AUTHOR LADA RAY INTERVIEW:

GEOPOLITICAL & PERSONAL BLUEPRINT FOR OUR FUTURE!

By Maddie Walsh @ 1EarthUnited

Author Lada Ray opens up to 1EarthUnited about what goes into her astonishingly accurate calibrations, how they work and what her future plans are. In this big interview, Lada is kindly providing some awesome, never shared before, excerpts from her new book, with key calibrations for Russia and China!

And Lada reveals her newest exclusive predictions about the future of the West, US dollar, Africa and Russia!

1EarthUnited: INTRO

Hello Lada, 

Welcome to my blog! 

I recently read your new book, Geopolitical & Geo-Economic Quantum Calibrations. What I felt… it was like the next level of awakening. To give our readers an idea, this is the review I posted on: Goodreads and Kobo:

A must read if you need to take control of your life during uncertain times, in Lada Ray’s terminology: The Great Earth Shift. Quantum calibrations will help with financial direction, geopolitical and economic megatrends which will shape the future of the country you live in, Lada addresses the entire world. I have divested and reinvested quite successfully, shifting asset classes favorable to the upcoming period all with your divine help Lada. Your newest book shares much of this crucial knowledge, providing insight as well as foresight to the most favorable locations and potential opportunities around the world.

I strongly recommend all my blog followers to prepare and be forearmed with Lada’s timeless wisdom and guidance, her latest book is a virtual roadmap to avoiding pitfalls and maximize the best potential opportunities you wish to experience in life. By far the most valuable and indispensable read for the upcoming Period 9!

I also posted a review on Barnes&Noble

THE BEST and most insightfully accurate source of geopolitical news and analysis that I’ve read and digested so far! Since having followed Lada’s work I found Quantum Calibrations to be an exceptionally useful tool for evaluating and clarifying many things in my life and the world. The calibrations and chapters explaining how each country works and why: including economy, finance, leaders, solvency and sovereignty is priceless! I find that Lada’s methods provide me with valuable insight & solid direction for my business, where to relocate, and best place to keep my money during this upcoming Earth Shift Period. Lada, you have my everlasting gratitude and love dear friend! Infinite blessings indeed.

Q1 – 1EarthUnited

Firstly: your phenomenal book focuses on calibrations of countries, global organizations, superpowers, armies, economies, solvency and sovereignty. You calibrated an enormous number of countries, nearly 100, and there is also a lot of geopolitical analysis and predictions in the book.

But I know you do a lot of quantum calibrations in various areas of life, well beyond politics, international relations and government. For example, personal calibrations, such as levels of consciousness, relationships, neighborhoods, phisical and non-physical items, foods, people, ideas and various talents. You do that for us on Lada Ray Patreon and for your private clients, me being one of them.

For those unfamiliar with Quantum Calibrations, what is it? And are you planning a non-geopolitical Quantum Calibration book, and/or a workshop?

Lada Ray:

What are Quantum Calibrations? I’ll answer with a quote from the free QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS page on LadaRay.com:

LADA RAY QUANTUM & GEO CALIBRATIONS
UNDERSTANDING & QUANTIFYING THE NATURE OF ENERGY & CONSCIOUSNESS

Quantum calibrations open up a new dimension of understanding for ourselves & the world around us. They serve as a multidimensional window into the giant universe, which we can safely open up, to observe and be a part of the fascinating dance of creation. 

   ~ Lada Ray

Calibrations apply to any area of our existence we want to focus on, from geopolitics and our past, present and future, to our foods, locations, aspirations, health, love, money, soul and destiny – and anything in between. That’s why they are such a perfect tool for understanding ourselves, our needs and problems, as well as the world around us.

To learn free Quantum & Geo Calibration (QC & GC) scale, plus some key definitions, and to watch the videos, go to QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS on LadaRay.com. To schedule a private personal consultation or private personal report with Lada Ray go to: CONSULTATIONS.

My plans?

I do plan more books, including a non-geopolitical Quantum Calibration encyclopedia. I also am thinking about the book which will talk about my Earth Shift teaching, its applications in this reality, and my futurist predictions. However, I cannot give you the exact timeline yet. I will write the next book when I receive the divine guidance that the time is right.

I also have long-term plans for online workshops, including on the calibrations topic. However, this is also subject to divine timing and inspiration.

That said, I already have enormous amount of info out that anyone can access easily. Some of the examples: free info pages on LadaRay.com, linked above. Also go to Lada Ray YT channel and watch related videos, complete with visuals. You’ll find all relevant links at the bottom of this interview.

Much more is available in my new book, Geopolitical & Geo-Economic Quantum Calibrations. It has the words ‘geopolitical and geo-economic’ in the title, but the books’s intent is much broader! Large sections are dedicated to the higher-dimensional wisdom, theory and practice of calibrations. Other sections focus on the practical needs of average people, like you and me. What you’ll read will help you determine the best places to live or relocate to; it’ll assist with making major life’s decisions, including your money and investments. If you are a novice, you can learn a lot about my entire quantum calibration system by reading this book! It’s very inexpensive: ebook, which you can instantly download on Amazon, Apple or Kobo, is only $9.99 USD, and paperback, sold everywhere in the world, isn’t much more!

To find the book’s description, reviews and excerpt go to my Author Site!

Buy links are HERE!

And of course, if you want advanced and personalized attention, please join us on Lada Ray Patreon, where we go much deeper and higher! Or order a Private Personal Consultation.

Q2 – 1EarthUnited

I am a huge fan of your predictions and calibrations: they are spectacularly accurate. And I specifically want to point out that you have developed your quantum calibration teaching well beyond classic David Hawkins’ system, which is what makes it so unique and so forward-looking! How do you do it? What goes into such astonishing accuracy?

Lada Ray:

Quantum Calibrations constitute a 6^{th –} 7^th dimensional structure. Therefore, they are very much higher-dimensional in nature. Consequently, to calibrate with accuracy and inspiration, we have to access the higher cosmic truth. This involves claircognizance, clairvoyance and other psychic abilities. This involves the 6^th and 7^th chakras, as well as higher energy vortexes.

However, to ground and manifest calibrations in this reality, we need the participation of the 4^th Heart chakra (aka, the Heart Energy Vortex). In the process of calibrating we must involve what I call the ‘Chi Kinesiology,’ also referred to as a muscle test. So, the Heart Vortex works really hard during calibrating. It has to be in excellent condition for the calibrations to be accurate.

I am contemplating training people how to do it, and possibly having certified students who will become professionals in the field, so more people could benefit from this amazing forward-looking technique. But as I said, it all depends on divine timing. Stay tuned – when it’s time, I’ll announce the workshops and training on LadaRay.com!

The biggest secret of accuracy: your heart has to be in the right place, you have to be highly calibrated, and most importantly, you have to want to help people and our planet.

Q3 – 1EarthUnited

In Geopolitical & Geo-Economic Quantum Calibrations book I was enthralled by the Superpower & Great Power Index. This is a completely revolutionary and such a very cool approach to assessing the power of various countries! Did you create the Superpower Index especially for the book? How and why did it come to you?

Lada Ray:

That’s correct: the Superpower/Great Power Index was created especially for the book. As the book unfolded, the more I calibrated, analysed and predicted for various countries, I began feeling the Superpower/Great Power Index was the next logical step. It was like cherry on top of the cake, or a star on top of a tall tower. It gave the whole book that finishing touch, with a flourish. I highly recommend that everyone who’s interested in the topics of geopolitics, international relations, China, Russia, USA, EU, Germany, India, Iran, Turkey, etc., read the Superpower section of the book! This section alone warrants buying the book as a whole! But there is so much in it, beyond that! I truly think my new book will become a super-useful long-term reference tool for many of my readers, to which you’ll return again and again!

Q4 – 1EarthUnited

You included a number of countries in the Superpower, Great & Regional Power Index. The list of calibrations that went into the assessment of each of them is very impressive. I am especially curious about Superpowers. In this regard, several questions:

How did EU get on this list? Will USA continue being dominant? Or do you see Russia or China overtaking it soon? Do you foresee the Superpower dynamics changing?

Lada Ray:

Overall, we have 4 superpowers, 4 great powers and 7 regional powers on the list. Some of these may surprise you. The calibrations of each are extremely telling! Calibrations generally reveal the truths that some try very hard to hide, therefore, through calibrations you see the genuine picture of each country.

I kow what you’ll say: EU isn’t really one country… However, it is traditionally included in many world indexes. I personally included it for a very specific reason: its energy signature. It does behave like a superpower, albeit dependent and subordinate to the USA. That said, the EU is decoupling from the US as we speak, and I regularly write about it on Patreon.

The main reason EU makes it to the list of superpowers is due to its high economic might, mostly thanks to Germany and other Nordic countries. In terms of sovereignty and military it’s lagging behind. But EU is also slowly awakening and acquiring its own voice. I also calibrated Germany separately. You’ll find it on the list, and pretty high at that. But you may be surprised by the low positions of the UK and France.

*Not related, but interesting: you may be surprised by the positions of Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well!*

The future of the USA? The book’s prediction: it’ll continue slowly waning, although this process will be protracted.

Will China or Russia take over as the No. 1 Superpower? I’ll leave this in suspense – no spoilers! I made extensive predictions in the book on all these countries and it’s best to read the whole thing for the complete picture. However, let me leave you with one key prediction!

FUTURIST PREDICTION: The world’s energy is moving not only away from the US and West, but it’s also becoming more diversified and multi-polar. This effectively means that we are moving away from the 1-2 opposing superpower structure. The power in the future world will be distributed more evenly and more equitably among different parts of the world. This means that no single country will have absolute dominance. Some will be stronger in terms of economy, others in terms of energy, others in terms of defense, yet others in terms of ideas and spirit. The idea is to create a cooperative world, where everyone contributes and exchanges their best talents.

In terms of geopolitics and geo-economics, there is a pool of 15 countries I’ve identified, who will be at the forefront of the brave new multi-polar world. A few more may be joining soon.

Will the dynamics continue changing? Absolutely! It has already changed dramatically since I first wrote my novel, THE EARTH SHIFTER, in 2012.

Since I began my famous blog FuturisTrendcast in 2014, the world changed even more, and most of my original predictions came spectacularly true!

What will continue shifting and changing?

Per my key predictions:

• Russia the Great Balancer will continue slowly rebalancing the world. She will be assisted by several other key players, including China, Turkey, possibly to some degree India, and believe it or not, Germany.
• More countries that previously had no voice, will find it.
• The US will lose part of its power, while others will add to theirs.
• The Great Earth Shift and the transition from 3D into lower 4^th dimension will continue, as human consciousness continues expanding.

Q5 – 1EarthUnited

Going back to US politics, I want to ask you a tough question. There is a battle going on between Trump and the Democrats. There is also a battle within the democratic party, between Biden and Sanders.

Your predictions regarding Trump wining previous elections, as well as Sanders losing to Hillary for the democratic nomination came 100% true. And your predictions regarding Trump being in a “Dark State straitjacket” and not being able to fulfill the majority of his promises came equally true!

My big question is: will you be predicting the next US election outcome? And also, can you use Quantum Calibrations to accurately calibrate both parties and candidates?

Lada Ray:

Yes, I plan to make predictions on the next US elections. But this time, I will do it exclusively for my Patreon supporters. I have worked very hard to awaken and enlighten humanity, and since 2014 I posted nearly 1000 of my original, authentic, one-of-a-kind articles and reports on FuturisTrendcast – all for free. These articles have incorporated insights you won’t find anywhere else, including many of my original predictions. At this time, I feel I have paid my dues in spades.

In the future, my geopolitical, predictive and multi-dimensional insights will only be posted on Patreon. I know, Maddie, you are one of my advanced members. I invite everyone to join, in order to stay in touch with my future offerings.

As to calibrating both parties: not only can I do it, I already have! You can find complete calibrations and interpretations for democratic and republican parties, as well as the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence in my recent Earth Shift Podcast, by clicking on this link: LadaRay YT channel. Or, click to listen directly: QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS Republicans vs Democrats, US Constitution, Declaration of Independence (ESP5)

I’m sure you’ll find my calibration results fascinating!

As to calibrating candidates, I previously calibrated Trump on Patreon and in Webinar 1, as well as ESR16.

In the new book Trump has been calibrated very thoroughly (that’s his latest calibrations) in the USA chapter and the World’s Most Powerful People section. In the future, I plan to calibrate Trump and other key candidates before next elections.

Q6 – 1EarthUnited

China and USA are in a trade war and China is on many people’s minds because of its rising superpower status. In Geopolitical & Geo-Economic Quantum Calibrations, China has its own large chapter, and you discuss it in a number of other sections of the book. Can we give our readers an excerpt from the Superpower Index, so they can see for themselves how you class China?

Lada Ray:

Super idea! This will provide a telling demo as to how my calibrations and the Superpower Index work!

________

Q7 – 1EarthUnited

From that, my follow-up question. Do you see China surpassing the US economically in the near future?

Lada Ray:

In reality, if taken by PPP, not the skewed GDP, China has surpassed the US economically several years ago. The PPP index is infinitely more accurate and honest, as it calculates the country’s gross domestic product based on the parity of purchasing power. GDP does so based on the value of the country’s domestic product in US dollars. Obviously, when currency is severely depressed compared to the US dollar, such as is the case of China, and especially Russia, the GDP will also look depressed. But PPP, in other words, how much a citizen of each country can really afford based on his/her income, puts everything in correct perspective.

Based on PPP, China currently is the world’s No. 1 economy.

Now, if the question is whether China will surpass the USA based on the USD-calculated GDP… Of course it will.

PREDICTION: this will happen when US dollar loses enough value to be more fairly valued compared to other global currencies, including Yuan! And when Yuan gains enough value against the dollar. This will happen gradually, as I have been predicting for years. And this prediction can be found in the book, complete with the timeline.

But there is a deeper prediction here! The structure of the global economy also has to change for that to happen. This new key prediction I’ll soon be discussing with my Patreon members!

The really important questions to which I’m sure many want to know answers are:

What can an average person do to protect him/herself against upcoming devaluation of the US dollar, euro and pound? How will it affect regular people? Will it affect each of us, or not? How can we safeguard our assets?

Q8 – 1EarthUnited

I would love to hear another one of your famous predictions! Can you give our readers a tip: when should we expect the collapse of the dollar?

Lada Ray:

The best thing to do is not to take anything for granted, including the word ‘collapse.’ There is a very good reason I take time to explain this stuff. This is why I recommend reading the book and listening to my webinars in full. My predictions are addressed in the book. Also, we discuss them with my Patreon members under  Special Feature Money & Investment. Most importantly, I want to direct everyone who’s interested in learning to my bestselling Webinar 3: The Future of Money. This is where you’ll get my systemic, step-by-step explanations and well-rounded expert predictions. But to give readers an idea of the direction in which everything’s going…

PREDICTION: Watch the years 2020-2024 for significant shifts in currencies and global economies. This will be the start. By 2029 we will live in a different world, monetarily and economically-speaking. By 2044 the world will be drastically different and the new era would have begun!

Q9 – 1EarthUnited

Speaking of drastic shifts! In the book you’ve talked about various surprises, where countries calibrated lower or higher than the facade they present to the world. I have to say, I wasn’t surprised by the US calibrations. I did expect that!

For me, one of the big surprises were the low calibrations of France. But you did predict this, and we even had discussed this in one of our consultations! As you know, due to my work, I’ve lived in the US, UK, Russia and France. Why does France (the #1 country visited by tourists and considered a cultural capital of the West) calibrate so low?

Lada Ray:

France in its own way is experiencing the Inverted Collapse of the West. This is one of my key 2014 predictions, discussed in the book and highlighted especially in detail in Webinar 2: Inverted Collapse.

Each country experiences the Inverted Collapse differently, depending on where the weak links are. For the UK it’s Brexit, for the US it’s skyrocketing debt, political scandals and open war between democrats and republicans, complete with shifting blame to Russia and attempting regime change and conflicts in various countries. And for the EU as a whole, it’s uncontrolled migration and the rise of nationalism.

In France’s case, we have the funds’ shortage, drastic fall of incomes and Yellow Vests, as manifestations of the national crisis. The protests are a symptom of deeper problems. And my calibrations reveal those hidden problems. This is why quantum calibrations are such a valuable and profound tool!

By the way, Inverted Collapse is my term to define what’s happening in the West during the Great Earth Shift, while Russia the Great Balancer is gradually rebalancing the world.

Q10 – 1EarthUnited

Another big revelation for me were the chapters you wrote about Africa. Truly, overlooked it is, as you correctly pointed out, but there is so much potential there! More predictions please! What does the future hold for Africa?

Lada Ray:

The predictions and calibrations in the book are clear: Africa will get its time under the sun and its bigger say in Period 9. This will begin happening in earnest after 2023-24.

Period 9 is my term for the final 20-year period of the 180-year cycle. All about it in Webinar 4: Lada Ray Global Period 8 Predictions.

Q11 – 1EarthUnited

I have to ask about Russia and relocation, which is one of the focal points of your book! In the book, I was entirely prepared for Russia’s high calibrations. But even I was pleasantly surprised by the end result!

As you know, I am planning on relocating. I had several very illuminating and comforting consultations with you, and among many other things, we discussed my short list of countries with their pros and cons. My friends also told me your book has helped them with relocation decisions. For the benefit of our readers today, could you tell me whether Russia is good for relocating? Most everyone is interested in safety, sovereignty, freedom and economic opportunity. Also, if possible, could you share some of Russia’s calibrations?

Lada Ray:

Russia is very good for relocating. There are a number of high-calibrated large cities in Russia, more than in most world’s countries. The calibration of the country as a whole is also one of the highest. Moscow is the highest calibrated capital in the world. Putin is the highest calibrated leader. And all this is despite sanctions, the drop of the ruble and various turmoils happening around Russia, instigated from abroad.

One of the very popular places to relocate in Russia is the southern tier, located between Black and Caspian Seas. I am talking about Krasnodar Krai and and Stavropol Krai. The capital of Krasnodar Krai, with the same name, Krasnodar, is extremely popular and very nice in its lifestyle, people and foods, as well as high tech job opportunities. The climate is very warm, especially for Russia. Black Sea resorts aren’t far away. Sochi is, by the way, a part of Krasnodar Krai. Both Krasnodar and Stavropol are the Cossack lands. The flourishing of both began in the 2000s, and the growth potential remains enormous.

Crimea is becoming more and more popular. Moscow is always popular. Kazan (on Volga) is also very popular. But there are many others.

Of course, to relocate, you need to understand the laws and at least the basics of language. It’s also advisable to travel around the country. Among many other topics, people come to me for consultations on this. During private sessions we calibrate the cities and towns of your choice, your relocation prospects, and more. I also can advise you on cultural and other aspects, and tell you what I foresee for you.

Russian Volunteers save 1300 dogs and cats from terrible fate in China

Futurist Trendcast

Russian volunteers, with the help of local police, stopped illegal truck carrying 1300 dogs and cats transported in horrific conditions, stuffed 5-10 to a tiny cage, many wounded, bleeding and dying from heat, thirst and hunger. These poor animals were to be killed and eaten at the Yulin dog meat festival. The Russian volunteers had to sneak the saved animals in secret into shelters and animal sanctuaries. These organizations must keep their addresses secret due to attacks by the dog and cat meet traders — a horrific custom still existing in the rural areas of China.

I want to stress that it was an international effort; the Chinese volunteers and Chinese animal shelters were involved.

The good news, many innocent animals have been saved.

I wanted to release this urgent report without delay due to the upcoming 6/23 BREXIT referendum and questions I’ve been asked regarding BREXIT, TTIP and my EU predictions. 

Due to the fast-moving world events, more urgent ESRs may be coming your way this summer. Please stay tuned!

What is really Feng Shui? How do we perceive it from higher consciousness perspective?

Tags

Hello, my name is Lada Ray, M.A., Internationally Certified Feng Shui Master Practitioner, linguist, author and quantum futurist.

My Feng Shui work is based on principles of the classic Compass School of Feng Shui, as taught by the authentic Masters of Hong Kong and China. I was privileged to study with some of these Grand Masters.

Over 15 years ago, when I returned home from Asia, I began practicing Feng Shui internationally, at the same time creatively perfecting and re-inventing the old, well-established techniques for the new millennium.

I have been doing it since, and my practice has become a fusion of the old classics with New Thought and New Consciousness.

It is a well-known and accepted by many fact that the unseen energy affects us in very profound, yet subtle, ways. A specific type of energy is encoded in elements of nature, compass directions, animals, colors and shapes around us. Our home and various corners/rooms in it also carry and vibrate at specific energy patterns, depending on location, surroundings, shape, color, condition, clutter, décor and many other factors.

Moreover, depending on one’s date and year of birth, as well as one’s gender, we come into this world with a specific energy vibration. This vibration corresponds favorably with certain types of energy around us, and tends to clash with others.

While little understood in the West, the ancient Chinese art and science of Feng Shui specializes in observing and working with the currents of unseen but powerful energy around us. Feng Shui interprets and harnesses this energy; its job is to co-create and mold it in a beneficial for humans way, minimizing and protecting against any harmful effects.

If you know how to work with energy of the compass directions, shapes, colors, elements and numbers, you can create a more comfortable and smooth existence for yourself. If you use Feng Shui, you can re-mold problems into non-events, or even shift a problem into the realm of good fortune. Feng Shui takes on the task of co-creating a more successful and auspicious life for you and your loved ones.

Lada’s Methods and Main Schools of Classic Feng Shui

In her work, Lada Ray uses all schools of the classic Compass Feng Shui, plus, esoteric Oriental practices, combined with the latest New Thought methods.

Lada is the author of several new schools and methods of Feng Shui, including Personal Feng Shui, Karmic Feng Shui, Geopolitical/Earth Feng Shui and Chi Kinesiology (forming the foundation of Lada’s Quantum Calibration Method).

Feng Shui is traditionally considered the ‘art of placement’ – a crude and superficial definition that Lada doesn’t recommend.

Lada Ray’s definition of Feng Shui in 5D is:

The harmonization of your inner energy with that of your surrounding environment, taking into account the flow of both seen and unseen energies.

“Good Feng Shui signifies a perfect alignment between inner and outer worlds.” Lada Ray

This means that it’s not sufficient to limit yourself to harmonizing just your home or your business space, although it’s very desirable to do so. We, the contemporary people, are constantly on the go. Some of us move around a lot, and the tendency to be mobile will be intensifying. That’s when it becomes crucial to also harmonize our Personal Feng Shui.

As a result of years of study, observation and experience, Lada Ray’s PERSONAL FENG SHUI EMPOWERMENT & SUCCESS REPORT was born. This report, prepared personally for you, uses several key practices of the Classic Feng Shui and is based on Lada Ray’s Personal Feng Shui School.

My new interview with The Plane Truth is here!

We delve into the fascinating Earth Feng Shui, and specifically, my proprietary school of Geopolitical Feng Shui. I explain how the 2015 Chinese Year of the Wood Sheep works worldwide, and how it compares to the previous 2014 Year of the Wood Horse that just ended. We also talk about the important Water Feng Shui and how the presence of big bodies of water (oceans, rivers) and their pollution by humans influence any city or country’s fortune.

I further reveal what is Chinese Zodiac and how it really works, what is the classic Compass School of feng shui, and how feng shui helps me make my global predictions.

Last, but not least, this show is in big part about predictions. We discuss my predictions concerning the BRICS, EU, Latin America, Eurasia and US, as well as the general Earth Shift timeline.

This interview was recorded in the beginning of February 2015, but published only yesterday due to certain scheduling issues. That’s why you will see me referring to the Year of the Sheep as yet to start. The Chinese Year of the Sheep has started on January 19, 2015 and the auspicious celebrations period is ending today, March 4.

For a week in the city of Guyan, in the south-west of China, local citizens have been feeding a little dog that mysteriously got trapped in a city drain. Despite their attempts, they were unable to free the poor thing. After a week-long ordeal, the dog was finally freed up by a worker who was sent to help.

В городе Гуйян на юго-западе Китая собака застряла под землей в одном из дорожных водостоков. В течение недели жители города кормили ее через решетку и пытались вызволить из ловушки. Однако освободить животное смог только подоспевший на помощь дорожный рабочий.

Prediction: Deal of the Century Between Russia and China – Huge Blow to the US and EU

Reblogged from Futurist Trendcast:

Russia and China signed what is called the “Holy Grail gas deal” worth $400 bln. It guarantees the supply of Russian gas to China for 30 years. The Russia-China pipeline construction alone, associated with this deal, will be the largest construction project in the world. Currently, 70% of China’s energy needs are fulfilled by local coal. As a result, China is suffocating in harmful smog. China wants to move to the cleaner energy and Russian gas is providing this opportunity.

With the largest gas reserves in the world, Russia has plenty of gas to supply to China, as well as the EU. Presently, most of the Russian gas is purchased by the EU to feed its very large economy. However, half of Russia’s gas transit to the EU is being held hostage by the hostile Kiev regime managed directly by the US with EU’s help, and EU/US keep insisting on slapping sanctions against Russia. Because of pressures from the West, Russia has to re-assess its economic and geopolitical priorities. What the Western leaders are realizing too slowly is that Russia is holding all the cards.

I predicted this exact outcome from the very beginning of the Ukraine crisis. The thing is that the myopic “leaders” in the EU and US misjudged Russian leadership. More disturbingly, they seriously overestimated their own value to Russia.

Putin won’t hold on to the past located in the West, if he sees much better future jumping into his hands in the East. The deal with China is all that. As I said before, in the next several years, EU should expect gas supply shortages. Not because Russia will do it maliciously, but because Ukraine will attempt to sabotage EU gas supply by stealing gas going to the EU. As we know, Ukraine didn’t settle its gas bill with Gazprom since the beginning of 2014. To cut off the malignancy that is today’s Kiev authorities, Russia may have to limit or abandon altogether its gas pipeline going through Ukraine, writing it off as unprofitable headache.

Reblogged from FuturisTrendcast:

On multiple previous occasions I have predicted that any sanctions against Russia by the West will only backfire, expediting Russia’s re-orientation to the East and the unavoidable re-molding of the Western financial/economic model.

Russia’s re-orientation and subsequent creation of the independent financial system is what the banksters of Wall Street and London City fear most. This will eventually result in a catastrophe for the US/UK and EU, except for those European countries that succeed in re-orienting their economies to the East. Meanwhile, Russia, China and other countries in the Eurasian space, will benefit tremendously. Read: Ukraine Part 7: Russia’s Geopolitics, USA’s Bluff and EU’s Big Mistake.

The Presidents of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus have officially announced that the transition of the semi-formal Customs Union into the formal economic Eurasian Union will be expedited and completed by 2015. The Eurasian Union will adopt a new currency: Altyn (Rus: Алтын). Vladimir Putin announced that Altyn as the new Eurasian currency was originally planned for 2025, but now, due to the US/EU sanctions against Russia, the transition to Altyn may occur within 3-5 years.

Altyn has a very ancient and long-ranging history. Altyn means gold. The word is of Turkic origin (not to be confused with Turkish). The Turkic family of languages includes languages spoken by the Siberian peoples, Tatars, Mongols, and of course, Kazakhs.

Altyn was the name of the ancient gold coin once used by Russians extensively for trade with Turkic and Arabic neighbors. Later, in medieval times, altyn, or  “altynnik,” became one of the regular Russian coins. In 15th century, altyn equalled six Moscow dengi, or 1/200s of a Moscow ruble. It also equaled three Novgorod dengi, or 1/100s of a Novgorod ruble. Denga was also called “kopeika” (kopeika is presently the 1/100s of a ruble). In the ancient times it was also called the arian “kuna.”

The old Russian proverb was: “Had nothing, and all of a sudden, altyn.” Rus: “Не было ни гроша, да вдруг алтын”. This is an equvalent of English: “From rags to riches.” In those days kopeikas and altyns were big money. And only the rich owned rubles. Of course, back then all currency was real gold, silver and bronze.

In this regard, the original meaning of Altyn, “gold,” is very telling. Through Altyn, Russia/Kazakhstan/Belarus, in short the new Eurasian Union, are sending a signal that they are targeting the gold standard. Along with China also targeting the gold standard through the Yuan, the new Eurasian currency will lead to…

BEST of SOCHI OLYMPICS REVISITED

A WELL-DESERVED CONGRATULATIONS TO THE RUSSIAN ATHLETES ON THEIR HUGE SOCHI OLYMPICS SUCCESS!

13 Gold medals, 33 overall – 1st place! Bravo! Well done!

Let’s belatedly revisit the Sochi Olympics spectacular opening and closing ceremonies, as well as some of the best Olympic moments – in stunning images!

Sochi Olympics were the most expensive Olympics in history at $50-51 bln. In seven years, the old, quaint Soviet resort of Sochi was transformed into a huge modern athletic and tourist center. 11 international athletic venues were built from scratch, most of these so cutting-edge architecturally that they can be disassembled and taken to another city for a different event. So, I won’t be too surprised if one day I see the Sochi Faberge egg Olympic stadium in St Petersburg. 😉

Also, 40,000 new hotel rooms were built, and to top it off, the new port, new rail road station, many new roads and other infrastructure was added, plus a new high-speed railroad connecting Sochi seaside with Krasnaya Polyana, Adler and the mountains where all the mountain-based events took place during the Olympics.

Paul Craig Roberts: U.S. Trying to Push Back a Dollar Blowup

He’s one of the best analysts I know and a very wise man, whose heart is in the right place.

Brilliant analysis of the present state of the US and global economy; US #geopolitical games with #Russia & #China; the real secret reason for the newly signed Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement with the #EU; where the #dollar is headed; #gold and #naturalresources; systemic corruption in the US and EU; the #fracking lie, and more… By the amazing Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Reagan Administration‘s Assistant Treasury Secretary in charge of economic policy, known as the Father of #Reaganomics (I believe he’s repented since ;)). He also is a former editor of The Wall Street Journal.

Auspicious Chinese New Year of the Snake Celebration

Tags

auspicious bamboo, China, Chinese cousine, Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year Celebration, holiday, Laughing Buddha, Moscow, NYC Chinatown, prosperity Chinese coins, Prosperity packets, Tibetan Buddhist ceremony, wealth vase

Chinese New Year of the Water Snake starts on February 10, 2013, at the new moon. As usual, the celebrations last for fifteen days, until the next full moon. Such long celebration period provides many awesome opportunities to welcome the auspicious energy of the year ahead. Chinese New Year Celebration is as different from the Western one as it gets, yet the idea is the same: saying goodbye to the old year and ushering in the new year in style and with good cheer.

A Recipe for a Successful & Auspicious Chinese New Year Celebration:

1. Colors to wear. Traditionally for the Chinese New Year, you should dress in red. Red symbolizes the ultimate color of energy, beauty – and fire. It is the color that energizes everything it touches. Red is especially great for women. Gold jewelry is very good as generally, the New Year colors are red and gold. Men can dress in red, or blue, as blue is the color of water, money and career success.

As this is the Year of the Water Snake, and water colors are blue and black, you can also wear one of these colors to usher in the new energy. If wearing black (I personally adore black), try to accessorize with reds, blues and jewelry, to add more yang energy.

2. Celebrate with a wonderful spread and lots of prosperous foods on the table, even if you have a small family or are alone. Such auspicious table is a symbol and a signal to the Universe that you are ready to start the New Year of success and prosperity.

3. Share the joy of the Holiday with family and friends. Friends at the dinner table bring in the yang energy and happiness.

4. Invite symbols of prosperity into your home. These include money trees, auspicious bamboo, persimmons, mandarins and oranges, and of course, Gods of Wealth and Prosperity. I have lots of various symbols of prosperity in my home.

From my personal collection: Laughing Buddha, one of the beloved gods of prosperity. I adore his happy continence 🙂

My auspicious bamboo

5. Creating a wealth vase is always a great idea. If you already have one, be sure to refresh it for the New Year! Interestingly enough, wealth vases are extremely popular not only in China but also in Tibet, where the Buddhist monks conduct very elaborate ceremonies to consecrate them. Pretty fascinating stuff!

6. Fill the red prosperity envelopes (also called red Chinese packets) with auspicious money and Chinese coins, and keep them in your wallet so you never run out of money.

7. Clean up the house and do all of your laundry in advance to get rid of the old energy and free up the space for the new.

8. The above are all the do’s. Ah, and here is the dreaded don’t! Don’t work on the first day of the Chinese New Year, don’t do any cleaning, repairs, or god forbid, vacuuming or sweeping with the broom on that day, as it’s considered extremely inauspicious – akin to sucking out or sweeping away all your wealth and prosperity. (Note, this rule applies only to the first day of the celebrations.)

But what if I have to work on the first day of the Chinese New Year, you ask? Well, if you have to, you have to. Just do your best, perhaps designating a different day for celebration instead. The NYC Chinatown merchants routinely do just that because all of their customers want to celebrate. Restaurants and shops are full and they have to make money while they can. I know some of the  Chinatown merchants, and they are telling me that they have to work despite the traditional taboo. But luckily for most of us, this Chinese New Year starts on a Sunday! Yay!

Once, a roof repairman showed up at my house just on the first day of the Chinese New Year despite the fact that I specifically warned him not to come on that date. Alas, as it usually happens in such cases, he mixed up the dates. I had to tell him to leave asap and come back some other day. You can imagine the look on his face!

I am currently at my Catskills residence and my family is in NYC. We will be celebrating together in a week or so, when I join them in the City. But I’m still preparing a cozy little celebration of the New Year’s Eve. I baked a VERY HEALTHY cake and prepared auspicious salmon. I also made some of my Dragon Pearl jasmine tea in my Snake Tetsubin teapot (very appropriate for this year!). Yum! I invited a local friend to help me celebrate, while I finish up my business here before heading to NYC. By the way, I’ve taken some iPhone pics of my little Chinese New Year’s spread and I’ll post them on my blog just as soon as I figure out how to upload them. Or, most likely, I’ll wait for my wiz of a husband to do it for me. 😉

Stay tuned, much more coming your way!

Wishing everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year of the Water Snake!

To Blog Or Not To Blog: When a Great Tool Gets Corrupted

Tags

Author Lada Ray, Blog, Blogger, Blogging, China, content, corruption, Facebook, Feedback, followers, Google, Russia, San Diego, Social Media, subscribers, Twitter, WordPress

A few days ago, I visited the blog by my new friend, a San Diego photographer, Russel Ray (no relation).

I was intrigued by one of his posts, entitled: “Is there a WordPress store where one can buy likes and comments?” It sounded kinda funny, yet kinda disturbing. To make a long story short, Russel stumbled upon more than one blog, which were started as recently as one or two months ago and had very few and very lack-luster posts, yet boasted hundreds and hundreds of likes and comments per post and had over a thousand followers.

Here is the link to this very interesting post: http://russelrayphotos2.com/2012/06/04/is-there-a-wordpress-store-where-one-can-buy-likes-and-comments/

If you blog, you would know that oftentimes a really great post generates just a few likes and comments, especially if you are new to the blogging realm. I’ve been blogging since January, 2012 and can personally attest how much hard work goes into creating great content, and how hard earned each and every like and comment is. It takes a while to generate loyal and interested readership. Getting 600 likes and 800 laudatory comments for a tiny, 2 paragraph entry that hardly says anything at all, if you’ve only started blogging 6 weeks ago and have 6 posts all together, seems more than a little incongruent.

The post on Russel’s blog generated tons of comments, in which people were speculating what could have caused such an anomaly. Suggestions included: this individual had another blog and when he transitioned to the new one, he took his readership with him (highly doubtful with that kind of puny content); he has great following on Twitter/Facebook and these followers come to his blog to comment and like; he has great search engine optimization and gets lots of hits from Google.   Interesting suggestions which I’ll analyse and refute below.

Russel mentioned several different blogs and here are the links to two of them:

Now, I want to mention that in the past 6 months I met some wonderful bloggers, who put out a truly awesome content. There is a number of people I could mention here, but suffice it to say, any praise they get is well-deserved.

And then, there are these… I went on both of the above-mentioned blogs and confirmed that indeed Russel was correct: way too many likes, way too little content!

I am usually not the one to complain, lament, or point a finger. I usually look ahead, concentrate on doing my best, and see the silver lining, however slim. But this one hit too close to home. And so, I wrote the following comment:

“Russel, this is a very interesting post and food for thought. I looked at both blogs, and it really is very, very curious.

What someone suggested, that these guys have a huge following on Twitter or Facebook doesn’t hold water. I looked at their stats, and each has 2-3 Twitter/FB mentions per post. Which means that these posts have hardly ever been tweeted/FBied. Which means that Tweeter/Facebook are NOT the driver here at all.

You can trust me on this! I have over 6,600 Twitter followers and if you look at my blog, http://LadaRay.wordpress.com, especially older posts, there are 40-100 tweets each and at least several FB mentions. I get mentioned on Twitter a lot, yet very few of my tweeps have WordPress accounts. Many still use Blogger. And unfortunately, these two blogging platforms don’t talk to each other. So, there goes this idea.

Then, what is behind this situation?
I think it would be useful to compare these two blogs to the Lada Ray Blog.

It is a good comparison, since I started my blog not too long ago, in January, 2012. But I think that’s where the comparison ends. I have written something like 55 posts by now, many very substantial, highly informative posts with tons of really great pics about world cultures and travel, especially Russia and China, 2012 Predictions, feng shui articles, and other unique and great stuff you won’t find anywhere else. As a result, I get tons of search engine viewings. In 6 months I have over 20,000 hits. I noticed that one of the blogs Russel mentioned has something like 22,000 hits with what, 6 short posts?

Every day I get at least hundreds of hits, especially for my posts about Russia and China. Many, as I mentioned, originate from the search engines from all over the world. Someone suggested in a comment that search engine hits may result in likes. This is almost NEVER the case, because people who visit your blog that way are interested in specific info they were searching for. They, most likely, don’t have a WordPress account, therefore can’t just click on like that easily. I think they have to sign in, provide email, possibly answer security question, etc. Very few have time and patience. Even if they really loved your post. I get comments sometimes, often from foreign countries. But these people hardly ever click on likes.

I also have close to 200 subscribers, but still get VERY few likes. Sometimes, I get more comments than likes. It actually saddens me, because I put all that work into my posts. I put them out so people could learn something, experience things they wouldn’t be able to experience otherwise. In return, I’d like to see at least some response and validation. At the same time, I see other blogs, with posts that are puny, oftentimes not even remotely interesting or even nonsensical, and they somehow get tons and tons of likes and comments. I do realize that perhaps these people have been around for a while. But looking at examples Russel provides, this argument flies out the window.

Yes, it is possible that these people had previous blogs with a large base of followers. It is also possible that they bought following. It’s even conceivable that they are somehow famous or notorious in certain circles, but it would not be FB/Twitter for sure. See my explanation above.

What I think though is that these new bloggers are using one trick. They go from blog to blog and subscribe to lots of blogs, as well as flood them with comments. And people reciprocate. Unfortunately, many people who like as return courtesy, don’t even read the posts. But all these hundreds of likes stroke one’s ego and make one look good, even if there is absolutely no content to back it up. Meanwhile, the really great blogs seem deserted, because their authors actually spend time creating content and have no time left to fleet around randomly.

As a result, a potentially great tool, which is supposed to be used as validation and recognition of someone’s efforts to provide great content, is corrupted. Unfortunately, social media can be a blessing and a curse. And often, it is too easy to manipulate it.”

One of these bloggers, named Lagos, actually responded to Russel’s question, defending his blog by saying that it is beautiful, that TO HIM it is the greatest thing since the sliced bread, that he has lots of friends and relatives who support his blog, and also that different people like different blogs.

Here is the link to the exchange between Russel and Lagos: http://russelrayphotos2.com/2012/06/08/extended-hours-at-the-san-diego-zoo-begin-june-22/#comment-3953

I decided to contribute to this conversation:

“Hi Lagos, I read the exchange between you and Russel and I checked out your blog. Unfortunately, I have to agree with everything Russel said. I started my blog in Jan. 2012 and created 55 great, substantial, unique and beautiful posts since then. I have over 6,600 Twitter followers and close to 200 blog followers. My blog is not only informative, but also beautiful, with lots of great pics, history, etc. I also got 20,000 viewings in 6 months. However, since I don’t have time to randomly go around clicking on likes for people I never met and because I don’t have a family who’d like my posts to death, I get 8-12 likes per post. And these are all hard earned likes.

I am inviting you to visit my blog to see for yourself. So, my friend, I am afraid, the verdict is that you are using some kind of trick(s). This is not real, and that’s sad. Very sad.

The question is, what’s the point in putting out great info? Let’s all create this illusion of being popular, instead of actually doing something worthwhile that justifies these likes. Yes, people are different, but they are not stupid.”

The way I see it, we all have a choice: why bother creating content if you can go around clicking on likes and flooding other blogs with comments. Some will reciprocate. This will provide the illusion that one is popular – a great ego-stroking tool! Let’s forget content, let’s forget beauty, humor, information. Let’s be mindless, indifferent, let’s exist in an illusion.

Tempting? Perhaps.

But I chose another road – in blogging and in life. It may take longer, and it may be a lot of hard work. And perhaps, I’ll never get 800 likes and 900 comments per post, or perhaps I will. But I’ll do my best to make each post unique, entertaining, intelligent and beautiful! And I’ll always make it real.

In the end, I know, my reader will find his/her way to my blog. And if each reader takes away a piece of knowledge they didn’t have, an inspiration they needed, or a chuckle that brightens their day, then my work is done!

A note to my readers: And what’s your opinion? I am thinking about bringing this post to the attention of WordPress admin. Don’t get me wrong, it is marvelous that bloggers talk to each other and visit each other’s blogs. But as Maddy @ 1EarthNow blog has pointed out in her comment, “likes” should represent feedback, not a popularity contest like Facebook likes. Blogs should be more meaningful.”

Great point, Maddy! Worpress seems to be taking a somewhat dubious turn with its overemphasis on likes and underemphasis on genuine blogging. As a result, it becomes gimmicky and discourages great content.

How do we strike the right balance between the two? That is the question!

I Received The Versatile Blogger Award (VBA)

I received the Versatile Blogger Award (VBA) from author and blogger, Mike Edwards!

Here is the link to Mike’s post: http://worldadventurers.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/i-received-the-versatile-blogger-award/

According to my esteemed sponsor, Mike Edwards, here is what VBA is all about:

Versatile Blogger Award (VBA)

What is it?

As far as I can tell — details are rather sketchy and only the creator knows for sure — this lofty-sounding award is basically a mutual admiration society where bloggers recognize their peers for writing quality blogs that touched them in some way. The VBAs honor the blogger rather than specific posts. It’s a chance for bloggers to pat themselves on the back like the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does with the Oscars. Until someone starts giving out Blogscars, the VBAs will have to suffice.

What are the criteria?

If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award. I nominated 15 outstanding bloggers below. Congratulations!

Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.

Thank you, Mike! I am truly honored and touched!

Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.

Link to Mike’s blog, World Adventurers: http://worldadventurers.wordpress.com/

Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. (I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)

Congratulations, winners!

Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

My “ACCEPTANCE SPEECH” 

I want to thank the Academy and my distinguished colleagues for nominating me… ahem… ahem… Here, I am supposed to tell you seven things about myself that prove how versatile I am 😉

That’s a tough one… Okay, let’s try:

1. I was born in Moscow, Russia, but since the ripe age of 2 lived and traveled all over the world.

2. My entire family was connected to travel and various modes of transportation, including trains, ships and space ships. Despite that, my preferred way of getting around is plain old walking.

3. The only mode of transportation I never managed to become personal friends with is… the bicycle, despite the fact that my husband is an accomplished cyclist and I love watching Le Tour de France (primarily because of awesome castles).

4. By the age of 38 I managed to have 3 different successful careers on 3 different continents… And then I decided to follow my dreams and started writing. Little did I know what I was getting myself into 😉

5. My life – and writing – is intrinsically connected to 3 largest and most powerful countries on the planet: USA, Russia and China. But I would much prefer to live in the world without power struggles and borders 🙂

6. Despite having had a high powered career and having traveled extensively, or perhaps because of that, my preferred residence is my writing retreat in the quiet Catskill Mountains, NY.

7. After I started writing, I found myself busier than I’ve ever been. And that’s saying a lot coming from a former stock broker. I have big plans for my future books, and writing is always the biggest fun, but I am equally determined to find more time to meditate and be with nature.

Congrats to the new VBA winners, and thanks again to my friend, Mike Edwards!
