There are 14 different calendars in use right now worldwide, so which day is the seventh day. Your seventh day might be someone's first day and so forth and so on. God never mentioned the name of any day in the holy bible, so if Wednesday is your seventh day so be it. But you must have a Sabbath day to rest. Christians choose the first day of the week because our LORD Jesus Christ rose on that day.

Foreign Affairs / How The IMF Really Works by legacysystems2(f): 12:25pm On Jun 30, 2015
By Brother Nathanael Kapner
Copyright 2015

It sounds like bad business.

The IMF just announced that if Ukraine defaults on its debts to creditors, it will still loan it money.

Would you loan money to a deadbeat?

That’s how the IMF works. It loans billions to countries who it knows can’t pay back.

It’s a Jewish scam to ‘foreclose’ on a country’s assets.

You see, the IMF’s major shareholder is the US Treasury with sole veto rights.

Current and former heads of the Treasury—Jacob Lew, Larry Summers, and Robert Rubin—are all Goldman Sachs boys.

Sounds like a guest list to a Bar Mitzvah, doesn’t it?

Goys too….Paulson and Geithner…both shills for the Bar Mitzvah bunch at Goldman Sachs. Lagarde is just Gentile window dressing.

Connect the dots.

The US Treasury that runs the IMF is bankrolled AT INTEREST by the Fed, a consortium of Jewish banks orbited around the Rothschild dynasty.

The IMF is a Jewish bankster operation whose loans are not to boost a country’s economy but to pay off creditors it already owes, many of whom are part of the kleptocracy.

Yats says so himself.

[Clip: “You are well aware that the government launched a four year EFF program with the IMF, together with the IMF. We expect to get up to 25 billion dollars in the forthcoming four years, but the gap is much bigger. Much bigger. As you are well aware, this money goes directly to our creditors.”]

And with a One-Two punch the IMF is screwing Ukraine.

Punch One is to shrink the economy via “austerity.”

This is done by IMF ‘conditionalities’ which demands raising taxes and cutting government benefits.

And Yats takes the bait.

[Clip: “Despite the fact that the government has frozen all social expenditures, we shut down the number of entitlement programs, we did everything we can to fix the budget gap. We still need an enormous–an additional enormous amount of financial support.”]

It’s a bottomless pit.

Cutting government programs and raising taxes only widens the budget deficit by reducing the purchasing power of the citizens.

With no buyers, the GDP shrivels up.

And with Ukraine ditching its lucrative Russian market, and with Europe spurning Ukrainian-made goods, Ukraine is now a failed state. The IMF likes it like that.

Now comes Punch Two.

With compound interest climbing and the debt unserviceable, the IMF demands that Ukraine sell off its assets to cool the creditors.

Even with privatization the debt will never be paid off and Ukraine becomes an eternal vassal to Jewish banksters.

And with Yats and US Commerce Secretary Penney Pritzker now planning a Ukrainian fire sale, the IMF and its client, Monsanto, are licking their chops over Ukraine’s farmland too.

Not for nothing did they install Saakashvili as the new governor of Odessa, a vital part of Ukraine’s breadbasket and maritime shipping.

He just admitted that things were much better under Yanukovich, who Nudelman of the US State Department toppled.

[Clip: “Now Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe. If the collapse of the economy suddenly stops and Ukraine develops by four percent annually, we will reach the level of 2013 in 20 years. Only in 20 years will we return to the figures of Yanukovych’s Ukraine.”]

Ain’t gonna happen. Once the IMF fleeces the assets, “Yanukovych’s Ukraine” will be a Jewish-owned state.

And that’s how the IMF works.

My dear Ukrainians, you can kiss your country goodbye!

Foreign Affairs / Russia Developing System Capable Of ‘switching Off’ Foreign Military Satellites by legacysystems2(f): 5:49pm On Jun 25, 2015
Russia
June 25, 11:21 UTC+3
"The system will be used against cruise missiles and will suppress satellite-based radio location systems. It will actually switch off enemy weapons", Russia’s KRET Deputy CEO said




MOSCOW, June 25. /TASS/. Russia’s Radio-Electronic Technologies Group (KRET) is developing a fundamentally new electronic warfare system capable of suppressing cruise missile and other high-precision weaponry guidance systems and satellite radio-electronic equipment, KRET Deputy CEO Yuri Mayevsky told TASS on Thursday.

"The system will target the enemy’s deck-based, tactical, long-range and strategic aircraft, electronic means and suppress foreign military satellites’ radio-electronic equipment," Mayevsky said.

The system will be mounted on ground-based, air-and seaborne carriers, he added.

"It will not be based on satellites as this is prohibited by international rules and we comply with this rule," he said.


Russia to have 9 new military satellites by 2020
http://tass.ru/en/russia/755238

Adviser to the KRET first deputy CEO Vladimir Mikheyev told TASS the integrated multifunctional electronic warfare system designed to target enemy aerospace vehicles would operate within the air defense and missile shield control contour.

"It will fully suppress communications, navigation and target location and the use of high-precision weapons," Mikheyev said.

"The system will be used against cruise missiles and will suppress satellite-based radio location systems. It will actually switch off enemy weapons."

The system’s ground component will be tested soon, hec said. "Ground tests are now going on in workshops. At the end of the year, the system’s component will leave the factory gates for trials at testing ranges," he said.

Editorial note: We are told the story is a month old. If any of this is true, then this is a huge issue, not just the lack of follow up but the lack of follow up itself.

For those of you who have never heard of a magrav, and that includes the scientific community, an Iranian scientist with very unconventional views, is being credited with supplying the technology that did what some day could not be done. We interviewed him about this assertion. Adamus had met with Keshe and the head of our energy program, Jim Hanke along with Mike Harris, has been investigating. I talk with the guy, he is not unreasonable but then again, I am a simple blogger and not a rocket scientist although I do employ rocket scientists or, more appropriately, work “with” them.

There is much more we can write here but suffice it to say that Keshe and his wife were poisoned. Seemingly he has the technology to overcome even that. We do know governments have banned him but are also secretly examining everything he works on. Some of the defense implications projects he has made “open source” were perhaps unseen by him, not by me.g

Russian Sukhoi Su -24 with the newest jamming complex paralyzed in the Black Sea the most modern American combat management system “Aegis” installed on the destroyer “USS Donald Cook”. Pavel Zolotarev, Deputy Director, Institute of USA and Canada, shares details about this version which is being actively discussed in the Russian media and by bloggers.

US destroyer “Donald Cook” with cruise missiles “Tomahawk” entered the neutral waters of the Black Sea on April 10. The purpose was a demonstration of force and intimidation in connection with the position of Russia in Ukraine and Crimea. The appearance of American warships in these waters is in contradiction of the Montreux Convention about the nature and duration of stay in the Black Sea by the military ships of countries not washed by this sea.

In response, Russia sent an unarmed bomber Su- 24 to fly around the U.S. destroyer. However, experts say that this plane was equipped with the latest Russian electronic warfare complex. According to this version, “Aegis” spotted from afar the approaching aircraft, and sounded alarm. Everything went normally, American radars calculated the speed of the approaching target. And suddenly all the screens went blank. “Aegis” was not working any more, and the rockets could not get target information. Meanwhile, Su-24 flew over the deck of the destroyer, did battle turn and simulated missile attack on the target. Then it turned and repeated the maneuver. And did so 12 times.

Apparently, all efforts to revive the “Aegis” and provide target information for the defence failed. Russia’s reaction to military pressure from the United States was profoundly calm, feels the Russian political scientist Pavel Zolotarev:

The demonstration was original enough. A bomber without any weapons, but having onboard equipment for jamming enemy radar, worked against a destroyer equipped with “Aegis”, the most modern system of air and missile defence. But this system of mobile location, in this case the ship, has a significant drawback. That is, the target tracking capabilities. They work well when there is a number of these ships which can coordinate with each other somehow. In this case there was just one destroyer. And, apparently, the algorithm of the radar in the “Aegis” system on the destroyer did not load under the influence of jamming by the Su-24. It was therefore not only a nervous reaction to the fact of flying around by the Russin bomber which was common practice during the Cold War. The reaction of the Americans was due to the fact that most modern system, especially its informative or radar part, did not work adequately. Therefore, there was such a nervous reaction to the whole episode.

After the incident, the foreign media reported that “Donald Cook” was rushed into a port in Romania. There all the 27 members of the crew filed a letter of resignation. It seems that all 27 people have written that they are not going to risk their lives. This is indirectly confirmed by the Pentagon statement according to which the action demoralized the crew of the American ship.

What are the possible consequences of the incident provoked by the U.S. in the Black Sea? Pavel Zolotarev forecasts:

I think that Americans are somehow going to reflect on improving the system “Aegis”. This is a purely military aspect. In political terms, there is hardly any likelihood of demonstrative steps by either side. That is enough. Meanwhile, for Americans it is a very unpleasant moment. In general, the missile defence system which they deploy involves huge expenditures. They have to prove each time that it is necessary to allocate funds from the budget. At the same time, the ground component of the ABM was tested in ideal conditions and showed a low efficiency. This fact is concealed by the Pentagon. The most modern component, the sea-based system “Aegis” also showed its shortcomings in the present case.

The system with which the Russian Su-24 shocked the American destroyer “Donald Cook” has the code name “Khibiny”. This is the name of the mountain range on the Kola Peninsula in the Arctic Circle. “Khibiny” is the newest complex for radioelectronic jamming of the enemy. They will be installed on all the advanced Russian planes .

Recently the complex has undergone regular testing exercises on the ground in Buryatia. Apparently, the tests which were conducted under conditions as close to real as possible, were successful.
Foreign Affairs / Putin's Presidential Plane Stops In Siberian To Pick Up A Widow by legacysystems2(f): 5:35pm On Jan 01, 2014
On Tuesday afternoon, Putin paid a surprise visit to Khabarovsk, a far-eastern city hit by devastating floods in late August and early September.

“The president decided to be with those who endured this unprecedented natural disaster".

He said he would like to make a toast “for the people as well as for the health of those impacted by the flooding.”

Putin attended a New Year’s reception for rescuers and people who lost their houses in the floods, an event hosted by his envoy to the Far East region, Yury Trutnev.

Ahead of the celebration, Putin visited a temporary shelter for Khabarovsk residents rendered homeless by the disaster.

On his way to Khabarovsk, the president’s plane made a stop in the Siberian city of Chita to take on board the widow of the only person known to have died in the floods.

That person, Bair Banzaraktsaev, was a military man who took part in the rescue effort. He was driving a truck along a partially inundated highway linking Khabarovsk and another far-eastern city, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, when damp soil gave way under the heavy vehicle. He drowned while trying to prevent his truck from sliding into the water.
Politics / The Illuminati And The New World Order by legacysystems2(f): 1:13pm On Jan 01, 2014
The world is governed by far different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
– Benjamin Disraeli, nineteenth century British prime minister, in a speech to Parliament

On 1 May 1776, the year of the beginning of the American revolution against British colonial rule, a young university professor, Adam Weishaupt (1748–1830), from Bavaria, founded the Order of Perfectibilists, later to become world famous as the Illuminati or ‘Enlightened Ones’.

Weishaupt’s family had Jewish ancestry, but he was brought up in the Roman Catholic faith and educated by the Jesuits. His father died when he was seven and he was fostered by his godfather, a German aristocrat called Baron Ickstett. Although schooled by priests from the Society of Jesus, the young boy spent hours in his godfather’s extensive library reading learned works on philosophy and science. As an undergraduate at university, Weishaupt studied the ancient Greek Eleusian Mysteries and the mystical doctrines of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras. Even at this young age he was thinking about forming a secret society based on the pagan mystery schools. He later wrote:

At a time, however, when there was no end of making game of and abusing secret societies, I planned to make use of this human foible for a real and worthy goal, for the benefit of people. I wished to do what the heads of the ecclesiastical and secular authorities ought to have done by virtue of their offices.

Adam Weishaupt became a lay professor in canon law at the Jesuit-run University of Ingoldstat near Munich while still a young man. His sudden rise to prominence in the university and his radical views caused consternation among the Jesuit priests. This led him to become involved in many bitter disputes with them about matters pertaining to religion.

Politics / Re: Who Really Controls Our Democracy by legacysystems2(f): 10:34am On Jan 01, 2014
Who Really Controls the World?

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organised, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
– Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States (1856-1924)

So you see, my dear Coningsby, that the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
– Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister (1804-1881)

The advent of the industrial revolution, the invention of a banking system based on usury, and scientific and technological advancements during the past three centuries have had three major consequences. These have made the incredible concentration of wealth in a few hands possible, have led to the construction of increasingly deadly weapons culminating in weapons of mass destruction, and have made it possible to mould the minds of vast populations by application of scientific techniques through the media and control of the educational system.

The wealthiest families on planet earth call the shots in every major upheaval that they cause. Their sphere of activity extends over the entire globe, and even beyond, their ambition and greed for wealth and power knows no bounds, and for them, most of mankind is garbage – “human garbage.” It is also their target to depopulate the globe and maintain a much lower population compared to what we have now.

It was Baron Nathan Mayer de Rothschild (1840-1915) who once said: “I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the British Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.”

Politics / Who Really Controls Our Democracy by legacysystems2(f): 9:48am On Jan 01, 2014
Democracy, Deception, Deceit - They're All The Same

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance."

'It is thus, by discrete action, we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."

- Montagu Norman, Governor of The Bank of England 1924

"...The man who controls British money supply controls the British Empire and I control the money supply"

- Nathan Rothschild

Democracy is a fantastic vehicle for the peddling of slogans - democracy, freedom, liberty. Yet the truth is, democracy is the antithesis of these very words! Those who believe that they are free under democracy are the most deluded of all; the people that the NWO love and groom.

Why do you think the NWO is so determine to "spread democracy" around the world - so much so that they will even bomb you into accepting it? Because no other system of governance provides the opportunity for control and deception as democracy! For a start, democracy is bought - the biggest budget wins;

You think that you have a vote for the person of your choice, that somehow, your vote will "count" and you have had a say in a democratic process in which you have the utmost faith. You get to vote for whom the party has nominated, did you get to vote on that? So what you get to do, is to vote for someone that has been already picked for you. That's hardly a democratic choice! A party, in secret, rewards some party member for loyalty to the cause, for contribution to the party and whom the party thinks have most chance of being marketed to the public. You may believe that the guy next door would be the best candidate, maybe a guy at your work would in your opinion make a great leader of your country; is there any chance at all of him being selected? The parties groom those whom they think will fit their controller's wishes. [I'll show later how this control works].

How many times have you seen a person elected into office on all manner of promises, only breaking those promises immediately after coming to power? In your democratic process, what power/authority do you have to enforce his compliance to promises made?

David Lange, Methodist Minister and Labour Prime Minister of New Zealand wrote in his memoirs "when I was going to Parliament, I was going to change the world; when I got there I found I could change nothing". The truth is, we actually cannot control or affect any major issues affecting our country because the power behind the government is already in place and is there not by election but by deception. The unseen power, granted authority by deception and who by manipulation, deceive us into believing that we are in control of our government.

So the truth is, you are actually owned by the banksters - you are a chattel, a trust Bond which is of value because of your earning capacity and so, can be and are traded. [You thought slavery was abolished!].

But it gets worse, the Government is simply a business - a corporation and the head office is in the IMF! Your Prime Ministers and Presidents will do exactly what Head Office tells them to do and nothing you can say will stop that. This IS the truth about democracy.

Health / Aging Reversal Coming Soon by legacysystems2(f): 12:49am On Dec 21, 2013
Mice have become the first creatures to experience the ‘Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ for real, as Australian and American scientists have managed to literally reverse their aging process. And they say humans could be next in line.

The discovery is centered on a compound that is like a youth elixir, targeting and reversing muscle aging, building up muscle tone and reducing inflammation and giving mice more energy – as if they have been working out in the gym. Likewise, resistance to insulin was targeted, adding diabetes to an already impressive list of age-related diseases that could soon be fought, like neurodegenerative conditions and cancers.

The resulting research was published in the journal Cell on December 20.

"I've been studying aging at the molecular level now for nearly 20 years and I didn't think I'd see a day when aging could be reversed. I thought we'd be lucky to slow it down a little bit," said Professor David Sinclair, of the University of New South Wales. He was the leader of the study, working from Harvard Medical School in the United States.

The research was tested on 6-month-old and 22-monthold old mice, comparing first how aging occurred in general, then testing the new compound on the older mice to see if the “youth potion” worked.

An explanation as to how and why aging occurs can be seen in the levels of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in the nucleus and in the mitochondria, which begin to differ with age. These levels encode genetic information around a cell.

The mitochondria are where all the hard work takes place. All mammals create energy in the way that small molecules are created when larger ones break down, and energy is released. Skeletal muscle respiration is the result of this, and its swift functioning is key to age reversal, researchers explain.

"We have chromosomes that we all know about, we call it our genome, but there's other DNA that we often don't think about - the mitochondrial DNA that we get from our mothers… what we found is that during aging these two genomes, the chromosomes, don't talk to each other,” Sinclair said, comparing the two to an aging married couple.

Although a lot of the information is carried by the mitochondria, some functions responsible for muscular respiration are encoded in information stored in the nucleus. Therefore, a balanced and coordinated functioning of both is essential, as with age it begins to fail, like a telephone call interrupted by static.

The levels of mRNA in the mitochondria declined in the older ones. And the same was noticed for proteins called SIRT-1 and another one produced by the nucleus, whose levels are connected with a higher lifespan.

The healthy coordination between the nucleus and the mitochondria were found to lie directly in the amount of those proteins – especially SIRT-1: the higher the levels, the slower the aging.

However, a bigger problem was found to lay in the so-called NAD+ molecule, its levels in the nucleus. But scientists could not account for how exactly it kept SIRT-1 levels up. Its own levels simply dwindled with age.

"When we're young, we have the high levels of NAD and if we exercise and diet, the levels of this NAD molecule are high in our body… but as we get older, and as these mice in our experiments got older, the levels went down about 50 per cent and then we could give this drug to bring the levels back up again."

To try and cheat mice organisms into producing more SIRT-1, the scientists injected the 22-month old mice with nicotinamide mono nucleotide (NMN) – a molecule directly responsible for the levels of NAD, which conversely is known to lead to an increase in SIRT-1.

The experiment worked.

Professor Sinclair was astonished, telling Cell that “the mice had more energy, their muscles were as though they'd be exercising and it was able to mimic the benefits of diet and exercise just within a week.”

As a result, human trials appear not to be far off. "We think that should be able to keep people healthier for longer and keep them from getting diseases of aging," Sinclair continued, adding that the diseases we have come to expect of old age have been drastically reversed in mice: muscle atrophy dropped, and so did inflammations – which lead to arthritis. And the most important muscle in the body – the heart – simply reversed in age as a result.

All this happened in just one week.

And the startling results have scientists seriously considering human trials within the next year, as Sinclair himself confirms that they would like to make the compound available commercially soon.

Of course without rigorous testing on humans, this is not yet a possibility, but the professor has set up a company dedicated to just that. It is no easy task, as the costs are projected to be in the millions. But so far, money is the only challenge, so we may as well start to get ready to live longer, given what we have just learned.

Celebrities / Warren Buffett's Made $37 Million Each Day In 2013 by legacysystems2(f): 3:34pm On Dec 20, 2013

US investor Warren Buffett tops the list of the biggest 2013 earners, having added $12.7 billion to his wealth, according to a report by the international analyst Wealth-X.

The 83-year-old head of the Berkshire Hathaway investment vehicle earned $12.7 billion in the year. In January the wealth of the businessman, nicknamed the “Oracle of Omaha” for his phenomenal market intuition and faultless economic forecasts, was estimated at $46.4 billion and by December it had grown to $59.1 billion. Buffett's fortune increased by about $37 million daily.

However, Buffet is still not the richest man in the world, that's the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates, whose personal wealth is estimated at $72.6 billion. His wealth only increased by $11.5 billion in 2013.

American gambling tycoon Sheldon Adelson made $11.4 billion and rounds out the top three earners.

Jeff Bezos, the founder and the chief executive of the largest world online retailer Amazon comes next with $11.3 billion, followed by the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg with $10.5 billion. Founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page have split the seventh and the eighth places with $9.3 billion equally.

Besides Americans the list covers the president of one of the largest Japanese mobile network operators – Softbank, Masayoshi Son and one of the richest people of China, the gambling tycoon, Lui Chee Woo. They earned $10.3 billion and $8.3 billion respectively, having appeared at the sixth and ninth positions in the rating. The list of the most successful businessmen of 2013 is rounded out by Carl Icahn, the US investor, who has increased his wealth by $7.2 billion.

The world now has 2,170 billionaires, whose cumulative capital amounts to $6.5 trillion.

Phones / Re: Russian Tech Company Launches A New Smartphone With Two Screens. by legacysystems2(f): 12:15am On Dec 10, 2013
MOSCOW — Russia’s first smartphone – a quirky, dual-screen device with a traditional LCD-color display on one side and an electronic-paper display similar to the Amazon Kindle on the other – began selling in Russia and several other European countries on Wednesday.
Enlarge This Image

The Yotaphone, developed by a Russian start-up, Yota Devices.

The Yotaphone, developed by a Russian tech start-up, Yota Devices, will be sold for about $675 in Europe and for $600 in Russia, slightly cheaper than top competitors like the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4.

The Russian phone, which uses an Android operating system, is an attempt by a European company to jump into the handset market, largely dominated by American and Asian manufacturers. Nokia, the largest cellphone maker in Europe, is in the final stages of selling that business to Microsoft for $7.2 billion. Jolla, a smaller Finnish start-up founded by former Nokia engineers, has only recently started selling its own handset aimed at a global audience.

At a kick-off event at the popular Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in downtown Moscow, the chief executive of Yota Devices, Vladislav Martynov, said the introduction of dual screens was “a revolution in telephone architecture” and would conserve battery life.

Mr. Martynov said that the electronic-ink display on the back of the Yotaphone would show information, including feeds from Facebook and Twitter, even when the phone is not in use. “Before Yotaphone, this space was useless,” he said.

While Russian Internet companies like the Yandex search engine are popular in Russia and software companies like Kaspersky Lab, an antivirus developer, have found international success, there have been no breakout leaders among Russian consumer technology producers, a sector where the country has traditionally lagged.

Interest in smartphones is growing in Russia, as it is in other developing countries, with two of every five phones sold in the second quarter being a smartphone, the research firm IDC said in a report last month.

The idea of the Russian-made smartphone began to take shape in 2010 when Sergei Chemezov, the head of Rostekhnologii, a government company that produces and exports high-tech equipment, showed Dmitri A. Medvedev, who was president at the time and is now prime minister, an early mock-up of the dual-screen phone.

Mr. Medvedev, a fan of Apple products who has positioned himself as a champion of innovation in Russia’s tech sector, said then that the dual-screen phone could be a key project for the industry.

Yota, which is best known for developing 4G networks and providing wireless communication services in Russia, took on the project when its parent company was partly owned by Rostekhnologii. Yota Devices, which was spun off from Yota in 2011, is privately owned.

The Russian private investment fund Wooden Fish owns a majority stake in Yota Devices, with the remaining shares in the company held by a managers’ fund, which includes Mr. Martynov, Mr. Martynov said. He declined to comment on the ownership of Wooden Fish, and said that the company’s beneficiaries have not made their names public.

The Yotaphone made a strong showing in January at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where it won a CNET Best of CES Award for “Hottest Mobile Device.”

Mr. Martynov declined to say how many units were in production but said more than 10,000 orders for the phone had been placed in advance of the launching. It is being produced in Singapore, Taiwan and China, but Mr. Martynov hinted that elements of production may take place in Russia in the future.

Besides Russia, the device is being sold in Austria, France, Germany and Spain. It will go on sale in Britain in January. There are no plans to sell it in the United States.

The phone has a 4.3-inch 1280 HD display, slightly larger than the iPhone 5 but smaller than the top-selling Galaxy S4, which has a 5-inch screen.

“I’m sure the people whom we call the trendsetters will absolutely love the idea,” said Michael Tuch, chief executive of Svyaznoy, a mobile retailer that has a contract to sell the Yotaphone in Russia. “The first device is a good way of showing something new. What we’re looking for are actually the next devices, which I’m sure Yota has in their pockets.”

MOSCOW — Russia’s first smartphone – a quirky, dual-screen device with a traditional LCD-color display on one side and an electronic-paper display similar to the Amazon Kindle on the other – began selling in Russia and several other European countries on Wednesday.

The Yotaphone, developed by a Russian start-up, Yota Devices.

The Yotaphone, developed by a Russian tech start-up, Yota Devices, will be sold for about $675 in Europe and for $600 in Russia, slightly cheaper than top competitors like the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4.

The Russian phone, which uses an Android operating system, is an attempt by a European company to jump into the handset market, largely dominated by American and Asian manufacturers. Nokia, the largest cellphone maker in Europe, is in the final stages of selling that business to Microsoft for $7.2 billion. Jolla, a smaller Finnish start-up founded by former Nokia engineers, has only recently started selling its own handset aimed at a global audience.

An evil and adulterous generation, vipers and hypocrites, even if the pastors do not expose this rot, remember there is nothing that is hidden that would not be revealed.
