Geopolitical mosaic: Echo of Moscow enjoys the right to freedom of expression, and the NSA can remain without water and light
The power is there, the mind is not necessary. The draft resolution of the UN Security Council proposed by Western countries creates the basis for military intervention in Syria, and in this form Russia intends to block it. This was stated to journalists by the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Gennady Gatilov, reports RIA News".
“He (the draft resolution) is currently preparing, but, unfortunately, he is politicized. Its whole meaning and purpose is to create a base for subsequent forceful actions against the Syrian government in the event of non-compliance with any requirements laid down there. This is very easy to do, since the humanitarian situation is very complicated, ”comrade Gatilov explained.
He noted that the draft resolution proposed by Western countries "creates the basis for subsequent forceful actions."
Immediately made and the main "strongman".
The United States does not consider the use of military force against Syria. This was announced by Barack Obama, speaking at a joint press conference with Francois Hollande, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Kirsanov.
“At present, we do not believe that the problem is a military solution as such,” said the US President.
These indifferent Russians. Barack Obama accused the Russian authorities of indifference to the inhabitants of Syria. Reports about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to France-Presse.
At a press conference with Francois Hollande at the White House, Obama said that Russia is blocking the adoption of a UN resolution that would remove the siege from Homs and many other Syrian cities. According to the President of the United States, while starving civilians remain in Syria, Russia does not have the right to declare that it is concerned about the fate of Syrian citizens.
According to Obama, not only the country's authorities and the opposition, but also Russia, which is blocking the adoption of the UN resolution, are responsible for the plight of the peaceful Syrians. But the other countries participating in the Geneva talks, noted B.H. Obama, demonstrate unanimity on the Syrian issue.
Also, the American president said that Russia is responsible for the implementation by Syria of the terms of the agreement on the destruction of chemical weapons. Obama pointed out that today only a few ships with chemical weapons have been removed from Syria, which is much less than the 700 tons that were planned to be taken out by the end of the 2013 year.
Closed in bulk, or Freedom of speech in Saudi. Saudi authorities have suspended the electronic publication of 41 due to the lack of registration of these media. This was reported by satellite TV channel "Sky News Arabya", reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Vasily Vavilin.
“The main reason for this was the lack of licenses from these newspapers and blogs, as well as the fact that they are the basis for social unrest,” said a representative of the Ministry of Culture and Information Abdel Aziz al-Mulhem to the television channel. “Closing them is the best way to solve problems. The way in which the ministry goes is for the benefit of all, so it will be developed, as they say, responsible freedom (words). ”
Brilliant solution, add on my own. Even no words. "Closing them is the best way to solve problems." Better freedom of speech - where there is no word. Then there will be no one to answer for the words. And society will not have to worry. In principle, you can go further and disconnect this vibrant society from the Internet altogether. It is even better to prohibit the Internet on pain of confiscation of property and truncation of the head. And then announce the final triumph of a developed democracy in Saudi Arabia and report back to Obama.
Livia can roll over. A military coup is being prepared in Libya, Omar Khmaydan, the official representative of the General National Congress, said. It is reported by the Egyptian agency "MENA", reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Tarasov.

Fule talked with the leaders of the Ukrainian opposition. European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule met with the leaders of the Ukrainian opposition and discussed with them the issues of resolving the crisis in Ukraine. Reports about it ITAR-TASS.
“Before negotiating with the president, the European Commissioner once again wanted to know the opposition’s opinion on the options for resolving the crisis and to place key accents to find a compromise,” said Vitali Klitschko after the meeting.
In turn, Arseniy Yatsenyuk said: “We have just completed a discussion with our European partners about how we see the new Ukrainian constitution, the new composition of the Cabinet, the new program of action for the country and the new economic program. We want to hear from Yanukovych - is he ready for this. ”
The philosopher Levi turned to the Cossacks, Jews, Tatars, Poles, townspeople, village women and Ukrainians, both Western and Eastern. The newspaper "Le Monde" published the text of the speech of the French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, which he uttered on the Maidan 9 in February (the source of the short translation is "Inopressa").
“The people of Maidan! - turned to the audience Levi. - Now all the peoples of Ukraine have gathered on this square. Western Ukrainians and Eastern Ukrainians. Townsmen and villagers. Tatars and Poles. Cossacks and Jews. Here are the grandchildren of those who survived the Holodomor — a Stalin-starved killing by famine — and the Babi Yar is a terrifying symbol of the Holocaust by the executioners. ”
“In Paris we have the Place de la Bastille, where the French people were formed. You have Maidan, where the Ukrainian people are now being formed. For a citizen of the homeland of human rights it is very touching to be a witness of this exceptional historical moment, which only great nations have, ”the writer said.
Further, the speaker stressed: “You, the people of Maidan, have a dream that unites you, and this dream is Europe. Not Europe accountants, but Europe values. Not Europe bureaucrats, but Europe of the spirit. Europe is not tired of itself, doubting its purpose and meaning, but passionate, ardent, heroic Europe. ”
“I am a French citizen, I am a European federalist, but today, on the Maidan, who reminded Europe of its primary vocation, I am also a Ukrainian,” Levy said.
“You give flesh to the European project. You return the content and the program to him. You give the idea of Europe not only "cleaner" (as one French poet said), but also a more precise and richer meaning, the writer said from the scene. “That's why I think true Europe is here.” That is why the real Europeans gathered on the Maidan. That is why Ukraine is not a vassal of the Russian empire, begging for the right to reunite with Europe, but - at least at this moment - the beating heart of the continent, and Kiev is its capital ”.
Bernard-Henri Levy concluded the speech with these words: “That’s why you will win. That is why you will prevail over Mr. Vladimir Putin and his footman Viktor Yanukovych. I say to you: welcome to Europe. ”
It’s absolutely wonderful, we’ll add from ourselves, Levy’s two theses are being clarified: 1) Kiev began to compete with Brussels; 2) in Ukraine (more precisely, in Europe) a new nation was formed: “the people of Maidan”.

Oppositionists accused an activist of stealing protesters money. “When he refused the charges and said that he didn’t take the money, the men tied his hands, thrust him into a car and took him under a bridge on Naberezhno-Lugovoi Street. There they continued to beat the victim and demand a refund, ”the Ministry of Internal Affairs notes.

Agree or disagree? Viktor Yanukovych is ready to hold televised debates with Vitali Klitschko. Ukrainian News reported this to the press service of the head of state in response to the relevant request, "Lenta.ru".
“The practice of holding such debates exists in all civilized countries. To make this debate as accessible as possible to the general public, and not just to the audience that is located on Maidan Nezalezhnosti, it is proposed to hold them on one of the national TV channels, ”the answer says.
But this is only half the news.
Vitali Klitschko refused to televised debates with Viktor Yanukovych. He wrote about this on his Facebook page, reports ITAR-TASS.
“I am ready to take part in a television debate with Yanukovych. But first he must take one courageous step. In that acute political and economic crisis, to which Ukraine’s power brought Ukraine, to recognize its responsibility and resign.

Puski wanted Duma chairs. The pussies from Pussy Riot are going to take part in the September elections to the Moscow City Duma. This was written by the editors of “La Repubblica” (the source of the short translation is "Inopressa").
“Among the rivals of Putin’s United Russia party in the September elections to the Moscow City Duma will also be members of the Pussy Riot group. Two girls, pardoned thanks to the amnesty before Christmas, announced their plans during a press conference in Berlin. Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova intend to submit their candidacies from the human rights organization Zona prava, which will work to improve the conditions of detention of prisoners, ”the newspaper writes.
The newspaper continues: “Two participants of Pussy Riot will have to reckon with a fall in support and sympathy from the same anti-Putin oppositionists who did not like the behavior of girls after their release: participation in talk shows, interviews with an over-emphasis on the identity of two activists, but the main thing is participation in a concert organized by Madonna in New York. The other 6 members of the group distanced themselves from their two girlfriends, saying that the fight against the regime should be more specific and less spectacular. ”
Mark Adomanis about Viktor Shenderovich and political deafness. An article by progressive journalist Mark Adomanis titled “Did you like the performance of Yulia Lipnitskaya?” Was published in Forbes. In this case, you are a Nazi, the leading Russian oppositionist believes. ” "InoSMI").
According to the author, for a normal adult, the Olympic performance of Yulia Lipnitskaya is in no way connected with politics and with the “terrible Vladimir Putin.” However, one of the leading "liberal" oppositionists in Russia, namely Viktor Shenderovich, has a different opinion, Adomanis writes.
“I really like this girl skating. Highly! But if you knew how Berliners in the summer of 1936 liked the shot putter Hans Wöhlke, the first German athletics champion, smiling guy, handsome, symbolizing the youth of new Germany!
Something, however, prevents us today from enjoying his victory. Not otherwise, we are aware of the final price of this sporting feat - the price, which included both Dachau, Coventry, and Leningrad ... It was not Hans’s fault, of course, but it turned out that he contributed. ”
So it turns out that our friend Hans Velke directly contributed to the horrors of Nazism. Looks like he was an officer in a police battalion that committed numerous war crimes in occupied Belarus and in Ukraine. And in theory, it turns out that Shenderovich is trying to equate morally Julius Lipnitskaya to a man who served in one of the punitive divisions of the German army. The criticism of loffe, about which I spoke earlier, is flattering praise in comparison with such wicked and idiotic deception. ”
And if Hans was not a Nazi criminal, but was a pleasant young guy, the journalist writes, “Shenderovich still carries nonsense.” According to the author, “only a man who has lost his mind will compare what is happening today in Russia with the Nazi death camps or the war of conquest, in which tens of millions of innocent people died”. Adomanis writes: “Phrases like“ Putin is Hitler ”are not an irresistible criticism of the Russian authorities. They just make you look like an idiot. ”
Echo of Moscow enjoys the right to freedom of expression. Viktor Shenderovich said that he sees no reason for apologies for posting on the blog on the Echo of Moscow website, which Vladimir Vasiliev, the leader of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, considered offensive to be insulting. He writes about it Interfax.
“In my text a perfectly clear idea was expressed, a completely clear factology was given. She does not offend war veterans. Read text about 200 thousands of people. Among them, I believe, there are a huge number of people like me, children and grandchildren who fought. But only the head of the United Russia faction was offended, ”Mr. Shenderovich told Interfax.
The editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov, also spoke with Interfax. He did not see in the text of Shenderovich extremist statements and comparison of the Sochi Olympics with the Olympics-1936 in Berlin. “It seems to me that Mr. Vasiliev was misled because Shenderovich’s blog, in my opinion, contains anti-fascist pathos,” said Venediktov.
He added that the radio station would not apologize to anyone, because Shenderovich’s statement was not broadcast, but was published on the site. Venediktov also stressed that the editorial office of Echo of Moscow does not exercise preliminary censorship. Shenderovich, Mr. Venediktov noted, having published a note on the blog, used the right to freedom of opinion, guaranteed by the Constitution.
"Interfax" recalls that earlier the publication caused outrage the Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Vladimir Vasiliev. He stated that the parallel drawn by Shenderovich was puzzling and I should apologize for it. “We have a situation with“ Rain. ” Now the information has been heard on Echo, which, I think, will have to apologize, ”said Vasilyev, speaking at a meeting of the State Duma on Tuesday as part of the“ hour of statements ”from the factions. The deputy considered that the comparisons made by Shenderovich are “essentially fascist”.
"Rain" will be checked for corruption. The State Duma will appeal to the Ministry of Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation in order to check the conditions under which the Dozhd TV channel received preferential access to cable networks. The draft protocol order, prepared by LDPR deputy Vadim Dengin, was adopted yesterday by the Duma Committee on Information Policy, reports Interfax.
Dengin declared “serious reasons” to assume that the broadcasting of “Rain” by the operators was free of charge. According to the deputy, such favorable conditions of the channel could be provided with the help of an administrative resource. Now the parliamentarian is going to find out which of the employees of the executive authorities contributed to the decision-making on preferential access of “Dozhd” to cable and satellite channels.
The existence of corruption motives in the decisions on “Rain” will be checked by the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption.
"Interfax" recalls that previously in connection with the financing of "Dozhd" suspected former finance minister Alexei Kudrin. Sergei Neverov, Vice-Speaker of the State Duma from United Russia, spoke about a possible link between launching the channel and allocating 135 billion rubles from the Ministry of Finance to Alexander Vinokurov's investment bank KIT Finance in 2008.
Natalia Sindeeva, the general director of the TV channel, earlier denied rumors that “Rain” allegedly enjoyed the support of Dmitry Medvedev. According to Sindeeva, support from Medvedev was to invite Dozhd on a par with federal channels to their interviews.
Ten million citizenship. The FMS and the Ministry of Economy have developed a bill proposing to grant Russian citizenship to foreigners who have invested up to 10 million. to the economy of the Russian Federation, and to foreign students who graduated from colleges and universities in the Russian Federation, while working in Russia for at least three years. This is written by Gregory Tumanov and Dmitry Butrin (Kommersant).
Amendments to Art. 14 of the Law "On Citizenship of the Russian Federation" concerning the simplified procedure for granting citizenship, were discussed in the government and will soon be submitted to the State Duma. The amendments were developed within the framework of the implementation of the concept of state migration policy for the 2012-2015 years. One of the objectives of the concept is “the relocation to a permanent place of residence of specialists of different profiles, entrepreneurs and investors, as well as the promotion of young people with demanded professions and specialties”.
The document proposes to take advantage of European experience in the granting of citizenship. In Austria, the applicant must invest at least 6 million euros in the country's economy, and in Bulgaria - at least 512 thousand euros in the so-called priority investment projects. Individual entrepreneurs who have worked in the Russian Federation for at least three years will be able to apply for Russian citizenship if their annual revenue is at least 10 million rubles. In addition, investors will be able to obtain citizenship, whose share in the authorized capital of a Russian legal entity is at least 10%. At the same time, the authorized capital must be at least 100 mln. Rub.
The following innovation concerns foreign students who, since 1 July 2002, have received vocational education and by the time they applied for citizenship they had worked in the territory of the Russian Federation for three years.
"Lord, bless Putin." February 7 at the Sochi station "Street preachers" from the United States organized a rally in support of Putin’s decision to ban the propaganda of homosexuality in Russia, reports kazanfirst.ru.
Activists of the American movement “Street Preachers” on the opening day of the Olympics at the Sochi station held a picket in support of the Russian president and opposed same-sex love.
Here is the slogan in Russian on the poster:
The second poster was in English: “Homo sex is sin” (“Homosexuality is a sin”).
How it would be in blessed America. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games forced to stop talking about the fact that the Winter Olympics - a scam for 50 billions. The atmosphere of sports in Sochi removes the issue of infringement of LGBT rights. Despite this, the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza writes, similar themes are still being raised in the Western press. However, if the 2014 Games were held not in Russia, but in the USA, everything would be much worse, I'm sure Polish journalist Mariusz Zavadsky is sure. This is explained in the article. "RT".
“And what would have happened if the Winter Olympics-2014 did not take place in Sochi, but, for example, in the city of Aspen in Colorado? What would the current attendants say then? ”- asks the author of the article.
Americans might be asked: why is the Olympiad held in the most militarized country of the world, which spends almost as much on armaments as all the other countries combined?
The use of the death penalty in the United States, which in some states is also carried out by barbaric methods, could also provoke a wave of criticism.
There would be a question about why the Olympiad is held in a state that holds in its prisons 2,5 million of its own citizens?
The American authorities would not have been able to get away from the issue of mass surveillance of millions of citizens.
In addition, in Aspen from January 1, marijuana is legally sold. The world community will immediately have a reason to think about what example the hosts of the Games serve the youth of the whole world ...
Donald Trump thinks Russians are smarter than Americans. US media criticize the Olympics in Sochi, picking on every little thing, said billionaire Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News. According to the businessman, it is not beneficial for the United States to turn Russians against itself. In addition, Moscow has shown that it is able to outwit Washington. The words of the billionaire leads "RT".
Trump noted that in many cases Russia manages to outwit the United States. This applies to Syria, and not only her. “Listen, I love our country, but we need to somehow get along with others,” said the American.
Trump watched the opening ceremony of the Games. He noted: "Let's say that this is a well-done job." In his opinion, do not quibble. “They don’t like food, they don’t like it, I don’t know. In my opinion, this is not so important. I think we should give them credit. And then we will win something important because they will not be so inclined against us, ”said Trump.
Glenn Greenwald project launched. The new site, edited by Glenn Greenwald and funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, featured two articles about US government surveillance. The Intercept website reported that the US NSA used cell phone geolocation to identify targets for US strikes. drones abroad, and published previously unknown photographs of American intelligence facilities, writes The Guardian journalist Tom McCarthy (source abbr. translation - "Inopressa").
Editors to the site, including Greenwald, reported that the site will be engaged in publications based on documents disclosed by Snowden. "At first, we will focus primarily on the NSA," the editorial said in a statement.
Mr. Obama, stop spying. Representatives of US high-tech companies (“Google”, “Microsoft”, “Yahoo”, “Facebook”) sent a letter to the President of the United States and Congress asking them to stop electronic espionage, "Voice of Russia" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
The corporate initiative has become part of an international campaign yesterday to combat the collection of personal user data. Dissatisfied with the practice of data collection on the Internet, they sent over 40 thousands of e-mails to members of the US Congress calling for amendments to the legislation and restricting the powers of the special services.
Mark Zuckerberg, who joined the action, says: "Reports on government surveillance programs show that there is a real need for more openness and new restrictions on how governments collect information."
Larry Page agreed with him (“Google”). He said that the privacy of users is at risk because of "the obvious massive data collection conducted by many governments around the world in secret and without independent control."
Verizon and AT&T, the largest cellular operators in the United States that work closely with the NSA and transmit customer data to intelligence agencies, refrained from accusing the government.
“Google”, “Microsoft” and others, as we think, also come in formally rather than on the assumption that the government will turn off “Big Brother”. A huge number of officials who feed on various projects, including total surveillance and wiretapping, have nothing to do with “users”. They are interested in budgets, and they will do everything so that the congressmen would obey them like trained animals. And they obey - if we recall that the NSA interception affects even senators. The ones that legally allow such wiretapping.
Without water and without light! A bill has been passed to the House of Delegates of Maryland according to which the NSA headquarters located in the state should be deprived of water and electricity. This was reported on the website of the public organization “Tenth Amendment Center” (TAC), which stands for limiting the powers of the US federal government, writes "Lenta.ru".
As reported by Fox News, the authors of the bill were eight Republican legislators sitting in the Maryland House of Delegates. In accordance with the proposal of these comrades, the state authorities should disrupt the work of the NSA using all available means.
The agency should be denied access to both public and private infrastructure. NSA is invited to leave without the help of public universities that can provide it with its research resources.
Violators of the ban will face imprisonment for up to a year and a fine of up to five thousand dollars. It is proposed to dismiss them and prohibit them from holding public office.
It is proposed to use sanctions against the NSA until it closes the program for collecting metadata about phone calls and information about electronic correspondence.
Earlier, similar bills were submitted to the legislative assemblies of Arizona, California, Tennessee, Washington and other states. In all cases, the concept developed in the TAC was adopted.
Violators of the constitution from the NSA, we add, you can still block the sewers in the building. We also propose to deprive them of a driver's license, prohibit them from drinking alcohol and using the Internet.
Hollande - with an actress, Obama - with a singer. French media on Monday reported a possible romance of the US President and the famous singer Beyonce, writes "Sight".
The news is confirmed by the photographer Pascal Rostain, who proved the betrayal of the French president's common-law wife Valerie Trierweiler, according to Elle magazine, citing National Enquire.
The photographer gave assurances that 11 February, “The Washington Post” is going to release material on this topic. “A big scandal is brewing in the United States. The link between President Barack Obama and singer Beyoncé is supposed. I can assure you that the world will talk about it, ”said Rostein.
Earlier, the American tabloid "The Nation", citing an anonymous source close to the family of the President of the United States, said that the crisis in the relations of spouses came a long time ago. They have been sleeping in different rooms for some time.
“Their marriage is doomed. Over the years, they tried to maintain relationships for the sake of their daughters and political careers, ”an anonymous source said.
However, as noted LifeNews, “Washington Post” rumors about the publication of the article denied. The channel also reminds that the appearance of rumors about the betrayal of Obama coincided with the visit of Francois Hollande to the United States. Journalists noted that Hollande flew alone: the common-law spouse broke off relations with him a month ago. And Obama met a colleague too alone ...
Do not worry, gentlemen presidents, add on my own. You both promote same-sex love in your countries. Think on this topic.
