LETS SEE HERE, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. LETS TALK U.S. HERE. ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, THE CANADIANS ARE DUMB, FUNNY-LOOKING BACKWOODS BABOONS THAT ARE SHARP AS A WET NOODLE. RUSSIANS? DEVIOUS, CLOSET-DWELLING SPIES BENT ON WORLD DOMINATION. THE MEXICANS? GOD FORBID! DRUG-SMUGGLING, JOB STEALING WETBACKS LIVING OFF OUR SOCIAL BENEFITS WHILE SLURPING DOWN CERVEZAS ALL DAY LONG. WHY INSULT OTHER PEOPLE, WHEN YOU ARE THE BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT ON THE FACE OF THE GLOBE? GEE, ITS SO NICE AND REASSURING THE UNITED STATES IS SO COMPETENT IN WORLD AFFAIRS THAT IT BASES ITS FOREIGN POLICY ON THESE STEREOTYPICAL CARICATURES WITH WHICH TO BASE ITS ENLIGHTENMENT. INDEED. HOW MANY TIMES HAS THE U.S. USED THOSE SAME IMAGES TO ITS ADVANTAGE IN DEALING WITH OTHER COUNTRIES...WHEN I SEE THIS KIND OF IGNORANCE, I SHUDDER. THE U.S. NEVER ABANDONED THESE DANGEROUS AND ILL-CONCEIVED NOTIONS FOR BETTER-EDUCATED THOUGHT PROCESSES, YET THESE IDENTICAL THOUGHT PROCESSES ARE USED WHEN IT BENEFITS THE AMERICANS. TREATMENT OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT THIS PAST WEEK DEMONSTRATED THE JUVENILE LOCKER ROOM BULLYING TACTICS THEY THOUGHT THE RUSSIANS WOULD KNUCKLE UNDER TO. YES, I DID SAY BULLYING. THAT IS EXACTLY HOW THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT CONDUCTS BUSINESS AS USUAL, PREYING ON THOSE THEY DEEM LESSER THAN THEY ARE. HIDDEN....YEARS AGO, MY FAMILY BORROWED A BEAUTIFULLY BOUND VOLUME THAT TRACED THE FAMILY LINEAGE FROM OUR EARLIEST ROOTS IN THE BLACK FOREST OF GERMANY (THIS WAS TRACED BACK INTO THE 1700S), THROUGH RUSSIA AND INTO THE UNITED STATES. THE TOME WAS PREPARED BY ONE OF MY CATHOLIC COUSINS; A HIGHLY-RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE PRIESTHOOD, NOTED RESEARCHER AND TITLED WITHIN THE CHURCH. HIS RESEARCH WAS EXHAUSTIVE AND IRREFUTABLE. WHAT HE DISCOVERED WAS UNIMAGINABLY INCREDIBLE AND WORTH NOTING, AND THE INDIVIDUALS HE DISCOVERED WITHIN THE FAMILY WERE REMARKABLE AND EXTRAORDINARY. WAS ASTONISHED AND AMAZED TO LEARN THAT ONE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY WAS A SOVIET GENERAL, A ROGOCHEVSKY, A HIGHLY-DECORATED AND HIGHLY-RESPECTED GENERAL WITHIN THE ENCLAVE OF THE SOVIET RED ARMY. A MAN TO RECKON WITH. I KNEW MY FAMILY HAD MARRIED RUSSIAN ON OCCASSION, BUT THIS, TO ME, WAS SIGNIFICANT AND EXTRAORDINARY. WHILE I KNEW THAT, WHILE I WAS PRINCIPALLY GERMAN IN HERITAGE, I WORE THE EARMARKS OF SOVIET ROYALTY ON MY FAMILY TREE. THAT IS AS ROYAL AS IT GETS IN RUSSIAN STATUS. WHILE I WAS APPALLED AS TO HOW THE SOVIET UNION CAME TO BE AND THE ENORMOUS AND WIDESPREAD TRAGEDY SWEPT AWAY THE OLD ORDER AND VIOLENCE, BLOODSHED, UNIMAGINABLE TERROR, HORRORS OF CIVIL WAR, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS A PART OF MY INTERNAL MAKEUP. IN ORDER TO RISE TO THAT ESTEEMED RANK OF GENERAL, ROGOCHEVSKY MUST HAVE PERFORMED ADMIRABLY AND BEYOND EXPECTATION TO EARN THAT PRIVILEGE AND THAT COVETED RANK. THEN, I REALIZED THAT WE WERE EXTRAORDINARY, IN OURSELVES. CLOSER RELATIVES HAD SUFFERED THE PENALTIES IN SOVIET CAMPS AND DIED UNDER THE VERY SAME PERSON WHO HAD HONORED ROGOCHEVSKY. THAT PERSON WAS JOSEF STALIN; THE MOST BRUTAL, PARANOIC, AND CRUEL MAN TO LEAD A NATION AND HER PEOPLE. RUSSIA, IN ITSELF, IS NOT A CRUEL NATION. SHE IS BLESSED BY ALMOST 200 ETHNIC DIVISIONS. HARD-WORKING, INDUSTRIOUS, AND DILIGENT PEOPLE LIVING TOGETHER UNDER A COMMON FLAG. GOOD PEOPLE WITH GOOD HEARTS AND FINE MINDS. IT IS A PRIVILEGE I CARRY THAT IN ME AND THE HERITAGE WE ALL SHARE. YES, WE ARE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE. MY RUSSIAN HERITAGE IS STRONG AND VITAL AND I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT I CARRY THAT WITH HONOR, DISTINCTION, AND PURPOSE. WITH THAT, I CARRY THE IDEALS THAT PEOPLE HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS, AMONG THEM THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION AND THE HUMAN RIGHT TO SECURITY, STABILITY, HERITAGE, AND CONFIDENCE. STALIN WAS BORN JOSIP VISSIRONOVICH DZUGASHVILI IN THE GEORGIAN REGION OF RUSSIA. AMONG OTHER THINGS, HE HAD STUDIED FOR THE ORTHODOX PRIESTHOOD, BUT ABANDONED IT FOR THE POLITICAL FIELD AMIDST THE UPHEAVALS OF AN ONCOMING REVOLUTION. FROM GENTLE PRIEST-IN-TRAINING, HE BECAME A BLOOD-THIRSTY AND BRUTAL JOSEF STALIN THAT INHERITED THE COUNTRY FROM A DEAD VLADIMIR LENIN IN 1924. FROM 1924 THROUGH THE EARLY 1950S, THE THEN-SOVIET UNION ENDURED UNTOLD HORRORS; UNIMAGINABLE TREACHERY, HORRIFIC PRISONS (IN WHICH SOME FAMILY MEMBERS PERISHED), BLOODY TERRORS, AND CRUEL AND BRUTAL EXECUTIONS. THIS WAS LIFE UNDER JOSEF STALIN IN THAT BEAUTIFUL, TORTURED COUNTRY. AFTER STALINS DEATH CAME A SUCCESSION OF LEADERS, LESSER AND MORE-RECOGNIZED; KHRUSHCHEV, BREZHNEV, ANDROPOV, GORBACHEV, AND ONTO PUTIN. WE HAVE BORNE WITNESS TO A COUNTRY THAT HAD TO BOTTOM OUT, BEFORE SHE COULD RISE TO HER CURRENT LEVEL. ALL THROUGHOUT THAT TIME, THE THAUBERGER NAME HAS LIVED ON IN THE CHERSON REGION IN A LOVELY CITY CALLED, KLOSTERDORF. AS A GRANDDAUGHTER OF RUSSIA, I AM VERY PROUD OF THE DRASTIC AND REDEMPTIVE TURN THIS STRIKING COUNTRY HAS MADE IN THE YEARS SINCE. NOW THAT I HAVE ESTABLISHED A TIMESET, I WILL TELL THE STORY OF HOW WE CAME TO BE IN THAT LAND. DURING THE RULE OF CATHERINE THE GREAT IN RUSSIA, SHE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF LAND THAT NEEDED DEVELOPMENT IF RUSSIA WERE GOING TO SUCCEED. SHE KNEW THAT AGRICULTURE WAS THE KEY IN MAKING RUSSIA WORK AS A NATION AND MAKING A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, ECONOMICALLY. AN AGRICULTURALLY-RICH LAND MEANT ECONOMIC GROWTH AND STANDING IN THE EUROPEAN MARKETS SHE HAD HER EYE ON. WELL, THERE WAS AN APPARENT SHORTAGE OF SUITABLE INDIVIDUALS CAPABLE OF FULFILLING HER GOALS, SO SHE DECIDED TO IMPORT THEM. BEING GERMAN-BORN, HERSELF, SHE SENT THE BEST PUBLIC RELATIONS AGENTS INTO GERMANY WITH THE INTENTION OF BRINGING THE BRIGHTEST, BEST, AND MOST CAPABLE BACK TO RUSSIA WITH HER HOMESTEADING PROGRAM. WELL, ON CAME MY ANCESTORS TO MAKE A NEW AND FRESH START IN THE PROMISED LAND. LAND, THEY RECEIVED; BUT, IT WASNT THEIRS TO KEEP. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE SERFS WERENT FREED UNTIL THE 1860S UNDER ALEXANDER II. THAT WAS A LONG TIME OFF. SO, DESPITE HARSH CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, ROUGH LIVING, AND THE OCCASSIONAL HARD LIVING UNDER THE IMPERIAL LIFESTYLE, MY ANCESTORS BROUGHT LIFE INTO OTHERWISE UNFARMABLE LANDS. MY FAMILY LIVED THIS WAY, INCLUDING THE VARIOUS POLITICAL UPHEAVALS THAT CAME THAT WAY, UNTIL THE ADVENT OF WORLD WAR I, UNDER THE UNCERTAIN AND MISGUIDED LEADERSHIP OF TSAR NICHOLAS II. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER, JOSEPH THAUBERGER HEARD THAT THERE WOULD BE AN EVEN GREATER THREAT TO HIS FAMILY THROUGH THE UPCOMING REVOLUTION THAT WOULD DWARF THOSE PREVIOUS. ACCORDING TO WHAT I WAS TOLD AS A YOUNGSTER, A RELATIVE WAS ATTACHED TO THE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL NAVY AND THE NEWS SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE AT THE RUSSIAN NAVAL BASE IN ODESSA THAT THIS REVOLUTION WAS IMMINENT AND HAD EVERY CAPABILITY TO WIPE OUT EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH. NATURALLY, PEOPLE WERE RUNNING SCARED AND MAKING PLANS TO FLEE RUSSIA AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY. GREAT-GRANDFATHER GATHERED HIS AND SEVERAL OTHER FAMILIES AND PREPARED TO LEAVE FOR SAFER GROUND. WAR WAS UNDERWAY THROUGHOUT MUCH OF EUROPE AND TRAVELLING WOULD NOT BE EASY. GRANDDAD WAS IN HIS LATE TEENS WHEN THEY SAW RUSSIA FOR THE VERY LAST TIME. THEY MADE THEIR WAY TO BRITAIN, WHERE THERE WAS A NEW HOMESTEADING PROGRAM UNDERWAY THROUGH THE WORK OF KING GEORGE VS GOVERNMENT. THIS TIME, IT WAS IN CANADA; A WORLD AWAY. IT WAS THE SETTLEMENT PROGRAM. IN THE YEARS SINCE, I CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT WE BUILT THE CANADIAN BREADBASKET; WHILE NOT THERE, PHYSICALLY, I CLAIM THAT PRIDE THROUGH FAMILIAL ASSOCIATION AND FAMILY IDENTIFICATION. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH MODERN-DAY RUSSIA? NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD MY BLOOD DWELLS, THAT IS MY HOME. MY EARLY HOME IS KLOSTERDORF, RUSSIA. I EXAMINE ONLINE PHOTOS OF THAT LOVELY LITTLE CITY AND HER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. THAT IS MY HOME. CANADA IS MY HOME. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WASHINGTON, D.C.? THE MORONIC IMBECILES AND BRAINLESS, CLUELESS RETARDED PEOPLE THAT RESIDE IN THAT CITY ARE INSULTING MY HOME(-S). YES, I AM LOYAL. I AM LOYAL TO RUSSIA. I AM LOYAL TO CANADA. I AM LOYAL TO PRESIDENT VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH PUTIN. I AM LOYAL TO PRIME MINISTER STEPHEN HARPER. PRESIDENT PUTIN IS THE VERY BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO RUSSIA IN THE LONGEST TIME. RUSSIA IS ALL THE BETTER FOR A MAN WITH HIS INTELLECT, BRILLIANCE, RESOURCEFULNESS, INGENUITY, THOUGHTFULNESS, STATESMANSHIP, STRENGTH, SMARTS, DIPLOMACY. PRESIDENT PUTIN HAS ENHANCED THE POSITION OF THE CHURCH IN RUSSIA AND IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE CHURCH AND THE INSTITUTION HAS ENJOYED GREAT POPULARITY SINCE HE ASSUMED LEADERSHIP OF THAT GREAT COUNTRY. THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE REFLECT HIS LEADERSHIP AND EXHIBIT A RENEWED SENSE OF PRIDE AND SENSE OF BEING RUSSIAN. THE COUNTRY DEMONSTRATES A SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN AGRICULTURAL, EXPLOITING OF SELF-SUSTAINING RESOURCES, INDUSTRY, MANUFACTURING, TECHNOLOGY, AND ECONOMIC. RUSSIA IS THRIVING AND THE PROMISE ENDIRES THROUGH REALITY. YES, I AM DAMNED PROUD OF RUSSIA. AS LONG AS MY DNA RUNS STRONG, DEEP, AND PROUD, I AM DAMNED PROUD OF THAT COUNTRY. CANADA IS ON A PAR WITH RUSSIA IN ALL THINGS SIGNIFICANT. AGRICULTURAL, ACADEMIC, NATURAL RESOURCES, INDUSTRY, MANUFACTURING, COMMERCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND FINANCIAL. CANADA IS AMERICAS POWERFUL NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH AND SHE KNOWS IT, TOO. YOURE DAMNED RIGHT I AM VERY PROUD OF MY CANADIAN HOME. WHETHER THE RUSSIAN TRI-COLOR STANDARD OR THE CANADIAN MAPLE LEAF, EITHER FLAG SAYS THAT IM HOME. QUESTION IS; HOW OFTEN WILL THE UNITED STATES CONTINUE TO INSULT OTHER COUNTRIES WITHOUT SANCTION, AS THEY ARE SO FREE TO SANCTION OTHERS? FREE TO INSULT, TO DEGRADE, TO DENIGRATE, TO BULLY, TO PUNISH, TO HUMILIATE; WHEN DOES IT END? BOTH CANADA AND RUSSIA, ALSO, POSSESS MILITARIES THAT OWN TO THEM. THAT RIGHT IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE UNITED STATES. HOW MANY ILLEGITIMATE AND ILL-CONCEIVED ENGAGEMENTS HAS THE UNITED STATES BEEN A PART OF IN RECENT MEMORY? TOO MANY; NONE WITH ANY SERIOUS THREATS TO NATIONAL SECURITY INVOLVEMENT, EITHER. UNTIL THE UNITED STATES IS RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT IT IS, IT WILL GO WITHOUT REPRISAL FOR ITS THREATENING THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY ON A MASSIVE SCALE. FRANKLY, I AM TIRED OF LIVING UNDER THE CONTINUING THREATS FROM THE BULLY THAT THINKS ITS GOD-GIVEN RIGHT IS LIVING BY A DOUBLE-STANDARD OF DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO. SELF-DETERMINATION IS A GOD-GIVEN HUMAN RIGHT, NOT THE SELECTIVE ENDOWMENT OF THE UNITED STATES. ASK THE HAWAIIANS. IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY, THE HAWAIIANS LEARNED THE HARD WAY. INFLUENCED BY POWERFUL AND WHITE SUGAR BARONS THAT DOMINATED THE HAWAIIAN LANDSCAPE, THOUGHTS OF ANNEXING THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS TOOK SHAPE. BEFORE THE NATIVES REALIZED IT, THE HAWAIIAN ROYAL FAMILY WAS EXTRICATED FROM IOLANI PALACE AND THE SOCIAL ORDER WAS SWEPT AWAY. THE MARINES WERE ON HAND TO LEND A HAND, ACTUALLY, ARMS, TO MAKE SURE THE UNARMED RESIDENTS CEDED PEACEFULLY. NOW, THE NEW ORDER BEGAN, COURTESY OF THE HOWLIES THAT WERE THEIR NEW MASTERS. FOR THE NEXT 50-OR SO-YEARS, HAWAIIANS WERE THOROUGHLY EXPLOITED UNTIL THE INEVITABLE STATEHOOD IN 1959. THEY NEVER FORGAVE THE WHITE TYRANTS THAT CONQUERED THEIR ISLANDS JUST TO EXPLOIT THEM. EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO RETAKE THEIR ISLANDS AND TO EXPEL THE HOWLIES THAT NOW CALL ALL THE SHOTS. AND AMERICA PUNISHES RUSSIA FOR RECLAIMING WHAT WAS THEIRS TO BEGIN WITH? IT TAKES A CROOK TO MAKE OTHERS OUT TO BE CROOKS, TOO. IT BRINGS THEM TO THEIR LEVEL. ASK THE HAWAIIANS. THEY KNOW AMERICAN POLICY. YES, ASK THE HAWAIIANS. THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS A COLOSSAL GALL. BE CAREFUL OF WHOMEVER YOU CHOOSE TO BULLY; THE BULLIED HAVE WAYS OF FIGHTING BACK. SANCTIONS? NOT WORTH THE BREATH OF WORDS, NOT WORTH THE PAPER WRITTEN ON, CERTAINLY NOT WORTH THE EFFORT. RUSSIA HAS ENDURED WORSE AND, YES, IT WILL WEATHER THIS STORM, TOO. MAYBE AMERICA HAS FORGOTTEN THAT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE WILL ENDURE. IF THEY FORGOT THIS, THEY WILL BE REMINDED. IT HAPPENS.
