Results of the week. “We can expect everything from these bees”
The American Ambassador John Tefft was tired of the stuffy Moscow, and he decided to take a deep breath of the Pacific air, having recently set off for Vladivostok. Officially - to visit the American consulate in this city, as well as to get acquainted with history Far East of Russia. At least, this is how Tefft’s visit to the other edge of Russia is explained by representatives of the diplomatic mission, which, in turn, are referred to by our news agencies.
During the week, the American ambassador John Tefft once again demonstrated that he feels boyishly cheerful in his 66, although the problems of “stopping Russia” are not diminishing ... Almost at the same time, the American “friend” was preparing for the visit Far East and reacted to the fact that the American Center at the All-Russian Library of Foreign Literature was closed in Moscow.
Tefft could hardly restrain himself: They closed the center! American Center, Barak! And now with secret points became more intense. To meet with local mattresses, you will have to look for new addresses, covering the essence of cultural, ecological, culinary, handicraft and other “metaphysical” topics. Pay attention!
Kisses, Yours Forever, J. Tefft!
PS Send telegrams to Vladivostok in the near future. Imagine, Barak, they also call this ocean the Pacific ... Naive ...

Laurels "Fuhrer" do not give peace? ..
On Sunday, 20 September starts the widely announced “commodity blockade” of the Crimea, announced by the so-called Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars and the Right Sector. The first to prepare for the beginning of the blockade was Refat Chubarov, who calls himself the leader of the Mejlis. According to him, "civil activists" will block all roads leading to the Crimea, "not in relation to people, but in relation to goods supplied through the territory of Ukraine."
So who announced the blockade? - A person who is used to selling his nationality - Mr. Chubarov. There are not many people selling their nationality, but they are there, and the project launched by him from overseas decided, sensing the possibility of PR paid for by a third party, to support even those who used to yell at every post: “there is a Ukrainian ruler here.” Interesting, of course, the action: traitors of the Crimean Tatar people in the face of “Chubarovs” and “Dzhemilevs”, and with them pravoseki, who officially proclaimed the thesis “Ukraine for Ukrainians” ...
And about the blockade, so, apparently, the gentlemen mentioned, the laurels of the "Fuhrer" and his "achievements" in Leningrad do not give rest. Here are just Chubarov and Co. somehow forget that Leonid Govorov will definitely find himself on everyone who is blockading.

When you are “terrorized by the aggressor” day and night, the Ukrainian authorities have to look for “nonlethal weapon"To counter. And when the forecast for the decline of the country's economy for 2015 year corresponds to the value in 16,5%, the search for "non-lethal weapons" turns into something enchanting. Thus, the National Commission of Communications and Information Regulation of Ukraine (NKRSI or NKURSI) decided to join the search for ways to “set the aggressor into place”. The chairman of the National Commission, Alexander Zhivotovsky, recently released a truly unique proposal.
The proposal was for Ukrainian operators to calculate the “transit” Internet traffic — that is, the bits and bytes that passed through the territory (or, perhaps, through the airspace) of Ukraine would be counted. They not only considered the “transit” of traffic, but also, most importantly, would take money for it. For example, from Russia - with whom else ...
The most interesting thing was that NRXI quickly accepted the proposal as a basis and operators who shrugged their shoulders and tried to twist their fingers at their heads, really considered bits with bytes. But if things start to get underway, then you see, in Ukraine there will be departments that will begin to impose duty on the flight of wild ducks, the movement of air masses and border traffic of earthworms and ants ...

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine gave permission (262 votes from 318 registered people's deputies) to the prosecutor’s check and arrest of a deputy from the Radical Party Igor Mosiychuk. According to the statement of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin, Mosiychuk "is suspected of grave and especially grave crimes."
So far in Ukraine, the topic of initiating a criminal case against the general director of Massandra for allegedly treating Vladimir Putin and Silvio Berlusconi with a XUUM wine has been vigorously discussed by the decision of the so-called “prosecutor” of the so-called “Autonomous Republic of Crimea” against the patriot of the patriots of the Ukrainian Kunstkamera. SBU-shny zradniki arrived at the IUU building and tied up (oh, horror!) The very ... Igor Mosiychuk. And, having tied, they took the Maidan lamb to the slaughter ... The official reason for the preparation for the slaughter was voiced by one more threat - the Prosecutor General Shokin, who has his own tooth on the Lyashkivites. The reason he voiced is serious, it’s listed, and Mosiychuk’s particularly serious crimes that for some reason in Ukraine hadn’t been noticed in Ukraine for some reason ... Well, he'll go crazy, you know, a little - kidnap a deputy or a local official, teach the mind and mind together with Lyashko, pushes to the garbage can - because with the chief of the Radical Party onizhedeti ...
In general, the lamb, who had previously threatened Ramzan Kadyrov to gore, is now behind bars. But his posts continue to fill Facebook. How Facebook is filled and the posts of Mr. Lyashko, who called what is happening in Ukraine "return to 1937 year." And if there is a “return”, then a pair of square meters for Mosiychuk can be found for his boss ... What do you say? At what angle? .. Aah, well, yes ... - at that very ...

The archives started talking.
The official website of the Russian embassy in the “Square” territory, which is still being issued by the search engine as the “Russian Embassy in Ukraine”, nevertheless decided to leave “B” and come to the Russian version of “On”. The Internet site of the Russian diplomatic mission received a “cap” on which you can read the “Embassy of the Russian Federation to Ukraine”. It would seem a trifle, and after all the little thing is very talking ...
After a long (1) - long (2) - long (3) - ... - long (N-1) - long (N) hibernation, or siesta, Russian embassy in Ukraine still showed activity. So far - in the electronic version ... The fact is that the official portal of the Russian diplomatic mission in the country, ancestors in which, as "we all know", dug the sea with shovels, there were sections defusing numerous ukromifs about the "heroism" of UPA militants, about the Holodomor and others The website of the embassy published hundreds of important archival documents, the unpublished and secrecy of which (until the last moment) was probably one of the reasons for the efficiency of the frank perversion of our common history by Ukrainian pseudo-scientists on order our common "friends". Let the Maidan ghouls not get acquainted with these documents, but those who sooner or later let the Maidan power for scrapping and subsequent melting will get acquainted.

RAE 2015
A modernized T-72 with a set of defenses for the battles in the city was introduced in Nizhny Tagil on the RAE 2015. The machine is equipped with additional protective equipment, including a set of modular screens and even a special blade for pushing objects obstructing movement from the route. [
The T-72 tank upgraded for use in urban environments is, of course, not the only instance of military equipment that was noticed by exhibition visitors and potential customers. The exhibition itself has become an event in the arms world, marking an impressive scale. In RAE 2015, 188 companies took part, exhibiting around 2,7 thousands of different exhibits. Representatives of 52-s foreign delegations arrived in Nizhny Tagil (hello to the sanctions! ..). The stands, which contained 2,3 thousands of spectators, who had the opportunity to personally follow the military equipment in the case, were, what is called, chock daily. For 4 of the day of the demonstration of the crew of two hundred combat vehicles, more than 9,1 thousand of ammunition was spent. About 50 thousand people visited the exhibition. Expected information about the volume of contracts.

Hemp powder and associative rows
Specialists of the Central Research Institute of Chemistry announced the development of gunpower from hemp and flax. As it turned out, the order for such development was received from the Ministry of Defense at TsNIICHM as early as 2008.
Allow yourself to speculate not about gunpowder as such, but about how our attitude to many words in Russian has changed. The very word "hemp" in our first place was to cause "bright" images of smoking junkies with a foggy look. And then, you know, some kind of gunpowder from hemp ... Like from hemp? .. Why from hemp? .. It's like a metamorphosis with the word "blue." Blue sky, blue car and blue puppy eclipsed in the associative plan "Blue Oyster". Why are there "blue" or "hemp" ... - Dill without new associations and you can’t pick them off the bed ...
And "gunpowder"? And if this word is yes with a capital letter? Then the associative row with the word "hemp" becomes even richer ... Oh, and we are vulgar people ...

The main content of psychogenic substances in the resin of the flower, which is released to protect the plant from overheating. If the flower does not produce resin (i.e., it is not hot enough around), then all hemp is nothing more than ordinary grass.
Simple hemp you can even smoke a bucket, you torknet, except from the effect of self-hypnosis.
Therefore, the cultivation of industrial hemp in our latitudes is absolutely safe.
I would even say that here, precisely because of the temperate climate, good, industrial hemp can grow. If it blooms, it partially loses the strength of the fibers. That is why we made some of the world's best ship gear in the era of sailing ships from hemp.
"Body kit" for "Kalashnikov"
“Kalashnikov” has developed a universal kit for the automaton of the same name, the installation of which allows to improve the effectiveness of the weapon in terms of the “frequency of defeat” at a distance of up to 300 m “at any time of day and in different climatic conditions”. The kit is installed in 15-20 minutes on any AK, which is in service with Russian security forces.
Tactical flashlight, laser designator, additional sights, front handle, Picatinny rail, modernized folding butt - the same set that should turn the good old Kalash into a weapon that meets the needs of modern shooters. But there are also some nuances that you cannot but pay attention to. For example, fixing the sighting device on the receiver cover. Have the “backlashes” been taken into account during the “aiming” shooting due to its (cover) far from the 100% rigid fixing? Or problems with rigidity solved? So far, there are no official comments from the developers of the new set for the Kalashnikov assault rifle.

"Leader of the Year", a smile!
The European economic journal Euromoney praised the work of the head of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina. She is recognized as the “leader of the year”, that is, the best among the leaders of the central banks of the world: after all, with a significant drop in oil prices and tightening of economic sanctions, the Russian economy “did not go into a tailspin”.
By the way, the magazine about eurodenezhki printed in democratic Britain since the days of the Cold War (more precisely, with 1969 year). He has been distributing prizes in economics since the beginning of the 1990s. Russian economists favor it rarely. But as soon as the crisis began, awards went to Russia for some reason.
The next year, the British are likely to reward Ulyukaev. It is he, and not Nabiullina, who is responsible for economic “development” in Russia.

And now think about the means for which the military-industrial complex has been updated in recent years.
Kudrin was a categorical opponent of the sponsorship of the military-industrial complex. And why, unlike Kudrin, Russia is now reducing US T-bills.
And yet Nabiullina each month destroys another bank-laundry or just banks that could not report, which was not at Kudrin. But the money of state-va allocated to "Rosnano" and "Rain."
And Nabiullina supported the creation of vegetable stores for state funds.
And such vegetable stores will destroy food inflation, which does not depend on the dollar exchange rate.

Nostradamus is sad
From the forecasts of the recent past, predictions of government economists, oil managers, market speculators, people from OPEC and other experts about world oil prices are known. Eating up with the euphoria of high incomes, some of these experts predicted the price of "black gold" as much as two hundred dollars per barrel. 150 or 100 coins per barrel seemed to be quite ordinary forecasts. And only the sly Saudis talked about twenty dollars per barrel.
We have no right to ignore the forecast of the economic guru of the domestic spill - Alexei Ulyukayev. Our Minister of Economic Development recently promised 60 dollars per barrel. 21 June, this official said: in 2015, the cost of a barrel of oil will be 60 dollars, and in 2016, oil will be sold at 75 dollars. “This is such a highly conservative prediction, such a high stability of the structures that we have no reason to revise,” Ulyukayev emphasized. ”
No reason to revise, speak?
This minor prophet from the economy and its "development" already in September issued a new forecast, much more in line with reality and not leaving a basement of former ministerial optimism or a brick.
“The Ministry of Economic Development has revised downward the scenario of the country's socio-economic development before 2018,” writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the most genuine official source, on September 10. - The final version of the “Basic Parameters of the Forecast of the Socio-Economic Development of the Russian Federation for 2016-2018” was sent to the government. ”
And here is the key forecast: recognition of the dependence of the Russian economy on world prices for raw materials. In the Ministry of Economic Development forecast, the average cost of a barrel of oil in the fourth quarter of 2015 is equal to 38,7 dollars. This number of experts rightly called the "shock" price. Lower oil prices pose major risks for the Russian economy. Budget expenditures will be reduced ...

Higher prices may contribute to a sort of medium-sized war in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula with the participation of the oil monarchies. It seems that the Saudis have sensed this moment with their ass and against this background have often come to Russia on various occasions.

There King Kashchei over gold withers
In Europe, there has been a trend towards the repatriation of national gold reserves stored in the US Federal Reserve Bank (New York), as well as in banks in England and France. Following Germany, exporting gold from the United States and France, the central banks of Austria and the Netherlands became interested in repatriation. Austria intends to return the gold from the Bank of England, and the Netherlands takes the bullion from the United States. As a result of the “departure” of the goldfish to its historic homeland, its reserves in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York noticeably decreased.
Austria intends to return home tons of gold from the Bank of England 140. It is probably a matter of mistrust to this particular bank, since Austrians will return 92,4 tons to Vienna, and 47,6 tons will be sent for storage in Switzerland.
But the Netherlands does not seem to be inclined to trust the United States. Since last year, De Nederlandsche Bank has transported tons of its stocks to the country of 600. Currently 51% Dutch gold is stored in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This amount is planned to be reduced to 31%. In banks of Canada and England, the volume of Dutch gold (respectively 20% and 18%) will remain unchanged.
Well, Germany, apparently, categorically does not trust France, since it decided to take away all its gold from there. The Bundesbank continues to repatriate gold as part of a program to return 674 tons to 2020: 374 tons from France and 300 tons from the USA. The Germans are relatively trusting to the United States: on 31 December 2014, the Federal Reserve Bank in New York kept 1.447 tons (42,8%) of Germany’s gold reserves. The Germans take all 300 tons from New York, moreover, not simultaneously, but in stages, until 2020. At the same time, the Germans are not taking gold from the Bank of England in London, where there is quite a lot of it - 438 tons.

From governors to premieres
The recent radical statements by Saakashvili, who compared Ukraine with Gabon, set up Poroshenko: after all, they are extremely offensive for the ruler of the Square. Saakashvili, moreover, made conceptual statements about a parallel government in Ukraine, thereby hinting at a conspiracy of oligarchs. VO observer Viktor Kamenev believes that Saakashvili is torn between the American authorities and Poroshenko, and even gives the latter a reason to dismiss himself. Apparently, it's time to get out of a dangerous game.
Recall, Odessa boss M. Saakashvili recently publicly voiced large numbers: Ukrainian GDP collapsed from 184 to 115 billion dollars. And in order to return the country to the Ukraine that was under Yanukovych, it will take a decade and a half. If only the pace of development will continue. And if they do not survive? Saakashvili said nothing about it.
But he compared Ukraine in terms of GDP with Gabon (with irony, noting: "With all due respect for Africa"). "The shadow economy jumped from 32% to 47% when it was operating over the past year and a half of the current government," Saakashvili explained. It kills the business. He further called for radical reforms.
As for the opinion on the withdrawal of Saakashvili from the game, the situation is exactly the opposite: Saakashvili clearly decided to take a different role and even write new rules of the game.
September 1 on the official website of Petro Poroshenko was open collection of signatures for the appointment of Saakashvili Prime Minister of Ukraine ( link). It was necessary to collect 25.000 signatures; very quickly their number was more than 31,5 thousand, and the collection was declared completed.
The move is quite understandable and logical. For the “radical” Saakashvili, the post of prime minister is the very thing. For, after the Georgian presidency, being a governor abroad is not comme il faut. In addition, Saakashvili has already prepared a liberal replacement for the Odessa chair: Masha Gaidar.

Russia rescues Syria
The coalition, led by the United States, did not achieve the expected results in the fight against the "Islamic State." Meanwhile, Russia and Iran are seeking to join forces with the Syrian government opposing the terrorists. If a new alliance takes place, and if Russia and Iran overcome Islamists, the United States will lose its ability to influence the situation in the Middle East. Experts even speak about Putin’s coming “star hour”.
Arab media speak about Russia with respect, and about the United States - almost with disdain. For example, Al-Arabia writes that Moscow does not hide its support for Bashar Assad. And he does not hide the supply of weapons and military equipment to Syria. Russia has not changed its position on Syria, says the browser. Moreover, it is now ready not only to preserve the current government in Damascus and to help it in every way, but also to promote the formation of a different political approach, implying partnership with the Syrian and regional forces to fight terrorism.
But the Western powers, including the United States, Great Britain, France, have changed their position, even if they are talking about Assad being deprived of power. The leaders of these states, in the opinion of Al-Arabia, are ready to "reconcile" even with the support of Assad by Moscow, Tehran and Beijing.
In a word, Eastern analysts clearly understand that the United States is quitting the game in the Middle East, and Russia comes there, which will certainly help Syria and create a coalition with the Syrian ally Iran.

French caricature features
The scandal with the publication of caricatures in “Charlie Hebdo” is gaining momentum. It is possible that the editors will be attracted to an international court. The public in social networks found in cartoons of a drowned Syrian boy a variety of meanings, including a poisonous mockery of migrants, as if traveling to Europe not for the sake of salvation, but because of the blessings of a well-fed and peaceful life.
Employees of the channel "LifeNews" appealed to the editor of "Charlie Hebdo" with a request to decipher the meaning of the picture. “This tragic image of little Ailan has become a symbol of the plight of migrants and refugees today,” answered Charlie Hebdo. - Our works cover the same events as you (journalists. - LifeNews). It is human trafficking, organized by smugglers, and illegal migrants fleeing the disaster zone, and Europe’s inaction. ”
The editorial satirical edition complained that the audience does not know how to understand social satire.
Condemning the cartoons, we believe the public is right. The massive, on a global scale, lack of understanding of the social satire of the journal and a large number of its contradictory interpretations suggest that the authors should reconsider something in their approach, otherwise they will not have any admirers. In any art requires a clear understanding of the idea. If it is not, the artist loses benchmarks, unable to choose the main one. It is also good to have a sense of proportion.
Both of these items were broken by artists.
Instead of explaining the meaning of their drawings to the public, caricaturists would have better listened to the criticism and apologized for the image of the dead child at a billboard with fast food advertising.

Something is wrong in the Danish kingdom ...
The press leaked information about the systematic deception of the most important person on the planet - His Majesty the temporary hegemon Barack Obama. Fifty-two scouts said that their reports on the “Islamic State” were put by dark individuals on Obama’s table in a distorted way. And that does not put. And so it has been going on for two years now.
More 50 intelligence analysts working for the US Central Command (CENTCOM) have officially filed a complaint about the misrepresentation of their reports on the activities of the IG and Al Qaeda branches in Syria. According to them, the documents were “improperly edited” by “senior officials”. The complaint led to the start of the investigation, which was led by the Pentagon’s inspector general.
Going beyond the actual “editing” of reports, the authors of the complaint accused some senior commanders of “creating a non-professional working environment.” Many of them insist that those who deal with such document distortions could not give an objective assessment of the situation in Iraq and Syria. Some believe that this activity is aimed at ensuring their careers.
The story of the complaint has already been continued. Pentagon chief Ashton Carter complained about the quality of intelligence provided to his office.
As a result, we add from ourselves, in favor of career and selfish interests, and at the same time to polish the blown political image of the inhabitants of the White House, an absurd picture of what is happening appears in the media: Islamist militants attack, capture cities in Syria, their numbers and wealth are increasing, they are boldly they sell oil and cut off people's heads, and Kerry and Obama, with smiles, report successes and victories and declare that the days of IG are numbered. I remember the elderly Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, who did not like to receive bad reports from Andropov, but he adored to be decorated with orders.

The collapse of Russia is canceled
Nicholas Gvozdev in The National Interest writes that statements about the “collapse of Russia” are greatly exaggerated. In other words, the opinions that Western sanctions plus a drop in oil prices, combined with a slowdown in China’s economic growth have led the Kremlin to the brink of precipice, are premature. Of course, Russia does not have such global opportunities to use military force abroad, but it is fully capable of sending troops to Syria and is still one of the few selected states that can support their military forces outside their territory. And today, the Kremlin makes it clear, the analyst believes that he plans to take an active part in setting the agenda in the Middle East.
The Kremlin’s behavior reassures Russian partners: Moscow is ready to fulfill its obligations, even if it costs her dearly in terms of resources, people's lives and reputation. This did not go unnoticed in Egypt and Azerbaijan, the author writes, where the authorities questioned "American commitment" to their interests. For the Middle Eastern states that oppose Russian policy in Syria, Putin’s decision to raise the stakes may lead to an overestimation of values: in monarchies they may decide that it’s not Moscow that should be looking for a viable solution, but Moscow. Especially since in the United States on the nose elections.
In Ukraine, Russia is also increasingly confident in its position. Violence is a thing of the past, the cease-fire regime is more or less being held. At the same time, the current internal political and economic problems of Ukraine say: there is no big “maydan-breakthrough”, the country has not at all taken the path of “close integration with the Euro-Atlantic world”. Instead, everyone sees a protracted crisis. And in a “frozen” conflict, Moscow retains significant leverage.
Comrade Asad is counting on the Kremlin, and with it are people from Tehran. Arabs from the leading states of the Persian Gulf rush to Russia with visits, previously seeking “help” and “stability” from the United States. Finally, having made mistakes in the Middle East policy and being completely entangled in it, the American envoys also fly to Putin. All roads now lead to Moscow. Nothing fancy: the ordinary Third Rome.
