As our American satellite splashed down
Another virtuoso operation on failure the spacecraft to a near-earth orbit was conducted by Russian specialists from RSC Energia. This time, the launch of the Zenit-3SL launch vehicle from a floating platform in the Pacific Ocean ended with the launch vehicle itself, together with the American satellite Intelsat-27 from Boeing SSI, already in a minute “bathed” in the waters of the ocean itself.
As many of our readers remember, before this launch, experts successfully did not take satellites of the most diverse geographic origin: the Belarusian, Dutch, Australian, including their own large satellite constellation units went in to fish. However, as it now turns out, there were only successful rehearsals in anticipation of a big start. In fact, our rocket builders were preparing for failure in space gave American technology.
Preparation for this epochal event was conducted in two directions. The first is purely American. Representatives of Boeing SSI assembled their 6-ton satellite, calculated even for 15 years of work, in order to provide services for the American and European media, as well as to ensure government needs (this is stated by the management of the American company).
American media and government needs, say ... 15 years of work, say ... Well, well ... So, rubbing their hands and smiles on their lips, apparently, Russian specialists were whispering, starting their activities in the second direction - preparing unrest on the Pacific Ocean waters that could shake launch pad "Odyssey". At this time, the oiled hands also twisted something in the “Zenith” itself, so that surely ...
As a result, everything grew together: the ocean was stormy, the platform with the rocket and satellite was winding from side to side, the stabilizing engines did not provide stability ... At this crucial moment the command “The key to the start!” Sounded
“One, two, three ... - the RSC Energia employees considered, - ... forty-nine, fifty ..."
“What are you doing, wait!” Shouted their American colleagues, but in the distance there was already a big splash ...
"Serve the Fatherland!" - flashed over the Pacific raging expanses. And someone on the mobile phone was quietly playing the ringtone of the Russian anthem ... They were returning heroes to their homeland ...
Meat strike
Gennady Onishchenko rampages
The attack on our American "partners" was also conducted by the Rosselkhoznadzor. Since 1 February, this department introduces a complete ban on meat imports from the United States of America. This is a ban on the import of beef and pork.
Naturally, behind this ban is the figure of the Generalissimo of the Russian Health Troops Gennady Onishchenko. This time Gennady Grigorievich was alarmed by the fact that the content of ractopamine, a substance that stimulates active growth, was found in the "star-striped meat". At the same time, the chief sanitary doctor said that Washington perceives Russia, a quote, "as a third-rate country, as a kind of Papuan." Gennady Onishchenko showed such indignation after it turned out that the same States were supplying meat and meat products to Europe, which do not contain this ractopamine.
Onishchenko now proposes to replace the American protein, which no longer crosses our borders, with our home-grown products, in which you can find everything except this, like his there, ractopamine ...
It remains unclear how the suppliers of meat from the United States and the authorities of such a state as Papua New Guinea responded to the words of Onishchenko (according to our chief medical officer, “Papuan”), but it can be clearly stated that the reaction from the United States will be the most salivary.
American "friends", apparently, pretty much forgotten that in Russia, in addition to the nuclear triad, there is at least one more defender of its citizens from foreign arbitrariness. And this defender is Onishchenko Gennady Grigorievich. By the way, why is he not yet a Hero of Russia? Amazing mistake!
"And he was a good guy ..."
From the speeches of current politicians about the role of Hitler and Mussolini
Last week, the regular date of the release of prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp (Auschwitz) by Soviet troops was noted. The same day was once declared the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. And immediately to several modern politicians among the public in connection with these events have some questions.
In particular, repeated ex-Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi, who spoke rather flatteringly about the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, was awarded critical arrows in his address. Berlusconi, in particular, said that Mussolini, of course, had some kind of racial mistakes, but in other respects the main initiator of fascism is, according to an admirer of funny adventures with bunga-bunga teenage girls, a very remarkable politician. Silvio Berlusconi announced that Mussolini managed to make a quote, "a lot of good things", and therefore, apparently, is worthy of all respect from the inhabitants of the peninsula. Anyway, Mussolini personally did not even hurt a fly. This is how great spiritual kindness and decency, it turns out, was Benito “Alessandrovich”, again according to the version of the owner of a football club, a film studio, newspapers and other steamers.
As soon as such “fiery” words came out of Berlusconi’s mouth about Mussolini’s positive role in storiesseveral Italian public organizations at once subjected the words of the ex-premier to sharp criticism. They say, Silvio, you, apparently, after being hit by a sculpture on the head from a "frantic fan", as they say, the canopy was shaken ...
However, Berlusconi was not alone in this plan this week. Speaking about the fight against fascism and Nazism, they recalled something and another well-known policy nowadays - namely, they remembered to him the expressions that he deigned to allow Berlusconi a little earlier.
We are talking about the current Belarusian President Lukashenko, who in 1995 year (literally at the dawn of his long and tumultuous presidential career) stated that, he says, certain parallels can be traced between the development of Belarus and Germany. According to the then Lukashenko, for centuries Germany had been striving for an order that, in the end, only the person who represented strong power could give her. Everything seems to be beautiful and logical, except for the fact that by that very man endowed with power, in the understanding of Alexander G. was ... Adolf Hitler. Lukashenko also focused on the fact that the name of Hitler for Germany is connected not only with the worst ... What strikingly similar speeches, separated by 18 for years, descended from the mouth of two politicians who at first glance are difficult to suspect of piety to such odious figures of the past!
Many years have passed since the Belarusian president allowed himself such words. He himself forgot about his speech about the role of Hitler in the history of Germany and some parallels with the development of Germany and Belarus, perhaps, but his opposition leaders did not even forget his great "friends". Now that speech by Lukashenka is being presented under a very spicy sauce, the specific taste of which can cause obvious heartburn even among the “Batka” supporters.
Sleeping Makhno
How the judge got into the arms of Morpheus
No, there are, of course, court sessions interesting, and there are - so-so. And even not that “so-so”, but absolutely “rotten” meetings happen. It used to sit, the judge in his chair, and his nose begins to nod. Everyone around him thinks that he is thus expressing unequivocal approval of the words of the prosecutor or lawyer, and the judge, it turns out, is a dreamy mood. This is the incident that happened during the week with the servant of Themis from Blagoveshchensk by the name of Makhno. The chair is soft, the prosecutor "sews the case" beautifully, the criminal code on the table lies exactly - in general, he ruined the judge according to the full program: he was cordial and gave himself up to the sweet embrace of Morpheus. Well, as in the film "Big Break" - remember ...
Covering his eyes, Mr. Makhno, apparently, dreamed of new promotions: from a city judge to a higher flight judge, and there it was even higher, higher and higher ... But only a disaster happened. A certain person who had turned on the video camera of his mobile at the meeting in the most despicable manner decided to capture the judge at the very moment when the colored dreams of Comrade Makhno succeeded each other, and the breathing apparatus barely restrained not to snore ...
The video, as usual now, went to the Internet, and thousands of viewers saw Makhno “getting to the heart of the matter”. And after that, the judge with a resounding surname had two ways: the first was to swear that he had not slept at all, namely, he thoughtfully understood the intricacies of the case, plunging into a special judicial trance that was not prohibited by the laws of the Russian Federation, and the second was to write “on his own ". Makhno apparently understood that the "trance" would not pass, and therefore he decided to choose the second path, and his brilliant judicial career was cut short at the very take-off ...
However, as soon as the observant legality of the legality in Blagoveshchensk was satisfied, angry complaints fell down in the name of the “satisfiers”. Like, fiends! Why are you Makhno fired? Maybe he was sick at all. Maybe his temperature was the same, from which the air conditioning in the courthouse accounted for the "complete cold" to turn on! Or maybe he didn’t sleep at night at all - he worked on the unloading of cars due to his low wages!
But such criticism remained unrecorded. On the other hand, some clarity emerged as to why video filming is prohibited in US courts, but a graphic depiction of the trial is very much welcomed. Apparently, it was decided there like this: if the judge “zamaril”, then while the artist draws this whole scene, he will have time to wake up five times already. We have so far on this score complete arbitrariness in relation to the judges is obtained ...
And by and large, the whole point is that Judge Makhno was the victim of circumstances. Tell me, why did he - a professional lawyer (of course, with a capital letter) - were assigned to conduct such a boring meeting? For what? What are these offenses? Would Makhno fall asleep if they instructed him to make decisions, for example, about Yevgeny Vasilyeva, or even some Anatoly Serdyukov? What dream would there be ?! Yes Makhno on this process would have wiped the leather chair with the fifth point before the springs.
After this episode, judges who work on the most boring trials would have to provide an additional assistant who would come to the judges table every five minutes and produce a loud voice “Khe-khe !!!” - just in case ...
Serdyukovsky tract
How one road lost
Serious passions flare up about the "road" business, which includes the name of the former Minister of Defense. The press repeatedly published articles about the Zhitnoye elite recreation center, which was built in the Volga delta, with funds from the Russian Ministry of Defense and with the active involvement of soldiers from various military units, with a total cost of 100 million rubles. The situation turned into a particularly piquant after it was established that “Zhitnoye” belonged to the husband of Anatoly Serdyukov’s sister, a man who himself actively supported the deliverance of military personnel from “non-core” labor.
Further, many wanted to see firsthand the very path that led potential travelers to the camp site. Arriving at the place of journalists, who apparently were going to see the broadband highway, saw the usual primer, which in some places was reinforced with rubble. They began to look elsewhere, but the 8-kilometer stretch of asphalt road with layout and other amenities was not found.
This led to the fact that a conspiracy version immediately appeared: they say, Serdyukov himself came almost after his visit to the Investigation Committee and slucked that road (apparently, with the active assistance of the former Chief of the General Staff Nikolai Makarov). As they say, he decided to destroy the evidence ...
However, later from conversations with local residents it turned out that the very primer is the “Serdyukovsk tract” that the ex-minister investigators asked about. It would seem that Anatoly Eduardovich could begin to show good spirits: they say there is no asphalt - there is no business ... But ... The same local residents confirmed that the military actually applied to arranging the primer and strengthening the bridges ... No outsourcers ...
Yes, to tell the truth, it is difficult to understand those people who were going to see in Russia 8 km of an equipped road with two bridges at the cost of their construction in 100 million rubles. For these 100 million rubles, at our current rates, we can only build 500-600 meters of a very mediocre roadway. And there are such areas (Moscow Ring Road or Third Transport, for example), where the asphalt kilometer will cost all 110 million dollars! So, on the 100 Russian “lyams” designated by no other road, except for the 8-kilometer primer mixed with rubble, it was impossible to build it.
Apparently, Mr. Serdyukov’s son-in-law reproached his relative: eh, Anatoly! I thought that you would pave the asphalt road to me, and you only had enough sand on the rubble ... Well, surely you could not realize some non-core building in the center of Moscow, according to the special price, so that your sister’s husband would experience a deep moral satisfaction from driving on smooth asphalt, and not suffered from these here potholes…
Part II. “What progress has reached”
A miracle of engineering in the service of the law
Six Fingering Thief and adulterer
On Monday, a new progressive technology was publicly tested in Iran: a machine for chopping off fingers. A certain thief, he and the adulterer, who had previously been in court, was the first "experimental", who was to lose four fingers on his right hand. Public amputation Took place on one of the squares of the city of Shiraz.
There are a lot of comments on the Internet about this. First of all, it is necessary to note the mass bewilderment. Media readers are surprised: why is the fifth finger left for the thief? For what such needs? In which such a place poking around? In the nose or not in the nose?
It must be assumed that the instrument of execution is still at the stage of initial testing. The beta version of the machine cuts down only four fingers. You can also assume that the fifth (thumb) left the criminal, which was held in public awesome experience, so that he could protrude a finger, with a famous gesture showing the executioners how well they and their machine work.
Discuss on the Internet and what it would be like these cars introduced in operation in Russia. According to the network anonymous, this device should function in the country without interruption. Others object: they say, in this case a long line will be formed for the disability and the corresponding pensions. Still others, with their inherent black humor, write that after such an innovation, the State Duma would have to establish pedals. To vote. However, these commentators must not remember that the laws - including on new punishments - are being drafted and adopted in this very State Duma. The fourth say that it is impossible to import such cars into Russia: all 142 of a million people, including children and old women, will remain empty. Among the authors of the reviews were also originals, ready to stand behind the machine of the Iranian type and work for free and overtime.
What happened to a man punished in Iran? If four fingers were cut off for his theft, what punishment was he assigned for adultery?
No, in vain you thought about it. The new guillotine cuts only the fingers, the tips of the cigars and cuts the nails. Version 2.0 (export version), according to rumors, will also do circumcision - four at a time. An Iranian thief for adultery was sentenced to ninety-nine lashes and three years in prison.
Shibab-Addim, a connoisseur of American mythology
Between truth and ignorance
Recently it became clear that there is a popular opinion in the Egyptian government: The Holocaust is a myth composed by ... no, not by the Jews - by the Americans. Why did they need to write it? To implement their own political goals. And what about the six million Jews who were killed by the Nazis? And there was no such thing: all these Jews simply collected manatki and moved for permanent residence in the United States.
Approximately this vision of history outlined Egyptian Mr. Fathi Shibab-Eddim, a person close to President Mursi, and also responsible for appointing the editors of all state newspapers. To report to the public his interpretation of history, he chose Holocaust Remembrance Day. On the eve, Mursi himself reminded the masses of a well-known thesis that the Jews are “descendants of monkeys and pigs”, thereby giving the order to their followers.
Shibab-Eddim, this trendsetter in the Egyptian media, stated with pathos that the Holocaust is not an ordinary myth, but a whole American mythological industry, operating under the authority of US intelligence agencies.
But why did the Americans create such a myth? Shibaba also had an answer to this. It turns out that America was able to manipulate the consciousness of the world community already in the distant forties. That was an image attack: the Americans started it with the aim of damaging the image of their fascist German opponents, justifying the destruction of civilian objects during the war, and especially the atomic attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Efraim Zuroff, the Israeli director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem, familiarized himself with these “arguments” and shook his head sadly. He wanted to use the artistic style and express himself in the sense that the views of the Egyptian leaders, especially Shibab-Eddyma, are based on one denial tortoise and three whales of ignorance, but he changed his mind and said more simply:
Terrible geopolitical advertising
Britain has taken a course on scaring visitors
Fearing that Bulgarians and Romanians would flood the UK next year in large numbers, the government of Albion decided to popularly explain to future migrant workers that it was not at all sweet to live in London and its environs.
According to the immigration control organization Migration Watch, over the next five years, about 50 thousands of citizens from Bulgaria and Romania can come to the UK for employment purposes. The fact is that in 2014 year canceled a restriction on their access to work in the UK, in force since 2007, when the two countries joined the EU.
And once there was a threat of a massive influx of migrants and the final stifling of the titular nation, the British authorities, already thinking of leaving the state from the EU, decided to launch a special advertisement for their country in Bulgaria and Romania. The authors of the videos suggest that they blacken the country in such a way that no Bulgarian would want to exchange the beauty of Shipka or, say, the labor exchange in Sofia, for Westminster Abbey or soup kitchen for wanderers in the proletarian slums of London who need capital repairs.
Writers and editors can be advised not to strain your imagination. In the videos for the Romanian and Bulgarian television should show how the British themselves Are looking for "New homeland" in other countries. Nearly two-thirds of British families want to emigrate - due to the bad climate, rudeness of officials, too high taxes, intolerable stupidity of mass culture and public pessimism. Every week from Britain is leaving about one and a half thousand leaders - "in search of a better life." We must try to explain to the incredulous Romanians that everything is so bad in Britain that the British are winding up to Australia, where they still remember what “good old British values” and “community spirit” are. A TV show of prosperous Adelaide at the same time would make it clear to the Bulgarians where the true paradise of the earth is - neither mists to you, nor floods, nor the electorate of Mr. Cameron that has lost confidence.
In parallel to the launched scenes should focus the attention of potential visitors to London on the so-called food banks, without which the British would have died out in droves. Last year, the number of these “banks”, charitable organizations that distribute food to the poor, significantly increased in the country. Those who get up in the UK in hungry lines, over the past year has doubled. New Soup Kitchens are opening up every three days. The number of Britons living in this capstrana below the poverty line is about to exceed 13 millions. Results of a recent survey showedthat for every tenth family in the UK, hunger is an everyday reality.
Those poorly susceptible to the truth of people from Romania and Bulgaria who break through to Britain through awesome ads are going to be tortured with special tests in London: they will be offered migrants to pass an “entrance exam”, whose questions, as the Ministry of the Interior says, will be based on that underlie British being. " This is despite the fact that the British spirit has long moved to Australia.
Immigration applicants will have to show outstanding knowledge of sports, history and even UK music. The exam will include questions: “What was the name of the admiral who died in the naval battle of 1805 of the year, the monument to which was installed on Trafalgar Square in London?”, “What is the monument of the prehistoric period still standing in Wiltshire?” And others.
It is not known whether the members of the British government themselves would have passed a similar test. In one row with the working Bulgarians, it would be nice to put, for example, D. Cameron.
Not so long ago, in September of last year, the British Prime Minister had to answer rather simple questions from the American TV host David Letterman. Last asked the first is about who wrote the patriotic song “Rule, Britain, by the seas!” and what the “Magna Carta” is. Unlike the vast majority of future Romanian migrants, Mr. Cameron graduated from Eton and Oxford. Nevertheless, he did not know who wrote the specified patriotic song. This man also failed to translate into English “Magna Carta” (“Great Charter”). Failing the test, Cameron declared: “You caught me! Now my career is over. ”
Hemp GOST
America lacks Onishchenko
The world has embraced international drug fever. It all began in America - and echoed through Colombia, it reached Russia.
Last year, as is known, in some states of America they legalized marijuana. And now, on the eve of December 2013, when the legal trade in marijuana should begin in Washington, local authorities are thinking: what about consumer protection and everything else, including the quality of the product supplied?
In washington already started searching specialists who would clarify to the authorities how to grow grass properly, how to dry it, to store it. Also, authorities are interested in recipes of Dutch cupcakes. January 30 hosted a forum in Tachoma made up of drug addicts. Responsible for the development of a set of rules under which the "hemp industry" will work, was appointed by the Bureau of Alcohol Control. Not exactly the profile, but for the beginning it will come down.
Today, this bureau needs specialists in four areas: a full cycle of marijuana production (asking to ask people with at least three years of experience); the safety of the use of "grass" and its effect on the human body; determining the quality of the product, as well as the quantity necessary to meet market needs; legal processes and laws accompanying cannabis trafficking at the federal and local level.
Meanwhile, the police began to occur mysterious incidents with marijuana, stored there in the form of material evidence. In Wichita, Kansas, the mouse seems to be nibbled bags of marijuana. According to the investigation version, the rodents (option: one rodent) were looking for a place to make a hole and food. Marijuana came up for both.
In the deduction, the Kansas police officers could not refuse, but, after the contents in the packets diminished, unusual ideas began to come to the heads of the law enforcement officers from Wichita. The police sat down to compile an identikit of the alleged abductor. The team of the whole department stood behind the artist, who, sticking his tongue out, for the first time in his life instead of an unshaven narrow-minded gangster with close-set round eyes, inspiredly created the image of a kidnapper mouse.
In a word, it is difficult to say who consumed more marijuana - mice or policemen.
And with a visit to Russia of one holy father from Colombia, drug fever took on international forms.
Padre Fabio Ricardo Rodriguez, who was keeping eighteen cocaine condoms in his stomach, flew to hospitable Russia in transit through Paris. But the trouble is: he was late for a connecting flight, and he had to wait for the next plane. As soon as he flew to Sheremetyevo, he became ill. In Russia, they treat a nasty state of health almost according to Hasek: no, not by wrapping it in a wet sheet, but no less effective way is by washing the stomach.
Freed from a heavy duty priest who settled in the Khimki prison, рассказалthat he arrived in Russia for missionary purposes. To drive drugs, of course, he was forced by the mafia group.
It is difficult to say what kind of group. Isn't that the one that January 29 offered to legalize not only cocaine and marijuana, but also Ecstasy and methamphetamines in their homeland?
It turned out that this initiative comes from ... the Colombian government. The corresponding proposal is expected to be sent to Congress in March 2013 of the year. The development of the document will take - as appropriate in the United States - experts and scientists. They will join and the former president of the country Cesar Gaviria.
The basis of the idea of legalization put the well-known idea that the decriminalization of the drug business would put an end to drug trafficking. You can add to this that legalizing the services of killers, poisoners, rapists, man-eating freaks, terrorists, gangsters and bribe-takers would also help to end the corresponding types of criminal business. The world would be completely cleansed of criminals.
Such a simple and brilliant idea does not reach the Russians. At least, it does not reach one vigilant citizen of Orenburg, who sees ambushes of drug dealers at every corner, gathered to destroy their native Russia.
Citizen Vladimir Savinkov in writing addressed to the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Orenburg Region. In a statement, the comrade indicated that the statue of the fountain "Friendship of Peoples" ("Sheaf of Plenty"), along with the pavilion "Geology" at the All-Russian Exhibition Center, promote cannabis use. Designated objects should be demolished so that they do not embarrass young people.
Moreover, according to Comrade Savinkov, advertise drug products and large world-famous companies. For example, Coca-Cola reminds people of coke. As for the perfume "Opium", then about him and the explanation is not required. But the worst thing is Red Candy candies ...
Comrade Savinkov did not elaborate what people are reminded of in the bread store with poppy seeds in a bread shop.
Soprano replaced the baritone
Hillary Clinton has retired
Friday was the last working day of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: she was replaced by John Kerry. And therefore there is a correct suggestion to remember this extraordinary woman with a kind word. If you think that there will be nothing to remember, then you are mistaken.
Outstanding Hillary, during her fruitful work at the State Department, became famous for the fact that 20 sang the party in the choir "Assad must leave." Agree, this is not for everyone. Voice can derail.
Throughout the Arab Spring, Hillary lucidly explained to the world that where there is oil, the United States usually finds a flaw in democracy. Speaking last May at the University of Syracuse (New York), H. Clinton expressed herself quite frankly: “Diplomacy in the energy sector is a critical factor in our national security, and not only in terms of meeting the energy needs of the United States at an affordable price. but also from the point of view of the role that energy plays in our relations with other regions of the world. ”
None other than the unforgettable Hillary exclaimed “Wow!” When she received news of the capture of Muammar Gaddafi on her mobile phone. Upon learning that Gaddafi was dead, she said: “They came, they saw, he died”.
It was H. Clinton, preaching democracy in the American way, and in her spare time advertising the services of the Westinghouse company, toured 112 countries, for which her colleagues presented her with a t-shirt with this number, and at the same time a protective helmet of an American football player fell and did not shake its precious brain.
In December, while in Dublin as part of the 38 tour, H. Clinton announced to the whole world about the coming “re-Sovietization” of Central Asia - under the guise of the Customs or the Eurasian Union - and made it clear that Great America would develop “effective ways” and “re-Sovietization "Will not allow. It’s not for you to clap flies — stand on the totalitarian path of Comrade Putin.
On the democratic path, Mrs. Clinton was accompanied by constant success everywhere. In countries where the Arab Spring was held, Americans have been hated before, but since 2012, the hatred of the population has become fierce. Al-Qaida, which now embodies the ideals of democracy in Syria, said that after Damascus, the next item of jihad is Washington. Ambassador K. Stevens and three more Americans were killed in Libya. America had to abandon its friendship with Egypt that was in the spring. The Prime Minister of Iraq, Comrade Al-Maliki, made it clear to the White House that his country was not someone's “patrimony”. Even in Russia, they grew bolder and forced NGOs — these Moscow conductors of overseas ideas — to register themselves as paid “foreign agents”. After all this, the US senators praised the Secretary of State for the fact that her efforts had greatly improved the image of the United States in the world and established trusting relationships with many countries.
However, the senators - not these, others - tried and scolded Clinton: for example, because of the death of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi. But in response, she masterfully threw a tantrum. For any other woman, this would be a political failure, but not for Hillary. After being interrogated in the Senate, her “rating of favorableness” reached 67% (“Washington Post” / “ABC News”). This means that sixty-seven percent of Americans respond positively to the activities of the Secretary of State. H. Clinton is now considered the definitive favorite of the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential race. Not the fact that she will go to the presidency, but it is known that she considers herself to be a bright role model for women leaders all over the world. Indiscreetly? I think no.
After all, Hillary Clinton achieved what no one before her in the White House has achieved: in the American press they wrote that the chief in the Oval Office is she, and not the president. A few days ago, Hillary went on CBS on television with Obama, who had never given a joint interview with anyone except his wife. Barak Hussein did not stint on honey: he called Hillary his friend and “one of the best secretaries of state” in the entire history of the country.
Finally, the former American secretary of state, like any intelligent person, cannot be denied self-criticism. Once Hillary said: "The essence of smart power is smart people!" And another time she admitted: "Everyone would like me to sit at home, bake pancakes and serve tea."
Not every wife and mother, even in the name of the bright future of their homeland, is able to refuse to bake pancakes and brew tea.

As our American satellite splashed down
Another virtuoso operation on failure the spacecraft to a near-earth orbit was conducted by Russian specialists from RSC Energia. This time, the launch of the Zenit-3SL launch vehicle from a floating platform in the Pacific Ocean ended with the launch vehicle itself, together with the American satellite Intelsat-27 from Boeing SSI, already in a minute “bathed” in the waters of the ocean itself.

However, as it now turns out, there were only successful rehearsals in anticipation of a big start. In fact, our rocket builders were preparing for failure in space gave American technology.
Preparation for this epochal event was conducted in two directions. The first is purely American. Representatives of Boeing SSI assembled their 6-ton satellite, calculated even for 15 years of work, in order to provide services for the American and European media, as well as to ensure government needs (this is stated by the management of the American company).
American media and government needs, say ... 15 years of work, say ... Well, well ... So, rubbing their hands and smiles on their lips, apparently, Russian specialists were whispering, starting their activities in the second direction - preparing unrest on the Pacific Ocean waters that could shake launch pad "Odyssey". At this time, the oiled hands also twisted something in the “Zenith” itself, so that surely ...
As a result, everything grew together: the ocean was stormy, the platform with the rocket and satellite was winding from side to side, the stabilizing engines did not provide stability ... At this crucial moment the command “The key to the start!” Sounded
“One, two, three ... - the RSC Energia employees considered, - ... forty-nine, fifty ..."
“What are you doing, wait!” Shouted their American colleagues, but in the distance there was already a big splash ...
"Serve the Fatherland!" - flashed over the Pacific raging expanses. And someone on the mobile phone was quietly playing the ringtone of the Russian anthem ... They were returning heroes to their homeland ...
Meat strike
Gennady Onishchenko rampages
The attack on our American "partners" was also conducted by the Rosselkhoznadzor. Since 1 February, this department introduces a complete ban on meat imports from the United States of America. This is a ban on the import of beef and pork.
Naturally, behind this ban is the figure of the Generalissimo of the Russian Health Troops Gennady Onishchenko. This time Gennady Grigorievich was alarmed by the fact that the content of ractopamine, a substance that stimulates active growth, was found in the "star-striped meat". At the same time, the chief sanitary doctor said that Washington perceives Russia, a quote, "as a third-rate country, as a kind of Papuan." Gennady Onishchenko showed such indignation after it turned out that the same States were supplying meat and meat products to Europe, which do not contain this ractopamine.
Onishchenko now proposes to replace the American protein, which no longer crosses our borders, with our home-grown products, in which you can find everything except this, like his there, ractopamine ...
It remains unclear how the suppliers of meat from the United States and the authorities of such a state as Papua New Guinea responded to the words of Onishchenko (according to our chief medical officer, “Papuan”), but it can be clearly stated that the reaction from the United States will be the most salivary.
American "friends", apparently, pretty much forgotten that in Russia, in addition to the nuclear triad, there is at least one more defender of its citizens from foreign arbitrariness. And this defender is Onishchenko Gennady Grigorievich. By the way, why is he not yet a Hero of Russia? Amazing mistake!

From the speeches of current politicians about the role of Hitler and Mussolini
Last week, the regular date of the release of prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp (Auschwitz) by Soviet troops was noted. The same day was once declared the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. And immediately to several modern politicians among the public in connection with these events have some questions.
In particular, repeated ex-Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi, who spoke rather flatteringly about the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, was awarded critical arrows in his address. Berlusconi, in particular, said that Mussolini, of course, had some kind of racial mistakes, but in other respects the main initiator of fascism is, according to an admirer of funny adventures with bunga-bunga teenage girls, a very remarkable politician. Silvio Berlusconi announced that Mussolini managed to make a quote, "a lot of good things", and therefore, apparently, is worthy of all respect from the inhabitants of the peninsula. Anyway, Mussolini personally did not even hurt a fly. This is how great spiritual kindness and decency, it turns out, was Benito “Alessandrovich”, again according to the version of the owner of a football club, a film studio, newspapers and other steamers.
As soon as such “fiery” words came out of Berlusconi’s mouth about Mussolini’s positive role in storiesseveral Italian public organizations at once subjected the words of the ex-premier to sharp criticism. They say, Silvio, you, apparently, after being hit by a sculpture on the head from a "frantic fan", as they say, the canopy was shaken ...
However, Berlusconi was not alone in this plan this week. Speaking about the fight against fascism and Nazism, they recalled something and another well-known policy nowadays - namely, they remembered to him the expressions that he deigned to allow Berlusconi a little earlier.
We are talking about the current Belarusian President Lukashenko, who in 1995 year (literally at the dawn of his long and tumultuous presidential career) stated that, he says, certain parallels can be traced between the development of Belarus and Germany. According to the then Lukashenko, for centuries Germany had been striving for an order that, in the end, only the person who represented strong power could give her. Everything seems to be beautiful and logical, except for the fact that by that very man endowed with power, in the understanding of Alexander G. was ... Adolf Hitler. Lukashenko also focused on the fact that the name of Hitler for Germany is connected not only with the worst ... What strikingly similar speeches, separated by 18 for years, descended from the mouth of two politicians who at first glance are difficult to suspect of piety to such odious figures of the past!
Many years have passed since the Belarusian president allowed himself such words. He himself forgot about his speech about the role of Hitler in the history of Germany and some parallels with the development of Germany and Belarus, perhaps, but his opposition leaders did not even forget his great "friends". Now that speech by Lukashenka is being presented under a very spicy sauce, the specific taste of which can cause obvious heartburn even among the “Batka” supporters.
Sleeping Makhno
How the judge got into the arms of Morpheus
No, there are, of course, court sessions interesting, and there are - so-so. And even not that “so-so”, but absolutely “rotten” meetings happen. It used to sit, the judge in his chair, and his nose begins to nod. Everyone around him thinks that he is thus expressing unequivocal approval of the words of the prosecutor or lawyer, and the judge, it turns out, is a dreamy mood. This is the incident that happened during the week with the servant of Themis from Blagoveshchensk by the name of Makhno. The chair is soft, the prosecutor "sews the case" beautifully, the criminal code on the table lies exactly - in general, he ruined the judge according to the full program: he was cordial and gave himself up to the sweet embrace of Morpheus. Well, as in the film "Big Break" - remember ...
Covering his eyes, Mr. Makhno, apparently, dreamed of new promotions: from a city judge to a higher flight judge, and there it was even higher, higher and higher ... But only a disaster happened. A certain person who had turned on the video camera of his mobile at the meeting in the most despicable manner decided to capture the judge at the very moment when the colored dreams of Comrade Makhno succeeded each other, and the breathing apparatus barely restrained not to snore ...
The video, as usual now, went to the Internet, and thousands of viewers saw Makhno “getting to the heart of the matter”. And after that, the judge with a resounding surname had two ways: the first was to swear that he had not slept at all, namely, he thoughtfully understood the intricacies of the case, plunging into a special judicial trance that was not prohibited by the laws of the Russian Federation, and the second was to write “on his own ". Makhno apparently understood that the "trance" would not pass, and therefore he decided to choose the second path, and his brilliant judicial career was cut short at the very take-off ...
However, as soon as the observant legality of the legality in Blagoveshchensk was satisfied, angry complaints fell down in the name of the “satisfiers”. Like, fiends! Why are you Makhno fired? Maybe he was sick at all. Maybe his temperature was the same, from which the air conditioning in the courthouse accounted for the "complete cold" to turn on! Or maybe he didn’t sleep at night at all - he worked on the unloading of cars due to his low wages!
But such criticism remained unrecorded. On the other hand, some clarity emerged as to why video filming is prohibited in US courts, but a graphic depiction of the trial is very much welcomed. Apparently, it was decided there like this: if the judge “zamaril”, then while the artist draws this whole scene, he will have time to wake up five times already. We have so far on this score complete arbitrariness in relation to the judges is obtained ...
And by and large, the whole point is that Judge Makhno was the victim of circumstances. Tell me, why did he - a professional lawyer (of course, with a capital letter) - were assigned to conduct such a boring meeting? For what? What are these offenses? Would Makhno fall asleep if they instructed him to make decisions, for example, about Yevgeny Vasilyeva, or even some Anatoly Serdyukov? What dream would there be ?! Yes Makhno on this process would have wiped the leather chair with the fifth point before the springs.
After this episode, judges who work on the most boring trials would have to provide an additional assistant who would come to the judges table every five minutes and produce a loud voice “Khe-khe !!!” - just in case ...
Serdyukovsky tract
How one road lost
Serious passions flare up about the "road" business, which includes the name of the former Minister of Defense. The press repeatedly published articles about the Zhitnoye elite recreation center, which was built in the Volga delta, with funds from the Russian Ministry of Defense and with the active involvement of soldiers from various military units, with a total cost of 100 million rubles. The situation turned into a particularly piquant after it was established that “Zhitnoye” belonged to the husband of Anatoly Serdyukov’s sister, a man who himself actively supported the deliverance of military personnel from “non-core” labor.
Further, many wanted to see firsthand the very path that led potential travelers to the camp site. Arriving at the place of journalists, who apparently were going to see the broadband highway, saw the usual primer, which in some places was reinforced with rubble. They began to look elsewhere, but the 8-kilometer stretch of asphalt road with layout and other amenities was not found.
This led to the fact that a conspiracy version immediately appeared: they say, Serdyukov himself came almost after his visit to the Investigation Committee and slucked that road (apparently, with the active assistance of the former Chief of the General Staff Nikolai Makarov). As they say, he decided to destroy the evidence ...
However, later from conversations with local residents it turned out that the very primer is the “Serdyukovsk tract” that the ex-minister investigators asked about. It would seem that Anatoly Eduardovich could begin to show good spirits: they say there is no asphalt - there is no business ... But ... The same local residents confirmed that the military actually applied to arranging the primer and strengthening the bridges ... No outsourcers ...
Yes, to tell the truth, it is difficult to understand those people who were going to see in Russia 8 km of an equipped road with two bridges at the cost of their construction in 100 million rubles. For these 100 million rubles, at our current rates, we can only build 500-600 meters of a very mediocre roadway. And there are such areas (Moscow Ring Road or Third Transport, for example), where the asphalt kilometer will cost all 110 million dollars! So, on the 100 Russian “lyams” designated by no other road, except for the 8-kilometer primer mixed with rubble, it was impossible to build it.
Apparently, Mr. Serdyukov’s son-in-law reproached his relative: eh, Anatoly! I thought that you would pave the asphalt road to me, and you only had enough sand on the rubble ... Well, surely you could not realize some non-core building in the center of Moscow, according to the special price, so that your sister’s husband would experience a deep moral satisfaction from driving on smooth asphalt, and not suffered from these here potholes…
Part II. “What progress has reached”
A miracle of engineering in the service of the law
Six Fingering Thief and adulterer
On Monday, a new progressive technology was publicly tested in Iran: a machine for chopping off fingers. A certain thief, he and the adulterer, who had previously been in court, was the first "experimental", who was to lose four fingers on his right hand. Public amputation Took place on one of the squares of the city of Shiraz.
There are a lot of comments on the Internet about this. First of all, it is necessary to note the mass bewilderment. Media readers are surprised: why is the fifth finger left for the thief? For what such needs? In which such a place poking around? In the nose or not in the nose?
It must be assumed that the instrument of execution is still at the stage of initial testing. The beta version of the machine cuts down only four fingers. You can also assume that the fifth (thumb) left the criminal, which was held in public awesome experience, so that he could protrude a finger, with a famous gesture showing the executioners how well they and their machine work.
Discuss on the Internet and what it would be like these cars introduced in operation in Russia. According to the network anonymous, this device should function in the country without interruption. Others object: they say, in this case a long line will be formed for the disability and the corresponding pensions. Still others, with their inherent black humor, write that after such an innovation, the State Duma would have to establish pedals. To vote. However, these commentators must not remember that the laws - including on new punishments - are being drafted and adopted in this very State Duma. The fourth say that it is impossible to import such cars into Russia: all 142 of a million people, including children and old women, will remain empty. Among the authors of the reviews were also originals, ready to stand behind the machine of the Iranian type and work for free and overtime.
What happened to a man punished in Iran? If four fingers were cut off for his theft, what punishment was he assigned for adultery?
No, in vain you thought about it. The new guillotine cuts only the fingers, the tips of the cigars and cuts the nails. Version 2.0 (export version), according to rumors, will also do circumcision - four at a time. An Iranian thief for adultery was sentenced to ninety-nine lashes and three years in prison.
Shibab-Addim, a connoisseur of American mythology
Between truth and ignorance
Recently it became clear that there is a popular opinion in the Egyptian government: The Holocaust is a myth composed by ... no, not by the Jews - by the Americans. Why did they need to write it? To implement their own political goals. And what about the six million Jews who were killed by the Nazis? And there was no such thing: all these Jews simply collected manatki and moved for permanent residence in the United States.
Approximately this vision of history outlined Egyptian Mr. Fathi Shibab-Eddim, a person close to President Mursi, and also responsible for appointing the editors of all state newspapers. To report to the public his interpretation of history, he chose Holocaust Remembrance Day. On the eve, Mursi himself reminded the masses of a well-known thesis that the Jews are “descendants of monkeys and pigs”, thereby giving the order to their followers.
Shibab-Eddim, this trendsetter in the Egyptian media, stated with pathos that the Holocaust is not an ordinary myth, but a whole American mythological industry, operating under the authority of US intelligence agencies.
But why did the Americans create such a myth? Shibaba also had an answer to this. It turns out that America was able to manipulate the consciousness of the world community already in the distant forties. That was an image attack: the Americans started it with the aim of damaging the image of their fascist German opponents, justifying the destruction of civilian objects during the war, and especially the atomic attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Holocaust survivor 83-year-old Meir Mulbaum cries after viewing an exhibition at the Jerusalem Museum on the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27, 2013). The exhibition presents the personal belongings of those who suffered from the Holocaust. The museum exhibition is organized in memory of the six million Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II. Photo: UPI / Debbie Hill.
Efraim Zuroff, the Israeli director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem, familiarized himself with these “arguments” and shook his head sadly. He wanted to use the artistic style and express himself in the sense that the views of the Egyptian leaders, especially Shibab-Eddyma, are based on one denial tortoise and three whales of ignorance, but he changed his mind and said more simply:
“The sad truth is that these views are quite common in the Arab world and are the result of ignorance, on the one hand, and government-inspired denial of the Holocaust, on the other.”
Terrible geopolitical advertising
Britain has taken a course on scaring visitors
- One word - Romanian.
- So he is Bulgarian.
- What's the difference?
From the movie
- So he is Bulgarian.
- What's the difference?
From the movie
Fearing that Bulgarians and Romanians would flood the UK next year in large numbers, the government of Albion decided to popularly explain to future migrant workers that it was not at all sweet to live in London and its environs.
According to the immigration control organization Migration Watch, over the next five years, about 50 thousands of citizens from Bulgaria and Romania can come to the UK for employment purposes. The fact is that in 2014 year canceled a restriction on their access to work in the UK, in force since 2007, when the two countries joined the EU.
And once there was a threat of a massive influx of migrants and the final stifling of the titular nation, the British authorities, already thinking of leaving the state from the EU, decided to launch a special advertisement for their country in Bulgaria and Romania. The authors of the videos suggest that they blacken the country in such a way that no Bulgarian would want to exchange the beauty of Shipka or, say, the labor exchange in Sofia, for Westminster Abbey or soup kitchen for wanderers in the proletarian slums of London who need capital repairs.
Writers and editors can be advised not to strain your imagination. In the videos for the Romanian and Bulgarian television should show how the British themselves Are looking for "New homeland" in other countries. Nearly two-thirds of British families want to emigrate - due to the bad climate, rudeness of officials, too high taxes, intolerable stupidity of mass culture and public pessimism. Every week from Britain is leaving about one and a half thousand leaders - "in search of a better life." We must try to explain to the incredulous Romanians that everything is so bad in Britain that the British are winding up to Australia, where they still remember what “good old British values” and “community spirit” are. A TV show of prosperous Adelaide at the same time would make it clear to the Bulgarians where the true paradise of the earth is - neither mists to you, nor floods, nor the electorate of Mr. Cameron that has lost confidence.
In parallel to the launched scenes should focus the attention of potential visitors to London on the so-called food banks, without which the British would have died out in droves. Last year, the number of these “banks”, charitable organizations that distribute food to the poor, significantly increased in the country. Those who get up in the UK in hungry lines, over the past year has doubled. New Soup Kitchens are opening up every three days. The number of Britons living in this capstrana below the poverty line is about to exceed 13 millions. Results of a recent survey showedthat for every tenth family in the UK, hunger is an everyday reality.
Those poorly susceptible to the truth of people from Romania and Bulgaria who break through to Britain through awesome ads are going to be tortured with special tests in London: they will be offered migrants to pass an “entrance exam”, whose questions, as the Ministry of the Interior says, will be based on that underlie British being. " This is despite the fact that the British spirit has long moved to Australia.
Immigration applicants will have to show outstanding knowledge of sports, history and even UK music. The exam will include questions: “What was the name of the admiral who died in the naval battle of 1805 of the year, the monument to which was installed on Trafalgar Square in London?”, “What is the monument of the prehistoric period still standing in Wiltshire?” And others.
It is not known whether the members of the British government themselves would have passed a similar test. In one row with the working Bulgarians, it would be nice to put, for example, D. Cameron.
Not so long ago, in September of last year, the British Prime Minister had to answer rather simple questions from the American TV host David Letterman. Last asked the first is about who wrote the patriotic song “Rule, Britain, by the seas!” and what the “Magna Carta” is. Unlike the vast majority of future Romanian migrants, Mr. Cameron graduated from Eton and Oxford. Nevertheless, he did not know who wrote the specified patriotic song. This man also failed to translate into English “Magna Carta” (“Great Charter”). Failing the test, Cameron declared: “You caught me! Now my career is over. ”
Hemp GOST
America lacks Onishchenko
The world has embraced international drug fever. It all began in America - and echoed through Colombia, it reached Russia.
Last year, as is known, in some states of America they legalized marijuana. And now, on the eve of December 2013, when the legal trade in marijuana should begin in Washington, local authorities are thinking: what about consumer protection and everything else, including the quality of the product supplied?
In washington already started searching specialists who would clarify to the authorities how to grow grass properly, how to dry it, to store it. Also, authorities are interested in recipes of Dutch cupcakes. January 30 hosted a forum in Tachoma made up of drug addicts. Responsible for the development of a set of rules under which the "hemp industry" will work, was appointed by the Bureau of Alcohol Control. Not exactly the profile, but for the beginning it will come down.
Today, this bureau needs specialists in four areas: a full cycle of marijuana production (asking to ask people with at least three years of experience); the safety of the use of "grass" and its effect on the human body; determining the quality of the product, as well as the quantity necessary to meet market needs; legal processes and laws accompanying cannabis trafficking at the federal and local level.
Meanwhile, the police began to occur mysterious incidents with marijuana, stored there in the form of material evidence. In Wichita, Kansas, the mouse seems to be nibbled bags of marijuana. According to the investigation version, the rodents (option: one rodent) were looking for a place to make a hole and food. Marijuana came up for both.
In the deduction, the Kansas police officers could not refuse, but, after the contents in the packets diminished, unusual ideas began to come to the heads of the law enforcement officers from Wichita. The police sat down to compile an identikit of the alleged abductor. The team of the whole department stood behind the artist, who, sticking his tongue out, for the first time in his life instead of an unshaven narrow-minded gangster with close-set round eyes, inspiredly created the image of a kidnapper mouse.
In a word, it is difficult to say who consumed more marijuana - mice or policemen.
And with a visit to Russia of one holy father from Colombia, drug fever took on international forms.
Padre Fabio Ricardo Rodriguez, who was keeping eighteen cocaine condoms in his stomach, flew to hospitable Russia in transit through Paris. But the trouble is: he was late for a connecting flight, and he had to wait for the next plane. As soon as he flew to Sheremetyevo, he became ill. In Russia, they treat a nasty state of health almost according to Hasek: no, not by wrapping it in a wet sheet, but no less effective way is by washing the stomach.
Freed from a heavy duty priest who settled in the Khimki prison, рассказалthat he arrived in Russia for missionary purposes. To drive drugs, of course, he was forced by the mafia group.
It is difficult to say what kind of group. Isn't that the one that January 29 offered to legalize not only cocaine and marijuana, but also Ecstasy and methamphetamines in their homeland?
It turned out that this initiative comes from ... the Colombian government. The corresponding proposal is expected to be sent to Congress in March 2013 of the year. The development of the document will take - as appropriate in the United States - experts and scientists. They will join and the former president of the country Cesar Gaviria.
The basis of the idea of legalization put the well-known idea that the decriminalization of the drug business would put an end to drug trafficking. You can add to this that legalizing the services of killers, poisoners, rapists, man-eating freaks, terrorists, gangsters and bribe-takers would also help to end the corresponding types of criminal business. The world would be completely cleansed of criminals.
Such a simple and brilliant idea does not reach the Russians. At least, it does not reach one vigilant citizen of Orenburg, who sees ambushes of drug dealers at every corner, gathered to destroy their native Russia.
Citizen Vladimir Savinkov in writing addressed to the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Orenburg Region. In a statement, the comrade indicated that the statue of the fountain "Friendship of Peoples" ("Sheaf of Plenty"), along with the pavilion "Geology" at the All-Russian Exhibition Center, promote cannabis use. Designated objects should be demolished so that they do not embarrass young people.
Moreover, according to Comrade Savinkov, advertise drug products and large world-famous companies. For example, Coca-Cola reminds people of coke. As for the perfume "Opium", then about him and the explanation is not required. But the worst thing is Red Candy candies ...
Comrade Savinkov did not elaborate what people are reminded of in the bread store with poppy seeds in a bread shop.
Soprano replaced the baritone
Hillary Clinton has retired
Friday was the last working day of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: she was replaced by John Kerry. And therefore there is a correct suggestion to remember this extraordinary woman with a kind word. If you think that there will be nothing to remember, then you are mistaken.
Outstanding Hillary, during her fruitful work at the State Department, became famous for the fact that 20 sang the party in the choir "Assad must leave." Agree, this is not for everyone. Voice can derail.
Throughout the Arab Spring, Hillary lucidly explained to the world that where there is oil, the United States usually finds a flaw in democracy. Speaking last May at the University of Syracuse (New York), H. Clinton expressed herself quite frankly: “Diplomacy in the energy sector is a critical factor in our national security, and not only in terms of meeting the energy needs of the United States at an affordable price. but also from the point of view of the role that energy plays in our relations with other regions of the world. ”
None other than the unforgettable Hillary exclaimed “Wow!” When she received news of the capture of Muammar Gaddafi on her mobile phone. Upon learning that Gaddafi was dead, she said: “They came, they saw, he died”.
It was H. Clinton, preaching democracy in the American way, and in her spare time advertising the services of the Westinghouse company, toured 112 countries, for which her colleagues presented her with a t-shirt with this number, and at the same time a protective helmet of an American football player fell and did not shake its precious brain.
In December, while in Dublin as part of the 38 tour, H. Clinton announced to the whole world about the coming “re-Sovietization” of Central Asia - under the guise of the Customs or the Eurasian Union - and made it clear that Great America would develop “effective ways” and “re-Sovietization "Will not allow. It’s not for you to clap flies — stand on the totalitarian path of Comrade Putin.
On the democratic path, Mrs. Clinton was accompanied by constant success everywhere. In countries where the Arab Spring was held, Americans have been hated before, but since 2012, the hatred of the population has become fierce. Al-Qaida, which now embodies the ideals of democracy in Syria, said that after Damascus, the next item of jihad is Washington. Ambassador K. Stevens and three more Americans were killed in Libya. America had to abandon its friendship with Egypt that was in the spring. The Prime Minister of Iraq, Comrade Al-Maliki, made it clear to the White House that his country was not someone's “patrimony”. Even in Russia, they grew bolder and forced NGOs — these Moscow conductors of overseas ideas — to register themselves as paid “foreign agents”. After all this, the US senators praised the Secretary of State for the fact that her efforts had greatly improved the image of the United States in the world and established trusting relationships with many countries.
However, the senators - not these, others - tried and scolded Clinton: for example, because of the death of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi. But in response, she masterfully threw a tantrum. For any other woman, this would be a political failure, but not for Hillary. After being interrogated in the Senate, her “rating of favorableness” reached 67% (“Washington Post” / “ABC News”). This means that sixty-seven percent of Americans respond positively to the activities of the Secretary of State. H. Clinton is now considered the definitive favorite of the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential race. Not the fact that she will go to the presidency, but it is known that she considers herself to be a bright role model for women leaders all over the world. Indiscreetly? I think no.
After all, Hillary Clinton achieved what no one before her in the White House has achieved: in the American press they wrote that the chief in the Oval Office is she, and not the president. A few days ago, Hillary went on CBS on television with Obama, who had never given a joint interview with anyone except his wife. Barak Hussein did not stint on honey: he called Hillary his friend and “one of the best secretaries of state” in the entire history of the country.
Finally, the former American secretary of state, like any intelligent person, cannot be denied self-criticism. Once Hillary said: "The essence of smart power is smart people!" And another time she admitted: "Everyone would like me to sit at home, bake pancakes and serve tea."
Not every wife and mother, even in the name of the bright future of their homeland, is able to refuse to bake pancakes and brew tea.
