Google and You Tube in cold war against Russia


Not a good thing. By their vendetta against Russia because of the bullying and propaganda from the gay community and their enablers, both Google and You Tube are frustrating millions of other customers by a flood of the wrong kind of videos and news about the Sochi games... all criticizing Russia.

If you want to find stories of the marvellous opening ceremony (I don't remember anything more spectacular ever and I have never missed the openings or closing ceremonies of the Olympus for at least the last two decades)  please give both Google and YouTube a miss and go to search engines like Yahoo and Bing.  They are not playing politics.

Both Google and YouTube should bear in mind that nobody, NOBODY is too big to fail.  Remember Facebook?  Its popularity is waning now because of Twitter. Trying to please loudmouths because they make the loudest noise does not mean that you hear the other sane and sober people who prefer to remain silent ... however, both Google and You Tube should not mistake the silent masses to be pushovers and remain silent forever. We are watching the dirty tricks of the loudmouths and the dirtier ones from corporations that should not be playing politics.





Nick Miller writing at SydneyMorningHerald:
2014 Sochi Winter Olympics opening:Spectacular. Breathtaking. The XXII Winter Olympic Games are on after opening officially in a sparkling, star-studded show in Sochi. For the next 16 days the world's top athletes will be going for it, competing hard with every sinew and fiber.


Most opening ceremonies feature at least one stuff-up (remember the jammed cauldron in Sydney). In Sochi it was the fifth Olympic ring, which was supposed to join its ring mates after unfurling from a glowing snowflake but instead remained a stubborn asterisk that quite ruined the image.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had a grim look on his face as the snowflake failed to unfurl and hovered next to four open circles.
The 160-odd-minute spectacular featured 3500 fireworks, 3000 performers and took place in the purpose-built, massively expensive Fisht stadium in the coastal Olympic park.
The theme was a history of Russia, from the days of Greek legend, through the industrial revolution – not to mention the actual revolution.

Russia’s celebrated composers were celebrated, there was marching and much dancing by Bolshoi superstars including (naturally) a bit of Swan Lake performed by glowing jellyfish, and there were several hallucinogenic sequences featuring huge inflatable and mechanical devices, most of which worked properly, and some of which weren’t unintentionally terrifying.
Both the symbolism and the inflatable teapots were, for the most part, as impressive as they were impenetrable.

In the grand finale, five torch-bearers beginning with Maria Sharapova passed the Olympic flame around the stadium. They included rhythmic gymnastics champion Alina Kabaeva, widely rumoured to be dating Vladimir Putin, though neither have confirmed the relationship.

The final cauldron was lit by figure skater Irina Rodnina and ice hockey player Vladislav Tretyak.
Mid-ceremony, chair of the Sochi Games Dmitry Chernyshenko said the event would inspire a generation, and show the world the best his country was proud of – its hospitality and traditions.

IOC president Thomas Bach said it had been a "remarkable achievement" for Russia to build a new Olympic resort in just seven years, which “took decades in other parts of the world”..........
