Geopolitical mosaic: Ayman al-Zawahiri spoke at a conference in Atlanta, and Hugo Chavez met with Che Guevara and Simon Bolivar
Harness and kill. Syrian insurgents, fighters for "democracy", set fire to three wells in an oil field in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, according to "Vesti"referring to ITAR-TASS.
Earlier, the militants killed two theologians loyal to Bashar Assad. The oppositionist terrorists placed the severed head of one of them on the minaret.
As transmits MIGnews.com With reference to SANA, Syrian rebels captured the pro-government Sunni imam Hassan Seif ed-Din from the Sheikh Maksoud mosque in Aleppo. The rebels beheaded him, and dragged his body through the streets.
The television channel Al-Ikhbariya reports that the head of the imam was placed on the minaret of the Sheikh Maksoud mosque.
Call for peace. Francis, Pope, in his message to the world on the occasion of the feast of Holy Pascha called for peace in Syria and a political settlement, reports SANA.
The pope said: "We ask God to turn death into life, hatred into love, revenge into forgiveness and war into peace ... Christ is peace, and we ask Him for peace in the whole world."
The Pope added: “We turn to God and ask for peace for Syria and its people who suffer. We want him to make peace. We pray for those who expect help from us. ”
He called for peace in the Middle East: Let the perennial confrontation end, restart negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis. He called for peace in Iraq, as well as in Africa and Asia, including Mali, Congo, Nigeria and the Korean Peninsula.
Victory of the Syrian army. Syrian troops conducted several successful anti-militant operations in the suburbs of Damascus: three terrorist groups were defeated in Jubar, El Uteib, and Mazari el-Ibb, reports "Sight" with links to SANA and ITAR-TASS.
The enemy suffered losses in manpower and technology. Army units are pursuing gang formations in Yabrud, Adre and Carr. A factory for the production of explosives was discovered and destroyed in the vicinity of Adra.
However, the threat to the Syrian capital remains. In the south, the rebels, as reported by Al-Jazeera, captured the strategically important city of Daile, standing on the highway in the direction of the Jordanian border. However, Deraa - the administrative center of the southern province, located in 110 km from Damascus - remains in the hands of government forces.
The other day, speaking in the People’s Council, a deputy from the southern district, Vail al-Zuabi, called on the authorities to urgently send additional troops to the south. According to him, the Khirbet-Gazzal district, up to the border with Jordan, is under the control of militants of the extremist group Dzhebhat al-Nusra, which took up positions left by the army. “Perhaps the withdrawal of troops is tactical in nature, but people in areas where terrorists rule are living in constant fear,” the deputy explained.
Prosecutor's diarchy. In Egypt, there is a dual power in the Prosecutor General’s Office, which has arisen because of a court decision to reinstate the former Prosecutor General and at the same time the country's authorities did not want to obey the verdict of the judicial authority. As stated yesterday in the office of the president of Egypt, "the decision on the appointment of Talaat Ibrahim Abdullah is lawful and in line with the constitution, and therefore not subject to revision," reports from Cairo correspondent ITAR-TASS Dina Drunk.
Last Wednesday, the Court of Appeal of Egypt canceled the November decree of President Mohammed Mursi on the resignation of Attorney General Abdel Magid Mahmoud. In a court order, the Ministry of Justice was ordered to reinstate him in office and cancel the decision of the head of state on the appointment of Talaat Abdullah. After that, the acting prosecutor general announced his intention to appeal this court order. As a source in the office of the head of state declared to the Al-Ahram publication, the decision of the appellate court cannot enter into force until it is confirmed by the Court of Cassation.
ITAR-TASS recalls that Mohammed Mursi tried to dismiss Abdel Magid Mahmoud twice last year after a criminal court acquitted a group of major functionaries of the Mubarak era on one of the most significant episodes of the January 25 revolution - the “camel battle” case. The former heads of the two chambers of the country's parliament, Fathi Surur and Safuat al-Sheriff, and also the 22 deputy of the now dissolved Ruling National Democratic Party, were found innocent. They were accused of inciting violence and organizing a massacre in Tahrir Square in central Cairo on the night of 2 on February 3 of 2011.
In October, 2012, the Attorney General, was appointed Egyptian Ambassador to the Vatican. However, two days later, under pressure from the public, the president was forced to reinstate the judge in office. But a month later, Mursi still sent Mahmud to retire. But the Prosecutor General did not give up: he said that he would challenge the decision of the head of state through the court. And, as we see, challenged.
The death row in Timbuktu. How to transmit "Vesti" With reference to ITAR-TASS, Francois Hollande did not have time to announce that the mission of the French soldiers in Mali was accomplished, as clashes between the army and the militants broke out in Timbuktu. The number of victims per day - seven people. Among them - a soldier of the Malian army and one civilian. Five militants have been destroyed, two of whom are suicide bombers.
The first of them launched an explosive device mounted on his belt on the western outskirts of the city. He committed the blast after he failed to overcome one of the roadblocks blocking the entrance to the city territory. As a result of the explosion, one Mali soldier was injured.
The resulting confusion was used by extremists as a distraction to infiltrate the city. In the morning, they went into a shootout with the Malian army, taking up positions in the city center. The militants were rebuffed, the support of the Malian was rendered by the French army unit, reinforced aviation patrol. In total, four Malian and one French were injured.
The second suicide bomber was discovered by soldiers on one of the city streets during an operation to clear the terrain from terrorists. Departing from prosecution, the gunman found himself in one of the residential buildings, where he took a civilian hostage who was reportedly a citizen of Nigeria. During the shootout, the terrorist and the hostage were killed.
Transitional Government. The self-proclaimed President of the Central African Republic, Michel Jotodia, announced the formation of a transitional government. The “president” himself decided that he would simultaneously be the minister of defense. The transitional office will operate until the next presidential election, scheduled to be held in 2016. This is reported "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
The self-proclaimed president at a press conference promised to leave his post after three years. “Anyone who is currently in the leadership and supports us will not stand for the next presidential election. Including me, ”he specified.
The main tasks of the new authorities during the transition period, Jotodia proclaimed the restoration of peace and tranquility in the country, the reorganization of the national defense and security forces, the pursuit of disarmament, demobilization and the return of former participants to the conflict to normal life.
"The dead in the parliament, that goat at the parade." March 28 in Ukrainian Nikolaev was the march of activists of the "Russian Bloc", dedicated to the anniversary of the liberation of the city from the Nazi invaders. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with links to "New Region" and "NikVesti". The event took place in spite of the threats of the Ukrainian nationalists from the Freedom party, who declared that the march would turn into “Russian stuffing”.
About 700 people took part in the march: activists of the “Russian Bloc”, as well as representatives of Cossack organizations. A significant part of them were citizens who came to Nikolaev from other cities: Odessa, Kherson, Sevastopol.
The marchers marched down the main street and held a rally. They chanted "Hooray!", "Thank you grandfather for the victory" and "Bandera - in the cage." The activists carried posters with the inscriptions "Glory to the soldiers-liberators" and "Pyagnybyk in the Rada that a goat in the parade."
Shortly before the march, representatives of the nationalist "Freedom" stated that they were ready to oppose this event. "In Nikolaev there will be no Russian march, but Russian stuffing! Believe it! Such an event is definitely another provocation of the fifth column, which continues to operate on our territory. But I can definitely say that we will give a decent answer and rebuff this action, ”nationalist deputy Yury Mikhalchishin told New Region.
A similar statement was made by the deputy “Freedom” Pavel Kirilenko. "If any anti-Ukrainian events are held in Nikolaev, we will act and the actions will be adequate," he argued.
Meanwhile, during the March 28 march, as noted by the “Nikolaevskiye Vesti”, “Svobodovets”, “no one waited”.
"Ukraine - for the old ..." Gennady Minaev, the mayor of the Ukrainian Sumy, called on young people for mass emigration. He made the corresponding statement in an interview to the “Gazeta in Ukrainian”, reports "Lenta.ru".
“I advise everyone who is younger than 35 to leave the country. There are no prospects here ... Anyone who wants to live in a normal democratic country, where everyone is responsible for himself, should leave here, ”the official said. “Ukraine is for old, for people like me. We will live here and try to preserve something, ”he added.
Minaev negatively spoke about the rapprochement of Ukraine with Russia and the possible accession to the Customs Union. In his opinion, the republic is threatened with "returning to the Soviet Union." The mayor believes that the Ukrainian oligarchs can change the course: “If they understand that unification with Russia will lead to their death, they will pull us to Europe. Otherwise they will be eaten. ”
Minaev also complained that the majority of the population of Ukraine does not seek to develop civil society: “The majority are knocking at the closed doors behind them, in the hope that the Soviet Union remained there,” he believes. “In which you don’t have to answer for yourself, children, work and home.”
Everything is bad. Recession is not the only consequence of budget cuts in a number of European countries. The latest studies show that these measures have caused an unprecedented surge of diseases and suicides for Europe, writes Maria Cheng (Huffington Postsource of translation - Mixednews.ru).
“The cost-saving measures did not solve all the problems, but led to a worsening of the health situation,” said Martin McKee, professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. “People need hope that the state will support them in difficult times,” said the scientist.
Greece suffered terribly from the crisis. In 2011, the number of suicides increased by 40% there compared with last year. At the same time in Greece increased the number of reported cases of malaria, West Nile fever and Dengue fever.
In Spain, people are also dissatisfied with the quality of medical care.
“The cost reduction manifests itself in many areas of health care,” complains 54-year-old unemployed nurse Marie Carmen Server from Madrid. Her mother was admitted to the hospital with serious heart problems requiring surgical intervention. “While she was in the hospital, there was simply no one to wash her. As a result, I had to do it myself, ”she says.
A blessing in disguise: in Europe there is a decrease in the number of car accidents. Why? Because more and more drivers leave private cars and choose public transport.
But this, if you look closely, is also bad. Why? Because the reduction in the number of accidents and, accordingly, deaths caused a shortage of donor organs, especially in Spain and Ireland.
False alarm. The threat of terrorist attack on the Eiffel Tower was false, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to "Le Parisien".
Police officers with service dogs examined the tower and found no explosives. The cordon around the tower around 19: 30 local time is now partially removed. Due to the threat of an explosion, up to 1,500 people had to be evacuated.
An anonymous bombing call came from Val-de-Marne, a department southeast of Paris. Around 17: 00 local time (20: 00 Moscow time) an unknown person called from a telephone booth and reported that the attack on the Eiffel Tower would occur in 21: 30 (0: 30 31 in March in Moscow).
"It was such a trough." Katerina Sabirova, Boris Berezovsky’s girlfriend, confirmed that he had written a letter in which she apologized to the Russian president and asked for the possibility of returning to her homeland.
“Yes, I saw the handwritten text of the letter. He read it to me, ”she said in an interview with The New Times. - He apologized and asked for the opportunity to return. It was such a trough. ”
Also Sabirov told, wrote MIGnews.comthat Berezovsky “spent hours discussing the idea of writing a letter” with his wife Elena Gorbunova over the phone. According to Sabirov, the oligarch said that "he doesn’t care that all sins are hung on him, and this is his only chance."
At the end of 2012, Sabirov’s individual phrases for Berezovsky understood that he had already sent a letter to the Kremlin and was waiting for an answer.
Light creamy flavor. As reported from London correspondent ITAR-TASS Roman Podervyanskyreferring to the Daily Mail, a British farmer has established the production of vodka from cow's milk. Local celebrities sweep it from the shelves. Among the fans of the drink - actor Daniel Craig, who plays the role of "agent 007".
47-year-old Jason Barber from the English county of Dorset, the owner of a farm with livestock from 250 cows, claims that he got a vodka idea from a documentary television film about the Republic of Tyva in Siberia: there people make vodka from yak milk. The farmer worked 3 of the year on the recipe. He called the new vodka "Black Cow". The popularity of strong drink was surprisingly high. In restaurants such as chefs like Heston Blumenthal and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, this vodka has become an indispensable alcoholic beverage on the menu. Tasters say it has a light creamy taste.
In addition to the “agent 007”, the famous English model and actress Elizabeth Hurley drinks this vodka.
On the second floor of a bus in Scotland, driving is dangerous. In Glasgow, an 14-year-old schoolgirl was raped by two guys on the second floor of a regular bus. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Scotsman.com and BBC News.
The incident occurred 22 March after 22: 30 hours. Police reported it to the press a week later. Two friends sat on the ground floor in a city bus. Then one of them climbed to the second floor, where two young men were swearing, looked 18-20 for years. The girl for some reason spoke to them. Both took and raped her.
A girlfriend stood up for the girl, who went upstairs behind her and called other passengers from the lower floor. To help rose two men and one woman. Together with the protectors and girlfriend, the girl left the bus, and the swearing young people continued the trip. Then, after getting home on another bus, the injured schoolgirl went to the police.
It concerns the president. As the correspondent ITAR-TASS Alexey Berezhkov, Cyprus President Nikos Anastasiadis said that "no one can be excluded from the investigation" of the circumstances that led the country to the verge of bankruptcy. The head of state stressed that this also applies to him "as president of the republic and a citizen." This is stated in the statement of Anastasiadis, posted on the website of the press service of the government.
The president made such a statement in connection with the reports in the media that the companies of his relatives transferred more than 20 million euros to UK banks from the accounts of the Cyprus National Bank. At the same time, the KNB is subject to liquidation as part of the restructuring of the country's banking system.
Anastasiadis of the state called the charges "an attempt to slander companies and people associated with his family, in order not only to strike the president, but also to mislead the people regarding the true perpetrators who led the country to bankruptcy."
Let us add, the president did not name the true culprits.
However, as they say news agencies, anti-crisis solutions have already been found in Cyprus.
Aphrodite's Island as a new business platform. Special Correspondent RIA "Fog-News" Alex Hertz reports that Aphrodite Island will become the leading global platform in the field of "alternative" international awards. With such a proposal in the coming days will make the President of the Republic of Cyprus. “We will not experiment with the future of our country,” said Anastasiadis.
What does this mean?
It turns out that, according to presidential proposals, Cyprus will henceforth become the central place for awarding the Snobel Prize, the Darwin Prize, the Stella Prize and the Russian “Silver Galosh”.
Currently, the President of Cyprus has scheduled visits to the United States and Russia. He intends to meet with the leaders of these countries, as well as with leading figures of show business, on whom making final decisions about the place of delivery of famous alternative awards depends.
According to available information, Cyprus will be nominated as a candidate for one of these prestigious awards: from Stanford they report that this will be the Darwin Award in the newly proposed nomination: “To a legal entity under public law for achievements in the financial sphere”.
But that's not all. Cyprus will enrich the budget with a celebration of ... divorces. As you know, in decaying Europe, the celebration of divorces has become a declining trend in recent years. The crowd of guests participates in special rituals: burning the wedding dress, sawing rings, etc. Cyprus is perfectly suited to Europeans: after all, due to the low cost of tours, Cyprus is traditionally popular.
Cypriots impose special hopes on the Russians. "Indeed, the business of organizing divorce customers from Russia is able to seriously improve the financial situation of Cyprus," said Jar-Ja Binks, a senior analyst at Leading international rating agency Stitch, from New York.
The third source of replenishment of the budget of Cyprus will be the rental income from Germany on the island of its military base of the Navy ("Deutsche Marine"). The cost of annual rent is one billion euros per year, and the lease term is set at twenty years. The proposal was made by Mr. Anastasiadis Angela Merkel. It is already supported by the European Union.
“But nothing will be done by the Russian government in this situation.” The Russian government is ready to publicly consider the appeals of Russian companies affected in Cyprus, if the relevant appeals are received. First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov announced this on “Sunday Evening” on the Russia 1 TV channel; "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
As for the money of the Russians in Cyprus, it is a variety of capital: taxes have been paid from some, not from some, said Shuvalov. “If someone gets caught and loses money in these two largest banks, it’s a pity,” the deputy prime minister admitted. “But nothing will be done by the Russian government in this situation.”
“If there are serious losses for someone, for companies with state participation, if there is a definite situation, then we are ready to consider it here in Russia. But for this it is not necessary to help the Republic of Cyprus. ”
So, we note, the state, as usual, will help only to itself, the beloved, and ordinary citizens can, too, as usual, quietly enjoy life. However, ordinary citizens do not keep money in Cyprus. As for the state, it will take care not only of the Cypriot contributions of its companies.
Happy deputies. As transmits correspondent RIA "Fog-News" Kain StewartFrom April 1, the base salary of a State Duma deputy will be 500 thousand rubles.
Such a high - two-fold - increase in the remuneration of the people's elected representatives is carried out as part of a program to improve the mechanisms of state administration. Earlier, as it was reported, the workers of the ministries received material incentives, which resulted in a distortion: the executive branch was rated higher than the legislative, and there was a threat of vertical imbalance.
Deputies made calls to eliminate the imbalance. Moreover, the current level of their salaries does not correspond to the complexity of the tasks to be solved: “Creating laws requires a lot of expertise, meetings, and often promotions. Without all this, the chance to push through a separate bill is almost zero. And you have to order everything at your own expense. ” These considerations corr. RIA "Fog-News" shared an anonymous source in Gosudme.
And indeed: a positive expert opinion, the right media coverage, a banquet and gifts for skeptics - all this is paid from the deputy’s pocket. Considerable sums are spent on traveling and on representing Russia’s interests abroad. And the staff of assistants is paid again by the deputy. With such significant expenses, the salary in 200 thousand rubles melts like ice on a griddle. What about family? And personal expenses?
Now, after the reform, the base salary will be 500 thousand rubles per month, and the compensation for the expenses of a personal assistant, translator, secretary, massage therapist, driver and security guard will be expressed in an amount not exceeding 300 thousand rubles per month.
Walk did not work. Eduard Limonov was detained on Triumfalnaya Square in Moscow. Together with several colleagues, he arrived at Triumfalnaya Square, after which he attempted to walk towards the monument to Mayakovsky. There, he was walking, surrounded by a large number of journalists and like-minded people, met by the police, one of whom announced Limonov that the action was illegal and demanded that it be stopped, reports MIGnews.com.
Limonov said that what was happening was “traditional folk festivals,” after which, quite traditionally, he was taken to a police bus, which immediately left Triumphalnaya Square.
Three in one: Olympic script. As you know, 7 February 2014 of the year starts the Olympics, the venue for which will be the city of Sochi. According to an anonymous source close to Red Square, in order to reduce costs for the crisis, strengthen the friendship of nations and as a guarantee of future prosperity of the Eurasian Union, the leaders of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine decided to put a single team from three fraternal states in Sochi. The VO source, who wished to preserve festive anonymity, recalls that the plan was developed as early as December of last year, but only now the parties have reached full agreement.
There were a lot of discrepancies. Among them - sportswear. As is well known, on shorts, socks and T-shirts, in addition to advertising logos, state symbols are also placed. In addition, athletes perform under national flags. The discrepancies were settled by a single vision of the parties of the beautiful Eurasian future. On red T-shirts a seamstress will embroider golden sickles and hammers, and on the tribunes there will hang out the cotton cloths of the USSR. All this will help Ukraine, Belarus and Russia to save on tailor-made design: the three countries will pay for one Chinese designer.
New sports symbols will be reflected on the medals.
As a refreshing Olympic drink, it will be approved not Coca-Cola, as it was planned earlier by lobbyists in the State Duma, who are rumored to be connected with Mr. Browder, but an ordinary kvass. The guests of the Olympiad will be served in sweaty mugs with a capacity of 0,25 l and 0,5 l. Symbolize the strong friendship of the peoples in Sochi, again, not the “White Horse” whiskey, but the “Wheat” vodka, to which the “load” will be sold without fail: salted tomato and salted cucumber.
Such decisions will help finally three friendly countries get rid of the dominance of liberalism.
News about the popular decision of comrades Putin, Yanukovych and Lukashenko has already leaked to the world press. Ben Torch, a columnist for the New York Herald, believes that the former countries of the Soviet camp are returning straight to the totalitarian past. “Autocrats of the Andropov-Brezhnev type, headed by V. Putin, have chosen the most successful moment for a reversal - the Olympics, in which athletes from around the world will take part. Undoubtedly, the PR campaign will be successful. After all, few of the athletes and their trainers, as well as the public inexperienced in geopolitics and geography, know or remember that the USSR collapsed in 1991 (or 1993?) Year. Returning by train and plane to home, to Egypt, South Africa, the USA, Australia, Japan or Great Britain, the participants of the Olympics and fans will consider that they have not visited anywhere, but in the USSR. ” The journalist notes sadly that in order to rid the world community of geographic and geopolitical delusion, the American and other liberal press will need at least thirteen years. According to Mrs. Clinton, the former US Secretary of State, Congress will have to approve additional funding for free media so that they close the huge backlog from the world's leading television channels - Russia Today and Al-Jazeera. Ben Torch doubts that this program can be implemented: after all, the budget is already sequestered for 85 billion dollars. Washington even had to abandon the intentions of the war with Syria and Iran.
About how Putin ahead of Hollande and Cameron. Today, another news came from the Kremlin: in order to implement a number of liberal initiatives promised to the electorate last year, the Russian president approved a directive on the supply of lethal weapons to fighters for true democracy in Syria - participants of the Free Syrian Army. The decision taken at the level of the Ministry of Defense has passed all the preliminary stages of coordination.
Now we are talking about the timing of implementation. Defense Minister Comrade Shoigu at a government meeting held on the morning of April 1 suggested not delaying supplies, and Education Minister Comrade Livanov put it more figuratively: “Do not pull the cat by the tail.” The Ministry of Economic Development expressed the general opinion of its employees that Western competitors are not asleep.
Recall earlier that the Prime Minister of Britain Mr. Cameron and the French President Monsieur Holland declared their ardent desire to supply the Syrian opposition with weapons.
In the framework of Russian humanitarian aid, the rebels fighting against the army of Bashar al-Assad will be allocated certain means of repelling aggression, including missiles. Types and characteristics of the supplied weapons are not listed.
In the meantime, all sorts of guesses are being built in overseas media. Analysts with forecasts ahead of each other. Having looked through the American press, we singled out two typical opinions that Western observers hold.
Experts believe that the Kremlin is going to "surrender" the regime of Assad and to establish trade relations with the rebels, actively funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Thus, Comrade Putin is going to preserve the Syrian arms market, which one cannot but recognize as a profitable strategic move. With regard to the objections of the UN, then the time of sanctions against the warring parties in Syria will expire in May. Russia may not wait for this deadline: after all, France and Britain, which are also preparing to arm the rebels, are not going to comply with the ban on supplies. In the light of these prospects, when the world does not need the services of the Security Council, Ban Ki-moon is reportedly thinking about the UN’s self-dissolution.
Some analysts, mostly from sources close to the US military complex and special services, came closer to the truth. They are puzzled over the question: what kind of missiles is Russia going to deliver to the rebels in Syria? As you know, Russian rockets are flying too far. Didn’t Israel aim at the Kremlin team, which is going to heat the heat with someone’s hands and prepared for the opposition the medium-range missiles, which sooner or later will strike the Iron Dome? The rebels have repeatedly threatened to attack the Jewish state, and then the United States. But it is no secret to anyone that the cold war has resumed between the United States and Russia, gradually cooling the Kremlin’s relations with all American allies. However, the analysts did not come to any definite conclusion - and now they are puzzled over what the next nonsense Russians have thrown out.
And Comrade Shoigu is about to sign an order for the delivery of the most that neither is lethal missiles to the Syrian opposition. At the last meeting, the Minister put it very succinctly about the method of delivery:
- Under its own power.
Kim Jong-un kept his word. As the "Phototelegraph", in 6: 40 Moscow time, North Korea launched a missile attack on the US military base Chinhae, located in South Korea. The initial report that one of the missiles carried a nuclear warhead is not currently being confirmed.
The attack was provoked by a US military aircraft that invaded North Korea’s airspace.
A total of twelve missiles were fired from the DPRK. The territory of the base is engulfed in fire, there is no detailed information.
The US military force stationed in Guam is heading for the scene of the conflict.
Currently, the DPRK continues to set new targets for its missiles.
The new goals of the leader of the North Korean workers. The US bases located in Japan will be viewed as targets for rocket attacks from the DPRK in the event of the start of full-scale hostilities on the Korean Peninsula, the North Korean newspaper Nodon Sinmun reported. Russia.ru with reference to the newspaper "Vzglyad".
According to the central press organ of the Workers' Party of Korea, we are talking about the Misawa US Air Force base in Aomori Prefecture (684 km north of Tokyo), the US Navy Yokosuka base in Kanagawa Prefecture (65 km south of Tokyo) and US military facilities in southern Japan Okinawa Prefecture.
According to Kim Jong-un, the DPRK "is not going to use nuclear weapon as a commodity for the purchase of American dollars or a bargaining chip for economic aid. "
Of course, let me add, Kim Jong-un will use nuclear weapons for its intended purpose - to destroy the imperialist bases.
According to the source, at present the people and the army of the country, led by Kim Jong-un, “have launched a just struggle with the United States, and are also making efforts to create a socialist economic power”.
"The heirs of Hitler." Acting President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro called opposition supporters "Hitler's heirs," reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to France-Presse.
According to Maduro, the single presidential candidate from the opposition, Enrique Capriles and his associates unleashed the “campaign of intolerance”, criticizing the presence of Cuban doctors in Venezuela, as well as attacking the cultural figures who sided with the successor of Hugo Chávez.
According to "Lenta.ru" With reference to the same France-Presse, Venezuelan activists burned effigies of presidential candidates Enrique Capriles and Nicolas Maduro. This happened during the celebration of Easter, when the people of Venezuela traditionally burn the effigies of Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ.
Supporters of the current government burned Capriles effigy in the center of Caracas. They declared that the opposition candidate had betrayed the country and its people, “by supporting the interests of world imperialism”.
Opposition supporters, in turn, organized a public burning of stuffed Maduro, stating that his betrayal was the failure to ensure an adequate standard of living and security for the citizens of the country. The effigy of Nestor Reverol, the Minister of the Interior, and Jorge Rodriguez, the mayor of Caracas, were burned with him.
News from paradise. As passed correspondent RIA "News" Dmitry Znamensky With reference to the Venezuelan television "Vive Tv", President Hugo Chavez went to heaven.
In a short paradise clip, which the operators managed to make, Chavez stands in a meadow under a blue sky. The president is dressed in an “olympic” in the national colors of Venezuela. People are waiting for him.
He rushes to meet them. Here and Augusto Sandino, and Salvador Allende, and Ernesto Che Guevara, and Eva Peron, and Simon Bolivar - and Rosa Ines, the grandmother of Hugo.
Pentagon - self-sufficiency. According to American media, the US Congress by a majority vote approved the decision to change the status of the Pentagon. The document remains to be signed by President Obama.
We are talking about the commercialization of the defense structure and the gradual complete rejection (within the next ten years) of its federal budget financing. This solution will, as Hillary Clinton wrote in her Twitter account, most effectively implement the US strategy to provide the country with cheap energy resources. The new slogan of the Pentagon should be, in the opinion of the former Secretary of State, a call for the Middle East democratization facilities: “Do you have oil? So there is no democracy. ”
In the near future, the Pentagon will have to adjust its programs and the State Department, adjusted for commercial activities. In particular, his new boss John Kerry has already adopted H. Clinton’s proposal on the budget financing of the American media, which would cover world events more objectively than, for example, CNN or the Washington Post, in which democracy will soon become as little as in Russia. In the framework of the State Department’s project, it is expected, in particular, to acquire the opposition channel Infowars.com, in order to use its popular platform for the propaganda of the accelerated democratization of certain parts of the globe, where the strange error prevails that oil and gas belong to local peoples.
Ayman al-Zavahiri spoke on the problems of modern terrorism. According to the American edition "The Onion"Atlanta hosted an al-Qaida conference. Her head, Mr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, gave an informative and fascinating report on the state of world terrorism. His speech was called "Terror at a crossroads: instilling fear in the XXI century to the wrong."
“We live in a constantly changing global environment,” said the al-Qaida boss. - Our community faces numerous social and economic obstacles almost every day. The difficult question is, can we, as terrorist cells, overcome these obstacles by remaining true to our vision? How can we adapt to current realities? ”
56, the al-Qaeda’s summer leader, a well-known Islamist, said this and nodded to himself. The listeners, as the source reports, took notes and laughed when az-Zavahiri criticized the former head of the organization, Osama bin Laden.
“For example,” he continued, “what happens when your terrorist organization’s foreign assets are frozen?” What are you going to do? Do I need to pounce on some journalist and cut off his head? Or maybe you need to blow up the bus station in Amsterdam? Or should we regroup, assess the situation, estimate, is it really impossible to consolidate with another terrorist group, and then jointly acquire nuclear weapons? Get connected, people! The al-Qaida boss called. - Both personally and professionally! This is really what we need today. ”
Sources have confirmed that the 18-minute speech, al-Zawahiri, ended with applause.
Earlier, the militants killed two theologians loyal to Bashar Assad. The oppositionist terrorists placed the severed head of one of them on the minaret.
As transmits MIGnews.com With reference to SANA, Syrian rebels captured the pro-government Sunni imam Hassan Seif ed-Din from the Sheikh Maksoud mosque in Aleppo. The rebels beheaded him, and dragged his body through the streets.
The television channel Al-Ikhbariya reports that the head of the imam was placed on the minaret of the Sheikh Maksoud mosque.
Call for peace. Francis, Pope, in his message to the world on the occasion of the feast of Holy Pascha called for peace in Syria and a political settlement, reports SANA.
The pope said: "We ask God to turn death into life, hatred into love, revenge into forgiveness and war into peace ... Christ is peace, and we ask Him for peace in the whole world."
The Pope added: “We turn to God and ask for peace for Syria and its people who suffer. We want him to make peace. We pray for those who expect help from us. ”
He called for peace in the Middle East: Let the perennial confrontation end, restart negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis. He called for peace in Iraq, as well as in Africa and Asia, including Mali, Congo, Nigeria and the Korean Peninsula.
Victory of the Syrian army. Syrian troops conducted several successful anti-militant operations in the suburbs of Damascus: three terrorist groups were defeated in Jubar, El Uteib, and Mazari el-Ibb, reports "Sight" with links to SANA and ITAR-TASS.
The enemy suffered losses in manpower and technology. Army units are pursuing gang formations in Yabrud, Adre and Carr. A factory for the production of explosives was discovered and destroyed in the vicinity of Adra.
However, the threat to the Syrian capital remains. In the south, the rebels, as reported by Al-Jazeera, captured the strategically important city of Daile, standing on the highway in the direction of the Jordanian border. However, Deraa - the administrative center of the southern province, located in 110 km from Damascus - remains in the hands of government forces.
The other day, speaking in the People’s Council, a deputy from the southern district, Vail al-Zuabi, called on the authorities to urgently send additional troops to the south. According to him, the Khirbet-Gazzal district, up to the border with Jordan, is under the control of militants of the extremist group Dzhebhat al-Nusra, which took up positions left by the army. “Perhaps the withdrawal of troops is tactical in nature, but people in areas where terrorists rule are living in constant fear,” the deputy explained.
Prosecutor's diarchy. In Egypt, there is a dual power in the Prosecutor General’s Office, which has arisen because of a court decision to reinstate the former Prosecutor General and at the same time the country's authorities did not want to obey the verdict of the judicial authority. As stated yesterday in the office of the president of Egypt, "the decision on the appointment of Talaat Ibrahim Abdullah is lawful and in line with the constitution, and therefore not subject to revision," reports from Cairo correspondent ITAR-TASS Dina Drunk.
Last Wednesday, the Court of Appeal of Egypt canceled the November decree of President Mohammed Mursi on the resignation of Attorney General Abdel Magid Mahmoud. In a court order, the Ministry of Justice was ordered to reinstate him in office and cancel the decision of the head of state on the appointment of Talaat Abdullah. After that, the acting prosecutor general announced his intention to appeal this court order. As a source in the office of the head of state declared to the Al-Ahram publication, the decision of the appellate court cannot enter into force until it is confirmed by the Court of Cassation.
ITAR-TASS recalls that Mohammed Mursi tried to dismiss Abdel Magid Mahmoud twice last year after a criminal court acquitted a group of major functionaries of the Mubarak era on one of the most significant episodes of the January 25 revolution - the “camel battle” case. The former heads of the two chambers of the country's parliament, Fathi Surur and Safuat al-Sheriff, and also the 22 deputy of the now dissolved Ruling National Democratic Party, were found innocent. They were accused of inciting violence and organizing a massacre in Tahrir Square in central Cairo on the night of 2 on February 3 of 2011.
In October, 2012, the Attorney General, was appointed Egyptian Ambassador to the Vatican. However, two days later, under pressure from the public, the president was forced to reinstate the judge in office. But a month later, Mursi still sent Mahmud to retire. But the Prosecutor General did not give up: he said that he would challenge the decision of the head of state through the court. And, as we see, challenged.
The death row in Timbuktu. How to transmit "Vesti" With reference to ITAR-TASS, Francois Hollande did not have time to announce that the mission of the French soldiers in Mali was accomplished, as clashes between the army and the militants broke out in Timbuktu. The number of victims per day - seven people. Among them - a soldier of the Malian army and one civilian. Five militants have been destroyed, two of whom are suicide bombers.
The first of them launched an explosive device mounted on his belt on the western outskirts of the city. He committed the blast after he failed to overcome one of the roadblocks blocking the entrance to the city territory. As a result of the explosion, one Mali soldier was injured.
The resulting confusion was used by extremists as a distraction to infiltrate the city. In the morning, they went into a shootout with the Malian army, taking up positions in the city center. The militants were rebuffed, the support of the Malian was rendered by the French army unit, reinforced aviation patrol. In total, four Malian and one French were injured.
The second suicide bomber was discovered by soldiers on one of the city streets during an operation to clear the terrain from terrorists. Departing from prosecution, the gunman found himself in one of the residential buildings, where he took a civilian hostage who was reportedly a citizen of Nigeria. During the shootout, the terrorist and the hostage were killed.
Transitional Government. The self-proclaimed President of the Central African Republic, Michel Jotodia, announced the formation of a transitional government. The “president” himself decided that he would simultaneously be the minister of defense. The transitional office will operate until the next presidential election, scheduled to be held in 2016. This is reported "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
The self-proclaimed president at a press conference promised to leave his post after three years. “Anyone who is currently in the leadership and supports us will not stand for the next presidential election. Including me, ”he specified.
The main tasks of the new authorities during the transition period, Jotodia proclaimed the restoration of peace and tranquility in the country, the reorganization of the national defense and security forces, the pursuit of disarmament, demobilization and the return of former participants to the conflict to normal life.
"The dead in the parliament, that goat at the parade." March 28 in Ukrainian Nikolaev was the march of activists of the "Russian Bloc", dedicated to the anniversary of the liberation of the city from the Nazi invaders. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with links to "New Region" and "NikVesti". The event took place in spite of the threats of the Ukrainian nationalists from the Freedom party, who declared that the march would turn into “Russian stuffing”.
About 700 people took part in the march: activists of the “Russian Bloc”, as well as representatives of Cossack organizations. A significant part of them were citizens who came to Nikolaev from other cities: Odessa, Kherson, Sevastopol.
The marchers marched down the main street and held a rally. They chanted "Hooray!", "Thank you grandfather for the victory" and "Bandera - in the cage." The activists carried posters with the inscriptions "Glory to the soldiers-liberators" and "Pyagnybyk in the Rada that a goat in the parade."
Shortly before the march, representatives of the nationalist "Freedom" stated that they were ready to oppose this event. "In Nikolaev there will be no Russian march, but Russian stuffing! Believe it! Such an event is definitely another provocation of the fifth column, which continues to operate on our territory. But I can definitely say that we will give a decent answer and rebuff this action, ”nationalist deputy Yury Mikhalchishin told New Region.
A similar statement was made by the deputy “Freedom” Pavel Kirilenko. "If any anti-Ukrainian events are held in Nikolaev, we will act and the actions will be adequate," he argued.
Meanwhile, during the March 28 march, as noted by the “Nikolaevskiye Vesti”, “Svobodovets”, “no one waited”.
"Ukraine - for the old ..." Gennady Minaev, the mayor of the Ukrainian Sumy, called on young people for mass emigration. He made the corresponding statement in an interview to the “Gazeta in Ukrainian”, reports "Lenta.ru".
“I advise everyone who is younger than 35 to leave the country. There are no prospects here ... Anyone who wants to live in a normal democratic country, where everyone is responsible for himself, should leave here, ”the official said. “Ukraine is for old, for people like me. We will live here and try to preserve something, ”he added.
Minaev negatively spoke about the rapprochement of Ukraine with Russia and the possible accession to the Customs Union. In his opinion, the republic is threatened with "returning to the Soviet Union." The mayor believes that the Ukrainian oligarchs can change the course: “If they understand that unification with Russia will lead to their death, they will pull us to Europe. Otherwise they will be eaten. ”
Minaev also complained that the majority of the population of Ukraine does not seek to develop civil society: “The majority are knocking at the closed doors behind them, in the hope that the Soviet Union remained there,” he believes. “In which you don’t have to answer for yourself, children, work and home.”
Everything is bad. Recession is not the only consequence of budget cuts in a number of European countries. The latest studies show that these measures have caused an unprecedented surge of diseases and suicides for Europe, writes Maria Cheng (Huffington Postsource of translation - Mixednews.ru).
“The cost-saving measures did not solve all the problems, but led to a worsening of the health situation,” said Martin McKee, professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. “People need hope that the state will support them in difficult times,” said the scientist.
Greece suffered terribly from the crisis. In 2011, the number of suicides increased by 40% there compared with last year. At the same time in Greece increased the number of reported cases of malaria, West Nile fever and Dengue fever.
In Spain, people are also dissatisfied with the quality of medical care.
“The cost reduction manifests itself in many areas of health care,” complains 54-year-old unemployed nurse Marie Carmen Server from Madrid. Her mother was admitted to the hospital with serious heart problems requiring surgical intervention. “While she was in the hospital, there was simply no one to wash her. As a result, I had to do it myself, ”she says.
A blessing in disguise: in Europe there is a decrease in the number of car accidents. Why? Because more and more drivers leave private cars and choose public transport.
But this, if you look closely, is also bad. Why? Because the reduction in the number of accidents and, accordingly, deaths caused a shortage of donor organs, especially in Spain and Ireland.
False alarm. The threat of terrorist attack on the Eiffel Tower was false, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to "Le Parisien".
Police officers with service dogs examined the tower and found no explosives. The cordon around the tower around 19: 30 local time is now partially removed. Due to the threat of an explosion, up to 1,500 people had to be evacuated.
An anonymous bombing call came from Val-de-Marne, a department southeast of Paris. Around 17: 00 local time (20: 00 Moscow time) an unknown person called from a telephone booth and reported that the attack on the Eiffel Tower would occur in 21: 30 (0: 30 31 in March in Moscow).
"It was such a trough." Katerina Sabirova, Boris Berezovsky’s girlfriend, confirmed that he had written a letter in which she apologized to the Russian president and asked for the possibility of returning to her homeland.
“Yes, I saw the handwritten text of the letter. He read it to me, ”she said in an interview with The New Times. - He apologized and asked for the opportunity to return. It was such a trough. ”
Also Sabirov told, wrote MIGnews.comthat Berezovsky “spent hours discussing the idea of writing a letter” with his wife Elena Gorbunova over the phone. According to Sabirov, the oligarch said that "he doesn’t care that all sins are hung on him, and this is his only chance."
At the end of 2012, Sabirov’s individual phrases for Berezovsky understood that he had already sent a letter to the Kremlin and was waiting for an answer.
Light creamy flavor. As reported from London correspondent ITAR-TASS Roman Podervyanskyreferring to the Daily Mail, a British farmer has established the production of vodka from cow's milk. Local celebrities sweep it from the shelves. Among the fans of the drink - actor Daniel Craig, who plays the role of "agent 007".
47-year-old Jason Barber from the English county of Dorset, the owner of a farm with livestock from 250 cows, claims that he got a vodka idea from a documentary television film about the Republic of Tyva in Siberia: there people make vodka from yak milk. The farmer worked 3 of the year on the recipe. He called the new vodka "Black Cow". The popularity of strong drink was surprisingly high. In restaurants such as chefs like Heston Blumenthal and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, this vodka has become an indispensable alcoholic beverage on the menu. Tasters say it has a light creamy taste.
In addition to the “agent 007”, the famous English model and actress Elizabeth Hurley drinks this vodka.
On the second floor of a bus in Scotland, driving is dangerous. In Glasgow, an 14-year-old schoolgirl was raped by two guys on the second floor of a regular bus. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Scotsman.com and BBC News.
The incident occurred 22 March after 22: 30 hours. Police reported it to the press a week later. Two friends sat on the ground floor in a city bus. Then one of them climbed to the second floor, where two young men were swearing, looked 18-20 for years. The girl for some reason spoke to them. Both took and raped her.
A girlfriend stood up for the girl, who went upstairs behind her and called other passengers from the lower floor. To help rose two men and one woman. Together with the protectors and girlfriend, the girl left the bus, and the swearing young people continued the trip. Then, after getting home on another bus, the injured schoolgirl went to the police.
It concerns the president. As the correspondent ITAR-TASS Alexey Berezhkov, Cyprus President Nikos Anastasiadis said that "no one can be excluded from the investigation" of the circumstances that led the country to the verge of bankruptcy. The head of state stressed that this also applies to him "as president of the republic and a citizen." This is stated in the statement of Anastasiadis, posted on the website of the press service of the government.
The president made such a statement in connection with the reports in the media that the companies of his relatives transferred more than 20 million euros to UK banks from the accounts of the Cyprus National Bank. At the same time, the KNB is subject to liquidation as part of the restructuring of the country's banking system.
Anastasiadis of the state called the charges "an attempt to slander companies and people associated with his family, in order not only to strike the president, but also to mislead the people regarding the true perpetrators who led the country to bankruptcy."
Let us add, the president did not name the true culprits.
However, as they say news agencies, anti-crisis solutions have already been found in Cyprus.
Aphrodite's Island as a new business platform. Special Correspondent RIA "Fog-News" Alex Hertz reports that Aphrodite Island will become the leading global platform in the field of "alternative" international awards. With such a proposal in the coming days will make the President of the Republic of Cyprus. “We will not experiment with the future of our country,” said Anastasiadis.
What does this mean?
It turns out that, according to presidential proposals, Cyprus will henceforth become the central place for awarding the Snobel Prize, the Darwin Prize, the Stella Prize and the Russian “Silver Galosh”.
Currently, the President of Cyprus has scheduled visits to the United States and Russia. He intends to meet with the leaders of these countries, as well as with leading figures of show business, on whom making final decisions about the place of delivery of famous alternative awards depends.
According to available information, Cyprus will be nominated as a candidate for one of these prestigious awards: from Stanford they report that this will be the Darwin Award in the newly proposed nomination: “To a legal entity under public law for achievements in the financial sphere”.
But that's not all. Cyprus will enrich the budget with a celebration of ... divorces. As you know, in decaying Europe, the celebration of divorces has become a declining trend in recent years. The crowd of guests participates in special rituals: burning the wedding dress, sawing rings, etc. Cyprus is perfectly suited to Europeans: after all, due to the low cost of tours, Cyprus is traditionally popular.
Cypriots impose special hopes on the Russians. "Indeed, the business of organizing divorce customers from Russia is able to seriously improve the financial situation of Cyprus," said Jar-Ja Binks, a senior analyst at Leading international rating agency Stitch, from New York.
The third source of replenishment of the budget of Cyprus will be the rental income from Germany on the island of its military base of the Navy ("Deutsche Marine"). The cost of annual rent is one billion euros per year, and the lease term is set at twenty years. The proposal was made by Mr. Anastasiadis Angela Merkel. It is already supported by the European Union.
“But nothing will be done by the Russian government in this situation.” The Russian government is ready to publicly consider the appeals of Russian companies affected in Cyprus, if the relevant appeals are received. First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov announced this on “Sunday Evening” on the Russia 1 TV channel; "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
As for the money of the Russians in Cyprus, it is a variety of capital: taxes have been paid from some, not from some, said Shuvalov. “If someone gets caught and loses money in these two largest banks, it’s a pity,” the deputy prime minister admitted. “But nothing will be done by the Russian government in this situation.”
“If there are serious losses for someone, for companies with state participation, if there is a definite situation, then we are ready to consider it here in Russia. But for this it is not necessary to help the Republic of Cyprus. ”
So, we note, the state, as usual, will help only to itself, the beloved, and ordinary citizens can, too, as usual, quietly enjoy life. However, ordinary citizens do not keep money in Cyprus. As for the state, it will take care not only of the Cypriot contributions of its companies.
Happy deputies. As transmits correspondent RIA "Fog-News" Kain StewartFrom April 1, the base salary of a State Duma deputy will be 500 thousand rubles.
Such a high - two-fold - increase in the remuneration of the people's elected representatives is carried out as part of a program to improve the mechanisms of state administration. Earlier, as it was reported, the workers of the ministries received material incentives, which resulted in a distortion: the executive branch was rated higher than the legislative, and there was a threat of vertical imbalance.
Deputies made calls to eliminate the imbalance. Moreover, the current level of their salaries does not correspond to the complexity of the tasks to be solved: “Creating laws requires a lot of expertise, meetings, and often promotions. Without all this, the chance to push through a separate bill is almost zero. And you have to order everything at your own expense. ” These considerations corr. RIA "Fog-News" shared an anonymous source in Gosudme.
And indeed: a positive expert opinion, the right media coverage, a banquet and gifts for skeptics - all this is paid from the deputy’s pocket. Considerable sums are spent on traveling and on representing Russia’s interests abroad. And the staff of assistants is paid again by the deputy. With such significant expenses, the salary in 200 thousand rubles melts like ice on a griddle. What about family? And personal expenses?
Now, after the reform, the base salary will be 500 thousand rubles per month, and the compensation for the expenses of a personal assistant, translator, secretary, massage therapist, driver and security guard will be expressed in an amount not exceeding 300 thousand rubles per month.
Walk did not work. Eduard Limonov was detained on Triumfalnaya Square in Moscow. Together with several colleagues, he arrived at Triumfalnaya Square, after which he attempted to walk towards the monument to Mayakovsky. There, he was walking, surrounded by a large number of journalists and like-minded people, met by the police, one of whom announced Limonov that the action was illegal and demanded that it be stopped, reports MIGnews.com.
Limonov said that what was happening was “traditional folk festivals,” after which, quite traditionally, he was taken to a police bus, which immediately left Triumphalnaya Square.
Three in one: Olympic script. As you know, 7 February 2014 of the year starts the Olympics, the venue for which will be the city of Sochi. According to an anonymous source close to Red Square, in order to reduce costs for the crisis, strengthen the friendship of nations and as a guarantee of future prosperity of the Eurasian Union, the leaders of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine decided to put a single team from three fraternal states in Sochi. The VO source, who wished to preserve festive anonymity, recalls that the plan was developed as early as December of last year, but only now the parties have reached full agreement.
There were a lot of discrepancies. Among them - sportswear. As is well known, on shorts, socks and T-shirts, in addition to advertising logos, state symbols are also placed. In addition, athletes perform under national flags. The discrepancies were settled by a single vision of the parties of the beautiful Eurasian future. On red T-shirts a seamstress will embroider golden sickles and hammers, and on the tribunes there will hang out the cotton cloths of the USSR. All this will help Ukraine, Belarus and Russia to save on tailor-made design: the three countries will pay for one Chinese designer.
New sports symbols will be reflected on the medals.
As a refreshing Olympic drink, it will be approved not Coca-Cola, as it was planned earlier by lobbyists in the State Duma, who are rumored to be connected with Mr. Browder, but an ordinary kvass. The guests of the Olympiad will be served in sweaty mugs with a capacity of 0,25 l and 0,5 l. Symbolize the strong friendship of the peoples in Sochi, again, not the “White Horse” whiskey, but the “Wheat” vodka, to which the “load” will be sold without fail: salted tomato and salted cucumber.
Such decisions will help finally three friendly countries get rid of the dominance of liberalism.
News about the popular decision of comrades Putin, Yanukovych and Lukashenko has already leaked to the world press. Ben Torch, a columnist for the New York Herald, believes that the former countries of the Soviet camp are returning straight to the totalitarian past. “Autocrats of the Andropov-Brezhnev type, headed by V. Putin, have chosen the most successful moment for a reversal - the Olympics, in which athletes from around the world will take part. Undoubtedly, the PR campaign will be successful. After all, few of the athletes and their trainers, as well as the public inexperienced in geopolitics and geography, know or remember that the USSR collapsed in 1991 (or 1993?) Year. Returning by train and plane to home, to Egypt, South Africa, the USA, Australia, Japan or Great Britain, the participants of the Olympics and fans will consider that they have not visited anywhere, but in the USSR. ” The journalist notes sadly that in order to rid the world community of geographic and geopolitical delusion, the American and other liberal press will need at least thirteen years. According to Mrs. Clinton, the former US Secretary of State, Congress will have to approve additional funding for free media so that they close the huge backlog from the world's leading television channels - Russia Today and Al-Jazeera. Ben Torch doubts that this program can be implemented: after all, the budget is already sequestered for 85 billion dollars. Washington even had to abandon the intentions of the war with Syria and Iran.
About how Putin ahead of Hollande and Cameron. Today, another news came from the Kremlin: in order to implement a number of liberal initiatives promised to the electorate last year, the Russian president approved a directive on the supply of lethal weapons to fighters for true democracy in Syria - participants of the Free Syrian Army. The decision taken at the level of the Ministry of Defense has passed all the preliminary stages of coordination.
Now we are talking about the timing of implementation. Defense Minister Comrade Shoigu at a government meeting held on the morning of April 1 suggested not delaying supplies, and Education Minister Comrade Livanov put it more figuratively: “Do not pull the cat by the tail.” The Ministry of Economic Development expressed the general opinion of its employees that Western competitors are not asleep.
Recall earlier that the Prime Minister of Britain Mr. Cameron and the French President Monsieur Holland declared their ardent desire to supply the Syrian opposition with weapons.
In the framework of Russian humanitarian aid, the rebels fighting against the army of Bashar al-Assad will be allocated certain means of repelling aggression, including missiles. Types and characteristics of the supplied weapons are not listed.
In the meantime, all sorts of guesses are being built in overseas media. Analysts with forecasts ahead of each other. Having looked through the American press, we singled out two typical opinions that Western observers hold.
Experts believe that the Kremlin is going to "surrender" the regime of Assad and to establish trade relations with the rebels, actively funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Thus, Comrade Putin is going to preserve the Syrian arms market, which one cannot but recognize as a profitable strategic move. With regard to the objections of the UN, then the time of sanctions against the warring parties in Syria will expire in May. Russia may not wait for this deadline: after all, France and Britain, which are also preparing to arm the rebels, are not going to comply with the ban on supplies. In the light of these prospects, when the world does not need the services of the Security Council, Ban Ki-moon is reportedly thinking about the UN’s self-dissolution.
Some analysts, mostly from sources close to the US military complex and special services, came closer to the truth. They are puzzled over the question: what kind of missiles is Russia going to deliver to the rebels in Syria? As you know, Russian rockets are flying too far. Didn’t Israel aim at the Kremlin team, which is going to heat the heat with someone’s hands and prepared for the opposition the medium-range missiles, which sooner or later will strike the Iron Dome? The rebels have repeatedly threatened to attack the Jewish state, and then the United States. But it is no secret to anyone that the cold war has resumed between the United States and Russia, gradually cooling the Kremlin’s relations with all American allies. However, the analysts did not come to any definite conclusion - and now they are puzzled over what the next nonsense Russians have thrown out.
And Comrade Shoigu is about to sign an order for the delivery of the most that neither is lethal missiles to the Syrian opposition. At the last meeting, the Minister put it very succinctly about the method of delivery:
- Under its own power.
Kim Jong-un kept his word. As the "Phototelegraph", in 6: 40 Moscow time, North Korea launched a missile attack on the US military base Chinhae, located in South Korea. The initial report that one of the missiles carried a nuclear warhead is not currently being confirmed.
The attack was provoked by a US military aircraft that invaded North Korea’s airspace.
A total of twelve missiles were fired from the DPRK. The territory of the base is engulfed in fire, there is no detailed information.
The US military force stationed in Guam is heading for the scene of the conflict.
Currently, the DPRK continues to set new targets for its missiles.
The new goals of the leader of the North Korean workers. The US bases located in Japan will be viewed as targets for rocket attacks from the DPRK in the event of the start of full-scale hostilities on the Korean Peninsula, the North Korean newspaper Nodon Sinmun reported. Russia.ru with reference to the newspaper "Vzglyad".
According to the central press organ of the Workers' Party of Korea, we are talking about the Misawa US Air Force base in Aomori Prefecture (684 km north of Tokyo), the US Navy Yokosuka base in Kanagawa Prefecture (65 km south of Tokyo) and US military facilities in southern Japan Okinawa Prefecture.
According to Kim Jong-un, the DPRK "is not going to use nuclear weapon as a commodity for the purchase of American dollars or a bargaining chip for economic aid. "
Of course, let me add, Kim Jong-un will use nuclear weapons for its intended purpose - to destroy the imperialist bases.
According to the source, at present the people and the army of the country, led by Kim Jong-un, “have launched a just struggle with the United States, and are also making efforts to create a socialist economic power”.
"The heirs of Hitler." Acting President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro called opposition supporters "Hitler's heirs," reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to France-Presse.
According to Maduro, the single presidential candidate from the opposition, Enrique Capriles and his associates unleashed the “campaign of intolerance”, criticizing the presence of Cuban doctors in Venezuela, as well as attacking the cultural figures who sided with the successor of Hugo Chávez.
According to "Lenta.ru" With reference to the same France-Presse, Venezuelan activists burned effigies of presidential candidates Enrique Capriles and Nicolas Maduro. This happened during the celebration of Easter, when the people of Venezuela traditionally burn the effigies of Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ.
Supporters of the current government burned Capriles effigy in the center of Caracas. They declared that the opposition candidate had betrayed the country and its people, “by supporting the interests of world imperialism”.
Opposition supporters, in turn, organized a public burning of stuffed Maduro, stating that his betrayal was the failure to ensure an adequate standard of living and security for the citizens of the country. The effigy of Nestor Reverol, the Minister of the Interior, and Jorge Rodriguez, the mayor of Caracas, were burned with him.
News from paradise. As passed correspondent RIA "News" Dmitry Znamensky With reference to the Venezuelan television "Vive Tv", President Hugo Chavez went to heaven.
In a short paradise clip, which the operators managed to make, Chavez stands in a meadow under a blue sky. The president is dressed in an “olympic” in the national colors of Venezuela. People are waiting for him.
He rushes to meet them. Here and Augusto Sandino, and Salvador Allende, and Ernesto Che Guevara, and Eva Peron, and Simon Bolivar - and Rosa Ines, the grandmother of Hugo.
Pentagon - self-sufficiency. According to American media, the US Congress by a majority vote approved the decision to change the status of the Pentagon. The document remains to be signed by President Obama.
We are talking about the commercialization of the defense structure and the gradual complete rejection (within the next ten years) of its federal budget financing. This solution will, as Hillary Clinton wrote in her Twitter account, most effectively implement the US strategy to provide the country with cheap energy resources. The new slogan of the Pentagon should be, in the opinion of the former Secretary of State, a call for the Middle East democratization facilities: “Do you have oil? So there is no democracy. ”
In the near future, the Pentagon will have to adjust its programs and the State Department, adjusted for commercial activities. In particular, his new boss John Kerry has already adopted H. Clinton’s proposal on the budget financing of the American media, which would cover world events more objectively than, for example, CNN or the Washington Post, in which democracy will soon become as little as in Russia. In the framework of the State Department’s project, it is expected, in particular, to acquire the opposition channel Infowars.com, in order to use its popular platform for the propaganda of the accelerated democratization of certain parts of the globe, where the strange error prevails that oil and gas belong to local peoples.
Ayman al-Zavahiri spoke on the problems of modern terrorism. According to the American edition "The Onion"Atlanta hosted an al-Qaida conference. Her head, Mr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, gave an informative and fascinating report on the state of world terrorism. His speech was called "Terror at a crossroads: instilling fear in the XXI century to the wrong."
“We live in a constantly changing global environment,” said the al-Qaida boss. - Our community faces numerous social and economic obstacles almost every day. The difficult question is, can we, as terrorist cells, overcome these obstacles by remaining true to our vision? How can we adapt to current realities? ”
56, the al-Qaeda’s summer leader, a well-known Islamist, said this and nodded to himself. The listeners, as the source reports, took notes and laughed when az-Zavahiri criticized the former head of the organization, Osama bin Laden.
“For example,” he continued, “what happens when your terrorist organization’s foreign assets are frozen?” What are you going to do? Do I need to pounce on some journalist and cut off his head? Or maybe you need to blow up the bus station in Amsterdam? Or should we regroup, assess the situation, estimate, is it really impossible to consolidate with another terrorist group, and then jointly acquire nuclear weapons? Get connected, people! The al-Qaida boss called. - Both personally and professionally! This is really what we need today. ”
Sources have confirmed that the 18-minute speech, al-Zawahiri, ended with applause.
