Results of the week. "Well, do not change me because of every idiot!"
In the middle of the week, Yury Chaika, the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, told the legislators about the areas in which the rights of Russian citizens are most often violated, how many people received unfair sentences, and where the media would have been restrain your information. So, about the heat ... According to Yuri Chaika, the Russian media, based on the fact of the so-called gambling case (the case of the Moscow region prosecutors), launched a campaign that does not have a quote: nothing in common with the interests of justice.
Gambling made a lot of noise in Russia. At its first stages, it would have seemed naive to say that in the “clashes” between the investigating authorities and the prosecutors, they were the first to take over. Photos, the testimony of witnesses, the presence of, strictly speaking, illegal casinos - it would seem, everything should have led to high-profile “landings”. But the folklore, which says that if something seems to be necessary, it is necessary to be baptized, this time, too, hit the bull's eye ... Only in this case, the sign of the cross was not even made by those who “suspected prosecutors that something was wrong”, directly by the Prosecutor General’s Office in the person of its head Yuri Chaika. Yuri Yakovlevich directly from the podium verbally “crossed over” the media, which “launched the campaign,” and everything became clear to all: the prosecutors were not guilty of anything ... Well, so what if the illegal casinos worked and, they say, - where they still continue to work ... Well, so what if even the businessman himself, who owned gambling clubs, gave detailed testimony. Is this a reason for someone to suspect something? .. Of course not. Finally, enlightenment descended, otherwise completely innocent people would be condemned. Ugh-f, from what irreparable mistakes carried! ..

Employees of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation were detained in Moscow and taken for interrogation to St. Petersburg in the case of fraud in Shipbuilding Plant Severnaya Verf OJSC Ilya Novoselsky. Previously, he served as head of the legal department of United Shipbuilding Corporation. According to media reports, Ilya Novoselsky participated in the preparation of basic transactions of USC.
Interesting information. And in fact, if she appeared in the media, say, at least a year and a half or two ago, the reaction would be very violent. Like, caught - shot, quartered, on an electric chair, etc ... But now the work of the RF IC, prosecutors and the judiciary, when it comes to high-profile corruption and fraud crimes, makes reacting to this kind of information much more restrained. After all, for a not so long period of time, we were able to be accustomed to the fact that the act considered to be fraud today may well become a) negligence, b) the error of the investigation - tomorrow. So now the end of the proceedings on the USC case to wait that way in 2018 (and even 2118 ...) in the year, by the time of which the last investigator who worked on this case will retire ...

Minister with the inspection in the Far East
Russian Defense Minister Army General Sergei Shoigu on Monday arrived in the Far East on a working trip to assess the condition of the Pacific submarine forces fleet. Shoigu heard reports of the commanders of the BBO and the Pacific Fleet on the development of a submarine-based system as part of the tasks of modernizing the Armed Forces until 2020.
During the inspection visit, the Minister of Defense visited Vladivostok and assessed the preparations for the construction of the French-made Mistral helicopter carrier base system. The system itself, which was called "Ulysses", if you believe the plans, will have to appear in the bay by the end of 2017. During the work it is planned to create a complex with an equipped mooring front of about 2,7 km. At the same time, the Defense Ministry plans to completely replace the infrastructure (water and power supply systems) of the site. Where exactly and why helicopters of the Ulysses will "wear" helicopters, it is not entirely clear, but orders, as we know, are not discussed ...
Sergey Shoigu also visited Kamchatka. It is in Kamchatka Vilyuchinsk that the latest Russian underwater nuclear submarines of the Borey project will be based on a permanent basis. The minister was interested in the preparation of all engineering structures for the arrival of the submarines of this project. Representatives Spetsstroy said that all the necessary work will be completed in Vilyuchinsk, quote: "no later than the fourth quarter of this year."
For inspection, Sergei Shoigu also visited the Khabarovsk Territory - in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Here the head of the defense department visited the shipbuilding and aircraft building factories and took part in the transfer of 12-ti "fresh" Su-35С to the fighter air regiment of the BBO.

At the regular session, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine was going to consider amendments to the Constitution. But the matter did not go further than intentions, because representatives of the Ukrainian opposition could not agree on the main issues. The EU foreign ministers also did not reach an agreement at a meeting in Brussels about possible measures towards Ukraine, but they were unanimous that Ukraine would not receive any economic assistance.
In the meantime, the Ukrainian opposition understands how “opposition” it is, and from which side it will be more correct to approach the government, the political and economic crisis in the country is aggravated. Fitch Agency once again lowered the rating level of the Ukrainian economy, bringing it to the value of "CCC", which corresponds to the default value. Fitch specialists explained their decision by saying that Russia temporarily restricted financial inflows to Ukraine (the next tranche will be sent to Kiev in the event that a new government appears (and becomes established) in Ukraine — at least, it was in this spirit that the Russian authorities spoke) therefore, the Ukrainian economy is at the end of its line, which separates it from default. The previous tranche of Russia in the amount of 3 billion dollars was transferred to Kiev at the end of last year, but it almost completely went to pay off other debts of Ukraine.
A few days before the Fitch specialists decided to lower the Ukrainian economic rating of Ukraine, Moody's lowered the rating of Ukraine. This agency lowered the Ukrainian economy to a state of Caa2 with a negative outlook. Today it is the worst rating indicator among all European countries (meaning Europe as a continent), apart from the fact that, for example, with regard to Moldova, most of the rating agencies have completely stopped “charging” ratings ...
If in the near future the Ukrainian authorities do not take effective steps, the Ukrainian economy can repeat the fate of the Russian economy in the 1998 year. And the longer the Maidan show is delayed, the higher the likelihood of default, the consequences of which in the Ukrainian case may even affect the integrity of the country. The southeast of Ukraine already now declares that it does not intend to feed from the spoon forever subsidized and in addition fascist zapadentsev. Will they be fed "from that side"? ..

Did those who have nothing to eat come to Kiev from Lviv or Ternopil? Are those who have hungry children at home? Unemployed come to demand work? No and no again! Well-fed, aggressive fighters arrived, whom their leaders promised a European freebie. Buses and trains carried an army of fattened and trained attack aircraft to Kiev, who were assigned specific combat missions. All this was preceded by a long and careful preparation, and there is nothing in common with the economy here. Coups committed not for economic reform, but for the seizure of power, a partial or complete change of the existing system in the interests of specific individuals or organizations. And this is not a people at all. Independence was planned in advance, and no reforms could not stop it.

Deny denial
Only one reading is left to go through the bill “on the denial of the Soviet and Nazi occupation” in the Latvian Sejm, so that this bill would actually become a full-fledged legally significant document - a new Latvian dogma. Gentlemen from the Latvian Ministry of Justice introduced the bill for consideration to parliament at the time, who decided not only to secure the term “occupation” for the Soviet period of the republic’s development, in fact identifying it with the Nazi occupation of the republic, but also intimidating those who consider that “Soviet occupation” is nonsense, invented by the puppet leaders of Latvia of a new formation.
It is obvious that the very essence of this bill is to receive the next portion of tumultuous and non-stop (naturally turning into applause) applause from Western puppeteers. After all, the bill itself, which is too cunning - it seems there is “for denying the Nazi occupation” ... But everyone understands perfectly well that it is aimed specifically at new persecutions against Russian and Russian-speaking Latvians, and therefore against Russia . Here, in principle, there is nothing surprising - trying to somehow yelp at Russia - this is the “policy” of the Latvian leadership - let's say, the built-in option that almost all representatives of the highest authorities of this state regularly use. It seems that without a "flashing" is definitely not enough ...

Olympiadofrenia
And for some reason, it is not at all surprising that immediately after the start of the Sochi Olympics, the hyperliberal serpentarium opened its doors and windows, from where synchronous, hissing immediately began to spread like a wave of an invisible conductor. Those gentlemen and ladies were identified who recently developed such an option as the transformation of proteins, fats and carbohydrates absorbed after a meal into a toxic substance released into the space during a conversation or publication of materials at suitable sites. Hissing, diseases do not quench - poison has accumulated in the glands a lot - you need to look for variations for its use - right up to the itch, you see, it comes. Therefore, the Olympiad is like a salvation for the aforementioned type of ladies with gentlemen - salvation with the poisoning of poison, overflowing.
The gentlemen from the hyperliberal party continued to exercise in their unhealthy associations about the Olympic Games in Sochi. For example, in the skull box of Mr. Shenderovich, there was a thought that Sochi-2014 and Berlin-1936 are one berry field, and, for example, the successes of young figure skater Yulia Lipnitskaya are aimed solely at raising the rating of Vladimir Putin. Heydar Jemal "was horrified" by "paganism" at the opening of the Olympiad and called participation in the Games of Muslim countries almost immoral. Mrs. Sobchak spoke about the fact that the “Olympic” funds should have been sent to help education and health care (perhaps even to promote the “educational” project “House-2”), and also mentioned the term “immorality”. Yes, yes - the very Ksenia Sobchak, which for millions of Russians directly associated with the term. After such statements, you can add a new chapter to the textbooks on psychiatry - “Olympiadophobia” or even “Olympiadofrenia” with examples of specific “carriers”, apparently no longer curable ...

"Peter" in Cyprus
The nuclear-powered missile cruiser of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation "Peter the Great", who heads the operational connection of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean, made a business call at the port of Limassol (the Republic of Cyprus). The visit of the Russian navy men to the port of Limassol was already the second in the course of the fulfillment of the long-range missions.
The long march of the sailors of Peter the Great began on October 22 of the year 2013. One of the main tasks currently assigned to the crew of the cruiser, is to ensure the safe removal of chemical weapons.
It is gratifying to realize that the domestic fleet has actually returned to the Mediterranean, a region whose strategic importance is extremely difficult to overestimate. Multipolarity is restored at least in a particular region. More than 20-year NATO hegemony comes to an end here, and at this stage of Russia's development it is an important success. Now success can only consolidate, not forgetting about the other major areas.

Rapid Response Forces
The United States will give Georgia money and will be the best to promote Georgia into NATO. The press writes that the "connection" of Tbilisi to the North Atlantic Alliance is necessary for Washington in order to gain leverage over Moscow. Georgian parliamentarians say that rapprochement with NATO will increase Georgia’s security guarantees.
During a joint press conference with the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee General Knud Bartels, Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Alasania made a statement that the United States would sponsor the inclusion of Georgia in the NATO rapid reaction force. He writes about it Gazeta.Ru.
As Alasania pointed out, Georgia will join the rapid reaction force from 2015: “A decision has already been made that Georgia will become part of the NATO rapid reaction force from 2015, and the sponsor state has already been chosen, this is the United States of America.” He noted that this fact means: Georgia’s cooperation with NATO has risen to a new level.
On the "Voice of America" An article by Nestan Charkviani was published in 12.02.2014, stating that during the two-day visit of 11 and 12 in February, General Knud Bartels met with the President of Georgia, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense. In the press comments, Mr. Bartels noted that “constructive, pragmatic and exemplary” cooperation had developed between Georgia and the North Atlantic Alliance.
Bartels thanked the Georgian military for their contribution to the NATO peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan. About 1560 Georgian peacekeepers serve in Afghanistan, i.e. Georgia today is the largest member of the international coalition among non-NATO countries. “This dynamism from the point of view of military involvement is an important demonstration of Georgia’s loyalty to NATO, and we look forward to deepening military cooperation after 2014,” said the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.
President Georgy Margvelashvili said that Georgia is ready to provide its territory for the withdrawal of coalition troops from Afghanistan. The Georgian president expressed the hope that at the next NATO summit in Wales in September, the “efforts of Georgia” will receive a corresponding assessment from the member countries of the Alliance and that this “will ensure the transition to a new stage of relations” between Georgia and NATO.
N. Charkviani writes further that the chairman of the Georgian parliament, David Usupashvili, said: integration into NATO is “vital” for Georgia. “A rapprochement with NATO will increase the guarantees of our security; accordingly, this position of the American congressmen is very important. Like congressmen, members of parliaments of almost all countries (NATO members) declare their support, so we are optimistic, ”Usupashvili said in an interview with journalists.
However, on our way to NATO, we add from our own words, the Georgians will have to solve the issue of territorial "problems". Those who have not resolved such issues are not allowed by the Alliance into their militarist ranks. As a result, Tbilisi may have to recognize the “occupied” territories. Do the Georgian authorities and parliamentarians really expect NATO to help Georgia defeat the Russians? Mercy, it's funny and naive. NATO will exploit Georgia in the same way as it does today. Georgia is the largest ISAF member among non-NATO countries. Georgia will also help the US with the withdrawal of contingent from Afghanistan. This is why the impoverished Alliance Georgia is primarily needed. No one is going to take on the first roles of “Georgia” in NATO. Any integration is beneficial primarily to the gentlemen "integrators", and those who "integrate" are doomed mainly to feed on their own illusions and dreams.

Example for Yanukovych
“The assertion that the US government is funding the protests is nonsense. I did not see any facts that would prove this, ”said former US Ambassador to Ukraine Stephen Peifer. His words are given by V. B. ("Controversy").
However, the needs of the Maidan every day goes (by the most conservative estimates) 300 thousand hryvnia. This is what commandant Andrii Paruby said in January:
The controversy analyst estimated and counted that since December 1 only about food and livelihoods of maydanschikov was spent (only Parubiy) about 3 million dollars. But there is not only his militants and the environment is, the author notes.
"Oh, guys!" - add on my own. Whatever wrote about Obama or there about Hollande, but each of them would be enough for a couple of hours, with the power of one night, to disperse this kind of "maydanschikov." Hollande recently broke up a protest against the government in Paris. The Interior Ministry authorities arrested a 262 man. And that's all - no more protests. The American executive, struggling with Occupy Wall Street, took the sites and “sewed” the affairs of more than 6 to thousands of activists of this movement. And where is this “movement” now? But both the United States and France consider themselves to be advanced democratic countries, and Obama has not so long ago said that unrest and meetings mean the manifestation of democratic processes. To the extent to which words and deeds in the West diverge, all have long been accustomed. It's about something else: if the people of the "eastern democracies" were born to Europe and were drawn to the EU, then their rulers should not listen to the false talk of the West, but be judged "by his deeds." The main thing, should follow an example from the West!
In short, Yanukovych must act in a European or American way and publicly declare: "I am learning from French democracy." And I must learn! I dispersed the maydanschikov - and said on TV: “There is even more democracy in Kiev. Passed another rally. He was democratically suppressed by democratic means: tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets. Two hundred people were arrested, including opposition leaders. They are suspected of rape, murder, arson, robbery, extortion, Nazi propaganda, treason, and petty hooliganism. The prosecutor will demand 25 years for them for the camps. Monsieur Hollande, thanks for the recipe. ” After these words, the EU will not give Yanukovych a loan in the same way as it will not give it without these words.

The newspaper "Le Monde" published an article by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova "The Common People" (a source of short translation. - "Inopressa").
N. Tolokonnikova writes: “Being imprisoned, I intersected many times with the so-called“ simple people ”, which, as we have been told more than once, are ready to kiss Vladimir Putin in the navel and to hate Pussy Riot and other sodomites. It turned out that the love for Vladimir Putin was invented in the apparatus of Vladimir Putin, as well as the hatred of “Pussy Riot”.
The article further states: “Russia has far less exalted Stalinists than is commonly thought. The Russians want to be respected as an individual, so that their needs and their values are listened to. And this “simple people,” entirely created by federal television, is soberly and ironically judging Putin’s rule. ”
“People live in anticipation of a political apocalypse,” said a Pussy Riot participant.
“One day we may end up on one side of the barricades,” the guard of one of the Mordovian colonies told me. “It’s curious how: you have uniform on your uniform,” I tried to joke. “Very simple,” replied the guard. - I did not swear to the state. Take off my shoulder straps and go with you. When? When will the rebellion. Merciless Russian revolt.

“We know the measure, but will you drink it?”
This week has been published World Press Freedom Index - 2014. Russia in the ranking took as much 148-place. In the first place - Finland. USA - on 46. Ahead of a democratic and freedom-loving America are countries such as Romania, Papua New Guinea, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Botswana and others. China is on the 175 location. Eritrea closes the rating (180-place).
“In terms of media freedom, at first glance it seems that democratic powers are leading here. And for the most part it is. But, as the press freedom index of 2014's Reporters Without Borders organization shows, their high rating is accompanied by important reservations, ”says Anna Kordunski (“ The Christian Science Monitor ”; the source of short translation is "Inopressa").
The authors of the ranking moved the US to 13 points down compared to last year. This is due to the prosecution of Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden. Britain's position has weakened (albeit only on the 3 point) due to the oppression of the newspaper The Guardian.
Violent conflicts put a number of states at the end of the list: Syria (177-th place), Democratic Republic of Congo (151-th place) and Mali (122-th place).
Other forms of violence endanger journalists outside of war zones. One such force is organized crime. Brazil is named one of the most dangerous places for journalists in the South American continent.
In Russia, which occupies the 148-place, increased prosecution of bloggers. This happened on the eve of the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Bloggers are harassed in China and Egypt.
And in our esteemed opinion, journalists, making their annual ratings, simply drink and snack. And the second they clearly prefer the first. "Reporters Without Borders," say? Exactly. “We know the measure, but will you drink it?”

Money does not smell
Corruption has raged all over Europe. There are no exceptions: it turned out that not a single EU country is free from the hard work of bribe-takers who are firmly fused with the greedy bureaucrats from the state apparatus. Recently, Eurostat conducted the first study (apparently, sociologists did not believe in European corruption before) in the 28 countries of the European Union. And now, from the newspapers and the Internet, enlightened Europeans with dismay learned that the word “corruption” is well applied not only to “Putin's Olympics”. And not only they found out, but they also recalled that quite often they themselves dragged the money to the begging bureaucrat or saw how someone else was pulling it.
Sociologists have found: 76% of European citizens believe that corruption is widespread in Europe. More than half of these same citizens (56 percent) are confident that over the past three years, this type of bribe has risen to unbelievable limits (in the terminology of scientists, it has "increased significantly").
But the largest number: 85% of Europeans said they had witnessed corruption over the past year.
In total, almost one third (32 percent) of companies participating in government tenders and government procurement are confident that their loss is a consequence of corruption. Here are some examples by country: in Bulgaria, 58% of companies think so, in Slovakia - 57%, in Cyprus - 55%.
As noted by the European Commissioner for Domestic Politics Cecilia Malström, in many European countries there are relevant laws to combat corruption. There exist something, but for some reason the matter does not reach constant and universal application. In addition, in her opinion, law enforcement agencies lack resources. And some European countries have sunk to the point that they don’t even have the political will to fight corruption.
So go on, all the corruption will be the one to eat ...
99% of the inhabitants of Greece confirmed that corruption is a common thing. In Italy, 97% of respondents said about the "common thing". The three remaining Italian percentages are, of course, the mafia. She has her own attitude to business.
93% of Romanians believe that corruption is widespread among them. 84% of Bulgarians believe that their corruption is very strong. In 2013, there were even demonstrations against government ties with oligarchs.
The countries with the least corruption are Denmark and Finland.
There are no countries without corruption.
Likhobory thrive in funding political parties, industrialize on the construction of cities, break the bank in health care and guard the construction of roads, Malmstrom said.
Well, this is for some reason not surprising. Those areas in which state and regional authorities are involved, just attract dashing people. The state struggle against corruption is ineffective precisely because the state is the main source of corruption. It would be naive to assume that the authorities will fight with themselves. It is the same as if the robber announced suddenly that he would fight the robbers. Other robbers would have laughed at such a statement for a long time, and then they would have put the boss in an insane asylum.
Where does corruption in the EU come from and why is it indestructible?
"Komsomolskaya Pravda" in Ukraine " published an opinion on the growth of corruption in the EU, Michael Dreher, a professor at the Institute of Political Science at the Friedrich Schiller University (Germany). This man gave an exclusive comment to the channel "BTB".
According to him, the problem of bribery is associated with a reduction in wages in the public sector. It became more difficult for officials to survive on salary alone. Now they are forced to take bribes. They need to support their families.
On this explanation, hardly too convincing, Dreher did not stop.
He further noted that corruption exists not only at a low level of government, but also at the highest political level. True, here her reasons are completely different. The need to take bribes does not arise from questions of survival.
So, so interesting ...
Well, the channel "BTB" got a good expert. All laid out on the shelves. That is, if you are a poor state official, then you take bribes because of poverty: you have to support your family (single officials, undoubtedly, save the capital for the planned family future). If you are a wealthy official who occupies a solid post, then greed awakens in you, and you are already freaking out simply because you cannot stop.
If you follow Dreer's logic, the following will become clear. With the increase in salaries of officials or promotion of their careers, they begin to move the interests of not survival of the family, but greed. That is why, it turns out, corruption is ineradicable. Where survival ends, greed begins.
And without Euro-analytics we did not know that!

A referendum called “Against Mass Immigration”, initiated by Schweizerische Volkspartei (Swiss People’s Party, SNP), was recently held in Switzerland. After counting the votes, it turned out that 50,4% of Swiss people want to return to the quota system for migrants. The constitution will now be amended. Restrictions primarily affect the workforce from the EU, against which the SNP. The party believes that the country cannot host 80 thousands of foreigners a year, who take jobs from the Swiss.
The number of migrants is one fifth of the total population of Switzerland (i.e., combined with migrants). There are almost two million foreigners in the country, plus eight million inhabitants. Party members do not want unemployment to increase in their home country. Well, and something else they don’t want: half of the crimes committed in the country fall on just 20% of migrants.
The European Commission did not like the results of the popular vote. According to the commissioners, the decision of the Swiss violates the principle of freedom of movement.
The Swiss are well aware: the annual influx of migrants into the country will inevitably lead not only to an increase in unemployment (today it is low - only 3,2%), but also to social instability.
Russia, too, should have a closer look at the latest Swiss experience. According to UN data from last year, in Russia there are 11 of millions of migrants. And by the number of their country ranks second in the world. Ahead of the rest of the world - the United States, in third place - Germany.

The Empire Strikes Back
Under Obama, the generals decided that their time had come. Everything. Enough Native America has too much unrest. It's time to tie with democracy. The generals began to tie up with her even under Bush Jr, but he slowed down their undertakings: he sent them far away — either to Afghanistan or to Iraq (which he never found on the map). With Obama, during which the financial crisis inherited from Bush Junior developed in the USA, the generals apparently got along. And who did not get along - like, for example, Robert Gates, Leon Panetta or David Petraeus - they are already retired.
Not so long ago in a blog The Guardian an article was published by the executive director of the Institute for Political Research and Development, Dr. Nafiz Ahmed (Nafeez Ahmed), shedding light on some of the power initiatives of the American military machine. We are talking about the use of this machine not abroad (for the sake of the notorious national security of Uncle Sam), but inside the country, to pacify those who have to shoot and who have to be arrested with bundles.
In 2008, the US Army Institute for Strategic Studies warned that a crisis could provoke widespread civil unrest. “Destructive internal shock” can lead to “loss of the functioning of the political and legal order,” which will lead to “targeted internal resistance or rebellion ...” Who will save America? Pentagon. “The Ministry of Defense in such circumstances may have to place its vast resources at the disposal of civilian authorities ...” In “extreme” situations, “military force against hostile groups within the United States ...” should be used
In the same 2008 crisis year, the Pentagon began to form an 20-thousandth military compound, designed to respond to the case of "internal disasters" or "civil unrest". As indicated in the article of the scientist, this program is developed on the basis of the internal security strategy of 2005.
In 2010, the United States Combined Forces Command conducted a study that talked about "jointly developing concept and experiments throughout the Department of Defense": the final US military vision of future trends and potential global threats was outlined. The study also warned of a possible shortage in world oil production by the year 2015.
In May, the Pentagon proposed 2013 to introduce unilateral changes to US laws that formally provide military emergency powers to intervene in “emergencies” or “civil unrest”. The draft explicitly states that federal military commanders have the right in exceptional emergency situations, including in cases where it is impossible to obtain prior permission from the president, to temporarily carry out activities to suppress large-scale and unexpected civil unrest.
According to Nafiz Ahmed, the Pentagon is well aware that environmental, economic and other crises can provoke widespread public discontent with the government and corporations. And this can happen in the very next few years. Snowden's revelations about global programs of interception and monitoring of the NSA are just one indication that business, as usual, creates instability at home and abroad, thereby causing widespread frustration. As a result, the government begins to consider its citizens as potential enemies, and she thinks about the police state ...
The crisis of power in the United States, add to this, which reached a “climax” under B. H. Obama, who could not express himself either in domestic or foreign policy, had already led last year to “turning off the government” for 16 days. Like Obama and Congress, they have extremely low trust ratings. Undoubtedly, Obama will go down in the history of America as one of its worst presidents. And there is no doubt that Obama is doing everything to retain power. It is Obama who oversees the activities of the NSA. And more than once on “VO” we wrote about the procurement by the US Department of Homeland Security of millions of rounds (including sniper rifles), body armor, shields, fireproof checkpoints and camps prepared by the US Emergencies Ministry for future “internees”.
The site fbii.org note that the White House allowed the Pentagon to unilaterally amend the relevant code, called "Support for the protection of civil law enforcement agencies." The US Army has been given authority sufficient to intervene in “emergency situations” or “civil unrest”.
According to lawyers, the amendments will lead to more active participation of the military in all areas of US domestic policy. Bruce Afran, a teacher of constitutional law at Rutgers University, claims that a de facto “extravagant seizure of power by the armed forces” took place. “This is rather disgusting,” he said, “because it negates the long-standing democratic principle that the armed forces should be under civilian control.”
According to analysts of the site, the military will now be able to patrol the streets, interrogate and detain US citizens without notifying the federal police and the approval of local authorities. This is a blow to the independence of the states that have their own police.
So much for the democrat pacifist Obama. Both pacifist Hagel (Secretary of Defense) and pacifist Kerry (Secretary of State). Right holy trinity of totalitarianism.

Republican senator Rand Paul intends in court to prove the illegality of the American intelligence services on wiretapping. It became known that the congressman filed a lawsuit not only against Barack Obama, but also against the head of national intelligence, James Clapper, NSA director Keith Alexander and the FBI head James Komi. Write about it "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
Rand Paul is convinced that collecting data on citizens' telephone calls is contrary to the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights.
“I expect that this case will reach the US Supreme Court, and I predict that the American people will win,” said the senator, who intends to receive the Bill of Rights interpretation from the highest court in the United States.
That's all, Mr. Obama, add on my own, dry crackers. Rand Paul will put you right in Guantanamo, where the methods of George W. Bush's inquiry are still used. There you quickly confess that you were a convinced communist from the moment you were born, you were spying from the student's seat at the Kremlin, and in the Oval Office you received cipher programs from Cuba, addressed to Eustace and signed by Alex.
In fact, everything will be like this: Obama will give another talk on NSA reform, and the judge will explain to comrade Paul that the NSA does not follow citizens at all.
Rand Paul, of course, is unpleasant that all his opposition conversations on his cell phone are printed on the table to Obama.

Two of a Kind
French media on Monday reported a possible romance of the US President and the famous singer Beyonce, writes "Sight".
News confirms photographer Pascal Rostain, who has proved the betrayal of French president's common-law wife, Valerie Trierweiler, reports Elle magazine with reference to 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.

Hollande, again, with a woman twists - in perplexity Paris.
If you have issued a decree that you have linked France with LGBT forever,
So be the muzhik: throw the woman and live among "lad"!
Putin's century
“In fact, I was driving in Berlinale, but during the trip I suddenly fell asleep, and when I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw that we were arriving in Sochi and not George Clooney was sitting in front of me, but Putin with a bare torso,” describes his fictional dream Erik Hansen, a journalist for the German newspaper Die Zeit (source of abbr. translation - "Inopressa"). “In a panic, I shouted that I got on the wrong bus, but the Russian president took me by the hand and asked why I reacted in this way, because it was also good here.”
“But you are a half dictator,” Hansen said in a dream. “You violate the freedom of speech and the rights of sexual minorities, and besides, there are no normal toilets in Sochi.” Smiling Putin said that "you took all this from the newspapers," and advised you to think about how often half of the truth is found in foreign media.
True, the journalist notes, Putin is right: “The worse the journalists write about any country, the more successful things are going there.”
Putin told the journalist how he “walked along the opposition with an iron fist, just like a king,” adding that, in addition to this, “there are also successes.” After the collapse of the USSR, all of Russia lay in ruins. Who restored it? That's right, Vladimir Putin. This Putin managed to achieve that in the West again began to respect the "Russian bear".
And V. V.P. said something else (playing with a massive silver ring with a seal made of molten silver spoons of the enemies): “Now look at Europe. How many politicians do you respect there? ”
“And then I realized where the prankster was going,” says Hansen. “You can - and you should - hate Putin, but now he really is the most interesting politician in the world.”
As for Europe, Putin knows everything about its future. “By the middle of the century, only Rusrop and a couple of small countries like Germany, Switzerland and, probably, Holland will remain in Europe, who will constantly chase after three world leaders - China, the United States and, of course, Russia,” Putin said. “I will no longer be alive, but this will be my creation, the world that I created, the Putin century.”
Well, add to this, the United States by this time will not fizzle out only if in the 2016 year, the power in the White House will be taken by Jesse Ventura. If Hillary Clinton wins the election, then the United States will either recognize the revolutionary fire of purification, or will finally turn into a totalitarian state with a corporate-prison economy.
