Healthy and educated Military Industrial Commission
Who entered the new composition of the military-industrial complex under the Government of the Russian Federation?
On the portal of the Government of Russia, the updated composition of the Military-Industrial Commission was published this week. The composition, as usual, turned out to be impressive and representative. Now, in the military-industrial complex, the organization and coordination of the activities of various federal executive bodies in solving military-industrial issues, military-technical support of the defense of Russia, and security and development of the law-enforcement system in the state will be solved by 60 people. As they say, one head is good, but sixty is definitely better. Moreover, 60 heads, which are well versed in military-industrial issues, have a wealth of experience in the very coordination of federal agencies in full compliance with state laws. The head of the commission is again the vice-premier of the Government of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Rogozin, who should coordinate the actions of the coordinators in the military-industrial complex. And who in the subordinate coordinators? We will not fully list the members of the MIC, because every inquisitive reader can find it on the website of the Russian government, and touch only some of its parties.
Military-Industrial Commission. Well, of course - the Minister of Defense, the Chief of the General Staff, the Director of the Defense Industry Department, the Director of Rosoboronzakaz, the Minister of Industry and even the Minister of Finance. But among 60-ti members are found such personalities as, for example, Dmitry Livanov (head of the Ministry of Education and Science) or Veronika Skvortsova (Minister of Health).
No, of course, no one is going to argue that education, science and health play an important role in improving the effectiveness of the defense industry. But if so, then why is the Minister of Health one of the permanent members of the military-industrial complex, and the minister Livanov is prepared for a chair only among 37 ordinary members of the commission (that is, variables)? And what is the specific task in the MIC of these particular members? Apparently, a situation may arise when they say in the military industrial complex: that's enough, Dmitry Viktorovich, you have done your job, and then the military industry does not need education and science ...
Honestly speaking, in general, it is difficult to imagine that education and health officials take an active part in discussions about the development of the military-industrial sector. Of course, they can attend the commission, but only what constructive proposals will they make if they consider whether to continue or stop purchasing, for example, unmanned aircraft from Israel or logistical support for repair facilities of the Ministry of Defense. Maybe everything will happen like this:
- Gentlemen, we are going to develop a plan for the military-technical support of the country, according to which endts of new submarines must be purchased for up to two thousand end of the end of the year.
And then Veronika Skvortsova suddenly gets up and says: Gentlemen, the plan is good, but I am against it, because your submarines can pollute the waters of our seas, which will negatively affect the quality of seafood that our citizens eat. And therefore - my word as a medic: “no!”
And all in one voice: Well, if Veronika Igorevna is against, it means that we cross out the submarines from the list ...
Or so.
- Gentlemen, we must adopt a directive, according to which our enterprises need to reduce the production of missiles for air defense systems to X as many as several tenths of thousands of units a year.
The Minister of Education Livanov gets up and suddenly says: forgive, not to shorten, but to optimize ...
Thank you, Dmitry Viktorovich, for the exact term found ... And they said there: why Livanov, why Livanov? Heh, it came in handy!
If so, then it was necessary, for example, to include the chief sanitary doctor in the commission: what if one of the members had food poisoning in the buffet or a barking cough ...
IQ (IQ) minimum - normal flight
Ministry of Education adopts “best practices”
In the meantime, Education Minister Dmitry Livanov with 59-th other members of the military industrial complex discusses the issues of improving the defense industry in Russia, strange conflicts occur with the Russian education itself. In particular, according to the oral declarations of the Russian authorities, it is necessary to reorient the educational system in such a way that from the state of “unafraid” lawyers and economists (that is, people who received appropriate “crusts” in doubtful branches of no less doubtful universities) of which working professions would be valued no less, for example, office ones. Repeatedly from high tribunes, words were said that it was enough to produce office plankton, which wipes pants in laying out Solitaire Klondike, you need to switch to high-quality training of personnel: metalworkers, welders, machine operators, installers of radio-electronic equipment, etc. That is, the system of advanced primary and secondary vocational education. However, the new federal educational standard with the adopted law on education, to put it mildly, is surprising. Firstly, the law does not regulate the system of elementary vocational education at all, that is, it doesn’t seem to be there anymore, and secondly, higher education goes to the classical western system with undergraduates and half-graduates. On the very western system from which the West itself is already crying.
In order not to be unsubstantiated, it suffices to give the example of the United States of America, where even the army has sounded the alarm lately. It turned out that 16% of American young people among the so-called white population and about 40% among African-American (excuse me, black) last year could not even answer 30 questions from 99 in the test (lightweight IQ test) to qualify for contract service ... At the same time, a certain number of “applicants” in their pockets had diplomas of very prestigious colleges by American standards ...
That is, it turns out that our Ministry of Education decided to take all the “best” in the West as “best practice” and transfer it to Russian reality: eliminate initial vocational education, reduce the connection of vocational educational institutions with manufacturing enterprises to absolute zero, and higher professional education to optimize "to the ground, and then ... And then - to 30% not suitable for military service for health reasons in Russia, 30% will also be added, which did not pass the initial level test schools (according to US experience and likeness) ...
In the meantime, all these laws of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation promoted, in the same structure, a gentleman like Felix Shamkhalov (chairman of the Higher Attestation Commission and Honored Scientist from 30 years - not like “some” Kapitsa) worked in the same structure, which combined profitable labor the activity of stamping “crusts” for “fake” candidates and doctors of science with a no less profitable activity of embezzling funds for running a personal construction business. Indeed, not Kapitsa ... Today Shamkhalov is arrested. Maybe it was after the arrest of Felix Imiraslanovich that there would be time to confirm the validity of the theses of a certain circle of people without protesting and copy-paste ...
Is the ruble really worth more?
The economy must be "burgeronomic"
The global economic crisis forces us to use new levers to improve the economy or look for ways to determine the stability or instability of currencies. During the week a new report of the so-called “burgeronomy” was published, which assesses various currencies of the world not with the help of oil, gold or production indicators, but with the help of such products of “McDonald's” as “Big Mac”. The research, which is noteworthy, is not carried out by those people with red visors who are obliged to do 300 duty once a day to shout something like “Free cash!”, But rather prominent economists.
In particular, such a study is conducted by such an authoritative journal in the West as The Economist. So, according to the research of this magazine, it turned out that one of the most undervalued currencies in the world is our Russian ruble. How did you find out? The technique is approximately the same: compare the price of the "Big Mac" in the Russian "McDonald's" with the price of the same, God forgive me, the goods in American establishments. If we compare it according to this scheme, then it turns out that “our” Big Mac in terms of their currency is worth 2,43 dollar (73,26 p.), And “their” Big Mac without any transfer is 4,37 dollar. From such a disproportion in prices, American economists conclude that the Russian ruble is undervalued in the world market by almost half, that is, the dollar price today should be no more than 16 rubles for one gray-green unit.
It would seem that from such an assessment the Russians should begin to dance and dance with smiles on their faces. After all, sort of like we are now properly rated. However ... The American specialists attributed to the undervalued currencies by Big Makovsky measures also the Chinese yuan, the Indian rupee, the South African rand, the Argentine peso, the Ukrainian hryvnia and a dozen other currencies. But the dollar and the euro are currencies that, according to the version of The Economist, are priced correctly ...
In other words, in the US, they are trying to tell us that it is time to urgently raise the value of your currency in order to allow goods from the European Union and the United States to completely flood the shelves of Russian stores (as was the case, for example, in the first half of 90). This is not the first year Washington has been repeating this to our eastern neighbors the Chinese. But the “Chinese” “Big Mac”, however, is adamant. Almost like “ours.” The Americans do not know that the cost of the Russian version of "Big Mac" includes also a toilet visit at McDonalds by those people who have not found a free place for the administration of natural needs ... So the Economist will have to recalculate ...
Ramzan Kadyrov: the correct report
How to report to the head of state
This week, President Vladimir Putin met with the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. It took place after Vladimir Putin declared the illegitimacy of demands for the return of funds from those residents of Krymsk who received funds by mistake of the settlement departments. On the one hand, President Putin’s promise looks generous, but on the other hand, it turns out that those who simply deceived the state received an indulgence at that time by extracting funds by fraud. And according to the testimony of the residents of Krymsk, there were quite a few such speculators in the city. As a result, a strange situation has arisen, when fraudsters profited from the tragedy, and the government forgave their fraud. Somehow too generous, if we consider that some residents of the city that suffered from the monstrous floods, are still trying to get their payments ...
However, let us return to the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Ramzan Kadyrov. Moreover, the meeting was very emotional - mainly from the head of the Chechen Republic.
While the president of the country was trying to delve into the essence of the changes that have taken place in Chechnya lately, Ramzan Kadyrov painted everything with bright colors. If stenographers were present at the meeting, then they would hardly keep up with Ramzan Akhmatovich, who assured the head of state that in Chechnya not only the most efficient economy in all of Russia, but also the most transparent budget in the country. According to Kadyrov, it turned out that not a single terrorist act was committed in the Chechen Republic for the entire 2012 year, and teachers began to receive such a salary that they could not carry it away immediately, and therefore they have to return to school about 25 once a month ... unemployment, if not finished, then almost. It remains to employ literally only Astemir from Achkhoi-Martan, Abdulmuslim from Argun and Madina from Gudermes ... And the fact that 135 of thousands of people can suddenly stay without light at once in Grozny, is it really worth mentioning with such a general Chechen idyll ...
The “roof” of the underground business was returned to Russia
"Luck" for the ex-prosecutor
This week, perhaps the most recognizable ex-prosecutor of Russia (after a man who resembles ex-Prosecutor General Skuratov) returned to his native Russian penates - Alexander Ignatenko. He returned by the will of one of the most humane courts in the world - the Polish court. The Poles decided to send the ex-prosecutor, whom in Russia was very much awaited due to his involvement in the so-called gambling business, “home”. At the same time, the Polish Themis handed Mr. Ignatenko to Moscow only after they promised in Moscow to drop all charges of fraud from the ex-prosecutor, and leave only the charge of taking bribes.
Alexander Ignatenko, whom many Russians know from a series of photographs at a banquet table embracing the owner of a network of underground casinos in the Moscow region, Ivan Nazarov, does not recognize his guilt, as usual, and does not understand the meaning of the word “bribe” at all. "Vyatka, handle, signet" - understands, and "bribe" - no ...
In addition, Alexander Ignatenko decided to take advantage of the fashionable at the present time option of communicating with the investigating authorities, namely, silence. If the ex-ministers are silent in Russia, then why ex-prosecutors cannot keep silent "in conversation" with the investigators ... However, ex-ministers can stitch something on paper, but the ex-prosecutor could not. Maybe for the months of his stay in a Polish prison, Russian began to forget? Of course, you will forget that when you are around "psha", then "bzha" ...
Meanwhile, the lawyer of Mr. Ignatenko also states that during his time in the Polish “dungeons” his client showed up a whole bunch of diseases that could be completely knocked down by the ex-prosecutor, if the Russian Themis began to “press” him. At the same time, many who happened to see Ignatenko after his stay in the very Polish dungeons, declare that, at least outwardly, the former prosecutor looks very cool - in the prosecutor's office ... No tattoos on the phalanxes of your fingers, no fixes. Maybe there was a criminal jargon, but who will check - the ex-prosecutor is silent ...
But in the time spent in Poland, Ignatenko clearly managed to remember such a word as “prison.” In Polish, it looks like “więzienie”. Alexander Ignatenko counts on this “luck” (and not at all in Polish) in Russia. There are a lot of precedents because ...
Part II. “And you will be cured, and you will be cured. And they will cure me. ”
Right Chinese life without Ferrari and Rolex
Refusing to take bribes, refuse to luxury
The essence of a clear and verified policy is in the unity of those who pursue this policy, that is, it implements in full agreement and without democratic procrastination, which only tears the management vector, turning a straight line into ridiculous zigzags and giving open space to lobbying lobbyists and mature matrimonaries.
The Chinese media regulator, the state administration for radio and television broadcasting (State Administration of Radio, Film and Television), cannot refuse this logic. SARFT in accordance with the general line of the party ordered the TV channels and radio stations remove from broadcasting advertising expensive gifts.
The ban followed the February meeting of the country's leadership 4. The leaders of China advised citizens to be more economical and avoid waste. It was also said about the continuation of the fight against corruption. Earlier, last fall, servants in the PRC were officially forbidden to accept expensive gifts and spend money on banquets.
Thus, in the state administration for radio and television broadcasting, they took note of the call of the CPC General Secretary Xi Jinping to step up the fight against corruption. In late January, the Secretary General saidthat it is necessary to fight not only with “tigers” - high-ranking officials-bribe takers, but also with “fleas” - low-ranking civil servants who also violate the law.
Luxury advertising, SARFT notes, promotes false values and forms bad social ideals.
Behind all this is seen a rejection of the values of the consumer society, adopted in the United States and Western Europe. Also clearly visible is the course towards smoothing out of harsh social boundaries: indeed, in the PRC lives 251 is a dollar billionaire and at the same time in rural areas there are 128 million poor people whose annual income per person is less than 2,3 thousand yuan (368 dollars). Continuing the declared course, the government announced a program to raise the minimum wage in the PRC. By 2015, in the cities, it should grow by almost 40%, and the number of poor people in the country should be reduced by 80 million.
There is one more goal, which, it should be noted, is not directly mentioned. The decisions of the CCP and their implementation of SARFT, which imposed a ban on the display of bottles with elite alcohol price of several hundred dollars or gold watches on television, eliminates the reason for the unpleasant feeling that can arise from a poor citizen when looking at the screen. This feeling is not necessarily envy or hatred, forcing the AK store to fill with cartridges. Just as Facebook brings Europeans who are obsessed with consumerism and “success”, Chinese television offering Ferrari on 99,9% to outsiders is made to poor citizens by inadvertently depressed Europeans who are obsessed with consumerism and “success” that they were either born at the wrong time and in the wrong place, or the fortune from its very birth turned to their ass.
Another thing now: gold and alcohol for 500 bucks declared bad taste, and even fell under the ban.
Subtle hint of obama
McCain does not distinguish the president from the monkey
Not so long ago, an Iranian monkey flew into space. The Americans said that the wrong monkey had returned from space, with wool of a different color and without a mole. Well, God be with them, with the Americans. Following the monkey into orbit, or even to meet with extraterrestrial intelligence in the area of the cold planet Pluto, Comrade Ahmadinejad decided to leave. As president of Iran, he said about readiness to become the first astronaut in the Islamic Republic.
And here again the Americans got into the business. The white-haired Republican McCain, secretly sympathizing with the Ku Klux Klan, holding a shabby volume of “Mein Kampf” under his pillow, and continuing to hate the “narrow-eyed” people who didn’t adore him in the Vietnamese pit at night, explained the world community in English in a rather sharp way, that de Mahmoud in space was last week.
The senator entered Twitter and wrote: “Ahmadinejad wants to be the first Iranian in space? Had he not been there last week? ”
And so that the stupid fellow citizens and, in general, those people of the world who read the Internet in the advanced language of modernity, better understand his idea, he provided his tweet with a link news about the launch into space of a biocapsule with a monkey.
No matter how hard McCain tried to be intelligible, they still did not understand him. The citizens called him a man who does not know how to behave, xenophobe and racist.
Earlier, the pale-faced 76-year-old Republican senator has already been attacked by society — for example, because he publicly responded to the United States Permanent Representative to the UN, Susan Rice, as a person who “does not shine his mind.” For this he was branded not only a racist, but also a sexist.
Is it possible for McCain to know that in Washington, apart from McCain himself, only one person shines his mind? No, not Obama. And not Mitt Romney, for whom the senator was rooting for last year’s elections. This brilliant - John Favreau, the writer of all the speeches of Mr. Obama. The president, we dare to suggest, did not say a single phrase on his own, with the exception of the theses about inventing a car in the USA and the existence of 57 states in the USA - but then in both cases he had a finger in the sky. It was John Favreau, a devoted speechwriter who inspired the American people to win a victorious war with Libya. This Favreau through the mouth of Obama thanked the Nobel Committee in 2009 for the bonus money issued in advance. And this Favreau, who worked for Obama with 23 for years, finally failed to withstand the inertia of the White House, quit and went to Hollywood, where his talents would be appreciated.
So what did the world public overlook in “tweet” McCain, rightly sticking an “racist” label to an old senator and veteran?
If John McCain is considered the monkey of the Iranian president, then which detachment of artiodactyls counts the senator of the black US president?
Detroit state as a public laboratory
Citizenship price - 300.000 dollars
A new nation is about to appear in Detroit. Unless, of course, its potential representatives scrape the citizenship of money.
The founding father of the new nation, Rodney Lockwood, a major entrepreneur working in real estate, was going to buy Bell Isle, a park of 400 hectares. Having received it into private ownership, which, taking into account the empty city treasury of the collapsing city, it may well happen, he will make efforts to turn the park ... into an independent state.
Already assigned a price for citizenship - 300 thousand dollars. No, you do not understand: no commerce. Money is money, and Lockwood's goal is to "create an economic and social laboratory for a society that can effectively solve some of the key problems of Americans and the entire Western world."
The businessman believes that the Detroit authorities are selling Bell Isle to a group of investors for a billion dollars. The island is being built and transformed into a city-state with a population of thousands of people in 35. There will act its own laws, will have its own customs and currency. The new country will be under the supervision of the United States (and, obviously, to enter into a union of states). On the banks of the Detroit River, the newly-born Utopian of the 21st century is planning to build factories. Somehow, companies from all over the world with their capitals will immediately appear. Moreover, local government spending will be limited to 10% or less of GDP: the “dictatorship of the constitution” will not allow spending more.
By the way, three hundred thousand Americans are not enough to fully settle in the new state. For a plot of land will have to pay separately. For 300 thousands, only one “of the fundamental values” of the new nation is acquired, as Lockwood writes, and more specifically, “respect for all its citizens, regardless of social status”.
- Do you respect me? Give me three hundred thousand!
As with the plans of all previous utopians, the Lockwood project lacks detail. Judge for yourself: people who lay out three hundred thousand greens only for citizenship, and even some for a piece of land (and if the piece is bigger, for a factory, they will lay out three times thousands of times), they will not work on Bell-Isle . Not those people who would have woken up with pleasure at four in the morning, would have gnawed three crusts of bread and at the call of the factory pipe, cheerfully singing “The Internationale”, poked to the tram stop.
So the 35.000 citizens of the new Detroit are all millionaires. Who will work? The author of the utopian project leaves this question open.
Leo Tolstoy, analyzing the works of the Marxists, could not assimilate in any way: who in the bright future, overwhelmed with high consciousness, will begin to clean cesspools and clean the toilets? Ivan Bunin wrote in the memoirs that Tolstoy had read fourteen thousand books. And if the Yasnaya Polyana sage did not understand how a distant happy society will be arranged, then we will be forgiven to ask ourselves: what kind of Chinese or Mexicans will be needed by Bell-Is plants and factories to ensure a full and free life for those thirty-five million millionaires who intend either smoking bamboo, then whipping the bamboo of those who do not obey the “dictatorship of the constitution”?
Eight Putin and six Obama
Last degree geopolitical astigmatism
In the West, they say that Comrade Putin was no less than six. Some (most reputable) experts operate on the number eight. Vladimir Vladimirovich is too different. If in the 2000 year the first V.P.P. rules ruled, now the fifth or seventh sits on the throne. Probably, they alternate, arranging for themselves weekends and picnics on the Kremlin’s lawns. You never know which one you are dealing with. Before you start a dialogue, you have to determine what number of ears has bowed before you. It’s one thing the old man from 2000 of the year, which Boris Yeltsin blessed for the democratic kingdom, and quite another is this youthful type, in front of which Obama is now fawning.
Russian experts Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy, staff at the Brookings Institution, подготовили to the publication of the book “Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin ”(“ Mr. Putin: Agent in the Kremlin ”). The authors counted six Putin's: A statesman, Historical Personality, Fighter for Survival, Outsider, Merchant and Operative. Macho and Cruel Autocrat are added to this list.
What all eight types have in common is the desire of Comrade Putin to impress stupid America, that the West needs Russia much more than Russia needs - in the West.
As a result, the experts come to the inadequate conclusion for the United States: it’s hard to deal with Putin: he knows what he wants!
Thus, the Americans recognized Putin as a whole person.
Another thing - Mr. Obama. The book does not examine the number of Obama personalities, but in vain. Having examined one side of the coin, eminent American analysts have overlooked the other.
Let's ask ourselves: how many Obama is in the White House?
The first, a violent pacifist, an opponent of torture and a supporter of world peace, promised before the presidential election in 2008, to close the Guantanamo prison and to introduce control over the arms trade, which had been abolished in 2004,. Control is introduced, despite the nearly daily shooting in the United States, and the prison is functioning. This Obama is a typical representative of a double-standard political establishment. In 2009, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize - standard western silver coins, which are issued in advance.
Obama's second identity is fighting terrorism around the world - from Libya to Iran. Even Syria, and that included in the United States in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism. Now this version of Obama is thinking about including in the list of North Korea. There, they say, a bad cartoon about America was shown.
A third Obama, the future Caliph, an ardent Islamist, an opponent of the Declaration of Independence and a supporter of the state Sharia who honors the portrait of bin Laden (who was killed by the second number) and his living al-Zawahiri, immediately appears. Friday is sacred for him, precisely because Obama often misses secret sessions scheduled for this day of the week. The third bearded Obama - in Arafat, with AK-47 in one hand and the green banner of Islam in the other, girded with machine-gun tape and hung with grenades, starring against the flaming embassy in Benghazi - is a collective image of a fighter for world sharia.
The fourth Obama is a true American, cracking home-made beer and eating unhealthy fatty foods. Nobody knows who his wife is, but not at all Michel, a champion of healthy food and the initiator of the campaign to rid the US army of fat people. Obama №4 can often be met during the election campaign 2012 year. This is a simple, tipsy black guy in a cap, with a short haircut and a frown, simply having pork ribs in a spicy sauce and “forgetting” to pay for them.
The fifth president, who is known in Russia as Barak Husseinovich Obama, graduated from the Patrice Lumumba University of Peoples' Friendship in the USSR in the USSR, then made a quick career in the KGB, which he continued in the FSB. Being successfully introduced into 2004 in the US Senate, he still faithfully serves as an agent for Comrade Putin. Under Obama # XXNX, McCain-type hawks were neutralized (lost the election on 5), Hillary Clinton’s campaign (Obama’s first protégé) to occupy Syria failed, and the Qatari and Saudis didn’t wait for the team to bring down oil prices in order to break up the resurgent Russia In the coming years, an agent of the Kremlin plans to accomplish the tasks set to further loosen the Fed, increase government debt, increase inflation in the US, and continue building the Stalinist camp system. The Department of Homeland Security will speed up the purchase of cartridges, and opposition activist Alex Jones from Infowars.com will pull out his hair on his head, refusing to try to count plastic coffins harvested in the country - for those Americans who vote against US accession to the new USSR and refuse to work in the Atlantic branch Gulag for the benefit of the new Soviet homeland.
Finally, the sixth Obama is a jurist-lawyer like Bill Gates, not without parental connections and money settling for a warm place in Washington. Unlike George W. Bush, he rarely appears on television, he avoids approaching the world map, and says little and nothing on paper. What he says, sometimes ridiculously distorting accents and transcriptions, is written by his speechwriter, John Favreau. Now, John is leaving to work in Hollywood (Barak Hussein did not spoil his fees), and the White House administration hired the president of a new low-income writer, Cody Keenan. Previously, this man composed mourning speeches. He was also noticed with performances at the funeral, where he filled wind musical pauses.
Yes, you understood correctly. Rumor has it that five Obama for America is enough. This rich Russia can feed eight Putin, and the financial crisis is rampant in the US. Moreover, all of America sighs: she would also like someone like the Russian president, who is so comprehensible and so purposeful, instead of being split up ...
* “Who is your kings, for example, the last? Anyone? So I am the first! ”- a phrase from the cartoon“ Last year’s snow fell ”.
Healthy and educated Military Industrial Commission
Who entered the new composition of the military-industrial complex under the Government of the Russian Federation?

At the same time, a certain number of “applicants” in their pockets had diplomas of very prestigious colleges by American standards ...
That is, it turns out that our Ministry of Education decided to take all the “best” in the West as “best practice” and transfer it to Russian reality: eliminate initial vocational education, reduce the connection of vocational educational institutions with manufacturing enterprises to absolute zero, and higher professional education to optimize "to the ground, and then ... And then - to 30% not suitable for military service for health reasons in Russia, 30% will also be added, which did not pass the initial level test schools (according to US experience and likeness) ...
In the meantime, all these laws of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation promoted, in the same structure, a gentleman like Felix Shamkhalov (chairman of the Higher Attestation Commission and Honored Scientist from 30 years - not like “some” Kapitsa) worked in the same structure, which combined profitable labor the activity of stamping “crusts” for “fake” candidates and doctors of science with a no less profitable activity of embezzling funds for running a personal construction business. Indeed, not Kapitsa ... Today Shamkhalov is arrested. Maybe it was after the arrest of Felix Imiraslanovich that there would be time to confirm the validity of the theses of a certain circle of people without protesting and copy-paste ...
Is the ruble really worth more?
The economy must be "burgeronomic"
The global economic crisis forces us to use new levers to improve the economy or look for ways to determine the stability or instability of currencies. During the week a new report of the so-called “burgeronomy” was published, which assesses various currencies of the world not with the help of oil, gold or production indicators, but with the help of such products of “McDonald's” as “Big Mac”. The research, which is noteworthy, is not carried out by those people with red visors who are obliged to do 300 duty once a day to shout something like “Free cash!”, But rather prominent economists.
In particular, such a study is conducted by such an authoritative journal in the West as The Economist. So, according to the research of this magazine, it turned out that one of the most undervalued currencies in the world is our Russian ruble. How did you find out? The technique is approximately the same: compare the price of the "Big Mac" in the Russian "McDonald's" with the price of the same, God forgive me, the goods in American establishments. If we compare it according to this scheme, then it turns out that “our” Big Mac in terms of their currency is worth 2,43 dollar (73,26 p.), And “their” Big Mac without any transfer is 4,37 dollar. From such a disproportion in prices, American economists conclude that the Russian ruble is undervalued in the world market by almost half, that is, the dollar price today should be no more than 16 rubles for one gray-green unit.
It would seem that from such an assessment the Russians should begin to dance and dance with smiles on their faces. After all, sort of like we are now properly rated. However ... The American specialists attributed to the undervalued currencies by Big Makovsky measures also the Chinese yuan, the Indian rupee, the South African rand, the Argentine peso, the Ukrainian hryvnia and a dozen other currencies. But the dollar and the euro are currencies that, according to the version of The Economist, are priced correctly ...
In other words, in the US, they are trying to tell us that it is time to urgently raise the value of your currency in order to allow goods from the European Union and the United States to completely flood the shelves of Russian stores (as was the case, for example, in the first half of 90). This is not the first year Washington has been repeating this to our eastern neighbors the Chinese. But the “Chinese” “Big Mac”, however, is adamant. Almost like “ours.” The Americans do not know that the cost of the Russian version of "Big Mac" includes also a toilet visit at McDonalds by those people who have not found a free place for the administration of natural needs ... So the Economist will have to recalculate ...
Ramzan Kadyrov: the correct report
How to report to the head of state
This week, President Vladimir Putin met with the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. It took place after Vladimir Putin declared the illegitimacy of demands for the return of funds from those residents of Krymsk who received funds by mistake of the settlement departments. On the one hand, President Putin’s promise looks generous, but on the other hand, it turns out that those who simply deceived the state received an indulgence at that time by extracting funds by fraud. And according to the testimony of the residents of Krymsk, there were quite a few such speculators in the city. As a result, a strange situation has arisen, when fraudsters profited from the tragedy, and the government forgave their fraud. Somehow too generous, if we consider that some residents of the city that suffered from the monstrous floods, are still trying to get their payments ...
However, let us return to the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Ramzan Kadyrov. Moreover, the meeting was very emotional - mainly from the head of the Chechen Republic.
While the president of the country was trying to delve into the essence of the changes that have taken place in Chechnya lately, Ramzan Kadyrov painted everything with bright colors. If stenographers were present at the meeting, then they would hardly keep up with Ramzan Akhmatovich, who assured the head of state that in Chechnya not only the most efficient economy in all of Russia, but also the most transparent budget in the country. According to Kadyrov, it turned out that not a single terrorist act was committed in the Chechen Republic for the entire 2012 year, and teachers began to receive such a salary that they could not carry it away immediately, and therefore they have to return to school about 25 once a month ... unemployment, if not finished, then almost. It remains to employ literally only Astemir from Achkhoi-Martan, Abdulmuslim from Argun and Madina from Gudermes ... And the fact that 135 of thousands of people can suddenly stay without light at once in Grozny, is it really worth mentioning with such a general Chechen idyll ...
The “roof” of the underground business was returned to Russia
"Luck" for the ex-prosecutor
This week, perhaps the most recognizable ex-prosecutor of Russia (after a man who resembles ex-Prosecutor General Skuratov) returned to his native Russian penates - Alexander Ignatenko. He returned by the will of one of the most humane courts in the world - the Polish court. The Poles decided to send the ex-prosecutor, whom in Russia was very much awaited due to his involvement in the so-called gambling business, “home”. At the same time, the Polish Themis handed Mr. Ignatenko to Moscow only after they promised in Moscow to drop all charges of fraud from the ex-prosecutor, and leave only the charge of taking bribes.
Alexander Ignatenko, whom many Russians know from a series of photographs at a banquet table embracing the owner of a network of underground casinos in the Moscow region, Ivan Nazarov, does not recognize his guilt, as usual, and does not understand the meaning of the word “bribe” at all. "Vyatka, handle, signet" - understands, and "bribe" - no ...
In addition, Alexander Ignatenko decided to take advantage of the fashionable at the present time option of communicating with the investigating authorities, namely, silence. If the ex-ministers are silent in Russia, then why ex-prosecutors cannot keep silent "in conversation" with the investigators ... However, ex-ministers can stitch something on paper, but the ex-prosecutor could not. Maybe for the months of his stay in a Polish prison, Russian began to forget? Of course, you will forget that when you are around "psha", then "bzha" ...
Meanwhile, the lawyer of Mr. Ignatenko also states that during his time in the Polish “dungeons” his client showed up a whole bunch of diseases that could be completely knocked down by the ex-prosecutor, if the Russian Themis began to “press” him. At the same time, many who happened to see Ignatenko after his stay in the very Polish dungeons, declare that, at least outwardly, the former prosecutor looks very cool - in the prosecutor's office ... No tattoos on the phalanxes of your fingers, no fixes. Maybe there was a criminal jargon, but who will check - the ex-prosecutor is silent ...
But in the time spent in Poland, Ignatenko clearly managed to remember such a word as “prison.” In Polish, it looks like “więzienie”. Alexander Ignatenko counts on this “luck” (and not at all in Polish) in Russia. There are a lot of precedents because ...
Part II. “And you will be cured, and you will be cured. And they will cure me. ”
Right Chinese life without Ferrari and Rolex
Refusing to take bribes, refuse to luxury
The essence of a clear and verified policy is in the unity of those who pursue this policy, that is, it implements in full agreement and without democratic procrastination, which only tears the management vector, turning a straight line into ridiculous zigzags and giving open space to lobbying lobbyists and mature matrimonaries.
The Chinese media regulator, the state administration for radio and television broadcasting (State Administration of Radio, Film and Television), cannot refuse this logic. SARFT in accordance with the general line of the party ordered the TV channels and radio stations remove from broadcasting advertising expensive gifts.
The ban followed the February meeting of the country's leadership 4. The leaders of China advised citizens to be more economical and avoid waste. It was also said about the continuation of the fight against corruption. Earlier, last fall, servants in the PRC were officially forbidden to accept expensive gifts and spend money on banquets.
Thus, in the state administration for radio and television broadcasting, they took note of the call of the CPC General Secretary Xi Jinping to step up the fight against corruption. In late January, the Secretary General saidthat it is necessary to fight not only with “tigers” - high-ranking officials-bribe takers, but also with “fleas” - low-ranking civil servants who also violate the law.
Luxury advertising, SARFT notes, promotes false values and forms bad social ideals.
Behind all this is seen a rejection of the values of the consumer society, adopted in the United States and Western Europe. Also clearly visible is the course towards smoothing out of harsh social boundaries: indeed, in the PRC lives 251 is a dollar billionaire and at the same time in rural areas there are 128 million poor people whose annual income per person is less than 2,3 thousand yuan (368 dollars). Continuing the declared course, the government announced a program to raise the minimum wage in the PRC. By 2015, in the cities, it should grow by almost 40%, and the number of poor people in the country should be reduced by 80 million.
There is one more goal, which, it should be noted, is not directly mentioned. The decisions of the CCP and their implementation of SARFT, which imposed a ban on the display of bottles with elite alcohol price of several hundred dollars or gold watches on television, eliminates the reason for the unpleasant feeling that can arise from a poor citizen when looking at the screen. This feeling is not necessarily envy or hatred, forcing the AK store to fill with cartridges. Just as Facebook brings Europeans who are obsessed with consumerism and “success”, Chinese television offering Ferrari on 99,9% to outsiders is made to poor citizens by inadvertently depressed Europeans who are obsessed with consumerism and “success” that they were either born at the wrong time and in the wrong place, or the fortune from its very birth turned to their ass.
Another thing now: gold and alcohol for 500 bucks declared bad taste, and even fell under the ban.
Subtle hint of obama
McCain does not distinguish the president from the monkey
Not so long ago, an Iranian monkey flew into space. The Americans said that the wrong monkey had returned from space, with wool of a different color and without a mole. Well, God be with them, with the Americans. Following the monkey into orbit, or even to meet with extraterrestrial intelligence in the area of the cold planet Pluto, Comrade Ahmadinejad decided to leave. As president of Iran, he said about readiness to become the first astronaut in the Islamic Republic.
And here again the Americans got into the business. The white-haired Republican McCain, secretly sympathizing with the Ku Klux Klan, holding a shabby volume of “Mein Kampf” under his pillow, and continuing to hate the “narrow-eyed” people who didn’t adore him in the Vietnamese pit at night, explained the world community in English in a rather sharp way, that de Mahmoud in space was last week.
The senator entered Twitter and wrote: “Ahmadinejad wants to be the first Iranian in space? Had he not been there last week? ”
And so that the stupid fellow citizens and, in general, those people of the world who read the Internet in the advanced language of modernity, better understand his idea, he provided his tweet with a link news about the launch into space of a biocapsule with a monkey.
No matter how hard McCain tried to be intelligible, they still did not understand him. The citizens called him a man who does not know how to behave, xenophobe and racist.
Earlier, the pale-faced 76-year-old Republican senator has already been attacked by society — for example, because he publicly responded to the United States Permanent Representative to the UN, Susan Rice, as a person who “does not shine his mind.” For this he was branded not only a racist, but also a sexist.
Is it possible for McCain to know that in Washington, apart from McCain himself, only one person shines his mind? No, not Obama. And not Mitt Romney, for whom the senator was rooting for last year’s elections. This brilliant - John Favreau, the writer of all the speeches of Mr. Obama. The president, we dare to suggest, did not say a single phrase on his own, with the exception of the theses about inventing a car in the USA and the existence of 57 states in the USA - but then in both cases he had a finger in the sky. It was John Favreau, a devoted speechwriter who inspired the American people to win a victorious war with Libya. This Favreau through the mouth of Obama thanked the Nobel Committee in 2009 for the bonus money issued in advance. And this Favreau, who worked for Obama with 23 for years, finally failed to withstand the inertia of the White House, quit and went to Hollywood, where his talents would be appreciated.
So what did the world public overlook in “tweet” McCain, rightly sticking an “racist” label to an old senator and veteran?
If John McCain is considered the monkey of the Iranian president, then which detachment of artiodactyls counts the senator of the black US president?
Detroit state as a public laboratory
Citizenship price - 300.000 dollars
A new nation is about to appear in Detroit. Unless, of course, its potential representatives scrape the citizenship of money.
The founding father of the new nation, Rodney Lockwood, a major entrepreneur working in real estate, was going to buy Bell Isle, a park of 400 hectares. Having received it into private ownership, which, taking into account the empty city treasury of the collapsing city, it may well happen, he will make efforts to turn the park ... into an independent state.
Already assigned a price for citizenship - 300 thousand dollars. No, you do not understand: no commerce. Money is money, and Lockwood's goal is to "create an economic and social laboratory for a society that can effectively solve some of the key problems of Americans and the entire Western world."
The businessman believes that the Detroit authorities are selling Bell Isle to a group of investors for a billion dollars. The island is being built and transformed into a city-state with a population of thousands of people in 35. There will act its own laws, will have its own customs and currency. The new country will be under the supervision of the United States (and, obviously, to enter into a union of states). On the banks of the Detroit River, the newly-born Utopian of the 21st century is planning to build factories. Somehow, companies from all over the world with their capitals will immediately appear. Moreover, local government spending will be limited to 10% or less of GDP: the “dictatorship of the constitution” will not allow spending more.
By the way, three hundred thousand Americans are not enough to fully settle in the new state. For a plot of land will have to pay separately. For 300 thousands, only one “of the fundamental values” of the new nation is acquired, as Lockwood writes, and more specifically, “respect for all its citizens, regardless of social status”.
- Do you respect me? Give me three hundred thousand!
As with the plans of all previous utopians, the Lockwood project lacks detail. Judge for yourself: people who lay out three hundred thousand greens only for citizenship, and even some for a piece of land (and if the piece is bigger, for a factory, they will lay out three times thousands of times), they will not work on Bell-Isle . Not those people who would have woken up with pleasure at four in the morning, would have gnawed three crusts of bread and at the call of the factory pipe, cheerfully singing “The Internationale”, poked to the tram stop.
So the 35.000 citizens of the new Detroit are all millionaires. Who will work? The author of the utopian project leaves this question open.
Leo Tolstoy, analyzing the works of the Marxists, could not assimilate in any way: who in the bright future, overwhelmed with high consciousness, will begin to clean cesspools and clean the toilets? Ivan Bunin wrote in the memoirs that Tolstoy had read fourteen thousand books. And if the Yasnaya Polyana sage did not understand how a distant happy society will be arranged, then we will be forgiven to ask ourselves: what kind of Chinese or Mexicans will be needed by Bell-Is plants and factories to ensure a full and free life for those thirty-five million millionaires who intend either smoking bamboo, then whipping the bamboo of those who do not obey the “dictatorship of the constitution”?
Eight Putin and six Obama
Last degree geopolitical astigmatism
In the West, they say that Comrade Putin was no less than six. Some (most reputable) experts operate on the number eight. Vladimir Vladimirovich is too different. If in the 2000 year the first V.P.P. rules ruled, now the fifth or seventh sits on the throne. Probably, they alternate, arranging for themselves weekends and picnics on the Kremlin’s lawns. You never know which one you are dealing with. Before you start a dialogue, you have to determine what number of ears has bowed before you. It’s one thing the old man from 2000 of the year, which Boris Yeltsin blessed for the democratic kingdom, and quite another is this youthful type, in front of which Obama is now fawning.
Russian experts Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy, staff at the Brookings Institution, подготовили to the publication of the book “Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin ”(“ Mr. Putin: Agent in the Kremlin ”). The authors counted six Putin's: A statesman, Historical Personality, Fighter for Survival, Outsider, Merchant and Operative. Macho and Cruel Autocrat are added to this list.
What all eight types have in common is the desire of Comrade Putin to impress stupid America, that the West needs Russia much more than Russia needs - in the West.
As a result, the experts come to the inadequate conclusion for the United States: it’s hard to deal with Putin: he knows what he wants!
Thus, the Americans recognized Putin as a whole person.
Another thing - Mr. Obama. The book does not examine the number of Obama personalities, but in vain. Having examined one side of the coin, eminent American analysts have overlooked the other.
Let's ask ourselves: how many Obama is in the White House?
The first, a violent pacifist, an opponent of torture and a supporter of world peace, promised before the presidential election in 2008, to close the Guantanamo prison and to introduce control over the arms trade, which had been abolished in 2004,. Control is introduced, despite the nearly daily shooting in the United States, and the prison is functioning. This Obama is a typical representative of a double-standard political establishment. In 2009, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize - standard western silver coins, which are issued in advance.
Obama's second identity is fighting terrorism around the world - from Libya to Iran. Even Syria, and that included in the United States in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism. Now this version of Obama is thinking about including in the list of North Korea. There, they say, a bad cartoon about America was shown.
A third Obama, the future Caliph, an ardent Islamist, an opponent of the Declaration of Independence and a supporter of the state Sharia who honors the portrait of bin Laden (who was killed by the second number) and his living al-Zawahiri, immediately appears. Friday is sacred for him, precisely because Obama often misses secret sessions scheduled for this day of the week. The third bearded Obama - in Arafat, with AK-47 in one hand and the green banner of Islam in the other, girded with machine-gun tape and hung with grenades, starring against the flaming embassy in Benghazi - is a collective image of a fighter for world sharia.
The fourth Obama is a true American, cracking home-made beer and eating unhealthy fatty foods. Nobody knows who his wife is, but not at all Michel, a champion of healthy food and the initiator of the campaign to rid the US army of fat people. Obama №4 can often be met during the election campaign 2012 year. This is a simple, tipsy black guy in a cap, with a short haircut and a frown, simply having pork ribs in a spicy sauce and “forgetting” to pay for them.
The fifth president, who is known in Russia as Barak Husseinovich Obama, graduated from the Patrice Lumumba University of Peoples' Friendship in the USSR in the USSR, then made a quick career in the KGB, which he continued in the FSB. Being successfully introduced into 2004 in the US Senate, he still faithfully serves as an agent for Comrade Putin. Under Obama # XXNX, McCain-type hawks were neutralized (lost the election on 5), Hillary Clinton’s campaign (Obama’s first protégé) to occupy Syria failed, and the Qatari and Saudis didn’t wait for the team to bring down oil prices in order to break up the resurgent Russia In the coming years, an agent of the Kremlin plans to accomplish the tasks set to further loosen the Fed, increase government debt, increase inflation in the US, and continue building the Stalinist camp system. The Department of Homeland Security will speed up the purchase of cartridges, and opposition activist Alex Jones from Infowars.com will pull out his hair on his head, refusing to try to count plastic coffins harvested in the country - for those Americans who vote against US accession to the new USSR and refuse to work in the Atlantic branch Gulag for the benefit of the new Soviet homeland.
Finally, the sixth Obama is a jurist-lawyer like Bill Gates, not without parental connections and money settling for a warm place in Washington. Unlike George W. Bush, he rarely appears on television, he avoids approaching the world map, and says little and nothing on paper. What he says, sometimes ridiculously distorting accents and transcriptions, is written by his speechwriter, John Favreau. Now, John is leaving to work in Hollywood (Barak Hussein did not spoil his fees), and the White House administration hired the president of a new low-income writer, Cody Keenan. Previously, this man composed mourning speeches. He was also noticed with performances at the funeral, where he filled wind musical pauses.
Yes, you understood correctly. Rumor has it that five Obama for America is enough. This rich Russia can feed eight Putin, and the financial crisis is rampant in the US. Moreover, all of America sighs: she would also like someone like the Russian president, who is so comprehensible and so purposeful, instead of being split up ...
* “Who is your kings, for example, the last? Anyone? So I am the first! ”- a phrase from the cartoon“ Last year’s snow fell ”.
