What Is Russia Up To???

I don't know what the Russians think I am,...some kind of dangerous anti-Marxist, or what?  I suppose I am an anti-Marxist, but to consider my blog as "dangerous" to anyone, for any reason, seems laughable to me!  Talk about Paranoia!!!

But then I guess perhaps in the sense of ,"the pen is mightier than the sword"..., perhaps they should fear someone writing about them from the comparative safety of a  country which Constitutionally guarantees such First Amendment rights as free speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion! 

But the strange thing is that I don't think I have written anything about Russia, recently.   So why the double-digit  bounce in the number of daily "pageviews" my blog server reports are from Russia, lately???

I can only guess at two reasons...  One,  perhaps my blog is unusually popular with the Russian people, because, as an American I am able to speak the truth without fear of  government persecution, at least so far!  I realize the Constitutional-hating so-called "Progressives" would love to see that changed, so that all Constitutional guarantees would only apply to those who believe as they do!  While I might like the reverse, I recognize that my bias is as Constitutionally restrained as theirs is. 

The other explanation is unfortunately more likely, though just as perplexing:   That the Russian government thinks my blog is so dangerous that they must keep tabs on the "dangerous" things I have to say about them.  That would be somewhat flattering, if true, but why the recent jump in "pageviews", when I have mostly written about the ideological strife between Conservative, and Liberal (or "Progressive")  American politics?  I have trouble believing that either the Russian people, or their government, should be so fascinated by my opinions concerning America's turbulent political system (especially in the Congress).  So why the jump in "pageviews"???  I admit that I have no clue! 

I have tried to alert the F.B.I. in the past, when I noticed strange fluctuations in my readership from Russia.  To date I have heard nothing back from them (they probably have written me off as some crazy paranoiac who is imagining the whole thing), but I have no way of determining if they are likewise keeping track of my blog, since their possible "pageviews" would be indistinguishable from other American "pageviews".  Let's hope they are keeping track, without involving Mr. Mueller's special council investigation!!!
