Ну чо, опять развесил мне свою весёлую гейскую клюкву? Да, пиздато!

Встреча с главой Ингушетии Юнус-Беком Евкуровым.

"Ну чо, опять развесил мне свою весёлую гейскую клюкву? Да, пиздато!
Но насчёт энтого ты прав: и комбинатор я, и стабилизатор, и аггрегатор, и ассенизатор, и водовоз. Но самое главное - радиатор... И только добрые лучи радиирую, не как некоторые. 
Володимир я, Светлое Солнышко! И святым скоро тоже назначат, не ссы... Кирюха сам обещал, не подведёт, свой парень. И Папу твово не спросим, мы - автокефальные, своим собственным кафелем всё покроем. Так вот, поди-ка, выкуси... "

Глава Ингушетии Юнус-Бек Евкуров.

"Ну давай, воскуряй фимиам своим евикам!" 

С Министром промышленности и торговли Денисом Мантуровым.

"Клюква - клюквой, а ишь как полыхает... И прямо с неба! Гу-рустно... Да, пахнет керосином!
Такую хуйню мне и впрямь крыть нечем... "

На встрече с Министром промышленности и торговли Денисом Мантуровым.

"Ну ничо, Я по орешкам, продолжать буду, урожай собирать: "мы с тобою два орешка под единой скорлупой..." - персидская классика. Омар, наш чел тоже, а не просто Хайим ваш какой-нибудь.

"Мы всех как надо поставим, в натуральное состояние..."

Все мы - нат-с. Нат-те-с, кушайте на здоровье, я - ваша дядя... "

C Министром промышленности и торговли Денисом Мантуровым.

- Ну чо, Монтёров, как ремонтировать будем? Может найдём чо-нибудь, для противодействия? 

- Не, никак невозможно... Мы только по комбайнам специализируемся, по зерноуборочным. 

"Ну вот, и энтот сидит, с открытым ртом, "по серноуборочным"... С такими найдёшь... Державу просрали! 
Урезал я им, подстриг почти на 20%, с 32 до 26, вот они и бесятся со злости, работать не хотят. 
Пусть сами рыщут, деньгу ищут! 
В школу их; назад, на Соловки! Быстро всё вспомнят! Где чо лежит и откуда кому куда чо светит и радиирует. Только и умеют, что языки чесать, по фене по своей ботают. Я энтим ботщикам покажу Кузину маму. Уволю всех к ебене фене! Разгоню! За професс-и-анальное несоответствие! По постанавлению 1312! Совсем зарвались! Да ещё Америку провоцировать! Работать не умеют! Я им начешу одно место, без скипидара разбегутся! Тёмина своего назад приведу, хоть и в тёмную. Хоть мой чел будет. А там и хер с ними, евиками, пусть хоть жопу себе радиируют. Ништяк, не пропадём, мы у Христа за пазухой, в самом укромном и тайном месте. Кирюха сам сказал... 

И кроме всего этого, ты из 13 мудрецов хочешь вычесть 12, и оставить меня одного ответственым за всё. Да, ниччо себе, пиздато, богато, по старым традициям, козла отпущения найти... Коллективные решения и индивидуальная личная ответственность: умно, красиво... "по всем преданьям старины, что похвалить мы Вас должны..." 

At this point, I've lost my gift of the Russian tongue. My jaw dropped a bit and my mouth stayed open too, for a while, as I contemplated an answer. It is not that I could not find the arguments, there is a mountain of them, but... He is quite good at the defense. The self-defense, I mean...

Putin: READ MY LIPS: "кое-что хорошее мы всё-таки сделали..."


Совещание с членами Правительства - 11 января 2017 года 14:50 - Москва, Кремль

Владимир Путин провёл совещание с членами Правительства. Обсуждались приоритетные задачи социально-экономического развития России на 2017 год.
_________________________________________

Putin: READ MY LIPS: Video: 19:44 - 20:26 - "кое-что хорошее мы всё-таки сделали..." 

Two inaudible remarks (response to: "Communicate openly and in words, not sounds, as a  man should."), addressed to, as it appears, to Medvedev, which it looks like, and I tentatively interpreted them as: "Хуй им... [Мы их] Выебали!" 
But let the professional lip readers check and recheck on this (interpretation), maybe it was something else or different. 
As of 1:20 PM or earlier, after I wrote the draft of this post on this subject, this part appears to be somewhat, mildly, or softly edited, which makes its "lip reading" more difficult. 
Also note very sad, somber, almost crying facial expression and generally, the rather unusual, just like the "silent speech pauses", subdued tone. 

The part about the "Mountain skiing", which is a rather rare subject for the Government's meeting, I interpreted as a direct threat to me (which might be seen as a follow-up and confirmation of some previous clues, and also some others): "You, the Mountain Jew, we will put you on skis - we will fuck you up". 

If I am correct, and it is a threat, it absolutely does not concern me; at all, believe me.  I could not care less. 
The only thing I can say, is: 

"Малчик замзем узу ума зашёл... Уже без-зувуучно гаварит... Великий Коммуникатор - Стабилизатор - Аггрегатор... За сивой дуруга пириживаить! Вах! Бедний мальцик - с пальцик... И сикора, наверний, самзем заглохнит... Вах! Как гурустна! Питицка жалка, э... Такой хоросий питицка была, как орёл летала! А теперя? Как маленькая жалкая жареная цыпылёнка, даже один слова сказать не может... Наверна, боисся... Боись, малшик, писай, сси-и-и-и-и... Тонкий ситуруйка! Пачему зи Америка зивязывалься? Ты думаись, такой замзем балшой уже, да? А типер, писий, писий... Дажи сивой кудах-кудах уже делать ни можит, как риба, биз слова разговаривай делаит... Вах! Замзем пирапал! И эйта я тибя как горний иеврей гаварю... Я хоть и безграмотний, но один-два силов, со зувукам, читоба люди сылашали, сыказать ишшо ни забиль. Да!" 

На торжественном заседании, посвящённом 295-летию российской прокуратуры.


На торжественном заседании, посвящённом 295-летию российской прокуратуры. 

11 января 2017 года Москва

M.N.: One of the most sarcastic Putin's facial expressions, that I ever saw and remember. It is not clear, whom it is addressed: to America (regarding the Trump affair; looks west), or to his own prosecutors, or both.

What we know about Fort Lauderdale airport shooter Esteban Santiago

1 Share
The suspect in the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting is a 26-year-old Army veteran named Esteban Santiago. Officials say he reached out to the FBI in November and told them that the Islamic State had taken control of his mind. USA TODAY NETWORK

Esteban Santiago, the 26-year-old Army veteran charged with killing five people at , made his first appearance in federal court on Monday.
Little is known about why Santiago chose an airport 4,000 miles away from his hometown in Anchorage, Alaska, or what led him to unload two clips from his Walther 9mm semiautomatic handgun at random passengers in the baggage area of the airport.
Santiago spoke with officials from the FBI and the Broward County Sheriff's Office for several hours after Friday's shooting, but the criminal complaint filed by the FBI following that interview said only that Santiago "planned the attack" without giving any indication about his motive. Those answers could become clearer through hearings in federal court, where he could face the death penalty.
Here is what we know about Santiago so far.

Troubles at home

Santiago was born in New Jersey in 1990 and moved to Puerto Rico two years later. He spent his childhood there, went to high school and joined the . According to his family, things started changing for Santiago after a nine-month tour of Iraq.
"When he came back from Iraq, he was a different person," Hernan Rivera, 70, Santiago’s uncle, told The New York Times.
Santiago then moved to Alaska where he repeatedly confronted law enforcement. From January to October of 2016, he encountered Anchorage Police at least five times.
He was arrested and charged with criminal mischief following a "physical disturbance" with his girlfriend in January and was re-arrested for violating an order to stay away from their apartment the next month. But he was not arrested following three other calls. Police said each time that they could not establish probable cause.

Mental health problems

Santiago's erratic behavior escalated in November when he walked into the FBI office in Anchorage complaining that "his mind was being controlled by a agency."
FBI officials confiscated the gun he had in his car and sent him to local police, who sent him to get a mental health evaluation. He was cleared, and the FBI closed its file on him and returned his handgun.
But even neighbors sensed that something was changing with Santiago. Many Alaskans already suffer from seasonal affective disorders due to the limited sunlight that reaches the northern state.
"Or it could be (post-traumatic stress disorder) combined with alcohol," Anchorage neighbor said. "We see way too much of that up here."

Shooting spree

Just before 1 p.m. on Friday, the FBI says Santiago retrieved his checked baggage at the Fort Lauderdale airport after flying from Alaska with a connection in Minneapolis.
He then went into a bathroom and loaded inside a bathroom stall. George Piro, special agent in charge of the FBI's Miami division, said he appeared to follow the correct protocol established by the to travel with his gun.
Surveillance video shows Santiago calmly walking through the baggage claim area, pulling the handgun out of his waistband and opening fire on nearby passengers. The FBI says he then emptied one clip, reloaded, kept firing, walked outside the terminal for a moment and re-entered the baggage claim area before dropping the gun and lying down spread eagle.
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said he was arrested "without incident" and taken to the Broward County Jail for questioning.

Deadly attack at Fort Lauderdale International Airport

Aftermath at airport

Five people were killed, including a volunteer firefighter from Virginia, a land surveyor from Iowa and a church-going great-grandmother from Georgia.
Another six people were struck by gunshots and are recovering in local hospitals. Israel said dozens of others were injured in the frantic evacuation of Terminal 2 following the shooting. That included a woman who fled into a Broward Sheriff's Office vehicle only to find a police K-9 inside, which bit her and caused minor injuries.
Israel ordered the airport closed after reports of a second shooter in Terminal 1, prompting mass evacuations that left thousands of passengers on the airport tarmac for hours. More than 12,000 passengers were taken to nearby for the night, and airlines continue to try to get stranded travelers home and return more than 20,000 personal items, including luggage, purses and cellphones, that were left behind in the evacuation.

Future for Santiago

Santiago was charged by the in Miami with committing an act of violence at an international airport and two firearm-related offenses. Those charges could lead to the death penalty.
Piro, who is leading the investigation, has a unique history, serving as the sole interrogator of former Iraqi leader starting in January 2004. Piro has said that he has not yet ruled out terrorism in the case.
Santiago made his first appearance in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom Monday. He is being held without bond but will have a detention hearing on Jan. 17 in Fort Lauderdale.

Vovchik, use Twitter, and in English, the best way to communicate, just like Donald does, and compete with him in building the audience. But both - honestly, without bots and all that garbage. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Good and efficient leaders are first of all good and efficient communicators, but in their respective audiences, (even in Mali, "where we can get stranded..." 20 G won't do. 20 Mil - unlikely, 200 Mil - is a step in the right direction."). Try to encroach on each other's audiences, there is nothing wrong with this either.

Jerusalem lorry attacker 'was IS supporter'

1 Share
Israel's prime minister has said "all the signs" are that a man who killed four soldiers in Jerusalem supported so-called Islamic State (IS).
Although Benjamin Netanyahu did not evidence for the claim, IS has previously threatened to attack Israel.
The Palestinian, who was shot dead, drove a lorry into a group of soldiers in the district of Armon Hanatziv.
An emergency meeting of the Israeli security cabinet approved detention without trial for IS sympathisers.
Three women and a man, all in their 20s, were killed in the attack and 17 others were wounded, police said.
The attacker, identified as 28-year-old Fadi Qunbar, came from the district of Jabel Mukaber in east Jerusalem, near to the attack site.
CCTV footage showed the truck ploughing at high speed into the soldiers, before reversing over the victims.
"He drove backward to crush more people," eyewitness Leah Schreiber told reporters. "That was really clear."
The Israel Defense Forces tweeted that the dead soldiers were Lt Yael Yekutiel, 20; Lt Shir Hajaj, 22; 2nd Lt Erez Orbach, 20 and 2nd Lt Shira Tzur, 20.
Other soldiers shot the driver dead. Nine people were arrested in a raid on his neighbourhood, including five members of his family.
Mr Netanyahu visited the site of the attack on Sunday afternoon and said: "We know that there has been a series of terror attacks.
"There definitely could be a connection between them - from France to Berlin, and now Jerusalem."
Attackers in Nice and Berlin last year used the same method of driving a lorry through a crowd.
National police chief Roni Alseich said it was possible the driver had been motivated by last month's lorry attack in Berlin.
He said: "It is difficult to get into the head of every individual to determine what prompted him, but there is no doubt that these things do have an effect."
IS has previously threatened Israel in video statements and propaganda articles, but it is not known to have mounted any attacks inside the country.
Israel's security forces have, though, intermittently arrested suspects it has accused of belonging to IS.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has control inside Gaza but is designated a terrorist group by Israel, the US and others, praised the attacker.
Hamas spokesman Abdul-Latif Qanou called it a "heroic" act and encouraged other Palestinians to "escalate the resistance".
Before this latest incident, 35 Israelis had been killed in a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since October 2015.
More than 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period.
Israel says Palestinian incitement has fuelled the attacks. The Palestinian leadership has blamed frustration rooted in decades of Israeli occupation.

How We Fool Ourselves on Russia - The New York Times

1 Share
In the quarter-century since the end of the Cold War, profound grievances, misperceptions and disappointments have often defined the relationship between the United States and Russia. I lived through this turbulence during my years as a diplomat in Moscow, navigating the curious mix of hope and humiliation that I remember so vividly in the Russia of Boris N. Yeltsin, and the pugnacity and raw ambition of Vladimir V. Putin’s Kremlin. And I lived through it in Washington, serving both Republican and Democratic administrations.
There have been more than enough illusions on both sides. The United States has oscillated between visions of an enduring partnership with Moscow and dismissing it as a sulking regional power in terminal decline. Russia has moved between notions of a strategic partnership with the United States and a later, deeper desire to upend the current international order, where a dominant United States consigns Russia to a subordinate role.
The reality is that our relationship with Russia will remain competitive, and often adversarial, for the foreseeable future. At its core is a fundamental disconnect in outlook and about each other’s role in the world.
It is tempting to think that personal rapport can bridge this disconnect and that the art of the deal can unlock a grand bargain. That is a foolish starting point for sensible policy. It would be especially foolish to think that Russia’s deeply troubling interference in our election can or should be played down, however inconvenient.
Continue reading the main story
President Putin’s aggressive election meddling, like his broader foreign policy, has at least two motivating factors. The first is his conviction that the surest path to restoring Russia as a great power comes at the expense of an American-led order. He wants Russia unconstrained by Western values and institutions, free to pursue a sphere of influence.
The second motivating factor is closely connected to the first. The legitimacy of Mr. Putin’s system of repressive domestic control depends on the existence of external threats. Surfing on high oil prices, he used to be able to bolster his social contract with the Russian people through rising standards of living. That was clear in the boomtown Moscow I knew as the American ambassador a decade ago, full of the promise of a rising middle class and the consumption of an elite convinced that anything worth doing was worth overdoing. But Mr. Putin has lost that card in a world of lower energy prices and Western sanctions, and with a one-dimensional economy in which real reform is trumped by the imperative of political control and the corruption that lubricates it.
The ultimate realist, Mr. Putin understands Russia’s relative weakness, but regularly demonstrates that declining powers can be at least as disruptive as rising powers. He sees a target-rich environment all around him.
If he can’t easily build Russia up, he can take the United States down a few pegs, with his characteristic tactical agility and willingness to play rough and take risks. If he can’t have a deferential government in Kiev, he can grab Crimea and try to engineer the next best thing, a dysfunctional Ukraine. If he can’t abide the risk of regime upheaval in Syria, he can flex Russia’s military muscle, emasculate the West, and preserve Bashar al-Assad atop the rubble of Aleppo. If he can’t directly intimidate the European Union, he can accelerate its unraveling by supporting anti-Union nationalists and exploiting the wave of migration spawned in part by his own brutality. Wherever he can, he exposes the seeming hypocrisy and fecklessness of Western democracies, blurring the line between fact and fiction.
So what to do? Russia is still too big, proud and influential to ignore and still the only nuclear power comparable to the United States. It remains a major player on problems from the Arctic to Iran and North Korea. We need to focus on the critical before we test the desirable. The first step is to sustain, and if necessary amplify, the actions taken by the Obama administration in response to Russian hacking. Russia challenged the integrity of our democratic system, and Europe’s 2017 electoral landscape is the next battlefield.
A second step is to reassure our European allies of our absolute commitment to NATO. American politicians tell one another to “remember your base,” and that’s what should guide policy toward Russia. Our network of allies is not a millstone around America’s neck, but a powerful asset that sets us apart.
A third step is to stay sharply focused on Ukraine, a country whose fate will be critical to the future of Europe, and Russia, over the next generation. This is not about NATO or European Union membership, both distant aspirations. It is about helping Ukrainian leaders build the successful political system that Russia seeks to subvert.
Finally, we should be wary of superficially appealing notions like a common war on Islamic extremism or a common effort to “contain” China. Russia’s bloody role in Syria makes the terrorist threat far worse and despite long-term concerns about a rising China, Mr. Putin has little inclination to sacrifice a relationship with Beijing.
I’ve learned a few lessons during my diplomatic career, often the hard way. I learned to respect Russians and their history and vitality. I learned that it rarely pays to neglect or underestimate Russia, or display gratuitous disrespect. But I also learned that firmness and vigilance, and a healthy grasp of the limits of the possible, are the best way to deal with the combustible combination of grievance and insecurity that Vladimir Putin embodies. I’ve learned that we have a much better hand to play with Mr. Putin than he does with us. If we play it methodically, confident in our enduring strengths, and unapologetic about our values, we can eventually build a more stable relationship, without illusions.

Reince Priebus acknowledges Russia was behind hacks - Business Insider

Chris Wallace Grills Reince Priebus For Blaming DNC for Hack FULL Interview 1/8/17 - YouTube

Published on Jan 8, 2017
Reince Priebus Fox News Sunday FULL Interview 1/8/17. Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace pressed incoming White House chief-of-staff Reince Priebus after he seemingly suggested that the Democratic National Committee was to blame for its own emails being hacked. Wallace began by asking the outgoing RNC chairman if his boss Donald Trump now accepted that “the Russians” were behind the DNC hack. Priebus deflected ever so slightly, saying that Trump accepted the findings that “entities in Russia” were behind the hacks.

Priebus went on to argue that the Democrats were at fault for “allowing” the Russians to hack them. “We have the DNC as a sitting duck. Wait a second, Chris, because it matters…” he said when Wallace began to object. “They lacked defenses. They lacked training. They allowed foreign governments into their system.”

“Well who do you blame more for this?” asked Wallace. “Do you blame Putin and the Kremlin, or do you blame the DNC? Who’s the primary actor here?”

“The primary actor is the foreign entity that’s perpetrating the crime to begin with,” Priebus said.

“Which was? Which was?” Wallace pressed repeatedly, speaking over him.

Paul Desmond: Edmonton 1976 - YouTube

1 Share

Published on Apr 23, 2015
Paul Desmond - Edmonton Festival 76
Recorded live at Edmonton Jazz Festival, Canada
Wednesday, April 14, 1976.


Desmond appeared only half a dozen times with his "Canadian Quartet" -- Ed Bickert on guitar, Don Thompson on bass, and Jerry Fuller on drums. Fortunately Don Thompson also doubles as a recording engineer, and a number of the club dates were recorded and released. The group also appeared on CBC-TV s Take 30, and were recorded at the Edmonton Jazz Festival.

Paul Desmond is widely recognized for his genius as a melodic improviser and as the benchmark of cool jazz sax players. His warm, elegant tone was one that he admittedly tried to make sound like a dry martini. He and Art Pepper were virtually the only alto players of their generation not directly influenced by Charlie Parker. Desmond was influenced by Lester Young, but took it further, into melodic and harmonic worlds never before traveled by reedmen — especially in the upper registers. Desmond is best known for his years with the Dave Brubeck Quartet (1959-1967) and his infamous composition "Take Five." He met Brubeck in the late '40s and played with his Octet. The Quartet formed toward the end of 1950 and took final shape with Eugene Wright and Joe Morello a few years later. Jazz at Oberlin and Take Five were considered essential purchases by college students of the era, but Jazz Impressions of Japan was its most innovative recording. Desmond played his loping, slow, ordered, and intricate solos in direct contrast to the pianist's obsession with large chords, creating a myriad of textures for melodic and rhythmic counterpoint unlike any heard in jazz. His witty quotations from musicals, classical pieces, and folk songs were also a watermark of his artistry. When the Quartet split in 1967, Desmond began an intermittent yet satisfying recording career. It included dates with Gerry Mulligan for Verve, various sessions with Jim Hall, and a concert with the the Modern Jazz Quartet. He played his last gigs with the Brubeck Quartet at reunions before dying of lung cancer. Desmond's recordings for RCA have gotten box-set treatment and Mosaic issued one of the complete sessions with Hall. There are also reissues from A&M and CTI, though recordings on Artist House and Finesse remain regrettably out of print. ~ Thom JUREK - AMG

Paul Desmond: From The Hot Afternoon 1969 - YouTube

1 Share

Published on Apr 23, 2015
Paul Desmond - From The Hot Afternoon
Original Release Date: 2000
Audio CD (April 4, 2000)


Paul Desmond's first genuine all-Brazilian album under the Creed Taylor signature was a beauty, a collection of songs by the then-moderately known Edu Lobo and the emerging giant Milton Nascimento, then only in his early twenties. All Desmond has to do is sit back and ride the Brazilian grooves while lyrically ruminating on whatever pops into his head. It sounds so effortless -- until you try it yourself. The swirling, often gorgeous orchestral arrangements are by Don Sebesky (one CD edition mistakenly gives Claus Ogermann credit on the cover), Airto Moreira leads the samba-flavored percussion forces, and Lobo and his wife Wanda de Sah appear on three of Lobo's four songs. Lobo's "To Say Goodbye," "Circles," and "Martha and Romao" have exactly the brand of wistful sadness that Desmond could communicate so well; on the former, de Sah has to sing well below the register with which she is comfortable, and the strain is painfully obvious. Some of Nascimento's best early tunes are here, including the tense title track, the popping "Catavento," and "Canto Latino." "Catavento" inspires a particularly inventive solo from Desmond where he pulls out one of his age-old tricks, quoting "St. Thomas." The recent Verve By Request edition adds no less than six alternate takes to the package. ~ by Richard S. Ginell

You probably are unfamiliar with the small CTI collection featuring the prolific Bruback sax sideman. Sad, because these are amoung the best he did with a larger backing. This has Brazilian lushness right from the first cut. Outubro is a Nascimento tune that will astound you. Look, we are talking Airto, Ron Carter, Dorio Ferrira and Edu Lobo with a who's who in studio greats led by Don Sebesky. You will not regret this masterpiece for one moment. Hell, even the outtakes are gems. Martha & Romao gets so lush you'll put it on repeat at least for an hour..did I regress? Sorry. If that sounds like an exaggeration, wait until you hear the Sergio Mendes '65 alumni, Wanda de Sah literally "breathe" the song "to Say Good-bye." By the way, most people do not know that Sergio Mendes thought this CD up! Here it is, too many of the RCA cuts and too many of the Brubeck stuff is heavily contrived. That is why the Carnegie Hall Live Concert set gives you the REAL Brubeck quartet. This is the same thing. It is so soft and "jazz pure" that the strings only make this CD, and Desmond's next CTI release "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," better. This is a "must have" for any real lover of good music. ~ E. Macomber "gmonet"
