The military airfield ceased to be in the 1980s. It was converted to an airfield serving the needs of civil agricultural aviation. But little is known about this. That is why the militants recorded their videos here for the Al-Jazeera channel.

Berlin is waiting for an explanation from London. The German government sent a request to London in connection with the published information about the program of spying on e-mail and phone calls conducted by the British special services. "Lenta.ru" with reference to The Guardian. German authorities are interested in, among other things, the answer to the question of whether the citizens of Germany are not objects of surveillance.

Also in the letter, which the Minister of Justice of Germany Sabina Leutheuser-Schnarrenberger sent to the British ministries of justice and home affairs, asked whether the program was sanctioned by the court and what its legal framework was. Also, the German minister is interested in whether the surveillance program is used selectively to search for specific information, or its scope is broader.

Representatives of the German authorities are not the first time criticizing the program "Tempora". Angela Merkel expressed her disappointment, and the Minister of Justice called this the “Hollywood nightmare”.

However, the British Foreign Secretary, William Hague, declared the work of the special services legal, and called the exchange of the data obtained with the United States, in which the British special services were convicted, “irreplaceable.”

The material on the Tempora program, conducted by the British Government Communications Center, recalls Lenta, was published on June 22 in the newspaper The Guardian with reference to Edward Snowden.

Deadline for Berlusconi. Giuseppe Guastella ("Corriere della Sera"; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") talked about the sentence Berlusconi.

The Milan court not only found Silvio Berlusconi guilty, but also decided to initiate an investigation into defense witnesses, suspecting them of giving false testimony.

“The judges sentenced Silvio Berlusconi to 7 years in prison in the Ruby case, although the prosecutor demanded 6 years: in 2010, 73 the summer prime minister had paid sex with Karima el-Marug, while he was aware that Moroccan was total 17 years. When the girl was taken to the questura for identification, the former prime minister, in order to prevent her from telling about what was happening at Villa Arcore during the “Bunga-Bunga” parties, put such strong pressure on the police leadership that Ruby was transferred to bail out to a regional adviser Nicole Minetti, ”notes the Italian edition.

True, the court decision is not final, it will be sent to the Court of Cassation.

Belarusian businessmen against the Customs Union. Belarusian entrepreneurs plan to collect signatures for the country's exit from the Customs Union. The relevant decision, according to the “Belarusian News”, It was adopted at the forum of entrepreneurs, held on June 24 in Minsk.

The Belarusian authorities are ready to meet businessmen. A number of ministries and departments are preparing a decree designed to simplify the certification procedure.

“Who counts with him, with this empty man?” Moldovan Orthodox believers can organize protests if President Nicolae Timofti attempts to obstruct the visit of Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill to Chisinau. On this edition of the "Pulse of the Day" said the Bishop of Balti and Falesti Markel, reports "Lenta.ru".

So he commented on the information that the head of state does not approve the visit of the head of the ROC. Timofti had previously argued, recalling Lenta, that Kirill’s arrival was due to “the political context that puts the country in a position of hostage between East and West.”

“Who counts with him, with this empty man (Timofti. - Approx.“ Tapes ”)? Should he raise his filthy voice against His Holiness Patriarch Cyril? If we organize a church, then we’ll clear everything in our path, can he at least understand his 65-year-old head? ”Said Markel, urging the president to deal with more pressing issues, such as raising pensions.

The visit of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia to Moldova and Transnistria is scheduled for September 7-9.

Will Japan create ballistic missiles? The Ministry of Defense of Japan has begun to consider the development of ballistic missiles with a range of 400-500 km, which will be used for the defense of Senkaku. Reports about it correspondent ITAR-TASS Igor Belyaevreferring to the Sankey newspaper.

Snowden lives in Sheremetyevo. A former US intelligence officer is still at the Sheremetyevo airport. Location of Snowden at a press conference during a visit to Finland, Vladimir Putin revealed, writes Interfax.

“He is like a transit passenger in the transit hall and is still there,” the president said. “He came as a transit passenger - and he does not need a visa or other documents. As a transit passenger, he has the right to buy a ticket and fly where he wants, ”the Russian leader stressed. “He does not cross the state border, so he does not need a visa,” Putin said.

Moscow, according to Putin, is not going to hand over the American to Washington. “With regard to the possible extradition anywhere, we can extradite some foreign nationals only to the states with which we have relevant international agreements on the extradition of criminals,” the Russian leader said, adding that such an agreement with the United States Russia did not conclude.

The accusations that Russia was involved in organizing Snowden's flight from American justice, Putin called "nonsense and nonsense."

Humiliation of Obama. In a review on the hot topic of the fugitive Snowden, "Inopressa" led the opinion of Western observers.

“A measure of respect: our friends in Hong Kong, China, Russia and Ecuador,” the commentary on The Wall Street Journal is so entitled.

“As president, I’m going to restore America’s status to the world,” Obama’s words from the presidential debate in 2008 remind this publication. Today, the White House administration announces to the world that it is very important for her to return Snowden to the US.

Oh, if only the world was equally important to the opinion of the United States! - writes a magazine.

The United States asked Hong Kong to arrest and extradite Snowden, but the Hong Kong authorities allowed him to fly to Moscow.

Then Secretary of State Kerry called on Russia to send Snowden to the United States, and the Russian media write that, according to the statements of the Russian authorities, there are no legal grounds for his arrest.

The Snowden Saga demonstrates that the Obama administration’s foreign influence is drying up, according to Bret Stevens in the same edition of The Wall Street Journal. “It's funny that Putin seems to always reveal a civil liberty activist when it gives a chance to humiliate the United States. If the Russian government wants someone not to walk on Russian soil, it either expels it from this land or hides it under the ground, ”the material says.

The main lesson of the Snowden case is that the “era of American powerlessness” has arrived.

“The Obama administration has decided not to get involved in annoying situations abroad, and now wonders that its foreign influence is drying up,” Stevens sighs impatiently.

“The Snowden case highlights the double standards of Ecuador,” indicates The Washington Post.

China defiantly showed disrespect for the Obama administration, facilitating Snowden’s departure from Hong Kong. “Russia may do the same. But it’s impossible to surpass Rafael Correa’s anti-American impudence, which is intended to give Soden political asylum. “With Snowden in the lead, Correa will be able to advance his most precious dream - he intends to become the main anti-American demagogue in the whole hemisphere instead of the late Chávez,” writes the publication.

But every cloud has a silver lining: the Snowden case will focus on the fact that Correa suppresses freedom of speech, and also builds herself from the enemy of the United States, at the same time profiting from trade preferences. After all, Ecuador exports many goods to the United States duty free. “By the way, in July the period of preferences expires if the US Congress does not extend their validity. If Correa welcomes Snowden hospitably, there is an easy way to demonstrate that trying to tease the Yankees must be paid for, ”the newspaper notes.

Obama prefers not to speak out about the situation with Snowden, because each threat will only finally confirm the powerlessness of the United States, according to columnist Uwe Schmitt in the German Die Welt.

"Hide and seek" of a former CIA and NSA programmer has become truly humiliating for the United States, the journalist said. Washington faces diplomatic implications of Hong Kong, Beijing, Moscow, not to mention Cuba and Ecuador, but no one “seems to be seriously bothered by the US threat”.

As for the Russian position, which consists in the fact that "Snowden didn’t commit any illegal actions on the territory of the Russian Federation on the territory of the airport", it is hardly possible to find fault legally. The transit zone at the airport is not Russian territory.

“It is unlikely that the Americans themselves would have used a different argument if there was any former employee of the Russian special services at the American airport who exposed a gigantic tracking program for the Russian special services,” the journalist said. - The Congress would immediately begin to put pressure on the White House so that it “would not kneel before Moscow”, and senators or deputies would immediately appear who saw the hero and freedom fighter in this Russian agent.

“In the meantime, Edward Snowden is leading the United States and applauding such US geostrategic competitors as Moscow and Beijing, these same politicians blame Obama for weakness,” the journalist said. And this, as American politician John King admitted, "is definitely a diplomatic defeat for Obama and the United States."

America came up with how Russia will give Snowden. The US authorities are convinced that Russia has a “clear legal basis” for expulsion from the country of Snowden. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Reuters.

As stated by the official representative of the US National Security Council Caitlin Hayden, relevant legal grounds are the lack of a valid passport at Snowden, as well as official accusations of disclosing secret information brought against him in the United States. Hayden said that the Russian authorities had been asked to "immediately" send Snowden out of the country.

Cut to earn. The USA Today journalists studied data from the government, insurance companies, and medical professional associations. It turned out that from 10% to 20% of surgical operations is done by doctors without sufficient reason - for the sake of earnings. Details - from the correspondent "Voices of Russia" Roman Mamonov.

US medical statistics has data that tens of thousands of unnecessary surgeries are performed in the country each year. Thousands of people are victims of fraud and incompetence of doctors. This problem is hidden from society.

History 34-year-old Jonathan Stelli is like that.

“The doctor told me that I need a pacemaker. I did not understand if I needed this. It seemed right to me to solve this problem while I was young. They made an angiogram, then they called and said that they need to have an operation. I was playing baseball at the time and I thought that I had to have an operation to continue playing. The cardiologist then said: "If you want to live to see 30, you have to do this operation."


Fraud opened by chance. The doctor is now in jail, Jonathan's pacemaker removed. He can forget about the athlete's career: he no longer passes under medical restrictions.

In the US, tens of thousands of such victims. In some areas, the number of unnecessary operations comes to 20%. We are talking about such serious interventions as surgery on the spine, knee joints, cesarean section and removal of the uterus.

New York lawyer George Gellis says that the root of evil lies in the principle of pay. Doctors receive money from insurance companies for each operation. Therefore, fraudsters in lab coats convince patients to agree to costly procedures unnecessary for them.

“The problem has really become serious in the last 3-4 of the year, mainly because of the ongoing health care reform in the United States,” says George Gellis. - And usually we are not talking about medical errors, but about fraud with insurance payments. In most cases, such unnecessary operations are harmless to the health of the patient. The reason is that doctors have the opportunity to issue additional bills to insurance companies. Basically we are talking about fraud with the programs "Medicaid" and "Medicare", that is, programs that are funded by the government. "

The damage from fraud is in the hundreds of millions. According to the audit of the pensioners' medical insurance program - “Medicare” - only in 2011 a year, approximately 10% of vertebral arthrodesis operations were carried out without sufficient grounds. And the budget paid for them 175 million dollars.

The state spends taxes on wine and porn. The US Tax Inspectorate (IRS) check again revealed abuses: employees were spending budget money on wine, plush toys, and porn. This was reported in the report of the Inspector General of the Ministry of Finance, writes correspondent RIA "News" Peter Martynychev.

With another check, the US Treasury found out how the IRS employees were spending money from business credit cards.

Once for lunch, officials bought 28 bottles of wine. In other cases, official business cards were used to buy plush animals, a device for the production of popcorn, pills, romantic novels, steaks, smartphones, children's games. Two business credit card holders spent on online pornography. They didn’t find anything better than to declare later that they had stolen the cards from them. One of the employees managed to “sow” as many as five credit cards.

RIA “Novosti” reminds that at the beginning of May 2013 of the IRS apologized for the fact that “by mistake” conducted intensive checks of organizations in 2012. Additional checks were made for organizations claiming the tax-free status of 75, the names of which included the words “Tea Party” or “Patriot”.

Last week, the management of the Tax Service appointed a new director for the tax exempt organization, Lois Lerner left this post. It is noted that she confessed to illegal tax audits of opposition organizations.

American trade will steer the billionaire. The US Senate approved Penny Pritzker as Minister of Commerce. 97 lawmakers were in favor of her candidacy, 1 was against, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Zlodorev.

Barack Obama thanked the senators for supporting Pritzker’s candidacy, calling her “a proven leader, a successful entrepreneur, and one of the most respected women in modern business.” According to the president, “she will be a key member of the economic team” in the administration.

Obama's longtime acquaintance 53-year-old P. Pritzker is considered one of the richest American women and the most affluent among all members of the current cabinet. Her condition - 1,85 billion.

Earlier, the Ministry of Trade led John Bryson. He resigned in June 2012 for health reasons. Minister’s duties were performed by his deputy, Rebecca Blank.

Pork innovations. Covering bullets using pork will discourage Islamic extremists from jihad, some Americans believe. About the new "invention" tells the channel "RT".

The cartridges manufactured by South Fork Industries were called “Jihawg Ammo” (from the words jihad and the distorted hog - boar).

The developers are convinced that the novelty will help eradicate the manifestations of aggression among Muslim radicals. The main pig of an advertising campaign is: "The world through pork." The firm considers bullets to be "a peaceful and natural deterrent to radical Islam."

Moreover, Americans believe that with such bullets you can not only kill a terrorist, but also send him to hell: after all, according to the Quran, they think that a Muslim who died during the "holy war" cannot go to heaven if his body it was defiled by pork.

Experts, however, doubt the effectiveness of innovative ammunition. Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Gonzaga University Shannon Dunn says that the Quran does not define punishment for those who accidentally come into contact with pork. Moreover, according to one of the versions, a Muslim is allowed to eat pork, if otherwise he faces hunger.

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, believes that the idea of ​​releasing such cartridges is a way to make money from Islamophobia.

Will we hear please help from Uncle Sam? Second of August. What is this black day? It turns out that the term before this day was appointed by the US Treasury. By the 2 number, Congress must decide on increasing the maximum amount of public debt. If members of Congress do not come to a common opinion by this date, the country's economy will shake, the portal writes Mixednews.ru with reference to faithbasedinvestor.com.

The expert of the non-profit organization Bipartisan Policy Center believes that in August the Treasury will be able to pay a little more than half of 80 million monthly liabilities to creditors. The head of the Treasury will have to make a decision about paying bills on a selective basis.

First of all, Geithner will close his obligations to buyers of government bonds in order to avoid technical default. After meeting the requirements of institutional investors, the Treasury will remain in front of the problem of multi-million liabilities to domestic creditors: social insurance payments, payments to employees of federal agencies.

S&P threatens to lower the US debt rating from the current AAA immediately to level D. This will happen if the maximum amount of government debt is not increased before the deadline set by the Treasury. Moody's can downgrade three levels to Aa.

"We are a great Russia, enough for us to be rude." Jill Doggerty's Blog CNN (translation source - Mixednews.ru) spoke about why the Russian president is the focus of news sources.

Here is the story of the allegedly assigned “Super Bowl” ring worth 25000 dollars, which belonged to Robert Kraft. Here and the announcement that Putin at odds with his wife after almost 30-year marriage. And then the “ice meeting” with Barack Obama at the G8 summit.

Where does ice come from and why is there no humor?

There are all reasons for this, the journalist notes: economic growth in Russia is slowing down, and Putin is climbing into the reserve fund. In addition, the "revolution of shale oil," said Doggerty, promises to reduce the needs of Europe for Russian energy resources. But about this - tsss - you can not talk to Putin. Director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and Eastern European Studies at Georgetown University Angela Stent notes:

“Putin focuses on criticism, almost ridiculing the West, which has really become worse. I think that the Russian leadership believes that the United States is in a state of decline, Europe is also in a state of decline, and in fact they do not need anything from us.

They would like to receive more investments, but they understand that in any case they will receive investments, because they correctly calculated that the enterprises of the United States and other countries are interested in Russia. ”


In the book The Limits of Partnership: American-Russian Relations in the Twenty-First Century, A. Stent explored complex relations with Putin's Russia. According to her, several years ago, the document of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which said: "We must have good relations with the West, if we want them to participate in the modernization of our economy, and if we want to extract economic benefits," became known. However, Stent says, “now they don’t think so. They think they can get investments no matter what they do. ”

Nevertheless, Stent notes, the Russian leadership seems to be “lacking realism” regarding the real state of the economy. “If they want to get away from an economy based on raw materials (although this is not obvious), they need Western know-how and technology. But I think the people who understand this, whom we would associate with former President Dmitry Medvedev and this camp, are not honored now. ”

The mockery of the United States, says the researcher, works well in Russia and at home. “Putin has the support of a certain part of the population, who positively perceives the declaration“ We are a great Russia, that's enough for us to be rude. ”

Andrew Weiss, an expert on Russia who worked for the National Security Council during the Clinton presidency, and now serves as vice president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, states that Putin is in isolation. “Russia has few international partners,” the analyst notes, “and Putin has no close personal connections and relationships. But this does not affect his views ... that the West is in decline, and that America is retreating. He is still sure of that. ”

"Potemkin village" on a global scale. In the article "Post-apocalyptic image of Russia" (Nowa Europa Wschodnia, Poland; source of translation - "InoSMI") Zemovit Shcherek declares that Russia enjoys not too good fame in the world, and therefore Moscow is going to change the order of things. How will she do it? Will create "another Potemkin village - this time on a global scale."

Here is the Russian landscape through the eyes of a western citizen:

“From the stereotypical western point of view, Russia is a country that is crumbling into parts. This is the land that survived the apocalypse, the Slavic version of the story from Mad Max (Mad Max), in which the desert was occupied by endless swamps dotted with rare birch trees and shabby concrete ruins. In this eternal twilight, drunken, powerless beggars wander around this land, who have to fight every day with other phenomena of Russian nature: oligarchs, unpunished policemen and their autocrat. Elite clung to minerals, and spends funds from their sale on the army or pockets it, while ordinary people live on leftovers from the master's table. ”


The journalist believes that this nightmarish image is tired of Russia, and she is going to correct it. The result of the “amendment” should be: a) spilling balsam on Russian souls; b) improving the country's performance in rating agencies; c) expansion of the scope of "soft power".

The scope of the “soft power” of Moscow today includes: Serbia, the Republika Srpska in Bosnia, Northern Kosovo, Greece, Cyprus, Eastern Ukraine, Belarus, and partly Central Asia with the Caucasus, the author notes. Well, plus a few more countries - “so remote and romantic-minded, that the memory of the Soviet Union is still alive there ...”

But the majority of Serbs puts not on Russia, but on Brussels, the journalist believes. Greece and Cyprus airings in Moscow are due to the fact that the EU has devastated their pockets. Eastern Ukraine and Belarus cherish the Russian-speaking cultural community, and for part of the Caucasus and Central Asia, Russia is a place where you can earn more than at home. About the distant "romance" the author does not see much point to talk.

Everywhere in the application of "soft power" Shcherek sees some failures.

“Balanced” image of Russia, issued by the channel “RT”, failed in 2008 year - “after the Russian invasion of Georgia, when the international and professional Russia Today team did not doubt for a moment who was bad in this conflict and who should be sprinkled flowers on the streets of liberated cities. The march of a positive image of Russia in the world ended before it began. ”

Putin instructed diplomats to improve the country's image abroad, but the customs officers on the Russian border are just as rude, arrogant, and meticulous "to idiocy," the author writes.

The police in Moscow continue to complicate the lives of businessmen, owning in full "the art of looking for the most amazing reasons for extorting bribes from their (often random) victims."

The country's infrastructure, the journalist notes, "breathes its last: its margin of safety comes to an end, as can be seen from the increasing number of construction, air, river and other disasters."

"State bodies pretend that they successfully cope with their constitutional role and work for the benefit of citizens, but in fact everything is the opposite: more and more it seems that the Russian state is acting against the interests of Russians."


Attempts to “improve the image of Russia” remind the author of the tactic of “advertising the white-painted grave tomb”.

“The Russians understand that a good image of the country contributes to the inflow of investments, but what is the use, for example, of a bridge in Vladivostok claiming to be the new wonder of the world, which cost a billion dollars if this building is absolutely absurd. It connects the city with the island, where about five thousand people live, who do not need the longest suspension bridge in the world, but, for example, asphalt to get to it, not to mention the plumbing or sewage ... ”


Moscow may be trying to improve its image, the author writes. But it does not have the “charm of Brazil, the energy of India or the reliability of China.” Therefore, sooner or later it will be reproached for the superficiality of change.

At the same time, the author forgets, let us add that the persistently imagined “drunk disfranchised beggars” persistently imagined by some, sadly wandering among swamps and stunted birches, is a very convenient stereotype. And the destruction of it means not only reporting the truth to ordinary people eating popcorn at televisions, but also weakening the already shaky image of the West.

        Interestingly, there are still naive people in the world who believe that the US will repay debts? winked
        US authorities are convinced that Russia has a “clear legal basis” for expelling Snowden from the country.

        Nenad to be mistaken. Fly away when he wants. Now Ecuador or Venezuela will issue his passport to him, and he can just fly where he wants, if it is official, but if not then right now he can fly to the country that granted asylum.

          Fly away - and they will kill him. And he will be lucky if they just kill him. They can do this (for advertising purposes, nothing personal), which is disgusting to say ... He accomplished his feat, achieved his goals. Now his task is not to defame the cause for which he left his dolce vita.
          No Ecuador or Iceland can defend his life and freedom for more than three days. The same Assange would have been on the neighboring bunk with Bout for a long time, if he had been in Ecuador and not in his embassy. But Snowden cannot openly apply for shelter to us either - a cry will instantly rise - he was a Russian spy from the very beginning! Here is the testimony of the midwife - the first word he said was "I serve the Soviet Union!"
          So he kind of stuck here by accident. And now he decides what is more dear to him - to stay clean or stay alive. And ours are looking for a solution - how to get more from it without getting dirty. Because "gutting and throwing away" is beneficial. But this is not the way to do it in Russian. Let the son of a lawyer yell what he wants, now being Russian is the only road to the future that is not flooded with shit ...

        Sheremetevsky captive: Snowden left the capsule and twice could not fly from Moscow


        Former American intelligence officer Edward Snowden, who is believed to be hiding somewhere in the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, has twice been unable to fly from the Russian capital to Cuba. Where exactly he is hiding from the ubiquitous journalists, one can only guess: he left the capsule hotel of the airport some time ago - at least that's what RIA Novosti was told in the hotel itself.

        “He stayed with us for several hours, but left a long time ago,” said the reception of the Air Express capsule hotel in Terminal E. According to a hotel employee, several journalists settled in the hotel almost simultaneously with Snowden, but they were unable to communicate with the guest. At the same time, an unnamed "source familiar with the situation" told RIA Novosti that Snowden still remains in the airport transit zone.

          The Ukrainians, who have purchased vacation vouchers to Turkey, are in no hurry to hand them over because of the riots there. The Observer was told about this in travel agencies.
          In particular, as assured in the travel agency "Nadezhda", from ten purchased tours, which should begin in the period from 5 to 10 June, no one has yet refused.
          The clients of the "Itour" travel agency did not refuse either.
          “We cannot tell you how many tours to Turkey have been sold, but I can assure you that we have not yet had any applications for canceling tours or postponing,” Itour told the Observer.

          Clients who purchased tours in the travel company "Gorizont. Group" have not yet addressed rejections either.
          "The next rounds are scheduled for June 20. But so far no one has refused to travel. And why. After all, these riots are far from the tourist cities," they say in "Horizon. Group".

          At the same time, according to the managers of "Horizon", even if clients ask for a refund, this is unlikely to happen, since the money for the tours has already been transferred to tourist operators. It is only possible if the riots really reach the tourist cities, they will postpone the date of travel, and then if customers ask.

          "When there were riots in Egypt and Greece, nobody canceled the tours. We think it will be so this time," the travel agency says.

      To illustrate the observed differences in perception, we use stereotypes here. Let us analyze the phrase: "A little blonde girl with a basket full of sweets entered the forest." A German or a Swiss, on reflection, will think: “Wait a minute, sweets in wrappers, as if she wouldn’t litter”, the Swede, on reflection, will think: “Should we notify social services that the child is unattended?” The Pole, rather, will begin to reflect, "How much more can the forest see from illegal dumps?" Southerners will think: "She has lovely blonde hair." The Englishman will probably phlegmatically decide that "do not hang around the forest if it can rain." What will the Russian think? We don’t even know this stereotypically, will he think, “where did she get the money for sweets from?” Or “maybe she has grenades under the sweets?”, “Maybe this is a spy ??”.

In the evening, it turned out that they fell apart into 2 equal parts with a complete loss of powder (or whatever, I don’t know). grieved (I did not participate in this). And suddenly this Pole is walking along the corridor !!

          Good evening Karlsson! In 79 (?), It seems that there was a decent scandal in America: a patient visiting one specialist went to another (he was sent there by the first). Everything would be fine if the patient did not know Latin. He became interested in the direction, began to read and ... to his surprise he read: "I took everything mine. Now it's your turn." the patient sued the doctors and won the case. Got tons of money !.

            Unfortunately, in a capitalist society, medicine is primarily a COMMERCIAL area, and only then come the ideas of human rights and any other humanism.

      Will we hear “please help” from Uncle Sam? Second of August. What is this rainy day? It turns out that up to this day the US Treasury has appointed. By the 2nd day, Congress must decide to increase the maximum amount of public debt. If members of Congress do not come to a consensus by this time, the country's economy will be shaken, the Mixednews.ru portal writes with reference to faithbasedinvestor.com.

      The expert of the non-profit organization Bipartisan Policy Center believes that in August the Treasury will be able to pay a little more than half of 80 million monthly liabilities to creditors. The head of the Treasury will have to make a decision about paying bills on a selective basis.

      First of all, Geithner will close his obligations to buyers of government bonds in order to avoid technical default. After meeting the requirements of institutional investors, the Treasury will remain in front of the problem of multi-million liabilities to domestic creditors: social insurance payments, payments to employees of federal agencies.

      S&P threatens to lower the US debt rating from the current AAA immediately to level D. This will happen if the maximum amount of government debt is not increased before the deadline set by the Treasury. Moody's can downgrade three levels to Aa.


      But I am amazed by the position and logic (more precisely, its complete absence) of all these Moodies and other "rating makers". Based on their statements, at the moment everything is fine in the pin..dosii, the ratings are the highest, the reliability to heaven. But after August 2, everything will collapse like that, for no reason. But if Congress decides to increase the maximum size of the national debt, then everything will still be fine. It is not clear then why the Yankees will not immediately set the size of the national debt to an unlimited amount. All problems will be solved, ratings will always be at their best. True, at one fine moment all creditors can drive up and specifically show ... receipts for payment. Well, these are little things, the main thing is the rating is oh ... good.
      Verily, the West has turned into a madhouse.

      The whole world knows that all the “Arab springs” were to some extent organized and funded by the Saudis and Qatar regimes. Including the bandits in Syria are arming and using the money of these regimes.
      The whole world knows that as a result of these events, a large-scale and open genocide of Christians, Shiites and other groups of the local population was and is being carried out in a number of Arab countries.
      Hence, I have a question: WHY DON'T OUR MFA DONENT ACCUSED THE BLOODY SAUDI ARABIA AT THE UN ORGANIZATION AND FINANCING OF THE GENOCIDE OF THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA, LIBYA AND OTHER COUNTRIES And did not achieve condemnation of these regimes?

      Arnevet (ארנבת) - hare. A wild, undomesticated animal. Unlike rabbits, it usually does not dig holes, but builds something like nests or rookeries on the surface of the ground. Lives alone or in pairs. Baby hares are born sighted and with fur, and almost immediately after birth they begin to move independently. The mother hare stays with them for only 5-6 days.

If they use these bullets against Muslims, and this is what they were created for, then these bullets may backfire on them in such a way that artificial jihad will seem to them like a children's fairy tale. This is the limit that cannot be crossed because the resonance will be catastrophic. will only escalate the hatred.

      Belarusian businessmen against the Customs Union.
      Business representatives propose “to accredit testing laboratories and centers in importing countries so that manufacturers of imported products independently certify them on site and equip them with a sign of compliance with the requirements of technical regulations”. They also advocate that retail entrepreneurs should be exempted from product certification.

      It's strange that this hasn't been done yet.
      Snowden lives in Sheremetyevo.The former American intelligence officer is still at Sheremetyevo Airport. Vladimir Putin revealed Snowden’s whereabouts at a press conference during a visit to Finland, Interfax writes.

      I wouldn’t mind if Snowden disappeared from Sheremetyevo, and at that time a person appeared in some Russian town who looked like him, but under a different name :)

      For a hundred years I have been smearing the bullets on my cartridges with lard. It’s more reliable that they will not end up where the “ticket was purchased”, but in Yuzhnoye Butovo!!!!

      The question is not that they won't get there.
      And the point is to know that they won’t get caught.

      there is nothing to hand over there - a couple of people were taken out - the naval base is therefore mothballed for now winked

      By the way, you shouldn’t laugh about the pork bullets. In Israel, they actually hung pieces of lard on buses, when at one time it was popular among the jihad fauna there to run into vehicles and explode. They stopped running right away. They really are terribly dark: if a person is ready to kill women and children for the sake of his faith, then if it is written in his book that pork is haram, then he will be more afraid of it than fire. So great idea. Although it’s even better to bomb them with pork entrails.

      Second of August. What is this another rainy day? It turns out that the US Treasury set a deadline until this day. By the 2nd, Congress must decide to increase the maximum size of the national debt. If members of Congress do not reach a consensus by this time, the country's economy will shake

      I’ll be happy to raise a glass of vodka so that the US economy shakes in its death throes, and I’ll drink a lot for that, their rainy day will not cancel the holiday we all know drinks

      After liquidation, Islamic terrorists are buried in special landfills, filling their remains with pork waste from meat processing plants. One bucket for each terrorist is enough.
      And all bandits should know about this fact of such a burial! Leaflets with similar messages should be distributed throughout the Caucasus, throughout the country. Mullahs should tell people about this method of burying enemies.
      Every suicide bomber should know that he is not earning heaven for himself - pork will get in the way.
      Let's put the pig under Islamic terrorism!
      And this should be adopted legislatively by the State Duma in Russia!
