    My apologies to the members who had dialogues interviews scheduled with me this week, but the weather will be bad for the next three days, and I don’t want to chance severe weather nor have our recordings be bad because of Shiloh’s anxiety even during a rain shower. Anyway, that brings me to the subject of this video. In between rain systems and thunder tonight, I was (unusually) surfing videos and I found this walking tour of Moscow in 2019. I didn’t watch all of it but skipped around some, but I’m wondering if people are seeing and noticing the same things I’m noticing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi_3WwCvzo8

    • Looks strangely calm, orderly and laid back……and the Sky looks remarkably clear…

        • I’ve been watching live YT feeds from Times Square NYC and Nevsky Square in Saint Petersburg. The brain washing of the people weighs HEAVY on one side. Take a look and tell me which feed reminds you of CCP mask mandate horror film.

            • Agree. The Nevsky Square site in St. Petersburg is one of my windows to the world. I have even learned a few musical chops from the street musician who usually plays from about midnight to 3:00 am (their time), weather permitting. Love watching horses share the wide sidewalk (their is a stable nearby, probably a block or so away) and the revelers outside the pub on certain nights. Face M’s – about 3 to 5 percent. Love the weekend crowds – well dressed and mannered. Lots of Uber cars. 99% positive re: courtesy/manners… On fight (bike vs. car, with the car driver being aggressive) and one police take-down (not excessive). Compared to where I live… Well, there is no comparison. Different league altogether (depressing is the word…). Have discerned a lot (of patterns) over time. Anyhoo– my 2 cents.

          • no homeless tents or garbage…no masks (before Covid?), no graffiti, anything else? What things do you see?

            • Didn’t see much human interaction, except with their cell phone. Seemed rather joyless, and the herd, mostly single individuals, few couples or more of any combination who seemed on a mission to an unknown destination. Monochromatic and dull colors. Evidently a nice day to walk, few people using public transport.

                • We must be watching different cams. See lots of interactions, people giving directions, chatting, partying, especially late at night – families, strollers, ice cream cones – 11pm their time – dancing on the sidewalk outside a pub (street level view) – horses being walked/exercised stopping to be petted by outside dancing pub patrons… this is all real time, having observed intermittently over a period of months. I recognize some of the regulars (delivery people, etc.). All in all life not evident in the capital city of Utah, or anything else in the USA most distant views of buildings, far away, nothing street level except Bourbon St. in New Orleans and Times Square. Otherwise beach scenes, empty malls, from a distance, NOTHING street level downtown LA or any major city except parts of NY. Anyhow, another 3.5 cents worth. Oh I forgot, Castro St. in San Francis o… otherwise distant shots of buildings & skylines. (Beginning to sound like an amateur sociologist.)

                • The camerman has an eye for good-looking women. Oh, and there are no screaming sirens…

                  • Map of the City is everywhere, large at first with people standing around each one; later, smaller ones with no one standing near. It is a walking tour. Most people have the same cadence walking. Noticed no chem trails. Some strange noise in background at times, but may just be Russian announcement; no pattern to the noise but was deep bass-like.

                      • One more thing, if this scene were seen from above, would the people be going in circles like the sheep & all in prior posts?

                      • a pre-pandemic sans souci stroll through clean uncrowded streets.

                        • I see similar things as most people but granted, I skipped around about probably watched,at best, maybe ten minutes all told; but yes, a more or less nicely dressed population, moving about with purpose, clean streets, most cars are modern, no vandalism as far as I can tell, pretty old buildings that have been well-maintained. I’m sure a city as big as Moscow has those things, but nonetheless, it impressed me.

                          • cannot figure out how it was filmed. seems the filter should have run into objects from time to time
