Seagal will help us
It is believed that if Stephen Seagal walked across the train with a gloomy face, the passengers are in real danger. So says popular wisdom.
In the outgoing week, Stephen Sigal did not pass through the wagon, but through the offices of the Federal Drug Control Service, where he met with the head of the anti-drug agency of Russia, Viktor Ivanov. One of the main cinematographic fighters against international crime and the “bad guys” of all stripes decided to share his thoughts on the negative role of anesthesia in society.
It is worth recalling here that Seagal is not only a famous American actor, but at the same time he is also a representative of the authorities of one of the American states. Last year, Stephen Seagal decided to try himself as a first deputy sheriff in Texas county Hudspet (near the border with Mexico), and then tested his strength as a sheriff himself. Apparently, the desire to establish justice since the acting school did not leave Seagal, who, by the way, has Russian roots. He decided to try himself not as a cinema superhero, but as a real representative of the law. However, it turned out that mincing hundreds of “bad guys” in Hollywood action films is much easier than fighting them on the Mexican border in reality. The fact is that Hudspet is the so-called American hot spot. Across the border of this Texas county in the United States, not only are hundreds of illegal immigrants arriving, but also drug traffic from Mexico.
It was after realizing that it was more difficult to resist drug dealers in life than in the movies, Segal decided to raise this problem in Moscow. Viktor Ivanov invited Segal to take part in a conference of law enforcement agencies on combating drugs, which will be held next year in the Russian capital. Segal accepted the invitation and said that the United States today occupies the unconditional first place in terms of drug consumption, which clearly plays a destabilizing role. Seagal himself, he said, is trying to find solutions to the problem of cocaine drug trafficking not only in the United States, but also to try to reduce traffic towards Europe and Russia.
If the drug problem in the US so strongly affects a Buddhist sheriff Stephen Seagall, then in the star-striped "kingdom", apparently, not everything is all right. At the same time, the cocaine problem, which even the man-mountain Segal cannot fight, well explains the behavior of the representatives of the American authorities, as well as those who are eager for this power. If you look at the main slogans of the Republican Party Congress held in Tampa, then it becomes at first unclear where these manic desires come from these people, such as the desire to present Russia as the number one enemy, “curb Moscow”, impose missile defense systems on Russia, make lists of “banned entry” , and also to put pressure on the Kremlin in other ways. But when you remember the words of Steven Seagal and the US cocaine problem (the main drug user in the world), then everything falls into place. People who still can not afford to get rid of the rhetoric of 30-year-old, apparently, the Mexican product does not let go. In that case, Viktor Ivanov, together with the Russian Ministry of Health, could give advice to Steven Sigalu to invite “unreleased” American politicians to Russia for treatment. We can be helped by Romney, and McCain, and all the other victims of the Latin American product, which arouses violent political fantasies ...
New blockbuster from Mikhail Saakashvili
During the week the Georgian media decided to ignite the fading interest of the world community in the situation in this Caucasian country. And in Georgia in recent years it has become accepted: if the local authorities (at least, she calls herself) wants to be noticed somewhere in the European Union or the United States, then we must urgently find an informational occasion in which it is necessary to mention "Aggressive Russia".
This time it happened. On August 28, information came from Tbilisi that the Georgian special units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with air support, moved towards the border with Russia (in the area of the village of Lapankuri). The reason for this nomination was the fact that allegedly from Dagestan, well-equipped and armed people invaded Georgian territory. These people, again, allegedly, took hostage the inhabitants of the very village of Lapankuri. How did Tbilisi understand that the villagers were taken hostage? The question is really interesting ... The fact is that several residents of this village suddenly disappeared the day before. Where they are gone, like no one knows. According to the rather strange logic of the Georgian authorities, this disappearance was linked to the illegal crossing of the border by a group of unknowns. On this occasion, even the Georgian president spoke, who said that the Georgian special forces destroyed 11 militants who came to Georgia "from the north" (translated from Saakashvili language - "from Russia"), and he, Saakashvili, even knows why these people came and kidnapped Georgian civilians. According to him, these people were used as “blind weapon provocations "against peaceful Georgia.
According to official data from Tbilisi, the Georgian Interior Ministry units destroyed 11 militants near Lapankuri, and six were surrounded in the forest. At the same time, Georgian losses made 3 killed, including the head coach of the Georgian Sambo national team, Major Chokheli, and the injured 5. It would seem that everything is laid out on the shelves: the Kremlin “incited” the peace-loving Georgian president of Dagestan militants-saboteurs, who were destroyed by Georgian special forces with minimal losses. But there is a small discrepancy in this officialdom. For some reason, at the very height of the special operation, residents of the Telavi district (it was operating there) wandered through the forest and searched for the lost residents of the village of Lapankuri ... And while the special forces destroyed 11 and surrounded the 6 militants, the "hostages" were suddenly found. According to the candidate from the city of Telavi (opposition party “Georgian Dream”) Gela Samkharauli, five villagers were found in the forest by local residents after the five of them were taken away in an unknown direction by car of the Georgian police ... Did the militants cross the Georgian border not on foot , and on a car repainted in the colors of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs? .. Where then did the keen Georgian border guards look? ..
Samharauli, after finding people "taken hostage by Dagestan militants," was not even allowed to talk to the "liberated". After that, local residents said that all this story with the Dagestani terrorists - another provocation of Saakashvili himself, who gave a real performance, sacrificing his ghostly ideals of the life of representatives of the Georgian special forces.
Indeed, the Georgian special operation looks more like a bad detective in which “saboteurs” penetrate from the territory of Russia, and for some reason capture several residents of a Georgian village. If they were saboteurs, since when did their task become not to destroy the infrastructure and the explosions of government buildings, but to capture peaceful villagers? .. Some very dubious sabotage ...
But it becomes clear why this detective was directed. September 1 was scheduled to congress of the "United National Movement" chaired by Mikhail Saakashvili. The polls said that the rating and the “UNM”, and Saakashvili himself today is lower than that of the opposition parties and their leaders. Obviously, it took an event to warm up the rating - the “Russian threat”, with which Saakashvili and his fighters “successfully coped”.
Now there are photos of the president in the Georgian press, shaking hands with wounded special forces, and with the congress they decided to wait a little, so that the people could feel what heroic deed Mikhail Nikolozovich had done, again protecting his people from the “northern barbarians”.

September 1 is not only Knowledge Day, but also the day when the law on protecting children from harmful information comes into force. It would seem that the law seems to be correct, and its entry into force in Russia is overdue, but it seems that in this case it is impossible to depart from excesses.
The first heated debates about compliance with the law flared up around the beloved by the absolute majority of Russian citizens of the animated film “Well, wait!” x o'clock in the morning ... It turns out that even in "Good night, kids" children can not see the cartoon. And all this is due to the fact that the wolf smokes in many series, and this, you see, falls under the item “information that can make children want to use narcotic drugs, stupefying substances and tobacco products”. Smokers (and not always tobacco) teenagers in doorways and doorways, you know, do not fall, but the wolf on the screen - falls. Homeless people on the benches at the stations do not fall, but “Well, wait!” Falls ... So, maybe, you need to start cleaning things up not from the wolf on the TV?
Initially, representatives of the Russian TV channels decided to cut out smoking scenes from “Well, wait a minute!”, But then they remembered that other heroes like to drag on in the Soviet animation, and not all are completely negative, like a wolf or an old woman Shapoklyak. Smokers are quite friendly captain Vrungel and the favorite of all the pioneers of the crocodile Gena. Zaporozhye Cossacks from the famous cartoon series are also smoking. If all these “forbidden scenes” are cut out, then what then will remain? ..
In order to get out of a difficult situation, they proposed to equate these cartoons to the animated classics, which should not fall under the new law. But at the same time it becomes unclear what exactly to consider as classics and where the border between classics and non-classics is located. For example, the film “Seventeen Moments of Spring,” which, of course, teaches the younger generation of patriotism, is a classic. But there Stirlitz, you know, smokes, and Professor Pleischner is thrown out of the window. And if it comes to that, then our lawmakers and you may well decide that not all modern children will understand correctly why this Soviet citizen Isaev is in the form of a standard of the SS ...
The Diamond Hand is also a classic. But what to do with Semyon Semyonchev Gorbunkov, who gets drunk "in firewood" in the "Weeping Willow", breaks the glass, and all this also gets away with it because he is connected with the police. Yes, there is generally a corruption component in the Ministry of Internal Affairs smells, and not just harmful content for the modern overly impressionable child!
And talking cartoon hedgehogs, bears, horses and other animals, it turns out, can generally bring children to insanity, which is also completely unacceptable for our healthy society, if we proceed from the letter of the law.
In general, the same “Seventeen Moments of Spring” will have to be retaken in a new way in approximately the following format: Colonel Isaev walks around the offices of the Third Reich in Soviet form so that today's children know for sure who the Soviet intelligence agent is in the film. Instead of a regular cigarette, he takes an electronic cigarette out of his pocket with the inscription “Made in the USSR. On health! "Or chewing gum" Little Man-Healthy. " Professor Pleischner in one of the series pretends to take poison, but in fact swallows a capsule of the drug against the flu and is completely healthy (without fever and runny nose) jumping into the window where Bruce Willis saves him, quietly lurking near the window on the Chinook helicopter ... In general, everyone is alive and well - no one even cursed delight. Somehow, so that the law does not break ...
Ukrainian "green"
Soon, the Ukrainian police will be the most environmentally friendly police in the world. In order to finally stop their cars from polluting the atmosphere, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine decided to transfer its employees to "green cars". Greens are not in color, but in terms of exhaust. Now every self-respecting Ukrainian policeman will move around the city and pursue criminals in a Toyota Prius with hybrid powerplants. It is reported that for Ukraine, the Japanese manufacturer makes a big discount, and each new patrol car will cost the Ministry of Internal Affairs "only" 28,5 thousand dollars (about 890 thousand rubles) ... And such machines are planned to purchase 1200 units totaling more than 34 million dollars.
Now Ukrainian law enforcement officers will be able to reduce the emission of harmful gases into the Ukrainian atmosphere by 70%. This is possible due to the fact that the car can move not only on gasoline, but also on electricity, and when driving on electricity, the maximum speed of the police "rocket" will be as much as 50 km / h! True, this pleasure will not be long - just a couple of kilometers, then again it's time to switch to gasoline.
In addition to these "options", the new cars of the Ukrainian police at traffic lights themselves will turn off the engines. You can imagine how, catching up with the offender, the hybrid Toyota “rushes” at a speed of as much as 50 km / h, and even stalls at a traffic light to save gasoline ...
Eh! .. After this, it remains only to adopt the Georgian experience and put glass - no, not police stations, but garages, so that the law enforcement officers should not even think about merging fuel. This is the only way to overshadow our practice with renaming ...
Part II. “Remember, never change the truth. Change the truth "
New old french politics
Syria does not have a “transitional government”, but France is ready to recognize it. There are no buffer zones in Syria, but France already knows how to protect them.
A hundred or so days ago in France, the president changed, but the policy did not change.
Last year, a democratic French journalist named BAL, a supporter of the philosophy of bomb strikes, a supporter of all the “oppositions” in the world, beginning with the Yugoslav one, and a fan of buffer and flightless zones, almost in an orderly manner advised his friend Monsieur Sarkozy to recognize the new government of Libya . President of a friend's advice heed, forgetting even to share the geopolitical news with his foreign minister (he found out about it from the morning newspapers, and, they say, dropped a cup of Arabica coffee on an oriental carpet).
In the current year, at the end of August, the new French President Monsieur Hollande did a loud statement: addressed the Syrian opposition with a proposal to create a transitional government - and immediately declared its readiness to recognize it. He stated this, of course, on behalf of the country: “France demands from the Syrian opposition to create a transitional government, representative, which could become a legitimate representative of the new Syria. We recognize the government of new Syria as soon as it is created. ”
Does Monsieur Bernard-Henri Levy, abbreviated BAL, give indications to Hollande? No, I have not heard about their palace friendship yet ... Or is Burkhan Galyun, the Syrian sociologist with a Parisian registration, the former leader of the SNA, advises Hollande?
So far it is only known that Francois Hollande, who received the nickname “Bilderberg Puppet” from the American journalist Kurt Nimmo, shared its plans for recognizing the non-existent transitional government of Syria with democratic intelligence services: the CIA and MI-6.
Taking into account the experience of his predecessor, who was also very in a hurry to become the first in all, Hollande did not offend his foreign minister either.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, whom Hollande, following the CIA and MI-6, reported on his progressive democratic plans for Syria, was given the opportunity to take the initiative. The Foreign Minister pushed a speech in which сказалthat the buffer zones on the borders of Syria will need to be protected from the air. And he added that buffer zones must also be protected from air threats, therefore it is necessary to locate air defense systems nearby.
Not otherwise, Hollande and Fabius yearn for colonial times! Therefore, pompous speeches are pushed from the balconies. However, it will not be easy for them to implement the imperialistic ways: first, the legal president of this country B. Assad will not approve the idea of “protecting” buffer zones in Syria; secondly, the Syrian "opposition" is so fragmented that it does not even dare to dream of its own single command, not to mention the government (what hinted Hollande American officials).
If one recognizes Hollande and Fabius in Syria, it is al Qaeda. This is the only well-organized force that does not make it difficult to nominate candidates for the posts of Syrian ministers and the president, as well as the formation of a democratic jihad program in which the interests of France can be taken into account in the interests of the United States.
Korean truth in Japanese textbooks
About disputed islands
28 August it became known that South Koreans finally found evidence of rights to the islands, because of which they recently had an argument with the Japanese, who decided to defend the truth in the International Court of Justice. Oh, the Japanese said to their head about this trial ...
Background of the question is as follows. 19 August Republic of Korea has established on one of the two islands, Dokdo (Takeshima, Liancourt), claimed by Japan, the monument: a stone with a height of 1,2 m, on the front side of which the inscription “Dokto” is stamped, and on the back side is the “Republic of Korea”. At the ceremony of setting the stone, the Minister of Government Administration and Security Myung Hyun Gyu said: "The monument to Dokdo, expressing the will of the people, will become a symbol of Korean sovereignty and the desire to protect the islands."
Having learned about such a thing, the Japanese said to the Koreans: let's consider the question of the ownership of the islands in the International Court of Justice. Koreans refused to sue. According to them, to sue for these islands is the same as sucking a guest’s own house. RK replied to Japan with a refusal, finding the raised question "absolutely not worthy of attention."
The Japanese were offended and gathered to go to court, being sure: they would not award the island to the Koreans, because the latter have no island rights.
But Koreans knew where to look for rights. And the most that neither is "absolute".
Evidence that the islands are Korean, Korean found... in Japanese textbooks. Five different school textbooks and two geographical atlases of the late XIX - early XX centuries, approved by the Japanese Ministry of Education, explicitly state that Liancourt Island is the territory of Korea. Written with a pen - not cut down with an ax!
How Mursi became a critic of the Bahraini regime
The benefits of censorship
In Iran, they are able to correctly translate the speeches of foreign politicians.
Mohammed Mursi, the Egyptian President, during a visit to Tehran at the summit of the Non-Aligned Movement made a speech in which сказал about the repressive regime of Assad in Syria: "The revolution in Egypt was the beginning of the Arab spring, after it the revolution happened in Tunisia, then in Libya and Yemen, and today the revolution threatens the oppressive Syrian regime."
Mursi's speech was broadcast on Iranian television. An experienced translator instead of Syria carried the thought of the Egyptian president ... to Bahrain. So he said - about the Bahraini regime. And in the form “adapted” for Iran, Mursi’s speech was distributed through the Iranian media.
This is how Mr. President of Egypt, without knowing it, said the right speech. Iran sends soldiers to help Assad and opposes suppressing Shiite protests in Bahrain. So let Mursi serve as a conductor of the Arab spring in Bahrain!
Such translation censorship is a great example of how much can be achieved by replacing just one word. It is easy to imagine how quickly the Iranian media spread the news that Egypt officially supports the Shiites in Bahrain, at the same time sympathizing with the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria ... But it is even more interesting to imagine Romney knocking his Mormon boot on the Republican rostrum, declaring the American geopolitical enemy number one ... Qatar.
How is punished in America
Burn the holy books, urinate on dead bodies, give bribes, illegally trade weapons, kidnap people and kill - in the US it will get away with you
This week it became known that the Pentagon, which finally completed the relevant investigation, decided to punish those six soldiers who had burned in fifty or one hundred Koran in Afghanistan. The verdict of the military department of America was predictable: the Pentagon said that the holy Muslim books of the soldiers burned unintentionally and by mistake. Therefore, the military will be disciplined. Representative of the US Department of Defense I refuse publicly clarify what disciplinary marines will be subject to disciplinary action. The press speculates that this could be either a demotion, a fine, or a reprimand.
The Pentagon also promised to punish three other soldiers - also marines who were sealed on the notorious video that defeated the bodies of the murdered Taliban. Peeing on the bodies of the dead, the Americans "sharpened": wished the corpses of the "good day." The Marines called their actions a “golden shower”.
The Pentagon also prescribed a disciplinary penalty to these brave guys - and also did not say which one.
Obviously, an American soldier can burn holy Muslim books as much as he pleases or cast dead bodies on his body, promoting his vile deed through photographs and the Internet. In the form of punishment, famous fighters who defend democracy throughout the Arab world can get a week of “lips” or, in the worst case, a lowering in rank (which they will achieve by urinating). However, even such punishments can turn out to be an empty statement: after all, the Pentagon will lie down and take it cheaply.
It has long been known that America in every Arab sees a terrorist and in every person who professes Islam is a mortal enemy. The very word “Islamist” already has both an insulting and an accusing sense.
Lt. Col. Matthew E. Dooley, lecturer at Joint Forces Staff College (military academy, where middle-level officers are trained), served earlier in Bosnia, Iraq, Kuwait, with many awards, in July 2011 presented listeners curious presentation. In his lecture, the lieutenant colonel argued that for the destruction of the holy Muslim cities of Mecca and Medina, the United States, if necessary, should use "the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki." Dooley believes that there is no “moderate Islam”. “This barbaric ideology can no longer be tolerated,” he said in a presentation he distributed on the Internet. Mr. Dooley is totally irreconcilable towards Islam. In his presentation he said: “They hate everything that you stand for, and can never coexist with you unless you submit to them.” He added that in this war America will have the right to ignore the provisions of the Geneva Convention laying down the rules for armed conflicts as “outdated”.
Later, in April 2012, there was a silent scandal over the presentation and, in general, the anti-Islamic lectures of the American military headquarters teacher. However, Dooley was not fired. In connection with the complaint to the Pentagon of one of the listeners and the noise in the media, he was only removed from his lectures; he is still works in college (in which position, not reported).
In the course of the scandal, it became clear something else. It turns out that instructive anti-Muslim materials were contained in special FBI training courses. (Perhaps knowing this, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel was so fearless in military pedagogy).
General Martin Dempsey, Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after the scandal acted at a press conference with a brief statement: “It was simply unacceptable, such statements contradict our values and, in addition, do not meet academic criteria. It was not a polemic with liberal thought, but something unacceptable and irresponsible from an academic point of view. ” And the FBI reported on the decision change some "overly anti-Islamic educational programs."
It seems that all these are empty declarations. After all, the anti-Islamic policy of the United States goes far beyond the "training courses" or the burning of the Koran. She forgives US citizens and killing Muslims.
In late August, the most humane court in the world - the District Court of North Carolina - issued another fine to the private "security" company "Blackwater", which was engaged in illegal arms trafficking, kidnapping, and threw officials millions of bribes and courage to kill civilians. The victims of the arbitrariness of the company's employees, it is necessary to clarify, were not Americans, but Iraqis.
16 September 2007 of the year "Blackwater" employees shot in Baghdad, in Nisur Square, cars of peaceful Iraqis are rushing about their affairs. 17 people were killed, including children, and 20 - injured. In Iraq, the “guards” were convenient to kill: they, like diplomats, enjoyed immunity in the US-occupied territory. The reason for the shooting? He was absent. No one organized an attack. In America, the murderers have not suffered any punishment; judge I decidedthat the five shooters who pleaded not guilty, it is enough to dismiss the company. The brave American guys made some noise in Iraq - so why should we put them in jail now?
The press leaked information that these bravest guys not only killed, but also were engaged abductions, organized sabotage and transported people to secret prisons - but no longer of their own accord, but according to CIA special missions. In Iraq, these former military and special agents, who had been contracted by the guards, were carrying out tasks to ensure the safety of the tuples of American diplomats. Thus, the company has serious customers with a large budget and a solid “roof”. And who will remember the division of branches of power in the USA?
Russian Foreign Ministry Commissioner for Human Rights, Democracy and Supreme Law Konstantin Dolgov the other day сказал about soft court decisions against Blackwater, the following: “... Despite the scandalous experience with Blackwater, the US military and foreign affairs agencies continue to actively use the services of contract soldiers, in particular, to do dirty work in areas of armed conflict. Such "outsourcing" of state functions by private firms allows the US government to avoid responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law. " K. Dolgov added: “The Blackwater case is a vivid example of the impunity of private security companies for gross violations of human rights standards. The situation is the result of inconsistent and selective actions by the American authorities, ignoring the rights of Iraqis, victims of crime by employees of private security companies. ”
In order to make the right decision on the “case” and the company could obtain a license for further work in Iraq, Blackwater offered a bribe of a million dollars to the Iraqi Ministry of Internal Affairs. By the way, the company's cooperation with the State Department lasted another two years - until the new scandal.
The firm, which by that time, due to constant scandals, had already changed three names: “Blackwater”, “Zi-services” and “Academy”, was caught in the illegal arms trade with Afghanistan and illegal training of the military in Sudan and Thailand. The company managed to pay off justice by paying State Department 42 million dollars "compensation."
This week, the Academy responded to the District Court of North Carolina in three cases at once: on the story of the said bribe to the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior; on illegal arms transfers to Afghanistan and Iraq; on weapons “cooperation” with Canada, Sweden, Denmark and Sudan - without a license from the State Department.
The company is big again fined - seven and a half million. But is it big? .. After all, from just one legitimate activity this “security company” receives income of up to three hundred million dollars a year. In addition, the US Department of Justice, closing the case, completely stopped the investigation of the firm’s excessive activity.
Yes, the most important thing: the humane judge asked the American "guards" to make a promise to continue to behave well. And they promised. Maybe even the Bible swore. Do not forget to cross your fingers.
Of course, people who kill Iraqis — because it’s accepted in America that all Muslims are considered terrorists a priori — and who immediately sell weapons to Iraqis will behave well. For example, they will buy a couple of licenses for trade and hunting from the State Department ...

Smokers (and not always tobacco) teenagers in doorways and doorways, you know, do not fall, but the wolf on the screen - falls. Homeless people on the benches at the stations do not fall, but “Well, wait!” Falls ... So, maybe, you need to start cleaning things up not from the wolf on the TV?
Initially, representatives of the Russian TV channels decided to cut out smoking scenes from “Well, wait a minute!”, But then they remembered that other heroes like to drag on in the Soviet animation, and not all are completely negative, like a wolf or an old woman Shapoklyak. Smokers are quite friendly captain Vrungel and the favorite of all the pioneers of the crocodile Gena. Zaporozhye Cossacks from the famous cartoon series are also smoking. If all these “forbidden scenes” are cut out, then what then will remain? ..
In order to get out of a difficult situation, they proposed to equate these cartoons to the animated classics, which should not fall under the new law. But at the same time it becomes unclear what exactly to consider as classics and where the border between classics and non-classics is located. For example, the film “Seventeen Moments of Spring,” which, of course, teaches the younger generation of patriotism, is a classic. But there Stirlitz, you know, smokes, and Professor Pleischner is thrown out of the window. And if it comes to that, then our lawmakers and you may well decide that not all modern children will understand correctly why this Soviet citizen Isaev is in the form of a standard of the SS ...
The Diamond Hand is also a classic. But what to do with Semyon Semyonchev Gorbunkov, who gets drunk "in firewood" in the "Weeping Willow", breaks the glass, and all this also gets away with it because he is connected with the police. Yes, there is generally a corruption component in the Ministry of Internal Affairs smells, and not just harmful content for the modern overly impressionable child!
And talking cartoon hedgehogs, bears, horses and other animals, it turns out, can generally bring children to insanity, which is also completely unacceptable for our healthy society, if we proceed from the letter of the law.
In general, the same “Seventeen Moments of Spring” will have to be retaken in a new way in approximately the following format: Colonel Isaev walks around the offices of the Third Reich in Soviet form so that today's children know for sure who the Soviet intelligence agent is in the film. Instead of a regular cigarette, he takes an electronic cigarette out of his pocket with the inscription “Made in the USSR. On health! "Or chewing gum" Little Man-Healthy. " Professor Pleischner in one of the series pretends to take poison, but in fact swallows a capsule of the drug against the flu and is completely healthy (without fever and runny nose) jumping into the window where Bruce Willis saves him, quietly lurking near the window on the Chinook helicopter ... In general, everyone is alive and well - no one even cursed delight. Somehow, so that the law does not break ...
Ukrainian "green"
Soon, the Ukrainian police will be the most environmentally friendly police in the world. In order to finally stop their cars from polluting the atmosphere, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine decided to transfer its employees to "green cars". Greens are not in color, but in terms of exhaust. Now every self-respecting Ukrainian policeman will move around the city and pursue criminals in a Toyota Prius with hybrid powerplants. It is reported that for Ukraine, the Japanese manufacturer makes a big discount, and each new patrol car will cost the Ministry of Internal Affairs "only" 28,5 thousand dollars (about 890 thousand rubles) ... And such machines are planned to purchase 1200 units totaling more than 34 million dollars.
Now Ukrainian law enforcement officers will be able to reduce the emission of harmful gases into the Ukrainian atmosphere by 70%. This is possible due to the fact that the car can move not only on gasoline, but also on electricity, and when driving on electricity, the maximum speed of the police "rocket" will be as much as 50 km / h! True, this pleasure will not be long - just a couple of kilometers, then again it's time to switch to gasoline.
In addition to these "options", the new cars of the Ukrainian police at traffic lights themselves will turn off the engines. You can imagine how, catching up with the offender, the hybrid Toyota “rushes” at a speed of as much as 50 km / h, and even stalls at a traffic light to save gasoline ...
Eh! .. After this, it remains only to adopt the Georgian experience and put glass - no, not police stations, but garages, so that the law enforcement officers should not even think about merging fuel. This is the only way to overshadow our practice with renaming ...
Part II. “Remember, never change the truth. Change the truth "
New old french politics
Syria does not have a “transitional government”, but France is ready to recognize it. There are no buffer zones in Syria, but France already knows how to protect them.
A hundred or so days ago in France, the president changed, but the policy did not change.
Last year, a democratic French journalist named BAL, a supporter of the philosophy of bomb strikes, a supporter of all the “oppositions” in the world, beginning with the Yugoslav one, and a fan of buffer and flightless zones, almost in an orderly manner advised his friend Monsieur Sarkozy to recognize the new government of Libya . President of a friend's advice heed, forgetting even to share the geopolitical news with his foreign minister (he found out about it from the morning newspapers, and, they say, dropped a cup of Arabica coffee on an oriental carpet).
In the current year, at the end of August, the new French President Monsieur Hollande did a loud statement: addressed the Syrian opposition with a proposal to create a transitional government - and immediately declared its readiness to recognize it. He stated this, of course, on behalf of the country: “France demands from the Syrian opposition to create a transitional government, representative, which could become a legitimate representative of the new Syria. We recognize the government of new Syria as soon as it is created. ”
Does Monsieur Bernard-Henri Levy, abbreviated BAL, give indications to Hollande? No, I have not heard about their palace friendship yet ... Or is Burkhan Galyun, the Syrian sociologist with a Parisian registration, the former leader of the SNA, advises Hollande?
So far it is only known that Francois Hollande, who received the nickname “Bilderberg Puppet” from the American journalist Kurt Nimmo, shared its plans for recognizing the non-existent transitional government of Syria with democratic intelligence services: the CIA and MI-6.
Taking into account the experience of his predecessor, who was also very in a hurry to become the first in all, Hollande did not offend his foreign minister either.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, whom Hollande, following the CIA and MI-6, reported on his progressive democratic plans for Syria, was given the opportunity to take the initiative. The Foreign Minister pushed a speech in which сказалthat the buffer zones on the borders of Syria will need to be protected from the air. And he added that buffer zones must also be protected from air threats, therefore it is necessary to locate air defense systems nearby.
Not otherwise, Hollande and Fabius yearn for colonial times! Therefore, pompous speeches are pushed from the balconies. However, it will not be easy for them to implement the imperialistic ways: first, the legal president of this country B. Assad will not approve the idea of “protecting” buffer zones in Syria; secondly, the Syrian "opposition" is so fragmented that it does not even dare to dream of its own single command, not to mention the government (what hinted Hollande American officials).
If one recognizes Hollande and Fabius in Syria, it is al Qaeda. This is the only well-organized force that does not make it difficult to nominate candidates for the posts of Syrian ministers and the president, as well as the formation of a democratic jihad program in which the interests of France can be taken into account in the interests of the United States.
Korean truth in Japanese textbooks
About disputed islands
28 August it became known that South Koreans finally found evidence of rights to the islands, because of which they recently had an argument with the Japanese, who decided to defend the truth in the International Court of Justice. Oh, the Japanese said to their head about this trial ...
Background of the question is as follows. 19 August Republic of Korea has established on one of the two islands, Dokdo (Takeshima, Liancourt), claimed by Japan, the monument: a stone with a height of 1,2 m, on the front side of which the inscription “Dokto” is stamped, and on the back side is the “Republic of Korea”. At the ceremony of setting the stone, the Minister of Government Administration and Security Myung Hyun Gyu said: "The monument to Dokdo, expressing the will of the people, will become a symbol of Korean sovereignty and the desire to protect the islands."
Having learned about such a thing, the Japanese said to the Koreans: let's consider the question of the ownership of the islands in the International Court of Justice. Koreans refused to sue. According to them, to sue for these islands is the same as sucking a guest’s own house. RK replied to Japan with a refusal, finding the raised question "absolutely not worthy of attention."
The Japanese were offended and gathered to go to court, being sure: they would not award the island to the Koreans, because the latter have no island rights.
But Koreans knew where to look for rights. And the most that neither is "absolute".
Evidence that the islands are Korean, Korean found... in Japanese textbooks. Five different school textbooks and two geographical atlases of the late XIX - early XX centuries, approved by the Japanese Ministry of Education, explicitly state that Liancourt Island is the territory of Korea. Written with a pen - not cut down with an ax!
How Mursi became a critic of the Bahraini regime
The benefits of censorship
In Iran, they are able to correctly translate the speeches of foreign politicians.
Mohammed Mursi, the Egyptian President, during a visit to Tehran at the summit of the Non-Aligned Movement made a speech in which сказал about the repressive regime of Assad in Syria: "The revolution in Egypt was the beginning of the Arab spring, after it the revolution happened in Tunisia, then in Libya and Yemen, and today the revolution threatens the oppressive Syrian regime."
Mursi's speech was broadcast on Iranian television. An experienced translator instead of Syria carried the thought of the Egyptian president ... to Bahrain. So he said - about the Bahraini regime. And in the form “adapted” for Iran, Mursi’s speech was distributed through the Iranian media.
This is how Mr. President of Egypt, without knowing it, said the right speech. Iran sends soldiers to help Assad and opposes suppressing Shiite protests in Bahrain. So let Mursi serve as a conductor of the Arab spring in Bahrain!
Such translation censorship is a great example of how much can be achieved by replacing just one word. It is easy to imagine how quickly the Iranian media spread the news that Egypt officially supports the Shiites in Bahrain, at the same time sympathizing with the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria ... But it is even more interesting to imagine Romney knocking his Mormon boot on the Republican rostrum, declaring the American geopolitical enemy number one ... Qatar.
How is punished in America
Burn the holy books, urinate on dead bodies, give bribes, illegally trade weapons, kidnap people and kill - in the US it will get away with you
This week it became known that the Pentagon, which finally completed the relevant investigation, decided to punish those six soldiers who had burned in fifty or one hundred Koran in Afghanistan. The verdict of the military department of America was predictable: the Pentagon said that the holy Muslim books of the soldiers burned unintentionally and by mistake. Therefore, the military will be disciplined. Representative of the US Department of Defense I refuse publicly clarify what disciplinary marines will be subject to disciplinary action. The press speculates that this could be either a demotion, a fine, or a reprimand.
The Pentagon also promised to punish three other soldiers - also marines who were sealed on the notorious video that defeated the bodies of the murdered Taliban. Peeing on the bodies of the dead, the Americans "sharpened": wished the corpses of the "good day." The Marines called their actions a “golden shower”.
The Pentagon also prescribed a disciplinary penalty to these brave guys - and also did not say which one.
Obviously, an American soldier can burn holy Muslim books as much as he pleases or cast dead bodies on his body, promoting his vile deed through photographs and the Internet. In the form of punishment, famous fighters who defend democracy throughout the Arab world can get a week of “lips” or, in the worst case, a lowering in rank (which they will achieve by urinating). However, even such punishments can turn out to be an empty statement: after all, the Pentagon will lie down and take it cheaply.
It has long been known that America in every Arab sees a terrorist and in every person who professes Islam is a mortal enemy. The very word “Islamist” already has both an insulting and an accusing sense.
Lt. Col. Matthew E. Dooley, lecturer at Joint Forces Staff College (military academy, where middle-level officers are trained), served earlier in Bosnia, Iraq, Kuwait, with many awards, in July 2011 presented listeners curious presentation. In his lecture, the lieutenant colonel argued that for the destruction of the holy Muslim cities of Mecca and Medina, the United States, if necessary, should use "the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki." Dooley believes that there is no “moderate Islam”. “This barbaric ideology can no longer be tolerated,” he said in a presentation he distributed on the Internet. Mr. Dooley is totally irreconcilable towards Islam. In his presentation he said: “They hate everything that you stand for, and can never coexist with you unless you submit to them.” He added that in this war America will have the right to ignore the provisions of the Geneva Convention laying down the rules for armed conflicts as “outdated”.
Later, in April 2012, there was a silent scandal over the presentation and, in general, the anti-Islamic lectures of the American military headquarters teacher. However, Dooley was not fired. In connection with the complaint to the Pentagon of one of the listeners and the noise in the media, he was only removed from his lectures; he is still works in college (in which position, not reported).
In the course of the scandal, it became clear something else. It turns out that instructive anti-Muslim materials were contained in special FBI training courses. (Perhaps knowing this, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel was so fearless in military pedagogy).
General Martin Dempsey, Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after the scandal acted at a press conference with a brief statement: “It was simply unacceptable, such statements contradict our values and, in addition, do not meet academic criteria. It was not a polemic with liberal thought, but something unacceptable and irresponsible from an academic point of view. ” And the FBI reported on the decision change some "overly anti-Islamic educational programs."
It seems that all these are empty declarations. After all, the anti-Islamic policy of the United States goes far beyond the "training courses" or the burning of the Koran. She forgives US citizens and killing Muslims.
In late August, the most humane court in the world - the District Court of North Carolina - issued another fine to the private "security" company "Blackwater", which was engaged in illegal arms trafficking, kidnapping, and threw officials millions of bribes and courage to kill civilians. The victims of the arbitrariness of the company's employees, it is necessary to clarify, were not Americans, but Iraqis.
16 September 2007 of the year "Blackwater" employees shot in Baghdad, in Nisur Square, cars of peaceful Iraqis are rushing about their affairs. 17 people were killed, including children, and 20 - injured. In Iraq, the “guards” were convenient to kill: they, like diplomats, enjoyed immunity in the US-occupied territory. The reason for the shooting? He was absent. No one organized an attack. In America, the murderers have not suffered any punishment; judge I decidedthat the five shooters who pleaded not guilty, it is enough to dismiss the company. The brave American guys made some noise in Iraq - so why should we put them in jail now?
The press leaked information that these bravest guys not only killed, but also were engaged abductions, organized sabotage and transported people to secret prisons - but no longer of their own accord, but according to CIA special missions. In Iraq, these former military and special agents, who had been contracted by the guards, were carrying out tasks to ensure the safety of the tuples of American diplomats. Thus, the company has serious customers with a large budget and a solid “roof”. And who will remember the division of branches of power in the USA?
Russian Foreign Ministry Commissioner for Human Rights, Democracy and Supreme Law Konstantin Dolgov the other day сказал about soft court decisions against Blackwater, the following: “... Despite the scandalous experience with Blackwater, the US military and foreign affairs agencies continue to actively use the services of contract soldiers, in particular, to do dirty work in areas of armed conflict. Such "outsourcing" of state functions by private firms allows the US government to avoid responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law. " K. Dolgov added: “The Blackwater case is a vivid example of the impunity of private security companies for gross violations of human rights standards. The situation is the result of inconsistent and selective actions by the American authorities, ignoring the rights of Iraqis, victims of crime by employees of private security companies. ”
In order to make the right decision on the “case” and the company could obtain a license for further work in Iraq, Blackwater offered a bribe of a million dollars to the Iraqi Ministry of Internal Affairs. By the way, the company's cooperation with the State Department lasted another two years - until the new scandal.
The firm, which by that time, due to constant scandals, had already changed three names: “Blackwater”, “Zi-services” and “Academy”, was caught in the illegal arms trade with Afghanistan and illegal training of the military in Sudan and Thailand. The company managed to pay off justice by paying State Department 42 million dollars "compensation."
This week, the Academy responded to the District Court of North Carolina in three cases at once: on the story of the said bribe to the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior; on illegal arms transfers to Afghanistan and Iraq; on weapons “cooperation” with Canada, Sweden, Denmark and Sudan - without a license from the State Department.
The company is big again fined - seven and a half million. But is it big? .. After all, from just one legitimate activity this “security company” receives income of up to three hundred million dollars a year. In addition, the US Department of Justice, closing the case, completely stopped the investigation of the firm’s excessive activity.
Yes, the most important thing: the humane judge asked the American "guards" to make a promise to continue to behave well. And they promised. Maybe even the Bible swore. Do not forget to cross your fingers.
Of course, people who kill Iraqis — because it’s accepted in America that all Muslims are considered terrorists a priori — and who immediately sell weapons to Iraqis will behave well. For example, they will buy a couple of licenses for trade and hunting from the State Department ...
