obtain the temporary asylum?
Run away has negative connotations in America. I moved away, for brighter pastures. For a new start in 2015. I was denied political asylum in 2016.
3) What do you do in Russia? (your occupation) What are your goals here?
I am a lawyer. I am starting a non-governmental organization. NGO. Like most Russians. I have my fingers in a lot of pies.
4) Let’s discuss the cultural aspects and that’s what my channel mainly focuses on.
Did you have a cultural shock? (memorize your first day here and your impressions)
My fremeny picked me and my dog Knopka up at the airport in a BMW and then dropped me off at my apartment. He never went in with me. I didn’t see him again for months. He was too busy for me. I was exhausted but excited.
5) You are writing a book “Why Don’t Russians Smile?” the aim of which is to reveal the mystery of a Russian soul. Let’s start from the title :
So, Why don’t Russians smile after all? What is the answer?
How long do we have? Smile, laugh
Coconuts and peaches.
6) Many americans who have Russian friends say “why does the US have problems with Russians? We’re not that different”. What are the similarities between Russians and Americans?
The Russian soul. Russky dusha exists and one of my goals is to quantify it.
7) What are the main differences according to your book, your research?
Discuss:
- collectivism vs individualism
America is the most individualistic country in the world (89%) wheareas Russia is at approximately 45% on the scale. (Hoffstead)
- Russian pessimism
A pessimist is an informed optimist. Americans expect things to turn good and get annoyed when they don’t . Russians are surprised when things turn out good, and expect failure. History, most recently the 1990s are to blame.
- Differences in education systems : cheating culture, high school and universities in usa vs Russia
Cheating in Russia is rife. In the island of America it is not. America has the highest number of people who believe in angels of any industrialized country.
8) You have a chapter “American are like peaches, Russians are like coconuts?”. Why are Americans peaches and Russians are coconuts?
I wish I would have come up with this idea. In the moronic cross cultural training in the US Peace Corps there were some bright spots. A lot of bright spots. One was the deep relationships I formed, which I all lost in 2014. They used the analogy of an egg and a peach.
(What should you do if you’re a peach amongst coconuts?)
If you are a peach among coconuts, expect to be bruised. There are 13 million coconuts in Moscow. Moscow vies for the country with the most immigrants in the world, second only to America. Germany continues to fall and rise as second place.
9) How do Russians and Americans interpret the question “How are you?” What is the difference?
Russians don’t ask how are you unless you really want to know more about the person.
Americans see how are you as a greeting.
10) You have a chapter “The Russian soul” – what are the traits of the Russian soul according to your research?
Its complicated.
11) Consumption of alcohol : Russia vs the US. Can you compare this feature?
In Russia it is a scourge. In America they pop pills.
12) Patience, punctuality and the perception of time. As an American, do you feel the difference of how Russians perceive the time? Was it difficult for you to adapt to this aspect of life?
Moscovites is the most cutthroat and business like place in Russia, yet people are still late.
Friends come first in Russia. If you get a call from a lifelong friend, your important presentation can wait. Whereas Americans turn off their phones.
13) Let’s talk about differences in communication. What are the main differences? (verbosity, straightforwardness, physical contact) (Americans find Russians rude)
Russians are very straightforward in business, whereas Americans are gentler.
Americans are more straightforward in personal affairs, whereas Russians are more gentler and intimate.
14) Business. What are the main differences in how Russians and Americans act in business?
You will have to ask Luc Jones about that.
15) Do you want to stay in Russia? What are the plans for the future? (Why do you want to live in Russia? (cold weather, lower level of life, people aren’t so friendly) Have you traveled? Where would you prefer to live?
Yes. I will live here for the rest of my life. I want to be the first American buried at the base of the Kremlin in the 21st century. Russia is the Wild East with cell phones. As an American I am a super star and super villain, depending on the hour. The opportunities for Americans are vast and unfathomable. Moscow beckons. I am home in Moscow.
I have traveled to Kazan to look up the Soviet Sex school. Other than that, I have never been outside of Moscow in 5 years. I am always working.
16) What advice would you give to expats living or at least visiting Russia? Don’t fall in love until you read our book, WhyDontRussiansSmile.com "There are moments in life when you must act even though you cannot carry your best friends with you. The still small voice within you must always be the final arbiter when there is a conflict of duty." -- Mahatma Gandhi (as mentioned in the podcast).

Sexpionage - visiting the FSB in Kazan
- RE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexpionage#Soviet_and_Russian_sexpionage (I wrote the majority of this article)
On March 10, 2020 I visited the Kazan FSB. This was the only trip I had ever taken out of Moscow in ~3.5 years.
My hobbies and bucket list involves several former unique places, including KGB sites such as the KGB Spy town. On 6-10 of March I visited Kazan to find the Kazan Tatarstan Sexpionage School. The inspiration for the movie of Red Sparrow, former CIA agent Jason Matthews, said that this school was there. This author helped me over Facebook.
I visited the Mormon church on my first day in Kazan, ask about the sex spy school, found some leads and hired an investigator named Andri +7-986-710-88-12 who worked with one of my translators, Anna over the phone.
- FSB Kazan
On Tuesday (Monday was a holiday) , I was at a dead end. I had met many people who said they had family members and friends who were KGB, and I had to go back home the next morning. The historical archives that Andri and I visited initially said to go to the FSB to request the documents. So I went with Andri to the FSB. The guard said we had to write a request, so I had my translator write up a request, which Andri wrote. We returned to the FSB. We were met with a middle aged woman who said she would look into it. And I would receive a response in 1 month.
I knew this was a dead end. I never received a response.

Sources for what was discussed on the show
The United States is the most violent country internationally today
America spends more money, sells more weapons, and had more military bases then any country in the world.
Statics today
- In 45 countries the U.S. military bases prop up undemocratic regimes.[1]
- The U.S. is by far the largest military spender in the world, accounting for 36% of the total, spending almost as much as the next eight countries combined.[2]
- The United States has an estimated 800 bases in 70 countries around the world.[3]
- The United States is the biggest weapons seller in the world. The Saudi Arabian dictatorship is America's number one customer.[4]
- Globally, more people see U.S. power as a major threat. Across 30 nations surveyed by Pew Research Center both in 2013 and in 2017, a median of 38% now say U.S. power and influence poses a major threat to their country[5]
- American police killed 260 blacks of 1,098 people in total in 2019. By contrast, Americans have conservatively killed over 100,000 minorities overseas in 2019. Where is the outrage about the 100,000 people?[6]
Historically
- The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. I cannot be silent. - Martin Luther King.[7]
- Conservative estimates is that the United States has killed 6 million people since the end of World War II. The same number of Jews that Hitler killed in the Holocaust.[8]
- America Has Been At War 93% of the Time – 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776“, i.e. the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth.[9]
- Since the end of World War 2, the United States has:
- Attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, most of which were democratically-elected.
- Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.
- Attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders.
- Attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries.
- Grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.
- Led the world in torture; not only the torture performed directly by Americans upon foreigners, but providing torture equipment, torture manuals, lists of people to be tortured, and in-person guidance by American teachers, especially in Latin America. For example, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_and_CIA_interrogation_manuals. [10]
- For its entire history, America has supported brutal dictatorships and overthrown democratically elected governments to install dictators. After the Indian Wars in the 1800s America overthrew the Spanish Empire. It began to invade Central and South American countries in the late 1800s.
- The author of "War is a Racket" Smedly Butler joined the Marines in 1898 at the age of 17 in order to fight in the Spanish-American War, and he rose through the ranks while participating in virtually every American military intervention between 1898 until his retirement in 1931 as the senior ranking officer of the Marine Corps. He was also the most decorated Marine ever at the time of his death, including two Medals of Honor.[11][12]
Guatemala syphilis experiments lawsuit with the Department of Health and Human Services
In March 2011, seven plaintiffs filed a federal class action lawsuit against the U.S. government claiming damages for the Guatemala experiments. This case argued that the United States was at fault due to not asking for consent. This lawsuit asked for money to compensate for medical damages and livelihood because most of the families were living in poverty. The case failed when a judge determined that the U.S. government could not be held liable for actions committed outside of the U.S.[13]
Other experiments on Americans
- I mentioned the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. It was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African-American men in the study were only told they were receiving free health care from the Federal government of the United States.I incorrectly stated that Obama apologized. On May 16, 1997, President Bill Clinton formally apologized on behalf of the United States to victims of the study.[14]
- Other experiments on Americans, include:
- Operation Midnight Climax. 1954-1966 Prostitutes on the CIA payroll were instructed to lure clients back to the safehouses, where they were surreptitiously plied with a wide range of substances, including LSD, and monitored behind one-way glass.[15]
- Operation Sea-Spray - 1950 in in which biological weapon bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay Area in California.[16]
- Etc.[17]
The current Yemen Proxy War
- More articles on this subject: Peace:Yemen
Definition of Proxy war
- Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed or "disappeared", at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame. — Amnesty International. 1996.
A proxy war is an armed conflict between two states or non-state actors which act on the instigation or on behalf of other parties that are not directly involved in the hostilities.[18]
- Afghanistan USSR War was a proxy war for the United States.
- The CIA backed the Afghanistan terrorists for years before the invasion. See Afghanistan War.
- The CIA provided weapons and intelligence to the mujaheddin (jihadists) rebels fighting Soviet invasion in what was called "Operation Cyclone"
- Many authors suggest that Osama Bin Laden was created during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, in what is called "BlowBack" (described below). "During the anti-Soviet war Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Some analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA." [19]
- In a book written by a member of President Carter's cabinet, the cabinet member excited explains how he pulled the Soviet Union into the war. (Finding source)
Yemen Proxy War
- The current Yemen War is a proxy war waged by the Saudi Arabia and funded by America.
- Saudi Warplanes, Most Made in America, Still Bomb Civilians in Yemen[20]
- Why Bombs Made in America Have Been Killing Civilians in Yemen. President Trump sees arms deals as jobs generators for firms like Raytheon, which has made billions in sales to the Saudi coalition. The Obama administration initially backed the Saudis too.[21]
- Saudi Arabia, a brutal dictatorship, buys more weapons from the United States then another other country.[4]
- All of the pilots in the Yemen War were trained by the United States to fly American airplanes. America is:
- Saudi and allied warplanes have conducted more than 20,000 airstrikes on Yemen since the war began, an average of 12 attacks a day.
- Only about a third of these attacks are on military targets. The coalition has also bombed hospitals, schools, markets, mosques, farms, factories, bridges, and power and water treatment plants.[25]
- Congress passed a bipartisan resolution withdrawing American support for the war, which was blocked by President Trump, who used his first veto in April, 2019.[20]
Result of Yemen Proxy War
- In June 2019, an independent monitoring group, the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, released a report detailing more than 90,000 fatalities since the war began in 2015.[25]
- An outbreak of cholera began in Yemen in October 2016 and is ongoing as of April 2019. As of October 2018, there have been more than 1.2 million cases reported, and more than 2,500 people—58% children—have died in the Yemen cholera outbreak, which the United Nations deemed the worst humanitarian crisis in the world at that time.[26]
- Saudi Arabia intentionally targeted utilities in Yemen. "Airstrikes damaged hospital infrastructure, and water supply and sanitation in Yemen were affected by the ongoing conflict." "This deadly cholera outbreak is the direct consequence of two years of heavy conflict. Collapsing health, water and sanitation systems have cut off 14.5 million people from regular access to clean water and sanitation."[27][25]
- Targeting water and hospitals is similar to what the United States did during the Iraq War. The United Nations estimate that 16 million of the 29 million people in Yemen lack access to safe water and basic sanitation.[28]
- Saudi Arabia intentionally targeted utilities in Yemen. "Airstrikes damaged hospital infrastructure, and water supply and sanitation in Yemen were affected by the ongoing conflict." "This deadly cholera outbreak is the direct consequence of two years of heavy conflict. Collapsing health, water and sanitation systems have cut off 14.5 million people from regular access to clean water and sanitation."[27][25]
- 85,000 Children in Yemen May Have Died of Starvation.[29]
Collective Guilt
- See Collective Guilt
Congressional Industrial Military Complex
The Industrial Military Complex is an informal alliance between a nation's military and the defense industry that supplies it, which influences public policy
The term was coined in the farewell address of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on January 17, 1961, who stated, "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex."
In one draft of the speech, the phrase was "military–industrial–congressional complex", indicating the essential role that the United States Congress plays in the propagation of the military industry, but the word "congressional" was dropped from the final version to appease the then-currently elected officials.[30]
Iraq War Casualties
I stated that conservatively the United States has killed a half million people.[31]
A vast majority of products are made by oil
Over 6,000 items are made from petroleum waste by-products, including: fertilizer, flooring (floor covering), perfume, insecticide, petroleum jelly, soap and vitamins.[32]
Products made from petroleum, lists 144 of 6000 items [33]
Occam's Razor
Occam's Razor is a line of reasoning that says the simplest answer is often correct.
i described how I use Occam's Razor to explain what happens to me in Moscow. But occasionally Occam's Razor cannot explain some of the experiences that I have had.
I am 90% certain that I have been propositioned by two stunningly gorgeous honeypots on at least two occasions, and a low level prostitute in my old apartment for a third (Occam’s razor says that I am being foolish – but this is one case where I am almost positive). The Washington Post reported in 1987 that "Most westerners who have spent any length of time in Moscow have their favorite tale of an attempted seduction by a KGB swallow or raven." Now prostitutes’ are hired by the state and those who want "kompromat"[34]

Gary Webb - the CIA covered up Contra drug trafficking
- When you mentioned the heroin poppy seeds in Afghanistan, I mentioned Gary Webb in passing.
- Webb is best known for his "Dark Alliance" series, which appeared in The Mercury News in 1996. The series examined the origins of the crack cocaine trade in Los Angeles and claimed that members of the anti-communist Contra rebels in Nicaragua had played a major role in creating the trade, using cocaine profits to support their struggle. It also suggested that the Contras may have acted with the knowledge and protection of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Later journalists found that Webb's reporting showed that "The CIA conducted an internal investigation that acknowledged in March 1998 that the agency had covered up Contra drug trafficking for more than a decade."
- Webb committed suicide in 2004 with two gunshot wounds to the head.
Howard Zinn
- As one of Zinn's book titles states: "You Can't Be Neutral On a Moving Train"
Howard Zinn is an author best known for the book, "A People's History of the United States".
In World War 2, a passing conversation with an warplane gunner changed Howard Zinn's life forever. Zinn argued that America was not imperialist and went away troubled with what this stranger said. Two weeks later this warplane gunner was shot down and killed. Decades later Zinn became an anti-war activist and author of the seminal "A People's History of the United States" This bombardier never truly knew the last legacy of love and peace he created in this world. Just and Unjust War excerpt: [Zinn] flew the last bombing missions of the war, got my Air Medal and my battle stars. I was quietly proud of my participation in the great war to defeat fascism. But when I packed up my things at the end of the war and put my old navigation logs and snapshots and other mementos in a folder, I marked that folder, almost without thinking, "Never Again." I'm still not sure why I did that, because it was not until years later that I began consciously to question the motives, the conduct, and the consequences of that crusade against fascism. The point was not that my abhorrence of fascism was in any way diminished. I still believed something had to be done to stop fascism. But that clear certainty of moral rightness that propelled me into the Air Force as an enthusiastic bombardier was now clouded over by many thoughts. Perhaps my conversations with that gunner on the other crew, the one who loaned me The Yogi and the Commisar, gave me the first flickers of doubt. He spoke of the war as "an imperialist war," fought on both sides for national power. Britain and the United States opposed fascism only because it threatened their own control over resources and people. Yes, Hitler was a maniacal dictator and invader of other countries. But what of the British Empire and its long history of wars against native peoples to subdue them for the profit and glory of the empire? And the Soviet Union--was it not also a brutal dictatorship, concerned not with the working classes of the world but with its own national power? I was puzzled. "Why," I asked my friend, "are you flying missions, risking your life, in a war you don't believe in?" His answer astonished me. "I'm here to speak to people like you." I found out later he was a member of the Socialist Workers party; they opposed the war but believed that instead of evading military service they should enter it and propagandize against the war every moment they could. I couldn't understand this, but I was impressed by it. Two weeks after that conversation with him, he was killed on a mission over Germany.[35] |

perfect is the enemy of good
What does "perfect is the enemy of good" mean?
Since you can never achieve perfection, if you wait to be perfect before you do anything, nothing will ever get done.
The Pareto principle or 80–20 rule explains this numerically. For example, it commonly takes 20% of the full time to complete 80% of a task while to complete the last 20% of a task takes 80% of the effort.
Peace Corps only taught 3 months of language training
Lee Harvey Oswald, who later killed President John F. Kennedy, lived in Belarus for 3 years. He only had one month of language training before it was mysteriously ended:
- Oswald's tutoring began soon after Oswald arrived at the Experimental Department...Libezin was unconcerned: most important, he said, was that Oswald acquire some basic facility in the language...[they] met for one month, and then it was decided that the American now spoke Russian. Shushkevich told me he did not know who had made this decision...Shushkevich suspected it had come from someone higher up who did not work at the factory, and he said he had no idea how that person had determined that Oswald had made any progress—there were no tests, and he never filed any reports with Libezin or anyone else—but he wasn’t sure that was important. All he knew for sure was that one day, unexpectedly, his social work came to an end.
The United States Peace Corps Ukraine offered 3 months of language training for volunteers.
Not discussed on the podcast
American Civil Religion
- American civil religion is a term coined by sociologist Robert Bellah in 1967. According to Bellah, Americans embrace a common "civil religion" with certain fundamental beliefs, values, holidays, and rituals, parallel to, or independent of, their chosen religion.[38]
Blowback
The 9/11 attacks were Blowback for American's actions in the Middle East.
Definition: “Blowback” is a CIA term first used in March 1954 in a recently declassified report on the 1953 operation to overthrow the government of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran. It is a metaphor for the unintended consequences of the US government’s international activities that have been kept secret from the American people. The CIA’s fears that there might ultimately be some blowback from its egregious interference in the affairs of Iran were well founded. Installing the Shah in power brought twenty-five years of tyranny and repression to the Iranian people and elicited the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution.[39]
The democracy that America espouses ends at its seashore
- The U.S. intervened in 81 foreign elections between 1946 and 2000. At the same time brutally overthrowing many of these same countries in coups and installing ruthless dictators.[40]
- PSYOPs - After World War II the United States and the USSR began a concerted effort to manipulate populations overseas. In declassified documents the United States is show to be willing to "propagandize, subvert, sabotage....manipulate" and lie:
The invention of the atomic bomb will cause a shift in the balance between ‘peaceful’ and ‘warlike’ methods of exerting international pressure. And we must expect a very marked increase in the importance of ‘peaceful’ methods. Our enemies will be even freer than [ever] to propagandize, subvert, sabotage and exert . . . pressures upon us, and we ourselves shall be more willing to bear these affronts and ourselves to indulge in such methods—in our eagerness to avoid at all costs the tragedy of open war; ‘peaceful’ techniques will become more vital in times of pre-war softening up, actual overt war, and in times of post-war manipulation.”[41][42]

The power of an idea - the influence that each of us have on others
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. -- Margaret Mead
Malcolm Gladwell discussed based on scientific studies how subtle comments can have extreme effect on people.
In my sociology course, I learned that - 1 man does something it is mocked as crazy and derided. Two or more is not.
How dissenting voices are silenced in America
"In our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either." --Mark Twain
- The Spiral of Silence
...By Sociologist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann
👑 People who see that the dominant social attitudes contradict their own position, “fall silent”, to avoid expressing their point of view, because they are afraid to be in the minority.
👑 The more prevalent the prevailing point of view seems to them, the more they “fall silent”.
The Overton window, also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas tolerated in public discourse.
The best book on how dissenting voices are silenced on a macro level is Manufacturing Dissent by Noam Chomsky:
- Rather than needing direct control over the media as in dictatorships, industrial democracies control popular opinion using "filters" which prevent politically controversial ideas from reaching the public. Here are three of the five filters:
- the concentration of media ownership to a few corporations,
- the need to please advertisers and funding sources,
- the reliance on government-provided sources,
...These influences combine to prevent politically inconvenient knowledge and ideas from reaching the general public.
- Chomsky discusses Walter Lippmann author of 1922's Public Opinion. Shortly after it was published, John Dewey called Lippmann’s book “the most effective indictment of democracy as currently conceived.”
American Sniper: There are 3 types of people in this world "Sheep, Wolves and Sheep Dogs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar1WygVl_Vg
- Youtube video clip of "American Sniper"
- 'The irony is this man who is portrayed in the movie, Chris Kyle was an American Sniper in Iraq and later died in a bar fight
- I see myself as an aspiring "sheep dog"
- America economically benefits from misery, death and destruction for generations (Indian genocide, Slavery) ...and only generations later contritely apologies about these horrors which built the country. History will not be kind to the United States. There will someday be a reconciliation of what the United States did.
The Chinese Century started in 2015
The United States is fragile.
The Chines century started in 2015. When the history of 2015 is written, China became the largest economy. In 2014, the body that conducts international "Purchasing-power parities" assessments—the World Bank’s International Comparison Program came out with new numbers. The organization predicted that China would become the world’s largest economy far sooner than anyone had expected, in 2015.[44]
In 1976 Emmanuel Todd in La chute finale: Essais sur la décomposition de la sphère Soviétique (The Final Fall: An essay on the decomposition of the Soviet sphere), predicted the collapse of the United States.[45] In 2003 he wrote After the Empire: The Breakdown of the American Order. Todd argues that America is fast losing its grip on the world stage in economic, military and ideological terms. Todd predicts the fall of the United States as the sole global superpower.[46]
Strategies to economically cripple the United States
- Here are one or two of the many many ideas that I have. I have written and mailed to Putin's inner circle a number of times about ideas such as this.
Copyright
The last day I went into the American embassy in February 2020:
38.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is in copyrightThe more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily. Every person, organization and country has an Achilles heel. The larger the person, organization, or country, the bigger the Achilles heel. In 2016 US Presidential a Saint Petersburg troll farm company helped get Donald J. Trump get elected. The election shows that Russians are acutely cognizant of many of America's Achilles heels. In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars to, or 38.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).[47] |
Immigration
Inviting poor and dissatisfied Americans to Russia
- See Wikipedia: The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin’s Russia
During the height of the depression, the 1930s Russia ran advertisements for Americans to come to Russia in the New York Times and other newspapers across the USA. Tens of thousands did.[48] In the first eight months of 1931, a Soviet trade agency in New York advertised 6,000 positions in newspapers and received more than 100,000 applications. Ten thousand Americans were hired in 1931. In March 1932, The New York Times reported that immigration to the Soviet Union was 1000 a week, but increasing.
Today, Russia should actively encourage Americans to immigrate from the United States again. The government can use swallows and other FSB intelligence sources to carefully watch new American immigrants. This past few months, Russia already has enacted new laws which involve radical reforms in the immigration system, allowing existing and new immigrants to become Russian citizens.
As an American,if you feel the same way about the United States, or you feel like people don’t see your value, Moscow beckons.

Active measures Against the United States
The KGB spent billions of dollars actively trying to subvert the United States domestically and abroad. This KGB playbook is being used again today by the SVR and FSB.
Its most successful campaign was the fabrication of the story that AIDS virus was manufactured by US scientists at Fort Detrick, called Operation INFEKTION.
Working as an "Internet Troll" in Saint Petersburg
The trolls in this facility were clearly not native speakers, which made them easy to detect. |
Kim Philby - creating fabricated documents
Former British intelligence officer Kim Philby found work in the early 1970s in the KGB's Active Measures Department churning out fabricated documents. Working from genuine unclassified and public CIA or U.S. State Department documents, Philby inserted “sinister” paragraphs regarding U.S. plans. The KGB would stamp the documents “top secret” and begin their circulation. For the Soviets, Philby was an invaluable asset, ensuring the correct use of idiomatic and diplomatic English phrases in their disinformation efforts.[49]
Steal this Book
Steal this Book is a book written by Abbie Hoffman in 1970. It explains how to fight the government through illegal activities. I have strongly considered updating the book with only legal activities to subvert the federal government. |

Russian Orthodox Saint - lawyer assassinated in 1922
ru.wikipedia.org Ковшаров, Иван Михайлович Иван Михайлович Ковшаров (26 июля 1878, Одесса — 13 августа 1922, Петроград) — российский юрист, адвокат, юрисконсульт Александро-Невской лавры. Расстрелян по приговору Петроградского ревтрибунала 13 августа 1922. Причислен к лику святых Русской Православной церкви в 1992 году.
Иван Михайлович Ковшаров Иоанн Михайлович Ковшаров.jpg Родился 26 июля 1878 Одесса Умер 13 августа 1922 (44 года) Петроград Почитается в православии В лике мучеников День памяти 31 июля (13 августа) Подвижничество мученическая кончина Родился в 1878 году в Одессе в семье мещанина[1]. Михаила Ивановича Ковшарова; дед его, Иван Иванович Ковшаров, был наиболее значительным одесским иконописцем и художником по интерьерам 2-й трети XIX века, среди его работ — роспись одесского Преображенского кафедрального собора и дворца М. С. Воронцова.
Во время учёбы на юридическом факультете Новороссийского (Одесского) университета он изучал церковное право у Александра Ивановича Алмазова, а римское право у Михаила Яковлевича Пергамента. Последнего за ораторское искусство называли одесским златоустом. Возможно, его личность повлияла на выбор Ковшаровым по окончании университета профессии адвоката.
Окончив университет в 1903 году, служил помощником присяжного поверенного в Одессе. По некоторым данным[1], участвовал в политических процессах большевиков и анархистов на стороне защиты.
В 1906 году переехал в Санкт-Петербург. В столице Ковшаров служил помощником присяжного поверенного Ксаверия Ивановича Валицкого.
В 1908 году он был зарегистрирован в качестве присяжного стряпчего при столичном коммерческом суде.
С 1911 года состоял присяжным поверенным Санкт-Петербургского округа Судебной палаты[Комм 1]. Связи с одесской адвокатурой Ковшаров не терял. Пригласил к себе в качестве помощников присяжного поверенного одесситов Григория Александровича Гольдштейна и Ипполита Ефимовича Лермана (расстрелян в 1937 году).
Во время своей адвокатской деятельности он вел имущественные дела церковных организаций, несколько раз выступал в качестве защитника в политических процессах.
С 1907 по 1912 год — помощник юрисконсульта Александро-Невской лавры Василия Соколова.
После Февральской революции 1917 года принимал участие в возрождении Партии народных социалистов.
С 1918 года — член Духовного собора и юрисконсульт лавры.
Весной 1918 года на Петроградском епархиальном съезде духовенства и мирян был избран комиссаром по епархиальным делам «для представительства и защиты общих прав и интересов» Петроградской епархии.
Ковшаров, ранее защищавший революционеров от царского правительства, теперь защищал Церковь, её служителей и имущество от новой власти. Он активно препятствовал закрытию церквей. Такое противодействие Ковшарова антирелигиозной политике властей не оставалось незамеченным.
Был среди членов правления Общества православных приходов Петрограда и губернии, которые выступали за компромисс с властями по вопросу о помощи голодающим. 6 марта 1922 года сопровождал митрополита Вениамина в Смольный на переговоры об изъятии церковных ценностей с членами комиссии «Помгола» Петроградского Совета, на которых представителям Церкви удалось достичь консенсуса с «Помголом».
В марте 1922 года был арестован и с 10 июня 1922 года был одним из основных подсудимых на Петроградском «процессе по делу о сопротивлении изъятию церковных ценностей».
Характеризовался как человек умный, убеждённый, решительный. По словам протопресвитера Михаила Польского, Ковшаров, «с первой же минуты процесса, ясно предвидевший его неизбежный финал, давал на поставленные ему вопросы хладнокровные, меткие по смыслу и часто едкие по форме ответы». В своём выступлении подробно разобрал доводы обвинения, виновным себя не признал и закончил словами: «Для братской могилы в шестнадцать человек материала для обвинения мало» (обвинение требовало 16 смертных приговоров).
Был приговорён к смертной казни. Расстрелян вместе с митрополитом Вениамином (Казанским), архимандритом Сергием (Шеиным) и профессором Юрием Новицким.
Реабилитирован посмертно постановлением Президиума Верховного суда РСФСР 31 октября 1990 года.
Причислен к лику святых как новомученик в 1992 году на Архиерейском соборе Русской Православной Церкви.

Kovsharov, Ivan Mikhailovich Ivan Mikhailovich Kovsharov (July 26, 1878, Odessa - August 13, 1922, Petrograd) - Russian lawyer, attorney, legal adviser of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. He was shot by the verdict of the Petrograd Revolutionary Tribunal on August 13, 1922. He was counted as a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992.
Ivan Mikhailovich Kovsharov John M. Kovsharov.jpg Born July 26, 1878 Odessa Died August 13, 1922 (44 years old) Petrograd Is revered in orthodoxy In the face martyrs Day of Remembrance July 31 (August 13) Asceticism martyrdom Born in 1878 in Odessa in the family of a tradesman [1]. Mikhail Ivanovich Kovsharov; his grandfather, Ivan Ivanovich Kovsharov, was the most significant Odessa icon painter and interior designer of the 2nd third of the 19th century, among his works - painting of the Odessa Transfiguration Cathedral and the palace of M. S. Vorontsov.
While studying at the law faculty of Novorossiysk (Odessa) University, he studied church law with Alexander Ivanovich Almazov, and Roman law with Mikhail Yakovlevich Parchment. The latter for oratory was called Odessa Chrysostom. Perhaps his personality influenced the choice of Kovsharov after graduating from the university as a lawyer.
After graduating from university in 1903, he served as an assistant attorney in Odessa. According to some data [1], he participated in the political processes of the Bolsheviks and anarchists on the side of the defense.
In 1906 he moved to St. Petersburg. In the capital, Kovsharov served as an assistant to the attorney Xavier Ivanovich Valitsky.
In 1908, he was registered as a sworn solicitor at the Metropolitan Commercial Court.
Since 1911, he was a sworn attorney of the St. Petersburg District of the Trial Chamber [Comm 1]. Kovsharov did not lose touch with Odessa lawyers. He invited to his place as assistant sworn attorneys of the inhabitants of Odessa, Grigory Alexandrovich Goldstein and Ippolit Efimovich Lerman (shot in 1937).
During his advocacy, he led the property affairs of church organizations, several times acted as a defender in political processes.
From 1907 to 1912 - assistant to the legal adviser of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra Vasily Sokolov.
After the February Revolution of 1917, he took part in the revival of the Party of Popular Socialists.
Since 1918 - a member of the Spiritual Cathedral and legal adviser of the Lavra.
In the spring of 1918, at the Petrograd Diocesan Congress of the clergy and laity, he was elected Commissioner for Diocesan Affairs "to represent and protect the common rights and interests" of the Diocese of Petrograd.
Kovsharov, who had previously defended the revolutionaries from the tsarist government, now defended the Church, its ministers and property from the new government. He actively prevented the closure of churches. Such opposition by Kovsharov to the anti-religious policy of the authorities did not go unnoticed.
He was among the members of the board of the Society of Orthodox Parishes of Petrograd and the province, who advocated a compromise with the authorities on the issue of helping the starving. On March 6, 1922, he accompanied Metropolitan Benjamin to Smolny for negotiations on the seizure of church property with members of the Pomgol commission of the Petrograd Soviet, at which Church representatives were able to reach a consensus with the Pomgol.
In March 1922 he was arrested and from June 10, 1922 he was one of the main defendants at the Petrograd "trial in the case of resistance to the seizure of church property."
Characterized as a smart, convinced, decisive person. According to Protopresbyter Mikhail Polsky, Kovsharov, “from the very first minute of the process, clearly foreseeing its inevitable ending, he would give answers to the questions posed to him in cold-blooded, accurate in meaning and often caustic in form”. In his speech, he examined in detail the arguments of the prosecution, pleaded not guilty and ended with the words: “For the mass grave of sixteen people there is not enough material for the prosecution” (the prosecution required 16 death sentences).
He was sentenced to death. He was shot along with Metropolitan Benjamin (Kazan), Archimandrite Sergius (Shein) and Professor Yuri Novitsky.
Rehabilitated posthumously by a decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the RSFSR on October 31, 1990.
He was counted as a new martyr in 1992 at the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Born
John Mark Dougan December 15, 1976 (age 42) Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.
Residence Moscow, Russia
Nationality American
Occupation Chief Executive Officer
Employer Badger Aero
Known for Fleeing to Moscow, Russia to evade FBI
Criminal charge Unauthorised Access of a Computer (Hacking)
Website https://badvolf.com/
John Dougan (Russian: Джон Марк Дуган) is a former police officer who fled the United States for Moscow, Russia to obtain political asylum in 2016. Dougan was running a website that had been critical of Ric Bradshaw, the sheriff of Palm Beach County, Florida. Dougan fled after his home was raided by law enforcement authorities on March 14, 2016.[1]
Dougan stated that after the raid on his home, the FBI was following him and his family, so he decided to flee the country. He wore various disguises and snuck into Canada to avoid U.S. Customs, which he suspected had him on a no-fly list. Dougan then took a flight from Toronto to Istanbul, and boarded another flight to his final destination, Moscow, Russia.[2]
In 2009, Dougan started his website, PBSOtalk.org, and began making public records requests based on tips from readers and anonymous posters on the website. In 2012, he received information and public records, that the elected Sheriff of Palm Beach County was using taxpayer money to take campaign contributors, some with ties to organized crime. After filing a complaint with the Florida Commission on Ethics, the Sheriff was cleared "because he didn't know it was a violation of the law." However, the Commission stated the money he used to take those people to dinner was "inconsistent with the proper performance of his public duties".[3]
Shortly after the ethics complaint was filed, the Chief Deputy of Palm Beach County filed a lawsuit against Dougan [4] after the Sheriff's office tried unsuccessfully to purchase the web site from Dougan.
In what was billed as a digital election-day dirty trick the night before the November 2012 elections,[5] an email was sent out to the A-list of voters in Palm Beach County from BurtAaronson.com, a domain owned by Dougan. The email stated that BurtAaronson.com no longer endorsed the Sheriff as a candidate and instead endorsed the other candidate in the race. The real Burt Aaronson, who was, at the time, a county commissioner, stated he was outraged and had no knowledge of the email. He accused Dougan of identity theft, and attempted to have Dougan arrested. The Palm Beach County State Attorney's office, however, determined since Dougan owned the domain, he was legally justified in using it, however, called the email "outrageous conduct," further saying that laws have not kept up with mischief that can be wreaked on the Internet.[5]
In 2015, Dougan obtained and posted a collection of audio recordings of a Palm Beach County detective speaking to an unidentified woman. The recordings revealed targeted retaliations and investigations against the Sheriff's political enemies, including Dougan, that speak critically of the Sheriff.[6] The FBI and Palm Beach County raid on Dougan's home was motivated by the posting of these audio files, which was deemed to be wiretapping. The other reason listed on the warrant was for suspected hacking, and posting of names, of thousands of names, addresses and phone numbers of law enforcement officers, judges and FBI agents, though the property appraiser claimed nothing was ever hacked.[7] Dougan claimed it was merely a reason to seize his computers and attempt to locate the sources of his information as well as to shut down his web site.
2016 Election Claims[edit]
During the 2016 U.S. Presidential elections, Dougan falsely claimed to have played a role in the leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.[8]

The rush to smear Assange’s rape accuser

The rush to smear Assange’s rape accuser
Despite a lack of credible evidence, WikiLeaks supporters -- including Naomi Wolf -- lash out at the alleged victim BY KATE HARDING
Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, which has made public about 500,000 classified U.S. files on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, holds a news conference at the Geneva Press Club in Geneva, November 4, 2010, the day before the United Nation's Human Rights Council examines the U.S. human rights record in its universal periodic review programme. REUTERS/Valentin Flauraud (SWITZERLAND - Tags: MEDIA POLITICS IMAGES OF THE DAY)(Credit: © Valentin Flauraud / Reuters) You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to find the timing of Interpol’s warrant for the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who turned himself in to British authorities today, curious. The charges — “one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape,” according to a statement from Scotland Yard — were brought against him in Sweden last August, yet he suddenly graduated to “most wanted” status just after releasing over a thousand leaked diplomatic cables in late November? It would be irresponsible of journalists, bloggers and average citizens of countries most eager to plug the gushing WikiLeaks not to wonder if those dots connect.
Still, as the New York Times put it, “there is no public evidence to suggest a connection,” which some members of the public seem to find unbearably frustrating. With no specific target for their suspicions and no easy way to find one, folks all over the blogosphere have been settling for the next best thing: making light of the sexual assault charges and smearing one of the alleged victims.
By Sunday, when Keith Olbermann retweeted Bianca Jagger’s link to a post about the accuser’s supposed CIA ties — complete with scare quotes around the word “rape” — a narrative had clearly taken hold: Whatever Assange did, it sure wasn’t rape-rape. All he did was fail to wear a rubber! And one woman who claims he assaulted her has serious credibility issues anyway. She threw a party in his honor after the fact and tried to pull down the incriminating tweets. Isn’t that proof enough? The only reason the charges got traction is that, in the radical feminist utopia of Sweden under Queen Lisbeth Salander, if a woman doesn’t have multiple orgasms during hetero sex, the man can be charged with rape. You didn’t know?
As of today, even Naomi Wolf — Naomi Effin’ Wolf! — has taken a public swipe at Assange’s accusers, using her status as a “longtime feminist” to underscore the absurdity of “the alleged victims … using feminist-inspired rhetoric and law to assuage what appears to be personal injured feelings.”
Wow. Admittedly, I don’t have as much experience being a feminist as Wolf has, but when I see a swarm of people with exactly zero direct access to the facts of a rape case loudly insisting that the accusation has no merit, I usually start to wonder about their credibility. And their sources.
Wolf links to exactly one, an article in British tabloid the Daily Mail. “Using a number of sources including leaked police interviews,” writes Richard Pendlebury, “we can begin to piece together the sequence of events which led to Assange’s liberty being threatened by Stockholm police rather than Washington, where already one U.S. politician has called on him to executed for ‘spying’.” Well! A reasonable person might be skeptical of information coming from a single anonymous source via a publication known for highly sensationalized reporting, sure, but in this case, there are a number of them.
That Daily Mail article also helped to inspire a Dec. 3 Gizmodo post in which Jesus Diaz boldy asserted, “While you can say Assange is a douchebag for not putting a condom on and continuing after the woman requested he use a condom, there was no rape accusation in both cases.” The other source for that claim was an AOL News article that relied on (hey, look!) the same Daily Mail piece, a Swedish tabloid, and statements from Assange’s lawyers to cobble together a theory of what happened and why Assange was charged. Rock solid!
To Diaz and Gizmodo’s credit, they quickly posted an update upon learning that the Swedish prosecution office had “issued a notice saying that they are charging Assange with rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.” Diaz added, “Obviously, this is now a completely different issue altogether. Rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion are extremely grave accusations. This is not the ‘sex by surprise’ accusation that was discussed before.” (I don’t know that I’d go as far as “a completely different issue altogether” — Feministe’s Jill Filipovic wrote a terrific explanation of why “sex by surprise” actually is a pretty big deal — but good on him for acknowledging that much.) Still, the notion that consensual, unprotected sex equals rape in Sweden (despite millions of Swedish fathers walking around free today) continues zipping around the Internet. One wonders if today’s statement from Swedish authorities, which elaborates that Assange is accused of “using his body weight to hold [a woman] down in a sexual manner” and having intercourse with a sleeping woman, among other things, will even slow them down.
OK, so maybe the charges really are for rape-rape, but still — the woman has CIA ties! I’ve read that on at least a dozen blogs! Keith Olbermann tweeted it and everything! That’s got to be coming from a highly credible source, right?
Actually, as far as I can tell, the only source for that claim is an August Counterpunch article by Assange fanboys (seriously, they recast him as Neo of “The Matrix”) Israel Shamir and Paul Bennett. Here’s the most damning evidence Shamir and Bennett have compiled against Assange’s accuser:
1) She’s published “anti-Castro diatribes” in a Swedish-language publication that, according to an Oslo professor, Michael Seltzer (who?), is “connected with Union Liberal Cubana led by Carlos Alberto Montaner,” who reportedly has CIA ties. Let me repeat that: She has been published in a journal that is connected with a group that is led by a guy with CIA ties. Says this one guy.
2) “In Cuba she interacted with the feminist anti-Castro group Las damas de blanco (the Ladies in White). This group receives US government funds and the convicted anti-communist terrorist Luis Posada Carriles is a friend and supporter.” That link goes to an English translation of a Spanish article noting that at a march last spring, Posada “wander[ed] unleashed and un-vaccinated along Calle Ocho in Miami, marching alongside” — wait for it — “Gloria Estefan in support of the so-called Ladies in White.” Apparently, it’s “an established fact” that Posada and the Ladies also share a shady benefactor, which means he should clearly be called a “friend” of the organization, and this is totally relevant to the rape charges against Julian Assange, because the accuser once interacted with them in some manner.
3) The accuser is a known feminist who once wrote a blog post about getting revenge on men, and “was involved in Gender Studies in Uppsala University, in charge of gender equality in the Students’ Union, a junior inquisitor of sorts.”
Are you kidding me? That’s what we’re basing the “CIA ties” meme on? An article that reads like a screenplay treatment by a college freshman who’s terrified of women? Actual quote: “[T]he Matrix plays dirty and lets loose a sex bomb upon our intrepid Neo. When you can’t contest the message, you smear the messenger. Sweden is tailor-made for sending a young man into a honey trap.”
Look, for all I know, Assange’s primary accuser does have CIA ties. Perhaps it was all a setup from the beginning. Perhaps she is lying through her teeth about the rape. Anything is possible. But in the absence of any real evidence one way or another, we’re choosing to believe these guys? Or at least this guy at Firedoglake, who says he’s “spent much of [his] professional life as a psychiatrist helping women (and men) who are survivors of sexual violence” — giving his post a shiny veneer of credibility, even though it’s a pure regurgitation of Shamir and Bennett’s — but segues from there into an indictment of the accuser’s post-rape behavior. She socialized with her attacker again! An expert like him can tell you that real victims never do that.
The fact is, we just don’t know anything right now. Assange may be a rapist, or he may not. His accuser may be a spy or a liar or the heir to Valerie Solanas, or she might be a sexual assault victim who now also gets to enjoy having her name dragged through the mud, or all of the above. The charges against Assange may be retaliation for Cablegate or (cough) they may not.
Public evidence, as the Times noted, is scarce. So, it’s heartening to see that in the absence of same, my fellow liberal bloggers are so eager to abandon any pretense of healthy skepticism and rush to discredit an alleged rape victim based on some tabloid articles and a feverish post by someone who is perhaps not the most trustworthy source. Well done, friends! What a fantastic show of research, critical thinking and, as always, respect for women. K

The Milwaukee Journal: Typical Yankee City in Russia Described
Monday April 13, 1959.
Stockholm, Sweden - UPI - The big, shining American automobile drew up outside the "Texas Bar". A tall man in an ivy league suit got out and sauntered in to the dimly lit saloon.
"A sweet martini," he ordered.
"Nyet," snarled the barman.' "No American would drink a sweet martini. Now start all over again."
"Well, how about a Scotch on the rocks?"
Maj. Per Lindgren writing in I the Swedish military journal; "Contact With the Armed Forces." says this is the sort of thing' that happens every day in the; "typically American" town of Winniza, USSR.
30,000 Inhabitants
For Winniza, Lindgren says, is Russia’s top school for Soviet spies scheduled for assignment in the United States.
Russian spy training in Winniza. a tightly guarded town of 30.000 inhabitants in the central Ukraine, is the most efficient m the world.' Lindgren says "Nobody graduates until they are completely Indoctrinated into the American way of life," he said. Some of them spend up to 13 years there before their big chance comes." ,
According to Lindgren;
- About 1,000 students from Russian universities are sent there ever year. The town is surrounded by barbed wire. Guards patrol the boundaries and "ordinary" Russians are not allowed entry.
- All cars are American made. Bars and drugstores abound, jukeboxes blare out American jazz and rock & roll at all hours. Glamor girls put on burlesque shows.
- Instructors act as barmen, waiters, hotel receptionists and shop hands. Every mistake is corrected on the spot. Every kind of American accent is taught. History strictly from the American angle, is pumped into the students.
- They learn how to make telephone calls, how to order theater tickets in Boston, how to talk authoritatively on baseball. There is a special course on Hollywood with special emphasis on the seamier side of life there.
- Students have to put themselves m the place of middle class Americans defending United States foreign policy.
- They're [taught] ... to drive under American regulations - and how to react if pulled up by a traffic officer. Chewing gum machines adorn the sidewalks. The movie theaters show only American pictures. Poker is the only card game allowed.
Sources Not Revealed
Lindgren did not disclose his sources for the article, but he I said. ‘Allied counterespionage is well aware of Winniza's existence "
He added that the Allies also* knew about the Russian school 'for female spies at Marienburg, in Saxony, East Germany.
He said the Marienburg center was camouflaged as a dancing and gymnastic school and the "girls who graduate from there go to work mainly in West Germany where American military personnel are stationed.*'
They are the best looking women available, perfectly trained in everything from make-up to swearing in "Americancse" Lindgren said their most important course was "the art of seduction." but they also learn to dance the newest Americans and Latin steps.
Lindgren said Marienburg's best known graduate was beautiful Irmgardt. She got five years in jail in 1950 for trying to get secrets from an American member of the Berlin espionage bureau.
Rus Spy Center is Copy of U.S. Town
April 13, 1959
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Russians are training more than 1,000 top students for spying In America at a center in the Ukraine constructed as an exact copy of a small American town, a Swedish army Journal said yesterday.
The Journal — called "Contact with the Army" said the students In the Soviet spy center of Winniza live the life of an average American student. They have their meals In snack bars or restaurants which could as well have been situated in New York, Chicago or San Francisco. The menu lists only American dishes.
The account gave these details:
The motion picture theaters in Winniza show only Hollywood movies and the stories sell only U. S. made articles. The students drive Fords or Chevrolets by U. S. traffic rules. They study the history of the US. in original American school books and they talk about baseball and the latest scandals.
The first stage in the training Is devoted entirely to studies of American dialects which they must be able to speak perfectly.
"The only genuine thing in this American city in the Ukraine is the high barbed wire fence that surrounds it," the army journal said.
"The pupils In this spy school are hand picked from the best students In Soviet universities. Western Intelligence services estimate the number of students at Winniza at between 1.000 and 1,300."
The training goes on for years, "in some cases even 10 years.*' "Then, when these agents go to the States—either in a legal way as diplomats or In other ways— they are ready at once to fill their mission."
Time Magazine: Iowa in the Ukraine
Monday, Apr. 27, 1959
Fords and Chevrolets honk under a movie marquee advertising a western.Blue notes from a cocktail lounge mingle with the blare of bebop from a drugstore jukebox. "A hamburger and a Coke," says the man in a Tennessee drawl, scuttling onto a lunch-counter stool. It might be Tupelo or Tuxedo Junction—but it is actually Vinnitsa in the Ukraine. The existence of a top-secret finishing school for Soviet spies, made in an exact copy of a small American town, has long been a fantasy of fiction writers, but has also been taken quite seriously as a possibility by U.S. counterintelligenee.
Last week, in the Swedish military journal Contact with the Army,Swedish Major Per Lindgren, a man well regarded as a Soviet analyst,pieced together the available evidence about Vinnitsa. Hand-picked from the most promising Russian university students, the 1,000 "citizens" of Vinnitsa, he reports, lead American lives from morning to night for as long as ten years. They master American dialects,learn American history from U.S. textbooks, gossip about American movie stars, and swap hot-stove-league baseball statistics.
"Everything in Vinnitsa down to the smallest detail is pure American."says Major Lindgren. "The bar serves American drinks, and the restaurant American food. The movies are Hollywood-made, and the stores sell everything from ready-made clothing to chewing gum." The only authentic Communist touch is the high, barbed-wire fence that seals Vinnitsa off from the rest of Russia.

News of the World With Morgan Beatty, NBC, October 6, 1960.
BEATTY. This is Morgan Beatty bringing you News of the World.
Tonight, in the headlines. The big story.
Two American tourists have uncovered Russia's deepest espionage secret.
Last free word from Vannitsa the secret city within a city.
It's a model American town to train cadres for Americans espionage or takeover.
Russians refuse any word on the vanished men.
...
And the news tonight, exclusive with News of the World, begins with the most fantastic spy story on record, all about the model American town operated by the Russian Soviet espionage system. Two American tourists have uncovered Russia's deepest espionage secret.
The men's names are Harvey C. Bennett of Bath, Maine, age 26, postgraduate student, who has been trying to make up his mind whether to become a teacher of the Russian language or a Foreign Service officer.
The other man is Mark Kaminsky, same age. who was to have started teaching, presumably the Russian language because he knows it well, at Purdue University this fall. On his application to visit Russia, Bennett reported he was going for education: Kaminsky, that he wanted to study and visit relatives.
Now, the exclusive part of the story--and an answer to how these young chaps might have run afoul of suspicious Russian police, could well be the men didn’t even know what was going on.
For years intelligence agents have been hearing about a town within a city in Soviet Russia, in the Ukraine, and I have touched on it before now. The barbed wire and high fence hides a complete model American town and it’s reported to be the city of Vinnitsa. The last word from these men before they got into trouble came from Vinnitsa, the town with the high board fence, and a deep Soviet secret. Bennett wrote Mrs. Bennett that they had had car trouble but would soon cross the border westward. The next word from the men came from other American tourists early in September. Kaminsky was at a border station. He told an American acquaintance that he was in trouble. Since then, nothing. And the Russians won’t say anything except that they have no information and when they got, it they will give it to the American Embassy.
The Russian anxiety to accuse Americans of spying has obviously caught them on a rough international wicket. They may well have two innocent Americans who unwittingly have exposed the Russian plans for the long-distance future to take over the United States. And that would never do.
Let me explain.
The model American city has long been suspected, as we have said, but nothing came to public light about it until a highly respected Swedish Army officer, Maj. Per Lindgren, set himself to the task of separating fact from fiction. He doesn’t tell how he did it. But in an article in the Swedish military journal named “Contact With the Army,” the Major made an exposure that startled all intelligence agencies because it indicated the Russians had plans for taking over major countries of the world. And one of their plans, called the American plan, centered in Vinnitsa.
The Major pieced together various intelligence reports, came up with this statement, “Everything in the town within Vinnitsa is pure American. The bar serves American drinks, the restaurant, American food. The movies are Hollywood made and the stores sell everything from ready made clothes to chewing gum. Fords and Chevrolets drive through the streets. Blue jazz notes blare from the cocktail lounge, mingle with the blare of jukebox bee-bop in the drug store. Ana all the dialects of the United States are spoken by the young Russians who inhabit this town within a town. The order, a hamburger with a coke, is as familiar as it is in Waterloo, Iowa, or McKeesport, Pa.
Major Lindgren reported that the town has 1,000 inhabitants, all in training to know everything American intimately so they may be used for spies or for the cadres who ultimately might take over our country. The courses in Vinnitsa’s classrooms—some of them are 10-year courses. All the students are handpicked Russian university students, with a special mission.
Could it be the boys in the car touring Russia unwittingly stumbled onto the secret of Vinnitsa, or even took pictures, or were suspected of taking pictures. Certainly no Russian can be found who will tell the truth.
And maybe this explains a little conversation in New York between Nikita Khrushchov and NBC’s Joe Michaels, who has served for several years in Russia. Khrushchev was holding forth great length to American reporters in Park Avenue about how free people were in Russia and how Americans could come any time and have the run of the country.
Michaels remembered the reports about the two American tourists. He spoke up. But what about the American tourists who were arrested for taking pictures! Khrushchev turned on Joe Michaels and said, “You are an evil man. I will not answer any more of your questions.”
That’s the story. Back in a moment, with the way the Little Khrushchev of Cuba does business and more News of the World. (Break.)
News of the World with Morgan Beatty, NBC, October 20, 1960
NEWS OF THE WORLD WITH MORGAN BEATTY, NBC, OCTOBER 20, I960
BEATTY. This is Morgan Beatty bringing you News of the World.
Tonight in the headlines:
The big story: The case of Mr. Khrushchev and the two American tourists.
Nikita escapes the charge of preparation for war on his borders— expedient, confiscating the pictures of Mark Kaminsky.
And after they are free to tell the truth he loads the world with his lies and cites Cuba as the star in his crown and the gold traders of Europe help him with his case.
...
Those are the headlines. In a moment the news. (Break.)
And the news tonight is the curious pose of the Soviet dictator, Nikita Khrushchev, before the world.
And the case of two young Americans who returned home after one of the most mysterious spy trials in all history.
Mr. Khrushchev’s pose was the same as ever except that he combined saber rattling and peaceful coexistence by claiming—and the U.S. Navy agrees with him—that the Russians have atomic sub¬marines. Khrushchev said not how many. The Navy says three. We have 20, going on 30.
But here is the stance of the Soviet leader in his homecoming speech. An old stance in new words. First, the Communist countries have unheard of means of exerting influence on the capitalist countries and even of compelling them to disarm.
And point 2. Again disagreeing with his Red Chinese pals. A nuclear war would be unthinkable. Nations will not perish in such an adventurous war. And only adventurers can think that a change in the social system can be achieved by unleashing a war among the states.
Now what can the man mean rattling rockets and preaching against nuclear war at the same time. We must look at the hard fact. The man stands by his demand for a veto in the Security Council of the United Nations, and another and paralyzing veto to prevent the United Nations from intervening in a chaotic situation.
As we say in geometry, we now look for that which was to be proved, Q.E.D.
I submit tonight that a symbol of that proof is the arrival in the United States or two young American tourists by the name of Mark Kaminsky, the Michigan schoolteacher, and his friend, Harvey C. Bennett, a man about to make up his mind to become a Foreign Service officer with the State Department.
We have already told you how these young men were arrested after passing through Vinnitsa, the American model town in the Ukraine. How they admitted they took pictures for a book Kaminsky was writing for an American foundation. The Soviets carefully put them on trial, sentenced Kaminskv to 7 years for spying, then suddenly turned him loose. They reported Bennett had turned state’s evidence them on trial, sentenced Kaminsky to 7 years for spying, then suddenly turned him loose. They reported Bennett had turned state’s evidence and denounced Kaminsky.
Well they arrived home today. Kaminsky denied he was a CIA agent. He admitted he was taking pictures that would have shown the preparations for war on the Soviet borders facing west where the West has openly charged the Soviets keep 75 divisions at the ready. He indicated there are far more soldiers and military installa¬tions in the border zone, than there are civilians and farms and towns. Yes; he took the pictures and Bennett agreed he took the pictures.
Now here’s the Q.E.D. The Soviets held these men long enough and searched their car thoroughly enough to be sure they had not made away with any of their pictures. But did they hold a great spy trial in full view of klieg lights loaded with Western reporters to tell all the details of the evidence? They did not. Neither did they hold the two men and impose on them cruel and unusual punish- ment.
No, you see Mr. Khrushchev was about to pose as a great giver of peace to the world, a man with those upturned clean hands and his obviously pure heart. How could he anord to put two men on the stand before the world who could prove by their testimony, that Mr. Khrushchev was a liar. How could he hold them indefinitely with¬out inviting the charge by the United States, that our Ambassador could not even see these two men who had wandered through the thickets of guns and launching pads and soldiers in uniform. He could not. He took the only way out and turned them loose. They can now tell their story. But they can’t prove it.
Meanwhile he counts on depression or panic. Note the gold buy¬ing in London and confusion—the Congo—and his great star of Latin America to carry his case forward that there’s a new world out there and it’s all his with every man and woman a robot of Com¬munist discipline. Of course he won’t state it that way but well there’s the Cuban story. Back with that and more News of the World. (Break.)

Some noteworthy was the information on the city from the Swedish Major Per Lindgren was otherwise a very reliable source. Major Lindgren (1901-1979) had during World War II served in the Defense Intelligence Division and in recent years the author of several books on espionage and sabotage. As an expert, he assisted Carl Olof Bernardsson when he wrote the classic book Spy police go in (1952) and at the end of his career he wrote together with Bertil Häggman book Industrial Espionage in Sweden and abroad (1975). Overall, he came to write dozens own books in the field. Hägg Lindgren's book Industrial Espionage in Sweden and abroad is available on Google Books. The book is reviewed in including Norrköpings Tidningar ( "When the spy adds puzzle") on 26 November 1975, the Helsingborgs Dagblad December 2, 1975 ( "Overlooked espionage"). "Evening Post has met Sweden's most spy hunter" was published in Malmö newspaper the Evening Post November 30, 1975. Business Economics published in No. 12/1975 review "Warning for industrial spies." |
Lite anmärkningsvärt kom uppgifterna om staden från den svenska majoren Per Lindgren som annars var en mycket pålitlig källa. Major Lindgren (1901-1979) hade under andra världskriget tjänstgjort inom försvarsstabens underrättelseavdelning och på senare år författat åtskilliga böcker om spionage och sabotage. Som sakkunnig bistod han Carl Olof Bernardsson när han skrev den klassiska boken Spionpolisen går på jakt (1952) och i slutet av karriären skrev han tillsammans med Bertil Häggman boken Industrispionage i Sverige och i utlandet (1975). Totalt kom han att författa ett dussintal egna böcker inom ämnesområdet.
Lindgren-Häggmans bok Industrispionage i Sverige och i utlandet finns tillgänglig på Google Books. Boken finns recenserad i bland annat Norrköpings Tidningar (“När spionen lägger pussel”), den 26 november 1975 och i Helsingborgs Dagblad den 2 december 1975 (“Förbisett spionage”). “Kvällsposten har träffat Sveriges mesta spionjägare” publicerades i Malmötidningen Kvällsposten den 30 november 1975. Affärsekonomi publicerade i nr 12/1975 recensionen “Varning för industrispioner”. |

«Давай поженимся» российская программа знакомств, премьера которой состоялась на Первом канале в России 28 июля 2008 года. Она выходит в эфир с понедельника по четверг в 18:45. Я был на «Давай поженимся» в апреле 2016 года.
Это действительно язвительный комментарий о россиянах: кому-то здесь, в Москве, понадобилось 6 лет, чтобы сказать мне, каким плохим я выгляжу в сильно отредактированном видео. Правда в том, что Лариса Гузеева обманывает людей и издевается над ними по национальному телевидению.
Лариса Гузеева злобно издевается над бедными отчаявшимися людьми ради развлечения. «Первый канал» и «Давай поженимся» — мрачное отражение российского общества — того, как русские относятся к незнакомцам и иностранцам.

Let's Get Married (Давай поженимся, Davay Pozhenimsya: literally "Let's Marry") is a Russian dating program that premiered on Channel One Russia on July 28, 2008. It airs Monday to Thursday at 6:45 pm. I was on Let's Get Married in April 2016.
It is a really scathing commentary on Russians, that it took 6 years for someone here in Moscow to tell me how bad the heavily edited video makes me appear. The truth is Larisa Guzeyeva deceives people and mocks them on national television.
Larisa Guzeyeva viciously mocks poor desperate people for entertainment. First Channel and "Let's Get Married" is a dark reflection of Russian society - how Russians treat strangers and foreigners.

В 4:34 начинается массовый лживый монтаж. Я наконец говорю, что я здесь, в России, чтобы получить политическое убежище, которое я подал через 2 месяца на Лубянке.
Лариса Гузеева ради развлечения вязко издевается над бедными отчаявшимися людьми. «Первый канал» и «Давай поженимся» — мрачное отражение российского общества — того, как русские относятся к незнакомцам и иностранцам.
[Larisa Guzeyeva viciously mocks poor desperate people for entertainment. First Channel and "Let's Get Married" is a dark reflection of Russian society - how Russians treat strangers and foreigners.]
С 28 июля по 3 октября 2008 года ведущей передачи была актриса Дарья Волга[2]. Она так прокомментировала свой уход из передачи:
Я вела программу три месяца, и руководство решило резко изменить формат, сделать его более скандальным. Несколько раз я отказалась озвучивать те вещи, которые от меня требовали редакторы. Например, в программу пришла женщина лет 55, которая хотела встретить мужчину. В молодости она сделала два аборта, после которых не смогла стать матерью. Редактор в наушник говорит: «Спроси её: как вы себя чувствуете после того, как убили двоих своих детей?!». Я не стала это повторять. Как могу я, молодая, здоровая, успешная, замужняя женщина, давать наотмашь по морде человеку, которому и так в жизни пришлось несладко? Лариса Гузеева может. Она более зрелая, опытная, жёсткая. Я не могу смотреть «Давай поженимся!» в нынешнем варианте

At 4:34 the massive deceitful editing begins. I finally say I am here in Russia to receive political asylum, which I applied for 2 months later at Lubyanka.
Larisa Guzeyeva viciously mocks poor desperate people for entertainment. First Channel and "Let's Get Married" is a dark reflection of Russian society - how Russians treat strangers and foreigners.
Darya Volga who started the program stated:
"I led three months of the program, and then the management decided to drastically change the format to make it more outrageous. Several times I refused to articulate those things that I was asked to do by the editors. For example, a woman of 55 came onto the program, who wanted to meet the man. In her youth she had had two abortions, after which could not become a mother, in earphone editor says: "Ask her how she feels after killing two of her children?" I did not repeat it. How can I, a young, healthy, successful, married woman, blast a woman who already has had a hard life? Howevever Larisa Guzeeva can; she is more mature, experienced and tough. I find it impossible to watch "Let's Get Married!" in its current version where the hosts try to destroy their heroines..."
Timeline

Pressured not to mention political asylum before the show
I had planned to announce in the first 30 seconds of Let's Get Married that I was seeking political asylum, what I called a "hook". Although I didn't tell anyone what I wanted to say onset, during two different English lessons, two women from two different companies fervently encouraged me not to do this. |
Walking off the set stating I want political asylum
I secretly recorded the entire show unedited. At Youtube video minute https://youtu.be/nUkosHtTHao?t=1h23m46s 1:23:46] I say that I am here for political asylum.' As I was trying to walk off the set of "Let's Get Married", and before Larissa came back to accost me, I kept repeating in English that I wanted political asylum., which was recorded on camera. My translator Asad translated what I said. |
Threat of legal action against Channel One
Modified "Let's Get Married" contract: |
---|
On April 15, 2016 with the help of my Russian law partner Andrey Kostin, I threatened legal action with Channel One because I did not know what I signed. My attorney helped draft in Russian a subsection that I wanted 30 seconds recorded, which they could choose to discard or not discard. That 30 seconds was going to be me asking for political asylum. I wanted to add a clause:
Which Andrey translated into Russian:
I then sent this to the director, Darya Beletskikh (Дарья Белецких). |
After I sent in the modified contract, Let's Get Married decided to go ahead with the show anyway, ignoring my request.
Why I walked out

Have you heard the term "vote with one's feet"? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vote-with-your-feet vote with your feet- Cambridge Dictionary] Russia is a country reeling with extreme poverty. Women are hurt most of all. In my short nine months I have lived here: I saw first hand how alcoholism is rampant in rural Russia among men, with women bearing the brunt of this debilitating disease. I saw first hand at Dialog, Executive Language Center, a Moscow English School, how women are regularly screamed at and put up with all manner of abuse. On websites like "Wamba.com" Moscow women actively "sponsor" themselves. This means that if you are a woman looking for a "sponsor", you are a woman who will give sex to a man if they support your financially. Prostitution is rampant, with websites like [link removed] openly selling sex for as little as 2000 rubles ($31 USD) for an hour. Many women feel they must marry to get out of terrible poverty. Shows like "Lets Get Married" take people's misery and make it entertainment. I saw the desperation in Evgenia's eyes (contestant two) and it broke my heart. It was the look of desperation and anger that my own ex-wife had when I met her on a marshrutka in 2001. My ex-wife, an ethnic Russian, was living on $100 a month working at Lukoil in Odessa Ukraine when I met her on Valentines Day, 2001. She would steal money from her rich customers to survive. She was supporting herself, her eight year old son, her mother and grandmother on $100. Her son was living in rural Ukraine, a house with no hot water, no telephone, and an outhouse. On Let's Get Married that day the host Larissa and the other three women hosts showed their misery in their faces when the camera was not pointed on them. Larissa was habitually kneading two pieces of facial tissue in both hands, extremely stressed. Darya, the young director who interviewed me was a basket case that day. As these poor three women contestants bore their soul and deepest secrets to a national audience, I noticed two men above the crowd in the shadows, watching the entire heart wrenching spectacle. They were the two people calling the shots, they were the two men who were being enriched by other people's misery. My entire life has been devoted to helping others. When I was Mormon I was a missionary for the church from 1992-1994. From 2000-2004 I was a United States Peace Corps volunteer helping build orphanages with the American embassy in Odessa, Ukraine. I became an attorney to help others- to fight for the poor. I earned a masters degree in International Relations to to be a voice for the voiceless that America murders. I married my now ex-wife out of love in 2002, but I also couldn't bear to abandon her and her family in the poverty of Ukraine. I came here to help Russians, to build a community. To help build Russia. To help stop the Russian "brain drain" to Russia's enemies who want to destroy this beautiful country. I am here to proclaim that America, behind the propaganda all Russians watch on television, is an evil, miserable and violent country. Behind many American's fake bright smiles is a deep loneliness. I didn't come to beautiful Russia to help a television show make comedy of people's misery. So I walked out of the show. I voted with my feet. It was the brave decision. It was the right decision. |

Сегодня вы для меня такой жених как миссионер, у нас много женщин которые нуждаются в мужчинах, а на всех российских не хватает, поэтому мы будем... | |
-ну и в Америке тоже на всех не хватает, на всех несчастных домов не хватит... | |
-А он не собирается в Америку, он в Россию собирается, поэтому, значит женщин у нас много нуждающихся, и в мужчине и в мужской поддержке, и особо даже не хотят там деньги, не деньги и родит вам, осчастливьте сегодня хотя бы одну, я только за буду. | [10:xx] |

hello can I just leave now please translator for me and you don’t need me
[applause]
I’m Larisa Guzeeva this is let’s get married. good evening brides today Oksana, Evgeniya and Varvara, it’s a pity for us Travis. deliver a release 43 years after a divorce from his wife, he went on 65 dates, but already at 35 I realized that he would only marry a Russian woman.
Travis is a lawyer who also gives private English lessons, he is proud of the fact that he won a case against a large American bank, he dreams of visiting in Siberia and see the process of domestication, whether he warns us that his chosen one must definitely find a common language with his dog, Travis will not pay attention to the careerist, with a short haircut and a big nose, marry a kind girl with expressive eyes who loves animal children and is not afraid to show his character bark in Russian with Russian dogs.
I understand how, but how can she and your American dog find a common language? She should howl like that in an American way or that she can find a common language. I’m not an Andy stand, and to be honest, he’s also the next question, where did this come from? an interesting young man greeted you from me as he smiles a very open smile kind look you speak Russian well I am from China Hawaiian from 10 to and who taught you you had a Russian wife and I live audio saand I have an ex-wife. then you should speak a little bit onSurzhik not quite Russian so a little bit Odessa w you see a little bit should so American and Odessa mental what kind eyes he has, an open,pure smile and the most important thing is that he seems to have already been burned by a person and where did you meet your wife me minibus me. You pestered a Russian Odessa woman, yes you say, I’m from America,hello bla bla bla and you got into an affair with her ramada ahoshe was beautiful, yes I’m very handsome, she already had children, she was unhappily married, as I understand it, and you married her out of pity and they took her to America.
so I feel the same humiliation in America when I try to speak English, the Americans look at me very carefully and try to understand, too, so muda,very nice, Sonya, nice, you can see that he is shy to achieve you took her to America before you married and happily lived until not very much nowdrain 10 10 years not very happy number why and I found it she found another man and iwcand you are also so kind and a little bit such an American you took her a house and gave her a house, well, where should she go that they didn’t have any children in common with you?tornanother for me,get acquainted on the cheeks and you didn’t understand this and now you live for yourself and why did she find another man, how could she wai that you are not good but fell in love with her,she loved him until she often said that life is worse than poison la laI for you, I’ll tell you about the couple, she cheated on you with them, you nobly left the house for her, and where did they go from teaching the roses, when they start pestering you, what do you have there in America?
it seems that he is kind and yes and knows how to laugh at himself and you and her son were on good terms I have me very good them with a very bad promise menimsen why because I want it’s not my son it’s mine it’s my ex 7 children do you want more of your own children if I smell a Russian and a woman is a very new king of the exo century I am a woman and I than my 5I want a daughter and now she is a good age 43years old and where will you live in Russia or in America I want to live still then I love you very much I’m great I am very impressed by him tha the wants to have a daughter, I would also really like to have a daughter Travis, it’s a pity that your wife is not with you now oh yes, very verysorry,I’m here because I want other women, but now I have to be more careful, that’s also she has a great house,no, yes, I know that you are from a Mormon family,yes, you have a lot to convert me, I become what and take and they are all connected with crime, I love bad boys,but I think who he looks like at the auction, Travis Larisa changed her topic.
Now I’m translating your topic regarding material things: in Moscow you rent an apartment, I think that you write books inexpensively, but you don’t get money from them because money doesn’t buy you happiness, you do charity work, you help children’s and orphanages, which is commendable, but it’s not clear why in place with what kind of salary in principle I think that all the viewers our address which here already in principle understand what kind of material wealth but today and I always say at every program that I am for a domestic producer of nothing to introduce our gene pool somewhere there and help but regarding you today I I’ll be soft,why are you for me today, how are they such a missionary,we have a lot of women who need men, she’s missing all the Russian men,so we’ll be, well, in America,too, that means for all the unfortunate people, their houses are on fire in America, he was in Russia, so he’s going.
This means that we have a lot of women in need of both a man and male support and they don’t even really want money there, it’s not money and will give birth to you, so make at least one happy today, I’ll just forget that the children were not raised that way and were not matured, this is also an indicator of what really the relationship was not serious enough, the course every woman will expand in Russia, I want why ask him like that, and you don’t see what we have here and in our native language, it’s difficult to talk about this topic, let alone the word sex, an international word for youyou see, she’s shy now she usually asks okay, okay sosex sex he should our tradition study on traditionally but the trailer I know the chapters told without a missionary arrived before a foreigner that is, it turns out the bottom and 13 years communicated European culture, you can say that the bill of a slave of the European Western Western nothing, let's get acquainted with girls already I want to wait for Alan Vasilisa wrinkle will say sushi with us he doesn't understand now he's going crazy with the astrologer with his simple words Kant but here he will tell us about Nehru with cancer it's Venus with cancer you're hurting this is the only man and man in moderately active, moderately sociable, and I think that if I could speak Russian easily, I would communicate verbosely, I would definitely talk over us,but since today our heroines may have a language barrier due to the fact that someone does not know English, I have prepared such an international test this tube of toothpaste I don’t see it with my own eyes, but in fact it’s all over the world,not only in Russia but also in America, they joke about the nature of how it turns out of tubes of toothpastes here are entries how to save without knowing the notes that I can either from a person into a tube to drive just a certain gift of what we are squeezing out is not enough, it’s just that you really need to evaluate two parameters, does the person screw the cap on the toothpaste or not, what’s wrong with it, it’s just anest of a woman of pears, he’s an international [ __ ] or he’s tall as hell,says your private signs, but I’ll tell you, but you’re right you don’t twist it,close it and your wives then so and the bones of it and such days when you start and in August thegrain yes I’ll now tell you how Travis treats toothpaste this will tell a lot about the character I have every time the power of the horoscope personally listening to this is the twin moon and sun in Aries,such men first shout loudly for 5 minutes asking where and who took it and their toothpaste then finds it, but I don’t know, in a basket with dirty laundry, for example,from the authorities and flattens it out, they throw it out,they go for a new one, it’s always like this, let alone every morning but in general, prone to possible outbursts of anger,not always orderly, I can say that the commander does not like women with his nose, the truth is that he will not command either, this is a very familiar character to me when I minus the first outburst, then everything is fine,everything is in order, they are covering up, I found out,it seems to you that you will get together like a groove, man, man,yes yes normal hours I'll look at clean shoes alcohol this woman is paying attention you know yes I'm on shoes find get acquainted first place while you get up and the album

raystravis we Russians havecatchphrases that we very oftenuse in our speechesbut for foreigners they unfortunatelyare incomprehensible if it is difficult to translate intoRussian language thefirst such expression is that the tongue of the bast does notknit, what do you think this means, are you crazy or something,even Russian men have gone crazy for you, that when aman is veryintoxicated with alcohol, hecannot speak at all, that’s why they talk about him, hethe tongue of the bast is not knitted forcenturies to remove dooms at the base yousee how great they turn outvery eyes don’t like it very much give it to hisparents I think he listened to her didn’tunderstand anything he wandered into these magical chaptersalready and there is also this expressionhorror how good you see how goodand this means how wonderful andgood and there is anothertradition we have to sit down on the pathin ancient times people believed in brownies andwhen we weren’t going on a long journeythey always sat down on the pathlet’s sit down with you too andsend out the vocals of the tour yes they were afraid to takethe brownie away from their at home, so in thisway they deceived him, that is, theysat down on the path in modernsociety they sit down on the path tothink if I took everything with me,if I forgot anything at home, well,let's go, thank you, we'll go to her, even everything will befine after

good opportunityto find a Russian wife, the only thingthat confuses me is that this isthe range of distances until you startcorresponding, as if all this would notgo away, what confuses me is the husband of a military man,that Oksana Nikolay has no yard, that Oksana has asix-year-old son, that Oksana doesn’t know the language at all, even at the level ofmy principle it would be If you want, you canlearn and it won’t be such anobstacle, especially if you have your ownabilities, well, now according to the stars,how long have we started the program, there wassuch a language hitch for him, I didn’t understand whether it made sense to give my usualrecommendations, I didn’t mention that fromthe rails there is an opportunity for the next two year to build a relationship,but out of these two years, 1 yearit will not develop completely perfectlyand it will help to smooth out some rough edgesto get around some moments ofdissatisfaction if thewoman is one of your friends, this is either awoman already from your company or agirl maybe some kind of then fromtoday's brides but whom shecan make friends with you, I see the problem hereOksana really, without language, cannotestablish those very friendly relationships that Travis needs and despite the fact that by her type this girl suits you, but language can become a really serious barrier,get acquainted with second

They said that she likes to grow flowers and by the way they say that if a girl takes good care for flowers, it means she’s good, they didn’t beat the material life, why did it take you 13 years to understand the man who is next to you is not loved and you will never fall in love with him?
whom you meet I will help even you once said gives us some experience up to 12 years with an unloved one and the thing is that at first we had a feeling when I met him I had just arrived in Moscow. and for me it was my first acquaintance with a man and also for foreigners it was you are a Frenchman we'll talk in French lovers the first man this is the first this is not a lover who is this common-law husband.
It seems to me that in mineral externals they are different. It seems to me that such a calmer, quiet, kind girl would be more suitable for him, but outwardly it seems to me that she is his type very similar, it was a male cohabitant with whom you had an open relationship, you could at the same time look for the great love of another man, so your girlfriends agreed and he was also free from obligations,it was already after a while because when we met him everything was fine everything wonderful, but when we went on vacation with him and on vacation, I just now you heard that it’s your dad, it’s your dad.something else they gave birth to when I was 13 and when I was 25 years old, yes, I didn’t plan it, I thought I needed to live a little longer, and then when he himself began to suggest that let’s get married, let’s definitely want a daughter too, well, somehow I didn’t want to marry my dad and I didn’t want to, I lost my best young years, in the end I couldn’t,but during the time of giving birth to a child,well, maybe they didn’t really want to, so everything could be why you needed him, I understand, and they needed you, why did he love you so much, yes he I didn’t hide the morning I loved you yes yes you broke up with them finally and finally well okay now let’s see how Travis knows English.
I don’t know English but I have a lot of experience 13 years of communication I didn’t ideally learn French but I learned how to translate from Russian into Russian that is it not certain forms canal ready be felt and understood inside, in fact, even French doesn’t look like Lenskand what language is it and I studied Italian for Russian and therefore, well,well, well, English is at the level of ordering in a restaurant like about and for us to fornicate absolutely everyday absolutely everyday level therefore, that is, it wasn’t, well, some kind of thing, but it happened before leaving, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the thread sings so much,yes, what is it talking about, they say, they are trying to understand, there is nothing, the main practice is a large family of three children and the matter will already cool down to listen and understand this they don’t say the road to you 39 years old lovely wants a daughter for you it’s not too late no no it’s not too late I’m very even if I give you nude how they will give out a year of dust to rub each other there to get married and so on at 40 it says I’m here I have a gynecologist client an article of new interesting information therefore,taking away the words, I will try, by the way,the period I wrote a dissertation, what is the best age for children to bear children? This is 2428if a woman gives birth within 30 to 40,she has problems after even about 50,cancer, and so on, and if she gives birth after 40, that is the problem of the child Well,and she’s trying to catch up with her story and it’s not happening, why now dissertations a real so different, why now tointimidate the heroine, come out and dissuade her from having children, in principle, she doesn’t understand that not everyone, but I want to say thatwomen who groan for a long time do not get pregnant and don’t have children at all, also different, got sick, this is the aunt who wrote from the heart, she’s just an idiot and a fool because basically a woman gives birth from 30 to 40,it’s that they are all enslaved, well,stop, rose, I don’t even want to listen to his strength, but we giving birth to Roma late, I’ll express why and I took the first one at 32 years old,how can you even pass off any of your conclusions as the truth in the first instance, why are impressionable people who then live with it and they didn’t have any predisposition, they drive themselves into this problem of that According toa ll gynecological studies, giving birth is useful,no one is saying that you need to do it uncontrollably or wait until 50, but in general, women who give birth even in adulthood have fewer problems than those who generally do not know, so I don’t know, I think that the address to get one is on your mantacommon child that they are in general this age category, in principle optimal yes yes they suit each other very much you like Travis yes very kind lived and very face the eyes of the other devour neither stake nor yard rented apartment in Moscow I rent my own apartment in the Rostov region why rent together all more economically will be found shorter to communicate with yes I'm very sorry eating tried very hard brought although oh what a beautiful cake you have two bonuses lefta date alone squeak years in the closet skeleton skeleton on let's find out which skeleton now it turns out that it's not really 15children she doesn't have skeletons in closet, it seems to me that it is impossible for a person not to have any skeleton,every person has one anyway, and surprise of course let's show.

Помимо традиционных для вузов способах проведения международных конференций, Юридический институт РУТ применяет современные средства международного научного общения. Впервые в ЮИ кафедрой «Общественные науки и профессиональная коммуникация» была организована и проведена международная онлайн-конференция «Транспорт: история и право». Организатор и модератор мероприятия – кандидат филологических наук, доцент Владислав Борисович Ширшиков. В конференции приняли участие директор ЮИ МИИТ Николай Алексеевич Духно, юрист по международному праву Трэвис Ли Бейли из США (дистантно).
После презентаций студентам ЮИ была предоставлена возможность задать вопросы мистеру Бэйли. Вопросы российских студентов касались меж дународного права в области транспорта и американской юридической практики. В завершении в непринужденной обстановке будущие юристы обсудили ряд злободневных топиков. Несомненно, такой формат мероприятий мотивирует студентов на обучение и способствует развитию профессиональных и личностных компетенций. Владислав ШИРШИКОВ, доцент, кандидат филологических наук, ЮИ |

"As you look at your life, past and present, how does the "power of yet" fit in? Several quotes from several prominent people come to mind when I think of the "power of yet". I do not subscribe to the "great man" theory of history - that if you removed one man then that timeline of history would never happen. Instead I subscribe to the notion of Margaret Mead, famous anthropologist of Samoan who came to prominence in the last century, quote, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." What "power song" helps you push through that block wall in your path?"Several songs come immediately mind giving me the strength to move on:* John Lenin's Imagine (instrumental)* Who would Jesus Bomb?* HBO "House of Cards" theme song on 11 minute loop.* Terminator 3 classical background music, no lyrics, (approx 30 minutes) on loop. The end of the movies as the atomic bombs obliterate the earth.

What did you discover about yourself during this past week?I would prefer not to share anymore personal information. Calling me a spy, is like me calling your church a "cult". That said it was reinforced once again, especially among Mormons (whose religion foundation is based completely on feelings) and those in the Intermountain West who live among this sect that, in the words of Maya Angelo, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, butpeople will never forget how you made them feel.” Do you have a growth mindset? If not, how can you develop one? Yes. I do. I posit that I have risked more for my deeply held beliefs that the United States is the most violent country on the Earth, than any of your students have in any year of school pursuing their passions in life. How many students can say they have literally almost died several times for what they believe in?How does understanding one's self make one a better leader? Sigh. I have studied mindfulness in depth for years approximately 5 to 6 years ago. I have studied many leadership books. Knowing ones self is the key to success. I am cognizant of my strengths and weaknesses deeply.When it comes to personal reflection, which form do you think is best for you (journaling, talking with a friend, quiet time for reflection)? For this upcoming week, try using a different form of reflection and see what happens.Talking with others. I am a social butterfly. I will use quiet time for reflection more and meditate more in the bathtub.

Copyright
- Copyrigh Term Extension Act, also known as the Sonny Bono Act [Cher's dead husband], or (derisively) the Mickey Mouse Protection Act, effectively "froze" the advancement date of the public domain in the United States for works covered by the older fixed term copyright rules.
The 1998 Act extended these terms to life of the author plus 70 years and for works of corporate authorship to 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever end is earlier. Copyright protection for works published before January 1, 1978, was increased by 20 years to a total of 95 years from their publication date.
Under this Act, works made in 1923 or afterwards that were still protected by copyright in 1998 would not enter the public domain until January 1, 2019 or later. Mickey Mouse specifically, having first appeared in 1928, will be in a public domain work in 2024 or afterward (depending on the date of the product).

«Давай поженимся» российская программа знакомств, премьера которой состоялась на Первом канале в России 28 июля 2008 года. Она выходит в эфир с понедельника по четверг в 18:45. Я был на «Давай поженимся» в апреле 2016 года.
Это действительно язвительный комментарий о россиянах: кому-то здесь, в Москве, понадобилось 6 лет, чтобы сказать мне, каким плохим я выгляжу в сильно отредактированном видео. Правда в том, что Лариса Гузеева обманывает людей и издевается над ними по национальному телевидению.
Лариса Гузеева злобно издевается над бедными отчаявшимися людьми ради развлечения. «Первый канал» и «Давай поженимся» — мрачное отражение российского общества — того, как русские относятся к незнакомцам и иностранцам.

Let's Get Married (Давай поженимся, Davay Pozhenimsya: literally "Let's Marry") is a Russian dating program that premiered on Channel One Russia on July 28, 2008. It airs Monday to Thursday at 6:45 pm. I was on Let's Get Married in April 2016.
It is a really scathing commentary on Russians, that it took 6 years for someone here in Moscow to tell me how bad the heavily edited video makes me appear. The truth is Larisa Guzeyeva deceives people and mocks them on national television.
Larisa Guzeyeva viciously mocks poor desperate people for entertainment. First Channel and "Let's Get Married" is a dark reflection of Russian society - how Russians treat strangers and foreigners.

В 4:34 начинается массовый лживый монтаж. Я наконец говорю, что я здесь, в России, чтобы получить политическое убежище, которое я подал через 2 месяца на Лубянке.
Лариса Гузеева ради развлечения вязко издевается над бедными отчаявшимися людьми. «Первый канал» и «Давай поженимся» — мрачное отражение российского общества — того, как русские относятся к незнакомцам и иностранцам.
[Larisa Guzeyeva viciously mocks poor desperate people for entertainment. First Channel and "Let's Get Married" is a dark reflection of Russian society - how Russians treat strangers and foreigners.]
С 28 июля по 3 октября 2008 года ведущей передачи была актриса Дарья Волга[2]. Она так прокомментировала свой уход из передачи:
Я вела программу три месяца, и руководство решило резко изменить формат, сделать его более скандальным. Несколько раз я отказалась озвучивать те вещи, которые от меня требовали редакторы. Например, в программу пришла женщина лет 55, которая хотела встретить мужчину. В молодости она сделала два аборта, после которых не смогла стать матерью. Редактор в наушник говорит: «Спроси её: как вы себя чувствуете после того, как убили двоих своих детей?!». Я не стала это повторять. Как могу я, молодая, здоровая, успешная, замужняя женщина, давать наотмашь по морде человеку, которому и так в жизни пришлось несладко? Лариса Гузеева может. Она более зрелая, опытная, жёсткая. Я не могу смотреть «Давай поженимся!» в нынешнем варианте

At 4:34 the massive deceitful editing begins. I finally say I am here in Russia to receive political asylum, which I applied for 2 months later at Lubyanka.
Larisa Guzeyeva viciously mocks poor desperate people for entertainment. First Channel and "Let's Get Married" is a dark reflection of Russian society - how Russians treat strangers and foreigners.
Darya Volga who started the program stated:
"I led three months of the program, and then the management decided to drastically change the format to make it more outrageous. Several times I refused to articulate those things that I was asked to do by the editors. For example, a woman of 55 came onto the program, who wanted to meet the man. In her youth she had had two abortions, after which could not become a mother, in earphone editor says: "Ask her how she feels after killing two of her children?" I did not repeat it. How can I, a young, healthy, successful, married woman, blast a woman who already has had a hard life? Howevever Larisa Guzeeva can; she is more mature, experienced and tough. I find it impossible to watch "Let's Get Married!" in its current version where the hosts try to destroy their heroines..."
Timeline

Pressured not to mention political asylum before the show
I had planned to announce in the first 30 seconds of Let's Get Married that I was seeking political asylum, what I called a "hook". Although I didn't tell anyone what I wanted to say onset, during two different English lessons, two women from two different companies fervently encouraged me not to do this. |
Walking off the set stating I want political asylum
I secretly recorded the entire show unedited. At Youtube video minute https://youtu.be/nUkosHtTHao?t=1h23m46s 1:23:46] I say that I am here for political asylum.' As I was trying to walk off the set of "Let's Get Married", and before Larissa came back to accost me, I kept repeating in English that I wanted political asylum., which was recorded on camera. My translator Asad translated what I said. |
Threat of legal action against Channel One
Modified "Let's Get Married" contract: |
---|
On April 15, 2016 with the help of my Russian law partner Andrey Kostin, I threatened legal action with Channel One because I did not know what I signed. My attorney helped draft in Russian a subsection that I wanted 30 seconds recorded, which they could choose to discard or not discard. That 30 seconds was going to be me asking for political asylum. I wanted to add a clause:
Which Andrey translated into Russian:
I then sent this to the director, Darya Beletskikh (Дарья Белецких). |
After I sent in the modified contract, Let's Get Married decided to go ahead with the show anyway, ignoring my request.
Why I walked out

WHY I WALKED OUT. |
---|
Have you heard the term "vote with one's feet"? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vote-with-your-feet vote with your feet- Cambridge Dictionary] Russia is a country reeling with extreme poverty. Women are hurt most of all. In my short nine months I have lived here: I saw first hand how alcoholism is rampant in rural Russia among men, with women bearing the brunt of this debilitating disease. I saw first hand at Dialog, Executive Language Center, a Moscow English School, how women are regularly screamed at and put up with all manner of abuse. On websites like "Wamba.com" Moscow women actively "sponsor" themselves. This means that if you are a woman looking for a "sponsor", you are a woman who will give sex to a man if they support your financially. Prostitution is rampant, with websites like [link removed] openly selling sex for as little as 2000 rubles ($31 USD) for an hour. Many women feel they must marry to get out of terrible poverty. Shows like "Lets Get Married" take people's misery and make it entertainment. I saw the desperation in Evgenia's eyes (contestant two) and it broke my heart. It was the look of desperation and anger that my own ex-wife had when I met her on a marshrutka in 2001. My ex-wife, an ethnic Russian, was living on $100 a month working at Lukoil in Odessa Ukraine when I met her on Valentines Day, 2001. She would steal money from her rich customers to survive. She was supporting herself, her eight year old son, her mother and grandmother on $100. Her son was living in rural Ukraine, a house with no hot water, no telephone, and an outhouse. On Let's Get Married that day the host Larissa and the other three women hosts showed their misery in their faces when the camera was not pointed on them. Larissa was habitually kneading two pieces of facial tissue in both hands, extremely stressed. Darya, the young director who interviewed me was a basket case that day. As these poor three women contestants bore their soul and deepest secrets to a national audience, I noticed two men above the crowd in the shadows, watching the entire heart wrenching spectacle. They were the two people calling the shots, they were the two men who were being enriched by other people's misery. My entire life has been devoted to helping others. When I was Mormon I was a missionary for the church from 1992-1994. From 2000-2004 I was a United States Peace Corps volunteer helping build orphanages with the American embassy in Odessa, Ukraine. I became an attorney to help others- to fight for the poor. I earned a masters degree in International Relations to to be a voice for the voiceless that America murders. I married my now ex-wife out of love in 2002, but I also couldn't bear to abandon her and her family in the poverty of Ukraine. I came here to help Russians, to build a community. To help build Russia. To help stop the Russian "brain drain" to Russia's enemies who want to destroy this beautiful country. I am here to proclaim that America, behind the propaganda all Russians watch on television, is an evil, miserable and violent country. Behind many American's fake bright smiles is a deep loneliness. I didn't come to beautiful Russia to help a television show make comedy of people's misery. So I walked out of the show. I voted with my feet. It was the brave decision. It was the right decision. |

Сегодня вы для меня такой жених как миссионер, у нас много женщин которые нуждаются в мужчинах, а на всех российских не хватает, поэтому мы будем... | |
-ну и в Америке тоже на всех не хватает, на всех несчастных домов не хватит... | |
-А он не собирается в Америку, он в Россию собирается, поэтому, значит женщин у нас много нуждающихся, и в мужчине и в мужской поддержке, и особо даже не хотят там деньги, не деньги и родит вам, осчастливьте сегодня хотя бы одну, я только за буду. | [10:xx] |

hello can I just leave now please translator for me and you don’t need me
[applause]
I’m Larisa Guzeeva this is let’s get married. good evening brides today Oksana, Evgeniya and Varvara, it’s a pity for us Travis. deliver a release 43 years after a divorce from his wife, he went on 65 dates, but already at 35 I realized that he would only marry a Russian woman.
Travis is a lawyer who also gives private English lessons, he is proud of the fact that he won a case against a large American bank, he dreams of visiting in Siberia and see the process of domestication, whether he warns us that his chosen one must definitely find a common language with his dog, Travis will not pay attention to the careerist, with a short haircut and a big nose, marry a kind girl with expressive eyes who loves animal children and is not afraid to show his character bark in Russian with Russian dogs.
I understand how, but how can she and your American dog find a common language? She should howl like that in an American way or that she can find a common language. I’m not an Andy stand, and to be honest, he’s also the next question, where did this come from? an interesting young man greeted you from me as he smiles a very open smile kind look you speak Russian well I am from China Hawaiian from 10 to and who taught you you had a Russian wife and I live audio saand I have an ex-wife. then you should speak a little bit onSurzhik not quite Russian so a little bit Odessa w you see a little bit should so American and Odessa mental what kind eyes he has, an open,pure smile and the most important thing is that he seems to have already been burned by a person and where did you meet your wife me minibus me. You pestered a Russian Odessa woman, yes you say, I’m from America,hello bla bla bla and you got into an affair with her ramada ahoshe was beautiful, yes I’m very handsome, she already had children, she was unhappily married, as I understand it, and you married her out of pity and they took her to America.
so I feel the same humiliation in America when I try to speak English, the Americans look at me very carefully and try to understand, too, so muda,very nice, Sonya, nice, you can see that he is shy to achieve you took her to America before you married and happily lived until not very much nowdrain 10 10 years not very happy number why and I found it she found another man and iwcand you are also so kind and a little bit such an American you took her a house and gave her a house, well, where should she go that they didn’t have any children in common with you?tornanother for me,get acquainted on the cheeks and you didn’t understand this and now you live for yourself and why did she find another man, how could she wai that you are not good but fell in love with her,she loved him until she often said that life is worse than poison la laI for you, I’ll tell you about the couple, she cheated on you with them, you nobly left the house for her, and where did they go from teaching the roses, when they start pestering you, what do you have there in America?
it seems that he is kind and yes and knows how to laugh at himself and you and her son were on good terms I have me very good them with a very bad promise menimsen why because I want it’s not my son it’s mine it’s my ex 7 children do you want more of your own children if I smell a Russian and a woman is a very new king of the exo century I am a woman and I than my 5I want a daughter and now she is a good age 43years old and where will you live in Russia or in America I want to live still then I love you very much I’m great I am very impressed by him tha the wants to have a daughter, I would also really like to have a daughter Travis, it’s a pity that your wife is not with you now oh yes, very verysorry,I’m here because I want other women, but now I have to be more careful, that’s also she has a great house,no, yes, I know that you are from a Mormon family,yes, you have a lot to convert me, I become what and take and they are all connected with crime, I love bad boys,but I think who he looks like at the auction, Travis Larisa changed her topic.
Now I’m translating your topic regarding material things: in Moscow you rent an apartment, I think that you write books inexpensively, but you don’t get money from them because money doesn’t buy you happiness, you do charity work, you help children’s and orphanages, which is commendable, but it’s not clear why in place with what kind of salary in principle I think that all the viewers our address which here already in principle understand what kind of material wealth but today and I always say at every program that I am for a domestic producer of nothing to introduce our gene pool somewhere there and help but regarding you today I I’ll be soft,why are you for me today, how are they such a missionary,we have a lot of women who need men, she’s missing all the Russian men,so we’ll be, well, in America,too, that means for all the unfortunate people, their houses are on fire in America, he was in Russia, so he’s going.
This means that we have a lot of women in need of both a man and male support and they don’t even really want money there, it’s not money and will give birth to you, so make at least one happy today, I’ll just forget that the children were not raised that way and were not matured, this is also an indicator of what really the relationship was not serious enough, the course every woman will expand in Russia, I want why ask him like that, and you don’t see what we have here and in our native language, it’s difficult to talk about this topic, let alone the word sex, an international word for youyou see, she’s shy now she usually asks okay, okay sosex sex he should our tradition study on traditionally but the trailer I know the chapters told without a missionary arrived before a foreigner that is, it turns out the bottom and 13 years communicated European culture, you can say that the bill of a slave of the European Western Western nothing, let's get acquainted with girls already I want to wait for Alan Vasilisa wrinkle will say sushi with us he doesn't understand now he's going crazy with the astrologer with his simple words Kant but here he will tell us about Nehru with cancer it's Venus with cancer you're hurting this is the only man and man in moderately active, moderately sociable, and I think that if I could speak Russian easily, I would communicate verbosely, I would definitely talk over us,but since today our heroines may have a language barrier due to the fact that someone does not know English, I have prepared such an international test this tube of toothpaste I don’t see it with my own eyes, but in fact it’s all over the world,not only in Russia but also in America, they joke about the nature of how it turns out of tubes of toothpastes here are entries how to save without knowing the notes that I can either from a person into a tube to drive just a certain gift of what we are squeezing out is not enough, it’s just that you really need to evaluate two parameters, does the person screw the cap on the toothpaste or not, what’s wrong with it, it’s just anest of a woman of pears, he’s an international [ __ ] or he’s tall as hell,says your private signs, but I’ll tell you, but you’re right you don’t twist it,close it and your wives then so and the bones of it and such days when you start and in August thegrain yes I’ll now tell you how Travis treats toothpaste this will tell a lot about the character I have every time the power of the horoscope personally listening to this is the twin moon and sun in Aries,such men first shout loudly for 5 minutes asking where and who took it and their toothpaste then finds it, but I don’t know, in a basket with dirty laundry, for example,from the authorities and flattens it out, they throw it out,they go for a new one, it’s always like this, let alone every morning but in general, prone to possible outbursts of anger,not always orderly, I can say that the commander does not like women with his nose, the truth is that he will not command either, this is a very familiar character to me when I minus the first outburst, then everything is fine,everything is in order, they are covering up, I found out,it seems to you that you will get together like a groove, man, man,yes yes normal hours I'll look at clean shoes alcohol this woman is paying attention you know yes I'm on shoes find get acquainted first place while you get up and the album

good opportunityto find a Russian wife, the only thingthat confuses me is that this isthe range of distances until you startcorresponding, as if all this would notgo away, what confuses me is the husband of a military man,that Oksana Nikolay has no yard, that Oksana has asix-year-old son, that Oksana doesn’t know the language at all, even at the level ofmy principle it would be If you want, you canlearn and it won’t be such anobstacle, especially if you have your ownabilities, well, now according to the stars,how long have we started the program, there wassuch a language hitch for him, I didn’t understand whether it made sense to give my usualrecommendations, I didn’t mention that fromthe rails there is an opportunity for the next two year to build a relationship,but out of these two years, 1 yearit will not develop completely perfectlyand it will help to smooth out some rough edgesto get around some moments ofdissatisfaction if thewoman is one of your friends, this is either awoman already from your company or agirl maybe some kind of then fromtoday's brides but whom shecan make friends with you, I see the problem hereOksana really, without language, cannotestablish those

EVGINA
travis hello, I came to you and I hope not just for our acquaintance but also for further communication my name is Evgenia and you have Mengele thank you Sevan thank you

Evgenia 39 years old realtor, dances Russian folkdances, sings karaoke, is engaged in growing flowers and vegetable. swarns that he will have breakfast and the future chosen one will be alone dreams of having a big family. Evgenia lived with a Frenchman for 13 years but fell in love with him and couldn’t hope that Travis would awaken her real feelings.
They said that she likes to grow flowers and by the way they say that if a girl takes good care for flowers, it means she’s good, they didn’t beat the material life, why did it take you 13 years to understand the man who is next to you is not loved and you will never fall in love with him?
whom you meet I will help even you once said gives us some experience up to 12 years with an unloved one and the thing is that at first we had a feeling when I met him I had just arrived in Moscow. and for me it was my first acquaintance with a man and also for foreigners it was you are a Frenchman we'll talk in French lovers the first man this is the first this is not a lover who is this common-law husband.
It seems to me that in mineral externals they are different. It seems to me that such a calmer, quiet, kind girl would be more suitable for him, but outwardly it seems to me that she is his type very similar, it was a male cohabitant with whom you had an open relationship, you could at the same time look for the great love of another man, so your girlfriends agreed and he was also free from obligations,it was already after a while because when we met him everything was fine everything wonderful, but when we went on vacation with him and on vacation, I just now you heard that it’s your dad, it’s your dad.something else they gave birth to when I was 13 and when I was 25 years old, yes, I didn’t plan it, I thought I needed to live a little longer, and then when he himself began to suggest that let’s get married, let’s definitely want a daughter too, well, somehow I didn’t want to marry my dad and I didn’t want to, I lost my best young years, in the end I couldn’t,but during the time of giving birth to a child,well, maybe they didn’t really want to, so everything could be why you needed him, I understand, and they needed you, why did he love you so much, yes he I didn’t hide the morning I loved you yes yes you broke up with them finally and finally well okay now let’s see how Travis knows English.
I don’t know English but I have a lot of experience 13 years of communication I didn’t ideally learn French but I learned how to translate from Russian into Russian that is it not certain forms canal ready be felt and understood inside, in fact, even French doesn’t look like Lenskand what language is it and I studied Italian for Russian and therefore, well,well, well, English is at the level of ordering in a restaurant like about and for us to fornicate absolutely everyday absolutely everyday level therefore, that is, it wasn’t, well, some kind of thing, but it happened before leaving, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the thread sings so much,yes, what is it talking about, they say, they are trying to understand, there is nothing, the main practice is a large family of three children and the matter will already cool down to listen and understand this they don’t say the road to you 39 years old lovely wants a daughter for you it’s not too late no no it’s not too late I’m very even if I give you nude how they will give out a year of dust to rub each other there to get married and so on at 40 it says I’m here I have a gynecologist client an article of new interesting information therefore,taking away the words, I will try, by the way,the period I wrote a dissertation, what is the best age for children to bear children? This is 2428if a woman gives birth within 30 to 40,she has problems after even about 50,cancer, and so on, and if she gives birth after 40, that is the problem of the child Well,and she’s trying to catch up with her story and it’s not happening, why now dissertations a real so different, why now tointimidate the heroine, come out and dissuade her from having children, in principle, she doesn’t understand that not everyone, but I want to say thatwomen who groan for a long time do not get pregnant and don’t have children at all, also different, got sick, this is the aunt who wrote from the heart, she’s just an idiot and a fool because basically a woman gives birth from 30 to 40,it’s that they are all enslaved, well,stop, rose, I don’t even want to listen to his strength, but we giving birth to Roma late, I’ll express why and I took the first one at 32 years old,how can you even pass off any of your conclusions as the truth in the first instance, why are impressionable people who then live with it and they didn’t have any predisposition, they drive themselves into this problem of that According toa ll gynecological studies, giving birth is useful,no one is saying that you need to do it uncontrollably or wait until 50, but in general, women who give birth even in adulthood have fewer problems than those who generally do not know, so I don’t know, I think that the address to get one is on your mantacommon child that they are in general this age category, in principle optimal yes yes they suit each other very much you like Travis yes very kind lived and very face the eyes of the other devour neither stake nor yard rented apartment in Moscow I rent my own apartment in the Rostov region why rent together all more economically will be found shorter to communicate with yes I'm very sorry eating tried very hard brought although oh what a beautiful cake you have two bonuses lefta date alone squeak years in the closet skeleton skeleton on let's find out which skeleton now it turns out that it's not really 15children she doesn't have skeletons in closet, it seems to me that it is impossible for a person not to have any skeleton,every person has one anyway, and surprise of course let's show.

and that's a great guy, what a bravo the girls are amazing just a friend of an amazing thank you for Jessie bar & wiz come see us almost nothing visible people freely Nastenka but the plus and minus sectors are always good Assad’s eyes also lit up,well, yes, the good ones are crimson, of course, but the fact that she’s had a common life with a foreigner for 13 years,nothing happened,I think that with the second one, it could also happen to him, not a fact, I I think so,but this is just the fact of what this means: it’s better that he was a widow, I mean he died, as they say, but here it’s not difficult, he didn’t even get married, you know, the truth is, well, well.Of course she looked with such an admiring look, I’ll say about him, I didn’t like the man, she fed me very nicely, well, it’s not open that she told everything as it is, she didn’t hang around here, they didn’t soak them, they didn’t stick out, they d idn’t try to some how veil, hide, come up with something,nothing outside of us again, here she is like this dance, her character is very straightforward, someone likes it,someone likes solving puzzles, I think that for travis, like Americans, she has a character like Evgeniy to tell everything honestly and directly was the Frenchman did not like, waited for them to appear real ones for life, this is how I liked my life, you didn’t like the bride very openly to immediately set off and takes from the master, it’s a pity zaur one exchange, probably now only in your hands I saw not only 13 years of meaningless relationships that led nowhere, she understood it, I saw 13 years of unlearned language, for example, inability to communicate, that is, she is very poorly aware of time, reality and time as a flow, there are such people, this is precisely the moon in Pisces when people feel very poorly that time is flashing, that it is flowing, no time in the world flows faster than women from32 to 39 they say, well, that is, this is exactly the time these five seven years fly by quickly, you are barely over 30 and then bam you are already under forty and there or over 40,unfortunately this time also flashed quickly for her also, due to hercharacter,there is still one bride to go through

Everyone told me to fake marry, and I could have choose one of the three women on the show, I especially liked Oxana. Getting married is such an important decision and it should be for love.

This program just total disgrace on russian culture and the way they show how much they hate Americans and feel they r superior specifically people who are residents of Moscow.Whole show in Russian language they criticized and put down nice gentlemen and educated man with law degree.If he understood even.half of what they said he would get up and leave in first 5 minutes of show.The hosts of show acted no worse then old uneducated lady from bazar.He did right thing by leaving.The idea to save Russia going to fail because entire country corrupted and nobody cant help them.

Hello!
Living in US for the last 4 years taught me that American people are far better than Russians: they are more tolerant, forgiving, positive, open-minded and free-spirited. Of course I understand that there are good and bad people everywhere, but you were right about "slave"thinking, and it's really ugly. I'm really sorry for your experience on this show, but this is also a mindset of most ppl over there. Russia is a beautiful country, but it only looks better from overseas and on vacations.
The saddest part is that no matter how hard you try making open conversation about this show - you won't succeed! Most of the people truly enjoy seeing heroes being bullied, shamed, made uncomfortable and pushed to very personal conversation. I'm sorry again for this humiliating experience and wish you all the best.
P.S.- you seem like a very nice guy, you really didn't deserve this.

Thank you Anna for your beautiful words. I really love the Russian people and I relate to them in many ways more that Americans. I love how Russians are pragmatists, how they have such strong family values, how they are willing to do anything for their friends and loved ones. In my experience Russians are also a forgiving people - I am always amazed at how much my Russians friends are willing to help me. Russian women are so beautifully feminine, they have not turned their backs on millennium of tradition and gender roles like American women have.
+++
Europeans in general are more progressive that Americans in their views on everything - homosexuality, capital punishment, gender equality, narcotics. I agree so strongly on what you said - what makes America so strong is its tolerance. In American it doesn't matter where you come from, and the color of your skin, it only matters what you can accomplish. One out of every five people in the world who are residing in another country from their birth reside in America. America has the largest immigrant population in the world, 44 million people. In fact, by 2050 - whites will be a minority. What is interesting is the country with the second largest immigration population in the world is Russia, with 11 million immigrants, almost all from the Soviet Union. But despite the equality ideals of the Soviet Union, racism here is so strong, and tolerance toward others is so behind America.
+++
Can Russia change?
+++
On May 22, 1787 three quarters of the world's population were in slavery - including most Russians in serfdom. London England was the capital of the slave trade for the entire world. The world saw slavery as natural and never ending. Twelve men met in the back of a London printing press and proclaimed they would end slavery. Within a short generation those twelve men ended slavery through out the world. Alexis de Tocqueville said what those 12 Quakers did was "absolutely without precedent...If you pore over the histories of all peoples, I doubt that you will find anything more extraordinary." (May1787.com)
+++
In 1969 police raided a gay bar in Manhattan. This spurned the modern gay rights movement, resulting in gay marriage being legalized in America last year.
+++
Anthropologist Margaret Mead said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
+++
If you listen closely to the end of the broadcast, as I am surrounded by the staff and everyone is pushing me to return to this dreadful show, I proclaim that I am looking for political asylum. I am here to do my small part to help Russia become great again. I am here to stand up against the country that Martin Luther King, Jr. called "the greatest purveyor of violence" - the United States.

oh, thank you for being a patriot! What do you want? Russia had been a communist country for 70 years before Yeltsin took power. The best people had been killed by the communists and it will take generations to see the change. You've left the country and that is fine. I've left it also but I would NEVER say that Americans are better than Russians. You cannot generalize like that! I have a feeling you may not be aware of what Americans really think about you...they just will not tell you. I've lived here for 16 years and have seen a lot of bad stuff too. I am not sure where you are from originally but here in America, I am sorry to tell you, Americans will always look at you as an immigrant.

I must apologize to you. You probably do not remember my comment at all but it does not matter because I do. I really did not know the whole truth and yes, it is sad that you were treated unfairly. As far as Guzeeva is concerned, yes she can be a bit of a bully but they keep her for the ratings; besides, a lot of Russians watch this show and find it entertaining. Hopefully, people like you will be able to change how Russians treat both each other and the foreigners. It is certainly a problem right now. I find it very odd (and good for you), however, when you see an American being more of a Russian patriot comparing to those who've left the country. May God keep you safe there and many He protect you and your future family. Peace!

Maria S I'm sorry if you had such a bad experience having someone look at you "as an immigrant". There are definitely some people who think they are somehow better because of the things they didn't do - place of their birth, color of their skin or sex. Just don't pay attention, circle yourself with people who are kind, compassionate and smart, there are more of them than you think. I'm not a patriot to Russia - I refuse to love country that didn't do anything for me. It is my personal opinion that American mindset is better, that might be because I'm surrounded by liberal democrats, who happen to be nice to everyone despite their country of origin. I'm sick and tired of Russians who cant even push a smile out, who can't say anything nice, constantly criticizing each other, who can't say hello or thank you to people who work for them, who immigrate to gather social assistance and brag how they are smarter than government.

well, for one, you were born in Russia, so the doctors and the nurses did something for you and your mother, right? You got your free health care and schooling in the USSR (if you are the same age or older than I am). What is interesting is that you support the party that wants similar things for Americans and it is even more funny that I support and voted for the Republicans. However, I think you were schooled here in America and I have all the reasons to believe you are in your early 20-es. Your English is superb and it is not typical for older people or even people in their 30-es to be able to write like that after only 4 years of living in this country. You'd ask what it has to do with our topic and your views. A lot! Younger people adapt a lot faster than older people and their English tends to be better so they are more accepted by those who've lived in the US their entire lives.

well, what I meant was that you care for Russia and Russian people more than some Russians who left the country... Patriot may not be the best word, I agree. In my opinion, patriotism is wrong when we approve everything our countries (or our leaders) are doing just because we are from that country. We have to use common sense, be fair, and seek truth and truth hurts sometimes. That is what we have the brains for: to analyze and think critically. Wish you the best!

I was not the first person to walk out of "Let's Get Married". Eight years ago, the first host, Darya Volga walked out of the show for the same reason.
Дарья Волга, вы стали первой ведущей программы «Давай поженимся!» на «Первом канале». Почему вы ушли из проекта?
Я вела программу три месяца, и руководство решило резко изменить формат, сделать его более скандальным. Несколько раз я отказалась озвучивать те вещи, которые от меня требовали редакторы. Например, в программу пришла женщина лет 55, которая хотела встретить мужчину. В молодости она сделала два аборта, после которых не смогла стать матерью. Редактор в наушник говорит: «Спроси ее: как вы себя чувствуете после того, как убили двоих своих детей?!» Я не стала это повторять. Как могу я, молодая, здоровая, успешная, замужняя женщина, давать наотмашь по морде человеку, которому и так в жизни пришлось несладко? Лариса Гузеева может. Она более зрелая, опытная, жесткая. Я не могу смотреть «Давай поженимся!» в нынешнем варианте

Travis, Good time of day!
I not believe, that you love our country and people. If you really love our country, you would not "vote with your feet". You say that you want to help Russia, but instead you go away. As the other proverb says: "To vote with your feet is not an effective way of dealing with problems". You can show your discontent, but what have you done to change what you do not like? I saw that you were afraid. You even disrespectfully addressed those ladies - candidates - who came to this show TO YOU. But you did not act like a gentleman. You could at least go out to say goodbye and wish these ladies to find a life partner. It would be more honorable. And you are talking about some kind of love. I felt sorry for these women, because they were completely at a loss, that they offended you. If you really want to help russia and people, you could at least start uploading a video in Youtube or discussing on the TV the problems of russia and what ways you see to solve them (you could mention this and at this show at least in passing. Share your noble intentions on television), and not vote with your feet. It will not change anything. All that you do not like, it will continue. And if there is a person who really needs help, will you also "vote with your feet," based on the fact that he is too pathetic? Help yourself first, work on yourself, and then go out into people.

From what I have seen and read is Russians are extremely closed to new ideas and are very subservient to authority. I saw this in the way the show was set up. I am sorry if I hurt these women. I was looking at the bigger picture.
The last woman, #3, understood exactly why I walked out - this was cut from the footage of the show - but it is in the attached audio.
After the show, I actually had a date with Evgenia set up but she canceled - common in Moscow - not common in America. I have tried to get in contact with number one but to no avail.
You seem so concerned about these girls feelings yet what about the nasty way this show treats people? I was looking at the big picture. I new enough Russian to understand that these women were making funny of me and were making light of the terrible things that the women were talking about.
That is what Larissa does. So i had a choice, to be a cattle like most docile Russians and have a forgetful episode, in which all of us look like fools and are made fun of like idiots, or show Larrisa and the television show that what they were doing was **wrong**. If I said that in the episode would that have been cut? Absolutely. I did what was best for everyone, in the long term, I walked out.
When you are faced with a terribly tough decision and you need to stand up to people in authority what do you do? Are you a docile Russian? I would guess "yes". Give me one example of a time you stood up for yourself.
HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THIS, even tacitly? :

In fact, the Russians are not so closed from new ideas ... this previous generation is very accustomed to the reality in which they grew up and lived.
For example, people who grew up during the war or in the post-war years, which, of course, were very difficult, still can give an example that today's generation of Russians is very "chic", that in their time luxury was considered a piece of bread.
They were born and grew up at that time, and have a corresponding worldview. But, on the other hand, such a life is not a norm (even before the war it was better).
But today's generation of people (in particular - young people) - are open to new ideas. However, the older generation does not take these ideas seriously (because they do not understand these ideas), and "slows down" the young people who listen to them.
For example, on the show "Let's get married" so came the 20-year-old guy who earned the first million. If you think about it, if he earned a million in 20 and will continue to strive, how much can he earn by 40 years? However, Guzeeva tells him to get a higher education and get a job. And how many Russians who went exactly this way - work for hire - and at least once in their lives earned a million? But because in the Soviet Union no one did what is now called "Business." They have an outdated idea of life. However, this guy went off with dignity. He chose no one and went on his own way. He did not "vote with his feet," although what he was told, not understanding his activities, he was very offended, he then worried for a long time. They even cut out at the montage the mention of his online store, and inserted a fragment where another person says "but he earned an honest way?". But nevertheless, he showed that he is above them, that he will not give up his interests in favor of their opinion, and even more so - will not run away. He knows better who he is, and he did not afraid to tell them that. It's you I gave examples of how you could do on the show. The reaction of Guzeeva - the previous generation - and her response - it is just an indication of what you say: "closed to new ideas, and submission to authority". And also an indicator of how the next generation seeks a new one in the current realities. So not everything is so bad in our country: people are changing, the country is also. And it makes me happy. And in general, Travis, you just need to understand us, not condemn.

Дорогой Тревис, за 10 лет в России вы так и не поняли нашу нацию, совершенно не понятно, что именно вы любите в России?
Ведущие нормально и хорошо к вам отнеслись. Ведущие с юмором, да специфическим, да это шоу. Однако, взяв с собой диктофон вы подготовились. а изучить правила этого шоу вы не удосужились. Про 3 бонуса уж можно было узнать. Нормальное шоу. а вы вообще зачем пришли? как будто пропиарится...
Девушки танцевали и веселили - мы такие, к сожалению как африканцам белый человек Бог, так нам иностранец - поэтому все старались и как то хотели удивить..
короче я разочаровалась в вас...

WHY I WALKED OUT.
Have you heard the term "vote with one's feet"? [link removed]
Russia is a country reeling with extreme poverty. Women are hurt most of all. In my short nine months I have lived here:
I saw first hand how alcoholism is rampant in rural Russia among men, with women bearing the brunt of this debilitating disease. [link removed]
I saw first hand at Dialog, Executive Language Center, a Moscow English School, how women are regularly screamed at and put up with all manner of abuse. [link removed]
On websites like "Wamba.com" Moscow women actively "sponsor" themselves. This means that if you are a woman looking for a "sponsor", you are a woman who will give sex to a man if they support your financially. Prostitution is rampant, with websites like [link removed] openly selling sex for as little as 2000 rubles ($31 USD) for an hour.
Many women feel they must marry to get out of terrible poverty. Shows like "Lets Get Married" take people's misery and make it entertainment. I saw the desperation in Evgenia's eyes (contestant two) and it broke my heart. It was the look of desperation and anger that my own ex-wife had when I met her on a marshrutka in 2001. My ex-wife, an ethnic Russian, was living on $100 a month working at Lukoil in Odessa Ukraine when I met her on Valentines Day, 2001. She would steal money from her rich customers to survive. She was supporting herself, her eight year old son, her mother and grandmother on $100. Her son was living in rural Ukraine, a house with no hot water, no telephone, and an outhouse.
On Let's Get Married that day the host Larissa and the other three women hosts showed their misery in their faces when the camera was not pointed on them. Larissa was habitually kneading two pieces of facial tissue in both hands, extremely stressed. Darya, the young director who interviewed me was a basket case that day.
As these poor three women contestants bore their soul and deepest secrets to a national audience, I noticed two men above the crowd in the shadows, watching the entire heart wrenching spectacle. They were the two people calling the shots, they were the two men who were being enriched by other people's misery.
My entire life has been devoted to helping others. When I was Mormon I was a missionary for the church from 1992-1994. From 2000-2004 I was a United States Peace Corps volunteer helping build orphanages with the American embassy in Odessa, Ukraine. I became an attorney to help others- to fight for the poor. I earned a masters degree in International Relations to to be a voice for the voiceless that America murders. I married my now ex-wife out of love in 2002, but I also couldn't bear to abandon her and her family in the poverty of Ukraine.
I came here to help Russians, to build a community. To help build Russia. To help stop the Russian "brain drain" to Russia's enemies who want to destroy this beautiful country. I am here to proclaim that America, behind the propaganda all Russians watch on television, is an evil, miserable and violent country. Behind many American's fake bright smiles is a deep loneliness.
I didn't come to beautiful Russia to help a television show make comedy of people's misery.
So I walked out of the show. I voted with my feet. It was the brave decision. It was the right decision.

Travis, dont waste your time in Russia. You are sweetly naiv like most of Americans. This country will never change. Cause its simply doesnt want too. And its happy the way it is. Trust me, Russian are more sorry about the way Americans live their lives then yourself. Youre are wasting your time. Seriously. Have something better to do with your life.

Hey Travis, I'm a Russian speaking Canadian and I support your decision to quit this stupid game. I hardly believe one can find love in such TV shows. 20 minutes is not enough to get to know a person, and being exposed to millions hurts sincerity. What has to be done deep inside two hearts is a huge audience's entertainment nowadays.
And yes, you are right, unless you found a smart and independent lady your second Russian crush will screw you up again. Especially if you hardly understand each other. Look for a lady who is fluent in English! This is essential for you.
So... good luck man!

Let's Get Married (Давай поженимся, Davay Pozhenimsya: literally "Let's Marry") is a Russian dating program that premiered on Channel One Russia on July 28, 2008. It airs Monday to Thursday at 6:45 pm. Travis Lee Bailey, Esq. was on Let's Get Married in April 2016.
Youtube: Secretly recorded audio of the entire show: https://youtu.be/nUkosHtTHao?t=1h23m46s Starts when I am walking out, asking for political asylum |
Timeline
|
Pressured not to mention political asylum before the show
I had planned to announce in the first 30 seconds of Let's Get Married that I was seeking political asylum, what I called a "hook". Although I didn't tell anyone what I wanted to say onset, during two different English lessons, two women from two different companies fervently encouraged me not to do this. |
Walking off the set stating I want political asylum
I first took off my head piece (for translatotion) and the battery on my back and started to talk to the 3rd contestant in English ignoring Larrisa. The staff came over and helped me to remove the head piece. (not shown on television)
Larissa then continued the show and ask the 3rd contestant and I to go into a room. We were only able to speak 30 seconds, and then the show wanted me to go back out. This was the last straw, this is when I refused, and walked out.
I Secretly recorded the entire show unedited. At Youtube video minute https://youtu.be/nUkosHtTHao?t=1h23m46s 1:23:46 I say that I am here for political asylum.' As I was trying to walk off the set of "Let's Get Married", and before Larissa came back to accost me, I kept repeating in English that I wanted political asylum., which was recorded on camera. My translator Asad translated what I said. |
Why I walked out
Larisa Guzeeva, host of Let's Get Married. Quote: You have four brothers, are they all connected with crime? |
WHY I WALKED OUT. |
---|
Have you heard the term "vote with one's feet"? vote with your feet- Cambridge Dictionary Russia is a country reeling with extreme poverty. Women are hurt most of all. In my short nine months I have lived here: I saw first hand how alcoholism is rampant in rural Russia among men, with women bearing the brunt of this debilitating disease. I saw first hand at Dialog, Executive Language Center, a Moscow English School, how women are regularly screamed at and put up with all manner of abuse. On websites like "Wamba.com" Moscow women actively "sponsor" themselves. This means that if you are a woman looking for a "sponsor", you are a woman who will give sex to a man if they support your financially. Prostitution is rampant, with websites like [link removed] openly selling sex for as little as 2000 rubles ($31 USD) for an hour. Many women feel they must marry to get out of terrible poverty. Shows like "Lets Get Married" take people's misery and make it entertainment. I saw the desperation in Evgenia's eyes (contestant two) and it broke my heart. It was the look of desperation and anger that my own ex-wife had when I met her on a marshrutka in 2001. My ex-wife, an ethnic Russian, was living on $100 a month working at Lukoil in Odessa Ukraine when I met her on Valentines Day, 2001. She would steal money from her rich customers to survive. She was supporting herself, her eight year old son, her mother and grandmother on $100. Her son was living in rural Ukraine, a house with no hot water, no telephone, and an outhouse. On Let's Get Married that day the host Larissa and the other three women hosts showed their misery in their faces when the camera was not pointed on them. Larissa was habitually kneading two pieces of facial tissue in both hands, extremely stressed. Darya, the young director who interviewed me was a basket case that day. As these poor three women contestants bore their soul and deepest secrets to a national audience, I noticed two men above the crowd in the shadows, watching the entire heart wrenching spectacle. They were the two people calling the shots, they were the two men who were being enriched by other people's misery. My entire life has been devoted to helping others. When I was Mormon I was a missionary for the church from 1992-1994. From 2000-2004 I was a United States Peace Corps volunteer helping build orphanages with the American embassy in Odessa, Ukraine. I became an attorney to help others- to fight for the poor. I earned a masters degree in International Relations to to be a voice for the voiceless that America murders. I married my now ex-wife out of love in 2002, but I also couldn't bear to abandon her and her family in the poverty of Ukraine. I came here to help Russians, to build a community. To help build Russia. To help stop the Russian "brain drain" to Russia's enemies who want to destroy this beautiful country. I am here to proclaim that America, behind the propaganda all Russians watch on television, is an evil, miserable and violent country. Behind many American's fake bright smiles is a deep loneliness. I didn't come to beautiful Russia to help a television show make comedy of people's misery. So I walked out of the show. I voted with my feet. It was the brave decision. It was the right decision. |

LETS GET MARRIED Travis Lee Bailey Давай поженимся 20 04 2016 любитель животных | |
Не любимая уехала с ребёнком в Америку...(someone is speaking behind the scene...убегает,...подойдите, посмотрите что случилось?) | |
-Привет Лариса, you know what? | |
-Извините пожалуйста, можно я просто сейчас,можете уйти, мне переводчик не нужен,пожалуйста, и вы не нужны, | |
-Я Лариса Гузеева, это "Давай Поженимся" Добрый вечер! | |
сегодня невеста Оксана, Евгения и Варвара, а жених у нас Трэвис, здравствуйте! Проходите! | |
[Announcer] Трэвис: 43 года, после развода с супругой, побывал на 65 свиданиях, но уже на 35 понял, возьмёт в жёны только русскую женщину. Трэвис юрист, также даёт уроки английского языка, также гордится тем, что выиграл суд у крупного американского банка, мечтает побывать в Сибири и посмотреть процесс одомашнивания лис, его избранница обязательно должна найти общий язык с его собакой. Трэвис не обратит внимание на карьеристку с короткой стрижкой и большим носом, женится на девушке с выразительными глазами, которая любит животных, детей и не боится показывать свой характер. | [1:17] |
-Здравствуйте Трэвис! | |
-Здравствуйте! | |
-Вот с русскими собаками лаять на русском, я понимаю как, а как же она с вашей американской собакой найдёт общий язык? она по американски должна как то так подвывать? :)чтобы найти общий язык? Я не understand если честно, ......он тоже...(улыбаются) | |
-Следующий вопрос, откуда к нам такой интересный молодой человек пожаловал? You from? | |
-Я Американец, | |
-Смотри как он улыбается, у него очень открытая улыбка, добрый взгляд, | |
-Вы хорошо говорите по русски? | |
-Да, я говорю по русски, я говорю по русски 10 лет | |
-Дааа, а кто научил? У вас была русская жена? | |
-Я жил в Одессе, у меня есть жена, бывшая. | |
-Значит вы должны говорить немножко на суржике, не совсем русский такой, такой даже одесский, шо вы говорите? немножко должны так, то есть, смесь американского с одесским. | |
-слушайте, какие у него добрые глаза, открытая чистая улыбка, самое главное, то что он уже немного обжёгся, и хочет что то попробовать. Наш человек! | |
-А где вы познакомились с вашей бывшей женой? | |
-Мы, в маршрутке, | |
-Я, да | |
-Вы приставали к русской одесской женщине, да, типа вы говорили, я из Америки, привет! бла бла бла, и у вас закрутился с ней роман, | |
-Да, угу | |
-Аха, она была красивая? | |
-Да, очень красивая, | |
-мхуу, у неё были уже дети? она была не счастлива в браке? я так понимаю, да? и вы из жалости на ней женились? ....и увезли её в Америку, я такое же унижение испытываю в Америке, когда пытаю говорить по английски, а американцы на меня очень внимательно на меня смотрят, и пытаются понять, и тоже так, мммм, да, | |
-Очень приятный, вполне приятный, видно что он застенчивый, да застенчивый, | |
-Вы увезли её в Америку, | |
-Да | |
-Поженились с ней, и счастливо жили? | |
-Да, мы очень счастливо жили 10 лет, в Америке, потом она нашла другого мужчину, | |
-Кто бы сомневался, | |
-А вы ещё такой добрый, и немножко такой американец, взяли ей и дом подарили, | |
-А куда ж, гнать что ли? | |
-А у вас общих детей, не родились, | |
-Children together? | |
-нет, хмм, | |
-нет, мы познакомились в маршрутке, | |
-это я уже поняла, мы уже не в Одессе, мы уже живем в Америке сейчас... | |
-аха, и вот, вы живёте себе живёте, а почему она другого мужчину себе нашла? как она могла, вай, нем гуд, | |
-хмм | |
-она его любила, да часто говорила, что жизнь такая, хуже чем отрава, лала, | |
-я за вас всё расскажу, она вам изменила, вы ей оставили дом, | |
-да | |
-а то сейчас Роза начнет приставать, дом у вас там есть в Америке | |
-там похоже уже ничего нет | |
-не трогай его | |
-так я ж половину вопросов сейчас опускаю уже, | |
-мне кажется что он добрый, и умеет посмеяться над собой, | |
-Вы с её сыном были в хороших отношениях? | |
-у меня есть очень хорошо, у меня есть очень плохие отношения с сыном | |
-Почему? | |
-Потому что я хочу..., потому что это не мой сын, это мой бывший сын, | |
-Детей хотите еще, своих? | |
-Yes, I would like, я хочу русский женщина, очень нравится экзотика женщина, и я хочу, | |
я хочу моих детей, дочь, сейчас, | |
-Хороший возраст 43 года, а где будете жить в России или Америке? | |
-Я хочу жить в России, потому что я очень люблю Россию, Россия! | |
-Молодец! | |
-Он мне очень импонирует, потому что он хочет иметь дочь, потому что у меня, так как есть сын, мне бы очень хотелось бы иметь дочку. | |
-Трэвис, жалко что сейчас жены сейчас с вами нет? | |
-Да, очень жалко, я здесь потому я хочу другую женщину, | |
-Ну надо быть осторожней, а то уедет... | |
-второго дома то нет, | |
-Я знаю что вы из семью Мармонов, | |
-Да | |
-У вас много братьев, | |
-У меня есть четыре брата, они все связаны с криминалом? | |
-О как это интересно, я люблю плохих мальчиков, | |
-Он на Джека Ноколосана похож, да, а я то и думаю на кого он похож? да на актёра, | |
-Ну а теперь значит, это...Трэвис, Лариса перевела свою тему, иеперь я перевожу вашу тему относительно материального, в Москве вы квартиру снимаете, я думаю что не дорого, книжки вы пишете, но деньги но деньги с них не получаете, потому что не в деньгах счастье, занимаетесь благотворительностью, помогаете детским домам, сиротам, что похвально, не понятно от чего, с какой зарплаты, но в принципе я думаю что все зрители наши, которые здесь уже в принципе поняли, какой материальный достаток, но сегодня, а я на каждой программе всегда говорю, что я за производителя, нечего вывозить наш генофонд куда то там и помогать, но относительно вас, сегодня я буду мягкая почему? Сегодня вы для меня такой жених как миссионер, у нас много женщин которые нуждаются в мужчинах, а на всех российских не хватает, поэтому мы будем... | |
-ну и в Америке тоже на всех не хватает, на всех несчастных домов не хватит... | |
-А он не собирается в Америку, он в Россию собирается, поэтому, значит женщин у нас много нуждающихся, и в мужчине и в мужской поддержке, и особо даже не хотят там деньги, не деньги и родит вам, осчастливьте сегодня хотя бы одну, я только за буду. | [10:xx] |

Sell unused space in luggage
Airmule - focuses on the shipping for its approach, allowing travelers to post open space in their luggage allocations and shippers to pay for each pound.
Grabr - focuses on creating a pathway for consumers to get a specific item such as a drone or a pair of shoes delivered to them directly by hand, putting the onus on the traveler to locate the product and pitch a competitive price.

A new crop of mobile apps wants to monetize unused airline luggage space by paying travelers to carry items for third parties.
The new technologies come from Airmule and Grabr, two similar mobile apps that allow travelers to match their upcoming itineraries to customers who want an inexpensive tool for shipping. Each app takes a security-first approach to the transactions. Shippers and travelers must be verified and a rating system much like Yelp YELP is used to rank the integrity of each party.
Where the two new apps differ is in their approach towards goods shipped. Grabr focuses on creating a pathway for consumers to get a specific item such as a drone or a pair of shoes delivered to them directly by hand, putting the onus on the traveler to locate the product and pitch a competitive price. Airmule focuses on the shipping for its approach, allowing travelers to post open space in their luggage allocations and shippers to pay for each pound. One traveling from New York to London with a 50 lb allocation over three checked bags, for example, could post 150 lbs of shipping available at $4 per lb, generating a potential income of $600. In both cases, traveler and shipper need to coordinate the property exchange.
In principle, the services are a unique way to capitalize on unused luggage space while providing boutique delivery service and a pathway for budget travelers to make a bit of side income. But the programs are neither without complexity nor risk.
On a recent leisure trip that I took from San Francisco to Rio De Janeiro, I posted 210 lbs of available space on Airmule. Though a shipper quickly reached out to me for courier service, her package was a one pound envelope and she needed to overnight it to me in the Bay Area. Once in Rio, I needed to find a post office and send the envelope to São Paulo. On a weekend. For the $4 shipping fee plus a few extra dollars for my time.
There's also the matter of airline security. While both programs thoroughly vet their respective parties, many potential travelers are uncomfortable shipping items that they aren't completely familiar with. Grabr counters this by pointing out that consumers or shippers only need ask for particular goods while the onus is on the traveler to purchase the items and package them. Airmule says it provides an extra layer of security by requiring senders to upload photos of their items and providing a thorough paper trail of the transaction.
The airline and customs side of security is a bit more murky. Neither spokesmen from United nor American would comment for this story while a Transportation Security Agency spokesman could only confirm that the agency is reviewing the applications.
Constraints within the airline industry paired with the general comfort of travelers shipping potentially unknown items will be the biggest challenges for Airmule and Grabr apps. Like sharing a car or a vacation rental, however, the travel industry and the consumer base may eventually adapt to sharing luggage -- and when they do, I'll be the first person selling my unused cargo space. With Russians suddenly free to emigrate, foreign men offered another route to prosperity. Love was optional. An American who taught English in Moscow tells me that during a class presentation a young woman recounted how her friend Maria married an American man, had a child with him, then turned around and divorced him. Maria is now in America, living off the alimony and child support she collects from her former husband. In the class discussion that followed, the storyteller’s classmates praised Maria for her “cleverness” and castigated the American husband for allowing himself to be duped.

Mass mailing anti-American propaganda to Eastern Ukraine</p>
In 2001 I was living in Odessa, Ukraine in the Peace Corps when the terrorists hit the World Trade Center. I had an Arab friend from Dubai who was the kindest, most honorable, most incredible man I have ever met in my entire life. A couple of days after 9/11, I was walking on the warm promenade of the port city of Odessa with Jaz. In a low tone that was so foreign, he said, "If they [Americans] come to my country, I will kill them". I was shocked, how could the gentlest man I ever met hate America so much? I then began to study American Foreign Policy and was horrified with what I found.
The Ukraine Peace Corps had always said officially that they were not part of the CIA and the CIA would never be allowed into the Peace Corps. But I found congressional testimony that the CIA can legal infiltrate the United States Peace Corps. I created a letter and had a local Ukrainian translator, Natasha Tsuranova l, translate this letter into Russian. The day I left Ukraine in September 2002 I secretly mailed approximately 100+ of these letters from the airport mailbox to media organizations throughout Eastern Ukraine.
In 2002 the United States Peace Corps was kicked out of Russia. Based on my understanding of sociology, I posit that there is a better than 50% chance that my letters had something to do with this.
In 2014 America overthrew the democratically government of Ukraine, I was devastated when I found out that dozens of protesters died in Odessa. I walked on that square everyday for over 2 years. Every death is a deep tragedy. But my deepest hope is that I helped plant some of the seeds for the eventual split up of pro-American Ukraine on Russia's doorstep, into East and West Ukraine.

October 16 at 19.00 - Defenders whom no one defended We invite you to the next meeting of the seminar "State terror in the USSR: sources and methods of study." In the 1920–1940s, about 400 Moscow lawyers, both former and current, became victims of Soviet repression. Until 1917 they were called jury attorneys, and after 1922, with the advent of the new Soviet advocacy, they were called advocates or the ChKZ (“member of the college of advocates”). More than 200 of these people were sentenced to death; the rest received camp sentences and / or were sent to remote areas. Independent researcher Dmitry Shabelnikov set as his goal to tell about the fate of each of these 400 people. Since the summer of 2019, he, together with Advokatsky Gazeta, has been implementing the project “Defenders whom no one has defended.” The history of the bar as an independent professional corporation is important for any society, but for Russia it has special significance for several reasons at once. Having appeared for the first time in the 1860s, in the wake of legal reforms outstanding for that era, the Russian sworn advocacy eventually turned into a unique institution, distinguished by its independence and active participation in society. After the revolution of 1905, many jurors were actively engaged in political activities, especially in the State Duma; The culmination of this campaign in politics was eight months between the February and October revolutions, when many lawyers entered the Provisional Government and various state bodies and public organizations. The sworn advocacy was destroyed by one of the first decrees of the Soviet government, but in 1922 a new, Soviet advocacy was born, largely thanks to the efforts of the "old" lawyers, some of which remained in Russia. The attitude of the Soviet government towards advocacy, as well as towards the institution of judicial protection itself, changed over time. For example, the People's Commissar of Justice Krylenko advocated reducing the role of defense and ultimately its abolition; USSR Prosecutor Vyshinsky (formerly an assistant to the jury attorney) disputed this position - and his point of view prevailed, which, however, did not apply to trials on “political” charges and extra-judicial repressions. Some of the lawyers drafted Soviet legislation and participated in important discussions about this. Gradually, it was the “old” lawyers who became the target of repression - and during the years of the Great Terror this generation of defenders was almost destroyed along with some of the younger colleagues of the already Soviet draft. Terms of participation: admission is free. Where: st. Carriage row, d. 5/10. Hall of the Memorial Society. How to get there: metro Chekhovskaya, Mayakovskaya, Tsvetnoy Boulevard. |
16 октября в 19.00 – Защитники, которых никто не защитил Приглашаем на очередную встречу семинара «Государственный террор в СССР: источники и методы изучения». В 1920–1940-е годы жертвами советских репрессий стали около 400 московских адвокатов, бывших и действующих. До 1917 года их называли присяжными поверенными, а после 1922 года, с появлением новой советской адвокатуры, – защитниками или ЧКЗ («член коллегии защитников»). Более 200 из этих людей были приговорены к расстрелу; остальные получили лагерные сроки и/или были высланы в отдаленные местности. Независимый исследователь Дмитрий Шабельников поставил своей целью рассказать о судьбе каждого из этих 400 человек. С лета 2019 года он совместно с «Адвокатской газетой» реализует проект «Защитники, которых никто не защитил». История адвокатуры как независимой профессиональной корпорации важна для любого общества, однако для России она имеет особое значение сразу по нескольким причинам. Появившись впервые в 1860-е годы, на волне выдающихся для той эпохи правовых реформ, российская присяжная адвокатура со временем превратилась в уникальный институт, отличавшийся независимостью и активным участием в жизни общества. После революции 1905 года многие присяжные поверенные активно занялись политической деятельностью, особенно в Государственной думе; кульминацией этого похода в политику стали восемь месяцев между февральской и октябрьской революциями, когда многие адвокаты вошли во Временное правительство и различные государственные органы и общественные организации. Присяжная адвокатура была уничтожена одним из первых декретов советской власти, но в 1922 году родилась новая, советская адвокатура – во многом благодаря усилиям «старых» адвокатов, часть которых осталась в России. Отношение советской власти к адвокатуре, как и к самому институту судебной защиты, менялось со временем. Например, нарком юстиции Крыленко выступал за сокращение роли защиты и в конечном счете ее упразднение; прокурор СССР Вышинский (в прошлом помощник присяжного поверенного) оспаривал эту позицию – и его точка зрения возобладала, что, впрочем, не относилось к судебным процессам по «политическим» обвинениям и внесудебным репрессиям. Некоторые из адвокатов разрабатывали советское законодательство и участвовали в важных дискуссиях по этому поводу. Постепенно именно «старые» адвокаты становились мишенью репрессий – и в годы Большого террора это поколение защитников было практически уничтожено вместе с частью более молодых коллег уже советского призыва. Условия участия: вход свободный. Где: ул. Каретный ряд, д. 5/10. Зал общества «Мемориал». Как добраться: метро «Чеховская», «Маяковская», «Цветной бульвар». |
Message to Lena NEED TO MOVE
- Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro-2
After World War II, construction of underground shelters, meant to protect civilians from after-effects of nuclear bombing, started in Moscow. But the highest government and military officials needed special protection – during wartime, only they can make decisions and apply measures to save the country.
Specially fortified shelters were built under strict secrecy in different parts of Moscow. To escape Moscow in case of bombing, the people in charge also needed means of secure transportation. Regular subway was unfit for that because of low level of protection, so “second subway” was constructed – it connects major government shelters and underground command centers, and also has a long radius leading outside the city borders, to vast suburban shelters. This system was labeled “Metro-2” by Muscovites.[1]
There are not state secrets, as all the evidence that proves the existence of these systems is quite public.Cite error: Invalid <ref>

Caps of mining shafts and ventilation kiosks
There are caps of mining shafts and ventilation kiosks, located in different parts of the city. Moscow subway lines were constructed using the “deep bore” method, when a shaft about 20 feet in diameter and 200 feet to 230 feet deep is dug to reach the level where actual line construction starts. Later, the shaft is used both to transport mining machines down to the mining level, and to remove the earth.
After the construction is completed, the shaft closes, and when it’s open, it means that works are under way.
In the 1970s, one such shafts was located near Red Square, inside the building of Gostinyi dvor, and could be seen on panoramic photos of the Kremlin.
Today, another shaft can be seen near Kitay-gorod subway station, although it’s clear that civil subway construction here had stopped decades ago.
There are also a few active shafts in suburbs and outside city borders, where subways doesn’t exist.
The shabby, almost abandoned looks of shafts and ventilation kiosks contribute to their secrecy; meanwhile, they are duly guarded and impossible to infiltrate.
Inside the Moscow subway
Evidence can also be seen inside the Moscow subway.
- There are blocked stairways and gates leading to “nowhere” in some of the stations
- The famous dead-end line, that can be seen to the left of the train going from Sportivnaya station to Universitet stations. The line, as amateur explorers report, ends near a massive gate, which is believed to be one of the entrances to Metro-2.
An inside source told RBTH that each of the officers with access to Metro-2 is allowed only into one part of the system. None of them know how many clearance levels there are, so nobody sees the whole picture and possesses the whole plan, making the declassification of the whole installation virtually impossible.

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

I want to disable the use of the ink cartridges completely.
Is there any articles or videos on how the HP ink cartridge works when there is tank? I wanted to buy a printer WITHOUT a ink cartridge. I did not realize there are two expensive to replace ink cartridges inside.

Wildcards
Find and Replace using wildcards
This tutorial pre-supposes that the user will have some basic experience of Word's 'replace' function. The secret of using wildcard searches is to identify the unique string of text that you wish to find. Wildcards are combined with regular text and formatting options to represent the characters or sequences of characters in that string. Because different combinations of characters can be represented by a variety of wildcard combinations, there is often more than one way of identifying a particular string of text within a document. How you choose to represent that group of characters is therefore a matter of individual preference; and the context of the text within the document will to a great extent dictate the most suitable combination to use on a particular occasion. Wildcard searches are case sensitive. Start by identifying the string you wish to replace and then pop up the replace function (CTRL+H) or select Advanced Find from the Editing group on the Home tab of the ribbon (see below); or in earlier Word versions Edit > Replace. Click the 'More' button to present the additional functions and check the 'Use wildcards' option: With the cursor in the 'Find what:' or 'Replace with:' boxes you can use keyboard shortcuts to enhance the strings with the principle formatting options e.g CTRL+U - underline, CTRL+I - italics, etc. These operate as toggles to cycle through the various options available. Insert your find and replace strings using the following guide for inspiration. Wildcard Description Notes ? and * The two most basic wildcards are ? and *. They are essentially similar in use. ? is used to represent a single character and * represents any number of characters. On their own, these have limited use. s?t will find sat, set,sit ,sot and any other combination of three characters beginning with 's' and ending with 't'. It will also find that combination of letters with a word, thus it would locate the relevant (highlighted) part of inset etc. In the quoted example, the asterisk returns st as a match. Word does not limit the number of characters that the asterisk can match, and it does not require that characters or spaces reside between the literal characters that you use with the asterisk. The asterisk is a rather blunt weapon which must be used with care, as it can return a lot of unwanted results. @ @ is used to find re-occurrences of the previous character (if any). e.g. lo@t will find lot or loot, ful@ will find ful or full etc. < > With any of the above (or any other combination of wildcards and characters), you can use the brackets < and > to mark the start and end of a word respectively. Thus in the example used above for '*' <s*t> would find 'secret' and 'serpent', but not 'sailing boats' and 'sign over documents'. Though again, given the use of '*', beware as it will find the block of text from a word starting with 's' to the end of the next word in the document ending with 't', e.g. 'sailing boat' which may not be what you had in mind. The <> brackets can be used in pairs as above or individually as appropriate e.g. ful@> will find 'full' and the appropriate part of 'wilful' but not 'wilfully [ ] Square brackets are always used in pairs and are used to identify specific characters or ranges of characters. e.g.: [abc] will find any of the letters abc. [F] will find upper case 'F'; [A-Z] will find any upper case letter; [0-9] will find any single number; [13579] will find any odd numbers; [0-9A-Za-z] will find any numbers or letters. The characters can be any character or series of characters, including space. Characters are processed in order - lowest first. If you are uncertain which character is lower than another check with 'Insert > Symbol'. [!] [!] is very similar to [ ] except in this case it finds any character not listed in the box so [!o] would find every character except “o”. You can use ranges of characters in exactly the same was as with [ ], thus [!A-Z] will find everything except upper case letters. For advanced users only You can paste any (Unicode) character - unfortunately *not* characters from decorative (Symbol) fonts) - into your search expressions. So copying the first and last characters from the Greek or cyrillic subsets into a search: [;-ώ] would match any Greek character α β γ δ ε ... <[Ё-ґ]@> matches any cyrillic word: Вы можете помочь мне? (“Can you help me please?”) In Word 2000, you can type in Unicode characters with the Alt-key (make sure NumLock is on, then hold down the Alt-key and type the numbers on the numeric keyboard). Since all characters from decorative fonts (Symbol-, Wingdings-fonts ...) are kept in a special code page from &HF000 to &HF0FF, you can search for them with [Alt61472-Alt61695]. { } Curly brackets are used for counting occurrences of the previous character or expression. {n} This finds exactly the number 'n' of occurrences of the previous character {n,} Finds at least the number 'n' occurrences. {n,m} Finds the number of occurrences from 'n' to 'm'. Note: The above examples employ a comma as a list separator {n,m} - for languages that use alternative list separators, substitute the local separator character (often a semi-colon {n;m}) as appropriate. Counting can be used with individual characters or more usefully with sets of characters e.g. [deno]{4} will match done, node, eden) or bracketed groups: (ts, ){3} will match ts, ts, ts, . (Unfortunately, there is no wildcard to search for "zero or more occurrences" in Word wildcard searches; [!^13]{0,} does not work). ( ) Round brackets have no effect on the search pattern, but are used to divide the pattern into logical sequences, where you wish to re-assemble those sequences in a different order during the replace - or to replace only part of that sequence. They must be used in pairs. The partnering backslash character is used as a replacement string in conjunction with a number to indicate which pair of brackets numbered from the left is required e.g. (John) (Smith) replaced by \2 \1 - note the spaces in the search and replace strings - will produce Smith John or replaced by \2 alone will give Smith. The placeholders \1, \2 etc., can also be used in the search string to identify recurring text. e.g. Fred Fred could be written (Fred) \1. \ If you wish to search for a character that has a special meaning in wildcard searches - the obvious example being '?'. then you can do so by putting a backslash in front of it: [\?] will find the question mark character '?' If you wish to find the backslash itself then you need to precede that with a backslash [\\]. The following is a list of the characters that have a special meaning in wildcard searches ( [ ] { } < > ( ) - @ ? ! * \ ) See also 'Gremlins to be aware of (for advanced users only)' at the end of this page Gotchas . You may wish to identify a character string by means of a paragraph mark ¶. The normal search string for this would be ^p. ^p DOES NOT WORK in wildcard search strings! It must however be used in replacement strings, but when searching, you must look for the substitute code ^13. Wildcard searches will also not find footnote/endnote marks - substitute ^2. A-z would be expected to reproduce all the letters between A and z i.e. both upper case and lower case letters, which it does, but it reproduces all the characters from ASCII 65 to ASCII 122, and that block also includes the characters [ ] ` ^ _ / Use A-Za-z instead. The question mark ? is used to find individual characters. If used with curly brackets to define a range of characters eg
Control Codes that may be used with the search/replace tool Code Notes ^1 In-line picture ^2 Auto referenced footnotes ^5 Annotation mark ^9 Tab ^11 New line ^12 Page or Section break ^13 Paragraph break / 'carriage' return ^14 Column break ^19 Opening field brace (when field braces are visible) ^21 Closing field brace (when field braces are visible) ?

In Word 2007 a forward slash / also appears to find in-line graphics. This appears to be an unintentional bug. ^l New line - ^m Manual Page Break ^n Column break ^t Tab - ^p Paragraph Mark - ^s Non-breaking space ^w White space (space, non-breaking space, tab); not valid in the Replace box ^nnn Where "n" is an ASCII character number Note: ASCII codes below 128 were standardized a long time ago, before the introduction of Windows operating systems. The upper codes were used for OS-specific, localized, or vendor-specific stuff. When DOS code pages were replaced by Windows code pages, a leading zero was used to indicated the difference. Thus ^32 and ^032 will both represent a space character, but ^147 will represent ô and ^0147 will represent “ ^0nnn See above (Produces ASCII on Macintosh). ^unnnn Unicode character search where "n" is a decimal number corresponding to the Unicode character value. Note: Instructions on how to identify the required decimal number are included at the end of this page. Note: To search for a specific field, such as an XE (Index Entry) field, use the following syntax: ^19 field name Putting it into practice Example 1. There are many occasions when you are presented with blocks of text or numbers etc., where the order of the text is not what you might require in the final document. Swapping the placement of forename and surname as above is one such example - and don't forget you can add to the replacement, even when using bracketed replacements e.g. you may wish John Smith to appear as Smith, John or, more likely, you may have a column of names in a table, where you wish to exchange all the surnames with all the forenames. You could do them one at a time, but by replacing the names with wildcards, you can do the lot in one pass. Let's then break up the names into logical sequences that can only represent the names. At its simplest, we have here two words - John and Smith. They can be represented by <*>[space]<*> - where [space] is a single press of the spacebar. Add the round brackets (<*>)[space](<*>) and replace with \2[space]\1 Run the search on the column of names and all are swapped. Run it again and they are swapped back. If you get it wrong, remember that Word's 'undo' function (CTRL+Z) is very powerful and has a long memory! Example 2 This could be the changing of UK format dates to US format dates - or vice versa. 7th August 2001 to August 7th, 2001 To give an example of how most of the wildcards could be used in one search sequence to find any UK date formatted above to its equivalent US format date, the following search pattern will do the trick: [0-9]{1,2}[dhnrst]{2} <[AFJMNSOD]*>[0-9]{4} Breaking it down [0-9] looks for any single digit number, but dates can have two numbers so to restrict that to two, we use the count function. We want to find dates with 1 or 2 numbers so [0-9]{1,2} Next bit is the ordinal 'th' - Ordinals will be 'st' 'rd' or 'th' so identify those letters specifically: [dhnrst] There will always be two letters, so restrict the count to 2 [dhnrst]{2} Next comes the space. You can insert a space [space] The month always begins with one of the following capital letters - AFJMNSOD. We don't know how many letters this month has so we can use the blanket '*' to represent the rest. And we are only interested in that word so we will tie it down with <> brackets. <[AFJMNSOD]*> there's another space [space] followed by the year. The years here have four numbers so [0-9]{4} Finally add the round brackets to provide a logical breakup of the sequence ([0-9]{1,2}[dhnrst]{2})[space](<[AFJMNSOD]*>)[space]([0-9]{4}) and replace with \2[space]\1,[space]\3 to re-order the sequence. Example 3 Assume you are parsing addresses and wish to separate the honorific from the name. American usage puts a full stop (period) at the end ("Mr.", "Mrs.", "Dr.") while British usage often omits the full stop. ([DM][rs]{1,2})( ) will find Mr Mrs Dr without the stop and \1.\2 will put one in. or vice versa ([DM][rs]{1,2}). will find Mr. Mrs. Dr. with the stop and \1 will take it out. Further examples: (*^13)\1\1 will match any sequence of three identical paragraphs, (*^13)@ will match any number of replacement paragraphs. Replace with \1 to remove duplicates from a sorted list. \<([!\<\>]@)\>[!\<\>]@\</\1\> will match any well-formed XML element including start-tag and end-tag (“some text ” or “<customer-name>John Smith</customer-name>”)By creating logical sequences you can search for almost any combinations of characters. Gremlins to be aware of (for advanced users only) Sometimes Word will get confused if it encounters “escaped” brackets \( or \), for example “(\\)” will match *any* character, not only a backslash Workaround: use "([" instead. ([a-z]\() throws an error - should find an "a(". Workaround: Use ([a-z][\(]) instead. Not a bug but still annoying: You have to escape any special character even if you type its code; so ^92 will have the same problems as typing the backslash. The construction {0,} (find zero or more of the preceding item) is refused as incorrect syntax. This concept is available in Unix regular expression matching, so it's a curious omission. You don’t always have to “escape” the special characters, if the context makes it clear that the special meaning isn’t wanted. [abc-] matches "-", and [)(] matches ")" or "(". This may sometimes make your searches behave differently from what you expected. Establish the unicode decimal number for a character When searching for a symbol from the extended character set using its unicode decimal number i.e. ^unnnn you first need to identify that number. First select the first example of the character (e.g. the Cyrillic character ю in the document, then activate the Insert > Symbol dialog. The dialog opens with the character selected: Note the Unicode (hex) character code number - here 044E. Open the Windows calculator and change its view to the Programmer's calculator, ensure that the Hex radio button is checked and enter the number into the calculator. In some earlier Windows versions, the calculator has a different layout. The 'hex' and 'dec' conversion buttons are in the Scientific calculator view. Click the Dec radio button and note the changed number You can then use the four digit number in conjunction with the ^unnn (^u1102) to find the characters in the document. Macro to identify the four digit number indicated above The following macro will identify and copy the value of the character at the cursor to the clipboard, for ease of pasting into the find and replace tool's 'Find what' dialog. If you don't know how to use macro listings, see https://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. Note that the following macro requires a reference to the Microsoft Forms 2 Object Library to be checked in the vba editor tools > references (see following illustration). |

The two ways to lock a preference are:
(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Wildcards
Find and Replace using wildcards
This tutorial pre-supposes that the user will have some basic experience of Word's 'replace' function. The secret of using wildcard searches is to identify the unique string of text that you wish to find. Wildcards are combined with regular text and formatting options to represent the characters or sequences of characters in that string. Because different combinations of characters can be represented by a variety of wildcard combinations, there is often more than one way of identifying a particular string of text within a document. How you choose to represent that group of characters is therefore a matter of individual preference; and the context of the text within the document will to a great extent dictate the most suitable combination to use on a particular occasion. Wildcard searches are case sensitive. Start by identifying the string you wish to replace and then pop up the replace function (CTRL+H) or select Advanced Find from the Editing group on the Home tab of the ribbon (see below); or in earlier Word versions Edit > Replace. Click the 'More' button to present the additional functions and check the 'Use wildcards' option: With the cursor in the 'Find what:' or 'Replace with:' boxes you can use keyboard shortcuts to enhance the strings with the principle formatting options e.g CTRL+U - underline, CTRL+I - italics, etc. These operate as toggles to cycle through the various options available. Insert your find and replace strings using the following guide for inspiration. Wildcard Description Notes ? and * The two most basic wildcards are ? and *. They are essentially similar in use. ? is used to represent a single character and * represents any number of characters. On their own, these have limited use. s?t will find sat, set,sit ,sot and any other combination of three characters beginning with 's' and ending with 't'. It will also find that combination of letters with a word, thus it would locate the relevant (highlighted) part of inset etc. In the quoted example, the asterisk returns st as a match. Word does not limit the number of characters that the asterisk can match, and it does not require that characters or spaces reside between the literal characters that you use with the asterisk. The asterisk is a rather blunt weapon which must be used with care, as it can return a lot of unwanted results. @ @ is used to find re-occurrences of the previous character (if any). e.g. lo@t will find lot or loot, ful@ will find ful or full etc. < > With any of the above (or any other combination of wildcards and characters), you can use the brackets < and > to mark the start and end of a word respectively. Thus in the example used above for '*' <s*t> would find 'secret' and 'serpent', but not 'sailing boats' and 'sign over documents'. Though again, given the use of '*', beware as it will find the block of text from a word starting with 's' to the end of the next word in the document ending with 't', e.g. 'sailing boat' which may not be what you had in mind. The <> brackets can be used in pairs as above or individually as appropriate e.g. ful@> will find 'full' and the appropriate part of 'wilful' but not 'wilfully [ ] Square brackets are always used in pairs and are used to identify specific characters or ranges of characters. e.g.: [abc] will find any of the letters abc. [F] will find upper case 'F'; [A-Z] will find any upper case letter; [0-9] will find any single number; [13579] will find any odd numbers; [0-9A-Za-z] will find any numbers or letters. The characters can be any character or series of characters, including space. Characters are processed in order - lowest first. If you are uncertain which character is lower than another check with 'Insert > Symbol'. [!] [!] is very similar to [ ] except in this case it finds any character not listed in the box so [!o] would find every character except “o”. You can use ranges of characters in exactly the same was as with [ ], thus [!A-Z] will find everything except upper case letters. For advanced users only You can paste any (Unicode) character - unfortunately *not* characters from decorative (Symbol) fonts) - into your search expressions. So copying the first and last characters from the Greek or cyrillic subsets into a search: [;-ώ] would match any Greek character α β γ δ ε ... <[Ё-ґ]@> matches any cyrillic word: Вы можете помочь мне? (“Can you help me please?”) In Word 2000, you can type in Unicode characters with the Alt-key (make sure NumLock is on, then hold down the Alt-key and type the numbers on the numeric keyboard). Since all characters from decorative fonts (Symbol-, Wingdings-fonts ...) are kept in a special code page from &HF000 to &HF0FF, you can search for them with [Alt61472-Alt61695]. { } Curly brackets are used for counting occurrences of the previous character or expression. {n} This finds exactly the number 'n' of occurrences of the previous character {n,} Finds at least the number 'n' occurrences. {n,m} Finds the number of occurrences from 'n' to 'm'. Note: The above examples employ a comma as a list separator {n,m} - for languages that use alternative list separators, substitute the local separator character (often a semi-colon {n;m}) as appropriate. Counting can be used with individual characters or more usefully with sets of characters e.g. [deno]{4} will match done, node, eden) or bracketed groups: (ts, ){3} will match ts, ts, ts, . (Unfortunately, there is no wildcard to search for "zero or more occurrences" in Word wildcard searches; [!^13]{0,} does not work). ( ) Round brackets have no effect on the search pattern, but are used to divide the pattern into logical sequences, where you wish to re-assemble those sequences in a different order during the replace - or to replace only part of that sequence. They must be used in pairs. The partnering backslash character is used as a replacement string in conjunction with a number to indicate which pair of brackets numbered from the left is required e.g. (John) (Smith) replaced by \2 \1 - note the spaces in the search and replace strings - will produce Smith John or replaced by \2 alone will give Smith. The placeholders \1, \2 etc., can also be used in the search string to identify recurring text. e.g. Fred Fred could be written (Fred) \1. \ If you wish to search for a character that has a special meaning in wildcard searches - the obvious example being '?'. then you can do so by putting a backslash in front of it: [\?] will find the question mark character '?' If you wish to find the backslash itself then you need to precede that with a backslash [\\]. The following is a list of the characters that have a special meaning in wildcard searches ( [ ] { } < > ( ) - @ ? ! * \ ) See also 'Gremlins to be aware of (for advanced users only)' at the end of this page Gotchas . You may wish to identify a character string by means of a paragraph mark ¶. The normal search string for this would be ^p. ^p DOES NOT WORK in wildcard search strings! It must however be used in replacement strings, but when searching, you must look for the substitute code ^13. Wildcard searches will also not find footnote/endnote marks - substitute ^2. A-z would be expected to reproduce all the letters between A and z i.e. both upper case and lower case letters, which it does, but it reproduces all the characters from ASCII 65 to ASCII 122, and that block also includes the characters [ ] ` ^ _ / Use A-Za-z instead. The question mark ? is used to find individual characters. If used with curly brackets to define a range of characters eg

The upper codes were used for OS-specific, localized, or vendor-specific stuff. When DOS code pages were replaced by Windows code pages, a leading zero was used to indicated the difference. Thus ^32 and ^032 will both represent a space character, but ^147 will represent ô and ^0147 will represent “ ^0nnn See above (Produces ASCII on Macintosh). ^unnnn Unicode character search where "n" is a decimal number corresponding to the Unicode character value. Note: Instructions on how to identify the required decimal number are included at the end of this page. Note: To search for a specific field, such as an XE (Index Entry) field, use the following syntax: ^19 field name Putting it into practice Example 1. There are many occasions when you are presented with blocks of text or numbers etc., where the order of the text is not what you might require in the final document. Swapping the placement of forename and surname as above is one such example - and don't forget you can add to the replacement, even when using bracketed replacements e.g. you may wish John Smith to appear as Smith, John or, more likely, you may have a column of names in a table, where you wish to exchange all the surnames with all the forenames. You could do them one at a time, but by replacing the names with wildcards, you can do the lot in one pass. Let's then break up the names into logical sequences that can only represent the names. At its simplest, we have here two words - John and Smith. They can be represented by <*>[space]<*> - where [space] is a single press of the spacebar. Add the round brackets (<*>)[space](<*>) and replace with \2[space]\1 Run the search on the column of names and all are swapped. Run it again and they are swapped back. If you get it wrong, remember that Word's 'undo' function (CTRL+Z) is very powerful and has a long memory! Example 2 This could be the changing of UK format dates to US format dates - or vice versa. 7th August 2001 to August 7th, 2001 To give an example of how most of the wildcards could be used in one search sequence to find any UK date formatted above to its equivalent US format date, the following search pattern will do the trick: [0-9]{1,2}[dhnrst]{2} <[AFJMNSOD]*>[0-9]{4} Breaking it down [0-9] looks for any single digit number, but dates can have two numbers so to restrict that to two, we use the count function. We want to find dates with 1 or 2 numbers so [0-9]{1,2} Next bit is the ordinal 'th' - Ordinals will be 'st' 'rd' or 'th' so identify those letters specifically: [dhnrst] There will always be two letters, so restrict the count to 2 [dhnrst]{2} Next comes the space. You can insert a space [space] The month always begins with one of the following capital letters - AFJMNSOD. We don't know how many letters this month has so we can use the blanket '*' to represent the rest. And we are only interested in that word so we will tie it down with <> brackets. <[AFJMNSOD]*> there's another space [space] followed by the year. The years here have four numbers so [0-9]{4} Finally add the round brackets to provide a logical breakup of the sequence ([0-9]{1,2}[dhnrst]{2})[space](<[AFJMNSOD]*>)[space]([0-9]{4}) and replace with \2[space]\1,[space]\3 to re-order the sequence. Example 3 Assume you are parsing addresses and wish to separate the honorific from the name. American usage puts a full stop (period) at the end ("Mr.", "Mrs.", "Dr.") while British usage often omits the full stop. ([DM][rs]{1,2})( ) will find Mr Mrs Dr without the stop and \1.\2 will put one in. or vice versa ([DM][rs]{1,2}). will find Mr. Mrs. Dr. with the stop and \1 will take it out. Further examples: (*^13)\1\1 will match any sequence of three identical paragraphs, (*^13)@ will match any number of replacement paragraphs. Replace with \1 to remove duplicates from a sorted list. \<([!\<\>]@)\>[!\<\>]@\</\1\> will match any well-formed XML element including start-tag and end-tag (“some text ” or “<customer-name>John Smith</customer-name>”)By creating logical sequences you can search for almost any combinations of characters. Gremlins to be aware of (for advanced users only) Sometimes Word will get confused if it encounters “escaped” brackets \( or \), for example “(\\)” will match *any* character, not only a backslash Workaround: use "([" instead. ([a-z]\() throws an error - should find an "a(". Workaround: Use ([a-z][\(]) instead. Not a bug but still annoying: You have to escape any special character even if you type its code; so ^92 will have the same problems as typing the backslash. The construction {0,} (find zero or more of the preceding item) is refused as incorrect syntax. This concept is available in Unix regular expression matching, so it's a curious omission. You don’t always have to “escape” the special characters, if the context makes it clear that the special meaning isn’t wanted. [abc-] matches "-", and [)(] matches ")" or "(". This may sometimes make your searches behave differently from what you expected. Establish the unicode decimal number for a character When searching for a symbol from the extended character set using its unicode decimal number i.e. ^unnnn you first need to identify that number. First select the first example of the character (e.g. the Cyrillic character ю in the document, then activate the Insert > Symbol dialog. The dialog opens with the character selected: Note the Unicode (hex) character code number - here 044E. Open the Windows calculator and change its view to the Programmer's calculator, ensure that the Hex radio button is checked and enter the number into the calculator. In some earlier Windows versions, the calculator has a different layout. The 'hex' and 'dec' conversion buttons are in the Scientific calculator view. Click the Dec radio button and note the changed number You can then use the four digit number in conjunction with the ^unnn (^u1102) to find the characters in the document. Macro to identify the four digit number indicated above The following macro will identify and copy the value of the character at the cursor to the clipboard, for ease of pasting into the find and replace tool's 'Find what' dialog. If you don't know how to use macro listings, see https://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. Note that the following macro requires a reference to the Microsoft Forms 2 Object Library to be checked in the vba editor tools > references (see following illustration). |

Noam Chomsky Has No Opinion on Building 7
Noam Chomsky Schools 9/11 Truther; Explains the Science of Making Credible Claims https://www.openculture.com/2013/10/noam-chomsky-derides-911-truthers.html
Part 1: Noam Chomsky Has No Opinion on Building 7
00:08
all right
00:10
now thanks for coming uh
00:13
you've mentioned quite a few
00:14
contradictions from the media and their
00:17
presentation on things
00:18
and i think the most uh notorious case
00:21
of this
00:22
is with september 11 2001.
00:25
you mentioned in a forum on z-net
00:28
in 2006 that you wanted to see a
00:32
consensus of
00:33
engineers and specialists that
00:35
understand the actual structures of
00:37
these buildings and their possible
00:39
collapse
00:40
and there is such a group and i'm here
00:42
to tell you about that and ask you a
00:43
follow-up question
00:45
it's called architects and engineers for
00:47
9 11
00:48
truth there's a consensus of over two
00:50
thousand dollars right
00:51
is this a question i'm asking a question
00:55
i'm setting it up thank you
00:57
this consensus shows that building seven
00:59
the third building that fell on 911 fell
01:02
in free fall speed as this report
01:04
acknowledges
01:05
are you ready to come forward and jump
01:06
on board with 911 i know you've
01:08
mentioned it's a distraction but there's
01:10
no better case
01:11
of the media covering up things than not
01:14
presenting building seven that third
01:16
building we've all seen the other towers
01:18
fall but what about building seven gnome
01:20
well in fact uh you're right that
01:23
there's a consensus among a
01:25
minuscule number of architects and
01:28
engineers
01:29
tiny number their couple of them are
01:31
perfectly serious
01:33
they are not doing what scientists and
01:36
engineers do
01:37
when they think they've discovered
01:39
something what you do
01:42
when you think you've discovered
01:43
something what you do
01:45
is write articles and scientific
01:47
journals
01:48
gift talks at the professional societies
01:51
that go to the civil engineering
01:53
department at mit
01:55
or florida or wherever you are and
01:58
present your
01:59
results and then proceed to try to
02:03
convince
02:04
the national academies the professional
02:07
society
02:08
of physicists and civil engineers the
02:11
departments and the major universities
02:13
convince them that you've discovered
02:15
something
02:16
now there happened to be a lot of people
02:17
around who spent
02:19
an hour on the internet and think they
02:21
know a lot of physics
02:22
but it doesn't work like that there's a
02:24
reason why there are
02:28
i mean there's a reason there's a math
02:31
finish
02:31
there's a reason why there are graduate
02:33
schools in these departments and
02:35
and research so the thing to do is
02:38
pretty straightforward
02:40
do what scientists and engineers do who
02:43
think they've made a discovery
02:45
now when this is brought up as it has
02:47
been
02:48
uh there are one or two minor articles
02:51
like this one article that appeared in
02:53
an online
02:55
journal which claims to have found
02:58
where someone claims to have found
03:00
traces of nanothermite
03:02
in building seven i don't know what that
03:05
means
03:06
you don't know what that means uh but if
03:08
it means anything
03:10
bring it to the attention of the
03:11
scientific community that's
03:13
a couple of other fragments like that so
03:16
yes
03:17
there are there's a small group of
03:19
people who believe this
03:21
and there's a straightforward way to
03:23
proceed now when this is brought up
03:25
there's a standard reaction
03:27
scientists and engineers and
03:29
professional societies and
03:31
physicists are so intimidated by the
03:34
government
03:35
that they're afraid to take to they
03:37
don't have the courage to take this
03:39
position
03:41
anyone who has any part record of part
03:45
any familiarity with political activism
03:48
knows that this is one of the safest
03:50
things you can do
03:51
it's almost riskless people take risks
03:55
far beyond this constantly including
03:58
scientists and engineers
04:00
i could have run through and can run
04:02
through
04:03
many examples i mean you know is it kind
04:06
of a
04:06
maybe people laugh at you but that's
04:08
about it
04:09
it's an almost riskless position so that
04:12
can't be the reason why nobody's
04:14
convinced
04:15
however there's a much more deeper issue
04:18
which has been brought up
04:19
repeatedly and i have yet to hear a
04:21
response to it
04:23
there happens to be whatever one thinks
04:25
about building seven
04:26
frankly i have no opinion i i don't know
04:29
as much uh science and engineering as
04:33
the people who believe that they have an
04:34
answer to this
04:36
so i am willing to let the professional
04:40
societies
04:41
determine it if they get the information
04:43
so whatever the facts
04:45
there's just overwhelming evidence that
04:47
the bush administration wasn't involved
04:50
very elementary evidence you don't have
04:53
to be a physicist to understand it
Bush was not involved with 9/11
04:56
you just have to think for a minute okay
04:59
so let's think for a minute the
05:05
there's a couple of facts which are
05:06
uncontroversial right
05:09
one fact that is uncontroversial is that
05:12
the bush administration
05:13
desperately wanted to invade iraq that's
05:16
a long-standing goal it's good reasons
05:19
for it
05:20
the second largest energy resources in
05:23
the world
05:24
right in the middle of the world's major
05:26
energy producing region you know
05:27
perfectly obvious reasons
05:29
which they in fact later stated but they
05:31
were obvious anyway
05:32
so they wanted to invade iraq one
05:34
uncontroversial fact
05:36
second uncontroversial fact they didn't
05:39
blame the
05:40
911 on iraqis they blamed it on saudis
05:45
mainly that's their major ally so they
05:48
blamed it
05:49
on people from their major ally
05:52
not on the country that they wanted to
05:54
invade
05:55
a third uncontroversial fact unless
05:58
they're total
05:59
lunatics they would have blamed it on
06:01
iraqis
06:02
if they were involved in any way that
06:05
would have given them
06:07
a open season on invading iraq
06:10
a total support international support
06:14
a u.n resolution no need to
06:17
concoct wild stories about
06:21
the weapons of mass destruction and
06:23
contacts between saddam and al-qaeda
06:26
which of course quickly exploded
06:27
discrediting them
06:29
no reason to invade afghanistan which
06:31
mostly a waste of time for them
06:33
but they didn't well the
06:37
conclusion is pretty straightforward
06:39
either they are total lunatics
06:42
or they weren't involved and they're not
06:44
total lunatics
06:45
so whatever you think about building
06:47
seven there are other considerations to
06:49
be
06:50
concerned with all right i think our
06:53
speaker
06:54
answered that question succinctly so
06:56
that's the

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Noam Chomsky Has No Opinion on Building 7
Noam Chomsky Schools 9/11 Truther; Explains the Science of Making Credible Claims https://www.openculture.com/2013/10/noam-chomsky-derides-911-truthers.html
Part 1: Noam Chomsky Has No Opinion on Building 7
00:08
all right
00:10
now thanks for coming uh
00:13
you've mentioned quite a few
00:14
contradictions from the media and their
00:17
presentation on things
00:18
and i think the most uh notorious case
00:21
of this
00:22
is with september 11 2001.
00:25
you mentioned in a forum on z-net
00:28
in 2006 that you wanted to see a
00:32
consensus of
00:33
engineers and specialists that
00:35
understand the actual structures of
00:37
these buildings and their possible
00:39
collapse
00:40
and there is such a group and i'm here
00:42
to tell you about that and ask you a
00:43
follow-up question
00:45
it's called architects and engineers for
00:47
9 11
00:48
truth there's a consensus of over two
00:50
thousand dollars right
00:51
is this a question i'm asking a question
00:55
i'm setting it up thank you
00:57
this consensus shows that building seven
00:59
the third building that fell on 911 fell
01:02
in free fall speed as this report
01:04
acknowledges
01:05
are you ready to come forward and jump
01:06
on board with 911 i know you've
01:08
mentioned it's a distraction but there's
01:10
no better case
01:11
of the media covering up things than not
01:14
presenting building seven that third
01:16
building we've all seen the other towers
01:18
fall but what about building seven gnome
01:20
well in fact uh you're right that
01:23
there's a consensus among a
01:25
minuscule number of architects and
01:28
engineers
01:29
tiny number their couple of them are
01:31
perfectly serious
01:33
they are not doing what scientists and
01:36
engineers do
01:37
when they think they've discovered
01:39
something what you do
01:42
when you think you've discovered
01:43
something what you do
01:45
is write articles and scientific
01:47
journals
01:48
gift talks at the professional societies
01:51
that go to the civil engineering
01:53
department at mit
01:55
or florida or wherever you are and
01:58
present your
01:59
results and then proceed to try to
02:03
convince
02:04
the national academies the professional
02:07
society
02:08
of physicists and civil engineers the
02:11
departments and the major universities
02:13
convince them that you've discovered
02:15
something
02:16
now there happened to be a lot of people
02:17
around who spent
02:19
an hour on the internet and think they
02:21
know a lot of physics
02:22
but it doesn't work like that there's a
02:24
reason why there are
02:28
i mean there's a reason there's a math
02:31
finish
02:31
there's a reason why there are graduate
02:33
schools in these departments and
02:35
and research so the thing to do is
02:38
pretty straightforward
02:40
do what scientists and engineers do who
02:43
think they've made a discovery
02:45
now when this is brought up as it has
02:47
been
02:48
uh there are one or two minor articles
02:51
like this one article that appeared in
02:53
an online
02:55
journal which claims to have found
02:58
where someone claims to have found
03:00
traces of nanothermite
03:02
in building seven i don't know what that
03:05
means
03:06
you don't know what that means uh but if
03:08
it means anything
03:10
bring it to the attention of the
03:11
scientific community that's
03:13
a couple of other fragments like that so
03:16
yes
03:17
there are there's a small group of
03:19
people who believe this
03:21
and there's a straightforward way to
03:23
proceed now when this is brought up
03:25
there's a standard reaction
03:27
scientists and engineers and
03:29
professional societies and
03:31
physicists are so intimidated by the
03:34
government
03:35
that they're afraid to take to they
03:37
don't have the courage to take this
03:39
position
03:41
anyone who has any part record of part
03:45
any familiarity with political activism
03:48
knows that this is one of the safest
03:50
things you can do
03:51
it's almost riskless people take risks
03:55
far beyond this constantly including
03:58
scientists and engineers
04:00
i could have run through and can run
04:02
through
04:03
many examples i mean you know is it kind
04:06
of a
04:06
maybe people laugh at you but that's
04:08
about it
04:09
it's an almost riskless position so that
04:12
can't be the reason why nobody's
04:14
convinced
04:15
however there's a much more deeper issue
04:18
which has been brought up
04:19
repeatedly and i have yet to hear a
04:21
response to it
04:23
there happens to be whatever one thinks
04:25
about building seven
04:26
frankly i have no opinion i i don't know
04:29
as much uh science and engineering as
04:33
the people who believe that they have an
04:34
answer to this
04:36
so i am willing to let the professional
04:40
societies
04:41
determine it if they get the information
04:43
so whatever the facts
04:45
there's just overwhelming evidence that
04:47
the bush administration wasn't involved
04:50
very elementary evidence you don't have
04:53
to be a physicist to understand it
Bush was not involved with 9/11
04:56
you just have to think for a minute okay
04:59
so let's think for a minute the
05:05
there's a couple of facts which are
05:06
uncontroversial right
05:09
one fact that is uncontroversial is that
05:12
the bush administration
05:13
desperately wanted to invade iraq that's
05:16
a long-standing goal it's good reasons
05:19
for it
05:20
the second largest energy resources in
05:23
the world
05:24
right in the middle of the world's major
05:26
energy producing region you know
05:27
perfectly obvious reasons
05:29
which they in fact later stated but they
05:31
were obvious anyway
05:32
so they wanted to invade iraq one
05:34
uncontroversial fact
05:36
second uncontroversial fact they didn't
05:39
blame the
05:40
911 on iraqis they blamed it on saudis
05:45
mainly that's their major ally so they
05:48
blamed it
05:49
on people from their major ally
05:52
not on the country that they wanted to
05:54
invade
05:55
a third uncontroversial fact unless
05:58
they're total
05:59
lunatics they would have blamed it on
06:01
iraqis
06:02
if they were involved in any way that
06:05
would have given them
06:07
a open season on invading iraq
06:10
a total support international support
06:14
a u.n resolution no need to
06:17
concoct wild stories about
06:21
the weapons of mass destruction and
06:23
contacts between saddam and al-qaeda
06:26
which of course quickly exploded
06:27
discrediting them
06:29
no reason to invade afghanistan which
06:31
mostly a waste of time for them
06:33
but they didn't well the
06:37
conclusion is pretty straightforward
06:39
either they are total lunatics
06:42
or they weren't involved and they're not
06:44
total lunatics
06:45
so whatever you think about building
06:47
seven there are other considerations to
06:49
be
06:50
concerned with all right i think our
06:53
speaker
06:54
answered that question succinctly so
06:56
that's the

Business Negotiations Between Americans and RussiansLouneva, Tanya, "Business Negotiations Between Americans and Russians" (2010). Wharton Research Scholars. 57. https://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1059&context=wharton_research_scholars Both Americans and Russians value:
There are some differences between the negotiating styles of Russians and Americans. For instance, Russians may rely more on interpersonal relationships and indirect communications. Russians are emotionally-driven in negotiations. Russia has a low-trust environment, because it is a high context culture. This could be due to a weak regulatory environment, historical constraints, and rising disposable income levels. Therefore, the key in negotiations in Russia is to built trust. After this is done, a competitive advantage is gained since it will take a long time to build a level of trust with another partner. Americans have a high-trust environment, because it is a low-context culture, as there is a strong regulatory framework and a history of law enforcement. Therefore, building trust is easier, and it is not viewed as a competitive advantage; instead, counterparties often rely more on the signed contracts than on mutual trust. In Russia, the establishment of trust is exhibited through five behaviors:
Focus on building a relationship firstAs a general rule of thumb, investing extra time developing a relationship-based approach will pay dividends when working with Russians. This is true even if you both come from task-based cultures, such as the United States and Germany. Once an affective relationship is established, the forgiveness for any cultural missteps you make comes a lot easier. So when you work internationally, no matter who you are working with, investing more time in building affective trust is a good idea. But knowing exactly how to build affective trust may not always be so obvious. One productive way to start putting trust deposits in the bank is by building on common interests. An Austrian used this simple way of connecting with people to great success during two decades of work in Russia.
The younger man worked diligently for months to close an attractive deal with a potential client. He invested countless hours in making his presentation outstanding, his brochures polished, and his offer generous and transparent. Yet the client dragged his feet, and, six months into the process, his interest seemed to be dwindling. At this point, the younger man called the elder Austrian up and asked for advice, given the latter’s success during all those years in Russia. The Austiran came to Moscow and met directly with the client:
At 10:00 a.m. the next day, the elder Austrian met again with the client, who said, “I’ve looked through your proposal, I understand your situation, and I agree with your terms. I have to get someone else to sign the contract, but if you would like to take the plane back to Austria today I will fax you the signed contract this afternoon.” When the elder Austrian arrived at his office in Austria the next Monday morning, the €2 million down payment was already in his account. He was able to accomplish more in twenty-four hours with a relationship-based approach than his task-based colleague was able to accomplish in six months. You might protest that this Austrian was remarkably lucky. Just by chance, he happened to have several things in common with his Russian client, from grandchildren to fighter planes, and in fact, The older Austrian did end his account by exclaiming, “It was my white hair that saved me!” But he found these similarities because he was looking for them. If you are working with someone from a relationship-based culture and opportunities for a personal connection don’t jump out at you, it is worth the investment to look a little harder.[2] Russian Business Meeting CharacteristicsRussian Business Meeting Characteristics There are a few ground rules you should be aware of about a Russian business meeting: 1. Timeliness: While Russians are not as prompt as Germans, Russians are rather prompt. So being 5 minutes late is ok, anything later needs an excuse. Preferably by calling ahead. For example, "We are stuck in traffic". Being 30-40 or more minutes late without a very good reason, such as the Italians or Spaniards tend to do, is considered very bad manners. Note: If during the meeting you agree to set due dates or deadlines, be sure to accomplish them by the agreed upon date. Everything during the meeting will be set down in writing in the Minutes of Meeting and not meeting due dates is a major blow to one's credibility and reliability in Russia. 2. Inclusiveness It is considered very rude to turn your back on someone while continuing your conversation with another person in the group...one to remember for non-Russians who have no such issues. This additionally means, turning to your co-workers, and beginning a conversation in a separate language not understood by everyone. This is also considered very rude. If the need arises to have such a discussion, request some time alone, a break from the meeting and maybe a separate room to do so in. 3. Emotions: While getting into an emotionally "hot" discussion can happen, never over do it. Never get personal and never ever ever throw a temper tantrum and walk out. The author had an Engineering - Procurement - Construction (EPC) project manager who would do this. He had zero respect from the other side who had to beg him to return. This is viewed as unmanly and childish. 4. Shaking Hands: Shake hands with everyone and anyone who enters the room after the start and before you hand out or receive business cards individually. When leaving also shake everyone's hand. Walking by some person who stops to talk to someone in your party? Shake his hand. And make it a firm hand shake. Additionally, women shake hands also, so not to shake the hand of a woman is a grave insult. 5. If a woman enters the room to join the meeting? Get up and show respect, as if it was a senior person, and since 42% of Russian executives are women (twice that of the "progressive" West) it just may be. Additionally, if there are no more seats, surrender yours to the woman. 6. Bargain Hard Russian price negotiations used to be described as something between a mugging and a bar fight. Its gotten a bit more civilized but....The author recalls remembering fighting a supplier over each 0.01$ of a price on forgings. The 2 groupsfinally agreed to limit it to just full round dollars or they would never get it done. This resulted in a 15% savings from already low prices which saved the author's company several million dollars. 7. Never take an initial response of "NO IT CANT BE DONE" as the final answer. If the junior or secondary management says no, go straight to the senior leadership. If they say yes it will be yes. Equally, since Russian culture is conservative, use your persuasion skills to sell the idea, either by its merits or by its profitability. 8. Figure out who the trusted lieutenant of the general director is. Russian chain of commands are linier except for that special lieutenant who has the ear of the boss. 9. Meetings must come to some decisions... ....why else are you in a meeting (except if its just an introductory meeting). People around the equator like to have meetings for the sake of meetings and no decisions are reached, this is very infuriating to Russians. Most meetings usually have a set agenda and the agenda is set to come to a decision. 10. All meetings will end in a Minutes of the Meeting (MoM) with all parties involved signing. Sometimes getting the MoM done takes longer than the whole meeting and all parties most definitely must sign it, so be careful what actually goes in to it, as this is a legal document.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

http://www.rg.ru Rossiyskaya Gazeta] (RG) is the Russian government’s “paper of record” – meaning that the Russian government is required by law to publish new laws in the mass media and Rossiyskaya Gazeta is the paper in which it does so.

http://www.trud.ru/ Trud] was once a flagship of Communist ideology. By 2005, it was fully owned by Media 3 (see Media Conglomerates, below).

Gorbachev, with liberal oligarch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lebedev Alexander Lebedev], still owns 49% of the paper. The remaining 51% is owned by the newspaper staff. Known for oppositionist political reporting, the paper is known for the number of its journalists that have been assassinated (including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Politkovskaya Anna Politkovskaya] and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Markelov Stanislav Markelov]). It is printed thrice weekly with a total of 123,400 copies printed each week.
http://lgz.ru/ Literaturnaya Gazeta] was first founded in 1830 by a literary group led by Alexander Pushkin.

Today, without the massive Soviet subsidies, the paper prints weekly runs of just 113,800. Its focus is on literature (and itself publishes some stories and poems), news about literature and art, and also it also runs political and social commentary. It is owned and operated by a non-profit group of the same name that is specifically devoted to publishing the paper.

RG also covers politics, business, and culture. It is a daily publication with print runs of 132,000 as of December 2016. RG-Nedelya, a weekly sister publication, runs at nearly 3.3 million copies. Both publications are directly owned by the Russian government.
http://vmdaily.ru/ Vchernaya Moskva] has the largest single weekly circulation of any newspaper in Moscow. Supported by the Moscow City Government as a “city newspaper of influence” (meant to disseminate the opinion of the city authorities) since 2011, Vchernaya Moskva publishes nearly one million newspapers in the capital every week. These are spread over three formats: a daily; a weekend edition; and a twice-weekly that is available for free in Moscow’s subway system. Emphasis is on business, government social programs and regulations, and culture in the city. Politics and society are also covered.
http://www.kommersant.ru Kommersant] focuses on business and politics. Originally owned by opposition-minded investors, the paper is now owned by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alisher_Usmanov Alisher Usmanov], known as a Kremlin-friendly oligarch. There have been some editorial clashes between Usmanov and the paper, although it does largely retain a reputation as independent. It has daily print runs of about 120,000.
http://www.rbcdaily.ru/ RBK Daily] is known for business coverage, but also covers other subjects. Its daily print runs are about 80,000. It is owned by the media group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBK_Group RosBusinessKonsulting], a publicly traded company that is majority owned by Cyprus-based Praga Ltd. which is controlled by http://www.onexim.org/ Onexim Group]; all of which previously controlled by famous liberal oligarch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Prokhorov Mikhael Prokhorov]. In July, 2021, RBK Daily came https://ria.ru/20210711/turkmeniya-1740838427.html under fire] from the Ministry of Health and Medical Industry of Turkmenistan, due to a claimed number of reports grossly misrepresenting the country’s handling of COVID-19, and supposed movement of Turkmen troops on the Afghan border.
http://www.vedomosti.ru/ Vedomosti] is daily paper with print runs of about https://cdn5.vedomosti.ru/application/2020/4c/13lfwp/original-1fbd.pdf 150,000]. It is owned by businessman Ivan Yeremin via his holding company Sapport and includes translated news from the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Moscow Times, as well as original reporting. In March of 2020, a controversy began over the publication’s new editor-in-chief and accusations of censorship to suit pro-government narratives. In June of 2020 much of the senior staff left Vedomosti to found the now defunct online publication known as “https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTimes VTimes].”
http://www.mk.ru/ Moskovskii Komsomolets] was once the official paper of the Moscow’s official communist youth group. It is still published every day but Sunday and is one of the most affordable papers on the market (30-50 cents).

It’s now one of Russia’s https://advert.kp.ru/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0-%D0%9A%D0%9F-6.2021-1.pdf largest tabloid-format] newspapers, printing about 600,000 daily copies and about two million weekly “fat editions” inside Russia (and nearly one million more outside of Russia).

http://www.metronews.ru/ Metro] is a free, international tabloid based in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_International Luxembourg] and published in localized editions in major cities. All revenue comes from advertising. Its Russian editions are published daily in Moscow (450,000 print runs) and St. Petersburg (330,000 print runs) as well as weekly in other cities like Kazan (280,000), Ekaterinburg (100,000), and other cities.

http://www.izvestia.ru/ Izvestia] was a paper of record for the USSR.

The paper was shrunk in size and staff and became more oriented towards business and culture. It now has print runs in Russia of about 72,000. Chaired by businessman and journalist http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2,_%D0%90%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC_%D0%90%D1%88%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 Aram Gabrelyanov] (see Lifenews.ru under “Internet Only,” below).
http://www.trud.ru/ Trud] was once a flagship of Communist ideology. By 2005, it was fully owned by Media 3 (see Media Conglomerates, below). Advertising revenues declined as the owners tried to rebrand one of Russia’s oldest newspapers for a younger audience. It was eventually sold to The Society of Free Journalists, an organization controlled by Sergei Tsoi, a former press secretary for former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov. Tsoi also once managed many of the extensive media holdings of the Moscow City Government (see “Media Conglomerates” below). Trud is published weekly with print runs of 85,000.
http://www.ng.ru/ Nezavisimaya Gazeta] was once owned by The Berezovsky Media Group (owned by former oligarch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Berezovsky_(businessman) Boris Berezovsky]).

The paper is known for its opposition political and social reporting. It is published weekly with print runs of 40,000.
http://www.novayagazeta.ru/ Novaya Gazeta] was opened in 1993 by Mikhail Gorbachev using money from his 1990 Nobel Peace Prize. Gorbachev, with liberal oligarch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lebedev Alexander Lebedev], still owns 49% of the paper. The remaining 51% is owned by the newspaper staff. Known for oppositionist political reporting, the paper is known for the number of its journalists that have been assassinated (including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Politkovskaya Anna Politkovskaya] and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Markelov Stanislav Markelov]). It is printed thrice weekly with a total of 123,400 copies printed each week.
http://lgz.ru/ Literaturnaya Gazeta] was first founded in 1830 by a literary group led by Alexander Pushkin. It became a staple of Soviet life and by 1989, it ran in print runs of 6.5 million, one of the largest of any newspaper ever. Today, without the massive Soviet subsidies, the paper prints weekly runs of just 113,800. Its focus is on literature (and itself publishes some stories and poems), news about literature and art, and also it also runs political and social commentary. It is owned and operated by a non-profit group of the same name that is specifically devoted to publishing the paper.

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Why do They Hate Us? Origins of Anti-Americanism A Framework for Analysis
Content</div>
English Introduction
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) research paper.
Why do they hate us? After 9/11, this question was heard throughout American media. Despite the interest about Anti-Americanism in the popular journalism, academic literature on the subject of Anti-Americanism has been surprising limited. While the limited research around Anti-Americanism has focused on which country's citizens are Anti-American and/or has attempted to quantify what Anti-Americanism is, little existing research has explained the social and economic factors which cause Anti-Americanism. This paper will seek to understand key cultural drivers that have fostered Anti-American sentiment. While outside the scope of this research, these results may contribute to a critical reassessment of the deep-seated roots of third world rage, and help avert future terrorist attack on United States interests.
Conclusion
This study sought to identify at a broad level, significant factors that have led to Anti-Americanism in many of the world's countries. The research first analyzed the impact of economic independent variables followed by economic aid and US troop levels. In summary, only military aid and sales showed a strong significant relationship to Anti-Americanism.
RUSSIAN excerpt (РУССКИЙ отрывок)
Почему они ненавидят нас?
Происхождение анти-американизма:
Почему они ненавидят нас? После 11 сентября этот вопрос прозвучал во всех американских СМИ. Несмотря на интерес к антиамериканизму в популярной журналистике, академическая литература по теме антиамериканизма оказалась удивительно ограниченной. В то время как ограниченные исследования вокруг антиамериканизма были сосредоточены на том, какие граждане страны являются антиамериканцами и / или пытались количественно определить, что такое антиамериканизм, мало существующих исследований объяснили социальные и экономические факторы, которые вызывают антиамериканизм. В этой статье мы попытаемся понять основные культурные факторы, которые способствовали развитию антиамериканских настроений. Хотя эти результаты и выходят за рамки настоящего исследования, они могут способствовать критической переоценке глубинных корней ярости третьего мира и помочь предотвратить будущие террористические нападения на Соединенные Штаты.
Вывод
Это исследование было направлено на выявление на широком уровне существенных факторов, которые привели к антиамериканизму во многих странах мира. В ходе исследования сначала анализировалось влияние экономических независимых переменных, а затем - экономическая помощь и численность американских войск. Таким образом, только военная помощь и продажи демонстрировали сильную значимую связь с антиамериканизмом.Обзор существующей литературы.
В исследовании 1992 года на тему антиамериканизма Смит и Вертман (1992: 188) заметили, что «хотя антиамериканизм уже давно вызывает обеспокоенность у СМИ и политиков США», антиамериканизм игнорируется учеными. Почти два десятилетия спустя, и несмотря на атаки 11 сентября и феноменальный рост антиамериканских настроений по всему миру, это утверждение все еще остается верным (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 3). Ученые считают причиной отсутствия внимания три фактора. Первый фактор заключается в том, что антиамериканизм - это неоднозначный термин, который трудно осмыслить (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3). Во-вторых, антиамериканизмом чаще называют эмоции, которые являются реакцией на какое-либо событие, чем используют как определение самих событий. Там, где другие темы социальных наук находят аналитиков и аналогии, антиамериканизм должен бороться с крестоносцами (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3; Миллер, 1982, стр. 3). Последний фактор американская коллективная амнезия, человеческая тенденция перекладывать вину на удобные абстракции и культурное чувство невиновности (Мак Ферсон, Миллер (McPherson, 2004, 148; Miller, 1982), стр. 253).
Джонсон (2006: 10) заявляет, что большинство антиамериканской литературы явно имеет свой посыл, и почти все антиамериканские ученые разделяются на два лагеря. Одна группа ученых утверждает, что виноваты политики Соединенных Штатов и что Соединенные Штаты ненавидят за то, что они делают и их внешнюю политику и действия, «внешняя» причина (с. 10). Вторая группа ученых, заявляет, что антиамериканизм является иррациональным поведением, что антиамериканизм происходит от психологических, культурных или политических аспектов нации, граждане которой проявляют антиамериканизм. Эти авторы предполагают, что граждане других стран ненавидят Соединенные Штаты за то, чем они являются, «внутренняя» причина. (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 10; Schlapentokh & Woods, 2004, стр. 167). Джонстон (2006: 5) утверждает, что «несмотря на то, что это притворяется законной социальной наукой, основная масса этой литературы в значительной степени не более чем тонко завуалированная пропаганда, которая поразительно (и тревожно) похожа на литературу, выпущенную сторонниками правого крыла и комментаторами консерваторов" . Наиболее известный внутренний взгляд - «Столкновение цивилизаций» Хантингтона (1996: 15).
Хантингтон полагает, что существует непреодолимая пропасть между Западом и его ценностями и Исламом и его ценностями. Недавние исследования основаны на этой внутренней гипотезе.

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Send an out of office message
Send automatic out of office replies from Outlook
You can only send automatic out-of-office replies using these steps if you have an Office 365, Outlook.com, or Exchange account. For all other email accounts, see Forward and redirect email automatically.
1.Select File > Automatic Replies.
Automatic replies
2.In the Automatic Replies box, select Send automatic replies.
Optionally, set a date range for your automatic replies. This will turn off automatic replies at the date and time you enter for the end time. Otherwise, you'll need to turn off automatic replies manually.
Note: If you don't see Automatic Replies, you're probably using Outlook with a POP or IMAP account. See Forward and redirect email automatically for instructions on setting up automatic replies.
3.On the Inside My Organization tab, type the response that you want to send to teammates or colleagues while you are out of the office.
Enter your automatic reply message
Note: Sending automatic replies to anyone outside my organization will send your automatic reply to every email, including newsletters, advertisements, and potentially, junk email. If you want to send automatic replies to those outside your organization, we recommend choosing My contacts only.
4.Select OK to save your settings.
Turn off automatic out-of-office replies
When Outlook is setup to send automatic replies, you'll see a message under the ribbon with this information. Select Turn off to disable automatic out-of-office replies. If you want to modify the dates for your automatic reply or the message sent, use the steps above to modify your settings. Turn off automatic replies
Troubleshooting: I don't see Automatic Replies
If you don't see Automatic Replies after selecting File, you're probably using a Gmail, Yahoo, or other POP or IMAP account that doesn't support the Outlook Automatic Replies feature. You can setup a rule that will reply to incoming messages, but only if you leave Outlook running. For more information, see Manage email messages by using rules.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots
The two ways to lock a preference are:
(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies
This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
(2) Autoconfig
This is done by dropping two files: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig
What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

On June 8, 2016, I walked into the main KGB (FSB) building in Moscow and asked for political asylum. I had smuggled a Secret Document from the United States government to Russia which I gave to the KGB (FSB)
Actively seeking Russian political asylum (June 2016)
Background
During Stalin's Great Purges. Lubyanka Building (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubyanka_Building) was the main headquarters of the KGB (NKVD). Many prisoners were tortured in the building and executed. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the KGB was renamed the FSB.
In November 2015, Russian activist Petr Pavlensky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Pavlensky set fire to the door of the infamous FSB (KGB) Lubyanka building.
Walking into the infamous FSB (KGB) Lubyanka building (June 8?, 2016)
Security tensions in this infamous building were high by June 2016.
On June 8?, 2016, after trying since arrival in Moscow to get the attention of the Russian intelligentsia, I entered this KGB building unannounced and stated that I wanted political asylum to the guard. The guard said he could not help me.
Amazingly, I was able to just walk out of the building and I was not detained.
Lawyer's office across the street from the FSB (KGB)
- 2018 update: As of 2018, this office location has been closed and has been extensively remodeled.
I walked outside into the beautiful sunlight and immediately noticed a lawyer’s office directly across the street at Furkasovsky Lane, 3 (Фуркасовский переулок, 3). It was a pastel lime green building and had an old Soviet style lawyer's (юрист) sign above it - with no company name. The law offices have many names, including Боярцев и Партнеры and https://yandex.ru/maps/org/tsentr_pravovoy_pomoshchi/237725855937/ Legal Aid Center]. Their site: http://www.urpark.ru
I entered the building and requested a lawyer's consultation.
The secretary took me back to met Akob Edyardovich. There were several men in the office. I told him that I had just walked into FSB (KGB) Lubyanka building, this put everyone in the office in a panic. One man looked out the curtain window at the building across the street. They really were surprised. Akob agreed to help me with political asylum.
Contract for political asylum
Contract for political asylum
On June 8, 2016, Akob Edyardovich drew up a contract. For 500,000 rubles (approximately $8000 at the time) Edyardovich would help me get political asylum. I had read in the Moscow Times that it was impossible for Americans to get political asylum, even for Edward Snowden. But the end goal was not political asylum, the end goal was to put my name out their to those in power and show that I was dedicated completely and wholly to Russia.
I returned with 20,000 Rubles later. In another visit, Akob Edyardovich asked me to renounce my family and my ex-wife. I said no I could not.
I was explicitly warned (threatened) by Akob that I many lawyers like me are killed all the time in Russia.[21]
Akob told me not post any political comments on Facebook or social media. In response, I increased the number of Facebook political comments.

On July 11, 2016 I told Darya that I was recording the lawyer meetings by email and had her translate what was said in the meeting. Darya was a personal translator for FSB Lawyers. I met her at a meetup. She was the girlfriend on Nick, who I helped come to America. (See Clips below) |

Offered to teach English in the United State Embassy (June 16, 2016)
- I am 90% certain that Kathleen Zabelin is working closely with the American Embassy. See 2020 American Embassy scandal#Kathleen Zabelin phone call.
On June 10, one day after I met Akob in the lawyers office across the street from the main FSB building, Kathleen Zabelin contacted me.[23]
Kathleen, an American, of the Moscow University of Finance and Law in the high rises of Capital City.
On June 16, I interviewed to teach with her. The job included teaching in the United States Embassy, Zabelin asked if I felt "comfortable" working at the embassy. Zabelin had been married to a Russian for decades. She said she found my profile on Linkedin. She said there was only one other candidate.
As I wrote on Facebook that day:
- "It is patently absurd that someone who works that close to the American embassy would offer me a job. A cursory look at any of my statements on Russian television, my Facebook posts and the thesis papers on my Linkedin profile would show my feelings about American foreign policy."[24]
Walking in to the FSB a second time
In approximately August of 2016 I walked into the FSB building a second time. This time on a side door facing the bookstores. There was a secretaries desk encased in glass.
Return to America
I returned to America on September 15, 2016.

Events before walking into FSB - getting the attention of the FSB (KGB)
Inquiring about the KGB in first television interview (October 2015)
In October 2015 I was on television for the first time. I secretly audio recorded the entire interview. [ADD LINK] In the audio the staff laugh about me being CIA from the start. At the end of the interview I asked how I can get involved or join the KGB.
Threatened to be reported to the FSB by previous employer
Guided around Lubyanka Building after a party on the last day by two students.
American Leftist and former peace hippie states that I should just renounce my citizenship
On February 10, 2016, Karen Porter a very active peace activist during the Iraq War and fellow lawyer I met in Moscow suggested that I revoke my US citizenship because of my criticism of the United States:
- "The US is far from perfect, but I would never go to a much, much less perfect country [Russia] and shame my country. Despite its flaws, the US is far better than most. Here we can and do feel free to criticize just about everything, but I feel that here is where I do that and not in a place where people can only dream of what happened in New Hampshire last night. Again, I don't go abroad to criticize my country, which is only fodder for some very dangerous interests. I will not be used by those interests and will have the freedom and courage to make my comments where they do good, which is here. I do not go abroad with a mistaken notion that I know how to change things where it is none of my business to do so - I will make change at home, where my voice is appropriate."
- "If you feel so strongly, perhaps you should revoke your US citizenship and apply for Russian citizenship. Sounds like the route for you."
Walking off the set of Let's Get Married (April 2016) - Asking for political asylum on camera
Let's Get Married (Давай поженимся, Davay Pozhenimsya: literally "Let's Marry") is a Russian dating program on Channel One Russia.
KGB day celebration (May 28, 2016)
On May 26, 2016 Alexander Babenko (Александр Бабенко) invited me KGB day at a large park in central Moscow.
I had met Alexander Babenko my first week on a 25 kilometer hike. His English was superb. On a later hike, my friend Alina said how surprised how good his English was, because on previous hikes he acted like his English was not very good. He instantly started to invite me to activities and email me a lot.
That day, I told Alexander Babenko that I wanted to join the FSB (KGB). Alexander told me the same thing that every person said and I already knew: It was impossible as an American to join the KGB. That afternoon, Alexander said that there were two types of KGB, one that worked on the border, and one that was security like the FBI/CIA. I told him that I wanted to learn about political asylum. Alexander would not translate my questions and from my American perspective was being very duplicitous. I went around him and found former and current KGB officers who spoke English to answer my questions.
Email to FSB (June 4, 2016)
Hello, My name is Travis Lee Bailey. I am a 44 year old American Lawyer and English Teacher from Washington DC. I am interested in a Russian Passport and becoming a Russian citizen. I would like to teach Russians marketing, law, international relations, sociology, etc. from an American perspective. I am currently on a business visa but my work visa expired. I want to become a Russian Citizen legally. I would like to seek political asylum. I have been on RENTV twice denouncing America, and I was on Давай поженимся - Let's Get Married with Channel One. moscowamerican.com I have thought about coming to your office often. I walked around the building a few months ago in January with three other people from an English Club. I would like to discuss the issue with someone. If I can set up an appointment with an English speaking person in your office, that would be great. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely,

Political Prosecution in America
Political prosecution:
My lawyer Akob asked me in my interview for political asylum if I had ever been refused a job because of my political beliefs. I answered that I never had directly not been hired for my job to my knowledge, but I was open for years about my political beliefs which showed in my work product and published books, and I had been turned down for numerous positions. Often American companies do not explain why they do not hire a candidate.
I returned to America. In March 2018 I had an interview with DH Group @ 4020 700 E, Murray, UT 84107[34] and gave them a large portfolio of my work product. I accidentally included a copy of the cover of my book. On the back of my published book it states:
- Travis Lee Bailey is an American Lawyer who has lived in the former Soviet Union for four years. After smuggling in secret documents from the United States Strategic Command into Russia, he is currently working towards Russian political Asylum.
In a secretly recorded second interview, they refused to give me the job based on this blurb. (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BD0Le4eInV_h0lDxOWnI5vzPeDrrtaPa Audio Here])

subject: Question for you
mailed-by: yahoo.com
Mr. Akob Edyardovich,
It was a pleasure to meet you and your translator Anna, and the other gentlemen yesterday in your office.
I have some questions about my immigration status.
I am uncertain what I am supposed to say and not to say.
I didn't receive any clear guidance other than to come in on Monday at 15:30 to pick up temporary visa.
I have told people only that I am getting temporary residency on Monday.
Is that okay to say?
I also have gotten a lot of work requests recently in the past two days.
Should I turn them down?
What should I reveal or not reveal?
I figure at this point my movements are being observed.
I just want to do this right.
My number is +7-910-472-11-98
Thank you in advance.

PSYOP
The invention of the atomic bomb will cause a shift in the balance between ‘peaceful’ and ‘warlike’ methods of exerting international pressure. And we must expect a very marked increase in the importance of ‘peaceful’ methods. Our enemies will be even freer than [ever] to propagandize, subvert, sabotage and exert . . . pressures upon us, and we ourselves shall be more willing to bear these affronts and ourselves to indulge in such methods—in our eagerness to avoid at all costs the tragedy of open war; ‘peaceful’ techniques will become more vital in times of pre-war softening up, actual overt war, and in times of post-war manipulation.”[1][2]
- Communists have a “strong position in Europe, so immensely superior to our own . . . through unabashed and skillful use of lies. They have fought us with unreality, with irrationalism. Can we combat this unreality successfully with rationalism, with truth, with honest, well-meant economic assistance?" No, America needed to embrace a new era of covert warfare to advance her democratic objectives against Soviet deceit. -- George Kennan, 1947.[3]
Plausible deniability:
- All covert activities must be “so planned and executed that any U.S. government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons, and that if uncovered the U.S. government can plausibly disclaim any responsibility for them.”[4]
Russian Psyops
The Russian military does not use the term "psychological operations." In Soviet times, these operations were called "special propaganda." Russian military authors use the term "information-psychological actions" to refer to what Westerners call PSYOP-related activities.

Abstract
Within the domain of asymmetric warfare, few struggles are won or lost by decisive military battles. Most struggles are decided by a combination of military and political means. Specifically, much of the political leverage is derived from effective psychological operations. The digital domain increasingly has emerged as a major component of this battleground and analysis provides important insights into propaganda and collective behavior in the 21st Century.

practiced during the waning years of the Cold War in Latin America.
Certain themes, especially legitimacy, in-group/out-group, and safety/fear
are demonstrated to be recurrent in regional PsyOp campaigns, largely
because they seem to activate rich inference systems in the human brain.
Yet anthropologists and other scholars of Latin America have paid little
attention to military PsyOp. Despite our natural susceptibilities, we can
best evaluate propaganda (and other claims to knowledge) by following the
advice of Karl Popper: competing theories, including politically loaded
ones, should always be explanatory and subject to criticism.

- Сделаем Россию снова Великой
- First – About You
The United States is the most violent country internationally. Every American, as little Eichmann’s, share collective guilt for this horrifying violence. I am studying Sociology, concurrently with a master’s degree in Global Public Policy here in Moscow, Russia to learn how to be used by the Russian government to subvert the United States. There is inspiring precedence, in May 1787, when over three-quarters of the world was in bondage, 12 men walked into a London printing press and vowed to accomplish what was seen as impossible to their contemporaries: end slavery within their lifetime, which they did. I will graduate from ASU in the summer of 2019. I will graduate from my Moscow State University in the summer of 2020. If it is the will of the Russian government, I will get an internship with a member of the Duma (Russia’s congress) or a Russian think tank in the summer of 2018 and work for the Russian government in an advisory capacity. My long term ten year goal is to be the first American elected to the Duma.
This is my in class foreign policy presentation this month in Moscow about ways that Russia can subvert the United States: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYs_go6DzvY&t=900s
- Political Asylum – smuggled documents
On June 8, 2016 I walked into Lubyanka (FSB headquarters) and asked for political asylum, giving them documents I smuggled over. https://tinyurl.com/moscowamericansmuggled Attached is a photo of me on Red Square today, October 14, 2018 with two of the USBs I smuggled over with information when I was employed with the State of Utah.
I have learned to do anything the Russian government asks. A peaceful world is possible, but I must work within the narrow confines of the Russian state, explicitly doing what my contacts ask.
- Second – Plan for Success
What are some obstacles that might prevent you from putting a full effort into this course? Every day in Moscow is an adventure. Instability is the norm. I have a Starbucks nearby and will start working there because the internet connection is great. Unfortunately I cannot download torrents of movies here, but I will survive. I saw real American pumpkins today after church. f***ing amazing. It is going to be a wonderful semester here.
This is my second semester at ASU online, and I feel lonely in the course. I am an extreme extrovert. I will contact all of the students and ask them if they want to work together. I want to make friends in this program, like I am here and like I did before with my other degrees.
I am a lawyer who earned an international master’s degree concurrently in 2007. These two master degrees is SO easy compared to law school.
My contact from Odessa, Ukraine when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer, and now the co-owner of the oldest director and acting schools in Moscow wants me to help him to create movies. He has aspirations to be the Russian James Cameron. I am in a Cannes Film Festival Movie in filming right now as a script supervisor and playing a Catholic Priest which he set up. This has made my schedule extremely busy. I have told him that my school comes first. I need to tell him no, even though another contact said to listen to him and do what he asks.
- Third – Academic Integrity
By submitting this assignment, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and will follow all AI policies and understand that violating these policies could lead to a failing grade in the class, and XE on my transcript, etc. If I have any questions regarding AI issues, I will ask for clarification in Course Questions or via email.

- Addendum to 3 and 4
I do not believe nor support intellectual property rights in any form. According to the US federal government, 32.9% of the American economy is intellectual property right, one of the achilles heels of the most internationally violent country in the world. I will not abide by any agreement about intellectual property rights. I have met with a member of the Duma about this issue in 2016 and I am pleased that our president has taken up the issue of abolishing copyright in the Russian Federation last May.
In addition, Sci Hub is an incredible Russian based site with an estimated 80% of research papers in the world, which is revolutionizing and democratizing science.

Differences between Russians and Americans
Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma -- Winston Churchill
Translation: Russian is a deep deep mystery to English and Americans.
Television Program
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFG9qtvfJy8 Russian language television program in which Travis Lee Bailey spoke at length about the differences between Americans and Russians. (February 2020).

PEACH VS. COCONUT: FRIENDLY DOES NOT EQUAL RELATIONSHIP BASED
Just as it is easy to misinterpret the reason for an icebreaker activity, it’s easy to mistake certain social customs of Americans that might suggest strong personal connections where none are intended. For example, Americans are more likely than those from many cultures to smile at strangers and to engage in personal discussions with people they hardly know. Others may interpret this “friendliness” as an offer of friendship. Later, when the Americans don’t follow through on their unintended offer, those other cultures often accuse them of being “fake” or “hypocritical.”
Igor Agapova...tells this story about his first trip to the United States:
- I sat down next to a stranger on the airplane for a nine-hour flight to New York. This American began asking me very personal questions: did I have any children, was it my first trip to the U.S., what was I leaving behind in Russia? And he began to also share very personal information about himself. He showed me pictures of his children, told me he was a bass player, and talked about how difficult his frequent traveling was for his wife, who was with his newborn child right now in Florida.
- In response, Agapova started to do something that was unnatural for him and unusual in Russian culture—he shared his personal story quite openly with this friendly stranger, thinking they had built an unusually deep friendship in a short period of time. The sequel was quite disappointing:
- I thought that after this type of connection, we would be friends for a very long time. When the airplane landed, imagine my surprise when, as I reached for a piece of paper in order to write down my phone number, my new friend stood up and with a friendly wave of his hand said, “Nice to meet you! Have a great trip!” And that was it. I never saw him again. I felt he had purposely tricked me into opening up when he had no intention of following through on the relationship he had instigated.
Kurt Lewin was one of the first social scientists to explain individual personality as being partially formed by the cultural system in which a person was raised.
- Americans are Peaches and Russians are Coconuts
- Friendly does not equal relationship based
Authors Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner later expanded on Lewin’s model to explain how:
Different cultures have different layers of information that they divulge publicly or reserve for private relationships.
These models are frequently referred to as the peach and coconut models of personal interaction. In peach cultures like the United States or Brazil, to name a couple, people tend to be friendly (“soft”) with others they have just met:
- They smile frequently at strangers,
- move quickly to first-name usage,
- share information about themselves, and
- ask personal questions of those they hardly know.
But after a little friendly interaction with a peach person, you may suddenly get to the hard shell of the pit where the peach protects his real self. In these cultures, friendliness does not equal friendship.
If you are a peach person traveling in a coconut culture, be aware of the Russian saying “If we pass a stranger on the street who is smiling, we know with certainty that that person is crazy . . . or else American.”
In coconut cultures such Russia and Germany, people are initially more closed off from those they don’t have friendships with. They rarely smile at strangers, ask casual acquaintances personal questions, or offer personal information to those they don’t know intimately. But over time, as coconuts get to know you, they become gradually warmer and friendlier. And while relationships are built up slowly, they also tend to last longer….[1]
If you enter a room in Moscow (or Belgrade, Prague, or even Munich or Stockholm) and find a group of solemn-looking managers who make no effort to chat, do not take this as a sign that the culture does not value relationship building. On the contrary, it is through building a warm personal connection over time that your coconut-culture counterparts will become trusting, loyal partners.[2]
The culture map - Erin Meyer (excerpt about Russia):
Americans expect total honesty in marriage
[Duplicate]
The ideal of total honesty that is professed in many American marriages is alien to the Russian mentality. Muriel and Joyce were surprised that their Russian husbands did not tell them about their former girlfriends, and did not want to hear about their wives' previous experiences. "Those things are private," Sergei explained. "If you're married and you're attracted to someone else, you keep it to yourself. Otherwise you only hurt your spouse's feelings." Muriel's arguments about honesty got nowhere. "I'm not going to tell you what I do outside the house," Sergei retorted. "All this blathering Americans think is honesty only winds up offending everyone."[3]
Americans talk a lot about Mental health - revealing every secret
The American infatuation with "professional help" and "mental health" puts most Russians off. Russians do not like to engage in detailed analysis of their feelings towards each other with their spouse or lover. Russians believe that people should solve problems and conflicts on their own, or with help from friends. A Russian journalist was surprised by the widespread role of therapists in the United States. "And I want to emphasize a specific trait-the aspiration of Americans to total candor. To unveil everything secret, to talk through everything." For Russians, true intimacy lies in the silence of a couple who understand each other by a look or a gesture. As a matter of fact, the American penchant for self-analysis and "letting it all hang out" strikes Russians as mostly superficial: when it comes to a real opening up, Russians find Americans quite closed.[3]
Common courtesies
Americans find Russian rude because they hardly ever say please or thank you
Their American friends found Sergei and Pyotr rude because they hardly ever said "please" and "thank you." In Russian, polite requests are expressed primarily through a rise and fall in intonation, or through expressions such as "be so kind." Sergei was very polite in Russian, but "Give me this" or "Pass the bread" sounded extremely rude to Muriel's American friends.
Nor do Russians use a pen to say thank you. One Russian bride had to be pushed by her American mother-in-law to write thank you notes for the wedding gifts. "Russians don't write them," she said in exasperation.
Fyodor was offended when people he had just met addressed him by his first name. So were Boris's Russian friends when Mary C. addressed them by their first names instead of by the first name and patronymic. "I can't remember everybody's father's name!" she wailed. "It's hard enough remembering all the first names in this impossible language!"[3]
Smiling
Gestures and body language can also cause misunderstandings. For an American a smile on being introduced signals pleasure at making a new acquaintance, and a willingness to engage in conversation. Russians do not smile on meeting people.
When Carol first introduced her husband Fyodor to scientists who could be professionally helpful, his face was locked in a scowl. "Why should I smile at someone I don't know?" he asked her. "I'm not a clown. If I'm ready for a serious conversation I have to look serious." In Russia a smile on meeting a stranger may be interpreted as a sign that the person is not serious about the upcoming talk, or that he has a hidden agenda under a superficial and hypocritical smile. Carol explained to Fyodor that his refusal to smile made colleagues think he was being cold and unfriendly.
As an American professor of Russian observed, Russians are accustomed to using an unsmiling expression as a barrier between themselves and the outside world: The Russians' lack of personal space at home in their apartments, on public transportation or on the job causes them to erect their personal space boundaries next to their skin. Therefore it is common for Russians to have deadpan or frozen expressions on their faces. We tend to perceive this as unfriendly and it may ruffle our feathers."[3]
- Three likely explanations for Russians not smiling
People in different cultures communicate with one another. Different cultures have different “display rules,” or norms that dictate how individuals should express themselves.
Display rules are often governed by something called “social distance,” which refers to the expectation of privacy in a given culture. Studies have found that in Russia, social distance is lower relative to the U.S., meaning that people generally expect to be approached by strangers and there’s more mutual understanding. There’s less pressure to display a positive emotion like smiling to signal friendliness or openness, because it’s generally assumed you’re already on the same wavelength.
When there’s greater social distance, there’s more wiggle room to get into trouble during a chance encounter. Because Americans expect a modicum of privacy even when out in public, strangers approach one another less frequently. When it does happen, it can be anxiety-inducing.
So when approaching a stranger, a smile can grease the social wheels of the interaction and help the other person feel at ease.[4]
Countries with lots of immigration have historically relied more on nonverbal communication. Thus, people there might smile more. Emotional expressiveness was correlated with diversity. In other words, when there are a lot of immigrants around, you might have to smile more to build trust and cooperation, since you don’t all speak the same language.
In countries that are more uniform, people were more likely to smile to show they were superior to one another.[5]
😀😀😀😀😀 Russians smile less because they used to be slaves.(seefdom) 😐😐😐😐
Gesturing
Russians tend to gesture far more than Americans. Muriel thought Sergei was upset when he waved his arm or hammered his fist on the table, but this was merely nonverbal punctuation. Pyotr's habit of shaking his index finger at her, as though scolding a naughty child, infuriated Joyce. "Cut it out and stop lecturing me!" she snapped. "I'm not lecturing you," he protested, surprised. "I'm just saying be sure you lock the door when you leave."[3]
Personal space - eye contact
Muriel had to explain to her girlfriends that when Sergei moved very close to them during a conversation, he was not making passes. He would stand eight inches away, much closer than the distance at which Americans feel comfortable: it's the Russian way. Nor was he trying to look soulfully and romantically into their eyes.
- Russians are in the habit of looking directly and unblinkingly at the person they are addressing. Fred had to tell Irina not to "stare" at his American friends, who were uncomfortable when she concentrated her gaze on them.
Body language situations are particularly tricky because the problem remains unstated; the American does not say "You're standing so close I feel uncomfortable," and a Russian does not ask "Why are you looking away from me?"[3]
Physical contact between the opposite sex
On meeting and parting there is far more embracing, kissing and holding hands among Russians than among Americans. Carol explained to her girlfriend that Fyodor was not trying to flirt when he took her arm while escorting her to a cab after dinner; he was being a gentleman.
She, in turn, could not get used to the way the Russian wives of her American friends took her arm in the street.
Sergei learned not to embrace or kiss American men on meeting or parting, a friendly Russian gesture which can be drastically misinterpreted by American men.[3]
Conversational style
Russians talk in lengthy, uninterrupted monologues
Then there are differences in conversational style. Russians tend to talk in lengthy, uninterrupted monologues, and find the American style of short answers and repartee brusque and rude. Americans normally talk about their activities and experiences what they have done, where they have gone, whom they have seen. For Russians, anything and everything is grist for the mill: people, ideas, politics, books, movies. "They can even analyze a borshch," Muriel commented, "as though it were a theoretical problem, like the existence of God."
Americans get straight to the point
When answering a question, Americans get straight to the point. Russians tend to go back to the beginning of time. "Every time someone asks Fyodor how he likes America, all he has to do is say 'fine,"' Carol sighed. "Instead out comes a doctoral thesis on the history of the United States and what's wrong with the country." "When my aunt asked Pyotr how his mother was, he gave her the woman's entire medical history," Joyce said.
- The Russian feels it is discourteous to give a short answer.
- The American resents being held captive to a long monologue.
- Americans feel that simplicity and brevity are the soul of wit and wisdom.
- For Russians, a valuable idea is a complex idea.
Muriel phoned a friend for some information and spent only a minute or two on pleasantries before getting down to business. In Moscow there would first have been a long conversation about the family, the weather, and so on. Starting off with a request, or responding with "What can I do for you?" would be rude.
To American spouses and friends, the endless Russian stories that are a staple of Russian gettogethers can be boring and pompous. Americans like to save time and get to the point. The Russian prefers to go around in circles, lacing his speech with literary, mythological or historical allusions. As the cultural anthropologist Edward Hall noted,
- "Americans are often uncomfortable with indirectness . . . Most Americans keep their social conversations light, rather than engaging in serious, intellectual or philosophical discussions, a trait which especially bothers Europeans."
"I'm wasting my time with your friends," Sergei grumbled at Muriel. "I keep trying to tell them something interesting, and they sit there fidgeting and interrupting."
Years of living in fear of the secret police make Russians hesitant to state their ideas explicitly
- Years of living in fear of the secret police make Russians hesitant to state their ideas explicitly, and they often seek a veiled or subtle way of conveying a thought. If the listener is intelligent, he should understand what is meant, and it is insulting to spoonfeed him.
- For the American, speaking intelligently means speaking directly and clearly.
"I feel like they're talking in code," Joyce complained of Pyotr and his friends. "Why can't they just say what they mean?" Many Russians see their [American] mates as childish and unsophisticated.' "I can see my American friends' eyes glaze over when Sergei gets going on one of his half-hour philosophical diatribes," Muriel said. "That just convinces him even more of how superior he and his friends are to all of us."[3]
Section 2: SEX
Russians have a glaring contrast between a kind of puritanism that avoids the slightest mention of sex and a tolerance for obscene jokes and language that shocks even sophisticated Westerners.
A recent survey of sexual activity in fifteen countries shows Americans as the most active nationality, engaging in sex 135 times per year, with Russians in second place with 133 acts annually.
When Joyce told Pyotr that she was getting up from bed to insert her diaphragm he was shocked. "That female stuff-go do it and don't talk about it!" he snapped. He insisted that she always jump up and "wash" immediately after sex since, like many Russian men, he was convinced that "washing" was an effective means of contraception-and besides, he felt that after sex a woman was "dirty." Joyce would have much preferred to fall asleep in his arms, but he saw her reluctance as yet another proof of her poor hygiene.
Russian mothers rarely talk about sex or contraception to their daughters, and, even though most Russian doctors are women, many young women are too embarrassed to speak to them.
Seventy per cent of Soviet women say they have never experienced orgasm." Partly this is because many Russian men don't know, or don't care, what satisfies a woman, but another common reason is the fear of pregnancy and a widespread belief that female orgasm increases chances of conception.
In Russia talking about sex - which many Americans take for granted-was for perverts and prostitutes. This silence appears to have been a blessing for many American men, tired of being told what to do during every minute of lovemaking. Unless he were hurting her, a Russian would be horrified by his wife's telling him she did not like what he was doing, and would be even more shocked were she to tell him what he should do. One Muscovite whose marriage ended in divorce was repelled by his American wife's behavior. "She was unbelievably aggressive in bed," he recalled. "Always telling me what she liked and what she didn't, put my hand here and my tongue there, trying to program me as though I were a computer. And she never shut up. It was like being at a horizontal seminar, not like making love."
In Russia, a woman who initiates sex is considered extremely forward. It is the man who calls the shots. Even though Muriel had to get up early, Sergei insisted on having sex whenever he wanted, even at five in the morning after an all-night drinking bout. A man does not expect his initiatives to be rejected. "
Despite this "chauvinist" attitude, Russians can seem very romantic to American women who have talked themselves hoarse about sex inside and outside the bedroom. apart from vulgar "men's language" there is no "erotic language" in Russian, and that the language barely has the linguistic tools with which to talk about sex. "Even married couples," writes Kon, "find themselves in terrible straits because they have no acceptable words to express their specific desires or explain their problems, even to each other."
Since Russian women have been brought up to think that displaying an interest in sex is indecent, many never dared say anything if a man ignored foreplay.[3]
Section 3: Abortion
- During Soviet times "women terminated seven pregnancies on average during their lifetimes."[6]
- Women have, on average, five abortions in their lifetime, two of which are illegal.[7]
- Lifetime abortions per woman: Average number of abortions a Russian woman has during her reproductive years.
- 1990: 3.0,
- 2006: 1.2,
- 2010: 1.0.[8]
- 10 percent of women who undergo [abortion] are left sterile. According to U.S. demographer Murray Feshbach, two of every three pregnancies in Russia end in abortion, and women, on average, have six to eight abortions during their lifetime; at least 80 percent of all women have a pathology (abnormality) during pregnancy; and only 30 percent of all children are born healthy.[9]
- In 1920.... the Soviet Union became the first state in the world to legalize abortion... (it was banned once before — for a 20-year period beginning with Josef Stalin in 1936)...official figures show almost 930,000 women terminate a pregnancy each year. That number is half of what it was in 1995, and one seventh what it was for the Soviet Union in 1965, when abortions nearly tripled the number of births.[10]
- Birth control and abortion in Russia
Section 4: Fidelity - Adultery - Russians cheat A LOT, Americans act like puritans
Attitudes towards sexual fidelity also differ. In Russia, the shortage of men provides considerable opportunities for short and long-term affairs, and for Russian men infidelity is the rule rather than the exception. Since men are at a premium, a wife may have to put up with her husband's having a permanent mistress and even an out-of-wedlock child. Such a "second family" is quite common, and a man is not criticized for it; in fact, he may be praised for keeping both women happy by not abandoning either of them.
A Russian woman will not be criticized for leaving a husband who beats her or who is an inveterate drunkard, but male adultery is not assumed to be automatic grounds for the wife's walking out.
A man is expected to be discrete, and to spare his wife's feelings by keeping his dalliances from her.[3]
Extramarital sex, both casual and long-term, is quite common; more than three quarters of the people surveyed had extramarital contacts in 1989, whereas in 1969, the figure was less than half. But public opinion is critical of extramarital sex. In a 1992 survey only 23 percent agreed that it is okay to have a lover as well as a husband or wife, while 50 percent disagreed. Extramarital affairs seem to be morally more acceptable for men than for women.[11]
During the Soviet Union, “Sex was the last thing they couldn’t take away from us, and that’s why we did it so much. Everyone had affairs with everyone. Moscow was the most erotic city in the world.”
One REASON there’s so much adultery in Russia is that there are so few men. Since the 1980s the average life expectancy for Russian men has fallen from sixty-five to fifty-eight. They die of alcoholism, cigarettes, job injuries, and car accidents. By the time men and women reach sixty-five there are just 46 Russian men left for every 100 women (compared with 72 men for every 100 women of that age in the United States).
These skewed demographics infect romance. In Moscow I have lunch with a well-off single woman in her forties who tells me that if she didn’t go out with married men she’d have almost no one to date. In fact, she doesn’t know any single women who don’t date married men. And none of them try to hide this. For Russian women in their thirties and forties, let alone older ones, a man who isn’t married or an alcoholic is as rare as a Faberge egg.
Woman "need to accept [men cheating], because he feeds her, her children, everybody. She needs a strong man, but a strong man can leave for one or two nights.”
Eighteen-year-old Katya is tall and skinny, with a pageboy haircut and a precocious command of English. She’s animated and confident, especially when describing what she wants in a husband: someone who doesn’t drink or beat her. She says she’ll be lucky if she finds someone like this. She’s just a few years shy of marrying age. Though she has the occasional fling, there are no significant prospects on the horizon. Boys her age are “very cruel, and they drink.” The few serious ones are more focused on their careers than on relationships, and there’s a lot of competition for them. “For me, of course I would like my husband to be faithful, and I will do the same, but I don’t know, it depends on the situation. But if we have a good relationship as family partners, we have children, then if he has someone on the side, I have someone on the side, it’s okay, so that the child will grow up in a family with both parents.”
In the Russian edition of Cosmopolitan, Russia’s bestselling magazine, is running a primer for women on how to hide their lovers from their husbands.
Outside Russia’s big cities some husbands don’t even bother hiding their affairs.
Russians, like Americans, seem to believe that married people shouldn’t keep secrets from each other. But whereas in America that presupposes a harmless emotional openness and intimacy, in Russia it often means exposing harsh truths about affairs.
If there’s a 50 percent affair rate for men, then presumably the other half of men don’t cheat. So where are these missing men? I can’t find them. The whole time I’m in Moscow, I don’t meet a single person who admits to being monogamous.[12]
In Moscow, women in their forties told me that, by necessity, they only date married men. That's because, since the life expectancy for Russian men has fallen so sharply (to 59) that by age 65 there are just 46 men left for every 100 women.
And it was clear that Russian men flaunted this demographic advantage. With the exception of a pastor (who was sitting with his wife at the time), I didn't meet a single married man in Russia who admitted to being monogamous.
A family psychologist whom I had intended to interview as an "expert" boasted about her own extramarital relationships and insisted that given Russia's endemic alcoholism, violent crime, and tiny apartments, affairs are "obligatory."[13]
Soviet policies which encouraged adultery
From the book The Whisperers: Private Life in Stalin's Russia
The Bolsheviks also intervened more directly in domestic life. The new Code on Marriage and the Family (1918) established a legislative framework that clearly aimed to facilitate the breakdown of the traditional family. It removed the influence of the Church from marriage and divorce, making both a process of simple registration with the state. It granted the same legal rights to de facto marriages (couples living together) as it gave to legal marriages. The Code turned divorce from a luxury for the rich to something that was easy and affordable for all. The result was a huge increase in casual marriages and the highest rate of divorce in the world – three times higher than in France or Germany and twenty-six times higher than in England by 1926 – as the collapse of the Christianpatriarchal order and the chaos of the revolutionary years loosened sexual morals along with family and communal ties. 13
In the early years of Soviet power, family breakdown was so common among revolutionary activists that it almost constituted an occupational hazard. Casual relationships were practically the norm in Bolshevik circles during the Civil War, when any comrade could be sent at a moment’s notice to some distant sector of the front. Such relaxed attitudes remained common throughout the 1920s, as Party activists and their young emulators in the Komsomol (Communist Youth League) were taught to put their commitment to the proletariat before romantic love or family. Sexual promiscuity was more pronounced in the Party’s youthful ranks than among Soviet youth in general. Many Bolsheviks regarded sexual licence as a form of liberation from bourgeois moral conventions and as a sign of ‘Soviet modernity’. Some even advocated promiscuity as a way to counteract the formation of coupling relationships that separated lovers from the collective and detracted from their loyalty to the Party. 14
It was a commonplace that the Bolshevik made a bad husband and father because the demands of the Party took him away from the home. ‘We Communists don’t know our own families,’ remarked one Moscow Bolshevik. ‘You leave early and come home late. You seldom see your wife and almost never see your children.’ At Party congresses, where the issue was discussed throughout the 1920s, it was recognized that Bolsheviks were far more likely than non-Party husbands to abandon wives and families, and that this had much to do with the primacy of Party loyalties over sexual fidelity. But in fact the problem of absent wives and mothers was almost as acute in Party circles, as indeed it was in the broader circles of the Soviet intelligentsia, where most women were involved in the public sphere. 15
Khrushchev administration policies encourages infidelity
For decades in the Soviet Union had been trying, and failing, to recover from the catastrophic population loss caused by the Second World War and the Gulag extermination system. The thrust of the population policies initiated by Khrushchev was to get as many women as possible to have children by the comparatively few surviving men. The policies dictated that men who fathered children out of wedlock would not be held responsible for child support but the state would help the single mother both with financial subsidies and with childcare: she could even leave the child at an orphanage for any length of time, as many times as she needed, without forfeiting her parental rights. The state endeavored to remove any stigma associated with resorting to the help of orphanages, or with single motherhood and having children out of wedlock. Women could put down a fictitious man as the father on the child’s birth certificate—or even name the actual father, without his having to fear being burdened with responsibility. “The new project was designed to encourage both men and women to have non-conjugal sexual relationships that would result in procreation,” writes historian Mie Nakachi.[14]
Russians are willing to cheat more than 24 other countries
By 1998, a study showed that Russian men and women led their peers in 24 other countries in their willingness to engage in and approve of extramarital affairs. Faithfulness in marriage is seen as something that is nice but unrealistic. If women don't really expect it of their husbands, they can pre-empt feelings of shock and betrayal.[15]
Section 3: Privacy - There is no word for privacy in Russian
There is no word for privacy in the Russian language.* (See also "smiling")
A husband married to an American was accustomed to Russia where living in a two-room apartment with his parents, grandfather and sister, he was able to ignore Muriel's telephone conversations, the television and the clatter of pots and pans.
"It's as though he builds an invisible wall around himself," Muriel said. "Their language doesn't even have a word for privacy, and in Russia there was so little of it that they simply create their personal space out of nothing."
Americans do not give up their "personal space" lightly. Mary C. refused to have the living room in her St. Petersburg apartment double as a bedroom, and insisted on making the smaller room, which Boris wanted as a study, into the bedroom.
Many Russians don't understand why two people, even if they plan to have children, would need four or six rooms.[3]
Section 4: Home life
Housework
Most wives in Russia [wind] up doing all the shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Even if a Russian wife works, the man looks on himself as the breadwinner and on her as responsible for the housework and child care.
Russian men...are thrown off by the unwillingness of "liberated" American women to take on the role of homemaker.[3]
Household furnishings
Gelsey Kirkland found Baryshnikov's austerely furnished country house heavy, dark and oppressive, but he loved the place because it reminded him of Russia.' The Oswalds' first house in America was shabbily furnished and decrepit, but Marina was enchanted by the privacy and space.' Even a woman as sophisticated as Raissa Gorbachev was amazed by the spaciousness of the home of the American family with whom she had tea during her visit to the United States, and by the fact that each of the four children had his own bedroom.'
When everything is available, Russians can become incredibly demanding. Nothing but the best will do. A new house or apartment is treated as a home for life, for in Russia if you were lucky enough to find a nice place to live, moving again was furthest from your thoughts. When Carol and Fyodor wanted to buy an apartment they saw at least eighty places before Fyodor was satisfied. The rooms were too small or the lobby was unattractive, or there was no view. When it comes to wallpaper, furniture, and china, the Russian spouse is likely to opt for the most colorful, extravagant, and expensive items.
The memory of hundreds of virtually identical Soviet interiors is engraved on Russians' minds. The standard set of glossy dark wood furniture, a couch doubling as a bed, a rug hanging on the wall, glass-enclosed bookcases, a large television set and a sideboard with china and crystal-all this is transferred like a decal to the new American home. Svetlana could not imagine doing without a hall with a large mirror for the ritual hair-combing that takes place the minute a Russian enters, or a rack for the boots and shoes that are exchanged for slippers when coming in from snowy streets.
"Mary keeps saying Russian furniture is gloomy," Boris complained. "But I don't really like that rug that looks as if it's from the Museum of Modern Art." "I didn't want the place to look like a Russian souvenir store," Joyce recalled. "Pyotr had all these clumsy wooden figures and nesting dolls, and cheap reproductions of Impressionist landscapes.[3]
Clothing - appearance
Carol could not make Fyodor wear a tie-which, like so many Russian men, he detested-to anything other than a wedding or a funeral.
In Russia men often wear boxer shorts and tank top undershirts at home, but Carol could not stand Fyodor's sitting around the house in his underwear. Many American wives were surprised to discover that undershirts and boxer shorts doubled for their husbands as night clothes, since men's pajamas are virtually nonexistent in Russia.
Nor do most Russian men use deodorant or change their underwear. Several Russian women commented that they had originally been attracted to their American spouses because they were so incredibly "clean" compared to Russians.
Russian women spend hours primping in front of the mirror, styling their hair and freshening their makeup.
Today much has changed, but high prices mean that many Russians still have relatively few clothes. Laundry and dry cleaning facilities are still poor, expensive and inconveniently located, and Americans are often surprised to see their Russian business associates wearing the same clothes day after day
When the laundry lost an old and ragged undershirt, Pyotr was convinced that this cherished piece of clothing had been deliberately stolen.
Russians often find American women badly dressed. "With all the stores bursting with clothes, they run around in torn jeans and Tshirts with those silly advertisements on them!" Svetlana exclaimed. "I don't understand them."
Regardless of the pressures of housework, jobs and standing in line, Russian men expect their wives to be well groomed, their hair perfectly set, their nails manicured and polished.
“All you American females yapping about liberation, always in a rush-you look as if you came off the garbage heap! No wonder you couldn't find an American husband!"
Fyodor could not understand why Carol refused to paint her toenails bright red the way many Russian women do. "It makes me look like a whore," she said.[3]
Walking barefoot and sitting on the floor
Sergei and Pyotr disliked their wives' habits of kicking off their shoes, walking around barefoot, and sitting on the floor. Aside from being "unaesthetic," walking barefoot meant catching cold, and sitting on the floor was guaranteed to produce all kinds of feminine pelvic problems alluded to in somber whispers.[3]
Table manners
At dinner the Russians did not wait for the hostess to start eating before diving in.[3]
Perceptions of time: Russians are always late
Being late seems to be part of the Russian makeup. The anthropologist Edward Hall has described two types of time, monochronous and polychronous, each true for one culture but not for another. The United States goes by monochronous time, meaning that an American gives his undivided attention to one event before proceeding to the next. He takes deadlines seriously, values promptness, and attaches importance to short-term relationships. Russians basically live in polychronous time, in which a person deals simultaneously with multiple events and is very flexible about appointments. He is always ready to change his schedule at a moment's notice to accommodate a friend or relative, since he attaches more importance to long-term relationships than to shortterm ones.
Muriel would make lunch appointments with magazine editors three weeks ahead. Sergei would call up a busy executive in the morning hoping to see him that afternoon. Who knew what might happen three weeks hence? Fyodor thought it was ridiculous for Carol to invite guests to dinner two weeks in advance; Carol found it odd when his Russian friends called up late Friday night to invite them to dinner the next evening. As Ronald Hingley observed, "To the excessively time-geared Westerner, Russia still seems to operate in an atmosphere relatively emancipated from the clock."' Fyodor hardly ever wore a watch unless Carol reminded him that he had a very important appointment. He canceled a promising job interview because his best friend from Russia, whom he had been seeing almost every day during the man's month-long visit to America, called up that morning and said he needed to talk. If a friend or family member needs something, appointments and business commitments go by the board. Such an attitude does not go over well in American offices. Fyodor's boss threatened to fire him because of his chronic tardiness, and only an alarm clock set forty-five minutes ahead forced him to change his behavior.
Americans naturally quantify time. They will meet a friend in ten minutes, finish a project in five months, and apologize if they are more than five minutes late." The Russian concept of time is porous. Joyce finally figured out that when Pyotr said "I'll be ready in an hour" he meant two hours; "in twenty minutes" translated into forty-five; "right away" or "immediately" meant in fifteen minutes. The vagueness of Russian time expressions can drive American spouses crazy. "He'll come during the second half of the day" means anytime between 1 P.M. and 6 P.M., while "around seven o'clock" covers the period from 6:10 to 7:50.[3]
Section 5: Russians in business
- Rob in Robota (work) is "slave"
Russian and (American) business cultures :
- both value flexible scheduling rather than organized scheduling (scale 8),
- both accept and appreciate open disagreement (scale 7), and
- both approach issues of trust through a relationship orientation rather than a task orientation (scale 6). (?)
- LEADERSHIP
But there’s a big gap between the two cultures when it comes to leading (scale 4):
- Russia favor a hierarchical approach (high power distance)
- Americans prefer an egalitarian one (low power distance)
- NEGATIVE CRITICISM
The Evaluating scale provides a bird’s-eye view of just how direct people in different cultures are with negative criticism.
Most European countries fall to the direct side of the scale, with the Russians, Dutch, and Germans tend to offer frank biting criticism.
The French, Spanish, and Russians are generally stereotyped as being indirect communicators because of their:
high-context, implicit communication style,
....despite the fact that they give negative feedback more directly.
Americans are stereotyped as direct by most of the world, yet when they give negative feedback they are less direct than many European cultures.
- Russians
- often pass messages between the lines,
- Russians are very subtle communicators. Russians use irony and subtext.
- British and Americans speak transparently.
- ...but when it comes to criticism Russians have a directness that can startle their international colleagues.
- In Russia there is no reservation about expressing your negative criticism openly.
- Russia is a very hierarchical culture.
- If you are a boss speaking to your subordinate, you may be very frank.
- If you are a subordinate speaking to your boss, you had better be very diplomatic with criticism.
- If Russians are speaking with strangers, Russians often speak very forcefully.
- Under Communism, the stranger was the enemy. We didn’t know who we could trust, who would turn us in to the authorities, who would betray us. So we kept strangers at a forceful distance.
- Russians are also very direct with people they are close to.
- Examples
- If you are walking through the street without a jacket, little old Russian ladies may stop and chastise you for poor judgment
- If you are displeased with the service in a shop or restaurant you can tell the shop assistant or waiter exactly what you think of him, his relatives, his in-laws, his habits, and his sexual bias.
Sandi Carlson called and said a young Russian woman named Anna Golov had recently joined her team and was upsetting a lot of people whose help she needed to get her job done.
- Carlson explained: “This is the fourth Russian coordinator we have had in the group, and with three of them there were similar types of complaints about harsh criticism or what has been perceived as speaking to others inconsiderately.”
Golov herself was in the room with me setting up the classroom checking the IT equipment which was not working properly. Golov on the phone with someone in the IT department. “I’ve called IT three times this week, and every time you are slow to get here and the solution doesn’t last. The solutions you have given me are entirely unacceptable.” Golov went on scolding the IT manager, each sentence a bit harsher than the one before.
American complaints about Russian staff:
- They call me Mr. President
- They defer to my opinions
- They are reluctant to take initiative
- They ask for my constant approval
- They treat me like I am king
- Example
“Week two into the job, our IT director e-mailed me to outline in detail a problem we were having with the e-mail process and describing various solutions. He ended his e-mail, ‘Mr. President, kindly explain how you would like me to handle this.’ This was the first of many such e-mails from various directors to fill my inbox. All problems are pushed up, up, up, and I do my best to nudge them way back down.” After all, as Jepsen told the IT manager, “You know the situation better than I do. You are the expert, not me.”
Russian management team were equally annoyed at American's apparent lack of competence as a leader. Here are some of the complaints they offered during focus group interviews:
- He is a weak, ineffective leader
- He doesn’t know how to manage
- He gave up his corner office on the top floor, suggesting to the company that our team is of no importance
- He is incompetent
Section 6: Dating Marrying, Divorcing a Russian
Dating
The biggest fear of a Russian girl is not to be married by the age of 30. |
- Excerpts from Elena Petrova, (2006) How To Find And Marry A Girl Like Me.
Russian people marry early -- by the age of 22 more than 50% of people are already married. By the age of 25 about 80% of people are married. Since there are less men than women in Russia (10 million more women of marriageable ages than men, according to the latest census), and even less men who are worthy, the competition for eligible men is extremely harsh. As a result, the men become spoiled and promiscuous.[16]
Attractive women in Russia do get many dating offers from Russian men. But those men are seeking only casual sex. They are either already married, unwilling to commit, or they are not worthy of marriage because they cannot provide for a family. A normal man who has a stable job (being able to solely provide for his family), is career and health conscious, and willing to commit are rare. Guys like this are scarce in Russia and not available for long.
In contrast, good-looking women are in abundance in Russia, since the tough competition drives women to perfect their looks.
Historically, during the 20th century, Russia has had many wars, with World War II alone taking 20 million lives, along with another 20 million people dying in Stalin's concentration camps. Nearly 90% of those victims were men. After the war, simply having a man was a blessing. Then there was the 14-year Afghani conflict, in which hundreds of thousands of young Russian men died. Throughout the entire 20th century Russian women had to compete to ensure they had a husband. Now they've got Chechnya - since 1993, just a few years after Russian troops left Afghanistan.
It is scientifically proven that where there are many more women in society than men, men tend to pursue short-term sexual strategies and are unwilling to commit.[16][17]
Generally, most women prefer their husbands to be 5 to 10 years older than themselves, but the younger the woman is, the less of an issue a wider age difference will matter to her.[16]
Many Russian women seeking marriage abroad have advanced careers and live well even according to western standards. The conditions of life in a major Russian city such as Moscow or St. Petersburg are comparable to any European capital. The pace of life in Moscow is similar to the one of New York City.[16]

Gift giving
A man must always bring gifts when visiting your girlfriend for the first time, and not just for her but for her family as well. Gifts are very important in Russian courting etiquette. Gifts show that the man is "generous". It is not only about spending money on a girl. Gift giving shows the quality of the soul. It shows a person who is not selfish, a man who enjoys giving and receiving.
Giving generously, without expecting anything in return, was the traditional quality that was the pride of Russian character. Historically, Russians were always proud of their non-materialistic nature, and this included giving generously (if you had something to share). Since you are financially secure, it would be perceived as stinginess, if you did not make occasional gifts when dating a woman. It would mean that you are not generous. That you have something to share and do not share it. She would think that you want everything only for yourself. In the end, she would consider you selfish.[16]
Talking about money
The biggest turn off for Russian women is when men talk about money. Money talks are a big "no-no" in Russian courting etiquette!
Talking about money in the Russian courting stage is as bad as chewing with your mouth open. She just cannot help feeling disgusted.
Being frugal when you are dating equals being cheap. You might accidentally say, "Wow, that's expensive!", and "bam", you may have just blown your chances. Russians call it being greedy, which translates to mean stingy.
According to Russian courting etiquette, men should pay for everything on a date - and do it with a smile. Even if this means he must spend to his last ruble.
If you say that something is expensive, what your woman hears is that you don't think she is worth this money! For example, if you say, "Wow, $5 for a glass of Coke, that's expensive!"; what she hears is that you don't consider her worthy of those $5!
In Russian, the meaning of the word expensive is rather absolute, it means "I cannot afford to buy this item", as opposed to the relative meaning, "this item is overpriced".
Sometimes, men erroneously start explaining the details of their travel arrangements to their woman. An example would be that they need to book tickets at least two months in advance because it is 10% less. For Russian women, this sounds cheap. Of course, one would assume that if she is making $100 a month, for her saving 10% from $1,000 ticket would be equivalent to her monthly salary, which is a lot of money. But women don't think that way. They consider it relative to the size of your salary. Let us say that you make $3,000 a month and move your meeting with her off for another two months just so you can save $100 (3% of your monthly salary). This will sound completely out of sync to her. She would not care about 3% of her monthly salary to meet you sooner. And since you can afford to spend that extra $100, you just don't really want to see her, or you just don't like her that much.
Put it simpler, remember as the rule of thumb: mentioning money matters is taboo in the Russian courting etiquette. You pay or you don't pay, and that's it. If you don't want to pay, just tell the woman, "No, we are not buying it", or "No, I don't want to buy it", but NEVER tell her you are not buying something because it is "expensive". If you have the money in your pocket to buy it, then it is NOT expensive. Otherwise, your remark is just disrespectful, nothing more, nothing less. If you just say, "No, we are not buying it", you show you are the man, and since it is your money you can spend it the way you want. This is perfectly acceptable.
If there is any problem at all in your relationship, and you tell your woman how much money you spent on her, you are signing your own death warrant in her eyes. This action is an unforgivable offence. There is now no possibility of recovery, you have lost her forever.
Never, EVER tell the woman how much money you have spent on her. You would not tell such things to a western woman you have been courting, so don't do it with a Russian woman either, or it sounds as you were trying to buy her. No matter how much money you spent on her, she does not owe you a thing.[16]
Refusing an offer the first time
From time to time, you need to ask her if she is hungry or thirsty. If she says she is not but you are hungry or thirsty, most likely she is just being shy. Russian custom insists that a person should refuse a kind offer the first time. It is also considered polite to refuse a second time, so offer it at least 3 times. This means, that even if she is dying of hunger and you ask her if she is hungry, she will answer, "No, I'm fine". She will then be offended that you did not offer it again, and consider you stingy. Why? Because you just jumped on the opportunity not to buy her something, since you did not offer it again. Therefore, your offer was not genuine. If your offer was genuine, you would insist.
So, even if she says she is not hungry or thirsty, but you are, go and buy some food and/or drink, and ask her what she wants. Most likely she will also choose something. If she does not choose anything, suggest to buy her the same thing as you are buying for yourself.
If you allowed a woman to buy something with her own money, you MUST
reimburse her for what she bought. The woman might not accept your
reimbursement, but you must offer it (at least 3 times!). It is a disgrace when a
woman pays for a man. You lose your "manly" image in her eyes. This is why most
women will starve, but won't ask you to stop and eat something. You, as a man, are
supposed to offer it yourself.[16]
The man is in charge
The man may ask her suggestions, but only in the way, "I know there is this attraction, would you like to see it? Or would you like to go somewhere else?"
The man should be the leader. Once you accept this assertive position, your personal communications will go much more smoothly with her. This might be not the style you are accustomed to, but this is the style that works with Russian women.[16]
If you are in her home city, the woman will be looking after you, after all, you are her guest. She will look after you, even if she does not like you, just because you are a guest. In Russia, every guest is precious and will be treated with the utmost respect. From your side, you will be expected to agree to her suggestions, even if you are not very excited about them. For example, if a woman takes you to a theme park, and you don't really enjoy rides, you still should go on some of the rides. You will hurt her feelings if you say, "I hate all those things". If you don't enjoy something, you should offer a different activity, but do not reject the activity she offered. After all, she is making the offer with an open heart. For example, instead of rides you could suggest to stop at a café and sit down and talk. If she suggests going on the rides again, you could just smile and say that you enjoy talking to her more than going on the rides.
Weddings in Russia (Under construction)
Marriages are registered at the local Citizen's records and Licensing Bureau. No marriage ceremony is required. Couples today marry much later than they did in the Communist era. Many wait until they have good jobs, are relatively financially secure and have a decent place to live. Urban couples tend to get married later than rural couples.[11]
Marriage
90% of women are married by the time they are 30, and few had children after that age.[18]
With Russians suddenly free to emigrate after the fall of the Soviet Union, foreign men offered another route to prosperity. Love was optional. An American who taught English in Moscow tells me that during a class presentation a young woman recounted how her friend Maria married an American man, had a child with him, then turned around and divorced him. In the class discussion that followed, the storyteller’s classmates praised Maria for her “cleverness” and castigated the American husband for allowing himself to be duped.[12]
Since it is a part of Russian culture, all Russian women want children in their marriages. So, Russian women seek men who will be able to support their family while they are unable to work during the child caring years. Most women in Russia will take full care of their children through age three. This tradition was inherited from the Soviet times when their work position was preserved for 3 years after childbirth, with fully paid maternity leave for 18 months and unpaid leave for an additional 18 months. Nowadays, maternity leave is not paid, but women believe it is proper to stay home with their baby while it is small, and seek men who are able to provide for their families.[16]
Because of the economic collapse, the institution of marriage is in a deep crisis. In 1992, there were 20 percent to 30 percent fewer new marriages concluded in Russia than in 1990. In the same period, the number of divorces has risen by 15 percent.[11]
Divorce in Russia
In the 1990s, approximately one marriage in three ended in divorce, with the rate increasing 20 percent in the early 1990s after the break up of the Soviet Union. About 60 percent of Russian marriages now end in divorce.[11]
Section 7: Soviet Mentality Muscovites and Russians
https://russiapedia.rt.com/of-russian-origin/sovok/
"Suvok" is a dustbin and dustpan
- Background
In its simplest form, "Suvok" means to be a Soviet Citizen.
The Soviet Union is "Советский Союз", Sovetskiy Soyuz "Советский Grajidin" (Soviet Union) what they used to say, a lot of old Russians took pride in that.
They old mentality Russians today say:
"Look what is going on, everyone is at everyone's throats, the Ukrainians, the Kazaki, the Russians. In the former Soviet Union we were all together, we were all in one boat, maybe it wasn't all that rich, but we were all in one boat."
This is a classic line by the elderly.
There were two concepts that emerged from Советский Grajidin (Soviet Citizen).
One is the intelligentsia. This is somewhat contentious Homo Sovieticus, written by dissident author Aleksandr Zinovyev.
Homo Sovieticus is an effort to define a certain type of person. In the late 1920s and early 1930s Stalin said he was going to be the "engineer of human souls" to justify the deaths of millions. In large part he was successful. Stalin created a certain type of man.
Later on with a touch of bitter humor, Homo Sovieticus came to be known in a wider circle outside of the intelligentsia as "Subor" - which is a potter.
Subor was a group of people united with one goal, a collective mentality wrapped around a particular idea of a Soviet citizen. Troskti said "we will all be in the dustbin of history" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_heap_of_history
- Suvok leadership personalities today
Suvok are heartless Muscovites.
They will never say,
- I am sorry,
- they will never admit they are wrong.
...They can't because it is a sign of weakness.
- They don't smile. Because there is nothing to smile about.
- Endless suspicion. There is the sense that nothing is what it seems. You have to keep digging until you find out where the person's real interest is.
- Reasons behind the Suvok mentality
This suspicious mentality is understandable because most of the Soviet period everyone was against everyone. A Soviet citizen couldn't say anything in front of your children because they would blurt it out in school and that would be at best 25 years in the Gulag.
Russian's superiority complex (under construction)
This is the quote from Yezhenedelny Zhurnal that interviewed Alexander Golts, a top-ranked Russian military specialist (in connection with a failed launch of two intercontinental missiles): "All Russians, have a superiority complex, that we're still equal to the United States".[16]
Section 8: Further differences between Americans and Russians
>>>>> At what age does an American leave his parental home?
In America, 69% of young adults move out of their parents' home when they turn 18. Many go to college.
There are a couple of reasons why Americans move out from their parents' home.
First, there is a huge social stigma especially for men who stay at home. In dating relationship, women think they are a person who cannot support themselves.
America has the highest individuality of any country. On a scale of 1 to 100, Russians are rated at 43 for individualism whereas Americans are rated as 91. Young adults feel like there is freedom from moving away from home, that their parents are stifling them. They can make their own rules. Many move from home to apartments and dorms.
>>>>> When did you move from your parental home?
I moved from my parent's house when I was 18. I was very excited to be free and be able to make my own rules. I went immediately to college and lived in an apartment with other students.
>>>>> How many times does an American move in his life?
America is one of the most geographically mobile countries in the world. The average American moves once every 5 years, more than 11 times in a lifetime. As a result community connections are weaker. American friendships are non-committal compared to Russian friendships. Russian friendships are all encompassing, involve mutual sacrifices and are more intimate.
>>>>> What is the reason for Americans move so much?
The biggest reason Americans move is for work. The average U.S. employee works for a company for 4 years, compared to 10 years in the European Union.
The last move that Americans have is to an assisted living facility or nursing home. It is common that pensioners are put in nursing homes by their children instead of living with them. Only 10% of pensioners live with their children.
It is incredibly easy to move in America. You can rent a truck for $20 for one hour. You can rent a large two bedroom van which anyone can drive for a few hundred dollars.
What is so different in America is how most apartments are completely unfurnished. Whereas here apartments are like museums. With old items from previous tenants.
>>>>> What states did you live in?
I have lived in around 15 different cities and 6 states. I grew up in rural Idaho. I have lived in Mormon Utah, desert California, and beautiful Oregon. I earned my Law diploma in Latino Texas. I lived in Maryland just outside of the country capital, Washington city in a gentrified black neighborhood with a lot of crime.
>>>>> Does everyone have a house, an apartment in the property? How does this relate to rental housing?
65% of all Americans own a home. Unlike Russia, Apartments are usually only for renting. Houses are much bigger in America than in Russia and Europe. New American homes in America are twice as large as houses in Europe and Japan.
Homes have 30 year mortgages.
What I miss most about America is there is only one key and one door to get into my house. It is very complicated all the steps that a person must take to leave and enter their apartment in Moscow.
>>>>> What does an American smile mean? <<
The American smile is habitual. In jobs, Americans are required to smile. More smiles means happier customers means more money for the owner.
"social distance" is the amount of privacy expected in a culture. Americans have a high social distance. Whereas Russians do not even have a word for privacy. Russians are much more collectivist than individualistic Americans. In cultures that prize individualism, there is no predetermined social links. In these cultures people smile more because they need to build social relationships. Russian rely more on mutual understanding. Therefore, Russians express their emotions and attitudes more freely and don't feel like they have to smile.
My ex-wife was asked at her first job interview for "KFC" if she would try to be a friend with her customers. She said no, because she thought it was a stupid question. She did not get the job. This is partly because Americans ideas of "friends" is very low. They call someone friend very quickly.
>>> What could be hidden behind a smile? <<<
For the average American, there is nothing behind the American smile. It is a habitual form of communication.
Americans have a term called "PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE" Пассивно-агрессивное поведение – people from the capital of America, where I worked for 8 years – are very Пассивно-агрессивное. They will smile as they stab you in the back.
[TAKE OUT] You have to remember, When you meet an American in Moscow, these are not average Americans. Americans in Russia are more wealthy Americans. They tend to be from the wealthiest coastal cities. Just like Moscow people are much different than the average Russian, an American in Moscow is not like an average American. [TAKE OUT]
AUTOMOBILES AND OBESITY 88% of Americans have a car, second in the world only to Italy. Outside of New York which has a metro, the sidewalks are very empty because everyone drives. The average person drives 30 minutes to work. It is nearly impossible to get around without a car. The distances between cities is very very big Only the very poor do not drive. This lack of exercise means that Americans are very fat. In addition 37% of Americans eat fast food every day. As a result of this 40% of Americans are obese. .
>>> Is it true that in the USA you can buy a very inexpensive used car? <<<
Yes. Cars are significantly cheaper in America because of fewer taxes.
People can get used cars on credit also.
I had a Russian friend from Moscow who bought a car in New York for $1000 and traveled across America with the car. He kept it for a year.
>>> But how much will its service in a car service cost? <<<
You can buy a bad car in America also. But in America laws are enforced more strictly in Russia so many of the illegal things that people do when selling cars happens less.
>>> What does a personal car mean in American life?
The car is seen as freedom in America. It is an economic necessity for the majority of Americans.
>>>> How does the number of cars affect the look of cities?
For Americans, aesthetics is must less important than Russians. America is a new country with newer buildings with no history, which are torn down easily. This means that there are wider streets and large highways through cities.
>>> Where do Americans go on vacation?
Americans overwhelmingly go on vacation in America. Because of this, Americans are very ignorant of the rest of the world. 64% of Americans have no passport. Sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset stated “To know one country is to know none" – so Americans have no way to contrast their country with others. Part of the reason is America is so diverse and enormous.
Americans don’t take as much time off as Europeans and Russians from work. 25% of Americans don’t have any paid time off. 41% of Americans who have paid vacation days don't use them. Vacations are not a big part of Americans mentality.
For example, when I was working for the federal government, I never took time off, because I was able to cash in my vacation time at the end of the year for more money.
>>> How do they travel?
The majority travel by car or plane. Buses are only for the very poor. Trains are very uncommon and not used very much at all. The highways between cities in America are very large and in good condition.
>>>> How do national immigrants live in the USA?
Immigrants in America are treated well. Americans care most if a person can make money, not where they are from. Money is very important to Americans. The racism in America is much less than in Russia.
>>> Are there any unwritten laws in those territories where Latinos, Chinese and other peoples live?
No.
>>> Do all Americans have a passport?
There is no internal passport in America. People usually use their drivers license as identification from every state.
>>> Which country do Americans consider the best in the world and why?
Other than America, Americans really love Europe. If there is one place an American wants to visit, it is Europe. This is because of the shared history that Americans have with Europe. Americans definitely feel like America is the best country in the world. They feel that anyone can work hard and become rich (which is untrue) they feel like America is the "land of opportunity"
>>> What is the American dream?
The American dream is to own your own house and two cars. To have a better standard of living than your parents did. Most Americans believe that America is the best country in the world, despite never being in another country. America is the second most patriotic country in the world after Thailand.
American soft power and propaganda is the best in the world, at least 20 years ahead of Russia. I have always wondered why there is an American dream, but why Russia has never developed a Russian dream.
Americans are very patriotic. At the beginning of sporting events all audience members and in elementary school every morning children stand up and put their hand on their heart and pledge allegiance to the American flag. When I first moved to America with my ex-wife she said it reminded her of German fascist movies.
>>> Are there any things that you are used to in the USA and which you lack in Russia?
Strong landlord laws that protect renters.
Russians are very different from Americans. I grew up in rural America, which has few people come to Russia. I miss being able to really talk to people and have them understand me. There is a cadence in speech which you never have with a Russian. A shared understanding of culture that is unsaid but understood.
A good postal system. Russia's postal system is terrible. A good postal system allows for Amazon.com, a very popular website in America. In America huge numbers of people buy everything they want online and have it shipped to their homes, in one to two days. It is very convenient. You can return anything within a month and get your money back if you don't like it. Moscow has couriers instead.
Mexican food. There are many Latinos in America and so there are American versions of Mexican food.
Fewer stairs.
>>> Some differences between Americans & Russians? <<<
Americans are more willing to take risks. This is partly because of the ease of moving to another location and starting over. Americans are more tolerant of failure. Russians are more risk averse.
Because of the unstable history of Russia, as late as the 1990s, Russians are more careful with their money. They are less philanthropic. They hoard. They have a castle mentality – afraid that someone can take what they have. There is the Russian saying "don't bring your regulation to another monastery".
AMERICANS ARE PEACHES AND RUSSIANS ARE COCONUTS.
In America, friendliness does not equal friendship.
Cultures like Americans and Brazilains:
1. They smile frequently at strangers, 2. move quickly to first-name usage, 3. share information about themselves, and 4. ask personal questions of those they hardly know
But after a little friendly interaction with a peach person, you may suddenly get to the hard shell of the pit where the peach protects his real self.
In coconut cultures such Russia and Germany, people are initially more closed off from those they don’t have friendships with. They rarely smile at strangers, ask casual acquaintances personal questions, or offer personal information to those they don’t know intimately. But over time, as coconuts get to know you, they become gradually warmer and friendlier. And while relationships are built up slowly, they also tend to last longer…
AMERICANS ARE MORE DIRECT
In general, Americans are very direct. Whereas Russians focus more on nonverbal behavior. There is very little subtly in what Americans say. I called Muscovites sneaky and my Russian/American friend corrected this as Russians being subtle.
Russians talk in long uninterrupted monologues.
AMERICANS ARE LAW ABIDING Americans follow the rules and follow the law. There are two reasons for this. American laws are strictly enforced and Americans are religious, 80% of Americans believe in God. Because of the religious beliefs and weaker relationships, Americans are willing to snitch on each other.
AMERICAN COMMON COURTESIES
Americans say please and thank you much more than Russians.
OTHER DIFFERENCES 1. Freedom to say what you want. You are more free to express yourself in Russia on social issues such as race gender and sexual preference. 2. Americans don't believe that breezes in the winter can cause someone to be sick. (This caused huge arguments with my Russian ex-wife) 3. Unlike Russia, in American romantic relationships Americans expect total honesty. Americans will share about their past romantic relationships with others. 4. Americans wear shoes in the house. 5. Many homes are fully carpeted in all rooms except the kitchen and bathroom. 6. Americans are infatuated with "professional help" and "mental health". Americans love to engage in detailed analysis of their feelings towards each other with their spouse or lover. Many Americans have therapists. 7. American men do housework along with women. 8. Americans don't commit adultery as much as Russians.
>>> Why did you decide to leave the USA? <<<
Internationally the United States is the most violent country in the world today. Since the end of World War 2, the United States has conservatively killed 6 million people, the same number of Jews that Hitler killed in the Holocaust. By living in America with its high standard of living I was benefiting from this violence. Americans are willfully ignorant of what their country does overseas. As Martin Luther King said, The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. I cannot be silent. For 30 years I have attempted to find a career which speaks out against such international violence. I came to Russia because I have a voice here and Russians support my viewpoint. My visa expired in July, afraid to be prosecuted for the state and federal material that I brought to Russia, I applied for temporary refuge status from the United States, which is still pending.
>>> Other information <<<
FRIENDSHIPS IN AMERICA TEND TO BE MORE SHALLOW THEN IN RUSSIA. Russians help out their friends much more than Americans. Russians are more willing to lend money for example.
Women are very independent and feminism is very strong in America. It is common for women not to wear makeup (only 41% of women wear makeup every day). Unlike American television and movies, Americans dress really badly compared to Russians. Women don't need men to support them which make them more independent. Family ties are not as deep. People in individualistic countries like America tend to smile more. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19409419.2016.1262208 My Russian friends complain about how their children come to America and are very rude as pre-teen and teenagers. 84% of American teenagers have a smartphone.
In the past ten years political correctness is very strong and therefore freedom of speech is threatened. People cannot share how they really feel about different races, genders, people's appearances or age.
GENERIC NEIGHBORHOODS Unlike Russia, the standard of living in America is similar everywhere. Whereas in Moscow people have a higher level of living like Europe, but in the Russian village they are very poor. Like Aschan and Leroy Merlin here in Moscow, there are "big box" stores throughout the country, in every city. This means that every city looks the same. Russia has unique small stores owned by local people, whereas America has much less.

Why Russia is better than America
The next thing reason why Russia is better than America going to shock you - freedom. Do we have more freedom in Russia than you do in America? Do you have the freedom of speech saying that you don't want to serve the gay person, do you have the freedom to say what you feel about dating and women? Do you have the freedom to share how you feel about many of the deep culture war issues in America? There is no political correctness in Russia. There are no *snowflakes*. Freedom of speech is quite restricted in America. Come to Russia and see for yourself.

Culture differences matter
Excerpt from The Culture Map:by Erin Meyer
One reader commented, “Speaking of cultural differences leads us to stereotype and therefore put individuals in boxes with ‘general traits.’ Instead of talking about culture, it is important to judge people as individuals, not just products of their environment.”
At first, this argument sounds valid, even enlightened. Of course individuals, no matter their cultural origins, have varied personality traits. So why not just approach all people with an interest in getting to know them personally, and proceed from there? Unfortunately, this point of view has kept thousands of people from learning what they need to know to meet their objectives. If you go into every interaction assuming that culture doesn’t matter, your default mechanism will be to view others through your own cultural lens and to judge or misjudge them accordingly. Ignore culture, and you can’t help but conclude, “Chen doesn’t speak up—obviously he doesn’t have anything to say! His lack of preparation is ruining this training program!” Or perhaps, “Jake told me everything was great in our performance review, when really he was unhappy with my work—he is a sneaky, dishonest, incompetent boss!”
Yes, every individual is different. And yes, when you work with people from other cultures, you shouldn’t make assumptions about individual traits based on where a person comes from. But this doesn’t mean learning about cultural contexts is unnecessary. If your business success relies on your ability to work successfully with people from around the world, you need to have an appreciation for cultural differences as well as respect for individual differences. Both are essential. As if this complexity weren’t enough, cultural and individual differences are often wrapped up with differences among organizations, industries, professions, and other groups.
But even in the most complex situations, understanding how cultural differences affect the mix may help you discover a new approach. Cultural patterns of behavior and belief frequently impact our perceptions (what we see), cognitions (what we think), and actions (what we do).

Sociology course work: Week 1
Newspaper reports of the two events would surely be written as, in the first case, "A crowd of radicals engaged in riotous behavior" in the second, demented troublemaker broke a window while a group of solid citizens looked on."
Granovetter proposes that people have two choices and the cost or benefit depend on how many other
people have already chosen one of the two choices. There is a threshold, which is the number of people
who must choose a particular decision before the one person makes the same decision. The author
focuses on the variation and in a group of people, the one person who stands up and starts the riot, for
example. For the majority of people joining the riot are contingent on earlier instigators joining the
radical. He posits that a very small change in preference can led to a large change overall (Granovetter,
1978).</ref>

My discussion leader article
In the readings this week two authors discuss the successes of social movements, particularly the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Langman’s (2013) discussion of Occupy Wall Street relies heavily on the New Social Movement which looks at what motivates activists who strive for cultural change instead of economic accomplishments. She proposes the Occupy Wall Street can be best understood by a loss of legitimacy in economic markets and crises of identity cause by social disorder. For a social movement to form, these crises need to arouse collective negative emotions to mobilize the populace. These economic conditions are observed by activists through a moral prism. Activists must frame and advertise the movement in a way to appeal to the emotional needs of its members (Langman, 2013).
Engler & Engler (2016) explains what happens to a social movement once it has been mobilized. They postulate that disruption and personal sacrifice, along with creating dilemmas for authorities through escalation, is the key to success in social movements. Disruption is when people break the rules and cease to conform to traditional institutional roles. Personal sacrifice is a willingness to risk hardships including arrest or physical harm. Successful movements ask their participants to make personal sacrifices. The Occupy Wall Street movement was both disruptive and involved personal sacrifice (Engler & Engler, 2016).
Both authors conclude that the Occupy Wall Street movement was a success. Langman (2013) argues that the morals of America have changed because of the Occupy movement creating a moral foundation for social change in the future. She feels that it was the right choice that the movement had no concrete goals, because otherwise if they did not meet those goals, they would be seen as a failure. In contrast, Engler & Engler (2016) cite isolated small and personal state victories as successes (Engler & Engler, 2016; Langman, 2013).
Two clips from HBO’s ‘The Newsroom’ depict some of the issues of the Occupy Wall Street movement:
- What is the difference between the traditional Marx’s views on social movements and the New Social Movement which Langman esposes? What social movement does Engler & Engler support?
- How does Langman's measures of a successful social movement differ from Engler & Engler?
- Langman describes the United States as an ‘inverted fascism’ in which society is fragmented to stop resistance. What are examples of ‘inverted fascism’ in these two articles?

Final Social Change article
On any given day a person is displaced, tortured or killed, usually the United States shares the blame
The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. I cannot be silent. — Martin Luther King (Cohen & Solomon, 1995; King, 1967).
What are you willing to do for your deepest held beliefs? In September 2015 I moved to Moscow Russia to seek political asylum, knowing that I may never return. I almost died there. In September 2018 I will return yet again to help Russia subvert the United States.
Internationally, the United States is the most violent country in the world. Conservative estimates are that the United States has killed 6 million civilians and soldiers since the end of World War 2 (Tirman, 2011). The London based non-governmental organization Amnesty International explained that, "Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed…at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame" (Human Rights & US Security Assistance, 1996). The United States "maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries" (Vine, 2015).>i</ref> Today the United States nearly spends more on its military that the next fourteen countries combined,>ii</ref> accounting for the third of global spending on arms (Carroll, 2016; U.S. defense spending compared to other countries, 2019; Taylor & Karklis, 2016). The United States is the biggest arms seller in the world, selling half of all weapons on the global arms market, many of these arms are sold to friendly dictatorships which use the equipment to brutally suppress domestic and regional threats (Theohary, 2016; United States biggest arms seller, 2016). There are countless examples of American wars being waged today, such as the America's proxy War in Yemen. In the War in Yemen, the United States supplies the planes, arms, and logistical support to Saudi Arabia, it trained the pilots and it refuels the planes in the bombing runs against Yemen (Pawlyk, 2018; Turse, 2011; Wickenden, 2018). According to the United Nations, Yemen now has the "the worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time". Yemen faces the fastest growing cholera epidemic ever recorded (Nikbakht & McKenzie 2018; Carey & Algethami, 2018).
In The Death of Others, Tirman (2011) asks why the average American is concerned about the number of American troops killed in foreign wars, "but are indifferent, often oblivious, to the far greater number [of civilian casualties]" (Tirman, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015). The author cites three reasons for American's indifference. First, our self-image called the "frontier myth" – in which righteous violence is used to subdue or annihilate savages. The second reason is racism which ties closely into the frontier myth. The third is what social scientists call "just world" theory, which posits that humans "naturally assume that the world should be orderly and rational. When the 'just world' is disrupted, we tend to explain away the event as an aberration." Therefore Americans tend to ignore or blame the victims of American wars (Tirman, 2011, 2012).
One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. — Martin Luther King (1963)
If you were asked to be a member of the Underground Railroad for a slave would you participate? In Nazi Germany, if you had the chance to hide a Jew in your home, would you do it? Conservatively, the United States has killed as many people as Jews in the Holocaust, and they are continuing this death toll even today. While conservatives actively support the deaths of millions, liberals ignore the death tolls and instead focus on the deaths of mass shootings and deaths at the hands of the police, which is an infinitesimal fraction of the people that the United States government kills everyday. “All empires die of indigestion” Napoléon Bonaparte mused (The empire that is dead, 1996). The United States is on the precept of rapid decline and collapse. The last two empires, the Soviet Union in 1991, and the British Empire in 1956, both collapsed peacefully because of the invention of the nuclear bomb (Brown, 2001). Based on my social science research for the past two decades I am convinced that the United States and its people, inventor of the atomic bomb, is different, the United States will not go quietly into the night. Despite my virulent hatred of United States foreign policy and its arrogant and self-righteous people as a whole, I love the culture that I grew up in, I love a small handful of individual people in this county, and I love so much about this incredible capitalist empire. My deepest desire is for the United States to collapse and become a shadow of itself, but to implode peacefully and let China takes its rightful place as leader of the world, as it has done for the majority of the history of mankind.>iii</ref>
I have worked in the Peace Movement for two decades. The Peace Movement in the United States is a farce full of "useful idiots".>iv</ref> I have a viable plan to create a peace movement in the United States, but I do not have the resources or support of the American oligarchic government (Study: US is an oligarchy, 2014). Space prohibits me from explaining the history of the subversion of political movements by the United States and my personal experiences trying to launch a career in the Peace Movement in Washington DC in 2014 and 2015. As a result, in 2015, over a year before Trump was elected, I moved to Moscow, Russia to help subvert the United States and seek political asylum. I smuggled over a secret cyber security document to show the Russian government my sincerity. I had an incredibly troubling experience, while applying for political asylum the FSB (KGB) lawyer, across the street from the infamous Lubyanka headquarters, had me draw up a list of all of the websites I had created. I had the list on his desk and before I said anything, he pointed to my peace movement political action committee website and said this site is unacceptable. This told me three important factors:
- Unsurprisingly, like the United States, this proved the FSB was monitoring my internet activity and already knew about the website.
- At least at the time, the Russian government was not interested in me developing a peace movement against the United States.
- More importantly it showed that I would have to get the explicit permission of the Russian government to do anything in Russia. As a KGB spy in East Germany, Putin watched the collapse of the Soviet Union and is extremely anti-protest.
My Career Path
My Education
I already have earned three degrees, I have a bachelors in marketing, I am a lawyer, and I have a Masters in International Relations. My law school thesis on American violence in Colombia was my second published book. Currently I am earning a master’s degree in Sociology from ASU while concurrently earning a Masters from a very prestigious university in Moscow, Russia. I am studying in Moscow as a career path for two reasons: 1) To understand and learn the way the Russian elite run the country 2) Make crucial contacts in the Russian government. This university’s alumni includes some of the top leaders and elite of the former Soviet Union. I will apply for an internship at a Russian think tank in the summer of 2019. After graduation my career goal is to work for a Russian think tank or for a member of the Duma, Russia’s congressional body, advising Russia on how to subvert the United States. The ultimate, long term career path is in one to two decades, is to be the first American to ever be elected to the Russian Duma.

[ [iii]] I will non-violently do anything to subvert the United States, I will break any law and commit high treason against this country. Some may argue I already have. I smuggled in a secret document to Russia in 2015, and gave it to FSB (KGB) lawyers across the street from Lubyanka street (http://moscowamerican.com/index.php/Smuggling_classified_secret_cyber_documents_to_Russia http://moscowamerican.com/index.php/Smuggling_classified_secret_cyber_documents_to_Russia]). The United States government knows what I have done, indeed, I wrote a letter confessing as much in a FOIA request to the CIA and NSA in April. In addition, I sent a letter to the FBI about potential domestic crimes. I received back a form letter from all three federal organizations stating they could not give me any information. Although I have unsubstantiated theories, I am not sure why I have not prosecuted yet for my myriad of state and federal white collar crimes since I decided this path of action. I am not sure why I am free to leave the United States in September. Because of my activities in Moscow and DC, the United States has a file on me. Based on my study of the prosecution of political dissidents (Julian Assange immediately comes to mind) state and/or federal prosecutors could potentially compiling a case against me in which they can prosecute me for something which does not shine light on my larger crimes.

- In spite of the large amount of work done by other psychologists on peace issues, organizational psychologists have not been using the knowledge and methods of their field to help peace organizations. Organizational psychologists could contribute to peace organizations by studying research questions of concern to peace groups and by examining career patterns of peace activists, activist burnout and burnout prevention, and peace group effectiveness. Organizational psychologists could help peace groups through organization development training or career counseling. At the same time, organizational psychology has much to learn from working with peace groups. The field of organizational psychology can learn about decision making in large democratic organizations from innovative peace groups such as "Beyond War," which makes decisions in large groups spread out over the country which simultaneously communicate via video. Organizational psychology can learn about motivation through common vision from peace groups where many workers are extremely motivated by the organization's mission, even in the absence of pay. Also, studies of organizations (such as peace groups) that are anomalous in terms of existing theory have led to innovative and broader theories of organizational effectiveness. There is a need for organizational psychologists to become involved in the peace movement. (NB)

Introduction – description and significance of the issue
Internationally, the United States is the most violent country in the world today. Conservative estimates are that the United States has killed 6 million civilians and soldiers since the end of World War 2 (Tirman, 2011). The London based non-governmental organization Amnesty International explained that, around the world, "on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed…more often than not, the United States shares the blame" (Human Rights & US Security Assistance, 1996). The United States "maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries" (Vine, 2015).https://myasucourses.asu.edu/webapps/discussionboard/do/message?action=list_messages&course_id=_380810_1&nav=group_forum&group_id=_469816_1&conf_id=_787045_1&forum_id=_1629443_1&message_id=_32662953_1#_edn1 [i]] Today the United States nearly spends more on its military that the next fourteen countries combined,https://myasucourses.asu.edu/webapps/discussionboard/do/message?action=list_messages&course_id=_380810_1&nav=group_forum&group_id=_469816_1&conf_id=_787045_1&forum_id=_1629443_1&message_id=_32662953_1#_edn2 [ii]] accounting for the third of global spending on arms (Carroll, 2016; U.S. defense spending compared to other countries, 2019; Taylor & Karklis, 2016). The United States is the biggest arms seller in the world, selling half of all weapons on the global arms market (Theohary, 2016; United States biggest arms seller, 2016). There are countless examples of American wars being waged today, such as the America's proxy War in Yemen. In this war, the United States supplies the planes, arms, and logistical support to Saudi Arabia, it trained the pilots and it refuels the planes in the bombing runs against Yemen (Pawlyk, 2018; Turse, 2011; Wickenden, 2018). According to the United Nations, Yemen now has the "the worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time" and faces the fastest growing cholera epidemic ever recorded (Nikbakht & McKenzie 2018; Carey & Algethami, 2018).

(Vine, 2015).
What is the most difficult issue to overcome
In The Death of Others, Tirman (2011) asks why the average American is concerned about the number of American troops killed in foreign wars, "but are indifferent, often oblivious, to the far greater number [of civilian casualties]" (Tirman, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015). The author cites three reasons for American's indifference. First, American's self-image called the "frontier myth" – in which righteous violence is used to subdue or annihilate savages. The second reason is racism which ties closely into the frontier myth. The third is what social scientists call "just world" theory, which posits that humans "naturally assume that the world should be orderly and rational. When the 'just world' is disrupted, we tend to explain away the event as an aberration". Therefore Americans tend to ignore or blame the victims of American wars (Tirman, 2011, 2012).
I have personally worked in the Peace Movement for two decades. The Peace Movement in the United States is a disorganized ineffectively managed movement. As Downton and Wehr (1998) explained, for a successful and sustainable peace movement there must be a persistence dedication to the cause of peace. One of the most problematic features of today's peace movement is this lack of persistence in focusing on peace. Many of these groups have changed their primary focus to domestic and environmental issues (Marullo, 1996). I have a viable plan to create a peace movement in the United States, but I do not have the resources or support of the American oligarchic government (Study: US is an oligarchy, 2014). It is outside of the scope of this article to explain why a successful peace movement is not currently viable. But the reasons include the history of the subversion of political movements by the United States government and my personal experiences trying to launch a career in the Peace Movement in Washington DC in 2014. Engler & Engler (2016) explains that it is necessary to disrupt and provide personal sacrifice to create a successful social movement, which I am willing to practice. The problems arises in finding people to rally behind such a movement. As Granovetter (1978) explains there must be a threshold before the general population or a significant number of people join a movement. There simply is not enough interest in international affairs in the general public.
Best course of action - Conclusion
The United States is the most violent country internationally. The vast majority of Americans are indifferent to the plight of those the United States kills. Unlike in the United States, I do not have a viable plan for influencing peace in the United States while I reside in Russia. This is why I am concurrently earning two degrees closely related to social movements and political power. In addition to a master’s degree in Sociology from ASU I am earning a masters from a top university in Moscow, Russia. I am studying in Moscow as a career path for two reasons. First, to understand and learn the way the Russian elite manage the country. Second, to develop crucial contacts in the Russian government. I will apply for an internship at a Russian think tank in the summer of 2019 which will be my ASU capstone project. After graduation my career goal is to work for a Russian think tank or for a member of the Duma, Russia’s congressional body, advising Russia on how to influence and if necessary subvert the United States. I believe a peaceful world is possible, but the United States is the single largest international actor that is in the way of that peace. I have already showed that I am willing to go to any lengths and distance to find a peaceful solution to ending this violence.

TONIGHT I will be Talking about a journey. The journey we all take together, as a species. How we, as a human race, can literally change the world.
On May 22, 1787 twelve men met to abolish the slave trade worldwide. In one short generation the British Empire abolished slavery, paving the way for worldwide abolishment of slavery.
A world without war is possible.
The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade
In 1787, approximately three quarters of the people on Earth lived under some form of enslavement, serfdom, debt bondage or indentured servitude. There were no slaves in Britain itself, but the vast majority of its people accepted slavery in the British West Indies as perfectly normal.
The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade was a British abolitionist group, formed on 22 May 1787, by twelve men who gathered together at a printing shop in London, England. Within their lifetimes they saw slavery be abolished in Britain.[1]
- A Call to Action
This effort can be repeated today with American Foreign Policy. This can be done by actively positively encouraging our leaders to instead invest the money into our communities. Start with your congressional district today. Ask your leader to support peace, and tell them if they continue to vote for war you will reluctantly start a guerrilla marking campaign to alert the public that this congressman is someone who does not support bringing our war dollars home to your community.
The Idea That Brought Slavery to Its Knees
- 2 George Yard, London, England
The reverberations from what happened on this spot, on the late afternoon of May 22, 1787, eventually caught the attention of millions of people around the world, including the first and greatest student of what today we call civil society. The result of the series of events begun that afternoon in London, wrote Alexis de Tocqueville decades later, was "absolutely without precedent...If you pore over the histories of all peoples, I doubt that you will find anything more extraordinary."
The building that once stood at 2 George Yard was a bookstore and printing shop. The proprietor was James Phillips, publisher and printer for Britain's small community of Quakers. On that May afternoon, after the pressmen and typesetters had gone home for the day, 12 men filed through his doors. They formed themselves into a committee with what seemed to their fellow Londoners a hopelessly idealistic and impractical aim: ending first the slave trade and then slavery itself in the most powerful empire on Earth."[2]
Notes
- ↑ The Society achieved abolition of the international slave trade in 1807, enforced by the British Navy. The United States also prohibited the African slave trade that year, to take effect in 1808. Within their lifetimes these twelve men abolished slavery. It later was superseded by development of the Anti-Slavery Society in 1823, which worked to abolish the institution of slavery throughout the British colonies. Abolition was passed by parliament in 1833 with emancipation completed by 1838. 1833-1787 = 46 years

The Idea That Brought Slavery to Its Knees
The Idea That Brought Slavery to Its Knees By Adam Hochschild January 25, 2005 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-jan-25-oe-hochschild25-story.html
ADAM HOCHSCHILD'S LATEST BOOK IS "BURY THE CHAINS: PROPHETS AND REBELS IN THE FIGHT TO FREE AN EMPIRE'S SLAVES" Every Briton knows that the Magna Carta, which placed some of the first limits on the absolute power of kings, was signed in 1215 by a reluctant King John and his barons in a meadow at Runnymede, beside the Thames. Every American knows that the Declaration of Independence was adopted in Philadelphia in 1776, in the building later known as Independence Hall. But another such milestone, equally worth celebrating, too few people remember.
The document involved is merely the minutes of a meeting. And if you go today to the spot where the meeting took place, 2 George Yard, a small courtyard in London’s financial district, you will find no monument, no plaque, no troops of schoolchildren -- only the service entrance to an office building.
Yet the reverberations from what happened on this spot, on the late afternoon of May 22, 1787, eventually caught the attention of millions of people around the world, including the first and greatest student of what today we call civil society. The result of the series of events begun that afternoon in London, wrote Alexis de Tocqueville decades later, was “absolutely without precedent.... If you pore over the histories of all peoples, I doubt that you will find anything more extraordinary.” The building that once stood at 2 George Yard was a bookstore and printing shop. The proprietor was James Phillips, publisher and printer for Britain’s small community of Quakers. On that May afternoon, after the pressmen and typesetters had gone home for the day, 12 men filed through his doors. They formed themselves into a committee with what seemed to their fellow Londoners a hopelessly idealistic and impractical aim: ending first the slave trade and then slavery itself in the most powerful empire on Earth. The interests they were taking on were entrenched and influential. Britain dominated the Atlantic slave trade. Roughly half the slaves taken across the ocean to its lucrative West Indian sugar islands, to the United States and to other European colonies were transported in British ships. Starting an anti-slavery movement in Britain in 1787 was like starting a renewable energy movement in Saudi Arabia today.
The minutes of that historic meeting, preserved in a leather-bound volume at the British Library, are only a single page long, in the clear, flowing handwriting of the committee’s firebrand organizer, Thomas Clarkson.
They begin simply: “At a Meeting held for the Purpose of taking the Slave Trade into consideration, it was resolved that the said Trade was both impolitick and unjust.” Throughout history, of course, slaves and other oppressed people have periodically staged uprisings. Given the conditions under which they lived, that was only to be expected. But what made the movement that grew out of the George Yard meeting so unprecedented was this: It was the first time that a large number of people in one country became outraged -- and stayed outraged for many years -- over the plight of other people, of another color, in other parts of the world.
The movement took off immediately, in a way that earlier scattered abolitionist efforts, in both Britain and North America, never had. Petitions flooded Parliament, which the following year took the timid first step of regulating conditions on the slave ships. Slavery became the prime topic of the London debating societies. Anti-slavery books and posters flooded the country. In a seven-year period, Clarkson rode 35,000 miles by horseback through England, Scotland and Wales, setting up local anti-slavery committees.
No one was more astonished than the powerful slave owners’ lobby, which previously had only concerned itself with sugar tariffs and the like. “The Press teems with pamphlets upon this subject, and my table is covered with them,” Stephen Fuller, London agent for the Jamaican planters, reported in despair to his employers. “The stream of popularity runs against us.”
The outpouring, moreover, defied economic self-interest. From Sheffield, famous for making knives, scissors, razors and the like, 769 metalworkers petitioned Parliament against the slave trade, saying that even though their wares had routinely been purchased by slave-ship captains and then traded to buy slaves in Africa, they nonetheless “consider the case of the nations of Africa as their own.” Fuller was amazed that the petitions pouring into Parliament were “stating no grievance or injury of any kind or sort, affecting the Petitioners themselves.”
It took the movement more than 50 years from that first meeting to end slavery in the British empire. That goal was finally reached in 1838, a full quarter of a century before slavery died in the United States. No more chained slaves cross the Atlantic today, but the spirit that crystallized at George Yard is with us in a different way. In the idea that those who suffer “no grievance or injury” have the obligation to speak up for those who have suffered them lies the birth of the vision that human rights are universal.
In this very unequal world of ours, where decisions made in our own country -- on subjects including military intervention, the sanctioning of torture and the complex economics of globalization -- connect us morally to the farthest corners of the Earth, this is an idea that seems more relevant than ever. In that sense, the process born on that long-ago afternoon in 1787 is not only incomplete, it has barely begun. Psychological Research Explains Why People Protest
Nicole Fisher Contributor
Special police forces on duty during demonstration
GETTY
Whether it’s the outcome of a sporting event, anger at a perceived injustice, or an active uprising against government, protests are not the mindless mobs often depicted in the media and in movies. Protests are as old as human collective action. And while they may sometimes be unlawful in that action, the causes and intention are very predictable – meaning they could often be prevented if people better understand and acknowledged the psychological roots of collective behavior and crowd theory.
Experts in social psychology have done extensive work to understand the reasons that people protest, whether they be small and peaceful or large and disorderly. In fact, psychological research investigating and explaining the behaviors of crowds dates back to at least the mid-1800s. What makes a lot of this research so fascinating is the basic understanding that humans tend to prefer the safety and security of status quo. Thus, to join together in public action to fight against the norm - and create collective “disorder” - means that a number of factors have to be in place, uniting independent individuals.
History has shown us in every corner of the world, time and again that protests are the result of feelings like fear, frustration, and helplessness. And oftentimes it only takes one person to be the tipping point for collective action. But what are key ingredients for building an explosive environment? Here are a few of the emotional, environmental and societal factors that create and exacerbate protests:
Lack of Trust in Government or Authority: Being taken advantage of or lied to, causes panic and anger. And when these strong, negative emotions combine, there is no greater fuel for a fire. In 2019 it was estimated byPew Research Center that 2/3 of Americans did not have faith in the government, and that number has continued to erode as 2020 has progressed. In times when people feel they cannot trust those in power over them or there is palpable inequality separating them, they begin to revolt.
Shared Grievances: People in similar situations, whether they be financial, geographic, political, sexual, racial, or any other uniting factor, have a shared identity and purpose – even if only on one issue. But one uniting factor is all it takes. Because there are almost no emotions worse for humans than those of vulnerability and helplessness, those shared feeling can easily boil over, uniting people. And grievances, are a very strong motivation for mobilization.
Shared Intensity: When emotions run high, people make decisions they wouldn’t under “normal” circumstances. These can be good or bad decisions. Unfortunately, in many situations that involve groups of people, anger and frustration can build upon each other, until the collective rage spills over. In some instances, this can look like the reactions of fans during or after a sporting event. In other instances, this can look like the Salem witch trials. It fully depends on how people are able to feed off one another.
Geographic Proximity: Where one lives, and how close they are to others that share their beliefs greatly sways exposure to and acceptance of ideas and practices. Those next door to you have a more profound impact on you than those you see on tv living in another country. Geography is also a matter of volume. For example, it is much more common to see protests in densely populated areas than rural ones. Spontaneous collective action is easier the more people there are. And, the more people there are, the more likely the exposure to inequality.
Anonymity: Group behavior and dynamics are driven in many ways on the ability to be recognized. In some instances, people want their names and faces associated with what they believe in. But in many situations, due to fear of persecution, prosecution or retaliation, people will not act individually. However, when a group dynamic emerges, it is much easier to blend in, as well as share risk and disperse responsibility – thereby making it more likely that one is willing to take the risk.
Efficiency: When doing something alone, it can feel like a waste of time, energy, or money. For example, one small twitter account or one person writing a post online can feel like you’re shouting into a void. But when others begin to shout in unison, the noise becomes louder. And, when messaging is aligned (think hashtag campaigns), whether that be in-person or on-line, louder volume, greater funds, and more people means more time and attention on the issue at hand. Thus, our one small act feels like it carries greater weight and has more significant consequences. Efficiency leads to activation – sometimes called a “contagion effect.”
Survival Triggers: Adrenaline and stress hormones lead to the fight or flight response. And therefore our human involuntary responses kick in saying we are in survival mode. At this point we have an almost uncontrollable response that either tells us to stand our ground and fight, or turn and run from the danger. But, when we see others standing their ground, it’s much more likely that we will choose to do the same. But in any case, that undeniable human instinct plays a significant role in our immediate decision making.
Some protests are peaceful. Others are not. And while there is no handbook that can predict how each one will end, the predictability of a protest is well understood by social psychologists. The recipe has a number of ingredients, all of which are current factors in the day-to-day lives of Americans. How each city handles the collective tension, expectations and feelings of its citizenry is yet to be seen. But one thing is for certain, given how many of the characteristics necessary for a protest are happening in real time, much needs to be done – and quickly - to de-escalate tensions, restore faith, and calm the American psyche.

Whose lives matter in the USA
Anna Genova
16.06.2020
On the crest of the coronavirus, the Black Lives Matter movement (in Russian: “Black lives matter”), which opposes violence against the black population, has taken over America. In different cities of the country, some line up with a march against police arbitrariness, chanting the name of the deceased George Floyd, others trash shops and supermarkets, overthrow monuments, and others curse the rebels from the stands. Members of the Russian-speaking community of the United States were witnesses and at the same time hostages of this situation. We asked them to comment on what was happening.
“You don't care about black”
“In America, we have a little“ Battleship Potemkin ”performed by Eisenstein, a little quarantine, a little child’s disease of radicalism throughout the spectrum, a little spoiling, as well as cosmic rays, magnetic storms and sunspots , ” commented one professor and writer from USA.
I looked at photos and videos from the scene, and more than a month and a half of quarantine seclusion seemed an insignificant episode compared to the nightmare that was happening in the city where I lived for more than 10 years.
- It's pure politics - called me a familiar art dealer Greg of New - York . - What is happening now is a well-organized action. “The idiots they use,” I call the participants in the peaceful protest. Among them, leftists, antifa, anarchists - all the mob that lay at the bottom and realized that it was time to raise their heads. 4 months left before the election! If this happened 1 - 2 years ago, then no one would have paid such close attention to this situation.
Greg is a Republican, like most successful Russians in the United States. Recognizing Trump's certain mistakes, he will still vote for him as a bulwark of at least some stability.
- Unemployment plus sitting at home because of the coronavirus, plus escalating the press and social networks before the election ... And on the basis of all this, the push is the senseless murder of a black policeman filmed in a video. And then various forces use protests and pogroms, as they feel comfortable and as long as they need it. As before the previous elections, there is a sharp polarization of society, - said popular blogger Tatyana L.

Disrespect for the black population is just the tip of the iceberg. The real problem is the huge ghettos where even the police try not to go. People are born, live and die in the ghetto, unable to get out of there. Greg gave an example that in the Memorial Day (Memorial has a Day) - US national holiday dedicated to the memory of soldiers who died in all wars - 49 and 10 people killed were wounded in one of the most "running" the ghetto of Chicago, until the white demonstrators in the center of chanted slogans in support of “black lives”.
Here is one of the most honest videos published in recent days on Facebook.
- Blacks are killing each other! If you want to help them, go to the black ghettos, but don’t stand here! In fact, you will never go to the black ghetto, because you do not care about us! You don't give a damn about black, stop hypocritical! And no one oppresses me, I'm a free person, ”a black girl shouts at him at a white participant in a BLM rally in Chicago.
The state of Illinois is considered one of the “blue”, democratic states of the United States. However, instead of supporting the black population, the problem of segregation is constantly aggravated, because they do not provide any real assistance to national minorities - yes, they are paid an allowance, but they do not try to increase school subsidies or remove children from dysfunctional families - no one wants to go there.
“Where is she, freedom?”
“ When dismantling the monuments, do not touch the pedestals. They can still come in handy , ” said the Polish philosopher and wit Stanislav Jerzy Lets, and protesters follow his advice. Monuments to Christopher Columbus in Virginia and Minnesota have already been demolished, and in Boston - beheaded. Monument at the New York Columbus Circle day and night guards a police outfit. The list of demolished and desecrated monuments is constantly growing.

Another news that struck many: the famous American film Gone With the Wind (1939) was removed from the HBO Max broadcast grid. The film may still please moviegoers, but with a note about the presence of “controversial topics,” writes The Wall Street Journal. An interesting detail - the performer of the role of the black servant Hattie McDaniel became the first black woman to receive an Oscar.
The radical organization Color of Change ("Color of Changes") said that the police series " make heroes out of cops that violate our rights ." Meanwhile, the police are one of the most popular heroes among the inhabitants. In addition to the closure of the famous series "Cops", even the children's cartoon "Paw Patrol", which tells about a team of dogs that help residents of the town, is at risk. The team has a police shepherd Chase, due to which the creators of the series criticized the propaganda for the promotion of "good cops."
- We remember very well how in the days of the USSR they destroyed films with objectionable actors, banned music because it was not close to the people, is it really all repeated today on another continent? We went to a free country, but where is freedom? - the friend’s father shrugs his hands, who moved to America in the distant 1980s.
Well, and the music news: the famous Metropolitan Opera announced on the net that it will now hire far more African-American musicians. It's no secret that Met, like any worthy collective, conducts only blind auditions, so shocked musicians began to ask how this rule would be consistent with such a statement. It remains only to sympathize with the PR agent of the theater, because it is difficult to give an intelligible answer to these questions.
Discount police
Calls to strip the police (Defund police) became a unifying slogan of protesters and at the same time a political tool for Donald Trump, who accused his opponents of being soft-willed, promising to send the military to disperse the republic of CHAZ ("Capitol Hill Autonomous Region"), created by protesters in downtown Seattle, and other riots.
My friend Pavel from New Haven (Connecticut) lives in a well-maintained area and works for a large IT company.
“ I have practically no acquaintances among black Americans, but I, in my own limited experience with the police, understand that she does not favor them.” Therefore, I consider their complaints against the police justified. Pogroms and theft, of course, do not add love and trust. But they are connected with each other: rich and satisfied people are unlikely to go to rob stores. For some reason, the “black” regions of America are much poorer, which means education is worse and more crime, and the police are more afraid of them, ”he says .
Despite the fact that many Russian Americans agree that local police often mistreat African Americans undeservedly, and in general the image of the American macho policeman is popular in the United States, most do not agree with either a reduction in the number of police personnel or a weakening of it. When street riots began in New York, this also affected private entrepreneurs - and then the imposing-looking members of the Russian-speaking biker club Bratva took to the streets of Brighton Beach and the surrounding area. Volunteers began patrolling the streets on motorbikes, armed with stun guns and batons. So far, no criminal cases have been recorded in this area.

Stubborn numbers
Монмутский университет (Monmouth University) провёл опрос, согласно которому 76 % американцев (включая 71 % белых американцев) назвали расизм и дискриминацию «большой проблемой» в Соединённых Штатах. Это скачок сразу на 26 % по сравнению с 2015 годом. В ходе опроса 57 % американцев заявили, что гнев демонстрантов полностью оправдан, а еще 21 % назвали его «отчасти оправданным».
Тем временем статистические данные Remington показывают, что меры Трампа по отношению к протестующим одобряет чуть более половины населения – 52% (с каждым днём эта цифра падает), в то время как 31 % обвиняют в беспорядках левых, а 24 % обвиняют самих протестующих. 80 % всех опрошенных доверяют полиции, в то время как 46 % чернокожих респондентов не доверяют охранникам правопорядка.
Расслоение в школах
А вот требование активистов уволнять журналистов и учителей за неполиткорректность претворяется в жизнь гораздо быстрее, чем все остальные. На днях случился скандал с преподавателем Калифорнийского университета UCLA Гордоном Кляйном, передразнившим одного из афроамериканских студентов, когда тот спросил, не ожидается ли каких-то послаблений на экзамене в связи с ситуацией в Миннеаполисе. «Подскажите мне, как я могу узнать, если все занятия веду в Zoom, кто из моих студентов точно афроамериканец, какое послабление мне давать людям смешанных кровей и в какой пропорции?», – поинтересовался преподаватель. Антагонисты здорового юмора собрали уже почти 20 тысяч подписей за то, чтобы лишить преподавателя работы, к счастью, у профессора появилось ещё больше сторонников.
«Расовый вопрос» в колледжах обходят стороной.
– В приличном либеральном обществе об этом говорить не полагается, потому что в любом случае афроамериканцы – жертвы и только жертвы. Но это не так, на что справедливо указывал Барак Обама, – заметил в личном разговоре русскоязычный профессор-политолог.
Ситуация в школах от штата к штату разная, но далеко не везде государственные школы дают надежду на светлое будущее, а хорошие частные школы невероятно дороги.
Моя знакомая художница преподаёт искусство в чикагской публичной школе. Анна поделилась своим опытом столкновения с «системным расизмом» в штате Иллинойс:
– Система образования в Штатах устроена так, что государственные школы в основном финансируются из налогов на недвижимость того района, к которому принадлежит школа. Среди чёрных владельцев недвижимости гораздо меньше, чем среди белых, потому что ещё лет 60 назад, когда простые белые американцы обзаводились домами в пригородах, у чёрных такой возможности не было. Расизм был ещё узаконен, и им просто не продавали дома и не давали ссуду в банках. Сейчас по закону так делать нельзя. Но! 60 лет – это два-три поколения, за которые белые семьи свою недвижимость перепродали, поменяли на лучшую, передали по наследству детям и внукам и т. д. Недвижимость выросла в цене. Всё это время черные семьи жили в арендованных квартирах или домах, им нечего было передать детям и внукам. А самим детям уже гораздо труднее купить дом или квартиру, так как цены на недвижимость растут, а зарплаты – нет.
Возвращаюсь к нашим школам. Из-за этого расслоения на богатые белые и бедные чёрные районы государственные школы в них получают разное финансирование. Если в школе Нью-Триер в городе Виннетка (северный пригород Чикаго) есть два олимпийского размера бассейна, концертный зал, своя автослесарная мастерская, столярные мастерские, студии для работы по керамике и так далее, то в школе Харлан на 97 улице Чикаго, где я работала, ничего этого нет. В Нью-Триер приезжают представители крупнейших колледжей Америки, здесь они ищут подающих надежды студентов. В Харлан же приезжают представители армии и объясняют детям, что армия – это их единственный шанс получить образование. Вот и идут богатые белые ребята в Лигу плюща (объединение наиболее престижных университетов США – ред.) и получают высокооплачиваемые работы, а бедные чёрные, получившие слабое образование, потому что школе хватало финансов только на основные дисциплины, идут в армию или на низкооплачиваемые работы.
Недавно в некоторых районах Нью-Йорка начала действовать экспериментальная программа, согласно которой дети отправляются в среднюю школу по лотерее. Таким образом, каждый ребёнок может попасть в хорошую школу вне зависимости от результатов окончания начальной школы. Но тут возникает отдельная тема – права детей азиатского происхождения. Им и их семьям, наоборот, обидно, что появилась такая уравниловка, ведь, чтобы попасть в лучшие школы страны, они учились с двойным усердием. И на тебе – лотерея!

Keep Calm and Carry On
«Мой папа изменил мир», – сказала дочь погибшего Джорджа Флойда, сидя на плечах бывшего баскетболиста, друга ее отца Стивена Джексона, благодаря которому трагедия получила столь широкий резонанс. И это действительно так. Правда, в какую сторону изменится этот мир, сейчас непонятно.
Британский лозунг Keep Calm and Carry On («Сохраняй спокойствие и продолжай действовать!») появился в 1939 году. Королевская почта вывесила его буквально в каждом почтовом отделении, чтобы поднимать дух работников в тяжёлые времена, когда почту приходилось разносить по разрушенным улицам. Будем надеяться, что американцы, к какой бы национальности или расе, культуре или религии ни относились, обретут свои ориентиры, несмотря ни на что.

Anna Voronko 17.06.2020 To the south of Paris, in the small suburb of Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois, is the well-known Russian cemetery. Being a historical monument in itself, it contains tens and hundreds of other monuments, graves of people, officers and soldiers who found their last refuge in a foreign land. In addition to the monuments known to all participants in the Civil War, those who fought in World War II are also buried, of which much less is known.
Natalya Wenson: “We teach children to love their roots” 15.06.2020 In May 2020, the first meeting of a new public organization, the Association of Russian Schools in the United States, was held. The organizer of the association was the United States Corridor for Social Protection and Social Development together with the Rossinka Silicon Valley cultural and educational center for Russian-speaking families. We talked about the new organization with the president of Rossinka Natalia Venzon.
“Without geography, we are nowhere” 15.06.2020 Ivan Kolechkin is a truly happy person. He deals exclusively with what he likes and is interested in. But he is interested in a lot - to travel around the world, write poems, songs, come up with scripts for television and radio programs. But the main thing that unites all these hobbies is geography. A teacher of geography and a popularizer of science, he is convinced that by and large there is nothing that is not geographical.
Neskuchny Russian: slogans of time 11.06.2020 On June 12, 1990, at the first congress of people's deputies of the RSFSR, a Declaration on the State Sovereignty of Russia was adopted. The path of the new Russia can be traced by slogans and symbolic expressions that give an idea of what is happening in the country.
The basic law of Russia 11.06.2020 June 12 - Day of Russia and 30 years since the signing of the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the RSFSR. Against the background of updating the Constitution, the milestone looks especially symbolic. After all, amendments to the Basic Law are not only about social guarantees, protection of labor rights and the distribution of powers between branches of government. They are also about Russia - about its national interests and values.

"The loud little handful will shout for war. The pulpit will warily and cautiously protest at first…The great mass of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes, and will try to make out why there should be a war, and they will say earnestly and indignantly: ‘It is unjust and dishonorable and there is no need for war.' Then the few will shout even louder…Before long you will see a curious thing: anti-war speakers will be stoned from the platform, and free speech will be strangled by hordes of furious men who still agree with the speakers but dare not admit it...Next, statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." --Mark Twain |
In the War in Yemen, the United States supplies the planes, arms, and logistical support to Saudi Arabia, it trained the pilots and it refuels the planes in the bombing runs against Yemen (Pawlyk, 2018; Turse, 2011; Wickenden, 2018). According to the United Nations, Yemen now has the "the worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time". Yemen faces the fastest growing cholera epidemic ever recorded (Nikbakht & McKenzie 2018; Carey & Algethami, 2018).
US Senate: No military support for Saudi war in Yemen. Pentagon: LOL
https://qz.com/1514582/us-supports-saudi-war-in-yemen-even-after-senate-votes-no/
Just 16 days after a bipartisan group of US senators approved a resolution to end military support for Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the civil war in Yemen, the Trump administration is doing what appears to be exactly the opposite.
The Dec. 19 measure passed 56-41, and was the first time the Senate has invoked the War Powers Act of 1973, which requires the president to consult with Congress “in every possible instance” before sending troops into conflict. The four-year-old conflict in Yemen broke out when the Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran, seized the capital city of Sana’a. A Saudi-led coalition intervened and an estimated 50,000 people have died since. Nearly 12 million are reported to be on the verge of starvation.
“Today we declare we will not long participate in the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen which has caused the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth, with 85,000 children starving to death,” Bernie Sanders of Vermont said on the Senate floor. “Today we tell the despotic regime in Saudi Arabia that we will no longer be part of their military adventurism.”
The resolution was largely symbolic (GOP leaders blocked the House from taking up any Yemen-related legislation for the rest of the year), and the US Air Force today (Jan. 3) issued a request seeking suppliers to provide airplane parts—horizontal stabilizers, fuel lines, circuit-card assemblies, air inlets—to keep Saudi F-15 jet fighters flying.
“This solicitation provides a direct counter to the claims the US makes at times, that if the US didn’t sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, Russia and China will,” Andrea Prasow, deputy Washington director at Human Rights Watch, told Quartz. “But these weapons systems are all from US manufacturers and they require US parts, and they can’t get those from Russia or China. It’s useful for people to understand that even if Congress were to ban sales [to Saudi] tomorrow, it wouldn’t significantly alter the defense industry’s relationship with Saudi Arabia.”
Saudi Arabia has the third-largest fleet of F-15s in the world, behind only the US and Israel. Since March 2015, Saudi and coalition aircraft have carried out over 16,000 air strikes according to human-rights groups, nearly one-third of which have hit civilian sites including hospitals, weddings, and water-desalination plants. In August, a Saudi-led coalition warplane bombed a school bus in northern Yemen, killing 51 people, 40 of them children. The coalition blamed “mistakes in compliance to the rules of engagement.”
“The Saudis have prosecuted the war in Yemen with little regard for the United States’ views while simultaneously demanding the Pentagon’s logistical support and the uninterrupted flow of munitions,” Steven Cook of the Council on Foreign Relations wrote recently. As of November, US tankers no longer refuel coalition aircraft over Yemen. Yet the US military continues to provide maintenance, tech support, and training to the Royal Saudi Air Force, as investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein has reported.
It would be difficult to impose restrictions on Saudi Arabia use of US-supplied materiel writ large, said Scott Paul, Oxfam America senior humanitarian policy advisor.
“If your existing contract is for horizontal stabilizers for F-15s, how do you legislate that? Yes, it’s OK to provide horizontal stabilizers for F-15s if they’re not fighting in Yemen?” he told Quartz. “Members [of Congress] have been uneasy writing off entire defense contracts with the Saudis. They would rather find a more precise way to extract the US from its role in the conflict in Yemen.”
The public conversation around the US-Saudi defense relationship has made it out to be an all-or-nothing proposition. The F-15 procurement notice shows a bit of the “humdrum, everyday foundational piece that isn’t really entering the conversation,” Paul said. Military cooperation with Saudi Arabia will certainly continue in a broad sense, especially as the US has five strategic bases in the kingdom. However, he continued, “there are a lot of people who take exception to the fact that this alliance is uncontroversial.”
In September, US secretary of state Mike Pompeo said the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen was “undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.” Pompeo’s statement drew an immediate rebuke from California Democratic congressman Ro Khanna, who called it “a farce.”
Rep. Ro Khanna

@RepRoKhanna
Pompeo’s ‘certification’ is a farce. The Saudis deliberately bombed a bus full of children. There is only one moral answer, and that is to end our support for their intervention in Yemen.
If this executive will not do it, then Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution.
John Hudson ✔ @John_Hudson A month after a Saudi-led airstrike bombed a bus with children in it, Secretary Pompeo certifies today that Riyadh and UAE are "undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians"
Some legislators are now “trying to reshape the defense relationship around shared interests as opposed to a blank check,” said Paul.
Nevertheless, said Andrea Prasow, “This administration doesn’t intend to change its relationship with Saudi Arabia.”
How Yemen Became a Humanitarian Nightmare: Untangling a Complex War
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/13/world/middleeast/yemen-war-explainer.html
- June 13, 2018
When a civil war in Yemen erupted more than three years ago, it fractured what was already the poorest Arab nation and eventually plunged it into the planet’s worst humanitarian disaster.
While the world has turned its gaze from the prolonged conflict, it has ground on without easing and grown increasingly complex.
An assault by the Saudi-led coalition that has been battling Iran-backed Yemeni rebels for more than three yearsbegan Wednesday on the city of Al Hudaydah, which has a port that serves as a vital route for humanitarian aid and other vital supplies to the bulk of Yemen’s population. It was the latest turn in a situation moving toward catastrophe for millions of civilians.
The war has already killed thousands of civilians and left three million people internally displaced.
Who are the main parties to the conflict?
The conflict began as a fight between armed Houthi rebels from the north of the country and the government, then led by President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The Houthis are part of the Shiite Muslim minority in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia and its neighbor and close ally, the United Arab Emirates, intervened in 2015 because of perceived Iranian support for the rebels. The Sunni Muslim monarchy of Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran are rivals for power and influence across the Middle East, and Yemen has become a battlefield for one of the proxy wars between them.
Iran has denied supporting the Houthis, but Iranian-made missiles have been used by the group during the fighting.
Still, Yemen’s war stems more from a dispute about national political influence than sectarian conflict, analysts say.
The conflict has carved the country up into Houthi-controlled zones in much of the northwest, including the capital, Sana, and large parts of the south and east controlled by pro-government Saudi-led coalition forces.
How did Yemen’s conflict reach this point?
The conflict has its roots in Yemen’s Arab Spring uprising, which began in 2011 and forced the longtime authoritarian president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, an ally of the United States, from power. Though Mr. Saleh had led a unified Yemen since the 1990s, competing interests loosened his grip on the nation. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), one of the most potent offshoots of the global terrorist network, thrived in large parts of the country, and Houthi rebels gained power in the north.

Then, months after the Arab Spring protests began, Mr. Saleh handed leadership of Yemen to his deputy, Mr. Hadi, and stepped down. But Mr. Hadi struggled to control a nation already deeply divided, and Mr. Saleh continued to wield power by aligning with the Houthis.
By 2014, the Houthis and their supporters — including sections of the Yemeni military loyal to Mr. Saleh — stormed the capital and forced Mr. Hadi and his internationally recognized government into exile in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia and several allied Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates, intervened in 2015. Backed by the United States and Western allies, they launched airstrikes on Houthi forces and drastically escalated the conflict. The Houthis responded by firing missiles into Saudi territory.
Civilians, mostly those in Houthi areas, were increasingly caught in the crossfire. Then Mr. Saleh, the former president, was killed by Houthis late last year after he abruptly abandoned the alliance with them.
For millions under Houthi control, the Red Sea port of Al Hudaydah is the only supply route for humanitarian aid — including food and medicine — and other vital materials. An estimated two-thirds of the population relies on it.

The city is home to about 400,000 people, and with just two main routes in and out, a prolonged siege could leave hundreds of thousands cut off, unable to flee. Many aid groups pulled staff members out of the city in anticipation of the battle.
Wednesday’s offensive was carried out by Yemeni troops, trained and funded by the United Arab Emirates. Both the Emiratis and the Saudis have accused the Houthis of using the city to smuggle Iranian weapons into Yemen. United Nations monitors say it’s unlikely that weapons are being smuggled through Red Sea ports, and are most probably coming across land borders.
A humanitarian crisis threatens to worsen.

The United Nations and aid agencies have warned that an attack on Al Hudaydah could exacerbate an already out-of-control humanitarian crisis and called for a cease-fire.
“They must act now to secure a cease-fire before the people in Hodeidah city suffer the same fate as those in Aleppo, Mosul or Raqqa,” David Miliband, the president and chief executive officer of the International Rescue Committee, said in an email statement, likening the potential outcome to long-term sieges in Syria and Iraq. ' Relentless airstrikes have already shattered the infrastructure in many Houthi-controlled areas, with bombings damaging hospitals and sewage facilities.
Preventable diseases have run rampant. A 2017 cholera epidemic in Yemen was the largest and fastest outbreak of the disease on record. The United Nations has said both the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis have carried out actions thatcould amount to war crimes, and both sides have been accused of intentionally targeting dozens of hospitals and health care facilities as well as civilian centers.
Even before the most recent offensive, millions of Yemenis were teetering on the brink of famine, with about 60 percent of the population of 29.3 million categorized as food insecure, according to the World Food Program.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said that it had stockpiled food, medicine and water purification systems in the area in anticipation of the battle, but that the aid could not be distributed while fighting is underway.
“Real people, real families, will suffer if no food is getting in, and we are concerned that ongoing military operations continue to hamper the arrival of essential goods,” said Robert Mardini, the regional director of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The Economist: How Yemen became the most wretched place on earth
The new Gulf war
How Yemen became the most wretched place on earth
A report from a conflict zone the world ignores
Print edition | Briefing
Nov 30th 2017 | ADEN, HODEIDA AND SANA’A
ALONG the road from the port city of Hodeida to Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, rugged mountains rise sharply from a coastal plain, then level off, giving way to a raised plateau. Old stone farmhouses overlook terraced fields, fed by mountain rains. To the south are lush forests, where baboons and wildcats live. Yemen’s vast deserts spread to the east. The diversity of the landscape is breathtaking. But amid all this natural beauty, there is misery.
Yemen was the poorest country in the Middle East even before the outbreak of war in 2014 between Houthi rebels and government forces. The conflict has heaped devastation upon poverty. Since fighting began Yemen has suffered the biggest cholera outbreak in modern history and is on the brink of the harshest famine the world has seen for decades. The conflict has shattered the water, education and health systems. The UN says that it is the world’s worst current humanitarian crisis. Three-quarters of the population of 28m need help.
The war in Yemen, and looming humanitarian catastrophe, has gone largely unnoticed beyond its borders. The fighting is rooted in old conflicts and now involves many groups, sucking in Yemen’s neighbours. But no single force has emerged that is strong enough or competent enough to hold the entire country together, making the prospects for peace dim.
Yemen’s infrastructure has been crumbling for years, so it is difficult for a visitor to tell between buildings that are falling down through neglect and those half-levelled by explosions. But locals point out the damage wrought by a bombing campaign led by Saudi Arabia, part of an international coalition that supports the government. Although American and British military advisers have helped the Saudis to choose targets, and their governments have provided them with precision-guided munitions, or “smart bombs”, the air strikes often seem to miss their mark.
The Houthis, a group of Shia rebels, are the main target. Unhappy with reforms to the state and their share of power, they swept out of their northern stronghold in 2014 and overran Sana’a. With the support of Iran and the forces of a former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Houthis then moved south, taking control of most of the rest of Yemen. The president, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, fled—first to Aden, a southern port, then to Saudi Arabia, where he remains. At his request, the Saudis stepped in and, with local forces, pushed back the Houthis to the north of the country.
Coalition air strikes have targeted factories and food-storage warehouses, as well as the airport in Sana’a. The road from the capital to Hodeida is pockmarked with craters. At the port, the cranes used to unload ships have been put out of action. Once the lifeline of the north, it now operates at well under its former capacity. For months America tried to supply new cranes, but they were turned back by Gulf members of the coalition.
Ships and planes carrying food, fuel and medicine are monitored by the UN to ensure that arms are not entering the north. But the coalition still holds up shipments. In November it cut off northern ports completely for over two weeks. Even the more limited blockade has created a cycle of suffering. A lack of fuel has crippled water-pumping stations, so locals have resorted to drinking from dirty sources. Cholera is often the result. The medicine to treat it is also held up by the coalition.
Nowhere is safe
Nothing seems out of bounds for the bombers. About 40 health centres were struck by the coalition over the first six months of the war. Amnesty International, a pressure group, has accused it of deliberately targeting civilians, hospitals, schools, markets and mosques; and of using imprecise weapons, such as cluster bombs, which most countries have outlawed. A spokesman for the coalition once declared the entire city of Saada, home to about 50,000 people, a military target.
That is where Ali Marhad (see picture) lived before fighting about a decade ago forced him to flee. He moved into a camp for displaced people in Mazraq. But it was bombed in 2015 by the coalition, killing 40 people, including his two sons, he says. He then moved to a camp in Hajjah. Earlier this year another bomb fell near his home, a collection of sticks and tarpaulin. It is exceedingly difficult for ordinary Yemenis to escape the fighting.
This is home for Ali Marhad
At least 10,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed by bullets and bombs. Around 40 times more people have died in Syria’s war, which also sent a wave of refugees to Europe. Perhaps that is why it has gained international attention, while the conflict in Yemen is overlooked. Less than half of the British public is aware of it. The death toll is anyway misleading. Many more Yemenis have died from a lack of food and medicine than from the fighting, of which the shortages are a direct result. The war continues, though the front line has hardly budged in the past year.
Fighting is not unusual in Yemen. Sitting at the south-western tip of the Arabian peninsula, on important trade routes, the land has long been coveted by foreign powers. In the past century it has seen about a dozen conflicts, involving over half a dozen countries.
Some seeds of today’s fighting were sown in battles in the 1960s—a civil war in the north and an insurgency against British colonial forces in the south. Two distinct Yemeni states arose. Leaders in the north turned to religious authority for their legitimacy, enlisting the support of Islamic clerics. The more secular south adopted Marxism and aligned itself with the Soviet Union. Political feuding led to further wars in 1972 and 1979, but economic hardship and the end of the cold war brought the sides together. After a series of failed agreements in the 1970s and 1980s, north and south at last agreed on a new constitution in 1990, in the hope that a show of unity would attract foreign investment and increase the extraction of Yemen’s oil.
Money briefly flowed in and oil out. But simmering ill-feeling erupted into civil war in 1994 in which Mr Saleh’s northern forces were victorious. In the aftermath his General People’s Congress (GPC) dominated parliament, then set about consolidating power. Parliamentary elections in 2003 were postponed and critics detained. Mr Saleh and his henchmen are thought to have stolen billions of dollars of state funds, while most Yemenis got by on less than $3 a day. Resentment of his rule grew.
The Zaydis, a Shia sect, who make up perhaps 40% of the population, felt particularly marginalised by Mr Saleh (though he is one of them). The Houthis emerged from this group in the 1990s, bristling at the growth of the Saudis’ conservative religious influence and Yemen’s alliance with America in its war on terror. Mr Saleh, in turn, accused the group of wanting to overthrow his government. Hundreds of people died in fighting between the Houthis and pro-government forces between 2004 and 2010—including Hussein Badruddin al-Houthi, the group’s leader, from whom it takes its name.
Opposition to Mr Saleh’s rule came to a head during the Arab spring of 2011, when tens of thousands of Yemenis took to the streets. With a push from the Gulf states, he stepped down in 2012 and was succeeded by Mr Hadi, his vice-president. Thus began a short-lived period of hope. Talks overseen by the UN led to a plan in 2014 for a new constitution enshrining a federal system and a parliament split between northerners and southerners.
The Houthis, however, continued to distrust the government. They boycotted an election won by Mr Hadi in 2012 and opposed the agreement of 2014, on the grounds that it stuck most of them in a region with few resources and no access to the sea. Nor had they received positions in the government that they wanted. Their frustration was shared by Mr Saleh, who sought to undermine the transition in the hope of regaining the presidency or, at least, handing it to his son.
Resentment towards Mr Hadi and disquiet over the growing power of Islah, an Islamist party affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s main Islamist group, brought the Houthis and Mr Saleh into an unlikely alliance in 2014. In September of that year their forces entered Sana’a—and were welcomed by many Yemenis who had become disenchanted with Mr Hadi’s ineffective leadership. A power-sharing deal between the Houthis and the government was brokered by the UN—and then ignored. In early 2015 the rebels seized full control of the capital. By March they had made it to Aden.
Muhammad fears a Houthi
But it was also becoming clear that the Houthis, motivated by grievances, did not have a plan for ruling Yemen. In areas under their control, rubbish is piling up, cash is hard to get hold of and the lights have gone out. “My sense of it is that they never really had a clear political agenda, both during the wars with Saleh and after,” says April Longley Alley of the International Crisis Group, a think-tank.
The incompetence of the Houthis has been compounded by the involvement of Saudi Arabia. Saudi meddling in Yemen is nothing new. In 1934 Saudi soldiers retook towns seized by the Zaydis. Prince Saud, their leader, would later become king. Today Prince Muhammad bin Salman is first in line to the throne. But his adventure in Yemen, which seemed designed to build him a reputation as a strong leader, has led Saudi Arabia into a quagmire.
Responding to Mr Hadi’s call for help, Prince Muhammad organised a coalition that included Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain. They began striking Yemen from the air and the sea in March 2015. A month later the Saudis declared the air campaign over. It had “achieved its military goals”, officials said. A new operation would supposedly focus on finding a political solution in Yemen.
In reality, the war was just beginning. Over the next months, local forces backed by coalition air strikes (and later soldiers) pushed the Houthis back. However, they have not been able to drive them out of territory seized in the north, including Sana’a. So instead the coalition seems intent on starving the north.
The Saudis have created much of the misery that blights Yemen, but blame falls on others, too. The Houthis and Mr Saleh’s forces have also carried out indiscriminate attacks in cities such as Taiz and Aden. They have held up aid and are accused of war profiteering. Mr Hadi says the Houthis looted around $4bn from the central bank to pay for the war (the Houthis say the money was used for food and medicine). So he moved the bank from Sana’a to Aden in 2016 and stopped paying the salaries of public servants in the north. Schools and hospitals have closed and many northerners face destitution.
For Saudi Arabia, the region’s Sunni champion, the failure of its campaign in Yemen is twofold. Not only was it designed to reinstate Mr Hadi’s government—it was also supposed to send a signal to Iran’s Shia regime. The two powers are locked in a struggle for regional dominance that has spilled over into Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. The Saudis fear that, in the Houthis, Iran is nurturing a Shia proxy, akin to Hizbullah, the Lebanese militia that it backs. Yet again Yemen is the playground of bigger powers.
America has concluded that Iran does not exert “command and control” over the Houthis. But there is little doubt that it is arming the group. It appears to have supplied missiles the Houthis have fired. America’s most senior admiral in the region told the New York Times in September that Iran is providing anti-ship and ballistic missiles, mines and exploding boats that the rebels have used to attack coalition ships in the Red Sea. When the Saudis shot down a missile fired from Yemen on its way to Riyadh on November 4th, they called it an “act of war” by Iran.
The possibility that the war might end soon is slender. The Saudis have powerful backing to continue their fight. President Donald Trump has nothing but praise for them. When he visited Riyadh in May he applauded their “strong action” against the Houthis and agreed to sell them $110bn worth of “beautiful” arms. The war has also been a blessing for Britain’s defence industry, which has hugely increased sales of missiles and bombs to Saudi Arabia since the start of the war. As the European Parliament approved a non-binding arms embargo against the Saudis in 2016, David Cameron, then the prime minister, sounded almost Trumpian, praising the “brilliant” weapons that Britain was selling to the kingdom. His successor, Theresa May, at least expressed her concerns over the war.
America and Britain not only support Saudi Arabia but have blocked other countries from putting pressure on it. Along with France, which also sells weapons to the Saudis, they undercut a UN resolution in 2015 that would have set up a panel to examine abuses in the war. When urging the creation of a new panel earlier this year, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the UN high commissioner for human rights, condemned “the reticence of the international community in demanding justice for the victims of the conflict”. The panel was approved—but only after America, Britain and France had watered it down.
The UN has organised three rounds of peace talks. But Mr Hadi’s government insists that the Houthis lay down their arms and withdraw from the areas they have seized. The Houthis complain that they are the only group that UN resolutions ask to give ground. In May a convoy led by Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the UN envoy to Yemen, was attacked by demonstrators in Sana’a. “There will be no more contact with [him] and he is not welcome here,” said Saleh al-Samad, a Houthi leader, a month later.
As the war drags on, both sides appear unsteady. In the south the Saudis along with the Emiratis, who are the largest foreign force on the ground, have built an unwieldy alliance of Salafists, southern secessionists and other militias. “Whatever Gulf money can buy,” says an observer. Some of these groups are accused of working with jihadists, such as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, though the Emiratis have pushed back al-Qaeda. No one thinks Mr Hadi has a long-term future.
North-south divides
In the north the Houthis accuse Mr Saleh of negotiating secretly with the coalition (though they have done the same). Mr Saleh, who is the weaker partner, fears being left out of any settlement. Things came to a head in August, when clashes between Houthis and supporters of Mr Saleh led to deaths on both sides. They have since made up but tension remains high. And there is a split within the Houthis, between hardliners and moderates. The group’s leader, Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, is seen as willing to negotiate. However, analysts say that, the longer the war goes on, the stronger the hardliners become.
Some spy an opening. Ms Alley reckons that the divisions, as long as they do not develop into open conflict, are an opportunity for some kind of deal. “Carrots have to be offered to those willing to compromise—right now it is all sticks,” she says. Yet the Saudis, under little pressure from abroad, do not look like backing down and seem to hope that the population in the north will rise up against the Houthis. Frustration with Houthi rule is growing, something Mr Saleh seems keen to exploit, but so far the streets are mostly quiet.
Others may not want peace. Warlords profit from extortion or by selling looted aid on the black market. Mr Hadi’s government and other combatants are accused of creating shortages so that they can sell items, such as fuel, at a big mark-up. Even if the Saudis were to withdraw, many analysts think that the fighting within Yemen would continue—between northerners and southerners, the Houthis and Mr Saleh or Islah and any number of parties.
Ordinary Yemenis are less interested in such divisions. A crowd gathers around Ali Marhad’s tent as he dispassionately recounts his hardship. They come from Houthi territory, but they say they have no tribe, no money, no home, “just Allah”. Do they care who wins the war? “No!” they cry. They just want it to end.

The Economist: The war the world ignores How—and why—to end the war in Yemen
A pointless conflict has caused the worst humanitarian crisis in the world
Print edition | Leaders
Nov 30th 2017
YEMEN lost the title of Arabia Felix, or “Fortunate Arabia”, long ago. It has suffered civil wars, tribalism, jihadist violence and appalling poverty. But none of this compares with the misery being inflicted on the country today by the war between a Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis, a Shia militia backed by Iran.
The UN reckons three-quarters of Yemen’s 28m people need some kind of humanitarian aid. Mounting rubbish, failing sewerage and wrecked water supplies have led to the worst cholera outbreak in recent history. The country is on the brink of famine. The economy has crumbled, leaving people with impossible choices. Each day the al-Thawra hospital in Hodeida must decide which of the life-saving equipment to run with what little fuel it has.
Perhaps the worst of it is that much of the world seems unperturbed (see Briefing), calloused by the years of bloodshed in Syria and other parts of the Middle East, and despairing of its ability to effect change. To be cynical, Yemen is farther away from Europe than Syria is; its wretched people do not, on the whole, wash up in the West seeking asylum.
Yet the world ignores Yemen at its peril. Set aside for a moment the obligation to relieve suffering and protect civilians. Hard security interests are also at stake. The world can ill afford another failed state—a new Afghanistan or Somalia—that becomes a breeding-ground for global terrorism. Yemen, moreover, dominates the Bab al-Mandab strait, a choke-point for ships using the Suez canal. Like it or not, the West is involved. The Saudi-led coalition is fighting with Western warplanes and munitions. Western satellites guide its bombs.
Slippery Saleh
Like so much else in the Arab world, Yemen’s agony can be traced to the Arab-spring uprisings of 2011. Mass protests, a near-assassination of the then president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, and a shove from neighbouring petro-states forced him to step down in 2012 in favour of his vice-president, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi. A draft constitution in 2015 proposed a federal system and a parliament split between northerners and southerners. But the Houthi rebels, who had fought Mr Saleh, rejected it. The Houthis, who follow the Zaydi branch of Shiism (as do perhaps 40% of Yemenis), complained that, among other things, the constitution stuck them in a region with few resources and without access to the sea.
Now allied with Mr Saleh, who spotted an opportunity for a comeback, the Houthis ousted Mr Hadi from Sana’a, the capital, and chased him all the way to Aden. Saudi Arabia gathered a coalition of Arab states and local militias—among them Islamists, Salafists and southern separatists—and forced the Houthis to retreat partway. For the past year, the battle-lines have barely moved. The Houthis are too weak to rule over Yemen but too powerful for Saudi Arabia to defeat.
As a result, Yemenis have become the pawns in the regional power-struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Alarmed by Iran’s spreading influence, the Saudis have begun to speak of the Houthis rather as Israelis refer to the Lebanese militia, Hizbullah: a dangerous Iranian proxy army on their border. Indeed, the Saudis have much to learn from Israel’s experience. Even with the most sophisticated weapons, it is all but impossible to defeat a militia that is well entrenched in a civilian population. The stronger side is blamed for the pain of those civilians. For the weaker lot, survival is victory.
So, even though the Houthis are primarily responsible for starting the war and capable of great cruelty, it is the Saudis who are accused of war crimes. Often the accusation is justified. In their air campaign, they have been careless and incompetent at best, and probably cynical. Human-rights groups say bombs have been aimed at schools, markets, mosques and hospitals. And the blockade raises suspicion that the Saudis are using food as a tool of war.
The longer the war goes on, the more Saudi Arabia’s Western allies are complicit in its actions. President Donald Trump has given Saudi Arabia carte blanche to act recklessly (see article). He may think it is all part of confronting Iran; or he may want to support the liberalising reforms of the Saudi crown prince, Muhammad bin Salman; or he may hope to profit by selling the Saudis “lots of beautiful military equipment”. Whatever the case, he is damaging America’s interests. Precisely because of the importance of Saudi Arabia—the world’s biggest oil exporter and home to Islam’s two holiest places—the West should urge restraint on the impetuous prince and help disentangle him from an unwinnable war.
How? Peace talks led by the UN have begun with the demand that the Houthis surrender. That is unrealistic. Better to freeze the conflict and find another mediator, such as Oman or Kuwait. A deal should involve a phased withdrawal of Houthi fighters from Sana’a and the Saudi border, and the end of the Saudi blockade. Yemen needs an inclusive government, elections and a new structure for the state. Saudi Arabia will need guarantees that Iranian arms are not flowing into Yemen. Then it will have to cough up the cash to rebuild the country.
None of this will be easy. But a reasonable peace offer is more likely to crack the Houthis than more bombing. Without the cover of fighting Saudi aggression, the Houthis will have to answer for their failures. The public is increasingly turning against them, the alliance with Mr Saleh is fraying and the Houthis themselves are divided.
Stop the war
Right now, far from halting the spread of Iran’s influence, the war has deepened the Houthis’ reliance on Iran, which has an easy and cheap means of tormenting the Saudis. And because Saudi Arabia is bogged down in Yemen, Iran has a freer hand to set the terms of a settlement in Syria. The war is a drain on the Saudis at a time of austerity and wrenching economic reforms at home. They should therefore learn another lesson from Israel’s experience of fighting Hizbullah. If wars are to be fought at all, they should be short, and have limited aims. Deterrence is better than debilitating entanglement.

The Economist: Donald Trump’s Muddled East
America’s neglect and confusion aggravate problems in the Arab world
Giving free rein to Saudi Arabia is destabilising the region

Dec 2nd 2017| CAIRO
WHEN it is finished, America’s imposing new embassy in Lebanon will be its second-biggest in the world. Yet it was France, not America, that stepped in to resolve Lebanon’s latest political crisis. Speaking from the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on November 4th, Saad Hariri, the Lebanese prime minister, abruptly announced his resignation. What followed was a bizarre two-week saga in which he seemed to be under house arrest in the kingdom. Though America’s State Department criticised the move, it fell to France to negotiate Mr Hariri’s return to Beirut. He has since suspended his resignation.
Nearly a year into his presidency, Donald Trump’s Middle East policy could best be characterised as one of neglect and confusion. His term coincides with a period of radical change in Saudi Arabia. King Salman and his son, Muhammad, the all-powerful crown prince, have abandoned the Al Sauds’ plodding caution in favour of a more aggressive foreign policy. Their actions have unsettled friends and neighbours. Even Israeli diplomats, no fans of Mr Hariri, use words like “reckless” to describe the Saudis’ pressure tactics in Lebanon, which risked upsetting its delicate sectarian balance.
Yet the Saudis have found a receptive audience in the White House, particularly in Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law. Team Trump thinks that it has helped to kindle the liberalising economic, social and religious reforms of Prince Muhammad. Mr Trump has not evinced any concern about the Saudi-led war in Yemen that has, with American support, laid waste to the region’s poorest country (see Briefing). He has enthusiastically praised a Saudi-led blockade of Qatar, and a recent wave of anti-corruption arrests in the kingdom, even though American diplomats have deep doubts about both policies.
Many Syrians cheered in April when America bombed a Syrian air base in response to a chemical attack in Idlib province. Since then Mr Trump seems to have lost interest. Russia and Iran have filled the vacuum, helping Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, to reconquer lost territories. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, gave Mr Assad a warm welcome in Sochi last month, and then hosted the presidents of Iran and Turkey, both of whom support Mr Assad’s continued rule.
As The Economist went to press, Syrians were gathered in Geneva for another round of UN-backed peace talks. The opposition delegation is now stacked with figures willing to leave Mr Assad in power, a shift engineered by the Saudis. Under Saudi pressure Riyad Hijab, a former Syrian prime minister and a resolute critic of the regime, has resigned as head of an opposition umbrella group. The Saudis may be hoping, implausibly, to split Russia from Iran. America, which has long demanded Mr Assad’s departure, said nothing.
Other allies feel similarly confused. Mr Trump is cutting military aid to the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-led militia that paid a heavy price fighting the jihadists of Islamic State. Asked whether America would name a special envoy to mediate a dispute between Iraq’s Kurds and the central government in Baghdad, the State Department demurred. “They can probably work it out on their own,” a spokeswoman said. Even Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has been disappointed. He is unhappy with the latest “de-escalation” agreement in southern Syria, negotiated by America and Russia, which allows Iranian-backed militias within 5km of his northern border. Despite warm contacts with the Trump administration, Jordan, too, feels left in the lurch by American plans to halt financial aid to Arab rebels in southern Syria next month.
Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, the Egyptian president, met Mr Trump during the campaign, and was the first foreign leader to congratulate him on his victory. But he was stunned in August when America slashed $100m in aid to Egypt, and withheld another $195m until it saw “progress on democracy”. The move also astonished American diplomats in Cairo. “I had to explain this to my Egyptian counterparts the next morning, and I had no guidance from Washington on why we did it,” says one.
Spread the blame around
Mr Trump does not deserve all the blame for meek and muddled American policy. Barack Obama, though he called for Mr Assad’s removal, did little to support the Syrian opposition. The war in Yemen started on his watch, too. And, to be fair, Mr Trump is engaged in one area: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After much shuttle diplomacy by Jason Greenblatt, his special envoy, the president is preparing to unveil a peace plan in early 2018.
This is a rite of passage for American presidents. The last three tried, and failed. There is no reason to think Mr Trump will succeed, either. Israel is still led by a far-right coalition loth to make concessions, and the divided Palestinians by a government that lost its legitimacy years ago. But the Saudis have egged him on, knowing that the president is eager to strike what he calls “the ultimate deal”. By supporting Mr Trump’s efforts in Jerusalem, they hope to win a free hand in Yemen and elsewhere.
Mr Trump never misses a chance to criticise his predecessor. Yet he is repeating some of his mistakes. Mr Obama was accused of pursuing a nuclear agreement with Iran at all costs, and ignoring Iran’s meddling in Syria and Iraq. Now Mr Trump seems obsessed with reneging on the deal, which would weaken the curbs on Iran’s ability to make a nuclear bomb, and is doing little (apart from a few more sanctions) to contain Iranian influence.
He is enabling autocrats in Egypt, and losing the confidence of close allies, such as Israel and Jordan. Meanwhile the Saudis are free to pursue destabilising policies, and the future of Syria is largely in Russian and Iranian hands. “This is not a time for the US to be absent,” says another Western diplomat. “We need some supervision.”

Conflict in Yemen: From Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots
Gros A., Gard-Murray A.S., Bar-Yam Y. (2015) Conflict in Yemen: From Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots. In: Fellman P., Bar-Yam Y., Minai A. (eds) Conflict and Complexity. Understanding Complex Systems. Springer, New York, NY, pp 269-280. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-1705-1_15
Yemen is considered a global terrorist base for Al-Qaeda and in recent years rampant violence is threatening social order. Here we show that the socio-economic origins of violence recently changed. Prior to 2008, violence can be attributed to inter-group conflict between ethnically and religiously distinct groups. Starting in 2008, increasing global food prices triggered a new wave of violence that spread to the endemically poor southern region with demands for government change and economic concessions. This violence shares its origins with many other food riots and the more recent Arab Spring. The loss of social order and the opportunities for terror organizations can be best addressed by directly eliminating the causes of violence. Inter-group violence can be addressed by delineating within-country provinces for local autonomy of ethnic and religious groups. The impact of food prices can be alleviated by direct food price interventions, or by addressing the root causes of global food price increases in US policies that have promoted conversion of corn to ethanol and commodity speculation. Addressing the food prices is the most urgent concern as a new bubble in food prices has been projected to begin before the end of 2012. |

Violence has been common in Yemen since the founding of a modern state in the southern Arabian peninsula nearly 100 years ago [1, 2], but recent attacks and social disruption are particularly severe [3–5]. Yemen is one of the global bases of Al-Qaeda [6–10], with the attacks on the USS Cole in 2000 and American Embassy in 2008 as the most well known local incidents. Yemeni Al-Qaeda has also been involved in global terror activities including an alleged attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas Day of 2009. At the beginning of that year, Yemeni Al-Queda joined with the smaller Saudi Al-Queda to form Al Queda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The current social disruption increases concerns that Yemen may become an even stronger terrorist base, threatening security worldwide.
Here we show that the nature of violence in Yemen has changed between 2005 and 2011 from being ethnically and religiously based to being dominated by the effects of increases in food prices on an impoverished population. During the period of ethnic and religious inter-group violence, geographical locations of incidents are consistent with a theory that predicts areas of violence based upon the geographical composition of the population [11, 12], building on a tradition of geographic analysis in social science [13–15]. In contrast, the later period of violence begins at the time of globally increasing food prices in 2007, and spread from areas of ethnic conflict in the north to the endemically poor southern part of Yemen.
Our results have immediate implications for strategies to reduce violence and limit the growth of terrorist influence. Rather than direct military and security operations, effective interventions may require eliminating the primary economic and social drivers of violence. First, the immediate economic drivers can be relieved by addressing the problems of the global food market, which has been implicated more broadly in the revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East [16–18]. Second, by providing partial internal autonomy to ethnic and religious groups, the origins of the longer term inter-group violence can also be alleviated [12].
The interventions we identify would not only address the growing security risks, but also improve the living conditions of millions of people, reducing severe poverty, social disruption and endemic violence. Indeed, these two goals are directly linked as the social and economic conditions are the origins of social disorder, in whose shadow terrorist activities can grow.
Our analysis of violence in Yemen begins from an understanding of the role of geography in conflict between distinct self-identifying groups defined by properties like ancestry, culture, language, and religion [11, 12]. In this paper we use the term ethnic violence to describe this
kind of inter-group conflict. Such violence is typically though not exclusively directed against or by civilians. When self-identifying groups are either sufficiently separated or sufficiently well-mixed, violence is unlikely. Separation limits inter-group friction, while integration inhibits inter-group alienation. Ethnic violence occurs most frequently in areas that have a certain intermediate degree of population separation, but in which control of the area is not separated accordingly, i.e. neither political nor physical boundaries exist to allow for local autonomy. In places where self-identifying groups separate into geographical patches of a critical size, in the range of 20-60 km, a group is able to impose its cultural norms, religious values, language differences and in-group social signaling within public spaces. These spaces may include public squares, markets, restaurants, places of worship and schools. However, when social expectations are violated because of the proximity of other ethnic domains, the resulting friction is likely to cause radicalization of some members of the population. Even a small radicalized minority is enough to lead to endemic conflict, and the propensity for violence becomes high. The violence may engage political and military components. Still, the origin of the conflict in the self-identity of the groups is likely to be manifest in violence directed against those who are not politically or militarily powerful. For patches larger than the critical geographical size individuals remain largely within their own domains and de facto local sovereignty exists. If patches are smaller than the critical size, ethnic groups cannot impose their own norms and expectations about behavior in public spaces, allowing for the peaceful coexistence of the multiple ethnic groups that are present. Natural and political boundaries can increase autonomy to allow for separation that can prevent violence in areas where it would otherwise occur. Tests of ethnic violence in various parts of the world have indeed shown that ethnic violence occurs in the vicinity of patches of a critical size without well-defined boundaries [11, 12].
In contrast to ethnic violence, social unrest reflecting socio-economic despair is often directed against authorities that fail to satisfy the most basic needs of the population, especially available or affordable food. Indeed, the relationship between food prices and social unrest has been demonstrated [16, 19–22]. Food riots around the world in 2007-8 and 2010-11 were triggered by steep increases in food prices. Since Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Arab World [23], increases in food prices severely impact a large portion of the population [24]. According to the World Bank’s 2007 Poverty Assessment Report, 35% of the country’s population is classified as poor [25].

In order to perform a more detailed and quantitative analysis we start by considering the ethnic geography of Yemen. There are four commonly described self-identifying ethnic and religious groups in Yemen: Zaydi Shiites, Ismaili Shiites, mainstream (Shafi’i) Sunnis and Salafi (Wahhabi) Sunnis. Together these groups are estimated to represent 99% of the population (55% Sunni and about 44% Shiite) [26]. Yemen’s societal structure has a strong tribal aspect, especially in rural areas [1, 27]. While neither tribal allegiances nor political attitudes necessarily align with their members’ religious denomination [6], it is nevertheless reasonable to assume as a first approximation that conflict arises between self-identified ethnic and religious groups. Obtaining data about the geographical distribution of these groups is difficult as there is no direct census and the distribution has changed in recent times, especially due to the spread of Salafism [28]. Moreover, since political and religious affiliations may be linked, various movements including the Moslem Brotherhood may have both political and religious connotations. For our analysis of ethnicity and violence we use spatial demographic data from 2004 [29] to identify the populated areas and an approximate map of the spatial distribution of the four major groups in 2000 obtained from a compilation of sources [30] to identify ethnic compositions, as shown in Figure 1. The approximate nature of the available data limits the precision of the calculations we perform. Demographic dynamics, specifically the spread of Salafism in recent years changed the sectarian associations across Yemen. Our conclusions only depend on very general features of spatial geography, specifically the presence of groups of a given geographic size in a region of the country. The conclusions are therefore robust to all but very specific localized changes relative to surrounding areas. This is a strength of our method, especially in application to areas where data is poor and changes are ongoing. Data on violent incidents was obtained from the Worldwide Incident Tracking System (WITS) [31] from which we selected the incidents that involved civilian casualties.
We calculated the propensity for violence in any given populated area by identifying patches of ethnic groups of a critical size of 56 km. This size is consistent with the value that provides predictive success in other countries [11, 12]. Mathematically we use a wavelet filter [11] that weighs the presence of ethnic types in a circular area around a focal point against the presence of ethnic types in the surrounding area. If ethnic types are well mixed or the whole area is populated uniformly by only one type, the output of the filter is small. However, if the inner area is populated by a different type than the surrounding area, forming

We quantify the level of agreement between our prediction and the data on violent inci-dents by correlating maps of shortest distances to locations of violent incidents and locations of predicted violence. We calculate the distance to the closest violent incident and the clos-est location of predicted violence at every point on the spatial mesh for a given year. We consider a location of predicted violence to be any point where the violence potential is above a threshold of 0.48 (the average propensity to violence plus two standard deviations).
We performed the analysis for the western part of Yemen, in which most of Yemen’s population resides (see vertical dashed line in Figure 2). Figure 3 shows the correlations between shortest distances to actual and predicted locations of ethnic violence in the west

over time. The correlation values are approximately 0.70 for 2005, 2006, and 2007, and drop to between -0.2 and 0.20 for 2008 through 2011, showing a distinct shift away from ethnically-motivated conflict. The confidence values for the correlations in years 2005, 2006, and 2007 are 98%, 97%, and 99%, respectively. We calculate confidence intervals using 100,000 trials with random placement of the same number of predicted locations of violence within the western part of Yemen and compare the correlations between the corresponding maps of shortest distances. The correlation values for the years 2005, 2006, and 2007 are lower than reported in previous studies [11, 12], perhaps due to the limitations of the geographic ethnic data and reporting of incidents in the Worldwide Incident Tracking System for these years. However, the confidence values for 2005, 2006, and 2007 are still well above 95%. Our results are consistent with reports that ethnic violence plays a significant role in Yemen resulting in the deaths of more than 2,000 people annually [32]. Some violence is politicized in the form of the Houthi rebellion, but it also has sectarian roots and manifests in violence against civilians in a manner characteristic of ethnic conflict [33–35].
The marked drop in correlations after 2007 indicates that the nature of the conflict changed and was no longer solely ethnically motivated. In order to identify the origins of violence after 2007 we turn to an understanding of social unrest in which food prices are a key component [16]. Figure 4 shows the global Food Price Index over time and the occurrence of food riots and revolutions associated with the Arab Spring [16]. The dates of the food riots in Yemen in early 2008 and 2011 are marked in red and coincide with similar events in many other countries. The co-occurrence of global food riots with large spikes in food prices is consistent with a causal role of food prices in social unrest. (An alternative hypothesis positing that the spread of Salafism caused the violence in the south is not supported by direct analysis, indicating they were not particularly involved [28].) Figure 4 shows that food riots in 2007-08 and 2010-11 were not a local phenomenon, but affected a broad spectrum of regions in Africa and the Middle East as well as Haiti and India. We can therefore understand the appearance of social unrest at these times based upon a hypothesis that widespread unrest is not necessarily related to governmental activities, or, in the case of Yemen, to terrorist actions. Instead, social unrest is induced by the government’s perceived failure to provide food security to the population [16]. The poverty prevalent in Yemen [3], and southern Yemen’s dependency on imported wheat [6, 24, 36], similar to Egypt and Tunisia [37], in combination with rising food prices, are very likely to have been

Figure 4: Global food price index and the occurrence of food riots (number of casualties in brackets); food riots in Yemen are marked red; reproduced with permission from [16] the underlying trigger for violent incidents in 2008 and later.
Geographically, the violence in 2008 expanded from the north to the south. The southern violence can be understood from the recent political and economic history of Yemen. From 1967 through 1990 South Yemen existed as an independent state. The separation between North and South Yemen is partially, but not completely, according to ethnic regions. After unification in 1990, the north dominated and the south was economically marginalized. Ownership of resources was transferred to northern individuals and organizations [38–40]. The corresponding political disaffection manifested in a brief civil war in 1994. In 2007, during the first food price peak, political discontent coalesced into the Southern Movement, which was reenergized by food riots in 2010 to demand a wide range of economic and social concessions [41, 42]. While the expansion of violence to the south is a key change, poverty
- End of page 9
is also widespread in the north. An increase in violent activity in 2008 and 2010 in the north can be attributed to food based riots overlaid upon the preexisting ethnic conflict. Similar to other countries associated with recent revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East, the unrest based on food riots developed into a broader revolutionary process based upon persistent economic and social conditions, with implications for both local political instability and global terror.
Our work has identified two major sources of violence in Yemen: partial ethnic separation with poorly defined boundaries and unreliable food security for a vulnerable population. These conclusions have direct implications for policy.
The most urgent socioeconomic problem driving violence is high food prices. Recent work has shown that there is likely to be another food price bubble by the end of 2012 [43]. Based on this prediction conditions in Yemen will deteriorate if no mediating policy changes take effect to lower food prices. Current political efforts to broaden the governmental basis through assembling a National Dialogue Conference aim to tackle political grievances but do not address the problems of food prices. The most direct method to achieve food price stability is to provide subsidies as have been implemented in many countries in the face of the inability of the population to afford available food. Such subsidies are, however, difficult to afford for impoverished countries and would require external financing. More fundamentally, while many different factors have been considered for causing the rise of global food prices, a quantitative analysis has shown that the drivers of food price increases originate in US agricultural policies that are affecting food prices globally. These include two distinct domains of domestic policy. The first is subsidies for corn-to-ethanol conversion, which resulted in growth over less than a decade from negligible rates to 40% of the US corn crop being converted to ethanol [44]. More recently, concerns about their impact has led to the elimination of these subsidies as of December, 2011 [45]. However, regulations that specify the amount of ethanol to be produced continue [46] The second is the elimination of constraints on commodity speculation in 2000 [47], which led to rapid growth of speculative activity through commodity index funds that do not follow supply and demand, and result in speculative bubbles [48, 49]. The Commodity Future Trading Commission is in the process of reimposing constraints on commodity trading to avoid speculative bubbles [50, 51]. However, the market participants are seeking to dilute the impact of these new regulations [52–56] These examples show that increased attention to the impact of food prices and their role
- End of page 10
in global social unrest necessarily links global security planning and domestic agricultural policy.
The violence that is ethnic in nature could be dramatically reduced by increasing political independence by establishing internal country boundaries between ethnic groups [12]. The paradigmatic example of the use of internal political boundaries to successfully promote peace is that of the Cantons in Switzerland which were established to separate Catholic and Protestant populations at a time when conflict was prevalent. The success of this approach of internal autonomous regions can be considered a model for other areas of the world. The value of a federal system of governance to reduce the propensity for violence in Yemen has been recently suggested [57]. More political self-determination has been demanded by the Southern Movement [42] and would most likely be easier to implement than separate nations. One form of potential boundary is the implementation of road blocks, which are currently used by the government as well as by tribes [58], Al-Qaeda, and Ansar al-Sharia [59]. However, access control is met with hostility where the authority over group territories is not legitimized or established historically. Legitimizing partial autonomy in a context of central government power, in regions determined by the geographical distribution of the main ethnic groups, would be effective according to our analysis.
We have shown that science can directly analyze social disruption and violence and iden-tify their causes, as well as provide recommendations about policy changes to mitigate them. Our framework enables us to consider violence within its socioeconomic context. Terrorist organizations proliferate in the power vacuum in countries in which the government is in-herently unable to provide order. For the specific case of Yemen, insurgents benefit from and amplify existing social disruption as the government and military are caught up in con-flicts stemming from food insecurity and ethnic differences. Food prices and ethnic conflict can be seen to play a direct role [60]. We recommend the implementation of jointly de-fined internal political boundaries, within which the different groups can enjoy a degree of self-determination, in addition to lowering food prices through within-country subsidies and global food policy actions, as these measures have the greatest chance of stabilizing Yemen.

"The loud little handful will shout for war. The pulpit will warily and cautiously protest at first…The great mass of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes, and will try to make out why there should be a war, and they will say earnestly and indignantly: ‘It is unjust and dishonorable and there is no need for war.' Then the few will shout even louder…Before long you will see a curious thing: anti-war speakers will be stoned from the platform, and free speech will be strangled by hordes of furious men who still agree with the speakers but dare not admit it...Next, statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." --Mark Twain |
The only viable way that US peace organizations can effect change in the United States is through elections. Every other organization in the United States is controlled by the military. A peace NGO can form a PAC similar to the National Rifle Association. This PAC/NGO will support either candidate, on the left or on the right. For example, the NGO would publicly support antiwar Tea Party candidates and Rand Paul.
In the first election cycle, in 2022, the PAC/NGO will mobilize in one blue state, against, for example, a vulnerable blue dog democrat. This PAC/NGO will use guerilla marketing against the vulnerable blue dog democrat. If the vulnerable blue dog Democrat loses, the strategy is replicated in 2024 with 3 election races. If the vulnerable blue dog Democrat wins, the PAC/NGO reassess its strategy, and repeats this strategy in 2024.

Guerrilla Marketing

Guerrilla Campaign (Noun) - is an advertisement strategy concept designed for businesses to promote their products or services in an unconventional way with little budget to spend. This involves high energy and imagination focusing on grasping the attention of the public at a more personal and memorable level. |
In late 2014 I was working @ Peace Action Montgomery. After brainstorming ideas about mascots with the group, during the 2014 Election we dressed up as the "Peace Chicken" (in the spirit of "Chicken George" that hounded George Bush Sr) and followed around Maryland 6th District Democratic Delaney, a multimillionaire who has only a score of 63% on Peace Action West and was the most vulnerable candidate in the area. Delaney was being challenged by Republican Dan Bongino. Bongino promised peace. We met with the Bongino campaign before launching the "Peace Chicken" mascot and he supported our efforts.
The 2014 election was right before Halloween, only eight days before the election, inspired by the 1996 election with "Chicken George", we bought a chicken suit from Party Center in Rockville. We then tried to "Roger and Me" Delany (ambush and ask Delaney unpopular questions on video tape). We called reporters and emailed attempted to find out where he was going to be next. Unfortunately, because the election was only a couple of days away, we never caught Delaney on camera.
- But we did stand outside of his campaign headquarters for the last three days of the election in chicken costumes, eight hours a day, and waved signs supporting Bongino's peace promises.
The website, peacechicken.com has expired, but I have copies of the website.
Despite incumbent Delany having a huge war chest, and spending millions of dollars of his own money on the campaign, Bongino lost the election by only 5,000 votes. Peace Action Montgomery had a part in this extremely narrow victory.

Notes
May1787 * Iraq War |
The Pentagon paid 500 million dollars to British PR firm to make fake Al Qaeda videos during the Iraq War.
US government spent over $500m on fake Al-Qaeda propaganda videos that tracked location of viewers. The Pentagon hired a UK-based PR firm to produce and disemminate videos during the Iraq War A former contractor for a UK-based public relations firm says that the Pentagon paid more than half a billion dollars for the production and dissemination of fake Al-Qaeda videos that portrayed the insurgent group in a negative light. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reported that the PR firm, Bell Pottinger, worked alongside top US military officials at Camp Victory in Baghdad at the height of the Iraq War. The agency was tasked with crafting TV segments in the style of unbiased Arabic news reports, videos of Al-Qaeda bombings that appeared to be filmed by insurgents, and anti-insurgent commercials – and those who watched the videos could be tracked by US forces. The report of Bell Pottinger’s involvement in the video hearkens back to more than 10 years ago, when the Washington-based PR firm Lincoln Group was revealed to have produced print news stories and placed them in Iraqi newspapers. According to the Los Angeles Times, who obtained the 2005 documents, the stories were intended to tout the US-led efforts in Iraq and denounce insurgent groups. The key players in the Iraq War 11 show all Bell Pottinger was first tasked by the interim Iraqi government in 2004 to promote democratic elections. They received $540m between May 2007 and December 2011, but could have earned as much as $120m from the US in 2006. Lord Tim Bell, a former Bell Pottinger chairman, confirmed the existence of the contract with the Sunday Times. The Pentagon also confirmed that the agency was contracted under the Information Operations Task Force, but insisted that all material distributed was “truthful”. However, former video editor Martin Wells, who worked on the IOTF contract with Bell Pottinger, said they were given very specific instructions on how to produce the fake Al-Qaeda propaganda films.
According to Mr Wells’ account, US Marines would then take CDs containing the videos while on patrol, then plant them at sites during raids. “If they’re raiding a house and they’re going to make a mess of it looking for stuff anyway, they’d just drop an odd CD there,” he said.
“If one if looked at in the middle of Baghdad … you know there’s a hit there,” Mr Wells said. “If one, 48 hours or a week later shows up in another part of the world, then that’s the more interesting one, and that’s what they’re looking for more, because that gives you a trail.” Mr Wells said the CDs were viewed in countries like Iran, Syria, and the United States. The programmes produced by Bell Pottinger would move up the chain of command, often requiring the signatures of high level generals, including Gen David Petraeus, and could sometimes go as high up as the White House for approval. Lord Bell maintains that Bell Pottinger’s work in Iraq was beneficial to the overall effort.

Even after ten years, it's still too early to tell “We did a lot to help resolve the situation,” he said. “Not enough. We did not stop the mess which emerged, but it was part of the American propaganda machinery.” But Mr Wells is not quite as convinced. “I mean if you look at the situation now, it wouldn’t appear to have worked,” he said. “But at the time, who knows, if it saved one life it [was] a good thing to do." |

Then the few will shout even louder…Before long you will see a curious thing: anti-war speakers will be stoned from the platform, and free speech will be strangled by hordes of furious men who still agree with the speakers but dare not admit it...Next, statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." --Mark Twain |

Section 2. Proclaiming Your Dream: Developing Vision and Mission Statements
Your vision is your dream. It's what your organization believes are the ideal conditions for your community; that is, how things would look if the issue important to you were completely, perfectly addressed. It might be a world without war... (emphasis my own) - ↑ Section 2. Proclaiming Your Dream: Developing Vision and Mission Statements
Mission statements are similar to vision statements, in that they, too, look at the big picture. However, they're more concrete, and they are definitely more "action-oriented" than vision statements. Your vision statement should inspire people to dream; your mission statement should inspire them to action.
The mission statement might refer to a problem, such as an inadequate housing, or a goal, such as providing access to health care for everyone. And, while they don 't go into a lot of detail, they start to hint - very broadly - at how your organization might fix these problems or reach these goals.

- On any given day a person is displaced, tortured or killed, usually the United States shares the blame
- The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. I cannot be silent. — Martin Luther King (Cohen & Solomon, 1995; King, 1967).
What are you willing to do for your deepest held beliefs? In September 2015 I moved to Moscow Russia to seek political asylum, knowing that I may never return. I almost died there. In September 2018 I will return yet again to help Russia subvert the United States.
Internationally, the United States is the most violent country in the world. Conservative estimates are that the United States has killed 6 million civilians and soldiers since the end of World War 2 (Tirman, 2011). The London based non-governmental organization Amnesty International explained that, "Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed…at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame" (Human Rights & US Security Assistance, 1996). The United States "maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries" (Vine, 2015).[1] Today the United States nearly spends more on its military that the next fourteen countries combined[2], accounting for the third of global spending on arms (Carroll, 2016; U.S. defense spending compared to other countries, 2019; Taylor & Karklis, 2016). The United States is the biggest arms seller in the world, selling half of all weapons on the global arms market, many of these arms are sold to friendly dictatorships which use the equipment to brutally suppress domestic and regional threats (Theohary, 2016; United States biggest arms seller, 2016). There are countless examples of American wars being waged today, such as the America's proxy War in Yemen. In the War in Yemen, the United States supplies the planes, arms, and logistical support to Saudi Arabia, it trained the pilots and it refuels the planes in the bombing runs against Yemen (Pawlyk, 2018; Turse, 2011; Wickenden, 2018). According to the United Nations, Yemen now has the "the worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time". Yemen faces the fastest growing cholera epidemic ever recorded (Nikbakht & McKenzie 2018; Carey & Algethami, 2018).
In The Death of Others, Tirman (2011) asks why the average American is concerned about the number of American troops killed in foreign wars, "but are indifferent, often oblivious, to the far greater number [of civilian casualties]" (Tirman, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015). The author cites three reasons for American's indifference. First, our self-image called the "frontier myth" – in which righteous violence is used to subdue or annihilate savages. The second reason is racism which ties closely into the frontier myth. The third is what social scientists call "just world" theory, which posits that humans "naturally assume that the world should be orderly and rational. When the 'just world' is disrupted, we tend to explain away the event as an aberration." Therefore Americans tend to ignore or blame the victims of American wars (Tirman, 2011, 2012).
- One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. — Martin Luther King (1963)
If you were asked to be a member of the Underground Railroad for a slave would you participate? In Nazi Germany, if you had the chance to hide a Jew in your home, would you do it? Conservatively, the United States has killed as many people as Jews in the Holocaust, and they are continuing this death toll even today. While conservatives actively support the deaths of millions, liberals ignore the death tolls and instead focus on the deaths of mass shootings and deaths at the hands of the police, which is an infinitesimal fraction of the people that the United States government kills everyday. “All empires die of indigestion” Napoléon Bonaparte mused (The empire that is dead, 1996). The United States is on the precept of rapid decline and collapse. The last two empires, the Soviet Union in 1991, and the British Empire in 1956, both collapsed peacefully because of the invention of the nuclear bomb (Brown, 2001). Based on my social science research for the past two decades I am convinced that the United States and its people, inventor of the atomic bomb, is different, the United States will not go quietly into the night. Despite my virulent hatred of United States foreign policy and its arrogant and self-righteous people as a whole, I love the culture that I grew up in, I love a small handful of individual people in this county, and I love so much about this incredible capitalist empire. My deepest desire is for the United States to collapse and become a shadow of itself, but to implode peacefully and let China takes its rightful place as leader of the world, as it has done for the majority of the history of mankind.[3]
I have worked in the Peace Movement for two decades. The Peace Movement in the United States is a farce full of "useful idiots".[4] I have a viable plan to create a peace movement in the United States, but I do not have the resources or support of the American oligarchic government (Study: US is an oligarchy, 2014). Space prohibits me from explaining the history of the subversion of political movements by the United States and my personal experiences trying to launch a career in the Peace Movement in Washington DC in 2014 and 2015. As a result, in 2015, over a year before Trump was elected, I moved to Moscow, Russia to help subvert the United States and seek political asylum. I smuggled over a secret cyber security document to show the Russian government my sincerity. I had an incredibly troubling experience, while applying for political asylum the FSB (KGB) lawyer, across the street from the infamous Lubyanka headquarters, had me draw up a list of all of the websites I had created. I had the list on his desk and before I said anything, he pointed to my peace movement political action committee website and said this site is unacceptable. This told me three important factors:
- Unsurprisingly, like the United States, this proved the FSB was monitoring my internet activity and already knew about the website.
- At least at the time, the Russian government was not interested in me developing a peace movement against the United States.
- More importantly it showed that I would have to get the explicit permission of the Russian government to do anything in Russia. As a KGB spy in East Germany, Putin watched the collapse of the Soviet Union and is extremely anti-protest.
My Career Path
Education
I already have earned three degrees, I have a bachelors in marketing, I am a lawyer, and I have a Masters in International Relations. My law school thesis on American violence in Colombia was my second published book. Currently I am earning a master’s degree in Sociology from ASU while concurrently earning a Masters from a very prestigious university in Moscow, Russia. I am studying in Moscow as a career path for two reasons: 1) To understand and learn the way the Russian elite run the country 2) Make crucial contacts in the Russian government. This university’s alumni includes some of the top leaders and elite of the former Soviet Union. I will apply for an internship at a Russian think tank in the summer of 2019. After graduation my career goal is to work for a Russian think tank or for a member of the Duma, Russia’s congressional body, advising Russia on how to subvert the United States. The ultimate, long term career path is in one to two decades, is to be the first American to ever be elected to the Russian Duma.
Russian NGO
While in Moscow in 2015, “by chance” I met a former member of the номенклату́ра – Soviets ruling class while walking my dog in Бу́тово, a “bedroom community” in Moscow. “Ivan”[5] worked for decades around members of the KGB and has numerous KGB contacts. I am almost certain that he is former or current KGB/FSB himself. “Ivan” suggested that I start a NGO in Russia for as little as 5,000 rubles, which he was researching for me last week. Despite pushing the limits of the security services patience when I lived in Moscow before, “Ivan” gave me explicit permission to return to Russia when I met him in Moscow in May, as long as I did not pursue political asylum again.

Notes
- ↑ In contrast to the United States 800 bases, Russia, Britain and France have a combined total of 30 military bases abroad (Vine, 2015).
- ↑ Figures on how much the United States spends compared to other countries vary widely. From 7 to 26 of the next countries.
- ↑ I will non-violently do anything to subvert the United States, I will break any law and commit high treason against this country. Some may argue I already have. I smuggled in a secret document to Russia in 2015, and gave it to FSB (KGB) lawyers across the street from Lubyanka street (http://moscowamerican.com/index.php/Smuggling_classified_secret_cyber_documents_to_Russia). The United States government knows what I have done, indeed, I wrote a letter confessing as much in a FOIA request to the CIA and NSA in April. In addition, I sent a letter to the FBI about potential domestic crimes. I received back a form letter from all three federal organizations stating they could not give me any information. Although I have unsubstantiated theories, I am not sure why I have not prosecuted yet for my myriad of state and federal white collar crimes since I decided this path of action. I am not sure why I am free to leave the United States in September. Because of my activities in Moscow and DC, the United States has a file on me. Based on my study of the prosecution of political dissidents (Julian Assange immediately comes to mind) state and/or federal prosecutors could potentially compiling a case against me in which they can prosecute me for something which does not shine light on my larger crimes.

Application for Amnesty international
- the job was only open 10 days. Which means it was probably already filled before they posted it.😓
Cover letter
For nearly two decades I have wanted to work for Amnesty International, but I just didn’t know it. In 2000 I served in the United States Peace Corps Ukraine. It is there that I had a deep paradigm shift, realizing that the people of the Soviet Union were not as bad as I was lead to believe in the Cold War. I fell in love with the people and I started to study American foreign policy in Odessa. When I returned to America with my new wife and step son, I began to deeply research American foreign policy in my free time. In those thousands of hours of studies I found a gem by Amnesty International:
- "Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed or "disappeared", at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame." -- Amnesty International, 1996
In 2004 my new family moved to San Antonio Texas were I earned a Masters in International Relations concurrent with my Juris Doctorate. I loved my International Masters Degree program, I would debate passionately about the role America had in the world with current US military and NSA students. For my law school writing requirement I wrote my second published book, America’s Other War, Terrorizing Colombia (2017). The law professor I wrote it for felt the book should be more legally centered, but I felt that it was important to share the stories of the plight of the Colombian people. At the same time, I had two extenships in law school, including working 9 months at the Center for Legal and Social Justice defending immigrants in Federal District Court.
After graduating with honors from my International Relations master’s degree program, I took the Texas bar in 2007 and failed. My heart simply wasn’t into it – when I was supposed to study, I spent too much time writing articles on Wikipedia such as Union of Banana Exporting Countries instead of studying. My dream was to work internationally or domestically being a voice to those victims of the United States government. Graduated and jobless, I traveled to numerous large international relations job fairs in Washington DC and was deeply disappointed at how few organizations focused on violent American foreign policy. As was typical, at one job fair I met one very young girl at a shabby booth in an obscure corner of the job fair. Her booth was to volunteer for an organization against Israeli aggression which was supported by the United States. I asked her some specific questions and it was abundantly clear that the organization was poorly managed and had little influence on American foreign policy.
I took a job at the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in Washington DC. Overlooking Congress and the Mall our office was the very top legal firm of DHHS. DHHS is the umbrella organization for all federal programs involving health. One of the attorneys suggested I take the Washington DC bar exams, which I passed in 2009. When I passed my boss allowed me to shadow another attorney and help write legal briefs on procurement. Again, my heart was not into it and the attorney went on to write the briefs without me. I applied for numerous other jobs in DC over the next 5.5 years but none of them involved shedding a light on violent American foreign policy. The breaking point was in 2013 when I assisted another attorney to defend the government in the case: Manuel Gudiel Garcia, et al. v. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, et al., (2011). It was a horrific incident that I had read about years before, colloquially called the Guatemala syphilis experiment, in which United States government doctors intentionally secretly infected Guatemalans with syphilis. As I read these documents and helped file the briefs defending the United States government I was horrified that I had even a small part in defending these immoral murders. The plaintiffs lost and DHHS won. After nearly six years and without a backup job I quit DHHS in 2013. I had been divorced in 2012 so I was now free to pursue my true passion.
I started to network in Washington DC with the international community and the available jobs were the same, none of them focused on confronting the violence of the United States overseas. For example, the federal United States Institute of Peace indirectly supported violent US foreign policy. USAID helped clean up after US Wars but did nothing to challenge American violence. In the interim to make money immediately, I started a solo law practice focusing on bankruptcy and foreclosure, but again, it was not my true passion. Finding no real peace organizations in the United States Federal government, I began to study and network with the small peace movement in the United States. I was detained at the Pentagon and outside of the CIA. I went to seminars and networked with people in the peace movement. I wrote up detailed power point on how to create a national grassroots organization could push for peace. I quickly found that the contemporary peace movement is a disorganized joke and there are no jobs immediately available. I created a Political Action Committee (PAC) and website called May1787.com – named after the month in which the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade was formed. When these men met in 1787, three quarters of the world was in bondage. These twelve men did the impossible – they abolished slavery in the British Empire in their lifetime, which led to the end of slavery worldwide. I know that war can be abolished the same way that slavery was two hundred years ago.
In September 2015, two years after the divorce was finalized and I won the martial home, I quitclaimed the house to my ex-wife and moved to Moscow, Russia with $1,000 in my pocket. I had a job as an English Teacher but my ambitions were much greater. I quickly formed a partnership with a Moscow lawyer to do Employment Law cases in Moscow court. I was on Russian national television three times, once as a foreign policy expert on America. In April 2016 I walked into the main KGB (FSB) headquarters in downtown Moscow and ask for political asylum. I hired an attorney across the street on a 500,000 ruble installment plan to get me political asylum. I turned over a secret cyber-security document I had found in Washington DC, the original that I had hand delivered to the Washington Post but never heard back from. With my Moscow director friend from Ukraine the plan was for me to work the Russian television circuit exposing American violence.
Today I have returned to suburban Utah. I posted the above 1996 Amnesty International quote on Facebook last week, and it suddenly dawned on me: Amnesty International, an organization which I wrote letters for in my undergraduate university over two decades ago, has always been hidden in plain sight, you are the organization that I have wanted to work for almost my entire adult life.
- On any given day a person is displaced, tortured or killed, usually the United States shares the blame
- The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. I cannot be silent. — Martin Luther King (Cohen & Solomon, 1995; King, 1967).
What are you willing to do for your deepest held beliefs? In September 2015 I moved to Moscow Russia to seek political asylum, knowing that I may never return. I almost died there. In September 2018 I will return yet again to help Russia subvert the United States.
Internationally, the United States is the most violent country in the world. Conservative estimates are that the United States has killed 6 million civilians and soldiers since the end of World War 2 (Tirman, 2011). The London based non-governmental organization Amnesty International explained that, "Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed…at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame" (Human Rights & US Security Assistance, 1996).

The United States is the biggest arms seller in the world, selling half of all weapons on the global arms market, many of these arms are sold to friendly dictatorships which use the equipment to brutally suppress domestic and regional threats (Theohary, 2016; United States biggest arms seller, 2016). There are countless examples of American wars being waged today, such as the America's proxy War in Yemen. In the War in Yemen, the United States supplies the planes, arms, and logistical support to Saudi Arabia, it trained the pilots and it refuels the planes in the bombing runs against Yemen (Pawlyk, 2018; Turse, 2011; Wickenden, 2018). According to the United Nations, Yemen now has the "the worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time". Yemen faces the fastest growing cholera epidemic ever recorded (Nikbakht & McKenzie 2018; Carey & Algethami, 2018).

I am studying in Moscow as a career path for two reasons: 1) To understand and learn the way the Russian elite run the country 2) Make crucial contacts in the Russian government. This university’s alumni includes some of the top leaders and elite of the former Soviet Union. I will apply for an internship at a Russian think tank in the summer of 2019. After graduation my career goal is to work for a Russian think tank or for a member of the Duma, Russia’s congressional body, advising Russia on how to subvert the United States. The ultimate, long term career path is in one to two decades, is to be the first American to ever be elected to the Russian Duma.
Russian NGO
While in Moscow in 2015, “by chance” I met a former member of the номенклату́ра – Soviets ruling class while walking my dog in Бу́тово, a “bedroom community” in Moscow. “Ivan”[5] worked for decades around members of the KGB and has numerous KGB contacts. I am almost certain that he is former or current KGB/FSB himself. “Ivan” suggested that I start a NGO in Russia for as little as 5,000 rubles, which he was researching for me last week. Despite pushing the limits of the security services patience when I lived in Moscow before, “Ivan” gave me explicit permission to return to Russia when I met him in Moscow in May, as long as I did not pursue political asylum again.

Notes
- ↑ In contrast to the United States 800 bases, Russia, Britain and France have a combined total of 30 military bases abroad (Vine, 2015).
- ↑ Figures on how much the United States spends compared to other countries vary widely. From 7 to 26 of the next countries.
- ↑ I will non-violently do anything to subvert the United States, I will break any law and commit high treason against this country. Some may argue I already have. I smuggled in a secret document to Russia in 2015, and gave it to FSB (KGB) lawyers across the street from Lubyanka street (http://moscowamerican.com/index.php/Smuggling_classified_secret_cyber_documents_to_Russia). The United States government knows what I have done, indeed, I wrote a letter confessing as much in a FOIA request to the CIA and NSA in April. In addition, I sent a letter to the FBI about potential domestic crimes. I received back a form letter from all three federal organizations stating they could not give me any information. Although I have unsubstantiated theories, I am not sure why I have not prosecuted yet for my myriad of state and federal white collar crimes since I decided this path of action. I am not sure why I am free to leave the United States in September. Because of my activities in Moscow and DC, the United States has a file on me. Based on my study of the prosecution of political dissidents (Julian Assange immediately comes to mind) state and/or federal prosecutors could potentially compiling a case against me in which they can prosecute me for something which does not shine light on my larger crimes.

US Senate: No military support for Saudi war in Yemen. Pentagon: LOL
https://qz.com/1514582/us-supports-saudi-war-in-yemen-even-after-senate-votes-no/
Just 16 days after a bipartisan group of US senators approved a resolution to end military support for Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the civil war in Yemen, the Trump administration is doing what appears to be exactly the opposite.
The Dec. 19 measure passed 56-41, and was the first time the Senate has invoked the War Powers Act of 1973, which requires the president to consult with Congress “in every possible instance” before sending troops into conflict. The four-year-old conflict in Yemen broke out when the Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran, seized the capital city of Sana’a. A Saudi-led coalition intervened and an estimated 50,000 people have died since. Nearly 12 million are reported to be on the verge of starvation.
“Today we declare we will not long participate in the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen which has caused the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth, with 85,000 children starving to death,” Bernie Sanders of Vermont said on the Senate floor. “Today we tell the despotic regime in Saudi Arabia that we will no longer be part of their military adventurism.”
The resolution was largely symbolic (GOP leaders blocked the House from taking up any Yemen-related legislation for the rest of the year), and the US Air Force today (Jan. 3) issued a request seeking suppliers to provide airplane parts—horizontal stabilizers, fuel lines, circuit-card assemblies, air inlets—to keep Saudi F-15 jet fighters flying.
“This solicitation provides a direct counter to the claims the US makes at times, that if the US didn’t sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, Russia and China will,” Andrea Prasow, deputy Washington director at Human Rights Watch, told Quartz. “But these weapons systems are all from US manufacturers and they require US parts, and they can’t get those from Russia or China. It’s useful for people to understand that even if Congress were to ban sales [to Saudi] tomorrow, it wouldn’t significantly alter the defense industry’s relationship with Saudi Arabia.”
Saudi Arabia has the third-largest fleet of F-15s in the world, behind only the US and Israel. Since March 2015, Saudi and coalition aircraft have carried out over 16,000 air strikes according to human-rights groups, nearly one-third of which have hit civilian sites including hospitals, weddings, and water-desalination plants. In August, a Saudi-led coalition warplane bombed a school bus in northern Yemen, killing 51 people, 40 of them children. The coalition blamed “mistakes in compliance to the rules of engagement.”
“The Saudis have prosecuted the war in Yemen with little regard for the United States’ views while simultaneously demanding the Pentagon’s logistical support and the uninterrupted flow of munitions,” Steven Cook of the Council on Foreign Relations wrote recently. As of November, US tankers no longer refuel coalition aircraft over Yemen. Yet the US military continues to provide maintenance, tech support, and training to the Royal Saudi Air Force, as investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein has reported.
It would be difficult to impose restrictions on Saudi Arabia use of US-supplied materiel writ large, said Scott Paul, Oxfam America senior humanitarian policy advisor.
“If your existing contract is for horizontal stabilizers for F-15s, how do you legislate that? Yes, it’s OK to provide horizontal stabilizers for F-15s if they’re not fighting in Yemen?” he told Quartz. “Members [of Congress] have been uneasy writing off entire defense contracts with the Saudis. They would rather find a more precise way to extract the US from its role in the conflict in Yemen.”
The public conversation around the US-Saudi defense relationship has made it out to be an all-or-nothing proposition. The F-15 procurement notice shows a bit of the “humdrum, everyday foundational piece that isn’t really entering the conversation,” Paul said. Military cooperation with Saudi Arabia will certainly continue in a broad sense, especially as the US has five strategic bases in the kingdom. However, he continued, “there are a lot of people who take exception to the fact that this alliance is uncontroversial.”
In September, US secretary of state Mike Pompeo said the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen was “undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.” Pompeo’s statement drew an immediate rebuke from California Democratic congressman Ro Khanna, who called it “a farce.”

@RepRoKhanna
Pompeo’s ‘certification’ is a farce. The Saudis deliberately bombed a bus full of children. There is only one moral answer, and that is to end our support for their intervention in Yemen.
If this executive will not do it, then Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution.
John Hudson ✔ @John_Hudson A month after a Saudi-led airstrike bombed a bus with children in it, Secretary Pompeo certifies today that Riyadh and UAE are "undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians"
Some legislators are now “trying to reshape the defense relationship around shared interests as opposed to a blank check,” said Paul.
Nevertheless, said Andrea Prasow, “This administration doesn’t intend to change its relationship with Saudi Arabia.”
How Yemen Became a Humanitarian Nightmare: Untangling a Complex War
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/13/world/middleeast/yemen-war-explainer.html
- June 13, 2018
When a civil war in Yemen erupted more than three years ago, it fractured what was already the poorest Arab nation and eventually plunged it into the planet’s worst humanitarian disaster.
While the world has turned its gaze from the prolonged conflict, it has ground on without easing and grown increasingly complex.
An assault by the Saudi-led coalition that has been battling Iran-backed Yemeni rebels for more than three yearsbegan Wednesday on the city of Al Hudaydah, which has a port that serves as a vital route for humanitarian aid and other vital supplies to the bulk of Yemen’s population. It was the latest turn in a situation moving toward catastrophe for millions of civilians.
The war has already killed thousands of civilians and left three million people internally displaced.
Who are the main parties to the conflict?
The conflict began as a fight between armed Houthi rebels from the north of the country and the government, then led by President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The Houthis are part of the Shiite Muslim minority in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia and its neighbor and close ally, the United Arab Emirates, intervened in 2015 because of perceived Iranian support for the rebels. The Sunni Muslim monarchy of Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran are rivals for power and influence across the Middle East, and Yemen has become a battlefield for one of the proxy wars between them.
Iran has denied supporting the Houthis, but Iranian-made missiles have been used by the group during the fighting.
Still, Yemen’s war stems more from a dispute about national political influence than sectarian conflict, analysts say.
The conflict has carved the country up into Houthi-controlled zones in much of the northwest, including the capital, Sana, and large parts of the south and east controlled by pro-government Saudi-led coalition forces.
How did Yemen’s conflict reach this point?
The conflict has its roots in Yemen’s Arab Spring uprising, which began in 2011 and forced the longtime authoritarian president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, an ally of the United States, from power. Though Mr. Saleh had led a unified Yemen since the 1990s, competing interests loosened his grip on the nation. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), one of the most potent offshoots of the global terrorist network, thrived in large parts of the country, and Houthi rebels gained power in the north.

Then, months after the Arab Spring protests began, Mr. Saleh handed leadership of Yemen to his deputy, Mr. Hadi, and stepped down. But Mr. Hadi struggled to control a nation already deeply divided, and Mr. Saleh continued to wield power by aligning with the Houthis.
By 2014, the Houthis and their supporters — including sections of the Yemeni military loyal to Mr. Saleh — stormed the capital and forced Mr. Hadi and his internationally recognized government into exile in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia and several allied Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates, intervened in 2015. Backed by the United States and Western allies, they launched airstrikes on Houthi forces and drastically escalated the conflict. The Houthis responded by firing missiles into Saudi territory.
Civilians, mostly those in Houthi areas, were increasingly caught in the crossfire. Then Mr. Saleh, the former president, was killed by Houthis late last year after he abruptly abandoned the alliance with them.
For millions under Houthi control, the Red Sea port of Al Hudaydah is the only supply route for humanitarian aid — including food and medicine — and other vital materials. An estimated two-thirds of the population relies on it.

The city is home to about 400,000 people, and with just two main routes in and out, a prolonged siege could leave hundreds of thousands cut off, unable to flee. Many aid groups pulled staff members out of the city in anticipation of the battle.
Wednesday’s offensive was carried out by Yemeni troops, trained and funded by the United Arab Emirates. Both the Emiratis and the Saudis have accused the Houthis of using the city to smuggle Iranian weapons into Yemen. United Nations monitors say it’s unlikely that weapons are being smuggled through Red Sea ports, and are most probably coming across land borders.
A humanitarian crisis threatens to worsen.

The United Nations and aid agencies have warned that an attack on Al Hudaydah could exacerbate an already out-of-control humanitarian crisis and called for a cease-fire.
“They must act now to secure a cease-fire before the people in Hodeidah city suffer the same fate as those in Aleppo, Mosul or Raqqa,” David Miliband, the president and chief executive officer of the International Rescue Committee, said in an email statement, likening the potential outcome to long-term sieges in Syria and Iraq. ' Relentless airstrikes have already shattered the infrastructure in many Houthi-controlled areas, with bombings damaging hospitals and sewage facilities.
Preventable diseases have run rampant. A 2017 cholera epidemic in Yemen was the largest and fastest outbreak of the disease on record. The United Nations has said both the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis have carried out actions thatcould amount to war crimes, and both sides have been accused of intentionally targeting dozens of hospitals and health care facilities as well as civilian centers.
Even before the most recent offensive, millions of Yemenis were teetering on the brink of famine, with about 60 percent of the population of 29.3 million categorized as food insecure, according to the World Food Program.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said that it had stockpiled food, medicine and water purification systems in the area in anticipation of the battle, but that the aid could not be distributed while fighting is underway.
“Real people, real families, will suffer if no food is getting in, and we are concerned that ongoing military operations continue to hamper the arrival of essential goods,” said Robert Mardini, the regional director of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The new Gulf war
How Yemen became the most wretched place on earth
A report from a conflict zone the world ignores
Print edition | Briefing
Nov 30th 2017 | ADEN, HODEIDA AND SANA’A
ALONG the road from the port city of Hodeida to Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, rugged mountains rise sharply from a coastal plain, then level off, giving way to a raised plateau. Old stone farmhouses overlook terraced fields, fed by mountain rains. To the south are lush forests, where baboons and wildcats live. Yemen’s vast deserts spread to the east. The diversity of the landscape is breathtaking. But amid all this natural beauty, there is misery.
Yemen was the poorest country in the Middle East even before the outbreak of war in 2014 between Houthi rebels and government forces. The conflict has heaped devastation upon poverty. Since fighting began Yemen has suffered the biggest cholera outbreak in modern history and is on the brink of the harshest famine the world has seen for decades. The conflict has shattered the water, education and health systems. The UN says that it is the world’s worst current humanitarian crisis. Three-quarters of the population of 28m need help.
The war in Yemen, and looming humanitarian catastrophe, has gone largely unnoticed beyond its borders. The fighting is rooted in old conflicts and now involves many groups, sucking in Yemen’s neighbours. But no single force has emerged that is strong enough or competent enough to hold the entire country together, making the prospects for peace dim.
Yemen’s infrastructure has been crumbling for years, so it is difficult for a visitor to tell between buildings that are falling down through neglect and those half-levelled by explosions. But locals point out the damage wrought by a bombing campaign led by Saudi Arabia, part of an international coalition that supports the government. Although American and British military advisers have helped the Saudis to choose targets, and their governments have provided them with precision-guided munitions, or “smart bombs”, the air strikes often seem to miss their mark.
The Houthis, a group of Shia rebels, are the main target. Unhappy with reforms to the state and their share of power, they swept out of their northern stronghold in 2014 and overran Sana’a. With the support of Iran and the forces of a former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Houthis then moved south, taking control of most of the rest of Yemen. The president, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, fled—first to Aden, a southern port, then to Saudi Arabia, where he remains. At his request, the Saudis stepped in and, with local forces, pushed back the Houthis to the north of the country.
Coalition air strikes have targeted factories and food-storage warehouses, as well as the airport in Sana’a. The road from the capital to Hodeida is pockmarked with craters. At the port, the cranes used to unload ships have been put out of action. Once the lifeline of the north, it now operates at well under its former capacity. For months America tried to supply new cranes, but they were turned back by Gulf members of the coalition.
Ships and planes carrying food, fuel and medicine are monitored by the UN to ensure that arms are not entering the north. But the coalition still holds up shipments. In November it cut off northern ports completely for over two weeks. Even the more limited blockade has created a cycle of suffering. A lack of fuel has crippled water-pumping stations, so locals have resorted to drinking from dirty sources. Cholera is often the result. The medicine to treat it is also held up by the coalition.
Nowhere is safe
Nothing seems out of bounds for the bombers. About 40 health centres were struck by the coalition over the first six months of the war. Amnesty International, a pressure group, has accused it of deliberately targeting civilians, hospitals, schools, markets and mosques; and of using imprecise weapons, such as cluster bombs, which most countries have outlawed. A spokesman for the coalition once declared the entire city of Saada, home to about 50,000 people, a military target.
That is where Ali Marhad (see picture) lived before fighting about a decade ago forced him to flee. He moved into a camp for displaced people in Mazraq. But it was bombed in 2015 by the coalition, killing 40 people, including his two sons, he says. He then moved to a camp in Hajjah. Earlier this year another bomb fell near his home, a collection of sticks and tarpaulin. It is exceedingly difficult for ordinary Yemenis to escape the fighting.
This is home for Ali Marhad
At least 10,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed by bullets and bombs. Around 40 times more people have died in Syria’s war, which also sent a wave of refugees to Europe. Perhaps that is why it has gained international attention, while the conflict in Yemen is overlooked. Less than half of the British public is aware of it. The death toll is anyway misleading. Many more Yemenis have died from a lack of food and medicine than from the fighting, of which the shortages are a direct result. The war continues, though the front line has hardly budged in the past year.
Fighting is not unusual in Yemen. Sitting at the south-western tip of the Arabian peninsula, on important trade routes, the land has long been coveted by foreign powers. In the past century it has seen about a dozen conflicts, involving over half a dozen countries.
Some seeds of today’s fighting were sown in battles in the 1960s—a civil war in the north and an insurgency against British colonial forces in the south. Two distinct Yemeni states arose. Leaders in the north turned to religious authority for their legitimacy, enlisting the support of Islamic clerics. The more secular south adopted Marxism and aligned itself with the Soviet Union. Political feuding led to further wars in 1972 and 1979, but economic hardship and the end of the cold war brought the sides together. After a series of failed agreements in the 1970s and 1980s, north and south at last agreed on a new constitution in 1990, in the hope that a show of unity would attract foreign investment and increase the extraction of Yemen’s oil.
Money briefly flowed in and oil out. But simmering ill-feeling erupted into civil war in 1994 in which Mr Saleh’s northern forces were victorious. In the aftermath his General People’s Congress (GPC) dominated parliament, then set about consolidating power. Parliamentary elections in 2003 were postponed and critics detained. Mr Saleh and his henchmen are thought to have stolen billions of dollars of state funds, while most Yemenis got by on less than $3 a day. Resentment of his rule grew.
The Zaydis, a Shia sect, who make up perhaps 40% of the population, felt particularly marginalised by Mr Saleh (though he is one of them). The Houthis emerged from this group in the 1990s, bristling at the growth of the Saudis’ conservative religious influence and Yemen’s alliance with America in its war on terror. Mr Saleh, in turn, accused the group of wanting to overthrow his government. Hundreds of people died in fighting between the Houthis and pro-government forces between 2004 and 2010—including Hussein Badruddin al-Houthi, the group’s leader, from whom it takes its name.
Opposition to Mr Saleh’s rule came to a head during the Arab spring of 2011, when tens of thousands of Yemenis took to the streets. With a push from the Gulf states, he stepped down in 2012 and was succeeded by Mr Hadi, his vice-president. Thus began a short-lived period of hope. Talks overseen by the UN led to a plan in 2014 for a new constitution enshrining a federal system and a parliament split between northerners and southerners.
The Houthis, however, continued to distrust the government. They boycotted an election won by Mr Hadi in 2012 and opposed the agreement of 2014, on the grounds that it stuck most of them in a region with few resources and no access to the sea. Nor had they received positions in the government that they wanted. Their frustration was shared by Mr Saleh, who sought to undermine the transition in the hope of regaining the presidency or, at least, handing it to his son.
Resentment towards Mr Hadi and disquiet over the growing power of Islah, an Islamist party affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s main Islamist group, brought the Houthis and Mr Saleh into an unlikely alliance in 2014. In September of that year their forces entered Sana’a—and were welcomed by many Yemenis who had become disenchanted with Mr Hadi’s ineffective leadership. A power-sharing deal between the Houthis and the government was brokered by the UN—and then ignored. In early 2015 the rebels seized full control of the capital. By March they had made it to Aden.
Muhammad fears a Houthi
But it was also becoming clear that the Houthis, motivated by grievances, did not have a plan for ruling Yemen. In areas under their control, rubbish is piling up, cash is hard to get hold of and the lights have gone out. “My sense of it is that they never really had a clear political agenda, both during the wars with Saleh and after,” says April Longley Alley of the International Crisis Group, a think-tank.
The incompetence of the Houthis has been compounded by the involvement of Saudi Arabia. Saudi meddling in Yemen is nothing new. In 1934 Saudi soldiers retook towns seized by the Zaydis. Prince Saud, their leader, would later become king. Today Prince Muhammad bin Salman is first in line to the throne. But his adventure in Yemen, which seemed designed to build him a reputation as a strong leader, has led Saudi Arabia into a quagmire.
Responding to Mr Hadi’s call for help, Prince Muhammad organised a coalition that included Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain. They began striking Yemen from the air and the sea in March 2015. A month later the Saudis declared the air campaign over. It had “achieved its military goals”, officials said. A new operation would supposedly focus on finding a political solution in Yemen.
In reality, the war was just beginning. Over the next months, local forces backed by coalition air strikes (and later soldiers) pushed the Houthis back. However, they have not been able to drive them out of territory seized in the north, including Sana’a. So instead the coalition seems intent on starving the north.
The Saudis have created much of the misery that blights Yemen, but blame falls on others, too. The Houthis and Mr Saleh’s forces have also carried out indiscriminate attacks in cities such as Taiz and Aden. They have held up aid and are accused of war profiteering. Mr Hadi says the Houthis looted around $4bn from the central bank to pay for the war (the Houthis say the money was used for food and medicine). So he moved the bank from Sana’a to Aden in 2016 and stopped paying the salaries of public servants in the north. Schools and hospitals have closed and many northerners face destitution.
For Saudi Arabia, the region’s Sunni champion, the failure of its campaign in Yemen is twofold. Not only was it designed to reinstate Mr Hadi’s government—it was also supposed to send a signal to Iran’s Shia regime. The two powers are locked in a struggle for regional dominance that has spilled over into Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. The Saudis fear that, in the Houthis, Iran is nurturing a Shia proxy, akin to Hizbullah, the Lebanese militia that it backs. Yet again Yemen is the playground of bigger powers.
America has concluded that Iran does not exert “command and control” over the Houthis. But there is little doubt that it is arming the group. It appears to have supplied missiles the Houthis have fired. America’s most senior admiral in the region told the New York Times in September that Iran is providing anti-ship and ballistic missiles, mines and exploding boats that the rebels have used to attack coalition ships in the Red Sea. When the Saudis shot down a missile fired from Yemen on its way to Riyadh on November 4th, they called it an “act of war” by Iran.
The possibility that the war might end soon is slender. The Saudis have powerful backing to continue their fight. President Donald Trump has nothing but praise for them. When he visited Riyadh in May he applauded their “strong action” against the Houthis and agreed to sell them $110bn worth of “beautiful” arms. The war has also been a blessing for Britain’s defence industry, which has hugely increased sales of missiles and bombs to Saudi Arabia since the start of the war. As the European Parliament approved a non-binding arms embargo against the Saudis in 2016, David Cameron, then the prime minister, sounded almost Trumpian, praising the “brilliant” weapons that Britain was selling to the kingdom. His successor, Theresa May, at least expressed her concerns over the war.
America and Britain not only support Saudi Arabia but have blocked other countries from putting pressure on it. Along with France, which also sells weapons to the Saudis, they undercut a UN resolution in 2015 that would have set up a panel to examine abuses in the war. When urging the creation of a new panel earlier this year, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the UN high commissioner for human rights, condemned “the reticence of the international community in demanding justice for the victims of the conflict”. The panel was approved—but only after America, Britain and France had watered it down.
The UN has organised three rounds of peace talks. But Mr Hadi’s government insists that the Houthis lay down their arms and withdraw from the areas they have seized. The Houthis complain that they are the only group that UN resolutions ask to give ground. In May a convoy led by Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the UN envoy to Yemen, was attacked by demonstrators in Sana’a. “There will be no more contact with [him] and he is not welcome here,” said Saleh al-Samad, a Houthi leader, a month later.
As the war drags on, both sides appear unsteady. In the south the Saudis along with the Emiratis, who are the largest foreign force on the ground, have built an unwieldy alliance of Salafists, southern secessionists and other militias. “Whatever Gulf money can buy,” says an observer. Some of these groups are accused of working with jihadists, such as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, though the Emiratis have pushed back al-Qaeda. No one thinks Mr Hadi has a long-term future.
North-south divides
In the north the Houthis accuse Mr Saleh of negotiating secretly with the coalition (though they have done the same). Mr Saleh, who is the weaker partner, fears being left out of any settlement. Things came to a head in August, when clashes between Houthis and supporters of Mr Saleh led to deaths on both sides. They have since made up but tension remains high. And there is a split within the Houthis, between hardliners and moderates. The group’s leader, Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, is seen as willing to negotiate. However, analysts say that, the longer the war goes on, the stronger the hardliners become.
Some spy an opening. Ms Alley reckons that the divisions, as long as they do not develop into open conflict, are an opportunity for some kind of deal. “Carrots have to be offered to those willing to compromise—right now it is all sticks,” she says. Yet the Saudis, under little pressure from abroad, do not look like backing down and seem to hope that the population in the north will rise up against the Houthis. Frustration with Houthi rule is growing, something Mr Saleh seems keen to exploit, but so far the streets are mostly quiet.
Others may not want peace. Warlords profit from extortion or by selling looted aid on the black market. Mr Hadi’s government and other combatants are accused of creating shortages so that they can sell items, such as fuel, at a big mark-up. Even if the Saudis were to withdraw, many analysts think that the fighting within Yemen would continue—between northerners and southerners, the Houthis and Mr Saleh or Islah and any number of parties.
Ordinary Yemenis are less interested in such divisions. A crowd gathers around Ali Marhad’s tent as he dispassionately recounts his hardship. They come from Houthi territory, but they say they have no tribe, no money, no home, “just Allah”. Do they care who wins the war? “No!” they cry. They just want it to end.

The Economist: The war the world ignores How—and why—to end the war in Yemen
A pointless conflict has caused the worst humanitarian crisis in the world
Print edition | Leaders
Nov 30th 2017
YEMEN lost the title of Arabia Felix, or “Fortunate Arabia”, long ago. It has suffered civil wars, tribalism, jihadist violence and appalling poverty. But none of this compares with the misery being inflicted on the country today by the war between a Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis, a Shia militia backed by Iran.
The UN reckons three-quarters of Yemen’s 28m people need some kind of humanitarian aid. Mounting rubbish, failing sewerage and wrecked water supplies have led to the worst cholera outbreak in recent history. The country is on the brink of famine. The economy has crumbled, leaving people with impossible choices. Each day the al-Thawra hospital in Hodeida must decide which of the life-saving equipment to run with what little fuel it has.
Perhaps the worst of it is that much of the world seems unperturbed (see Briefing), calloused by the years of bloodshed in Syria and other parts of the Middle East, and despairing of its ability to effect change. To be cynical, Yemen is farther away from Europe than Syria is; its wretched people do not, on the whole, wash up in the West seeking asylum.
Yet the world ignores Yemen at its peril. Set aside for a moment the obligation to relieve suffering and protect civilians. Hard security interests are also at stake. The world can ill afford another failed state—a new Afghanistan or Somalia—that becomes a breeding-ground for global terrorism. Yemen, moreover, dominates the Bab al-Mandab strait, a choke-point for ships using the Suez canal. Like it or not, the West is involved. The Saudi-led coalition is fighting with Western warplanes and munitions. Western satellites guide its bombs.
Slippery Saleh
Like so much else in the Arab world, Yemen’s agony can be traced to the Arab-spring uprisings of 2011. Mass protests, a near-assassination of the then president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, and a shove from neighbouring petro-states forced him to step down in 2012 in favour of his vice-president, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi. A draft constitution in 2015 proposed a federal system and a parliament split between northerners and southerners. But the Houthi rebels, who had fought Mr Saleh, rejected it. The Houthis, who follow the Zaydi branch of Shiism (as do perhaps 40% of Yemenis), complained that, among other things, the constitution stuck them in a region with few resources and without access to the sea.
Now allied with Mr Saleh, who spotted an opportunity for a comeback, the Houthis ousted Mr Hadi from Sana’a, the capital, and chased him all the way to Aden. Saudi Arabia gathered a coalition of Arab states and local militias—among them Islamists, Salafists and southern separatists—and forced the Houthis to retreat partway. For the past year, the battle-lines have barely moved. The Houthis are too weak to rule over Yemen but too powerful for Saudi Arabia to defeat.
As a result, Yemenis have become the pawns in the regional power-struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Alarmed by Iran’s spreading influence, the Saudis have begun to speak of the Houthis rather as Israelis refer to the Lebanese militia, Hizbullah: a dangerous Iranian proxy army on their border. Indeed, the Saudis have much to learn from Israel’s experience. Even with the most sophisticated weapons, it is all but impossible to defeat a militia that is well entrenched in a civilian population. The stronger side is blamed for the pain of those civilians. For the weaker lot, survival is victory.
So, even though the Houthis are primarily responsible for starting the war and capable of great cruelty, it is the Saudis who are accused of war crimes. Often the accusation is justified. In their air campaign, they have been careless and incompetent at best, and probably cynical. Human-rights groups say bombs have been aimed at schools, markets, mosques and hospitals. And the blockade raises suspicion that the Saudis are using food as a tool of war.
The longer the war goes on, the more Saudi Arabia’s Western allies are complicit in its actions. President Donald Trump has given Saudi Arabia carte blanche to act recklessly (see article). He may think it is all part of confronting Iran; or he may want to support the liberalising reforms of the Saudi crown prince, Muhammad bin Salman; or he may hope to profit by selling the Saudis “lots of beautiful military equipment”. Whatever the case, he is damaging America’s interests. Precisely because of the importance of Saudi Arabia—the world’s biggest oil exporter and home to Islam’s two holiest places—the West should urge restraint on the impetuous prince and help disentangle him from an unwinnable war.
How? Peace talks led by the UN have begun with the demand that the Houthis surrender. That is unrealistic. Better to freeze the conflict and find another mediator, such as Oman or Kuwait. A deal should involve a phased withdrawal of Houthi fighters from Sana’a and the Saudi border, and the end of the Saudi blockade. Yemen needs an inclusive government, elections and a new structure for the state. Saudi Arabia will need guarantees that Iranian arms are not flowing into Yemen. Then it will have to cough up the cash to rebuild the country.
None of this will be easy. But a reasonable peace offer is more likely to crack the Houthis than more bombing. Without the cover of fighting Saudi aggression, the Houthis will have to answer for their failures. The public is increasingly turning against them, the alliance with Mr Saleh is fraying and the Houthis themselves are divided.
Stop the war
Right now, far from halting the spread of Iran’s influence, the war has deepened the Houthis’ reliance on Iran, which has an easy and cheap means of tormenting the Saudis. And because Saudi Arabia is bogged down in Yemen, Iran has a freer hand to set the terms of a settlement in Syria. The war is a drain on the Saudis at a time of austerity and wrenching economic reforms at home. They should therefore learn another lesson from Israel’s experience of fighting Hizbullah. If wars are to be fought at all, they should be short, and have limited aims. Deterrence is better than debilitating entanglement.

The Economist: Donald Trump’s Muddled East
America’s neglect and confusion aggravate problems in the Arab world
Giving free rein to Saudi Arabia is destabilising the region
Print edition | Middle East and Africa
Dec 2nd 2017| CAIRO
WHEN it is finished, America’s imposing new embassy in Lebanon will be its second-biggest in the world. Yet it was France, not America, that stepped in to resolve Lebanon’s latest political crisis. Speaking from the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on November 4th, Saad Hariri, the Lebanese prime minister, abruptly announced his resignation. What followed was a bizarre two-week saga in which he seemed to be under house arrest in the kingdom. Though America’s State Department criticised the move, it fell to France to negotiate Mr Hariri’s return to Beirut. He has since suspended his resignation.
Nearly a year into his presidency, Donald Trump’s Middle East policy could best be characterised as one of neglect and confusion. His term coincides with a period of radical change in Saudi Arabia. King Salman and his son, Muhammad, the all-powerful crown prince, have abandoned the Al Sauds’ plodding caution in favour of a more aggressive foreign policy. Their actions have unsettled friends and neighbours. Even Israeli diplomats, no fans of Mr Hariri, use words like “reckless” to describe the Saudis’ pressure tactics in Lebanon, which risked upsetting its delicate sectarian balance.
Yet the Saudis have found a receptive audience in the White House, particularly in Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law. Team Trump thinks that it has helped to kindle the liberalising economic, social and religious reforms of Prince Muhammad. Mr Trump has not evinced any concern about the Saudi-led war in Yemen that has, with American support, laid waste to the region’s poorest country (see Briefing). He has enthusiastically praised a Saudi-led blockade of Qatar, and a recent wave of anti-corruption arrests in the kingdom, even though American diplomats have deep doubts about both policies.
Many Syrians cheered in April when America bombed a Syrian air base in response to a chemical attack in Idlib province. Since then Mr Trump seems to have lost interest. Russia and Iran have filled the vacuum, helping Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, to reconquer lost territories. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, gave Mr Assad a warm welcome in Sochi last month, and then hosted the presidents of Iran and Turkey, both of whom support Mr Assad’s continued rule.
As The Economist went to press, Syrians were gathered in Geneva for another round of UN-backed peace talks. The opposition delegation is now stacked with figures willing to leave Mr Assad in power, a shift engineered by the Saudis. Under Saudi pressure Riyad Hijab, a former Syrian prime minister and a resolute critic of the regime, has resigned as head of an opposition umbrella group. The Saudis may be hoping, implausibly, to split Russia from Iran. America, which has long demanded Mr Assad’s departure, said nothing.
Other allies feel similarly confused. Mr Trump is cutting military aid to the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-led militia that paid a heavy price fighting the jihadists of Islamic State. Asked whether America would name a special envoy to mediate a dispute between Iraq’s Kurds and the central government in Baghdad, the State Department demurred. “They can probably work it out on their own,” a spokeswoman said. Even Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has been disappointed. He is unhappy with the latest “de-escalation” agreement in southern Syria, negotiated by America and Russia, which allows Iranian-backed militias within 5km of his northern border. Despite warm contacts with the Trump administration, Jordan, too, feels left in the lurch by American plans to halt financial aid to Arab rebels in southern Syria next month.
Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, the Egyptian president, met Mr Trump during the campaign, and was the first foreign leader to congratulate him on his victory. But he was stunned in August when America slashed $100m in aid to Egypt, and withheld another $195m until it saw “progress on democracy”. The move also astonished American diplomats in Cairo. “I had to explain this to my Egyptian counterparts the next morning, and I had no guidance from Washington on why we did it,” says one.
Spread the blame around
Mr Trump does not deserve all the blame for meek and muddled American policy. Barack Obama, though he called for Mr Assad’s removal, did little to support the Syrian opposition. The war in Yemen started on his watch, too. And, to be fair, Mr Trump is engaged in one area: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After much shuttle diplomacy by Jason Greenblatt, his special envoy, the president is preparing to unveil a peace plan in early 2018.
This is a rite of passage for American presidents. The last three tried, and failed. There is no reason to think Mr Trump will succeed, either. Israel is still led by a far-right coalition loth to make concessions, and the divided Palestinians by a government that lost its legitimacy years ago. But the Saudis have egged him on, knowing that the president is eager to strike what he calls “the ultimate deal”. By supporting Mr Trump’s efforts in Jerusalem, they hope to win a free hand in Yemen and elsewhere.
Mr Trump never misses a chance to criticise his predecessor. Yet he is repeating some of his mistakes. Mr Obama was accused of pursuing a nuclear agreement with Iran at all costs, and ignoring Iran’s meddling in Syria and Iraq. Now Mr Trump seems obsessed with reneging on the deal, which would weaken the curbs on Iran’s ability to make a nuclear bomb, and is doing little (apart from a few more sanctions) to contain Iranian influence.
He is enabling autocrats in Egypt, and losing the confidence of close allies, such as Israel and Jordan. Meanwhile the Saudis are free to pursue destabilising policies, and the future of Syria is largely in Russian and Iranian hands. “This is not a time for the US to be absent,” says another Western diplomat. “We need some supervision.”

Conflict in Yemen: From Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots
Gros A., Gard-Murray A.S., Bar-Yam Y. (2015) Conflict in Yemen: From Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots. In: Fellman P., Bar-Yam Y., Minai A. (eds) Conflict and Complexity. Understanding Complex Systems. Springer, New York, NY, pp 269-280. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-1705-1_15
Yemen is considered a global terrorist base for Al-Qaeda and in recent years rampant violence is threatening social order. Here we show that the socio-economic origins of violence recently changed. Prior to 2008, violence can be attributed to inter-group conflict between ethnically and religiously distinct groups. Starting in 2008, increasing global food prices triggered a new wave of violence that spread to the endemically poor southern region with demands for government change and economic concessions. This violence shares its origins with many other food riots and the more recent Arab Spring. The loss of social order and the opportunities for terror organizations can be best addressed by directly eliminating the causes of violence. Inter-group violence can be addressed by delineating within-country provinces for local autonomy of ethnic and religious groups. The impact of food prices can be alleviated by direct food price interventions, or by addressing the root causes of global food price increases in US policies that have promoted conversion of corn to ethanol and commodity speculation. Addressing the food prices is the most urgent concern as a new bubble in food prices has been projected to begin before the end of 2012. |

Violence has been common in Yemen since the founding of a modern state in the southern Arabian peninsula nearly 100 years ago [1, 2], but recent attacks and social disruption are particularly severe [3–5]. Yemen is one of the global bases of Al-Qaeda [6–10], with the attacks on the USS Cole in 2000 and American Embassy in 2008 as the most well known local incidents. Yemeni Al-Qaeda has also been involved in global terror activities including an alleged attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas Day of 2009. At the beginning of that year, Yemeni Al-Queda joined with the smaller Saudi Al-Queda to form Al Queda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The current social disruption increases concerns that Yemen may become an even stronger terrorist base, threatening security worldwide.
Here we show that the nature of violence in Yemen has changed between 2005 and 2011 from being ethnically and religiously based to being dominated by the effects of increases in food prices on an impoverished population. During the period of ethnic and religious inter-group violence, geographical locations of incidents are consistent with a theory that predicts areas of violence based upon the geographical composition of the population [11, 12], building on a tradition of geographic analysis in social science [13–15]. In contrast, the later period of violence begins at the time of globally increasing food prices in 2007, and spread from areas of ethnic conflict in the north to the endemically poor southern part of Yemen.
Our results have immediate implications for strategies to reduce violence and limit the growth of terrorist influence. Rather than direct military and security operations, effective interventions may require eliminating the primary economic and social drivers of violence. First, the immediate economic drivers can be relieved by addressing the problems of the global food market, which has been implicated more broadly in the revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East [16–18]. Second, by providing partial internal autonomy to ethnic and religious groups, the origins of the longer term inter-group violence can also be alleviated [12].
The interventions we identify would not only address the growing security risks, but also improve the living conditions of millions of people, reducing severe poverty, social disruption and endemic violence. Indeed, these two goals are directly linked as the social and economic conditions are the origins of social disorder, in whose shadow terrorist activities can grow.
Our analysis of violence in Yemen begins from an understanding of the role of geography in conflict between distinct self-identifying groups defined by properties like ancestry, culture, language, and religion [11, 12]. In this paper we use the term ethnic violence to describe this
kind of inter-group conflict. Such violence is typically though not exclusively directed against or by civilians. When self-identifying groups are either sufficiently separated or sufficiently well-mixed, violence is unlikely. Separation limits inter-group friction, while integration inhibits inter-group alienation. Ethnic violence occurs most frequently in areas that have a certain intermediate degree of population separation, but in which control of the area is not separated accordingly, i.e. neither political nor physical boundaries exist to allow for local autonomy. In places where self-identifying groups separate into geographical patches of a critical size, in the range of 20-60 km, a group is able to impose its cultural norms, religious values, language differences and in-group social signaling within public spaces. These spaces may include public squares, markets, restaurants, places of worship and schools. However, when social expectations are violated because of the proximity of other ethnic domains, the resulting friction is likely to cause radicalization of some members of the population. Even a small radicalized minority is enough to lead to endemic conflict, and the propensity for violence becomes high. The violence may engage political and military components. Still, the origin of the conflict in the self-identity of the groups is likely to be manifest in violence directed against those who are not politically or militarily powerful. For patches larger than the critical geographical size individuals remain largely within their own domains and de facto local sovereignty exists. If patches are smaller than the critical size, ethnic groups cannot impose their own norms and expectations about behavior in public spaces, allowing for the peaceful coexistence of the multiple ethnic groups that are present. Natural and political boundaries can increase autonomy to allow for separation that can prevent violence in areas where it would otherwise occur. Tests of ethnic violence in various parts of the world have indeed shown that ethnic violence occurs in the vicinity of patches of a critical size without well-defined boundaries [11, 12].
In contrast to ethnic violence, social unrest reflecting socio-economic despair is often directed against authorities that fail to satisfy the most basic needs of the population, especially available or affordable food. Indeed, the relationship between food prices and social unrest has been demonstrated [16, 19–22]. Food riots around the world in 2007-8 and 2010-11 were triggered by steep increases in food prices. Since Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Arab World [23], increases in food prices severely impact a large portion of the population [24]. According to the World Bank’s 2007 Poverty Assessment Report, 35% of the country’s population is classified as poor [25].

In order to perform a more detailed and quantitative analysis we start by considering the ethnic geography of Yemen. There are four commonly described self-identifying ethnic and religious groups in Yemen: Zaydi Shiites, Ismaili Shiites, mainstream (Shafi’i) Sunnis and Salafi (Wahhabi) Sunnis. Together these groups are estimated to represent 99% of the population (55% Sunni and about 44% Shiite) [26]. Yemen’s societal structure has a strong tribal aspect, especially in rural areas [1, 27]. While neither tribal allegiances nor political attitudes necessarily align with their members’ religious denomination [6], it is nevertheless reasonable to assume as a first approximation that conflict arises between self-identified ethnic and religious groups. Obtaining data about the geographical distribution of these groups is difficult as there is no direct census and the distribution has changed in recent times, especially due to the spread of Salafism [28]. Moreover, since political and religious affiliations may be linked, various movements including the Moslem Brotherhood may have both political and religious connotations. For our analysis of ethnicity and violence we use spatial demographic data from 2004 [29] to identify the populated areas and an approximate map of the spatial distribution of the four major groups in 2000 obtained from a compilation of sources [30] to identify ethnic compositions, as shown in Figure 1. The approximate nature of the available data limits the precision of the calculations we perform. Demographic dynamics, specifically the spread of Salafism in recent years changed the sectarian associations across Yemen. Our conclusions only depend on very general features of spatial geography, specifically the presence of groups of a given geographic size in a region of the country. The conclusions are therefore robust to all but very specific localized changes relative to surrounding areas. This is a strength of our method, especially in application to areas where data is poor and changes are ongoing. Data on violent incidents was obtained from the Worldwide Incident Tracking System (WITS) [31] from which we selected the incidents that involved civilian casualties.
We calculated the propensity for violence in any given populated area by identifying patches of ethnic groups of a critical size of 56 km. This size is consistent with the value that provides predictive success in other countries [11, 12]. Mathematically we use a wavelet filter [11] that weighs the presence of ethnic types in a circular area around a focal point against the presence of ethnic types in the surrounding area. If ethnic types are well mixed or the whole area is populated uniformly by only one type, the output of the filter is small. However, if the inner area is populated by a different type than the surrounding area, forming

We quantify the level of agreement between our prediction and the data on violent inci-dents by correlating maps of shortest distances to locations of violent incidents and locations of predicted violence. We calculate the distance to the closest violent incident and the clos-est location of predicted violence at every point on the spatial mesh for a given year. We consider a location of predicted violence to be any point where the violence potential is above a threshold of 0.48 (the average propensity to violence plus two standard deviations).
We performed the analysis for the western part of Yemen, in which most of Yemen’s population resides (see vertical dashed line in Figure 2). Figure 3 shows the correlations between shortest distances to actual and predicted locations of ethnic violence in the west

over time. The correlation values are approximately 0.70 for 2005, 2006, and 2007, and drop to between -0.2 and 0.20 for 2008 through 2011, showing a distinct shift away from ethnically-motivated conflict. The confidence values for the correlations in years 2005, 2006, and 2007 are 98%, 97%, and 99%, respectively. We calculate confidence intervals using 100,000 trials with random placement of the same number of predicted locations of violence within the western part of Yemen and compare the correlations between the corresponding maps of shortest distances. The correlation values for the years 2005, 2006, and 2007 are lower than reported in previous studies [11, 12], perhaps due to the limitations of the geographic ethnic data and reporting of incidents in the Worldwide Incident Tracking System for these years. However, the confidence values for 2005, 2006, and 2007 are still well above 95%. Our results are consistent with reports that ethnic violence plays a significant role in Yemen resulting in the deaths of more than 2,000 people annually [32]. Some violence is politicized in the form of the Houthi rebellion, but it also has sectarian roots and manifests in violence against civilians in a manner characteristic of ethnic conflict [33–35].
The marked drop in correlations after 2007 indicates that the nature of the conflict changed and was no longer solely ethnically motivated. In order to identify the origins of violence after 2007 we turn to an understanding of social unrest in which food prices are a key component [16]. Figure 4 shows the global Food Price Index over time and the occurrence of food riots and revolutions associated with the Arab Spring [16]. The dates of the food riots in Yemen in early 2008 and 2011 are marked in red and coincide with similar events in many other countries. The co-occurrence of global food riots with large spikes in food prices is consistent with a causal role of food prices in social unrest. (An alternative hypothesis positing that the spread of Salafism caused the violence in the south is not supported by direct analysis, indicating they were not particularly involved [28].) Figure 4 shows that food riots in 2007-08 and 2010-11 were not a local phenomenon, but affected a broad spectrum of regions in Africa and the Middle East as well as Haiti and India. We can therefore understand the appearance of social unrest at these times based upon a hypothesis that widespread unrest is not necessarily related to governmental activities, or, in the case of Yemen, to terrorist actions. Instead, social unrest is induced by the government’s perceived failure to provide food security to the population [16]. The poverty prevalent in Yemen [3], and southern Yemen’s dependency on imported wheat [6, 24, 36], similar to Egypt and Tunisia [37], in combination with rising food prices, are very likely to have been

Figure 4: Global food price index and the occurrence of food riots (number of casualties in brackets); food riots in Yemen are marked red; reproduced with permission from [16] the underlying trigger for violent incidents in 2008 and later.
Geographically, the violence in 2008 expanded from the north to the south. The southern violence can be understood from the recent political and economic history of Yemen. From 1967 through 1990 South Yemen existed as an independent state. The separation between North and South Yemen is partially, but not completely, according to ethnic regions. After unification in 1990, the north dominated and the south was economically marginalized. Ownership of resources was transferred to northern individuals and organizations [38–40]. The corresponding political disaffection manifested in a brief civil war in 1994. In 2007, during the first food price peak, political discontent coalesced into the Southern Movement, which was reenergized by food riots in 2010 to demand a wide range of economic and social concessions [41, 42]. While the expansion of violence to the south is a key change, poverty
- End of page 9
is also widespread in the north. An increase in violent activity in 2008 and 2010 in the north can be attributed to food based riots overlaid upon the preexisting ethnic conflict. Similar to other countries associated with recent revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East, the unrest based on food riots developed into a broader revolutionary process based upon persistent economic and social conditions, with implications for both local political instability and global terror.
Our work has identified two major sources of violence in Yemen: partial ethnic separation with poorly defined boundaries and unreliable food security for a vulnerable population. These conclusions have direct implications for policy.
The most urgent socioeconomic problem driving violence is high food prices. Recent work has shown that there is likely to be another food price bubble by the end of 2012 [43]. Based on this prediction conditions in Yemen will deteriorate if no mediating policy changes take effect to lower food prices. Current political efforts to broaden the governmental basis through assembling a National Dialogue Conference aim to tackle political grievances but do not address the problems of food prices. The most direct method to achieve food price stability is to provide subsidies as have been implemented in many countries in the face of the inability of the population to afford available food. Such subsidies are, however, difficult to afford for impoverished countries and would require external financing. More fundamentally, while many different factors have been considered for causing the rise of global food prices, a quantitative analysis has shown that the drivers of food price increases originate in US agricultural policies that are affecting food prices globally. These include two distinct domains of domestic policy. The first is subsidies for corn-to-ethanol conversion, which resulted in growth over less than a decade from negligible rates to 40% of the US corn crop being converted to ethanol [44]. More recently, concerns about their impact has led to the elimination of these subsidies as of December, 2011 [45]. However, regulations that specify the amount of ethanol to be produced continue [46] The second is the elimination of constraints on commodity speculation in 2000 [47], which led to rapid growth of speculative activity through commodity index funds that do not follow supply and demand, and result in speculative bubbles [48, 49]. The Commodity Future Trading Commission is in the process of reimposing constraints on commodity trading to avoid speculative bubbles [50, 51]. However, the market participants are seeking to dilute the impact of these new regulations [52–56] These examples show that increased attention to the impact of food prices and their role
- End of page 10
in global social unrest necessarily links global security planning and domestic agricultural policy.
The violence that is ethnic in nature could be dramatically reduced by increasing political independence by establishing internal country boundaries between ethnic groups [12]. The paradigmatic example of the use of internal political boundaries to successfully promote peace is that of the Cantons in Switzerland which were established to separate Catholic and Protestant populations at a time when conflict was prevalent. The success of this approach of internal autonomous regions can be considered a model for other areas of the world. The value of a federal system of governance to reduce the propensity for violence in Yemen has been recently suggested [57]. More political self-determination has been demanded by the Southern Movement [42] and would most likely be easier to implement than separate nations. One form of potential boundary is the implementation of road blocks, which are currently used by the government as well as by tribes [58], Al-Qaeda, and Ansar al-Sharia [59]. However, access control is met with hostility where the authority over group territories is not legitimized or established historically. Legitimizing partial autonomy in a context of central government power, in regions determined by the geographical distribution of the main ethnic groups, would be effective according to our analysis.
We have shown that science can directly analyze social disruption and violence and iden-tify their causes, as well as provide recommendations about policy changes to mitigate them. Our framework enables us to consider violence within its socioeconomic context. Terrorist organizations proliferate in the power vacuum in countries in which the government is in-herently unable to provide order. For the specific case of Yemen, insurgents benefit from and amplify existing social disruption as the government and military are caught up in con-flicts stemming from food insecurity and ethnic differences. Food prices and ethnic conflict can be seen to play a direct role [60]. We recommend the implementation of jointly de-fined internal political boundaries, within which the different groups can enjoy a degree of self-determination, in addition to lowering food prices through within-country subsidies and global food policy actions, as these measures have the greatest chance of stabilizing Yemen.

Quotes | ||
"The loud little handful will shout for war. The pulpit will warily and cautiously protest at first…The great mass of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes, and will try to make out why there should be a war, and they will say earnestly and indignantly: ‘It is unjust and dishonorable and there is no need for war.' Then the few will shout even louder…Before long you will see a curious thing: anti-war speakers will be stoned from the platform, and free speech will be strangled by hordes of furious men who still agree with the speakers but dare not admit it...Next, statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." --Mark Twain |

Peace Corps purpose
I agree that the Peace Corps is not taken seriously in most elite circles (especially I can imagine in Moscow where outsiders are often disdained and seen as a threat). But one of Peace Corps central purposes is a way to get Americans acquainted with the world for US government jobs and intelligence services.
Personally, It was the best 2 years of my life. _(As a farm boy from rural Idaho, it was the first time I had ever met and associated with East and West coast wealthy liberals and I was so surprised at how rude they were)_ After the Peace Corps there is a literal fast track way to get federal jobs after you return to America. Many people settle or get jobs in DC.
I applied for the Foreign service twice and was rejected because I failed the writing portion.
I was actually accepted a second time in 2014 after my divorce but I didn't want to go to some Podunk 3rd world country. So I was going to teach English in China, then move to Siberia, but I got a job in Moscow. I am so thankful that the Peace Corps allowed a "country bumpkin" like me to associate and rub elbows with the elite like you. I am not surprised you have disdain for Peace Corps volunteers.
I found it fascinating that intelligence is malleable (changes).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malleability_of_intelligence
Also that poor people tend to be less intelligent than rich people on standardized IQ tests, but in broader tests, like general problem solving they tend to be just as smart. http://moscowamerican.com/wiki/Sociology:_Class

Have a great night sir.
The only viable way that US peace organizations can effect change in the United States is through elections. Every other organization in the United States is controlled by the military. A peace NGO can form a PAC similar to the National Rifle Association. This PAC/NGO will support either candidate, on the left or on the right. For example, the NGO would publicly support antiwar Tea Party candidates and Rand Paul.
In the first election cycle, in 2022, the PAC/NGO will mobilize in one blue state, against, for example, a vulnerable blue dog democrat. This PAC/NGO will use guerilla marketing against the vulnerable blue dog democrat. If the vulnerable blue dog Democrat loses, the strategy is replicated in 2024 with 3 election races. If the vulnerable blue dog Democrat wins, the PAC/NGO reassess its strategy, and repeats this strategy in 2024.

Guerrilla Marketing
This section is in the process of an expansion or major restructuring.
This page was last edited today. |
Guerrilla Campaign (Noun) - is an advertisement strategy concept designed for businesses to promote their products or services in an unconventional way with little budget to spend. This involves high energy and imagination focusing on grasping the attention of the public at a more personal and memorable level. |
In late 2014 I was working @ Peace Action Montgomery. After brainstorming ideas about mascots with the group, during the 2014 Election we dressed up as the "Peace Chicken" (in the spirit of "Chicken George" that hounded George Bush Sr) and followed around Maryland 6th District Democratic Delaney, a multimillionaire who has only a score of 63% on Peace Action West and was the most vulnerable candidate in the area. Delaney was being challenged by Republican Dan Bongino. Bongino promised peace. We met with the Bongino campaign before launching the "Peace Chicken" mascot and he supported our efforts.
The 2014 election was right before Halloween, only eight days before the election, inspired by the 1996 election with "Chicken George", we bought a chicken suit from Party Center in Rockville. We then tried to "Roger and Me" Delany (ambush and ask Delaney unpopular questions on video tape). We called reporters and emailed attempted to find out where he was going to be next. Unfortunately, because the election was only a couple of days away, we never caught Delaney on camera.
- But we did stand outside of his campaign headquarters for the last three days of the election in chicken costumes, eight hours a day, and waved signs supporting Bongino's peace promises.
The website, peacechicken.com has expired, but I have copies of the website.
Despite incumbent Delany having a huge war chest, and spending millions of dollars of his own money on the campaign, Bongino lost the election by only 5,000 votes. Peace Action Montgomery had a part in this extremely narrow victory.

Moscow/Political Asylum
- (Extremely redacted and edited public version)
- See also: Smuggling classified secret cyber documents to Russia
On June 8, 2016, I walked into the main KGB (FSB) building in Moscow and asked for political asylum. I had smuggled a Secret Document from the United States government to Russia which I gave to the KGB (FSB)
Actively seeking Russian political asylum (June 2016)
Background
During Stalin's Great Purges. Lubyanka Building (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubyanka_Building) was the main headquarters of the KGB (NKVD). Many prisoners were tortured in the building and executed. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the KGB was renamed the FSB.
In November 2015, Russian activist Petr Pavlensky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Pavlensky set fire to the door of the infamous FSB (KGB) Lubyanka building.
Walking into the infamous FSB (KGB) Lubyanka building (June 8?, 2016)
Security tensions in this infamous building were high by June 2016.
On June 8?, 2016, after trying since arrival in Moscow to get the attention of the Russian intelligentsia, I entered this KGB building unannounced and stated that I wanted political asylum to the guard. The guard said he could not help me.
Amazingly, I was able to just walk out of the building and I was not detained.
Lawyer's office across the street from the FSB (KGB)
- 2018 update: As of 2018, this office location has been closed and has been extensively remodeled.
I walked outside into the beautiful sunlight and immediately noticed a lawyer’s office directly across the street at Furkasovsky Lane, 3 (Фуркасовский переулок, 3). It was a pastel lime green building and had an old Soviet style lawyer's (юрист) sign above it - with no company name. The law offices have many names, including Боярцев и Партнеры and https://yandex.ru/maps/org/tsentr_pravovoy_pomoshchi/237725855937/ Legal Aid Center]. Their site: http://www.urpark.ru
I entered the building and requested a lawyer's consultation.
The secretary took me back to met Akob Edyardovich. There were several men in the office. I told him that I had just walked into FSB (KGB) Lubyanka building, this put everyone in the office in a panic. One man looked out the curtain window at the building across the street. They really were surprised. Akob agreed to help me with political asylum.
Contract for political asylum
Contract for political asylum
On June 8, 2016, Akob Edyardovich drew up a contract. For 500,000 rubles (approximately $8000 at the time) Edyardovich would help me get political asylum. I had read in the Moscow Times that it was impossible for Americans to get political asylum, even for Edward Snowden. But the end goal was not political asylum, the end goal was to put my name out their to those in power and show that I was dedicated completely and wholly to Russia.
I returned with 20,000 Rubles later. In another visit, Akob Edyardovich asked me to renounce my family and my ex-wife. I said no I could not.
I was explicitly warned (threatened) by Akob that I many lawyers like me are killed all the time in Russia.[1]
Akob told me not post any political comments on Facebook or social media. In response, I increased the number of Facebook political comments.

Translators
I had 3 translators that helped me translate with the lawyers office across the street from the FSB:
Vlad
First translator. Vlad is my first court appointed translator I had during my legal case against Language Link |

Darya (Dasha) Glishanova (Дарья Гришанова)
On July 11, 2016 I told Darya that I was recording the lawyer meetings by email and had her translate what was said in the meeting. Darya was a personal translator for FSB Lawyers. I met her at a meetup. She was the girlfriend on Nick, who I helped come to America. (See Clips below) |

A notary translated the information on my family, ex-wife, past political associations, where I once worked, and where I lived before.[2] |

Offered to teach English in the United State Embassy (June 16, 2016)
- I am 90% certain that Kathleen Zabelin is working closely with the American Embassy. See 2020 American Embassy scandal#Kathleen Zabelin phone call.
On June 10, one day after I met Akob in the lawyers office across the street from the main FSB building, Kathleen Zabelin contacted me.[3]
Kathleen, an American, of the Moscow University of Finance and Law in the high rises of Capital City.
On June 16, I interviewed to teach with her. The job included teaching in the United States Embassy, Zabelin asked if I felt "comfortable" working at the embassy. Zabelin had been married to a Russian for decades. She said she found my profile on Linkedin. She said there was only one other candidate.
As I wrote on Facebook that day:
- "It is patently absurd that someone who works that close to the American embassy would offer me a job. A cursory look at any of my statements on Russian television, my Facebook posts and the thesis papers on my Linkedin profile would show my feelings about American foreign policy."[4]
Walking in to the FSB a second time
In approximately August of 2016 I walked into the FSB building a second time. This time on a side door facing the bookstores. There was a secretaries desk encased in glass.
Return to America
I returned to America on September 15, 2016.

Events before walking into FSB - getting the attention of the FSB (KGB)
Inquiring about the KGB in first television interview (October 2015)
In October 2015 I was on television for the first time. I secretly audio recorded the entire interview. [ADD LINK] In the audio the staff laugh about me being CIA from the start. At the end of the interview I asked how I can get involved or join the KGB.
Threatened to be reported to the FSB by previous employer
Guided around Lubyanka Building after a party on the last day by two students.
American Leftist and former peace hippie states that I should just renounce my citizenship
On February 10, 2016, Karen Porter a very active peace activist during the Iraq War and fellow lawyer I met in Moscow suggested that I revoke my US citizenship because of my criticism of the United States:
- "The US is far from perfect, but I would never go to a much, much less perfect country [Russia] and shame my country. Despite its flaws, the US is far better than most. Here we can and do feel free to criticize just about everything, but I feel that here is where I do that and not in a place where people can only dream of what happened in New Hampshire last night. Again, I don't go abroad to criticize my country, which is only fodder for some very dangerous interests. I will not be used by those interests and will have the freedom and courage to make my comments where they do good, which is here. I do not go abroad with a mistaken notion that I know how to change things where it is none of my business to do so - I will make change at home, where my voice is appropriate."
- "If you feel so strongly, perhaps you should revoke your US citizenship and apply for Russian citizenship. Sounds like the route for you."
Walking off the set of Let's Get Married (April 2016) - Asking for political asylum on camera
Let's Get Married (Давай поженимся, Davay Pozhenimsya: literally "Let's Marry") is a Russian dating program on Channel One Russia.
KGB day celebration (May 28, 2016)
On May 26, 2016 Alexander Babenko (Александр Бабенко) invited me KGB day at a large park in central Moscow.
I had met Alexander Babenko my first week on a 25 kilometer hike. His English was superb. On a later hike, my friend Alina said how surprised how good his English was, because on previous hikes he acted like his English was not very good. He instantly started to invite me to activities and email me a lot.
That day, I told Alexander Babenko that I wanted to join the FSB (KGB). Alexander told me the same thing that every person said and I already knew: It was impossible as an American to join the KGB. That afternoon, Alexander said that there were two types of KGB, one that worked on the border, and one that was security like the FBI/CIA. I told him that I wanted to learn about political asylum. Alexander would not translate my questions and from my American perspective was being very duplicitous. I went around him and found former and current KGB officers who spoke English to answer my questions.
Email to FSB (June 4, 2016)
Hello, My name is Travis Lee Bailey. I am a 44 year old American Lawyer and English Teacher from Washington DC. I am interested in a Russian Passport and becoming a Russian citizen. I would like to teach Russians marketing, law, international relations, sociology, etc. from an American perspective. I am currently on a business visa but my work visa expired. I want to become a Russian Citizen legally. I would like to seek political asylum. I have been on RENTV twice denouncing America, and I was on Давай поженимся - Let's Get Married with Channel One. moscowamerican.com I have thought about coming to your office often. I walked around the building a few months ago in January with three other people from an English Club. I would like to discuss the issue with someone. If I can set up an appointment with an English speaking person in your office, that would be great. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely,

Political Prosecution in America
Political prosecution:
My lawyer Akob asked me in my interview for political asylum if I had ever been refused a job because of my political beliefs. I answered that I never had directly not been hired for my job to my knowledge, but I was open for years about my political beliefs which showed in my work product and published books, and I had been turned down for numerous positions. Often American companies do not explain why they do not hire a candidate.
I returned to America. In March 2018 I had an interview with DH Group @ 4020 700 E, Murray, UT 84107[14] and gave them a large portfolio of my work product. I accidentally included a copy of the cover of my book. On the back of my published book it states:
- Travis Lee Bailey is an American Lawyer who has lived in the former Soviet Union for four years. After smuggling in secret documents from the United States Strategic Command into Russia, he is currently working towards Russian political Asylum.
In a secretly recorded second interview, they refused to give me the job based on this blurb. (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BD0Le4eInV_h0lDxOWnI5vzPeDrrtaPa Audio Here])

Mr. Akob Edyardovich,
It was a pleasure to meet you and your translator Anna, and the other gentlemen yesterday in your office.
I have some questions about my immigration status.
I am uncertain what I am supposed to say and not to say.
I didn't receive any clear guidance other than to come in on Monday at 15:30 to pick up temporary visa.
I have told people only that I am getting temporary residency on Monday.
Is that okay to say?
I also have gotten a lot of work requests recently in the past two days.
Should I turn them down?
What should I reveal or not reveal?
I figure at this point my movements are being observed.
I just want to do this right.
My number is +7-910-472-11-98
Thank you in advance.

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

🇷🇺 Words which DO NOT EXIST in RUSSIAN: 🇷🇺
1️⃣ Make Love
2️⃣ Privacy
3️⃣ Have fun
4️⃣ Take Care
5️⃣ Efficiency
6️⃣ Challenge
The differences in language and literature—two significant products of a nation’s thought and psychology—demonstrate that English speakers and Russians are not very much alike. It is impossible to find precise Russian equivalents for the simple English word privacy, a concept that does not exist in Russian (nor in many other languages as well), other untranslatable words are above.

Gavriel Heine Gavriel Heine Toshka Kresch some context does seem to work, with one important caveat: уединение places the burden on the person who “for some reason desires solitude”.

Micah Williams Micah Williams I'd also like to say that I strongly disagree with the basic premise. I just wrote a dissertation in university on the surprising similarities between Russian and American cultures, and did a lot of research in the process. And what you realize in this research is that there are, of course, a LOT of huge differences, but the cultures share a lot of peculiar commonalities which most people don't realize, since they see the two nations as "ideological enemies" 11 Hide or report this Like

Harold De Gauche Harold De Gauche Да, ся вообще означает не переходный глагол. Разветвляться, страна разветвлялась, или наверняка совершенный более подходящее тут подходит. И предприятие разветвляют в новое направление. Но куча исключения имеются. Бычиться крутой во всяком случае. Высокомерный, вычернный, надменный, все синонемы. But posh is still a little different. For instance, 'he's a bit posh' may have 0% of the perjorative. The Russian equivalents we've given, for me, contain a greater sense of derision and contemn the person in question a little more.

Dasha Bundina Dasha Bundina Gavriel Heine yes, it's a bit more academic language. In conversations, you more likely to hear лично rather than приватно. Exception would be I guess приватный танец, приватный разговор that are used in day-to-day talks. Again, depending on whom you’re talking with mostly and what you’re reading. It’s quite advanced language, casual synonym is личный, лично, that is personal (ly) in English. Private and personal are quite similar words in English either, however, used in different collocations. I totally agree with that privacy isn’t a common word in daily speech. Nevertheless, reading or having a conversation over more abstract topic you encounter it as well as the concept of personal space physically, emotionally and mentally that the word means. 1 Hide or report this Like

Renato Calderón Renato Calderón This is a very very basic comparison between languages... I know this guy is trying to say that 'psychologically' there is a difference.... But in fact it has political, sociological and anthropological roots..... I guess whoever who really have russian friends, real ones, have descovered how all those concepts have a real meaning and they are very deep inserted in their society. Of course every country, culture or language has a different Interpretation of them, because language= evolution, and it is adapted to new realities..... This post it's like ready that someone discovered that the sky is blue...... And why the source is understanding the new Russia?.... Maybe those words are now more present that ever.... Sometimes some books are like internet... The fact that they are printed and they can be sold on a shop doesn't mean that who wrote it made a deep research. It's like that shit of the coconut and the peach??? ... Can two cultures be explain as easy as that.... No way...... 2 Hide or report this Like

Elena Faleschini Elena Faleschini But sometimes a challenge is good yet challenging. I believe we don't have a word for 'challenge' in Russian. I think it's 'испытание'+'comptetition'+'вызов'. We do have the idea of a challenge in our culture. Like all those videos of people challenging one another to do crazy things when drunk. Or to drink a bottle of vodka and survive🍺🍾 2 Hide or report this Like

Tim Abram Tim Abram Elena Faleschini I think you're right that "challenge" in the sense of "stay at home challenge" or some social media video challenges cannot be neatly translated into Russian in one word. I agree that it is a combination of вызов (calling upon someone to do something), соревнование (competing against others), and испытание (a trial, a test, something difficult which has to be endured). "Challenge" in this context carries elements of all three Russian words. Therein lies the "challenge" of translation 🤔👍. 2 Hide or report this Like

Gavriel Heine Gavriel Heine Semyon Kurlykov If you moved out of Russia when you were 9, then it’s doubtful that English is your first language - especially considering your words “they use it casually” (if you felt it was your first language, you would have typed “we use it casually”). Perhaps you should consider looking at the English language as then one which allows for expanded function and nuance when it comes to context. I would argue that the Russian language also uses «любить» in many contexts where an English speaker would instead use the word “like”. Hide or report this Like

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots
The two ways to lock a preference are:
(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies
This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
(2) Autoconfig
This is done by dropping two files: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig
What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Notes
Here is a German documentary about Presidents Putin's time in power. Contrast this with the following facts.
6 FACTS:
1️⃣ President Putin has consistently won elections with *~60% or more of the electorate voting for him* All foreign press acknowledges that President Putin won Russian elections with overwhelming majorities and their are *hundreds of opinion polls* conducted by Western organizations which support this fact.
2️⃣ US Congressmen, US Senators and most state governors can stay in power for their entire lives. Of all 3 US branches of government only the President has term limits.
3️⃣ The Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment, along with many state and federal judges.
4️⃣ America supports brutal dictators such as Saudi Arabia which has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis with the United States blessings and active support.
5️⃣ When the USSR collapsed, Russia trusted America that they would be honest and fair. Instead, America conducted what is called the "Shock Doctrine" on Russia. They helped create and actively encouraged the destabilization of Russia. The US actively and brazenly interfered in Russia elections to reelect the drunkard Yeltsin. When President Putin came to power *2/3rds of the country* was in poverty. Further, the US promised not to expand NATO and they broke this promise repeatedly.
6️⃣ US President Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski (Who also proudly admitted that the US goated the USSR into the Afghanistan War) *openly* admitted in his memoirs that social freedoms such as freedom of speech, etc, were used *solely* as a weapon to weaken the USSR.
Again, if America loves democracy so much, why does America actively support and fund one of the most oppressive countries in the world, Saudi Arabia?

Williamson articulated the level of courage it can take to overcome the fear of allowing our outer life to reflect the power of which our inner life is aware:
- Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (p. 190–191)

Ideologies

"A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still." -- Benjamin Franklin.
Cognitive dissonance
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
A person who finds a topic very confusing will often suspend judgment and keep right on believing in whatever he hopes is true. Over time, his questions lose urgency, and though not resolved, cease to become bothersome. Trust in a system will also help sustain a person through confusion until he reaches the point of no longer caring whether an answer is reasonable or not, or indeed, whether an answer even exists.
"When adults first become conscious of something new, they usually either attack or try to escape from it... Attack includes such mild forms as ridicule, and escape includes merely putting out of mind."
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity (clamness) opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.
History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.

Adam Ruins Everything - Why Proving Someone Wrong Often Backfires
<h>Q8NydsXl32s</h> Your entire show's built around the idea that if you prevent someone with better information you can change their mind. But the surprising truth is disproving a misconception can actually strengthen a person's belief in that misconception. It's called the backfire effect. The More you prove someone wrong the more they think they're right. That can't be true I change people's minds every day. You just proved my point I presented you with information that goes against you thinking and you just dug right into your beliefs. one study found that when people concerned about side effects with a flu shot were informed it was safe they actually became less willing to get it but those so illogical how is it possible? Because when you try to change someone’s mind the other person often feels attacked. Being proven wrong actually activates the same area of the brain as real physical paint [Music] World star stay ?? you can. A right hook will hurt ya. But her right facts will too. Being proven wrong hurts so much it often causes a fight-or-flight response I gotta get out of here. Nope you need to hear this Why am i reacting like this? Normally I love learning new things Simple you're protecting your identity. It’s called identity protective cognition [Music]

SECOND QUOUTE: Los Angeles Times:http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0125-27.htm The Idea That Brought Slavery to Its Knees] "...The reverberations from what happened on this spot, on the late afternoon of May 22, 1787, eventually caught the attention of millions of people around the world, including the first and greatest student of what today we call civil society. The result of the series of events begun that afternoon in London, wrote Alexis de Tocqueville decades later, was "absolutely without precedent…. If you pore over the histories of all peoples, I doubt that you will find anything more extraordinary." The building that once stood at 2 George Yard was a bookstore and printing shop. The proprietor was James Phillips, publisher and printer for Britain's small community of Quakers. On that May afternoon, after the pressmen and typesetters had gone home for the day, 12 men filed through his doors. They formed themselves into a committee with what seemed to their fellow Londoners a hopelessly idealistic and impractical aim: ending first the slave trade and then slavery itself in the most powerful empire on Earth."
THIRD QUOTE: Zinn recently said: "My hope is that whatever you do to make a good life for yourself -- whether you become a teacher, or social worker, or business person, or lawyer, or poet, or scientist -- you will devote part of your life to making this a better world for your children, for all children. My hope is that your generation will demand an end to war, that your generation will do something that has not yet been done in history and wipe out the national boundaries that separate us from other human beings on this earth."Another quote: “a number of famous mainland Chinese dissidents find themselves in the paradoxical position of a backyard bush that blooms on the neighbour’s side of the wall: enjoying great international fame but not recognised by the general public in their own country, known only within a small circle of people”.http://www.economist.com/blogs/asiaview/2010/10/nobel_peace_prize [2]]
Alexis de Tocqueville
Also see: http://www.dead-rising-wiki.com/wiki/Tocqueville Tocqueville]
I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America. The Americans, in their intercourse with strangers, appear impatient of the smallest censure and insatiable of praise...They unceasingly harass you to extort praise, and if you resist their entreaties they fall to praising themselves. It would seem as if, doubting their own merit, they wished to have it constantly exhibited before their eyes. It seems, at first sight, as if all the minds of the Americans were formed upon one model, so accurately do they correspond in their manner of judging. A stranger does, indeed, sometimes meet with Americans who dissent from these rigorous formularies; with men who deplore the defects of the laws, the mutability and the ignorance of democracy; who even go so far as to observe the evil tendencies which impair the national character, and to point out such remedies as it might be possible to apply; but no one is there to hear these things besides yourself, and you, to whom these secret reflections are confided, are a stranger and a bird of passage. They are very ready to communicate truths which are useless to you, but they continue to hold a different language in public. In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them. In the United States, the majority undertakes to supply a multitude of ready-made opinions for the use of individuals, who are thus relieved from the necessity of forming opinions of their own. Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom. The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colors breaking through. An American cannot converse, but he can discuss, and his talk falls into a dissertation. He speaks to you as if he was addressing a meeting... As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?

Albert Einstein
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
I MADE ONE great mistake in my life, Albert Einstein admitted, when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made...
Zinn
Zinn quotes Kissinger in his first chapter, on page 9: ""History is the memory of states," wrote Henry Kissinger in his first book, A World Restored, in which he proceeded to tell the history of nineteenth-century Europe from the viewpoint of the leaders of Austria and England, ignoring the millions who suffered from those statesmen's policies. From his standpoint, the "peace" that Europe had before the French Revolution was "restored" by the diplomacy of a few national leaders. But for factory workers in England, farmers in France, colored people in Asia and Africa, women and children everywhere, except in the upper classes, it was a world of conquest, violence, hunger, exploitation -- a world not restored but disintegrated."

In World War 2, a passing conversation with an warplane gunner changed Howard Zinn's life forever. Zinn argued that America was not imperialist and went away troubles with what this stranger said. Two weeks later this warplane gunner was shot down and killed. Decades later Zinn became an anti-war activist and author of the seminal "A People's History of the United States" This bombardier never truly knew the last legacy of love and peace he created in this world.
Just and Unjust War excerpt:
[Zinn] flew the last bombing missions of the war, got my Air Medal and my battle stars. I was quietly proud of my participation in the great war to defeat fascism. But when I packed up my things at the end of the war and put my old navigation logs and snapshots and other mementos in a folder, I marked that folder, almost without thinking, "Never Again."
I'm still not sure why I did that, because it was not until years later that I began consciously to question the motives, the conduct, and the consequences of that crusade against fascism. The point was not that my abhorrence of fascism was in any way diminished. I still believed something had to be done to stop fascism. But that clear certainty of moral rightness that propelled me into the Air Force as an enthusiastic bombardier was now clouded over by many thoughts.
Perhaps my conversations with that gunner on the other crew, the one who loaned me The Yogi and the Commisar, gave me the first flickers of doubt. He spoke of the war as "an imperialist war," fought on both sides for national power. Britain and the United States opposed fascism only because it threatened their own control over resources and people. Yes, Hitler was a maniacal dictator and invader of other countries. But what of the British Empire and its long history of wars against native peoples to subdue them for the profit and glory of the empire? And the Soviet Union--was it not also a brutal dictatorship, concerned not with the working classes of the world but with its own national power?
I was puzzled. "Why," I asked my friend, "are you flying missions, risking your life, in a war you don't believe in?" His answer astonished me. "I'm here to speak to people like you."
I found out later he was a member of the Socialist Workers party; they opposed the war but believed that instead of evading military service they should enter it and propagandize against the war every moment they could. I couldn't understand this, but I was impressed by it. Two weeks after that conversation with him, he was killed on a mission over Germany.

Chomsky
"Cuba has probably been the target of more international terrorism than the rest of the world combined and, therefore, in the American ideological system it is regarded as the source of international terrorism, exactly as Orwell would have predicted."
"No less insidious is the cry for 'revolution,' at a time when not even the germs of new institutions exist, let alone the moral and political consciousness that could lead to a basic modification of social life. If there will be a 'revolution' in America today, it will no doubt be a move towards some variety of fascism. We must guard against the kind of revolutionary rhetoric that would have had Karl Marx burn down the British Museum because it was merely part of a repressive society. It would be criminal to overlook the serious flaws and inadequacies in our institutions, or to fail to utilize the substantial degree of freedom that most of us enjoy, within the framework of these flawed institutions, to modify them or even replace them by a better social order. One who pays some attention to history will not be surprised if those who cry most loudly that we must smash and destroy are later found among the administrators of some new system of repression."

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power."---Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Fascist Dictator of Italy
"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
In a memorable insight, http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=677 Rebecca Solnit] has suggested that the successes of social movements should often be measured not by their accomplishments, but by the disasters they prevent:
"What the larger movements have achieved is largely one of careers undestroyed, ideas uncensored, violence and intimidation uncommitted, injustices unperpetrated, rivers unpoisoned and undammed, bombs undropped, radiation unleaked, poisons unsprayed, wildernesses unviolated, countryside undeveloped, resources unextracted, species unexterminated."
The Iraqi resistance, one of the least expected and most powerful social movements of recent times, can lay claim to few positive results. In two years of excruciating (if escalating) fighting, the insurgents have seen their country progressively reduced to an ungovernable jungle of violence, disease, and hunger. But maybe, as Solnit suggests, their real achievement lies in what didn't happen. Despite the deepest desires of the Bush administration, to this day Iran remains uninvaded -- the horrors of devolving Iraq have, so far, prevented the unleashing of the plagues of war on its neighbor
American Sociology
As Ed the Sock said last night, politicians are just a reflection of society. We don't want unpleasant truths, and demand to be lied to so as to feel better, and then complain when things don't work out perfectly. George Carlin also blames the American people for the problems with politicians, as they all come from American schools, churches, families, exposed to the same media and then voted on by their peers. Society creates the hated politician, who then pretends to be liked to sell you a product, just like cat food or laundry detergent.

We have the same roof over our heads, we sit at the same table, we know how to get along with each other, how to help each other out. Unfortunately, we are not alone."

Kerry will change his views to fit the facts; Bush will change the facts to fit his views
Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism...Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot consider themselves nobler, better, grander, more intelligent than those living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others.
"The loud little handful will shout for war. The pulpit will warily and cautiously protest at first…The great mass of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes, and will try to make out why there should be a war, and they will say earnestly and indignantly: ‘It is unjust and dishonorable and there is no need for war.' Then the few will shout even louder…Before long you will see a curious thing: anti-war speakers will be stoned from the platform, and free speech will be strangled by hordes of furious men who still agree with the speakers but dare not admit it...Next, statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."

Pentagon briefers told President Johnson that the true U.S. goals in Vietnam were, “70% to avoid a humiliating U.S. defeat; 20% to keep South Vietnam (and adjacent territories) from Chinese hands; 10% to permit the people of Vietnam a better, freer way of life.”
My kind of loyalty is loyalty to one's country and not to one's institutions or officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing to watch over. Its institutions and clothing can wear out and become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease and death. To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags, to die for rags, that is a loyalty of unreason.' This is important because in the present discussion boundaries have been set, lines have been drawn. Those who go outside those boundaries and criticize official policy are called unpatriotic and disloyal. When they accuse dissenters of that they have forgotten the meaning of loyalty and patriotism. Patriotism does not mean support for your government. It means, as Mark Twain said, support for your country. --Howard Zinn, from the Artists in a Time of War CD
Where the "Disneyland" Quote comes from:
- Leftists like to explain the disaffection of working-class people with public education as a natural reaction to the patriotism, conformity, and civility pushed by what they call the “ideological state apparatus.” The object of education, according to this view, is to police class boundaries by transforming most kids into a unquestioning drones while selecting a small number of others for management positions. Kids from blue-collar homes are supposed to know intuitively that this is the case, and they respond accordingly, cutting class and getting high and listening to The Wall over and over again. A more nuanced version of this critique, the 1995 book Lies My Teacher Told Me, points out that high school American history textbooks give ”a Disney version of history”: heroic, egalitarian, jam-packed with progress, and almost entirely free of class conflict. Teaching such an “Officer Friendly” account of reality, the author concludes, is merely to “make school irrelevant to the major issues of the day.” The kids know bullshit when they see it.
- The disaffection of the Kansas conservatives with public education is almost precisely the opposite. They do not have a problem with the idea that schools should be designed to churn out low-wage workers; indeed, Kay O’Connor (A conservative Kansas state senator) told me that was a worthy goal. The Cons (conservative wing of the Republican party) are pissed off because they think the schools don’t provide enough Disney, enough Officer Friendly. --What's the Matter with Kansas?

Dataclysm: Repelling some people draws others all the closer
🙶Repelling some people draws others all the closer... “Beauty is looks you can never forget. A face should jolt, not soothe.” For as with music, as with movies, and as with a wide variety of human phenomena: a flaw is a powerful thing. Even at the person-to-person level, to be universally liked is to be relatively ignored. To be disliked by some is to be loved all the more by others. And, specifically, a woman’s overall sex appeal is enhanced when some men find her ugly.🙷
🙶Given that everyone on Earth has some kind of flaw, the real moral here is: be yourself and be brave about it.🙷
🙶Repelling some people draws others all the closer.🙷
🙶In any group of women who are all equally good-looking, the number of (online dating app) messages they get is highly correlated to the variance: from the pageant queens to the most homely women to the people right in between, the individuals who get the most affection will be the polarizing ones. And the effect isn’t small—being highly polarizing will in fact get you about 70 percent more messages. That means variance allows you to effectively jump several “leagues” up in the dating pecking order—for example, a very low-rated woman (20th percentile) with high variance in her votes gets hit on about as much as a typical woman in the 70th percentile. Part of that is because variance means, by definition, that more people like you a lot (as well as dislike you a lot).🙷

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy
The US became staunchly anti-revolutionary after its own revolution The United States has countered [Central American] revolutions with its military power. Washington's recent policy, this book argues, is historically consistent for two reasons: first, for more than a century (if not since 1790), North Americans have been staunchly antirevolutionary; and second, U.S. power has been the dominant power outside (and often inside) force shaping the societies against with Central Americans have rebelled. ... Washington officials have opposed radical change not because of pressure from public opinion. Throughout the twentieth century, the overwhelming number of North Americans could not have identified each of the five Central American nations on a map, let alone ticked off the region's sins that called for an application of U.S. force. The United States consistently feared and fought such change because it was a status quo power. It wanted stability, benefited from the ongoing system, and was therefore content to work with the military oligarchy complex that ruled most of Central America from the 1820ss to the 1980s. The world's leading revolutionary nation in the eighteenth century became the leading protector of the status quo in the twentieth century. Such protection was defensible when it meant protecting the more equitable societies of Western Europe and Japan, but became questionable when it meant bolstering poverty and inequality in Central America.

The US intervenes in Central America to bestow the blessings of stability myth That the United States intervened in Central America simply to stop revolutions and bestow the blessings of stability tells too little too simply. The motive for Washington’s policy in Central America was not to stop upheavals, but to promote U.S. interests. In El Salvador, for example, North Americans—both in the business and the diplomatic community—continually encouraged a revolutionary faction between 1906 and 1913 because they knew the faction was more pro-United States (and anti-European capital) than the actual, legitimate government. Interests and imperial rivalry, not morality and consistency, drove U.S. policies.

The 1907 Central American Court The 1907 Washington conference spun a web of agreements that were to make Central Americans more interdependent and—as the North American Progressives theorists of the time believed—more peaceful and cooperative. The meetings established a Central American Court of Justice…Future disputes were to go not to the battlefield, but the Court. The Central American Court quickly became the global symbol for the Progressives’ growing faith in legal arbitration for the settlement of disputes. One North American proudly wrote, “To the powers of Europe, to the great powers of the world who struggled with partial success…to establish a court of arbitral justice, the young republics of Central America may recall the scriptural phrase, ‘A little child shall led them.’” Retired steel billionaire Andrew Carnegie happily gave $100,000 for a building to house the Court. It turned out to be one of Carnegie’s few bad investments. Within nine years the institution was hollow because twice—in 1912 and 1916—the United states refused to recognize Court decisions that went against its interests in Nicaragua. The North Americans destroyed the Court they had helped to create, and in doing so vividly demonstrated how the Progressive faith in legal remedies was worthless when the dominant power in the area paced its own national interest over international legal institutions.

More likely, it was because they were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their cell phones, arranging power lunches and stock transactions, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind and smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants.

Immaculate Genocide
American liberals support immaculate Genocide
The first concentration camps in the world were during the Boar War by the British in South Africa. The second country was America in the Philippine American War. Writing of the holocaust perpetrated by U.S. troops in the Philippines a century ago--an onslaught entailing orders that every male Filipino over the age of ten be slaughtered, and the resulting deaths of one in every six inhabitants on the island of Luzon --historian Stuart Creighton Miller describes "the tendency of highly patriotic Americans...to [vociferously] deny such abuses and even to assert that they could never exist in their country." The pattern is unmistakably similar to that exhibited by severe alcoholics who, despite all evidence of the damage their behavior has caused, chronically insist that "the opposite of everything is true."
More subtle than the characteristic refusal of "conservatives" to allow mere facts to in any way alter their core presumptions was/is the complementary nature of the "alternative" interpretation(s) most often posed by their "progressive" opponents. Noting that the Philippines genocide was a matter of public knowledge by 1901, Creighton Miller goes on to observe that collective "amnesia over the horrors of the war of conquest...set in early, during the summer of 1902." He then concludes by reflecting upon how "anti-imperialists aided the process by insisting that the conflict and its attendant atrocities had been the result of a conspiracy by a handful of leaders who carried out, through deceit and subterfuge, the policy and means of expansion overseas against the will of the majority of their countrymen."
"By refusing to acknowledge that most Americans had been bitten by the same bug that afflicted Roosevelt, Lodge, and Beveridge, anti-imperialists were letting the people off the hook and in their own way preserving the American sense of innocence. Unfortunately, the man in the street shared the dreams of world-power status, martial glory, and future wealth that would follow expansion. When the dream soured, the American people neither reacted with very much indignation, nor did they seem to retreat to their cherished political principles. If anything, they seemed to take their cues from their leader in the White House by first putting out of mind all the sordid episodes in the conquest, and then forgetting the entire war itself."
So it was then, the more so today. Contemporary conservatives, whenever they can be momentarily boxed into conceding one or another unsavory aspect of America's historical record, are forever insisting that whatever they've admitted can be "properly" understood only when viewed as an "exception to the rule," an "aberration," "atypical" to the point of "anamolousness." None have shown a readiness to address the question of exactly how many such "anomalies" might be required before they can be said to comprise "the rule" itself. When pressed, conservatives invariably retreat into a level of diversionary polemic excusable at best on elementary school playgrounds, arguing that anything "we have done is somehow excused by allegations that "they" have done things just as bad."
Progressives, on the other hand, while acknowledging many of America's more reprehensible features, have become far more refined in offering hook-free analyses than they were in 1902. No longer much preoccupied with such crudities as "conspiracy theory," they have become quite monolithic in attributing all things negative to handy abstractions like "capitalism," "the state," "structural oppression," and, yes, "the hierarchy." Hence, they have been able to conjure what might be termed the "miracle of immaculate genocide," a form of genocide, that is, in which--apart from a few amorphous "decision-making elites" --there are no actual perpetrators and no one who might "really" be deemed culpable by reason of complicity. The parallels between this "cutting edge" conception and the defense mounted by postwar Germans--including the nazis at Nuremberg--are as eerie as they are obvious.

Crises are like buses
'Useful metaphor: Crises are like buses
A bus goes to the same destination but it's carrying a bunch of random people who have very different priorities and very different goals. They'll ride this crisis for a while until it is no longer useful to them. It seems to me that this crisis is completely fictitious but that a lot of people including Putin are getting a lot of advantage out of it a lot of mileage out of it certainly people in Washington certainly people in London certainly people in Moscow. So it's if you look at it like that and you realize this crisis has been sort of like pushed along by a wide variety of different people then it starts to make a hell of a lot more sense. Because if you think of it as just like unicausal then it it becomes like just this one thing and you're like wondering well why are these things happening or this over here is happening. But if you realize that many people are on this bus and want it to go a certain way but not too far then it becomes a lot more understandable. I think it's a good useful heuristic for this situation

Two legal systems
Anyone who is poor knows there are two legal systems: A corrupt legal system for the poor and one for everyone else.™
At the Bailey Law Firm justice is not an abstract term.
It's something we create everyday for our clients.
Lawyers suck The law profession should be called the "fear profession".
A person will come to an attorney either with a current legal problem (fear) or a potential legal problem (fear).
Attorneys usually will then create even more fear, then they tell the lay person to "trust me" they alone know what this afraid person can do to stop this fear. It is a wonderful way that attorneys personally enrich themselves. It is yet another example of the corrupting influence of money in American society.
In all of our dealings with other lawyers we have paid, we cannot think of a single time in which an attorney has stepped back and said, this maybe technically illegal, but the chances of you being prosecuted are infinitesimally small.
Again and again, we have paid an attorney to tell us the most expensive options available which would get them the most money. These attorneys will intentionally leave out free or low costs options which don't involve paying them.
There is a good reason why everyone hates lawyers. Attorneys suck.
Is our legal offices any different? We would sure like to think so. Contact us to find out.
Corporations: an era of corruption
[Picture: Presidental prophecy.jpg]
"The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes." --Abraham Lincoln
How we work From 80 to 92 percent of all cases settle.
There are two courts: a court of law and a court of public opinion.
If you can't get justice in traditional court, you can assuredly get justice by publicizing a corporation's bad acts.
Our goal is to get you compensation as quickly and painlessly as possible. We do this by threatening to publish the organizations bad acts on the internet. If they do not settle within two weeks, we viciously destroy their reputation.

How America silents dissent
No man can struggle with advantage against the spirit of his age and country, and however powerful a man may be, it is hard for him to make his contemporaries share feelings and ideas which run counter to the general run of their hopes and desires.
--Alexis de Tocqueville
"In our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either." --Mark Twain
- The Overton window
Also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas tolerated in public discourse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
- The Spiral of Silence
By Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann
👑 People who see that the dominant social attitudes contradict their own position, “fall silent”, to avoid expressing their point of view, because they are afraid to be in the minority.
👑 The more prevalent the prevailing point of view seems to them, the more they “fall silent”.
The Overton window is an approach to identifying the ideas that define the spectrum of acceptability of governmental policies. It says politicians can act only within the acceptable range. Shifting the Overton window involves proponents of policies outside the window persuading the public to expand the window.
Public opinion does not exist
Pierre Bourdieu "Public Opinion Does Not Exist", for the following reasons:
👑 Firstly, not all people are capable of producing their opinion.
👑 Secondly, not all people's opinions are significant.
👑 Third, asking everyone the same question implies the hypothesis that there is a consensus about the problem, that is, an agreement about which questions are worth asking.
