A Russian Super-Spy Exposed

Here is the news that exposes a REAL spy, sent by Russia to destroy America:

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20100727-707630.html

MOSCOW (Dow Jones)--BP's new chief executive designate Robert Dudley and outgoing incumbent Tony Hayward will travel to Russia to meet with government officials and BP's business partners in Russia, a company spokesman said Monday.

Hayward, who already served on the board of BP Russian joint venture TNK-BP from 2003 to 2007, will be nominated again for that board as he's replaced by Dudley at the helm of BP Oct. 1. Hayward in the past regularly met with Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, the powerful official who overseas Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's energy policy, and Hayward has a good working relationship with the energy czar, the spokesman said.

"He was coming regularly, coming to Moscow every two or three months," Buyanov said. He declined to comment on Hayward's possible compensation.
---------------------

In other words, Hayward was trained in Moscow by SVR to destroy the American environment, and having succeeded, he now returns to Moscow for further training. Need I say more?

Will the FBI arrest him before he leaves America? And what kind of a mass murderer will they exchange him for?

La Russophobe wrote about the Vancouver Olympics: "Actually, at the last Olympic Games Russians were proved to have been the very worst cheater of all nations present"

A lie. Not a single Russian athlete was caught at cheating at the Vancouver Olympic Games. Not one.

La Russophobe continued: "And thanks for admitting that no Russian would win the TDF. They didn’t. Not even a top-three finish."

Wrong. Denis Menchov just finished in 3rd place in Tour de France, just 2 minutes behind the winner:

Denis Menchov didn't make as many headlines as Alberto Contador, Andy Schleck or Lance Armstrong. But Menchov did ride an amazing 2010 Tour de France and finished on the podium. Menchov took third.

The best American finished only in 10th place, 12 minutes behind the winner and 10 minutes behind Menchov. And keep in mind that USA's population is more than twice that of Russia.

As far as American cyclists are concerned, virtually all their achievements in TDF in the last 20 years are due to doping and cheating:

Lance Armstrong - accused of constant cheating by his own American teammates Frankie Andreu and Floyd Landis, currently under investigation by the US criminal authorities

Frankie Andreu - convicted dope using cheat

Tyler Hamilton - convicted dope using cheat

Floyd Landis - "won" TDF but was convicted dope using cheating and had his TDF crown taken away

George Hincapie - alleged by former U.S. Postal teammate Floyd Landis to have participated in systematic doping in the early 2000s

US Postal Office team - entire team engaged in non-stop doping

La Russophobe continued: "Much less did any Russian even dream of repeat wins like Armstrong, the greatest biker in the history of the world."

Of course not. Armstrong won by doping. Why would Russians dream of imitating a despicable doping cheat like Armstrong?

La Russophobe continued: " Russia has never produced one such figure in any of the leading athletic contests in world history."

You are an idiot. Here are just a few examples of famous Russian/Soviet athletes. And keep in mind that the entire USSR had a smaller population than USA:

La Russophobe continued: "Your lies are really quite silly and neo-Soviet in character."

You are a little spoiled retarded child.

Response to Robert

Robert wrote: "There was no “war against Grenada. There was a war against an unpopular Grenadian military junta and a battalion of Cuban “workers”."

You are an idiot. Saying the above is like saying "Hitler didn't attack Poland. He attacked a horrible Polish government under the rule of the dictator Pilsudski"

I may have mistakenly said "Huns conquered Rome" instead of "Huns defeated the Roman Empire and forced them to pay tribute and may have misspelled "Vietcong" because the Vietnam war was before I came to America, but you are so ignorant that you think that USA won the Viet Nam war.

The fact is that Wikipedia (which you loved to quote to others until somebody else did it to you) even uses the US defeat in the Vietnam war as a canonical example of the term "defeat":

http://www.answers.com/topic/defeat

Dictionary: de·feat (dĭ-fēt')

US Military History Companion:
Defeat

American defeat in Vietnam, though, forced Americans to confront their assumptions of invincibility. A few Americans, including some political leaders, at times claimed that the United States had never really been defeated on the field of battle. But this time the mythmaking seemed to fail; most Americans accepted the reality of what they saw as America's first defeat in war. Others, especially those in the military, searched for the cause of this defeat.

David Essel: the Living Proof that Darwin Was Mistaken

David Essell wrote : “I have just today been comparing two brands of crispbread, one Russian and one imported. The imported one costs 50% more for a packet than the Russian one of the same approximate volume. Only problem with the Russian one is that having got it home, I now notice it weighs at least 50% less (I’ve been ripped off on the actual content, which is mostly air). Everything in Russia is based on rip-off."

------------------------------

Tell me, David, the "imported" brand - from where is it imported? Zanzibar? Rwanda? Because all major crispbreads imported from Europe, Scandinavia in particular, sell both the regular and the aerated versions. Take, for example, the most famous brand - Swedish Wasa. Amazon sells both the regular Wasa Crispbread Multi Grain version:


Wasa Crispbread, Multi Grain
9.7-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)
Price: $24.37 ($0.21 / oz)

and the aerated (airy) Wasa Crisp ‘n Light 7 Grain version:


Wasa Crisp ‘n Light 7 Grain
4.9-Ounce Boxes
Price: $24.37 ($0.50 / oz)

Notice that both come in packages of identical size and cost the same per package, but the Wasa Crisp ‘n Light weighs half as much and thus costs twice as much per ounce as the regular Wasa Crispbread.

As you can see, in Sweden, Russia and the rest of Europe, regular crispbreads are dense, while gourmet and diet ones are aerated (airy) on purpose. To evolved people, aerated crispbreads and many other foods are a delicacy:

Aerated foods (and drinks) represent the best and most luxurious that the chef or food manufacturer can provide, inspiring praise in the dining room and repeat sales at the retailer... bread, ... wafers, vol au vents, crackers, crumpets, crispbreads, pancakes, puff pastry... muffins, aerated chocolate bars, honeycomb, meringues.. – the list is, if not endless, certainly extensive!

Since you didn't appreciated aerated crispbreads, let me share with you a little trick that my mother taught me when I was 4 years old. If you are buying a product in a store (any product!) and you have no capability to determine how heavily this product weighs in your hand, you can look up its weight on the package label. I am not kidding you! Humankind has been putting weights on food package labels for centuries! Now you know it too. What else can I teach you? How to tie your shoes?

“...Only problem with the Russian one is that having got it home, I now notice it weighs at least 50% less..."

Tell me: does the label on this Russian aerated crispbreads package falsely claim a heavier weight than it actually is, or does the label tell the truth, but you were too dumb to realize that this was a puffed product and was of low density?

"...The imported one costs 50% more for a packet of the same approximate volume..."

Didn't even THAT alert to to the fact that the Russian breads could be less dense? What were you thinking? That you were getting a bargain? Did you think you were taking an advantage of the gullible Russians who were charging too little?

"I’ve been ripped off on the actual content... "

No, you weren't. They sold less bread by weight, but they also charged less. The only problem here is that you don't read labels and can't estimate weights of things by holding them in your hand.

"...which is mostly air..."

That's the whole purpose of aerated products: the luxurious feeling of the air inside!

So, let's summarize. You came across a package of “imported” regular crispbreads and a package of Russian aerated crispbreads. Being an ignoramus, you are not aware of the concept of aerated foods. Being also an idiot, you don't know how to read labels. All you saw was that the Russian product was cheaper and you grabbed it. And now you blame Russians.

"... while quality-wise the imported item is made of best rye flour... "

How can you know that this rye flour is the best? Did you inspect the mill where it's produced? Given your ignorance and incompetence, I don't think that you would be able to distinguish a trough full of bread made from the best rye flour from a trough full of bread made from the worst rye flour.

"...and the Russian one is a nasty mix of air and biscuit."

OK, OK, we got it already: not being a connoisseur, you don't like aerated foods, and you blame Russians for your inability to realize that you were buying aerated crispbreads.

BTW, newsflash for you: biscuit is made from rye/wheat flour.

"On the other hand, those same people have plenty of lazy greed. "

No, as demonstrated above, it is you who is both greedy and lazy.

Russians are especially fond of airy products, especially the so-called “porous (aka aerated) chocolates” like “Slava” which became a hit in the USSR back in the 1950s or 1960s. They are described in the Russian Wikipedia. Translation:

Aerated chocolate is produced from liquid chocolate, which is poured into molds to ¾ volume, placed in a vacuum pots and kept in liquid state (at 40 ° C) for 4 hours. In vacuum, due to the expansion of air bubbles, a porous structure of the tiles is formed.

Thanks, David, for brightening my day. Your hilarious comments on crispbreads are a classic example of cluelessness that I will treasure for weeks. No wonder you get your inspiration from La Russophobe:

David Essel wrote: "I say: Fortunately for me, I refuel at La Russophobe and run on quality gas and air. Get better mileage that way (and the gauges are properly calibrated)."

Are you the same Rev. David Essel who is prominently displayed by Google when searched for? You describe yourself as "For over 25 years, Rev. David Essel, Master Inspirational Coach, Motivational Speaker, Author, Adjunct Professor and Radio/TV Host has been inspiring and empowering people to take charge of their lives. David can help you, too, create an exceptional life by tapping into the power of your mind - body - spirit connection....”".

I can see that you are very good at monetizing and profiting from your "motivations" to your clients, dear Reverend, through such materials as "God Speaks Through the Heart of A Young Monk $15.00 ( FREE S/H within Continental U.S.A. )" and "The Fastest Way To Get Everything You Want $15.00". My neighbour tried to become a motivational speaker like yourself. He bought a certificate that he was a "Reverend", just like you did, and also started to sell books and tapes and videos. But, unlike yours, his racket went nowhere.

So, La Russophobe is your idol, eh? Since you call yourself a "Reverend", I assume that she is not your only idol. Jesus and money (not necessarily in this order) are your other idols. Could you remind me what the Ten Commandments say? "I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself other idols. You shall not bow down to them or worship them".

I also have this question for you. You wrote: "crispbread, one Russian and one imported." So, the Russian crispbread is "domestic" to you? Does that mean that you live in Russia? Is it Moscow?

Here are more images of an aerated chocolate bars:

Russian Food

Commercially made sweets in Russia are indeed exceptional. The one you are talking about may be called "slivochnaya pomadka". Unfortunately it is best when eaten fresh (within the first 2 weeks), so they don't export it.

Or it may be one of hundreds of other delicacies.

Another favourite of mine are "almond pastries". These are fluffy cookies made out of almond paste and sugar. They taste a bit like the Italian amaretti, but amaretti are hard and crunchy, while the Russian almond cookies are soft and melt in your mouth. I know a store in San Francisco that sells them, made by local Russian immigrants.

Once my mother made me a batch, and I took them to work to share with colleagues. Soon there was a line for seconds and thirds, and people were upset that I ran out of them quickly.

In general, all this talk about commercially made American-style cupcakes, cookies, cakes etc make me laugh: compared to Russian pastries, these are so primitive and disgusting-tasting. Especially birthday cakes: simplistic layers of disgusting and often salty cream and dough, all the same. Russian cakes (called ‘tortes”) are extremely elaborate, and involve numerous different textures.

Of course, artisan-made pastries in USA can be excellent.

Tortes (cakes) made by good Russian commercial bakeries are absolutely spectacular. I tried to google image search, but could not find sites of best bakeries, however here is a typical catalogue of mass-produced tortes:
