Sacred Lice Opposition. As Anna Dymova writes ("ANNA News"), the Aleppo Sharia Court issued a fatwa, according to which the lice living in the beards of jihadist warriors are sacred. They can never be destroyed. Why? Jihadists do not always have at their disposal a sufficient supply of water, and the water that they have is used by them to wash before prayer. After ablution, a moist environment occurs that favors the spread of lice.
The Sharia court advises jihadists to paint beards with henna, as the Prophet did to reduce itching.
Fans of hygiene, who dare to violate the new decree, a punishment: fifty strokes with sticks.
Cultivation of insects, we will add from ourselves, is a great example of what Syria might expect if the terrorist forces win.

This was stated by the leader of the public movement “Ukrainian choice” Viktor Medvedchuk, reports Igor Dunaevsky ("Russian newspaper").
“If Ukraine does not enter the Customs Union in the future, but chooses a vector for integration with the West, then Kiev should understand that the Customs Union will introduce protective measures over time, and we need to get used to this reality,” Medvedchuk said. “If the authorities and the opposition believe that it is necessary to strive to sign an association agreement with the European Union, then in relations with the Russian Federation and the countries of the CU, the country will have to act according to the new rules of doing business and business.
Russia as a state "insolvent" Ukraine. The American Peace Foundation presented the annual Failed States Index, which includes 178 countries. From 2010 to 2013, Ukraine has become “richer” by eight points and has risen to 117 place, not leaving “attention” out of the orange zone, but approaching the “stable state” mark, from-ua.com with reference to Zn.ua.

Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Euroradio. The politician saw in the projects a threat to Lithuania.
Landsbergis stated: “For us, [stations] under construction in Ostrovets [Belarus] and in the Kaliningrad Region are two Russian stations. These are atomic ticks of Russia. Very dangerous, not tested and not tested. ”
The deputy is sure that the place for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Belarus (in the Ostrovets district of the Grodno region) was chosen on the orders of the Kremlin in order to “psychologically hit Lithuania”.
Czech political phenomenon: the deputies dismissed themselves. The Chamber of Deputies of the Czech parliament voted for self-dissolution. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Radio Praha.
140 from 200 deputies voted for the dissolution of the parliament. Elections to the Czech parliament will be held within 60 days.

The former ruling coalition of parliamentarians, led by the Civic Democratic Party, expressed distrust in the cabinet of Prime Minister Jiri Rusnok.
President Zeman appointed Rusnok as head of government in July after the former prime minister and leader of the Civil Democratic Party, Peter Necas, resigned in the face of a corruption scandal.
Sexual totalitarianism is sweeping the planet. The father of many children, Eugen M., who lives in Hamm (Germany), spent a day in prison, because his daughter Melita missed two lessons in sex education. However, this is not the only case. In another German school, eight sixth-graders lost consciousness during the lesson of a sex question after seeing an image of the genitals. He writes about it newsbalt.ru.
Melita said she could not stand it and left the classroom, but the teacher dragged her back by force. After that, her parents received a notice of payment of the fine.
They refused to pay. The case went to court, in which the couple did not have the right to self-defense. Eugen and his wife Louise (pregnant) were sentenced to one day in prison.
Some Germans do not want their 4 grade children to study pornographic material in school. But the authorities do not care.
At the prison, in addition to his own seven children, Comrade Eugen was met by a support group consisting of other children and their parents. People shouted: “We need love, not sex!”
Eugen said:
Latvian politician, leader of the “For the native language!” Party, Vladimir Linderman commented on German history on Facebook:
Judging by how actively LGBT people are promoting their interests in the US and the “advanced” countries of Europe in parliaments, Western civilization is left to exist even less than it was taken away by Comrade P. Buchanan. A whole century is too long for preachers of totalitarian sexology and homotolerance.
From 1 November in Germany will be three genders. In November, a law will come into force in Germany that allows you to record newborns not as a “girl” or “boy”, but to write “other” if it is not possible to determine the sex of the child, or to make a pass. This tells Irina Suchet ("Voice of Russia").
According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, we are talking about those who love the model business: girls with boyish forms and young people who are as lovely as girls. Until now, the floor with the letter “X” was possible only in Australia and New Zealand.
The recognition of the third sex in Germany is based on the recommendation of the constitutional court. The judges considered that the “third sex” should have basic human rights. A person registered as “intersexual” will be able to change his gender when he wishes.
Hermaphrodites are born due to a hereditary mutation in the genes. The girl's outer genitals look like women, but genetically she is a man.
Now the Germans were confronted with questions of reforming the system of issuing state documents. The authorities will have to make changes in the marriage legislation.
Are you against same-sex love? We will take action! Against the backdrop of criticism of the Russian “anti-gay law”, the question of promoting homosexuality arose in Europe. In the UK, a scandal erupted in connection with accusations against educational institutions, which "return to 1980's anti-angely prejudice," reports "RT".
It turns out that the old 28 article of the UK Local Government Act, adopted a quarter of a century ago, under Margaret Thatcher, was reflected in the educational standards of many British schools. The article prohibited "the promotion of homosexuality in the educational process and printed materials."
It was canceled in the 2003 year - at the initiative of Tony Blair.
Nevertheless, in many schools, the leadership still strictly prohibits the "popularization" of same-sex relationships.
Now, all sorts of human rights activists compare the old rule of internal order with the "anti-Angisky law" in Russia and demand from the British Minister of Education to take action.
Drunk driver or laser rifle? The mystery of the death of Princess Diana can be uncovered after 16 years after the tragedy, reports Kirill Kiryanov ("Vesti").
The sensational testimony about the death of Princess Diana, which Scotland Yard drew attention to, appeared in the British press and suggests that the death of Diana in a car crash could have been a planned murder - and one that the British secret services were involved in organizing.
Sensational information came to light during the trial of the special air service sergeant Danny Nightingale, who was tried for illegal possession of weapons. One of the witnesses in this case was his colleague, "Soldier N". It was he who confessed to his wife that the accident in Paris was the result of a deliberate operation.
“The parents of the former wife of the serviceman sent a letter to the commander of the Special Air Service, in which they claimed that their daughter’s former husband had told her about the involvement of the service in the death of Princess Diana,” Scotland Yard notes. “This fact, according to him, has been diligently hiding for a long time.”
Journalists remembered the version that was expressed after the tragedy. When the Mercedes of the princess drove into the tunnel, a flash of light cut through the twilight. A moment later, the car crashed into a pillar of the tunnel. British and French newspapers published a statement by the former British intelligence agent Richard Thomplison that the latest laser rifle had been tested that night in Paris.

Rasbridger says that he was called several times by "very serious government officials who said they were acting in the interests of the Prime Minister." Then he was invited to two meetings with representatives of the authorities, where they demanded to give them materials received from E. Snowden, or to destroy them. And the officials frightened the editor with the court.
Moreover, the editorial staff was visited by employees of the British Center for Government Communications. These people who look like madmen erased data from several hard drives of editorial computers. "Signalers" explained the action on the destruction of files with precautionary measures. From whom did the agents warn? It turns out from the Chinese spies.
“This was one of the craziest moments in the Guardian’s long history,” said Comrade Rasbridger.
The article notes that on the eve of the journalist "Guardian" Glenn Greenwald, who received documents from Snowden, said he was going to act more energetically, publishing materials exposing British secret services.
Such a statement was a response to the detention of a friend of the journalist David Miranda, a Brazilian journalist who also wrote for the Guardian, at Heathrow Airport. Miranda was interrogated for nine hours, intimidating him with a prison. Seven agents tortured the journalist with questions about Greenwald and Snowden. The agents justified their actions by the 2000 law on terrorism, which allows any foreign citizens to be detained for interrogation when crossing the border.

Russia as a state "insolvent" Ukraine. The American Peace Foundation presented the annual Failed States Index, which includes 178 countries. From 2010 to 2013, Ukraine has become “richer” by eight points and has risen to 117 place, not leaving “attention” out of the orange zone, but approaching the “stable state” mark, from-ua.com with reference to Zn.ua.
The index includes 12 criteria: negative impact on the population, brain drain, relationships between social groups, economic development, state legitimacy, threat of external intervention, etc.

Mr. Landsbergis told the world about atomic mites in Russia. MEP from Lithuania, the former Chairman of the Parliament of the Republic Vytautas Landsbergis criticized projects for the construction of nuclear power plants in Russia and Belarus. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Euroradio. The politician saw in the projects a threat to Lithuania.
Landsbergis stated: “For us, [stations] under construction in Ostrovets [Belarus] and in the Kaliningrad Region are two Russian stations. These are atomic ticks of Russia. Very dangerous, not tested and not tested. ”
The deputy is sure that the place for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Belarus (in the Ostrovets district of the Grodno region) was chosen on the orders of the Kremlin in order to “psychologically hit Lithuania”.
Czech political phenomenon: the deputies dismissed themselves. The Chamber of Deputies of the Czech parliament voted for self-dissolution. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to Radio Praha.
140 from 200 deputies voted for the dissolution of the parliament. Elections to the Czech parliament will be held within 60 days.
The dissolution of parliament was the result of a political crisis that escalated after the expression of a vote of no confidence in the government in early August. The former ruling coalition of parliamentarians, led by the Civic Democratic Party, expressed distrust in the cabinet of Prime Minister Jiri Rusnok.
President Zeman appointed Rusnok as head of government in July after the former prime minister and leader of the Civil Democratic Party, Peter Necas, resigned in the face of a corruption scandal.
Sexual totalitarianism is sweeping the planet. The father of many children, Eugen M., who lives in Hamm (Germany), spent a day in prison, because his daughter Melita missed two lessons in sex education. However, this is not the only case. In another German school, eight sixth-graders lost consciousness during the lesson of a sex question after seeing an image of the genitals. He writes about it newsbalt.ru.
Melita said she could not stand it and left the classroom, but the teacher dragged her back by force. After that, her parents received a notice of payment of the fine.
They refused to pay. The case went to court, in which the couple did not have the right to self-defense. Eugen and his wife Louise (pregnant) were sentenced to one day in prison.
Some Germans do not want their 4 grade children to study pornographic material in school. But the authorities do not care.
At the prison, in addition to his own seven children, Comrade Eugen was met by a support group consisting of other children and their parents. People shouted: “We need love, not sex!”
Eugen said:
“What a strange feeling when you are arrested for something for which you are not guilty, they take away your freedom, something that rightfully belongs to everyone. You are simply arrested because your daughter missed two sex education classes because she could not stand it. Our family has long understood that the situation that has developed around our school education will end badly. The day spent in prison, it was worth it that it reached the people, was published. Therefore, everything is certainly justified. Teachers, as a rule, have nothing to do with it, the matter is in the school education system, where the principle of early sex education is purposefully promoted, representing a great danger for our children. ”
Latvian politician, leader of the “For the native language!” Party, Vladimir Linderman commented on German history on Facebook:
“Once again I will repeat my main thesis: what we observe is not a struggle for the rights of sex minorities. This is just a candy wrapper, and the candy itself is a radical reorganization of the world and the breaking of human nature itself. And the same rainbow wrapper is gay parades, and in fact the new world ideology will be introduced and is already being introduced by police and totalitarian methods. ”
Judging by how actively LGBT people are promoting their interests in the US and the “advanced” countries of Europe in parliaments, Western civilization is left to exist even less than it was taken away by Comrade P. Buchanan. A whole century is too long for preachers of totalitarian sexology and homotolerance.
From 1 November in Germany will be three genders. In November, a law will come into force in Germany that allows you to record newborns not as a “girl” or “boy”, but to write “other” if it is not possible to determine the sex of the child, or to make a pass. This tells Irina Suchet ("Voice of Russia").
According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, we are talking about those who love the model business: girls with boyish forms and young people who are as lovely as girls. Until now, the floor with the letter “X” was possible only in Australia and New Zealand.
The recognition of the third sex in Germany is based on the recommendation of the constitutional court. The judges considered that the “third sex” should have basic human rights. A person registered as “intersexual” will be able to change his gender when he wishes.
Hermaphrodites are born due to a hereditary mutation in the genes. The girl's outer genitals look like women, but genetically she is a man.
Now the Germans were confronted with questions of reforming the system of issuing state documents. The authorities will have to make changes in the marriage legislation.
Are you against same-sex love? We will take action! Against the backdrop of criticism of the Russian “anti-gay law”, the question of promoting homosexuality arose in Europe. In the UK, a scandal erupted in connection with accusations against educational institutions, which "return to 1980's anti-angely prejudice," reports "RT".
It turns out that the old 28 article of the UK Local Government Act, adopted a quarter of a century ago, under Margaret Thatcher, was reflected in the educational standards of many British schools. The article prohibited "the promotion of homosexuality in the educational process and printed materials."
It was canceled in the 2003 year - at the initiative of Tony Blair.
Nevertheless, in many schools, the leadership still strictly prohibits the "popularization" of same-sex relationships.
Now, all sorts of human rights activists compare the old rule of internal order with the "anti-Angisky law" in Russia and demand from the British Minister of Education to take action.

One of the witnesses in this case was his colleague, "Soldier N". It was he who confessed to his wife that the accident in Paris was the result of a deliberate operation.
“The parents of the former wife of the serviceman sent a letter to the commander of the Special Air Service, in which they claimed that their daughter’s former husband had told her about the involvement of the service in the death of Princess Diana,” Scotland Yard notes. “This fact, according to him, has been diligently hiding for a long time.”
Journalists remembered the version that was expressed after the tragedy. When the Mercedes of the princess drove into the tunnel, a flash of light cut through the twilight. A moment later, the car crashed into a pillar of the tunnel. British and French newspapers published a statement by the former British intelligence agent Richard Thomplison that the latest laser rifle had been tested that night in Paris.

From whom did the agents warn? It turns out from the Chinese spies.
“This was one of the craziest moments in the Guardian’s long history,” said Comrade Rasbridger.
The article notes that on the eve of the journalist "Guardian" Glenn Greenwald, who received documents from Snowden, said he was going to act more energetically, publishing materials exposing British secret services.

Miranda was interrogated for nine hours, intimidating him with a prison. Seven agents tortured the journalist with questions about Greenwald and Snowden. The agents justified their actions by the 2000 law on terrorism, which allows any foreign citizens to be detained for interrogation when crossing the border.
