Results of the week. “Why is the war going on? Do they not read newspapers? ”
Latvian deputies made concessions and did not urgently consider a bill equating Soviet symbols with Nazi symbols. This means that the document will not be accepted until 9 in May, and veterans of the Great Patriotic War in Riga and other cities of the country will be able to wear orders.
Discussion of the issue caused heated debates in the local parliament. The moderate part of the deputies corps, taking into account the squall of criticism and early elections, suggested not to rush in with the adoption of the law and weigh everything. In turn, the nationalists stated that there was nothing to expect, and by May 9, Soviet symbols should be banned. As a result, the first ones won the vote with a gap of just 5 votes. At the same time, both sides spoke of the need for "Latvian understanding stories".
Indicative story. Latvian lawmakers feel very softly that, having adopted such a law today, they can stop being lawmakers tomorrow. Even from their beloved European Union center one can hardly expect that they will accept the “Latvian understanding of history” with a bang. By the way, the phrase “Latvian understanding of history” itself is already something ... According to this phrase, official Riga finally subscribes to the fact that history cannot be absolute, and that it should be interpreted without fail. And if so, then today in Latvian textbooks there are paragraphs about the Soviet "occupation", and tomorrow, if the European Union "fraternity" orders a long life, about the occupation of Europe (with the prohibition of symbols and everything else involved in the EU and NATO). Their morals ...

Putin proposed to ban entry to the CU countries without a passport from 2015,
Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a ban on visiting the territory of the Customs Union without passports from 2015. “We understand very well what a great job it is,” Putin said, and proposed the initial 1 term of January 2015. Putin emphasized that this provision would not concern the citizens of the Customs Union, that is, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
The President specifically instructed the Director of the FMS on the need to comply with international practice on cross-border exchanges, implying preferential rules for crossing the border by residents of border areas. Thus, Putin repeated the position of his message to the Federal Assembly, announced in December 2012.
At the same time with this proposal, which, obviously, will become a reality, the period ends when the authorities of some of our neighbors could afford to keep the door to Russia ajar — just in case firefighters ... At the same time, even the indecent places were often shown to us, and our hands for handshakes were directed to a completely different direction from the Russian Federation. Conscious of this notorious fact, the Russian president decided to declare with enviable directness: they say, either let's open our doors for each other wider and let us stop showing obscenity to each other, or ... Some did not understand the message, others found a new one reason to accuse Putin of hanging a new iron curtain. Well, so, if we don’t want a curtain, maybe it’s true - it’s enough to play up ... Only Russians in the same CIS countries will definitely not have a sweet time.

Amazing revelations from Mikhail Saakashvili: war and Kondi
Mikhail Saakashvili revealed the details of the start of the August 2008 war of the year and the role that the United States played in it. The Georgian president said that George W. Bush was seriously considering the option of attacking the Russian army, but he did not dare to do it. He also admitted that “dear Kondi” advised Tbilisi not to get involved in this war. Saakashvili opened his heart in an interview with Rustavi-2. According to him, "the United States seriously studied the possibility of bombing the Roki tunnel," through which Russian troops then came to the aid of South Ossetia, ITAR-TASS reported. “And I very much regret that the United States did not make such a decision,” he stressed.
At the same time, Saakashvili said he was ready to answer questions from the parliamentary commission about the events of August 2008. “If a parliamentary commission is created, then I’m ready to come to parliament and answer all the necessary questions, but when this topic is discussed by the country's prosecutor’s office under the Criminal Code, it gives different results.”
“Dear Kondi” are certainly impressive words from the Georgian president. Well, just a rephrased version of the film “Love and Doves”: “I told her is Kondolizushka! And she told me - Mishunyushka! ”So straight and the tears of emotion from fiercely played out love between the main Georgian of the 2008 model of the year and the American administration, which was kindled against the backdrop of“ Russian military aggression ”, are flowing.
The interview is crowned with a phrase quoted by the Georgian president, allegedly belonging to George Bush: “Well, how are you, Misha, not so good, right?”
Apparently, at this moment, Misha believed that Bush was already saddling a bomber, which would become the head of many thousands of shock groups flying to the aid of Georgian nano-democratism, but Bush, having put the receiver down, had already pulled the lever of the drainage of the Mishunyushka. In general, George Djordzhevich Bush himself then firmly obsessed, realizing that Saakashvili’s military support would lead him to war with Russia ... And now that the United States did not get involved in the war, Mikhail Nikolozovich is now sincerely sorry.

Teaching in Russia continues
More than one and a half thousand Pacific Marines fleet (Pacific Fleet) participated in multi-day exercises, which were the result of winter combat training. This was announced by the official representative of the Pacific Fleet Captain First Rank Martov.
Capturing the bridgehead on which the enemy was entrenched, landing from the sea and from the air - is one of the main tasks of the "black berets". But according to legend, the Marines even had to retreat during these exercises, using maneuverable defense. One of the units in Primorye, which was located at a distance of several hundred kilometers from the venue of the exercise, the command transferred by sea airplanes aviation An-26 to land parachute troops on the defended bridgehead.
I am glad that the teachings of the units of the Russian army are becoming systematic. A few years ago, any output of one or another troops to combat training was perceived as something extraordinary, but today the teachings are gradually acquiring the status of self-evident. As the saying goes: keep it up!

NATO consults with the Russian Ministry of Defense: how to withdraw troops from Afghanistan?
The other day the Russian edition of Kommersant published a material stating that representatives of the NATO command in strict secrecy appealed to the Russian Ministry of Defense in order to learn from the experience of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan.
There are two possible reasons for this treatment. The first reason: Brussels is really going to use not just the experience of the Russian side in terms of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, but, in fact, Russian territory (as they say, anything is possible in this world). Reason Two: Brussels wants to conduct a fairly bright action on the return of the troops of the "winners" to their homes. But as regards the organization of striking actions, it is unlikely the same Americans would decide to use Russian councils. Already, Americans are used to organizing the show themselves, and often they succeed in these shows: both in terms of troop deployment (recalling “enchanting” troop deployment to Iraq after the “Powell test tube shown at the UN”) and inference. As they say, they enter and go out on their own, and then suddenly they decided to ask us for help ...
According to the Kommersant building, information about the NATO side’s appeal to the Russian Defense Ministry is secret, but it was almost immediately confirmed in the Russian military department itself. It turns out that the appeal was lit ... And how now the "lit up" will come out of Afghanistan with their heads held high? ..

The purpose of the letter to Shoigu UK on the "Oboronservisa case"
The Russian Ministry of Defense, since December 2012, has been making all efforts to return real estate objects lost as a result of the activities of individual defendants in the case of Oboronservis, stipulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation, a representative of the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
Thus, he commented on the reports of some media that Sergei Shoigu sent a letter to Alexander Bastrykin, stating that the Russian Defense Ministry as a result of Oboronservis’s activities is the injured party and asked, in particular, to arrest the sold 31 shares State Institute of Special Construction "(31 th GPISS).
"And then, and now the main goal of the Russian Defense Ministry is to return property, especially objects that are important to the defense department," said the source.
However, it was not at all that the main military department asks for measures to return his property (the fact that the property must be returned is obvious), but the fact that at the same time Anatoly Serdyukov was named the person who was selling the objects of the Ministry of Defense, the quote said: "Misled." This phrase is somewhat alarming. And if you add the words of First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov to it, that in Russia they fight against corruption too zealously, then wariness increases even more.

Special Operations Forces in Russia are ready for use
The Russian Armed Forces have formed Special Operations Forces, as well as preparing for their use. This was stated by V. Gerasimov, Army General, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. He also noted that the use of the MTR is planned not only in the country, but also abroad. And the process of combat training of the formation is constantly monitored.
According to Gerasimov, the Command of the Special Operations Forces was previously created, the scope of activity of which includes planned work and the implementation of measures regarding the army training plan. In addition, a special package of documents was developed, according to which the direction of development, the scope of use and ways of preparing these forces are determined.
It is noteworthy that at one time the project to create the Special Operations Forces was rejected by Anatoly Serdyukov, who at that time served as the head of the Ministry of Defense. Apparently, neither the Soviet nor the current American experience in using such forces for Mr. Serdyukov looked convincing, and therefore the army was built differently: shoulder straps and full outsourcing ... I am glad that now the modernization of the Russian army is beginning to be carried out not only on paper.

The course of Comrade Chavez
16 April to "BBC" handed over: the Venezuelan electoral commission announced Nicolas Maduro the winner of the presidential election, a quote, "despite a small separation from the rival - Enrique Capriles - and calls for a recount". A very strange statement, it should be noted. That is, if you have a “small gap”, then you have no right to be considered a winner? .. The election commission reported that Maduro supported 50,7% of voters, and Capriles - 49,1%. In the 2000 year, we recall, the gap between Bush and Gore was much smaller: 48,847% versus 48,838%.
It became known earlier that the US authorities and the Organization of American States called for independent verification of the election results. “BBC” writes that Enrique Capriles said that no one should declare victory until the recount takes place.
Meanwhile, at a rally of supporters in Caracas, comrade Maduro announced that he had won a "just, legal and constitutional" victory. His words are quoted "Euronews": “Capriles, I told you, I said publicly that if I lose by just one vote, I will recognize the victory for you. But it did not happen. I won by a margin of 300 thousands of votes. This is the decision of the people. ”
By the way, Enrique Capriles Radonsky, who advocates for recalculation and calls his opponent "illegitimate", could recall recent events, namely, the December events. 17 December Alexander Reutov, columnist "Kommersant", wrote that in the elections in the state of Miranda, the incumbent head of state, Enrique Capriles, and former vice-president of Venezuela, Elias Jaua, fought for the governor’s post. Mr. Capriles won with great difficulty: with an advantage of only 0,35% of votes.
Nevertheless, no one disputed the election results. Capriles became governor again.
On the evening of April 18, the National Electoral Council of Venezuela announced that there would not be a recount of one hundred percent of the votes in the presidential election. RIA News".
As the head of the Council Tibisay Lucena, it was decided to conduct a "civil audit" of the results of the elections. The Council decided to “expand the audit and civil verification” of all ballot boxes that were not checked on election day.
According to Venezuelan law, voting is automated, and 54% of ballot boxes with receipts are audited on election day. Now the remaining 46% of ballot boxes will be audited. Lucena stressed that auditing does not mean manual recount.

Two in caps
The FBI announced photos of suspected terrorists at the finish of the Boston Marathon, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Andrey Bekrenev.
Yesterday, at a press conference, Richard Delorye, the FBI spokesman in charge of the investigation, presented photographs of the suspects to journalists: the first of them was a dark man in a black baseball cap, the second was a white man in a white cap, wearing a visor back. According to Delorye, these images were obtained from surveillance cameras installed in the area of the explosions.
A video was made public showing how the suspects follow each other down Boylston Street, where the marathon finished. Both men have backpacks behind their backs. The record shows how a man in a white cap leaves a backpack where an explosion subsequently thundered.
Delorye said the suspects were “armed and extremely dangerous.” “Does anyone know these people as friends, neighbors, colleagues, or relatives. We expect them to share this information with us, ”the FBI representative said.

All two guys, something from our yard. Now let at least one in the OSCE say at least a word about Chechnya and the Russian invaders.
Obama is not afraid of weapons lobby
On April 17, the Upper House of Congress rejected initiatives aimed at controlling turnover and use weapons. None of the bills received the necessary votes for 60. Representatives of the Republican Party opposed these initiatives, as they considered this a violation of the constitutional right of US citizens to self-defense, reports "RT".
Between the first and two other stages of voting, the president made a speech in which he condemned the decision of members of Congress, calling it "shameful." He said that they “gave intimidating themselves to the influential arms lobby,” stressing that he did not intend to stop trying to change the law. "This is only the first round," - said the American president.
Twin Elvis wanted to poison Obama
The American authorities charged 18 on April with the suspect of sending ricin letters to Barack Obama and several members of the Senate. As reported by the US Department of Justice, Paul Kevin Curtis, who was arrested on Wednesday in the framework of the investigation of this case, was charged with, inter alia, the threat of harm to health, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Kirsanov.
If convicted, Curtis faces up to 15 years in prison. Investigators found that the letters were sent to them on April 8 and contained a number of identical phrases with reproaches addressed to President and Senator Roger Wicker. At the end were the words: "My name is K. K., and I approve of this message." The third letter of the accused sent one of the judges in Mississippi.
Vasily Chepelevsky ("Lenta.ru") indicates that Paul Kevin Curtis is a singer who has passed the notoriety. He became famous only after he was detained on suspicion of sending poison to Obama. Postal terrorist previously acted in the form of famous musicians, starting with Elvis. During the show Curtis took from five hundred to a thousand dollars. In addition to Presley, in the arsenal of Curtis - Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly. Customer feedback on the Internet is entirely positive: almost all of the five out of five stars have put the “master of reincarnation”.
The motives of the “Elvis double”, which have pushed him to ricin distribution, have not yet been clarified.
They do not want to be Americans
Last year, reports correspondent "RT" Peter OliverMore than 1,8 Thousands of Americans decided to pass their passports: they don’t want to be US citizens due to exorbitant taxes.
Among them are rich and famous people. One Kung Fu master, for example, changed his American citizenship to Singapore. One of the creators of Facebook has also moved to Singapore, saving 40 million dollars.
And if you change your mind - and decided to become an American again? Oh, this procedure can not be called painless. We'll have to (say in your own words) go through the bureaucratic similarity of hell. If it is determined that you moved because of taxes, you will face big problems when trying to return to the US.
People pass a passport not only because of high taxes. Some cannot accept the direction in which their country is heading. America, according to Mike Gogulsky (stateless persons), kills people by UAVs or court decisions.
Since 2008, the number of people who decided to leave the United States has grown 8 times. And this number is growing.

War of Lists
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced a list of US citizens who are denied entry into the Russian Federation under federal law No. 272-FZ "On Measures to Influence Persons Involved in Violating Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms, Rights and Freedoms of Citizens of the Russian Federation", reports Interfax.
The list included persons involved in the legalization and use of torture, the indefinite detention of prisoners (“Guantanamo List”): David Eddington, Head of the Office of the Vice President of the United States (2005-2008), John Yu, Legal Counsel of the US Department of Justice (2001 -2003), Jeffrey Miller, commander of the US Navy base at Guantanamo (2002-2003), Jeffrey Harbeson, commander of the US Navy at Guantanamo (2010-2012). The list of the Foreign Ministry also includes persons involved in violations of the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens abroad.
As Interfax reminds, on the eve of the United States published a “Magnitsky list”, which included eighteen people. There mainly appear to be law enforcement officers who, according to the drafters, were involved in the investigation of the criminal case against Sergei Magnitsky.
Moscow noted that the publication of the American “Magnitsky list” dealt a severe blow to bilateral relations. “We regret to state that the American side, following the provisions of the absurd“ Law on behalf of S. Magnitsky, ”made public the names of Russian citizens, against which visa and financial sanctions are being imposed. Our fundamental assessment of this unfriendly step is well known - under pressure from the Russophobic-minded members of the US Congress, a strong blow was struck to bilateral relations and mutual trust, ”said Alexander Lukashevich, an official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, posted on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Comrade Lukashevich noted that “the war of the lists is not our choice, but we have no right not to respond to outright blackmail.” “It’s time for politicians in Washington, finally, to realize that building relations with a country like Russia in the spirit of mentoring and blatant dictation is unpromising,” the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
As the RIA News"referring to the newspaper "Kommersant", the work on the "Magnitsky list" in the United States will continue. New names will definitely appear in it - as information about human rights violations in Russia is verified.
The fact that the White House "is serious about the issue of human rights in the Russian Federation," is evidenced by the approval of a secret supplement to the list. The administration has the right to classify the names of some defendants "for reasons of national security" - they will not be imposed financial sanctions, and only a ban on entry to the United States will be imposed. The Kommersant interlocutor refused to name which of the Russian officials was mentioned in this document, saying only that “the closed list is two times shorter than the main one”.
Curious how that conveys RIA News"The Americans, who learned that Moscow and Washington imposed a ban on entry into their territory for eighteen employees on both sides, were disappointed that the Russian list was so narrow and the sanctions so minor.
At the Huffington Post publication forum, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2012, over 4 thousand people expressed their attitude to the American Magnitsky list and the response list of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Most of the panelists believe that it would be worth much more senior American politicians to call for an answer.
Some reviews are very informative. For example, here is what Michael Bilebil writes:
And here is another comment by its author, Olaf:
An original proposal was also expressed at the forum: let Russia and the United States mutually extradite each other of all the parties involved in the lists, so that they would appear before an independent foreign court, if justice did not happen in their homeland. A New Yorker called Mike-InNY calls for:

And again about the "shale revolution"
In the text forecast The development of the energy industry before 2040, the Analytical Center for the Government of Russia and the Energy Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, developed a basic scenario for the development of the world economy and fuel markets, as well as extreme versions of this scenario (“shale failure”, “shale breakthrough”).
In the “failure” scenario (sad for the USA), the book price of oil compared to 2040 is forecast to reach 130 dollars per barrel (the dollar is equal to the dollar of 2010 of the year). Gas prices will also soar: up to 378 dollars per thousand cubic meters in Europe, 448 dollars - in Japan, 480 - in the PRC. The spot price of gas in the United States will reach 430 dollars per thousand cubic meters. In this scenario, experts say, those who can lose in the "shale breakthrough." The balance of power in the oil and gas market will actually remain. By 2040, the Russian Federation will significantly increase oil and gas production: up to 535 million tons and 980 billion cubic meters. m. United States, on the contrary, lose - and also "significantly." According to the scenario, mining there in the shale will fall by the year 2020; America will return to the ranks of countries importing natural gas. Moreover, gas will be expensive there: about halfway between its cost in Europe and the Asia-Pacific Region. OPEC will increase oil production (by 220 mln. Tons) and will (again, “significantly” - by 20-30 dollars per barrel) affect world oil prices. Parallel to these processes, mining will develop in the Asia-Pacific region: after all, with high oil prices, deep-water offshore projects will also become profitable. As a result, China will increase.
Another “breakthrough” scenario, in which the authors of the 2040 report focus on, is built on the assumption that this very “breakthrough” is an accomplished fact. The argument in favor of this statement is the statistics: over the past 5 years, oil production from shale plei increased from 8 mln. Tons (2007) to 100 mln. Tons (2012), and shale gas production - from 40 billion cubic meters to 250 billion cubic meters (same period). However, scientists note (see p. 65 report) that there are a number of factors hindering production growth: a relatively high cost range; high water consumption; environmental risks; neoprobyvannost technology for the extraction of oil produced by intra-layer retorting. But that's why it is a “breakthrough” scenario, to assume: there will be technologies that can remove the existing restrictions (for example, a cheap anhydrous method of breaking a hydraulic layer). Experts predict the use of this method in 2020.
As a result, deposits from China, Mongolia, Jordan, Israel and other countries will be commissioned. Problems with the environmental component of production will be removed. The cost of shale production worldwide will reach the level of costs in the United States (no more than 80 dollars per barrel of oil and 150 dollars per cubic meter of gas). After 2020, active development will begin not only of low-permeability oil reservoirs, but also of shale (kerogen) oil.
The realization of the “breakthrough” scenario, say the speakers, will increase the production of “unconventional” oil in the world by 2040 million tons, and gas - by 117 billion cubic meters by 222. m compared to the baseline scenario. This may well shift oil and gas prices down. True, our experts do not foresee a significant drop in oil prices. However, some global players in the market will get additional opportunities to influence, and some will lose their positions.
Win here, of course, the United States. In the first place - due to the production of own oil (by 70 million tons more than in the baseline scenario), secondly - due to the production of its own gas (slightly less than in the baseline scenario - due to increased production in the PRC). "This fact, given the overall geopolitical significance of the United States, actually turns them into the most influential player in the global hydrocarbon market," it is written on the page of the 69 report.
China will also win - due to a decrease in import volumes relative to the baseline scenario, caused by the development of its own shale deposits after 2020.
The developed countries of Europe will lose from the “breakthrough”: the volumes of their own European oil will be ousted from the market, projects for the exploitation of fields on the North Sea shelf will not be introduced, energy dependence on suppliers will grow, etc.
OPEC member countries will also lose. A “shale breakthrough” will generally weaken the cartel - to the extent of depriving it of the possibility of influencing the policy of oil prices.
Of course, the CIS countries will also lose. The implementation of the “breakthrough” option for the Russian Federation will result in a decrease in 2020 of oil production by 50 million tons compared to the baseline scenario and a decrease in exports due to the narrowing of a niche in the Asian market. Gas exports will also decline - by 70 billion cubic meters than in the baseline scenario. The CIS will be the most sensitive to this scenario, experts say.
Thus, it can be concluded that only the “shale failure” scenario is favorable for Russia, under which “breakthrough” technologies obviously will not appear at all, and the prices for oil and gas will rise significantly. Russia's winnings will be accompanied by a loss to the United States, which will be forced to return to the ranks of gas-importing countries (and it has become more expensive).
But it is not all that bad.
Sergey Duz ("Voice of Russia") notes that the slate technology has become payable only recently - along with the rise in prices for hydrocarbons produced in the traditional way. In addition, the main adviser to the head of the Analytical Center under the Russian government, Professor Leonid Grigoriev himself, notes that Russia will feel quite comfortable in the global economy. By 2040, it will even rise to fifth place from sixth in the ranking of countries by global GDP. Thirty years later, Russia will remain the most important participant in the gas market and the world's largest exporter of hydrocarbons.
Director of the Institute of National Energy Sergey Pravosudov, talking about mining from shale, said: “The problem is that the productivity of wells drops very quickly. That is, after fracturing over 1-2 years, gas recovery is reduced by 70-80%. Therefore, you need to drill constantly, blow up huge underground arrays. This leads to earthquakes that do not like the local population. The United States is still deciding the issue due to the fact that shale gas is being extracted in sparsely populated territories. But the larger the scale, the greater the environmental problems. The soil turns into scorched earth. It looks like a lunar landscape. Few would agree to that. ”
Sergey Pravosudov gives an economic breakdown of shale production in the United States. He points out that today shale gas is sold in the United States at a price below cost. The cost price is 150-180 dollars per thousand cubic meters, and sales are for 100 dollars. As a result, companies reduce drilling. By the end of 2013, the expert predicts a drop in shale gas production - and not a simple drop, but a landslide. To this he adds that, if three or four years ago 1400 drilling units worked for shale gas, then on March 2013 of the year they were smaller than 400. This shows how much of the fall is waiting for Americans in the near future. As for Europe, the expert believes that there is not a single productive gas well.

An analysis of the files downloaded from the World Wide Web by the North Korean elite suggests that it does not particularly adhere to the official line of the party. The Torrentfreak blog, referring to data from the American service Scaneye, which monitors torrents, reports that the American television series “How I Met Your Mother” and the thriller “Followers” enjoy special love with North Korean users. In addition, the North Korean party bosses are very fond of hard porn movies. The DPRK leadership has quite a few admirers of Japanese porn actress Marika Hase and her American colleague Ellis Frost, and in general films with titles like “Take me right here.”

Islamization is sweeping through Europe
Analysts believe this year will set a record for the number of mosques being built in Europe. "Vesti" they write that mosques are being built in Greece, Spain, Germany. In Ireland, one of the largest Muslim temples is being built - for 64 million euros. Megame-cheek will soon be built in Belgian Liege: with a library, café, shops. Giant cult complex worth 40 million euros will soon replenish Munich. Even the Greek bankrupt government is going to spend a million euros to build the first official mosque in Athens. One after another, minarets grow in Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Spain. What is going on? In essence, nothing new: the same European Islamization.
Greece stands out against the background of other countries for the construction of mosques. Note that in this country a grave economic crisis is rampant; this country needs constant credit injections from the EU; in this country not so long ago, some elections followed others, riots in the cities, young people threw Molotov cocktails at policemen, thieves robbed shops, banks and temples, and some barbarians cut down the remnants of Plato's olive oil - just for firewood.
Islam News, referring to the newspaper "Ethnos", reports that the Athens authorities are going to build one or even two mosques in each area of the city. Fifteen Muslim temples may appear in the capital of Greece at once.
The road to the large-scale construction of mosques is opened by the construction of a central mosque. At a meeting of the city council, the mayor of Athens, Yorgos Kaminis, said: “The creation of a central mosque will make it possible to impose order in the work of the chapels, which now work unofficially, and to build one or two mosques in each city district.”
Expert IA "REX"Lev Vershinin, political scientist and historian, candidate of historical sciences, also spoke on the topic of European Islamization. He stopped just in Greece, highlighting here a number of features.
Greece is a very special case, says the historian. According to its Basic Law (Section II, article 3), “the religion that dominates Greece is the religion of the Eastern Orthodox Church of Christ. The Orthodox Church of Greece, which recognizes Jesus Christ as its head, is inextricably linked in its dogmas with the Great Church of Constantinople and with every other one Church of Christ, unswervingly, as well as they, the holy apostolic and conciliar canons and sacred traditions ", and" The church regime existing in certain areas of the state does not contradict the provisions of the preceding paragraph ”, and, until recently, the construction of“ non-Orthodox and other prayer houses ”was extremely difficult, and in maintenance of mosques (ie the worship buildings with minarets) was forbidden by law. The preamble to the Constitution is short: instead of a series of pompous phrases, only "In the name of the Holy, Unified and Divisible Trinity".
Greek legislation, says Comrade Vershinin, is a unique precedent in the Christian world. It is based on a direct appeal to the Creator in its Eastern Orthodox interpretation. The latter is understood as the core of the unity of the Greek people and their statehood, which corresponds to the worldview of the overwhelming majority of Greeks.
Comparing this fact with information about the construction of a mosque in Athens and the plans of the mayor’s office in the near future to build another dozen more “prayer houses with minarets”, draw conclusions, the historian concludes.
Thus, Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus, who declared about unconstitutional, knew what he was talking about.
According to "DELFI"referring to “EuropeNews” and the portal Semitsa.ru, the former Kapernaumsky church in Hamburg will be converted into a mosque. In Scotland, the episcopal parish of St. John in Aberdeen became the first in Britain to agree to share their premises with Muslims. They can pray there in church five times a day.
In the Basque town of Portugalete (Spain) 21 March, Muslims opened a mosque. According to statistics, every fourth Basque is against the construction of mosques in his area, and every fifth would not like to have a Muslim neighbor, the data "DELFI". The mosque was open despite protests from local residents.
In Valencia, the Ahmadi community has opened a new mosque 29 in March. The spiritual leader of the community Hazrat Mirza Masrour Ahmad said that, according to his information, in two decades the number of Muslims in Spain will double. There is a possibility that Islam will again dominate the country.
And in tolerant France a mosque was opened for sexual minorities in November last year. There is no separation between men and women. Joint prayers are held in the hall in the Buddhist chapel ...

Lie, Alexander. We have a skewed and ugly form of the economy, there are enough workers and without migrants, they are not busy with what they need.
Problems in the economy are not caused by the lack of workers, but by the fact that the system sends these hands to the wrong place. If we only have the number of officials at all levels increased by 40 thousand per year, what to say about the rest of the non-manufacturing sector?
By the way, in Moscow. In Moscow, the order of 14 million, of which only 31% is Russian.
In 2007, the state allocated 800 million rubles for the development of Islam.
In 2011, the state allocated 7 billion rubles to create an Islamic university. For example: agricultural subsidies amounted to 4,8 billion rubles.
Our state is secular, the government directly violates the Constitution of the country.
Putin appealed to the countries of the "Islamic Conference" to take Russia there.
Muslim leaders called for the removal of Orthodox symbolism from the coat of arms of Russia.
The Muslim community said it needed a vice premier who professed Islam.
Question. Why do religious figures, whether Christian or Muslim, climb into secular state structures under the Constitution of the state?

Money for Serbia: not for interest
10 April Ivica Dacic, Prime Minister of Serbia, met with Sergei Shoigu, Russia's defense minister. The parties talked about military-technical cooperation. Comrade Dacic, whose words are quoted "Lenta.ru", said: "There is a great need for the Serbian army to modernize and purchase modern types of weapons." Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who also communicated with Dacic, said that Russia provided Serbia with a state loan of half a billion dollars, and on preferential terms.
The agreement on state lending was signed in the presence of Medvedev and Dachich.
Olga Samofalova ("Vzglyad.ru") believes that Russia manages to combine economic interests with concern for political influence. Some conditions of the Serbian half-billion loan, in the opinion of the journalist, “look exclusive.”
Brief data on the loan: term - 10 years, the rate - 3,5% per annum. The grace period for loan servicing is two years. Repayment will begin in the third year. The first tranche in the amount of 300 million dollars will be provided in the near future, and Russia will issue the remaining 200 million dollars after the country concludes a stabilization agreement with the International Monetary Fund.
The purpose of this loan is not directly mentioned, however, earlier, in the fall of 2012, Serbia asked Russia for a loan to cover the budget deficit. Called the sum of 1 billion dollars.
Vladimir Mukhin ("Independent newspaper") believes that the agreement on granting Serbian state credit to Serbia indicates a significant thaw in relations between the two countries. On the same day, when the agreement was formalized, Dacic met with Shoigu. There were reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, according to which Moscow and Belgrade declared their readiness in the near future to intensify military and military-technical cooperation.
Vladimir Mukhin also points out that 11 of April Serbia received observer status with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Experts consider this event a breakthrough achievement of Russia and its allies in the realization of geopolitical interests in the South of Europe. The initiated military transformations in the CSTO, as well as the organization of new tasks oriented towards Europe, significantly change the situation. After all, earlier the CSTO did not form plans that went beyond the post-Soviet space.

But those who write “Why! It is better to distribute to the people! Around the traitors, sadly. Let's start with the fact that, unfortunately, the state does not care much for the people. Will it be easier on the heart if American bonds are bought for these half a billion?
Paradise for pedophiles
Sergey Duz ("Voice of Russia") told that a political party has been registered in the Netherlands, which defends the rights and freedoms of pedophiles. The party is called, by the way, “Mercy, Freedom and Diversity.” She intends to fight for lowering the age from which to engage in sexual relations, from 16 to 12 years, as well as for the legalization of sex with animals (zoophilia) and child pornography. The party also requires the legalization of any drugs and the universal right to free travel on trains. Its representatives announced their intention to participate in the parliamentary elections.
S. Duz reminds that the activity of the Dutch pedophile party was previously banned, and in 2010 its leadership announced self-destruction. But then, after trying to re-register, the Hague court ruled that the pedophile party is legal, because “the right to establish a political party is one of the basic rights of democracy.”
These political pedophiles now intend to “awaken The Hague from sleep”: that is, to overcome social taboos and begin to fight intolerance.
Party representatives want pedophilia to be discussed openly: after all, bans only excite the curiosity of children. They also intend to rid pedophilia from a negative image in society by becoming members of parliament.

"Puzzle of Europe" 2.0 from Comrade Kaa
Polish publicist Tsiprian Darchevski commented "Voice of Russia" appearance in the sale of shocking children's toys.
Polish television (TVN) reported on its website that the “Puzzle Europe” toy, a jigsaw puzzle, was put on sale, having assembled a map of Europe. In the puzzle of 58 elements, it is intended for children from 6 years. The attached map contains information on the history of some places. There was a place for Katyn and Smolensk.
The text reads: “The murder of Polish officers in 1940. The death of President Lech Kaczynski with a possible assassination attempt in 2010.” The inscription evolves! On the map above, we see an “inexplicable catastrophe”, and on a map bought by a Polish journalist, “a possible attempt”. Moreover, in an interview with tvp.info, the toy manufacturer said that these are the old versions, and in the following drawing, the “possible” may fall away from the “attempt”.
According to various studies, the Smolensk assassination believes in 24 to 33% of Poles. The victims of the catastrophe are called “martyrs”, “dead” in the Polish media, the author writes, as if they gave their lives for the faith or fought on Russian soil with arms.
