The New Russia

Growing up in America we were conservative. Even after the disaster is known as the 60's counterculture.  The cities were shit and still are. For crying out loud, San Francisco has a poop map. There may be more cities with a poop map, I just haven't found them nor do I care to. I know the homeless situation is dire. I don't need a poop map to remind me.

Anyway, I look at Russia now and I miss what America use to be. The family was the center of life. Now one call can get the state involved. Give your child a bible and you may have a state nazi at your door. If you try to explain to your child they are the gender the Heavenly Father planned on them being, you will get a visit from big brother. And for the love of humanity don't try to explain that Heavenly Father created man and woman. That is because for humanity to continue this is what is required, male and female.

They are also seeing an upswing in Christianity. During the communist era, churches were destroyed. It was seen as a threat to the government. Eventually, they backed down a bit on that stance. However, since President Putin has been in office Russia has rebuilt 25 new churches. Russia's rise in conservative family values The video link I have included here is a wonderful video which shows how prized families are being treated in Russia. Also how people who take in children who are abandoned by their parents. Or the parents are unable to care for their children.

I am happy to see Russia come so far from where they were just twenty years ago. Here is the but in this whole thing. They are working to decriminalize domestic violence and child abuse. This is a problem and it needs to be dealt with. I have no problem with the idea that a priest will set down with a couple who are struggling. That is part of their job, or at least use to be a part of their job. They acted as a sounding board. A safe place for couples to talk and have assistance with the listening part of talking. However, President Putin should be reminded that the majority of women who are murdered are done so by their spouse. So there has got to be a prison sentence so bad that men will think twice about killing their wives. I am thinking Black Dophine. It's a prison in Russia that is so bad that if you are sentenced there, it's a one-way trip. Only once has there ever been a pardon issued for someone sent there.

Yes, Russia is returning to her roots of being Orthodox Christian, Conservative, and Patriotic. This is what America use to be when I was growing up. I say it again, I miss America I grew up in.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
