Sniffed gunpowder
The Prosecutor General's Office found out the cause of the fire and explosions at the Orenburg arsenal. It should be recalled that 11 June, fire pillars and deadly fireworks flew over the military site of the Southern Urals, with the result that the arsenal was completely destroyed, people from nearby villages had to be urgently evacuated. It is reported, however, that such an emergency has not led to the victims.
So, the prosecutors literally in a couple of days were able to find out that the cause of the fire could be the smoking of some of the military personnel - the person who carried out the measures for the removal of ammunition. In addition, experts have established that many ammunition were not properly stored and were generally abandoned, as they say, in the open air. Well, the question is, and what prevented the supervisory authorities from establishing the facts of inadequate storage of gunpowder, ammunition and shells before the fire at the arsenal, we will not ask, perhaps. As you know, a bad dancer is always in the way of something.
Let us rejoice in the efficiency of the work done and for the fact that, apparently, one of the investigators was so big-eyed that he found the most notorious cigarette butt, from which everything blew up into the air. In general, the prosecutors did a great job, they worked in a procuratorial way.
More great "great" - the commanders of the very part that served the military arsenal near Orenburg. After it turned out that the cause of the fire was an extinguished cigarette, the image of a fighter emerged who was instructed to “work a little” with ammunition. A fighter practiced in carrying shells from place to place, then sat on open barrels of gunpowder, put his legs for a better support on accidentally projectile stuck from somewhere (judging by the version of the prosecutor's office), took out the soldier's joy from his pocket - “Prima” cigarettes, struck match and lit a cigarette. The smoke of the cigarette reminded the soldier about the house ... He was sad ... He put out a cigarette on the edge of an open box with mines and went away, but behind him he was already burning ... But the fighter, like the hero of Bruce Willis, did not even scratch from hundreds of explosions and dozens of flames, but suffered three civilians - residents of the nearby village, located a few kilometers from the epicenter.
In general, if the commanding fathers are sympathetic to the smoking of soldiers in the military arsenal and to the “powder deposits” under the open sky - this is a case close to the clinical one. If we assume that in the territory of the arsenal, it was not the fighters of the unit who smoked, but the very injured civilians, then to the commanding fathers no less questions arise.
As a result, it can be said that something is wrong with our military warehouses and arsenals in the country. On some people they smoke, on the other of the shells they build a pyramid. Maybe, on the third, in general, the underground slot machine hall operates or is the VIP sauna “With a fire”? ..
Adored Caucasian traditions in the Ministry of Defense
Once again, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation decided not to call up young people from the North Caucasus Federal District to military service. More specifically, the services of the guys of the Caucasian nationality in the department were refused. The reason for such a decision was the fact that the Ministry of Defense considers Caucasians those who provoke non-statutory relations in the Armed Forces. Military prosecutors cheerfully report that, they say, we are getting rid of Caucasians on the sly in the army, and hazing gradually fades away. On the one hand, everything, of course, looks good and smooth, but there is one more side of the coin that can be viewed by interested parties from a certain angle.
After all, what a temptation it is for numerous refusers to suddenly take and declare themselves ethnic Avars or Chechens, get a mark of registration in Makhachkala or Grozny, and then walk past their district military registration and enlistment office with a satisfied face. Yes, in principle, with the level of corruption that, sadly, exists in our country today, you can not even go to any Grozny and Makhachkala just to stay in your cozy apartment in central Russia. Well, they say, in my heart I was always Avar, and now thanks to a happy coincidence of circumstances I was registered somewhere at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains, but it happened - I live in the hero-city of Moscow, the capital of our Motherland. Here, if necessary, Islam will be accepted, if only to fully merge with the "brothers" from the southern regions.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense, or more precisely, the department of education of this department, announces that this year about 8000 applicants will be enrolled as cadets of military universities. Everything would be fine, but after all, what kind of discrimination happens: there is not a single word about the very same Caucasian youth. Apparently, the Ministry of Defense is sure that hazing in military schools does not exist at all, and the Caucasian cadets are not Caucasian soldiers. The first, you see, white and fluffy, and the second - well, just completely goons, scumbags, and in general adherents neostavschiny.
In general, it is worthwhile to state the fact that the Defense Ministry finally signed its helplessness against the suppression of bullying, even with a one-year service life. After all, to row with one comb all, without exception, young guys from the Caucasus - this is more like an attempt to withdraw from the real imposing order in the army.
Apparently, the next decision of the Defense Ministry will be an order to call in the Russian army exclusively young guys with an academic education behind them, the ability to play the violin and recite at least Johann Wolfgang Goethe during the drill. And besides, it would not be superfluous for these fighters to have the first sports classes and still know the Carnegie psychology textbook by heart - and could independently extinguish internal conflicts without the participation of officers. But after all, here too, in the end, two privates with candidate degrees can not divide the violin in the club, and come on - “by kettle, by kumpola” ... And this is again a headache for the Ministry ...
Pension Fund: I'm losing weight
Well, at last all Russian pensioners, without exception, will breathe in completely, for the Big Brother in the person of the Ministry of Labor has decided to take care of them completely and irrevocably. A new idea of pension reform no longer leads to an indispensable increase in the retirement age, which, of course, can only please. Pension functionaries decided to go the other way and find new sources to replenish the slimming pension fund.
The Pension Fund of Russia (pronounced vividly, with a smile on your face and sings it out - as in a famous advertisement) boldly reports that from now on all Russian pensioners will heal like in a fairy tale. After coming to a well-deserved vacation, they (we) will have financial happiness in the form of 40% of average earnings, and these 40% are not any beggarly 40% there, as the officials say, but the most substantial money that will cover almost all the expenses of an ordinary Russian pensioner who wants to pay for utilities, and to provide himself with products and, what the hell is not joking, break into an overseas tourist trip to the exotic islands somewhere.
In general, the picture is indeed rainbow, with gushing elements. However, the question immediately arises that a black cloud bursts into the blue sky, painted by a brisk brush of painters from the Pension Fund. And this question is, and who, strictly speaking, will ensure such prosperity for Russian pensioners in the near future. And here the Minister of Labor and Social Development gives a clear and unequivocal answer: the money will come from where no one expected it. Finally, such categories of citizens as nurses, envelope mites at home, migrant workers from friendly republics of the former USSR, “bombies” from railway stations, and other categories of citizens will begin to make pension contributions. And indeed, how such an undoubtedly bright thought had never occurred to anyone before. Well, how much can the Moldovan and Tajik donors of the Pension Fund alone do much good for the Russian grandparents so that they can not deny themselves anything.
By the way, to increase the collection of funds to the treasury of the PFR, Minister Topilin can go even further: finally legalize prostitution along with trade weapons and drugs. Then the flow of pension contributions can simply inflate the pension treasury to unprecedented amounts. Yes, then our pensioners, both Japanese and American, would simply be plugged into their belts ... However, in this case, the pension will have to be paid to retired confused and couriers who have spent their lives at the “machine tool” in nightclubs.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Development on proposals for the payment of pension contributions from guest workers and others does not stop. The marketing curve continues to stand out in the green of joy and rush up. The FIU declares that retirees can also receive under 70% of average earnings, but this will have to participate in the proposed programs. There are only three conditions: the employer pays contributions to the Pension Fund for his employee, certain corporate contributions are made to the same fund, and besides, the employee himself saves money to non-state commercial organizations or bonds, for example, to the so-called structural bonds to finance construction and road repair.
Translating all this into an ordinary language, one can say the following: in order for a pensioner to live at ease after being sent to a well-deserved rest, he needs to transfer all his income to the Pension Fund before this sending. Only here it is not a fact that everything will be fine. After all, a FIU is a solid organization, and solid organizations in our country are often subject to reform with the simultaneous optimization of contributions, investments and contributions.
In general, the new proposals from the FIU are certainly impressive. It is already difficult to say how the marketing campaign of the Pension Fund of Russia differs from the marketing of Sergey Mavrodi. Just change the slogan to “Buy an old lady's boots”, and the rest - two drops of water ...
Grandma's Tears
This week, the country's most democratic retiree Lyudmila Alekseeva rebelled - the head of the notorious Moscow Helsinki Group (MHG), who also worked part-time at the Human Rights Council under the President. Maybe the next reform of the Pension Fund affected it, perhaps a full moon, but Lyudmila Mikhailovna considered the Kremlin’s decision to be discriminatory that the HRO would be formed not by the Council members themselves, as is happening now, but based on wide public discussion, even through online sites. The oppositionist with the Stakhanov opposition figures, who herself, apparently, considers herself the most ardent social activist of the country, was disturbed by the fact that the society for whose rights she cares so much and will decide who will sit in this very specific body. The aggrieved citizen of 2 countries decided to just throw a statement on the table, showing all her opposition to the anger that some “unwashed” and “bastard” public would take on the issue of staff saturation with the Council staff. After all, before the decision of the presidential administration, everything was extremely accurate: they voted for themselves, were themselves elected, themselves with a mustache, and now the public may not give the woman of late balzac age a credibility to protect her own interests.
Motivating the fact that the Council should be elected by “knowledgeable” people, Mrs. Alekseeva said that even when choosing the General Staff of Russia, the soldiers' opinions are asked about this or that candidate so that the generals would be efficient. Who personally asks the soldiers' opinion, and what opinion of what particular rank-and-file she had in mind, Lyudmila Mikhailovna could not clarify, but only again raised her opposition eyebrows from the opposition angle.
But either the prospect of being left alone with the sharks of the housing and communal services with the opposition pension diminished the ardor of citizen Alekseyeva, or the crust of a member of the Council did not want to be archived, but after a short time Lyudmila Mikhailovna decided not to burn the bridges completely, but to declare that everything - under certain conditions (her conditions, of course), she can remain on the Council. The conditions are as follows: not to allow any public organizations to form the HRC, but to leave everything as it was before, when “with your mustache”
In general, there is a clear desire of Lyudmila Mikhaylovna to continue to go by leaps and bounds to the democratic bright future of Russia, when only a limited number of people with an active position of a certain direction have the right to choose and be elected, but everyone else - sorry - is forbidden to enter. The words of Mrs. Alekseeva about her misunderstanding of the situation in which “the same guy from Uralvagonzavod” might be in the HRO may be indicative. After all, she - Lyudmila Mikhailovna - has her own civic position, but “that guy” cannot have her and therefore does not have the right to claim rights.
So, an honorary opposition figure herself cannot decide yet what is nearer to her: the protection of human rights in the broad sense of the word or the protection of specific human rights - that is, beloved, with all the ensuing consequences.
Part II. Save yourself, Michel Platini!
Between the prison and the mental hospital
21 June Prosecution asked the court found Anders Breivik insane and forcibly treat him in a psychiatric clinic. Any prosecutor on Svein Holden’s place would have doubted that Breivik was a man, not a patient. Of course, Comrade Holden should not be expressed in such a deliberately coarse form as other scribblers (more precisely, keyboardists), and therefore he said much softer: that the defendant’s actions and statements testify to his apparent mental ill-health. However, he concluded his soft words with a rather tough warning: if Breivik is considered normal, the prosecution will insist on the maximum possible term for him - twenty-one years in prison.
The question here is not how long it is - 21 year. After all, everything is known in comparison.
If a terrorist lands in a mental hospital, his treatment will be delayed. Most likely, it will be treated for life. The fact is that if normal and relatively normal people (that is, including those who sit in prison in prison) have all rights and freedoms in order, then it’s difficult to talk about the rights of irresponsible people. Psychiatrists can decide whether 50 or 60 is old if the patient is healthy or has not recovered. Psychiatry, you know, is a subtle science. It is possible and bolder to say: no, it is not a science.
For example, the same Breivik was examined by two groups of Norwegian forensic psychiatric experts, one after the other. So what? These groups came to the opposite conclusions: the first group decided that he was crazy, and the second - that he was sane.
Of course, after these “expert” conclusions, anyone, even the most disruptive, would have come to their senses for a moment and realized: er, I'd rather be in the camera for 21 a year than in the hands of life to these specialists. Having got me into the ward, the doctors will begin to write their doctoral dissertations, asking me various silly and ridiculous questions and showing incomprehensible pictures. And well, one or two doctors, but how can you imagine that this dissertation nightmare was mixed with antidepressants, insulin injections, electroconvulsive therapy, vagus stimulation, and for a change in dousing with icy water in the Norwegian frost and prolonged medical fasting stretched by two or three generations of doctors ...
Therefore, one should not be surprised that Breivik constantly repeats: I want to go to prison, I want to go to the camera for 21, I don’t want to go to the nuthouse, I’m sane, sane, sane. And his lawyer repeats the same thing. Geir Lippestad: Breivik is a “political activist” who was responsible for his actions and led a “normal” life among friends and colleagues.
At the end of May, the Norwegian government promised to pick up a mass murderer of cellmates - not those who generally live in prisons, but special, hard life near Breivik will be paid from the Norwegian budget. Ordinary cellmates are not suitable: you never know, the terrorist will take them hostage and break free. In Norway, the authorities of Norway cannot keep the murderer alone: the laws of this democratic country prohibit a criminal in solitary confinement for long. That is why the leadership of the Il prison was The decision was made hire people to play chess, floorball and chat with Breivik every day. If you wish, and some training in rhetoric, Breivik can even turn inmates to his terrorist faith.
This is the kind of care that Anders Breivik will be surrounded in in a humane Norwegian penitentiary. The company of psychos with schizophrenic-split personalities, broad-shouldered nurses with syringes and handfuls of pills, and finally, the candidate's doctors, who prohibit playing not only floorball, but even in World of Warcraft, it turns out, as the Norwegian shooter does, so enjoyable.
However, the court and the government have another solution. He was offered 22 Jun by Breivik himself, speaking in the courtroom with the “last word”. He protested that non-ethnic Norwegians could represent Norway at Eurovision, noted that the Hollywood series Sex and the City corrupts viewers, finally said, looking at a piece of paper, that it was he, Anders Breivik, who saved Norway from a multicultural hell. "History shows that it is necessary to commit a little barbarism in order to prevent large-scale barbarism. The July 22 attack was a preemptive strike to protect Norway’s indigenous people, - сказал Breivik judges. “I demand justification.”
Thus, here it is, the third way out: to release Breivik into the wild. Let another eighty or two hundred people be preemptively shot or blown up. For the sake of preserving the indigenous population of Norway.
No, the judges and the prosecutor will not listen to Breivik. Democracy in Norway has not yet grown to such a degree of freedom.
The killer, who is stuck between a prison and a mental hospital for a month or two, will either have to spend 21 a year behind bars, playing chess and talking with paid cellmates about the dominance of multiculturalism, or watch how psychiatry develops over the next half century.
"Significant event"
Colonel Hassan Hamad deserted on Thursday from the Syrian air force - and not just wandered off to the Turkish side, but flew to Jordan on the MiG-21. Syrian command called this man was "a deserter who committed a crime and will be punished for his actions under martial law," and the former colonel found political asylum in Jordan.
In the US State Department, the transfer of the Syrian deserter was delighted. Victoria Nuland said: “This is indeed a very significant event, when a pilot on an airplane worth 25 million dollars flies to another country.”
28 years ago there was one similar “significant event”, though not so spectacular: military pilot David Hemler, who served in the squadron of the US Air Force in Germany, in 1984, deserted, hitchhiking from Germany to Sweden, successfully pretended there as a son of homeless parents and soon became a citizen of the country. "Swede" successfully married, had three children. Mr. Pilot didn’t like Reagan’s foreign policy — only this was the reason for the escape. Recently ex-pilot confessed in his desertion.
However, the special investigations department of the US Air Force did not appreciate his deed. Moreover, this department now expects to bring the ex-pilot to justice.
Probably, in order for Mr. Hemler’s act to be recognized as “significant”, he should have hijacked the fighter. Only, most likely, the pilot would have to fly not to Sweden, but to Russia. I would have married a Muscovite, and instead of “ABBA” I would have listened to “Terrans” ...
Blame Platini
Pan Cuba Voevudsky and Pan Michal Figursky, the leading Polish radio station Eska Rock 12 of June, entertaining listeners on the air of the program “Wojewodzki Figurski Poranny WF”, decided to talk on international topics. It was provoked by an “international” dialogue, probably the just finished match of the European Football Championship, in which Ukraine defeated Sweden.
Probably, Voevudsky and Figursky were rooting for Sweden. Therefore, they devoted a negative radio dialogue to Ukraine. Having said nothing about the Ukrainians-men, they immediately turned to the women's topic.
“Do you know what I did yesterday after the match with Ukraine?” - started conversation Voevudsky. - “What?” Asked Figursky.
And the conversation went with an underlined national flavor. Voevudsky said: "I acted like a real Pole ..." - Figursky in response: "Did you kick the dog?" - "No, I ousted my Ukrainian girl." “And that's a good idea.” It has not occurred to me yet. You know? I will not cry for anger today. ” “You know what, and I'll take mine back, take her money and drive her out again.” - "I will tell you that if mine were at least a little prettier, then I would have raped her." “Eee ... I don't know what mine looks like, because she's on her knees all the time.”
The dubious quality of humor was not understood in the Polish-Ukrainian fund PAUCI, as well as in the Association of Ukrainians in Poland. These organizations, without delaying the case indefinitely, sent the materials to the prosecutor's office. Polish Foreign Ministry did not like the strange jokes of the two radio channels either. Press secretary of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Marcin Bosatsky сказал: "The statements of these men are not only idiotic, but scandalous and boorish." The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine also made condemnation, underliningthat such statements "lead to incitement of national hostility between Poles and Ukrainians, and also destroy the friendship and good atmosphere of the Ukrainian-Polish strategic partnership."
The leadership of the Polish radio station Eska Rock said in response that Voevudsky and Figursky were misunderstood. The head of the radio station, Boguslav Potonts, said that the leaders, as it were, were not themselves, but were embodied in the images of their characters: “Authors often take different roles to show and ridicule the pettiness of some Poles and the harmful schemes that guide them.”.
Well, in this case, the two presenters had to apologize on the air for those characters whose roles they played. 22 June Michal Figursky on the air of Eska Rock on behalf of both the guilty, and at the same time the radio stations apologized in Polish, English, Russian and French - to the sounds of the national anthem of Ukraine. In order not to seem small, one of the guests of the morning program immediately read out the text of an apology in Danish.
But the Poles are not forgiven. PAUCI insists on the prosecutor’s investigation (the outcome of which could be the conclusion of Voevudsky and Figursky for up to three years). Perhaps, because, having apologized in five languages, the presenters forgot about the most important language - Ukrainian, or maybe because in Poland the humiliation of Ukrainian women is a real unkind tradition.
In January, Bartek Vengliarchyk, a TVN rating host, hosting a morning show with Yolanta Pienkowska, spoke of Ukrainian women as “home robots". When they started talking about the order in the house, and Pienkovskaya regretted that robots for housework had not yet been invented, Vengliarchik сказал: “There are robots! These robots are Ukrainian! ”
Popular Pan Venglarchik did not even have to apologize: the deputy director of TVN did it for him. One month after the transfer.
But Figursky, the scandal with which against the background of the match turned out to be very noisy, had to pay for his behavior on the air with a career. The pre-match ceremony of the semifinal match of the European Football Championship, which will be held in Warsaw 28 June, this person will not lead: he suspended UEFA.
By the way, the gentlemen of Figursky and Voevudsky - before insulting the Ukrainian nation - humiliated on the air of the Indians, and once they managed to insult the Ku Klux Klan. For the Indians and the KKK, the presenters had to pay for the 50.000 zł fine.
The “Steb” of Figursky, Voevudsky and Venglyarchik are not all the sorrows from the media that have fallen on the difficult share of Ukrainian women. The fact is that the Germans have recently begun to strengthen the friendship of nations.
According to the "Ukrinform"June 16 German newspaper "Bild" called Ukraine "a country of prostitutes." The correspondent of the newspaper, according to the chairman of the Central Union of Ukrainians in Germany Lyudmila Mlosh, came to his conclusions "after talking with only one Ukrainian prostitute."
It was about an article titled “Cases of prostitutes are bad now: Ukrainian prostitutes complain about competition in the fan zones,” which states that 100 of thousands of Ukrainian women sell their bodies for money.
Journalist Matthias Marburg, author of the article, already apologized: “If someone took this as an insult to the whole of Ukraine, I apologize. That was not my intention. ”
Now on bild.de, in the Sport section, you can find an article from Marburg dated 18.06.2012 called “She plans to attack Platini”. This is probably the edited version.
A short note tells about the Ukrainian movement “Femen”, the words of the representative of which is Inna Shevchenko and quoted by Matias Marburg. The goal of this movement, in which 40 Kiev activists are involved, the author notes, is the fight against prostitution. As the enemies opposed to the movement, are called: a) the government; b) UEFA; c) Michel Platini. The European Championship, according to the activist, turned Ukraine into one continuous brothel. Representatives of the movement supposed to tear down every game, protesting in the nude. They failed to break a single match, but they are not discouraged - and they are going to take on personally Michel Platini. On the UEFA president will be arranged Sex-Angriff - sexual assault. Details are not specified.
So, lovely Ukrainian women are surrounded by enemies from all sides: from their own government to foreign radio, television and the press. The situation is unbearable, agree. But not envy, and Monsieur Platini. It seems that the UEFA president will soon have to translate into a scapegoat.
