Results of the week. "The flight is normal ... I fall ..."
Farion on Lviv chariot
The week came remarkable news from the Ukrainian city of Lviv. Irina Fahrion, a deputy of the regional Council from the Freedom Party, which is positioning itself as a party of the nationalist right wing, did everything so that there would be more unemployed in Ukraine. It would seem that municipal deputies should contribute to the employment of their citizens, but, apparently, not in the case of Mrs. Fahrion.
This lady a few weeks ago decided to ride on one of the Lviv minibuses. But either before that, she had no idea that riding on the fixed-route taxis didn’t fit in with the nationalist policies of her party, or that very day she had, say, the peak of women's difficulties. In general, Irina Dmitrievna came into indescribable horror when she heard that Russian music was playing in the Lviv minibus. At first, the deputy wanted to jump out of the car on the move, so as not to hear the driver literally trample down not the gas, clutch and brake pedals, but the Ukrainian mov, but apparently the speed was too high, and Irina Dmitrievna decided to stay inside.
According to the deputy herself, she told the driver to turn off Russian music, because its sound violates the law “on the absence of musical accompaniment during the movement,” but the driver colorfully explained to Mrs. Fahrion where and under what conditions he saw local laws.
This Irina Dmitrievna could not stand. By some miracle, holding her ears and closing her eyes, she got to the right stop, jumped out of the minibus, and only there she could take a hefty rich sip of the Lviv air that was not stupefied by moskal propaganda.
After that, Fahrion said “where necessary”, and after a while the driver was fired. Calling the driver "being", the deputy added that it would be so with everyone who decided to disregard the Ukrainian language. In other words, before the law was adopted, Irina Dmitrievna, in principle, didn’t have anything to do, and the matter was solely in the Russian-speaking performance of the composition during her journey through Lviv.
A couple of years ago, Deputy Fahrion visited one of the local preschool institutions, where she explained to children in a popular manner that they do not have the right to call themselves Masha, Petey and Lizami, since these are purely “Moskal” names. We must be called exclusively Petrykami, Natalochki and Mikhaylik, and otherwise "go to Muscovy."
Well this is how hard it is to live in this world of Fahrion herself, who bears not only a popular name in Russia, but also a middle name that sounds in unison with the name of the Russian Prime Minister. In this regard, the city passport office in Lviv must immediately decide to rename Fahrion herself, so that she does not disgrace the honor and dignity of independent Ukraine with her full name. And besides, the deputy should send a parcel with a gift in case of her next appearance in Lviv shuttles. In a parcel post to pack cotton ear tampons (a means against listening to Russian music), as well as glasses, on the inside of the glasses of which the images of UPA activists are pasted - perhaps Irina Dmitrievna feel better ...
And who are the judges ...
Libyan judges are pondering over how they can appeal the appeal of the sentence to Russians sentenced to various terms of imprisonment (up to life) on charges of complicity with the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. According to the prosecutors, the complicity was that the Russians allegedly repaired the military equipment of the Gaddafi army, which was then used "against the Libyan people." Now the judges of excessively democratic Libya will have to decide on what will happen next with the convicts.
In the meantime, the judges break their democratic heads, the Russians and in prison do not give a proper way to sit. According to Russian consular officials, they (convicts) are used in road construction and car repairs already for the new Libyan regime. Apparently, the decision of the Libyan court directly depends on what result will be achieved after the car repair. If the Russians repair the cars well, then it is unlikely that they will have to wait for the indulgence of the new Libyan authorities, but if the prisoners do not succeed with the carburetor, they will send the Russians free.
But, seriously speaking, the "rescue of the drowning" today is in the hands of the Russian authorities. If, in relation to the new Libyan regime, which is known by whom it is planted on its soft armchairs, show weakness, then these odnemokratizirovannyh fighters of the front for the rights and freedoms of man and citizen will continue to use any opportunities to find more free workers to solve internal Libyan problems. If Moscow shows rigidity, then you see, and with the appeal, things will go much livelier.
Will Merkel man save the European Union again?
The other day the regular summit of the European Union took place, which was mainly devoted to the issues of overcoming the financial crisis that hit the old woman Europe. Now the EU leaders decided that the monetary union would help them cope with the crisis. It will be created with the active participation of the European Central Bank, which will conduct a strict monitoring of the activities of all European banks. In other words, the ECB will have the opportunity to interfere in the activities of national banks and “prompt” with how they need to work so that the wolves are fed and the sheep remain intact. Everything seems to be quite good in today's conditions, but only in order for such a system to start functioning, European banks will need “only” 106,5 billion euros. Experts report that as soon as this amount is available to the banks (and everyone looked at Angela Merkel, who must have nervously scratched the table with her nails), then the banks will recapitalize and Europe will heal much better than before.
Translating the plan of European debtors into ordinary language, it can be said that the Greeks, Spaniards, Italians and others like them again want to receive, for example, tens of billions from generous Germany, only now without harsh conditions. You, they say, Angela, do not worry - just give us more money in debt without your multi-interest tricks, and our banks, to be sure, will now accurately use the money properly. And, maybe, Mrs. Merkel would have decided to immediately get the next billions from her wallet, but she remembered that this time her football Bundesmash was beaten by the Italians, and after all the Italian politicians, led by Mario Monti, more than others, advocate German conspiracy. And now the Chancellor will have to think about how to make sure that the euro does not fall into another pit, and the “italians are not very happy” football and economic successes ...
Membership of Uzbekistan
During the week, the Uzbek authorities announced that they were once again suspending their membership in the CSTO. The decision for the Organization itself was quite unexpected, because according to the CSTO charter, applications for suspension of membership should be voiced at least six months before the start of this suspension itself.
Recall that Uzbekistan has already “divorced” the CSTO and was in the process of suspending relations with the Collective Security Treaty Organization with 1999 through 2006 a year. Readers may ask the question: why, in 2006, did Tashkent again feel an unexpected craving for the CSTO and decided to forget about the differences? The answer here is simple: the fact is that in May 2005, Islam Abduganievich had to drink a gallant vial of Corvalol because of the protest movement that had gained momentum and the insurgency in Andijan. Mr. Uzbek President, realizing that Corvalol is not helping, gave the order to shoot from automatic weapons demonstrators who opposed a lawsuit against 23's local businessmen. Riots were used by terrorist organizations who wished to solve their problems “on the sly”. After this, Islam Abduganiyevich unexpectedly realized that it was time to rejoin the friendly family called the CSTO in order to preserve the leather presidential chair.
But as the years go by, the past is erased from memory, and, apparently, it was also erased from the memory of elderly Karimov. The scars of the Andijan events dissolve into the soul of the permanent Uzbek leader, Corvalol and other anti-demonstration medicines taken in 2005 in large doses completely came out of the body, and Mr. Karimov decided to recall again that he was a regional leader, and there were no “odekabe-shmodekabe” He does not need.
However, in the case of “something that did not work out,” Islam Abduganiyevich decided not to finally break up with the organization, but simply once again to suspend his membership in it. The position, I must say, is very convenient: in joint events, while in the country everything is quiet and smooth, you don’t need to take part, you don’t need to spend money on summits and meetings either (we’ve supposedly stopped ...). But, as soon as the fried bird pecks Islam Abduganiyevich to a certain place, so he will remember that he should again join the saving union.
In general, it is time for the Uzbek president to somehow designate that, they say, Islam, you are wrong, and even close the gate behind him.
Part II. Enmity, disrespect and poverty
Commercial break
There is such a country - Turkey. There is a sky above it. Sky, by the way, there are over many other countries. For example, over Syria.
However, the Turkish pilots, as well as their strategic bosses, believe that the sky over Turkey is much more than an uninitiated person would think. Say, a part of the sky over Syria is also a Turkish sky. In the extreme case - international. That is, where everyone who wants it can fly. Or who will be ordered. And they order fighter-reconnaissance fighters to be noted in this very “international” sky in Turkey. The fact is that it is the Turkish and it is precisely the reconnaissance pilots who for some reason deviate from the course, eventually falling into the very different sky.
One such Turkish intelligence officer, RF-4E “Phantom II”, circled in the Syrian sky for a quarter of an hour, mistaking it for international, and then was safely shot down by one of the air defense trunks, broke into pieces and drowned in Syrian waters, which Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan , probably personally trained reconnaissance pilots, also initially declared international. The enthusiastic Mr. Erdogan didn’t get enough to internationally declare Syria international.
In order to cool down after the non-neighborly deed of the Syrians, the Prime Minister waited several days after the incident, and then informed the world community about the hostile and mean act of the Syrian air defense. Head of turkish government сказал: “An unarmed reconnaissance aircraft was shot down in the international sky. We should not take our rational response as a sign of weakness. Our anger will be as fierce as our friendship was cordial. ”
Knowing well the professional skills and abilities of the Turkish military pilots, Mr. Erdogan is still noticedthat, yes, the plane visited the airspace of Syria, but after all, he was not there for long and, of course, it was all a fault. Yes, and the flight was a training.
Having made such a statement, Erdogan did what any sane politician would have done in his place: he complained of bloodthirsty Damascus to Damascus's best friend - Moscow. The prime minister dialed the desired number on the phone, and he was connected with Comrade Putin. Russian and Turkish side wisely got together on the fact that the circumstances of the incident should be investigated, and not just investigated, but carefully.
Realizing that nothing more could be achieved from the Russian president, Turkey turned to NATO with the aim of realizing the righteous anger. There, she was listened to favorably, nodded, raised her eyebrows to Syria, and the Secretary General of the Alliance, Mr. Rasmussen. gave out Pearl of Rhetoric: “This action is unacceptable, and we strongly condemn it. I expect that such an incident will not happen again. If something happens, we will follow, consult, and discuss what else needs to be done. ”
Ankara had to get out of the 28 meeting of NATO member countries was not lax.
But anger is anger, and a promise is a promise. Turkey decided to take revenge on Syria, as it is now accepted, if not in the East, then in the West. First, it was sanctioned by a parrot, and then opened the information front.
In the flight of fantasy, the Turks flew much further than the Phantom was a failed one. In developing an anti-Syrian campaign for the press, Turkish creative specialists decided to immediately take the bull by the horns.
After Turkey’s meeting with other NATO members ended in bold zero, local media reported on the report of the National Intelligence Organization of Turkey, появились reports that from the Syrian army deserted no less than a hundred thousand people. And the whole crowd of deserters joined the united ranks of the Free Syrian Army (SSA). The propagandists who were carried away by writing were also writing that 60% of the territory of Syria was under the control of the opposition.
One should not be surprised if next week Turkish creative people write that Bashar Assad voluntarily surrendered to the rebels and handed the keys to chemical weapons depots to Burkhan Galiun personally.
Turks should learn propaganda from America. Those who are able to slowly and systematically undermine their fragile souls with their political concoction ...
Turkish child will not believe impatient propaganda either. Only those comrades who seriously believe that fraternal Mongolia will take the "news" of a hundred thousand deserters on faith. now - part of the Russian Federation.
And further. Let me be called a cynic, but the Syrian earthly response to the heavenly invasion of Turkey served as a good advertisement for the Russian air defense systems. Lord Davutoglu and Erdogan, who made an extra noise in the media with their speeches, contributed a lot to the glorification of Russian weapons - and at the same time to the Western fear of them. Fear of the right, after which Mr. Rasmussen, who had seen a lot in his life, was far from the most peaceful person in the world, shaking in his knees.
In press hintedthat the fighter was shot down by something Russian, which is in service with Syria, - and they listed: here you are both “Buk”, and “Pechora”, and Armor ”... fly around, buy, as they say, goods for every taste and wallet.
Actually the plane landed under the fire of Iranian-made guns, but it turned out after the "commercial break".
Attorney General-switchman
US Attorney General Eric Holder, who holds the post of prosecutor general, was recently convicted of contempt of Congress. Resolution about it took House of Representatives. “For” 255 votes were cast, “against” - only 67. Republican congressmen believe that Mr. Holder, representing the executive branch, insulted the legislative branch. “Insult” was the refusal to provide the Congress with documents about the secret operation “Fast and Furious” that had failed a few years ago, the purpose of which was to combat arms smuggling to Mexico.
In the course of the operation, which was carried out in 2006-2011, American agents were involved in the delivery of small arms to Mexico, in order to find out the ways of its smuggling. Total agents have been sold more 2.000 weapons, some of which could not be returned. The scandal erupted after it turned out: the sold weapon shoots in the hands of criminals in Mexico. In 2010, two trunks from these parties showed up at the scene of the murder of US border guard Brian Terry.
The agency operation was curtailed, and the following year such operations were prohibited by law. And the ban came from Holder. General Prosecutor accused of contempt сказалthat the scheme of the operation was developed and started to be carried out under the administration of George W. Bush, and he, Holder, having learned the details, put an end to this.
The charge of disrespect is in fact artificial and politically motivated. After all, Mr. Holder personally did not insult the Congress. Blame the US President Barack Obama. It was he who - by the way, for the first time during his presidency, - ordered to lock secret documents in the safeguard of the Justice Ministry (this is the legitimate privilege of the American president: has the right to refuse to give evidence to testify and not provide documents). Therefore, having no other opportunity to be angry with their "ideological" opponent Barack Obama, the Republican legislators, hoping to lower the election rating of Democrat Obama, who is slightly ahead of Republican Romney, opposed Holder.
More than a hundred congressmen representing the Democratic Party boycotted the vote on the prosecution’s accusation. However, seventeen Jews supported the Republicans.
Incidentally, insult charges are criminal. The decision on the Minister of Justice will be made by the prosecutor for the Federal District of Columbia, that is, a subordinate of Holder. Now, prosecutor Ronald Machen will decide the fate of his boss.
Thus, Mr. Holder was formally guilty of not allowing the President to read the documents to the congressmen and hiding them in the safe. Substantially his fault lies in the fact that the scandal with documents is beneficial to the Republicans: points will be taken away from the Democrats and added to the Republicans defending the true American values in Congress. And nothing that the operation with a weapon began, George W. Bush - a Republican.
Serve three dollars!
A week ago, on Sunday, an appeal to voters appeared on the website of Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters. There it was noted with sadness that Mitt Romney would probably raise more money for his election campaign than Barack Obama.
In the text said: “For the first time in modern history America, the current president will collect less money for his campaign; by some estimates, the ratio will be 1 to 3. ”
Moreover, Republicans are spending millions on television attacks on Democrat Obama: in just the last ten days of June, they are planning to spend 20 millions of dollars on their ignoble goals, that is, two million a day! Voters were asked to think about how much Republicans would spend on attacks in the last week of October.
In a letter сообщалось: “We do not have billionaires writing checks for ten million dollars, and now we cannot change the laws that allow private money to abduct democracy. We have over two million ordinary people donating an average of 51 dollars. Every day, starting from today and ending in November, we can fight with the huge financial superiority of our opponent and his supporters over the common people. ”
The “thief of democracy”, Mr. Romney, is predicted to collect and spend about 1,2 billion dollars on a campaign. As for Obama, he is unlikely to pick up more than 750 million dollars - that is how much he collected in the 2008 year, setting a record, by the way.
Due to these disappointing forecasts, the campaign headquarters asked Democratic voters donate at least a 3 dollar to the election campaign of Barack Obama.
In the meantime, Mr. Obama is forced to sell T-shirts (25 bucks apiece; such a high price due to printed on the fabric of the birth certificate of the president) and begging for serial stars.
He recently ate with Sarah Jessica Parker, the stars of the series Sex and the City. To have a snack near Obama, you had to pay for the entrance. 40.000 dollars. Earlier, Hollywood has already presented Obama with a gift: lottery and reception from George Clooney brought 15 million dollars to American President.
Barack Obama, known for his warm attitude towards same-sex couples, also gave a speech at the Pentagon’s celebration of the gay and lesbian pride day last week. However, this performance did not bring dividends to him. Until it was heard about the large donations from fans of rainbow colors, as well as the organization of a rich reception with the lottery. Whether representatives of the LGBT, whom Defense Minister Leon Panetta thanked for devotional service to their homeland, they are embarrassed to marry Obama, or are they expecting from the president that he will turn his personal opinion on the legalization of same-sex marriage into law. A law that will quickly make it clear to the world community who in America can be attributed to sexual minorities.
