Results of the week. “Now you are our new master!”
One of the most vigorously debated legislative initiatives of recent times was the initiative to amnesty persons convicted of certain economic crimes, as well as individuals who are under investigation. The initial version of the draft law was proposed by a working group headed by the Commissioner for Entrepreneurship Mr. Titov (the position in Russia was established in 2012). Titov's version was as follows: to amnesty persons convicted (suspected of committing crimes) under articles 159 (Art. “Fraud”), 160 (Art. “Assignment or embezzlement”), 165 (Art. “Causing property damage through fraud or abuse trust "). In the same version, about four dozen points of various articles related in one way or another to economic crimes were listed.
With his draft law, the ombudsman went first to President Putin, who, it must be supposed, carefully studied the proposal. And after studying, he made a counter offer: to hold an amnesty, but to narrow the scope of its extension to the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation approximately by half. The President, speaking at a meeting of the so-called Stolypin Club and the Liberal Platform of the United Russia party, said that an economic amnesty for Russia really expects, but only an amnesty for people sent to serve a sentence for fraud or misappropriation of public funds, to put it mildly, it is not advisable. In the version of the draft law that was sent for discussion to the State Duma, there is neither an article of 159, nor 160, nor 165.
Surprise! It turns out that if the state sets free or refuses to prosecute all sorts of crooks and rogues who at one time managed to warm their hands on budget funds or other people's savings, this will revive the Russian financial system. Here is how ?! Well, then, we have such a financial system, if it is bent without embezzlers, and if they exist, it flourishes in exuberant color? Such an economy should definitely be treated, and immediately.
Amnesty of economic criminals, clearly hints: steal further, gentlemen are good, and then without your theft in our economy regress, you understand, it comes - we literally do not know how to develop without you ...

Lida, meet!
Russia for the first time creates its own in Belarus aviation base: it will be located in the city of Lida near the border with Poland and Lithuania and will begin to function this year.
“The creation of a Russian air base in Belarus is the result of the implementation of an intergovernmental agreement on strengthening the military component of the Union State. As a member of the Union State, Russia is obliged to form and have its air base there,” the commander-in-chief of the Air Force told reporters.
Expansion for those who are in the integration of Russia and Belarus (both economic and defense) sees the "imperial ambitions of Moscow" ... Well, the "well-wishers" were enough at all times, and if you pay attention to each of them, forgetting about the real benefits of rapprochement two states, then on this, as they say, you will not go far. And then, as another American military base somewhere in Qatar or Bahrain, you understand, the spread of democracy, but as the Russian air base in neighboring Belarus, with which, by the way, we are building the Union State, this is: “guard!”
In general, anyone who feels a sense of discomfort from locating the Russian base in the Belarusian Lida can be advised to take a sedative, and immediately release him to the horizontal mode! Doctors guarantee. The main thing is not to read opposition newspapers at night ...

Prime leaves?
Sensational information the other day came from Georgia. More precisely, it came from Estonia, but directly concerns the state of affairs in the Georgian government. The fact is that in his interview to one of the Estonian publications, Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili stated that he was going to leave his post in October of this year. He links his forthcoming resignation from the post of the actual (constitutional) head of Georgia Ivanishvili with the final completion of the term of office of the current President of the country, Mikhail Saakashvili. In fact, the term of Saakashvili’s presidency has already expired, but it is in October that the country is expected to have another presidential election, after which Saakashvili must retire.
After such a statement by the Georgian prime minister, some claim that Bidzina is a pragmatist, others that Bidzina is a coward. A pragmatist, because he doesn’t see ways to solve the territorial problem and doesn’t want to incur the wrath of either Russia, or the West, or Georgian citizens because of this, and the coward is for exactly the same reasons ...
Whatever it was, but his “friend” (Mr. Saakashvili) got a chance to take advantage of the statements of a political opponent and announce that the prime minister is ready to leave the country on an important historical step with unresolved problems. What-what, and the anti-PR in relation to its competitors at the “genatsvale” always went like clockwork ...
A sort of "I'm tired, I'm leaving" in Georgian ...

Rehabilitate Nazism in front of the chamber cockroaches ...
Deputy Irina Yarovaya proposed a new version of the bill, which, admittedly, has been discussed for more than one year. The first version of this bill was proposed back in 2009, by Boris Gryzlov and Irina Yarovaya herself, who, as the author, decided to introduce certain changes. One of the main additions to the bill can be words about imposing sanctions for denying the sentence handed down by the International Military Tribunal, as well as denying the activities of the armies of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition to maintain international peace and security during World War II.
In addition, the courts will consider the cases of those who disseminated false information about the activities of the anti-Hitler coalition during the Second World War.
In this regard, it is proposed to supplement the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with a new article entitled “Rehabilitation of Nazism”.
If this bill passes through the State Duma, then many gentlemen who allow themselves frivolous historical interpretations will express themselves more prudently. After all, no one (if we are not talking about political and semi-political masochists) obviously will not want to spend 3-5 years of their life in jail.
The liberal public is indignant. Shouts: what is this, you know, such - do not even give enough of the Great Patriotic War in the pages of the press! But this is the most historical lie for megaliberal circles like morning teeth cleaning - I didn’t lie, it means that all day I feel uncomfortable feeling that you don’t make it to a true liberal ...
After this, apparently, even the guru of interpreting historical events and the role of certain organizations in the life of the country, Leonid Gozman began to scratch his head, quietly whispering the words “Springtime - to the fire!”

The Russian Defense Ministry denied reports of the withdrawal of personnel from the base in Tartus
The Ministry of Defense of Russia calls the reports of the withdrawal of Russian personnel of the logistics support center of the Russian Navy from the Syrian port of Tartus, which do not correspond to reality.
"The reports on the withdrawal of the Russian personnel of the PTTO from the Syrian port of Tartus, which were widespread in a number of media outlets, do not correspond to reality," the press service and information department of the Russian Defense Ministry said.
This news - for those gentlemen who have already managed to make a tantrum in the style of "Putin threw Syrians and Assad." Apparently, these gentlemen forget that today the Syrian opposition keeps on about two-thirds of the misinformation misses.
And if from somewhere from the camp of "advanced democrats" came the information that Russia is bringing troops into Syria to help the "opposition" to remove Assad from the presidency, would they also believe it? There would be a lot. Whether naive natural, or wishful thinking ...

The number of those who are ready to fight for the Motherland is growing
On the eve of the Day of Memory and Grief Levada Center conducted a nationwide survey. According to its results, more than half of the respondents (52%) are sure that the main merit in victory in the Great Patriotic War belongs to the Soviet people, 6% of respondents assign this role to Joseph Stalin, 5% to the Communist Party and the USSR leadership in general. Every third (33%) believes that victory in the Patriotic War was ensured all together. Meanwhile, if now, as in 1941, the war began, half of the respondents declared their readiness to defend the Motherland: 29% of respondents would go to the front by conscription, 20% volunteer.
At present, half of those who are ready to defend their homeland from foreign aggression is an impressive figure. I wonder what others are going to do at this moment. Well, it is well known that ... Some will be ready to take the side of the enemy, justifying themselves by the fact that it is he who brings real freedom and democracy to the country, others will try to just make legs, others still believe that you can buy off any aggression by proving weak eyesight and the inability to distinguish "alien" from "their" ...

Battle of Khoper. 2013 year
Calm in the Voronezh region was disturbed after the authorities gave permission to conduct surveys related to the extraction of nickel and other ores at the Yelansky and Yelkinsky deposits - on the territory of the most fertile chernozem in the immediate vicinity of the Khopyorsky Nature Reserve. For almost a year and a half, local residents oppose the barbaric developments, which will lead not only to the shallowing of Khopra and the death of various animal and plant species, but also to the transformation of fertile land into an ecological cloaca.
A few days ago, a direct clash took place at the deposit between representatives of the company that obtained the right to research and the Voronezh protesters. Around 1,5, thousands of people decided to hold a rally at the development site, at which geologists had already begun to work. The rally was held peacefully as long as several masked men did not decide to break the barricades. A crowd of protesters poured into the development area, and people hiding their faces set fire to drilling rigs, turned over several cars and started banging the local police, who, it must be admitted, up to this point (prior to the arson of the towers and open attack) how they themselves oppose the transformation of Khoper from the cleanest large river of Europe into a poisoned swamp.
A year and a half concerning the peaceful confrontation of the population of the region (authorized meetings, letters to the president, meetings with the governor, publications of scientists) with the UMMC company, which is going to mine nickel and associated metals in reserved places, did not lead to results. The miners continued to bend their line, the authorities were silent, the fertile lands of Prikhoper'ye were preparing for an environmental catastrophe ... Someone even had time to speak out in the spirit: they say, what other fertile lands, if there is one bush with weeds and growing on them - emptiness is all around . Apparently, the term “natural reserve” for such people is an empty sound, and information about the Black Earth region is reduced to contemplating a picture with burning rigs in an open field ...
And now - the first serious consequences of this silence: there were those who decided to collect political bonuses on the problems of the people, and then - already burst.
Naturally, the reactionaries from among those who followed the “black masks” will now be accused of all mortal sins: from corruption of the State Department to cooperation with MI6, but blaming those hotheads who are not familiar with the real situation at all. Not familiar, but aware ...
By the way, and if the news: under the Government building they found a gold mine ... UMMC, where are you?

Comrade Putin - he is so alone
The day came when something was understood in the West. Even those who have never considered themselves a big fan of Russia and even more so its president have understood this. The realization that Western leaders, if they were to be put next to Comrade Putin, looks like political “wimps,” overwhelmed a certain part of the globe. Scottish journalist Gerald Warner speaks openly about the growing contempt for the "Euro-American" political class, its "uselessness" and the "parliamentary pseudo-democracy" model that has "discredited" itself.
In the article "New Perception of Putin" (Scotsman.com) Comrade Warner quotes a couple of quotes from the Internet:
The journalist notes that the feelings expressed in these phrases are more and more often found on the expanses of the English-speaking Internet. What do their authors want to say? They thus mark a surge of discontent with the leadership and institutions of Europe and North America and at the same time demonstrate respect for the strong president of Russia.
The latest public sentiment is gaining momentum in the network - where people used to share their thoughts about what they really want to scold. The enthusiasm for Putin is built on the contrast between him and the "politically correct weaklings" from the European Union and the United States. This contrast can be seen even in photos from the G8 summit.
According to Comrade Warner, the “wimp” of the West contrasts with Russia with the insanity of liberalism, cultural masochism, the extinction of the indigenous population, an aversion to family life and the adoption of hedonism instead of personal responsibility. Russia, on the other hand, seems to be the author of a courageous nation. It is governed by a strong political will, defending national interests.

The fate of Syria decided in Qatar
22 June in Doha, a regular meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the States Parties of the “Group of Friends of Syria”. Who is tightly friends with Syria and zealously cares about its people, has long been known. Gentlemen from the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates gathered in Qatar. The main topic of the meeting, which no one particularly concealed, was the arming of the so-called Syrian “opposition”. Equip with appliances and weapons “Oppositionists” the West and the monarchies of the Gulf want in an emergency order, so that, according to John Kerry from America, to eliminate the “imbalance of forces”. At the same time Kerry made a reservation, noting that the United States is in favor of peace.
Natalia Kovalenko told about the decision of the “Group of Friends of Syria” ("Voice of Russia").
According to the participants of the Group, to restore the balance of power in Syria, the rebels need to provide "everything you need". Nine out of eleven forum participants supported the decision to provide military assistance to the Syrian opposition. Who abstained does not say.
The ministers of the “friendly” countries to Syria agreed to ship the “necessary materials and equipment” to the country so that the opposition could then “resist the brutal attacks of the Bashar al-Assad regime and protect civilians”.
Each state will independently determine how (that is, what technique, what materials and what kind of weapon) to support the rebels. And so that participants do not misinterpret this independence in decisions, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Tani, said in Doha that moral support alone would not be enough.
According to the "Friends", said analyst Sergei Strokan (Kommersant), the Syrian settlement should look like this: at the first stage, we need to achieve a radical change in the military confrontation in favor of the opposition, and then hold a Geneva-2 conference. In this case, the conditions at the conference would be dictated by the opposition; Geneva-2 would have come down to discussing the terms of the surrender of the regime. In the adopted final communique of Friends, it is emphasized that “Bashar Assad will not play any role” in the transitional body.
Radio Liberty cites a statement by Al-Thani that the supply of arms to the Syrian opposition is perhaps the only way to achieve peace in Syria.
And US Secretary of State John Kerry said that this is necessary in order to put an end to the imbalance of forces in Syria. According to him, Washington, as before, supports a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Syria, as well as an international conference in Geneva.
It should be noted, the statement is very characteristic. And frank. Kerry, like his predecessor H. Clinton, cannot hide his thoughts at all. Moreover, he does not consider it necessary. What is a world without a weapon? As soon as a “balance” is established between the troops of Assad and the gangs of terrorists led by the branches originated in 1980's. Al-Qaeda CIA, so immediately and we will convene a conference. And build in Syria a world like the Libyan. Or Iraqi. Or Yugoslav. Examples of blood clots on the globe are abundant. From the unyielding Assad, a lover of imbalance, everyone is already tired.
It is characteristic and more. The United States and Europe participated in the meeting of the "Friends" along with Qatar and Saudi Arabia - states where democracy is not what to say, but rather not to think. In Qatar, for example, the topic of losing weight is much more popular in kitchens than the formation of a parliamentary republic. And these states want to take care of what the US considers a struggle for democracy? However, what can we say, if the main lever of the upcoming democratization of Syria is “Dzhebhat an-Nusra” and similar cells of Al-Qaeda. Probably, the fighters of these movements say “democracy” as an American synonym for “sharia” ...

"For our wives and lovers"
The command of the British Royal Navy has banned some traditional toasts that sailors utter daily at dinner, reports RIA News" with reference to the "Daily Mail".
The maritime tradition of pronouncing a certain toast every night has been around in the UK for over 200 years. The decision of the Royal Navy is due to the fact that over the past 20 years in navy the number of women soldiers has increased. New toasts are also called to “reflect cultural change.”
For example, the toast “For our wives and lovers” (after which the phrase “and may they never meet” usually sounded) was banned and replaced with “For our families”. Toast "For our men" has changed to "For our sailors."

America in search of Snowden
In recent days, a lot of new information about Snowden has appeared in the press, both Russian and Western. Reporters suggest that Snowden will either live permanently in Moscow, or that he is about to fly away on a tricky route to Ecuador. There are more vague versions. One thing is clear to all: the people from WikiLeaks, who organized the flight of their ward and then disappeared, are high-class professionals. Not like American special agents who can only play tricks somewhere in sunny Columbia.
Spencer Ackerman, Dan Roberts (Washington), Miriam Elder (Moscow) and Tanya Branigan (Hong Kong) write in The GuardianJay Carney said in Washington on Monday that the United States would not “surrender” if Snowden left Russia, and said that not only pressure was put on Ecuador, but contacts were being made through diplomatic channels with those countries that could serve as the end point or transit stop fugitive.
At a conference at the press center of the White House, British journalists say, the US administration rejected Snowden's comparison with previous “political dissidents”, which was made by one Russian journalist. “There is a big difference,” said Carney. “Snowden was charged with a criminal offense.” The Russian journalist who was trying to ask an additional question was immediately hooked up by another reporter.
It remains to add that, trying to get the elusive Snowden, the White House is not nervous because of the “criminal case” or insubordination of Moscow and China, but it is experiencing another blow struck by ex-CIA officer Snowden with great accuracy on a fairly tarnished democratic reputation. .
American mentors from the Department of State, who for decades have been teaching the "standards" of everyone and everything on the world stage, are about to lose the last vestiges of authority. The only thing that holds onto the precarious reputation of figures like Kerry or Obama is the propaganda in the spirit of the “cold war”, whose simple constructions have been hammered into the heads of the world community since the end of the Second World War. But even against it, a "trump card" was found - the declassification of the dark secrets of "democracy", showing where the true Empire of Evil is and what it is.

All these games in how to bring a legal base for issuance - "from the evil one." Russia needs to clearly stand on the position: we are a democratic country, we stand on the principles of humanity and we will not give an honest citizen for reprisals. The USA is a totalitarian state, it monitors honest citizens of its country and officials in other countries of the world !!! Let them be justified, and then accustomed to blaming others.

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.
And 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.
We must add on our own, he lost them all in one place.

Pork novations
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.

Deadly weapon
Michael Remke («Die Welt»; source of translation - "Inopressa") talked about the American soldier who killed the 2746 man.
Dillard Johnson - the most productive fighter of the American army, writes "Die Welt". A 48-year-old war veteran in a memoir claims that he killed an enemy soldier during an Iraqi war.
Most, according to the commander of the Carnivorous Special Forces, he destroyed from small arms, the rest were killed in hand-to-hand combat with a knife and bare hands.
Where does such accuracy come from? A soldier is obliged to her by one commander who ordered him to “make a list in which each dead person would be marked with a line.”
In the book of memoirs, the author, among other things, tells how he restrained the attack “44 Iraqi tanks and 20 thousand soldiers. "
From the heroic military service of an officer in retirement - 37 awards for bravery, and also - a bullet, entrenched in his leg after being seriously wounded.
