A new suspect has appeared in the Oboronservis case
A new suspect appeared in the Oboronservis case; he was the former deputy director of Oboronstroi, Yuri Grehnev, who had previously been a witness in the case.
During the interrogation, Grekhnev admitted that he had been involved in the sale of the buildings of the 31 State Special Design Institute (31 GISS). The episode of selling 31 GPISS is one of the central ones in the Oboronservis case: the buildings were sold at low prices, as a result of which the damage amounted to about 500 thousand rubles.
500 of thousands is certainly an obvious puncture for the Oboronservis case. Neither a normal brumen, nor a picture by Aivazovsky can be bought. And in general, it is interesting how much the buildings of this 31 GSPIS cost, if they were sold at a loss of as much as X thousand rubles in 500 ... For the price of the secondary housing in the quarter for demolition, perhaps ...
How exactly did the suspect become in this case Mr. Grehnev? It is not reported, nor is it reported whether it was a personal sin of Grehnev, or whether it was acting under the tune of more serious gentlemen.
By the way, about the serious gentlemen. During the week, investigators uncovered the “stop” hundred scam of such persons as Anatoly Serdyukov and Yevgeny Vasilyev. This time it turned out that the ex-Minister of Defense at the time when he was still directly the Minister of Defense, sold to private owners half of the tank farm near Bryansk. More precisely, the order concocted Serdyukov, and was already selling “General Zhenya”. The damage from this kind of sales is about 725 million rubles. 725 of millions is no longer 500 of thousands, of course, but in comparison with the total volumes of revealed sins - also the sum of “average”. A couple of pictures of Aivazovsky and a bag of diamonds, of course, will suffice, but no more ... To paraphrase a well-known quotation from the film of George Danelia, one can say: and when they only had time to dive into the fountains and trade in the Bryansk forest, and steer the defense ...

Who flew past the "Combat Commonwealth-2013"?
The first phase of the joint exercises of the United Air Defense System of the CIS "Combat Commonwealth-2013" has begun, said on Wednesday Colonel Alexei Zolotukhin, a spokesman for the Office of the Press Service and Information on the Aerospace Defense Forces.
On the first day of the exercise, about 20 military units of the armed forces of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States were brought to the highest levels of combat readiness.
Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are taking part in the exercises. The maneuvers involved more than 500 military personnel and more than 100 units of combat and special equipment of the EKR Troops, including C-400 Triumph, C-300 Favorit, Pantyr-S anti-aircraft missile systems.
The composition of the ongoing exercises can immediately make a conclusion about which of the CIS member countries continue to harbor certain hopes that the NATO countries will ever attract them to their teachings, and they will show their full combat power there ... It is somewhat strange that military personnel from Armenia, which is included not only in the CIS, but also in the CSTO, do not take part in the exercises. Is it really a demarche about the recent visit of Vladimir Putin to Baku? Oh, they say so! - if you went to Baku, then our feet will not be on the “Combat Commonwealth-2013”.

"Come to me in Baku ..."
Today is one of the most talked about News in the Commonwealth space is a fleeting visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Azerbaijan and negotiations with Ilham Aliyev. Against the background of the words that the presidents were gathering in order to discuss economic and humanitarian cooperation, a conspiracy theories regarding the presence of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in the Russian delegation, and generally why Putin went to Baku right now, surfaced.
From this visit, a number of Russian and foreign media managed to concoct a whole conspiracy sensation. Ideas, like pictures in a kaleidoscope, replaced and complemented each other with amazing speed. From the fact that Aliyev decided to buy support from Putin, allowing him to sign contracts for joint oil production, to the point that Putin decided to take with Aliyev a subscription that he is not going to merge the Azerbaijani and Turkish armies. There was also conspiracy in the style: “Putin turned away from Yerevan,” “Putin wants to donate Nagorno-Karabakh to Baku.” There was, perhaps, only “Putin on the maternal side, perhaps an Azerbaijani” ...

Huge such secret
In the heroic city of Moscow in Bolshoy Devyatinsky Lane, representatives of the National Security Agency at one time installed one of the 150 XKeyscore servers designed for cyber espionage. Other 149 similar electronic devices are located in other cities of the world, including Beijing, Kiev, Berlin, etc. About this world public told the protagonist of the last time, Edward Snowden. The server was supposed to accumulate information relating to the correspondence of Russian officials, and this information should have been analyzed by representatives of the NSA.
And Snowden opened our eyes to the true purpose of the American Embassy in Moscow. And before that, we all thought that they were doing there in their embassy: orchids are grown or with colored pencils are drawing posters "Peace to the World!" ... Now, apparently, we should expect Ambassador McFaul to take out this very server and send it to the receiving point tsvetmeta with the words "And Schaub you, Snowden, lived on one salary!"

Ukrainian hook
Ukrainian boxer, the leader of the UDAR party, Vitali Klitschko, during a meeting with the President of the World Boxing Council, José Suleiman, announced that he was going to take part in the Ukrainian presidential race in 2015.
True, the press service of the UDAR party, as ITAR-TASS reported, “declined to comment on this message by proposing to send a written request to the party’s press service.”
Well, what, in fact ... Putin is a judoka, Lukashenko is a hockey player, and who is Yanukovych? .. No, Ukraine definitely needs to think about this. Well, at least Vitaly Klitschko understands what needs to be done so that the success of the head of state is guaranteed. Apparently, Vitaly Vladimirovich is witnessing a recent bright example with Dmitry Anatolyevich. These are the ratings that he had when he took up the badminton racket ... And then you don’t need to take anything extra: hryas from the left, hryas from the right - the rating is guaranteed. And so those who "hryas" - will be found quickly.

Attention, orderlies! Saakashvili says!
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili argues that at one time he offered Russia that Tbilisi abandon the policy of joining NATO in exchange for solving problems with South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
"We said that we are ready to abandon NATO and abandon progressive relations with the United States on the basis of an agreement if you (the Russian Federation), in turn, will help in the progress of territorial issues also on the basis of an agreement," Saakashvili said on the TV channel Rustavi 2 "on Wednesday in an interview on the fifth anniversary of the August war.
At the same time, the Georgian president said that at the height of the 2008 conflict, the Americans offered to evacuate him from the country.
Oh, this mister Saakashvili ... He manages to declare diametrically opposed things and at the same time does not even blush. He says that to negotiate with "occupant" Russia is generally a terrible betrayal for Georgia, then suddenly he himself asserts that he did not just speak with Russia, but also put forward proposals. He then declares that the conflict in South Ossetia was provoked by Moscow, then suddenly appears on Georgian TV and is frank in style: the entry of Georgian troops in Tskhinvali was supported by Washington.
Apparently, he feels the approach of the presidential election, which is why his verbal incontinence manifests itself. A sort of toy president-talker. Now on the Georgian shelves ...

Persons involved in the desecration of a military memorial in Rzhev convicted
The Rzhev city court on Friday sentenced 21-year-old Nikolai Sergeev, 19-year-old Mikhail Berlizov and 18-year-old Nikita Kazaritsky, who were accused of desecrating a memorial to Soviet soldiers in Rzhev. Sergeyev was sentenced to one year of imprisonment in a penal colony, Berlizova and Kazaritsky were sentenced to restriction of liberty on 1,5 each year.
As established by the court and the investigation, four young people, parkour lovers, one of whom did not reach the age of criminal responsibility at that time, used the Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of Rzhev from the Nazi invaders to jump with elements of the acrobatics of the Obelisk plate.
Interestingly, why did these gentlemen of the color of conscription age, who ran in their underwear obelisks and danced on the Eternal Flame, were engaged, God forgive me, parkour, and not drill or combat training in one of the military units of the Armed Forces? Perhaps, the investigation should have been digging more in this direction, and for the young people to be tried for evasion from service, add “a little more time” to think about their actions, and for other “Komsomol members-parkurovtsy” the lesson would be a serious one ... after all, how it turns out: if you need to go to the army, then many representatives of modern youth, then squint, then flat foot of the last stage, then God knows what, and how to run around the monuments in shorts in winter, everything turns out to be unexpectedly improved. Of course, one cannot exclude the fact that they are students of Russian universities, and therefore they had a legal reprieve. Well, then it remains to say only: what is the university, are the students ...

Angry holidaymaker B.H. Obama
The American president publicly showed his lack of balance: he threw out frustration and resentment at the foreign policy level. Last week, he refused to meet with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and then completely announced a “pause” in relations between the United States and Russia. Analysts are puzzled: not that Obama is nervous because of Snowden, a new resident of Moscow, is not worried about the "blue" oppressed in Russia, or the owner of the Oval Office was offended because of the democratic failure in Syria, which the Kremlin continues to support. On "Military Review" The hypothesis was put forward that Obama annoyed himself - on his own foreign and domestic political setbacks.
The reason for the cancellation of the Moscow talks were, as reported, not only the contradictions that arose between Russia and the United States because of Snowden. The White House complained about the tough stance of the Russian authorities on other issues, including the deployment of the US missile defense system, notes "Lenta.ru"referring to the Associated Press.
In Washington, they explained that Obama would come to Russia for the G20 summit, but he would not meet face to face with Putin. Instead of meeting with him, the American president will visit ... Stockholm. (By the way, the Swedes are already joking on this topic - they say Obama will give the government valuable advice on how to save Sweden from the bombing of Stockholm by the Russians).
Then the next episode went on the air. The US president said that he intended to take a "pause" in relations with Russia, without specifying what he had in mind.
Maybe he decided to take a break from the recalcitrant Russians. Maybe he just blurted out something wrong before going on vacation. Maybe he called the vacation "pause" - they say, while Obama is not, there is no geopolitics. Maybe Obama was completely misunderstood or even incorrectly translated, what happens.
However, they understood and translated Obama correctly. Since he said not only about the pause, but also about something else, he thereby made it clear to the Kremlin how great his annoyance and resentment was. It is even possible that he took leave to calm down.
The key moments of Obama's statement are as follows: 1) praising Medvedev in defiance of Putin (under Medvedev, they say, the relations between the United States and Russia have made great progress); 2) mention of anti-American rhetoric, returned to the Kremlin after the presidential election in the Russian Federation 2012; 3) Putin’s comparison with a “tired schoolboy”; 4) Recognizing that differences between the United States and Russia will persist.
Well, everyone understands: the ideal Russian politician for Washington is someone like Gorbachev. Yeltsin, as an unwitting follower of the ideas of Mikhail Sergeyevich, also fully corresponds to the spirit of “partnership” that the State Department preaches. When Russia is governed by such “leaders,” Russia is on the right track from the point of view of the White House: stumbling to the grave.
When Moscow gives shelter to a fighter with total American wiretapping Snowden, this seeker of truth and a staunch opponent of “Big Brother” (who knows “Brother” from the inside), this means that Russians, according to Obama, “roll back to the thinking and mentality of the Cold War ". This statement is not even a double standard; it is something of the inverted logic of the Bolshevik Pyatakov.
This twisted logic, when black is recognized as white because the party orders (or rather, it is not just recognized, but is recognized as true), and is fully inherent in the American administration.
Blaming the Russians for falling for the Cold War, Obama is doing precisely that which is spinning a new round of this very war. Bringing “peregruzka” instead of “reset” on the symbolic button, Obama seems to have really experienced a real overload. In the end, as you call a yacht, so it will float.

Voice of the CIA
Encouraging oppositionists in Syria — the very fighters for democracy and human rights that no-no and even appear under the green banner — the United States supplies them not only with “non-lethal equipment,” communications equipment, but, as is known, with weapons. All this is planned and done under the emblem of the CIA. More than once in the media there were reports that with the US weapons fighters from Dzhebhat an-Nusra and other branches of al-Qaida are fighting in their hands. No matter how the West and the Saudis strive to arm the "true democrats," for some reason, machine guns and rifles turn out to be bearded men. Some of these bearded men, prone to radical Islam, have arrived in Syrian cities from EU countries. With the defeat of the Islamist forces or at the end of the jihad holidays, they will return to their Stockholm, Brussels and London and will be engaged in the introduction of the basics of Sharia in the "homeland". That is why not so long ago, British Prime Minister Cameron refused to arm the "oppositionists" in Syria, noting that there are supposedly many different kinds of warfare. As for the United States, al-Qaeda has long promised to attack Washington - as soon as it establishes power in Damascus. But the United States, as you know, ignition later. And yet the other day, suddenly, “More clearly saw the light” of Mr. Morell - the former first deputy director of the CIA, who resigned and received it on August 9.
This man, who worked at the CIA for thirty-three years, recently gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal and stated bluntly: the fall of Assad would pose a threat to the national security of the United States. The cause of the threat is the increase in Syria of the number of mercenaries fighting under the flags of Al-Qaida.
The former deputy director of the CIA explained to a magazine correspondent that the “regime” of Assad has chemical weapons. Yes, and other types of weapons from him - at the level. And a lot of them. If terrorist fighters take possession of all this, Syria will become a “refuge”, a base for them, where they will both recuperate and strengthen. The victory of al-Qaida, of course, will cause a number of major problems for the United States.
It is curious that it was the representative of the CIA who spoke about the problems for the United States, and he was very experienced and high-ranking. Who, if not him, is aware of who fattens the fat meadows of terrorism in Syria? On the other hand, tseerushniki such rank rarely differ talkativeness in the air. (Well, here, really, we are dealing with a retiree).
It is also interesting that the interview appeared just now, when the whole world already knows about Islamist militants and cannibals in Syria. In the US Congress, there are not only the so-called "hawks" - supporters of the weapons of the Syrian "opposition" like McCain and Graham - but also relatively peaceful people who do not want to arm the bandits and notorious thugs. It may well be that the White House, which, under Obama, is pursuing setbacks, made an indirect attempt to save face and withdraw from the Syrian operation.
Mark Champion (Bloomberg) asks: what is Obama planning now?
The author notes that Morell, who did not comment on US policy as a whole, said a lot of things, but dropped one thing: President Obama could not cope with the situation.
Obama’s fiasco in the conflict in Syria will be seen as the biggest foreign policy failure. (Another failure, Champion considers the "monumental error" of George W. Bush with the invasion of Iraq).
One cannot say, the analyst notes, that Senator McCain was right in his desire to carry out the Libyan scenario in Syria.
Syria has never had “good choices” for the United States, but Obama had to follow the advice of the hosts of the Pentagon, the CIA and the State Department. These people last year recommended arming the Free Syrian Army in order to strengthen those forces on the battlefield, whose activities were as compatible as possible with US targets.
Thus, the “enlightened” Mr. Morell, most likely, not only demonstrates to the world community the lack of clear Syrian plans for the US administration, but also between the lines gives the reader a description of the failed foreign policy of Barack Obama and all his administrators.

Recently, residents of Cyprus built an artificial concrete reef in order to eradicate what they consider to be Spanish fish poaching. This was the beginning of a quarrel between Spain and the UK. Madrid introduced a meticulous border control at the border: now the cars are in customs for three hours or even six hours. Moreover, Spain threatens to impose a frontier "admission fee": 43 pounds (fifty euros) from the nose for "there" and the same amount for "back." This is reminiscent of the services of an Arab in Egypt, who helps a tourist climb a camel for a dollar, and then takes the money and get off. London also initiated a major naval exercises at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, aloud, however, noting that these maneuvers have long been planned.
As can be learned from the Western media, the conflict started at the end of July. 24-th and 25-th in the Gulf of Algeciras seventy concrete blocks were dropped into the water. Reinforcing rods stick out of the blocks - a meter and a half long. In fact, it is an artificial reef blocking the passage of Spanish fishing vessels.
Spain responded with protracted checks at the border. In the queue, the machines stand idle for three to six hours, British newspapers say. Drivers complain that the customs officers are supposedly looking for smuggling.
Then the Spanish Foreign Minister Garcia-Margallo said that Spain plans to impose a tax on crossing the border with Gibraltar. The tax rate is Euro 50 (pounds 43). The tax, as they say in the press, is intended to compensate for the financial losses of Spanish fishermen. In addition, the Spaniards frightened Britain with a complaint to the United Nations.
Answers came from London. Madrid's border measures were called disproportionate and politically motivated on Downing Street, then they threatened to appeal to the European Court, and later, on August 12, ten ships of the Royal Navy fleet from Plymouth and Portsmouth went to Gibraltar as part of some "routine" planned exercises. True, it was publicly announced that Spain had been notified of these maneuvers ahead of time. The press also writes that Britain was going to defend Gibraltar "like the Falkland Islands." It is not surprising, therefore, that Argentina in this geopolitical quarrel showed solidarity with Spain ...
Fiona Govan ("The Telegraph") notes that many people at the border now abandon their cars and walk across the border on foot. Traffic jams at the Spanish border do not end.
Around 10000, the Spaniards cross this border every day, going to work in a self-governing British overseas territory, having an area of just 2,6 square. miles and inhabited about 30000 people.
The Gibraltarians believe that the “checks” at the border are a retaliatory measure of Spain taken in protest against the creation of an artificial reef in the waters of Gibraltar, which are the subject of a dispute over the rights to fishing.
Fabian Picardo, the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, accused the Spanish government of distracting attention from its own internal problems with a new scandal. The Spanish government is accused of corruption, and these accusations also affect Mr. Rajoy (Spanish Prime Minister) himself, the Sky News politician said.
Pierce Go («Mirror») reports that the European Commission plans to send a group of investigators to the border of Gibraltar in the next two weeks. Their goal is to observe “new controls”. The planned investigation is a reaction of the EU to complaints from several deputies of the European Parliament, as well as from EU citizens dissatisfied with long delays at the border.
30000 residents of British overseas territory cling to their British roots, reminds the journalist. Pound currency, red mailboxes, recognizable British shops and banks, English - all this is a legacy of Gibraltar's longstanding ties with England. The results of several referendums held in Gibraltar over the course of many years (the last one in 2002) demonstrate the desire of the overwhelming majority of the population to belong to the British crown.

It is not for the first time that rumors are spreading about the death of Mikhail Gorbachev, Spiegel writes (the source of the material is "InoTV"). RIA Novosti reported the death of Gorbachev. However, it turned out: the information is false. The state news agency was ashamed of this mistake, emphasizes the German edition; the agency is justified by a hacker attack.
The last Soviet ruler "died" quite often. Once information about the death of M.S. appeared even in the "Wikipedia".
Why do Russians hate Gorbachev so much? The politician himself believes that political circles are behind the dissemination of false information. He doesn't think he is hated.
But the Internet says the opposite, the journalist continues. News of the death of Gorbachev was accompanied by numerous comments, full of political contempt, bullying and insults.
Many reviewers believe that Mikhail Sergeevich acted on orders from the United States, and therefore they call him a traitor. Someone claims that Gorbachev is richer than Abramovich. Still others wish to move his rink. The following save up saliva: getting ready to spit on his coffin.
From the comments the German journalist understood: the Russian people cannot forgive Gorbachev for the collapse of the USSR.
We must add to this: he understood everything correctly.

Cookies and sweets for Estonian soldiers
A few months later in the Estonian army will introduce a new power system, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to DELFI.
As the head of the nutrition department, Karin Repp, says, soldiers will be fed more frequently. For breakfast, lunch and dinner two extra meals will be added.
Some time ago, the army conducted a survey. His results showed that many soldiers are unhappy with their diet. Interviewees stated that “lunch is too big, and dinner is not enough for everyone.”
Earlier in the food department reported that, in accordance with the wishes of the soldiers, the composition of the suhpayk was changed. Liver gravy and chili meat were excluded from them. There were more sweets in rations: chocolate, halvah, cookies, sweets.

The idea of a boycott of the Olympics in Sochi was first voiced by US Senator Lindsay Graham. Now the media published calls to boycott Sochi in protest against the infringement of LGBT rights in Russia. The Internet has begun collecting signatures on a petition demanding to transfer the Games from Sochi to Vancouver, reports "InoTV".
According to the German edition News.de, Russia is a real “hell” for gays: here they feel hostility from all sides. Germany's Minister of Justice, Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, called the oppression of the sex minorities the next step for Russia in the direction of "pure dictatorship."
The rejection of sexual minorities in Russia has reached such a level, the British Financial Times writes, that the legal system treats corrupt officials more favorably than homosexuals.
The story of the oppression of gays in Russia went, as it turned out, even further. The LGBT issue has become a separate geopolitical topic, even involving the provision of the unfortunate persecuted "political asylum".
After the adoption of the law banning the propaganda of homosexual relations in Russia, German politicians began to discuss the possibility of granting political asylum to Russian gays. This proposal was made by the representative of the German government for human rights Markus Löning, newsbalt.ru.
“I urge the federal states to simplify the procedure for granting political asylum to gay applicants from Russia,” said Löning 11 in August in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.
The head of the Left Party’s faction in the Bundestag, Gregor Gysi, takes the same position. He says: "The federal government should provide asylum to all Russian gays who are persecuted or discriminated against in their homeland."
Finally, and according to Mariluise Beck, deputies of the Bundestag from the Union-90 / Green faction, in Germany there are legal opportunities for providing political asylum to representatives of the Russian LGBT community: “German discrimination provides for this opportunity in case of gender discrimination - with this prosecution does not have to come from the state. ”
There were voices from Canada. The Canadian Council for Refugees is likely to be favorably considered by applications for asylum from non-traditional sexual orientation from Russia, the Minister for Immigration of Canada said, reports "The Globe and Mail" (source abbr. translation - "Inopressa").
Journalists clarify: “On average, Canada arrives from 140 to 225 Russians per year applying for asylum, and about half of them receive a positive response. The Council on Immigration and Refugees does not keep accurate statistics on how many people are seeking asylum because of persecution on the basis of sexual orientation. ”
The policy of providing such "shelters" will end fatally for the West, we add from ourselves. The West has always been famous for its technology. He does not just step on a rake twice - he constructs and arranges this rake.

Submarine explosion
Specialists of the working group of the Zvezdochka ship repair center in Severodvinsk, where the submarine Sindurakshak, sunk in the port of the Indian city of Mumbai, was being repaired and modernized, is not allowed into the scene of the incident. About it ITAR-TASS correspondent Alexander Antipin told the representative of the Russian working group located in India.
“I was told that we would not be allowed in the near future,” he said. “All my attempts are in vain.”
According to the channel "IBN-EN", the process of pumping water from the submarine compartments can take from a day to two, and the whole rescue operation may take about a month. The operation continues to detect eighteen crew members who were aboard the submarine at the time of the accident.
Rescue operations are difficult due to poor visibility under water.
As noted by "Russian newspaper" With reference to RIA Novosti, an explosion on board a submarine could cause a powerful release of hydrogen when charging batteries. For this reason, there was already an explosion aboard the boat - in 2010.
According to an unnamed source in the Indian Navy, the Sindurakshak has 500 batteries and needs to be recharged every few months. Recharging requires a large number of technical staff. This just can explain the number of people that at night were on the submarine, who was not on duty.

Like with Mubarak
The Egyptian government announced a one-month state of emergency. The corresponding decree was signed by the interim president Adly Mansur, reports "RT" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
The Mansur’s decree notes that “due to deliberate acts of sabotage and attacks on public and private enterprises by members of extremist groups and organizations, as well as civilian deaths, the ARE military forces and the police must take all necessary measures to maintain security in the country, protect law and order, ensuring the safety of public and private property and protecting the lives of citizens ”.
The introduction of a state of emergency provides for unlimited powers of the army and security forces. The Cabinet of Ministers of Egypt ordered the introduction of a curfew in the country. He will operate from 21.00 to 6: 00 in the morning on the territory of Cairo and 10 more provinces of the country. However, tourist resort areas can be removed from its operation.
"RT" recalls that the state of emergency has operated in Egypt for thirty years and was canceled last year by the Mursi who came to power.
As for tourists, here, it seems, Egypt is waiting for an economic disaster.
As the "Voice of Russia", Russian travel agents and tour operators are advised to halt the promotion and sale of tourist products until the situation in Egypt normalizes. This is stated in the information letter "Rostourism".
Russian tourists have the unconditional right to demand termination of the contract with the tour operator. When returning the voucher, the full cost of the tour should be returned to the tourist before the start of the trip.

Russians everywhere
In his last book, co-authored with the historian Ronald Rihlyak, who fled at the end of the 1970s. In the United States, the General of Romanian Intelligence, Ion Mihai Pachepa, theorizes about the fact that radical Islam and anti-American propaganda of the USSR in 70's were closely related. This tells "InoTV".
In the introduction to “Disinformation: a former spy reveals secret strategies to undermine civil liberties, unleash religious wars and encourage terrorism”, the USSR is said to support Islamic terrorism “and promote hostile anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism among Arabs in the Middle East.”
The authors of the book claim that Lee Harvey Oswald, John Kennedy’s murderer, was recruited by the KGB, and later implemented a plan to eliminate this president, who “was a liberal and opposed the Soviets in Cuba and authorized the overthrow of the Castro regime”.
Operation "Dragon", which was supposed to hide the guilt of the Communists, became "the most successful operation on disinformation in modern history."
Also, as the authors believe, there is evidence that the Soviet Union attempted the life of John Paul II. Moreover, the death of Yasser Arafat can also stand the KGB. At the same time, it is argued that the Palestine Liberation Organization, whose leader was Arafat, is also a fruit of the KGB’s activities.
Finally, the authors also know that the Russian special services are responsible for the death of Alexander Litvinenko. He was removed because he disclosed information about the creation of Islamic terrorism by the Russians and the training of the Soviet intelligence of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Well, it is logical to assert that this Russia brought Islamist regimes to power. “Arab Spring” is her brainchild.
Crowning this whole conspiracy theory is the assertion of a Romanian general that former KGB officer Vladimir Putin built in Russia “the first ever dictatorship of intelligence”. In addition, Pacepa has almost no doubt that Russia has already developed a new generation of nuclear weapons.
It’s very strange, let’s add, as the omnipresent KGB missed April 1985 and allowed the USSR to shrink down to the Russian Federation.

Who flew past the "Combat Commonwealth-2013"?
The first phase of the joint exercises of the United Air Defense System of the CIS "Combat Commonwealth-2013" has begun, said on Wednesday Colonel Alexei Zolotukhin, a spokesman for the Office of the Press Service and Information on the Aerospace Defense Forces.
On the first day of the exercise, about 20 military units of the armed forces of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States were brought to the highest levels of combat readiness.
Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are taking part in the exercises. The maneuvers involved more than 500 military personnel and more than 100 units of combat and special equipment of the EKR Troops, including C-400 Triumph, C-300 Favorit, Pantyr-S anti-aircraft missile systems.
The composition of the ongoing exercises can immediately make a conclusion about which of the CIS member countries continue to harbor certain hopes that the NATO countries will ever attract them to their teachings, and they will show their full combat power there ... It is somewhat strange that military personnel from Armenia, which is included not only in the CIS, but also in the CSTO, do not take part in the exercises. Is it really a demarche about the recent visit of Vladimir Putin to Baku? Oh, they say so! - if you went to Baku, then our feet will not be on the “Combat Commonwealth-2013”.

"Come to me in Baku ..."
Today is one of the most talked about News in the Commonwealth space is a fleeting visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Azerbaijan and negotiations with Ilham Aliyev. Against the background of the words that the presidents were gathering in order to discuss economic and humanitarian cooperation, a conspiracy theories regarding the presence of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in the Russian delegation, and generally why Putin went to Baku right now, surfaced.
From this visit, a number of Russian and foreign media managed to concoct a whole conspiracy sensation. Ideas, like pictures in a kaleidoscope, replaced and complemented each other with amazing speed. From the fact that Aliyev decided to buy support from Putin, allowing him to sign contracts for joint oil production, to the point that Putin decided to take with Aliyev a subscription that he is not going to merge the Azerbaijani and Turkish armies. There was also conspiracy in the style: “Putin turned away from Yerevan,” “Putin wants to donate Nagorno-Karabakh to Baku.” There was, perhaps, only “Putin on the maternal side, perhaps an Azerbaijani” ...

Huge such secret
In the heroic city of Moscow in Bolshoy Devyatinsky Lane, representatives of the National Security Agency at one time installed one of the 150 XKeyscore servers designed for cyber espionage. Other 149 similar electronic devices are located in other cities of the world, including Beijing, Kiev, Berlin, etc. About this world public told the protagonist of the last time, Edward Snowden. The server was supposed to accumulate information relating to the correspondence of Russian officials, and this information should have been analyzed by representatives of the NSA.
And Snowden opened our eyes to the true purpose of the American Embassy in Moscow. And before that, we all thought that they were doing there in their embassy: orchids are grown or with colored pencils are drawing posters "Peace to the World!" ... Now, apparently, we should expect Ambassador McFaul to take out this very server and send it to the receiving point tsvetmeta with the words "And Schaub you, Snowden, lived on one salary!"

Ukrainian hook
Ukrainian boxer, the leader of the UDAR party, Vitali Klitschko, during a meeting with the President of the World Boxing Council, José Suleiman, announced that he was going to take part in the Ukrainian presidential race in 2015.
True, the press service of the UDAR party, as ITAR-TASS reported, “declined to comment on this message by proposing to send a written request to the party’s press service.”
Well, what, in fact ... Putin is a judoka, Lukashenko is a hockey player, and who is Yanukovych? .. No, Ukraine definitely needs to think about this. Well, at least Vitaly Klitschko understands what needs to be done so that the success of the head of state is guaranteed. Apparently, Vitaly Vladimirovich is witnessing a recent bright example with Dmitry Anatolyevich. These are the ratings that he had when he took up the badminton racket ... And then you don’t need to take anything extra: hryas from the left, hryas from the right - the rating is guaranteed. And so those who "hryas" - will be found quickly.
Comments from our readers:
MG42:
I saw Russian RTR news on cable TV yesterday, so there was a report on Ukraine’s integration, and in the end they said that Klitschko’s rating exceeded Yanukovych’s rating. It is obvious now that Yanukovych is not in favor with the Kremlin, and Moscow will not bet on him in the 2015 elections of the year in Ukraine.
Attention, orderlies! Saakashvili says!
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili argues that at one time he offered Russia that Tbilisi abandon the policy of joining NATO in exchange for solving problems with South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
"We said that we are ready to abandon NATO and abandon progressive relations with the United States on the basis of an agreement if you (the Russian Federation), in turn, will help in the progress of territorial issues also on the basis of an agreement," Saakashvili said on the TV channel Rustavi 2 "on Wednesday in an interview on the fifth anniversary of the August war.
At the same time, the Georgian president said that at the height of the 2008 conflict, the Americans offered to evacuate him from the country.
Oh, this mister Saakashvili ... He manages to declare diametrically opposed things and at the same time does not even blush. He says that to negotiate with "occupant" Russia is generally a terrible betrayal for Georgia, then suddenly he himself asserts that he did not just speak with Russia, but also put forward proposals. He then declares that the conflict in South Ossetia was provoked by Moscow, then suddenly appears on Georgian TV and is frank in style: the entry of Georgian troops in Tskhinvali was supported by Washington.
Apparently, he feels the approach of the presidential election, which is why his verbal incontinence manifests itself. A sort of toy president-talker. Now on the Georgian shelves ...

Persons involved in the desecration of a military memorial in Rzhev convicted
The Rzhev city court on Friday sentenced 21-year-old Nikolai Sergeev, 19-year-old Mikhail Berlizov and 18-year-old Nikita Kazaritsky, who were accused of desecrating a memorial to Soviet soldiers in Rzhev. Sergeyev was sentenced to one year of imprisonment in a penal colony, Berlizova and Kazaritsky were sentenced to restriction of liberty on 1,5 each year.
As established by the court and the investigation, four young people, parkour lovers, one of whom did not reach the age of criminal responsibility at that time, used the Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of Rzhev from the Nazi invaders to jump with elements of the acrobatics of the Obelisk plate.
Interestingly, why did these gentlemen of the color of conscription age, who ran in their underwear obelisks and danced on the Eternal Flame, were engaged, God forgive me, parkour, and not drill or combat training in one of the military units of the Armed Forces? Perhaps, the investigation should have been digging more in this direction, and for the young people to be tried for evasion from service, add “a little more time” to think about their actions, and for other “Komsomol members-parkurovtsy” the lesson would be a serious one ... after all, how it turns out: if you need to go to the army, then many representatives of modern youth, then squint, then flat foot of the last stage, then God knows what, and how to run around the monuments in shorts in winter, everything turns out to be unexpectedly improved. Of course, one cannot exclude the fact that they are students of Russian universities, and therefore they had a legal reprieve. Well, then it remains to say only: what is the university, are the students ...

Angry holidaymaker B.H. Obama
The American president publicly showed his lack of balance: he threw out frustration and resentment at the foreign policy level. Last week, he refused to meet with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and then completely announced a “pause” in relations between the United States and Russia. Analysts are puzzled: not that Obama is nervous because of Snowden, a new resident of Moscow, is not worried about the "blue" oppressed in Russia, or the owner of the Oval Office was offended because of the democratic failure in Syria, which the Kremlin continues to support. On "Military Review" The hypothesis was put forward that Obama annoyed himself - on his own foreign and domestic political setbacks.
The reason for the cancellation of the Moscow talks were, as reported, not only the contradictions that arose between Russia and the United States because of Snowden. The White House complained about the tough stance of the Russian authorities on other issues, including the deployment of the US missile defense system, notes "Lenta.ru"referring to the Associated Press.
In Washington, they explained that Obama would come to Russia for the G20 summit, but he would not meet face to face with Putin. Instead of meeting with him, the American president will visit ... Stockholm. (By the way, the Swedes are already joking on this topic - they say Obama will give the government valuable advice on how to save Sweden from the bombing of Stockholm by the Russians).
Then the next episode went on the air. The US president said that he intended to take a "pause" in relations with Russia, without specifying what he had in mind.
Maybe he decided to take a break from the recalcitrant Russians. Maybe he just blurted out something wrong before going on vacation. Maybe he called the vacation "pause" - they say, while Obama is not, there is no geopolitics. Maybe Obama was completely misunderstood or even incorrectly translated, what happens.
However, they understood and translated Obama correctly. Since he said not only about the pause, but also about something else, he thereby made it clear to the Kremlin how great his annoyance and resentment was. It is even possible that he took leave to calm down.
The key moments of Obama's statement are as follows: 1) praising Medvedev in defiance of Putin (under Medvedev, they say, the relations between the United States and Russia have made great progress); 2) mention of anti-American rhetoric, returned to the Kremlin after the presidential election in the Russian Federation 2012; 3) Putin’s comparison with a “tired schoolboy”; 4) Recognizing that differences between the United States and Russia will persist.
Well, everyone understands: the ideal Russian politician for Washington is someone like Gorbachev. Yeltsin, as an unwitting follower of the ideas of Mikhail Sergeyevich, also fully corresponds to the spirit of “partnership” that the State Department preaches. When Russia is governed by such “leaders,” Russia is on the right track from the point of view of the White House: stumbling to the grave.
When Moscow gives shelter to a fighter with total American wiretapping Snowden, this seeker of truth and a staunch opponent of “Big Brother” (who knows “Brother” from the inside), this means that Russians, according to Obama, “roll back to the thinking and mentality of the Cold War ". This statement is not even a double standard; it is something of the inverted logic of the Bolshevik Pyatakov.
This twisted logic, when black is recognized as white because the party orders (or rather, it is not just recognized, but is recognized as true), and is fully inherent in the American administration.
Blaming the Russians for falling for the Cold War, Obama is doing precisely that which is spinning a new round of this very war. Bringing “peregruzka” instead of “reset” on the symbolic button, Obama seems to have really experienced a real overload. In the end, as you call a yacht, so it will float.

Obama, frankly, is ridiculous, and even more. Instead of just keeping silent, he “drowns” himself more and more. He is a very weak politician, and this is a fact right now, when he has driven himself into such conditions that any action leads to new mistakes.
Voice of the CIA
Encouraging oppositionists in Syria — the very fighters for democracy and human rights that no-no and even appear under the green banner — the United States supplies them not only with “non-lethal equipment,” communications equipment, but, as is known, with weapons. All this is planned and done under the emblem of the CIA. More than once in the media there were reports that with the US weapons fighters from Dzhebhat an-Nusra and other branches of al-Qaida are fighting in their hands. No matter how the West and the Saudis strive to arm the "true democrats," for some reason, machine guns and rifles turn out to be bearded men. Some of these bearded men, prone to radical Islam, have arrived in Syrian cities from EU countries. With the defeat of the Islamist forces or at the end of the jihad holidays, they will return to their Stockholm, Brussels and London and will be engaged in the introduction of the basics of Sharia in the "homeland". That is why not so long ago, British Prime Minister Cameron refused to arm the "oppositionists" in Syria, noting that there are supposedly many different kinds of warfare. As for the United States, al-Qaeda has long promised to attack Washington - as soon as it establishes power in Damascus. But the United States, as you know, ignition later. And yet the other day, suddenly, “More clearly saw the light” of Mr. Morell - the former first deputy director of the CIA, who resigned and received it on August 9.
This man, who worked at the CIA for thirty-three years, recently gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal and stated bluntly: the fall of Assad would pose a threat to the national security of the United States. The cause of the threat is the increase in Syria of the number of mercenaries fighting under the flags of Al-Qaida.
The former deputy director of the CIA explained to a magazine correspondent that the “regime” of Assad has chemical weapons. Yes, and other types of weapons from him - at the level. And a lot of them. If terrorist fighters take possession of all this, Syria will become a “refuge”, a base for them, where they will both recuperate and strengthen. The victory of al-Qaida, of course, will cause a number of major problems for the United States.
It is curious that it was the representative of the CIA who spoke about the problems for the United States, and he was very experienced and high-ranking. Who, if not him, is aware of who fattens the fat meadows of terrorism in Syria? On the other hand, tseerushniki such rank rarely differ talkativeness in the air. (Well, here, really, we are dealing with a retiree).
It is also interesting that the interview appeared just now, when the whole world already knows about Islamist militants and cannibals in Syria. In the US Congress, there are not only the so-called "hawks" - supporters of the weapons of the Syrian "opposition" like McCain and Graham - but also relatively peaceful people who do not want to arm the bandits and notorious thugs. It may well be that the White House, which, under Obama, is pursuing setbacks, made an indirect attempt to save face and withdraw from the Syrian operation.
Mark Champion (Bloomberg) asks: what is Obama planning now?
The author notes that Morell, who did not comment on US policy as a whole, said a lot of things, but dropped one thing: President Obama could not cope with the situation.
Obama’s fiasco in the conflict in Syria will be seen as the biggest foreign policy failure. (Another failure, Champion considers the "monumental error" of George W. Bush with the invasion of Iraq).
One cannot say, the analyst notes, that Senator McCain was right in his desire to carry out the Libyan scenario in Syria.
Syria has never had “good choices” for the United States, but Obama had to follow the advice of the hosts of the Pentagon, the CIA and the State Department. These people last year recommended arming the Free Syrian Army in order to strengthen those forces on the battlefield, whose activities were as compatible as possible with US targets.
Thus, the “enlightened” Mr. Morell, most likely, not only demonstrates to the world community the lack of clear Syrian plans for the US administration, but also between the lines gives the reader a description of the failed foreign policy of Barack Obama and all his administrators.

Somehow they are late in sight, very suspicious. Again, it seems, something started, but it is more like a "swan song."

Speaking of US political decisions, we see their power as something integral and non-contradictory, akin to the CPSU.
The note contains a nuance. There are two wings in the US Congress: moderate (pigeons) and hawks. Obama last year, as far as I know, was marked by a struggle with Congress, where he was crushed by the hawks.
Pay attention to Obama's latest appointment in the winter of 2012-13.
The new state secretary, the new minister of defense, the new head of the CIA ... All of them are characterized by many analysts as "moderate."
If you look at Mr. M's "Insight" from this point of view, then we see a gradual change in the balance of forces within the core of US decision-making power. And this new balance will probably lead to a change of course towards Syria.

British rock
Recently, residents of Cyprus built an artificial concrete reef in order to eradicate what they consider to be Spanish fish poaching. This was the beginning of a quarrel between Spain and the UK. Madrid introduced a meticulous border control at the border: now the cars are in customs for three hours or even six hours. Moreover, Spain threatens to impose a frontier "admission fee": 43 pounds (fifty euros) from the nose for "there" and the same amount for "back." This is reminiscent of the services of an Arab in Egypt, who helps a tourist climb a camel for a dollar, and then takes the money and get off. London also initiated a major naval exercises at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, aloud, however, noting that these maneuvers have long been planned.
As can be learned from the Western media, the conflict started at the end of July. 24-th and 25-th in the Gulf of Algeciras seventy concrete blocks were dropped into the water. Reinforcing rods stick out of the blocks - a meter and a half long. In fact, it is an artificial reef blocking the passage of Spanish fishing vessels.
Spain responded with protracted checks at the border. In the queue, the machines stand idle for three to six hours, British newspapers say. Drivers complain that the customs officers are supposedly looking for smuggling.
Then the Spanish Foreign Minister Garcia-Margallo said that Spain plans to impose a tax on crossing the border with Gibraltar. The tax rate is Euro 50 (pounds 43). The tax, as they say in the press, is intended to compensate for the financial losses of Spanish fishermen. In addition, the Spaniards frightened Britain with a complaint to the United Nations.
Answers came from London. Madrid's border measures were called disproportionate and politically motivated on Downing Street, then they threatened to appeal to the European Court, and later, on August 12, ten ships of the Royal Navy fleet from Plymouth and Portsmouth went to Gibraltar as part of some "routine" planned exercises. True, it was publicly announced that Spain had been notified of these maneuvers ahead of time. The press also writes that Britain was going to defend Gibraltar "like the Falkland Islands." It is not surprising, therefore, that Argentina in this geopolitical quarrel showed solidarity with Spain ...
Fiona Govan ("The Telegraph") notes that many people at the border now abandon their cars and walk across the border on foot. Traffic jams at the Spanish border do not end.
Around 10000, the Spaniards cross this border every day, going to work in a self-governing British overseas territory, having an area of just 2,6 square. miles and inhabited about 30000 people.
The Gibraltarians believe that the “checks” at the border are a retaliatory measure of Spain taken in protest against the creation of an artificial reef in the waters of Gibraltar, which are the subject of a dispute over the rights to fishing.
Fabian Picardo, the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, accused the Spanish government of distracting attention from its own internal problems with a new scandal. The Spanish government is accused of corruption, and these accusations also affect Mr. Rajoy (Spanish Prime Minister) himself, the Sky News politician said.
Pierce Go («Mirror») reports that the European Commission plans to send a group of investigators to the border of Gibraltar in the next two weeks. Their goal is to observe “new controls”. The planned investigation is a reaction of the EU to complaints from several deputies of the European Parliament, as well as from EU citizens dissatisfied with long delays at the border.
30000 residents of British overseas territory cling to their British roots, reminds the journalist. Pound currency, red mailboxes, recognizable British shops and banks, English - all this is a legacy of Gibraltar's longstanding ties with England. The results of several referendums held in Gibraltar over the course of many years (the last one in 2002) demonstrate the desire of the overwhelming majority of the population to belong to the British crown.

As long as there is such a big gap in the living standards of Spain and Britain (read Gibraltar), the Spaniards do not shine. We need to raise our economy, and not to play in sovereignty. Yes, the time of colonialism has passed. But the Gibraltarians themselves hold a different opinion. Who would agree to lose material wealth due to political games?

Catalonia thinks so too. Spaniards do not want to work. They have lunch, siesta, something else + all this is seasoned with a terrible bureaucracy and, as we say, “drink tea”. It is not entirely clear how this state functions at all. Well, about the sovereignty of the EU - of course, strongly, but not quite right.

Gibraltar is the only place in Europe where half-wild monkeys live - magnets. According to local belief, Gibraltar will be British as long as at least one monkey is alive.

Belief argues that as long as a colony of monkey magotov exists in Gibraltar, the territory will be under British rule. In the 1942 year (during World War II), after the population was reduced to just a few individuals (seven monkeys in total), British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill ordered that their number be immediately replenished by forest magots from Morocco and Algeria - in this regard, believe.
Buried by hackers
It is not for the first time that rumors are spreading about the death of Mikhail Gorbachev, Spiegel writes (the source of the material is "InoTV"). RIA Novosti reported the death of Gorbachev. However, it turned out: the information is false. The state news agency was ashamed of this mistake, emphasizes the German edition; the agency is justified by a hacker attack.
The last Soviet ruler "died" quite often. Once information about the death of M.S. appeared even in the "Wikipedia".
Why do Russians hate Gorbachev so much? The politician himself believes that political circles are behind the dissemination of false information. He doesn't think he is hated.
But the Internet says the opposite, the journalist continues. News of the death of Gorbachev was accompanied by numerous comments, full of political contempt, bullying and insults.
Many reviewers believe that Mikhail Sergeevich acted on orders from the United States, and therefore they call him a traitor. Someone claims that Gorbachev is richer than Abramovich. Still others wish to move his rink. The following save up saliva: getting ready to spit on his coffin.
From the comments the German journalist understood: the Russian people cannot forgive Gorbachev for the collapse of the USSR.
We must add to this: he understood everything correctly.

Cookies and sweets for Estonian soldiers
A few months later in the Estonian army will introduce a new power system, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to DELFI.
As the head of the nutrition department, Karin Repp, says, soldiers will be fed more frequently. For breakfast, lunch and dinner two extra meals will be added.
Some time ago, the army conducted a survey. His results showed that many soldiers are unhappy with their diet. Interviewees stated that “lunch is too big, and dinner is not enough for everyone.”
Earlier in the food department reported that, in accordance with the wishes of the soldiers, the composition of the suhpayk was changed. Liver gravy and chili meat were excluded from them. There were more sweets in rations: chocolate, halvah, cookies, sweets.

Good riddance
The idea of a boycott of the Olympics in Sochi was first voiced by US Senator Lindsay Graham. Now the media published calls to boycott Sochi in protest against the infringement of LGBT rights in Russia. The Internet has begun collecting signatures on a petition demanding to transfer the Games from Sochi to Vancouver, reports "InoTV".
According to the German edition News.de, Russia is a real “hell” for gays: here they feel hostility from all sides. Germany's Minister of Justice, Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, called the oppression of the sex minorities the next step for Russia in the direction of "pure dictatorship."
The rejection of sexual minorities in Russia has reached such a level, the British Financial Times writes, that the legal system treats corrupt officials more favorably than homosexuals.
The story of the oppression of gays in Russia went, as it turned out, even further. The LGBT issue has become a separate geopolitical topic, even involving the provision of the unfortunate persecuted "political asylum".
After the adoption of the law banning the propaganda of homosexual relations in Russia, German politicians began to discuss the possibility of granting political asylum to Russian gays. This proposal was made by the representative of the German government for human rights Markus Löning, newsbalt.ru.
“I urge the federal states to simplify the procedure for granting political asylum to gay applicants from Russia,” said Löning 11 in August in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.
The head of the Left Party’s faction in the Bundestag, Gregor Gysi, takes the same position. He says: "The federal government should provide asylum to all Russian gays who are persecuted or discriminated against in their homeland."
Finally, and according to Mariluise Beck, deputies of the Bundestag from the Union-90 / Green faction, in Germany there are legal opportunities for providing political asylum to representatives of the Russian LGBT community: “German discrimination provides for this opportunity in case of gender discrimination - with this prosecution does not have to come from the state. ”
There were voices from Canada. The Canadian Council for Refugees is likely to be favorably considered by applications for asylum from non-traditional sexual orientation from Russia, the Minister for Immigration of Canada said, reports "The Globe and Mail" (source abbr. translation - "Inopressa").
Journalists clarify: “On average, Canada arrives from 140 to 225 Russians per year applying for asylum, and about half of them receive a positive response. The Council on Immigration and Refugees does not keep accurate statistics on how many people are seeking asylum because of persecution on the basis of sexual orientation. ”
The policy of providing such "shelters" will end fatally for the West, we add from ourselves. The West has always been famous for its technology. He does not just step on a rake twice - he constructs and arranges this rake.

I would be terribly happy if for gay people, but simply homosexuals, in Russia there really will be hell. For homosexuals wishing to emigrate, we should have rainbow-colored carpeting on our side. The mood was very good, that in Germany, Canada, etc., they lack their own, and they turned on the green light for our peid ... aces. I do not know how in Canada, but the Germans are already on the nose when the Turks and Arabs, having the majority, all the rainbow public are executed under Sharia law.

But this is correct. Thank. Take in bulk if you have enough of your own.

Again, the topic of protecting the rights of homosexuals is in the center of the review. Even Syria is somehow obscured. You know, we stepped on the most painful western corn! Now we still need to trample and twist on it (on calluses), let their transgender schoolchildren and lesbians raped by a group suffer. It all comes together in one picture: pederastnya seizes Europe, it plunges into complete economic decline and hopelessness, the EU is falling apart, unemployment is growing, national conflicts begin to flare up, new dictators come, etc. And then we go back to tanks enter their capitals. So, at the same time we will introduce a ban on homos in Europe.
Submarine explosion
Specialists of the working group of the Zvezdochka ship repair center in Severodvinsk, where the submarine Sindurakshak, sunk in the port of the Indian city of Mumbai, was being repaired and modernized, is not allowed into the scene of the incident. About it ITAR-TASS correspondent Alexander Antipin told the representative of the Russian working group located in India.
“I was told that we would not be allowed in the near future,” he said. “All my attempts are in vain.”
According to the channel "IBN-EN", the process of pumping water from the submarine compartments can take from a day to two, and the whole rescue operation may take about a month. The operation continues to detect eighteen crew members who were aboard the submarine at the time of the accident.
Rescue operations are difficult due to poor visibility under water.
As noted by "Russian newspaper" With reference to RIA Novosti, an explosion on board a submarine could cause a powerful release of hydrogen when charging batteries. For this reason, there was already an explosion aboard the boat - in 2010.
According to an unnamed source in the Indian Navy, the Sindurakshak has 500 batteries and needs to be recharged every few months. Recharging requires a large number of technical staff. This just can explain the number of people that at night were on the submarine, who was not on duty.

100 poods, the Indians will try to blame Russia for technical malfunctions of the submarines, and therefore they do not allow, they “clear out” what ours do not need to see. Today, the info has already passed that it seems that Indians even invite our specialists to investigate a state of emergency. Apparently, everything is ready for claims ...

It is not yet clear what will happen ... But at the same time, the Indians are going to lease submarines in Russia. True, it is not clear which ones.

Somehow dumbly Hindu submarines leased to give ... Well, they can not normally maintain the equipment, and they have some sort of medieval order. The fact that they are decorating tanks (even the submarines) is their business, but these incense sticks when everywhere are burned and lamps in the compartments before the gods are burning, then you would have to think about what caused the fire.

The Egyptian government announced a one-month state of emergency. The corresponding decree was signed by the interim president Adly Mansur, reports "RT" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
The Mansur’s decree notes that “due to deliberate acts of sabotage and attacks on public and private enterprises by members of extremist groups and organizations, as well as civilian deaths, the ARE military forces and the police must take all necessary measures to maintain security in the country, protect law and order, ensuring the safety of public and private property and protecting the lives of citizens ”.
The introduction of a state of emergency provides for unlimited powers of the army and security forces. The Cabinet of Ministers of Egypt ordered the introduction of a curfew in the country. He will operate from 21.00 to 6: 00 in the morning on the territory of Cairo and 10 more provinces of the country. However, tourist resort areas can be removed from its operation.
"RT" recalls that the state of emergency has operated in Egypt for thirty years and was canceled last year by the Mursi who came to power.
As for tourists, here, it seems, Egypt is waiting for an economic disaster.
As the "Voice of Russia", Russian travel agents and tour operators are advised to halt the promotion and sale of tourist products until the situation in Egypt normalizes. This is stated in the information letter "Rostourism".
Russian tourists have the unconditional right to demand termination of the contract with the tour operator. When returning the voucher, the full cost of the tour should be returned to the tourist before the start of the trip.

Such pride for compatriots yesterday was when the news passed that no Russian tourist had interrupted their holidays. Americans and Europeans hastily leave the Egyptian resorts, and our take advantage of the moment - cheapness ...

If Egypt falls into the abyss of civil war (and most likely it will), the internal Syrian conflict will seem like a petty war. A large country with a population of 85 million is able to blow up the entire Middle East. Terrorist attacks in Lebanon may turn out to be an overture on the involvement of this country in the Syrian conflict. There is clearly a foreign factor. Yesterday I wrote on the site that the same forces that control the world media stand behind the destabilization of the situation in the Middle East region, everywhere they stick their noses, implant their puppets and, by fooling the ordinary people, send troops to distant lands. And for this, I almost zaminusovali. Events seem to take a more serious turn than we imagined.

He left Egypt on the thirteenth, just before the last exacerbation. Already wrote that the hotel in the last days of the rest settled full of Arabs, they behaved in a boorish way. Yesterday, the eldest daughter confessed, already before leaving, lay in a lounge chair by the pool, looked at the Internet on the phone, came a loose Arab of about thirty, grabbed her hand and said in English: "You must be my wife." My daughter was a karate woman, pulled out her hand, kicked him in the belly and kicked him into the pool and ran away. Why, I say I did not immediately say. You would say he crippled him (and I had a persistent aversion to them these days) and would be in the police, why?
Russians everywhere
In his last book, co-authored with the historian Ronald Rihlyak, who fled at the end of the 1970s. In the United States, the General of Romanian Intelligence, Ion Mihai Pachepa, theorizes about the fact that radical Islam and anti-American propaganda of the USSR in 70's were closely related. This tells "InoTV".
In the introduction to “Disinformation: a former spy reveals secret strategies to undermine civil liberties, unleash religious wars and encourage terrorism”, the USSR is said to support Islamic terrorism “and promote hostile anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism among Arabs in the Middle East.”
The authors of the book claim that Lee Harvey Oswald, John Kennedy’s murderer, was recruited by the KGB, and later implemented a plan to eliminate this president, who “was a liberal and opposed the Soviets in Cuba and authorized the overthrow of the Castro regime”.
Operation "Dragon", which was supposed to hide the guilt of the Communists, became "the most successful operation on disinformation in modern history."
Also, as the authors believe, there is evidence that the Soviet Union attempted the life of John Paul II. Moreover, the death of Yasser Arafat can also stand the KGB. At the same time, it is argued that the Palestine Liberation Organization, whose leader was Arafat, is also a fruit of the KGB’s activities.
Finally, the authors also know that the Russian special services are responsible for the death of Alexander Litvinenko. He was removed because he disclosed information about the creation of Islamic terrorism by the Russians and the training of the Soviet intelligence of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Well, it is logical to assert that this Russia brought Islamist regimes to power. “Arab Spring” is her brainchild.
Crowning this whole conspiracy theory is the assertion of a Romanian general that former KGB officer Vladimir Putin built in Russia “the first ever dictatorship of intelligence”. In addition, Pacepa has almost no doubt that Russia has already developed a new generation of nuclear weapons.
It’s very strange, let’s add, as the omnipresent KGB missed April 1985 and allowed the USSR to shrink down to the Russian Federation.
