@wander_investor Stay safe!

Crazy stuff.
You should visit Russia - very safe and delightful country 😎

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

@RealCandaceO Customs 🙄

If they knew the kitten was from Russia - that would likely "sanction" it 😅

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

St. Petersburg is an amazing city to visit and live in 🤩

So beautiful, so much culture - it does the human mind good to be surrounded by this beauty. 😇

[TheRussiaBlog 🇷🇺 @TheRussiaBlog]

A St. Petersburg boat tour is a must.

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

@JucheAffirmer Yes 💪

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

This is why we always tell - don´t believe the narrative you hear in the Western media.

Travel to Russia and see for yourself 😎

After you do - you would want to https://t.co/XC0Wnm3aU2 👍

Below is St Petersburg in the summer - they also call this 4th largest city in Europe - the Venice of the North.😻

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

My take away from Russia? Literally everything is fake and gay. They are lying about everything at every hour of every single day. The overreaction to me merely traveling to Moscow is precisely because they know I am NOT funded by ANY foreign nation or state, nor am I inherently capable of being controlled. I’ve been investigated by everyone from the literal President of France, (who admitted to hiring former Feds to look into my potential foreign ties)— to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign affairs laying out a plan in their FARA docs to smear me as a part of their propaganda to win back support for Israel. They have nothing on me other than “urrr durrr she’s demonic!” plus repeat demands to “sue her!” for refusing to bend the knee to their satanic agenda.
I’m telling the truth about Russia bc I am genuinely shocked by how absolutely upside down the narrative about it is beyond obvious to me now which way the economic wind is blowing.

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

Yep - the economic winds are blowing East - this is why people from the West https://t.co/XC0Wnm3aU2 😎

Russia:
- Focus on the future - children education and well being.
- Banned all GMO food - health is important.
- Self sufficient in Energy - that is cheap
- Self sufficient in Food - that is cheap
- Banned all "Rainbow" propaganda
- Largest country in the world - lots of beautiful land, rivers, lakes.

Russia is the "Noahs Arc" of Christianity - we look forward to all the good, sane people moving here, with their families - to find a good future.

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

Yes, Russia is truly and amazing place.

If people in US knew, that you can live "that well" as a most sanctioned country in the world - they would revolt.

Thus, Westerns people are being kept in a bubble of lies of the real state of the world - this is why everyone in the Western media and Blogosphere are in full MeltDown mode when you "blow up" the illusion by visiting Russia and just telling what you see.

Bottom line - people Move to Russia - we are sure you can see why 👍

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

If by “shitty” you mean everything in their society is exactly the same, but somehow cheaper, cleaner, and more inspiring then can we import some of that “Russian shit” to America? Gas is cheaper, food is cheaper and they have less debt. Our media lies day in and day out and pretends Russia is on the brink of collapse to justify our own citizens struggling to afford basic necessities. Keep playing up to the Western delusion that Russia is failing because we punished them with sanctions for their moral sins, while we roll out the red carpet for the genocidal state of Israel. Keep applauding the same dumb foreign policy initiatives which brought us “we can overtake Persia in two weeks, Mr. President!”.
Everything we are doing and have done is stupid and we owe it to a bunch of geriatric Baal Worshipers who think if they kill enough Palestinian children, they’ll prove themselves ‘chosen’ for Satan.
Reality? The Eastern hemisphere is now on the rise and you can’t gatekeep that reality forever.

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

Dear Candace,
Yes, Russia is truly and amazing place.

If people in US knew, that you can live "that well" as a most sanctioned country in the world - they would revolt.

Thus, they are being kept in a bubble of lies of the real state of the world - this is why everyone is in MeltDown when you "blow up" the illusion by visiting Russia and just telling what you see.

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

@onemoretime1494 @Alexandr4Denman @DanOHerrin Well, only you can decide.
Some 30 y.o. feel they are already “to old” to bother while we have some people that are “young at heart” and go ahead with relocation when they are +70 y.o. 👍

We do recommend to at least - visit 😎

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

Dear @RealCandaceO, you should also try "Surf Coffee" with a Bumble drink — a mix of Fresh orange juice and coffee - black and orange. 🐝 Ice cold - very refreshing in the summer.

Why St. Petersburg’s architecture
looks smoother than Moscow’s.

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

@TheRussiaBlog Пышки в Питере - is a must do.

An order of 3 is an absolute minimum😎

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]

@JoeyMannarino This is why normal people from Europe now https://t.co/nXS0nzYWZJ - because it´s safe and you can live a normal life there.

[MoveToRussia.com @MoveToRussiaCom]
