Part I. "I am tormented by vague doubts ..."
Explosive craving for smoking
October 9 on the notorious Donguz test site near Orenburg again thundered and blazed. Tons of shells flew into the air, sowing fragments within a radius of several kilometers. Glass of houses flew out together with wooden frames, the facades of buildings in the villages located near the landfill for the disposal of ammunition suffered. The victim was a single person - Senior Lieutenant Titov, the commander of the rigging company, the personnel of which carried out the measures for loading and unloading projectiles. Alexey Titov, as he himself reports, was helped to survive by a tank filled with water. Allegedly, after Titov brought all the soldiers to a safe place, he was the only one left at an unsafe distance from the place of fire and explosions.
As one of the main reasons for the VSO of the Investigative Committee of Russia on the Orenburg region, he called a violation of security measures, namely smoking. According to representatives of the Military Investigation Department, a banal bad habit led to a fire and an explosion of 4 thousands of tons of ammunition. And after such assumptions, like a wave of a magic wand, Private Kasatkin appeared at once, who "confessed everything" at once. Eh, the honest privates in our country are not translated yet! .. Kasatkin turned out to be so honest that he even said that being in the immediate vicinity of the ammunition, he smoked not only him, but also another of his fellow workers - a certain Krasnov. According to the honest soldier Kasatkin, he threw an exceptionally undressed cigarette butt (apparently, directly into the box with the shells), and Krasnov threw around the same place an unexpectedly extinct cigarette. The fire started, explosions started ... What happened next, Kasatkin either did not inform, or this information was not disclosed, but in the end everything is still leading to the fact that Lieutenant Titov saved everyone, but for some reason did not manage to get out of the dangerous area .
If so, then Senior Lieutenant Titov can even now present a state award, and private Kasatkin, who is fond of smoking in the vicinity of shells, can be subjected to the most cruel punishment, but nobody does it. The fact is that there are already a lot of inconsistencies in all this stories. Is the first inconsistency related to where the commanding fathers looked at all at the time when Kasatkin and Krasnov were smoking while sitting on boxes of ammunition? The second discrepancy: why the leadership of the military unit did not take care of such an elementary standard as the presence of a fire truck at the place of loading and unloading shells? The third discrepancy: why the leadership of that part still (after a series of incidents) uses soldiers-conscripts for utilization work, although these works should be carried out exclusively by professional military personnel?
As a result, we can hardly assume that the “hero” will be given to Senior Lieutenant Titov, but they can punish him to the fullest extent with the “malicious smoker”, but ordinary Kasatkin, who is a crystal honest person. After all, this crystally honest fighter will not say that the authorities have not provided for elementary safety standards at the test site, that smoking on the “Donguz” is a common thing not only among the rank and file, but also among the officers, that the most ordinary personnel and negligent attitude to the solution of such a problem can be composed by epic by senior officers. And now the fact that the eldest (by rank) of all the guilty may be just Starley Titov, almost no doubt. Well, in fact, is it possible that colonels and generals are guilty of something in our country? Of course not. They know that in the event of a total shortage of "goods" in the warehouse, there can always be Kasatkins and Krasnovs, who have an ineradicable craving for smoking. Bach - and any shortage cleared in the pure Orenburg air ...
Gay paratroopers
Liberal domestic media continue to be horrified by the perfidious attack of two dozen people who hid their faces with medical masks on such a Moscow institution as a gay club. At the same time, among the indicated kind of media, it seems that there is some kind of hidden “social competition” in terms of who will give out the greatest number of victims at the hands of the aggressors in relation to freedom-loving and other friendly representatives not quite male. In particular, the radio station Ekho Moskvy, as it should reproduce the sound and causes the echo to resonate, counted four. Journalists from a number of other stations, channels and publications saw even more victims among the gay extras of the Moscow club: from six to ten.
It was last week. When the celebration of Coming-out, sacred for people with sexual twists, was celebrated in the stronghold of the Moscow LGBT movement, people broke out with exclamations “They ordered a fight?” Apparently, these comrades decided in their own way to help those who are here united in organizing the enchanting gay holiday. True, the participants for some reason did not experience the joy of the unexpected visit of new club customers, which, by the way, was captured on surveillance cameras. There were no smiles on the faces of the "celebrants", some urgently needed the "ladies 'room" to powder the nose, but not all had time to reach the "ladies' room ..."
In general, the holiday was celebrated in a big way, this could be the end of the story, but the story got a continuation in an unexpected way.
The other day, one of the candidates for the post of mayor in the most politically active city in Russia (Khimki), Oleg Mitvol, said that his office had been attacked. “Gifts to the studio” were delivered by people with baseball bats, who “put things in order” in the office, leaving behind Mitvol’s agitated materials and crumpled furniture. Supporters of Mitvol, who was once famous for its irreconcilable fight against sex minorities, argue that it was the representatives of these same sex minorities who committed the attack. If so, then it turns out that Moscow gays are no longer even the priests of obscure love cults, but also an entire army that has its flying squadrons (God forgive me, gay desanthur): they will put on their lips with scarlet lipstick, put baseball caps on their heads, they will take a bit in their hands, tighten their thongs and - let's go to Mitvol in Khimki ... And this is what! At this rate, Moscow gays will begin to bathe and tattoo on the lower part of the arm “For LGBT, brother!” On their sacred holiday in the fountains
"Open your face ..."
The representative of the Duma Committee on the media deputy Vadim Dengin in the week became one of the most talked about people on the Internet. Why did the Internet community show such attention to an ordinary deputy from the Liberal Democratic Party? The fact is that Mr. Dengin, along with a number of other like-minded people, suggested registering on social networks solely on the basis of passport data. I wanted to register in order to communicate with classmates or colleagues - enter the series, number and all the other attributes. Such a measure, according to the liberal Democrat Dengina, can help law enforcement agencies to combat the spread of child pornography, slander and other illegal publications on the Internet. The legislator is confident that since the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB will be able to more effectively detect those who are engaged in illegal activities in the global network.
The initiative, at first glance, is very good. With the phrase “combating the spread of child pornography”, I want to shake Vadim Evgenyevich his labor deputy’s hand. However, there is one nuance here. After all, our business is also executed in full compliance with the law when providing personal documents. Only then it turns out that the plant for the production of varnishes and paints, which has not paid taxes for two years, was designed for Ivan Ivanovich Tsutskin, who lives in the area of Kazan Station. A real estate office, which managed to “shoe” more than a dozen Russian citizens in real estate frauds, works under the direction of General Director Firdos Abdulloyev, who laid down a passport for 500 rubles in one of the country's institutions specializing in such activities and deported to his native Tajikistan FMS with one near Moscow construction projects ...
In this regard, it is worth expecting that the FSB officers, who are going to calculate slanderers and distributors of child porn on the Internet, will hardly have time to recalculate the corresponding accounts issued for homeless people, illegal immigrants and long departed comrades. And who will prevent to get an account beyond the reach of MP Dengin and Russian law enforcement officers?
If we consider that popular Russian social networks every day are visited by up to 50 millions of users from around the world, we can safely say that the FSB will have to expand. Therefore, if the initiative of the liberal Democrat Dengina is supported, then the Federal Security Service will be forced to batten employees with whole battalions. Imagine: a skyscraper of the FSB in Moscow alone, on the last fifty floors of which people in black sit and painstakingly check the multi-million accounts of Russian social networks, looking for illegal messages ...
In general, Zuckerberg, with his Facebook, will say thanks to MP Dengin. There is your passport and the gift is not right ...
"Plus me, plus me completely ..."
The proverb that you do not praise yourself, no one will praise it, this week was confirmed in the Moscow City Hall. As is known, the mayor’s office uses the “Our City” Internet portal, which ordinary citizens can use to express their suggestions for improving the work of city councils, to criticize, and also to praise officials for their good work. According to the mayor of Moscow, such a portal is designed to establish a better connection between the bureaucratic building and the residents of the capital, and therefore "Our City" must continue to develop.
However, the presence of "Our City" quite unexpectedly led to an entertaining story. Some employees of the city government, obviously, without waiting for public praise for their titanic work, decided to use the portal as intended. To this end, the officials of the Tsaritsyno, Perovo, Otradnoe district councils and a number of other municipalities of the capital decided to praise themselves. In particular, the deputy mayor of Moscow, Lyudmila Rakova, said that thanks to the technical capabilities, the mayor’s office discovered that from the same computers located in the offices of the administrations, laudatory comments were sent to each other about “excellent work”. At the same time, comments were sent on behalf of Muscovites, who were immensely pleased with the work of municipal officials.
So what? After all, representatives of the administration are also people, they also want banal civic caress, praise and encouragement in the form of positive comments. But after all, in fact, the townspeople - they are so ungrateful. You are here, you understand, you are struggling with traffic jams, you build cars correctly in playgrounds in the courtyards, in the hallways you wipe dirty words with your sleeves, and they don’t even draw lines in gratitude. Here are the officials themselves and scribbling about the following: “Thank you Boris Borisitch for our happy childhood and for the big puddle in the yard, in which all children under the age of 6 can swim” ...
Apparently, at the end of the year, the Moscow City Hall is counting positive "comments", on the basis of which Sergei Sobyanin personally issues the award. So the guys are practicing who will comment on whom. And whether it will be still, if you have to register with your passports to write a review ... Yes, then representatives of Moscow administrations will convey warm greetings to the deputy Dengin and will note it completely ...
Defense Ministry calls "och. Umeltsev"
An unexpected competition recently announced Anatoly Serdyukov. The Russian Ministry of Defense announces that among Russian citizens it is looking for talents who are able to offer research projects for no less than the solution of tasks related to the country's defense capability. Until December 8, the main military department of the country accepts applications for projects related to reconnaissance, camouflage, electronic warfare, life support and other military-technical areas.
It is reported that from now on, any literate person can offer the defense department his own workings, as was the case with Mikhail Kalashnikov.
Now we should expect that Russia will be a kind of casting for the project of the Ministry. This will certainly help numerous talents to show their abilities.
But here again, these crappy languages say that the Ministry itself, to which huge amounts of money are being allocated for projects in the military-industrial complex, has dried up its creative potentials. And therefore, Anatoly Serdyukov decided to go to the people: you see, some specialist from the mountain aul will nevertheless give advice on how to solve technical problems with the deep modernization of “Admiral Gorshkov”, which in no way can begin to surf the expanses of the world ocean Indian chanting name "Vikramaditya." It’s not for nothing that the Minister of Defense says that he hopes to see “Admiral Gorshkov” already in the summer of next year on the sea surface. Recall that work is accepted until December 8 - time before the summer should be enough ...
Perhaps, someone from the Ural village will throw up the idea of how to deal with the American system of European missile defense, using a 1.5-liter plastic bottle, a scotch and a gypsy needle. Then no insinuations of the American administration will definitely be terrible to us ...
Part II. “The more I recognize people, the more I value my dog”
Tula cargo
About twelve boxes that did not fall into Damascus
In the evening of October 10, the Airbus A320 of Syrian Air Airlines, peacefully flying from Vnukovo to Damascus International Airport, was forcibly seated in Ankara. Moreover, the crew and passengers tentatively frightened two F-16 fighters belonging to the Turkish Air Force.
The Turks decided that the passenger airbus transports military cargo intended for the army of Bashar al-Assad. Turkish Premier with a metallic note in his voice He accused Russia in the supply of Syria ammunition (according to other information, also in the supply of military equipment, produced by one of the Russian organizations of the military-industrial complex), however, with evidence I decided not to hurry.
The plane was landed, and the Turkish bloodhounds began to delve intensively into the luggage compartment, sometimes resembling homeless people in garbage cans. What did they expect to find there? Modernized Russian Tanks? "Pinocchio"? Missiles with nuclear warheads and a special suitcase for President Assad?
While the detectives worked, the passengers spent the night on the plane. Sometimes they were let loose on the airfield. Not for long.
In total, the search for Russian ammunition on the plane took eight hours from the Turks. 12 mailboxes were found, the contents of which Turkey did not spread. The boxes were confiscated, the plane was released.
Then Turkey began an information campaign. Russian Ambassador to Ankara, Vladimir Ivanovsky caused in the Turkish Foreign Ministry and began to demand an explanation from him. And what could he explain, if he himself had just learned from the Turks about the “forbidden cargo”?
Moscow, in response, also demanded an explanation from Ankara. In the Russian Foreign Ministry, they were indignant at how Russians in Ankara treated the 17, the passengers of the Airbus: people were kept in the 8 plane for hours without food. In addition, the Russian diplomatic mission found out about what happened ... from the press.
The Syrian airline has decided to file a complaint about the behavior of the Turkish side to the International aviation the federation and human rights organizations, and the SANA news agency, with its inherent clarity, reported, citing an unnamed Russian source, that the Kremlin did not need to use passenger aircraft to deliver military cargo. The Russian Federation continues to fulfill its obligations under military contracts with Damascus concluded prior to the adoption of sanctions by the UN Security Council.
Hot comrades from the Syrian Foreign Ministry went even further: publicly accused Turkish Prime Minister in a lie. As stated in the statement of the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan "continues to lie in order to justify the hostile attitude of his government towards Syria." The Foreign Ministry stressed that all the cargo aircraft had the necessary documents and did not contain weapons or any other illegal goods.
However, the sleuths of Mr. Erdogan rummaged in the luggage compartment is not in vain. Journalists from "Kommersant" got to the bottom of the truth: it turns out, on board the ship "Syrian Air" was twelve boxes with technical elements for radar stations of air defense systems. This cargo did not require special design, since it did not pose a danger to either the crew members or the aircraft, and its transportation did not violate international laws.
The Russian FSB immediately became interested in the incident in Ankara - for its own reasons. They are going to start checking on the fact of leakage of information about transportation. Our "feds" believe that the Turkish authorities were more likely to know about the equipment on board, since otherwise they "would not have risked it" by forcibly putting a civilian airbus on board.
Genuine interest in what happened was also shown in distant America. The fact that the Russian policy on the supply of dual-use equipment to Syria is morally untenable, said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. Along the way, she noted that the Turks gave Washington comprehensive information about the cargo on board the aircraft. However, the State Department spokeswoman did not share this information with journalists. But Washington had to admit that, formally, Moscow did not violate any prohibitions on deliveries to Syria. But for a democratic America, the only bad thing is that Moscow again noted in the incitement and complicity of the “al-Assad regime’s military machine.”
October 12 Vladimir Putin held an operational meeting of the Security Council, after which Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke. is he сказалthat the liner was transporting "electrical equipment for radar, dual-use equipment, but not prohibited by any international conventions." At the same time, Comrade Lavrov denied R.T. Erdogan’s statement that the plane allegedly transported Russian-made ammunition intended for the Syrian Ministry of Defense. “There were no weapons on board the intercepted aircraft, and there could not be any,” the minister explained. “There was a cargo that a legal Russian supplier sent to a legal client by legal means.” And now, according to the minister, “the supplier will demand the return of the cargo, which is his property.”
Source of the newspaper "Kommersant" сообщилthat the aircraft was transporting the products of the Tula Instrument Design Bureau. And on a civilian plane it was carrying it, experts say, that attempts to deliver cargo to Syria by traditional sea route run into open resistance from the international community.
It remains to add that now the same community is blocking Russia and the possibility of air cargo.
To top it off, the Turks left a hint to Russia that, they say, your South Stream gas pipeline in our sea economic zone will not go, we changed our minds. Or, perhaps, Erdogan can put the question squarely: if you are for Assad, then you are against your own economy, but if you turn the help to Assad, then you and I will remain good trading partners - and, as comrades Putin and Davutoglu said recently, through 5 years we will reach an annual turnover of one hundred billion dollars, and for such money it is worth fighting.
This is a very tricky strategy. Experts indicatethat with the possible fall of Bashar al-Assad and the establishment of a Sunni regime in Syria, loyal to the Turks, Qatari and Saudis, as well as fraternal America, the rosy prospect of building oil and gas pipelines from the Persian Gulf straight to Europe will immediately be drawn. Some people sleep and see how the strongest global competitor appears in Russia's Gazprom. There is no need to be a rocket scientist to understand how happy the western democracies will be from this turn of events, fed by the gas committee directly from Qatar.
There is only one “but”: the Assad army still needs to be defeated. If Syria will survive, Turkish searchlights will burst like a soap bubble. In the meantime, the Kurdish army is being formed near the Turkish borders, with Assad giving a green light ...
Winner of the European Union
Money "Dynamite King" continues to go to destination
Alfred Nobel did not want to go down in history as the "dynamite king" and the enemy of all living things, who earned millions on blood. That is why he established the prizes of his own name, of which the most prestigious of which today is considered the peace prize.
This award was honored, for example, by Mr. Mikhail S. Gorbachev - a man who started “perestroika” in the USSR, as a result of which everything that was built by the people who survived World War I, the bourgeois and socialist revolutions, then the civil war, collectivization was very quickly destroyed. , industrialization, camps, finally, the Great Patriotic and post-war reconstruction. "Scoops" began to look to the West with open awe, dreaming about jeans, Coca-Cola and pale green money.
Peace Prize was given to Barack Obama. The president of the United States received it in 2009, fighting for peace in two foreign countries at once — Iraq and Afghanistan. Later, against the will of Congress, he continued the work of democracy in Libya. And in general, the “Arab Spring”, they say, the White House owner took close to his Islamist heart.
It is strange that he did not receive a million dollars from dynamite committee members J. Bush Jr. (according to rumors, he was nominated, but the nominations are kept secret for fifty years).
The culmination of a perverted understanding of what the world is like on the planet, as well as of the world outlook, was the presentation of the October 12 award of the year 2012. The sum of approximately 1,2 million dollars was received ... no, not Lord Venediktov from Ekho Moskvy and not even an outstanding human rights activist Lyudmila Alekseeva (whom the Nobel committee could throw money on the 85 anniversary), the award went to no one at all (God, to whom same?), and ... In short, the Nobel Committee gave the award not to the individual, but to the European Union.
So what? How is this European Union worse than Gorbachev or Obama? Didn't the EU deal with Yugoslav issues when the fierce hordes of peacekeepers and cluster bomb bombs were required there? Wasn’t Europe, shaking hands with fraternal America, loudly rejoiced at the assassination of Gaddafi in Libya? Is it not France, a member of the EU, who now advocates for the “world community” to strike at Syria, ending the “regime” of Bashar al-Assad? And who is this nose in Mali? And isn't it in the EU countries that the police shoot rubber bullets at unarmed demonstrators, and thousands of strikes are taking place everywhere, and in Greece, there are general strikes? Has the eurozone not been plunged into the deepest quagmire of the crisis, which agitated even Barack Obama, who knows a lot about public debts? Unless economists and analysts do not write about a completely real collapse of the European Union, if only Mother Germany, dreaming of the “fifth Reich,” as some observers believe, doesn’t pull it out of the swamp,
Apparently, it's time to award the EU. Maybe the Nobel committee members are far from their lives and believe that 1,2 million will help overcome the crisis. Or maybe they believe that the “Fifth Reich” is an exclusively peaceful concept, without MP-40, MG-42 and other similar things. Or the managers of the Nobel Foundation in Oslo decided to award the EU because they already consider this formation of the single currency states historical? If you don’t give the prize today, tomorrow will be too late: one memory from the EU will remain - in the form of a chapter in textbooks.
The father of dynamite dreamed of a premium to wash off the blood from his own name - including the blood of his younger brother, who was killed by an explosion at a factory in 1864. However, for some mystical irony, the peace prize continues to be given to those who play explosive roles on planet Earth ...
Fabricated terrorist
About how FBI agents persuade American Muslims to blow something up
This week стало известноthat a nineteen-year-old boy named Adel Daud, a Chicagoan resident who, according to an American investigation, was going to blow up a Jeep Cherokee stuffed with explosives at a city bar, did not plead guilty and said that he was not a terrorist at all.
Efbeerovtsy arrested Daud exactly one month ago. Acting under cover, they contacted the suspect, pretending to be extremists wanting to end the damned America once and for all. The “extremists” were to hand over an explosive device to Daoud, which was activated through a mobile phone. The bomb in the car was inert. Daoud was taken when he activated an explosive device.
However, Daud, at the trial, rejected the accusations of terrorism, and his stubborn lawyer insists that the FBI special operation was purposely staged.
Reject not reject, but you can sit in jail for life. It was not in vain that agents disguised as bearded extremists who had been in close contact with Daud for more than half a year (and why so long?) Spent generous taxpayers' money, and now the judicial system is spending them.
The FBI operation was one of those allow to reveal “Potential jihadists”. This is a common practice in today's democratic America.
Daud was a typical “potential jihadist” —a desired sacrifice and relatively easy prey for FBI agents. While the Muslim was being watched, it turned out: he read the magazine Inspire (an online publication of jihadists), watched training videos, participated in online jihadist forums, where US policy was condemned. And once such a thing, they decided to "recruit" him.
However, he was not very good at giving in to agency provocations. More precisely, did not give in at all. I did not want to blow up America, and that's it. Daud tried to recruit at least six times in seven months. Finally, in May, Efbaer people managed to persuade Daoud via the Internet.
The court has no evidence that the "extremist" was able to use explosives, not to mention the manufacture of improvised bombs. He did not try to make or get any weapons. Doud himself was far from being a threat to America. He was persuaded to become a terrorist, an enemy of democracy. Many of these "enemies", artificially nurtured by FBI agents, are already sitting in US prisons, receiving sentences of 20-30 years. (And then US citizens are surprised: why are there so many prisoners in our country — already more than six million).
Agents object to their critics: they say, we have given an opportunity for an extremist to retreat from his bloody plans. But, firstly, the plans are not his, and, secondly, we should not forget that the “terrorist act” of the efbeer people tried to persuade their victim for seven months.
Adel's father crying, Ahmed Daoud, on trial сказалthat his son was always a good child.
The lawyer for the 19-year-old accused, Thomas Anthony Darkin, сказалThat there is a case of capture. “It was not his idea. This explosion is a government idea ... He is just a young guy. He just graduated from high school ... He is incredibly naive. "
The American rink of justice ruthlessly crushes Muslims inside the country, but encourages Islamist coups in North Africa and the Middle East. Western analysts, and with them the US congressmen, are calling President Obama for all this ... also "naive."
The difference between Obama and young Daud is that if the naive president of the United States, an idealist of Fukuyama’s sense, still believes in the triumph of democracy around the world, the schoolchild who found himself in the dock once and for all learned what “American values” are.
the Forbidden fruit is sweet
Secret agent protest
On the night of October 13 (i.e., from Friday to Saturday - at all your favorite drinkers) Miami police задержала US Secret Service Agent (USSS) Heron Francis Angler. A drunk man in the insole of an agent who ensured the safety of Barack Obama in the city was found lying on a street corner near a nightclub.
The secret mister did not give any signs of life, and the policemen decided that he was loaded with whiskey at the water line.
It was not so easy to patrol to deliver a special agent to the site. When the guardians began to search him, a USSS officer, flashing blood-filled bull's eyes, drove into one of the patrolmen in the jaw.
It is rumored that Mr. Engler, having drunk and fought, thus protested against the ban, recently officially, in the form of instructions, accepted by the US Secret Service. Bad-agent agents from the beginning of October are forbidden to drink alcohol not only during work, but also 10 hours before arrival at the service. And during business trips, agents should not drink alcohol in hotels and other places where the US President or other dignitaries stay. “Alcohol is allowed to be consumed only in moderate quantities during off-duty hours,” the statement says. That is, in unlimited quantities, which Mr. Engler, for example, is able to use, is no longer allowed to drink.
At the same time, agents were forbidden to disclose secret information and use social networks on the Internet. And this really does not go into any gate. To the agent - and did not disclose? ..
Funny instructions appeared not from scratch. The fact is that in June the American government let down disappointing results of the activities of alcoholics from the USSS, guarding the country's top officials and their relatives. Eternally drunk agents to the right and left divulge secret information, engaged in illegal listening, here and there illegally used weapons and committed sexual crimes.
The lustfulness of the agents had such a high degree that they not only hired two dozen prostitutes, five to six pieces per brother, but also tried on business trips to force female colleagues. And one USSS officer, waving a service pistol, threatened to shut down the strip club. The poor agent did not like the high club prices. This guy, who was dreaming, apparently, of solid Soviet pricing, said that the cost of dancing on the table and on his knees ... is contrary to federal laws.

Explosive craving for smoking
October 9 on the notorious Donguz test site near Orenburg again thundered and blazed. Tons of shells flew into the air, sowing fragments within a radius of several kilometers. Glass of houses flew out together with wooden frames, the facades of buildings in the villages located near the landfill for the disposal of ammunition suffered. The victim was a single person - Senior Lieutenant Titov, the commander of the rigging company, the personnel of which carried out the measures for loading and unloading projectiles.

In general, the holiday was celebrated in a big way, this could be the end of the story, but the story got a continuation in an unexpected way.
The other day, one of the candidates for the post of mayor in the most politically active city in Russia (Khimki), Oleg Mitvol, said that his office had been attacked. “Gifts to the studio” were delivered by people with baseball bats, who “put things in order” in the office, leaving behind Mitvol’s agitated materials and crumpled furniture. Supporters of Mitvol, who was once famous for its irreconcilable fight against sex minorities, argue that it was the representatives of these same sex minorities who committed the attack.

And this is what! At this rate, Moscow gays will begin to bathe and tattoo on the lower part of the arm “For LGBT, brother!” On their sacred holiday in the fountains
"Open your face ..."
The representative of the Duma Committee on the media deputy Vadim Dengin in the week became one of the most talked about people on the Internet. Why did the Internet community show such attention to an ordinary deputy from the Liberal Democratic Party? The fact is that Mr. Dengin, along with a number of other like-minded people, suggested registering on social networks solely on the basis of passport data. I wanted to register in order to communicate with classmates or colleagues - enter the series, number and all the other attributes. Such a measure, according to the liberal Democrat Dengina, can help law enforcement agencies to combat the spread of child pornography, slander and other illegal publications on the Internet. The legislator is confident that since the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB will be able to more effectively detect those who are engaged in illegal activities in the global network.
The initiative, at first glance, is very good. With the phrase “combating the spread of child pornography”, I want to shake Vadim Evgenyevich his labor deputy’s hand. However, there is one nuance here. After all, our business is also executed in full compliance with the law when providing personal documents. Only then it turns out that the plant for the production of varnishes and paints, which has not paid taxes for two years, was designed for Ivan Ivanovich Tsutskin, who lives in the area of Kazan Station. A real estate office, which managed to “shoe” more than a dozen Russian citizens in real estate frauds, works under the direction of General Director Firdos Abdulloyev, who laid down a passport for 500 rubles in one of the country's institutions specializing in such activities and deported to his native Tajikistan FMS with one near Moscow construction projects ...
In this regard, it is worth expecting that the FSB officers, who are going to calculate slanderers and distributors of child porn on the Internet, will hardly have time to recalculate the corresponding accounts issued for homeless people, illegal immigrants and long departed comrades. And who will prevent to get an account beyond the reach of MP Dengin and Russian law enforcement officers?
If we consider that popular Russian social networks every day are visited by up to 50 millions of users from around the world, we can safely say that the FSB will have to expand. Therefore, if the initiative of the liberal Democrat Dengina is supported, then the Federal Security Service will be forced to batten employees with whole battalions. Imagine: a skyscraper of the FSB in Moscow alone, on the last fifty floors of which people in black sit and painstakingly check the multi-million accounts of Russian social networks, looking for illegal messages ...
In general, Zuckerberg, with his Facebook, will say thanks to MP Dengin. There is your passport and the gift is not right ...
"Plus me, plus me completely ..."
The proverb that you do not praise yourself, no one will praise it, this week was confirmed in the Moscow City Hall. As is known, the mayor’s office uses the “Our City” Internet portal, which ordinary citizens can use to express their suggestions for improving the work of city councils, to criticize, and also to praise officials for their good work. According to the mayor of Moscow, such a portal is designed to establish a better connection between the bureaucratic building and the residents of the capital, and therefore "Our City" must continue to develop.
However, the presence of "Our City" quite unexpectedly led to an entertaining story. Some employees of the city government, obviously, without waiting for public praise for their titanic work, decided to use the portal as intended. To this end, the officials of the Tsaritsyno, Perovo, Otradnoe district councils and a number of other municipalities of the capital decided to praise themselves. In particular, the deputy mayor of Moscow, Lyudmila Rakova, said that thanks to the technical capabilities, the mayor’s office discovered that from the same computers located in the offices of the administrations, laudatory comments were sent to each other about “excellent work”. At the same time, comments were sent on behalf of Muscovites, who were immensely pleased with the work of municipal officials.
So what? After all, representatives of the administration are also people, they also want banal civic caress, praise and encouragement in the form of positive comments. But after all, in fact, the townspeople - they are so ungrateful. You are here, you understand, you are struggling with traffic jams, you build cars correctly in playgrounds in the courtyards, in the hallways you wipe dirty words with your sleeves, and they don’t even draw lines in gratitude. Here are the officials themselves and scribbling about the following: “Thank you Boris Borisitch for our happy childhood and for the big puddle in the yard, in which all children under the age of 6 can swim” ...
Apparently, at the end of the year, the Moscow City Hall is counting positive "comments", on the basis of which Sergei Sobyanin personally issues the award. So the guys are practicing who will comment on whom. And whether it will be still, if you have to register with your passports to write a review ... Yes, then representatives of Moscow administrations will convey warm greetings to the deputy Dengin and will note it completely ...
Defense Ministry calls "och. Umeltsev"
An unexpected competition recently announced Anatoly Serdyukov. The Russian Ministry of Defense announces that among Russian citizens it is looking for talents who are able to offer research projects for no less than the solution of tasks related to the country's defense capability. Until December 8, the main military department of the country accepts applications for projects related to reconnaissance, camouflage, electronic warfare, life support and other military-technical areas.
It is reported that from now on, any literate person can offer the defense department his own workings, as was the case with Mikhail Kalashnikov.
Now we should expect that Russia will be a kind of casting for the project of the Ministry. This will certainly help numerous talents to show their abilities.
But here again, these crappy languages say that the Ministry itself, to which huge amounts of money are being allocated for projects in the military-industrial complex, has dried up its creative potentials. And therefore, Anatoly Serdyukov decided to go to the people: you see, some specialist from the mountain aul will nevertheless give advice on how to solve technical problems with the deep modernization of “Admiral Gorshkov”, which in no way can begin to surf the expanses of the world ocean Indian chanting name "Vikramaditya." It’s not for nothing that the Minister of Defense says that he hopes to see “Admiral Gorshkov” already in the summer of next year on the sea surface. Recall that work is accepted until December 8 - time before the summer should be enough ...
Perhaps, someone from the Ural village will throw up the idea of how to deal with the American system of European missile defense, using a 1.5-liter plastic bottle, a scotch and a gypsy needle. Then no insinuations of the American administration will definitely be terrible to us ...
Part II. “The more I recognize people, the more I value my dog”
Tula cargo
About twelve boxes that did not fall into Damascus
In the evening of October 10, the Airbus A320 of Syrian Air Airlines, peacefully flying from Vnukovo to Damascus International Airport, was forcibly seated in Ankara. Moreover, the crew and passengers tentatively frightened two F-16 fighters belonging to the Turkish Air Force.
The Turks decided that the passenger airbus transports military cargo intended for the army of Bashar al-Assad. Turkish Premier with a metallic note in his voice He accused Russia in the supply of Syria ammunition (according to other information, also in the supply of military equipment, produced by one of the Russian organizations of the military-industrial complex), however, with evidence I decided not to hurry.
The plane was landed, and the Turkish bloodhounds began to delve intensively into the luggage compartment, sometimes resembling homeless people in garbage cans. What did they expect to find there? Modernized Russian Tanks? "Pinocchio"? Missiles with nuclear warheads and a special suitcase for President Assad?
While the detectives worked, the passengers spent the night on the plane. Sometimes they were let loose on the airfield. Not for long.
In total, the search for Russian ammunition on the plane took eight hours from the Turks. 12 mailboxes were found, the contents of which Turkey did not spread. The boxes were confiscated, the plane was released.
Then Turkey began an information campaign. Russian Ambassador to Ankara, Vladimir Ivanovsky caused in the Turkish Foreign Ministry and began to demand an explanation from him. And what could he explain, if he himself had just learned from the Turks about the “forbidden cargo”?
Moscow, in response, also demanded an explanation from Ankara. In the Russian Foreign Ministry, they were indignant at how Russians in Ankara treated the 17, the passengers of the Airbus: people were kept in the 8 plane for hours without food. In addition, the Russian diplomatic mission found out about what happened ... from the press.
The Syrian airline has decided to file a complaint about the behavior of the Turkish side to the International aviation the federation and human rights organizations, and the SANA news agency, with its inherent clarity, reported, citing an unnamed Russian source, that the Kremlin did not need to use passenger aircraft to deliver military cargo. The Russian Federation continues to fulfill its obligations under military contracts with Damascus concluded prior to the adoption of sanctions by the UN Security Council.
Hot comrades from the Syrian Foreign Ministry went even further: publicly accused Turkish Prime Minister in a lie. As stated in the statement of the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan "continues to lie in order to justify the hostile attitude of his government towards Syria." The Foreign Ministry stressed that all the cargo aircraft had the necessary documents and did not contain weapons or any other illegal goods.
However, the sleuths of Mr. Erdogan rummaged in the luggage compartment is not in vain. Journalists from "Kommersant" got to the bottom of the truth: it turns out, on board the ship "Syrian Air" was twelve boxes with technical elements for radar stations of air defense systems. This cargo did not require special design, since it did not pose a danger to either the crew members or the aircraft, and its transportation did not violate international laws.
The Russian FSB immediately became interested in the incident in Ankara - for its own reasons. They are going to start checking on the fact of leakage of information about transportation. Our "feds" believe that the Turkish authorities were more likely to know about the equipment on board, since otherwise they "would not have risked it" by forcibly putting a civilian airbus on board.
Genuine interest in what happened was also shown in distant America. The fact that the Russian policy on the supply of dual-use equipment to Syria is morally untenable, said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. Along the way, she noted that the Turks gave Washington comprehensive information about the cargo on board the aircraft. However, the State Department spokeswoman did not share this information with journalists. But Washington had to admit that, formally, Moscow did not violate any prohibitions on deliveries to Syria. But for a democratic America, the only bad thing is that Moscow again noted in the incitement and complicity of the “al-Assad regime’s military machine.”
October 12 Vladimir Putin held an operational meeting of the Security Council, after which Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke. is he сказалthat the liner was transporting "electrical equipment for radar, dual-use equipment, but not prohibited by any international conventions." At the same time, Comrade Lavrov denied R.T. Erdogan’s statement that the plane allegedly transported Russian-made ammunition intended for the Syrian Ministry of Defense. “There were no weapons on board the intercepted aircraft, and there could not be any,” the minister explained. “There was a cargo that a legal Russian supplier sent to a legal client by legal means.” And now, according to the minister, “the supplier will demand the return of the cargo, which is his property.”
Source of the newspaper "Kommersant" сообщилthat the aircraft was transporting the products of the Tula Instrument Design Bureau. And on a civilian plane it was carrying it, experts say, that attempts to deliver cargo to Syria by traditional sea route run into open resistance from the international community.
It remains to add that now the same community is blocking Russia and the possibility of air cargo.
To top it off, the Turks left a hint to Russia that, they say, your South Stream gas pipeline in our sea economic zone will not go, we changed our minds. Or, perhaps, Erdogan can put the question squarely: if you are for Assad, then you are against your own economy, but if you turn the help to Assad, then you and I will remain good trading partners - and, as comrades Putin and Davutoglu said recently, through 5 years we will reach an annual turnover of one hundred billion dollars, and for such money it is worth fighting.
This is a very tricky strategy. Experts indicatethat with the possible fall of Bashar al-Assad and the establishment of a Sunni regime in Syria, loyal to the Turks, Qatari and Saudis, as well as fraternal America, the rosy prospect of building oil and gas pipelines from the Persian Gulf straight to Europe will immediately be drawn. Some people sleep and see how the strongest global competitor appears in Russia's Gazprom. There is no need to be a rocket scientist to understand how happy the western democracies will be from this turn of events, fed by the gas committee directly from Qatar.
There is only one “but”: the Assad army still needs to be defeated. If Syria will survive, Turkish searchlights will burst like a soap bubble. In the meantime, the Kurdish army is being formed near the Turkish borders, with Assad giving a green light ...
Winner of the European Union
Money "Dynamite King" continues to go to destination
Alfred Nobel did not want to go down in history as the "dynamite king" and the enemy of all living things, who earned millions on blood. That is why he established the prizes of his own name, of which the most prestigious of which today is considered the peace prize.
This award was honored, for example, by Mr. Mikhail S. Gorbachev - a man who started “perestroika” in the USSR, as a result of which everything that was built by the people who survived World War I, the bourgeois and socialist revolutions, then the civil war, collectivization was very quickly destroyed. , industrialization, camps, finally, the Great Patriotic and post-war reconstruction. "Scoops" began to look to the West with open awe, dreaming about jeans, Coca-Cola and pale green money.
Peace Prize was given to Barack Obama. The president of the United States received it in 2009, fighting for peace in two foreign countries at once — Iraq and Afghanistan. Later, against the will of Congress, he continued the work of democracy in Libya. And in general, the “Arab Spring”, they say, the White House owner took close to his Islamist heart.
It is strange that he did not receive a million dollars from dynamite committee members J. Bush Jr. (according to rumors, he was nominated, but the nominations are kept secret for fifty years).
The culmination of a perverted understanding of what the world is like on the planet, as well as of the world outlook, was the presentation of the October 12 award of the year 2012. The sum of approximately 1,2 million dollars was received ... no, not Lord Venediktov from Ekho Moskvy and not even an outstanding human rights activist Lyudmila Alekseeva (whom the Nobel committee could throw money on the 85 anniversary), the award went to no one at all (God, to whom same?), and ... In short, the Nobel Committee gave the award not to the individual, but to the European Union.
So what? How is this European Union worse than Gorbachev or Obama? Didn't the EU deal with Yugoslav issues when the fierce hordes of peacekeepers and cluster bomb bombs were required there? Wasn’t Europe, shaking hands with fraternal America, loudly rejoiced at the assassination of Gaddafi in Libya? Is it not France, a member of the EU, who now advocates for the “world community” to strike at Syria, ending the “regime” of Bashar al-Assad? And who is this nose in Mali? And isn't it in the EU countries that the police shoot rubber bullets at unarmed demonstrators, and thousands of strikes are taking place everywhere, and in Greece, there are general strikes? Has the eurozone not been plunged into the deepest quagmire of the crisis, which agitated even Barack Obama, who knows a lot about public debts? Unless economists and analysts do not write about a completely real collapse of the European Union, if only Mother Germany, dreaming of the “fifth Reich,” as some observers believe, doesn’t pull it out of the swamp,
Apparently, it's time to award the EU. Maybe the Nobel committee members are far from their lives and believe that 1,2 million will help overcome the crisis. Or maybe they believe that the “Fifth Reich” is an exclusively peaceful concept, without MP-40, MG-42 and other similar things. Or the managers of the Nobel Foundation in Oslo decided to award the EU because they already consider this formation of the single currency states historical? If you don’t give the prize today, tomorrow will be too late: one memory from the EU will remain - in the form of a chapter in textbooks.
The father of dynamite dreamed of a premium to wash off the blood from his own name - including the blood of his younger brother, who was killed by an explosion at a factory in 1864. However, for some mystical irony, the peace prize continues to be given to those who play explosive roles on planet Earth ...
Fabricated terrorist
About how FBI agents persuade American Muslims to blow something up
This week стало известноthat a nineteen-year-old boy named Adel Daud, a Chicagoan resident who, according to an American investigation, was going to blow up a Jeep Cherokee stuffed with explosives at a city bar, did not plead guilty and said that he was not a terrorist at all.
Efbeerovtsy arrested Daud exactly one month ago. Acting under cover, they contacted the suspect, pretending to be extremists wanting to end the damned America once and for all. The “extremists” were to hand over an explosive device to Daoud, which was activated through a mobile phone. The bomb in the car was inert. Daoud was taken when he activated an explosive device. However, Daud, at the trial, rejected the accusations of terrorism, and his stubborn lawyer insists that the FBI special operation was purposely staged.
Reject not reject, but you can sit in jail for life. It was not in vain that agents disguised as bearded extremists who had been in close contact with Daud for more than half a year (and why so long?) Spent generous taxpayers' money, and now the judicial system is spending them.
The FBI operation was one of those allow to reveal “Potential jihadists”. This is a common practice in today's democratic America.
Daud was a typical “potential jihadist” —a desired sacrifice and relatively easy prey for FBI agents. While the Muslim was being watched, it turned out: he read the magazine Inspire (an online publication of jihadists), watched training videos, participated in online jihadist forums, where US policy was condemned. And once such a thing, they decided to "recruit" him.
However, he was not very good at giving in to agency provocations. More precisely, did not give in at all. I did not want to blow up America, and that's it. Daud tried to recruit at least six times in seven months. Finally, in May, Efbaer people managed to persuade Daoud via the Internet.
The court has no evidence that the "extremist" was able to use explosives, not to mention the manufacture of improvised bombs. He did not try to make or get any weapons. Doud himself was far from being a threat to America. He was persuaded to become a terrorist, an enemy of democracy. Many of these "enemies", artificially nurtured by FBI agents, are already sitting in US prisons, receiving sentences of 20-30 years. (And then US citizens are surprised: why are there so many prisoners in our country — already more than six million).
Agents object to their critics: they say, we have given an opportunity for an extremist to retreat from his bloody plans. But, firstly, the plans are not his, and, secondly, we should not forget that the “terrorist act” of the efbeer people tried to persuade their victim for seven months.
Adel's father crying, Ahmed Daoud, on trial сказалthat his son was always a good child.
The lawyer for the 19-year-old accused, Thomas Anthony Darkin, сказалThat there is a case of capture. “It was not his idea. This explosion is a government idea ... He is just a young guy. He just graduated from high school ... He is incredibly naive. "
The American rink of justice ruthlessly crushes Muslims inside the country, but encourages Islamist coups in North Africa and the Middle East. Western analysts, and with them the US congressmen, are calling President Obama for all this ... also "naive."
The difference between Obama and young Daud is that if the naive president of the United States, an idealist of Fukuyama’s sense, still believes in the triumph of democracy around the world, the schoolchild who found himself in the dock once and for all learned what “American values” are.
the Forbidden fruit is sweet
Secret agent protest
On the night of October 13 (i.e., from Friday to Saturday - at all your favorite drinkers) Miami police задержала US Secret Service Agent (USSS) Heron Francis Angler. A drunk man in the insole of an agent who ensured the safety of Barack Obama in the city was found lying on a street corner near a nightclub.
The secret mister did not give any signs of life, and the policemen decided that he was loaded with whiskey at the water line.It was not so easy to patrol to deliver a special agent to the site. When the guardians began to search him, a USSS officer, flashing blood-filled bull's eyes, drove into one of the patrolmen in the jaw.
It is rumored that Mr. Engler, having drunk and fought, thus protested against the ban, recently officially, in the form of instructions, accepted by the US Secret Service. Bad-agent agents from the beginning of October are forbidden to drink alcohol not only during work, but also 10 hours before arrival at the service. And during business trips, agents should not drink alcohol in hotels and other places where the US President or other dignitaries stay. “Alcohol is allowed to be consumed only in moderate quantities during off-duty hours,” the statement says. That is, in unlimited quantities, which Mr. Engler, for example, is able to use, is no longer allowed to drink.
At the same time, agents were forbidden to disclose secret information and use social networks on the Internet. And this really does not go into any gate. To the agent - and did not disclose? ..
Funny instructions appeared not from scratch. The fact is that in June the American government let down disappointing results of the activities of alcoholics from the USSS, guarding the country's top officials and their relatives. Eternally drunk agents to the right and left divulge secret information, engaged in illegal listening, here and there illegally used weapons and committed sexual crimes.
The lustfulness of the agents had such a high degree that they not only hired two dozen prostitutes, five to six pieces per brother, but also tried on business trips to force female colleagues. And one USSS officer, waving a service pistol, threatened to shut down the strip club. The poor agent did not like the high club prices. This guy, who was dreaming, apparently, of solid Soviet pricing, said that the cost of dancing on the table and on his knees ... is contrary to federal laws.
